He saw the shadow turn its head towards the sky and scoff.

"You're late."

Incredibly, the previously unobservable figure became faintly visible under the moonlight.

Perhaps it was an illusion, or perhaps the impression received from Him gave the shadow form.

Anyway, Murphy saw the figure reflected there.

There is no doubt that she was a person so beautiful that she was like a god.

But there was a mischievous smile on His face.

Chapter 3 Murphy

With a "bang", Murphy fell to the ground.

When I opened my eyes, I saw the familiar ceiling and the cold moonlight shone into the house through the window.

By the moonlight, he groped his way up and carefully examined the room.

A wooden bed and a wooden table with a tea set on it.

Two low stools are placed on both sides of the table, and there is a floor-length mirror in the corner.

There was an iron sword leaning against the head of the bed, covered in a dirty scabbard made of some unknown animal skin.

The scabbard had some greasy spots and some dark red stains.

In the corner of the room were several wooden boxes and some miscellaneous items, covered with dust and cobwebs.

All this shows that the owner of the room is not very fond of cleanliness.

Suddenly, he felt a pain in his stomach and hurriedly lifted up his clothes to look over there.

There was nothing, just a few scabbed scratches on the bronze skin, but no scars.

He touched his abdominal muscles, and just when he was about to think further, some strange fragments of memory suddenly emerged in his mind.

-------------------------------------

Murphy sat on the edge of the bed, sorting out the memories that had just appeared.

After reading the memory, he immediately understood that he was...that he had once been a time traveler.

He traveled from Earth, and his original name was "Ordinary".

One day, he was stabbed to death at the door of his home, and then came into this world and turned into a person named Murphy, and he turned into the newly born Murphy.

However, for some unknown reason, when he first came into this world and before he had fully understood his situation, his "ordinary" memory disappeared directly, and it has only been recovered now.

Although he said so, his memories have actually been hidden in this body all these years.

But his soul became Murphy in this different world, and lived for a full 18 years.

This different world is called Cassia.

There are swords and magic here, as well as demon kings and heroes.

In this world, there are both royal power groups such as kingdoms and empires, and theocratic power groups such as churches.

There are also countless small countries with their own characteristics.

What an old-fashioned setting.

The place where Murphy lives is called Lars, which is a border city of the Kingdom of Leiden. Further east is the Demon Kingdom where the demons live.

Border Lars is the first line of defense against the demons.

Ten years ago, after the sixth generation of heroes successfully killed the Demon King, the territory of the Kingdom of Leiden advanced a little towards the Demon Kingdom in the east.

King Leyden XIII recruited laborers and craftsmen to come to this new border to build a new border city, which is the origin of the border city Lars.

Ten years ago, Murphy's parents brought him to this border when he was eight years old.

His parents and other craftsmen built this border city to keep the demons out of the city gates.

King Leyden XIII rewarded the laborers and craftsmen who came to open up the wasteland with houses in the East City District, and the Murphy family settled down here.

His father supported his family by making money as a weapon-making blacksmith, while his mother supplemented the family income by working as a handyman for a noble family in Xicheng District.

In the border city of Lars, weapons are easy to sell and subsequent maintenance can also earn money, so the family lives a pretty good life.

The eastern district of Lars was inhabited by laborers and craftsmen who came to open up wasteland. It was a lowly place, and nobles rarely came here.

The West City is the residential area for the nobility of the kingdom, where the nobles and knights live. The city lord's fortress is also in this area.

The South City is the guild area where the Adventurer's Guild and the Magician's Guild gather, and there are also related industries nearby;

The northern part of the city is the church district where the Cassia Cult is located.

In the center of Lars is a huge square, surrounded by various shops. This is also the commercial street of Lars.

The layout described above is the layout of most cities in the Kingdom of Leiden.

Because the Kingdom of Leiden is adjacent to the Demon Kingdom to the east, the noble nobles have to stay away from there and live in the west. This way, if the city is breached, they will have enough time to escape.

As for those lowly civilians? Perhaps they could become cannon fodder to stop the demons.

This world and its Supreme God Religion are both named after the Supreme God "Cassia".

The Kingdom of Leiden in the east and the Garcia Empire in the west both have the Supreme God Religion "Cassia" as their state religion, and there are churches in every city in both countries.

Although both countries have "Cassia" as their state religion, there are still some differences.

The Kingdom of Leiden was based on the monarchy. The king granted status to the church, and the king was the highest point of power.

The Garcia Empire was theocracy, the king's power was granted by God, and the commanding heights of power were the church.

The church possesses the only healing magic in the world, which is also the foundation of the church.

The proud priests said it was a gift from the goddess Cassia.

Eight years ago, the previous generation of heroes disappeared on the front line for no reason, just like the previous heroes, and then the Demon Kingdom began to counterattack.

