The Live

Shh, shh, shh.

Rest -

A short dagger in one hand cuts through the air. After a short cut, you stab the hypothetical enemy deeply and repeat to retreat back.

‘A little looser than a big swing. Swinging takes life in a heartbeat with minimal movement, focusing on scarcity and critical puncturing. ’

A dagger shorter than a sword.

Yun Jae did not understand why he used such a weapon. However, after using it myself, I realized that even a short dagger has its advantages.

“This one looks pretty ripe, too. ”

Ting-

Yoon Jae dropped the dagger in his hand without hesitation.

Half a day.

Pick a weapon, and it takes time for it to ripen into your hands. At first, it took more than a day, and time was gradually decreasing.

“Phew -”

Yoon Jae stood there for a moment and breathed out a tired breath. I can feel the sweetness in my mouth with a sticky needle.

When I woke up, it was already dark around me. The sun was setting one day.

‘It's been a month since I've been here. ’

Time passed faster than I thought.

At first, I felt like every day was too long. Every moment was hard, so it was no wonder that time felt slow as painful as it was.

Suddenly, I forgot that time had passed. Everyone moved their bodies except for eating and sleeping, so time naturally passed away.

‘Status.’

[Information]

Name: Kim Yun-jae

Strength: 100

Health: 101

Agility: 94

Reflectivity: 86

Physical Resistance: 88

Magic Power: 104

Maggie: 104

Yoon Jae checks his stats and nods satisfactorily.

‘It's growing faster than I thought. ’

I thought I was lacking in stamina.

Four in a month.

This was the progress of the elders. Of course, the rate at which the stats rose was slowing, but if you keep moving, it will eventually be resolved.

‘Not only my physical strength, but also my magical strength. Thanks to the horseman's armor, my skill level has improved a lot... ’

Yoon Jae muttered as he barely sat down on the floor.

“The reverse is still a burden. ”

Within a month, Yoon Jae used backlash.

I don't know how it works, but Yoon Jae's magical amplification method, 'Reversal’, was created in the form of a skill.

And since it's made of skills, the more you use it, the more skill you will have to climb with it.

Essentially, the skill gradually changed in a more beneficial direction, such as the higher the skill level, the stronger the power or the lower the rate of horsepower consumption.

Reversal will not be different.

Perhaps the more skilled the skill, the less side effects it has.

In addition, the more I used the reverse direction, the more my body might adapt to it.

‘Above all……. ’

Yoon Jae remembered Kim Jin-seok's basic truth, which was so obvious.

‘The body grows stronger, tearing, breaking and restoring. ’

Yoon Jae smiled bitterly thinking that way.

I had to laugh.

Side effects of the most devastating reversal. I can't believe you're going to use it to burn and recover and train yourself.

Even though we struggled to overcome it, the way we ended up was near.

‘It's time to go in. ’

Yoon Jae, who had sat down and rested for about five minutes, moved into the hut.

Kim Jin-seok and Jung were already entering the cabin and resting. Regular people lay in bed grumbling to see if they had lost their minds in daylight fights.

“Are you okay? ”

“This guy? ”

Kim Jin-seok, who was grilling meat in the middle of the kitchen, answered Yun Jae's question.

“But you're not so easily sober anymore. It's definitely growing. ”

“It's not too hard? ”

“Are you worried about him? ”

“I have to worry. ”

Yoon Jae sighed as she looked at the regime turning around, grunting.

“She's still a child. ”

“…… not really. You guys haven't been here long. ”

They gained magical power, their physical strength became stronger, and they hardly aged. Kim Jin-seok also appeared to be in the late 20s, but in reality he was close to fifty.

Compared to them, normal was just 20 years old.

“And you are? Isn't it hard?”

“I can take it. ”

“You're not going to make it. ”

Tadak, Tak -

Kim Jin-seok placed the meat stuck in the skewers in the middle of the brazier and approached Yun Jae.

Yoon Jae stood still, wanting to do something.

By the way.

“Ugh!"

Suddenly, you prick Yoon Jae's name with your fingertips. It wasn't very strong, but I felt the whole body relaxing.

“What are you...? ”

“I know you're not feeling well. Don't get cocky in front of me. ”

Jin-seok Kim kicked his tongue and went back to his original position.

“The skill of burning that body you mentioned. I keep using that skill while swinging my weapon to get used to it. Then your body will tire and crumble several times faster. ”

“How did you... ”

“Isn't it odd that every time you use a skill, your magic flows like crazy and you don't even know it? ”

“Ah……. ”

Yoon Jae smiled with a shy expression.

His questions were stupid. When you use Reverse Reverse Reverse Reverse, your existing magical power is multiplied by several times.

Kim Jin-seok, who is sensitive to magic, couldn't have known that.

“Why are you doing this? ”

Yoon Jae hesitated for a moment to answer Kim Jin-seok who turned his back and asked.

While thinking about it for a while, he went and sat next to Kim Jin-seok.

“I want to see my family. ”

“Family? Did you have a family? ”

“Yes.”

