The first time I used Body Enhancement it could only last for five minutes . It becomes longer every day along with my MP increasing . The increase in MP also has something to do with the increase of my Magic stat .

The way of using Body Enhancement is through Mana circulation inside your body . It’s as if your inner energy was creating a layer of Mana around your body . While maintaining the effect, I started my herb gathering routine . Usually I would do it until the evening . But now, it was finished in the early afternoon . Because of that, I now had the time to do some muscle training . While using Body Enhancement, I could feel that there was no strain on my muscles, so I could train them after herbs gathering .

I reported the quest to the fat uncle . “You should be able to gather twice the amount! Hump!” – maybe his attitude towards me has changed, because now I earn 6 copper moon coins .

When I exited the Guild Hall, I saw Hage . I need to run away before he does something to me . I have met some villagers on the way, but their attitude towards me isn’t any better than Hage’s .

“Black eyes and hair, as if possessed by a demon . ”

“Go away from our village . ”





This was nothing new . They even threw some rocks towards me . I can only dodge some of them and the rest naturally hit me . This was still something that I could handle . This kind of pain…

In my line of sight I saw a girl . She is the only one that didn’t throw rocks at me and didn’t look at me with the same eyes as the villagers . She is 15 to 17 years old . She wears leather pants and armor . Her weapon is a dagger resided at her waist . She is this village last adventurer . This village has five in total . Hage, with the other three in his party, and she is the last one .

When I got back, Grandma Stella was sewing .

“Welcome back, Yu . ”

“I’m home . ”

“Did you have a hard time at the village?”

“No, I’m fine . ”

When she had seen me coming back injured for the first time, she cried all night long . So, it was good that we lived far from the village, if not, the villagers might have harmed her too .
I’m grateful to her for taking me in and teaching me a lot of things . A couple of days ago she taught me how to make dried fruits . Telling me about heroic tales from history . Today, she taught me how to sew . Maybe these things I learn will benefit me in the future . I know that she’s teaching me earnestly without any ill will .

……… .
A couple of days later, after having finished my task of herbs gathering and reported it, Hage was standing at the entrance . I had a bad feeling about this, so I have tried to slip past him .

“Ugh . . ”

I felt a shock coming from my stomach . I fell down to the floor and Hage was standing there . Looking down on me with his usual bad smile .
