I don’t understand.

In the first place, I was sure my brother would kill me by the Dark Guild Master’s order. I should’ve died, yet…

I couldn’t think anymore. No, I had given up on everything… When I was so miserable, a man in a black mask came to my rescue.

Can anyone please tell me how this is happening… 

All I know is that I am still alive and that I have seen the man in black somewhere.

I’m seeing him for the first time, but where have I seen something similar before?

My memories were foggy, but I could still remember as if I’d seen him before.

“Looks like… You’re alright.”

“Y-yeah. More importantly, you’re …”

“Don’t worry about me. I’m just a scumbag, and today, you can just think of me as nothing more than a thief who came here to rob the items that Belmude, the Dark Guild Master, has.”

The man in black carried me in his arms in a princess carry and placed me down gently in the corner of the room.

“Hey, b*****d… where did you hear that name?”

“Ah? It’s a name you threw away anyway, right? Since that’s the case, there’s no need for you to bother?”

“Haha! That’s true.”

When the man in black answered, the Dark Guild Master Belmude laughed, and then he suddenly turned a straight face.

“Do it.”

“Understood!”

Belmude says a few words, and my brother steps in front of the man in black as if to say he is Belmude’s bodyguard.

No, in fact, my brother is probably his bodyguard.

Seeing that elder brother of mine, I got forced to realize, whether I wanted it or not, that the righteous and kind brother I know is nowhere to be found anymore.

“Be careful! My brother can…”

“Whose side are you on? Don’t tell me it’s not mine, your brother, but this man in black, who you don’t even know where he comes from.”

I try to tell the man in black about my brother’s weakness, but he stops me with his killing intent.

It isn’t because he’s my brother or anything, but just purely out of fear that if I said any more, he would definitely kill me.

What a pathetic person I am.

The man in black will probably get killed by my brother because of my cowardice.

“Shut your mouth. You’re just a mob character, a small fry. Don’t run your mouth like you’re the main character.”

“You—”

The man in black then created an ice sword without chanting and swung it down towards my brother.

“Once frozen, you’ll be silent as a rock. Just keep quiet until it’s over.”

That’s all it took for him to freeze my brother in ice.

And he still did it chantless.
