Chapter 1 – Trollers
#001.
Suddenly, Gaon’s eyes opened.
“… ?”
See the forest
A forest full of greenery. The clear air seeping in through the nose fills the lungs.
But there was something else that caught Gaon’s attention. In the meantime, it was a thin, transparent window floating in the air.
『Welcome to the Unified Dimension Union.』
Welcome phrase.
Those who were dragged in without reason would have a lot of trouble, but on the other hand, it was a sentence that could be a little reassuring.
However, what followed was a problem.
『Survive for one month.』
Survive.
That was it.
Katabuta, without any explanation, just threw it into the forest, and the unknown guy just told me to survive and disappeared.
… Then a new window pops up.
───
Name: vacation
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Unique Ability: Indomitable
───
It was a status window.
There was brief information about himself.
Before losing consciousness, the endlessly listed status windows were nowhere to be found, with only one unique ability.
I can’t help but feel shabby.
“Really… Is it a regression?”
Past life. No, at the time of my previous life. Gaon stumbled upon a ruin while wandering in an unexplored land.
At the end of that, an unknown sphere of light existed in the Foundation, and was sent to the past the moment it was touched.
Naturally, after gaining some strength, he went to check the place again, and Gaon was able to find an empty foundation unlike before returning.
That’s why he thought there would be no more chances… I don’t know what happened.
When Gaon was so alone in his thoughts, the people who had been brought to the same place raised their voices in confusion and bewilderment.
“What is this!”
“Where are you!”
Even though I look at the status window and tilt my head, I am wary of the people around me and look for someone who can explain the current situation.
Of course, such a person cannot exist.
It is possible to explain Gaon, who has entered the third round, but they do not know that.
‘I had a time like that too…’
It’s a strange feeling.
It’s like the old people in the game feel like they’re watching newbies? A complex feeling that cannot be expressed in words.
It was a completely different feeling from the second round.
At that time, as soon as I recovered from the joy of returning, I turned off my nerves from them. I thought it wouldn’t help, so I was full of thoughts about what to do in the future, so I didn’t think about getting along.
I thought about how to become stronger, and if there were people here who would get in my way.
Now… It was slightly different.
The very fact that there were people with whom we could share our opinions and communicate with each other made us feel joy in the depths of our hearts. It didn’t look like they were having a conversation, but just watching one-sidedly, but I feel like I’m crying.
‘This is not the time.’
I watched them in a daze and suddenly came to my senses.
We need to set a direction for the future.
In his previous life, he lived a selfish life due to the compulsion to become stronger, but now he has no intention of doing so.
No matter how talented and lacking Gaon was, the 20 years passed gave him a starting line different from others.
In addition, I think that the tenacity that has been rotten in its own way during the years when all life has died and I have been alone has been corrected to some extent.
The proof was the unique ability I saw earlier.
『Indomitability – As you reach your limit, all your physical abilities increase.』
It was a very simple, yet versatile ability that could be used at any time.
In the 1st playthrough, I got the dog trash skill called Watching, and in the 2nd playthrough, I got the ability to grant a little regenerative ability called tough vitality.
It’s not certain, but when we hypothesize based on the data accumulated so far, it is said that the ability given to a person when he first comes to this world is related to what he has done in his life.
If so, wouldn’t the skill of indomitability be a kind of reward for Gaon’s enduring suicidal impulses over the past five years?
It is different from before, and there is room for rehabilitation to some extent, can’t you see it that way?
… I want to believe that.
“Second, bachelor! Do you know anything Where are you!”
“I don’t know either. Do you know what you were doing before you came here? It seems that everyone should start by exchanging information. My name is Minjun Kim.”
The reason why he alone survived in his previous life is clear.
Self-eating.
As a result of monopolizing all giyeon regardless of this and that, all powers except for Gaon were weakened.
Thanks to that, they couldn’t handle the invaders of the dimension, and they all died one by one.
Gaon had to protect them, but his bloated power, which he could not handle himself, often swept away all of his friends and enemies alike.
In the end, he had no choice but to watch them die one by one, and when he was able to control his strength to some extent, it was after everyone except him had died.
Most of all, even after doing that, he couldn’t kill the Dimension Eater in the end. It meant not being alone. It’s only possible with the help of others to make sure he’s taken down.
‘You can do it.’
This world, the Unified Dimensional Union, is a place where races of all dimensions gather. That’s why the population is more than the earth, and there are so many geniuses.
In his previous life, he cut off the possibility of the world by cutting off the buds in advance if he thought it would be a little intrusive, or intercepting the opportunity to unleash his potential, but he will not do that anymore.
Rather, if he supports them with this knowledge of the future he has, he will achieve a higher level than in his previous life. If you give them opportunities that match their talents in the right place, their power will skyrocket.
Of course, I have no intention of sharing all the opportunities and remaining as an old man in the back room.
Even in this world, there are evil people, and among them, there are plenty of people who would rather die than live.
Among the abilities they have, there are some that are suitable for Gaon, so you can choose to have them for yourself or share them with others who will be helpful.
A plan began to take shape in my head.
‘This works.’
