Arigato to everyone that has read this novel written by an idiot that simps for fictional characters rather than properly doing things.☻

Again, Thanks.

Simon looked at the situation in front of him. He was really speechless. Had somebody cursed him? Was the devil playing with him?

It made no sense. He was reminded of how the Japanese protagonists were naive and simps. He cursed in his mind.

'Darn it. I should have returned earlier. This damn luck of mine. Do they think I am a typical Japanese protagonist?'

'If they really think that, They are wrong. I don't simp for anyone. I am not a Simp.'

Simon sighed at last as he remembered what had led to this unfortunate situation.

*Hours Earlier*

Simon, Cale, and co had arrived at the puzzle city. Cale told Simon that his goal here was to get another ancient power. 'The Vitality of Heart' was the power Cale needed.

The Vitality of Heart was a power left by a man that regretted abandoning his friends. He had run away from the battle, abandoning his friends to fight. He was a coward.

So For the rest of his life, Vitality hid in a cave. He built a rock tower but he never broke that tower.

Vitality could easily knock off the stones, but his regret stayed in his heart. His friends never came back to life. He had destroyed the arranged rocks many times.

But, In reality, He could never break that Rock tower. He was filled with regret that he couldn't break the tower.

That was how Vitality lived for a long time. His lifespan was longer than normal humans, He couldn't commit suicide.

Cale would get that Ancient Power. Before, Cale and Simon stuck together for most of the time. However, This time Cale had Choi Han and the dragon following him.

Cale would be absolutely fine even if the 'Arm' bastards attacked. Although still a baby, Cale had a literal dragon by his side.

With such conditions, Cale and Simon decided to split up. Cale would go get the Ancient power and Simon... would do whatever he wants.

Cale wasn't Simon's dad or guardian. Simon was his equal. So, Cale had no authority over Simon. He knew that Simon wasn't an immature brat that would cause trouble.

Thus, Cale went with the dragon and Choi Han. On the other hand, Simon went on a small adventure around the puzzle city.

Simon didn't want to use his powers in front of the others. So, practicing was not an option. With nothing to do, He chose to walk around.

He knew that things were slightly different from the Novel. Keyword 'Slightly'. Most of the things were the same.

The enemies were just stronger and more. The other things were basically the same as it was in the novel.

That was why Simon decided to stroll around the puzzle city.

Simon walked and walked. The place was really similar to the Henituse territory. Most of the shops, buildings, and houses were the same.

Even the food was basically the same. The culture in most of the northeast seems to be pretty similar.

After a few minutes, Simon got bored. There was nothing new for him to do here. Thus, Simon decided to see the most unique stuff in this place.

Rocks. Yes, Rocks. Rock towers to be more specific.

'Daaaaaammmmmn, How are the rocks this smooth? Are these rocks even natural rocks? They look like they have been carved or sculpted into existence. Wait, Are rocks even supposed to be this smooth?'

Simon was staring at the rock towers in front of every house. Although some of them were rough. Most of the rocks had smooth outlines.

However, As Simon was thinking of stones. The locals were having some really weird and exaggerated thoughts.

To the locals, Simon seemed to be looking at their houses. So, A stranger staring at your house isn't a good experience.

Many tourists came to watch the rock towers, but nobody stared at them for a long time. I mean they were rocks.

What would anybody expect from them? You could find these rocks anywhere. After hearing the story, All the tourists would exclaim and show interest in the history.

Nobody stared at the rocks.

Simon was from Earth so the rocks here were unique to him, but for the people of this world, these were just rocks.

If Simon wasn't wearing the expensive-looking clothes, They would have beaten him up. The locals considered Simon a creep. However, from Simon's clothes, they figured out that he was rich.

So, Simon was a rich creep. There was a huge difference between them. The locals couldn't afford to mess with a rich guy.

Simon was just staring at their houses. That was bearable. That's why they didn't do anything.

As the locals were theorizing all kinds of stuff. Simon had other thoughts.

'I can use these rocks to fight. If can write 'harder' on them and use the rocks to smash others. It can also be thrown. With enough force...'

'Yikes, that's disgusting.'

Simon frowned at the thought of him smashing somebody's head open. It would be so disgusting that Simon promised himself to never use that tactic.

But, Simon still picked up a stone and started inspecting it. Looking at the stone from the middle of the ground was weird.

Simon was busy with his own thoughts. He did notice the locals staring at him. But he brushed it off with a

'I am too handsome for them to handle.'

Simon was looking for a stone that can be used in an emergency. He wouldn't use it to smash the head open of others. But the stones also have many uses.

Simon thought that this stone could save him from many situations.

However, Seeing a guy picking up a stone from the side of the road and stare at it was not a thing the locals wanted to see. They were sure that Simon was a weird creep.

Simon looked for a stone that was small and suitable to carry. He thought that this was enough for him.

Now, Simon needed to return. But, looking around Simon realized that he was lost. He sighed and walked towards the nearest person.

As Simon walked closer to the girl, The girl clenched her fists. She was ready to punch this creep if he came near. Even with that thought, She kept a normal expression.

The girl couldn't afford to offend a rich guy. But if Simon did anything weird to her, She would get the help of her neighbors and the Knights.

Simon saw that the girl was clenching her fists. He was doubtful at first.

'Why is she clenching her fist?'

Simon gave it a thought and concluded.

'She must be excited to talk with such a handsome person like me.'

Of course, Simon had no thought of falling in love or anything.

'Well Sometimes being this handsome is also a problem, I guess'

Simon walked towards the girl as he opened his mouth.

"Ah, Miss. I am lo-"

And Oh Dear, God must have hated him because he tripped right in front of her. He had put the stone in his pocket.

Simon started to fall. He needed something to support himself from falling. He instinctually reached his hands out.

But, instantly retracted his hands. Simon fell to the ground. He managed to prevent his face from eating soil by using his hands.

Why had he retracted his hands?

It's good that you ask. Simon was someone who thought that falling one time is a lot better than creating a cliche situation where he would be named a creep and a pervert.

*Present*

Simon got up after he quickly had a short flashback. He quickly walked to another person and asked the way back. The man was shocked by what just happened. But, Still answered.

Hearing the man, Simon quickly walked away. Pretending like that he never tripped. Leaving everybody shocked.

He had written that part out of his memories. Those moments would never be remembered by him.

Anyway, let me clear one thing up. Simon will never call himself a Simp. Not even for Cale. It's similar to how we call Cale a tsundere when it was never official.

We readers call him that. Similar to Simon. Both of them will never call themselves Simp or a Tsundere in my novel. Of course, we are free to call them Simp and a tsundere because they are a Simp and a tsundere.
