Reincarnation into the Barrier Master

When I woke up, the room was bright. It was already morning. Albe slowly gets up.

"Itete......"

He feels a stabbing pain in his legs and lower back. My muscles ache. He sighs loudly as he sits up in bed. Slowly he gets up, but every time he moves his body, the pain is worse.

Finally, you open the door and step out of the room. I see a group of beastmen, probably adventurers, coming down the hallway at a steady pace. They pass by without a second glance at Albe. Their backs seem to be filled with hope and dynamism. Albe let out a small sigh.

I wish I could have lived freely like that. At that moment, he realized his situation. That's right. My father is dead. I buried him with my own hands. I am now a free man, just like them.

I feel lighter. He managed to move his legs, which were not moving as fast as they should, and went down the stairs, where he saw what looked like a cafeteria. He could smell the delicious aroma of burning meat. At that moment, he felt an intense hunger.

He enters the cafeteria as if he is being drawn there. It is only then that he realizes that it is now time for lunch. At the counter, an elderly man kept his sharp eyes on the customers around him as if he was trying to intimidate them. In front of him, there were some of the beasts that had just passed in front of him. As I looked at them and wondered what they were doing, they took an empty seat with a tray of food.

Immediately behind them, a young adventurous-looking man stepped forward in front of the men carrying a tray. On the tray were several empty containers. The man, with a sharp look at the man, began to serve the meal into the empty containers with an expert hand using what looked like a large spoon. Apparently, the man must be the one to serve the meal here.

Albe picked up a tray nearby, put some empty containers on it, and went to the man. The dishes are placed one after another on the plate. But all the plates are not filled and the man stops moving. Albe stares at the man's face.

The man looks at Albe sharply, and then he cocks his chin. It was as if he was saying, "There is no more food for you.

I was angry. But in a contest of strength against strength, Albe had no chance. He left the place quietly.

He takes his tray and sits down in an empty seat. He took his tray and sat down in an empty seat, very close to the beastmen. They seem to be discussing which town they are going to. Perhaps because they are beastmen, they are all happily conversing with each other. Seeing this scene, Albe could not resist. This is the kind of friends he wanted. It was exactly what he had hoped for.

They were only a few meters away from each other. But their hearts are thousands of kilometers apart. Thinking of this, he puts the food in his mouth.

The food does not taste bad. But it was not a tasty meal. Still, it was enough to fill his stomach.

Albe gets up and goes to his room, trying to bear the pain in his body. He lies down on his bed again and looks absentmindedly at the ceiling.

He was a little lost. His original plan was to throw poison into the well. He was going to take advantage of the commotion in the town and escape to the neighboring country. If we did that, those beastmen might die. I felt that if I took their lives, I would never be able to get what I wanted again. A kindred spirit, a warm family ....... All these things can be had with money and fame. I feel my other self whispering this to me in my mind. In fact, my father was like that. He was surrounded by many people and always had a beautiful woman in his presence. ....... That's exactly what my father or the power of money and fame got him. That's what I'm going to be like. .......

As I was thinking about this, sleep came over me again. Albe stopped thinking and let the sleep take over.

He was so sleepy that he could not even think about it.

It was night when I woke up.

I sat up and looked around. I still felt pain in my body, but it seemed to be a little better than before. Maybe my body has become accustomed to the pain. With this thought in mind, he slowly gets out of bed.

He stands by the window and looks out. There was a star-filled sky. Without thinking, you open the window and lean forward to look at the sky.

There was one star that shined conspicuously. I believe it was the star representing the north. It is rare to see it so clearly. He gazed at the beauty of the starry sky for a while.

Suddenly, a feeling arose in him that he had to leave the inn right away. He remembered that he had to escape from the pursuers of Mas Aeon. It was a perfect situation to move in secret.

He took out his bag, removed two gold coins from it, and tossed them carelessly on the bed. With this much money, the shopkeeper would have no complaints. With this in mind, he puts his bag on his back and slowly opens the door.

There was silence and deep darkness, not a single sound. Suddenly, he saw a small light on the stairs. Albe goes down the corridor and steps down the stairs, trying not to make a sound. Leaving the inn, he walks quickly out of the town.

Then he continues on his way, with the star for north at his back. Strangely enough, the aches and pains he had felt in the morning were gone. However, after walking for a while, he gradually felt pain in his legs.

Still, he did not stop walking. He wanted to escape to the neighboring country before dawn. Then he felt a shock.

"Gah!"

He shouts out. The next thing I knew, the sky was full of stars. Suddenly, I heard something approaching my ears at a very fast speed. What is it?　At the moment I thought that, everything went black before my eyes.

"Aaah!　Are they human?"

A man's loud voice brought me back to myself. He seems to be holding my face with his hand. He is wearing leather gloves, and I can't help but smell the scent of some kind of animal.

The hand that had been roughly holding his face is removed. In front of me was the face of the beast. Albe recognized that face.

......The beastman he had seen at the inn.

It was the man who had been chatting happily with his friends in the inn's dining room just a few hours before. Why is this man here?　Albe's head was in turmoil.

"What kind of orc are you, at all ......?"

Just as he thinks he hears such a voice, he senses the presence of several people approaching. I looked closer and saw that they were the same beastmen I had seen during the day.

"If you've been able to travel this far alone, the orc pack must have gone far away by now, right?"

"Yes. That's a strong possibility."

"Why don't we pull out for the day?"

Such conversations are taking place above Albe's head. He just stared at the scene in amazement.

Suddenly, he felt light. The man on top of Albe's body broke away. The beasts leave the place without saying a word to Albe.

Slowly he gets up. You feel your heart beating very fast. He regulates his breathing. Just then, I hear the sound of running water. There seems to be a river nearby.

It is soon found. Abel takes off his clothes, puts on only his underwear, and walks into the river. The fact that he can hear the sound of running water is an indication that the river is shallow. My father taught me this knowledge.

I scoop water from the river with my hands and wash my face and body. I feel pain at every touch, I must have gotten an abrasion when I fell down. Thinking about this makes me angry.

Why should I have to go through this? ......Yes. Those beasties. It is because of them that I am in this situation. As I thought of this, the anger that had been swirling around in my heart turned into a desire to kill.

......I'll show you what happens when you make me angry.

Abel went to his bag in his underwear and took out some pill bottles from it. He also took out a small cup-like object and poured some liquid into it. Shaking it slightly to stir the contents, he poured the liquid into the river.

He quickly puts on his clothes. Then he walks off again toward the neighboring country. .......
