30 minutes before the attack.

The story takes place in the nearby village of Cody, where Austin's aunt lives.

Oh, you might be a little surprised as to why the storytelling is different from before and who I am, right? I'm the author of this 3rd-grade novel. I'm sorry for introducing myself in the middle of the story. From now on, I will be telling this story to you like this, and I'll try to make this 3rd-grade novel at least a 2nd-grade level. I will be more involved in the story in the future. Thank you for your support, and take care, everyone.

Let's get back to the story. Where did I leave off?

The village near our hero's house is called Cody Village. It's not a big village with a population of around 700-800. It's located under the Kingdom of Argos, one of the four kingdoms on this continent. Among the villagers, Aunt Ann is one of them, who runs an inn with her husband. Unfortunately, they have no children of their own.

On that day, a giant man named Darwin Volterra entered the inn and asked Ann if any rooms were available.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

He was a muscular guy carrying a large sword on his back, wearing armour and rich foreign clothing. After getting a drink, he was disturbed by a noise outside and went to check it out.

To his surprise, he found that goblins were attacking the village, using some kind of crystal to absorb the mana from the people, causing their deaths.

Darwin, being an Aura Swordsman minimum early sixth-class Swordsman, thought he would handle the situation easily but it was a difficult situation for him to swing his sword against the undead.

However, for every 10 undead he destroyed, 20 more would rise from the old bodies and dead villagers. Around 20-30 people died, and most of the villagers lost their confidence. Suddenly, a bright light came from deep within the forest, and most of the undead followed it.

Darwin realized that the Lich must have created this situation, as it has the power to control the undead and is more potent than the normal ones.

He thought he should kill the Lich and get a reward from the villagers and the king of this kingdom.

He entered the forest and killed the undead one by one as he went. The Lich consumes mana to live and use magic, and the bright light is connected to mana, which is why the undead followed it.

As he got closer to the origin of the light, Darwin found most of the undead goblins destroyed, with only a few mini bones left from their bodies.

He was shocked to see a child floating in the air with a Lich bowing down to him out of fear, using his feet to pay homage. It was something out of a fantasy novel, but it was happening right in front of his eyes. That child was Austin.

Before Darwin could react, the Lich called out to him, accusing him of being a "Shitty Skeleton" who dared to attack.

Darwin panicked because the child's presence and pressure were way higher than his king's.

He tried to escape, but something was taking control of his body, and he heard a voice saying, "Hi human, you should be proud that the boss oked to be my meal." Erin revealed Darwin's full body, and he couldn't move a muscle.
