Regressor, Possessor, Reincarnator

Episode 30

Allen remembered the first time he had read the faded black book.

0「──Reader Woojin Kim, at the age of 27, possesses the extra ‘Julius Reinhardt’ in the novel [Reading the Reincarnated Demon King].」

There were many shocking things about what was written in the book.

For example, yes.

‘What does the novel that he entered mean?’

Is this world really just a story as it is written in a book?

Or is it a prophetic book that tells the story of a future that might really exist?

Where did he really come from, and who sent him here?

Through the black book, I was able to realize things I didn’t know, and I had more questions than that.

But I couldn’t find the answer.

After all, it was all that was written in the book. How can you be sure it’s true or fake?

However, one thing was clear.

‘That he thinks of this world as a mere story and a game.’

His behavior was really easy to understand.

He prefers to solve the ordeal given by something transcendent called [Quest], and considers everyone he meets as a supporting actor in the play.

Even so, there was someone who was particularly interested.

One of the ‘leaders’ to be mentioned in the Black Book.

Heisel Kailus.

In particular, the black book mentions too much about him.

『——Julius made a plan. By building up the force as quickly as possible, and then heading to the academy. Because in the original story, the main character is… 』

『——I needed to meet him before he could act his way. before the story even begins. If you pay attention to your relationship right now… 』

『——It was clear what he was thinking right now. I want to live a quiet life unlike the past when I was subjugated as a demon king… 』

original protagonist.

Devil.

that.

The man by many names was closely related to every reason he moved.

Reincarnated (還生者) must have meant him.

It is said that he was reborn as a human from a demon king, but who else would be more appropriate to say that he was reincarnated to that extent?

The more Allen was able to read from the books over time, the more he learned about him indirectly.

As a result, there was a conflict over what to do with him.

He doesn’t know much about him.

In the end, it was difficult to make hasty judgments because all I remember was fragmentary information.

‘If it wasn’t related to Julius, I’d regret it so much that I didn’t even think about it.’

Under the circumstances, Julius seemed to plan to prevent future disasters with him as a reincarnation.

no exactly.

‘The end of the story… Did you say?’

Like a guy who thought of this world as a mere game, he seemed to want to turn the future to the desired direction.

Not sure what it was for, but… .

‘I’m sure it’s trying to attract reincarnations.’

If that happened, there was a high possibility that Heisel would become a stumbling block against Julius.

‘Then what to do… .’

A book wrapped in chains appeared in the air.

Unlike the two books that can be opened freely, the book is wrapped in thick chains as if it is still lacking in qualifications.

“what if,”

Allen recalled the last moment of his previous life, the memory of something seeping into his body.

“… If I could untie those chains,”

If only I could read that book freely.

If I could use that book in which the actions of the reincarnated were recorded… .

“No, I don’t know yet.”

I’ve been thinking too deeply. She shook her head. There was no need to cling to things that were not yet certain.

It was urgent now to get out of the ruins.

As Vestla left the ruins, she talked to Allen non-stop.

“Do giants live?”

It is said that mythical species such as giants and dragons do not have a fixed lifespan.

To be precise, it is possible to live for more than tens of thousands of years, but it is said that individuals living up to that point are rare.

“life span? Hey, who lives up there? Are you bored to death?”

Most of them die in battle, and it is said that if everyone wants to live for a few thousand years, they end their own lives.

“how? A giant who likes mountains becomes a mountain on his own, and a giant who likes other races turns his body into the earth. Don’t you know that too?”

She was puzzled that Allen was ignorant of common sense, but in this day and age, giants were treated as ancient myths, and she trembled in rage when she told them that they were ancient myths.

“what? ancient? Ha, did time really go by like this? My flowery age… 」

Unlike her light personality, she boasted quite a vast amount of knowledge.

‘Did anyone have easy access to this information in those days?’

Even the civilization, culture, and social system of the giants of that time, which you can’t even guess. To the extent that there is no unknown information.

“Do you know what your civil servant is? I guess you think of giants as barbarians now, but I was an edgy elite civil servant, right?”

She flirted by referring to a position she had never heard of.

“You don’t believe it? You know the current civilization you’re talking about is more savage, right? Ha, feudalism, when was the enemy?”

Feudalism, d. I vaguely understood what it meant, but I couldn’t figure out exactly what it meant.

So she answered most of Allen’s personal questions, but she kept her mouth shut and did not answer a few questions.

“So, why were you there?”

“Why did the age of dragons and giants end?”

She didn’t respond as if she hadn’t heard the question. Allen said she asked a few more similar questions before she stopped asking about it.

“Sorry. I can’t say this.”

“No, everyone has secrets.”

Didn’t he himself reveal everything to her and ask for help?

