The frog was next to the bird.

He was a bird, then a fleshling, then a wolf. Some became flowers that I didn't know the name of, and some became a tree.

Then the memory stopped.

"It can't be the end? ’

It was absurd.

The effect of using 18.5 million points to climb to S rank is just a few minutes. That's the end of a quick peek at the convenience of life for animals and plants.

This was supposed to make sense.

A new memory was engraved in my head again.

- Gel!

Yoon-suk finally escaped from the dregs.

It started with a Goblin. Then it was an Orc, and then a human life began.

But not Rick Gersei's life.

Primitive times when even language was not properly established.

Yoon-suk was a tribal warrior who protected the people and went out hunting. Then he was killed by the devil himself.

‘What does it mean to think slowly? ’

Yoon Suk realizes one law as he recalls his past life.

Slowly.

It doesn't remind me of all my previous life at once.

Unlike the wells that "reproduction" ended in less than a minute or 10 seconds, a grace period is given after the end of one race.

Also…….

‘The higher the intelligence, the longer the grace period. ’

Yoon-suk sighed without a sound.

Of course, the longer the grace period, the greater the amount of memory that is reproduced, but this is why Rick Gersei's turn will come.

Every single one of them was too single.

Up to now, 30 minutes has been the longest record.

When I was a soldier standing on the Wall.

Yoon-suk experienced 30 minutes of his life. Nothing much. I was just standing next to my colleagues, chatting and everything.

‘Still, it's a good thing that the time to remember isn't real. ’

I felt 30 minutes of memory like my body, but the last time in reality was one second. It's not just experience, it's memory information that's being carved into the brain.

I can't say for sure....

Yoon-suk named this phenomenon ‘Wave’.

And I don't know how many more waves I have left, but I wanted to use my time more efficiently.

He will too, now that the reproduction is over, at least an hour of grace is not needed.

It's a waste of time making fun of nothing.

‘Eighteen million MP……. ’

Yoon-suk checked the remaining MP reserves.

You cannot rank one unique skill as S.

However, it is also too many points to keep.

Do you want to increase your stats, or should I acquire new normal skills and turn them into powers?

Yoon-suk, who was considering such a use, decided to hold the decision until the next duel.

I still have 13 days left, but I think I might need points before that or come up with a better way.

‘Let's save this for now. ’

Yoon-suk also decided to put the ‘Dragonian Heart’ obtained from the last mission in the sub-space bag.

Magic stats below the SSRank are permanently ‘+1’ elixirs, but they can also be used in an emergency to restore all magical power when taken.

We could even use it as a manufacturing material, not as a elixir.

‘Then let's go. ’

The last thing you need to do is double-check the ranking board and you're done in the waiting room.

Yoon-suk returned to Earth without a doubt.

First of all, whatever I was going to do, I was going to meet with Ashton to do an interim inspection and make a move.

“Welcome.”

As soon as I opened my eyes, a staff member who was waiting 24 hours welcomed Yoon-suk.

The location remains in the hotel room where it was before leaving.

Earth for 10 days on a mission. No, at least nothing happened to Incheon. Unlike last time, there are still buildings left.

“Where's Ashton? ”

Yoon-suk asked the employee.

Then, as if to a government official who was dealing with the President, a stiff agent shouted.

“We've contacted you, and the Director will be here shortly! ”

“Sir?"

I asked him about Ashton. Why is he talking about the Director?

As Yoon-suk tilted his head, the agent quickly followed up.

“Challenger Choi Yoon-suk may not know. A few days ago, he stepped up to the chair. ”

“Are you talking about Ashton? ”

“Yes, it is! ”

This agent may not have the qualities to intuitively explain…….

That sounds good.

What has happened in the last 10 days?

What the hell was he supposed to do to get into the director's position as senior manager?

- I-I 'm the X.O.

- Thank you. If Lynn stays here, she'll be a tremendous help in what she's about to do.

Suddenly, the last conversation I had with Eshton made Yoon-suk feel strange.

“I'm asking about the car. What happened to the original Director? ”

After the massacre at the Korean hospital in the past, Yoon-suk negotiated non-negotiation with the director of the U.S. Challenger Management Department. Maybe Ashton killed him and took his place.

But…….

“The original Director? ”

The agent gives you a look that says he doesn't know what's going on.

