Chapter 3

"Why am I... still alive...?"

Rihito wakes up at the bottom of the cliff as if nothing had happened.

He hasn't lost his memory.

He clearly remembers being stabbed in the heart and thrown off the cliff.

"Execution failed? No, that can't be right..."

The first thought that comes to Rihito's mind is immediately negated.

It's impossible for such a surefire execution method to fail, even for a complete amateur.

The cliff is at least 200 meters high.

Under normal circumstances, falling from such a height would certainly be fatal.

"---No injuries? There's not a single one! Why...?"

There, Rihito realizes that he has not sustained any injuries.

Despite falling from a height of 200 meters, there isn't even a scratch on him.

Moreover, the wound that pierced his heart is completely healed.

"Could it be..."

There is actually one thing that comes to mind regarding this phenomenon.

"It's similar to the 'Resurrection' skill..."

It was identical to Rihito's 'Resurrection' skill.

He has used this skill many times before, and those who were revived always returned in perfect condition, just like Rihito now.

It seemed that the 'Resurrection' skill had been used.

"---Who could have... No, I'm the only one who can use this skill."

Rihito is confused.

There shouldn't be anyone else in this world with the exact same skill.

To begin with, no one else was present at the scene besides Rihito.

This leads to the conclusion that he must have used 'Resurrection' on himself.

"Does it activate when I die? I'm learning this for the first time---but of course."

Ultimately, Rihito reaches this conclusion.

His mind is calm enough to even make a self-deprecating remark.

"Anyway, I need to go somewhere..."

Having assessed the situation, Rihito decides to leave the execution site.

He can't return to the kingdom, so he needs to find a place to hide.

While he doesn't expect to be pursued, if he is found, he will likely be executed again.

He needs a safe place.

And there is only one place that comes to mind.

"Alright, I'll go to the dungeon."

This decision by Rihito.

Will later become the beginning of the demon army that will torment the human world.

I will update another chapter around midnight.
