Regressor Instruction Manual (PART 1)

Chapter 192: Nothing Happened

All of a sudden, I was thrown back into the throes of reality.

I could feel it without having to look around. I was out of the black world.

As soon as I tried to refocus, I felt tremendous pain, so intense that I couldn't even scream. My brain blacked out, and I had no choice but to grasp at my face.

'Sh*t... Fuck...'

Perhaps this was a side effect of going into the black world with Yuno Kasugano. It felt like my eyeballs would pop out at any time, and a scream lodged itself into the back of my throat.

In the first place, I didn't even know it was possible to head into the black world as well, so having dire side effects was natural. I didn't know if the tears that streamed down my face were because of the pain, but they continued to run down my cheeks all the same.

My current body seemed to have forgotten the first timeline, but my tears flowed all the same.

'What is this... sh*tty situation?'

Of course, I was impressed. I didn't really care about the black world. All I wanted to know was when and where I would die and what I had done with my life. What was important was not me as a whole, but how I had chosen to survive.

I had come here only intending to know how to strengthen Park Deokgu, but I had ended up seeing more than what I had bargained for. I got to learn more about Yuno Kasugano.

The problem was that I couldn't remember my own life from the first timeline, but I at least got a glimpse of what happened during that particular winter back in the black world.

Once again, I had to turn the story back to its origin.

I heard Yuno Kasugano's story straight from her, so I already knew about this, but I didn't think I would be able to witness this in detail.

The contents were ridiculously catastrophic. Park Deokgu died while protecting me, and I had betrayed Yuno Kasugano.

'I really was a piece of sh*t...'

If Yuno Kasugano had decided to kill me right then and there, I would surely have died. Even though the black world Lee Kiyoung was sure that Kasugano would not kill him, he was still brave enough to take a risk and gamble the odds.

Meanwhile, Yuno Kasugano was staring at me, her tears streaming down her face.

'How does she die?'

I didn't exactly know what the sh*tty version of myself was thinking, but due to her pitiful state, I at least gathered that it wouldn't be him who would've killed her.

'Because he said he'd let her be with him.'

Chances were, I had made this decision since she had proven herself to be useful to me.

Based on Kasugano's story, it seemed as if I had been with her for quite a long time, so I definitely wouldn't have chosen to kill her. Therefore, it was only natural to conclude that an incident fell upon us, resulting in her eventual death.

It wasn't just Yuno that lingered in my thoughts. The fact that Park Deokgu had died protecting me in the first timeline continued to bother me as well.

'This stupid guy...'

I had already assumed that he would be dead by the time Yuno found me, but I had not expected him to die a heroic death, and all because of me.

I shook my head as I rubbed at my reddened eyes; my emotions were bubbling up from within me.

Park Deokgu was alive this time around.
