The Underground City -

A magical maze filled with terrifying monsters, connected by winding paths.

It suddenly appeared in the world over a decade ago.

Countless monsters surged out of the ground like a black tide, causing the human army to retreat and blood to flow like rivers.

But the glorious profession of the warrior emerged in this disaster.

The legendary Mage Lolin counterattacked into the deepest level of the underground city, the "Foggy Hades," and killed the final Demon King!

With the loss of the Demon King's command, the monsters in the underground city could no longer form an effective attack.

After that, although monsters continued to spawn in the underground city, it was no longer a dangerous disaster, but a symbol of wealth, power, and authority!

The warriors were no longer frontline soldiers, but explorers of the underground city, bounty hunters earning wealth!

But the legendary Mage who started this era disappeared.

Now there is only his statue standing in the middle of the Hero Square.

The Mage statue is handsome and elegant, with a flowing robe, but a solemn expression, gazing into the distance with a wise face filled with compassion for the fate of humanity...

This is probably the sculptor's own imagination.

Unlike the untainted worldly existence of the Mage statue, the market around the statue is full of the atmosphere of the common people.

Here, vendors shout, warriors greet each other and inquire about their families, and the philosophical chants of wrestling resound.

The spoils obtained from the dungeon are sold here, and warriors rest, eat, and buy equipment.

The entrance to the underground city was originally a dark hole, but now a magnificent building has been erected above it.

The construction of the Holy White Stone is both sacred and luxurious, with towering pillars, making the building look like a temple.

Every day, there are a large number of adventurers coming in and out of this entrance.

The Spirit Guard named Lynlo seeks other prey in crowded places, and this is the first place Lynlo thinks of.

"Achoo!"

Lynlo sneezed inexplicably and rubbed his nose with his hand.

Is it the curse of Miss Michelle?

But as the saying goes, "When you have too many lice, it doesn't itch."

Lynlo used to think about leaving a good impression on the goddess, even if it wasn't outstanding, at least don't leave any bad memories, so that they could at least say hello in the future.

But after this morning's incident, Lynlo completely gave up on this idea.

According to the Spirit Guard, Miss Michelle is a "delicious dish" with A-level grudges. The future with her is long.

Since Lynlo offended her once, there is no going back. It doesn't make much difference to offend her a few more times.

Disgust, extreme disgust, what's the difference?

Since he has already offended her, what else can't he handle?

"There are enough people here. What do you think, system?" Lynlo asked.

"This system... I mean, this Spirit Guard is not a system. Please understand the difference, host."

"Okay."

"Follow-up task: collect grudges from all nearby people. Task reward: randomly generated."

"Hey!"

"If a higher-quality grudge is obtained, this Spirit Guard will automatically notify the host. Please rest assured, host."

"That's not what I meant! How am I supposed to collect grudges from so many people?"

If Lynlo were to act like he did with Miss Michelle, flipping up girls' skirts on the street and intentionally stepping on strong male warriors...

He would probably be beaten to death or dragged to the "Delightful House" next door.

"That's your own problem, host. If this Spirit Guard tells you how to do it, it's not a task anymore."

This world is cold and ruthless, even the system has no warmth.

Lynlo could only observe the surroundings and think with his clever mind as a transmigrator.

He saw a fruit stall with few customers and a bread stall with similarly poor business. Instantly, he thought of a very civilized way.

As a civilized person from a civilized world, of course, he had to collect grudges in a civilized manner.Lynlo borrowed an oven from a bread stall. At this point, the first few batches of bread had already been baked, and the oven was idle. With a few kind words, he managed to borrow the oven from the stall owner. He was wearing the school uniform of the Brave Academy, and just this attire represented a considerable level of credibility.

After borrowing the oven, he went to the deserted fruit stall and bought a certain type of fruit...

A few minutes later, a peculiar little stall opened in the Brave Square, with a hand-written sign in front of it:

【Exquisite Roasted Durian】.

Opening the durian shell and removing the fresh durian flesh, he placed it into the oven. 220 degrees Celsius, 3 minutes, and even the children next door...

Before the 3 minutes were up, the street erupted in boiling excitement due to the aroma wafting out of the oven.

A voice of unbearable rage burst from the crowd:

"Damn it, who the hell is stewing shit???"
