Chapter 2

Living Underground (The Hero of Water Arc)

Time flew, and before I knew it, winter had arrived. It’d been almost two years since I had left the orphanage. Since then, I’d gone to the royal capital, and for various reasons, I’d moved my base of operations underground—into the sewers, which were roughly ten meters below the surface.

“Welcome back, Abel!”

After opening the manhole and climbing down the ladder, I saw the faces of two children as they ran up to me. In the time that I’d lived here, I’d essentially become their big brother.

“Abel! Look! I killed this huge rat!”

“Heh heh, but the rat I got’s much bigger!”

They’d been living in the sewers long before I arrived. The underground was a place of acceptance for kids like me, who’d found their way down here due to their own various circumstances.

“We’re havin’ a feast tonight!” said the two kids, grinning as they held out their catches.

This was an era of survival of the fittest—the weak were tyrannized by the strong. The majority of the kids that lived down here had lost their parents in the war and been run out of their homes. But the world wasn’t so kind as to allow kids with nobody to fall back on to live on their own. As such, these orphans had gathered here in the underground, and through cooperation, they were more or less able to make it through each day.

“Rats carry all kinds of diseases, so don’t forget to use Detoxification Magecraft first, okay?”

“Yeah!” they happily agreed.

When I first arrived down here, their quality of life was horrific. Given both the lack of space and food, fights broke out daily. That was why I’d taught them magecraft—to enrich their lives.

“Hey, Abel! Listen to this! The magecraft you taught me is super handy! So, like—”

Though I didn’t get the sense that any of these children were especially gifted with magecraft, people were capable of amazing feats when they had their backs against the wall. The children didn’t fuss when I taught them things, and now they were learning magecraft at the same level as adults.

“Oh, right. Were you able to get the things I asked for?”

“Yeah! Of course, Abel!” The boy began to pull out newspapers from various outlets in town. “You’re really weird. You can’t fill your belly by reading, you know.”

“Aw, well, I’m sure Abel has his own way of thinking about things.”

Sewage wasn’t the only thing that flowed down here. The district we lived in had by far the most people living in it, which made it a hub for all sorts of information.

“I’m gonna focus on reading, so give me some space until nighttime, okay?”

“Okay!” the kids responded before energetically scattering.

Now, then. The reason I’d accepted living down here was also because it made it easier to accomplish my goal.

Horror! 18 Demons Die of Unnatural Causes! Is Chaos Raid Involved?!

As I skimmed over all the newspapers I’d gotten, this sensational headline jumped out at me. My current goal was to join the country’s strongest mage organization, Chaos Raid.
