Grave Keeper of the Fallen Kingdom

It’s been a week since I’ve been eating and sleeping in Decane.

So far, my daily life has been almost the same.

In the morning, I walk around Decane to train my physical strength by running, then I go upstairs and look at the graveyard before starting training.

– The basics of Havenberg swordsmanship are cutting and stabbing, blocking and dodging.

It was a very different way of training than I thought.

In a way, he swung his sword in the same way to the point of being ignorant.

[Havenberg sword skill proficiency increases by 0.0002%.]

[Havenberg sword skill proficiency increases by 0.0001%.]

[Havenberg swordsmanship… … .]

It wasn’t for nothing that my ancestors said it would take a long time.

My skill level didn’t really go up.

The trace of the sword that I could be recognized by my ancestors did not appear again.

I guess I was really lucky

It wasn’t easy to get that sense back after a break.

‘He’s a really great person.’

My ancestor’s passion for the sword was beyond my imagination.

It wasn’t just his innate senses and outstanding temperament that made him the best swordsman.

He constantly thought about the sword to study and develop.

Learning from him directly made me feel it more.

Sincerity about the sword.

After all, the title of the best swordsman in the history of the continent was not something anyone could have.

– Take a break.

“yes.”

I slumped down and let out a heavy breath.

I leaned my back against the tombstone next to me, wiping the beads of sweat from my forehead.

– John Levan –

I am the owner of the tombstone I am now sitting on.

He said he was a pretty great martial artist.

To the extent that if he fought naked, even Havenberg Arsen would say that he was no match for him.

You might think how a swordsman beats a martial artist without a sword, but Havenberg Arsen was no ordinary swordsman.

In the first place, the martial arts talent itself was enormous. It is said that tolerable martial artists were no match for him.

But John Levan was different.

[Spiritual power is insufficient.]

[John Revan’s spirit cannot be awakened.]

A message popped up.

cat’s eye.

These are the eyes that can see the specter dwelling in the tomb.

But the sleeping ghost cannot be seen.

I thought I wanted to see John Levan’s soul, so a phrase appeared saying that I couldn’t wake him up.

It seemed that they could awaken their souls if their spiritual power increased.

‘Spiritual power must be related to the soul.’

The duration of the decree was also related to spiritual power, and waking up other specters was the same.

Except for the ancestors, none of the remaining 16 souls could be awakened with the current spiritual power.

‘I think I need to increase my spiritual power quickly, but I don’t know how.’

“Lee Een!”

I heard my mother’s voice outside the Decane.

Today, it seems that her mother, not Lesia, climbed the mountain herself.

“I’m here!”

He waved his hand over his head and called for his mother.

The mother had a large cloth in both hands.

Maybe lunch for me.

“Oh, look at the sweat. Is your job that hard?”

“no. I was just doing some exercise.”

“I brought something to eat here, so eat it.”

They ate meat and vegetables on skewers like crazy.

Since my mother is very dexterous with her hands, she is also very good at cooking.

Better than going somewhere else to eat.

“What is Lecia doing?”

“You know, isn’t he very smart? Last time I happened to be checking documents in the royal family, and the administrative assistant took me to see my ability to work.”

“yes? ah… … .”

I remembered.

I hadn’t thought about this since I had returned and lived so frantically.

‘You asshole!’

At this time, Lecia shows outstanding ability under the administrative assistant and enters the administration.

Administrative aides are excellent at work, but lack the ability and power to live.

Working under him isn’t bad in itself. No, it can be said that he is much better than the other dark insiders of the royal family.

I’m just doing clerical things.

However, while working within the royal family, Lesia caught the eye of a noble belonging to the Privy Council.

The old man, full of s*xual desire, tries to seduce Lecia, but gets rejected and starts torturing her and our family like crazy.

After that, the catastrophe of our family began.

I don’t know if the power of the administrative assistant was strong, but he didn’t have a good power, and he didn’t protect Lesia in the end.

‘Tsk… … .’

Nobles belonging to the Privy Council are not Brilliant Nobles.

He is an aristocrat of the desired empire. You can’t argue with the royal family, but there’s nothing Brilliant can do about it.

In the process of Brilliant surviving with the help of neighboring countries, Brilliant’s power was torn to shreds.

The result is this.

