Record of a Thousand Lives

When I woke up, I smelled a heavy blooming smell.

When I narrowed my eyes, I could see this place was a morgue.

It was a place where animals and monsters' bodies were taken apart and converted into leather and meat.

“What, what? ”

I tried to get up, but I couldn't.

Min Chan realized that his body was tied up as a rope.

Shaking his whole body, the boy cried out for a slit throat.

“What? What?! Let me go!”

I didn't hear an answer.

The lamp on the ceiling just gives off a faint glow and waves.

The morgue was quiet, making sure no one was there.

“Ugh... Ugh. ”

A man walks in from across the dark.

Kang Yoon-soo.

Lee Minchan shouted in a panic.

“Sa, help me! Help me, please! ”

“Shut up.”

A cold, dry voice.

Minchan breathed and swallowed dry water.

He pleads with a restrained body.

“Sa, help me! Please! I won't do it again! I'm not killing anyone. I'm not brainwashing anyone! I'll just be nice! You did this to a minor who knows nothing! So please forgive me! ”

No answer was heard.

Just silence.

Kang Yoon-soo found what she wanted.

He has a whip in his right hand.

Lee Min-chan gave me goosebumps all over.

It was the same whip that he had been using.

Immigration Chan shouted, trembling.

“Sa, help me! Please don't hit me! ”

“I'm not going to kill you with my own hands. ”

Immigration's expression brightened for a moment.

He was a man without a face like a mask, but he must have been reluctant to kill life.

When the boy was relieved, Kang Yoon-soo slowly picked up the whip.

“You will die by your own hand. ”

Min Chan felt his whole body grow hairy.

What does that mean?

At that moment, Yoon-soo Kang whipped the boy's cheek in horror.

“Ahhhh!"

Kang Yoon-soo's whip was incredibly elaborate and painful compared to Min Chan's own.

I shredded my skin, avoiding the crucial scourge of the migrant Chan.

It wasn't dead, but it was painful enough to want to die.

“It hurts! It hurts! Fuck!”

He chewed his bloody lips and cried out for help.

Tears and blood rose from his cheeks.

However, Kang Yoon-soo did not stop whipping.

“Why, why are you trying to kill me! You son of a bitch! You can either call the investigator or put him in jail! I-I did something wrong, but you don't deserve to kill me! Fuck...! ”

Kang Yoon-soo flogged again and again.

By the time Min Chan was out of his mind, I heard the final answer.

“How far can a man carry out his anger against a boy who raped and murdered a woman who was his wife? ”

“W-what? ”

“Angry man has killed a boy repeatedly. Sometimes at once, torturing. Even if anger fades. Always, always. I've killed a boy a hundred times over. ”

The long whip's tip brushes the cheeks of Lee Min-chan.

I felt the pain of burning cheeks, and the immigration dinner breathed out a harsh breath.

Kang Yoon-soo said in a low voice.

“Why did you kill him? ”

Kang Yoon-soo approached Min Chan's face.

I'm getting close enough to breathe.

A cold, static voice pierced my ears.

“When you killed Shanette, she was my wife. That's the only reason you're dying right now. ”

Immigration chant trembles and shouts out against the evil.

“What nonsense! Are you really going to kill me? Then you're a murderer! ”

“I know.”

Kang Yoon-soo stepped back and picked up the whip.

I punched the boy in the jaw again.

Immigration Chan bursts into tears and trembles in great pain.

“Son of a bitch. Son of a bitch! Son of a bitch!”

Kang Yoon-soo pointed to the objects on the floor, as if to look at the words of the boy.

Lee Minchan's face turned pale.

A riding whip. A club. Dagger.

These were tools that Migrant Chan had been torturing women.

Kang Yoon-soo stabbed the dagger into Lee Min-chan's wrist, and the club swung it on his cheek.

Sprinkle-!

Immigrant Chan was unconscious because of the pain.

The boy couldn't take it anymore.

Immigrant Chan frowns and shuts his mouth, immediately trembling.

Blood gushed out of the boy's extremely frightened lips.

The boy bit his tongue.

Mi Minchan's teary eyes shook.

