The protagonist Kaiar, who soul-traveled and became a recovery mage with a system, begins his new life. He has memories of his past life after awakening his class at the cusp of adulthood. Fusing t...
Around noon, the camp was filled with an enticing aroma as wild boar meatball, mushroom, and fish soup was once again prepared by Kyal.
"Mmm...delicious!..."
Eve wolfed down her food, showing absolutely no trace of the ladylike demeanor expected of a young lady.
There was nothing she could do about it. During the continuous escape, Eve had hardly eaten. She was starving, thirsty, and exhausted.
When a person is extremely hungry or exhausted, any food tastes delicious.
While Kyal was cooking, she almost couldn't resist the aroma.
As for whether eating monster meat would cause poisoning, Kayal had already explained it to her. As long as it was processed by his unique method, it wouldn't be poisonous and could even improve her talent value.
Not just to fill her hunger, but also to become stronger, Eve tearfully transformed into a rice-eating person.
Forget about dining etiquette and ladylike manners! I just want to eat!
"Eat slowly, don't choke. I'm not going to take it from you."
Kayal watched from the sidelines, his lips twitching. Eve's beautiful image as the original heroine had been completely ruined by herself at this moment.
And so, most of the meatball, mushroom, and fish soup ended up in Eve's stomach. Afterwards, she covered her lower abdomen with a satisfied expression, as if she had no regrets in this life.
"Are you full?"
"I'm full! Lord Kyal! When do we begin training?"
Eve looked very enthusiastic.
"Before we officially begin training, I'll give you two options."
Kyal looked at Eve intently, his expression quite serious.
Seeing Kyal's serious attitude, Eve immediately quieted down and listened attentively.
“I won’t stay here for long. In two months at most, I will leave and return to the Kingdom of Geolar.”
"Your foundation is simply too weak; two months is not enough time to quickly train you into a skilled individual."
"So now I'm giving you two choices."
"The first method is to instill some memories in you. These memories contain the combat experiences and knowledge of various other people. After receiving these memories, as long as you digest them through practice, you can quickly make up for your weak foundation and make you capable of standing alone."
"But there are risks involved, because these memories come from other people's personal experiences, and their memories may affect your personality and self, making you no longer yourself."
“If it’s even more serious, then you become like them.”
"The second option is to start training from scratch. This takes the longest time, but it is also safe."
"But you can only receive my training for these two months. Before I leave, I will arrange your accommodation in a human town that the demons cannot enter, and then we will part ways for the time being."
"You choose one yourself."
Kayal gazed into Eve's eyes, observing her expression.
Sure enough, Eve's expression began to waver and struggle.
She thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't come up with an answer.
Because she was conflicted, if she wanted to get revenge quickly, she should undoubtedly choose the first option, even if it meant taking risks.
But losing yourself and becoming someone else... that price is far too heavy.
There was also a safer path before her, even if it would take more time... but it was risk-free...
She felt like she had come to a crossroads. One path led quickly to her destination but was risky, while the other, though a longer and more circuitous route, was safer.
Humans are inherently afraid of death, and between danger and safety, people always tend to choose the safer option.
However, if she takes too long, before she can fully grow up and avenge her great grudge, the current Demon King might die naturally first.
"I choose the first option."
Finally, Eve responded to Kyal with a resolute look in her eyes.
"As expected, just as I predicted, you made this choice. However, considering it for so long, it seems that your determination for revenge isn't that great."
"No, that's not true!"
Although Eve vehemently denied Kyal's claims, she herself lacked confidence...
"Is that so? Then why did you hesitate for so long? As a true avenger, you should drag your enemies into hell at any cost. Don't you even have this most basic awareness? It's truly disappointing."
Kyal criticized Eve mercilessly, while giving her a cold laugh.
"No way! If it weren't for revenge, why would I agree to this?! Why would I so easily entrust my future to you?!"
"Stop making excuses. You're just seeking peace of mind."
Eve fell silent upon hearing Kyal's words.
If it were just for revenge, she really didn't need to sell herself to this hero. Her pride as the young lady of the Blackwing Clan wouldn't allow her to do such a thing, but she did it anyway.
If, with Kaiyal's help, she were to actually kill the current Demon King and become the new Demon King, and Kaiyal were to rule her, it would mean that he would also rule the entire demon race. This would mean that the entire demon race would be under the control of humans, and without a doubt, her actions would constitute demonic treason.
Eve agreed to Kyal's conditions simply to follow him, borrow his power to protect herself, and survive. That was all.
