I felt a strange pain in my body, the familiar feeling of water dripping from above and sludge clinging to me from below.
“Wasn’t the floor dry before?” I thought to myself, trying to open my heavy eyes, but the pain lingered, an ache like I just did 10 rounds and then a marathon a moment later…
[Are you feeling better?]
The tsundere voice of the fairy sounded. Does she think I missed her cute cries of “Rai!!!” “Rai!!!” before I lost consciousness?
Silly fairy…
But alas, it was the first time someone had shown worry for my well-being apart from my mother in god knows how many years…
“Ah, thank you for your concern…”
Somehow when I opened my eyes, the dark cave seemed…
Clear?
“Did you turn on the lights?”
[No…]
[But I felt you might need it, so I stole it from them…]
“Eh?”
“Stole what?”
[Their eyes…]
Immediately I tried to check my face on the muddy water below me, only to find it wasn’t water…
It was a mixture of strange lumpy meat and blood…
Disgusting, but at least it was cooked.
“I’m just checking, so don’t get angry, but you didn’t put their eyes inside mine, right? I kinda liked my eyes…”
[Idiot…]
[I just took their skill to see in the darkness and engraved it into your eyes… Although your pupils are a bit different now…]
She suddenly fluttered down, floating before my face, placing her small hands on the bones of my cheeks as she nodded after inspecting my eyes.
What was that proud look? Huh!
She was acting so awesome despite being useless!
[Looks more handsome than before… Good job me!]
“Oi!”
“Who cares about handsome? It can’t put food on the table!”
Her little eyes darted between my face and her palms like she couldn’t understand something.
The fairy always acted so dramatically that it was hard to calm down, even though I wanted to know how my body was.
The reactions she made attracted my attention too much!
[Did I make a mistake… Is his brain done for? He can’t be this stupid, right?]
She whispered, but I didn’t quite make it all out…
Or, I told myself to stop grabbing the little rat and forcing her to eat the cooked rat meat.
“Well, whatever…”
[???]
[Eh?]
[Are you a retard?]
[It can do if you are a male prostitute or model.]
Eternia puffed out her chest with pride—I won’t lie. She was quite cute…
“I had let it go, but you just had to keep going!”
Despite trying to grab her, she pulled out her tongue and flew out of my reach.
Because of the rapid movement, my waist, abs, and legs began to throb with a burning pain leaving me on the ground rolling in the filth due to the intense cramp that crippled me.
“Why are you trying to look cute, calling me a retard!?”
[Smelly bastard! I help heal you!]
[Look at my body! It’s fading!]
Somehow she seemed fainter than before, but I imagined that because she was useless and had low Ether efficiency.
Did I need healing? I remember beating the shit out of the Ratmen, though?
Oh yeah… what gains did I get from those losers?
-> Would you like to see the logs?
“Yes!”
I saw the cute fairy flying towards me as if trying to stop me from doing so, but once the mechanic voice that mimicked her’s began to play, she vanished like magic.

After spending all that money, his inventory had 3 items and 18 gold coins total, so he was rather glad.
“Hmmm… I should have less than 18, right?” He remembered buying the gloves cost him more…
As if on cue, the fairy appeared with a poof of pink smoke before she danced around with a delighted face and no longer looked sick.
“Why was I even worried…”
Yet his gold was even better now—he looked at the fairy-healthy Eternia, who was doing a strange pose and pushing out her chest and buttocks with a smug face.
[Fufu! I return!]
Although not as bad as before, Rai struggled to his feet—seeing the backlog and the thought that he was so close to death caused a sense of fear for him.
It seemed there were no revives or second chances like you would in a game.
Or maybe there was, but some penalty or punishment awaited him, so he wanted to avoid that route as much as possible.
[Are you okay, Rai?]
My eyes turned back to the tunnel, which I could see split into three different roads, and the distance I could see was amazing to the exit portal, and the other directions had 1-2 groups of Ratmen waiting.
“Ah, two things…”
“First, what is Ether Blight?”
[Simple or complex?]
There was no way I would listen to her cute voice lectures me for hours—it was bad enough when a 55-year-old man who was just divorced was advising on marriage.
How laughable!
“Simple.”
[You used too much mana and went into the negatives.]
[Brain gets sick]
[You die]
“Is it a certain amount or something as simple as -1?”
[Say you have 100 mana and you enter -50 mana, then you will start showing symptoms of Ether Blight]
She fluttered her wings before sitting on his shoulder, looking at him with her soft eyes, stroking his cheek as if worried he was still injured.
It was a strange relationship, and he didn’t want to disturb their balance.
So he just listened to her and didn’t stop her.
[If you hit -100 with only 100 mana… You would explode and become like these Ratmen below you]
“I see…”
He stroked his chin and thought about the message log before asking his second question.
“What is your Divine Nectar?”
[…]
Then for the third time, the world ended; Rai met both his grandmother and grandfather, who just looked at him with dead-fish eyes and said:
“You are hopeless, boy—how about you ride that boat into the light?”
