Madman in a Fantasy World

8. Acupressure slippers are good for health

Golden Goblin.

In the game, it looks exactly like a goblin, but it is a monster with a golden body, wearing a golden crown and carrying a bag.

It’s weak, but it’s so weak, but like a monster that spills money, the difficulty you encounter is picking stars from the sky.

I just found out that such a golden goblin exists.

I looked down not at the man in front of me… but at the golden goblin.

I don’t know how much I have, but I didn’t think it was less than me.

But, thinking about it.

‘Isn’t there any reason for me to save him for money?’

He jumped first and I won.

“Can’t we just kill and take it?”

When I looked at the man with that thought in mind, I saw that he was trembling.

‘Why is everyone like this?’

Is the child trembling just because he was hit with a punch?

Like the goblins earlier, I didn’t do anything, but I’m afraid for nothing.

Hmm…

As I was thinking about what to do, a light bulb went on in my head.

“Ah! Would you like to play a game with me?”

“Crab, game?”

“Okay. If you win, I’ll let you live. If you lose, you die. Wouldn’t it be better to do something than just die?”

“I don’t know what it is, but I’ll do it!”

“What to do?”

“I’ll do it!”

You can think that the horse is a game, but it is actually for the sake of his health.

“Okay, then take off your shoes.”

At my command, the man threw off his shoes without hesitation.

“I have something to prepare before the game, so stay calm.”

I took a caltrop out of my inventory.

Then, he took off his shoes and kindly placed them on the soles of his feet, one by one.

“Quaaagh!!!”

“Uh huh. Shh. It’s good for your body.”

On Earth, acupuncture sticks all over the body for health, needles are inserted in the buttocks to prevent disease, and slippers with uneven floors are worn, but it’s hard to live with this much.

-Hook.

“aaa!!!”

-Hook.

“Aww!!!”

It didn’t bloom much because of the size of the caltrops, but it looked plausible when I put about 10 caltrops on the soles of its feet.

“He said he would save me!!!”

“I didn’t kill you, so why do you say you killed me?”

Funny kid, this.

If anyone saw it, I would have thought it had been stabbed in the throat with a knife.

“Okay. It’s over. Now wake up.”

“Muh, what? Wake up like this?”

“You have to wake up to play the game or not.”

“Ugh… Please explain what kind of game it is before you wake up.”

“You keep getting shorter.”

“···Please.”

He’s already decided to do it, but he’s talking so much.

just do what you’re told to do

Do you not understand your position?

“Time is running out, so should I just kill it…”

Talking to myself like that, I jumped up as if he had even heard it.

The sound of biting teeth was a bonus.

“Keuugh…!”

“Look at that. You can do it.”

In the military, uh! There was nothing wrong with it! I even cut a mountain with one shovel!

Of course I was in the public interest.

“Acupressure slippers are good for your health. They take care of your health, but even if you don’t thank me, if you look at them with those eyes, they will be used.”

“·······.”

He looked at me like I was crazy.

What are you going to do, you said you would do it.

“Then I’ll tell you the contents of the game. If you take ten steps in that state, I’ll save you.”

“Hey, ten steps?”

“If you don’t like it, just go after it.”

“···I’ll do it.”

A man whose legs are shaking as if it is difficult to stand.

Soon after, he took a brave step forward.

“Huh… ahh…!!”

One step frowns arrogance.

And blood flowed from the soles of his feet, which had been pierced by caltrops.

I clapped for that look.

The saying that a red carpet is rolled out every time you walk is used for this.

“one.”

Still, since it’s a game, you have to be sure to count.

Let’s count the numbers. A man who mustered up his courage and took a step forward.

Two became three, three became four, and gradually increased one by one until it reached ten.

“Huhhhhh”

By the end, the groans were almost sobs.

Take care of your health and life with ten steps of acupressure slippers for free.

Isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?

Why are you so sad?

I don’t understand.

Anyway, since I won the game, I’ll let you go now and I’ll go on my way.

“Since you won, I’ll let you live. Instead, don’t get caught in my eyes next time, because if I do, I’ll really kill you then. Okay?”

– Nod nod nod.

A guy shaking his head enthusiastically.

He crouched down, gasped, and pulled out the caltrops, and after removing them all, he started running on tiptoe.

‘I’m going to run well like that, but I’m going to have a good time.’

Alright then now

I watched the man getting farther and farther away and ran to him in a gasp.

