Hi, snbzk.
Thank you for correcting my English.
I meant with the words “indifferent people” “not a wizard or a monster who can’t use magical power”. I believe “powerless” is a good alternate word.

Actually, they are not gathering power, are fighting each other. They don’t think much about powerless normal people. And almost all powerless normal people can’t know that necromancers are fighting each other to dominate the whole world. Skarr happened to know that, and said the lines.

Does “the far corner of the world” can mean a magical world which powerless normal people can’t see or know?

Quote:
Also, "No kidding!" has a completely different, humorous tone compared to the grandiose sentence before it. If that effect wasn't intentional, it should probably be left out.
The author didn’t mean it’s humorous.
Is “No way” or something suitable? How about “stone the crows!”?


Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
