This was a different story from the original setting.
It could also be understood that in order to maintain the writing idea of this book, the dual settings of the abyss setting and the space-time singularity were adapted.
— — —
The setting sun was blood-red.
On a remote island in the Pacific Ocean, the tide that hit the shore back and forth had been stained by the scarlet that gathered from the beach.
In the sky, the seagulls that were still lingering around looked down at the island that had already become a land of death. They were constantly observing how the humans who brought death to this island were killing their own kind.
"Bang!"
A gunshot tore apart the island that had been stained with scarlet and shrouded in death.
"Get out of here! Reynold. Now, you still have time to turn back! "
The undisguised murderous aura, as well as the handgun held by the iron-like wrist, constantly reminded the young man, whose body was mostly dyed red by blood, not to take another step forward.
"Ah!"
A scream of pain rang out.
It was made by a pretty girl with long brown hair.
The girl, who was almost driven to the edge of collapse by the bloody scene of corpses in front of her, screamed in pain.
"Let me go! Let me go! Why did you bring me here!! I can't do what you said at all!! Let me out of here! "
"Shut up!"
Facing the muzzle of the gun, the young man still pulled without fear. The girl, whose hair was pulled by the young man, suddenly felt pain.
"Let her go! Reynold! This device is not for you to use at all! Why are you so stubborn!! "
Standing on the corpse of his comrade, the middle-aged man, who was almost the last guardian of this island, shouted loudly.
However, his shout did not have the desired effect.
Perhaps, from the beginning, his voice would not have played any role at all.
Because, from the beginning, the young man's mind had already been decided.
Since that night, the taboo he witnessed.
Since that time, he was pushed away by his mother.
In the young man's heart, perhaps he had already made up his mind.
Until today, the young man, who had exhausted all means and did not hesitate to dye his hands red, finally came in front of the device he knew.
For this reason, he sacrificed everything he had, and also burned all his subordinates, power, and wealth, in order to stand in front of this device and then send the girl, who had been controlled by it, to it.
Activate the device.
Fulfill his wish.
Now, before completing this step, he still needed to clear the last obstacle.
"What a joke! Lieutenant Colonel Kalinin, I didn't expect that my last enemy would be you. Why didn't you accept my invitation? Logically speaking, to a certain extent, you and I are the same. This world is so ugly, so dirty. Why do you still stand in front of me? "
The youth's left hand pulled the innocent girl's hair, while his right hand slowly raised the pistol, firmly pointing it at the middle-aged man called Kalinin.
"Reset the world? Haha. What a beautiful wish! However, after thinking about it carefully, I realized that humans are creatures that live in the present. Whether it was the past or the future, most people's attention was focused on the present. Even the child I hope for should live in the present. "
The middle-aged man's index finger slightly tightened, and his sharp eyes stared at the young man in front of him, who was Reynold.
"The child you hope for? Is it that young soldier called Xiangliang Sosuke? Haha. What a pity. In the surprise attack just now, he and my Fallen Angel perished together. "
The young man, who was called omniscient by his subordinates, said everything he knew with a smile. Then, the young man once again sent out an invitation.
"Lieutenant Colonel Kalinin. I am very sorry for Xiangliang Sosuke's death! But isn't there an opportunity in front of you now? As long as you get out of the way, after I send this woman to the device, everything will start again. And the dead Xiangliang Sosuke will stand in front of you again. "
Reynold's voice was like a devil's whisper, constantly ringing in Kalinin's ears.
"Bang!"
Kalinin fired.
The whistling bullet didn't hit Reynold. Instead, it brushed past the feet of the poor girl under Reynold's control and fell into the pool of scarlet, splashing the girl's clothes red.
"Reynold. I've said it. I'm not interested in your plan. Moreover, even if the world is reset like you said, it's still not enough. But, in that reset world, you will still exist. At that time, if you're still not satisfied, do you have to reset it again? "
Kalinin's words made Reynold stunned.
