Part 1
Thanks to the Drug Resistance and my hatred for Flare, I was able to come back to my senses.
It was a dangerous bridge to cross, so much so that cold sweat ran down my back. But there were two reasons why I had to let this happen to me.
Even I wouldn’t be able to endure the pain without pain resistance, so I needed to depend on the drugs for a while. I needed the drugs so I could keep using Heal until I gained pain resistance.
The other reason is that I needed a motive for revenge. Even if the first Flare treated me badly, this time’s Flare hadn’t done anything against me yet. It wouldn’t be aesthetically pleasing to take revenge on her like that.
In reality, I could have met Flare’s expectations and built up a good relationship. If I showed the true power of Heal, I could have easily gained Flare and the king’s favor.
But I didn’t want that. It wouldn’t have cleared my resentment.
Besides, even if I kept healing the people Flare told me to, my actions would still be limited and I wouldn’t be truly free. It would just be a different kind of prison.
That’s why I traced history so far. Thanks to that, I gained pain resistance, built up my strength and gained a motive for revenge.
“You’re slow. Hurry up you stupid.”
Flare, who was walking in front of me, said so in an unpleasant voice.
I follow Flare out of the basement and arrive at the Lainala room. We’re moving out of the dungeon to heal someone Flare had selected. From her conversation with the old man, the head of magic research, I know that it’s the alchemist that will be healed this time.
I’m thankful. His abilities in alchemy will be really useful, so I’d definitely like to learn it.
“I want to finish quickly and go to the bath. This dog’s smell is already impregnated in me. I’ll have to throw away this dress.”
As usual, Flare has quite a venomous tongue when there’s no one around. So you don’t like my smell, huh? I’ll be sure to soak you in it later, all the way to your insides.
I thought that, but I kept quietly following her like I’d been ordered to.
Part 2
We arrived at the Lainala room, the same room where I healed Kureha.
It seems Flare really wants to show this place off, since we use this room quite frequently.
The alchemist was missing both arms. Considering the wounds were carbonized, it was probably an accident during an experiment rather than a wound from a fight with an enemy.
Flare and the alchemist were smiling at each other as I watched them quietly. She introduced me as a quiet person. Not a bad excuse.
Since they aren’t paying attention to me, I’ll check the alchemist’s status with my Jade Eye.

Skills:
Metal Tempering Magic Ability Improvement level 2: Alchemist skill. Reduction in MP cost and increase in accuracy.
Blacksmithing Ability Improvement level 1: increase concentration and accuracy when using the Blacksmithing ability.
This alchemist seems to be named Wachilda. Most of his talents are only slightly above average. His level limit isn’t really high. But what makes him an important person is his rare class of Alchemist, and the alchemy only those who have that class can use.
You could even say that alchemy magic is all-purpose magic.
Blacksmithing, compounding, it encompasses everything needed for alchemy.
Extracting active ingredients from materials, stirring, separating, heating, melting metals, pressuring, depressurizing, etc. Anything is possible depending on the user’s ideas. That’s why I definitely want it.
As long as I can’t increase my abilities with skills, I would never be able to win against an actual magician. That’s why I want this magic, whose power is dependent only on knowledge.
Since I’ve decided to use only 1 slot for magic, alchemy is a must.
Yes, there’s a limit to the skills I can copy with Imitation Heal. This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
I can accumulate knowledge as much as I want, but I can only copy 5 skills at once. That’s my body’s limit.
Maybe it’ll increase as I raise my level, but for now it’s only 5. But, so long as the experience and knowledge remain vivid in my mind, I can freely swap the skills. From my experience, the time I can keep skills on my mind without using them is at most 1 month after I use Imitation Heal.
Choosing just 5 is troubling. The Sword Saint’s skills of Divine Sword and All-Seeing are a must, so is Alchemy Magic. That only leaves 2 slots to be swapped depending on the situation.
While I was thinking, it seems that the conversation between Flare and the alchemist ended. She instructed me to use Heal.
Pretending to be a dog on a leash, I use Heal as I’m told.
Of course, behind the scenes, I gain skills with Imitation Heal and steal experience with Looting Heal. The alchemist’s skills are now ingrained into my body.
Not just that, the experience filled up and my level went up. Thanks to the pain resistance, the side effects of Heal are on a bearable level. I’ll be able to use Heal without worry from now on.
I’ll check my status later. Without knowing my actual strength, I won’t be able to make any plans.
After that, we parted ways with the alchemist and I was thrown back into the dungeon. As a reward, I was given a lot of drugs. They were even kind enough to throw it on my face and spit at me.
I’m starting to think Flare is abusing me not due to disgust, but because she actually likes it.
What a good hobby. I plan to give it all back to Flare, so really she’s just digging her own grave without knowing it. She’s done so much for me I’ll be troubled to keep her sane by the time I’m done.
Well, it doesn’t really matter. If Flare breaks, I’ll fix her with Heal. I won’t let her escape.
After Flare left, I used Heal to fix my drug dependency and start thinking of a plan with my now properly working head.
Even my sense of time is fuzzy. Eventually, something that looked like dinner was brought to me.
A piece of bread floating on soup. There’s no knife or fork, they really want me to eat with my bare hands. They’re really treating me like livestock.
But I’m thankful for the soup. I’m able to look at my own reflection in it and use my Jade Eye. The guards aren’t looking in my cell, so there’s no problem.
Race: Human
Name: Keyaru
Class: Healer / Hero
Level: 29
Status:
MP: 133/133
Physical Attack: 34
Physical Defense: 34
Magical Attack: 66
Magical Defense: 78
Speed: 75
Level Limit: ∞
Talent Values:
MP: 110
Physical Attack: 50
Physical Defense: 50
Magical Attack: 105
Magical Defense: 125
Speed: 120
Total Talent Value: 560
Abilities:
Healing Magic level 2
Divine Sword level 4
All-Seeing level 4
Metal Tempering Magic level 4
Ground Shrinker level 3
Serene level 2
Skills:
MP Recovery Rate Increase level 1: Healer skill. MP recovers 10% faster.
