‘What is this…?’

I couldn’t help but widen my eyes at the sight of this status window filled with unexpected information.

I hadn't misread it.

This guy already did this for the 3rd time? How desperate are you. You came back for the second time.

I was too stunned to speak. I almost had my jaw dropped.

I'm a little conflicted with this. This man already did this for the second time, that's why his swordmanship is already out of this world. And surely ther will be many information that only he would know. But that also means this guy has failed 2 times, isn't that just incompetence?

But that can't be it. From the status window alone, it can be imagined how strong he will be in the future. There's no way he would be incompetent.

Is there a really big threat it the future that makes him regress? Or is he just come back to fix his mistake or something?

“Hyung-ssi, who…”

“My name is Kim Hyunsung.”

“I'm Park Deokgu.”

The handsome man didn't answer. He just stared at me who's deep in thought as if he's possessed with an indescribable stare.

“I’m Lee Kiyoung.”

I snapped out of it and introduced myself. He still didn't answer, but he still stared at me with a strange gaze. Something like... guilt and longing?

Wtf, what is that gaze about? Did I meet you on the last timeline? did we have some kind of relation?

This can be a plus to me. I don't have to waste time familiarize myself with him. If I'm indeed related to him in the last timeline, I'm sure he already have favorable impression of me.

“Are you guys okay?"

Just as I'm about to open my mouth, the guy asked first.

“Yeah we're okay, as you can see. This isn't actually the first time we fight. Hyung-nim made this leather armor for me and it was hyung-nim who went ahead first and smashed the head of a monster with his spear. Thanks to him I gained a bit of courage.
Hyung-nim really is amazing!”

"I know"

huh?

"Yes?"

"Nothing"

Then that Hyunsung guy turn his back and walked away without further conversation.

What the hell?

I thought he will be friendly or at least familiar with me, but why is he so cold? it was even colder than how normal people usually is to a stranger.
