Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3)

But seeing him sleeping so deeply, I felt bad about waking him up.

Since I finished maintaining Sloth’s claws, I went to look for Wonmo.

Besides, he was still a baby, so he probably didn’t need claw maintenance yet.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

I checked the time.

‘I already finished everything I had to do…’

It was currently 4 in the afternoon.

Before long, it would be time for dinner.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

‘When will my fundamentals improve?’

If I studied them properly and practiced a little too, it would probably already be dinner time.

Until then, I could spend my time carefully reading Swordmaster’s posts.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

The fight against the Guardian made me realize something very clearly.

I’m surviving purely thanks to the power of my items.

I’m not one of those manga swordsmen capable of splitting rocks barehanded.

If I hadn’t had Heavenly Demon’s sword, I never would’ve been able to pierce the Guardian’s core.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

Curiosity got the better of me, so I wrote a post in the gallery.

Maybe some people really can cut stone without using mana.

But this is a fantasy world.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

WildGrills

Normally mana strengthens the body.

Title) Is it possible to cut stone with a sword without using mana?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

ㄴWildGrills) But even then, proper technique is still necessary, right?

ㄴHeavenlyDemon) It depends on the situation. afford If the dantian is completely destroyed, then yes, you would be no different from a normal person. artist But as long as the dantian remains intact, it’s possible to exert great strength even in a normal state.

A normal person can’t cut stone or split metal with a sword, right?

Then if you don’t have mana, are you basically just a normal person?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

ㄴHeavenlyDemon) Of course. alpha Strength without technique only ends up dispersing. arctic Technique exists to concentrate power into a single point.

ㄴHeavenlyDemon) Though I still haven’t perfected it, I can cut my enemies using only intent. sphere That is called the mental sword.

ㄴWildGrills) Then can you do it, Heavenly Demon?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

ㄴWildGrills) Don’t tell me that’s already Swordmaster level.

ㄴWildGrills) And what would be the standard for considering someone that strong?

ㄴSwordmaster) A level where you can use Aura Blade unconsciously. apron A level where mana even affects the body and slows aging.

ㄴSwordmaster) Ignore that last part from that old murim woman. accent Anyway, someone who reaches a certain level can probably do it because even their bare body becomes a lethal weapon.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

ㄴWe’re talking about people responsible for an entire country’s military power and they still get called mass-produced hahaha.

ㄴSwordmaster) Excluding mass-produced Swordmasters.

ㄴWhat do you mean by “mass-produced”? arch Hahaha. silence A Swordmaster is still a Swordmaster.

ㄴThis is all Ash’s fault. accent That woman made people call the other Swordmasters “mass-produced” JAJA.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

ㄴSwordmaster) Even so, if you keep constantly reading my posts, you’ll at least be able to master the fundamentals. aspect That much I can guarantee.

ㄴHeavenlyDemon) Considering your talent, it is not impossible. timber However, since you have no master to guide you, it will probably take quite a long time.

ㄴIf they were that common, anyone could become one;; All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

ㄴWildGrills) So it’s impossible with just basic fundamentals in the end?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

ㄴHeavenlyDemon) Everything depends on how it’s said. alien I honestly believe he will survive until the end.

ㄴHeavenlyDemon) Not necessarily. admire Martial artists become stronger the more they fight. agent You are trapped in a deadly land, so as long as you survive the crises, you will advance quickly.

ㄴSwordmaster) Heavenly Demon, that sounded more like “go and die” than advice;;

ㄴWildGrills) So growing rapidly in the short term is impossible after all.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

ㄴHeroDontThrowAway) There’s also another way to become strong quickly!

ㄴWildGrills) Which one?

ㄴWildGrills) Uh… well, I guess that counts as support. armor Thanks.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

ㄴWildGrills) I hate gods.

ㄴWildGrills) I was living peacefully and my parents died in an accident. advance After that I desperately struggled to keep living and ended up falling into the Four Seasons Forest. arcade Obviously I want to curse them.

ㄴHeroDontThrowAway) Believe in the Goddess! academy In Aris, the Goddess of War and Wisdom!

ㄴHeroDontThrowAway) W-What!? auction How can you say something so blasphemous?! auction Why do you hate them?!

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

ㄴYou just keep on blaspheming;;

ㄴWhat a miserable life, damn. august How can someone live like that? alert Hahaha.

ㄴModerator, are you a paladin or something?

All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

I don’t follow any particular religion.

The moderator’s words left me thinking.

ㄴHeroDontThrowAway) Something like that! academy Though I was temporarily expelled because of a small misunderstanding!