In fact, Reynold had never thought of what Kalinin had just said. He had never thought of it.
All he knew was to find a suitable whisperer, then take the device from Mithril and reset the world. But what would happen after the world was reset?
Reynold really didn't think about it carefully.
Perhaps, in Reynold's heart, there was only a trace of beautiful light left in his life that was almost extinguished in the illusory reset world.
"Hmph, hmph, hmph, hahahahaha!!"
Reynold laughed.
He really laughed.
This was not a laugh of anger.
Instead, it was a carefree laughter after being reminded and coming to a sudden realization.
"I really regret it! Lieutenant Colonel Kalinin. If only you could have said these words to me earlier. Maybe I wouldn't have made these mistakes. "
Reynold's words made Kalinin stunned.
However,
The next second,
A gunshot rang out.
"Bang!"
It was Reynold's pistol that fired.
At the moment when Kalinin's mind was disturbed by Reynold's words, Reynold fired without hesitation.
The moment the red flower that symbolized Kalinin's last life bloomed, it meant that no one was blocking Reynold's path anymore.
"Re … Reynold! You'll regret it! "
Kalinin, who had been fighting with his last breath against Reynold, struggled to take his last breath.
"Maybe! Lieutenant Colonel Kalinin! I hope you and I can be good friends in the new world! "
Finally clearing all obstacles, the youth strode forward, resolutely and coldly stepping on the dark red that drowned the ground, dragging the girl who had lost all ability to resist and will to the device — the device that was said to be able to reset the world.
"Go! Complete the mission that you have been living since you were born! "
The moment the girl's body completely disappeared into the device, the world in front of Reynold's eyes turned white, and all the sound was gone, leaving only an indescribable silence.
When the sound returned to Reynold's ears again,
When the color appeared in front of Reynold's eyes again,
Reynold's consciousness gradually returned, and everything in front of him was in his eyes.
"This …"
The furnishings in front of him were so strange yet familiar, but Reynold was able to call out the names of the furniture placed in front of him in the next moment, and skillfully find the toys hidden under the table.
"This … I'm back?"
This was a memory that Reynold had almost forgotten.
This was the room where Reynold lived when he was a child.
Moreover, Reynold, who was standing in front of the mirror, saw the young face.
That was him when he was a child.
Looking around, frantically looking for the calendar and the alarm clock, and after comparing the time with the days, Reynold sat by the bed, looking at the familiar room with surprise and disbelief.
"I … Am I really back? A new world? "
Although Reynold had vowed to reset the world before, after the world was really reset, Reynold was somewhat at a loss.
"Ding dong! Ding dong!"
Just as Reynold quietly destroyed everything in front of him, a loud bell rang.
The bell kept echoing in the room, awakening the light in Reynold's eyes. When Reynold's eyes became completely bright, Reynold suddenly jumped up from the bed.
"Oh no! Mom! "
In the sound of the bell, Reynold was deeply hurt by the memory that he had almost forgotten.
Yes!
It was today!
In the depths of his memory, Reynold, who was a child, bumped into his mother's taboo mistake today.
This was also the mistake that affected Reynold's life and led to Reynold's tragic life.
Without any thoughts, Reynold, who just followed his instincts, pushed open the door and ran toward his mother's room.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! "
However, just as Reynold was about to walk down the stairs, he suddenly stopped.
"If you are still not satisfied with the world after the reset, what will you do? Do you want to reset it again? "
Kalinin's words sounded in Reynold's mind inexplicably.
In an instant, an inexplicable fear firmly controlled Reynold's limbs, making him unable to take even a step forward.
Even though Reynold was a ruthless and ruthless person who would sacrifice everything to achieve his goals before the world was successfully reset, when he was faced with this world that was very likely to have been successfully reset, and when he was about to see his mother again, Reynold's instincts of cowardice were awakened.
Once,
Once,
Again, and again,
Kalinin's words were like a magic spell that kept ringing in Reynold's ears.
