Wish 10: Guild

Long ago, there was a rumor that some people...

When they reach the peak of their martial arts training and accomplish body-world unity...

They were experiencing a unique circumstance known as "Zero-birth".

They were gaining unbelievable things as they went through the Zero-birth…

Some of them rebuilt his body so that it was better suited to his skills…

A significant increase in mana was being felt by some of them…

Others got the chance to sign a contract with a great spirit.

Through the Zero-birth, many things could happen to you…

However, there is no doubt that you will gain a lot.

In any of the worlds I have ever lived in, I have never had the opportunity to see it…

except for my first.

I witnessed some people going through that as a result of the stress I put them under as the demon king.

That supports the idea that this world and my first world are similar…

...

I've gone through the Zero-birth!

There are no new skills on my skill list or mana increases…

So my body was rebuilt.

This explains why my clothes are missing…

No, It's torn in front of me.

I left the saint to prepare some food and went to the lake to wash myself…

She said that she is good at cooking.

After getting cleaned up, I turned the lake into an ice mirror using the skill 〔Frost〕.

My body had significantly changed, but I had noticed that it had no effect anytime fake shape…

Actually i can bring back my shape at any time…

I can actually change my shape as well.

No, but I can change the shape of my body as I wish. It's a bit like a slime ball.

That feeling was truly strange…

The ability to change your form is like making a character in a game.

As I don't have the shape of dryads, I look more like humans…

I tried to change my shape to look more like a dryad.

Silver hair…

Two pointed ears…

Blue eyes…

White skin…

Who is this girl?

No, wait I don't have a chest, and my little friend is still there, so...

That is the partner of the dryad, then!

Oh god! They are truly handsome.

They look like Idols on Earth.

Ok, let's stop messing.

I took some clothes from the 〔dimensional cube〕 after returning the medicine god form.

Buying extra clothes was a good idea.

…

I had gone back to where I had left the saint.

It seems that she really has cooking skills, the smell of what she is making looks good.

But the important thing is, What will I do with this girl?

Will I really let her follow me like this?

"You, what are you going to do now?"

"Oh, Mr. Telodeos, you're back.

I want to stay with you until we get to the capital because I think it's the right thing to do."

I didn't know that the idea of being adhesive was good.

Adhesive from the first class!

However, if what that guy said in the dream is correct, then this girl is the applicant.

"Is this what you want?"

"Yes, and once we get to the capital, I won't cause you any trouble."

The saint knelt down and bowed to me.

"And I also apologize for using my skill against you, how else can I explain that... as soon as I saw you, I felt it was necessary to be by your side. Therefore, I used the 〔merciful seduction〕 without knowing.

I'm really sorry."

Then that's how she gained her popularity.

Do I really have to let her follow me ?

This situation reminds me of that girl who wanted to follow a freak martial arts master.

I think that girl achieved her goal.

That girl's name was...?

Was there a girl like that??

No, but which world am I talking about?

Was there even a world like that??

Weird

I feel like I forgot something important.

Let's put this off for now.

"You can follow me to the capital, but once we reach there, everything will be over."

The saint looked at my face

Then she surrendered and agreed to my opinion.

We ate

Then we went ahead to the capital.

There was only one city between us and the capital.

The long journey will then come to an end.

Even though there were some monsters blocking our way…

They were some A-class monsters.

But I didn't play nice with them, I completely destroyed them.

To say the truth... that felt good.

That saint kept obstructing me as she couldn't defend herself against B-class monsters, let alone the higher ones…

I felt like she was doing this intentionally…

Like she's keeping up with my desire to kill monsters.

But to put herself in danger for that…

Am I wrong, or is she sure that I will protect her??

When we got close to the capital, there were no monsters in the way.

And the same thing for bandits.

That proves the extreme security in the capital.

Then the first thing we saw was a very tall tower.

After that, the other buildings started to appear, and we saw the whole capital when we arrived.

It was so bright that it appeared to be a star in the pitch-black night.

When we arrived, the night had come.

And the light was spreading everywhere in the city.

For a world that doesn't know about scientific development and doesn't have scientific electricity, that proves the huge resources spent on it.

Mostly they use the magical sun stones in order to illuminate the night, but it's a bit expensive, which makes the idea of using it all around the capital is unbelievable

…

It took quite a while in the security queue.

But as soon as they realized she was the saint, they let us in without verifying my identity.

That's truly blind trust

"Then here we separate, good bye."

After saying good-bye, I took my leave.

"I wish I could see you again, Mr. Telodios. Virtue blesses you."

She yelled that while vanishing

between the crowds.

Finally, I reached the capital.

The tower won't accept any requests right now, so I'll come tomorrow.

But before that…

I have to sell this monster's magical kernel.

I think the guild will be the best choice.

...

When I arrived at the guild building…

The noise surrounds the place

I got in, and I went to the reception desk.

The guild building is really huge

It's more like a palace than a building.

I thought I would find a beauty on the reception desk as I saw in a novel.

But what I'm seeing in front of me is an old human woman.

Alright

"Welcome to the warriors guild. Do you want to register or upgrade your badge?

Her voice is definitely different for her age.

That's scary!

"I want to register , and I also want to sell some monster kernels."

"Ok, show me your stats card; you can show whatever you want, but at least I have to know your name, age, and job to make a registration."

I don't think there are age restrictions,right? I hope so…

I showed her my stats card and...

That's normal when anyone knows my real age.

Her jaw is about to fall.

"Ah, excuse me, there is no age restriction, but is this your real age?"

Yes, that's the question that I couldn't answer.

It's true for my physical body, but my mental age is much older than that, right?

"Do you doubt the church's honesty?"

The scared look on her face after she realized she doubted the church's honesty was really good.

The stats card is made by the Pope himself once a year.

He receives a hundred thousand newborn baby cases at the same time each year, and he engraves their stats card using the awakening stone.

That's why anyone who falsifies his stats card or even doubts its honesty is gaining the Pope's hatred, who has relations all over the world.

…

After I finished the registration

I got a D-class warrior license.

I was supposed to take an F-class, but my rank was raised due to the kernel I sold to them.

"You're supposed to be B-class at least if you killed these monsters by yourself, but you can't prove that without a test, and you're also 7 years old, so that's a great achievement !"

That's what she said

I will be satisfied with that, I don't want to attract political monsters.

I left the guild, heading to a residential area to find a house.

"Hurry up, the saint has arrived."

what??

She again??