Lars defeated the demons after paying a heavy price.

Murphy's father was called up as a militia to defend the city and died in the battle with the demons.

His mother was so sad after hearing the news that she eventually fell ill and passed away.

Only ten-year-old Murphy was left living alone in the border city of Lars.

The only property left by his parents was the house allocated to their family by the king and the iron sword beside his bed, which was an ordinary iron sword made by his father.

Later, Murphy was sent to the church. In the Cassia world, the church also exists as an orphanage.

The Cassia Church will be used to raise orphans whose parents died in the war.

At the same time, these orphans will be given the most basic education and guidance.

Generally speaking, children with divine talents will become members of the church when they grow up.

At the most basic level, men would become priests and women would become nuns.

Those with magical talent will be sent to the magic academy in the royal city to study magic, and the knights will also come here to select a few powerful children as their squires.

As for those untalented children, who would care for them? They would just be left to fend for themselves when they grow up.

Murphy has no surname. In this world, at least in the Kingdom of Leiden, ordinary people are not worthy of having surnames except for knights, nobles and high-ranking officials of the theocratic group.

He was an ordinary child, he had neither divine arts nor magical talent.

The only thing that is acceptable is his swordsmanship, but it is only at the level of an ordinary person. This ordinary swordsmanship cannot make him a squire of the Knight.

Two years ago, when he was already sixteen years old, he was sent out of the church to fend for himself. The church's last mercy was a copper coin enough to eat coarse noodles for three days.

His luck is actually very good.

Compared to others, he at least has a place to live and doesn't have to spend a lot of money to buy a suitable weapon.

In this way, Murphy became an ordinary adventurer and began to make a living from it.

After all, he only knew how to use a sword, and it was just an ordinary person's sword.

-------------------------------------

After Murphy knew that he was a time traveler, he suddenly had some illusions and began to lose track of who he was.

Is it the ordinary person who traveled to another world, or Murphy who has lived in this world for 18 years.

Although both of these people are himself.

But after all, the time he has lived in this different world "Cassia" is almost as long as his original life.

Just like that, after organizing his thoughts for a while, he sighed silently.

No matter what, his identity in this world is Murphy.

So he decided to continue living an ordinary life in this world as Murphy, just like before.

There is no other choice anyway, ordinary people can only live ordinary lives.

"But you're having a really bad time."

"Like a bedbug in a gutter."

The moonlight seemed to disappear in an instant, and a dark shadow enveloped the house, but it completely dissipated in the next second.

"......strangeness."

"Is your memory a little unclear after just awakening?"

Murphy felt as if someone was talking just now, but disappeared in an instant.

He thought that maybe he had just integrated his memories and was not yet clear-headed, or maybe he was hallucinating, so he didn't take it too seriously.

After Murphy had driven away the strange feeling, he started calling the system directly.

After all, according to the routines in the novels of the previous life, this thing should be a standard feature of time travel.

"System? Are you there?"

"Grandpa? Is Grandpa here?"

"Goldfinger, come out quickly."

"Sign in."

However, perhaps because his memory recovered too late, nothing happened.

There is no system, no grandfather, no golden finger, nothing.

"Hell has just begun." He smiled bitterly and began to think about what he should do next.

After all, he is just an ordinary person now.

Even on Earth, he was just an undergraduate who had just been admitted to graduate school, and without an internship, the undergraduate knowledge he learned was basically useless.

After all, in this strange world, who would calculate the strength of the material, unless someone asked him to grind a hammer.

In this world, as Murphy, he doesn't seem to have any talent, except for his swordsmanship which is decent.

Probably the level of ordinary people.

“It’s an unfair world.”

In the past two years, he followed a one-eyed old thug named Jed and learned some tricks of thieves, such as unlocking and setting traps.

But it is of no use to him now. As a socialist successor, he will not do anything sneaky.

He himself is an E-level adventurer, the second-to-last tier. Adventurers at this stage are not yet qualified to accept commissions issued by the guild.

So he usually has to go into the maze alone to get materials and sell them for some money, which is his main source of income.

However, E-level adventurers are not eligible to accept commissions.

But Old Jed would bring some inconvenience to a newcomer like him by publishing the private commission in the union.

After the commission is completed, Old Jed will give appropriate compensation, and he will collect the agency fee from it.

Although people often complain that Old Jed charges unscrupulous fees, it is indeed a good way to make money.

Speaking of the maze, it is located not far north of Lars and is said to be a facility used by the demons to cultivate monsters.

After the Kingdom of Leiden occupied this place, it sent people to build high walls around the maze to prevent monsters from escaping.

However, the maze will continue to produce monsters, so it is not enough to just surround it. Adventurers are also needed to go down and clean up these extra monsters.
