EP.3 Regression is damned in thirteen
[I don’t care what you do. It doesn’t mean anything to the military authorities. You just have to fill it here. If I die, that’s something I can’t help but.]
What the golem said was very surprising.
do nothing? The military government, which enlists not only criminals but also ordinary citizens to work, does not give any missions?
I knew the military too well to like it. Whenever you show an unexpected attitude, you must read the true intention hidden inside.
Feeling a sense of crisis, I was about to ask the Golem something.
With a roar, the prison gates were slammed open. Something came out of it with furious force. As the being left the yard, an anomaly alarm sounded and searchlights began furiously pursuing the fugitive.
But it doesn’t make any sense. She ran so fast that even the searchlights chasing the fugitive couldn’t catch her. The moment the light was about to hit the target, she had already disappeared.
Even the searchlight lost its aim and while I was flustered, the girl jumped like lightning and landed in front of me. It was a time when both the Golem and I were speechless at the sudden appearance.
And for a moment, the girl lifted her head and barked while wagging her tail.
“Bung! Nice to meet you! Nice to meet you!”
A golden tail wagging from the waist with triangular ears. The big eyes were staring at me, showing infinite goodwill. Luscious hair flutters.
He was a dog, a descendant of sins committed by humans in the distant past.
The dog, Soo-in, was squatting on all fours as if he were a real dog, looking up at me from near my feet.
what the hell I clumsily raised my hand to say hello.
“Uh… hello?”
“hi! hi! hi!”
Then the dog Soo-in jumped up and greeted me. They have no intention of attacking, and even their gestures are friendly. It was more like a well-tamed dog than a human.
He was so innocent and benevolent that I couldn’t even have the wariness I should inevitably feel when meeting a stranger.
So it was a bit late to realize.
It’s very strange to have a goodwill towards me who appeared out of nowhere.
And that I, a mind reader, could not properly read the mind of this being.
“Let’s play! Let’s play! Let’s play!”
“What? Why me?”
“Bung! Let’s play!”
The dog, Soo-in, put his head on the ground, grabbed the hem of my trousers with his mouth, and pulled. When you want to do something and take it off.
Suddenly, I felt a shock as if the ropes on the wagon had grabbed my feet.
The legs that supported the weight of an adult man are lifted helplessly. My body collapsed, and the dog, Soo-in, grabbed me and ran away. The body is dragged helplessly. Tong Tong. My body bounced as if I was being hit by a water swallow at tremendous speed. It feels like a wagon is galloping along with me hanging on it.
Pain followed.
“Quaaaaagh!”
I thought that I could face the worst of the notorious Tantalus, but I never dreamed that I would be sentenced to death out of nowhere. Even to those who are kind to me!
There is no use holding onto something. A greater force only pulls me. Clothes become hot due to friction. Drops of blood dripped from the skin rubbed against the concrete.
Die. If you do this, you really die. I flinched with both arms and shouted urgently.
“Wait a minute!”
“bruise!”
Then an amazing thing happened.
Suin, a dog with the power to drag me away with only his teeth, ‘waited’ at my command.
without the slightest hesitation.
I was dumbfounded.
“uh? Are you listening to me?”
Even if you don’t necessarily have the ability to read minds, most people who have lived in the world will know. That there are more people who dismiss my words as bullshit than those who eat them.
Especially if it’s a statement that wants to hinder someone’s behavior.
But this girl ‘waited’ without a moment’s hesitation when I ordered her to wait. Without worry or resistance.
wait for a sec. what? I read this girl’s thoughts with confusion.
didn’t read
‘wait? wait! Wait wait!’
not exactly. I can read it, I know roughly what it feels like, but I can’t understand it clearly. It’s like reading a book from another country without translating it. It can only be vaguely pinpointed by the atmosphere it emits or the emotions it feels.
I can’t read your thoughts
Nonsense. Are you not a person?
‘Because I told you to wait’ ‘Wait.’ Without doubt or hesitation. Just a pure child… No, it’s a dog-like mindset rather than a human being in that it doesn’t even ask. Like a dog that obeys humans.
However, the appearance was a human with dog ears and a tail, and the power to attract me lightly surpassed that of a human.
for a moment. If you’re not a crazy prisoner who believes you’re a dog, this being is unlikely.
“The King of Beasts?”
Among the beasts walking on the ground, humans who walked on two legs unquestionably dominated the land, and the king of beasts took on a human body. They wore human bodies, spoke like humans, and presented their opinions to humans as representatives of a race of beasts.
However, its essence is the king of a tribe. A being that represents, advocates, and acts for all beasts.
Among them, the dog in front of you is the king of dogs, representing all dogs. It was ‘dog’.
“crazy. If you’re the king of beasts, you’re a divine being. Why are you putting this in jail?”
Even more so, that place is Tantalus. Did the military really go crazy? When I immediately turn around and protest against the golem.
‘…I can feel the scent of blood.’
A thought came from deep within.
Soon after, the hair all over her body stood on end.
Drops of blood from my wounds trembled. The darkness entangles me. I couldn’t even turn my head and watched my blood droplets move from the side of my eye.
The droplets of my blood that had come out of the concrete vibrated violently, and eventually rolled to one side. Normally, bloodstains should remain long, but the drops of blood that fell on Tantalus ignored even such common sense. Drops of blood rolled like marbles as if the concrete floor were ice.
I followed the movement of the drops of blood with trembling eyes. They approached the deep, dark door in the distance and seeped through the gap.
After that, I felt a giddy satisfaction through the door. The feeling of fullness that quenches one’s throat with the prey’s that one would feel when a predator bites into a piece of flesh.
