I Fear Death, So I Only Want to Level Up My Health Bar

For the price of a loaf of bread, he was tricked into awakening and scored Swain's signature passive ability.

For the price of a meal, he was tricked into enlisting, sent to guard the frontier for strangers, and made to farm.

But no one knew that He An, who seemed like an honest, cowardly schemer, was grinding like crazy.

While others worked, he farmed like mad to grind harder, while scarfing down soul fragments to increase his health bar.

While others slept, he pretended to doze as he scarfed down soul fragments to increase his health bar.

While others scoured the mountains for military supplies, he stole the best loot, provoked the monsters all over the mountains, and increased his health bar.

Then, at last, the day war broke out, and he was surrounded on all sides by the enemy.

Those puny soldiers thought they could cut him down. Instead, they died: their blades curled up, and they were worked to death.
