Reincarnated into a Skull
Chp 39: Changes in the Outer World

[Day 4, Elysia Calendar, Daylight]

Plumes of smoke filled the sky, black smoke and blazing flames were clearly burning anything, red flames devouring all the buildings in the village.

"What's going on here?" Shinji looked at the village dumbfoundedly.

[It looks like this happened just a few days ago, judging by the fire conditions that are still burning the possibility of this place burning was 3 days ago]

"It seems so...." Shinji agreed too.

Shinji continued to walk down the village, which is visible so far only houses burned down by the fire. All the buildings burned down and became rubble, but surprisingly Shinji did not find a single life in the village.

"Aren't there really people who live here?" Shinji wondered.

"To..please!"

A faint voice rang out in Shinji's ears.

"Sound?" Shinji turned to his left and right side but did not see anyone.

But Shinji's eyes were fixed on the house that had collapsed as a result of the fire. Shinji ran to the house, pulling the rubble from the building after a moment a human hand was seen inside the rubble.

"To..please.me!"

Shinji threw away all the rubble and saw the figure of the girl there. Shinji took the girl away from the place.

"Are you okay?" Shinji asked looking at the child's condition which was filled with burns.

"sick!...To.longs!"

Shinji bought a high level hp potion in the system shop. Shinji unscrewed the potion and drank it into the girl's mouth. As soon as the burns he had sustained healed, all the bruises also disappeared quickly like they had never happened.

The girl opened her eyes, feeling her body improve she opened her mouth "Thank you!" the girl thanked Shinji with the weak dragon.

"It's okay.First you can calm down first, after that you can tell me what happened here" Shinji said with a smile.

The little girl nodded at Shinji's words.

...………...

After a few minutes passed, he started telling me what happened to this village.it all started when the royal knight came to this village. they say to pay state taxes with unreasonable amounts.

The villagers initially did not accept it but because they were the knights of the village kingdom there was nothing to do. the royal knight said that the time allotted to collect all the money was 1 month.of course all the residents were shocked to hear that.

They were only villagers, even for daily food they had to work hard to get it, and the knight requested the tax be paid by a grace period of 1 month. the angry villagers tried to protest but the knights threatened to torture their families if they resisted.

The days they lived and raised money to pay taxes with hard work.they worked harder than usual, planting crops in the fields, hunting monsters as well they did. the villagers continued to make heavy days without being able to think about their own conditions.

As they were about to raise money for taxes, monsters attacked their village.The powerful monsters came out of the forest and into the village, at first the villagers were panicked and frightened, thanks to the adventurers who came from the city finally the village was protected.

Finally the money they collected with sweat and pain disappeared with a flash.

One month passed, the knights came back to the village after giving a one-month grace period to pay the tax. because the money they had collected had been lost the villagers tried to ask for a grace period to pay the tax.

"Please give us some time, we will definitely collect the money" the village chief pleaded with the knights.

"Stay away from me old man" one of the knights kicked the body of the village chief.

"Ugh...." The village chief groaned in pain.

"Village Head!" The villagers shouted to the village chief.

"We have given you enough time, whether the money is lost or not. As long as the grace period is up you must pay it" said one of the knights in an arrogant tone.

"You!..." The villagers stared at the knight with eyes full of anger.

"What's? whatever your gaze is, how dare you stare at a royal knight like that!" One of the knights kicked the body of one of the villagers and stomped on his body nonstop.

"Dead! Die up! Die up! the lowly creature"

At that time a massacre was carried out, for anger made the knights kill the villagers.The knights did the vile deeds of the villagers, tortured them, burned their houses and bodies alive, and killed them, rape young women for their pleasure.

Yep! they were mad the knights went mad, committed indiscriminate slaughter, all their thoughts contained only killing and torturing.all that was because Ernesia had manipulated their memories to always serve him. ernesia is absolute, Ernesia is a goddess from the point of view of the knights.

The villagers did not know that everything was Ernesian, setting unreasonable taxes, making them work hard to pay taxes, unleash monsters in the forest and hire adventurers from the city to protect the villagers after which take the money they collect.

...………...

Shinji who heard the story fell silent.

[They were ruthless, taking advantage of the weak villagers, torturing them mentally and physically.In fact they committed the despicable act of raping young women]

".....Damnit damnit! I know that the world has no laws, but still doing it for pleasure? is he crazy!" Shinji still could not believe how such a human existed.

Shinji's mind was filled with Shinji's strange emotions as he was currently calm. Shinji thinks rationally and sees reality.

"it remains that even though they were able to reincarnate but the deep trauma left their souls shaken" Inner Shinji.

[Judging the words of the little girl there, the royal members must be involved in it. Not only this village, maybe other villages also experience the same thing. and the kingdom that is able to do that is.].

"Arrandalle because this territory is still included in their territory" Saut Shinji.

[That's true...so what will you do? as Mythia said they were a bully existence for the peace of this world, they were able to restore their strength by relying on past memories]

"Sadly, this is troublesome.wouldn't want me to have to get involved in their stupidity.The only way to make this world come back to peace is to destroy the remnants of the past. it also applies to making a peaceful life mine" Shinji's gaze sharp.

And so Shinji indirectly gets involved in the plan of Ernesia. Ernesia who enjoys the pleasure of hers does not realize that a god of death has entered the game.
