『TenSura: The Primordial Silver』

𝓟𝓻𝓸𝓵𝓸𝓰𝓾𝓮

Just an average life. After graduating from university, he joined a major general contractor and is currently 37 years old and living alone. He doesn't have a girlfriend.

My older brother is supporting our parents, and I'm a carefree bachelor aristocrat. I'm not short, and I'm not bad looking. But I'm not popular. I've tried to get a girlfriend, but I was heartbroken after being rejected after confessing my feelings three times. Well, to be honest, at this age, it's a pain to think about girlfriends.

I know I'm busy with work, but it's not like I'd be in any trouble without him. I'm not making excuses. The reason why I was thinking about this was because.

"Senpai, I apologize for keeping you waiting," a refreshing young man walks towards me with a smile.

And next to him stands a beautiful woman. The two in front of me were my junior colleague, Tamura and Sawatari. The lady named Sawatari is the receptionist who is known as the company's madonna.

Today, these guys asked me for advice because they were getting married. That's why I started thinking about why I'm not popular with women.

I was leaning against a pillar at the intersection where we were supposed to meet on my way home from work, lost in thought. 

"Okay. So, what do you want to discuss?" I asked while nodding to Sawatari.

Sawatari look at me and introduce herself, "nice to meet you, I'm Sawatari Miho. I see you all the time, but this time is my first time we've spoken. I'm a bit nervous."

I'm actually the one who's nervous! To begin with, I am not good talking with girls. In high school, I was rejected few times so I am a bit nervous to talk to any girls. I grumbled to myself and just internally sigh.

Wait, why would they even wants me to give them advice for their marriage situation? I don't even have experience myself.

"Hello. I'm Mikami Satoru. There's no need to be nervous. Sawatari-san is well-known in the company, so I know her even without an introduction. Tamura and I happened to be at the same university, and we hit it off at a company training session. We've been friends ever since."

"W-what do you mean, famous? Are there any weird rumors going around?" she nervously asked me.

I realized I started teasing her without wanting to. I was actually just joking, but Sawatari-san's face turned red and her eyes started crying, it was so cute.

"Senpai, please stop there!" Tamura said to me and looked at his fiancée. "Sorry, Miho, Satoru senpai is quite a teaseful person."

Tamura laughs and mediates. What a great junior. He's refreshingly innocent and hard to hate. Tamura is only 28 years old, a long way from me in age, but for some reason he had a horse. I guess I'll just have to congratulate him.

We then decided to go on a restaurant to go have dinner. I am quite famish. When suddenly.

"KYAAAH~!"

I look where the noise came from and saw a man holding a knife and a bag running at my direction.

Sharp. Wait! Tamura is on the way.

I instinctively move. My body push Tamura away.

Kush!

. . . Huh? Running away now?

The thug looked at me with visible sweats running down on his check. And he then run away.

Wait... He have a knife right? Where is the knife?

"S-Satoru senpai!" Tamura said.

Why does my abdomen felt numb?

I took a glance at my abdomen only to see the knife stabbed at my abdomen. Bloods started to stain my shirt and I slowly felt losing my balance and fell on the ground.

Tch! Am I going to die in here? It's so warm... Cold?

『Confirmed. The Acquisition of Cold Resistance Is Successful... The Acquisition of Heat Resistance Is Successful. Notice. Thermal Fluctuation Resistance Is Acquired.』

Huh? Is it Tamura? Is it mocking me? No time to think about that. I am about to die. Three more year and I will be Great Sage. Why am I even thinking about it. I am quite a gluttonous and a bit sinful person. So am I going to become a demon? Hahahaha.

『Bloodless, Demonic Spiritual Body Is Confirmed.』

"S-Satoru senpai!" Tamura said and he went beside me.

『Confirmed. You Have Acquired The Unique Skill Great Sage, And Unique Skill Gluttony.』

That robotic voice again? I don't have time. I can't let that thing get used by others.

I grab Tamura's shirt and says, "Ta-mura... The computer... Throw it into my bathtub... A-and turn on the water to destroy it... Just in case. And don't look what is inside."

It took a lot of me.

Tamura is crying over my death? Thank you.

My eyes slowly closed and my vision had completely disappeared.
