Relife Player 014

[Chapter 009]

[Changing future (2)]

It was darkness.

Fresh blood emanating a fishy smell at his feet.

It was difficult to recognize the shape of the shoe that had fallen into the puddle.

His hands were stained with dark red blood. Drops of uncongealed blood dripped from his fingertips into the puddle.

At that moment, Eunha realized.

This is karma. He said that he who had greeted his second life were the many lives that would pass by in the future.

So, I hesitated to take a step forward.

Because I thought I knew what was going to be at the end of the road along the waterway.

The premonition was not wrong.

From the point where the waterway ends, the corpses rise one by one.

As we progressed, the pool became shallower and the number of corpses increased.

At the place where I stopped, a ghastly scene was unfolding that seemed to make me turn my head reflexively.

A tower of corpses piled high into the sky to burn.

And the man who climbs the tower without looking back and wields his sword like crazy.

it was himself It was he who forced the people who followed him to sacrifice and killed everything in sight until the day he died.

Save me

,

save me, help me.

Desperation came from the faces of the eyeless dead.

kill it

why only you can do it again

Help us too!

Don’t just save yourself!

The corpses floating in the puddle rose one by one. Melted beyond recognition, they were approaching, intertwining with each other.

Even if he was ruined, there was no way he would not know the people he crossed the line of fire with.

shut up. tell me to turn off

He took a step backwards, shaking off the hands of the dead.

Then, anger appeared in the eyes of the ruins.

why.

why only you

what were we?

Why do you only want to be happy?

Were you such a kid?

Do you think you can live well alone?

angry sound. nervous tone.

Noisy. shut up be quiet

please turn it off!

too bad.

Were you such a kid?

How could you do this to us?

can’t you do any of that?

You don’t want a lot.

We’re not asking for anything difficult.

Just one.

yes just one

Save

me, help me

, save

me! Noisy!

He shouted as hard as he could, keeping his distance from the approaching dead.

what would i want to do

I want to save you guys too. I want to help. I want to save you!

But you know! What do you say to me! What more to do with the body of a child who is only 6 years old!

I’m overjoyed just to protect my family! It’s tight!

There is no such thing as the power to protect you guys!

it’s only now

you will be stronger

I’m not asking for a lot.

then help us

save me please

save me, there is only you

A voice of longing. A tone of rebuke for doing one’s duty.

I was short of breath and choked. A feeling more painful than death choked her breath.

It was heavy. body. It was so heavy that I couldn’t even look ahead.

what is heavy

You were carrying a burden heavier than this.

Are you sick of it now?

Why do you think only you are having a hard time?

We’re having a hard time too!

And we even gave our lives for you.

But can’t you do any of that?

You guys are asking me to live as a player one more time.

You’re asking me to walk that hard road again!

What is he talking about?

then? Did you think you could live a little more comfortably like everyone else?

sounds funny. dog sound.

wake up dream don’t even dream

Everyone else does, but you absolutely can’t.

Because you are < undead >.

Do you think your nature, which exists only by killing monsters, will stand still?

you are not even a person

you are a monster

yes monster.

monster.

monster.

Even if you go back in time, that won’t change.

The fact that you are a monster who is crazy about killing monsters until the moment you die at the expense of us.

…I don’t intend to be a player anymore. I’m happy with my family…

no. you can’t

can’t can’t Absolutely not.

Because you are < undead >.

So please.

Help us who liked us

Save us

who understood us

Save us who sacrificed us

Stop! Please stop. Sorry. I’m really sorry.

It’s hard though. I also want to rest now.

Me too… I want to live happily like everyone else.

It sucks.

don’t bullshit Unable to overcome the

invisible

pressure, he fell to his knees. Unable to overcome the

invisible

pressure, he hit his head.

selfish bastard.

Something invisible forced her head.

And———.

If you eat well and live well, that’s all, right?

Kung-

——The pressure is gone.

galaxy

…uh?

familiar voice.

I raised my head. I slowly raised myself from the half-submerged puddle.

The partner who entrusted his back there

is Lee Yoo-jeong?