Healing Ability improvement level 1: Healer skill. Adds a positive correction to Healing Magic.
EXP increase: Hero exclusive skill. Doubles the values of EXP for you and your party.
Level Limit Breakthrough (self): Hero exclusive skill. No level limit.
Level Limit Breakthrough (others): Hero exclusive skill. By giving body fluids with magic power, there’s a chance the other party’s level cap will be increased by 1.
Even while I could barely think due to the drugs, I kept using Looting Heal and increasing my level. As a result, I’m now level 29. 29 is close to the cap a normal person usually gets.
About skills, it seems my healing magic leveled up as well. Other than the Sword Saint and Alchemist skills I fixed for myself, I also added Ground Shrinker and Serene, since they seem useful and I still remember them.
The skills’ levels are 1 level lower than those of Kureha or Wachilda, but that’s just how it is with Imitation Heal. It copies the skill, but lowers the level by 1.
Out of those other 2 skills, Ground Shrinker lets me use high-speed movement and Serene puts me into a state of deep concentration and it also accelerates my thoughts. They are both really useful.
As long as there are no extreme circumstances, I should probably keep those 5 skills. But, depending on the situation, Ground Shinker and Serene can be changed for something else.
“But, even if my skills are good, the problem of my status remains.”
When I escape, I’ll be acting alone. No matter how hard I try, I probably can’t escape unharmed. I need at least a minimum amount of defense. As it is, a single blow could be fatal.
There’s also the problem of my offensive power. The instant death attack of Corruption Heal isn’t very effective in terms of MP usage. Even if I can replenish my MP with Looting Heal, I should still save as much MP as possible. There’s no guarantee I’ll get to use Looting Heal. Visit novelping . com for the full chapter.
In that case, the safest bet is to fight in close range. But the problem is that I have a magician based status. I’ll have to play around with it a bit.
“Transformation Heal.”
I optimize myself with Transformation Heal, making my talent values rise slightly. At most, the improvement is less than 10%, but it’s better than nothing. To improve myself further, I’ll need to do something else.
Race: Human
Name: Keyaru
Talent Values:
MP: 110 → 116
Physical Attack: 50 → 53
Physical Defense: 50 → 53
Magical Attack: 105 → 111
Magical Defense: 125 → 132
Speed: 120 → 126
Total Talent Value: 560 → 591
My body became properly stronger.
But this still isn’t enough. The parameters I need for physical combat haven’t even reached 60, which is the standard for ordinary humans. So I need to do Transformation Heal again.
I can’t raise my talents anymore, so I have to redistribute them. My MP and magic defense are a bit extreme right now, so let’s put that excess into physical attack and defense. My magic attack is also more than I need right now, but I want to keep it with at least 100, since it can affect the accuracy of Heal. I can’t mess with speed, since it’s the base of everything, and I’ll need it anyway.
So my optimal distribution right now is…
Race: Human
Name: Keyaru
Talent Values:
MP: 116 → 80
Physical Attack: 53 → 130
Physical Defense: 53 → 83
Magical Attack: 111 → 100
Magical Defense: 132 → 72
Speed: 126 → 126
Total Talent Value: 591 → 591
This is the ideal distribution for me to escape.
With this, even at level 29, I can escape this place.
But I still have to pay back Flare for everything she had done to me. I’ve decided that her punishment will be to lose herself and become my convenient tool. To do that, I’ll need 5 more levels. In other words, I only need 5 more levels.
The time for my revenge has been decided. After I get 5 more levels and the king leaves with his elite knights. At that moment, security will be weak. Until then, I just have to be patient. But perhaps not for too long.
Part 3
It’s been two weeks since I’ve regained my sanity. Since then, I’ve been living the worst life.
I’m forced to have sex with the people who want to raise their level cap. Naturally, men outnumber the women. The knights and adventurers are predominantly male.
My body became a toy for these men. Some of them even enjoyed fucking me, even though there’s nothing to be gained from it. Some even came just for that, they seem to enjoy young boys like me. They should all die.
But I endured it all. I resisted the urge to go mad and kept myself sane.
I didn’t mind being forced to use Heal on others. But, every time I did, princess Flare made sure to trample on my dignity. I can’t count on one hand the number of times I wanted to kill her on the spot. The only reason I was able to endure so far was because of this day.
For the past two weeks, all I could think of was how to get revenge on princess Flare in the most amusing way possible. I’ll do it brutally, gruesomely and with no mercy, until she begs me to kill her.
Even if she bites off her tongue, I’ll heal her instantly and continue!
After I’m done, I’ll erase Flare’s very existence, turn her into a cute pet, and make her live the rest of her life as my useful tool! I can do that with Transformation Heal!
It’s late at night now. Everyone is probably sleeping. In the darkness, my Jade Eye was shining.
The soldiers on guard are unprepared. They’d never expect me to escape.
“The time for patience is over.”
I learned that the king has left for another country this afternoon with his elite guards. I have the ideal abilities and I raised my level sufficiently.
I’m ready to escape and go to Flare’s room.
“Let’s get this party started. I’m coming to get you, Flare.”
I removed my collar with alchemy. Then, I melted the iron chain of the collar, poured it into the keyhole, cooled it down and made a makeshift key. Unlocking the jail was no problem at all.
If my objective was just to escape, I could just head outside like this. But I want to take revenge on Flare.
So I’ll go to Flare’s room now.
The time for revenge has begun! I left the jail and ran as fast as I could.
