E N Chapter 20
: To train is bring yourself to the brink of death

[Claude POV]

Death

Death

Another Death

Once I reached my 7th birthday, other memories filled my brain.

There, I would always be killed.

I've never once survived against monsters within the dungeon.

No matter how many repetitions I passed, I was killed.

This is the story of my 3rd incarnation, the person that died either eaten alive by the monsters of the dungeon, or by suicide.

My young mind that has just started his training can’t help but be scared by the fearsomeness of the monsters in that dungeon of nightmare.

I am scared.

No matter how impactful my first and how crafty my second incarnations were, every night. For a year, there are 345 deaths, giving me a nightmare.

The untold amount of pain and trauma that reaches me makes me cry every night.

"Claude! What’s happened? "

My father went to my room whenever I had that nightmare, and he would pat me on the back when he saw me shivering on the bed.

I can't say anything because the words are stuck in my throat.

I feel calmer whenever I get that pat on my back, and I've started to sober up from all those nightmares.

However, when the pain of being eaten alive filled me again,

Puke!

Cough!

Puke!

I can’t help but puke all the things inside my stomach.

My father didn’t know what happened to me and asked me a lot of questions, and my mother looked at me with a worried expression.

But the words get stuck.

I don’t know how to tell her that I dreamed of the future where I was trapped in a dungeon, where I would die there.

There’s also the god that can suddenly appear and murder me right away.

Who can help me?

Who can protect me?

Am I alone in this world?

Can my parents even help me against a divine being?

That way of thinking kept me from seeking assistance, leading me down the path of solitude.

Thus, once I turned 8, the nightmare from my 3rd incarnation stopped.

As traumatized as I am, my other incarnation always made me remember to train and do my best to continue and survive the upcoming tragedy that will inflict me.

I can’t stop; it’s not only my life on the line.

The villagers and the kids’ lives were also on the line here. I needed to survive.

I need to deal with everything that will come, and the fact that the monsters of the dungeon’s meat is filled with poison means I need to deal with that somehow.

I don’t know how long I will be trapped there, and the possibility of me surviving there might be minuscule. Even so, I need to prepare for everything that will soon come.

..

"You bastard! Who are you? You dare to obstruct our goods delivery! "

said one of the bandits attempting to pass through the village and cause trouble on the outskirts.

I didn't say anything, but instead took out the dagger I'd forged on the smithy.

With simple footwork, I slit the throat of the bandits.

After all of them were saved, I opened the cage and saw the captured people.

They look so lifeless and their eyes are filled with despair.

From now on, your life was mine. Don’t think of anything but following my order. From now on, trust me and do the order I gave you. "

They ignored me, so I moved closer towards them and punched each one of them in the body until they fought back.

For those who don't, I will continue to pummel them until there’s someone that will protect them. Knowing they will be responsible for the life of someone they protect, the other person will glare at me.

Seeing their eyes that were filled with rage, I took a step back.

The moonlight shines on me, and I can see their surprise when they realize that I’m actually younger than them.

"While you’re despairing about your fate, another person is currently facing the same thing you do, or even worse. This is not the time for you to fall into despair. "

The word was a kid younger than them reverberating in their ears.

I’m not here to save you; I have nothing to do with your life! Everything is in your hand; stand up for yourself! "

"Do me good, and get your life back yourself!"

As I shouted that to them, I turned my back and heard a loud thud.

Looking back, I could see more than half of them on their knees and asked me to train them.

Thus, that is how I received a loyal subordinate for myself.
