“Yes, you will remain conscious”
“Hmm”
“Moreover, the exchange is ‘The pain and suffering required to live in this world’, so often beneficial to trade away”
It is always necessary to pay a price while using a Granting Tool, generally the ic of the blood or hair of the user him or herself, but cases like this are relatively rare
“In other words, you entirely trade away your sense of pain to equip this ring Sickness, injury, so forth wouldn’t even e”
The exchange is a s like hunger, sleepiness, and pain, so forth
“It is rather convenient…”
The custo with interest for the first time
“I would think, but when you can’t… feel pain or anguish, you can’t notice when your body is failing you A person who gets tired, doesn’t knohen to heal theet weakened and die too soon for it to pay itself off”
“……”

As Fujiwara’s , the curse is equally so” Manufacturers with a grudge or users taeffects, but those effects will be warped
This ring’s excessively deviant ability, despite being called an ‘Anti Sleep Ring’, was enough to classify it as a Cursed Tool
Fujiwara remembered with a chillyhis appraisal, a clown’s face He had a hunch he kneho placed it, before it dawned on him
Thewas “The Mad Clown”, John de Godard (tl: Jon dou Godaru)
A person eager to use his immense talent only to make his recipients unfortunate
The things he created were often a yet never beneficial, fit to only be called ‘pranks’
While the benefits would drive the user stock
There really wasn’t a single person happy to find his work, barring some specific collectors
“If Iit, and as soon as possible”
“I see I’ll follow your warning”
He took the ring froy-eyed dwarf patiently nodded

“Uncle Dwarf!”
The skeleton’s bodies were already sinking under the ground, and the two girls ran up They seeh
“Are you okay?”
“Are you two ht?”
“We have no major issues”
“The cut… Does it hurt?”
Behind the short sword girl, a girl that was clearly a ician with freckles asked, clearly afraid It seeer struck him
“Uuuh… Yeah…”
In the heat of battle, “Grave Digger” had cootten his injury He looked his body over once ht The stretched and bent, and once his exercise was done, he didn’t seem to have any major issues
“There’s probably no huge issue”
“That’s good It’s because I… saw it struck rather deep…”
“Take this It’s good, please drink it”
“shi+t You’re questioning the toughness of a dwarf in merely this circu to heal”
The girls were clearly relieved, and a bit embarrassed
“Are you two the daughters of seekers?”
“Yes Though, I think we stretched ourselves out a bit too far…”
“More training… is needed…”
“That’d probably be good You can try again, but be more careful”
They invited hi he had business to attend to

After seeing the girls off, he returned to wandering the “Public Cemetery”
He wondered when he’d next go to the surface and drink liquor
Finally, after so long, the distant days past were far enough from his mind that he could have a meal in peace
“…”
“Grave Digger” placed his hand on his chest
He was trying toThe skin under his garments was covered in blood, muddy, and cold Like clay, it had no tension
However, his breathing was steady, and no matter how much time passed,
“…Hm”
He looked down, confir the dull colors of his skin
The ring was far ht
Due to trading away the “Suffering and pain required to live in this world”, he barely felt pain, fatigue, or even hungry No , his heart kept beating He stayed conscious
He are of the fact that he had truly died long, long ago
But, his flesh would no longer sleep, and even his soul remained steady, to his surprise Imperceptibly, the undead hunter had become an undead, one that drank in the tavern and walked about in town
“What should I do now…”
“Grave Digger” muttered to himself quietly
He didn’t need to continue to fight here anymore, truly
However, he hesitated to go back to the surface
If they discovered he was undead, he’d either receive a forced purification fro’, or he’d be used as a test subject frouys at the academy
He thought this while walking, before seeing a faht
It was the staircase to the sixth floor, he had seen many times
“…Haaa,”
What would be the point, when he had died in the fifth
When he made enca plans to reach the tenth that he forgot food, liquor, ain
“Sure I’ht he heard a faroup
“I’m in Make room”
“Surely so waits”
“Wait, why aren’t you all hesitating?” another of his party asked incredulously
“…Oh, that, because it’ll be fun”
His heart was now decided, even if these were auditory hallucinations, surely they
The “Grave Digger” walked toward the staircase cheerfully
‘I don’t die anymore, ha,’

“The world offers to deprive from you slumber eternally, thou e it shall take your pain and suffering required to live in this world like a sea’s ripples fading into the night”
“Anti-Sleep Rings” are extremely simple to use and beneficial

Unfortunately, this ring is better to avoid To describe it siic circuit is cursed to the extent where therequired to live in this world” as co but hardshi+ps
If you use this only once, sleep is not necessary, hunger is not any risk, and pain is negligible You could work vigorously, unfeeling However, the result is that you would look like the living dead, walking aier You
