After I finish, I run towards the direction of the voices.
Because of the many trees between us, I can only barely see a man wearing armor. The other two are probably near him.
For now, I'm going to keep quiet and wait and see what they do.
From the looks of it, they're investigating the area while looking for something. I guess they're looking for clues about this Chaos Karma Dragon.
That name is familiar to me for some reason...
Crack!
Afraid, I stepped on a branch.
When the man looks my way, he stops laughing and walking.
He noticed! He knows I'm here!
I hurry and hide behind a tree. I hope he didn't see me.
After him, the other two also stop, and their figures enter my field of vision.
Their voices really fit the outward appearance of the other two, one is wearing armour, the other a robe, and the girl really looks out of a fantasy book.
They were expecting to see at least one monster, well, nothing I can do about that this world is "that type of world" after all.
Anyway, apart from that. Did I manage to hide in time?
"Is something wrong, Douz?"
It's the girl talking to the boy. It seems neither she nor the older man have noticed me.
While laughing, he takes out his sword and points it at the tree that was covering me.
"I only Heard a little mouse, nothing significant."
You're probably wondering why I can see what you're going through. This is because of a hole in the bottom of the tree.
Even if there is a distance between us, he slashes his sword, which makes a white flash illusion, and while the attack comes at me, it mows down the grass in its path.
Shit, I have to duck!
Slash!
Phew, that was close. I got down on the ground just enough to dodge the guy's attack.
Fuck! Fuck! It's really different from the wolf fangs! Even if it's late, I will inspect his status.

.... I see that the last attack was [Shockwave]
His name is Douz and his race is 'Human'. It's obvious why he is a human, no?
"See? It was nothing."
That's what the Douz guy says before he turns around and walks away. The girl seems to believe him, since she followed him without hesitation.
Looks like I'm saved for the moment. Sigh, that was a close call.
Wait, there's still the old man. He's been looking in my direction for a while, and he's frowning.
"Hee..."
That smile gives me a chill.
He knows, he knows I'm here.
"That idiot Douz may be unable to detect your presence, since he's only a warrior. But I'm an advanced wizard, and I can feel your presence."
"Light Magic Ray"
The old person takes out his staff and points it at me.
Merciless.
His eyes just look at me disinterestedly as if I just was a prey.
From the back, a bright light shines, making me reflexively close my eyes.
At that moment, I felt an intense hot sensation go inside my body.
No doubt, he is a magician!
Because of his appearance and staff, there is no other guess.
I never thought that there was such a thing as magic.
Well, that's a stupid thought. I have magic, so other living beings can have it too.
[Gaa!]
Because of the pain, I fall on to the ground.
[Resistance Skill [Magic Resistance: Lv1] was acquired]
I make some distance between us and change into a position to escape quickly.
I should have escaped from the beginning, that way there wouldn't have been a fight at all.
It was my own carelessness that this human was able to hurt me.
Just for neglecting to step on a tree branch...
Right now, I'm not a human. I'm a monster. That realization is too bitter.
My body is becoming heavy and numb. If I opened my status, it would probably say that this is paralysis.
He is slowly approaching me.
"A baby dragon, huh. Should I kill you now? Or should I keep you alive to sell you into slavery? I'm sure I'll make enough money off you."
Fuck!
I can't move!
The old man lifts me by the neck and looks at me with a disgusting smile.
Am I really the monster?
This is clearly a monster in human skin!
The old man lifts me by the stands in front of me to protect me from being seen by the other two humans.
"Dude, what are you doing?"
It's the young lady you're calling the old man. The old man's nasty smile disappears, and he changes it to a friendly smile.
"I'm coming, Miria."
The old man answers him.
The old man leaves me on the floor.
"Don't move from there, okay?"
His dark voice gives me the creeps. Is he really human?
"If you don't do it... I'll kill you."
After saying that he turns around and walks in the direction they had followed.
Somehow I'm still alive. It seems that my value as a slave is even greater than my value as food.
Shit, I forgot to use Inspection Status in the old one.

The name of the girl who indirectly saved me seems to be Miria.
She appears to be very young, I would guess around the age of 14, judging by her appearance and her height, she also seems to have a bob cut.
I want to escape, but my body can't move.
Agh... my whole body hurts.
I have MP and magic power, right? Then I should be able to heal myself.
But... How?
Search your memory, you idiot. You should be able to remember something in your mind. You've seen numerous anime in your past life, look for something in your memory that will be able to help you.
A basic spell.
[Heal]
A small white light surrounds my body. I feel that my strength is slowly returning, but the paralysis has not yet faded.
Anyways, this girl's level cap is really high. While Douz's cap is Lv45, hers is Lv70.
I don't think that humans can evolve, but I believe that this is what one could call as a person's 'Talent Barrier'.
Miria and that punk soldier seem to be able to become very strong in the future.
While I was healing myself, I heard a scream in the distance.
It was the Old man and Douz.
Douz's scream is heard once more he seems to be in a pinch. Next, I heard Miria's scream,
I think I should go and see what's going on. Being more careful this time, of course.