“Damn it... You're so sick... I'd rather... die... tortured!" ”

He couldn't breathe, whether his tongue was stuck in his throat.

The boy struggles and soon stops convulsing.

He killed himself.

Kang Yoon-soo gazed indifferently at the boy's corpse.

“The world doesn't just work for you. ”

Kang Yoon-soo stretched out his right arm.

The ring of life pressure on your finger glows black.

“Soul gathering.”

(gasps) (gasps)

Immigration's soul cried out endlessly and was sucked into a black ring.

I gathered the soul of a corrupt boy.

Corruption

Remaining Times 3 "

Kang Yoon-soo took his finger to the corner of the ring.

It was cold.

A corrupt soul could be used as a material for a command weapon or for a curse by blowing it into a doll.

‘We'll have to destroy the evidence. If there's a body left, the investigators will find it. ’

Kang Yoon-soo hugged the corpse of Minchan, who had drowned her soul.

The equipment used for the murder was in the corners of the boy's clothes and pockets.

Kang Yoon-soo then placed the body in the entrance of the sharp disassembler.

His movements didn't even hesitate.

Immediately, the cracking of bones and flesh resounded fiercely.

* * *

“... I mean, Kang Yoon-soo needs to tell me more. Especially last night. There's always something reckless and clumsy about it. We're traveling together, right? So don't just bear it alone with me...... Are you listening to me? ”

Yoon-soo Kang lifted his closed eyelid.

The aroma of aromatic coffee caught my nose and the morning sun warmed my eyes.

Shanette sits in front of him with a grumpy look on her face.

He said.

“No.”

“ ……. ”

She puffs up her cheeks a little and says,

“Kang Yoon-soo, I hate being so honest. ”

The morning at the Golden Inn was warm and peaceful.

The breakfast that sudden death brought was plentiful and the apple liquor smelled good.

Kang Yoon-soo only took a drink without touching the meal.

“Do you only drink in the morning? ”

“It's usually a breakfast filter. ”

“Then it's not good for you. ”

“I know.”

“ ……. ”

Kang Yoon-soo poured another drink.

Immigration was as bad in nature and intimidating as brainmagic at a young age.

If he had left it alone, he would have become a great enemy later on.

‘Now that you've killed Minchan, it's a real hunt. ’

Monster hunting.

It is the most fundamental way to grow strength.

Travelers usually search for monster habitats or go hunting on a continental quest.

But hunting in a normal place is meaningless to Kang Yoon-soo.

‘There is a hunting ground in Hylea that will be the starting point for the Legendary Quest. ’

Legendary quest.

A quest with a Devil difficulty that can only be performed by someone who has reached the highest rank, unlike other quests.

However, it also provided a way to grow faster and safer than others.

Shanette looks at him instead of having breakfast.

“So, what are you going to do today? ”

“We have to hunt. ”

“Where?”

“The Alchemy Clan Building. ”

Clan.

It means an organization created by many people with a special purpose.

In Sylphia, there were also a number of clans originally created by travelers from around the world.

But hunting in a building like that?

“What do you mean? ”

Shanette tilts her head, her eyes wide open.

Kang Yoon-soo glanced at her like that.

I've seen Shanette's death hundreds of times, repeating my life.

It was the same in my past life.

The world was torn apart by the emperor, and Shanette was crushed to death.

But she, who disappeared with the world, is once again sitting in front of her.

Like never before.

Kang Yoon-soo said.

“Thank you.”

“What?”

He said what was right.

“For being alive. ”

* * *

The two of them left the inn and walked the street.

It wasn't hard to find an Alchemy Clan building in the middle of the city.

Shanette tilts her head.

“Can I hunt in the Alchemy Clan Building, not even a monster colony? I've never heard that before. ”

“It's possible.”

Kang Yoon-soo answered briefly and entered the building.

A blonde woman who looked like an employee smiled kindly.

“This is the Alchemy Clan Hylean Branch. What can I do for you? ”

“I'm here to hunt the Chimera. ”

She looks embarrassed and says.

“Oh... you mean the Chimera Dimension? ”

“That's right.”

“You've fulfilled the Alchemists' secret quest. What's the password?”

