Chapter 4

Roca walks outside, the three girls are fighting the bandits alongside the old man, "what should i do in this situation" he looks around and sees that there are other villagers that are pushed back by the bandits, "well here we go" Roca runs towards the bandits and stabs one of them, "guh! w-wha-" Roca pulls out his sword and slices the bandit's head off while running towards another bandit.

the bandit notices and points his sword at Roca, Roca slides down under the bandit's sword and kicks his legs, as the bandits falls down Roca points his sword towards the bandit's abdomen and thrusts, Roca then slashes down towards the man's hip and pulls out his sword while standing up, "ugh, that's nasty".

a bandit sneaks up on roca and lunges at him with a knife, Roca notices him and parries the knife and slices the bandit's head off, looking back he sees the villagers trembling in fear, "um, it's fine, I'm on your side-" suddenly he was hit by a blunt object on the top of his head, "ugh..shit-" Roca is kicked and is sent flying towards a tree, "agh! haah...haah...!!" seeing the big creature carrying a big wooden pole reminds him of the time when he first died in the cave.

"haah... haha...i would be crying right now...these skills are really useful..." Roca touches the ground, his eyes glows and so does the ground underneath him and the giant man, a pillar of stone suddenly rises under the giant man and penetrates him from his bottom, "haha...****...gh..." Roca stands up and wobbles towards the terrified villagers, "you all okay?..." the villagers looks at him for a while and nods, "good... find somewhere safe, we'll take care of these bandits".

the villagers hesitate to leave after seeing the state that Roca is in, "...no, this is our village, we will protect it" the villagers stands beside Roca while holding pitchforks, sickles and shovels, "ha...haha... you're all brave... I'm kinda ashamed of myself" hearing this the villagers became confused, but they still focused on the bandits that are coming, "but it's fine..." Roca goes on his knees and touches the ground.

the ground around him starts to glow, dozens of stone spikes rises under the bandits that are close and kills them all at the same time, "i can handle them easily, but if you do want to help... then try to put the fire out" Roca slowly stands up with the help of his sword, the villagers looks at each other for a while, they then looks at Roca and nods.

the villagers goes to put the fire out while Roca slowly walks towards the old man, "sir... what should i do?" Roca asks the old man while holding himself up with his sword, "look at your condition, take a rest for now, we got this under control" the old man casts spells while talking with Roca, "haah...fine... I'll sit right here then..." Roca falls down and lays on the ground, "you did good kid, thank you for protecting them".

Roca falls unconscious, "did i...die again?" he looks around just to notice he is inside the black room once again, "...god dammit, now what? hey godling! yeah i know you're a godling now! mind telling me what this trial of yours was?!" Roca calls for the godling but he was not given a reply, "...are you here?" after a while of waiting in the dark room, a light suddenly appears.

"greetings Roca, i am the god of life, welcome into my domain" Roca shields his eyes from the blinding light, after getting his eyes used to the light he looks at the god of life, Roca was mesmerized at the size and beauty of the god, "god of life...are you a female?" Roca knows this is a dumb question to ask a literal god, but he just needs to know the gender of this god with the beauty of a goddess.

"haha...of course i am male, I've brought you here to apologize to you of what my son has done" Roca looks at the god and he seems to be confused, "your son? you mean the godling that made me die three times?" the god seems to be quite embarrassed after hearing what Roca said, "yes, he was the godling that accidentally killed you three times" after saying that the god holds out his hand and summons someone.

"now come on, apologize" he puts the person down infront of him, "...i, uh... I'm sorry, i kinda messed up in my first ever time summoning someone to another world..." Roca looks irritated, "*messed up*?! messed up my ***! you made me experience death three times! do you think human life is something you can just play with?! just because you're a godling it doesn't mean you can just play around with someone's life!!".

"and you! wasn't there a rule that says that only a god can transport a soul from another world into another world?! even if i was a wandering soul, it doesn't mean you can break the rules!! aren't you a god?!" Roca points at the god of life in frustration, "...Roca, or should i say Michael, you were a wandering soul, if my son didn't capture your soul and transport you into this world, you would've been taken by either a demon, or be pulled to hell, and i assure you, experiencing death three times is much better than being captured by a demon".

Roca's anger slowly subsided and he looks down, "...i guess you're kind of correct... but still, why did you resurrect me into bodies that will just die immediately?" the godling looks at Roca with an apologetic face, "the thing is, i didn't know where and how to actually resurrect you, i tried to turn you into a demon because they have strong bodies, but then you suddenly died, then i tried again by putting you inside the body of a beastmen, since they have amazing sense and physical strength, but i didn't expect that a subjugation team to be inside the cave with you".

"after that death, i tried again by turning you into an elf, and this time i tried to give you a skill, but i didn't know what skill you should have and so that's why it took a while for me to give you the construction skill" Roca feels as if somethings not right, "then how about my passive abilities? like a calm mind, a hero's resolution, and courageous nature?".

"i gave you those skills, after your second death i took notice of what my son has done, but because he's my son i was watching in secret and gave you some skills to help you survive, but alas, my son was too late, and he didn't even explain to you of the situation and your skill" Roca looks at the godling and looks back at the god, "but my son did break the rules, and so I've given him his own punishment, and i will give you another skill as an apology".

the god strecthes his hand towards Roca, his palm starts to glow and Roca feels something awakening inside of him, "I've given you the skill called the blessed body, the pain that is given to you will be reduced by half, and you will not be effected by any status effects" the god then lifts up the godling, "it is time for you to go back to your new body, i wish you good luck Roca" before being given the chance to say anything Roca gets blinded by a light.