Returner, possessor, reincarnation.

Although it was worth asking about this, she did not ask him. she knows she too I’m not ready to ask those kinds of questions yet.

In fact, their relationship was quite ambiguous.

There was no proper solidarity, and there was not enough time to exchange trust and faith.

It was just a relationship that only came out together because we were at the ruins. Allen knew it, and she knew it. But the only difference is that she doesn’t necessarily need Allen… .

‘That I need her.’

He didn’t even know the title of the book, so he needed her, who might be able to get more information.

So Allen did not hide his purpose. Is it necessary to hide the truth from the sword that is not even human in the first place?

“Now that I am released from the ruins, where do I go?”

「Um, no? I don’t have why?”

“To be honest, I need you.”

Allen spoke calmly while looking at the light that fell on the entrance in front of me.

“I need your power. I need your ability to read titles that the owner of the book can’t even read, and I hope you learn a lot of knowledge and swordsmanship from you.”

Julius must have learned the sword from Bestla too.

If he did, is there anything he couldn’t do?

There she was quite knowledgeable. So, being able to learn many of her forgotten knowledge was enough reason to recruit her.

It was even strong, so there was no doubt about its performance as a weapon.

Perhaps she was taken aback by his straightforward words, the hilt of the sword that flew gracefully through the air twitched and stopped.

“uh… Well, yes. Confession is embarrassing, well, okay.”

Contrary to Allen, who was thinking about the conditions for conciliation, she waved her blade from side to side, and immediately complied with his request.

“It is the duty of an adult to help the little giant.”

Allen sighed in relief at her permission, grabbed her as she flew right in front of him and answered.

“Thank you. By the way… Do you have any other special abilities?”

“A special ability? Want more than a talking sword? Aren’t you too conscientious?”

Allen stared at him in a bewildered way, and Bestla waved the handle and pulled it out of his hand.

“Right now, it’s too much for me to use all my strength. Even now, I actually want to go to sleep right away, but I was afraid to throw it away. Now that I’m out, I… Ha-am, I’ll close my eyes for a moment.”

“Then, I wish you well in the future.”

.

“yes… . I wish you well too… .”

After saying those words, she quietly settled into his hand.

Allen shook his head for a moment.

The entrance to the ruins was still welcoming intruders with their black jaws wide open.

“Somehow, you have accomplished what you set out to do.”

A thin arc was drawn on his lips at the fact that he had successfully completed everything he had planned at the ruins.

Now it’s time to go back.

Julius, to the mansion where he is waiting.

Allen moved to hiding in an area that was as sparsely populated as possible.

Because he was naked, not wearing a single thread. Therefore, he cut down on eating and sleeping, and moved on at a fast pace.

After moving my newly acquired body for a few days, I was able to learn the sense of urgency. It would be difficult to seize detailed power, but it was okay to say that breaking the ground in one step was gone.

Allen didn’t forget to think about what to do next as he moved.

‘First, meet Miss Francisca.’

Exactly, I needed to tell you about the chimera he gave her.

Later, Inelia heard that the chimera’s soul had been struck by a demon, as Allen had guessed. But Allen was unable to receive from her chimera the peculiar, dreadful, demonic feeling she had felt for herself.

If that guy is the devil.

What did you meet in your previous life?

‘Wasn’t it the devil?’

I needed to know what was different, why, and why.

Next up is Enelia.

There was a contract between him and her that led to the real name he had stolen from the chimera magician.

I didn’t mean to force anything with it, but it was necessary to talk to her about it.

‘The chimera magician’s actions have been questioned in many ways.’

It would be nice if she could get a clue about the forces connected to the Chimera Magician.

Where could he have been able to obtain such things, who had been buried in the mountains in the first place?

The stone sword I used last. The body of an ancient fairy tribe. And equipment, including magic catalysts.

The more I looked at it, the more uncomfortable I felt.

As Allen was planning what to do after returning to the mansion, Vestla’s mysterious voice was heard.

She woke up several times a day, and said it was difficult to remain conscious for long periods of time.

“Where are you? Are there many wagons? Didn’t I say that the place you live is a nook?”

“Are you awake now? It’s not to say that it’s a nook, but the reason there are so many wagons, ah.”

Allen suddenly realized that more than a month had passed since the day he left the mansion.

‘Is it already time for the case to begin?’

When Julius was in the estate, he remembered the events in relatively detail. Because he could hear the details without having to listen.

The whereabouts of him after he left the estate were heard only through rumors, but now it doesn’t matter.

I was able to gather detailed information from the Black Book.

‘Now the important thing is… .’

Accidents happen during the festival.

Thanks to that, the family spread disgrace from the surrounding nobles in many ways.