When Gaon was alone in his own world, the rest of the party shared their voices with each other and gathered in one place to share their opinions.
“First of all, everyone must have seen something like a strange window. The spear that was told to survive for a month.”
“Bachelor! So what do you want to say?”
The man who introduced himself as Kim Min-joon glanced at the woman with two or three tires wrapped around her waist, then raised her finger and poked her into the air as if clicking something.
Susu- tang!
Then, something like a black hole opened in the air, and a sword fell inside.
“Oops!”
“Hey, what the hell is this!”
While everyone was frightened by the suddenly revealed weapon, the perpetrator carefully held the sword and explained.
“Won’t everyone please call the status window? There will be something like a gift-shaped icon in the corner. You can summon a weapon there.”
At Kim Min-jun’s words, everyone stared blankly into the air to see if the status window was being summoned. Then, as if he had squeezed it, he let out an exclamation and carefully touched the air.
Along with that, there was a hole like before, and various weapons fell inside.
Swords, spears, shields, maces. Etc… Threatening, but now more reassuring than ever, weapons filled the clearing where they gathered.
They held their own weapons with bright expressions, but their faces soon turned black. Because there is only one reason to give these weapons.
At that time, when everyone was wary of the surroundings and terrified, Kim Min-jun calmly walked to one side and tapped the air.
Tong! Tong! The translucent dome that had melted into the air with the sound of a clatter revealed a clear outline.
“As everyone can see, this area is blocked. It’s fine right now.”
“Are you really okay? Get out of the way!”
At the words of Kim Min-jun, the anchovy man stepped out.
Anchovy Nam turned his head slightly and looked at the two women except for Mrs. Tire.
I don’t like this situation where all the attention is focused only on Kim Min-joon.
Anchovy Nam passed by Kim Min-jun and swung the sword in his hand in a clumsy trajectory and hit the dome.
Caang!
“Ahh!”
However, the dome did not move due to such an attack, and the repulsive force returned to the anchovy man’s arm.
Screaming in stabbing pain, he let go of his sword.
Seeing this, the faces of the women who had been expecting for a very short time darkened.
The Anchovy Man’s attack was meaningless.
It would have been rather fortunate if it had been the development.
At the same time as the dome was attacked, a number came to mind.
『60… 59… 58… 』
At eye level of about 2m, the number that came to mind decreased little by little. An eerie countdown fueling unknown anxiety. People’s complexions turned white, and at the same time, their gazes mixed with resentment gathered at the anchovy man.
But the karma for him didn’t end there. The lush bushes behind him shook, and soon 10 green-skinned dwarves appeared, about the size of an adult man’s waist.
“Keeeee I-what is that! A monster, a monster!”
“Madame! Calm down! With the dome, it’s fine for now.”
“I-I hear that even when I see them! You are looking at me with creepy eyes!”
Mrs. Thai put her hand up and covered her body in displeasure. Kim Min-joon’s eyes went cold as he saw the scene.
No matter how you look at it, their eyes were not on the lady, but on the other two women.
But I didn’t make the mistake of pursuing it.
“Let’s all assemble! We even have weapons! The weight difference is also quite large. I can win enough!”
“You want to fight them? It’s crazy! I can not! It’s because of that man! What do you mean!”
Meanwhile, while they were talking like that, there was someone looking at Gaon.
Her name is Chorin Lee.
Chorin had been staring at Gaon, who had been staring blankly into the void.
Even though she was lacking somewhere, the way she looked made me feel like it was hard to just pass by. Of course, it was not without fault that she had her good heart in the first place.
Chorin looked back and forth between her party and Gaon, who were arguing with her dagger in both hands, and cautiously moved her steps.
“I-here.”
“…”
No answer.
“Hey!”
Only then did Gaon turn his head at the shrieking cry.
‘Is it done now?’
Gaon, who was contemplating what to do in the future, nodded his head at the sight of everyone holding various weapons.
“Let’s go.”
“Uh, uh… ! Now, hold on!”
Calmly heading towards the party, Gaon summoned the status window and selected the window.
Gaon, who deftly snatched the spewing spear out of space, turned her head to see Chorin, who had just opened her mouth, staring blankly at her spear.
I guess I was trying to explain.
“You only believe the bachelor’s words! Huh? Know!”
“Yes. Of course. First of all, it seems that everyone should get together and start with role division. The one with the shield comes forward, the one with the spear stands in the back, and so on—”
The stout man who was talking to the aunt gave instructions to everyone. At that order, the men stood up without saying a word, even though they had dissatisfied faces.
Four men and three women.
Conditions are better than expected. The fact that there are no children or elderly people is in itself a much better situation.
‘How was it in the past life…’
I don’t have a very good memory, so I couldn’t remember the details. Even in the 2nd playthrough, I had a hard time sorting out various information because of this.
‘I don’t think it was annihilated.’
There were probably a few casualties.
But that’s all because you fell for yourself.
For now, I intend to actively participate, so I can completely eliminate the victims.
It was advantageous to save as many people as possible for the fight later.
When we reached the vicinity of the group, people’s eyes gathered. At the same time, the man who was giving instructions approached Gaon.
