E-N-D

A month passed flawlessly.

We completed a total of 47 -B- Rank Quests.

Earning us a neat sum of 12000 Judes.

Not only that, but Red Dragon's lease was fulfilled.

The others were going around doing package-delivery quests. Something to finish off the day.

I however, was completely alone, due to the fact that I had done my daily rounds.

I had recently bought some tight and flashy adventurer clothes. My hair had completely surpassed the front of my face now.

I got a haircut.

The next haircut I got, we had all become -A- Rank adventurers.

The next haircut, we had all become -S- Rank adventurers.

Then, I became the strongest adventurer in the world.

With my talent, the ability of invisible telekinesis, no enemy could take me on. It was simply unfair, it had all gone by so fast... With my cheats, there had been no real challenge. It had simply been a smooth journey.

I hated something about that.

But now it was over, I die wrinkled and old. And with the SSS talent indeed.

When the children in the city asked why I could not tell them my power, my answer was simply "

SSS-Rank talent is not merely a blessing—it is a beacon. A beacon that will summon kings and emperors, guildmasters and warlords, all seeking to harness that power for their own ends. To them, I am not a man. I am a weapon. A tool to be seized, controlled, and, if necessary—destroyed.

Do you think they would offer me freedom? No. They would strip me of my will, bind me in chains woven from politics and fear. They would cast aside who I am and mold me into what they desire. A puppet with the might to level kingdoms but no voice of my own.

And those who cannot control me? They would seek to end me. For what kingdom could rest easy knowing an SSS-Rank talent lies beyond their grasp? What ruler would sleep soundly knowing that a power capable of reshaping empires walks freely?

Wars have been fought over less.

I do not seek glory. I do not crave the songs of bards or the cheers of crowds. My path is survival. My strength must remain hidden so that I may walk this world with my head unbowed and my heart unchained.

This is not cowardice. It is wisdom. The SSS-Rank is not a gift to be flaunted—it is a burden to be carried, silently, until the day it is truly needed.

Until the day this power can change fate itself.

So I ask you—not as a warrior, nor as a leader—but as a man desperate to remain free: guard this secret with your life. For my life depends on it. And perhaps, so does yours.."
