Chapter 1
[Regression]
It is said that when a man dies, he sees his past life as a lampshade.
Inevitably, everyone is equal before death.
It is indeed kind of death to show us the mories we want to repeat over and over again, and the mories we dont want to recall, without discrimination.
Humanity, which cries out for equality so much, can only be equal in death.
So die, humanity, for the equality you so long for does not exist in this world.
You woke up Eunha, its mom.
Our Eunha is awake! its Daddy, Eunha!
Ah.
So this is a dream.
His parents were killed in a monster attack when he was six years old, so its not surprising that he rembers them so vividly when hes been focused on killing monsters ever since.
Life is really miserable.
He picked up a sword to avenge his familys deaths, only to find himself killing monsters and not rembering why he was fighting.
Maybe hed been hoping for this ever since.
What can I do? Eunha isnt responding to ! Minjis dad says she squeals with joy whenever she sees his face, but why is he just staring blankly at ? Is he sick?
Youre so insensitive. You cant talk to a child like that.
Did my parents really love
this much?
I wish this mont would pass.
If I stay like this, Ill look back on the rest of my life and feel like Im being torn apart.
Undead, who cant die even if he dies.
Hes lost people he cares about, been rejected and betrayed by people he cares about.
He couldnt wait to see the rest of his life and say goodbye to this disgusting world.
Bye.
But sothing was wrong.
No matter how much I wished and prayed, the scene didnt change.
Surely theyre not telling
to just look back like this?
Its nonsense.
Then all thats left is to sit still and watch a movie.
A movie with a running ti of 32 years, a story with no dreams and no hope?
Are they telling
to eat sweet potatoes again?
I cant even move like this.
Huh?
Oh, did you want to hold your moms hand?
Son, Im sad. I still have ten fingers, look!
A mother and father who are separated by only one finger.
He couldnt figure out why they were arguing about sothing so trivial.
That wasnt the problem.
He was holding his mothers fingers, his will.
Or so he thought.
The sensation was too vivid for a junior.
He was free to move his hands and stumble on his feet, not just to stare at the past without doing anything.
What is this. If Im not dead, this is-.
Im confused, he had to admit.
I dont know whether to laugh or cry. I had lived to die, and though I regretted that I wanted to live a little more at the end, I was still hoping to die.
I didnt die.
Rather, I was reborn again as one-year-old No Eunha instead.
Reborn? I was reborn as ?
Its a bit of a stretch to say that.
If I had to say it, its like this.
Huh?
Back to the past?
It seed ridiculous at first, but I couldnt deny the possibility.
This world is imbued with mana.
Every living thing has mana in its heart. The primal force that makes the heart beat, the mont it manifests outside the body, it interferes with the laws of the world.
It is magic, the manifestation of mana in the world based on human imagination.
It is a miracle that makes the impossible possible.
Across his many limbs, he had experienced such a sight many tis.
A man on the verge of death, miraculously brought back to life. People who were dead beca the Living Dead.
So the fact that he had returned to the past could not be dismissed as impossible.
The only question is how he beca the object of a miracle.
Without any foreshadowing.
No foreshadowing?
You finally see your dad, do you want to hug him, huh, do you want to hug ?
When he turned his head, his father was smiling broadly.
Unable to speak, he settled for burrowing into his mothers arms.
Father had a look on his face like he had fallen from heaven to hell in an instant, but I didnt know what was going on.
There was a precedent.
The Abyss Dungeon.
Didnt Yoojeong shout that she would save him at the very depths of the dungeon?
With a skill set that rivaled the Twelve, it wasnt surprising that she had reversed ti.
After all, she had been causing outrageous phenona.
If a miracle happened where she could go back to the past just before her death, there was no one else but her who could create a miracle there.
But that was a problem to be considered later.
There was an urgent matter to attend to.
Thats right.
Ugh.
He had an itchy butt now.
With all due respect to his mother, he could only hold it in so long.
What? No way.
Finally, he couldnt hold it in anymore, and just pooped..
What a disgrace to be born again and have to go through this.
It was a natural physiological phenonon as a baby, but he couldnt take it so lightly.
I want to die.
Right now.
Can you get
so diapers and wipes, and so powder?
Okay!
His mothers judgnt was quick. She laid him down on the bed and deftly undid his diaper.
By the ti he counted the stains on the ceiling, they were all taken care of.
And his sense of sha hit rock bottom
Now you feel better, right?
My mother smiled benevolently.
I dont rember much, but my mother always seed to be smiling.
He looks just like you.
And what about you? You have the sa eyes and wrinkles, she teased.
And his father, who, in his mory, was quite a dignified man, but I think I need to revise that. Back then, his father looked reliable and mature, but his actions were that of a child.
Still, he was his father. His cheerful and lovable personality hadnt changed.
I was back.
I never thought I would see my parents again.
Especially not as a newborn baby.
Whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, I didnt know at the mont.
The only thing I could be sure of was that
this life was different.
is different.
One hell of a life was enough.
So this life must be
Oh, no.
Slowly, sleepiness crept in.
Youre tired, sleep well.
He felt like he was lting.
It was as if those words were ant for the him before he was reborn
He closed his eyes, feeling the sensation of relaxation for the first ti in a long ti.
He must
not give in to the miserable reality, no matter what.
