Chapter 1
[This is not it]
Regression.
An imagination that everyone has at least once in their lives. A story about
going back to the past, correcting wrong choices,
changing bad endings into happy endings, and
using information from the future to grab wealth and fame.
There was a time when I too dreamed of returning.
When times were so difficult that I thought it would be better to die, I often imagined that.
But I don’t imagine that now.
I am 40 this year.
I survived through all the hardships.
When I was 18, my world turned upside down when Earth and other dimensions were connected.
At the age of 20, he awakened as a superhuman and began fighting against monsters of different races.
Hunting mission battle war.
There were many times when I almost died or became an idiot.
Honestly, I had no talent.
In a movie, its role is to fill in the number of characters in a war scene.
Extras who have no effect on the flow of the play.
In order to survive, I had to persevere tenaciously.
I had to become selfish, cowardly, and cruel.
To make up for his lack of talent, he trained to death and
even worked as a miser to save money.
In the end, I survived.
I paid off all the debt I owed when I was young and
built several buildings on the yolk land.
The 150 pyeong mansion, which began construction three years ago, has also been completed.
I am confident that this is a fairly successful life.
Now I was thinking of retiring and resting comfortably.
Because I was guaranteed a perfect retirement.
But…
“…this isn’t it.”
I muttered absentmindedly, but the reality before my eyes did not change.
Musty smell. A room without windows.
A narrow bed that can barely accommodate one person.
This is the gosiwon where I lived 20 years ago.
“…This isn’t real, is it?”
No matter how many times I close and open my eyes, the background is the same.
Even if I pinch my forearm, it still hurts badly.
why? how?
No, more than that, anger begins to rise from deep within my heart.
“Sir…”
Regressing means that everything I worked hard to achieve over the past 20 years has disappeared.
I jumped up from my seat and shouted.
“Holy shit!! If you’re going to do it, do it quickly!”
I regressed.
There was nothing worse in the world than this.
