Chapter 354 After I died in sorrow, I opened my eyes and found myself as a child again. I thought it was a dream, but it wasn’t. Cheers suddenly erupted.
The second life had different goals. I had to not only take care of myself, but also my family and my tribe.
Logan’s hands naturally trembled at the story he could empathize with more desperately than anyone else.
Fortunately, I had experience.
The young man began developing martial arts skills from childhood based on his past life experiences. I thought the reason the city collapsed was because there was no one strong enough to stop the orc shaman.
It wasn’t difficult to walk the same path I once walked, and in the process, I systematically organized the process of the emergence and development of the Force, which had been rough, and even spread it around me.
There were many people who asked to learn from him, who became a strong man who ‘surpassed most wizards’ at a young age.
However, unlike him, ordinary humans and even wizards were unable to awaken the Force. No matter how easy it was to teach, most people were unable to understand even the most basic parts.
In the end, the most efficient and systematic training method could only be applied to oneself.
The young man was frustrated.
In the end, he had no choice but to ignorantly and risk his life to train his students like his father had done to him.
The good news was that because there were so many, on rare occasions, people began to awaken to the Force. Those well-trained warriors have grown to the point where they can compete with Lizardmen and Orc warriors who use innate magic.
In the meantime, he endured alone, breaking his limitations and growing further. Then, when I was confident that I could deal with not only the orc shaman but also the great shaman, I started to move.
Ten years have passed like that.
The young man finally defeated all the sporadic threats from the heterogeneous tribes and became the owner of a large city that united all nearby human tribes.
The hope of the strongest human race in the vicinity.
The city he founded received that name, and the young man was also given the undeserved title of ‘Great Warrior’.
Then, the strong men of the human race, who had dispersed after the Sorcerer Saint, paid attention to the young man.
Powerful figures from other factions, called high priests or magicians, offered training to the young man.
The young man did not refuse.
The territoriality and invasion of different races and the threat of monsters.
Because I no longer wanted to see the sacrifices of my compatriots, which I had seen countless times throughout my life.
That’s how the ‘Union’ was born.
The goal seemed like it would be easier to achieve than I thought.
The alliance gradually grew into a large power by incorporating the humans of the central continent one by one.
As the number of humans united increased, the provocations of monsters and other races decreased.
The leaders of the coalition, including the youth, did not recognize the problem until the situation became very serious. They could not have guessed that such a big problem would arise within the human race while they were expanding their power in the fight against other races and monsters.
When the youth leaders and magicians of the alliance delved into the incident in earnest, the culprit was surprisingly quickly revealed.
“Ha…”
A sigh burst out of Logan’s mouth as he was concentrating on the contents of the booklet.
I never thought this name would appear here again.
It wasn’t just something that wasn’t normal.
They were preparing some terrible magic by sacrificing as many as 10,000 human beings.
Instead of talking to the crazy people, a fight broke out. But the result was very different from the young man’s expectations.
As soon as the battle began, a surprise attack began within the leaders of the coalition.
However, that variable did not seem to have had much of an effect.
The snake that swallowed the truth and claimed to be their leader was an archmage who became increasingly rare in the age of dwindling mana, and no one except the young man could resist its bizarre magic.
At that point, Logan felt an eerie premonition again.
If the young man really met his end like that, who wrote this?
The following article immediately proved that eerie premonition.
“Uhm…”
Logan sighed and looked away from the booklet for a moment.
A certain sense of anxiety that he had only vaguely thought about since his return invaded his mind once again.
Couldn’t this all be an illusion?
If I die, won’t everything start again?
Anxiety stemming from the primal fear that all efforts made now will be meaningless struggles.
The booklet left by an unknown person seemed to have made Logan’s anxiety come to life in writing.
‘It goes without saying that the magic of the Kassel Mage Tower didn’t work.’
It was full of stories that couldn’t be easily overlooked.
Logan took a few deep breaths to calm his mind and then looked at the booklet again.
Sure enough, a text with similar content to what he had in mind followed.
The young man could not easily escape from that sense of futility and loss.
Then I thought about the root cause.
Why do you keep regressing?
What is the cause of this strange situation?
The young man met the wise man of the world and sought guidance.
I wanted to know the truth hidden behind regression.
But his questions were hardly resolved.
His journey to find the truth continued, and in the end, he was able to meet a wise man of the Yongin tribe who was living in seclusion in a remote area deep in the south.
And I heard words from him that deeply touched my heart.
The young man could not understand at all, so he knelt down and asked for guidance.
Looking at him like that, the dragon sage clicked his tongue as if he felt sorry.
First death.
He was the warrior who fought until the end when the city collapsed.
About 100,000 of the city’s residents died while looking at it.
Such are their aspirations.
Second death.
Those who were sacrificed to the descendants of Zibrik Kassel.
The injustice and aspirations of tens of thousands of people.
It was a mind-numbing shock to a young man who suffered from the emptiness of regression.
“Huff!?”
At that point, Logan felt goosebumps rising all over his body.
A wish carried on one’s shoulders.
Something suddenly occurred to me.
Corpses piled up like a mountain.
It wasn’t just a metaphor. A mountain of corpses, mostly made up of refugees from Grandia. It was a pile of corpses that numbered in the millions, not tens of thousands.
And within it, he was the only one fighting for the empire against the emperor.
When I thought about it like that, all the angles fell into place.
