by fnovelpia⊙︎ Past life string.
You access records from a world that doesn’t exist. You can check the past life records of the desired target.
I opened my eyes wide again.
Accessing the previous world.
Checking someone’s records.
This is an explanation that cannot help but be surprising.
If this is true, there is no need to guess someone based on uncertain memories.
Because you can look into your past life. What kind of life did that person live?
Kuuul~
I looked to the side for a moment.
Unlike me, who met Artrot in my dream, Ronica is sleeping peacefully.
‘… Should I try it?’
If I understand correctly… .
Is it possible to get a glimpse into what kind of life Ronica lived in her past life?
You won’t know unless you try it.
I used the skill on Ronica, who was sleeping comfortably.
Tiring~
◎︎ The past life string is connected to Ronica.
◎︎ Your real time is frozen.
My vision suddenly changed.
No, it felt like my mind had just moved somewhere.
◎︎ World GA7U8 access.
Before I knew it… .
“Papa, pua~”
I saw little baby Ronika.
Ronica, placed in a soft leather basket, was picked up by someone who appeared to be a knight and stretched out her hand here and there with a face full of curiosity.
The driver silently entered a rural village.
… This is a place I know.
This is the rural village where I first met Ronica.
‘This is Ronica’s past… .’
So is this knight Rauf’s subordinate?
I followed the article.
The driver seemed to already have a destination and knocked on the door of a house on the outskirts of town.
Tuk-tuk.
Then he left the basket in front of the door and disappeared.
“Who are you?”
“Oh my? What a kid.”
The door opened and a man and woman appeared.
A trash father and an ordinary country woman.
However, the man at this time was younger than expected and had a likable appearance, full of enthusiasm and will.
The driver was secretly watching the two’s movements from an unseen place, and the two were embarrassed and lifted Ronica up.
The basket contained gold coins and several jewels along with a note.
[Please raise this child like your own.]
“What should I do about this?… .”
“What can I do? I can’t just leave it like this.”
The two brought Ronica into the house.
The knight who watched the scene smiled at having completed his mission safely and left the village.
That’s how Ronica became someone else’s child.
There was nothing bad.
It was peaceful.
The couple, who did not have children, raised Ronica with utmost care and she grew up lacking nothing.
The enormous wealth that came with it.
The only child of a wealthy family.
Ronica often smiled brightly.
Occasionally, red eyes secretly watched Ronica.
It was peaceful like that for about 7 years.
but… .
The man started going back and forth between the cities, saying he would buy groceries and hear about the country.
It was repeated several times.
How many weeks have passed?
The man came back dressed in shabby clothes.
It is said that he inadvertently gambled with the money the driver gave him and squandered it.
This was the beginning of misfortune.
The man drank alcohol.
When his wife tried to stop him, he swore.
It gradually began to become a daily routine.
At times like that, Ronica burst into tears in her room, and my wife began to change, feeling skeptical about the strained relationship between the couple.
The time to take care of Ronica is getting shorter.
Common emotional expressions also decreased.
There were quite a few times when it was cold.
One month like that.
Is it because I don’t have money?
Is it because it has changed?
The couple fought every chance they got.
My father, who was drunk, did not hesitate to stab himself with a knife, and my wife would secretly break alcohol bottles.
The family is becoming increasingly distant.
Ronica spends more time alone.
And one day.
The wife seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and a big fight broke out. She attacked him, shouting all kinds of curses, and the husband was embarrassed, but quickly became angry and pushed his wife hard.
Quadang!!
My wife fell and hit her head accidentally.
The corner of the table happened to be where he fell. A blood vessel in his brain may have ruptured, and he died in vain.
The man was greatly shocked by this.
Because I had no intention of killing him.
At this time, young Ronika witnessed the scene while visiting and went out to the village and cried, screaming that her father had killed her mother.
Therefore, the man had no choice but to cover his mouth.
By using violence.
Be quiet.
Don’t make a fuss.
When villagers asked, I spoke calmly.
He said his wife fell and died. He said he was sad too. The child was also shocked.
The villagers did not trust young Ronika.
Because he was originally sincere, the man’s image in the village was not that bad. Therefore, most people thought that Ronica had gone crazy from shock.
I was ignored.
I was assaulted in the name of discipline.
No one saved me or believed in me.
It was from this time.
The reason why Ronika hid her feelings was.
After the incident, my father became even more drunk and distorted. Since I had no money, I began to think of Ronika as a burden rather than my own child.
When he drank, he became violent.
He did not hesitate to take out his anger on Ronica.
Whenever I brought up my mother, violence was brought up.
Another few years passed like that.
Ronika left the village and lived in the forest from morning until night.
Knowing that it would be good to be with his father, he gathered fruits and herbs and brought them to the villagers in exchange for food.
The village people praise it for being amazing.
Still, I was worried about the wounds on my body.
What happened?
Did you fall in the forest?
Ronika didn’t tell the truth.
Because if I say something wrong and it reaches my father’s ears, I’m sure I’ll get hit again.
They won’t believe you, and even if they do, it’s obvious that they will all retreat under the excuse of discipline.
