After the old man suddenly disappeared...
Karsa stood bewildered by what had just happened.
Karsa clenched his fist and sighed deeply...
Karsa laughed...
He laughed loudly...
A laugh that shook the ground around him...
His laughter was so intense that the birds flying above him fell unconscious to the ground...
The wooden planks of the houses around him began to bend from the force of his laughter.
Even the trees began to crack and split.
Although Karsa didn't release a single atom of magical energy...
the immense pressure of his laughter made everything around him bend...
"This is something you don't see every day, really," Karsa said with a smile after laughing for a long time.
"It seems there's always a sky above a sky."
Karsa took a handful of dirt from the ground and said, "There isn't even a trace of magical energy..."
Karsa threw the handful of dirt and left, saying, "This scene truly deserves a feast... Hahaha!"
Karsa, who had never laughed with such force Ten years ago, he finally laughed from his heart.
And he went to eat a great feast to celebrate what he had seen...
Five minutes later...
Karsa was sitting on the ground by the roadside,
amidst the stares of passersby, who were surprised by Karsa's actions.
Karsa's feast before him was something he hadn't eaten in years...
a great feast that would gladden Karsa's stomach for days...
One apple ...
Yes, that was Karsa's feast...
In Karsa's eyes, that single apple was a great feast, a joy to the heart.
Karsa was an ascetic...
Although he was very rich,
he preferred to donate all his money to the needy.
Karsa picked up the apple and tried to bite into it when his eyes caught sight of a woman shivering from the cold in the street,
hugging her children to keep them warm.
In front of her were a few cheap bracelets she was trying to sell.
Karsa got up and approached a butcher.
The butcher said, "Oh, hello, big man... How can I help you?!"
Karsa placed ten gold-colored sun-shaped coins on the counter, each with the number 100 dinars written on it.
The butcher shouted Surprised
"Wow! Is this really what I see? ... The currency of the Great Sun Empire? ... What would you like, esteemed guest...?"
Karsa pointed to a woman and said, "I want you to buy warm clothes for that woman and her children every day,
give her some meat from your own supply,
buy her some vegetables and fruit, and take 100 dinars for yourself."
the vendor looked at Karsa in astonishment and said, "Why are you asking me to do this? Why don't you do it yourself?"
Karsa was silent for a moment, then said, "I saw you a little while ago giving that woman some meat...
I believe in the honesty of a man who does good...
even if it's just watering a tree with dirty water...
and I ..... don't consider myself that kind of man at all."
Karsa left, leaving the vendor speechless.
The vendor smiled and said, "A strange man..."
When the vendor tried to pick up the coins Karsa had left behind,
he found an apple among them, which surprised him. "Hmm, an apple?"
Yes, Karsa even left his simple meal uneaten...
Truly a strange man.
A few minutes later,
Karsa was sitting at a table in a simple restaurant.
Karsa was attracting attention All the passersby were struck by his large size and also by his... unusual meal.
Karsa was dipping bread in water and eating it...
smiling with every bite as if he were eating rare meat cooked by the finest chef.
After Karsa finished his meal, a restaurant owner approached him,
saying obsequiously, "Oh, would you like something else? Hehe."
The restaurant owner thought to himself, (This man paid 100 dinars for some bread and water. That's at least 5,000 shillings!)
Karsa wiped his mouth and said, "Thank God..."
Karsa left five coins of the same denomination and said, "Provide food for all the poor people in the neighborhood...
and if you try to take it for yourself..."
The restaurant owner was surprised and said, "If you try?"
Karsa stood up and started to leave, saying, "Let's hope that doesn't happen..."
The restaurant owner was silent for a moment, then said, "What are you talking about? Of course I'll take them for myself."
The restaurant owner then noticed that Karsa's footsteps on the ground had left a mark.
It was clear, despite the ground being made of hawk rock, one of the hardest types of rock in the continent.
The restaurant owner shuddered and said nervously as he wiped the table, "What can I say... doing good is much better."
After some time, Karsa headed towards a hunters' guild after the restaurant owner had told him the way.
All the way to the guild, Karsa was still the center of attention for children, young people, the elderly, and even humans , elfs ...
His body was massive, and his sharp, golden eyes moved with him,
sometimes leaving a golden light.
His height was enormous, exceeding the heads of horses, and his simple attire—a white robe and a gold garment—only added to his imposing presence.
With his broken sword at his waist, he drew all eyes to him.
After some time, Karsa arrived at the hunters' guild in Ramon City.
The guild was a medium-sized building constructed of simple brown wood,
with the guild's emblem hanging from it:
a brown circle, symbolizing the color of the dust that hunters are covered in, representing their strength and pride.
Inside the circle was an iron sword, symbolizing the guild's warriors, and a staff.
A wooden magic wand symbolized the guild's wizards, and beneath it, a coin symbolized that money wasn't a hunter's priority.
Around the guild building, hunters of various classes—mage, swordsman, and warrior—loitered, representing different races and ethnicities.
Karsa entered, opening the guild door to find himself surrounded by a crowded place.
Some hunters were arguing over orders,
others were sitting and laughing amongst themselves,
and still others were simply silent and withdrawn.
At the front was a reception desk where a short,
lanky girl with short blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and a small,
round face sat.
She wore a formal black suit and a white,
round hat with the guild's emblem.
the receptionist, visibly annoyed, was busy arranging orders.
She sighed heavily and said, "Ugh, when will I ever finish these orders, for God's sake?!"
Name = Rana
Race = ELF
Receptionist at a fishermen's union branch in Ramona
Level = Warrior
Suddenly, as Rana was engrossed in paperwork,
a shadow appeared, enveloping her.
Rana was startled and exclaimed, "huh ? Where did this shadow come from?
It's still morning ...."
Rona looked up and was startled to find a huge man in front of her who looked like an orc king.
To make matters worse, Karsa said in a terrifying tone,
"Oh...? I didn't expect to see a child working in a hunters' guild..."
A tear unconsciously began to fall from Rona's eye as her face contorted with fear. She said, "Mother...?"
