chapter 1
1 – #001 I am the one who decides to log out.
There were 108 warriors.
-Please defeat the demon king and protect this world, hero.
I was forcibly summoned by a goddess from another world.
-If you defeat the demon king, we will send you back to the original world.
There was no way to go back voluntarily.
The Goddess gave us a weapon called ‘System’, and we had only one option left.
– You can go back home when you see the ending.
We had to become warriors to return to Earth.
One year.
We defeated the Demon King.
108 Warriors risked their lives and fought, and we defeated the Demon King.
And now.
We are now 5 people.
The ruins of the Demon Castle.
Above the devastated land, there is a goddess and 5 warriors.
[Thank you. Warriors from another world.]
The black sky lifted, and the goddess with white wings spread came down to the ground.
[Thanks to all of you, this world was saved. Thank you very much.]
I had a lot to say, but I didn’t have the energy to say it.
Because I was almost half dead.
In order to defeat the demon king, even production supporters like me had to be mobilized.
The last attack team, 16 people.
Among them, I was included.
-You can still fight. Even if you’re not the strongest in the world, even if you’re not strong, you’re a man who can fight alongside us.
All I can do is porters.
Strength is strong enough to protect your luggage while your allies fight.
…At least, it was strong enough not to hold back allies’ ankles in the back of the ‘Hero Party’.
Early summoning.
That’s why I had to go through the ‘tutorial’.
There was nothing I could do except the shuttle carrying a lot of potions in my backpack.
– What? Undertaker? What is your job?
-…A job that buries us when we die?
My job was a special job inferior to that of the lowly, and it didn’t help me in battle at all.
– I think I will die if I go out with you. Sorry.
-It’s life-threatening, so please understand.
-I’m resting in the back. Fighting is what we do.
So I was abandoned as soon as the tutorial was over.
And now, I defeated the demon lord together with ‘the people of this world’.
I did my best.
I did everything I could to survive, to return home.
And once, it was annihilated.
-You’re weak. Come back stronger
After all the final raiding parties were annihilated.
-You’re back. And… You’ve gotten stronger. You survived alone this time, but you defeated me. Admit it, warrior. You, no, you defeated the Demon King.
Among the summoned heroes, I was the only one, but I challenged the demon king again with my colleagues from this world and killed him.
[Now you can go back to your world. We will return it to the time you were summoned.]
Tears flowed as soon as the goddess spoke.
The joy that everything is over.
I feel sorry for the numerous siblings I personally held funerals for.
“Wow, crazy…! Goodbye to this filthy world…!”
“Ha. Shiba. Saying goodbye to being a nobleman now. Ha, shall we just stick together and live here?”
“Sounds crazy. He said he would live sucking honey with the magic he learned here when he goes back to Korea.”
“……Send me home quickly.”
And the fury that those evil things survived.
Everyone died, everyone died fighting.
“What? Why do you open your eyes like that? Are you dissatisfied?”
“If you twist it, don’t catch the demon king. Why do you want to capture the demon king and see it that way?”
“Now, now. Let’s not do that. But we’re all classmates, so let’s not do that. Uh, um… What was your original name? Sorry. It’s been a year since I can remember…? Sorry!”
“…….”
Things that haven’t done anything are doing that.
Everyone is laughing at the things that didn’t help in attacking the demon lord.
“Why? The Demon King has fallen. Did we do all we had to do? Want to say thank you? Thank you. Really.”
“I did not defeat it myself, but I caught the demon king with the help of people in this world. Why is that? Or write it. It will be a really good portfolio. Puff.”
“Hey, don’t be like that. But thanks to him, I’m going back to Earth. Huh?”
“Okay, let me go back quickly. I don’t want to be here any longer.”
You defeated the Demon King.
However, it wasn’t ‘us’ they called that defeated the demon king.
Residents of this world.
The last attacking team that was wiped out.
And the warriors who fought alongside me until the end.
I joined forces with the inhabitants of this world to defeat the Demon King.
They weren’t there.
Objectively speaking, if you really look at it from the perspective of people in this world.
What role did they play in catching the demon king?
Let alone the demon lord, did he even play a small role in catching the demon lord’s army?
When the numerous motives I buried with my hands died, where did they do what?
[Now, I will return you to Earth. But there is a problem.]
My heart sinks.
[The demon king destroyed the connection between the world and the world.]
Suddenly a problem.
At best, I defeated the demon king, but now I’m going to say something again.
[So there are only two of you I can send back to Earth right now.]
At the words of the goddess, all five survivors fell into contemplation.
“This dog…”
I wanted to swear at the tantrum rising from below, but I couldn’t say anything because of the pain in my lungs.
“Well, then let me go! I worked the hardest!”
“Even if I didn’t fight directly, do you know how hard I worked behind the scenes? Me? Should I go back to Earth?”
“What are you talking about. Guys, you say living here is better than living on Earth? You know I’m in my mom and dad’s hospital! If you’re going back, I’ll go!”
“…Hah. Two out of five? Then…”
The atmosphere becomes grim.
