Himmel opened his eyes when the rays of the sun hit his face. He looked around and saw the corpses of the goblins he had sin in the previous fight. He remembered the system rewarding him when he was losing sciousness, so he opened his status.

  When he saw this, he was stunned. He had leveled up and also gained skills. Reading the description of the stitution, he realized it would be helpful for learning magic.

  "So, I'm still at Begiier, huh?" Himmel muttered as he g his unged tier.

  "...."

  "Ah, let's first get something to eat," Himmel sighed as he heard the sound of his stomach. He opened his iory, took out a grilled meat he had bought before leaving, and shoved it into his mouth. While chewing, he noticed his body was stained with blood and sighed again.

  "I really o learn sing magic ASAP," Himmel said, remembering the trouble he had with undry. In his previous life, he was just an ordinary man who relied on maes for undry and never did it himself.

  Of course, many people did undry manually, but mages and adventurers often used sing magice they frequently got dirty from battles. Among the old Himmel's party, only Frieren aer khe spell and would always cast it when needed.

  "It's ve and useful."

  Himmel searched for water and finally found a waterfall. He removed his clothes and stepped into the water.

  ---

  After half an hour, Himmel was now . He stored his dirty clothes in his iory and ged into a spare outfit. He also put on the elven robe the king had given him. He strapped his sword to his waist, leaving his staff ihe iory—it was too eye-catg and another burden to carry.

  He tinued his journey, now with a clear mind and goals. The system had given him a major quest, and he k wasn’t just about getting strohere would be more threats and assassins.

  He needed information about Sigil and had to get stronger. He vowed that he would destroy these damn sigils that had disrupted his life.

  ---

  Meanwhile, a few kilometers ahead of Himmel, a girl was running down the same path he was traveling. She wasn't heading toward him iionally—it was just the only road. Behind her, a horde of goblins pursued.

  "Kreek. Caught her, our lord will be pleased tonight."

  "Kreek. I know, so shut up."

  They were chattering among themselves. The girl, dressed in ordinary clothes and holding a staff, raised it and cast spells toward the goblins. However, the spells were weak due to her ana and time to prepare a stronger one. With no other choice, she tinued running.

  Himmel, oher hand, opened his mini-map that the system had given him. Everything around him seemed clear.

  Seeing nothing nearby, he picked up his pace using Superhuman Speed. Although he had ied many of the old Himmel’s skills, he wasn’t the one who had trained for them. He might have Himmel’s memories, but he was still a different person.

  So, adjusting himself to these skills was necessary.

  He ran, gradually increasing his speed. Before he k, he was moving at a pace that the eye could barely track. He was surprised at how easily he prehehe skill—he had only been running and increasing his speed bit by bit. Now, even he couldn’t believe his own speed.

  Ring! Ring! Ring!

  Suddenly, the mini-map rang. Himmel tried to stop himself but couldn't—he ended up accelerating forward before managing to e to a halt.

  "Phew! That was close… What was that?" Himmel sighed and opened his mini-map again. He saw small dots moving toward a blue dot, which was in front of several red dots.

  He quickly uood: the red dots represented monsters, and the blue dot was likely a person in danger.

  "Let’s wait and see first," Himmel muttered, stopping in pce. Sihey were already running in his dire, he wouldn't have to go to them.

  After a while, a girl came into view. She had long blonde hair, twe peaks that jiggled as she ran, and wide hips. Himmel was momentarily stunned, w how she was running with that figure.

  The breathless girl spotted Himmel staring at her and immediately shouted, "Help me!" Her voice was filled with hope.

  Himmel saw the desperate look in her eyes, then g the goblins chasing her. He uhed his sword, disappeared from sight, and reappeared behind the girl. With a single ssh, he cut through the entire horde of goblins.

  All their heads were sliced off.

  Both Himmel and the girl stood there, dumbfounded. Himmel, who had previously struggled against goblins, was now stunned by his own strength.

  "The old Himmel really lived up to his title…" Himmel thought as he sheathed his sword.

  The girl, still in shod relief, suddenly bowed deeply. "Thank you for saving me, Hero!" she shouted at the top of her lungs.

  "It’s okay, please stand up," Himmel said, that she was shorter than him.

  "Thank you," she repeated as she got up.

  "So, what happened? Why are you out here alone?" Himmel asked, gng at the fallen goblins.

  The girl, who had visible injuries, seemed to rex now that she was safe. But as soon as she did, she colpsed. Himmel quickly caught her before she hit the ground.

  ---

  Himmel stopped the girl’s bleeding, removed her tattered clothes, and carefully bandaged her wounds. Afterward, he started a fire, as night roag.

  Ohe fire was set, he lifted the unscious girl from where she had beeing against a tree and pced her closer to the warmth.

  After a while, he g her again.

  "She wouldn’t bme me… would she?" Himmel muttered to himself.

  ---

  Hours ter, the girl woke up. She examined her bandaged body, looked around, and spotted Himmel sitting across from her. She recalled what had happehen suddenly realized her clothes had been removed. Her face turned bright red, and she gred at Himmel in anger.

  Notig her gaze, Himmel spoke first.

  "It was necessary. If I hadn’t dohat, you would have bled out. You wouldn’t be here right now."

  Hearing his expnation, the girl trolled her anger and sighed. "Fihank you," she muttered, looking away in embarrassment.

  "So, what’s your name? And what were you doing here?" Himmel asked.

  The girl pouted and remained silent, refusing to answer.

  Growl~~

  Suddenly, her stomach rumbled.

  Himmel smirked. "I’ll give you food if you tell me what I asked."

  "Hah! You think I’ll fall for that? In your dreams!" she scoffed, looking away again.

  "Fine." Himmel casually pulled out grilled meat from his iory and took a bite in front of her. The sound of him chewing made the girl visibly hungrier.

  "Ugh… Fine! I’ll answer, so keep your word!" she finally relented.

  Himmel smiled and listened as she told her story.

  Her name was Sophia, a mage traveling alone. She had heard about a newly discovered dungeon near a vilge and was heading there, but on the way, she was ambushed by goblins. She had mao kill many of them but eventually ran out of mana, f her to flee toward the vilge.

  Once she finished her story, Himmel hahe food to her , and she ate like a starving kitten.
