Crossing through the forest near Anda town is the neighboring town of Locco. With Kells’ reputation in Anda, even if you beat this kid to death, he wouldn’t dare to work there. Besides, I believe no one would employ this famous Kamikaze Kaitou as a shop assistant. However, once you get to Locco, it’s an entirely different matter. Although Locco and Anda are neighboring, in reality, they are separated by as much as a week’s journey on foot. But that’s via the main road—if you traverse the forest, it only takes three days’ journey on foot. Of course, only a fool would enter the forest, for there are monsters inside!

  Kells’ family, having no other options, was forced to move into the forest to reside. There have always been rumors saying that monsters appear in the forest, and therefore, for a very long time, no one dared to enter there. They seized this opportunity to avoid those angry girls! Compared to the terrifying monsters, Kells’ family feared them more…

  In fact, they lived here for as long as five years without ever encountering those so-called monsters. In this damned forest, even ordinary wild beasts are hard to come across! Monsters and whatnot are probably just rumors spread by some bored fellow, but this rumor, as it turns out, helped Kells’ family.

  Today is the day Kells prepares to go to Locco to work. His elderly parents had long ago packed his luggage for him. When her son was about to set off, his mother stuffed all the dried rabbit meat from home into his travel bag in one go.

  “Dad, Mom, this dried rabbit meat is the food you prepared for winter! If you give it to me, what will you eat? I know that a few days ago, some wild beast caused trouble, and all the vegetables you planted were ruined…” Kells wanted to take the dried rabbit meat out of his travel bag, but he was stopped by his father.

  “Son, once you leave this time, we don’t know when you’ll be able to come back. Our family doesn’t have a single coin. If you go out into the world without money, you won’t even have a place to stay. But this is all we can do. Never mind the lodging—at least you need to fill your stomach. The rest is up to you, son. As for me and your mother, really, don’t worry. Dad can still go hunting. Those ruined vegetables—your mother and I will replant them in a few days. Fortunately, at this time, we haven’t missed the days for storing food for winter.”

  “Dad… if only I could…” Hearing his father’s words, Kells felt a bit sad, unable to hold back the tears welling up in his eyes.

  “Hehe, son, although we are poor, our hearts are forever pure. I know your abilities, but as a person, you must not cross that line. If you cross it, our essence as human beings will change.” Dad gently stroked his son’s head, speaking slowly.

  “The essence of being human? If we end up starving to death, what meaning could there be?”

  “Son, in short, you must not cross that line. Your mother and I will take care of ourselves. When you’re out there alone, you absolutely must behave properly and not always do those pointless things. Oh, by the way, Mom, take all those things out of his bag for me!”

  “Oh! No!!!” Seeing his mom pick up his bag and make a move to take out the contents inside, Kells leaped forward in one bound and snatched it back. Inside the bag was Kells’ longing for all the girls of Anda town! This was practically his life source—he wouldn’t abandon it no matter where he went. Speaking of which, this guy had to admire them once every single day…

  “Sigh! Unfilial son, fine, do as you please. When you get to Locco, you absolutely must not let anyone know about your bad habits. If you can’t even stay in Locco, then there really will be no way out.” His father helplessly spread his hands. He knew his son best—this pointless hobby of his had reached a疯狂 level, something even an ox cart couldn’t pull back.

  “Haha, I know, Dad. I’ll work hard and earn money. Your son is in great health—he can do any kind of work!” Kells said, patting his chest.

  “Well, if it weren’t for that bad habit of yours, you really wouldn’t have trained up this set of skills. I really don’t know whether Dad should feel sad or happy…” His father was a bit at a loss whether to laugh or cry. His son’s body was indeed much stronger than his peers, especially that running speed he took pride in—even the town’s swordsmanship instructor couldn’t catch up to him!

  As for why the swordsmanship instructor couldn’t catch up to Kells, it’s obvious once you mention it: he has a daughter, and she’s quite pretty…

  Of course, Kells’ abilities aren’t limited to just running away. This kid can open almost any kind of lock. However, his father taught him from a young age that he absolutely must not steal other people’s money or belongings. From childhood to adulthood, aside from girls’ small panties, Kells really hasn’t touched anything else. Speaking of which, if this kid did bad things, he’d have been filthy rich long ago. But he absolutely wouldn’t do it, because Kells knows that if he did, his dad and mom would be very, very sad. Although he is lustful, dirty, shameless, and vulgar, but! Speaking of which, these two words “but” are truly powerless here—those few traits alone are completely enough to negate a person’s entire life…

  This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

  Continuing from that “but” just now… but! Kells is extremely filial to his parents. Apart from this bad habit, he is indeed a kind and good child.

  And one more thing, as mentioned earlier, Kells’ nose is extremely sensitive, comparable to a hunting dog.

