Episode 4: All-Attribute Healer

◇

I finally remembered everything.

I died in Japan eighteen years ago and was reincarnated in this world.

​

After being hit by a large truck driven by a dozing driver on my way home from work, I woke up to find myself reborn.

​

Although I had memories of my previous life immediately after reincarnating, for some reason, I eventually forgot them. However, the moment I heard Milia's name, everything came back to me.

​

But that aside.

The reason I knew her name was because Milia looked exactly like one of the heroines from a game I was deeply engrossed in during my previous life.

​

The name of that game was—The Legends of Sieg.

​

It was a grand open-world RPG that could be played cross-platform from smartphones to PCs.

​

Actually, Milia wasn't the only connection to the game. This entire world itself was exactly like Sieg in every detail: history, cityscape, culture, food, even the natural laws.

​

In short, I had been reincarnated into the world of the game, and I just realized it now.

​

"Wh-Why did you... buy someone like me... with no future...?"

​

Milia asked as I carried her out of the slave shop since she couldn't walk on her own.

​

"Because I can cure you."

​

"That's impossible... I can tell... because it's my own body..."

​

After speaking, Milia coughed.

​

"You won't know until you try, right? Well, you'll find out soon."

​

I took Milia to a space between two buildings, away from prying eyes.

By the way, in the game Sieg, the hero Sieg adventures with multiple heroines to defeat the demon king. However... Milia's character was particularly tragic.

​

In the early part of the story, she contracted "Cursed Magic Disease" after shielding the hero Sieg from a demon attack and, unable to fight, offered to leave the party.

The problem started there.

​

Sieg and his party underestimated Milia's contributions and treated her harshly. They even took back her equipment and kicked her out penniless. Subsequently, Milia was captured by thieves and sold to a slave trader.

​

After their separation, Sieg and his party struggled in battles against monsters, realizing Milia's true worth. They recalled the harsh treatment they had given her and grew as people.

​

It was supposed to be a touching story... but it was actually a terrible plot.

Naturally, it was unpopular with players, and complaints flooded the developers and the scenario writer. Because of this, Sieg failed despite being released as a major title.

​

I enjoyed the game as I didn't care much about the story, but I understood why others couldn't tolerate it. They could have just made a standard plot; why did they have to choose such a storyline?

​

Anyway.

The "Cursed Magic Disease" that afflicted Milia actually had a cure.

​

Divine Heal.

​

It's a healing magic that can only be used by healers who can handle all six attributes.

Regardless of their level or growth, any healer capable of wielding fire, water, earth, wind, holy, and dark magic can activate it.

​

However, if others knew about this, they might think someone without any attributes like me couldn't use Divine Heal.

​

But that's not true.

​

Because—I can already handle all attributes.

So why didn't the church's black crystal show any colors?

​

It's simple.

Red, blue, brown, green, white, purple—all the colors mixed together, turning the crystal black.

​

When multiple colors mix, the types and amounts of light wavelengths reaching the eyes reduce, making it appear black.

​

When the black crystal turns black, it looks like nothing has changed. This misunderstanding led people to believe I had no attributes.

​

Now that I've realized this, I can feel that I can use healing magic of any attribute.

With the conditions met, things can proceed quickly.

​

"Alright, here we go."

​

Divine Heal.

​

A dazzling light of six colors appeared and converged. Then, a pure white light enveloped Milia.

​

After about ten seconds, the white light faded naturally.

​

As I had intended, the black spots that had appeared all over Milia's body were completely gone.

​

"How do you feel now?"
