Chapter 7 – #03. Dwarf (1).

#03. Dwarf.

If only Dahee Yoo is a regressor, Dahee Yoo is the first person I met today from my point of view.
No matter how much we went through life and death together, I wonder if this is too much.

I tried to take it off, but it seems like it won’t work, so I ask him to take off his upper clothes right away.
He’s obviously trying to put on a mask and contrast it.

It was only a few hours ago, so hopefully it could take a while.
How can I avoid this difficulty?

The answer lies in the novel.
What kind of feeling did Dahee Yoo have the most difficulty with?
Remember.

Let’s go out shamelessly.
Just as Dahee Yoo said that she would never see me, I just have to treat Dahee Yoo like someone who will never see me.

It’s time to change the filter in your brain.

“… Dahee, too.”
“… Yeah?”

Screamed right away

“Dae-hee, think about it. Me and Dahee. We met for the first time today. But if you come in like this, what will I think?”
“…”

Yu Da-hee did not answer and listened to me calmly.
The words seemed to fill up to the tip of his chin, but he seemed to swallow them without hesitation.

I went out proudly.

“So you want to see my insides, right?”
“No, it’s not like that…”
“I understand. I know it’s hard to put into words. When I was in the army, all I had was time, so I only exercised. I just want to see you.”
“I’m not curious about that… !”

Dahee Yoo had a hard time with characters who were toxic assholes.
Especially the shameless characters who keep their own pace.

I said as I unzipped my combat uniform.

“What are you doing? Aren’t you taking it off?”
“No no no. Wait. Do you really want me to take off too?”
“Yes. Don’t you know when you want to kill someone you have to dig two graves for yourself? If you want to see someone else’s body, you have to show your own body too. It is gender equality.”
“…”

As I stared at her, Dahee Yu shook her head as if giving up.

“That’s Okay. I just don’t want to see it.”

One of my body is a terrible woman.
Maybe that’s why they’re chasing me.
Because I can’t stand it.

“Hmm, sorry.”
“What?”

I adjusted my clothes and headed toward Taecho Village.
Dahee Yu followed me in a fit of fuss.

At that time, the world was shaken.

[‘Return by Death’ is activated.]

An incomprehensible message came to mind.
When I turned around and looked at Yu Da-hee, I saw a large ax stuck in the back of her head.

“Kuh heh heh… The smell of blood, battle calls me!”

A troll laughed meanly and pulled an ax from Dahee Yu’s head.
That was the last scene, and I returned to the Colosseum in an instant.

─ Welcome. Players.

The fairy explains.
This is the fifth tutorial.

‘Fuck.’

Trolls are one of the greenskin races.
Goblins, orcs, trolls, ogres…
Among them, the regenerative ability is particularly outstanding.

‘Why didn’t I know?’

I didn’t notice the troll’s existence until it came up behind Yu Da-hee.
I don’t know if he hid his presence well or if I was an idiot.

I found Yu Da-hee in the distance.
Dahee Yoo stands with a blank expression.
It was a sad face.

I think it would be correct to say that he tried to return anyway.

‘Ah. It sucks.’

Can’t feel good
The feeling of returning to the other’s will is an upsetting experience no matter what happens.

At the end of the helper fairy’s words to catch the field boss, the players are granted freedom.
This is why when will I be able to catch the field boss?

‘Let’s go to a Korean party for now.’

While looking at Yu Da-hee, he waited for the lady in suit to come.
Thanks to the combat uniform of the Armed Forces, the suit girl picks it up first.

“Hey, hey…”

A suit girl approached, and I naturally joined the Korean party.
Dahee Yoo also joined.

We quickly went out of the Colosseum Square.
This time, Dahee Yoo gave me a hint.

Suspicion was still there, but not as blatantly as before.

“Don’t worry Dahee. I will protect you.”

Maybe that’s why, the anchovies started flirting with Yu Da-hee.
This was the same route as the first round.
Even the pigs have to participate in the battle for the first round of return…

“Dahee-chan is Mamoru Orega.”
“It’s good. Thank you.”

Also.
Dahee Yu accepted the anchovies and pigs with a grin.
What the hell are you thinking?

What are you going to do by replaying episode 1?

“… Let’s do some preparation with 1,000 coins.”

The Korean party that had reached the northern gate dispersed to prepare for the hunt.

“Dahee-chan, you can go with me.”
“Dahee, come with me.”

