Cadel stepped through the charred door and entered. The house was pitch black and filled with a stench that rivaled the one outside.

It was inevitable that the cold wind would blow in because the door was broken, but Cadel tried to raise the temperature somehow by creating fireballs everywhere. And in front of him, the child who had regained consciousness was looking up at the ceiling with a blank expression.
“You've eaten the energy pill, so you won't collapse again. I know you're not going to be able to fill your stomach right away because there isn’t any usable food, but hang in there.”
“…….”

Cadel stared at the black marks on the tattered sheets. The human-shaped black marks emitted an incredibly nauseating stench he'd never smelled before in his life.
‘This is his parents…….’
The location was accurate. A bed on the second floor, as the child said. There was only one room and one bed on the second floor, so there was no mistake.
Two ‘human marks’ were carved side by side on the bed. The different lengths and widths depicted the difference in physique between a typical male and female.
His chest rose and fell with his heavy breathing. Swallowing dryly, Cadel asked.
“What do you think this is? Lydon.”
Lydon stuck his head out the window in the room. In response to the question, he shrugged.
“Human corpses.”
“Corpses…….”
「Main quest ‘Plague Spreader’ accepted!」
「Clear the quest to proceed with the story. You will be rewarded.」
「On failure, all ‘Baskin villagers’ will die.」