‘It can’t be helped.’

The power of the Privy Council is considerable. It was best to stay out of sight of the old man in the first place.

‘Yes, because I still have quite a bit of time.’

It is not too late to think of countermeasures from now on.

It takes two more months to enter the administration, and after that, it takes a few more months for the old man to notice and happen.

In the first place, it would have been better to tell Lesia to pass the test by pretending to be unable to work, but that was not possible.

You can’t just say, ‘I’ve returned from the future, don’t go to the administration because of something like this’, isn’t it?

In addition to that reason, Lesia wanted to work for the royal family in the first place.

I’ve been saying for a long time that I want to show my ability to the world, but how can I tell you not to do it?

As an older brother, I’d rather assassinate the old man.

‘uh? for a moment… … , isn’t that bad?’

It might not be bad if you develop your skills well in the meantime… … .

“Are you done?”

“Yes, I ate well.”

Even while I was lost in my thoughts, I worked hard and finished my meal happily.

“Are you going down now?”

“yes. let’s go together.”

Today is the day to submit management reports to the royal family.

After talking with my mother and going down the mountain, I went back to the royal castle and my mother went home.

Entering the castle, I was finally able to receive the good news.

“Sit down.”

“yes.”

The protocol aide, who is busy every day with various miscellaneous duties in the castle, finally checked my report.

Should I be happy about this or should I be annoyed?

“Didn’t you say last time you needed someone to protect Decane?”

“yes. you’re right.”

“A grave robber is here?”

“yes.”

Looking at his expression as he checks the documents with indifferent eyes, I have a bad feeling.

“First of all, it is impossible to deploy personnel higher than the level of knights to protect Decane.”

“yes? But the opponent used sword skills!”

In fact, it was just a little bit of qi from the sword, which was funny to say it was a sword skill, but I managed to release the qi from the sword anyway.

so I cried

Because the level of being able to release ki from a sword is usually a knight’s level.

“wren. They say your family’s ancestors are buried there, but you shouldn’t lie.”

The protocol aide clicked his tongue and shook his head.

“What are you talking about?”

“So you’re saying you kicked out a knight-level grave robber?”

I was at a loss for words at that moment.

what should i say about this

It can’t be said that I won the swordsman expression master… … .

“that is… … .”

“I understand your feelings, but from now on, if you post a false report like this again, they won’t look at it.”

“sorry.”

I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut at his logical rebuttal.

The protocol aide let out a short sigh and showed me a document.

“It’s not like a knight, but I’ll send you a semi-knight.”

“Is that true?”

I called for joy in my heart.

He insisted that if he asked for a knight’s rank, he might be able to give it a lower level, but it worked.

‘What’s wrong with this salty guy?’

I urgently checked the documents.

Name: Rayman

Age: 18

Rank: Lieutenant

He was a commoner, with no chance of becoming a knight.

‘I guess so. Most of the Brilliant’s quasi-knights are slaves due to lack of manpower.’

Since the situation in the Brilliant Kingdom was so bad, there were some cases where even among the commoners, if they looked strong and strong, they would take them and teach them roughly how to use their swords.

Fortunately, the sword seemed to handle quite well.

The evaluation of swordsmanship was not bad.

rather it went well From my point of view, he was a much better opponent than the aristocratic quasi-knight.

Aren’t nobles extremely difficult to deal with?

“But I guess there was some discord among your colleagues?”

“… … There must have been a slight quarrel.”

“ah… … .”

I checked the documents and tried to laugh, but I tried to hold it back.

This was an obvious demotion and punishment for Rayman.

It was clear that there was friction with the nobility and then it was filmed.

Then it is.

“thank you.”

“Yes, I will use it as an assistant shooter for you, the cemetery manager.”

“You mean the adverb?”

“Do you like it?”

“No? I liked it so much that I was thinking about how to say thank you. hahahaha.”

“… … Good luck.”

I said thank you several times and left the castle.

Well, that might be quite sad for Rayman, but not for me.

I had more and more things to do, and I was in a situation where even two bodies were not enough, but it went well.

It’s not about protecting Decane, it’s about being incorporated here as an adjunct shooter.

“Whoops… … , Didn’t you say you would send it today?”

