They say humans were adaptable creatures.

Presented with an external scenario that changed their behavioral pattern or ways of life, humans were creatures that were able to adapt to the new changes presented to them.

Compared to the other races, humans didn't have anything in particular that stood out for them.

Dwarves were smart, Elves had a high affinity with mana, and orcs had strong constitutions.

...humans had none of that.

They didn't have the dwarves' intelligence, the elves' strong affinity with mana, nor did they have physiques as strong as the orcs.

They were merely a bunch of evolved primates in the eyes of the three races.

...yet, after around 70 years, to the surprise of the three races, humanity had almost caught up with them.

Though they weren't particularly outstanding in a single area, after adapting to the new changes around them, they were able to swiftly become a powerhouse that could comfortably defend their territory from the likes of demons and the other races.

It all came down to how they were able to adapt to the changes presented before them.

They didn't need to be the smartest. They didn't need to have a high affinity to mana, nor did they need to have strong constitutions like the orcs.

Though they wouldn't come close to the level of orcs, elves, and dwarves, humans were able to control mana, have strong physiques, and come up with new technology and theories that further increased their knowledge.

...adaptability.

Though it sounded dull, it was probably what made humans so scary...

Sitting in front of a cafè, sipping on some iced lattè whilst listening to my mp3, I looked outside the window.

Two days have passed since I had been assigned the mission by the academy.

Surprise, surprise, Kevin completed it on the same night as he got his mission assigned.

Show off...

Jokes aside, past the first day, most people had already completed their missions.

A couple of students got injured and some even nearly died, but due to some sheer luck, no one died.

Though I could've been like them and done the task on the first day, I decided against doing so.

There was a reason for my action.

For one, completing the task so fast would definitely arouse suspicion from the professors, and two...I just needed some time to sort my state of mind.

It's been about two months since I had reincarnated into my late novel, and despite having seen all sorts of terrible things, I still couldn't quite grasp the concept of death.

I've sort of forced myself to not think about it, even after I killed Elijah back in the after-party, I wasn't affected much due to the effects of [Monarch's indifference].

But that was merely a way for me to cope.

In order to cope, I lied to myself into making myself think that the person who killed Elijah wasn't me, but another version of me that was under the effect of [Monarch's indifference].

I knew this wasn't good for me, but if I didn't do so, my mentality would've long crumbled.