“Is Mr. Ashton Jackson the director of the World Challenger League…? ”

The World Challenger Federation...

Obviously, he remembered it was an organization that didn't exist until he entered the mission.

* * *

Whoo-hoo!

A car that was idle for a while.

A magic circle was drawn in the hotel room and the light flashed.

Yoon-suk could see it as soon as he saw the flow of magical power.

Was his name Taro Kitamura?

It was a Japanese challenger's ability to travel long distances.

“I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I heard the news and finished in a hurry, but I was in a meeting……. ”

The light fades and Taro Kitamura and Eshton appear together in the room.

Ashton was dressed in a suit that looked luxurious at first glance, and he was assisting Kitamura like an assistant.

Ashton's breath was strong among the challengers in each country, but it wasn't like that until 10 days ago....

I can feel the change in my eyes.

Yoon-suk first sent out the people around him.

And when there were only two left, he asked Ashton like a book.

“... Is there anything you want to tell me? ”

World Challenger Coalition.

The name gives the purpose roughly a guess.

Now it was a necessary tool to prepare for the invaders who had become humanitarian plagues.

One, he worked independently without consultation. Of course, I didn't mean anything by it, and it could have come out of nowhere.

So, once I heard what he said, I decided to make a decision about him.

But...

“We can finally do it. ”

Ashton raises his jaw.

It is far from the expected response.

I thought I'd make a more controversial face, or try to make excuses somehow.

But a face like that without a shadow.

It's like a puppy waiting to be praised for doing something extraordinary.

“Can you do that? Can you tell me the truth so I can understand? ”

When Yoon-suk asked, Ashton quickly recited something.

“Tattoos, imprints, enchantments, and additional empowerment. ”

This is a proposal that Fahrini made while scouting Yoon-suk.

Why am I saying this again?

Soon I could see why.

Ashton spoke to Yoon-suk in an inspiring voice.

“Now we can do it, too. ”

Seeing the joy in his eyes, Yoon-suk realized.

‘This madness……. ’

World Challenger Coalition.

A very large international organization involving the first challenger, founded with the support of 89 governments and receiving substantial contributions from the Savior believers.

It was kind of a fan club.

It's nothing but Yoon-suk's.

“ ……. ”

Something appeared to Yoon-suk who was dazed.

A colorful golden button filled with Ashton's suit was flashing with a brilliant glow.

Should I be happy about this? What should I do?

I don't know…….

I thought I had a lot to talk to him about.

* * *

Here's the situation.

Maybe when Fahrini came to see me the other day.

Ashton was angry at the fan club next door.

Why are we so uneasy when they support us so seriously and we are weaker than them?

That was the beginning.

Ashton decided to start with the U.S. Challenger Management. Before Yoon-seok Hana left, he left the Battleship 'Lin’ to change his plans.

Dream more than America.

“I was lucky. because there was a big crack in Russia. I was able to show the power of Yoon-suk to the world. ”

In Russia, several times the size of the Seoul Gate was cracked. And Ashton took the starship and wiped out the invaders immediately.

As a result, the astronomical damage was reduced to about a hundredth.

Ashton handed all the balls to Yoon-seok.

Of course, when I heard the news, the Saviors from all over the world started going crazy.

Ashton detonates the bomb before it cools down.

The bomb was nothing but a Fahrini.

- Most people think that other dimensions are primitive and barbaric, but they're not. They are stronger and wiser than we are.

The Earth is the most likely of the four dimensions of destruction. and using that to get the challengers off the face of the Earth.

Ashton even recently came to Yoon-suk and revealed to the public that he had pledged immense support.

From then on, it was fourteen thousand.

- Democracy, socialism, economics, morality, values, ideology. We need to put all this down for a moment. because we are living in the age of survival. We hope that leaders of each country will make the right decision.

Our aspiration for human survival. Hostility.

Such primitive emotions resulted in crowds.

I still have a long way to go, but in 10 days, I was recruited by a frozen group.

“Would you like to see for yourself? ”

After that, Yoon-suk quickly crossed over to the United States with the space movement of Taro Kitamura.

A building with a nameplate called the World Challenger Union was as big as a few football fields combined.

And above all, there was a new building.

Even if the organization was founded, it couldn't have been built like this in 10 days…….

