23 - Chapter Xxiii -- And I'M At A Loss.
Deep in the forest of Lunois, I am looking at the bright blue sky through the trees.
Ah, it's a beautiful day. A perfect day for doing laundry. The season is autumn. The weather is perfect, neither too hot nor too cold. A fresh breeze is blowing through the forest. Ah, it's a nice breeze. Reading a book in the house is fine, but taking a bath in the forest like this, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, is not so bad. What a serene space. Peaceful....
Tears are shining in my eyes as I think of this. I need a little more time to escape from reality.
A man attacked me out of the blue. I didn't even do anything. I was going to spend some time in the forest of Lunois until the master calmed down, but even the demons that live in the forest are leaving me. As I move deeper and deeper into the forest, more and more demons run away from me. And they're all running as fast as they can.
There is no sign of anything around me. Silence. It's pretty scary to be in a forest where there's no sign of anything. No, really. I don't know what happened to me. At any rate, I checked my status and found that I was in some kind of trouble.

What the hell is going on? Slave warder" has become "Great Demon King". It's got some crazy skill set and a silly title... Since when did I become a baseball player?
I couldn't help but check my appearance when I saw that my occupation had been changed to "Daimajo. My reflection in the water was unchanged. But to my surprise, when I went to check my status, the status screen suddenly appeared in front of me. It seems to be due to the effect of appraisal level 5. Besides, it shows me all the information I want to know. Since I have reached the other detecting ability, the "map" is also displayed.
The "map" shows all creatures within 50 km. It seems that hostile or hateful creatures are shown in red, and the area of 5 km around me is pure white, but the area outside of it is bright red.
Speaking of dangerous skills, I have a curse level 5. I immediately checked it out and found that
"Abhorred by all creatures, it attracts evil. 500% increase in status."
It seems to be a skill that raises the level of the skill a lot, but everyone hates it. Apparently, this skill is the reason why no one comes to me.
My skill can be hidden. In other words, I can block others from appraising me. But I could not hide this "curse" by any means.
Physical and magical attacks such as swords, spears, bows and arrows are completely ineffective, as are poison and paralysis. In other words, no attack would work on me.
I stare at the sky in a daze. For some reason, I can't stop the tears from welling up in my eyes.
After escaping from reality for a while, I try to clear my mind. I'm going to stop thinking about my situation for a while. Let's think about something else. Yes, let's do that.
So I'm going to appraise the artifact in the Barsam family treasury. This is a terrible thing.
"The Sword of No Name."
By channeling a small amount of magic power into it, it transforms into a sword most suitable for its owner. It brings out the best of its owner's talents to the fullest.
Proble Robe
A robe that keeps the wearer clean at all times. It protects completely against curses, poisons, and paralysis. It completely heals the wearer's bleeding areas.
This robe works, doesn't it?
I put on the robe of probability immediately. The curse skill does not disappear at all. However, I found that this robe purifies my clothes and body, keeping them clean. In other words, no need to bathe, no need to wash. In other words, no need to bathe, no need to wash, and since it also heals the injured, it is a robe that does not require a hospital. A must-have for your travel companion! The first of the Bartham family is wonderful.
Since we are here, let's take a look at the "unnamed sword" in my hand. It is said to be a sword that brings out the best in its owner and maximizes his/her talents. I try to send magic power to the sword.
The description says it is a small amount, but it takes a lot of magic power. It is an iron sword like those sold in ordinary arms shops, but it emits light according to the amount of magic power it contains. And just as I thought I saw a flash of light, I saw a Japanese sword in my hand.
A Japanese sword in a black scabbard, as often seen in period dramas. It is quite light. I pull it out carefully and slowly.
To my surprise, it was a sword with bright red ripples. I examined the sword and found it to be..,
"- - - -"
A sword that cuts not the flesh, but the spirit. The target of the cut will suffer hellish pain for a long time, and eventually die a mad death. No defense.
This is a bad idea. He's suddenly made a cursed sword. Look at it carefully,
"Created only once. Deactivation upon the owner's death."
Wow. No, no, no. I'm not taking any chances!
Let's give this sword a name for now. Onigiri...
I'm getting hungry thinking of a name for the sword. It is not because of hunger that the sword is named after a food. It was just a coincidence. Come to think of it, I haven't eaten anything since yesterday's lunch. I decided to cook for now, and started to prepare for it.