A god.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

Even before suddenly falling into the Four Seasons Forest, I did believe in the existence of gods.

But I’m not an atheist either.

If I was going to hate someone, it was better to hate a god than a person.

Because that way I could insult them freely.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

And if they punished me for insulting them? beacon Then I’d insult them even more for being so sensitive.

Believing in gods so I could hate them.

‘If nobody’s watching, people even insult the king.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

But thanks to that mindset, I was still stubbornly surviving, so it wasn’t so bad.

It was quite an ironic idea.

I feel like my mana is constantly increasing, but I can’t grasp even the slightest clue about how to use Aura Blade.

‘For now, the only answer is training.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

From the beginning, the mere fact that I could feel mana was already almost a miracle. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

If my origin is different, then maybe the training method should also be different.

Rather, it feels like I have too much mana and can’t control it properly.

I guess that’s because I’m someone who came from Earth.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

If I want to escape the Four Seasons Forest, I need to become stronger.

‘…This is going to take a long time.’

And learning Aura Blade could take an incredibly long time.

But to reach that level, I at least need to learn how to use Aura Blade.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

It seemed the moderator was still saying something to me, but I calmly ignored it.

I made that promise to myself while closing the gallery.

Therefore, I’ll have to assume that I’ll be living in the Four Seasons Forest for a very long time.

‘As long as I manage to escape someday, that’s enough.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

‘As if the gods are going to feed me.’

That blaspheming was wrong, that no matter how hard life was I shouldn’t insult the gods, and so on.

Judging by the way he spoke, he seemed like a very devout believer. crystal Maybe I shouldn’t have brought up the topic.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

Besides, in this world there are far more things to worry about before worrying about gods.

In fact, I consider sincere believers to be some of the most admirable people there are.

They are people full of sacrifice and devotion, so how could I hate them?

Ah, though that doesn’t mean I despise religious people.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

‘Thinking about it that way, the gallery is strange too.’

‘It’s not that I hate people.’

Of course, every now and then some bastard appears, but I’m not someone who gets trampled on easily either.

My parents were good people, and the people helping me now are too.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

Sometimes some strange lady appears, but the other races simply let it slide. artist Only the dwarves react.

Where I used to live, you could kill people not with weapons, but with words.

And yet, even though the gallery is full of desires and personal interests, there are relatively few personal attacks.

I know all too well the atrocities people can commit under the veil of anonymity.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

It’s similar with the beastkins.

When something is that extreme, it can only be seen as a difference in tastes.

I discreetly looked at the cave wall.

‘I want to go home.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

I feel like I haven’t done much, but time flew by.

Tomorrow would already be the tenth day.

I still haven’t explored very much, and on top of that beasts keep attacking me constantly, so my head hurts.

There was a large hand-drawn map spread across a white sheet. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.

I turned my gaze to the side.

‘Where should I go tomorrow?’

The river that was practically my lifeline.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

The area inhabited by the adult mandrakes.

The mushroom cave.

The orichalcum cave and the rest.

The lakeshore connected to that river.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

‘If I follow the river downstream, it all ends at the lake, so I should probably start from the source.’

Looking at it this way, I really had explored quite a lot of places.

I looked at the map while thinking carefully.

Though I discovered one of them purely by chance while searching for Wonmo after he ran away.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

Moving around the lake was impossible.

It was time to explore in a more organized way.

I would also need to place landmarks so I wouldn’t get lost.

If I was going to stay here for a long time, it would be best to examine everything thoroughly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

A river didn’t necessarily have to be a single stream.

That wasn’t a bad idea either.

If one of those giant crabs appeared, I’d die.

‘Or maybe I should follow the river upstream?’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

Downstream was the lake.

‘I should check what lies at the end of each river.’

Even in the upper part of the river, it could split into two or even several branches.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

After more or less organizing tomorrow’s plan, I checked the time.

But I didn’t know what was upstream.

It was better to follow a clear route rather than wandering around aimlessly.

It was almost five o’clock.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

“…….”

It was probably time to head up to the river and check whether any fish had fallen into the trap.

“I’m heading out for a moment.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

As always, I placed the metal gate there just in case.

I spoke to Sloth and left the cave.

After properly equipping myself, I headed toward the river.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

Just earlier today at noon, a pack of otters had appeared, so I needed to stay alert.

When I checked the trap, it had caught no less than three fish.

“What? audit Three?”

Splash. alpha Splash.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

One golden fish and two red fish.

‘Well, as long as it’s good, then better this way.’

It was hard to believe that was possible in such a short time.