Allen increased his running speed. He seemed to have spent more time than he expected to practice.

He answered her question calmly, as if nothing had happened.

“… I thought Thanksgiving was over now.”

“Thanksgiving Day? What is it? Just hearing the name, it seems like a kind of anniversary… 」

She didn’t seem to know it was Thanksgiving. Was food plentiful in ancient times? Allen meekly explained the significance of Thanksgiving.

It is a festival to share the joy of the first harvest of the year.

The biggest festival was held in El Round, the city directly governed by the family, so carriages were driven.

Having explained that, she muttered in wonder.

“It’s very exciting! Is there such a festival? Is it because ancient times were better? Lack of food… .”

According to her, the food was about to rot thanks to the now-disappearing fairy tribe… Well, Allen couldn’t quite believe it.

‘The amount of food a giant eats in a day would be huge, but even after producing all of it, there is still food left?’

Even now, thanks to the food the elves supply to the continent, fewer people die of starvation every year. But that’s not to say that it’s decreasing, not disappearing.

People still died, and it was natural.

‘By the way… .’

There is no end to food, and it is about to rot.

Except that the ancient times were full of dangerous monsters, it would have been a kind of paradise for the poor.

There is no shortage of food, and we have a highly civilized society.

They were worshiped by other races.

He also possessed a force comparable to that of a dragon.

They could not understand why they disappeared into history.

‘Is this the same for ancient empires?’

What is the reason that the era of splendid civilization has suddenly come to an end twice?

Allen moved forward at a rapid pace, recalling the questions many historians have.

at that time.

“-Kill it!”

“-Take them all!”

There was the sound of iron clashing and loud shouts.

Allen’s heart vibrated softly, and his senses radiated in the direction the sound was heard.

An overwhelming range different from before.

As I closed my eyes and focused, the situation was drawn.

A few wagons, mercenaries guarding them, and thieves twice as many as mercenaries.

It was a common raid on the top.

Normally, soldiers patrolled around the city to prevent accidents. But now is the festival season with crowds.

You can’t prevent all the events that usually happen, but it was obvious at times like now.

‘Lucky or bad… .’

What if it’s not the intention to eat and fall in love?

Unfortunately, there was no chance that the raid by the thieves would succeed.

“This is your chance to test your strength.”

He didn’t mean to leave him like that.

Allen wrapped himself around a thread.

Exponentially consumed mana constituted a materialized thread to cover his naked body. Temporarily veiled, he immediately kicked the ground.

Tatak!

The purpose was simple.

‘I hear rumors that happened in the estate for a month.’

If you are a merchant, you must be sensitive to the surrounding trends and rumors.

There is also the status of being the eldest son of the count and the justification that he saved him from an attack.

Even merchants sensitive to profits were more likely to cooperate.

‘I was trying to find a place to get some clothes, but it worked.’

They hide, but how far will they go in such a shameful way? The destination is getting closer.

“I ask you to pretend to be an ordinary sword in front of others.”

「Wow, I am an ordinary sword! Can I do this?」

Allen rushed behind the battlefield where he had turned without answering.

No magic is used.

It’s going to be too much for these little bastards.

The thief, standing at the end of the battle, quickly turned his head at the sight of something approaching at high speed.

“… What, what!”

The thief immediately turned back and had a sloppy posture. He believed in his meager amount of magical power, and his confidence seemed to rise.

“Who are you… uh?”

In an instant, the thief’s head, cut off, floats in the air.

Allen was slightly admiring the clean sword strike, so that no resistance was felt. As long as she doesn’t really have any other special abilities, it shouldn’t matter.

As he entered the battlefield anew, the bandits quickly shouted.

“What are you!”

“A new enemy!”

“Take care of it! Busy here!”

“No, damn it. There’s something strange about this bastard!”

“Do it yourself!”

Like a thief, the command and command system are different. It looked clumsy, but in that most of it uses a little bit of magic, is it more dangerous than a normal thief?

‘Yes, it is a thief.’

It seemed like he had gathered a lot of energy to make a big deal, but he would not have expected that he would meet an opponent like him.

He threw himself at the approaching thief.

“porridge-“

“No, sir-”

There was no blood on the sharp blade, and when he swung his fist, he felt only the texture of mud.

– Poseok

My brain was drenched with blood and oozing out.

‘The trash.’

Allen’s cold eyes turned to them.

Parasites that eat the blood of Youngji people. Allen had no mercy as the accident that occurred at this festival also had to do with thieves.

Sensing power covered the entire battlefield, confirming the thief.

Now, even if you run away, you will be able to track them.

Allen slammed the ground with an expressionless expression.

“Behind, a monster came from behind—”

“Call the others! Damn it, call me more!”

The massacre began.
