Chapter 2: Regression.
Chapter 2: Regression.
What is it? A dream?
I looked around for a while.
The walls and expensive-looking items are scattered around the room, with different tastes from the modern building.
Something looks familiar.
Did..? *Cough*!
What the hell? Whats wrong with my voice?
My voice had always been one that belonged to the high tone, but now it was definitely closer to a mid-low tone.
Ah ah! What the heck is happening?
I was taken aback by the current circumstances.
Not only did the surrounding situation change, but as if it wasnt enough, even his voice had changed.
I have an ominous feeling that something is wrong.
My intuition tells me.
No, no.
I cant talk about it. Common sense tells me that such things happen in games and in novels, so how can they happen in reality?
My rational mind thinks so, but my body moves on its own.
I approached the mirror, stuck to the wall at some point.
Rub-! Rub-!
Why is my face like this?!
I was surprised to see my reflection in the mirror.
Dark-brown hair, slightly torn but reasonably large-looking eyes, a hollow bridge of the nose. A proportion that would be enough to make the average model turn away.
Probably a face that a woman would fall in love with just by looking at appearance.
But, this is not the problem. What I look like now is the face of the extra villain from earlier in the game that Ive just come from.
Shiba. This is a dream. Yeah. I think its a dream.
Bang,-!
Someone rushed to open the door. I involuntarily shifted my gaze to where the door opened.
The woman who opened the door hid her face, except for her eyes and nose, like a terrorist. She approaches me and speaks hurriedly.
Master Kane, you must escape. At this rate, you will die.
Eh, what?
I will die? Me? Why?
The words of the woman who suddenly entered broke my mentality even more. Seeing me like this, she spoke in a tearful voice.
Master Kane, the intruder has almost broken through the trap of the hideout.
Its a dream, isnt it Isnt it?
I have to. Im not convinced about the current situation.
Starting from the fact that I was suddenly abducted to a strange place, to the fact that a woman who looks like a terrorist says Im going to die if I dont do this, Im not convinced about everything.
No, I dont want to be convinced.
Because from the moment I am convinced of this, it means that I am not on earth now.
Master Kane, this is not a dream.
W-why?
And so, when I momentarily spaced out.
Someone entered the room.
Phew-, at last I found you.
Master Kane! Ill buy you some time! Please run away quickly!!!!
Kim Soo-yong?
The man with black hair, Black pupils and neat eyes like a Korean is Kim Soo-yong, the main character in the game, as well as a man who died by milked dry.
He doesnt have a good personality, but that doesnt mean hes bad. But the look in his eyes now is full of murderous intent.

For now, lets just run away in a dream or whatever it is!
I heard the womans words, opening the back door, and fled in a hurry.
Boom!
I hear the sound of a fight in the room.
Would she be able to survive at all?
In my opinion, its impossible. The point at which David Von Kane is beaten by Kim Soo-yong is early in the play.
Its almost like a tutorial.
No matter how much I am not in control, the current level of difficulty is so high that it is impossible to turn the situation even with my game knowledge.
Therefore, it should be seen as impossible for her to buy any time.
Eh! Sh*t! How poor is the physical fitness of this body?
I havent been running much and my stamina is already running out.
I stopped running for a while to catch my breath.
Haa! Haa!!
Did you finish your futile resistance?
Tremble-!
I heard a murderous voice from behind me.
Tik-Tok! Tik-Tok!
The sound of him walking towards me is audible. Its getting louder and louder. I have to run away. If I dont do anything, I will die.
But unlike my rational mind, I cant move my body.
My heart is pounding like crazy. I dont know if Im forcing myself to run, or if its because my instincts tell me that Im going to die soon.
I turn my head back like a broken doll.
Kim Soo-yong was right behind me with blood all over his body. He spoke in a cold voice.
I never thought that a student from the same school was working in the shadows.
Saying that, he stabbed the sword in his hand into my abdomen without hesitation.
-Thrust-!
I hope you die as painfully as possible.
Kuh!
#w&^%
I cant hear him because of the pain. My abdomen is completely burning hot. I feel like every blood vessel in my body is bursting.
This is not a dream.
But now I realize Im too late. As I am now, its impossible for me to recover from my current wounds, even if I die from beating him to death.
Sh*t!!!
In my heart, I want to complain about the pain. The problem is that I dont even have the strength to do so. Its frustrating.
Why am I the one who has to suffer when it wasnt me who committed the crime in the first place?
I was just forcibly possessed. Why do I have to die for no reason?
If I had done at least one of the things Kane had committed, I would not have been as frustrated.
I bit my lower lip with both eyes open in frustration.
I dont know if it was my bite or the wound on my abdomen, but blood was running down my lip.
Damn It! If only Id calmed down a bit!
I regret it to the point of madness .
If I had calmed down earlier, I could have survived with the woman who now pulled time for me .
Even If I regret it now, Isnt it too late?
My vision gradually blurs. At the same time, I hear the alarm on my mobile phone.
-Ring!!!
[SOUL @$%?]
I cant see clearly because of the blur in front of my eyes. But my intuition is telling me.
