The Retired Supporting Character Wants to Live Quietly - Chapter 9 – The Priest Who Gives Generously

“I hesitated before, I turned back to face my shred of hope, yet still no one cared.”“Later the thick fog arose, you said you loved me so much, but why is your love even fainter than the fog, so faint that I can’t even see it clearly.”

I woke up in this world with a System and a sword. Without hesitation, I chose to complete the princess’ quest with my weapons: Arrogance. Cunning. Pride. I will lead guild Sol Invictus. Denizens of the 7 hells, respect me. Servants of the 11 heavens, know fear. Guild Invictus, know the suffering of training so you can wrest victory from the jaws of those who dare doubt you.

This is a story about a snake named Tycondrius waking up in a fantasy world of swords and sorcery. There is action, violence, unapologetic murder, and arrogant displays of power. There is an emphasis on combat growth as well as psychological growth on more than a few members of Guild Invictus. There is camaraderie and also the inevitable comedic dialogue amongst manly men. There are even elements of romance and Tycon running away from terrifying, powerful women. (Did you know most female snakes eat their partners after mating?)

“Ivy, sweetheart. Please come back. I love you.” Joshua cried holding her hand. However, there was no response from her.

“Ivy, please say something. Don't be like this.”

Joshua kissed her hand, but Ivy had long made up her mind. Only a miracle could make her come back to him.

“I hate you, Noah,” she shouted.

“I love you, Aria,” he replied, pulling her towards him.

“No, you don't.”

“Yes, I do. Falling in love with you is the best thing that ever happened to me. I will always love you; today and forever.”