“Oh, this is a building I've been building for years, trying to transfer headquarters from the API. ”

“It must have been hard to convince such a large company. ”

“You didn't have to convince me. He went bankrupt after he died a while ago. All I had to do was buy it for a cheap price. because nobody in this city is stupid enough to buy land. ”

I just died and went bankrupt...

Maybe it's because I feel meaningful.

“Take off your mask and go inside. You'll be too conspicuous. ”

Yoon-suk took off his mask by following the advice.

The public is more famous for their masked appearance, and most people who know their inner faces anyway.

“Ah, this is where the enchantment department goes. We will bring together challengers with the talents of craftsmanship and magic to support not only Yoon-suk, but many potential challengers. ”

Ashton walked into the building and showed me around. Some of them had already been completed and started functioning properly, and some of them were completely blank.

“This is the expedition department. Collecting rare items will allow us to buy them at a high price. We can't bring it to Earth like Yoon-suk, but there is a challenger who has the ability to meet in the square and hand over ownership. ”

Divide into different departments and climb the tower efficiently under the leadership of veteran challengers.

No, it's inappropriate to put the top up.

It's more like reaching the Carver Tower for war supplies.

That way, the building itself feels like a military barracks that were staying on a mission the other day.

“Will the Chinese superpower join us? Stop looking ahead and make your final offer fix. ”

While directing Yoon-suk, Ashton gave instructions like this to everyone he met.

Two bodies. No, three seemed busy enough. Is this really the right place?

If it were Yoon-suk, he wouldn't be able to do half of his work even if he had ten bodies.

I'm as confident as anyone in a fight and smash it.

Honestly, they're jammers.

“I'll take a slow look around the rest. ”

“Oh, would you? In fact, I want to stay, but I still have an important agenda... Call me whenever you need me. I'll be back as soon as I can. ”

“Yes, let's finish talking then. ”

“Then I'll give you Kitamura. ”

Yun-Seok and Kitamura watched the coalition of fast-paced challengers.

It was pretty amazing.

When he came up, it was all a fist bump, but he could be organized like this.

At the same time, I felt a bit bitter.

That's not why I couldn't do it because I didn't have the skills or abilities.

I was.

Tuck.

You slap someone on the shoulder while bruising for a moment.

She looked like she was in her mid-teens.

“Oh, I'm sorry. ”

Yoon-suk habitually read the magic.

According to the amount of magical power detected, it's about five floors in a duel.

I didn't see much else.

I just wish there were such a young challenger in the world.

Later, Yoon-suk was flawed.

I bumped into him? ’

No matter how much I think about it, it's a little strange.

bumping into someone while walking. It was once nothing new, but common sense in the past.

Yoon-suk hurriedly turned his back.

The challenger who was struck was walking slowly from a distance with no signs of any abnormalities.

Yoon-suk immediately blew up and blocked the way ahead.

And I looked at him as if he was tearing his whole body apart.

“… Why, what's wrong? ”

He shrugged his shoulders in a panic, and the feeling inside was normal.

So was it just this side that was sensitive?

“No, I think I know him. I'm sorry.”

Soon, Yoon-suk apologized and withdrew.

And the last time I looked at her face again,

My eyes began to blur.

‘Is it time already? ’

Yoon Suk, who had been a bit flawed for a while, was relaxed.

The timing was sophisticated, but this didn't happen because someone else did.

It's just time.

‘You must be human again. ’

To this end, everything I saw in the space that was reproduced in my mind was in my eyes.

- I feel sorry for you, but I hope you understand.

The first thing I saw was a woman.

He was in his early twenties.

Seeing the woman who looked strangely familiar, Yoon-suk in her previous life replied.

- Maybe this is better. You can only be used by him your whole life.

Sad and joyful strange emotions.

Unlike before, the atmosphere itself is splendid.

Yoon-suk thought, "Maybe this is the memory of Rick Gersei who's been waiting so long."

One thing that missed my prediction was that it was enough for a short while.

Phew!

A white dagger sticks to your chest.

Yoon-suk vomited blood and asked me one last time.

- Nickname.

— ……?

- I've always wondered, is your nickname just random?

Funny you should ask.

- She's thorough about everything. I knew there was a reason for the nickname.

—... then I'm sorry.

The woman who pulled out the dagger smiled bitterly.

- My mother loved grape jam. That's all.

Then Yoon-suk realized something new.

Memories before forgotten life.

- Goodbye, Yoon-suk.

This was not just about my previous life.
