MY LIFE IN THE FORGOTTEN WORLD!

Sure thing! Here's the translation:

---

(Jaron's POV)

I was a bit shocked watching Kaden train.

He's just a kid with no mana, yet he used various combat techniques.

He utilized his surroundings, and although it was his first time fighting and using a bow, after a few shots, he gradually got the hang of it.

What shocked me even more were his senses; he had senses that a human usually wouldn't have without years of training.

'It seems this boy might have a chance to survive'.

I thought as I killed the bear that followed us after tracking Kaden's footprints.

(One year later)

A lot happened during this year.

Kaden learned many things, his use of the bow became excellent, his speed and reaction increased to the point that I couldn't keep up unless I used mana, and his senses became sharper day by day.

But he started to become more reckless and less patient, slowly developing arrogance.

So I told him this:

"Think with your mind, not your heart".

It seems he listened to my words because he started to become more cautious.

A month ago, Kaden lured the guard who sold information about him when he arrived and taught him a lesson to the point that he resigned from his job.

Now, I was sitting on the bed, carving arrows, waiting for Kaden to return from the market.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

I heard explosions, so I grabbed Kaden's bow and equipment and quickly went out to find him.

He was standing in the middle of the road, frozen with fear at the sight of the monsters he was seeing for the first time.

I punched him to bring him back to his senses, and we headed towards the inner city gate.

But as expected, they didn't let us in.

'They don't allow citizens to enter on regular days, and now during a crisis, of course, they will close their doors tightly'.

I thought as I looked at the people gathered at the gate.

We headed to the southwestern side of the wall and stayed there, waiting for the monsters to come towards us.

Our battle with the monsters lasted a long time, and the number of corpses we killed piled up to the hundreds.

Suddenly, the monsters started running away from our location, and I looked at them in surprise.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The ground started shaking, and Kaden fell from the roof, and I caught him.

I sensed the source of the sound and found a monster with a huge amount of mana behind the wall.

I told Kaden what I felt, and he seemed relieved suddenly, but then Kaden screamed.

"Jaron! Let's move away! It's going to break the wall!".

Realizing what was going to happen, I carried Kaden on my shoulder and started running with all my might.

"Watch out, Jaron, a big rock is going to fall on us."

When I looked back, I saw a giant rock flying towards us.

So I protected Kaden with my body and surrounded myself with mana to withstand the impact.

When the situation calmed down, I moved the fallen rock off me and looked around.

I suddenly noticed that Kaden was unconscious and his head was bleeding.

'Damn it! The rock hit his head and knocked him out'.

I tied a piece of cloth around his head to stop the bleeding and carried him on my back to get away from the place.

But it seems the monster didn't want to let us leave because I felt one of its tentacles approaching me, so I quickly dodged it.

'It seems I can't avoid this fight'.

But then I stood in place and thought.

Why am I protecting this child? If I throw him towards the monster now and distract it, I can escape easily.

So why am I defending this child?

["Isn't your daughter more important than your life? Why did you let her die at the hands of the monsters, Jaron?"]

I remembered someone's words from the past, words that always kept me from sleeping peacefully at night.

'I don't want to repeat the same mistake twice!'

I made Kaden lean against a nearby house and looked at the monster.

I took my spear out of the ring, but this time I took out a different spear from my hunting spear.

This spear was golden and had engravings indicating a certain emblem.

This spear, which I once swore never to hold again, I now held to defend a child I had no connection with.

I took my fighting stance and looked the monster directly in the eyes.

"You won't touch this child as long as I'm alive."

I jumped towards the monster and appeared directly in front of its face.

I tightened my grip on the spear and struck towards the monster with all my might, but the monster's tentacles suddenly extended and came towards me quickly, forcing me to retract my spear and defend.

Boom!

The monster's tentacles were very strong and hit me towards the wall, but it didn't stop there; it continued hitting me quickly and powerfully with its many tentacles.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

I managed to block most of them, but some hits landed on me.

Before I realized it, the monster's tentacles wrapped around me, lifted me into the air, and slammed me hard into the ground.

Boom!

"Ugh".

I felt terrible pain when I hit the ground, even though I was using mana to protect my body.

It wanted to lift me into the air again, but I planted my feet on the ground and didn't let it lift me.

"Do you think you'll have the upper hand throughout the fight?".

I grabbed my spear with my left hand and its tentacles with my right hand, cut one of its tentacles, and moved away.

Aaaahhh!

The monster let out an ear-piercing sound as it retreated.

But the tentacles I cut started growing back and returned to their original state.

'So it's a regenerative type'.

I thought as I looked at the monster, which was now angry and staring at me.

'Fine! I need to use this technique'.

Jaron stepped his left foot back, planted his right foot on the ground, held his spear tightly, and took a deep breath.

"Hoo".

[The Almighty Spear: The Divine Step]

After Jaron uttered these words, he suddenly disappeared from his place.

Whoosh!

Jaron appeared behind the monster, standing and holding his spear.

There was a huge gash in the middle of the monster, as if its organs had vanished in an instant.

The monster started to fall gradually to the ground, dissolving like liquid.

Suddenly, Jaron fell to his knees and began bleeding.

"Ugh".

Jaron vomited a lot of blood, his face turning pale.

'That's why I don't like using this technique; it consumes all my mana and requires an excellent physical condition'.

Jaron put his spear back in the ring and started walking slowly towards Kaden, his body covered in wounds, and his right arm broken.

It took him some time because he stumbled a lot along the way.

"Hey, kid! Wake up!".

Jaron started shouting at Kaden to wake up and slapped his cheek a few times.

Suddenly, Kaden opened his eyes, surprised, and when he looked at Jaron, his eyes were trembling.

"Jaron! What's happening here?".

"Hah, what's wrong, kid? It's just a few scratches".

Suddenly, Jaron vomited blood again and felt pain in his stomach, so he looked down.

But despite what he saw, he remained calm.

Jaron was currently kneeling, his blood flowing, and in the middle of his stomach, there was a giant tentacle piercing through his entire abdomen!
