I GOT A CHEAT ABILITY IN A DIFFERENT WORLD, AND BECOME EXTRAORDINARY EVEN IN THE REAL WORLD
#V2.Epilog~part 1

"…It was fun…"

The [Head Hunter] who had continued the investigation in the Great Demon Nest after receiving the request, muttered in a small voice. However, that pleasure was about to end, and he planned to no longer have the chance to come to this Great Demon Nest. [T/n: It's been confirmed who the head hunter is, so yes, I changed "he" to "he" now: P]

While he still could not catch the whereabouts of the person who saved Lexia, there was talk of inviting that person to the royal palace. The day of the invitation is finally approaching tomorrow. Nevertheless, he learns the fact that Lexia and the others will come to pick up the mysterious person who saved Lexia at the entrance of this Great Demon Nest.

[Head Hunter] plans to eliminate Lexia and the mysterious person on that day at the request of his client, a noble.

“...Is he okay?”

What came to [Head Hunter]'s mind right now was the image of a young man. The young man who had saved him from death when an elite group of goblins attacked him during his first investigation─Yuuya. He was a mysterious young man with a luxurious atmosphere, and he had a black dog named Night with him.

“Fufu..”.

No matter how many times I remember it, I can't help but laugh. The lie that I made all of a sudden was that I came to this Great Devil's Nest to practice. If I really wanted to practice, I would not suddenly go to a dangerous place like the Great Demon Nest. Because if something happens, I will be directly linked to death. [T/n: POV turns the narrator into Head Hunter.]

Moreover, the Great Demon Nest would not be suitable for training from the very beginning. That was because there were many monsters acting in groups like the goblin elites, who could become a threat with just one of them.

No one was stupid enough to train in a place where there was a horde of monsters that could barely fight a single one. It was difficult to even defeat one of them. It was clear that they would be killed on the spot before they were trained.

That's why when I said such nonsensical words, I couldn't help but hold my mouth back, but now that I have said them, I can't pull them back now. This will make me even more suspicious.

“Eh? Ah, yes.. me too.. it's... practice! I came to this forest to train as well!”

...I don't think that there really are people who choose this Great Demon Nest for training. It made me act strangely suspicious, but since Yuuya never showed it, he might not notice it.

And even though I was on the suspected side earlier, this time it made me also suspect whether Yuuya had actually come to the Great Demon Nest under the guise of 'training'. However, after speaking with Yuuya, when we challenged the Great Demon Nest in the name of joint training... I found out that Yuuya was telling the truth.

After all, he had eliminated a group of elite goblins alone. If I think about it again, if he doesn't have that much power, he won't be able to save me from that situation.

After all, when I found out that Yuuya had actually come to this place to practice, I was able to befriend them little by little from there. Yuuya was a strange man, and although he looked and wore first-class clothes, and behaved like a noble or noble, his knowledge was quite skewed.

In terms of language and manners, he was no different from the upper class people. Still, he did not know much about the Great Demon Nest that he should have chosen as his training ground. Instead, he was unfamiliar with the common sense of this world alone.

However, I still have no problem with that. While I entrusted my life to them, such things became trivial matters.

…I really enjoyed my time with them, even though I had accepted the request.

One thing I did not expect here was the item Yuuya had, the item that made me fall in love with the bath, the portable bathtub. The bathtub was a luxury item that should only be bathed by nobles. In addition to his combat power, I was also surprised by Yuuya's ownership of this thing as a portable item.

…I, who until now spent every day just to wash the blood in the river, found the warmth of the hot water. I was completely captivated by the magic of a warm bath that seemed to melt even the coldest of hearts.

Of course, I didn't just indulge myself in the bathroom. Before I knew it, I could face up to three of the goblin elites, and I thought I had also become quite strong. So I want to continue to be strong with them in the future.

I've killed so many people. That's why I know it. Yuuya is clean. I doubt he ever killed a creature other than a monster. In comparison, I have buried a number of lives to survive. I was born an orphan, and with the strength I fought to protect myself.

Since I am a woman, I have been in danger many times, but I have been through everything intact. And I gained strength so that no one could take anything away from me, and before I knew it... I became a feared being as a [Head Hunter] .

I don't know how to live in this world. Hiding the fact that I am a woman, I only kill targets by force. That's the only way I don't know how to live other than that. Filthy hands. They were stained with countless blood. I can't have a clean Yuuya next to me like that. His hands cannot be dirty.

“However... the man is very charming.”.

