"You what your what?"
I spoke out as Titania said sothing weird. God, this headache was killing .
Instead of answering, Titania fluttered toward the gates of the guild. I squinted my eyes and watched as the door of the normal guild house opened up.
A dozen gasps rang out at once. It would have been calls for drinks if this was that other building. I had left it in the first place to get away from those monstrous alcoholics.
Argh, those gasps made feel like I'd puke.
Two shadows fell on the ground as the light of the sun peered in.
From beyond the door, a tiny being flew into the building with great haste.
"Ophelia!!"
"Aunt Titania!!"
I was left blinking as the two fairies started embracing mid-air.
What in the world? Aunt?
I pushed my body off the table and tried to walk over to the door. My throat burnt and my stomach rumbled as I walked, I could feel sothing rising up my throat.
"Heh?" A strange voice said from behind the door. "Aunt? Did you say, aunt?"
Steps rang out.
And the two people beyond the door ca inside the building.
A woman and a man, both seed to be taller than . The woman's red dress perked up against the ground while the man wore a ssy cloak around his shoulders, his eyes stuck on the two fairies.
The pain in my head continued, but I wasn't away from thought. This man could be another person to have summoned a fairy and that fairy was Titania's niece? I guess?
Right then, the man's eyes fell on .
He froze in place before taking a wide step ahead.
"Eugene!" he scread.
A dozen more gasps rang out as people watched the man in surprise. He rushed over to and grabbed by the shoulders.
He started shaking lightly.
Fuck.
"Eugene! What are you doing here—"
My stomach.
"Who in the world are you—AACK!"
My head fell forward on the man's chest and the dam around my neck broke as I ended up puking all over his cloak. The vomit stread out like a geyser as I held him for support.
"Ahh! Let go! Let go!!"
"Uwaack!"
He managed to break free from my grip as I leaned forward and took in a few deep breaths. I pulled out a napkin from my spatial dinsion and wiped my face.
"Hah... That feels much better now."
The dozens of Empire Adventurers that were gasping before were left with open mouths, but I didn't care. With a snap of my finger, an orb of water cleaned up the floor of the guild while another washed up my face.
Sighing, I turned toward the cloaked man who was staring at his clothes and the woman in a red dress next to him. The woman took a few steps away and started laughing uncontrollably at the situation.
"Right," I said, turning back to the man. "Who are you again?"
"W-who!?"
"Did he just ask 'that' person's identity?"
"Who is this nutcase?"
The man turned to and spoke in a raspy voice. "Y-you forgot already? I thought we were friends, Eugene."
"No seriously, who are you?"
"HAHAHA!" The woman laughing held her sides. "This kid is a riot! Hey boy, what's your na."
"Hah?" I turned to the woman now. "Isn't it obvious to introduce yourself first?"
"Right right!" The woman clapped her hands. She then raised the hem of her dress and perford a noble's greeting. "I am known as the Death Queen, it is my pleasure."
On instinct, I ended up performing a similar formal greeting. "It is an honor. I am called Dusk."
"Haah!"
"Oh my god! He's that crazy guy number one in the rankings?!"
"The one who sold a baron to a BDSM club because he didn't get paid?"
"Oh! I've heard a lot about you!" the woman said with a smile. She then pointed at her companion. "This person here is called Kaiser, though it seems you guys know each other."
Kaiser?
That Kaiser?
"Hoh!" I scoffed. "So you're the fucker," I said, turning to the man who had almost cleaned off the cloak completely.
This bastard.
He was the reason I couldn't use the na I had used as Yujin!
My lips curled up and my fists clenched down. Mana and Ki started flooding out of my core and Dantian as they curled around my fists.
Kaiser, this na was famous for another reason.
The strongest Mythril Ranked adventurer in history. The man hailed as the living god of adventurers.
The Mana and Ki combined around my fists and ford a black glow. For a brief second, the building shook.
Faster than most trained people could see, my stance changed and my fists shot outward at Kaiser.
—BOOOM!
A thundering crash resounded in the building, making the tables and windows tremble.
"Woah? What's the big idea!?"
With a single finger, Kaiser stopped my punch.
No matter how much I focused, I couldn't find a trace of him using anything other than his physical capabilities. No mana, no Ki, no any other kind of energy.
"Don't tell , you've truly forgotten! Even though I was who pushed you into becoming an adventurer—"
Before I realized it, I was laughing.
This strength. The ability to hold down with a single finger.
How long would it take for to reach sothing like that?
It didn't matter.
A specin was right in front of , and I was going to reach it.
Still laughing, I stretched my palm out.
A bastard who stole my na. A man hailed as the god of adventurers. Before all of those, this person was my first good friend in this world.
"I rember well, Kai."
"Hah," Kai, no, Kaiser smirked and grabbed my hand in a tight grip.
"Good to see you again, Eugene," Kaiser said. "What do you think, about the life of my people? About the life of an adventurer?"
I smiled again.
"Uwaak—!"
"AHHH! DON'T PUKE ON EE!"
