Reversion – regression, return, return.

“Master…even if it hurts…please hold on…“

“Cough…“

“There is no cure…! I’ll give you an anesthetic, so just wait…“

“It won’t be of any use…the master’s entire body is already broken…so even if I let it go now, the effect of the medicine will only be effective for 5 minutes…!“

“Still…! Uh…somehow…“

“Kwow…cough…cough…! Haa…let me…lay down…kids…“

“John…John name…! Come on…let me lay you down…! Here…!“

I was lying under the scarlet sunset.

A huge meteorite was falling from the sky.

“Hurry!!! Fire!!! Again!!!“

“It’s impossible!!! The magic of magicians is already…!“

“Shut up and do it!!! If it continues like this…!”

“Level 6 Awakened people from the United States and China have arrived!!! Please prepare to use the technique again!!!”

The awakened people and operators beyond the communication area were gathering their strength and performing their magic once again.

Towards the meteorite coming to destroy this world,

Regardless of gender or national origin, regardless of gender or age.

Everyone was working together to protect the world.

I fought the final battle to prevent the end of the world.

I was barely holding on to my life, which was almost completely extinguished.

The entire body was shattered, and only the completely broken body remained.

The world was being completely destroyed.

From the academy, to life as a hunter, to the time he was appointed commander.

And even the days of returning to the past and living again.

Comrades who have fought countless battles together,

I desperately ran around day after day to save the girls who had unfortunately left me.

Awakening ability as a Weapon Master and experiences accumulated so far.

The wisdom of knowing the game system and the hidden secrets I learned in advance.

An ancient god’s blessing that strengthens your skills when you build a relationship with children.

Lastly, the result of being with the children who believed in me and followed me until the end.

All citizens of Seoul were able to evacuate without injury.

We were able to easily subdue the giant monsters that came through the gate without any damage.

Not only that, but they all worked together to stop the invading demons,

I went into hell alone and defeated two level 7 apostles of destruction and love all by myself.

It’s already been 5 years and 6 months since I reincarnated here.

Even though it was a sin just to be alive, it gave me a warm light.

It is set in a fictional Korea, but unlike the world I was in, it is a space full of very warm people.

This is where I was able to smile brightly for the first time in my life, receiving so much love from the children I met.

It’s a pretty girl gacha game that I occasionally played before I died, but then quit.

At the same time, it was a place that became an irreplaceable world to me.

Unlike the days when even the tutorial could not proceed normally due to the Archangel’s conspiracy.

I was able to regain the awakening system, the gacha system, and the abilities that should have been mine originally.

They destroyed all religious denominations in advance and eradicated evil.

They recruited Xiao and other executives and faced each other’s true feelings.

I thought that if I had the abilities I wanted so much, I could save everyone.

I just hoped that everyone would be happy together, just simple happy days.

That kind of happiness was not granted to me until the end.

If they hadn’t always protected me, I wouldn’t have come this far.

In order to somehow protect them, I had no choice but to fight and swing my sword until the end, even if my whole body was broken.

‘But in the end, it was pointless…’

I sighed and leaned back against the broken concrete.

The wrists of both arms were tattered, with almost all of the tendons severed.

The right ankle had a protruding bone and was leaking blood.

All of the magic power has been used up, so the wounds can no longer be healed.

Resistance to the treatment medication developed and the wound could no longer heal.

I tried my best, but the result was a disappointing defeat.

Although he used all his might to defeat the Archangel and the Apostle of the God of Destruction.

What the God of Destruction said after that was nothing short of tragic.

In the end, the destruction of this world was only determined,

No matter how hard they tried, in the end, the other gods had no intention of changing that fate.

Only the ancient god of love, the master of this world, asked me to help him.

I tried my best, but there was nothing more I could do.

‘…In the end…is this the last chance…’

I groaned with difficulty and took out the red bullet contained in the necklace.

I sighed and carefully put it in my breast pocket.

All I could do was close my eyes and lean against the wall.

With a glimmer of hope, I thought that if I killed all the apostles, the meteorite would naturally stop.

The God of Destruction had no intention of changing his mind.

If I do not kill my loved ones according to her will,

As long as we don’t experience the same tragedy that the Asura I defeated suffered again.

It seemed inevitable that this world would eventually perish.

‘But…I…tried…and maybe…the final deal…the God of Preservation…may step in and help…’

Still, when I raised my sword for the last time, I felt like all my anger had melted away.

Turn your head like crazy and use your abilities,

When you awaken your core ability and imitate the children’s ultimate skills to give a blow to your enemies.

I just felt ecstatic due to the adrenaline spreading throughout my body.

But even then, the thought of never seeing them again made me feel lonely.

I thought that if we all faced it together at once, we would be able to overcome it this time.

The ideal picture in which the president is at the forefront and the country and people are united in the fight has finally been completed.

It felt like regret was washing over my lost dream.

All I could do was think that I did my best and look at my pitiful, already broken body.

That comet with the fate of destruction was already flying towards here at full speed.

“Seojin!!! Mr. Seojin!!!“

“Hey…here…Ro…Len…“

“Seo…Seojin…! Mr. Seojin!!!”

When I waved my hand, Lauren, who had been searching, quickly ran over to me and sat down.

Then he slowly placed his hands on my head and body.

She has long blonde hair and blue eyes.

Unlike that day, she looked intact and uninjured.

A face covered in blood, scorched by flames and with a folding shield down.

However, she was not injured, and her face was only covered with the blood of demons, not her own.

Nevertheless, she looked at me with a serious expression.

“Seo…Seojin…! What…my body…uh…what should I do…!”

