The Max Level Hero Has Returned! Chapter 3

Episode 3

I felt worried about losing all my mana, divine power, and ability to command it. I had gotten used to using magic, but it was useless without its main source, which was mana. Fortunately, most of my powers arrived safely with my soul. The problem was that it was hard as a rock, and it would take a long time until I could use it. I had clearly heard that it would take some time to loosen these hardened things.

‘Move.’

I uttered basic divine magic to express my strong will.

“Restore.”

However, there was still no change.

‘Move.’

At this point, I thought it would be time for even a small amount to come out, but it was too stubborn. Once it started to flow, it would accelerate and wake up on its own, but the start wasn’t at all easy. They say that the beginning was half the battle. It would be a lie if it weren’t this difficult. If it were stubborn, I wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. Foll𝑜ow current novÊls on nov/3lb((in).(co/m)

The stubborn power was shameless. However, I kept asking for it to awaken.

‘Move.’

Once again, when I spoke with a strong will, I felt as if my hardened divine power flinched very weakly. It was very weak, but I wouldn’t miss out on the opportunity. I held back my laughter and tried it once again. I asked the stubborn divine power politely.

‘Get a move on before I really explode.’

Whoooosh!!!

Flash!!

I heard something crack in my body. At the same time, my eyes opened wide. I couldn’t miss this opportunity.

“Restore!”

After shouting fiercely, the divine power, which had currently been moving weakly, finally began to move more powerfully. The warm white energy slowly escaped from the hardened divine mass and began to wrap around my body. I was delighted as I finally succeeded in moving the divine power.

“Nice!”

If others saw me, they would think that I was lying in bed talking nonsense like a crazy person. But it was whatever. There was no one watching anyway. The Restore magic, which wrapped around the entire body as if it were a warm blanket, was a basic form of divine magic that healed inner wounds. The structure itself was simple, so it was magic that most priests who accepted divine power could use. But of course, if you ignore basic magic, you would see little efficiency.

The characteristic of divine magic was unlike other magic in that it could increase the level of lower magic and amplify the effect. That’s why there was a difference between the ‘restore’ of the high-ranking priest and the ‘restore’ of new priests.

“Wow…”

Did they say it was an equivalent exchange? Even though a lot of physical strength was used to boost recovery, this power couldn’t be regarded as fraudulent magic. Increasing recovery by consuming physical strength could be a dangerous act that might be harmful to patients like me. However, I didn’t stop.

Whoo…whoo!

As the white light slowly dissipated, my senses slowly began to return to the side of my leg. And when it completely disappeared, I was satisfied that my toes could finally move. The first was my toes. The second was my ankles, and the third was my knees. I slowly lifted myself up while trying not to overdo it. I desperately felt like I was in danger, like I was going to collapse right away if I wasn’t holding on to anything.

“Restore.”

Of course, I wouldn’t just stop here. After using restore once again, I was starting to feel hungry. However, if I suddenly increased the number of fluids that provided me nutrition, it would only be a matter of time before my body started to break down. The effect of the restoration was remarkably beginning to heal the body and show noticeable changes.

When I raised my body very slowly, I started to feel a strange joy. This was how parents probably felt when they saw their baby crawling around and slowly standing up! Although, considering it, this was my body. As I raised my body by supporting myself with one hand on the wall, my view slowly widened.

“Hmm, the air above is better.”

I was saying useless things as I tried to move slowly and softly. Then, I looked out the window. Although I couldn’t see any signs of people, the sun in the sky was shining brightly as if it were showing off its presence.

“Oh, I really wanted to try this.”

I stood upright with my legs. Then I raised my hands at a 45-degree angle towards the sky and opened my palms. It looked like the letter “Y” of the alphabet.

“Pr…”

Strongly!

“Praise the sun!

Rattle.

Shatter!

At the same time, there was the sound of the door opening from behind me and glass shattering on the ground.

“Ahhhh?!”

“Ah.”

Great timing. As I turned my head slowly and stiffly, I saw a small girl with a frightened look. She looked like she was in her mid-teens. Given that she worked as a maid, she must be the daughter of a poor man. It was weird to say this since I was a mid-teen myself, but I thought she was still a little too young to work as a maid. Perhaps it was because of the unexpected and embarrassing situation, but the strength in my legs gave way, and my body collapsed. I could see the girl running with a scream.

