episode_0009

My vision, which had turned completely white, gradually took shape and color and returned to being recognizable.

Now, it seems like we can even calculate the timing when the world changes into a recognizable form.

It’s natural.

I’ve already repeated this dozens of times, so how can I possibly not memorize this much?

While waiting for the timing to respawn, I thought about my future strategy.

I think I need to change my thinking a bit in order to survive in this situation.

Okay, let’s just think of it as playing a game.

Even though the first boss you meet is ridiculously strong, and the playable character is a piece of shit with no decent weapon, I’ll clear it somehow.

Even so, I have been a dedicated gamer for a long time.

Even if I don’t know what this shitty world is, I will definitely survive.

Before my form completely changed, I threw myself in the direction I had memorized.

Even though I was still blind, my body moved exactly as I thought.

Just bend down, lift the candlestick placed there, and then hit the wall!

I fell into self-absorption as I reached for the candlestick.

I could even feel ecstasy at the perfect movement without even a single error.

Now all you have to do is pick up the candlestick… … Candlestick… … what?

My hand, which tried to pick up the candlestick, could not hold anything.

It just stirred the air beside the bed with a pathetic movement.

What is this, why isn’t it there? You should be here!

there was nothing.

The candlestick that has been there ever since I woke up in this room.

The candlestick is proof of respawn and has now become a support for my heart!

“What are you doing now!”

An all-too-familiar voice was heard, as if replacing the familiar candlestick.

That voice is familiar, and therefore even more damning.

But why?

I looked back with a feeling of hope.

He is a knight, a man holding a sword and screaming loudly with a red face.

wait for a sec. How did this happen?

Nonsense.

I just opened my eyes. Why is the knight here?

Immediately after respawning, throw the candlestick to buy time until that idiot comes to the boss room, and then think about how to respond.

That was the routine so far, complete with numerous deaths.

But why! Is that bastard here now?!

“Could it be that they used some kind of wicked magic on me?”

I guess I’ve been thinking that way for too long.

The knight’s face turned red and he was standing in a state of embarrassment. Anger began to appear on his face.

The scariest face of a knight I’ve ever seen.

scary?

Yes, the knight’s face was scary.

Of course, I’ve never been attracted to that face before, but at least I’ve never felt as scared as I do now.

A face filled with the will to kill the other person.

It has a face like a demon.

“Stop! You weird witch. I will no longer be fooled by your wicked witchcraft!”

As always, the movements of the knight who approached me were like lightning.

But this time was a little different.

The knight’s hand flew in without me even realizing it and grabbed my collar.

It was a much rougher and crueler movement than usual.

“Keeek! Kek!”

I couldn’t breathe because of the pain that felt like my entire neck was being torn off.

The knight lifted my body high with just his right hand strangling my neck.

As the pressure on my face increased, I began to feel as if my eyes were going to pop out at any moment.

Oh, no. I can’t see anything.

What are you trying to do?

Didn’t they just cut off the head?

I, ah, haven’t done anything yet?

“The crime of daring to cast a spell on the Holy Knight of Light! Even death cannot repay you!”

The knight shouted like that in a frantic voice.

Why is this crazy bastard doing this!

I couldn’t breathe.

It’s endlessly painful and painful.

This is the second time I’ve experienced strangulation, but I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it.

However, the experience that I could not get used to had not even begun yet.

I felt something hot touch my neck, which was hidden from view by the knight’s hand.

The sharp sensation of something sharp cutting through soft skin.

At the same time as that eerie sensation, all strength began to drain from my body.

At first, I didn’t know the identity of that sensation.

Because it was a type of sensation that I had never experienced before in my life.

Then, the moment I saw the blood stains starting to splatter on the bedside, I realized it.

Oh, I see.

This crazy guy is cutting my body.

The knight was so angry that he was strangling my neck and cutting marks on my body.

With a tenacity and cruelty that could be called craftsmanship.

Although vision was blocked, hearing became more sensitive.

In the pitch-black world, only the cruel noise of flesh being cut and blood exploding could be heard.

what? What on earth are you doing?

It’s my body. This is the body I need to move.

It’s something precious to me that you shouldn’t mess with.

But why on earth are you doing this?

I don’t like it, stop it, don’t do it, die, really die.

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!

Every time the sword entered my body, my body convulsed greatly, but the knight’s firm hand holding my neck did not waver even slightly.

“Disappear, you fairy!”

After the knight’s loud shout, I felt something being driven deep into my body.

Only then did the knight release the hand that was holding his neck.

As his touch disappeared, my body fell to the cold floor.

The sensation of the floor touching my cheek is cold.

The unbearable cold has arrived.

Is it because the floor is cold? No, the undead body doesn’t feel the cold like this.

This terrible cold must be because all the blood has drained from my body.

Through my blurry vision, I saw a strangely shaped object sticking out from the center of my abdomen.

That might be… … It’s a knife.

The sword held by the knight.

It was my first time seeing it from this angle and like this, so the shape was very unfamiliar.

At the last moment, the knight seemed to have decided to use my body as a new-shaped sword holder.

That’s not all.