“I see. So to get back.... ”

“Dead.”

In Yun Jae's answer, Kim Jin-seok turned to him, looking at the fireplace.

Yoon Jae gathered his hands together and looked down at the floor, shaking his hands for no reason.

“Just in case I get the Holy Grail...... I wonder if I'll ever see them again." ”

Yoon Jae said that, lowering his head deeper and smiling bitterly.

“I know it's funny. Trying to get back to the dead. But I'm going to give it a shot. In this absurd world, there could be one more absurd thing, right? ”

“Fantastic.”

Kim Jin-seok said honestly.

He looks at the burnt chunk of meat. Sitting in front of an active fireplace, he smiled lightly for the first time in a month.

“Family, friends, lovers...... that I can act like that for someone other than myself. I think it's pretty cool. ”

“Is that so?”

“Like you said, this world doesn't make sense. It's a world in which all common sense is turned upside down. It is a world where it is not impossible for the dead to be raised to life or change the twisted past. Your winds aren't all that funny. ”

“Changing the past…… again……. ”

Yoon Jae felt a strange feeling in his words. Yoon Jae, whose eyes were wide open, said it in his mouth.

Change the past.

It was what he was already going through.

Yoon Jae asked, thinking about it.

“Do you know anything about that? ”

“That?”

“The past……. ”

“Ah, changing the past. ”

“Yes.”

Kim Jin-seok, who was looking at Yoon Jae with a lot of tension, thought for a moment and replied.

“I just heard a rumor. There are items like that that can change the past. It's not even confirmed because it's such a mysterious rumor. ”

“Where do the rumors come from? ”

“Nothing. If it had been like that, we would have found it long ago. You know, we need to change things, too. ”

“ ……. ”

In response, Yoon Jae heavily nodded.

It was the first generation, including Kim Jin-seok, who wanted to change the past more than anyone else.

They wanted to change the past where the key that came into the other world with them died.

“I scoured the source of the rumors, as well as the area where the rumors had been circulating and the nearby cities. As a result, I didn't find anything. ”

“Was it a rumor? ”

“Well, I don't know about that. Even if such an item exists, there's nothing strange about it here. ”

It was an unconvinced voice. Kim Jin-seok's gaze at the brazier with a skewer turned to the center of the flame.

Yoon Jae thought, following his gaze.

‘It's not a rumor. ’

exist.

Items that change the past.

It was in Yoon Jae's arms.

* * *

That night.

Yoon Jae did not sleep well.

Yoon Jae, who was lying on the floor separately, lit the light with a furnace and handed over the diary one by one.

‘The diary is not set as an item. ’

The easiest way to distinguish between items and non-items was emotion.

Ordinary items that did not have special effects did not become emotions, but items with certain special abilities were able to feel the effects.

Even if I did not feel it, I could not feel it.

‘This also has to do with the world of the other side.... ’

Items that can change the past.

It came to Yoon Jae in the form of a diary.

Is it because the diary itself is not an item? ’

The diary was a gift from Yoon Jae's wife.

Not the other side, but the original world.

So if it didn't make any sense, I could understand.

‘Then there is an item that becomes a mediator of the diary... …. ’

And it was the future self that acquired the item.

‘My head hurts. ’

I did not know how the future itself acquired the item.

And there was no reason to look again, but I was unsure that if I knew that, I might be able to learn more about the future even if I didn't read the diary.

Yoon Jae stopped his hand after handing over one of the journals.

Reached a page that will not open again

‘It's about time we opened it. ’

Unlike the first time, Yoon Jae was quite deviant from the obsession that he had to check the next page of the diary.

The future has changed too much anyway. The present and the diary were too different.

Perhaps the current situation is too premature and the journal records are not helpful.

Yoon Jae, who has received quite a lot of help from the journal so far, thought that the journal might not be open.

‘But are you…. ’

The same idea all the time.

But just in case.

Yoon Jae opened the next chapter of the diary with such a light heart.

By the way.

Sarak-

The next chapter unfolded.

Yoon Jae, who was leaning against the wall and reading the diary, hurriedly raised his waist.

Then Kim Jin-seok, who was sleeping next to me, asked.

“What are you doing? ”

“No, it's not. ”

“What book? No. Is that a journal? ”

“My wife gave it to me before I went to the other side. ”

“Really?"

Kim Jin-seok, who had narrowed his eyes, replied like that, then closed his eyes again and turned around.

Yoon Jae turned his eyes back to the diary in the most casual posture possible.

‘What the hell is this open criteria? ’

I was always confused.

Do they really spread out one by one to help themselves? That's what I thought.

In fact, the records in the diary have greatly influenced Yoon Jae in making any decisions.

‘At least one thing is certain. ’

Every time a journal was unfolded, there was only one case.

Monsters in the tutorials and Abram, the Scarecrow, and the Midlands.

In that case, it was likely that there would also be a record of something else.

Yoon Jae took a small breath and began to check the diary again.

One chapter, Yoon Jae's eyes gradually widened as he read the diary.
