Record of a Thousand Lives

The dark forest path was rough.

There are sharp, tangled roots.

“I can't see very well. ”

Iris was still depressed by the death of the white horse.

Then Shanette raises her finger.

“Chlorination.”

The pink flame burns with her fingertips.

It was the perfect brightness for the lamp.

“Now I have some fire tactics. ”

Henryk praises you as if you were great.

“You've become strangely useful? ”

“What am I? ”

Shanette insisted.

Kang Yoon-soo noticed that one side of his backpack was strangely glowing.

Uriel's hair glows.

Uriel's Hair

Uriel's hair. Burning it can bring down angels. You can't call her at night or in a corrupt place.

+ The more often the angels come, the shorter the time for them to be on the ground.

‘I don't have to call an angel unless I have to. ’

Uriel is an angel of level 600 or higher.

An angel on the battlefield will be a great force.

But at the same time, you lose the opportunity to master EXP.

‘If you call often, you will have less time to come down to the ground. ’

In my past life, there was some information about angels because I had money in ancient ruins or fables.

A race with endless sacred power, but naturally inhabited the heavenly realms.

Unlike demons that can live on the ground for a long time, there is limited time to come to earth.

‘I need to find out more about the Angelic Rainforest. ’

The sun went down completely, and the moon rose to the skies.

I was just about to decide where to camp at night.

“Where are you from? ”

A man appeared.

David picks a traveler and abducts him.

Continents have lived in a completely different world, so they have a great sense of otherness when they kill.

Above all, there was his own reason.

‘It's fun to cut your wrists with a handset. ’

A terminal is an important item for travellers to live on the continent.

Unlike continents that are able to see their native stats and explanations, only a handset allows travelers to see the phrase.

So, if the terminal disappeared, the traveler would literally fall out of the world.

‘I can't raise my stats or read the description of the item even if I level up. ’

The terminal cannot be removed from the wrist.

Therefore, if you lose the handset, it is when you cut your wrist.

‘That look on your face when you lose the system that everyone else sees. ’

It was no exaggeration for David to kidnap and kill travelers because of that expression.

‘There are quite a few handsets stored in the ruins. ’

That's how many murders he's committed.

Following the red dot marked on the handset, a light appeared.

You see the group preparing for camp.

‘Two men and two women. If you look at the guy in the terminal, he's a traveler. ’

Descriptions represented by the characteristics of the owners of the ruins indicated that one traveler, two continents, and one monster.

David raises his eyebrows.

"Monster?"

In the ruins, I thought you were carrying a Tamer class or a trained monster.

However, there were only four normal people in the group.

Is there something wrong with his profession?

‘I am not worried that if something goes wrong, I can go back to the ruins. ’

David came out alone from the ruins of the Home Ground because he had a backup plan.

He had a skill called 'Return Ruins’ and was able to return to the heart of the Ruins during a crisis.

A skill that can only be used once a week because of its limited number of times.

David steps in front of them.

“Where are you from? ”

It is his long-standing habit to ask where he came from before he died.

Kang Yoon-soo slowly opened his mouth.

“Somewhere in Korea. ”

“I'm from Singapore. ”

Shanette looks cautious.

“Who are you suddenly asking where you're from? And what does Singapore mean? ”

“The capital of a country called Singapore. ”

David spits out a habit.

He twitches his fingers in his chest.

Kang Yun-su's back bush suddenly moved.

Qajik-!

“Intermediate.”

David raises his eyebrows ferociously.

Mana's thread, which extends from his finger, tangles together because of Henry's one hand.

Henryk winces.

“You're good at hiding Mana threads, but you have too many useless moves. You've never been taught to be a puppet, have you? ”

“…… Are you a puppet? ”

“That's none of your business. ”

Henryk moves his hand against the tangled Mana thread.

Then the doll behind the bush moves according to his will.

“…… what? ”

Henry frowns.

What appeared beyond the bush was not a man, but a wooden doll.

A woman with a left-handed prosthetic arm and a bow was connected to Mana's thread.

Henryk's face stiffens.

“This...... is crazy. Did you make a doll out of a corpse? ”

David quickly pulls out a special knife in his left hand and cuts Mana's thread.

Then I took out the puppet summon box from my arms.

“Kill.”

20 puppets were summoned.

Shanette hears Side, but is appalled.

“I, they all look like people! ”

It wasn't just a doll.

Starting with the man with the knife and the woman with the cane.

The bodies of those who were no different from the real humans were connected to the thread.

Iris opened her eyes wide.

“Everyone... is smiling. ”

The corpse dolls were holding their mouths long.

The sight of people smiling modestly with swords in their hands was frightening.

Henryk sharpened his teeth.

“Stay sharp, man! Even the outwardly deceived doll! If you think about your conscience in vain, you'll be in trouble! ”

The corpse dolls moved momentarily.

