“Oi… No matter how you look at it, isn’t this too much?” Relictus, bewildered, asked M’arrzath.
“This is all I can give you. With this, you may grow, but as you stand, there is no way you can even come close to ruling this world. Think of it as a ‘jump start.’” M’arrzath, almost apologetic, explained to Relictus. “You may be able to defeat a human, but you don’t even come close to standing on the level of one of the Old Emperors.”
“But even then, aren’t my enemies humans?”
The moment he said that, M’arrzath put forth a rather harsh tone. “That is exactly the mindset I have shown you to avoid. Thinking humans to be enemies is exactly what caused the first War. Humans are your friends. Certain ones will be your enemies as evil people, those who follow chaos and wish to cause pain for the sake of causing pain. Others will form contracts with other, less powerful Old Emperors, and may be doing so right now. You need to grow stronger as fast as you can. I gave you almost all of my strength so that you can do so.”

Immediately, Relictus understood the implications of this. He knew that if he didn’t start early and dedicate himself to the game, he would never defeat anyone. After all, all he got was a way to grow quickly, as M’arrzath was too weak to give anything else. Even now, Relictus saw that he had gone down all the way to level 45 and was far shorter – only about three times Relictus’s own height.
He stood up from his spot in the corner of the room, rubbing the back of his head. He was quite sore from the experience of having his mind and body crushed and rebuilt, but he had no time to waste brooding over this. He ran through the rooms and corridors of the dungeon, and, after a few hours of running around without any knowledge of how the cavern worked, nor any torch or form of light, he saw light. He ran up the stairs, and finally had reached the outside world. He breathed deeply, grateful to be out of the dank dungeon and its cold, wet air and into the forest.
Leaves fell around him, gathering on the ground, colors from red to gold creating a breathtaking scene akin to a rain of leaves. Relictus walked slowly, leisurely, as he took in the tranquil, comforting atmosphere. All of these colors were there, for the first time in so long.
He then remembered his task. He needed to grow, for the sake of those around him, and his own freedom. PKing reaped few rewards, nothing that he could utilize. He rushed off at his top speed – with his new abilities, it was incredibly fast. He felt as if he was splitting the wind with his own body.
Relictus stumbled upon something. He was currently awkwardly staring at the… thing that stood in his path.
Silver SnakeLevel: 12
It was just that. It was a long, reptilian creature with no limbs – a snake. Furthermore, it was a snake with glowing red eyes and scales colored as pristine silver. They stared at each other for a minute. It was rather uncomfortable, staring at a snake awkwardly as it stared back, doing absolutely nothing.
The snake made the first move. It rushed forward at speeds no human could comprehend, its fangs glinting in the sunlight as it unhinged its jaw. As if on instinct, although mainly out of panic, Relictus unsheathed his basic sabre, bringing it forward in a stabbing motion and sending it straight into the snake’s open mouth. Its eyes widened as the sharp blade pierced its throat. The bright red eyes dimmed, becoming a deep, soulless black, and the snake exploded into dust.
+152 EXPYou have gained a level!You have gained a level!You have gained a level!You have gained a level!Due to your Title, you gain +60 Stat Points.
As if on instinct, Relictus placed his Stat Points into ATK, DEX, and SPD evenly, at 20 points each. He forgot that he was level 1 due to his own power, and so quickly he gained 4 levels. He whipped his sword to remove the blood of the snake, and returned it to his sheath in a single motion.
A/N
Spoiler : Lots of explanation in this chapter. Still laying the groundwork, I’d like you to learn at the same pace as Relictus.

Mushoku Tensei: That one forgotten Mob
Life is filled with the unexpected. Today is another normal day in life, as I passed the time with my friends to bully the cursed superd child feared in the village to show our might to her. A water ball suddenly hit us. The kid from the knight's office was unleashing his spell to attack us, the bully. Never would I expect that simple water ball to create a trigger for memories to fill my brain. I was 5 at that time, and the memories were jumbled. I don't know whether it’s mine or another's. I just know that this is not a memory of a single person. And, from that memory, I know that I’m actually a mob... I’m one of Sylphiette’s bullies. You won’t know me since I am not named in any of the works, whether they were manga, novels, or even anime. Heck, I only say one word and I'm dead in the next part. an actual mob, where I don’t even appear in either the opening or the ending of the anime. The thing happened so suddenly. I don’t know whether I am reincarnated, transmigrated, or just receiving some memories from someone in the real world. The deadline is 5 years from now, the day the Metastasis incident happened. Can I be another prodigy in the Mushoku Tensei world, or will I still be another slightly better mob? Disclaimer! *I’m not a native, so please do tell me if you find any grammar mistakes or better word choices. *!!! There'd be a lot of web novel parts and less Claude's POV, but it'll get focused over time, so be patient and skim if you don't like some parts. I made it So other reader Can Understand where they are in the Story. It's also my timeline note! *Thank you very much for reading and your feedback. *R-18 tags for gore and profanity.
