Become A Human In Another World
ACT 5: THE EPILOGUE
The sand of light that flew away was like returning Liu Xiu to reality, when Kei disappeared from before him.
Liu Xiu bowed for a moment, honoring Kei's departure.
He knew, even if it looked like that, Kei was actually quite considerate of others. And he also paid little attention to Liu Xiu more than he knew.
Like making this Dungeon for her, sealing her abilities, Liu Xiu knew it all for Liu Xiu himself.
"Thank you for everything, Kei. I wish I could meet you again, and give you a few words. And if I could, I'd like to hit that arrogant face of yours just once." whispered Liu Xiu as he slightly clenched his hands.
As he had expected, he could not really forgive Kei who was slightly toying with him earlier.
Slightly taking a breath, Liu Xiu turned his body face to face the seal that was in front of his eyes.
"This is the seal, is it?" liu Xiu asked softly as he pointed his hand towards the seal, intending to enter the Dungeon that Kei had said earlier.
But having not had the time to touch her, Liu Xiu held back.
He thought again, why did he enter that Dungeon.
Why would he want his former strength back? Why would he want to gain more abilities? He asked, didn't he throw away that power because he considered it dangerous?
And Liu Xiu didn't want people around him to be affected by that excessive force.
Then, why did he get all that power, if it all ended the same?
The question that popped up in Liu Xiu made him stop moving his hands, and bowed down.
"I even stopped in the middle of the road, how cowardly I am." whispered Liu Xiu softly.
His heart was now worried as to whether he should enter that Dungeon or not.
("Why? Why am I asking myself why? That's obvious, isn't it? If only with my current strength, I wouldn't be able to deal with people who are much stronger, would I?") liu Xiu asked in his heart.
"If it was just like this, I would not be as strong as an Adventurer Rank-S. As I know, the enemies out there are many times more powerful." whispered Liu Xiu.
Perhaps if someone else had heard Liu Xiu's whisper just now, that person would have gotten angry and slapped Liu Xiu's mouth as hard as possible.
The reason is, the Rank-S Adventurer is really respected by people, even the country itself.
There were many Rank-S Adventurers who were awarded awards, ranks, and territories by his country after performing some pretty incredible sounding crackdowns, such as defeating dragons, or some others.
In other words, Adventurer Rank-S is a dream for some people.
And now, Liu Xiu said such a thing with his ease, lucky that no one heard him say it.
But anyway, he was really confused. Don't know what he's gonna do.
But...
"Gee! I've come a long way here, and some luck also makes me walk further. If I don't step forward here, then there's no point in me having some pain just now" Liu Xiu said firmly.
He recalled how much his headache was when the [Tabu] skill made itself have to crash into the cage so that he could faint rather than endure his pain.
"Ugh, just thinking about it makes me shudder" Liu Xiu said slightly.
Liu Xiu took a deep breath, trying to convince himself.
He remembered, how Luna fought against the Devils. It was truly a thin victory for Liu Xiu. And Liu Xiu also knew, the result would be the same for himself if it went against the two Devils themselves.
Although Liu Xiu could open the fourth barrier, it could not be done forever.
After defeating them Liu Xiu would not be able to move any longer. And those are just two demons.
Liu Xiu could not imagine, when the war against the Demon Lord would arrive. Back then, he had to fight dozens of Demons, for sure. And if that happened, Liu Xiu did not know what he should do.
He found a way, that is by learning life energy with Jian Koo. But according to Liu Xiu, it was not enough.
So getting her former strength, plus the abilities she now had, she could at least be one step more certain.
After considering all that, Liu Xiu nodded. Apparently, he has decided.
"Yah!!" shouted Liu Xiu confidently.
That way, he aimed his right hand, which he had dropped when he hesitated. But now, there was no longer any doubt seen in his hands. Rather, a sense of confidence in Liu Xiu's decision was now emanating in his eyes.
He knows, now his partner is growing. And they're getting stronger too. Liu Xiu did not want to be left out of all of them.
And with that confidence, Liu Xiu touched the pillar that was the seal, while closing his eyes.
"May this be the right choice." whispered Liu Xiu quietly. In his mind flashed some things about his seven friends who were with Yuan Yi, Lia who was trying to wake him up, and of course, his family who was still in the city of Furyuun.
"After coming from here, I will send them a letter" Liu Xiu said with a smile.
Suddenly a light appeared for a moment when Liu Xiu touched the pillar. Immediately, the light enveloped Liu Xiu's entire body. But, Liu Xiu was unaware of that, as he still continued to close his eyes.
And a few seconds later, a small explosion occurred, and Liu Xiu fell down, like a lifeless body, lying unconscious.

Back to Yuan Yi and the others who were still following Liu Xiu....
"Huff. It's almost night, for today. But this trail continues. I don't know how far Liu Xiu was taken by this fellow" Yuan Yi said softly.
"You're right, and you're right. I'm sure we've all come a long way, and haven't found any sign of life. And also, it's almost night time, we better set up camp here." said Alpha.
Immediately, all stopped, and took out the goods. Naturally, someone with the [Inventory] skill made this journey easier.
Alpha, Beta, Yuan Yi and together build a tent, while Cilia, Ghea, and Eina search for some groceries to make dinner. Not to forget, Fischia and Dain scattered to watch the surrounding area.
They do that very regularly. People who see them will know that they are not people who have just worked together.
After their tents stood up, Cilia, Ghea, and Eina had also prepared some ingredients for their food.
"Hey, Cilia. What are you going to cook today?" beta asked while looking at the ingredients Cilia had prepared.
"Oh, Beta! Here here! I found some mushrooms, and also some fruits. For today's meal, I'll cook the soup. And fruit for dessert!!" cilia said cheerfully.
Beta looked at Cilia with a smile, understanding Cilia's intentions.
Soup was the food Liu Xiu often made, and it usually added to everyone's spirits. Therefore, Cilia quietly studied with Liu Xiu, to be able to become their cook.
"Hummmmd. It seems a little difficult, are you sure you can make it?" ask Beta.
"Hu hu hu! This way, I understand a few things about food, you know! And also, I'm sure about my cooking!" cilia shouted while giving a happy hand.
Looking at the so excited Cilia, Beta simply nodded with a small laugh, leaving Cilia with the food at hand.
He led to Alpha, Yuan Yi, Eina and Ghea who were sitting together, making a fire.
With magic, everything becomes easier. Like Yuan Yi who could slightly use earth magic, strengthening their tent. Not only that, Alpha can also make water and fire with his magic, making them unnecessarily difficult to find water or make fire.
"As the name suggests, it's magic, isn't it?" I asked slowly, looking around.
He realized, after his family fell and he became a slave, there was no sight that could make him smile like when he was with his family. And now, seeing everything working together, and telling stories and laughing makes her feel warm.
"It doesn't seem wrong that I reincarnated" said Beta, walking closer to the others.
