A NEET’s Guide to the Parallel World: Healer, the Strongest Cheat?

Chapter 24: part 2 - Old man and friend

Sorry about the small first part of the chapter guys. Patreon,

I slowly opened my eyes. Clouds and after that a sea of white haze, I was surrounded by clouds.

It seems that I was at a place above the clouds, but I dont know for sure. I was at a Temple? In front of me there appeared to be a building that looked like a temple, the setting sun leaked through the clouds illuminating it.

Long time no see, Masamune.

A voice suddenly came from behind me and I turned around only to be confused by the owner.

Eh? Shawn?

It was Shawn, the guy I was supposed to have killed. His tone was the same, and his snake eyes still scary.

Why are you here? I.. You..

Wait. Well Actually come with me, if you come youll understand.

I followed him only to discover the inside of the temple was less God-like in appearance than the outside. I quietly calmed down. If I were to compare it, I would compare it to the throne room. However, there was no thrown, just a single man standing alone.

Masamune, you came. Or I guess more accurately I invited you here.

The man had short black hair.

Who are you? Someone Shawn knows?

.. If Im like this maybe youll understand.

As he said that a red black shadow flowed out covering his entire body. It wrapped and wriggled around him before becoming a jet black armor.

Hows this?

That voice I quickly came to realize who he was. In the dungeon.

It was the voice that had originally bestowed upon me the Revenge Gods potion.

I see, so you were someone Shawn knew.

Hes my comrade. His name is

Shawn! The man interrupted. Theres no need to say anything more.

Ah, I see. My bad.

The man returned to his former human appearance.

I know what you want to say, for you this is nowhere. However, for us this is a prison.

I see, a prison.. What a magnificent way to put it my friend. Shawn said.

The two of them laughed from their bellies as if something was absurdly funny.

Oh, sorry sorry. Speaking of which, your body is properly sleeping on a bed. This is what youd call more of a mental body, so dont worry.

A mental body?

Its strictly an existence, but since weve called you here only temporarily thats all you need.

What are you talking about?

That potion that I gave you, its a drug that connects myself and the user.

Now wait just a minute. The story is a bit too sudden so I dont understand but, you did something to me through that drug? After using it I had felt something change.

It was made by mixing in my blood, the result was a one time use item that bestowed a skill on the user. The skill however was random, its a skill but Putting it in a way you would understand, its infinite class.

In other words a skill nobody has seen before.

Well all I had were rare skills so all that could have appeared was an amazing one. You were lucky, you got a skill that was even able to defeat Shawn. Although if you hadnt been lucky you probably would have died in that dungeon, wouldnt have been strange for that Mimic to have eaten you.

I see, thank you for helping me.

Dont worry about it, I just put it there experimentally.

So why did you summon me?

Shawn will explain.

Masamune, Im going to teach you my sword technique.

Ah? What is this guy saying all of a sudden? I wanted to know why you called me here.

I wont say. the man replied.

Is it related to why you wont tell me your name?

I wont tell you that either. Itll be the same answer even if you ask Shawn.

I see. Well then Shawn I would love for you too teach me but, why are you here?

I cant say.

Its not that they wont tell me then, its that they cant. Are these two tied down to something?

I understand what youre trying to say.

Although I wasnt particularly interested, I was however interested in the sword technique.

Well then, Ill teach you my sword technique. Although, it will be like that time you used the drug, it will be painful.

Thank you for giving it to me, but its a sword technique right? How long is it going to ta

Well then. Shawn placed his hand on my head.

Hey, what.

In the next instant pain ran through my body. The pain was intense enough to stop my breathing. It happened in an instant but it took some time for the shaking to disappear.

This is

I now had memories of sword techniques that I never had before.

Snake school, beast king school, Greyberg type swordsmanship, Imperial sword play, Lint, petrified bird school.

There were numerous sword techniques inside me now.

What is lint?

An elven sword technique.

I confirmed several sword techniques in my head, eventually arriving at one particular sword technique.

Whats this?

Thats my sword technique, I mixed all of the sword techniques together to create a single technique.

Unnamed?

This technique has no name, its only purpose is to kill.

Shawn seemed to be looking at me with distant eyes.

Why have you given this to me?

I cant say.

For now just think of it as a whim. The revenge God said. But make no mistake, it will be necessary.

Necessary? Does he mean on my adventure?

For some reason I felt that word held great meaning, but the revenge God wouldnt answer.

So you wont tell me that either.

If you want to know, figure it out for yourself. If you continue on your trip youll come to understand.

So essentially you cant answer. By the way Shawn, if you were this strong, why did you lose to me? With this sword skill you should have easily won.

I met a human for the first time in 150 years, and then we fought. It wasnt that I was careless but in that moment you were better than I was. That magic you showed me, it was something Id never seen. It was thin but I felt the presence of my friend there, so in that moment I misunderstood the magic. But it wasnt from my friend it was from you who had taken the drug, so in other words I was unable to see through your magic.

Meaning he was out of practice.

Masamune go to Beyoment. There youll meet a woman by the name of Khalifa. Once you find her say waiting on that hill. after she replies answer Im the third drawer. after that you will understand.

I dont understand, is this necessary?

It is. He appeared serious.

I just want to have a normal adventure. Whatever, Ill ask when I stop by that town.

Thats fine, and one more thing, learn some magic.

Learn magic?

Anywhere is fine, go to school. Mages around your age usually go to school and study.

But Im a healer.

I dont care, there are things you dont know. Even about being a healer you dont know everything. You can use any type of healing or support magic, if you learn the amount of magic you can use will expand, there is no limit to magic.

I understand, Ill go.

Are you being honest?

I was interested in magic school anyway so if I had the chance I wanted to go. I also have the effect of your drug.

The revenge God gave a relieve smile.

Masamune, if that snake sword doesnt agree with you, give it to the demon girl. Shell like it.

Youre watching?

I havent told them that Toa was with me but I suddenly started to feel tired.

Times up. The revenge God muttered.

We wont continue to call you here, we dont know when the next time will be. But I have a favor to ask.

My view distorted.

Find us.

With that my consciousness disappeared.