The guy who was running away might have heard my sprinting footsteps, and he glanced back and met my eyes.

“Here’s Luke~”

He smiled at me, the fear in his eyes.

The gaze looked back and started to run faster than before.

There was no way she could escape from me with the soles of her feet full of holes.

The man who eventually caught up with me.

The guy who ran hard eventually fell over at the end.

“Sah, they say they’ll save you!! I won!! I won, so why do you follow me!!”

“Hello. Did you meet again? What did you say if I get noticed next time?”

“You crazy bastard!! You’re following me!!”

“What are you talking about? Gravity only pulled me.”

“What bullshit!!”

oh it’s noisy

Honestly, there’s no reason for me to save him, right?

If you let these kids run away, they’ll come back stronger later, or tell your juniors that your information will leak out.

I don’t have a hogu personality like the main character, but I don’t leave any germs of annoyance.

“Oh I don’t know~”

“What is that-…”

The guy’s words didn’t carry on to the end.

Because his neck was sprawled on the ground.

Suddenly, the body falls forward.

[ Level Up! Check your status! ]

“?”

I had doubts about the sudden level up.

As I thought about the status in my head, an information window that I had seen in a few hours appeared in front of my eyes.

[ Information ]

Name: Luke

Gender: Male

Age: 20

Grade: None

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Mana: 0 / 0

Level: 16

[ skill ]

Inventory (F)

[ Abilities ]

Strength: 15

Agility: 10

Intelligence: 0

Stamina: 10

Stat Points: 1

I checked it out because I wanted to go, but I really leveled up.

“Wow, you level up even if you kill people?”

I thought that if I found a guild of darkness and massacred it, it would be a waste of time.

I killed two people, but seeing that it was level 1, the efficiency is atrocious.

It’s more efficient to just pick a monster at that time.

I put the status window aside and rummaged through the corpse’s pockets.

“Oh sweet.”

Exactly two items emerged from the corpse.

One was a pocket containing the money the deceased had been talking about while alive.

One was an unknown key.

“I thought it was sweet, but it’s not too sweet.”

The money bag contained two silver coins.

I immediately put it in my money bag and put it in my inventory, and since I didn’t know where to use the key, I only had it for now.

And since this wasn’t enough, I put the sword the corpse was wearing into my inventory.

Wouldn’t it be possible to earn a few more pennies later by going to a blacksmith’s shop or general store?

Now that I’ve shaved off everything, I’m back to square one.

“···there.”

When I returned to the wagon and robbed the first corpse, I turned my head when I heard a sound behind me.

Behind me stood a woman with blue hair and silver eyes, handcuffed and shackled.

‘Beast man!’

What I cannot see even if I die on Earth is standing in front of my eyes!

With ears and a tail that matched the color of his hair, he was a beast by all accounts.

Besides, it’s a beauty, so today I admire the world’s average.

“Thank you for saving me.”

I wasn’t really trying to save it.

Come to think of it, I heard a scream and came here.

I forgot the purpose of coming here to rob the Unlucky Golden Goblin.

“Ah yes.”

I saved you, so you’ll know where to go.

I’ll have to rob the corpse.

“Hey… didn’t those men have keys by any chance?”

what did you know

“There was, but why?”

“Because that’s the key to the handcuffs and shackles we’re wearing…”

Ah, what the heck… I thought it was a key to a box I hid somewhere.

I feel good.

I took out the key I had put in my pocket.

“Here you go.”

“…That, our hands are tied.”

What do you wish for so much? you can do it orally

With no choice but to release the handcuffs and shackles, only the woman in front of him with the key.

When the handcuffs and shackles fell to the ground, she recovered her hands and feet and happily jumped in place a few times.

“Do the rest yourself.”

After handing over the key, she began to free the rest of the women.

‘Now I see it, it wasn’t self-defense, it was true education.’

Just looking at it, it seems that there are beasts and humans mixed together as slaves.

As far as I know, slavery is forbidden in this worldview, but there are bastards who absolutely refuse to do so.

If the law makes it impossible, they find a blind spot in the law and break it somehow.

I think he was a criminal anyway, but after killing him, there was no need for self-defence.

Right after all the women were freed from bondage, they came up to me and thanked me.

“Thank you for saving me.”

“Ah, yes.”

He answered roughly, and now he must have robbed all the corpses, just as he was about to return to the empire.

“excuse me.”

“Yes?”

“Do you know where the road to the Empire is?”

It dawned on me that I was lost.
