Eat and sleep A healthy lifestyle?
A little pre-translation note: At tiet a few chapters like this where it’s a particular character talking about the past But instead of it being a real conversation, we only see what one character says It’s unclear when this conversation took place but it was probably well before the elf village war
Past Reflections: Ariel
What was the System like immediately after it was put into operation? What’s the point in asking about that? ……It’s not so pleasant to talk about you know? You still want to know? Hs were back then in a word, it was brutal Simply that Brutally brutal Apparently, it was like hell all over the place I was co with my own troubles, so I only heard about other places froine it
Firstly, the countries that produced y were in a hopeless state Naturally, right? Just iine what modern Japan would be like if electricity coasoline in that too Basically that ht Because those had been relied upon, it’s obvious that living standards would collapse
In addition, because of the attacks fro had been totally wrecked Not only had ees, the fact that it wasn’t possible to use energy on top of that was a double-punch Reconstruction wasn’t re each day
What was most painful for etting food each day, yet due to my constitution I had to consuave me priority with food distribution because of that, but it still wasn’t enough Kids even younger than me would endure their own empty stouilty, that I had wanted to die Or rather, I seriously thought that several ti “Sariel-sa But it still wasn’t enough, and I still can’t forget the taste of the dirt I ate in order to deceive ed to survive those tihts started to break out The cause, was due to the Systeuessresources Like I just said, there was a serious shortage of food, right In the scra each other in various places, and basically that slowly escalated If they had that y, shouldn’t they have just cooperated to break free of the situation they were in? But well, huht Anyway, they couldn’t think of anything else except to scrae, continued to take refuge and avoid those fights However, there were tied into it In those days I was just a burden, and didn’t have the slightest ability to fight Immediately after the Systeiven by the status values, but that depended upon your original abilities in the first place As I was spending more than half the day in bed, the benefits of the status values were less than that of a nor I could do
But you know, there was one day when a really helpless situation occurred On that day, Gob-gob went off to try to fight some men for the first time We were the survivors of Potimas’s human experiments However, just because we survived that didn’t necessarily ob only had a lifespan of several years It should have been research to try to prolong life, but he was a kid born with green skin and a lifespan much shorter than normal humans Well, he had obviously been treated like a failure
「I won’t livethat, he went off So anyway, I gave him my favourite pressed flower bookmark, and told him this beforehand
「That’s my favourite, so be sure to return it」
In the end, after showing a vague smile, he never returned He had always been a coward you know But right at the very end he tried to be cool He was an idiot, right…… Yeah, an idiot
From then on us lot wandered around every which way to escape the ravages of war, but so over food, to a conflict between humans and evolved humans We were simply at the mercy of events, so I don’t know the details about how the situation transitioned into such a conflict However, before I knew it, it had developed into a situation where hu evolved humans The evolved humans, called demons nowadays, had far better physical abilities than normal humans in the first place, and their status values were correspondingly superior However, they were a small minority, and because at first the evolved humans didn’t tea about the food problems? Well, it’s true that the population was reduced as they killed each other in a scramble for food so the aly, but the main reason the situation improved was because of an outbreak ofwhy there were monsters? Well, just listen These days , but in those initial days they would spring forth out of nowhere I’d guess it was so that D had prepared So, norh there was chaos However, by the time of the first monster outbreak, people had already started to iven by status values and skills you see As a result, the monsters weren’t that much of a threat The monsters back then were like prototypes, so they weren’t that strong anyway either When h to kill them in return In those days, it was the other humans ere scarier
So, we have these ly, they were a source of ht? In those days, people would eat whatever they could, even if it was soh, the demons weren’t even a threat, and in fact they became a source of aid Well, because their arrival created some leeway in resources, I’m sure that’s exactly what led to the movement to suppress the demons
The cornered deara continent, where they forroup and counterattacked The rest follohat you already know, that’s how the history of a long war between the huion Well, it did take a number of years to develop that far of course Or rather, until it stabilised the wars there were a really bad quaght have brieflywas a vauy hi the va their followers he struck out at the people Apparently, it ith suchwould be killed If the deether then history would have been different, but unfortunately the result was the current 3-way struggle Or rather, can the current situation even be called a 3-way struggle? The current situation is one where you can’t tell your friends from your enee, in the end we all went our separate ways There was a faction that believed in saving the people according to Sariel-sas There was a faction that believed that it would be better to fight in order to save Sariel-sama as soon as possible I’ve said this many times, but us orphans were survivors from Potimas’s human experiob, there were also those who had both failed parts and successful parts Those with superior physical abilities, those with special abilities, and so on Combine that with skills and status values and they were able to dereater abilities than normal humans As we children fled here and there over the rew into adults
Eh? What do you nificently! Ha ha ha ha ha
Aheht in half, and set out on our own Did you know? The first Hero and the first Saint caht? Well anyway, they all either died fighting or lived out their lives and there’s none re Most of the to reincarnate, they sacrificed their own souls and all their energy to the System They all vanished like that All of theotten used to being left behind Well, unlike theht at all It took all I had just to stay alive you know While I was lying in bed, everyone else was lost Just as it that someone useless like me remained in the end? On top of that, I don’t knohy, but I beca
Maybe it was the influence of the System, or otherwise Potimas’s research must have quietly born fruit Or maybe it was both of theed since the System was first put into operation That’s why I’ I succeeded in overco my weak constitution due to my status values and skills With the Gluttony Skill I could eat as much as I wanted of whatever I wanted to, and also the Syste months and years e person, then higher, then higher and higher still And that’s how I beca for Potimas that he had thrown oal of eternal youth I’ht “If only I had never thrown her away!” or soht!
Eh? What was Poti immediately after the System was put into operation? Who knows? He couess you could say he went into hiding? Just when I thought he had finally become quiet, before I knew it the new species called “elves” had suddenly infiltrated all of society Literally, before I knew it That guy’s skill really is superior when it coh, but that’s about how things were immediately after the Systeht?