It was much faster and quicker than a wooden doll.

The moment Shanette lifts her side and blocks the sword across from her, a fireball flies from behind her.

Glug-ug-!

“Thank you!”

The flaming Shanette strikes the doll's weapon vigorously.

Henryk quickly pulled out the dolls and shouted.

“Aim for the doll, not the doll! Because he's controlling the doll! ”

David manipulates the doll with a quick flick.

Dozens of dolls stood in his way.

Kang Yoon-soo said, pulling out his sword.

“Iris.”

Iris hits the ground hard.

At that moment, the entire front of the earth was dug out.

I could not even see the power of man.

Was that the monster in the group? ’

David raises his eyebrows.

The alignment of the dolls was momentarily distorted.

Kang Yoon-soo rushed in quickly.

“Abyssal Slash. ”

Chang-!

The doll in front of David stands against his sword.

He smiled as if it were interesting.

“You're good with a knife. ”

David knew this type of traveler well.

Travelers with that much carnology usually work in their field in real life.

I would have gone to the slash, honed the sword, learned fencing.

‘But it's just sport. ’

David killed over 10 people on the first day of his transfer to this world.

The reason he was able to kill so many people was not because he was good at fighting.

Mindset.

‘The younger he is, the more guilty he is. ’

That's why David brought in the cadavers when he abducted the travelers.

Corpse dolls are only severed on one wrist and are no different from ordinary people.

It was made of the corpse of a real traveler.

‘That is why there must be a gap. ’

Even continents usually do, but I hesitate to slaughter people if they are travellers from reality.

Especially how many people can suddenly kill an innocent person.

David steps back and pulls out ten more corpses.

‘He has no choice but to hesitate. I'll take care of the gap. ’

The corpse dolls that he had taken out were now among the youngest he had stored.

David is a common sense, but the common man must stop the sword at all costs.

He enjoyed it.

‘The stronger you are, the better you can make dolls. He must be a very good ingredient. ’

But David's predictions were off.

“Abyssal Slash. ”

Screech-!

Kang Yoon-soo slashed the corpse doll before his eyes.

The little boy doll's head is crushed and old blood splashes like a fountain.

However, Kang Yoon-soo never bit the sword.

He did not even show compassion for his words.

Instead, you slash the corpse dolls and approach David.

“What is this? ”

David chuckles.

It was because I had more compassion than I was surprised.

“You're good at killing people. ”

“It's a doll anyway. ”

“Even a child like that would be harmless to destroy. Do you have no children? Oh, you look young. Of course not. ”

Kang Yoon-soo's eyes became cruel due to his indifference.

He squeezes between the dolls and charges too hard.

At that moment, David rolls his hands down.

Five puppets aimed for Kang Yoon-soo at the same time.

Chang-!

Shanette's sickle, Henry's doll, and Iris' fist crushed the corpse dolls.

The sound of crumbling bones and crushing flesh resonates violently.

David wondered.

“Don't you feel uncomfortable seeing this? I'm no different from normal people, so I don't break corpses very well. ”

“Of course not. But I hate Kang Yoon-soo's death even more. ”

Shanette said coldly.

David couldn't understand.

He tried to scratch his head.

Then I realized my left hand was cut off.

The handset's wrist falls, and the blood flows heavily.

“Ugh-!"

David steps back.

Kang Yoon-soo waved his bloody knife lightly.

“Die.”

David's grumpy expression breaks.

He smiles nervously and reveals his nature.

“What were you doing in real life? ”

“I don't remember. ”

“I'm sure he was as crazy as I was. ”

“There are a lot of crazy people in the world. ”

Kang Yoon-soo recalled the leader of the Black Ho Clan.

His blade points to David's heart.

“The wrist can be attached with a tool. Many handsets are stored in ruins. ”

David grins in horror.

Kang Yoon-soo stabbed him without waiting.

“I hope to see you again. Return to the ruins!”

David disappears as soon as the blade is about to touch.

Shanette stares blankly at his disappearance.

“What the...... was that guy? ”

Suddenly appeared, ambushed, and disappeared.

Even though I was hurt, I did not feel afraid at all.

Henryk looks at the fragmented corpses around him.

“Human tooling?”

“It's like Henryk's legacy. Does he have tools? ”

Henryk looks closely at the corpses.

I looked at the holes where Mana's thread was sewn, and I observed the joints of the prosthetic arm.

He sighed.

“This seems like a hassle. ”

“What's going on? ”

Shanette ties up her bloodstained hair and asks.

“I'm going to explain a lot, but let me start with the most shocking thing. ”

Henryk confessed heavily.

“My ancestor was a serial killer maniac. ”

Everyone nods.

“I know.”

“I see.”

“I knew it. ”

Henryk grumbles.

“No, why is everything so natural? ”
