Regressor Instruction Manual

Chapter 551: The Tutorial Will Begin (5)

“Hang on! Hang on! If we keep hanging on, we can get rid of all of them. Everyone, come back to your senses. You can do it if we continue to hold on. We are at an advantage!”

“Kieeeeeeeh!”

“Damn it! Fuck off! Fuck off! You bastards!”

“Ahhhhh!”

“Don’t back down! It’ll be your end if you show your back. Don’t break the formation! Don’t be sacred, you bastards, stab at them! You can do it! It’s easy! Easy!”

“Kieeeeeeeeh!”

“Raise your shields! Pig sh*t! Raise your shield!”

Pierce!

“My arm! My arm! Ahhhhhh! Help me! Help…Ahhhhhhh!”

“Don’t go to save him. Don’t leave your positions! Sh*t! I told you dumb fuckers to not break the formation!! We will only die if we get separated!”

Monsters completely surrounded the party in a small space. The place wasn’t that far, but I couldn’t see anyone else. I could only bite my lips upon witnessing the sheer number of monsters surrounding them.

It looked like they were resisting as much as they could, but the fact stood that they lacked the numbers. Monsters fell out, but the monsters called Starving Demons didn’t seem like their numbers were going to decrease any time soon.

“You fucking… frustrating bastards! Listen to me! You bastards! Ah, you, frustrating bastards!”

I had to raise my sword. I thought I had to charge from my ground, but my legs didn’t move. It was as if they had been frozen into place.

“Ah… ah…”

‘I will die.’

That meant, if I showed myself, I would die. If I screamed or the monsters noticed my presence, I would get killed.

I had almost died from just trying to fight two monsters. They were able to at least resist a bit because of their numbers, but I was alone on my end.

I didn’t have a shield to block attacks, and my body wasn’t in the best condition.

One of my legs was still limping because of the wound, and my left arm didn’t listen to me. I didn’t even have any strength left. If I fought in that state, it wouldn’t be that much different from suicide.

Even if the monsters in the back that were waiting for their turn ran to me, they still probably wouldn’t survive. I wouldn’t be of much help when my body would be ripped into pieces immediately upon joining the combat.

My breathing soon became rough, and my arms shook. I wanted to run out at that moment to help them. I needed to help. If I was human, it was the right thing for me to do.

‘I have to save them.’

I got help from them. I was only able to survive thanks to hyung. I had to help him. It was only thanks to him that I was able to escape from that hole. I had to save him too.

However…

‘I-It might not even be hyung.’

I personally thought the voice was a bit different. No, I couldn’t even remember how his voice sounded. In the first place, his voice was hoarse and impossible to tell.

It seemed his way of talking was similar, but there was a chance that the party fighting over there wasn’t hyung or his companions. I couldn’t even hear his voice properly because of the monsters’ shrieking.

My heart began to move toward them. I thought that I should stop self-justifying, that all I was doing was making excuses for myself, and even if he wasn’t hyung, it was only right for me to help them. But my feet didn’t move.

At that moment, one of the men, who was surrounded by monsters, met my eyes. I didn’t see his face clearly, but his eyes definitely met mine. It seemed like he was assured- like it would be alright at that moment.

‘I have to help.’

“He…Help…”

‘I can fight with them.’

“I-I…”

‘That’s the right thing to do. It was thanks to him that I could come all the way here.’

“I can also… fight…”

‘Fight with them, you stupid bastard!’

“Let’s fight… together.”

My body betrayed my mind.

My legs, which I had thought couldn’t move because of my injuries, moved faster than usual to run away from the place.

I thought I couldn’t fight because I was so tired, but I was already far away from that Hell before I knew it.

“Huff, huff, uh… stupid bastard…”

My breathing became rough, and blood sprouted out of the cloth wrapped around my leg, but my legs still didn’t stop.

“Kim Hyunsung, you stupid bastard! Coward, coward sh*t…urgh, you should just die. You should die, you bastard.”

The tears blurred my vision.

I didn’t know if it was from guilt or the relief that I survived, but tears continued to pour out of my eyes.

I was a foolish bastard. Coward bastard. I didn’t deserve to live. Even if I survived right then, I wouldn’t be able to move forward like that.

I turned away from the one person who helped me. Like the time I had hidden inside a cave, I betrayed my and other people’s expectations yet again. However, another part of myself said that it was fine then, and thanks to my actions, I was in a safe place.

It told me to go even further to survive, and if I survived one more time, I could continue that game. I didn’t stop. I was already far away, but I continued to move my feet forward.

I didn’t know the reason. But I couldn’t endure staying still.

It was at that moment when I saw a faint arrow drawn on the wall.

“Ah…”

There was the arrow that I couldn’t find.

“Ah…”

It was the same arrow that I saw when I got out of the cave.

It turned out that they didn’t forget him.

‘They’re waiting for me.’

They must have definitely thought I would get out of my cave and follow them.

Tears welled up in my eyes again. I bit my lips and clenched my sword again and couldn’t think of anything else. Before I realized it, I was heading back to Hell.

