Regressing with the King’s Power - Chapter 588

Episode 588 [Part 2, Episode 4]

Choi Na-young, the school nurse at Konkuk High School.

At the age of 26, she was an A-level awakened person with healing skills.

In modern society, you can live a well-respected life just by being born with recovery-related skills.

A woman like that is spending her time at school receiving a generous salary?

It was something that many people were puzzled by, but not many people knew the inside story.

‘It’s been a while since I’ve been here.’

Taehyun entered the annex and headed to the nurse’s office where Nayoung Choi was without delay.

Whenever Taehyun, who looked like his younger brother, came to the nurse’s office after getting caught in a fight, he really cared about him.

Therefore, Taehyun remembers being sad when she died due to the gate break that occurred a few days later.

Of course, that also happened in the first life.

After the first regression, Tae-hyun prevented Gate Break and we heard that she overcame her trauma about her brother and went to work for the Players Association.

And now.

Grumble.

Taehyun opened the door to the nurse’s office without knocking and let himself in.

“Taehyun? “What are you doing at this time?”

“Whoa… it’s heavy.”

dump.

“What the hell is this…”

Choi Na-young stammered as she watched Tae-hyun carrying Bae Hyuk-soo and laying him down on the cot.

“I was the only one who fell on the roof.”

“….”

Choi Na-young is not naive enough to believe those words literally.?

but.

“Taehyun, are you okay…?”

What came back was not a question to find out the truth, but concern.

“I rolled alone. Will I get hurt?”

She worked at a military base for a short time before becoming a school nurse.

This was a bruise.

Traces of a beating carried out ignoring the opponent’s resistance.

Bae Hyuk-soo, who is infamous on campus, is a victim?

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t picture Taehyun beating up someone without even realizing his skills.

‘Could it be that you pushed it down the stairs? No, even if that were the case, this wound….’

After a while, she shook her head.

Even if there was an incident, it is clear whose side to take.

Choi Na-young focused on Bae Hyuk-soo’s condition, which seemed immediately critical, rather than the substance of the incident.

Meanwhile.

‘This is more serious than I thought.’

Taehyun’s expression darkened as he sat down on another cot.

What I asked Bae Hyuk-soo about was T.O.P.

However, he did not hear the full answer because he fainted.

There were still a few more questions left.

Taehyun looked at Nayoung Choi, who had just finished contacting the university hospital.

“teacher. “I’m talking about the tower.”

“tower?”

“yes. That thing you see outside. “I hurt my head a little while ago, but I don’t really remember.”

Upon hearing that Taehyun was injured, Choi Na-young rushed over to check on Tae-hyeon’s condition.

Naturally, there were no injuries.

“Oh, there is no trauma, my memory is just a little blurry.”

“okay?”

“yes.”

Grinning.

Taehyun smiled kindly.

‘Did he have such a bright personality?’

I even thought about that for a moment.

“Why the tower?”

“Hyuksu said that to enter the Abyss, you have to go through the tower. “Is this true?”

Nayoung Choi’s face suddenly darkened.

“Taehyun. Are you… are you really okay? “If it’s a symptom of short-term memory loss…”

Taehyun, who tried to calm Choi Nayoung down for the next few minutes, was unintentionally diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

“Sir… now can I tell you when the tower was built?”

“Well… I think I read in a book that it has been built since BC…”

‘BC?!!’

To that extent, it is safe to say that it has been with human history. Even if something goes wrong, something is very wrong.

“Isn’t it built by a dwarf named Tolkien?”

“Tolkien…? “Who is that again?”

Judging by the reaction, it seemed like it was my first time hearing the name.

‘It’s clear you don’t know about Tolkien. As expected… the timeline is twisted.’

In the past, even with a presence at the level of an archduke, it was impossible to enter and leave Middle Earth without permission.

A few speculations have emerged, but it is still too early to say anything.

“I heard that even non-awakened people can awaken by entering the tower. Is that true?”