  The points above are all of Kells’ abilities. Of course, without exception, every single one of these abilities has been used on crooked and evil ways. But today, Kells is going to bid farewell to his vulgar life in Anda and start a new life. Let’s not mention the past—from now on, the pure youth Kells is born!

  After the final wave and tears, Kells bid farewell to his parents and his home. This was the first parting of his life. Kells, whose skin had always been super thick, actually felt a sense of reluctance. Tears kept flowing like a woman’s…

  “Dad! Mom! Goodbye! Without me around, you’ll definitely live more peacefully. Of course, your son will also strive hard. After working hard to earn money for equipment, I’ll have my day of success. Then I’ll hire a big bunch of beauties to go adventuring and do tasks together! Hehe! Hehe!” Thinking of this, Kells smiled with tears streaming down his face. That smile in this state looked extremely conflicted. His dad and mom, already some distance away, could still see that conflicted face of his. The two elderly parents even thought their son had gone mentally unstable from the fear of leaving home…

  Finally, the sentimental farewell was over. Kells carried his treasures and the dried rabbit meat his mother had stuffed into his bag and entered the depths of the forest. In the five years of living in the forest, Kells had also learned another skill, and that was identifying directions. Even in a dense, endless forest, he still had a way to walk out. Of course, the premise was not encountering monsters. Speaking of monsters, they are animals with magical power scattered all over the De Rossi Continent. According to the abilities and strengths of the monsters, they are classified on the continent into these levels: G, F, E, D, C, B, A, S, Super S, and Lesser God.

  Monsters of the G, F, E, D levels are relatively common, with relatively low abilities. However, even for the lowest-level G monsters, without the level of an advanced swordsman or a low-tier magician, there’s no way to deal with them at all. Ordinary people seeing them are simply instantly killed. For a guy like Kells who runs fast, as long as he doesn’t run into monsters above level F, there’s still hope he could escape. It seems among the level D monsters, there’s a type called rock monsters that move extremely slowly—even ordinary people could escape from them. All the others are monsters faster than humans.

  Levels C and B are already considered extremely rare levels. Killing any single one from these two levels could yield enough wealth for an ordinary person to live an entire lifetime. Of course, trying to eliminate them without sufficient strength is simply a dream.

  When monsters reach level A, they already fall into the category of regional overlords or racial kings. This is already a task that a single person cannot handle. On the De Rossi Continent, even if human abilities reach their absolute limit, they cannot surpass level A monsters! It is said that in human history, there have been several large-scale hunting events for level A monsters. It is said that each time, the number of strong participants reached over 200, and their abilities were all at the top of their professions. For mid-tier individuals to participate in the hunt was simply suicidal behavior, and during the hunting process, more than 50 strong individuals would lose their lives each time.

  The dragons that people are familiar with are level A monsters! Speaking of which, that task back then to kill an evil dragon with a princess thrown in as a reward was truly deceptive. So many strong individuals lost their lives because of it, and the guy who dealt the final blow to the evil dragon even died from excessive excitement. As a result, the princess issued an even more deceptive task the next year…

  Continuing with monsters, level S monsters are basically something humans will never see. But since they’re classified that way, they definitely exist. However, they’re generally only found in myths and legends… The immortal bird, the phoenix, is a level S monster that frequently appears in myths. There are also things like demon lords, abyss overlords, and the like—things so unimaginable you can’t even picture what they look like… Demons, these terrifying creatures, are themselves level B or above monsters. As for lords, whether they even exist is an unknown. And that abyss overlord is a giant creature from the deep sea—legend says that when this thing surfaces, its size is as big as a village! This is pure fiction, and basically, no one believes it…

  Speaking of which, that princess’s deceptive task the next year was to hunt a level S monster with the princess thrown in as a reward! As a result, that princess remained a widow for her entire life! A ruler’s words are no joking matter—once she said it, she couldn’t take it back; that’s the royal family’s rule… It can be said she reaped what she sowed.

  As for the Super S and Lesser God levels, humans have been researching for over a thousand years why these two classifications exist. After more than a thousand years of study, the final conclusion is this: it’s estimated that these two levels were established by other races more powerful than humans. As for why they established these two levels, you’d have to ask them…

  This basic knowledge of monsters is a required introductory course for mercenaries. Kells had long memorized it by heart. What was just said was merely a review—like a welcoming ceremony for the upcoming vulgar mercenary life. Besides, crossing the forest alone is really boring. Kells, this guy, aside from stealing small panties, isn’t very brave at other times. Speaking of which, the forest at night is really terrifying!

  Add to that the persistent rumors of monsters circulating all this time, which made the timid Kells even more depressed. At midnight, with the slightest rustle of wind or movement of grass, his whole body could leap up from deep sleep and get into a ready-to-flee stance. Too nervous… It’s still safer holding onto the small panties. Kells thought so and did so.
