Succeeding as a Knight in a Gender-Reversal Game

28 – Ego Sword (3)

What is this!

I wanted to shout, but no voice came out and all I could see was a long group of lights like a movie film.

And in it

-Oh my… How do I do that…

-Now I don’t know what to do with the village… Ah… Tsk tsk…

I was protecting the graves of my parents who died in an accident.

I’m not sure, but my parents disowned their relatives and chose to return to farming at an early age in a small rural village.

I suddenly became an orphan due to a sudden tragedy.

These parents were usually kind and helpful to the village elders.

-Now that there are no young people, where can we find workers? Tsk…

-Arthur, Arthur. Anyway, what is the child like? Is there anyone who can take care of me?

-Wouldn’t you be able to tell if you were a relative or something, seeing as the child was attending mourning? Well, you can take care of it yourself. It’s okay to go through hardships when you’re young.

After they passed away, no one truly mourned them.

Of course, there was no one who would take care of me.

Only, my maternal grandmother came and shed tears.

-Oh my, Miae… What if I go like this… Oh my, my child…

Then he said he would take me in and raise me.

– Even though this grandmother has nothing, I want to raise you on behalf of Mi-ae, Yohan.

My grandmother took me to Seoul on behalf of my parents who passed away leaving behind debt.

But she also got into a car accident not long after.

Misfortune that keeps coming unexpectedly.

After that, I really had no place to go, so I had no choice but to go to the orphanage.

-Hey, that guy… Right?

-Shh. Don’t even make eye contact… I’m going to get caught up and die for no reason…

Even at the high school I attended and at the orphanage, it was everyday life to be treated as a monster that ate people.

… Even when I look at them again, they are like sh*t memories.

It is no exaggeration to say that it was the worst time of my life.

Everyone either sympathizes with me or treats me like a dangerous person.

-Hey, you’re the bastard who ate your parents, right? The size is useful.

-Come to our team. If you punch me a little, I’ll give you a treat.

There were only kids who looked down on me and treated me like a gangster.

Of course, those bastards

-Pow!! Whoa whoa!!!

-I’m sorry!! Wrong! Stop it, maaan!! Ah!!

Those bastards treated me the way they saw me.

While I was fighting and hitting here and there, I met Hanna Park who stopped me.

* * *

“John! Please stop fighting! Just ignore it and pass by… Ugh… “

We attend the same high school and live in the same orphanage.

I guess it was fate that I had no choice but to become friends with the only friend who was in the same situation as me.

“…It’s noisy. What does it matter to you? Don’t approach me. “There’s no need for the director to scold you.”

“If you get scolded, you should get scolded too! Because I couldn’t stop you. So, if you don’t want to scold me, just be patient!!”

Even though he was abandoned by his parents much longer than me, I envied him because he was always bright and tried to set an example.

Compared to me, who gets gloomy and gets into fights and uses violence, I am someone who always makes others happy with conversation and laughter.

“I said it’s okay to swear! Really… If you keep using your fists, it will become a habit!”

I couldn’t bear to see someone like that being criticized.

-He’s an orphan anyway? There is nowhere to appeal… Wouldn’t it be okay to just drag it along and eat it?

-That b*tch had a killer body, right? Even though my heart feels a little sad. Write… My mouth is watering. hehehe. But they say there’s that crazy dog nearby… Wow!!!

“…It’s not like that. It has nothing to do with you. So, I’m the only one who will get scolded.”

“Don’t be needlessly stubborn!! “Let’s go and bow our heads first together!!!”

She was unusually mischievous.

I think her social skills have improved a little since she started hanging out with Hannah, who she can’t leave alone.

And

“Until we settle down… “Let’s not date.”

When she came out of the orphanage and she graduated from high school, I looked into her eyes and heard the story they had shared..

It would be a lie to say that she didn’t have feelings for me after that amount of time and interaction.

Fortunately, through conversation, she was able to find out that Hannah also had feelings for me.

But we weren’t confident yet.

Confidence in living stably in this world.

I thought that if we started dating, our physical exchange would quickly begin and we would both want children soon.

But we have just left the orphanage with only a few pennies in hand.

Both of them were too anxious to date without any preparation for the future.

That’s why

“Yes… “For now, let’s just be patient.”

The two of us decided to hold on just a little longer.

We have just been released from orphanage with only a few pennies in hand, and have emerged into society bare-chested under the name of adults.