“There are rumors like that… You’re not planning on going in there, are you?”

“That can’t be right.”

Contrary to the answer.

‘I’ll have to go into the tower to understand the situation.’

It was more than two hours later that an ambulance from the university hospital took Bae Hyuk-soo away and Tae-hyun came out of the nurse’s office.

* * *

Messy items and posters of players stuck to the wall.

“I never thought a day like this would come again.”

Taehyun threw himself onto the bed that filled the narrow room.

This is the room I stayed in when I lived with my aunt and her wife.

Because it was not cleaned properly, settled dust rose up.

In my first life, it was a tearful place that symbolized poverty.

In his second life, it was a symbolic place to escape poverty.

Now, in my third life, it was a place that only made me feel memories.

I thought I would become a constellation and never come back.

“You really went back again.”

Even if they are low-level constellations, the majority of them are forced to go outside because the universe they come from cannot handle their existence.

Is that why?

Among the constellations, there were not many who counted time.

Taehyeon also received the nickname ‘Predator of the Three Thousand Worlds’ and lived a life forgetting time as he fought the war of constellations.

I don’t know, but I can only guess that tens of thousands of years have passed on Earth.

‘I thought so.’

I never thought the day would come when I would lie down on my bed again in a mortal body like this.

Is it because it has a mortal body rather than a transcendental body as a constellation?

Or is it because I was relegated to my weakest moment?

I am filled with complex emotions that are difficult to pin down.

Taehyun didn’t hate that feeling for no reason.

‘You must not forget the purpose of coming here.’

I lay down in bed and summarized the information I heard from Bae Hyuk-soo and Choi Na-young.

‘Entering the tower without any preparation is suicidal.’

The lower world.

To get to the place that people know as the Abyss, you have to pass through the tower.

Unlike the previous episode where it was possible to move to the gate, it was a simple yet difficult method.

‘The good news is that towers don’t only exist in New Korea.’

It exists all over the world and has the same shape no matter where you look.

Currently, each country’s players’ association manages the tower, and a minimum entry ticket seemed to be accepted as a player license.

Compared to before, when gate breaks occurred frequently, stability has improved.

To obtain more detailed information, it was necessary to contact the officials of the association or guild.

“He is an executive who can provide meaningful information…”

The first things that came to mind were Night Walker guild leader Yoo Ah-young and Players Association president Ji Jin-hee.

Those whom Taehyun trusted and entrusted his back to, both in the past and now.

If you contact them, you will be able to quickly acquire information about the tower.

As is known to the public, if the tower is connected to the Abyss and non-awakened people can awaken just by entering the tower.

“The clue to unlocking the seal of predation may also be there.”

When you think like that.

I heard someone coming into the house.

‘Is it Jaeyoung?’

Hwang Jae-young, the only son of his aunt and his wife.

While trying to hang out with the gangsters in a circle called Backcross, he was caught by Taehyun and was rehabilitated to live a new life.

By the time Taehyun became the King of the Underworld, he had shown remarkable growth as an A-level player.

Meeting Jaeyoung was as expected.

“hey. “Should I just stop worrying and go on my way?”

“ah. “Can’t you hear me telling you to fuck off?”

“who is this?”

“Oh, you don’t have to worry, brothers. “He’s just a cousin who lives in my house.”

“Ah, the loser who couldn’t even awaken?”

“hey. Jaeyoung’s cousin. “What did you just say?”

“Hey Kim Taehyun! Are you crazy?”

“So you’re saying it’s okay to beat up this guy?”

I had time to retrain faster than before.

After warming up against the gangsters, I had Jaeyoung take a few bottles of low-level potions made by Alchemist.

It happened in just one day.

“Jaeyoung, listen carefully to what your aunt says.”

“Uh… yes….”

“Why are you being polite in an awkward way?”

“Uh huh….”

“Shit. You can do better, so don’t go astray. “I’ll tell my uncle that I won’t be coming back for a while.”