“Prince! Wake up!”

I lowered my head without even thinking about responding. I wished she hadn’t seen me like this…

“Ha, just put me back into a coma…”

* * *

“Hmm….”

An older man with a suspicious look on his face swept a hand through his beard. The older man’s name was Ramdas. He was a man from the royal court. He had the position of examining the king’s personal safety and preventing the king from getting sick.

“You’re quite a strange one; the condition of your body is surprisingly better. Are you experiencing any pain you’re not telling me about?”

“I’m okay, just a little tired.”

When I answered calmly, he nodded with satisfaction. If I were living in my previous life, I wouldn’t have thought of treating an older man so rude. However, this life was different. I didn’t like it, but I understood my current status.

Davey Al Rown.

It was the full name given to me since birth. I am a ‘Rown,’ a member of the royal family of the most insignificant kingdom. As you may have noticed, those who used the surname ‘Rown’ in the Kingdom had one thing in common: We were royals. Among them, I was the first son of the king. It felt weird to say it myself, but I was the first prince of the nation.

“Hmmm… How tenacious.”

I heard a sharp voice while I was lying in bed blankly, and my eyes turned. What I saw at the end of my gaze was a woman with a fancy look and a fierce impression. Behind her were two boys that looked as if they were laughing at me.

The current queen, Liness Varietta. And her sons, the second prince Carlos and third prince Benedict.

“I agree. I didn’t know that my body was this strong either.”

“Right, did you see the ungrateful man who shot the arrow at you?”

“Not really. The arrow came flying out of nowhere. Oh, did you capture him? Because he’s a big sinner.”

“No.” She answered with a lot of meaning, and she spread her fan to cover half of her face. She was trying to hide her frown.

Queen Liness. Her name was Liness Varietta before she became queen, and she was the eldest daughter of the

“We’re all done. I’ve done the basic treatment. You can call the priest regularly for treatment, and you will recover in a few years. From tomorrow morning, you can start giving meals to Prince Davey. I’ll send you a special fluid diet so that it’s easy on his stomach.”

“Alright.”

“Thank you.”

When he answered calmly, Ramdas bowed his head and got up from his seat with a stern face.

“I shall take my leave.”

When the maid followed him, there were only Queen Liness, Prince Carlos, and Prince Benedict left in the room. Silence hung heavy in the room because we didn’t have a good relationship.

“You should’ve just died like that…”

“Are you disappointed that an eyesore came back to life?”

“Hmph!”

The light voice then caused Queen Liness’s eyebrows to wriggle. However, I was still the prince, and she was the queen. Originally, it was a mother-son relationship, but everyone knew that my relationship with Queen Liness wasn’t so comfortable.

Slam!

When Queen Liness stormed out, Carlos and Benedict, who looked like they were laughing, quietly followed.

“It’s a disgrace that the first prince will never be in the kingdom again when he was attacked and put into a coma. Let’s go, Benedict.”

With repeated provocations.

The room suddenly calmed down. It was so calm that I thought it was too much for the room of a person who woke up after sleeping for nearly six years, but I didn’t say it because it was almost too sad. Perhaps it wasn’t the scene I was used to before I fell into a coma. To be cool-headed, this was far better.

“You’re a disgrace to the kingdom.”

As I slowly controlled by divine power with my eyes closed and with a smirk, I could feel the warmth of my body again. Although I was openly using divine magic, it was safe to say that there was no person who could notice the divine power in this imperial palace.

It was the same logic that it is difficult to see through the essence of the opponent if there was too much of a difference in the level of power. Was it because I had put all my attention into recovering my body right after I woke up? Even if it weren’t easy to move right now, it would be possible to walk around within a few days. Mana would gradually accelerate the speed and regain its original form alongside the divine power.

It was clear that my recovery would gradually accelerate.

I spent about two weeks bedridden without being able to go anywhere. Perhaps it was because I had been focusing on recovering, but it felt like time was rapidly flying.
