Something... it seems I'm feeling something...
"Report: Resistance to pain has been acquired."
Tired... ah, no, not anymore.
"Report: A body that will never tire is being created... Success."
Thirty-nine years... Is that old or young? Perhaps... this is what death feels like?
"Report: A body that will never age is being created... An undead body... a body made of pure energy... Success."
Wife...? None. Money...? Well, that's just how it is. Life... was just like that.
"Information incorrect...?"
Damn, how annoying!
"Information incorrect... searching for appropriate data... New Extra Skill acquired: Spectral Howl... Success."
What is this sound...? Is this a hallucination...?
"Report: New Extra Skill acquired: Mind Manipulation... Success."
Skill...? What is this? Wait... I think I've heard of this somewhere before...
Wait!! Don't tell me...?
If I'm reincarnated into the world I've been thinking of, maybe all I want is to live freely...
"Report: Unique Skill acquired: Libertas."
Nothing is blocking me now...
"Report: Unique Skill acquired: Piercer."
I knew it... Ah... Darkness.
Damn it...
The sky above is dim, painted with hues of pink and purple as my eyes open. It feels like being reborn from utter darkness. Ahh... is this life?
"Report: Magicule Sense acquired."
My body feels light yet brimming with a power I've never known—like a hidden force lurking behind each breath.
"Report: Host body formed from pure magicule energy."
Who...?
"Report: Unique Skill: Libertas."
This reminds me of Rimuru's Great Sage skill...
The dusky sky and the vast, empty land suggest this isn't the Jura Forest. Is this Leon Cromwell's domain? Or perhaps Elmesia? If I'm in the Eastern Empire's territory, things could get serious.
Rumbling sounds
What's that noise...?
From a distance, I see a giant humanoid figure chasing after an unknown creature. Wait... is that a giant??
So, this is the Barren Land? The territory of Demon Lord Dagruel?
Damn, I need to hide...
"Report: According to data... the host is a new type of creature, one that has naturally mutated from a combination of undead and pure energy itself."
Forget race issues—focus on survival first!
"Report: Intrinsic skill: Ethereal Form (ability to become invisible or intangible)."
Incredible!
Wait!... Could that giant also control Magicule Sense? Libertas?
"Report: Because the host's body is pure energy, the host's energy is mixed with..."
Yeah... the surrounding energy, so he can't see me, right?
I fade into the shadows. Finally, the giant pursues the unknown monster—and they clash. Under the dim, foggy sky and the slow roll of dark clouds, an ominous atmosphere blankets the land.
Earth-shaking tremors and thunderous roars echo from afar, signaling an epic battle between the creature and the monster ravaging everything in its path. The giant, with a body as formidable as marble and muscles blazing with power, strides forward with confidence. The unknown monster, with a strange, dragon-like form, charges and spews toxic liquid, trying to drown the giant in chaos.
But the giant remains unfazed. With unwavering resolve, he raises his massive hand and swings with unmatched strength. A single, devastating blow cleaves the monster in two, sending it soaring into the air with a thunderous cry. The beast falls, defeated, leaving destruction in its wake.
Breathing heavily, yet victorious, the giant stands tall amid the wreckage. The dark skies begin to clear as sunlight breaks through the clouds.
So powerful...
Turns around suddenly
Danger... I feel an overwhelming terror... I might die...
The giant turns, then begins to walk away, back to where he came from.
Huh...huh... Terrifying... Is this fear? Fear of death? Or just the overwhelming sense of power?
It's not a good feeling. I hate this—it reminds me of my previous life...
Always looked down upon...
I want to become strong enough to control my own destiny...
Blue hair, blue eyes, unwavering confidence—
The True Giant—Dagruel, the Earthquake.
No wonder...
Just wait... someday, this situation will turn around!!