Reynold's limbs were like lead, and he could not move at all.
"Click!"
Suddenly, while Reynold was sweating profusely and struggling constantly, the door on the first floor opened.
Someone is coming!
Is it that person?
The person who made Mom make a mistake?
The person who caused the destruction of Reynold's family?
When the figure that Reynold resented gradually became clear in Reynold's mind, a ball of anger suddenly controlled Reynold's limbs and made him unable to move, and he could no longer control Reynold's body.
"Dong Dong Dong Dong!"
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem The rapid footsteps were Reynold's anxiety and fury.
However, when Reynold, who rushed to the first floor like the wind, saw the figure who opened the door clearly, he was surprised to find that the person standing outside the door was not the figure that he had resented for a long time in his memory, but the figure standing in front of him again.
Mother,
And his twin sister, Teresa.
"Ah! Reynold, you're awake! "Seeing Reynold suddenly rush to the first floor, the woman holding Teresa's hand cried out in surprise. Then, she pondered for a moment, and then smiled.
"Reynold, you're just in time. Why don't we go shopping together? We don't have much food at home. Can you do Mom a favor? "
Everything that happened in front of him had deviated from Reynold's memory.
And this deviation also made Reynold unable to react in time. Driven by instinct, his mother held his hand and left the house with his sister, Teresa, and walked towards the supermarket not far away.
"Brother. Here you are! "
In a daze, a lollipop appeared in front of Reynold's eyes.
It was Teresa.
The twin sister smiled and waved the lollipop in her hand.
"Here you are! Brother. This is Teresa's last lollipop. I'll give it to you. It's delicious! "
Reynold, who subconsciously took the lollipop from Teresa's hand, just nodded, and then lowered his head to look at the lollipop in his hand. A trace of warmth quietly flowed through Reynold's heart.
"Different …"
"Completely different …"
"This world is really reset!!"
In his memory, Teresa had never given him a lollipop, but now Teresa gave him a lollipop.
These changes made Reynold's spirit gradually excited.
After giving so much, he finally succeeded.
"The world! It's reset! "
Feeling the warmth in his mother's hand, Reynold's cold heart quietly began to melt.
"Be careful!!!"
At this moment, an ear-piercing braking sound suddenly tore through the noise of the street, and it even brought screams of fear to Reynold's ears.
Rising into the air.
That was what Reynold felt at this moment.
Then …
In the sight of flying high in the air …
Reynold saw his mother, who was holding Teresa tightly with both hands, being hit hard by a truck that came out of nowhere.
Then, there was a whirl of dizziness, and the sharp pain of falling heavily on the cold ground.
However, these didn't affect Reynold's thinking and actions.
Reynold, who was holding the lollipop given by Teresa tightly in his right hand, crawled up from the ground and rushed crazily to his mother and Teresa, who were knocked more than 20 meters away.
"Mom!!"
That cry from the bottom of his heart finally broke through Reynold's throat and resounded in this world.
However, the woman who should have smiled in return for this fell in a pool of blood, leaving only a man who used his last strength to point at his sister, who was in his arms but was also soaked in blood.
"No!!"
The ambulance came, but his mother and sister left.
The world was reset!
The young man was so sure in his heart!
However, his mother still left!
"If you're still not satisfied with the world after the reset, what will you do? Do you want to reset it again? "
In the red and blue lights of the ambulance, the eyes that had just been melted by warmth were once again shrouded in darkness and covered by coldness.
"Reset again!! No matter how many times, I will successfully reset the world I want. "
The young man looked to the east, as if he was going to cross endless time and space to look at the mysterious device that was about to be placed on a certain island by those people.
Until the young man crossed a long, long time, so long that he had forgotten, and broke through one obstacle after another, so many obstacles that even he couldn't remember.
Finally, one day, during the long journey, the young man, who had stopped for a while, sat on a beach, and looked at the man and the cat walking toward him. He got up and smiled, welcoming them.
"Welcome! Knight from another world! "