This isn’t the first time this has happened.
So I laughed.
Although everyone was resentful, they smiled and exchanged food to survive.
The bigger the head.
I hid my heart more and more deeply.
Is it because of that?
“Dad, you’re an idiot~ You can’t do anything without alcohol. Vee~”
I started talking to myself a lot.
The guy who entered the forest comforted himself by saying what he wanted to say.
Even though I was crying, I forced myself to smile.
The guy who was alone tried to smile.
As if you would be really happy if you smiled.
Such a life continued for another few years, hopelessly unchanged.
12 years old.
Before I knew it, I had grown so tall.
This is what it looked like when I first saw it.
Old and tattered clothes.
Torn shoes.
Even crying alone under a tree.
The boy was growing up alone.
I stretched out my hand, but
My hand passed through the guy.
Originally, you would have met me around this time.
… I couldn’t comfort him now.
Time continues to pass.
Rebel against your father.
Save up an emergency fund on your own.
A long time passed before I woke up, consoled myself, and cried.
A side of Ronika I don’t know.
I guess I’m about 16 now.
He grew up again.
Puberty has arrived.
I still talk to myself and smile, but there was something strange about this day.
Didn’t laugh once.
I didn’t even go out to the forest.
As if obeying his father, he brought food and served drinks.
Did he succumb to his father’s violence the day before?
Are you frustrated that your emergency fund was discovered and taken away?
Was it because of sexual harassment that told her to hug me now that she was all grown up?
Or maybe it was because I was inadvertently muttering to myself that I wanted to kill him.
Is it because he realized his own feelings?
Probably everyone.
As always, Ronica hid her true feelings.
treated more hospitably.
My father was surprised by the sudden change in attitude, but he was so distracted by the delicious food and alcohol that he just ignored it.
The alcohol was mixed with sleeping pills.
It became the man’s last supper.
Wow~
Garbage father fell asleep on the table.
A loud snore rang out.
Okay.
She took out a kitchen knife.
The last act of filial piety has ended.
Ronica, with eyes that were anything but childlike, quickly grabbed a knife.
Deep!!
Blood splattered.
Afterwards, the suppressed sadness and crying broke out.
The house continued to echo with a girl’s frantic screams and the sounds of someone chopping something with a knife.
How long has it been like that?
Tuk.
The kitchen knife fell.
Tears welled up in front of the piece of meat.
The girl covered in blood was shaking, then changed her clothes and came out carrying the backpack she had prepared in advance.
Sze-
I lit the match.
Grumbling.
The house was on fire.
Ronika bowed to the burning house.
The guy said his final goodbye and disappeared, saying that he would be happy in heaven as well.
*
Ronika left town.
I packed my bags, headed to the city without the villagers knowing, and settled into a random inn.
After wandering around for a few days, I found a job greeting customers at a market, but the store owner often took my money away.
However, I didn’t say anything.
This is because I know that the reality is that other places are no different, or that it is impossible to even find a job.
Above all… .
Compared to my trash father, it was bearable.
I tried to adapt to the harsh city life.
How many weeks have passed like that?
I heard the news that the village I originally lived in was destroyed.
I didn’t care.
A place without any good memories.
It was none of my business whether it disappeared or not.
But then a rumor spread that the prophecy had begun in a distant place.
At this time, as the prophecy of destruction spread, various skyrockets continued. The city’s security worsened, the lord’s business failed, and slum organizations began to flourish.
The slum organization crawled out into the sun, and the incompetent lord declared war on crime and hid in a villa in another province to enjoy a feast.
Ronica was also caught up in the commotion.
I happened to commit murder with a kitchen knife.
This is because the bakery lady who was the only person who looked upon him kindly was treated cruelly by a slum gang member.
So, I had to run away.
I had to immigrate to another safe city.
He was chased by a slum gang and ran all the way out of town.
However, he fell due to his strength and was about to be caught by a slum gang member… .
Ronica’s fingertips collided with someone’s foot.
Death Knight Rauf.
“How dare you… .”
Sigh!-
He cut down the gang members with a single sword.
And then he lifted up Ronica, who had fallen.
“… … Daughter.”
“… who… … .”
“Do you hate them?”
Red eye glow.
A sudden encounter.
Ronika was scared.
My whole body was trembling.
however… .
Is there really a need to be scared?
The scariest thing is actually humans.
Even living is so painful.
I’d rather die.
When I realized that, my trembling subsided.
Therefore, in response to Rauf’s question, which seemed to contain some vagueness, I inadvertently revealed my inner feelings, which I had never discussed before.
“… I wish I were dead. entire… .”
Red eyes flashed.
It shook violently.
Rauf was very angry about this situation.
I’ve already lost half my senses.
Hearing Ronika’s muttering as if she had given up on everything, Rauf decided to grant his daughter’s wish.
Hang a pendant around your neck.
After putting my hand on my head.
“… I will go.”
I turned around and drew my sword.
Just like that, Rauf disappeared somewhere in the city.
Ronica stared blankly at the back and left the city. For some reason, she couldn’t take her steps and looked at the city from afar.
all night long.
