I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

Reed hung the small pickaxe on his waist.

When Reed bought this pickaxe, he only intended to use it for mining, but he never expected it to be so helpful.

Pick up two water bags and bring enough food.

Rena took a map and pointed to a forest in the Senmu district.

Reed was the only one going on this mission; Anlisa, as the soldier captain, usually managed the soldiers.

Rena's combat ability is completely lacking; she knows some magic, but not offensive magic.

Needless to say, Alice...

The two women watched Reed's retreating figure.

"Reed, be careful. This mission isn't about killing wild boars."

"Come back safely, Red! I'll buy you cookies when you get back!"

Reed nodded, took the task sheet, and walked out of the convenience store.

Upon reaching the exit of the town, follow the directions marked on the map.

Reed wasn't completely clueless this time; Rena told him about the forest and some of its dangers.

Be careful in the forest, whether at night or in the morning.

You might encounter some animals or wild beasts; be careful, there's a high probability of spiders in places with spider webs on trees.

Beware of goblin traps on the ground; be aware of your surroundings, as cultists or bandits may be lurking.

Look closely at the markings on some trees; these may be the symbols of elves.

If you find strange plants, leave. If you see mushrooms that are larger than normal, do not approach them.

Rena talked for a long time, and Reed only listened to half of it.

This suggests that the undeveloped forests of this world are dangerous, and the ruins within the cities are also quite dangerous.

But Reed wasn't nervous at all; he just found it somewhat amusing.

Thanks to Reed's amazing speed, they quickly arrived at the forest.

Red looked around the forest; there weren't many trees, but sunlight could still penetrate them.

Red slowed his pace and walked into the forest, mainly because he was afraid of bumping his head into a tree while running.

[On the road...]

We encountered no danger in this section; we are likely still on the outer edge of the forest.

He also saw some plants that Red had never seen before, but they didn't look dangerous.

Reed continued walking...

The Sound of the Grass

Red suddenly heard something move and bump into the grass. He stopped and hid behind a tree.

Looking around, Reed spotted a somewhat swaying figure.

"Two skeletons? And they can still walk..." Reed raised an eyebrow, looking at the skeletons swaying and walking not far ahead.

The source of the sound was two skeletons, human skeletons whose bodies were now just bones.

But miraculously, it could still walk, though it seemed somewhat aimless, with no clothes on its body and nothing in its hands.

Red came out, and the two skeletons turned around and saw him.

【The battle begins】

The two skulls, which had been moving slowly, now walked at a normal pace towards Reed.

[Precision Throw] Reed pulled out his pickaxe and threw it at a skeleton.

The pickaxe struck the skeleton's body, shattering it completely, and the skeleton collapsed to the ground.

[Intuition Without Intelligence] Another skeleton appeared in front of Reed, its previously slow hand becoming incredibly fast, striking Reed.

[Uppercut] Reed didn't lose a drop of blood, and punched the skeleton upwards in the chin.

The skeletons all fell to the ground, and when Reed kicked them, they didn't move.

【End of battle】

Reid continued deeper into the forest, where the Black Crown cult preferred to operate.

Reed continued walking and saw something strange: a tree with obviously odd patterns.

Red looked around the tree, and suddenly felt a chill.

Reed turned his head, his eyes meeting a pair of eyes that glowed blue.

Reed took several steps back

"Does this world even have ghosts?" Reed smirked, looking at the ghostly aura emanating from the surrounding area.

[Absorbing Life Force] The ghost quickly moved in front of Reed. The ghost twitched a few times, and Reed realized that he seemed to be attacked.

[Black Feather Golden Light] Reid drew his Thin Dusk Greatsword and slashed horizontally at the ghost in front of him.

The ghost let out a scream, and its entire deathly body and those blue eyes vanished into thin air.

Reed calmly sheathed his greatsword; he was feeling incredibly bored.

This encounter didn't even qualify as a battle; I was only slightly frightened when I first met this ghost.

The ghost's attacks were practically negligible to him.

Reed continued deeper into the area, encountering some dangers along the way.

They posed no threat whatsoever; they were all instantly killed by Reed with a single strike.

Reed glanced at the map and then at the road; he figured he could find the cultists in about half an hour.

Reed heard footsteps behind him and turned around to look.

"Four skeletons," Reed muttered to himself, then pulled out a large knife.

Reed was about to walk over and kill him instantly, just like before, but stopped after seeing clearly.

"You have the equipment?"

The four skeletons on the other side were different from the naked skeletons from before.

The four skeletons wore tattered clothes and badly damaged armor.

They were also carrying weapons: two of them had two long swords, one had a short sword, and one had a shield.

Upon seeing Reed, the four skeletons attacked first, their movement and reaction speed far surpassing the previous skeletons that had nothing.

[The Bone Blade] The skeleton gripped its longsword and swung it, striking Reid.

Reed took a step back; now he had to be serious, as the opponent's attacks could damage him.

That's an amazing two points of red damage!

[Black Feather Golden Light] Reid picked up his greatsword and swung it.

[Shield of Bones] The skeleton wielding a large shield in both hands charged forward, blocking the longsword skeleton's sword.

Although it blocked the attack, the strike completely shattered the opponent's large shield.

The attack struck the shield-bearing skeleton instead, shattering its entire body instantly.

[Undeterred] The skeleton, wielding a short sword, stealthily approached Reed from behind and lunged.

Reed dodged and delivered a backhand punch, shattering the opponent's arm.

In the ensuing battle, Reed killed them one by one with a single strike, crushing their skulls.

Reed sheathed his greatsword, somewhat moved by the sight of these skeletons.

"It even protects another skeleton. Perhaps these dead skeletons possess some intelligence?"

As Reed took his first step, preparing to cross these skeletons...

Reed suddenly drew his greatsword and blocked behind his back.

The sound of an arrow striking a blade

Red turned around and found no one behind him. Red looked up.

I saw a figure in the tree.

The figure held a bow and arrow, drawing the bowstring taut, ready to shoot.

Reed picked up the pickaxe from his waist and threw it at the other man.

The figure ducked briefly in the tree, but the bow and pickaxe in its hand fell to the ground.

The figure hesitated for a few seconds, then drew a short sword from its waist and jumped down.

Reed saw the figure fall to the ground and picked up his short sword, wary.

The other person has blonde hair in a single ponytail, and is dressed in green with long boots.

Just as Reed was about to explain what this meant, he swallowed back the words he was about to say.

Then another question appeared: "Are you a normal person?"

The main reason Reed asked this was because he saw the other person's long ears and green eyes.
