Chapter 0

"Shit, I can't fucking do this anymore."

A pure white room where nothing exists.

Kang Hanbit, the man sprawled on the floor, cursed.

It was because of the damn hologram screen that appeared before his eyes.

[Regression: 31 times]

[Possession: 17 times]

[Reincarnation: 7 times]

Regression, possession, reincarnation.

These were common elements often seen in novels or webtoons.

At least, they were before he ended up like this.

"This time it was quite long."

A mysterious voice came from beside his head.

Slightly raising his head, he saw a woman in platinum clothes standing there.

"Long? Is that all you have to say?"

"It's true. Looking at the average duration so far, this round..."

"Ah, I don't want to hear that shit!"

Kang Hanbit abruptly sat up and raised his voice.

That expressionless person was a Goddess.

It was an absurd story, but she really was a Goddess.

"Ha."

With a short sigh, he recalled his memories.

A very long time ago, he was kidnapped by this Goddess.

He couldn't even tell how much time had passed since his sense of time had long disappeared.

The number of times he had been abruptly thrown into some world to save it had now reached 55.

"Goddess or whatever, I really can't do it anymore. You go find Erport yourself, whether you do or not!"

The condition for saving the world was simple.

To find an unknown existence called 'Erport'.

However, even after all that time struggling to death in those worlds, he hadn't even seen their face.

"It is impossible for me. If I do that, the world will be destroyed."

"No, I'll be destroyed before that. Don't you know I've become a lump of PTSD?"

"Treatment of your mind and body is being applied as usual. You don't have to worry about that part."

"Oh, for fuck's sake..."

There was no falsehood in the dry reply.

In reality, no matter what kind of pain and hardship he went through, when he returned to this space, everything was completely healed.

Only the memories remained vivid, and Hanbit hated that disparity, hated himself for becoming numb to it all.

"Shall we prepare for the next round then?"

"Fuck you. Didn't I say I won't do it?"

"For now, this body's biological sex is also female. Therefore, that suggestion..."

"Aaagh!"

He ruffled his hair and spat out his frustration.

No matter what insults and accusations he threw, the Goddess always answered sincerely.

It wasn't even fun; the conversation itself was worse than an NPC in a game.

But today was different.

"I'm just kidding."

"...What?"

Kidding?

That one word bewildered Kang Hanbit.

As he wore a dumbfounded expression, the Goddess continued.

"You have fulfilled your assigned role sufficiently. You are certainly qualified to return to your original world."

"W-Wait a minute. It's over? What about the world? Didn't I fail to save it 55 times?"

"The process is more important than the result. You don't need to worry about it."

"But, what..."

Kang Hanbit couldn't even react properly.

After all this, it's suddenly over?

It was an incomprehensible situation.

"Then I'll open the door right away."

Flash!

A shining portal appeared with a wave of the goddess's hand.

Before Kang Hanbit could even voice his questions, his body was pulled towards the light.

"You have been of great help. Everything you have built up will lead to great power."

"Wait..."

The Goddess spoke, her face still expressionless.

Just as Kang Hanbit's vision was almost completely obscured by the light, her last words echoed in his ears.

"I have expectations from you there as well."