“Thank you for continuing to visit, Lauren. I missed you… and… I’m so sorry…”

“Ah…no…! Don’t say anything…the bleeding and fractures are too severe…hurry…hurry…get the medicine…! Ah…no, first apply pressure with a bandage…”

She closed her eyes and placed her white hands on my body.

In the final battle, I ended up being fatally wounded by a red spear.

The pain was so extreme that an ordinary person would faint.

But just as she always served as a shield for me and my colleagues.

No matter how severe the pain was, I tried not to show it.

She noticed that blood was leaking from my forehead,

He immediately took out a bandage from his pocket and wrapped it around my forehead.

Her actions, which are not healing skills, would have no meaning.

I smiled and said quietly, ‘Thank you.’

“Please…It’ll be okay…I’m sure…“

“…It’s warm…Bandage…“

“My body…is so cold…Seojin…it’ll be okay…I’ll get a healer…as soon as possible…”

“Seojin!!!! Seojin Han!!! Answer me!!!!”

“Mr. Surt!!! Here!!! Seojin here!!!“

Thump—thump—!

As soon as Surt heard Lauren’s voice, he immediately ran towards me.

“Seo…Seojin…what the fuck…”

Black horns growing straight out of red hair.

Even though she was a dragon, she also clearly looked tired.

Holding the red Leviathan, she knelt next to me with a serious expression and held my hand.

“Seo… How is Jin? Ma…it doesn’t look very good…”

“Mr. Surt…Ugh…you…are…so hurt…if this goes on…Mr. Seojin…”

“Damn…damn!!!“

She hit the ground and looked up at the sky.

A dark curtain of black light was still hanging over the sky over Myeongdong.

This meant that Healer would not be able to reach Myeong-dong, which had already soared above the skies of Seoul.

Of course, just because the wound is healed.

Although it is not possible to prevent the destruction of this world.

“Seo… Seo Jin… just… hold on… somehow… we’ll stop it. The meteor… so… ”

“Su…Surt…C…Haa…“

My vision became completely white and blurred, and I could not see clearly.

I could just feel her bright red hair and the warm warmth through my hands.

I clenched my teeth, stood up, and tapped her shoulder.

“Lastly…I want to smoke just one cigarette…with Mr. Surt…“

“Well…yeah…? Then…don’t we…have to smoke a cigarette at the end…?“

Lauren looked back and forth between me and Surtur with tears in her eyes.

But in the end, he sighed and rested his head on my shoulder.

It meant acquiescence or permission.

Surt took out two menthol cigarettes from his arms and put them in his mouth, one at a time, with her.

When I lit it with a silver Zippo lighter, a cloud of white light flowed out of my mouth.

We watched the sunset in silence and started smoking our last cigarettes.

“Damn it… I struggled like this… but in the end… I guess I can’t stop the meteorite… ”

“Ugh… I thought I almost did it… I definitely did… but Seo-jin… his body… “

“…It hurts a lot…? Are you fine…? Please tell me it’s okay…please…Seojin…”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Surt. This happened because of me…”

She looked back at me, exhaling cigarette smoke.

And it felt like he was stroking my head and forcing a smile through his tears.

Although the hands are covered in scars, they are very warm.

My reliable older sister and supporter who always stayed by my side.

“If you had just asked me, I probably would have followed you to the end of hell. So don’t be too sorry… please… so… just stay alive… the meteorite… will… work out… somehow…”

“We were happy just being able to be with Seojin…but…you can’t leave like this…the bleeding has stopped…so stay focused…”

“Everyone…is the same as back then…this face…this place…cough…even my miserable tail…”

“Ugh…black…”

Gradually, my eyes started to get red.

If things continue like this, I feel like I’m going to cry

Trying not to cry, I raised my head and looked up at the sky.

“Commander!!! Commander!!!“

“Lapis!!! Here it is!!!“

“Commander…Commander…!!!“

By the time I finished smoking, Lapis was walking towards us.

The girl with short pink hair lost her footing and stumbled.

He almost fell several times, but eventually he started running towards me.

“Surtru…get me up…make me stand…“

“Mi…you crazy…no…! If you continue like this, you will get more injuries…“

“Please…I…have to…see Lapis…“

“Then…then…listen at the same time…one…two…three…!“

“Keuuu…!“

They slowly lifted me up and supported me with their shoulders.

She quickly ran towards me, and I spread my broken arms towards Lapis.

“Commander…my…body…“

“Lapis…come here…I’ll hug you…just like back then…“

“Huh…ji…commander…”

She was carefully placed in my arms.

For a moment, my vision became blurry and exhilarating pain flowed through my body.

I gritted my teeth and tried not to let out a moan as much as possible.

I didn’t want to make these kids cry until the last moment.

At least like that time, I didn’t want to show Lapis any more pain.

“Cough…Hello…Lapis. I…I’m back…”

“Commander…Commander…Ugh…I smell…smell of cigarettes…”

“Ahaha…on a day like this…you can just smoke a cigarette with Surtur, right?”

“Ugh…black…I thought I’d never see you again…do you know how scared I was…?! But…I’m so glad you came back…”

“…Sorry. Seojin wanted to smoke one…”

“Ugh…but what should we do…? I thought the meteorite had definitely stopped…but that…”

“…Seojin…we are now…”

“First…let’s sit down…kids…”

I laid Lapis’ head on my lap and looked up at the sky.

Was my brokenness too severe to even look at?

Even she, who always kept her calm, was crying and looking at my wounds.

If he had not succeeded in striking the final blow against the Archangel at the last moment.

Unless the God of Destruction got tired of my stubborn will and kicked me out.

There would never have been a chance to say hello to everyone together for the last time.

I couldn’t help but feel grateful just for being able to say hello to everyone.

Feeling the warmth of them stroking my head as the flame of life slowly goes out.

We are in a world that is falling apart.

He was breathing his last breath.