Pig on the right, anchovy on the left.
It’s spectacle.

When Yoo Da-hee sharpens her blade, she behaves like a normal person, and when she sharpens her blade, there is no such thing as an idiot from then on.

“I have somewhere else to go. Sorry.”

Yu Da-hee separated the two and went to prepare for hunting by herself.
I’m definitely going to ‘Brin’s Candy’.

‘It’s me, it’s nice to have time.’

I have something to do.

“What will Jinwoo do?”
“I also want to prepare separately.”

After getting rid of the suit girl, I bought a white mask.
I kept the white mask in my inventory.

‘I have to go get a skill now.’

The more you regress, the only thing left is your skills and stats.
Until the starting point is changed, the equipment or items do not disappear the moment they return.

There are all kinds of hidden pieces in the tutorial and the beginning village.
If you don’t know how to get it, you can only rely purely on luck.
Anyone can see that these were devices prepared for regressors.

‘Already had a bite.’

Let’s take another bite.

‘Where is this…’

Beginning village, somewhere near the north gate.
There is a church that is on the verge of collapse.

Kik-.

I pushed through the half-broken door.
A thin ray of light barely illuminated the inside of the church.

“…”

A priest who will soon die comes to pray every day.
He is the only one who comes to this church.

I naturally sat at a distance from him.
And quietly pretended to pray.

Inside the quiet church, the old priest’s rough breathing resonated.
Even though his life was short, he did not stop praying to ‘God’.

I don’t understand.
If you match roughly, you can take over a little divine power.
Rather than the feeling of being taken over, the feeling of picking up a little of the overflow is stronger.

“… Young people. Are you here to pray?”

The old priest finished his prayer and came to me.
I nodded slowly and looked at him.
I tried to make it feel as sincere as possible.

“Hehe, out of many churches, why go to this church?”
“It is meaningful because it is this church.”
“What do you mean?”

The old priest took an interest in my words.
I muttered as if reciting the words I had read in the novel.

“Because it is a lonely place where no one visits, prayers here have meaning. Because I pray here, this space gains value and breathes.”

A boy who was summoned from a dimension where a bleak future was embodied spoke according to his emotions.

“Hoo…”

The old priest feels a strange afterglow in the words and prays together.
The sincere man’s prayer had tremendous divine power, and the divine power that flowed from his body was absorbed into the boy’s body and became a skill.

[Obtain ‘Divine Power Lv.1’!]

‘OK.’

Divine power has weak restorative and strengthening properties.
Just by infusing it all over the body, the recovery and physical abilities that humans can have become stronger.
It’s only Lv. 1, so it won’t be noticeable right now, but if you build it up bit by bit, it will surely see the light someday.

“Somehow, it makes me feel at ease.”
“The more we pray together, the closer we get to God.”
“Is that so…”

FYI, I don’t believe in God.
You have to believe that the bastard ‘God’ who created the ‘Tower of Struggle’ exists to some extent.

“Then, let’s go first. My colleagues are waiting for you.”
“… I hope God is watching over you.”

The old priest said goodbye with a simple blessing.
I left the church and headed for the north gate.

“Shall we start?”

When we arrived at the North Gate, a Korean party had gathered.

“What is it?”
“This is it? Is it candy?”

Yoo Da-hee, who was messing around with powder-poop candy, averted my eyes.

“Is it candy? By the way, what’s the shape of the candy?”
“What does it look like?!”

I pressed the seizure button.
I ignored Dahee Yoo and followed the leader.

Hunted and hunted again.
This time, Dahee Yoo controlled properly.
If you try to go in too deep, it cuts off moderately.

Thanks to that, we were able to return safely after hunting.

“You worked hard.”
“Good job everyone.”

The Korean party is disbanded with this.

“Let’s meet at the north gate again around 8 o’clock tomorrow.”

We have decided on a place and time to meet.
It was a good feeling, so everyone happily promised the next meeting.

“Hmm. Dahee, if you have time, at least have a meal…”
“Dahee-chan.”

Anchovies and pigs courted endlessly.
Dahee Yoo laughs awkwardly and goes to eat with them…

“Jin-Woo will go with you too, right?”

He stopped going and called me.

“Me?”
“Yeah. Eat together Are you okay?”

Anchovies and pigs nodded their heads with trembling eyes.
While pretending to be cool.

It feels like a fucking tiring thing is about to explode…
