To Hell With Being A Saint, I’m A Doctor - Chapter 67
Episode 67 You must roll without mana to live

‘Strangely it doesn’t light up…’
Ray looked down at the piece, rubbing his numb shoulder.
I tried following a book I had seen once in modern times, but it didn’t seem to work.
I had to add friction to get the temperature above the ignition point, but the embers kept going out even if I tried to light them.
No matter what happened, shouldn’t the fire be lit only when the fire is lit?
It is the 30th minute to rub the branches again after planting. It still seemed hopeless.
The first time he tried to light a fire, it was cold enough to make his body tremble, but now he worked hard enough to sweat.
If there was even a competition to light a fire, the first place would have been a given.
He didn’t know about the wooden block, but Ray’s eyes were already lit.
The smell of burning came along with a small amount of smoke as if the tree branches had finally given up.
In no time, the embers began to move along with the ashes in the tomag. Ray wanted to cheer when he saw it, but couldn’t because he thought it would extinguish the fire.
The ashes, from which the embers had been ignited hastily, were placed in the center of the well-formed tinder.
He held it in his hand and blown on it with his mouth to make the embers grow.
“Whoa. Whoa.”
He blows air into the embers with the mindset of a surgeon who performs a really precise operation on the subject of just blowing air out of his mouth.
Carefully holding up the embers that had grown so large as if holding a baby, he placed the bonfire on the paper and pyre.
The embers, which did not respond for a while, gradually moved to the firewood and began to grow.
yet.
With the sound of burning firewood, I was able to completely light the bonfire
.
“done!”
With cheers expressing joy, Ray knelt down and stared at the bonfire.
In the end, I had to give up. Normally, it was just a matter of saying ‘Fire’ to a branch, but now I can’t use magic, so I had to work hard.
He seemed to be in tears at the result of his efforts.
Did you say that a man cries three times? The remaining counts had to be saved for the future, so I didn’t cry in the end.
I’ll make a bonfire. I should be able to get through this evening safely.
“Couldn’t monsters appear?”
As he gazed at the dark forest, he naturally became wary of monsters.
But that worry was short-lived. Climbing these ignorant stone steps was impossible, even for monsters.
Putting unnecessary imagination aside, Ray took out a book from his backpack again.
Now that there’s a light, I’m going to read the books I couldn’t finish reading during the day.
Even if medical knowledge increased, it was never a loss.
After reading the book like that, I laid down and fell asleep, and the first day of the ceremony passed.
* * *
Pheaak-
The spear crossed the water.
Ray was hunting fish in the valley with a spear carved from a tree branch.
It was good for spearing thanks to its elastic body and strong strength, but it was a long way off catching fish swimming in the water.
No matter how delicious the fruit is, that’s only once or twice. Now I want to eat meat.
He smacked his lips even as he sighed.
“Oops. Get one right.”
Since the valley itself was not small, there were large fish.
However, unlike their bloated bodies, they were very fast.
If you use mana, there’s nothing you can’t catch, but without using mana, you have no choice but to eat a lot.
Ray let out a sigh when no matter how hard he tried, no fish caught.
“Whoa… I really didn’t want to use it this way…”
he said as he picked up stones and began to build a dam on one side.
As the stones were stacked densely to become narrower, some amount of water was created.
Ray took off his clothes and placed them on one side of the embankment.
Then a pretty plausible net was created.
Made of the finest silk and handcrafted by artisans, the saint’s robe, which was said not to be touched even by the Pope, was quickly transformed into a net for catching fish.
If someone sees this, they might open their mouths and scream that they are crazy.
He was also reluctant to wear only nets in this amount of clothing, but he couldn’t help it.
After all, they were not fish that could be caught with a spear.
For two hours with the net down, he lay by the creek and read a book.
It’s better to read the book than to watch the fish that will get caught anyway.
It must have been two hours of sitting still and reading a book to pass the time.
When I checked the net (?), there were many small fish hanging there.
Among them, there were also quite large fish, which seemed to be enough for today and tomorrow.
While salivating, he took the fish and hurried to the bonfire.
However, in the sight before his eyes, he lost the fish he caught to the ground.
“The fire… went out…”
The bonfire was burning, and only ashes remained.
Ray hurriedly approached and tried to get at least a small ember from the inside of the campfire, but to no avail.
The bonfire has already died(?) and abandoned it. There was no more salvation.
If there is, it’s just creating a new fire.
“…”
He stared at the sky as he knelt in the ashes.
