Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

Chapter 40: The Legend of Shadow Heroes - Origins

"Buyena! Your king has returned!"

"Please don't do this! It's so embarrassing in front of people I know!"

The witch blushed and pleaded with the king in a voice that sounded like she was about to cry.

"What's there to be ashamed of!" The king remained unmoved, waving the brown cloak given to him by Loki with one hand, and continued to proclaim loudly, "We have returned as promised—having traversed mountains and hunted dragons, bringing endless wealth and glory!"

The king's subjects put down their chores and turned their attention to him.

The king stood on the carriage, raising his hands high, his cloak billowing in the wind, like a true king announcing his return to the people.

As for the witch, perhaps she's contemplating a magic trick to conceal herself from this world.

"My witch, stop hiding. My people also want to see your beauty."

Luo Qixi buried her face in her scarf, her voice muffled.

"...I hate you so much."

Wang looked at Rudy and Shilufi who had arrived and immediately gave orders.

"Lord Rudius, my most loyal knight! I command you to immediately etch this scene into your mind! Use your exquisite puppetry skills to create an immortal statue, preserving the heroic figures of me and the witch forever!"

Secretary Ludius immediately got into position, kneeling on one knee, one hand placed in front of his chest, and the other hand held out to the side.

Hilfi followed suit and meticulously imitated her.

"Yes, sir!" ×2

The king nodded inwardly—truly worthy of being his brother!

The king was delighted by his obedient younger brother.

Why is Luo Qixi not making any noise?

Looking back, the witch had already turned into a stone statue.

Upon arriving home, the king and the witch immediately began distributing the spoils of their trip.

Paul and Senis wore dragon-skin cloaks, which were modified versions with built-in heating and cooling.

Hilfi wears her own Elf King's Cloak.

Rudy's work is "The Legend of Shadow Heroes: Origins," personally written by this king.

...I think I forgot who it was?

Oh no, I forgot about Lilia!

Is it because that maid always looks at me with such disrespect?

I subconsciously forgot to mention her gift.

I've got it! I'll use the little diamond I made while practicing Honkai Impact last night as the gift!

Those who received the gifts were naturally very grateful to the king.

Especially Lilia, who was initially thought to have no gift, was successfully won over with just a piece of carbon crystal.

Lilia's eyes have changed, but why can I still feel that disrespectful look in them?

The king looked around and finally found the source—Rudius.

"What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with my gift?" The king asked his younger brother, puzzled.

"Am I your dear brother?"

Rudy posed a profound question to the King.

"Of course!"

Although Sylphie is cuter.

"Then why did you send me this junk?!"

Rudy completely negated the king's hard work.

"What nonsense are you spouting! Do you know how much brainpower I've poured into writing this book every night?"

Wang was furious at his ungrateful younger brother.

"That's junk! Look at what you've written!"

As he spoke, Rudius began to read aloud.

He is the King of Promises, born from the heavens, descended to the earth, traversed worlds, and arrived here!

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"That's just something a mentally ill person would imagine!"

You'll find out later...

Rudy then turned a few more pages and began to read aloud.

[The King's body! A million bolts of magic power lie dormant within him! If unleashed at full power, he could blast this world to smithereens!]

"You even said you'd blast the world to smithereens? Can't you at least write something before you start bragging?!"

Wang Ke wasn't lying; I really did draft it...

"It can be done if you use the right method!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Rudy then continued reading.

The beast that once roared across the battlefield is now tamed by chains called "family." But so what? His claws have never been dulled.

However, the Shadow Lord merely exhaled a breath of Netherworld energy, and the arrogant swordsman collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut! Damn it, that's the difference in intelligence!

No sooner had he finished speaking than Paul's fist slammed into Wang's head.

"Come at me, let's fight one-on-one! I can beat you to a pulp in an instant if I get serious!"

"Forget it, old Deng, you'll die..."

"One-on-one! Come out and fight me one-on-one!!!"

Endless dust crystals gathered in his palm, swirling and emitting a hungry hum.

"The sin of making a girl shed tears must be paid for with blood. This is the rule I have established."

"And damn it, my rule—is the law of this world!!!"

That night, the theater stage was completely engulfed by the wrath of the Shadow Lord.

"Big brother is so handsome!"

Hilfi offered praise to the king.

"I only made a slight move."

While being entangled by Paul, the king responded to his loyal subjects.

The witch took the apple and took a bite. The crisp sound of the caramel was especially clear in the quiet night.

Then she smiled.

At that moment, the Shadow Lord knew.

[Damn it, he'll never escape this witch's grasp for the rest of his life.]

Luo Qixi, who had been caught up in the drama herself, blushed and expressed her love for Wang with her fist.

"What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat?!"

That damn Rudy! I'll make you pay tonight!!!

The Lord of Shadows has never been defeated.

Since awakening from the abyss, I have slain dragons, wiped out entire clans, and blasted countless arrogant enemies to dust.

[Damn it! He's the strongest being in the world!]

"...It was bound to happen sooner or later."

After enduring for so long, Senis also expressed her love for the king with her fist.

"Where did you learn to swear?!"

"Um... from a random passerby in the Adventurers' Guild."

Rudy slammed the epic book that the king had painstakingly compiled to the ground.

"Is this the kind of junk you're trying to fool your own brother with?!"

Rudy was furious.

"I will never feel joy again!!!"

Damn it, I clearly remember that Rudy was a homebody in his past life and loved reading novels.

Why is he so annoying about the story I painstakingly wrote?

Wang was truly heartbroken...

This is clearly the gift I put the most effort into...

Is that the only move we can use?

"How could that be? You are my dearest knight!" The king turned and flipped through his notebook. "I just took the wrong one. That was something I wrote for myself. This book, which records the true wisdom of my shadow, is the gift I want to give you."

"real?"

Rudy was skeptical.

"real."

Wang was trying to fool them.

"You're not lying to me?"

Rudy remained skeptical.

"I'm not lying to you!"

Wang Yiran lied.

After opening the Book of Truth, Rudy finally stopped questioning the king.

She simply turned her body around, took the staff given to her by Loki, and pulled Hilfi away from the king.

As she was being pulled along, Silphie didn't forget to turn back and wave, "Thank you for the cloak, big brother!"

Ugh......

Wang Gang tried to bend down to pick up "Shadow Heroes: Origins", but the witch beat him to it.

The witch, holding it in her hand, smashed it hard against the king's head.

"This forbidden book has now been sealed away by this witch."

"Whatever you like..."

"Who would like this thing!"
