🕑 Added 2025-07-03 02:00:05 +0000 UTCAnton, followed by his maids, guards, and the healers, went to the room where Torban was resting. He did not waste any time and immediately added Torbin’s brother to his Diablo II party system and activated his Prayer Aura after they removed the bandages that covered the dwarf’s arm and leg stumps.
Torbin woke up and, just like the others, was flabbergasted to see his arms and legs growing at an appalling rate. It was almost horrifying to see bones, muscles, veins, and tissue growing from the remains of the dwarf’s amputated arms and legs. After a few seconds, Torbin was restored to full health. He immediately jumped from his bed and hugged his brother.
“My arms and legs are back! Thank you so much, Sir Anton, for spending what must have been a huge amount of coins!” Torbin said while crying.
“I didn’t spend anything. It’s my spell that healed you. I did tell you when I hired you that I could heal any sickness that you incurred while on the job. Besides, it was my fault to begin with. I shouldn’t have left those treasures in the house. Your brother kept warning me that the treasure would tempt criminals, and it did. I removed those items from the house so you all can rest assured now.”
The healers, seeing that they wouldn’t earn any coins from Anton, left. At the very least, they were not looking at him and employees with disdain anymore. They were not apologetic, and Anton did not expect them to be. It was just their business.
They all went to Ronia’s room, and Anton healed her arm and the rest of the injuries that she received, like Torban, and then they all returned home. Once they were back, they all sat at the dining table to talk.
“Again, I apologize. It was my mistake for leaving the items from the dungeons in the house, even though I was warned again and again that it was a foolish thing to do so with inadequate security. Rest assured that I have taken all the items and would not store any valuable treasure here anymore.”
“Thank you for your apology, Anton. Since you’ve healed us, all is good,” Ronia said.
“I was informed by the guards that they were still hunting down the thieves who stole your items,” Torbin said, and Anton just nodded.
Anton then asked Ronia to create a budget for six months for the entire house, since he would go back to giving her coins instead of asking them to sell items. He also informed Torbin and Ronia not to hire any more people since there would be nothing more to guard in the house. Just to make sure that everyone was in peak condition, he added all of them to his party system, then activated his Prayer Aura, then his Vigor Aura. He then removed them from his party system and asked Ronia to prepare a feast for that night so they could all celebrate the healing of Torban and Ronia.
Anton informed everyone that he would not be dungeon diving for the next couple of days and would be resting. He then asked them if there were any letters that had come in, and they all said that none had come. He then went to his room to rest while waiting for the maids to prepare their celebratory dinner for that night.
While he was in his room, Anton thought of the fact that he still behaved so immaturely, even though his mental age was around 24 years old. His body was eighteen, but he was 23 when he died back on Earth. He didn’t think that he had regressed mentally. He admitted that his behavior was his true age. He didn’t have any late childhood experiences that a typical teenager would experience due to the death of his parents and his poverty. He took a chance to experience a second teenage year while he was on board the Amelia, and he truly enjoyed it, but he knew that he should start behaving maturely. He needed to grow up since he knew this world would not let him remain a child.
If this were a peaceful world, Anton would have taken his time, but he still felt like there was an unspoken ticking time bomb called the Undead Coalition, and he felt like he was the only one who was aware of it. He knew that it was the height of hubris to think that the world could depend on him to fight against the undead, but he couldn’t help feeling that way. He didn’t like the feeling. Anton would rather be treated as a normal but rich and powerful man so he could enjoy his life in this second world, but alas, everything he thought he could do so, this world would slap him back into reality.
Anton was also beginning to get worried that he hadn’t heard from his father for about a week. He wasn’t worried about his sister because she was inside a powerful magic school, but he didn’t know what kind of situation his father could be in. He knew his father was an experienced man. Anders was a mercenary back in his younger days, and now that his father was powerful due to the fact that Anders was a level 3 wizard equipped with two of the most powerful items from the Diablo II world which was the runeword armor Enigma and the runeword weapon Heart of the Oak, there were very little that could harm his father.
Anders was also carrying a huge amount of wealth. That meant that his father could navigate around tricky situations that could be resolved by coins.
Anton tried to relax by watching anime over the internet. He decided to watch some relaxing slice of life anime and watched one of the recommended ones by netizens, which was Mushishi. He got hooked after watching the first episode and managed to watch three more episodes before Ronia called him for their dinner feast that night.
The fact that he told Ronia to purchase as much alcohol as he could so they could mourn the demise of Lisa and the two guards, as well as celebrate the healing of Ronia herself and Torban. Ronia informed him that Lisa didn’t have any family, but the two guards did, so Anton gave Ronia a total of 9000 gold coins. He told his butler to give 3000 gold coins to each of the guards' families, and the remaining would be the budget for the household for the next few months.
When Ronia and Torbin said that the gold coins were too big, he carelessly told them that he earned a lot in delving the 40th floor of the Corridors of Amuneta dungeon alone. That shut the two up, and then they proceeded to decimate the food and alcohol that Ronia and Mary prepared. The five of them, who were Anton, the two maids, and the three guards, ate and drank a lot, and that was the first time Anton got drunk in this world. He even admitted to everyone in his drunken haze that he was still a virgin and that he wanted to go to the red light district to resolve that ailment.
The three guards guffawed when they heard that, and even the two maids looked at Anton, unbelieving when they heard that fact from his mouth. The dwarves then told Anton that they would bring him to the most prestigious brothel in Ormunda. Normally, Ronia and Mary would probably look at them in disapproval, but since they were all incredibly drunk, they just kept on celebrating until the wee hours of the morning.
