regressor
“brother! Careful!”
The young man let out a small sigh.
Even though I told him not to worry and get a scab on his ear, he still tells me to be careful every time I go to fight a monster.
Of course, I didn’t really hate it.
If that was the case, the corners of my mouth wouldn’t have gone up.
shhh!
Along with the sound of the sharp wind, faintly swaying blades of wind appeared.
A powerful ranged attack that can instantly devastate the surrounding area.
However, the young man did not back down, but instead threw himself at the blades of the wind.
Kaga gaga river!
Every time the blade of the sword and the wind collided, a sharp metal sound resonated along with sparks.
With each step he took, the number of blades and the flying speed began to increase.
Compared to the first time, it has almost doubled now, but the young man was very carefree as if he was getting a breeze.
“Even though the name is a runaway spirit, this isn’t really the power, right?”
Shoot aaa!
Now it seems like a storm is brewing.
However, none of them could even sever the hem of his clothes, let alone hurt the young man’s body.
how much time has passed
The wind began to weaken.
When the spirit used evil, it became stronger again, but it was only a temporary phenomenon.
It didn’t take long for the sharp storm to turn into a gentle breeze.
Whoo!
“Where are you going to run to?”
The young man threw the sword he was holding at the spirit who showed his back.
You need a special weapon to damage the spirits, but if you put magic on them, you can shock them with an ordinary sword.
pop!
The sword, bathed in dim light, accurately pierced the core of the spirit.
The young man did not even look at the spirit that became a ray of wind and scattered, reaching out his hand toward the object that the spirit had dropped.
Puzzle pieces glowing with green light.
The young man, who kept the sculpture in his bosom, turned around while pretending to be calm and managing his expression.
“brother! Aren’t you hurt anywhere?!”
“I don’t see a single scratch. You said I didn’t have to worry.”
“How can you not worry when you fight so dangerously?”
“I think you should be concerned about other people rather than me.”
Han Sang-jin, a young man, smiled bitterly at the people lying behind Yoo Ji-ah.
Men and women with tousled hair, torn clothes, and blood oozing from all over their bodies.
I don’t know how he interpreted Han Sang-jin’s laughter, but the middle-aged man who looked the eldest said with a blush.
“I’m sorry I couldn’t help.”
“No, it was very helpful. I was able to catch the boss monster because you guys caught the guards, I would never have been able to catch the boss monster alone.”
“Hmmmm. Thank you even for the empty words.”
The empty words were correct.
If he had made up his mind to do so, he would have been able to deal with the boss monsters as well as the escorts by himself.
However, Han Sang-jin did not dare to say such a thing and held out his hand toward the middle-aged man.
“Okay. Thank you.”
“With something like this.”
Han Sang-jin, who knows what kind of existence middle-aged people will grow into in the future, smiled kindly.
It wasn’t just middle-aged people that Han Sang-jin was kind to.
“You guys have all been helpful too. Thank you.”
“Really? It was really helpful this time, right?”
“It would be nice if I didn’t get in the way.”
“Ah!”
“Where are you going to open your eyes to your sister? Don’t you close your eyes?”
The big fight is twin siblings.
To think that these innocent-looking siblings would later become the King of Shadows and the Queen of Darkness, who control the continent’s information.
No one would even guess, except the regressor himself.
‘okay. It’s something only I can do.’
A fishy smile crept across Han Sang-jin’s lips.
return.
At first, he thought it was the same thing as the lantern before he died, but after a while, Han Sang-jin realized that this must be the reality.
Unbelievably, he has returned to the past.
‘Is it because of that stone?’
Han Sang-jin, recalling the situation right before his death, shook his head.
future… … No, I didn’t want to think about the past anymore.
What matters is the present.
The first life failed, but the second life will be different.
“Come on, let’s go back to the village and fight.”
“what? Are you really going to town?”
“Didn’t you say you were leaving today?”
“I thought it was just a saying. I said to go back to the village a few days ago, but I didn’t even pretend to hear it, but suddenly I’m going back today. Hmm.”
“no? Shall we go back in a few more days then?”
“no!”
Han Sang-jin let out a sigh of relief when he captured the girl he had been looking at suspiciously with a smirk.
It would have been an annoyance if he had pursued it in earnest, but fortunately, the girl backed away calmly, probably because she was happy that she was going back to the village after a long time.
‘There’s no way I can explain that achievements are hidden in the preliminary stage.’
It is a fact that you can know when you enter the main stage and release the locked interface system, but there were several achievements that could only be obtained here.
[Tutorial Master] to catch all four boss monsters, [Lucky Seven] to find seven hidden pieces, and [Rejection] to collect more than one million gold.
What I’m challenging right now is the [Survival Master] achievement of spending more than a week outdoors without returning to the village.
‘How much trouble I had to plan a route to make it possible to stay outside for a week naturally without arousing suspicion.’
Starting with the secret dungeon, he was able to barely meet the conditions by scratching out all the knowledge he knew, such as special monsters that can only be met when special conditions are met, cleverly hidden treasures, and boss monster hunting.
