I was transported from Lobotomy Corporation to another world.

[Perspective: Reed]

It was dark and visibility was limited, but the moonlight illuminated the earth, allowing Red to barely see the road.

After walking for a while, Reed saw green grass ahead.

Reed quickened his pace and walked over, looking at the ground with withered grass on one side and green grass on the other...

It's practically like a dividing line, and the area appears to be a circle.

Inside the circle were withered, rotten trees, while outside the circle were patches of lush green grass.

"That's strange..." Reed muttered to himself as he continued walking.

But there were trees blocking the moonlight, and since it was already dark, it was even harder to see.

Reed began checking his belongings...

EGO Twilight Set + a bunch of accessories + Heart of Desire

Two water bags + a rope tied around the waist

His small pickaxe was missing, and the endorphins he carried were destroyed in the battle.

Nothing on him could provide light.

Reed stopped, looked at the bushes ahead, and walked over.

Red was now thirsty and hungry, and some of his wounds had reopened due to his movement, with some already infected.

My steps were somewhat heavy and unsteady.

Reed didn't treat the wounds; it was too much trouble for him.

Red kept walking... and with each step he took, he bled...

The rustling of the surrounding grass grew louder and louder; they had gathered around after smelling the blood.

Reed sensed danger nearby, gripped his greatsword, and stopped in his tracks.

【The battle begins】

[Rolling Leaf] A clump of grass suddenly moved, then rolled towards Reed.

[See through] Reed dodges and then strikes his opponent with a backhand slash!

Reed slashed at the grass, making a squeaking sound like an insect.

He then rolled to the side, and only then did Red see the limbs of an insect under the grass.

In other words, this was imitating a large insect in the grass. Upon closer inspection, Reed noticed that besides some leaves, the insect's back also had long, sharp spines.

Red heard the sound of rolling dirt behind him again.

[Rolling Leaf] Another large insect rolled over.

Reed planted his broadsword in the ground, and the tiger, blocked by the sword, clanged as it did so.

The worm was forced to stop and tried to get up, but Reed drew his sword and slashed at it.

Reed had just finished dealing with one when he heard rolling sounds of dirt coming from another direction.

Reed looked around and saw more than a dozen more rolling over.

Social animals? The moment these insects appeared, the previously dense grass nearby suddenly became sparse.

Reed gripped his greatsword tightly, bracing himself for the approaching worm...

[A little while later...]

Reed killed all the large worms on the field; the large worms had very low damage output.

Although the damage was low, Reed was still not fully recovered, and the giant worm's attack only made things worse for him.

Reed looked at the large insects lying on the ground and pulled some of the sharp spines off their backs.

Then he continued walking forward...

【End of battle】

Along the way, Reed encountered attacks from some monsters, but he killed them all with his sword.

However, this also caused Reed's wound to heal very slowly, as every movement would pull on the wound.

Reed was starting to feel tired as he walked... and he was losing more and more blood...

[Exhausted] All attributes are reduced... Attack attributes are greatly reduced... Has the [Pain] effect.

Reed touched his wound with his hand, looked at his blood-stained hands, and decided to sit down for a while...

Reed had intended to sit down and rest, but his eyes suddenly caught sight of a bright light nearby.

"There are houses..." Ahead lay what appeared to be a village, yet it also seemed like a village; it was quiet, but there did seem to be signs of human habitation.

Red walked step by step toward the light, folding up the wings on his back and putting away the pipe from his mouth.

With heavy steps, I walked step by step until my feet finally reached inside the fence.

Just as Red stepped inside and was about to take another step, his vision suddenly blurred and his head began to spin more and more.

With a "thump," Reed fell to the ground...

Apart from the chirping of insects and birdsong, the surroundings were eerily quiet.

With a creak, a door opened, and a head peeked out from inside.

He went outside, carrying a lantern, and carefully approached Reed. Behind him was a woman.

The woman asked, "What's wrong, honey?"

The man said, "Nothing... I heard some noise, so I came out to check, but now..."

The woman covered her mouth with both hands. "Oh my god! What's going on! A person covered in blood? Honey, do you know who he is?"

The man shook his head. "We don't have this person on our turf... It seems he came here seriously injured..."

The woman looked at Reed, who was covered in blood, and asked, "What should we do? Should we try to save him?"

The man suddenly became angry and said, "Save him?! Someone of unknown origin! And we're already hiding! What if he's a spy or something?!"

"And he doesn't look like a good person at all."

The woman said, "You can't judge a book by its cover! Besides, this person doesn't look like he's faking it at all. The smell of blood is practically wafting into our house!"

The two women began debating whether or not to save Red, and the woman ultimately won.

The man had no choice but to reluctantly carry Reed back into the house.

The man understood his wife's good intentions; after all, she was saved by a kind person and was able to live until now...

The next morning

Reed woke up groggily, slowly opening his eyes to see the bandage on his arm.

Green was a little confused, then looked at his body and saw that most of the bleeding areas were bandaged.

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Reed was about to get out of bed.

A voice stopped him, "Wait a minute, you're still injured. If you don't want to bleed more, lie down properly."

Reed looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man wearing a leather jacket. His features were normal, except for a long scar on his face.

"Keep your voice down!" The woman next to the man gestured for silence.

He then approached Reed and said, "Hello... Can you see?"

Reed did not answer...

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, the woman could only ask other questions, "Don't be wary. You were lying in front of my house covered in blood... We saw you were injured all over, so we helped you."

Reed paused for a few seconds before asking, "Why did you save me?"

The woman was somewhat at a loss for words when faced with Reed's question: "Sometimes, saving someone doesn't require so many 'whys'..."

"We rescued people out of kindness, nothing more."

After hearing the woman's reply, Reed chuckled inwardly.

This is the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life. Or rather, not funny, but humorous...

Red neither agreed nor disagreed; he lay back down on the bed and remained silent.

The man was annoyed by Rhett's attitude, but he suppressed his anger when he saw the look in his wife's eyes...

The two left without saying anything more, closing the door behind them.

Seeing the other person leave, Reed sat up slightly and looked at the wounds on his body that were tightly bound.

Red didn't believe he was so lucky that someone would save him a second time.

Red didn't believe the two men had saved him out of kindness, because he had just seen them exchanging glances.

Reed chose to remain still; if the other side dared to do anything to him, he would kill them without hesitation.