…And horror preceded the fact that it was my blood.
‘… it’s dirty. I’ve never thought of my taste buds as picky, but I can’t possibly eat this blood.’
I’ve never given it to you, but I ate it and it doesn’t taste good. He is also picky about the subject he is confined to.
But I couldn’t help but express my dissatisfaction.
Well, it didn’t take mind reading to figure out what was beyond that door.
The one over there is a vampire. A blood queen who has lived for a thousand years and will live forever unless she dies.
Founder Tirkanjaka.
Conflict with humans was annoying, so it was the oldest darkness that shut itself in the abyss.
“Crazy…”
A felon? Even if you bring in any heinous criminal, you won’t be able to compare to those two. The dog king is a being with divinity, and the vampire is a reverse-heaven monster that laughs at such a god. Ordinary people do not even dare to face each other.
While I was afraid of the scale that was out of my range… I was relieved inside.
Fortunately, those two are either friendly or indifferent to humans. The dog king shows affection to humans, and the vampire will spare me even for blood. I won’t be killed by them unless I go against my heart.
Maybe I can seduce them both to my side…
then.
“Fly.”
A hard, sharp voice was heard. It was such a beautiful voice that anyone passing by would turn their heads at least once, but all I could feel there was cold hostility and intent to kill, forged like a blade.
As soon as I read it, I hurried away from the golem. right after.
“Cheoning.”
There is incontinence in the space.
A land of light and darkness. Light and darkness distort as if the space itself had been cut out. A fault was created in an oblique line in the darkness. Sparks blazed in the vanished air, and lightning struck the dark abyss. The invisible blade cut the golem in half with precision.
The golem lost its light in an instant. The essence of magic engineering contained within it, the precisely designed mechanical devices, circuits, and mana are all.
It split in two with a single knife cut.
Half of the golem slid slowly to the ground. The golem’s body collapsed with a simple crackling sound.
It was a very clean cut, as if looking at a cross section. It’s to the point where I wonder if it will function as it is even if I connect it like this.
However, the golem’s crystal ball never regained its light. With that, the remote control golem stopped working. There was a crackling sound coming from the microphone, then it was picked and turned off.
Instead, it sounded as if it had been forged by a blade.
“Are there still spare golems left? It’s not even a cockroach, it’s disgusting. Hopefully there won’t be more.”
A girl with short black hair and loose pants walked slowly. The girl grabbed the sword that shimmered transparently in the air and glared at the golem as if it were an enemy.
Her eyes, which lingered on the golem for a while, then turned to me.
“Now then… who are you?”
Instinct sounds the alarm. He shouted that he would die if he didn’t do something right now.
I read her using reflexive mind reading. in as much detail as possible.
She wasn’t special at all.
They were extras who grew up in an ordinary orphanage, lived in back alleys, suffered from exposure to crime, disease, and violence and died because they were too common to even talk about.
While learning some swords, he was beheaded by a swordsman, and while learning magic, his whole body was burned by a mercenary wizard. An ordinary person who does not have the ability to lead to success even if he seizes an opportunity that cannot be achieved due to lack of talent even if he does something.
The only difference is that the opportunities are infinite.
…huh? What is this? am i reading it right? I don’t understand.
She has wielded a sword for five deaths and has the skills to compete with a swordsman.
During the other seven deaths, he was directly or indirectly taught magic and gained the magical power to face the demon lord.
It means that you have acquired the qualifications to stand in front, and if you fight them head-on, you will be defeated horribly.
Even that is not the end.
“Answer me.”
The girl retrieved the treasured sword Cheon Cherry. A legendary sword that can only be obtained on the highest mountain. A sword resembling the sky that could never be obtained if it did not know the future cried out. She raised her angel again and turned towards me.
A person who goes beyond thirteen deaths and repeats infinite attempts to prevent the destruction of the world.
Regressor Shay raised her sword and looked at me.
“If you don’t answer… I will kill you.”
to become stronger. to prevent the end of the world. To end the regression and gain eternal rest.
A regressor who reached the abyss while searching for a chance.
She was seriously weighing my life. Should I kill it or let it live? Which one is the right choice to lead ‘this episode’?
If I didn’t fit her standards, she intended to kill me to get rid of the ‘variable’.
“…under.”
Running at a speed that even a searchlight cannot chase.
They exercise dominion over blood hundreds of meters away.
Although it was a monster that could destroy the military magic golems used in warfare at once.
Rather, I was relieved and waved both hands and said hello.
“Nice to meet you guys!”
okay. Those who remain here are incredibly strong. Even if there were 10,000 petty criminals like me, they would probably be slaughtered within seconds. They are capable enough to do so.
But when did I survive because I was strong?
The back alley where I’ve lived for over ten years. Even in that narrow back alley, there were numerous people stronger than me.
But in the end, it was me who survived.
The man with extraordinary strength who broke rocks with his bare hands was decapitated by a swordsman who cut steel. The swordsman was caught in a trap set by a wandering magician and his whole body burned. The wizard who demanded the reward drank the poisoned drink and turned into a handful of blood.
Only I, the one who reads my thoughts, managed to please the prosecutor, circumnavigate the wizard’s trap, and accurately pick out the poisoned cup to save my life.
Same here.
No matter how much the opponent is a monster, if only I could read their thoughts.
If you make friends with those absolutes while avoiding the wrath in the middle of your heart.
no kill me Why would I die?
I’ve lived my whole life as a back alley swindler. There’s no one like me when it comes to courting others and attracting attention.
I spread my arms and shouted out loud.