No matter how much surpluses with power do not have the ability to fight each other against the demon lord, they are basically those who have a ‘system’.
“…….”
Four people’s eyes are focused on me.
Originally, in such a law of the weak, the weakest will be eaten.
Especially if it is a being that is stronger than themselves, but is seriously injured and is about to die.
Since everyone is supported by the system, it wouldn’t be a chore to pick a man on the brink of death.
Even those who have never caught a single goblin before.
“…Sir.”
It’s unfair.
First of all, the deceased mates will also curse at me, saying that this is not the case.
Aside from receiving help from my colleagues, there were things that even nose plucking did not show in the demon castle.
Things that appeared in front of my eyes after the demon king fell and ‘after the goddess summoned them’.
Now they’re going to kill me and share the tickets to Earth among themselves.
[Calm down, everyone. It is not me who decides between the two.]
“What?”
[This decision was made after careful consideration. I don’t have much godly power left, but one person has a chance to choose two people who can go to Earth.]
Why are you taking so much time off to say something?
If that one person is not a goddess, will the dead devil decide?
[Among the last five surviving warriors, we will give you a choice for the one who played the most decisive role.]
“What…?”
[Dear ‘The Undertaker’.]
This is my job.
Undertaker (葬儀社).
A person who honors the spirits of the dead.
-Occupation: Undertaker. The one who burials the dead warriors. Dead bodies can be sent to Earth.
…When the 108 people summoned to this world die, they send their bodies back to Earth instead of letting them rot in this world.
A job that is all the more unpleasant because it is a job for which the hero ‘presumes to die’.
Because of the perception that making a party with a mortician is like dying before the ending, I couldn’t party with anyone.
[You can choose two people. The power of the gods has been entrusted to you.]
“What? Now, wait! Why is he deciding!”
[Because you made the biggest contribution to defeating the demon king.]
“Who decides that?!”
[I decided.]
The goddess was watching.
Everything.
[I am a powerless goddess with no influence on this world, but I will use the last power given to me here.]
Pass.
Light powder flowed in front of my eyes.
The powder gradually became a jewel and nestled in my hand, and each became a black and white ring.
[Thank you for saving this world.]
The goddess also became light and faded.
Just as the ash left after burning firewood is blown away by the wind, the goddess became her mist and flew far into the sky.
“…….”
The gaze toward me began to change.
His eyes, which were mixed with anger and contempt, pathetic and pity, now began to contain bewilderment and desperation.
“Hey…”
“Hey.”
“Hey…? I’m a year older than you-“
“It’s open.”
Every time I speak, I feel like my wounds are bursting inside, so I feel like dying, but I have to say this.
“You guys have been free riding in real life, so are you going to take a free ride in another world?”
“What, what…!”
“No.”
I grabbed the ring from my hand.
Two rings.
How to use it naturally permeated into my head the moment I held the ring in my hand.
“I go first.”
I put the ring in my bosom.
As soon as I put my hand into my bosom, my body slowly began to glow with the light of mana.
“Let’s never see each other again.”
“Hey, hey!! It’s two people! Give me one, b*tch, no, that…!!”
With all your remaining strength.
“…[Teleport].”
I tore the teleport scroll out of my pocket.
* * *
“It’s an unfamiliar ceiling.”
My motive was like that.
He was an otaku hyung, if you open your eyes and see a place for the first time in your life, be sure to say this.
I don’t know why.
He gave a lengthy explanation in his own way, but in the end, I didn’t hear the reason.
Because he’s dead.
He was killed by his demons while trying to save me.
I personally held a funeral for him, who had been attacked by orcs and turned into a cold corpse.
“Are you awake?”
A familiar voice.
I feel relieved because I am so used to it.
It’s an unfamiliar ceiling, but I think I know what happened after I passed out.
“How stunned you were.”
“Three days.”
“Three days…”
I barely got myself up.
Bandages were wrapped around the body, and magic amulets for healing were attached to the body.
“Saint.”
“Yes, [Undertaker].”
“It’s just a mortician. Rather than an unfamiliar name, mortician.”
“This is the name you have as a hero. You can be proud. You defeated the demon king.”
“…Only with help from others.”
For me, being a mortician is enough.
“What about colleagues?”
“…Who are you talking about?”
“The companions who went to the Demon Castle with me.”
The saintess glanced outside her with her complicated face.
“Sorry, but they’re all dead.”
“…….”
“There are five survivors, including you-“
“What?”
What nonsense is that?
“Five people? Our party is all wiped out except for me-“
“The warriors who survived the battle with the demon we found in the demon castle.”
The saintess frowned at her face and sighed in a voice as if she were vomiting her worms.
“…Five. One undertaker. And four women.”
No.
“I hope the hero recovers elsewhere-“
“Saint.”
I grabbed the saintess’ hand.
“Please put all four of them in jail.”
“Yes? All of a sudden…?”
“They’re trying for my life.”
Hyenas are looking for a ticket to return to Earth.
“They are not my colleagues.”
Even if.
Even if one of them is my ex.
“I don’t know women.”
There is a quest after the ending of
