Rising Life Volume 1, Chapter 4

Episode 4 Awakening the Deadliest Adventurer

 At that moment, everything changed.

「――――!!!」

 As soon as the glasses touched his nose, his thoughts became clearer and his downward feelings disappeared as if they were a lie.

 He felts an unfounded confidence welling up from within him, and he began to feel that the random people passing by on the street were lesser creatures than himself.

「.......! This is ......」

 His eyes tighten.

 I guess now I look like one of those slutty elites at the adventurer's guild who do one paperwork job after another, don't I?

『Unfortunately, you don't look like that. You're just a dull old man with a beard grinning with his glasses on.』

「Oh, that's not good. If I don't shave and trim my hair, and change my raggedy clothes quickly, my value will be diminished.」

『The person who wears me is so confident that he feels as if he is a god. But.....Unfortunately, the contents are still the same, so even if a normal person wears me, only one misunderstood fool will be born. It's a very difficult tool to handle, and one that requires the right user.』

「Is nothing going to change? That can't be true. In fact, I'm doing this......Muu」

『What? Your amount of magic won't change, and your physical abilities won't improve. You're still you.』

「I see.」

 Kian nodded once and spat with a smile on his glasses.

「In other words, basically you're trash?」

『No. I'm not trash. To prove it, I'm going to give you some knowledge.』

「What kind of inorganic creature would lend me wisdom?」

 Normally, he just listens to the glasses anyway――But right now, he felt like he had to overreact to everything the glasses said.

『Now listen. You, Kian, have been forced to accept the position of a warrior who is a step below the rest because of your lack of magic power, haven't you』

「It's true, though it's hard to believe. It is very difficult for me to strengthen my physical abilities with my magic power, and I can only heal myself three times a day. And if I use up my healing arts, I will be out of action for a day afterward.」

『If it's not enough, you can get it from somewhere else.』

「What ......?」

 Kian furrowed his brow under his glasses.

 Did this guy just ask me to suck magic power - the source of life - from another person?

『Indeed. The Azrair healers heal by casting their magic power into the target to make it heal. You can do the opposite. Connect the paths and suck out the chi.』

「Theoretically, it can be done, but......」

『I can teach you how to do it, how to feel it.』

「According to the Bible, Azrair healed his son with his right hand and reaped the life of the sinner with his left. The miracle of healing is a symbol of salvation. To use it to take a life is the most blasphemous thing I've ever heard.』

「Do you hesitate? Has Azrair forsaken you?』

「............」

『Your body's inability to generate magic power is proof that you are not loved by God.』

「Well, let's leave the religious talk aside. No matter what, I need magic power if I'm going to make it. If I can make up for it by taking it from others, I have no other choice. I'll just exploit them until I get tired of eating them.」

『Hoho, that's great. That's the first step to becoming a hero. The fact that you have so little Tachyonian means that even if you take in someone else's magic power, you won't experience any magical resistance and will be able to use almost all of it for yourself. Make the most of this trait that were not loved by the gods.』

 Sucking magic power from others.

 It is a forbidden and lost magic.

 Legend has it that vampires only consumed blood lightly, like wine or other indulgences, but actually maintained their great power through the act of spirit absorption.

 Even today, vampires themselves still exist, but none of them use the advanced technique of stealing magical power from others. There are lower-ranked demons called succubus and incubus, but what they do is not, strictly speaking, the taking of magical power.

『Well, I'm going to teach you the lost art of vampire magic.』

「Hmm. ....... Speaking of which, how did the legendary vampires resist the magic? Contextually, vampires were also low on Tachyonian, right? Did they have to bump off every bit of magic power they sucked out of someone else?」

『Instead of resisting the magic, they were eating it and absorbing it. This is why advanced vampires were so strong. I do not know the details. Don't ask too much.』

「Murgh. It suddenly occurred to me. It's a magical resistance, but when you suck the magic power out of another person, I'm naturally subject to magical resistance, right?」

『Of course.』

「Then it's impossible to suck it up. With the amount of magic power I have, I can't even break through the magic resistance of ordinary people. Even if I could, I'd be in the red with the amount I used to break through the resistance.」

『Certainly, if you use magic from the outside, you'll be met with a lot of resistance. Then how about from the inside?」

「...... I see.」

 If the magic is invoked from within your own body, there will be little resistance.

 In addition to that, you can put the target in a temporary state of paralysis, making it impossible to resist.

(Right. That's why vampires have fangs, charm magic, and the ability to paralyze the person they bite.)

『Enough about vampires. You are a human, and if you want to suck it off, you can do it with a kiss, or...』

「Contact between reproductive organs――Sex.」

 Kian continued, his glasses gleaming.

「Excellent. That's very efficient. And sex can make my dick feels good, too.」

『That's what I meant.』

「Kuku, I see what you mean. You and I are a good match, and my life would never have been the same without you. For now, I'm grateful.」

『You'll have to repay me with adventure.』

「Yeah, I'm not going to forget this. Even if it means taking off my glasses.」

 With that, Kian walked through the gate of the street market and out onto the main street.

 The East End, the eastern frontier of the Kingdom of Franz, is a city of demons and adventurers, and many of the people passing by are adventurers.

 If you look at the sky, it's reddish purple.

 They were probably on their way back to the tavern where they were based after the day's hunting was over.

 The taverns on either side of the road echoed with the smell of roasting meat and the sound of merry laughter.

『You can tell who looks good by looking through me, can't you? Look, over there is a fox-beast woman in chain mail. That's a sorceress. If you eat her, she will be very tasty. In addition, she has a strong female scent between her legs. She must be on heat from fighting. If you talk to her and seduce her, you might be able to have sex with her.』

 As the glasses told him, Kian looked at the fox-beast woman chatting with several adventurers at the entrance of the tavern on his right.

 She had rich, fox-colored hair and large ears.

 Her eyes were slite and pale, and her lips were thick and pouty.

 Her breasts were huge, and her ass was firm.

 From the amount of hair she had on her body, both her body odor and pubic hair looked thick, and she looked like she could give a good blowjob.

 She looks like she could give him some pretty crude sex - It was precisely because she was not beautiful that something was intriguing about her.

「...... She's not bad. Rather good. But I reject it for two reasons.」

『Tell me.』

 Kian carelessly snatched a shirt from a clothing store that was closing down with his left hand.

 It was a handiwork that drew on his abilities as a scout.

 Moreover, Kian's brain was now so sharp and sensitive to his surroundings - so to speak, he was in top form - that even the most experienced adventurers would not be able to notice him.

 Kian walked quickly through the streets, quickly picking up a pair of bottoms at the next clothing store and a pair of good-quality leather shoes at the next shoe store.

「There are ways to ask a woman out. Not with the way I look now. I need to get dressed - shave and do my hair. What, the night is long.」

 Kian's mouth quirked up as he gathered up his stolen goods.

『By the way, you look like a hobo. So, what's the other reason?』

「I have no money now, and I'm about to run out of lodging. So I need a permanent place to stay for free.」

『Hohou? That's efficient.』

 He slows down his walking speed.

 After passing through a series of clothing stores, more taverns were ahead.

 Kian shook his head slowly from side to side as he surveyed the inside of the store.

 Inside the lighted tavern, the girls in their serving clothes worked hurriedly, weaving in and out of the adventurers.

 He watches each of them like a snake watching its prey, and makes his selections.

「『The Pig's Foot Pavilion』, 『The Inn of the Silver Wolf』, and 『The Ark's Resting Place』 - one of these three.」

 When he had finished his selection, Kian hurried back to the inn where he was staying.

 He was going to get himself ready and sexually eat one of the innocent, unknowing sign girls.