He had a purity that made me able to express the emotions of the moment honestly. I had killed my emotions to survive. I felt that I could also bask in the light and live.it was so bright that I was under the illusion that I could do it.

“But... it won't happen again.”

When Yuuya told me that he was going to stop training, I felt very sad and lonely. However, at the same time, I myself somehow felt that the end was near.

The reason, however, was the story that Princess Lexia and the others would go to the Great Demon Nest. It was rumored in the city before I heard from the nobleman who asked for me. How could I, who belonged to the dark guild, not know about it?

And because of that request, I won't be able to stay with Yuuya…

“...What would Yuuya think if he knew the real me?”

I was afraid to know the answer to that question, but I wanted to ask it. But it's not gonna happen again.

“….”

I quietly grabbed my mask and placed it on my face.

I am a murderer — dark guild member, [Head Hunter] .

So──.

“──Goodbye, Yuuya.”

I rushed out of the city towards the Great Demon Nest as if hiding in the darkness. As if to dispel the memories with Yuuya, I just moved without thinking.

Even so, the days that I spent with Yuuya. I have killed others to live. Feelings of wanting or not wanting should not accompany the act of killing. That is one of the honors I have for the people I have killed for a living.

…However, I can only think.

“If... if Yuuya and I meet in a different situation than we do now.”.

If my life is a normal life, it has nothing to do with someone else's blood…

“... Yuuya. Will I be able to stand beside you proudly?”

My mumble was swallowed by the darkness.

...------------------------------------------------...

“Well, night. Can we go?"

"woof!"

After returning safely from the field trip, I decided to take Night and go to the entrance of the Great Demon Nest as promised.

By the way, this is Golden Week starting today, so I can take some time like this, so it's actually a longer holiday. I don't think I'll ever use this weekend's holidays completely, but if I have a lot of time off, I'll be able to finish it before school starts properly. But if it doesn't work, I can use my magic to go home.

I'm more worried about Night now. When I met Lexia-san and the others before, Night wasn't there, but now Night is my family. If possible, I will take it with me. There is no answer to this question here, so I have to ask it directly now.

"Okay, we're leaving!"

The things I prepared were all inside the item box, so I left by wearing only the [Bloody War Demon Series] armor on my body. Normally I would move deep into the forest in the opposite direction, but today towards the entrance to the Great Demon Nest.

I have gone monster hunting with Luna, whom I pretended to train ... but I guess the monsters will be slightly reduced, right? No, I have never been near the entrance during a field trip, so I shouldn't expect much.

“But once again, I was wondering how is Luna?” doing

"…Woof." Hearing my words, Night barked with an indescribable expression.

After advancing for a while, I unexpectedly sensed the presence of monsters.

“Ups... It seems like the number of monsters has not changed much.”

"Woof."

I immediately activated the [Assimilation] skill and approached that presence carefully…

"…What is it…?"

There's a strange monster in there. No, there are a lot of monsters themselves, and they are all bloody ogres. And that unknown monster was a larger body among the bloody ogres, an individual with a darker, reddish-black, and more terrifying overall appearance.

When I activate [Appraisal] on that individual while holding my breath ...

Level: 500

Magic: 4000

Attack: 25000

Defense: 10,000

Agility: 10,000

Intelligence: 3000

Luck: 1000

Huh huh? I didn't expect it to be in the orc king class! In terms of strength and attacking agility, it was even more nimble than an orc king!

...Apparently, this bloody ogre king or something like that was definitely a high-level species of bloody ogre. Even though I plan to meet Lexia-san and the others today, if we don't defeat this monster here...

“...Okay, Night. Let's get them here. And if this monster moves towards Lexia-san and the others, it will be dangerous.

"Woof."

Fortunately, we didn't specify a time, and thanks to the fact that we left home early, I thought we would be fine on time.

“Alright.. I'll give you a signal and you, Night, will take care of an ordinary bloody ogre.

"Woof!"

"Then ... Go!"

“Guruuoooo!”

“Gugaaaa!?”

With my signal, Night charged in with a growl. The sudden attack made the group of slow-blooded ogres to react for a moment, and like that, some of them fell prey to Night's claws. But, the bloody ogre master was different and was not carelessly wary of Night.

However, Night isn't the only one you're facing.

"It exists!"

I had hidden my presence until now with my expertise, and as the bloody ogre ruler focused his attention on Night, I threw the [Absolute Spear] with all my might. This attack could not be prevented even by the orc king, so maybe the bloody ogre king as well…?

