The Apothecary Noble Lady Treated Like Trash Was Executed — After Being Pushed Off a Cliff, She Regained Memories of Her Past Life, So She Abandoned the Kingdom and Decided to Enjoy a Carefree Life in Another World" - Episode 2

The area was shrouded in a purplish toxic mist, littered with the corpses of countless small animals and the bones of what appeared to be executed criminals. Clear proof this place was deadly to living things.

And yet, even such a potent toxin has no effect on me. There’s really something wrong with my body.

As my memories returned, my personality also shifted significantly toward my past life. Probably because the cruelty of those around me had all but killed my heart in this life.

In my past life, I was mostly bedridden in a hospital room, only able to play games or watch videos on YoTchube (YoTube).

I remember feeling intense envy whenever I heard children playing outside the hospital or saw people living normal lives on YoTchube.

That’s why, in this life, being able to move my body freely is my greatest joy.

The jagged ground doesn’t hurt at all. Maybe that’s another benefit of the “Super Health” skill.

And the toxic mist, which should be harmful, actually seems to invigorate me, strangely refreshing.

“Being able to move freely is the BEST!!”

Before I knew it, I started running.

Despite the eerie, ominous atmosphere of the toxin-filled ravine, I felt like I was on a picnic.

None of the sluggishness or pain I felt just by existing, none of the breathlessness from minimal exertion all gone.

To an outsider, I must’ve looked ridiculous, but right now, I was free liberated from all pain and constraints.

“This is weird…”

Sensing something off, I stopped to check my body again.

I’d been running for over an hour, yet not a single gasp for air.

In this life, I had a healthy body, but I’d barely left the house. Exercise was out of the question. And yet, I wasn’t tired at all.

Could this also be an effect of Super Health?

Looking back, ever since the skill manifested, I’d been forced to brew potions nonstop with barely any breaks.

Despite that, not only had I never gotten sick, I hadn’t even felt fatigue.

Just from what’s happened so far, surviving a fall from a cliff unscathed, being immune to a toxin that would kill a normal person in seconds, running endlessly without tiring it’s all abnormal.

My body’s clearly been enhanced beyond reason. Effects like this go way beyond just “Super Health.”

But if this enhancement is part of the skill’s function “maintaining a perfectly healthy state under any circumstance, against any attack” then maybe it makes sense.

“Healthy under any circumstance” means no injuries, no illnesses. In other words, near-invincibility.

Maybe that’s the true nature of the “Super Health” skill.

Suddenly, the cold stares of my family and my sister Barbara’s mocking laughter flashed through my mind.

Just getting healthier, huh… I could laugh at that now…

“…Ruins?”

Walking with a self-deprecating smile, the path widened, revealing clearly man-made stone walls, moss-covered stairs, and crumbling pillars.

With every step, fallen debris crunched underfoot, dry and brittle.

People might’ve lived here once. No idea how they survived the poison gas, but maybe they had some kind of technology.

Eventually, a massive gate about five meters tall came into view, fitted with a door. Multiple crossbars were layered at odd angles, as if sealing something inside.

“Hmm, won’t open…”

I tried everything, but nothing worked.

What to do… Oh, maybe I should just punch it.

If I survived a cliff fall unharmed, punching it won’t hurt. Worth a shot. If it doesn’t open, I’ll think of something else.

“HYAHH!!”

I punched the door with all my might.

—BOOOOOOOOOOM!!

A deafening roar echoed through the abyss. The door burst open, its crossbars flying off as metal fragments scattered across the stone floor, sparking.

“Huh?”

The unbelievable sight made me let out a dumbfounded noise. Not a scratch on my fist.

The gate lay in ruins, as if it had always been that way.

I never thought it’d actually break.

I’d touched it earlier. It seemed incredibly sturdy. No way someone like me could’ve… Wait, is this another Super Health effect? No way, right?

Just like surviving the cliff fall, my hand was unharmed after punching the door. No doubt about it. This is abnormal.

But hey, it’s open now, so all’s well.

I stepped inside.

“What’s that…?”

In the darkness loomed a massive silhouette.

A pitch-black beast, five or six times the size of a wolf.

Razor-sharp claws, fangs, a body covered in black fur. And above all, an overwhelming aura of menace.

Every instinct screamed at me to run but my legs wouldn’t stop.

In my past life, I’d often watched animal videos; I loved fluffy creatures. The disease called curiosity apparently can’t be cured, even by Super Health.

Not a single sound. Eerily silent.

Its presence seemed to swallow all noise from the world.

Its body rose and fell slightly. Breathing. Definitely alive.

Strangely, I didn’t feel afraid.

Gently reaching out, I touched its fur—soft, silky, like a brand-new blanket. Amazing. I could pet it forever.

So this is what animals feel like.

In my past life, I couldn’t touch any, stuck in the hospital. This makes me ridiculously happy.

“…What are you doing?”

Lost in the sensation, the deep voice made me jump. Looking up, I met glowing red eyes glaring down at me.

“……”

Too stunned to speak.

“I asked what you’re doing.”

“Y-Y-YOU TALKED?!?!”

In sheer shock, I instantly leaped back.
