Summary
The Hero’s party was attacked by a large group of powerful devils. The party will no doubt be annihilated if this were to go on. One member of the party, the strongest mage, Ruck decided to stop the enemies in their tracks.
“Leave it to me here and go!”
“But…”
“Hey, I’ll catch up immediately, alright?”
Ruck mindlessly defeated the enemies, over and over again. Using his special skill, Learning, Ruck learned the devils’ magic. As he studied and utilised the devils’ abilities such as Drain Touch, he continued fighting, without rest nor sleep. The devils got stronger and stronger, but Ruck grew rapidly as well.
Ruck battled for 10 years, until no devils came at him. Ruck returned to the capital, and was surprised to discover that his own name had become the currency, and a gigantic statue of him, albeit fairly beautified, was made.
Due to him relentlessly absorbing the vitality of the devils, he had become young again. An appearance unfitting of his age. Godly abilities.
?I stand out too much?
Ruck concealed his true identity, and decided to pretend being a novice adventurer by disguising himself as a F-rank warrior despite being an S-rank mage. His adventure in this now peaceful (?) world starts now!

This is the same as the previous chapter.
Autumn's Shadow
This is probably supposed to be chapter 176
AmbyrRavyn
So getting the harder jobs will make him stand out . Even if unintentional ?
AmbyrRavyn
That’s how I feel when it’s time to get off work on Sundays. I really don’t like Sundays. Even if they do give us Saturday and Sunday to clean. Not very often. I always leave work on Sunday with my brain barely functioning , too tired to do anything but eat supper and go to bed.
AmbyrRavyn
Busted ?
AmbyrRavyn
? lectured……… at his age ?
AmbyrRavyn
Why does she think her mother would lie to her less than her father…… I think the problem is with the way her father behaves. Maybe if he was like that she wouldn’t get the wrong idea ?
AmbyrRavyn
Looking back at an old comment and realized I made a typo.
Should be if he wasn’t like that.
Towering Barbarian
Adventurers are an imaginative lot at any level and this wouldn't be the first time that one out two and two together and got five as their answer. ?
AmbyrRavyn
? That was unexpected !!!
Kookieman22
Can’t wait till this is in the manga. Kathe is hilarious.
naphack
Wait… so he isn’t crazy?
naphack
What a great way to become friendly with all the neighbors.
Towering Barbarian
You mean there are actually people out there who wouldn't like the smell of burnt demon rat??? ?
naphack
That was my first thought when they mentioned making a magic tool… why not just ask the dragons?
naphack
“W-what are you talking about? I am but a humble F rank warrior.”

Yes because he’ll definitely stop after being threatened with political reprisal despite already breaking into the embassy and busting through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man./sarcasm

How not to get arrogant when you alone faced a horde of demons (an army that was probably continually sending reinforcements) and the demon lord himself? I believe only another domain lord or the evil god himself can be a worthy opponent at this point, anything else is just small fish and his only challenge would be to protect the chicken lord and his caretaker, the huntress, the apprentice and the friend’s daughter of the confusions that every MC attracts.
Mhilas
kkkkkkkkkkkk Kathe the best kkkkkkkkkkkkk just perfect kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
AmbyrRavyn
Please update
AmbyrRavyn
Probably will still have assassin sent after him.
Towering Barbarian
Maybe. But obscurity is still a good protection. Particularly if his buddies know how to keep a closed mouth.
And this gives him a better chance to acclimate to what the current times are like then if he was just saddled with unexpected responsibilities and fame in addition to the "future shock". ?
AmbyrRavyn
Does no one read this story?
Towering Barbarian
I've just started it tonight. ?
AmbyrRavyn
Her father is going to love that ?
Michael Marquez
wait why is it like that they're saying the vampires are much tougher than demons?
Towering Barbarian
Perhaps because they are? We know that the Demon King they fought was merely the tip of the iceberg so it might not be a surprise if the vampires are closer to being the A team. ?
Towering Barbarian
And at this point I'm getting "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" vibes. I'm honestly expecting things to get to the point where she says "Come back here you coward and I'll gum you to death!". ?
Towering Barbarian
Yeah, she definitely has the aura of a romantic lead! ?
Towering Barbarian
I predict Mr. Vampire is in for a very bad day! ?
Towering Barbarian
Shia would have to be pretty dense to not start suspecting something at this point. ?
Towering Barbarian
Looks like Shia isn't dense. ?
Towering Barbarian
So the harem begins to grow! Or am I assuming things that will never come to pass? ?
Towering Barbarian
Logically speaking is her best move and might give her a chance to power level. ?
Towering Barbarian
I'll put my marker down in it being some sort of shapechanger. ?
Towering Barbarian
Hmmm! ?
Towering Barbarian
So it runs in the family? ?
Towering Barbarian
And honestly, at their levels anything less than this wouldn't be worth many experience points! ?
Towering Barbarian
Sometimes the adventure comes to you! ?
Towering Barbarian
I would have nominated Fido! ?
Towering Barbarian
So he cross trained as a thief? ?
Towering Barbarian
"I'm not sure why a baron who isn't royal would need it.", eh? Do you need to be royal in order to want a quick escape from trouble? ?
Towering Barbarian
Looks like the start of a beautiful friendship! ?
Towering Barbarian
Time to see how many experience points these guys are worth! ?
Towering Barbarian
Perhaps a sleep spell would be a useful thing for Ario to learn. ?
Towering Barbarian
One thing to remember as long as we are excluding randomness is that those houses could easily have been targets instead of the cause of their people disappearing. ?
Towering Barbarian
And the dungeon adventure begins! ?
jmac313
…so, apparently Josh got switched out as a character with Ario's sister, Ginny, because he hadn't had screen time in a while. Thanks, Author.
jmac313
So…any chance at translating the last 14 chapters?
Towering Barbarian
Y'know, now that I'm think about it I'm starting to wonder just how much blood do vampires need to sustain themselves in this universe and how often do they need to feed? There seems quite a few of them and they seem quite organized even allowing for the fact that this is their final push in support of their deities. Have they perhaps graduated from a "hunting/gathering" sustenance pattern towards the keeping of "herd animals"? ?
Towering Barbarian
This is chapter 88 out of 589 so far. So I suspect Rurk is correct about this head not being the last enemy. ?
Towering Barbarian
Let us take a moment to remember #18. He was sharper witted than his superiors and put up more of a fight than they did. He went down relatively tough. ?
Towering Barbarian
Can't blame Goran for being mad. It's not nice to hog all the experience points. ?
Towering Barbarian
I will note out loud Luchilia seems a girl's name to me. And I think we're about to find out if Nia is really Shia's kid sister. ?
Towering Barbarian
Eh. At least he went down swinging. That sort of thing has my respect. ?
Towering Barbarian
"You have outlived your usefulness!". ?
Towering Barbarian
That looks like it will be an interesting task. ?
Towering Barbarian
Nice of Kathe to provide Reader Service! ?
Towering Barbarian
Let's hope Kathe doesn't make the classic mistake of tossing a 30 by 30 fireball into a 10 by 10 room! ?
Towering Barbarian
"Can I have your autograph?". ?
Towering Barbarian
Called it! Ruck and Goran must have been pretty dense not to wonder about a supposed boy being named Luchila. That's almost as good as a boy being named Sue. ?
Towering Barbarian
What goes around comes around! ?
