*Thump* The man fell backward, and it seemed as if he was about to drop dead once again.

It was not easy for Chu Nan to find another human, so he did not want to pass by the opportunity to understand more about the world he was in.

He hastily took out a small crystal healing potion from his bracelet and, with no time to care how it should be taken, Chu Nan poured it into the man’s mouth.

The complexion of the deathly pale man — who appeared as if he would meet the king of hell at any moment — gradually recovered. His ragged breathing had also stabilized while the wounds on his body healed rapidly.

Chu Nan let out a deep sigh of relief and calmed himself down. He then carefully put the half-filled crystal healing potion back into his spatial bracelet. Although there were numerous crystal healing potions and other types of restoration potions in the bracelet, the thought that he would be unable to replenish them made Chu Nan reluctant to use them.

The man regained his vitality and jumped up from the ground soon after. He then carefully looked at Chu Nan and asked, “You… who are you? Why do you have so many copies of ?”

Chu Nan laughed bitterly. If he were to explain that he had crossed over from an online game, would the man even understand? He reckoned that it would probably be a wasted effort to try and explain the term ‘online game’.

The man sized up the silent Chu Nan and his wary expression gradually turned into excitement as the corner of his lips curled up. As a warrior, he could identify that Chu Nan was not trained in any martial arts nor was his body considered tough. Chu Nan was no different from trash in his eyes.

Trash like him possessed so many copies of and a miraculous potion that could allow a dying person to recover?

The man surveyed his surroundings again and the corner of his eyes curved into crescents. Killing powerless trash in an uninhabited area and robbing his skill books along with the miraculous healing potion… what a wonderful thing that would be.

As someone who frequently watched dramas, Chu Nan saw a similar expression that villains usually displayed on the man’s face.

“You… What are you thinking of doing…?”

Chu Nan retreated in cautiousness and secretly moved his right hand with the spatial bracelet on behind his back.

“What am I doing?” The man revealed a fierce expression and lightly waved the dagger in his hands. “Nothing much. I just feel that the potion you used on me earlier is miraculous. Can you give it to me? And you better obediently hand over those copies of . Or else…” The man chuckled.

Chu Nan briefly shivered and the ruby on his middle finger radiated a faint light. “Returning kindness with disrespect? Don’t tell me you were a mountain bandit in the past?”

“Mountain bandit?” The man raised his brow and revealed a scornful expression as he grinned hideously. “That was merely one of my careers! Robbery, murder, rape! There’s nothing I haven’t done! If you don’t hand over those items now, I’ll **** you up!”

“In that case, you’re a bad guy?” Chu Nan asked earnestly.

“Bad guy?” The man revealed a row of yellowed teeth, “Your father, I, am a villain!”

“Oh,” Chu Nan held on to his chin and said, “Even though I already accepted this reality, I still treated you as an NPC.”

“What’s an NPC? What the heck are you muttering?” With a casual swing of his dagger, the man cut off the head of a corpse and shouted, “Hurry up and hand over the secret skill book, potion, and whatever NPC you’re talking about! Otherwise I’ll kill you right now!”

“Sigh!” Chu Nan shook his head and raised his finger. A red flame danced on his fingertips and fire magic instantly flooded his surroundings. “I performed good deeds in an unknown forest, yet my generosity was reciprocated with animosity… Even though I haven’t killed, I don’t wish to die just yet…”

“You…” For the first time, the man revealed a panicked expression and he slowly walked backward. “You… you are a fire-elemental mage…”

“Fire-elemental mage?” Chu Nan was interested in what he said. “In that case, there are mages in this world? Tell me more about this world.”

The man had already suspected Chu Nan to be a lunatic based on his weird speech; nobody in their right mind would enter this terrifying forest.

Normal people would not fight it out with lunatics and so, the man could not care to answer Chu Nan’s questions as he turned and escaped.

Chu Nan had finally met with another human after much difficulty and therefore wanted to inquire about this place; thus, how could he allow the man to escape? He chased behind him and shouted, “Stop right there!”

During his career as a thief, there was no lack of situations where he was chased by others. The moment he heard the word ‘stop’, he subconsciously turned back and threw his dagger while hastening his speed.

After two days in the forest, Chu Nan had already developed a habit of immediately retaliating the moment he was attacked. As soon as he saw the opponent’s dagger, he subconsciously raised his hand and shouted, “Fireball!”

The lively fire-element happily gathered together and shot out from the magic ring at a fast speed. By the time Chu Nan realized he had made a mistake, it was already too late.

After the man running ahead heard the word ‘fireball’, he felt as if he dropped into a furnace. Not only did the fire burn his skin, countless fire-elements had permeated into his pores and invaded his body, causing his internal organs to burn.

“You’re truly a lunatic…” After the man released a last miserable shriek, he instantly turned into a dried corpse.

A warm but weak current flowed around Chu Nan’s body and if he paid slight attention to it, he would have noticed that the current was slightly stronger than when he had killed the grey wolf.

He did not have time to pay attention to it as he had just killed another human. He was stunned.

“I killed someone?”

Chu Nan looked at the corpse on the ground. He did not feel much fear or guilt after he found out he had killed someone. It was as if what he had killed was not a living person but instead, a deer or a wolf.

“Don’t tell me I’m a natural-born killing maniac?” Chu Nan scratched his head and quickly dismissed this thought. He had seen someone jumping off a building and their dead body in pieces back when he was on Earth. At that time, he felt uncomfortable the entire day.

“Could it be that I’ve seen too many bloody scenes in the forest these past two days? As a result, I’ve adapted to it?” He found an excuse for himself and turned around once again to look at those dead bodies.

“I wonder if I can still save another one.”
