1 – Becoming a Madman
From nob le mt l dot com
My head is pounding, probably from drinking too much the night before. .
I opened my eyes slowly, frowning.
When I opened my eyes, what I saw was not a shabby studio room.
All kinds of fancy decorations and wallpaper looked like a luxury hotel room.
“Do, the boy has awakened!”
Because of the unfamiliar environment, I didn’t notice that there was someone next to me.
Beside me, a woman in a maid outfit was announcing across the room that I had woken up.
“Who are you?”
Unbeknownst to me, my mouth opened.
Then, she jumps up from her seat and introduces herself, following her voice nervously.
“I-I’m Luna, the maid who took over as the new young master when the rail master passed away!”
I looked at the woman introducing herself as Luna.
To be honest, I don’t understand the current situation well.
‘Rail master…’
I started searching for memories for a while at a familiar name somewhere.
It was a bit jarring for Luna, who seemed nervous and still stiffened her body, but I just had to turn her head to her side to make it invisible.
“No way.”
And after a while, I succeeded in coming up with the name Rail.
I turned my head and looked at the maid again.
I wince, and when our eyes meet, my stiff body becomes even stiffer.
“What is my name?”
It was a rather absurd question, but since she was a new maid, she didn’t question my question.
“You are the proud Rail Master of the Violland Marquis family!”
“·······.”
Rail Bioland.
How could you not know its name?
Rail Bioland, a third-class villain in the novel .
The eldest son of the Violand family, he is famous in the novel for being an idiot who treats commoners like bugs.
“Get the mirror right now!”
“Yes!”
The room was decorated with many luxuries, except for a mirror.
The reason for this was revealed only after Luna quickly brought a mirror outside.
“This is my face…”
In the mirror, there was a pig wearing all kinds of luxurious jewelry and clothes.
The hideous appearance reminded me of the explanation in the novel by Rail Bioland that I had forgotten.
-‘Rail Violand had magical talents, but he’s an idiot who learned psychokinesis magic, which he couldn’t use any other magic once he learned it, just because it was cumbersome to move.’
A nerdy guy who learned psychokinesis magic just because it was annoying to move his body.
Now that crazy guy is me.
“Rail!”
At that time, without knocking, the door was opened strongly and a man entered.
The luxurious clothes on his body and his neatly trimmed beard made him look like an aristocrat.
“I’m glad you woke up!”
Then he warmly embraced me in his arms.
I couldn’t hold him completely because of his size, but I could see how worried he was about me.
To be able to call me by my name normally means that this man is now my father, Euler Bioland.
“I’m glad I opened my eyes again.”
‘It’s different from what’s described in the novel.’
He was described as an upright and strict person, but to the point of shedding tears when he saw his son waking up, he seemed like a person who loves his family extremely.
“It is difficult to breathe.”
“Ah, ah. I’m sorry.”
I couldn’t breathe because I was holding her so tightly.
Slowly releasing his arm, Euler wiped away his tears with his handkerchief.
“Do you have any questions?”
“How long have I been lying down?”
“It must have been two weeks ago when I got drunk and hit my head on a corner.”
The reason Rail passed out for two weeks was not exactly recorded in the novel.
‘But the reason was that he bumped his head on a corner while drunk…’
I let out a deep sigh without even realizing it, probably because I was so pitiful.
“Change your clothes appropriately and come to the restaurant. Today, after a long time, I can have a meal with my family!”
I nodded lightly, and Euler left the room with a smile.
“I will bring the boy’s clothes right now.”
Even though she’s a newcomer, she’s quick-witted. Luna went right away to get her clothes for me to change into.
Left alone in the room, I checked myself again in the mirror.
The fat on her belly protrudes from how much she drank and her hand holding a mirror is swollen.
Even though I passed out for two weeks and couldn’t eat, I was so fat that I had no idea how much more of a pig I had been before.
“I brought the clothes that the boy usually wears!”
Luna quickly brought my clothes and showed them with both her hands.
“·······.”
But when I saw the clothes Luna showed me, I couldn’t help but shut her mouth.
“Ho, did I bring the wrong clothes?”
“No.”
The clothes that were so flashy that they stood out were clothes that Rail would like no matter who saw them.
However, if you ask me to wear such fancy clothes as I usually only wear dull black clothes, I have no choice but to shake my head.
“Bring the clothes of the most comfortable color among the clothes.”
“Yes! All right!”
And I sighed as I saw Luna go back to get her clothes with sweat on her forehead.
I think I need to go on a diet for a while.
*
All the clothes Luna brought were fancy, but she changed into the most plain black design.
But she was still out of shape because she was out of shape.
“Have a seat. Rail.”
When I arrived at the restaurant, I saw a large table the size of the studio I used to live in.
And at my father’s answer, the eyes of the family members who were having a meal turned to me.
Everyone seemed surprised that I was alive, seeing that my eyes were wide open.
‘But I woke up after two weeks and no one came to my room?’