‘Zibrik Cassel said that he brought me back using divinity…’
I believed this record more than those words.
No, I wanted to believe it.
‘The power of golden desire. Yes, the ancestors did not understand my force. that’s right.’
Logan continued reading the booklet with trembling hands.
The wise man’s words awakened the exhausted soul of the young man.
What I added didn’t matter.
It was enough for the young man to prove it.
“Haa…”
Logan breathed a sigh of relief.
Isn’t a miracle only a miracle if it is not repeated?
I was greatly reassured by the fact that my regression was not some unexplained twist of fate.
And that seemed to be the same for the author of this book.
However, he came to that realization quite late. According to his memories from his past life, by the time he met the dragon sage, the city would have already collapsed.
The wise man spoke again to the young man who realized and regretted it too late.
As soon as he heard those words, he rushed home like crazy. Focusing only on the fact that there are still things left to protect, risking everything.
Fortunately, he managed to make it on time.
The battle for Desire City, which first brought him back, was taking place a little later and in a slightly different form than then.
However, there were also some very absurd changes.
Those who make people disappear, or rather, those who kidnap them. They were followers of the magic saint Zibrik Cassel.
They argued that the forces of the human race should be gathered together to bring Zibrik Cassel, the guardian of humans, back to this world. Of course, being ignorant, I didn’t know what he was talking about, but seeing that the great mages were also confused, it seemed like they were not normal.
The descendants of Gibrik Kassel, who were thought to be madmen, were stronger than expected.
When I came to my senses, all the leaders of the coalition other than me had become enemies. I did my best to fight, but in the end, I had no choice but to meet the end in bitterness.
And I woke up in childhood again.
resentment? revenge? What preceded that was futility. Why does my life repeat itself? And if life keeps repeating itself like this, what is the meaning of all my efforts now?
Ignorant as I was, I couldn’t figure it out. So he left the tribe and started wandering.
Most of the wise men were angry, saying that they were being ridiculed. The great mage who happened to find it also simply declared that such a thing was impossible with any magic. But I didn’t give up.
– That’s what sent you back to the past. The last warrior who fought until the end.
– Of course, it would be rare for someone to experience it twice. Cluck cluck.
My life has never been empty.
– It’s still okay. The power of wish The fact that that golden light is still with you means that the sorrow of those who have longed for it has not yet disappeared.
Those guys were there when I wasn’t there. Descendants of the black snake Zibrik Kassel. They were protecting my hometown and fighting against a different race.
I felt dizzy and couldn’t even feel mana. So I couldn’t even think of learning magic, which was the most powerful force in the world. To me, the Force was a power that a person without talent could develop.
So, conversely, I thought that ordinary people would be able to learn the Force as easily as me.
But that was an illusion.
When I achieved a feat that I could not achieve in my previous life, I thought I had completed everything.
It was an arrogant thought.
– Let us establish a human empire once again.
– So as not to be swayed by any provocations from other races.
The power of Mana, which is gradually decreasing on the continent, must have had a big impact. Monsters seemed to continue heading south, and other races that were more sensitive to mana than humans also showed similar movements.
Although it is still slow, one day all races will completely migrate to the South. Perhaps even beyond…. Following that judgment, the coalition expanded its base to the north.
Naturally, the north became a world of humans. But in the meantime, an unexpected problem arose. The number of missing people within the Union’s sphere of influence began to increase.
An evil serpent who was unfairly denied ascendancy. Their leader, who used the mythical being as his symbol, called himself ‘the snake that swallowed the truth.’ And he said crazy things.
– Only we know the truth of the world.
– This is truly the only way to save humanity.
– It’s still not enough. We need more humans! Offer it!
At first, I thought some of the leaders of the coalition had betrayed me. But I only knew when I saw the look in their eyes. That it is not their own will.
Descendants of Gibrik Kassel. They manipulated people’s minds and summoned monsters from other dimensions. What was really fortunate was that for some reason their magic didn’t work on me.
– god? Tell me not to laugh. You may not know the Creator, but the gods that came after that are just another life form at a higher level. Well, it must be a bit powerful. But you can’t interfere with time. So is it completely impossible? No, it’s possible.
– What even they need is divinity, or in other words, the faith of intelligent beings. Do you know what that means?
– It is a miracle created by the wishes of an innocent group of intelligent beings with egos. The souls of those who were wronged came together to create hope through you.
– But what are you doing here now?
I was momentarily dazed. And then the Yongin sage explained it to me again.
– They also hoped to resolve their grudge. I trusted you who fought until the end.
– what? Meaningless regression? You’re saying such nonsense because you don’t see the enormous resentment you carry on your shoulders! Eh, this is why the human race…
He said that there were often people like me in ancient times. It is said that in the olden days when all races were close to heaven and infinitely close to gods, it happened occasionally, although not often. He called these people ‘those who change fate’ and said that the ‘golden power of desire’ within my body was proof of that.
He also said that as time passes, people like me will become more rare. This was because the further away we got from the mythical era, the more power needed to return and the scale of the unfair wish increased.
He said that in order for someone like me to emerge, there would have to be a sacrifice on a scale so terrible that it is unimaginable in today’s era.
At that moment, many things passed through my mind. My family and friends who cried and laughed with me. The tribesmen who cheered me on. And the people laughing in the gradually growing village and city.
It was all me. All those hopes and expectations were supporting me. But with only two deaths and regression, I believed it was all an illusion and ran away.