Elena’s pale and soft skin was no longer there.

Everything I could see was stained with a dizzying amount of red blood.

Flesh turned into rags, internal organs spilling out.

It feels like looking at a tattered piece of meat that has been handled incorrectly.

The biggest problem is that the meat is Elena’s body, that is, my body.

Is this really possible?

How can one person’s malice destroy another person’s body this much?

As soon as I became aware of the wound, an excruciating pain that felt as if my head was burning came over me.

There wasn’t even a scream.

The pain-relieving effect unique to the undead that I had depended on until now was of no use.

Excruciating pain, like being burned alive.

It’s hot, it’s extremely hot.

Save me, please save me.

No, I’d rather kill you quickly.

I don’t want to feel this pain anymore.

Kill me, please kill me, please please please!

With the extreme pain exceeding the threshold, my mind refused to accept any more new sensations.

The extreme pain felt in pure white nothingness.

I had seen it so many times that I was now familiar with it, and when it came, I felt welcomed.

Death was no longer an object of fear.

The world before my eyes turned white and disappeared.

“Gasp!”

I took a deep breath and quickly felt my body.

The afterglow of what I had just experienced still hadn’t gone away.

The horrible feeling of being torn alive and having your flesh ripped out.

“Wow! Oooh!”

He lowered his head and vomited loudly.

Of all the deaths I have ever experienced, it was the most horrible.

I have already experienced death where my tongue was cut off or my limbs were cut off.

However, I have never experienced the death of being cut into pieces while still alive.

The memory of my body being transformed into something similar to a still-living human anatomy has not disappeared.

Even though I was vomiting noisily, I kept massaging my body.

Pale, soft skin wearing only a thin layer of underwear.

Everything is glued together properly.

The flesh was not torn and the internal organs were not oozing out.

Nonetheless, the bloody memories still remained.

Just thinking about it made me feel like I was going crazy, so I forced myself to look away.

I looked around with trembling eyes.

I hope it doesn’t happen this time.

I’m not mentally ready yet.

Experiencing something like this once is enough.

But my expectations were once again cruelly trampled.

It was in the same spot as before.

The knight drew his sword with a red face.

In the midst of endless despair, I was able to be sure of one thing.

There’s no doubt about it, the respawn point has changed.

It was absurd.

What on earth is this?

Has this happened in games too?

No, it isn’t.

In the game, the respawn point was never automatically changed in this way.

So what on earth is this, is there a bug again?

Activated the unique skill [Princess’s Charm] for the first time.

The save point is automatically changed to the point when [Princess’s Charm] is activated.

This can be changed later through settings.

As if responding to my question, a suspicious message window popped up a little later.

I got angry.

So, what do you mean, I activated the princess’s charm or something and this shit happened?

Anger hot enough to overcome the pain surged up my throat.

Automatically changes the save point? Don’t be damned!

When changing something important like that, you need to at least get the consent of the person involved!

“What are you doing now!”

In the midst of my complaints, I heard the driver’s voice in my ears.

A line from a knight that has become all too familiar.

Fear came over me again.

Just looking at the sword the knight is holding reminds me of the terrible death just moments ago.

There is no doubt about it, not only the respawn location but also the form of death has changed.

The reason I was able to survive the countless deaths that have occurred so far is because of the clean form of death.

At least death by decapitation only feels short and clean pain.

But it’s different from now on.

The knight was standing there looking confused right now, but it was clear that once he came to his senses, he would literally tear himself to death.

But why do you do that?

I didn’t do anything.

But why is the knight’s behavior different from before?

I bit my nails from the overwhelming nervousness.

Blood started to ooze out due to excessive biting, but I didn’t pay any attention to it.

This cannot be done. If I continue like this, it is obvious that I will die miserably again.

I had to somehow find a way to make the knight drop that sword he was carrying.

‘Now that I think about it, what did you do earlier?’

I recalled the scene where the knight dropped his sword in front of me.

Immediately, a different sense of disgust came over me.

Yes, just now, someone who took control of my body seduced the knight.

She took off her clothes, seduced the knight, and charmed him into falling for Elena, causing the knight to disarm himself.

Suddenly I realized that I was wearing only thin underwear.

You said the save point was changed to right after the princess’s charm was activated.

So, is the knight now under the influence of the princess’s charm?

When I remembered that fact, I felt deep regret.

It would be better if the respawn timing was fixed at the point where the sword was dropped.

He must have picked up the sword and tried to attack the knight.

As I moved my gaze towards the knight’s sword with that thought in mind, something caught my eye.

This is the knight’s status window, something that had been forgotten for a while due to his shameful behavior and terrible death.

Name: Asmond Tendril

Race: Human

Gender: Male

Age: &*#$!

Status: $@#$^^$%^@$#%

Castle Wall: Mother Complex

Special Note: Fascinated by the unique skill [Princess’s Charm]. Charm progress 10%

I suddenly came to my senses.

There were still more characters in the status window that were broken and unrecognizable, as if there had been an error.

But among them, there was one phrase that particularly caught my eye.

Charm progress 10%

This is it!