He stood there with bloody tears flowing from sunken eyes.

Still don’t know why you came back to the past?

That’s right, brother.

And she, waiting for him to come back to life, stood there. Wearing an indescribably torn cloth.

…Ha Baek-ryun?

It’s something only my brother can do.

You guys…

please please

overlapping

voices as one.

I just wanted to turn my head. I wanted to cover my ears.

However, an invisible force prevented him from turning his head until the end.

─Save us.

☆

─Whoops!

It was a nightmare. As soon as I opened my eyes, Eunha jumped out of bed. He unconsciously put his hand to his chest and gasped for breath as much as he couldn’t inhale.

was it a dream

It was a dream I never wanted to have again. Frowning, he looked around the room.

Are you okay? It looks like it’s been pressed by scissors.

are you okay. Thanks for waking me up, Mom.

He’s true too.

My mother, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, reached out and wiped away the cold sweat.

Only then did he realize that his nightgown was soaking wet.

It’s family, of course. I also sweated a lot. Are you really okay? Aren’t you sick?

no. I’m okay. no pain anywhere

If you’re sick, you have to tell your mom. huh?

yea, I got it.

If you feign illness, will your mother give up going to see your grandmother?

no. You won’t. One of you will stay and try to take care of it.

Eunha shook her head at the sudden thought.

He unbuttoned his nightgown and looked for a calendar hanging on the wall.

May 4th.

That was the day. The day my family lost their lives. The day when only you survived.

Can I protect these people?

Do I have to tell you if I’m sick?

My mother gave it to me twice. Eunha nodded and answered instead.

I want to protect these people no matter what.

Even if there is a limit to defy fate.

Even if it means dedicating one body to another.

Mom will go get ready. Hurry up and get ready.

yea, I got it.

The Eunha family decided to leave around lunchtime.

It was because Eunha insisted that traffic would be congested even if she left early anyway. Behind the scenes, the intention was to delay the family encounter with the Kraken as much as possible.

I can’t remember exactly when the Kraken appeared. What I remember clearly is that the falling sun was caught on the iron bridge, creating a gradation.

Because the scene right before the world was covered in bubbles was so beautiful that it made me swear.

That’s why he delayed the departure time, aiming for the time when the sun completely sets.

I’m so sleepy…

Sister, close your eyes and don’t eat.

Ugh…

…sister.

In the morning, Eun-ah, who was weak, was eating breakfast while dozing off. With my eyes closed, the fork was a plate that only marked the bottom of the dish.

Still, it was better than pointing the air with chopsticks like my father.

Eun-ha, who ate breakfast, found a cutter knife and other blades in the room. Besides that, he secretly put a compass and scissors in his bag.

In order to subdue the monsters, they had to inflict physical damage or use weapons made of metal containing mana.

Unable to prepare for either, he chose a blade that could injure someone as the next best thing. I decided that if I coated it with mana, I would be able to inflict even a little damage on the monster.

I wanted to bring a kitchen knife, but Eun-ha didn’t even approach the kitchen to avoid her mother’s suspicion.

are you okay. Because I hadn’t thought about defeating the Kraken from the start.

Even just before death, it was absurd to defeat a monster that was difficult to defeat alone with the body of a child.

has only one purpose. It’s just delaying the encounter with the Kraken. As before the return, it is to buy as much time as possible before the Twelve appears and defeats the Kraken.

I didn’t know how many other people would die.

Save me,

the fragments of the nightmare passed by my ears.

Eun-ha shaved her head to forget the sound that penetrated her spine.

The appearance of the Kraken has a huge impact on the future. This is because mankind once again realizes the reality that they are not free from monsters, and those who survive choose to become players while burning their hatred for monsters.

It was also at this time that the number of players increased qualitatively.

The one who was called < Undead > too.

And the people who crossed the line with him.

Still, he averted his eyes, knowing what a painful time it would take for them to become players.

So please get out of my head

I won’t ask for forgiveness I’ll go to hell and die no matter what, so leave me alone.

Guys, let’s go now!

