Chapter 89


People, or any living thing, are bound to be afraid of death.

Unless you are someone who has completely lost the will to live, it goes without saying that life is very precious.

<The Last Heart> was an item more valuable than anything else, giving one more precious life.

If <The Last Heart> comes up for auction, all the rich and powerful people in the world will run with red eyes .

Why is this coming from this guy?

Otto was puzzled that Ego had given him <The Last Heart>.

Well, I guess thats possible.

But there was nothing particularly strange.

Originally, <The Last Heart> had a very, very low probability of dropping during gameplay, and the path to it was randomized.

They came out of chests he opened without thinking, or were dropped by goblins out of nowhere.

It was an item for which there was no information whatsoever other than whether it could be obtained with a very low probability.

Even him as Kim Dojin back then had never gotten his hands on one, so he only knew it existed because of screenshots posted by other gamers.

Why are you giving me this precious thing? Its an item of value that cant be exchanged for hundreds of millions of gold.

Honestly, how much is a small persons life worth?

What do you mean, life is precious, isnt it?

Of course, life is precious to the small person himself. However, I dont think the price of life is the same for a small person.

Hmm.

It was a risky statement, so Otto didnt argue, but listened to Egos story.

I was born a goblin, a small man, and Ive been scorned and discriminated against in the world of men.

I know.

If there is a wish for a small person It is a world where many races live together without unreasonable discrimination. Unfortunately, a small person does not have the ability to create such a world. So I was looking for a monarch who could fulfill my wish.

Oh?

But in countries that already exist, it is very difficult to create a world that small people want. How can we change the already deeply rooted sense of discrimination and culture just because one small person tries? But your Highness is different. Your Highness is the one who can create such a world.

Ah!

Otto realized what Egos intentions were in giving him the incredibly valuable item called the Last Heart.

The Cause.

Ego, the goblin merchant, had given Otto the Last Heart for the sake of his dreams.

In other words, he deemed Ottos life more valuable than his own.

Plus, he was the monarch of an emerging nation, so he was the perfect person to capitalize on the egos desires.

Your Majesty, I implore you to fulfill a small mans dream.

You put so much faith in me Ill make sure to repay you.

But the truth is, the Egos wishes werent that hard for Otto to fulfill.

This is completely free?

Because Otto had [Scripture of Reconciliation], he was able to convince the people to stop their discriminatory attitudes.

In fact, there was little discrimination based on ethnicity or status in what is now the Kingdom of Lota.

Because the people share and pursue the same values as Otto, a conflict-free society was created.

Thank you for the gift, and I look forward to working with you in the future.

I trust you, Your Majesty.

And with that, Otto ended his journey through the Haver Prairie with the most valuable item in the world: the Last Heart.

* * *

Once Otto gained control of the Khabar steppes, the Magritte kingdom collapsed in on itself.

No longer able to fend off nomadic invasions, the king and his royal family had been taken captive, leaving the kingdom without a ruler.

Otto decided to take all of the royalty, including the king, to the Kingdom of Lota to be used as pawns.

It would be difficult to swallow the entire Magritte Kingdom right away, so he planned to absorb and merge it slowly.

The result.

[Notification: Level 111 reached!]

[Notification: Level 112 reached!]

[Notification: Level 113 reached!]

.

.

.

[Notification: Level 120 reached!]

In return for taking hegemony over the Haver Prairie and taking over the Kingdom of Magritte, he rose a whopping 10 levels at once.

[Alert: Youve reached level 120 and have access to the new powers of the Invincible Emperor in the Sanctuary!]

On the way back to the Kingdom of Lota.

Good

Otto smiled when he saw the notification window that he could acquire new powers.

Now that he can use <Poison Gaze> and learn another skill system, it goes without saying that Otto have become stronger.

Once I get back, Ill rest, then go to Sanctuary and start to learn the skill.

Otto thought so, and kicked King Magrittes butt in front of him.

Kkuwaek!

Hey, why cant you walk faster, dammit?

S-sorry! Gasp! Yes ah, but its so hard Huff!

Why does anyone want to be so fat?

Just then.

Your Majesty, your Majesty!

From a distance, a wandering knight who looked like a beggar ran towards him and shouted.

Your Majesty, please take me with you, Your Majesty, I didnt defect!

Who are you?

Y-Your Highness..

Do you know me?

Its Qasim, Qasim, did you really forget me?

At that moment.

Who was Qasim?

Otto racked his brain for a moment, trying to remember who the hell this wandering knight was.

Youre the magic swordsman who went missing when, Elder Quran plummeted.

Camille, who couldnt bear the scene, gave Otto a hint.

Ah.

Otto nodded, suddenly remembering who Qasim was.

I know, of course I know.

Are you sure you remember me?

Of course! Haha hahahaha.

