When I traveled through time and became a player, I just wanted to commit suicide

In the morning, there were dark clouds outside the house, and the depressing atmosphere fell heavily on Tifa's heart.

She opened the door and came to the corridor, her face a little haggard.

Last night, her perception of Lithen disappeared for a while, so much so that she thought Lithen died in the castle.

Fortunately, in the morning, the feeling came back to her.

In fact, situations like this have occurred several times in the past.

Contact with Nuyin was spotty, like... to use a modern term, well... bad signal.

Tifa privately believed that this might be Lithen trying to remove the slave mark on him in some way.

Of course, Tifa had no objection to this and never asked Lithen about the matter, pretending not to know anything about it.

If Lithen can successfully remove the slave mark, it will be great news for Tifa.

But since the birth of the Slavery Slave, no one except death has been able to successfully remove it.

Even powerful extraordinary beings can only resist the control of the master of the slave mark to gain limited freedom.

Leaning against the wooden railing and looking at Farm City under the clouds, Tifa fell slightly into memories.

Six years ago, she had just turned thirteen and was playing outside the village with her five children, who were much younger than herself.

However, that afternoon, when she was about to lead the children home, a group of soldiers wearing dark purple armor suddenly passed by the village road.

They marched towards the village in neat steps, wearing uniform thorn collars around their necks and with numb expressions.

Tifa, who was sitting in the woods far away and saw this scene, even though she didn't recognize those soldiers, felt a strong sense of fear in her heart for no reason.

It was like a deer walking on the roadside was suddenly stared at by a tiger in the forest.

Out of fear, Tifa did not dare to take the children back to the village, but hid around the woods for a while.

Then, they saw thick smoke floating over the village from a distance, and there seemed to be faint cries.

Tifa realizes that the village has been plundered by those soldiers.

So, worried about her parents, she asked the children to continue hiding in the woods and ran to the village alone.

But whether it was a pity or luck, she was a step slower.

When she returned to the village, the large thatched houses were already on fire and the village was almost empty.

She hurried home.

The once warm home was also engulfed in flames. Tables and chairs in the house were overturned, crops hanging on the walls were scattered on the ground, and traces of dragging and struggling remained on the ground.

She stared blankly at the gorgeous flames like flowers, as if the fourteen years she had lived in the yard had burned away.

Tifa knelt on the ground silently, feeling no pain even though her knees were burned.

Then, I don’t know how long it took, she met the master who was passing by.

The Master brought her out of the fire and told her that her village had been attacked by the Order of Sloth's army.

Their army always does this kind of thing at a certain time.

Some people suspect that in order to maintain the number of slaves on the entire continent, once the number of slaves on the entire continent drops to a certain level, they will intervene and capture a group of people who used to live a normal life as slaves.

Tifa listened to her master's story in confusion, not knowing where to go for a moment.

The master lived with Tifa and the remaining children in the village for three years.

During this period, he taught her how to stimulate the potential in her body, gather her essence, and become a transcendent. He also showed her the path of a martial artist.

Perhaps influenced by her master's cheerful personality, Tifa slowly emerged from the shadow of the destruction of her village and home, and her personality gradually returned to normal.

But she will never forget the pain the Order of Sloth caused her.

One day, she will give the Order of Sloth a hard slap in the face.

After confirming that Tifa had the ability to live independently, the master left. Before leaving, she told Tifa:

The hatred buried in her heart is the driving force to stimulate potential, and it is also the seed of destruction, but no matter what the outcome, this path can only be walked by Tifa herself.

Tifa remembered this sentence, but she couldn't quite understand what it meant.

Then, she came to Farm City with her five children, and later met Eivor, who was still a pharmacist's apprentice, and Basat, who was down and out.

They formed a team and began to practice around Farm City, during which they also recruited other team members one after another.

But those team members basically stayed for a short time, and often quit after a few missions with excuses.

Probably because their team's mission cycle is too long, and they often don't start accepting commissions until the money is almost exhausted.

This is because everyone in the squad is busy.

Eivor has a heavy study load at the pharmacy and doesn't have much free time.

Bassat has been investigating matters related to his former master's family, and will only take time out to accept commissions.

While Tifa wanted to focus on honing her strength so that she could be promoted to gold level as soon as possible, she also found a stable job in a tavern.

