「Oh, what a feeling of freedom! So this is freedom―!」
Sam was walking alone in the forest after leaving the town where Baron Reinbach’s house was located.
Feeling light and refreshed because he had taken the first step towards a new life.
He was happy to finally be free of that unpleasant family.
They must be very happy to know that Sam is gone.
「From now on, I’ll travel the world as an adventurer. Now that I’ve been reincarnated into another world, I’m going to enjoy this world as much as I can!」
The goal was to get to the next territory.
Unlike Baron Reinbach’s domain in the countryside, the neighboring region is prosperous in its own way, and it is said to have access to the royal capital.
Sam’s goal was to get to the capital first.
He heard that there were plenty of requests for adventurers in the capital.
It might be an option to enter a magic school where anyone with a talent for magic can enter.
「I’d like to know if there are any dungeons in this world. After all, another world is a dungeon, right?」
A world that has yet to be seen will never cease to excite you.
As an adventurer, you recruit friends, challenge dungeons, and acquire treasures.
This is like a game he played many times when he was a child before.
「Is there a hero or a demon lord? But I’ve never heard of any battles with the Demon Lord.」
It’s not that Sam doesn’t admire the existence of heroes and demon lords.
He would like to meet them, if they exist.
However, if there is a Demon Lord, he might be fighting against humans, and if that happens, there could be a war.
Sam doesn’t like when people suffer.
Even if they were strangers to him.
When Sam first came to this world, he thought it was like a dream.
He thought that one day he would wake up and go back to Earth.
But it was Daphne and the other people of Rheinbach who made Sam realize that this other world was real.
These women are alive.
They are not residents of a fantasy world, they are real people.
And although he doesn’t know why he was reincarnated, he knows that he, Sam, am also a human being living in this world.
Therefore, Sam wants to take a look around this world.
He wants to see the world with his own eyes, the world where so many people live.
He is not going to look for a way to return to Earth.
He already accepted that this is his destiny.
The only thing that remains is how to live in this world.
「Now, I’ll start with the capital. From there, let’s save up some money and go to various countries!」
Having a specific goal in mind makes you feel lighter on your feet.
Perhaps it will not be all fun and games.
There will be failures and hardships.
You may even find yourself in despair.
But that’s life.
It doesn’t matter what world you live in.
Sam kicked the ground forcefully toward the future.