Just shut up and say acceptance without asking.
I did my best. I spoke slowly, with blood streaming from my mouth.
I Accept.
With those last words, my vision went completely dark.
***
Meanwhile, at that time.
Kim Soo-yong fell into deep thought for a while.
What would he say to the guild master and the client
I accepted the request to earn money during the academy holidays. The original request was not to destroy it, just to investigate.
So originally I was only going to investigate the Shadow Guild, but the way these guys were behaving was unusual.
I have no idea what exactly they are up to, but one thing is for sure. As long as the investigation is done, many innocent people must have been harmed.
Huh, by the way, why am I doing this here?
[The goddess who sees destiny says stay strong].
The comfort of the constellations flowed in one ear and out the other.
I closed my eyes for a while. I thought about the reasons this happened.
Normally, this is the time when I should be at university right now, taking classes with great enthusiasm.
However, one year ago, on the day of the university entrance ceremony.
Suddenly, an unusual crack appeared in the air and absorbed me.
Immediately the surrounding background changed to buildings seen in Europe.
At first I thought they were foreigners. So I tried to interact with the people around me in English, which I was not good at.
However, contrary to my expectations, people did not understand English. And interaction was not the only problem.
Their clothes were also too fashionably strange for modern people.
Yes, they were. They were dressed like something you would see in a Manga or an anime.
It was very difficult at the time
[Goddess of Fate nods with a sympathetic look on her face].
At first I thought I had tremendous power, as if I was the protagonist in a manga.
So I was honestly scared, but on the other hand I also had a little excited.
But this world completely shattered such naive thoughts. A world where monsters that eat humans and people who commit murder with impunity have spread.
Therefore, such dreamy imaginings had no place in reality at all.
And the cheat? No such thing even exists.
No, talent has no place here.
But no matter how much of a genius I am, I have only been in this world for one year. Geniuses who were born into this world from the beginning will remain even stronger at the same age as me, even if they dont train much
I couldnt do it
No matter how full of talent I am, in the end I am no different from ordinary people in the end, for the first time.
In fact, if it wasnt for the constellation that now watches over me and the master who trained me in hell for six months, I would have been just like David von Kane, who is now dead.
By the way, I had no idea that Kane was a Shadow Guild leader.
Hes obviously a nobleman who attended the same academy as myself. Ive never met and conversed with him, but rumor has it that hes called quite a ruffian.
They say he is late every day, drinks all the time and puts on all kinds of bluff.
I wonder if I killed him for nothing
Hes the son of a Marquis on the continent of Leiston, of all places. No matter how tyrannical he is, a noble is still a noble.
No. Killing him is right.
Ive destroyed all the evidence that I did it anyway.
And even if the Marquise knew that I had killed him, it is almost impossible to blatantly kill me, who was chosen to be the only constellation on the entire continent.
At that moment, there must be a great uproar among the religious who follow the goddess who sees destiny.
Lets think of it that way.
Huh??? What the hell! Whats wrong with my body all of a sudden?
My body doesnt follow me. Suddenly it starts moving backwards on its own.
Stunned by the sudden situation, Kim Soo-yong asked the goddess.
What does this mean?
[The goddess who sees destiny panics, saying its something she doesnt even know!]
She turned her head back.
At some point, I see Kane, who is dead. My body starts to hold the sword on its own.
As I thrust it into Kanes abdomen, which is open, I pull it out again, slowly.
?!
Then the pooled blood begins to collect in his abdomen.
The open abdomen returns to its original state.
***
In my darkened vision, I slowly open my eyes.
Eh! Eh! Am I dreaming?
I looked around to be sure.
But. After all, contrary to my expectations, the surroundings were covered with the luxury items I had seen earlier.
Yes, thats right. This is not a dream. It is reality.
With these thoughts in mind, I looked at the status window in front of me.
***
David von Kane.
Age: 20 years old.
Characteristics: game-setting ability, death regression.
Talents:None.
Points:0.
***
Death regression is this why I survived?
That would make sense. Physically, I was killed by Kim Soo-yong earlier, but there is no reason for me to be saved.
Game-setting ability.
What is this?
I didnt have that ability when I played the game. And even when I saw the strategy video and the community, I never heard of it.
Lets check for the time being.
I tapped my finger on where it said Game Setting Ability.
Game setting ability: The ability to use various functions such as volume control, effect quality adjustment, color settings, map display, inventory, cash shop, etc.
Hmm just like the name says, it seems to be a game setting ability.
Lets start with the Cash Shop ability for now.
In fact, if I can use that one as I like right now, I can get out of here even easier than my original game plan.
When I pressed Cash Shop to do so, a shop window appeared. There were all the cash items from the game Id played in it.
But.!! Tsk! I couldnt do anything even if there were.
You need points to buy the items in there.
Ive never heard of points in the game world. The currency here is gold and silver coins, like in a normal fantasy game or story, and there were no points of any kind
-.
After all, to get points, you have to cash them in.
The problem, though, was that I was in character and now I had to figure out how to pay the bills.
The moment I was about to be disappointed as such.
-Ding!
