Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

[Some time later, on the plane about to crash - Trevor's perspective]

"Lord Jax? Is there really no danger?"

"Although there is some danger, it is generally safe, so please don't be afraid."

"But!"

"There are no 'buts'. There's only one outcome for those left here: the plane will crash and everyone on board will perish!"

He gritted his teeth, staring at the scenery outside the plane with a look of fear on his face, constantly trying to mentally prepare himself.

Seriously...

It's just skydiving, why be so scared?

It seems my words of comfort have failed to dispel the fear in this old man's heart.

Moreover, I have no intention of spending half a day gently comforting Uncle Genius.

Since that's the case, then let me give you a push from behind!

The best way to eliminate fear is to face it!

So the Shadow Lord pushed him down!

"Waaaaaaahh ...

After screaming for a while in the air, the poor man finally managed to safely deploy his parachute.

Um......

It's really safe...

After confirming that the other party was alright, I returned to my seat.

Meanwhile, the witch piloting the plane began to complain with a look of horror on her face.

"Why does this always have to happen to me?!"

"It was clearly the witch who wanted to fly the plane before."

That's right, the person in charge of flying the plane now is a witch.

According to the plan, we were about to crash.

"I mean, why didn't you plan your landing properly?!"

"Of course I've considered it! It's just that the plan has changed slightly!"

"When you say you've made up your mind, do you mean throwing Master Gennas off the sky?"

The witch looked like she was about to cry.

"Witch! Calm down! Don't think about anything else. See those mountains ahead? Take the plane and head straight for them!"

"What exactly do you want to do?!"

"My witch, do not be afraid, I am here! Besides, we have been through even more dangerous things together!!!"

After taking a deep breath, the witch forced herself to calm down and then tried her best to pull the plane up and fly towards the mountaintop!

And right after we crossed the mountaintop, I grabbed the witch and pulled her away from her seat!

We arrived together at the cabin door!

With one hand around her back and the other supporting her knees, I carried her in a princess carry.

The witch instinctively grabbed the king's collar.

"Now, play along with my nonsense for a bit."

"Hmm~"

Ultimate Hyrule: Kingdom of Heroes!

start up!

The Shadow Lord kicked down the shield beneath his feet, and then it was me!

He lifted the witch from mid-air and placed her on the shield!

The shield carried the weight of both of us as we hurtled down the mountain ridge from the mountaintop!

At that moment, the mountain wind crashed into us like an invisible wall.

The witch's scream was torn apart by the wind, then turned into a series of clear laughs that reached my ears.

My arms tightened unconsciously, pressing her closer to my body.

My heartbeat came through the thin fabric, rapid and chaotic, mingling with my own.

What a pity...

That exclusive background music, "For Ya," can only be played in my own mind by activating my inner demons.

The mountains stretched out beneath my feet, the front edge of the shield slightly raised, grinding over gravel and withered grass with a soft, rapid friction sound.

Dusk crept up from the valley, the sky transitioned from orange-red to bluish-purple, and the wind carried the scents of pine resin and wildflowers.

I glanced down at the witch.

Her hair was blown about by the wind, and a few strands clung to the side of my neck, tickling me.

The witch raised her head in her arms; her beautiful eyes were slightly reddened by the wind, yet they shone with an astonishing brightness.

Then......

I am captivated...

Just then, because I was distracted, the shield I was standing on hit something and suddenly threw me and the witch into the air!

"Waaaaaaahh ...

I was so frightened that I even forgot how to fly for a moment.

After a brief moment of respite, he flew back and embraced the witch. They landed together on the mountainside, panting heavily, trying to swallow back the heart that had nearly leaped out of his chest.

Honestly...

That's pretty awkward...

Although I didn't fall flat on my face, it certainly wasn't exactly a dashing sight...

At that moment, the witch covered her mouth and laughed.

"Pfft~ Hahahaha~~~"

I don't know what she's laughing at; maybe she's mocking me.

But when she smiled, I couldn't help but want to smile too.

"Hahahaha!"

The laughter of the Shadow King and the witch echoed through the valley.

Then I got back on the skateboard and continued playing with the witch...

[After some time - at the bottom of the mountain]

"Is this the landing method you came up with?"

"Hmm...more or less."

"What do you mean 'almost'? You've really made things difficult for Master Genus; I wonder where he's fallen off to."

Honestly, the witch was having a lot of fun just now...

"I don't want to play this game while hugging an old man."

"What I mean is, you could have landed safely with both of us, right?"

"Because I really want to play this with you, witch."

"Oh~~~"

I did consider the possibility of a safe landing at first, but a large flat area is needed for landing.

The Demon Continent, however, has a surface riddled with potholes and craters...

Then I happened to see that really cool mountain range.

Therefore, my solution is to let Uncle Genius skydive alone.

As for me, I played the live-action version of Extreme Kingdom with the witch. Although the plan went a little wrong, I felt extremely happy to be able to play this game with the witch.

What I really want is to try all sorts of fun or exciting things with the witch, even things that are a bit extreme are fine.

That night, I actually thought a lot. I also think that the idea of ​​a hero saving a damsel in distress and falling in love at first sight is really too superficial.

At the time, I was also struggling to figure out where things had gone wrong...

I struggled with this for a very long time, but once the witch cried, I stopped struggling with it.

I like her...

That's enough...

Therefore, my plan is to spend more time with witches.

I hope to experience all sorts of firsts with the witch, so that whenever she looks back, she'll always remember the way I played with her...

because......

I'm the kind of person who's very stingy...

As for the direction we are heading, it is a village not far away.

That name is hard to remember; the village is inhabited by a group of demons whose race names are also hard to recall.

As for why we came here...

That's because of the request from that uncle who was so badly tormented by me...