Even when Luna announced that I had woken up with such a loud noise, only her father, Euler, came to her room.
Once again, I felt that the eyes on me were not good even among my family.
There were six chairs at the table, and I sat in the empty seat between my father and Lila Violand, my third daughter.
As soon as we sat down, the hands of the family members who were cutting the meat with knives stopped and then moved again.
‘Why is everyone like that?’
I looked at my second son, Kyle, who was sitting across from me.
Kyle met my eyes and opened and closed his mouth as if he wanted to say something to me.
However, he soon withdraws his gaze and begins to focus on eating again.
The food has not yet been placed in my seat.
Anyway, I didn’t expect to wake up, and now I seem to be making food in a hurry.
I just waited in silence for the food to come out.
And not long after, the scent of freshly prepared steak pierced my nose from afar.
I noticed Luna approaching this way with a bowl that was twice as large as the others.
‘But it looks a bit dangerous?’
She must have found it difficult to carry a bowl larger than her face, but Luna shook as if she would drop her bowl at any moment.
And my foreboding hunch came true.
Clang!
“Heo Eok! Omg! Sin, sorry! Rail boy!”
Luna dropped her bowl right in front of me, causing fragments of broken bowls to bounce around the floor.
She trembled like a child caught by her parents for doing something bad.
Then he urgently begins to pick up the glass fragments spread on the floor.
‘I’m sure I’ll cut my hand like that.’
How bad the rumors are, why is the new maid trembling like this?
Perhaps I am more of an idiot than depicted in the novel.
I sighed inwardly and opened her mouth to Luna as she dangerously picked up a piece of glass.
“It’s done.”
“Yes…?”
And as if she didn’t understand my answer, Luna looked at me with her body trembling.
But I didn’t care what Luna looked like and reached out her hand towards her.
Exactly towards the broken plate on the floor.
‘Is this how you do it?’
Obviously, in the novel, it was written that this idiot’s personality was bad, but his magic talent was quite excellent.
Of course, the downside was that the quality of magic changed from the moment I chose the psychokinesis magic, so I couldn’t use magic with other attributes.
As I gathered strength in my fingertips, I felt something cold flowing from my heart.
It was a different feeling from blood flowing. It felt thicker and heavier. But there was no obstruction to the flow.
And I felt a sensation I had never felt before at my fingertips.
‘Is this magic…’
A blue mana rose above his hand like a haze.
“Whoops!”
Upon discovering my magical power, Luna drew in her breath in surprise.
And then she covers her face with her arms to protect herself.
Her third daughter, Lila, who had been watching the situation, turned her head to the other side of her.
The faces of the other family members weren’t too good either.
Her family also seemed to crumple her face because of Luna dropping her bowl.
I let out a deep sigh and used my telekinesis magic on the fallen plate.
As expected, this idiot still had a talent for magic, and it was his first time using magic, but broken dishes and food began to gather in the air.
But she still closed her eyes and trembled Luna didn’t see it.
I shouted at Luna like that.
“Hey, my arm hurts. Get rid of it quickly.”
“Yes…? Ah yes! I’ll clean it up quickly!”
When Luna opened her eyes, she hurriedly brought a large container to put her garbage in, and I put her garbage into the container.
Then she came up to me and bent her waist down like her clamshell phone folded.
“I am very sorry for disturbing the dining atmosphere by my mistake.”
“Okay, I’m hungry, so bring me some food.”
I waved roughly and ordered the food to be served quickly.
“Yes! I will bring it quickly!”
Then, her mother, Luna, quickly ran to her kitchen with a small smile.
Growl.
‘I’m hungry.’
Perhaps it’s because she hasn’t eaten anything for two weeks, her stomach starts to roar for something to eat.
I slightly turned her head to look at Layla’s plate sitting next to her.
‘Does that fill my stomach?’
Perhaps it was because of her short mouth, or because of Luna, who had clouded her mood a moment ago, Lila barely touched the food.
I called her sister, who stared blankly at her Luna, who ran to her kitchen.
“Hey.”
“Yes? Yes Why are you like that? Brother?”
Then Lila, brought back to her senses by my voice, looks at me with her tense face.
“If you are not going to eat meat, can I eat it?”
“Ah…”
“Because I haven’t eaten for two weeks. If mine comes out, I’ll give it to you.”
With Layla’s permission, which gave her a brief nod, I brought her brother’s bowl right away.
I then sliced the steak with the knife and fork in front of me.
It was the first time I had ever used a knife like this except for cutting pork cutlet at Gimbap Heaven.
When I put the moderately well-grilled steak in my mouth, the rich flavor and aroma of the sauce filled my mouth.
“It’s delicious.”
Once again, my family looked at me with surprised faces at my short review.
She seemed to think that eating off her sister’s steak was not something an eldest son would do.
But no one blamed me, probably because I was already branded as an idiot.
‘You won’t get scolded if you steal your sister’s food?’
I thought it wouldn’t be too bad to live as an idiot.
