"Bang!"
Myne, without changing expression, slammed the door shut right after reading the name, locking it from inside before staring at rows after rows of question marks, which literally frightened him to death.
Damn it, not this again. Why do I always encounter these powerful weirdos? Don\'t they have anything better to do than mess with a small character like me? Please give me a break now, Myne thought with tears in his eyes.
"Myne? What\'s happened?" Velvet nervously asked, seeing Myne suddenly close the door and stand dazedly while holding the door handle.
"Sigh, nothing dear. I think we\'re in deep trouble..."
"Bang, bang, bang... Boy, open the door! What\'s wrong with you? Why did you suddenly close the door again?" The old man on the other side of the door hammered it again, impatiently asking.
"Sir, you should go back to whatever place you came from. There\'s nothing we want to talk to you about. Just leave us alone," Myne shouted nervously, backing away with Velvet. If the old man tried to force his way in, he wouldn\'t hesitate and would immediately run away with Velvet, not caring if the undead caught them again or not.
"I see. It seems like when you saw me, you noticed something you shouldn\'t. Anyway, it\'s your loss if you don\'t want to meet me, but let me ask you, do you really think this old wooden door can stop me if I wanted to enter forcefully? Think a bit.
If I had any ulterior motive, why would I take such a big risk of revealing my location to those damn things and knock on your door, asking for permission to enter? Can\'t I just force through your door?"
"Think a bit, boy. Don\'t be a pussy. Although I understand your concern, overthinking is not a solution or hiding from others, especially in this kind of situation where even a little help can save your life at a critical moment. I\'ll count to ten. If you don\'t open the door, then I\'ll go back, and you might not see me again. After all, once this rain stops, you might not be able to live for too long."
Saying this, the old man leaned against the door and slowly started counting, "1, 2, 3..." while waiting for Myne\'s decision.
Damn it, what should I do? What that old man said makes sense with his... um, overpowering skills. Although most of them seem sealed, just his brute strength alone is enough to enter this better-than-nothing house. Should I give him a chance or let him go? But in this critical situation where I know nothing about what\'s going on here, his information can be very beneficial...
While Myne pondered nonstop, rubbing his forehead in headache, Velvet came beside and held his hand, silently encouraging him.

"F*ck! I hope we won\'t regret it later," Myne cursed at his bad luck, stealing a quick kiss from Velvet to enhance his luck, which had clearly abandoned him after entering this wretched town. He opened the door, causing the old man, who was trying to look cool leaning against it, to fall on his butt.
"Bastard, couldn\'t you speak before opening the door? Ahh, my old butt," The old man complained, rubbing his butt with a painful expression that a child could easily discern as fake.
"Who told you to lean against the door in the first place? Also, your acting skills are rubbish; you better start working on them," Myne distanced himself from the old man, staying vigilant and hiding Velvet behind his back.
"Well, you seem to have a point. It is indeed my fault. Anyway, you made the right decision. The last guy who refused to listen to me probably left this world long ago. I still can\'t believe even in such an old age, someone can be so perverted.
People like him should die rather than waste this world\'s resources," The old man, speaking nonsense, stood up from the ground, patting his butt and closing the door after taking a serious look outside.
"Well, you guys are lucky that today is raining; otherwise, it is about time for those things to get out of their resting place. The last time they came out, they ate my new lover, leaving me alone in this wretched town to wander till my end... Wow, where did you brats get such a clean and new-looking bed?
It\'s been years since I slept on such a clean bed," The old man, as if behaving like a pervert seeing his crush\'s underwear, started caressing the bed, rubbing his cheek on it and making faces as if having an orgasm.
"Is he a pervert? I am having a bad feeling about him," Velvet said, covering her body with her arm and shivering.
"Don\'t worry. If he dares to lay his gaze on you, I will make sure he regrets it," Myne assured Velvet while again hiding her behind him.
"Oye, Old Man, can\'t you please stop... whatever you are doing? You are making me regret my decision," Myne said angrily with a frown.
"Sorry, sorry. I was just carried away in excitement. You see, it\'s been a long time for me to see something good in this damn place. Sigh, don\'t be confused; you will understand soon what I mean," The old man, jumping and rolling on the bed like a child, spoke emotionally.
"You are speaking as if you\'ve been in this town for quite a long time. How long have you been stuck here?" Myne, seeing a hidden message in the old man\'s speech, asked curiously.
"Hehe, want to know? But let me give you a warning: hold your heart tight because this information can be very shocking for your little heart... I\'ve been in this town for the past 6 years, 6 months, and 6 days."
As The old man said that, there was a moment of silence in the room before exclaimed in shock.
"What! You mean in the past 6 and a half years, without finding any way to get out of this town?"
Even Velvet, who always stayed optimistic, felt despair after hearing The old man\'s answer.
"Haha, of course not. My lover and I once found a way to get out of this town, but then I not only lost my lover but also 30 years of my lifespan. The loss was so significant that I never had the courage to try again."
Giving Myne and Velvet one more shock, the old man nodded his head and continued, "Otherwise, why is an old man at my age, who should be playing with his grandchildren at home, holding a battle axe in his hand with a muscular body? Some years ago, I was also young like you, full of vigour, but after that incident, my youth abandoned me early, and old age trapped me in its clutch.
Sigh, I should have listened to my parents and gotten married early, so now at least my bloodline wouldn\'t end with me."

"Hahaha, I\'m also talking like a grandpa now, right? Let\'s not talk about those gloomy things; let\'s start again with our introduction. My name is Alban, what about you guys?"
"My name is Myne, and this is my wife, Velvet," Myne, while trying to conceal their information as much as he could, spoke seriously. The way he called Velvet his wife was clear so that the perverted old man in front of him wouldn\'t make any wrong ideas in his mind.
Velvet, who was silently observing everything from behind Myne, upon hearing him call her his wife, couldn\'t help but smile merrily.
"Oh, I see, a newlywed couple on a honeymoon, huh? But don\'t you think this is not a good place to visit on your honeymoon?" Alban asked jokingly while lying on the bed.
"Don\'t joke around, old man. Do you think we came here of our own will? We were traveling when that damn black fog surrounded us and forced us to come to this town..."
"By the way, since you guys have a clean bed, clean clothes, and you two don\'t look hungry, this means you should have a storage bag with you, right? Can you give me something to eat? I haven\'t had anything good for a long time," Alban interrupted Myne in the middle and asked.
His eagle-like eyes lingered on Velvet\'s body for a few seconds, but seeing there was no storage pouch on her, he moved his gaze to Myne.
"Are you talking so much nonsense before just because you wanted to ask for food, right?" Myne asked with a poker face. A vein appeared on his forehead. If it weren\'t for the fact that he currently needed this shameless old man\'s help, he might have already kicked him out of the house.
"Haha, don\'t be so selfish, kiddo. Have some pity on the elderly. I haven\'t eaten anything good for years. Do you have any idea how difficult those years were for me? If it were someone with weak willpower in my spot, he might have handed himself to the undead to avoid suffering a long ago."
"Huh? What do you mean you haven\'t eaten anything good? Didn\'t the festival have so many dishes? At that time, there were no undead roaming around in the town. Why didn\'t you eat food then?" Velvet, listening carefully, suddenly asked, making Alban\'s mouth twisted for some reason.