“Huff… huff…”

‘Please still be alive.’

“Huff… huff… huff…”

‘They’re probably still hanging on. Definitely. Please… please be alive.’

‘Please be alive. Please… please, I beg you.’

‘Please be alive. Please, I even turned back. I can fight with you guys now.’

Yes, that’s what I had to do.

‘You… you bastards! Bastards!!!”

I just flung around my sword.

‘Think.’

‘Don’t stab. Put some strength into your swings and slice the head off.’

‘I have to think.’

“Ahhhhhhh!”

“Kieeeeeeeh!”

I couldn’t stop my sword. I had to slice them in one go because the sword could get blocked or stuck. I shouldn’t worry about other matters. I just had to avoid and slice. It was an easy thing. I could see everything.

“You bastards! Bastards!! Hyung! Hyung!! I came. Just endure… endure for a bit!!!”

“Kieeeeh!”

All the monsters that were coming toward me, I could avoid them by moving a bit.

‘I can do this.’

I was faster and stronger.

‘It was all in my head. I knew how to swing, avoid, and block.’

It was easy to execute. I already knew, and I just had to transfer it to action. I just had to think it was a game. I should think of it as using a skill. Instead of moving my fingers, I was simply moving my body.

If a monster was coming from my left, I sliced its neck off with my sword. If one crawled toward me and aimed for my leg, I could take a step backward and avoid it. I kept moving so that my back wouldn’t get captured.

It wasn’t that hard. My reach was much longer, and whenever one came into my reach, I pierced the monster with my sword.

Blood splashed to my face, but I didn’t have time to wipe it off. My breathing became rough, but I continued to move. It was hard. I thought my heart was going to explode. Still, I forcefully screamed and endured the pain.

“Urghhhhh! You bastards! Come on! Come on! You bastards! You bastards! Hey! Hey! I’m here! Kim Hyunsung! Kim Hyunsung! Kim Hyunsung is here! Kim Hyunsung! 22 years old Kim Hyunsung is here! I can help you! I’ll help you!”

Sometimes, it didn’t happen like I thought it would. My grip wasn’t strong enough at times and stopped mid-air. With the legs I couldn’t move, I pushed the monster away and made a circle with my sword.

‘I can just stand here.’

“I am faster.”

“I am faster.”

“I am faster!!”

‘I think I can move even faster.’

“A bit faster! I am faster!”

‘If I did that, I won’t be able to think.’

“It doesn’t matter.”

I didn’t have to think. I swung my sword faster and faster. I didn’t even have to see what was happening.

[Agility increased by 1.]

I didn’t have to differentiate between things I could or couldn’t slice. Regardless if it was an arm or feet, I immediately sliced it if it was within my reach. I was faster anyway.

[Agility increased by 1.]

‘Let’s not decide the order. Avoid it, move the sword down, and don’t think about it. Let’s not think about how to swing. It’s already all in my head. If I think about it, I’ll be too late.’

I wanted someone to tell me where I should swing my sword, but it didn’t matter. All my attacks reached them anyway.

[Agility increased by 1.]

“You bastards! You bastards!!!”

[You acquired a new job.]

“Hyung! Hyung! Hyung!”

[Transfer from Common-Grade Warrior to Swordsman complete.]

“I am faster. I am faster!”

New information filled my head. My sword became sharper, and my movements became more precise.

My arms and feet were heavy. I couldn’t move them properly, but I moved my body again. I already felt more energized seeing the monsters decrease little by little.

The people who were fighting inside probably had the same feeling. They probably felt hope that the monsters’ numbers were decreasing. The only ones left were about ten monsters gathered in the center. Because they had been distracted there, I was able to move around more easily.

I felt like my lungs would come out of my mouth, but I swung my sword again. After I completely sliced the few that were left, I ran toward the center.

“Hyung! Hyung!! It’s me. I came to save you.”

It was tiresome to remove the monsters surrounding the monsters’ corpses.

“Hyung!”

But I didn’t hear a reply.

“Hyung…hyung!”

They were buried under the monsters’ bodies, and I saw corpses that were so ruined that I couldn’t even recognize them.

“Ah…… ahhhh… ahhh…”

They were abandoned and thrown away as if they were asking why I had left them and escaped alone.

The sobbing could be heard.

Why did I run away?

“I am sorry… Sorry… I am sorry…”

Why didn’t I have more courage?

The sobbing only continued.

Why did I even try to avoid it?

Tears kept dripping down my cheeks. I couldn’t recognize who was who, and who I was crying for. They all had become pieces of meat. I thought that they could perhaps be someone else, but…

“Ahhh…”

I burst out in tears upon finding the corpse of a man holding onto the bag that I had thrown out.

“Ughhhhh…”

-Let’s try to meet each other alive.

“Ughhhhh… I’m sorry… Sorry. I’m so sorry…”

-Join us if you want to.

“Ahhhhhhhhh! Ahhhhhhhhh!!!! *sob*…”

I didn’t hear any other voices.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”
