Super random, but in case anyone's wondering why the credits for this chapter (and the following one) are in mysteriously greyscale: no idea. They were like that on Reset's site.

Isn't it just so like Humans to fight over the consolidation of power? Humans truly are what will lead to their own end.

Thanks for the TL

Take a shot every time they say "blood."

I'm confused on what's going on, but one thing is clear, greed got the better of those ancestors.

Almost as if he's a different being...

It feels like a lot of backstory that's largely going to not be particularly relevant, all for the sake of creating more backstory. Some might be important, but that's not clear yet.

Does it need to be a shot of blood?

Eh. There are more humans in RL than there have been ever before, vastly more so. This is despite many destructive wars.

What happened to the King Felt's folks in this series' backstory, after the king's death, is a different thing. It's because they had undeserved power they couldn't handle. They basically could only function as a society as long as the king was around, but after the king was gone, it all collapsed to the natural state, which was ruins, unfortunately. It's the natural state because the people weren't societally, culturally, educationally, and generally speaking mentally ready for the power they had been granted externally by king Felt.

It, kind of, reminds me of the early decades of foreign aid to pre-industrialised countries after the WW2. Old industrialised countries sent modern equipment, such as top of the line farm tractors, to these countries to boost their agriculture. However, the developing countries lacked all infrastructure and know-how to maintain all that equipment. And so they drove the tractors until the first critical component was broken. After that the tractors only collected rust and the farmers moved back to horses and oxen. In the industrialised countries a farmer would fix or have the tractor fixed, naturally, but that wasn't an option in the developing country. Since then the forms of foreign aid have changed.

Those geezers could now actually start to develop Hatohara naturally toward glory, step by step, since they have reached the bottom, which is the natural state, but they seem to have given up and become afraid of themselves.

Am I the one that sees all this exposition dumping as boring? I just don’t care about any of this. After months of a long, dull fight, we get tons of bullshit backstory. Turns out MC isn’t just lucky or special, he’s from a line of godlike entities? C’mon man! I was fine with him finding power through the mask. Now it’s all going to be a convoluted mess of powers and vampire bullshit and insane power creep.

I think this is quite important. The main point of this is probably - a) protagonists origins and background - b) Explain why the protagonist survived his encounter with dragon and came back to life as monster. It was probably the blood and blessings of king felt and the divine spirit. Rather than just him being randomly super lucky.

The worldbuilding and backstory of the village is appreciated for me. This also ties into Rentt's background being someone from the village and descended from the ancient king. If this ends up helping explain the early mystery of him being eaten by a dragon and coming back as a sentient undead skeleton, I'm all for it.
