When I bent my index finger, only the middle finger remained.

Despite knowing that it was a common curse among humans, Laika had to suppress her anger.

�A man who has failed is because he could not abandon his family.�When his wife fell, he lifted him up, and when his child fell, he carried him on his back and ran.�Eventually, the gates of hell were closed.�

Rufist sneered.

�On the other hand, a successful man didn�t take care of anyone.�Whether his wife fell into the fire, his parents cried out in pain, or his children shed tears of blood, he could only run and run and finally get out of Hell before it closed.�

Rufist opened his arms and asked.

�Isn�t it strange?�

�����What do you want to say?�

�You know, this is a metaphor.�A metaphor for the system of human society.�The more responsibilities you have, the less competitive you are.�Even so, they give up competition and choose responsibility.�Those �normal� people you mentioned.�

It was too young to live in Rufist�s eyes.

�Most of the people who heard this story had the same reaction.�Pity the men who fail and criticize the men who succeed.�So few people ask this question.�Why did a successful man have to run and leave the people he loves most in hell?�

Lufist raised his index finger.

�Because it is efficient.�The moment you take responsibility for someone, everyone dies.�Then what about the spirit of the man who abandoned his family and ran?�Can he really be called sane?�

Rufist shook his head.

�Absolutely not.�Obsession with success, madness.�I call this mind murder.�Whether you have no guilt innately or suppress it with the power of reason, victory or defeat depends on how many precious people you can kill with your heart.�And now the upper echelons of the human system are teeming with such madmen.�How do you feel about humans being a weak species?�

Luffist�s smiling face turned cold.

�The opponent standing in front of you right now is a human beyond the normal category.�Everyone who has entered Radum and carried out their missions is an extremely brutal mind-killer.�Only those who had to kill the people they loved the most to become wizards, to spread the will of good, and to reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship remain.�Kill, kill, kill, keep killing and going up.�

Killing your friends, family, and even yourself, the only thing you get is����.

the real me

�Don�t think you�ll be the same as the good people you sucked blood from.�No one is normal here.�The top of the world is swarming with madmen who will do anything to achieve their ends.�It�s not a system that lowly races like vampires dare step into.�

�Keeeeeeeeeee!�

Laika screamed and ran.

Although his soul was not even half recovered yet, he could not control his anger at the trampling of his tribal pride.

�Jane����.�

Rufist poured out the remaining words without hesitation, but Rufist was not relieved.

The reason why a genius magician of the mental type met his death in the den of subhumans was probably because he had to take responsibility for someone.

�You should have killed him.�You should have lived.�

Perhaps Jane wanted to find a better life free from the guilt of murder.

Steel Magic � Diamond Water.

The steel formed over Rufist�s shoulder and transformed into the arms of a huge beast, crushing Laika. JrNovels.com