The more food I had, the better.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

While pulling it out, I carefully watched the surroundings in case something attacked me.

Humming cheerfully, I lifted the trap.

Maybe the otters had smelled the blood from the fight earlier and were coming back.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

After collecting the trap, I ran back to the cave.

‘It’s better to return quickly.’

I even used mana because I was afraid something might chase me.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

Once inside, I threw the fish into the metal container.

Since there were three fish, the container ended up completely full.

If every day were like this.

‘Tomorrow I can eat one for breakfast.’

No. arrow What am I thinking?

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

‘Until I manage to escape.’

What matters is escaping quickly.

I shook my head firmly.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

Yes. august That mindset was much more appropriate.

Watching him approach with those sleepy eyes was far too adorable.

Wonmo, who had been napping, also seemed to notice that dinner time was approaching and slowly crawled out.

I went back to the river to place the trap again and then started preparing dinner.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

I gave one of the prepared fish to Wonmo and cooked the other one as usual.

Sizzleee—

It felt like my heart healed every time I saw him.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

Just a little salt and done, a delicious fish dish!

More than fish, it feels like eating premium beef.

No matter how many times I eat it, I never get tired of it.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

‘Why does it taste better than tiger meat?’

After dinner, I started practicing the breathing method.

Maybe because the tiger meat had been smoked.

I also didn’t forget to take the medicine AllFather gave me.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

After finishing everything, I started playing with Wonmo.

“Kyuuu! wizard Kyuu!”

Basically, I tied a piece of cloth to a stick and moved it around.

“Come on, Wonmo. galaxy Catch it.”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

I had seen many owners playing like this with their cats on YouTube. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

Thunk!

Wonmo wasn’t a cat, but I heard games like this helped develop hunting skills.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

“Kyua!”

Well, sometimes little accidents happened and we ended up crashing into each other, but I could handle it.

“Ugh!”

He was still a tiny baby.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

Although he had grown since the first time I saw him, he was still a baby.

I hugged Wonmo and rubbed against him before slowly letting him go.

“Hehehe.”

“Kyuuu! atlas Kyuu!”

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

‘I wonder what the gallery is doing.’

It felt like the loneliness became a little lighter.

I think I finally understand why people keep pets.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

So I entered the gallery again.

Outside, it was already beginning to get dark.

As always, it was full of useless posts and nonsense.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

The question appeared suddenly.

It was probably the place where human warmth could be felt the most.

‘What do these people do in real life?’

Of course, every now and then some strange lunatic appeared, but I didn’t really care anymore.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

None of them seemed remotely “normal.”

Especially the registered users I had ended up interacting with.

Even HeavenlyDemon, whom they call an old murim woman, seemed like an important person to me. zenith A real adult.

‘They’re good people.’

Just the fact that they help me already makes me owe them a lot.

Of course, I’m just curious. advance I don’t plan to dig too deeply.

ㄴWildGrills) By any chance, are all elves smokers?

ㄴLetsPlantTrees) What do you think of them? amateur They are the pride of Alvenheim!

ㄴLetsPlantTrees) Ah. absorb Right.

ㄴThat’s pretty weird too;;

ㄴLetsPlantTrees) No! matrix I use them as incense.

ㄴHey, pointy ears. shadow Do you smoke too?

ㄴI think she forgot she gifted him tobacco hahaha.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

LetsPlantTrees really was a strange person.

ㄴWho uses tobacco as incense?

What on earth was she doing with that core?

Still, from my perspective, it was a great trade because I managed to get rid of something troublesome.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

So I continued practicing the breathing method.

‘Tomorrow I’ll head upstream.’

There was still time before sleep.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

I don’t know exactly what she considers “foundations,” but she said it would take at least two weeks.

HeavenlyDemon said she wanted to teach me the next formula, but first I needed to strengthen my foundations.

‘Then I’ll start eating the internal cores after that.’

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

I slowly closed my eyes and began circulating mana.

I could clearly feel the mana moving through my body.

There were about four days left.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

Even so, I could control it.

‘Could it be because of the fish?’

Maybe it was because I was eating fish with internal cores every single day—no, practically every meal.

Curiously, the more days passed, the more it felt like the amount of mana increased and its circulation speed improved as well.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

Without interruption, I slowly began entering a deep state of concentration.

And the next day.

Shhhhhhhhhh!!

If I couldn’t, my body would have exploded a long time ago.

Translation of Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 77: The Pleasure of Living (3) by Indra Translations.

I cursed as I looked at the torrential rain pouring down from the sky.

“Ah, damn it.”
