'What use of saving this child?'

'In the name of the green lady, I am a rat!'

'Even if I rescue the child, can this child even survive in this sewer full of shit and disease ?'

'Can even a rat raise a human child ?'

'Maybe it would be better for the child.'

All kinds of thought went through Yuriko's head. Looking at the child getting closer and closer to its death, she knew she the only one who can decide this child's fate. She began to pull her ears in frustration.

Saving this child's life means Yuriko also taking full duty for taking the role of raising that baby. Also following ones as well, she can't just save one and throw another away like a thing because it would be a hypocrite of her.

'Ah, damn this humanity. Can't you see rats suppose to kid killers but you making rat save the kid.'

Yuriko cursed, but what she said and what she doing was quite different as right now, she pulling the child out of sewer's water while continuing her ramble.

'Remember, a kid I am one of the worst caretakers, you could imagine. I can't read the mood and unemotional.'

Yuriko told all kinds of bad things about herself as if trying to make a child disgusted from her but sadly there is no way a child knows rat language.

A few minutes later.

'I really did it, didn't I ?'

In the room that previously used by Karn, Yuriko said to herself while observing her work.

'Well, brat you better be than-'

Removing the cloth Yuriko wanted to see the luck brat's face, but her words cut short as a child already stopped breathing. With some hope, she placed her ears on the chest, but even with her enhanced hearing, she didn't found a single beat behind a skinny chest.

'Don't go die like that when someone finally decides to save you.'

Maybe the cry she heard was last cry child made using all of its strength. It was no surprise newborn children survive in cold water filled disease and bacteria.

Suddenly Yuriko felt relieved thinking, now she doesn't have to take care child but at the same, she felt disgusted at herself for thinking such a thing.

Stolen story; please report.

'Even in another world, I am still a piece of shit.'

Cursing herself Yuriko began to dig a small hole enough for a child on one corner of the room using her hard teeth and claw. At least she wanted to give the nameless child a proper burial.

'Sorry.'

Followed by simple word Yuriko finished burying the child and chooses her trait.

Super Size Unique trait that increases the size of the Host's core organs and arteries making it more strong, resilient, and efficient. Greatly enhances the host's stamina and overall performance.

Taking out the map she chooses the one point randomly and begun to run at her full speed. While running Yuriko slowly noticed a change in her breathing and stamina. Previously she only could hold her top speed for no more than a half-minute but now she can hold it for at least one and half a minute.

Eventually, she reached the point at the map and found nothing but a wall and pipes.

'Weird maybe there is something above it ?'

Thought Yuriko climbed up one of the pipes connected to waste, thanks to her flexibility and double joints it was easy for her to enter any pipe that her head fit. At this point, she already has thrown her feeling of disgust back of her head after smelling the Thing.

With sometimes later while climbing she saw the light passing through small holes. Pushing the thing the first thing she saw was washing the sink and wooden roof.

It was a quite old looking wooden house, looking at a single chair and table seems like only one person lives in this house. After dropping down from sink Yuriko went around the house checking every corner. Eventually, she found a well-hidden secret door along with tightly wrapped a long curved sword behind the shelf.

Suddenly Yuriko heard a sound of a door, immediately she hid under a bed. A moment later followed by the sound of footsteps, she saw a familiar man she saw in sewer entering room dressed in factory worker clothes. After entering his house, the man immediately changed his clothes to a white tank top and light green pants with boots then entered through the hidden door with his sword.

Without any hesitation, Yuriko followed after the man to a hidden room. Inside the room, there were only six candles on a stand placed around in a dark room in a strange shape.

Without knowing new roommate Kudero lit candles one by one and unsheathed his sword. Standing in the middle of the six candles he began his training. Closing his eyes Kudero began slowly to move his sword around himself while placing his right leg in front while left leg in back in a half-sitting position.

Maybe he is the last one who knows the sword art of Olkron kingdom's royal family. As the closest friend of the previous king of Olkron kingdom his father entrusted with a royal family's swordsmanship and secret formula of an ancient drug. After the purge, he successfully able to hold into the last two things from his home kingdom but in exchange for the last member of the royal family and his family executed.

Without any other choice, Kudero erased his last name and entered as a worker in the Jioral empire's steel factory. Every day his hatred for the Jioral empire grew as he observed how people, he suppose to protect is treated but he was only one person who possesses no mana against an empire. Still, he held it on and practiced sword art in secretly until the chance appears before himself and people similar to himself.

*haaaa~*

After exhaling air Kudero opened his eyes and saw all candles around him standing still with deep but precise cuts made from his sword. This was the fruit of his more than ten years of training and next week he will show those monsters in human skin what he can do.
