This isn’t a story of a noble knight or a savior. This is the tale of a cynical knight in the hack-and-slash game world with the maximum difficulty setting. 

No system to help him.

No status panel to notify his progress.

No HUD to give him hints.

However, one hope remains. The knight “Crow” retains an in-game ability. By shattering objects or defeating enemy leaders, he can summon random game items as if the world itself is still a game. With a pet crow "Cow-Cow" by his side, the Crow Knight trudges through this treacherous land, armed with sarcasm, stubbornness, and a knack for minding his own business until fate decides otherwise.

Also, please do not speak in caps. He hates it.

Oh, did I forget to mention that his pet crow has three legs? What? It isn't important? Never mind, then.

To be honest, I was stumped. I would have faced several unsolvable problems if I turned down their proposal. I glanced at the minecart full of treasure.


Who would take this to a nearby town? I couldn't for sure. If I made multiple trips, patrolling soldiers from either Invidia or Avaritia would surely steal everything. The precious caerulex ore would be very important years later.


But what about accompanying them? Many problems would ensue. Scenario two of Lenitia would take place shortly. The same went for Lia's, since she would need to fight off another great general's subordinates to open a path for Lenitia.


I was out of wine. Even though my musou bar was full, I doubted I could defeat a thousand enemies like characters in a video game. Again, I didn't have infinite stamina.


But if I didn't go with them, where would I get food?
