30 Years after Reincarnation, it turns out to be a Romance Fantasy Novel

It was as unsteady as the wobbly steps of a newborn bird just learning to walk.

“Whew! Whew...”

The child, who could only crawl, now looked like he was struggling to walk unsteadily, and it seemed utterly ridiculous that a grown adult would walk like that.

However.

“Hang in there, Iliad! Just a little bit more!” “Keep going, Father!” “Just a few more steps... just a little more...!” “Wow! Amazing!”

Rather than laughing, the people cheered him on with unwavering seriousness, and they were ecstatic at his every step.

Drip, drip…

“Hah, hah…”

Iliad was drenched in sweat, and his body was soaked through.

The constant spasms in his legs revealed just how excruciating and painful the experience was for him.

Though it seemed like he might need help, if they intervened now, all of his efforts would have been for nothing.

So.

“Just a little more, just a little more...!”

Encouragement was all they could offer.

“!!”

With a fierce, almost desperate shout, his steps stretched another ten paces.

Thirty paces in total.

-Waaaaaa!!

Iliad, having taken those monumental thirty steps, raised both his hands triumphantly, and the crowd rushed to him, roaring in joy and congratulating him.

And in the midst of this.

“…If someone didn’t know better, they’d think he won the World Series or something.”

Ihan couldn’t help but sigh.

Of course, he was happy too, no doubt about it.

“I told him to take it easy and rest for a while… but he just doesn’t listen at all.”

It had already been three long hours of this, so it was strange that he wasn’t sighing more.

…

Ihan thought he might finally understand how doctors must feel when their patients refuse to follow instructions.

***

Undoubtedly, Iliad's body had become completely broken to the point that it was impossible to repair it.

Before he became a demonic being, he could have at least walked with a crippled leg, but after undergoing the process of becoming a demon, the damage to his body became so severe that his inability to walk now seemed like a blessing compared to the permanent disabilities that spread across his entire body.

In a way, it was an expected result.

By recklessly using his life force to forcibly heal his body, it was only natural that his physical condition would deteriorate, and on top of that, his lifespan had drastically shortened. To make matters worse, his heart had been destroyed and then restored, meaning that its durability had weakened as well.

Thanks to the miraculous treatment of an aura user, his drained life force was replenished, and the regeneration of his heart was progressing without too much trouble. However, even so, there was no way his body could be considered normal after all the destruction.
