Happy Reading~

===========

"Thank you, because of you I feel much better." I said, slightly admitting that what this old grandfather said was true.

As a reincarnator, I know this old man's feelings.

Maybe it's true, I feel sad because I was born without talent.

But that doesn't mean I intend to die, I know.

Knowing that life is very important, is far from what I have.

Suddenly, I heard someone calling my name.

"Dad? Sorry grandpa, looks like I have to go." without delay, I decided to leave the place.

If my father really calls me, then I can't keep quiet.

However, I am currently under my father's tutelage.

Of course, as a child, I had no right to refuse what my father ordered.

"Be careful..."

After I disappeared, the old man, he didn't say anything.

Aside, could only sigh to himself.

"Hah... This kid's fate is really bad, I know he's great at swordsmanship. But why?" still, the old man, he had to admit that I was very unlucky.

If I had been born earlier, perhaps this fate would not have befallen me.

But well, what happened can't be changed anymore.

In this world, strength is everything.

People like me, who are without any talent.

Would be considered rubbish, a far cry from what I've ever experienced.

...

"Dad? So strange, I didn't see him anywhere?" I asked, without stopping looking around.

Supposedly, my father, he should be around here.

But why, why can't I find it?

For a moment, a little fear began to creep into my heart.

It felt, like I could smell death.

It's true, what I feared really happened.

Seen, near the bushes, there are several monsters appearing in them.

"Damn... Isn't this the Illusory Beetle?"

Illusory Beetle, is the name of a rare species.

It could be said, that it was very rare for an Illusory Beetle to appear in public.

But still, why did this beetle have to appear at a time like this?

And again, there are dozens of them!

Seriously, wish I had known this earlier.

It would be better if I ran away, rather than staying in this place.

And now, running away was meaningless.

Just look, before I want to run.

The Illusory Beetles, they immediately surrounded me.

As if, they didn't have the slightest intention of letting me escape.

"Ck, is this the end of life?" I muttered softly, intending to accept my fate.

If I die, I won't mind it.

After all, from the start I was not destined to be in this world.

"Stop!" somehow, the old man's voice, once again appeared in my head.

"Eh? Old man? What are you doing?!" I shouted, shocked by what I saw.

Supposedly, it was impossible for this old man to be in a place like this.

But why? Why is he even following me?!

I remember, my father once said that if I met an Illusory Beetle then I should run away.

The reason, was because it was absolutely impossible for an ordinary human to be able to defeat an Illusory Beetle.

They can cast illusions on any creature, no matter what creature it is.

Moreover, by someone like me.

Which, could be said to be the weakest human being.

"Noah, you have to get out of here. Leave the rest to this old man." said the old man, trying to tell me to run away.

Initially, I thought that this old man intended to take me with him.

But it seems, this old man, he took the initiative to use himself as a shield.

It could say, he wanted to sacrifice himself.

This was done so that I could escape, without having to die in vain.

Still, I had absolutely no intention of running away.

Even if I escape, what's the point of me living?

It would be better if I let this old geezer live, rather than me.