It seemed that my father had finished packing.

Time passed before I knew it, and it was 1:00 PM. If we leave now, we will be in the middle of Seongsandaegyo Bridge around 5:00.

just a little bit more

I was strangely anxious. I only heard negative thoughts.

Shall we run away like this? My parents won’t even be able to leave because they’re looking for me.

Eun-ha jumped off the veranda to avoid the eyes of her family. Although it was on the second floor, the mana-reinforced body did not receive any shock.

You have to take some time

If I ran away for nothing, something bigger than I thought could happen. So he hid himself in a suitable corner.

please. Anything more.

Eunha~!!

Noh Eunha~!!

He could hear his parents looking for him.

Eunha closed her eyes and plugged her ears.

pain. Now is the time to close your eyes from reality.

He, who was more accustomed to darkness than anyone else, did not know that he would hate even the darkness he could see when he closed his eyes.

No~eun~ha~!!

Eunha~!!

Eunha, let’s play~!!

scary. The reality that a young body has to handle.

The farther away the voice calling him, the more the voices of those who had died before rang in his ears.

this monster.

on the subject of monsters.

A voice mixed with resentment, a voice rebuking.

Everything weighed on him.

Like you said, I’m a monster.

A selfish monster who only thinks of me.

The monster that chose to kill you again.

I shouldn’t have hesitated. The people that small hands could save were limited, and the power to grasp with small hands was extremely lacking.

he wasn’t a hero He was just a selfish sinner.

So forgive me…

Why are you here? You’ve been looking for a long time!

The original voice fell and stopped.

voice is. A voice in the darkness forced me to open my eyes.

The wind was blowing. pleasant wind.

A bright smile like the sunlight that brightens the darkness was looking at him.

…sister.

what are you doing here You were looking for Mom and Dad.

Perhaps trying to act like an older sister, Eun-ah put her hand on his waist and tried to scold him.

Even so, it seemed to him that a 10-year-old child was acting like an adult.

Still, for some reason, I wanted to lean on it.

huh? where are you sick?

A sound I’ve heard many times since morning.

Eunha smiled bitterly and shook her head.

no.

Then why are you crying?

i don’t cry

You don’t know, but your sister does!

Why does my sister know a face I don’t even know?

Strangely enough, I couldn’t resist. He licked his lips, but in the end he had no choice but to nod.

Don’t you want to go see grandma?

no i don’t like it I don’t hate it…

but…?

If we go today, everyone will die! Everyone is dead except for me!

He barely held back the feeling that was about to rise. I don’t know

what you think of his reaction like that

.

what.

everything is fine

It was not a comforting sound at all.

Eun-ah doesn’t know. tragedy that will happen today.

Still, he hugged Eun-ah.

The memory of Eun-ah is still vague. The only thing he remembers is how she desperately hugged him, saying she would protect him even in the crashing car.

That was all she remembered about Eun-ah.

Still, I felt strangely reassured.

I’m looking for mom and dad. Let’s go!

Will mom and dad be scolded?

Then Eun-ah smiled and laughed,

then we can get scolded together.

It was a graceful speech.

Unknowingly, Eunha laughed and decided to apologize to her parents while holding her hand.

His mother hugged him silently. And

I was worried because

my father disappeared without a word!

hit the honey chestnut

Before and after returning, he was hit by his father for the first time.

…sorry.

Anyway… Where do I go? Dad and mom were worried.

Yes…

Then let’s get going. If I stay like this any longer, I won’t be able to go today.

Embarrassed, the father scratched the back of his head.

Eun-ah carefully checked Eun-ha to see if she had injured her head. Soon after, she blew the lump on his head and took him into the car.

The seating arrangement was not different even before the return.

That made him even more anxious…

Ehehe.

Eun-ah held her hand.

…it’s okay.

I did everything I could.

Even if the Kraken appears—.

Okay, let’s start! Go go go to Incheon!

Go go go~!!

—Even if it meant dying, I would definitely save my family.

And fate…

☆

─The fate was cruel enough to be no different from before the return.