Befitting the name of the shadow queen, the girl seemed to notice something strange from the middle, but fortunately, the hidden pieces that appeared in succession served as a suitable smoke screen.
‘Let’s suffer a little more.’
All four of them in this seat will grow into great giants in the future, but when this stage starts, they will all fall somewhere else, so if it is not now, there will be no chance to build friendships for the time being.
Day 11 now.
After ten days of forced march and one week of homelessness, the atmosphere has subsided considerably.
Fortunately, I managed to get all the hidden pieces I was aiming for, so I thought I could recover the awkward relationship by walking around in a moderately adventurous mood for the next four days.
“Now, everyone move!”
Han Sang-jin’s lips once again had a fishy smile.
Saint, Guardian, King of Shadows, Queen of Darkness.
He never got tired of watching the heroes who shook the continent move in perfect order following his orders.
Of course, they are still promising rookies, but as long as they decide to raise them, they will be able to gain their former power and fame faster than in the past.
“I can’t stop smiling just imagining what I will do when I return to the village. What are you going to do first when you get back to town?”
“I want to drink a cold beer that makes my teeth ache.”
“Five! You were thinking the same thing as me! Would you like to have a drink together?”
“That’s good. Do you want to drink with Jia?”
“I don’t like alcohol very much, but if it’s just one drink… … .”
“I’ll drink… … Ahhh!”
“Where are the minors? You drink some water.”
Han Sang-jin, who burst into laughter at the siblings, suddenly found something and raised his fist.
It was a sudden hand signal, but the party members, who had honed their fighting sense by fighting day and night for a week, drew their weapons in an instant and were vigilant in all directions.
“… … Is it a monster?”
“No, not that… … .”
After hesitating for a moment, Han Sang-jin fixed his sword and began to walk forward, cautiously wary of his surroundings.
Something in the middle of the plain.
It was a set of equipment and a spear.
It’s not unusual for equipment to fall on the ground.
It was because when a person died in the preliminary stage, the corpse would turn into light and disappear, and the items the person had would fall in its place.
However, this item was slightly different from ordinary items.
“… … Does this look very expensive?”
A long spear made of flickering flames.
A full plate mail that emits a subtle silvery glow.
Full plate mail and a pair of gloves that appear to be a set.
At first glance, these are unusual things.
I tried to evaluate it just in case, but my guess only turned into certainty.
“Armor and gloves are rare set items, and this spear is a unique item.”
“It was a windfall… … Is there something strange to say?”
Han Sang-jin nodded.
It’s not unusual to drop an item, but it’s limited to cheap equipment that’s not worth picking up.
‘Did you go out hunting alone and get hurt? No, it doesn’t make sense for a person wearing this level of equipment to be attacked by monsters from here. Did someone kill with a grudge? Then there’s no way he would have left the equipment behind?’
The more I think about it, the more I feel like I’m falling into a labyrinth.
“I think it would be better to throw it away.”
“To throw away such an expensive item and leave. Are you insane?”
“I throw it away because it is an expensive item. Do you think it’s normal for an item like this to be dropped here? It’s embarrassing just looking at it.”
“Ugh. Still, it’s too close… … .”
“What do you think, brother?”
“Yeah… … .”
Han Sang-jin lived on the continent for decades, experiencing all sorts of incidents and hearing numerous rumors.

Judging from that experience, it was right to raise the girl’s hand here.
When things get entangled with things of unclear origin, things usually end badly.
However, Han Sang-jin could not say no.
‘Why should I give up when there is a treasure in front of me?’
If it had been the past life where the only purpose was to live a thin and long life, I wouldn’t have paid attention to things like this.
But now he was born anew.
I decided to live a life where I destroyed anything that stood in my way, took away without hesitation if there was something I wanted, and got everything in my hands.
But is it really right to choose a weak option that the past self would have chosen?
‘I didn’t have power then, but now I have power. Even if a problem arises, it’s enough to solve it with force, just like the strong people did.’
“Take it.”
“brother?”
“I know what you are thinking. But giving up these items just because of the odds is too inefficient.”
“It depends on where you place your values. In terms of money, it would be more efficient to take it, but in terms of safety, it would be more efficient to throw it away.”
“safety? Do you think anyone has the ability to put us at risk?”
“that… … .”
The girl was speechless.
That’s right.
The two of them a week ago and now are so different that it can be said that they are completely different people.
I’ve never made an exact comparison, but if you guess from the types of monsters you catch, your skills with other people are at least five levels higher.
Four people with skill level 5 or higher.
There is even Han Sang-jin, whom they cannot overcome even if they gather together.
“… … ha.”
When the girl sighed and stepped back, Han Sang-jin put the items into a bag enchanted with space expansion magic with a satisfied smile.
“let’s go.”
Although there was a brief disagreement, the overall atmosphere of the party was mild.
I got one unique item and two rare items for free, so the atmosphere couldn’t be gloomy.
Even the girl who opposed it was smiling faintly.
However, it wasn’t long before the mood of the party changed once again.
“… … What is it?”
Another item appeared in front of the party.
this is not a game