He seemed like a very serious person, so when I told that lie in front of the witch and him that was bound to be exposed at any moment, I actually hoped that he would seriously expose me, then seriously criticize the witch, and finally see the witch's embarrassed look...

result......

He actually admitted it while holding his nose...

Ugh......

Boring...

But if that were all, I wouldn't have come here, because that guy not only called Lokishi "Lokili" while holding his nose, but also bowed deeply to me, hoping I could help him...

At first, I thought he wanted me to take him back to his hometown.

result......

I underestimated him...

According to him, he wanted to see what a magical disaster looked like with his own eyes, so he stayed on the edge of the Fituia territory. As expected, he was affected by the Great Transfer and was sent to the Demon Continent.

According to him, it was a rather difficult time at the time, but fortunately he was helped by others.

He lived in that village for a while, and then he discovered that the benefactor who had helped him had contracted a disease that even his superior detoxification magic could not cure.

The symptoms are said to be recurring fevers and increasing weakness. He also said that, to his knowledge, there are people among the human race who have suffered from similar diseases and were tormented beyond recognition before dying in agony.

It seems to resemble some early symptoms of certain cancers...

His initial plan was to take that person away from the Demon Continent to the Holy Kingdom of Milis, and then find someone who could use more advanced antidote magic to help him.

However, the success rate of this plan is very slim. First, it involves a long journey across the Demon Continent with a patient, and even if they do reach Milis, things will not be all right.

It is said that Milis is internally divided into two factions regarding the demons: a moderate faction and a hardline faction.

Among them were some extremists. Forget about healing demons; he'd even heard rumors back in magic university that these extremists would kill heretics who used healing magic on demons...

Then the witch said that it wasn't a rumor...

But... he still wanted to try his luck. Anyway, staying here would only mean waiting to die, so he might as well take action. That way, at least there would be a glimmer of hope. Besides, he was said to have some connections in Milis after being a teacher for so many years.

His reputation might come in handy.

But he was very lucky...

Because a few months ago, when he had just made up his mind to start his journey, the newly awakened King, using Alucard's body, passed through that village.

I must have gotten lost on my way to find Atofi, so I asked for directions. And because of Alucard's green hair, it naturally caused quite a commotion.

I didn't notice this uncle at the time.

But the uncle noticed me.

Based on his encounter with Alucard and Alucard's journey to Ricaris Town, he deduced that there was a high probability that he, the King, located directly beneath the magical disaster, had also been transported to the Demon Continent by the Great Transfer.

Then his plan changed. His new plan was to find Alucard or the King and get a token or a letter of recommendation from the King.

By using the name of my holy sword Jax, his chances of getting help from the Holy Kingdom of Milis will greatly increase.

So he set off alone towards the town of Licaris, traveling under the stars and moon.

At that time, I asked him why he didn't think Alucard or I could cure the other.

But the way he looked at me was truly disrespectful...

It's probably because Alucard is such an idiot that he dragged me down with him and ruined my reputation...

Last night, while he was traveling, he saw a shooting star in the sky, which was naturally a scene of the VOB system disintegrating. He also found Loki's witch's hat falling from the sky...

He knew that I was Lokishi's disciple, and then deduced that the shooting star in the sky must be related to me and the witch, so he began to search without stopping.

He actually found us, leading to that awkward encounter...

but......

He's really lucky...

Because we were so close, we were about to miss each other, and then he would have wasted so much effort and time.

And he was really lucky, because when I was weak before, I wasn't just sitting on the throne in a daze like Dracula.

At that time, I was also taking the opportunity to learn the divine detoxification technique that Boss Long had left me.

That magic trick was really complicated. It was different from what I had originally thought, which was more biased towards the power of idealistic faith. It was a magic trick that relied more on wisdom.

I learned a lot from just that one magic trick.

Its core principles are twofold: causality and regression.

First, there is cause and effect: simply put, it is why everything comes into being, why it perishes, and why it exists.

The creator of this magic trick believed that the world began as a state of undifferentiated chaos, and that the creation of this chaos was the result of a supernatural divine intervention. This divine being ordained a rational system for the world...

That's really charlatanish...

But while it's a charlatan's tale, it's also overly scientific.

Because a core tenet of causality is that everything that begins has a cause, and that the same things will always happen under the same circumstances.

By reversing this, we can find the original cause based on the current result.

This is also the foundation of modern science.

Then comes regression: the so-called regression means that everything converges towards the unchanging.

It sounds pretty quackery at first glance...

However, in modern statistics, regression analysis is a commonly used data analysis method, mainly used to study the correlation between variables.

The most familiar example is the height difference between parents and children. Although parents' height is inherited by their offspring, the height of offspring will eventually return to the human average.

Simply put, as long as the sample size is large enough, the final results will converge toward the center.

The idea of ​​"[converging all things toward the unchanging]" means that all things are actually unchanged. Even if there are errors or extreme values ​​in the middle, as long as the sample size is large enough, they will eventually return to the mean and return to the original appearance of things.

This is the core principle of god-level detoxification magic.

This should also be the core principle behind the cure of Devil's Stone Disease and cancer.

As long as a person has a breath left, they can find the original cause based on the current result, and then return everything in the body to the mean, back to its original state.

This is undoubtedly a great magic trick that touches upon the realm of gods.

What I truly desire is not power for destruction, but power for healing...

And this time...

Things will change...

After playing and joking with the witch for a while, we finally arrived at our destination.

only......

Uncle Genius hasn't arrived here yet, for some reason...

He was actually closer to here when he parachuted...

"Is Master Genius in danger?"

"Hmm...probably not...that guy seems pretty reliable. Maybe he was just hanging in a tree and played on the swing for a while."