“Guoooooooo!”

"What!"

The bloody ogre king caught the end of the [Absolute Spear] that I threw with both hands between his hands! Moreover, he grabbed the handle of the spear and threw it back at me!

“Wah..”

As I hurriedly leapt back from my place, the [Absolute Spear] passed through the place where I was just a moment ago with incredible speed. Fortunately, [Absolute Spear] can only be handled well, so unless there is a guarantee that it will definitely hit me, it will, I don't even have to worry about the bloody ogre master returning it towards me. [Absolute Spear] that the giant bloody master threw me is right back my hand.

However, I did not expect that the sage-san weapon would be thrown back at me. I was very surprised by the unexpected attack. If not for the restrictions that only I could deal with, it would be very troublesome. I quickly stored the [Absolute Spear] in the item box and took out another weapon.

That was…

“Then... how about this one?”

“G-guoooo!?”

I swung the giant hammer, more than my own height, at the bloody ogre king without hesitation. The bloody ogre master extended his hand to catch the attack, but the arm was easily crushed and exploded without being detonated.

[World Strike] .

It was one of the weapons in the sage-san house, and it was a giant hammer as tall as me. that is, over 180 cm. All sage-san weapons are the same, they have no special decorations on them, and if you just look at them, it really is nothing more than a giant wooden hammer.

But the effect is incredible. I myself feel that this hammer weighs almost as much as an adult male, but whoever I hit will be hit with the same mass as the planet, which is the world. There is no way that any creature can survive being hit by the world. Or rather, what kind of weapon did you make, sage-san…?

However, this weapon also had a weakness. As I said before, the point is I feel the same weight as an adult man. With my current status, it is still not enough, it still feels very heavy. That's why it doesn't depend on status in terms of the weight of this hammer, and I actually feel it's as heavy as the adult man in my hand.

Moreover, since this hammer must hit the opponent in order to be effective, this hammer is not suitable for long-range attacks, and no matter how much I swing it, it is not suitable for long-range attacks, it cannot cause great results in terms of damage to the entire environment. Even so, it could still hit one opponent with the same mass as the world, so if I hit him first, it would be the end…

…Well, if it's against an opponent with high agility, it might be difficult to hit them given the weight. This was a weapon that possessed quite a sharp ability in this Great Devil's Nest, allowing for deadly fissures and one-hit assassinations instead of large swings.

Level up

Suddenly, a message appeared announcing level up.

“Wah, it's a good start.”

“──Guk!”

"Hmm? Ooh, Night, you're done too!”

"Guk-guk!"

Night had destroyed the group of bloody ogres alone before I realized it, and there were drop items strewn about. After collecting the bloody ogre lord drop item first, now I collect the bloody ogre lord drop item.

And there were fangs, magic stones, and armor similar to the ones I got from the bloody ogres, so I decided to rate them one by one.

[Big Net Demon Bloody War Commander]: Taring ruler bloody ogre. Superior species of bloody ogres, strong fangs that deserve to be masters. When it came to master, he did not use these fangs to attack many, but his strength was even fiercer than a bloody ogre.

[Magic Stone: Rank S]: Special ores that can be obtained from magical beasts.

[Helm Demon Lord Bloody War Commander]: Item drop from the ruler of the bloody ogre. It is a helmet that resembles the face of a bloody ogre master and gives the chosen target an intimidating effect with the possibility. This probability will increase the higher the difference in ability between the opponent and the target.

Oh, aside from the magic stone, aren't his fangs and helmet good stuff? But unfortunately, I don't have the means to use fangs effectively now. And this [Bloody Warlord Demon's Demon Helmet] is a full-face type helmet that matches the [Bloody War Demon's Series] I am wearing now.

How should I say it, it has two horns sticking out like an ogre, and depending on how you look at it, it might look like a full-thumbed face mask. No, maybe a villain in terms of color and shape? By the way, I don't know what the effect of this bullying is, but it never hurts to wear it. [T/n: for information about sentai, such as Super Sentai, Power Ranger, or Kamen Rider.]

I just put it on and show it to Night.

"Hows it? Does it look good for me?”

"Woof!"

Yeah, that looks good on me. But, well, I don't think it's too good for me because it covers my whole face.

"Okay, let's go to the forest entrance again, shall we?"

"Woof!"

Although there was a bit of fighting after this, no bloody ogre lord class enemies came out, and we were able to reach the entrance safely.