Did they say that a man only cries three times in his life? It felt like I had to write one of them now.
* * *
“That’s strange.”
Ray murmured as he lit the bonfire skillfully.
The sheep he does are as dexterous as a man made only to kindle a bonfire.
“…I think it’s been a week.”
The day was bright at least seven times, so it must have been a week.
At the minimum, it would have been a week, and at most it is expected that ten days have passed.
However, there was no sign that divine power would be given for this week.
Shouldn’t something be changed at this point? Up to this point, all he had done was make a fire, catch fish, and read books.
Based on Iriel’s words that he hadn’t done anything for a week, he was living like this, but he was also anxious.
However, Ray shook his head and brushed off his thoughts.
‘It’s only been a week. Let’s not be too impatient.’
Wasn’t there a lot of time anyway? It was another fun to be able to read books that I hadn’t read before during that time.
He decided to wait patiently.
* * *
It was the second week.
Even if something went wrong, it seemed to be wrong for a long time.
Have I made a mistake? Is it perhaps revenge for lying at the ceremony?
But if you don’t answer anything for half a day, of course you get angry!
All kinds of thoughts started to come to my mind.
It seems that Iriel, who had been waiting below, must have returned exhausted, and it is time for the tired people and nobles to return to their homes as well.
this week. The time I spent here was short to say it was short and long to say it was long.
Just as he was about to think about returning here, he heard Iriel’s voice.
‘Gwonrye is to show sincerity to God.’
show sincerity At least going back halfway wouldn’t be sincere.
Ray stood up at any moment and forced his legs to return.
“Let’s be patient. Because you have to show sincerity.”
He gritted his teeth and started lighting a bonfire.
Susseuk-
Seeing the embers that were quickly sticking together, lighting the fire had already become a skillful skill.
Also, after lighting the fire, they pick the fruit skillfully, mash it, and dry it in the sun.
Ray was no longer just reading books. No, it was correct to say that I could no longer just read books.
He gave up reading to get through the situation given to him.
Whoosh—
manicured tree branches swayed through the water, spitting out the sound of the wind.
Then, a fish the size of a palm fluttered and was impaled on a tree branch.
It’s not a very big fish, but it’s a size that doesn’t matter for a meal.
Now that I have the know-how to throw a harpoon, I can catch fish.
When that happened, I felt a little bit of joy.
Did you say that humans are animals of adaptation? That was not incorrect.
He has perfectly adapted to his current life these two weeks.
He didn’t do anything to show sincerity to God, but he lived here and waited.
That was the sincerity he thought.
* * *
A month has passed since I continued my life.
“What is sincerity? Give me the dog.”
Now, I was living my life as if it didn’t matter if I didn’t give it to him.
It didn’t look like anyone would come looking for him.
In the first place, it is said to be a sacred place and entry is strictly regulated, but it was not the great people who would come to find it if they did not return.
It feels boring, but I got used to it after a month.
When I wake up in the morning, I pick fruits, catch fish, smoke them over an open fire, collect herbs I read in books, and do research.
Life was monotonous, but there were certain things to do, so it was suitable for spending time every day.
As usual, I lay down on the grass to read a book.
Not long after I opened the book, I felt a sudden heavy pressure all over my body.
It feels like something is pressing on you.
It wasn’t painful either. It wasn’t that comfortable, but the excitement from the unusual stimulation made him throb like a girl in love for the first time.
‘No way, finally!’
Waited over a month. This incredibly sudden sign was not surprising. Because it’s been a long time since I waited.
A feeling of sacredness and reverence ran through his whole being.
“Ohhh!”
An exclamation mixed with silence and exclamation came naturally from his mouth.
Tremendous divine power surged through his body.
Kwahaha-
It’s as enormous as the waterfall pours out. It was an amount that could not be easily controlled.
It was to the point where I could understand where the ignorant divine power emanating from Iriel came from.
That divine power stirred Ray’s mana rod here and there.
The divine power, which could not find a place to settle down, had no choice but to pass him by, like mana in the air, on an empty mana rod.
It was because of Ray’s unique mana rod that there was no pool and only flowing places.
Ray was taken aback by that.
“Eh?”
Divine power floated around his body.
However, the absorption started again and Ray exclaimed again.
“Ohhhh!”
But that was all. Just like before, the dense divine power only came out again riding Ray’s mana rod.
“…”
Ray frowned slightly and looked up at the sky.
It was as if he was asking God, ‘What are you doing?