She fostered the five children in a village outside the city, visiting them every once in a while and paying child support to the foster family.

Most of her money was basically spent on child support.

Tifa knew that the foster family might have asked for more money than was reasonable, but there was nothing she could do.

If other transcendent beings with ulterior motives knew of the existence of these five children, perhaps this would become a weapon against her.

Therefore, her biggest request for that family is to keep it secret, completely secret, and not to reveal her existence.

After receiving the money, the family did the same.

After all, exposing Tifa would not do them any good, and would only offend a powerful transcendent.

Tifa had actually investigated the existence of a secret little stronghold of the Sloth Cult in Farm City.

She even found out the strength of the garrison inside, which was pseudo-gold level.

But this is not something Tifa can deal with easily. Even if Basat and Eivor are added, there will be great risks.

Not to mention, she was not prepared to involve Basat and Eivor in her affairs.

This is her business, her responsibility, and can only be done by her alone.

However, I didn't expect that the stronghold would be destroyed by a passing magician.

Tifa's senses are complex for Lithen.

In her eyes, Lithern sometimes has very special ideas, but sometimes he can be very naive.

For example, regarding the slave mark, Tifa could sense that Lithen seemed to have a better solution, but perhaps out of some concerns, he did not do that, and instead chose a risky, compromise solution. options.

Lithen's trust in Tifa was naive, but also a little wary.

He made himself the first to establish a slave seal, and the two parties established a spiritual connection. This connection allows people to more or less detect each other's emotions when the two face each other, although not much.

Perhaps, it was precisely because he realized that Tifa did not have any ill intentions that he felt relieved and entrusted the remaining twelve children to Tifa's hands.

But after being marked as a slave, Lisern didn't seem to have much worry. He was not worried that he would be completely controlled, as if he had any countermeasures.

After this period of observation, it turns out that Lisern does have that ability. This can be seen from the intermittent contact with Nuyin.

The existence of an ownerless slave mark is very dangerous to everyone who is marked with a slave mark.

Because not only people from the Sloth Cult will be looking for them, but also bounty hunters, church slave hunting groups, slave black market merchants and other forces will come looking for them, but their detection methods are not as sophisticated as the Sloth Cult.

But it will still be very dangerous. Maybe if you don't pay attention, someone will be captured by a certain force.

This may also be the reason why Leathern chose such an expedient measure out of desperation.

However, judging from the current situation, Lithen will be able to remove the slave mark on himself sooner or later, but I don't know if there will be a way to deal with the slave marks on Alice and the others.

If not, then transfer the control of the slave mark back to Lithen.

Tifa thought so.

She actually doesn't like being associated with things like Nuyin.

While Tifa was looking at the sky and thinking deeply, the sound of hurried footsteps came from downstairs.

"Sister Tifa, something happened!" Eivor came to her panting.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Eivor's panic, Tifa asked, her wine-red eyes showing a little solemnity.

"Someone discovered that the slave army of the Sloth Cult appeared dozens of miles away. The villages along the way have been wiped out by them. They... may be heading towards Fam City."

Faced with the rumored army that was constantly attacking cities and plundering people, Eivor also lost his usual calmness and his face was full of anxiety.

"Slave army, villages along the way..."

Tifa muttered and repeated it, and then she immediately thought of the five children she had fostered in the village outside.

That was the last fire in the village.

"No, no...I'm going."

She immediately left the wooden fence and wanted to run downstairs.

"Wait, Sister Tifa, it's too late."

Eivor desperately held onto Tifa, and he also knew about those children.

"The slave army dispersed many small teams to attack those villages, and the main force has been approaching Famu City. The city has received news, and capable people have begun to pack up their things and leave Famu City."

Eivor persuaded him very quickly.

"They were caught. As long as we escape, we still have a chance to redeem them. If we are all caught, no one will be able to rescue them."

"Sister Tifa, being marked as a slave is not terrible. The terrible thing is that no one can change their fate."

Under Eivor's urgent but sensible persuasion, Tifa gradually calmed down.

She also knew that she couldn't change anything by going to that village. First, she didn't have enough time, and second, she didn't have enough strength.

In front of the slave army, she was like a wave hitting the rocks, with no other end than being shattered into pieces.