“Where…?”

“Entering the tower.”

“uh…?”

Jaeyoung reacted blankly and left the house, leaving the guy behind.

* * *

Taehyun looked up at the tower built in front of the square.

‘big.’

A tower that can be seen from anywhere in New Korea and looks the same everywhere.

In the past, it had a similar function to the one Taehyun requested from Tolkien before starting the racial war against Sanggye.

The difference is that the times are mixed and they appeared simultaneously all over the world.

After returning, I gathered information on my own for a day, but there was a limit to the amount of information beyond that.

‘Is the entrance over there?’

Jaeyoung heard that everything seemed the same everywhere, but Seoul City Hall Plaza seemed to be the only place in New Korea where one could enter the pagoda.

Without wasting time, I approached the two men guarding the entrance.

‘The tower is managed by the Players’ Association.’

In other words, the men in front of me were probably players belonging to the association.

“What business do you have?”

A man holding a long spear that seemed to be a guard weapon asked.

“I want a standing tower.”

Taehyun made eye contact and answered.

An expression of searching was evident on the two men’s faces.

“Please take off your hat and present your license.”

Magical power overflowed from the guards’ windows.

The energy of those who seemed to be at the D level rose to B level.

‘Is it a magic tool?’

Taehyun laughed as he checked the Alchemist mark engraved on the window sill.

This is because he is much more advanced than the level of Alchemist he remembers.

But that wasn’t the important thing.

“If you don’t have a license, you can’t enter the tower.”

It is a passageway to another world managed by the association.

If it had passed easily, it would have been just as disappointing.

Crack. Wow.

Taehyun relaxed without answering.

“Hey what are you doing?”

The guard’s voice became cold.

“I’m sorry. “I don’t have a license, but I have to go in.”

Taehyun’s answer also changed briefly.

“You’re still a child, so don’t play around…”

“How are you, President Ji Jin-hee?”

“what…?”

This is the moment when the man is about to react to something.

New Korean ancient martial arts first form. Taebaek.

Kwasik.

The blade of the hand swung upward from below and struck the man’s spear pole, sending it flying.

This is the moment when the embarrassed man tries to use his skill.

Wow.

Taehyun’s fist first touched the man’s abdomen.

dump.

One player fell from one blow.

“This is crazy…!! “You damn mine…”

Before another man could shout something.

Developing the first form of ancient Chinese martial arts.

Sssss.

Taehyun’s fist touched the man’s solar plexus as he stepped on his foot.

and.

Quang.

The second man fell to the ground.

The man looked at the magic tool he had missed. A reverberation of magical power remained in the handle where the guild mark was located.

“I don’t know if the guild leader is doing well.”

Alchemist guild leader Seo Sang-ik.

He thought of a man he had a relationship with in the past who helped him a lot in his career as a player.

Taehyun grabbed the spear of the second fallen man.

Although I am not the type to rely on magic tools, I believe that something is better than nothing when you have to fight with limited power like now.

I looked down at the two fallen players.

Now I see that the Alchemist symbol is engraved on the gloves and shoes.

‘The world has become so much better.’

Taehyun took the magic tools out of their bodies one by one.

If anyone else saw this, they would think they were committing a robbery against the players of the association.

‘I feel like I’m a demon.’

How did he, who was called the protector of humanity and hunted demons, end up like this?

“Is there anything else?”

In this life, not only the fate of New Korea but also the fate of the Three Heavenly Worlds is at stake.

Even if we use somewhat hard-line methods, we must move quickly.

Taehyun sighed and brought the spear to the door he was guarding.

Pibit- Chiik-.

The door installed in the tower opened with an unfamiliar mechanical sound.

Beyond the door, I could see a crack in the space that was being suppressed by a mechanical device.

‘gate.’

This crack is the true entrance to the tower.

There was no need to hesitate.

“let’s go.”

The second day of the second regression.

Taehyun stepped into the entrance to another world.
