Chapter 005
(TL notes: we will finally learn why the series is named this way)
“How about that? How’s the taste of my fist?”
Hage was laughing while sending another punch towards my stomach .
“Ugh . . ”
I curled up while holding my stomach . Hage then followed up with a kick . I used Body Enhancement to ease the pain and reduce the damage taken . It seemed that Hage didn’t notice it .
In this world, there exist people like him . Those who have a little bit of power and use it to bully others . Why can I still keep my calm? Because of the debt of my father-in-law, I have often been abused by the debt collector . Violence, it has become my friend . I have gotten used to being tortured . Even in this other world I still get stuck in this position .
I couldn’t fight back . I didn’t have any weapons and our strength difference is too big . He grabbed me by my collar and whispered to my ear . “Do you know why I am doing this?”
“Why?” – I don’t know his reason .
“You know, we have been allowing you to gather some herbs, but aren’t you mistaking our kindness?”
At this moment, the people from his party joined in on his arguments .
“Don’t be mistaken . We never thought of you as one of us . ”
“Your black hair, the villagers believe it to be a bad omen . And your black eyes, they’re pissing me off . ”
“Did you think that you could continue living here?”
“What about Stella? We don’t want anything bad to happen to her because of you . ”
Even the fat uncle nods .
Was this really how the villagers see me?
Stranger . . Bad omen . . Unwanted person . .
“Do we have to kick you out with that old grandma?” – Hage said that to me .
“If you don’t want that to happen, you should keep on gathering herbs and leaving them at the village everyday . You don’t have to wait for the rewards of course . ”
What is this? First he threatened me, then asked me to work for free? He can take my money, but… Taking away Grandma Stella from me… She’s the only one I have and she has even been taking care of me as if I was her own child .
Are the villagers trying to make me feel deprived?
No! I hate being deprived . I don’t want to feel deprived anymore! I hate this! I hate this!
Stinging pain appeared in my head . I was going crazy, because of the pain .
I could see it in Hage’s eyes .
They are the same eyes as the debt collector’s .
The eyes that are trying to make me feel deprived .
Hage continued beating me up .
Will I return to being a deprived person? No! I don’t want to be deprived .