Both of them were too anxious to date without any preparation for the future.

Just as my heart was the same, Hannah’s heart was the same.

Because of her own experience of being abandoned by her parents for which she was unprepared, she had always said that she would never subject her own child to such an experience.

“We… Let’s be patient. Let’s wait a bit, settle down, and then be happy. But it’s okay… “Is it okay, Johan?”

“Of course. Actually, I should have told you first… Sorry.”

“Ugh, no. Yohan is the one who will be patient at this point… I’m more sorry… “

“Wasn’t our Park Hanna holding back more?”

“Oh, no!!”

“Really? I’m starting to feel a little sad… “

“…Joe, a little… Yah! “Why are you laughing!!!”

Share each other’s hearts and resolutions like that.

After that, I lived really hectic and hard.

I was lucky enough to get a job at a store that provided room and board, and Hannah, who was able to attend college with her scholarship, was diligent in her studies.

“I’m good at drawing? “I’m going to become an illustrator or a webtoon later and become a big hit!!”

Hannah, who built her career by often outsourcing or doing other part-time jobs while receiving her scholarship, grew up smiling like that.

I was able to grow in a proper gym thanks to a connection I made while in the military.

Of course, there were many people who looked down on me and looked down on me because I was an orphan, but I maintained and proved my position through her efforts and skills.

In this way, while working part-time in the morning and during the day, and serving as an instructor and training at the dojo in the evening, she succeeded in making her professional debut, and Hanna also succeeded in entering her workplace stably.

“I think I will feel more stable if I win the domestic competition this time and advance overseas.”

“Me too… They said they would give me a promotion if I just passed this character project… Huh… “

Because it was a long time, the visible goal was so bright.

Neither of us said anything, but we could tell by the look in our eyes.

And the moment I thought that I would be able to achieve the happiness I had hoped for in the not-too-distant future.

-Kaaa Ahhhhh!

-Changerang!!!

“Johan! Johanaaa! Oh, no!!!”

The process of creating happiness was long, but the fall was so sudden and fast.

* * *

“Weeek!!! Wow… Huh, huh… Huh… “

As a swarm of light passes by my eyes and the scene in my memory is cut off, my body starts to feel nauseous.

The feelings that I had tried not to remember until now, but that I had kept in my heart, flowed out.

“What should I do?” What are you asking me to do? Seriously… Ah ah ah ah ah!!!”

What greeted me as soon as I opened my eyes was the reality that I had to survive.

In the midst of confusion, there were eyes aimed at me.

And the things that were lost.

I was so confused in my head, it felt like a dream.

Because this body was not my original body either.

Because I could no longer be with Hannah in this body.

“…Are you saying this is a test, you f*cking Ego Sword bastard?”

Suddenly, I remember that this all happened after I picked up the Ego Sword.

The phrase about the test in the game seems to have been referring to the present moment, not the monster.

“What are you saying? “What should I do? Shibaaal!!!”

I screamed loudly against the black background, but there was no response or response.

It just exists there.

“…Okay. It was all over. “It’s over.”

I lost everything.

Family, wealth, and love in modern times.

It was difficult to think properly due to the sense of loss, and all that was left was the feeling of not wanting to be under others and the knowledge of the game.

“But it’s not over yet, damn it.”

But, I will never live with loss.

As the forgotten emotions are violently poured out, what remains in the space of the heart is

It was a desire.

“I will enjoy more than what I have never been able to enjoy before.”

Becoming a knight gives you power, honor, and becoming a nobleman allows you to get married and have pretty women.

I will win everything with my own hands.

Everything that was lost, everything that was taken away.

So one day

If I can meet her after her death,

I really lived well without regrets. So you don’t have to feel sorry for living alone.

I want to say that.

“He’s such a good kid, he’s definitely crying… “

So when I get upset, I want to relieve my anger by pinching my cheek again.

“I’m sure it will succeed… “

Someday, I will live a life where I can laugh and tell her that I had a great time.

Stand tall as a knight.

-Paaa!!

Watching the black room begin to glow brightly again

I silently promised myself that.

The moment when John was being tested by the Ego Sword

-Clink!!!

“Ha, Miss Hannah!!! “You finally woke up!!!”

From an earldom in the Kingdom of Sherrington, which faced the southern border with the Empire.

“…After?”

Hannah Fraumuch, who had been asleep for several years, woke up from her bed.