I watched quietly.
The screaming continued.
The city was dyed black and red.
Many people died painfully.
‘Strange feeling.’
So, I kept waiting.
Many people were dying, but I wasn’t sad.
More than that, I was worried about the skeleton that had gone to the city.
This is because I felt an inexplicable warmth from the Death Knight’s angry appearance.
However, no matter how Death Knight was, he was not strong enough to destroy the city by himself. Heroes staying in the city and famous mercenaries joined in, and even the lord’s army attacked.
Nevertheless, Rauf risked his life and fought against the city alone.
Like a fool.
The city was almost destroyed, but in return, Rauf’s magical core was shattered and he left the city with only bones left before collapse.
All the armor is torn off.
The red eye light fades.
He was on the verge of death.
A body that is not centered.
Rauf turned to his daughter, who was still waiting.
The red eye light is gradually fading away.
Ronica faced those eyes.
It wasn’t scary.
Even without any conversation, the two began to approach each other.
But before they reach each other.
Thud, thud.
Degurrr.
Rauf’s whole body collapsed.
The separated skeleton rolled over and stopped at Ronika’s feet.
“Ah… … .”
dead.
Ronica’s heart became a little darker when she guessed that fact.
The reason was unknown.
Everything started to turn black.
He regretted his words. I shouldn’t have been allowed to go to the city. Out of a sense of vengeance, he killed the person who looked favorably on him.
Strangely, my vision kept getting blurry.
It’s not raining, but water drops are falling.
Water droplets fell only around the skull’s eyes.
I just hated everything.
The feeling of skepticism about whether there was any good in living like this was starting to eat away at my spirit.
At such times, the pendant glowed.
Soon, a soul body appeared in front of me.
A woman with a cold expression.
[It’s you.]
“… … ?”
Lord of Necropolis.
She looked at Ronika coldly, as if she was looking after her on the side of the road, and then quickly disappeared.
It’s just like the emotionless look I know.
And soon the sky over the city where Rauf died began to turn red. A huge black palm came down from the red sky and crushed the city, destroying it.
A land stained with fraud.
The undead poured out.
On this day, the city disappeared from the map.
It didn’t end here. The undead army advanced to the capital.
‘… ‘Why is this happening?’
Ronica made an unknown expression.
An unknown ghost appeared, raised an undead army, and then disappeared.
Did he take revenge on me?
but… That was it.
Even though I waited here for something, nothing more happened.
What happens when the people you resent die?
Rauf is dead.
The place to live has been ruined.
Nothing had changed for me.
There was nothing left nearby.
In the end, the guy who was staring blankly at the destroyed city walked blindly to a place where no one was around. While holding Rauf’s skull.
climbed the mountain
At some point, the laughter stopped.
didn’t eat anything
Empty mind.
I realized that there is nothing good about life.
I sat at the edge of a cliff with a good view of the moon and spent some quiet time holding the skull.
Beautiful full moon.
But it doesn’t catch the eye.
The sun and moon changed several times.
My body is becoming increasingly dry.
It has lost its vitality.
A few days passed and he didn’t do anything.
Eyes out of focus.
Dry lips.
I plan to starve to death like this.
I just waited aloofly for death.
Fighting… .
The skull he was holding fell.
I didn’t even have the strength left to lift it again.
The time of death is near.
Die.
Die.
Die.
My body shakes uncontrollably.
Accepting death.
At that moment, his focus miraculously came together.
Anti-light.
The guy’s mind became surprisingly clear.
“… who is this?… … .”
Have you seen the Grim Reaper?
She looked ahead.
At the end of that gaze was me.
“Why are you looking at me like that?… … .”
A dry, cracked voice calls me.
Do you see me?
If so, I want to comfort you.
I want to tell you not to give up on life.
I wanted to help him smile again.
I held out my hand to her.
Ronika also gave me a hard hand-
Tiring!
◎︎ The past life string is broken.
My vision is scattered.
“eggplant… mind… … .”
As they left Ronika dying, their outstretched hands brushed against each other.
The world itself becomes distant.
I can’t do it.
It can’t go on like this.
◎︎ You are disconnected from the world.
Pot.
“ Kyayaahiah !!!! ◦ ◦ ◦
Returned to reality.
I disappeared, leaving Ronica alone, starving to death like a mummy.
I looked hastily ahead.
Ronika, who had been dry and dying just moments ago, was nowhere to be seen, and the slightly younger Ronika was sleeping with a frustrated expression.
“Keu… Black guy… … Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
The guy opens his eyes.
I looked at him blankly.
“Huh?… Black guy?… … .”
“… … … .”
“Why, why are you crying?… ”
Am I crying?
I don’t know.
I could feel Ronika’s feelings right before she died.
Emptiness.
I felt sad.
Come on~
“Don’t cry… When a nigger cries, even I get weirded out… … 녅.”
The mane gets slightly wet.
I really don’t know.
Am I crying?
Is he crying?
We stayed like that for a while and then went back to sleep.
This time I had a different dream.
A dream of running around with Ronica.
A dream as bright as a child.
…
…
Tiring~
