Part 1
I remembered everything when I got the spirit eye, the Jade Eye.
A future where I’d been used. I used Heal on the world and returned to the past. if nothing is done, that will simply repeat itself.
That is unacceptable. I must take immediate measures to avoid it.
“First of all, I’ll awake to my class in two days.”
There are two days left until my 14th birthday. At that moment, when I become an adult, I’ll awaken to my class.
Of course, I’ll get the Healer class. And not just that, the Hero class as well.
“Why do I have to be a Hero anyway?”
Only 10 people in the world can get the Hero class, chosen by the gods.
There are four main abilities that come with this extra class:
Strengthen the class’ abilities past the normal limits
All creatures have a level cap, but Heroes don’t
Double the amount of experience obtained for the Hero and their party.
Increase another’s level cap by performing a certain act
It’s a useful power, worthy of a Hero. There’s no doubt that the reason why I can use Imitation Heal, Transformation Heal and Corruption Heal is because I am a Hero.
Also, not having a level limit is also good. The usual cap is between level 20 to 30, but mine is infinite. I can become infinitely strong forever. A different dimension from ordinary people.
There’s also the experience boost. If my memories from my previous life are correct, the experience is doubled for every Hero. So, in a party with four Heroes, it’s 16 times the amount.
“Well, Flare should arrive a week from now.”
It seems that princess Flare, who has already awakened as the Magic Hero, has the ability to detect and search for a newly born Hero. This time as well, she’ll come to pick me up.
There are only 10 Heroes in the world. They’re a valuable firepower that countries simply can’t let go of.
As I walk through the woods, I start making my plans.
“First, escaping from Jioral Kingdom is impossible.”
There are two main reasons for that:
First, I can’t escape from Flare’s skill that can detect other Heroes. Even more so with a low level and no useful skills, I’d never be able to break through a siege from the royal family’s elite forces. If I really wanted to run away, I’d have to do something about Flare’s detection.
There can only be 10 Heroes in the world. That means that, if a troublesome Hero is born, it’s better for the royal family to kill them and wait for the birth of a new Hero.
Second, I want to use Imitation Heal on people with useful skills.
In the previous history, I couldn’t bear the pain of using Heal and ran away. But, once I was caught, they made me heal all the warriors who couldn’t be cured with an elixir.
It was a nightmarish experience, but it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to use Imitation Heal on all kinds of people with all kinds of skills.
Based on all this, there’s only one option I can take. Retrace history up until when I’m captured, take that chance to use Imitation Heal on as many people as I can and then escape. But obviously, there are hurdles in the way.
“I’ll need the Drug Resistance skill. If I just become an addict again, it’ll be the same as last time.”
I need the Drug Resistance skill so I can maintain my sense of self even while drugged.
And I’ll also need strength to escape. I want to raise my level, but there’s no need to worry. I have Looting Heal. As I use Imitation Heal, I’ll steal both the skills and levels.
Since that’s decided, I’m ready.
As I walk back to the village, I collect poison plants and mushrooms and put them in my bag.
The reason why it took me so long to acquire Drug Resistance in my previous life was because I surrendered to the pleasure of the drug. To acquire that skill, it’s necessary to resist the drug.
So I’ll train my resistance for the following week. By resisting it for that long, my proficiency will rise considerably. It’s impossible to get the skill in a single week, but with the accumulated proficiency and a strong mind, I’ll be able to get it in the not too distant future.
“It’s not fun to just run away. I’ll break Flare and take her away.”
In the previous world, she drugged me and turned me into a machine that simply healed.
So I’ll do the same. While escaping, I’ll kidnap Flare and use Transformation Heal on her.
But I’m not an oni either. The Flare of this world hasn’t harmed me, I can’t take revenge on her like that. If, by some chance, she doesn’t try to break me, I’ll let her go.
But, if she tries to break me again, I’ll take revenge on her. I’ll teach that woman how it feels to be used as livestock.
With those thoughts, I ingested just enough poison plants to not die. Sometimes, I used a poison to counteract the other while I avoided the monsters and continued walking.
Part 2
It’s been two days since I got the Jade Eye.
I’m getting used to the poison. When I go to the river to drink water, I’m surprised with my own reflection. Sunken cheeks and hollow eyes.
Maybe I exaggerated a bit. No, it’s fine. It won’t be effective if it’s not this much.
Looking up at the sky, the full moon was shining brightly. Suddenly, I feel a burning pain on my right hand.
“Is it here?”
A geometrical crest has been engraved on the back of my hand. The Hero mark. I was chosen as a Hero again. I should also have awakened to my class now.
I look at the surface of the water and strain my eyes. The Jade Eye I obtained from the spirit starts glowing.
Originally, the status can’t be seen without an expensive tool called an Appraiser. But I can see it by using the Jade Eye.
Race: Human
Name: Keyaru
Class: Healer / Hero
Level: 1
Status:
MP: 12/12
Physical Attack: 5
Physical Defense: 6
Magical Attack: 7
Magical Defense: 8
Speed: 7
Abilities:
Healing Magic level 1
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.
Being able to check the status with just my eye, without needing tools, is convenient. Especially since I can use Imitation Heal to steal skills.
With this, I can identify people with good skills and use Imitation Heal on them and copy the skill. And the power of the Jade Eye doesn’t end here. Up until here is only what an Appraisal can show, but the Jade Eye can see even further.
Level Limit: ∞
Talent Values:
MP: 110
Physical Attack: 50
Physical Defense: 50
Magical Attack: 105
Magical Defense: 125
Speed: 120
Total Talent Value: 560
Level cap and talent values.
Every creature has a maximum level value they can reach. By looking at this, you can see what someone is truly capable of. It doesn’t matter how high your status is,if your level cap is 10, then it’s useless.
But what’s important is your talent values. Your status comes from your level and talent values.
If your talent is low, you won’t be strong no matter how much you level up.
I’m a Healer, so my physical talents are low, but everything else is high.
No matter how strong a Hero is, it’s hard to fight alone. With this Jade Eye, I’ll be able to find people with talent.
“Got the Healer and Hero classes, I’m preparing for Drug Resistance and I have the Jade Eye. Everything’s ready, all that’s left is to trace history. It’s funny, I hated Flare so much, but now I’m looking forward to meeting her.”
I’m praying. Praying that this world’s Flare is also a piece of shit. Then, I’ll be able to take revenge without hesitation. I’ll cherish her as my cute little pet.
With a faint smile, I stood up and started walking. One step at a time, heading towards revenge.