After coming down from the castle, I washed my dirty body for a week, had a brief chat with Lesia and Jennon, and climbed back up the Decane.

“uh?”

There were traces of someone entering Decane.

no way? I hurriedly ran to my heart, and let out a sigh of relief.

The quasi-knight the ceremonial aide had talked about earlier had arrived.

A tall, ruggedly handsome appearance.

Even though she was wearing clothes, her rather stocky body was not hidden.

“Are you Mr. Rayman?”

I asked him in a respectful manner just in case.

“Yes. Is that the gravekeeper here?”

“… … Ah, yes.”

I was dumbfounded, so I couldn’t speak for a moment.

Contrary to what it looks like, it is a very playful and perverse horse.

I felt like I already knew why this kid had such a feud.

He barely managed to hide his contorted expression and smiled.

‘Let’s wait. good good go I won’t even support anyone other than this bastard.’

Now that I’ve confirmed that it’s Rayman, there’s no need to raise my words any further.

That guy is a commoner, and I’m a noble no matter what. Well, he’s an illegitimate child, so he’s not particularly treated as aristocrat.

I reached out to him.

“This is Len Argen. He will be your future shooter.”

“Rayman.”

“But why are you so short?”

What is this ignorant guy talking about to me, who is old, has a high status, and a high rank?

“We’re going to be together anyway, so what’s wrong with speaking casually?”

Such a goblin footwrap.

The words almost came out.

‘after… … , let’s calm down.’

Even one manpower is in a desperate situation.

Let’s not get too emotional.

“Does this happen to other nobles as well?”

“under! What would you like to be treated for? On the subject of being a clumsy gravekeeper.”

He has a knack for overshadowing the promise he made a few seconds ago.

I exercised superhuman patience and persevered.

I thought I knew why this bastard had this attitude.

Just ignore it as a gravekeeper.

– What a spectacle.

I heard the voice of my ancestors from behind.

At times like this, my heart goes through again.

“The 17 heroes who protected the continent are sleeping here. The reason why you are alive like this is because of them-”

“shut up! What kind of old-fashioned old man nagging you? There doesn’t seem to be much of an age difference.”

My current age is twenty-one, but my age in my previous life is well over thirty.

Such a young guy… … .

“Anyway, managing the cemetery is something you have to do too. Ignoring the gravekeeper is a disgrace to your face.”

“What are you talking about? I’m a knight! It’s not like a gravekeeper!”

Ai-san, I have a lot of work to do, but what the heck, a slugger like this came.

My patience has reached its limit.

“under… … . what knight are you A worm-like baby. Do you think a quasi-knight can fight with a knight?”

“Bur, a bug?”

I heard a lot of words from my ancestors that I was a bug, so it stuck in my mouth.

I think I know why he did it that way when he said it.

– Even bugs are a waste.

That’s right. I’m a bug, but he’s not even a bug… … , well is it just garbage?

“Have you ever heard a compliment about handling a sword? don’t be shy Because guys like you are all over the world.”

“Who are you to say such a thing? A bastard who can’t even properly wield a sword even after receiving the name Arzen!”

“what? Fool?”

Aren’t words too harsh?

Even my ancestors didn’t call me a double-headed man.

I guess I need to remodel the mind of this spoiled bastard.

It would be nice if someone with such pride in his sword could be beaten with a sword, but could I really win?

Thanks to swinging the sword all week, his swordsmanship has improved considerably, but it is still lacking.

‘Please help me.’

I looked at my ancestors with earnest eyes.

– What a pitiful bastard. I still don’t have the confidence to beat that piece of trash. Tsk, raise your sword.

At that, his face, which was about to burst into laughter, changed to a solemn one and said to Rayman.

“Shall we make a bet?”

“bet?”

“okay. Let’s stick together with a sword. How about the one who loses becomes the other’s slave? Let’s do everything you ask.”

“under! He wasn’t an asshole, he was a madman.”

“why? Are you afraid of losing? I’m an asshole who can’t even use a sword. Of course you will win, right?”

Rayman’s face contorted and his teeth gnashed, as if his pride had been hurt by my provocation.

“good. sword show. I will cook you.”

“Kuh, yes. Let’s do it.”

Laughter flowed out.

A quasi-knight trying to get along with the continent’s strongest swordsman.

How could it not be funny?