I had never entered an Alchemy Clan building before, rather than the secret Alchemists' quest.

However, Kang Yoon-soo said the password as if it were natural.

“Creating a world is harder than breaking it. ”

“You have proven your entry into the A-blockade chimeric dimension. ”

The blonde woman said in an office tone.

“The Chimeric Dimension is a place where horrific chimeras live, and it's very dangerous. But you can achieve that much growth and that rare reward. Of course, the Alchemy Clan accepts no responsibility for your human rights abuses and your death. ”

Kang Yoon-soo nodded.

They were facts I didn't have to listen to anyway.

The chimeric dimension is actually a very dangerous place.

When I first learned of the existence of the chimeric dimension in my previous life, I had already lost hundreds of adventurers there.

“Initial candidates may begin on the first floor. The Chimeric Dimension is made up of five floors, and on the top floor there are powerful boss monsters. Keep in mind that the Chimera Dimension will be closed automatically upon the death of the boss monster. ”

‘The timing of the automatic closure was problematic. ’

Originally, the chimeric dimension was a free place to enter.

A place where you can go if you want to hunt monsters and risk your life or feel bad.

However, even without the death of the boss monster, the entrance was closed.

Eventually, all the people in the room could not come out and were killed.

Alchemists were desperate at the time, but in reality, it was their intended accident.

To secretly use people who were hunting in the Chimera dimension as research materials.

In addition to Hylea Dan, the chimeric dimension was opened in this way in other branches.

It's because an alchemist wanted to use people's corpses to make stronger artificial life.

‘Lumiere Kizan, Imperial Genius Alchemist. ’

Kang Yoon-soo looked at the blonde woman.

She was just an employee, and what was really bad was certain alchemists.

In the past, there have been many righteous people who have prevented their evil deeds with their whole body.

But now I'm under no obligation.

Kang Yoon-soo said something else.

“I have someone I need to see. ”

“Who are you talking about? If it's an important promise, we'll take some money and fly you a brochure. ”

“I'm a current alchemist who fulfills the quest. His name is Se-hyun Han. He wears an off-white armor and a cape painted by a white lion. ”

Kang Yoon-soo gave out 1 gold coin.

The blonde woman looks at the paperwork and nods.

“I see you have some information left in my clan. I'll send him the fastest frozen text. We'll be in touch by tonight, at least. ”

Kang Yoon-soo walked down the hall.

Shanette follows behind him and asks.

“Who is the one you were calling? ”

“Someone who will help you later. ”

Yoon-soo Kang frowned not like him because of the convenience of thinking.

Every time I come back, I have to meet him, but I can't erase the annoying one.

‘If it wasn't for Levels and Power, he wouldn't have come into contact with us, but it's easy to do tricks with him. ’

Shanette looks curious.

“But what is the Chimeric Dimension? ”

“Alchemist's Bin of Trash. ”

“Yes? What does that mean? ”

“I hate to say it. ”

Shanette pulls the bottle out of her backpack and shakes it hard.

It was intended to be able to break the bottle immediately.

Then Kang Yoon-soo opened his mouth.

“If you do alchemy experiments, you'll have a lot of failures to throw away. But if you throw it anywhere, you will be very angry. So an alchemist created a dimension to throw away his failed work. At that level, alchemists have always abandoned experimental failures. Over the years, many failed works have been piled up and mixed into chimeric habitats. ”

“Are people volunteering to go to such a dangerous place? ”

“A hidden hunting ground. ”

In fact, the Chimeric Dimension was a place for corrupt alchemists to prepare sacrificial sheep for the creation of synthetic life, but it was not necessary to explain it.

‘But the reward is a good place. The Black drop from the boss monsters on the top floor can be used for a long time, especially. ’

Kang Yoon-soo stood in front of a fiery fireplace.

It was an old, insignificant fireplace.

As Shanette tilted her head, Major Yoon-soo grabbed her wrist.

“Don't throw up. ”

“Yes?”

Kang Yoon-soo stepped out toward the fireplace.

Then, as if a small fireplace had swallowed Kang Yoon-soo, his body rushed in.

Shanette opens her mouth in shock, but her body is also sucked into the fireplace.

“Gaaaaaah!”