You know, I was really worried about you. I swear I was very concerned.

but the truth was, Otto had completely forgotten about Qasims very existence.

In the rush of the situation, he had completely forgotten about Qasim because he was running this way and that.

But what happened? You look like youve been through a lot.

Qasim had been through so much, it was almost as bad as being a beggar.

Yes, Your Majesty, Im.

Qasim told Otto about what had happened.

According to Qasim, he found himself in a nest in a wyvern habitat.

So he was about to be eaten by the baby wyverns, but as he ran off and fled this way and that, he stumbled upon a black egg.

So?

Well, it turns out that this black egg was actually the egg of a black wyvern.

A black wyvern is the leader of a wyvern pack and is extremely rare.

So you took the egg hostage and somehow survived while running away?

Yes, Your Highness.

Thats good, you were very lucky.

Its all thanks to your highnesss concern!

Of course! I was so worried!

Otto felt a little guilty, but tried to look as concerned as possible.

Anyway, youve been through a lot, and Im glad to see youre okay.

Thank you! Hahaha!

But.

Otto said, pointing to the ostrich-sized egg in Qasims arms.

I think the egg is broken?

What?

Its cracked?

Then.

*Crack! CRACK!*

The egg began to fracture.

Huh?

Qasim exclaimed in surprise.

*Crack, crack, crack, crack!*

Meanwhile, the cracks in the eggs surface grew more and more severe, and soon the head of a young wyvern popped out.

It had hatched while Qasim was running away with it in his arms.

Kkiik! Sqreee!

The Black Wyvern hatchling, just out of the egg, looked around at the unaware subject, then flopped into Qasims arms.

Then it spread its dainty little wings and opened its mouth.

It was like a newborn baby bird asking its mother to feed it.

I guess it thinks of you as a mother?

Yeah..?

Shouldnt we go pick up a bug or something similar from somewhere?

..

No, its a wyvern, you have to feed it meat.

Then.

*Swoosh!*

An ethereal light enveloped Qasim.

It was a light that only Otto could see.

Class Effect?!

That ethereal glow is what happens when an ordinary NPCs potential blossoms and they become a hero, or when they change classes.

That means

[Notification: <Qasim> has acquired a new class!]

[Alert: Qasim has obtained the <Wyvern Tamer> class, thus making him a dual class!]

<Tamer> is a class that tames and trains non-intelligent creatures.

This meant that Qasim could now specialize in taming wyverns.

He was a magical swordsman by trade, skilled in both magic and swordsmanship.

[Notification: Depending on the level of growth, you can change jobs from Wyvern Rider to Wyvern Lord!]

Uh Qasim?

Yes?

First of all, Im going to give you a star, and youre the Chief of Staff of the Air Force starting today.

And so Qasim was honored with a star and promotion to brigadier general () for picking up a single egg.

Really? Are you sure about this?

Well, youre going to be a wyvern rider, so its the Air Force.

T-thank you, Salute!

Haha! Salute! Youre welcome!

Meanwhile

Uh your majesty?

Realizing something was amiss, Qasim turned to Otto.

With all due respect were there ever any Air Force troops in your country?

No?

Yes?

Brigadier General Qasim is the first Air Force unit.

.

We can make up the rest later~

With that, Otto brushed past the dazed Qasim.

Oh, we do have Unit 0, but its in pretty bad shape.

Otto said, glancing toward the back of the line.

There, Camille and Quran were talking.

Senior, its not okay if you keep asking for food like that. Just a little while ago.

Who are you?

As Otto said, Unit 0 was in very bad condition.

* * *

The fall of the Magritte Kingdom and the rise of the Kongurat tribe to supremacy in the Haver Prairie received little attention.

The incident itself happened on the edge of the continent, and the current situation on the continent was so chaotic that no one paid attention.

But it wasnt like there were no people who were interested.

One of the prominent figures among them was Julius, the owner of <Oberhauser Merchants>

Incredible.

Julius read the freshly posted report, and was honestly impressed.

The report was quite detailed, detailing recent events in the area, the direction of travel of each factions troops, and even the outcome of the battle.

I had no idea that Otto de Scuderia was so resourceful..

Julius revised his assessment of Otto.

The last time he met him at the Kuntachi familys party, Julius thought he was just one of countless prospects, but as he analyzed this incident, it turned out to be beyond his imagination.

Gaius.

Julius looked back at his brother, who was five years apart from him.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Gaius dropped to one knee and awaited Julius orders.

For the time being, investigate the whereabouts of Otto de Scuderia, and cultivate closer ties with House Kuntachi, for he may be a candidate to be our vessel.

Yes, venerable one.

  1. Ego is stating that although Life is precious, to those in the minority or the lowest of the low people, they never think of their lives as something precious.
