He didn't notice—he was solely thinking about her. As soon as they reached him with a sword, all of them fell on the ground.
Their legs turned into a violet color. Their blood veins turned black and hard, solid as a rock.
They all screamed out of pain. The agony of the poison flowing over their legs made them lose their minds.
Rolling on the ground, screaming with pain, Eugene stands up holding her, and he approaches them all one by one.
He then returns back to the wall. He held his head and said, "I gave you my back, thinking you were genuinely smart enough to at least jump off the balcony and die yourself, but I guess I have to do it on my own."
He opened another inventory door. The number of the doors was equal to the number of the soldiers.
He squinted his hands, adjusting the size of his inventory doors equal to the mouths of the soldiers.
He sticks the inventory doors to their mouths. He then clicked his fingers. As soon as it clicked, each and every one of them was sucked to the point where their lungs and hearts were already in the inventory.
He throws the rest of the bodies and what entered his inventory out like a piece of garbage and held the lady.
He walked downstairs so calmly. The sound of his footsteps echoed around the house. He went outside to see top mages all flying in the sky, staring at him.
He noticed them way before they even came. But he knows, and not only he—everyone knows—they are nothing that big of a deal compared to him. In other terms, they aren't worth his attention.
He walks out pretty boldly, passing by as they all stared at him. One of the strongest five mages says, "How dare you..."
Eugene ignored that as well and kept on walking. But out of the five, only one knows how to act in this situation. Each and every one of them are strong, yet they are blinded by their ego.
Always on the front. But that doesn't mean they were the same back then when they were weaker than now. One of them—she is a healer.
One who was despised for being a healer-class mage as a first-born child. One who never performed better on the battlefield.
She said with a sweet tone while flying down near him, "May I take a look at her?"
She immediately noticed an energy shift in her mana presence as soon as she spoke the words. That is because she got Eugene's attention. He was judging her healing skills.
He originally thought of using the holy healer from the green goblins. But the mechanisms of healing might be different. As such, finding the best human-specialized healer to heal her for him would definitely be of good.
He said, "May I ask you to heal her, if that's not much?"
She said with a shaky voice, "W-we c-can b-but I need her to come into my healing garden. If it's not super urgent, for now I think she won't wake up."
Eugene planned on saying, "Why not do it here?"
But PSI took control and said, "Sure, let's head there now."
The mages were all stunned by her immediate act. She might actually be able to include him into her territory.
The mages are surely royals.
On their way to her healing garden, Eugene wondered why. Did I make a mistake of saying no to her request?
Eugene asked PSI, "By the way, when you said yes to the healer, what did you actually mean? Did you want to dive into her healing place with no plans?"
PSI said, "You saying no—is it a mistake or not?"
Eugene thought for a while and replied, "In my opinion, and depending on my past experiences of social interaction, no, it's not a mistake, but I think it might be a mistake now for some reason."
PSI said, "Is it a mistake or not?"
"Yes, it's a mistake, but tell me the reason, PSI."
"You're really turning into a man. You see, the difference between a boy and a man is that a boy has a little knowledge of the world, a little experience, and little perception of the world. And when knowledge is little, it can be a curse to humans, making them blinded by it. As for your answer, when a man asks someone, especially a lady, for help, he makes it super easy for them to help because they are not obligated to do it. Even if they are a man—a man is a man—there is no difference. He would still make it extremely easier."
Eugene widened his eyes and swallowed. "True. Yeah, I will never forget this. I will remember it for the rest of my life."
PSI said, murmuring, "You know, you don't have to."
As PSI was joking with Eugene, he saw a screen:

PSI saw the screen and thought, 'Am I leaving this world now? Is it over? Am I departing from Eugene and moving into another world, another vessel, another history, another biography of a person, another wish episode?'
'Let's hope for me that I get to live quietly, except this one—I didn't have time to even breathe, fighting day and night, wiping out soldiers. But thanks to my perseverance, instinct kicking in even at my lowest, I think I might have made a mistake in giving up and living a worse life than average just because the world pushed me down way worse than how I was before. If I persevered, I might have reached it. Maybe in the twenties or thirties—try it maybe in the tenth.'
'I think I get it. I wish you become happy, Eugene. I truly do feel like you can achieve even more than what I helped you achieve. Be the one to ultimately go down in the history of this world. I believe in you.'
'I got to say my final and last goodbye.'
'Let's wait until tomorrow. We might as well see what's going on with this lady and why he cares so much about her.'
'Let's end my last day in this world emotionally so when recapped it would give an awesome ending.'
He smiled. PSI, the one who is just wandering in someone else's life, just smiled. It sounds normal. It sounds grounded. It sounds weak.
For an episode that the gods will watch, after a lot of hard work, all those hard moments weren't in vain.
But that will only happen if this journey is recapped as episodes and movies for the gods to entertain them. The one who can actually make it look attractive and deserve the ending of a true story is them.
By gifting him the divine point that will make his journey worth watching.
A moment after, at a dining table... Eugene stands up. The princesses all laying their eyes on him. He took off the silver coat and put it on his chair.
He breathes in—at that moment, everyone felt the atmosphere changing. He went outside like a true king already...
Walking down the hall, he went straight into a room where the lady who he prefers to call mother is staying.
He stood right in front of the door. Eugene opened the door slightly. Before he even sees inside, his eyes blindly sparkled. Eugene understood everything in a matter of a second—as the vessel asking for a wish, he probably knows that his wish is fulfilled.
He tries to hold everything in, saying, "Thanks for your help. I sincerely thank you and wish you a blessed journey..."
Yet his eyes are filled with tears of sadness.
PSI didn't show any expression. He simply said, "It's your job from now on... Take care, kid."
PSI didn't notice that he wouldn't move straight into another world, another vessel—he wakes up in an empty space.
He screams, 'Anyone here?' No one was there except one thing... a shadow moving like the ocean sea, but targeting him like a snake.
Suddenly, the shadow jumps on him. PSI started suffocating.
As soon as he explodes his delusional enlightenment, he wakes up in another body, puzzled by his looks.
He wakes up to see a slim and fragile body, yet a sexy and confusing body.
