"Weakhuman!"

"Gieahaha!"

Gerald jumped up and gripped the sword.

"Who is it?!" He frantically looked around. There was nobody there. He turned around a few times to confirm his surroundings.

"Am I imagining things?" He struck the sword in the ground and massaged his eyes, feeling tired.

"Heiyaaaaa!"

A Goblin appeared in front of his face, all bloodied and with a lacerated body, it tried to bite him in the face.

"Die!" Gerald roared and swung his sword. He struck air.

"Hehe"

He turned around and saw a Hobgoblin aiming an arrow at him. It released the string.

"Ugh!" Gerald swung his sword again at the arrow, but when he looked back, the Hobgoblin was nowhere to be seen. No trace of the arrow also.

But he beasts just kept coming, from all sides, endlessly. Every time he struck them, they would disappear.

His mind was in turmoil, disorganized and foggy. It took him some time to realize they weren't real.

"Hahaha!" He burst out into roaring laughter, and tears of sadness rolled down his cheeks. "It finally happened! I'm going insane! Hahaha!"

He collapsed on his knees from exhaustion, and the sword slipped from his grasp.

Then again, it has been a while since he has done nothing. Just sitting there, with all the time in the world, presented him with an opportunity to think things through.

He would have to get someone to open the Ring for him. Without magic, all of his things were stuck inside, he couldn't even get the potions he prepared specially for an occasion like this.

He even got proper Health Potions instead of those cheap Healing Potions. They should be able to fix him up quickly

Gerald clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction and sighed, "Maybe this is the punishment from God I let the greed and arrogance consume me, it was about time I learn some humility."

He placed his hand on his chest and turned his gaze towards the sky, silently praying, "God, I never believed in you because the whole notion of your existence is stupid But! If you are there, I promise to be good from now on.

I'll help the poor and those in need and share your mighty name Actually, what is your name, do you even have it?" As his prayer started to wander, he quickly caught himself and continued praying seriously.

With a pious gaze, he spoke, "I shall be humble from this day forward, I will accept my place in this world and follow the plan you have set for me. I'll get myself a wife, raise a family, andand"

As the quiet sky did not answer his prayers, he fell down and kowtowed to it amid shouting and crying, "Please! Just please let me use magic again! I beg you, I'll be good, I promise! Give me another chance! I'll pray to you, I can even give you my firstborn like in the Bible!"

"Lost his magic?" Ravian scratched his head in confusion. "So what? That happens often after you overuse it, right? He should be back to normal in a few weeks"

"But what if he doesn't know that?" Tabbris said with concern. "We don't know if any more monsters are roaming around"

"He is that strong without magic?!" a guy shouted in disbelief. "I don't think you need to be concerned for him in that case."

"What do you mean, Blum?"

Blum made a weird expression with a half-smile and pointed at his chest plate. A few people chuckled quietly.

"Oh, right, that"

"He's right," Tabbris said. "Gerald's going to be just fine by himself. He is mentally strong, this much is probably nothing to him! Come, let's take care of our problems first!"
