The sound of my name, Seo Kang-rim, coming out of the woman’s mouth felt so unfamiliar.
Why is that woman looking for me?
First of all, that woman wasn’t in my memory.
I activated ‘Fate’ towards the woman and looked at her fortune teller.
═══════════════
[Name] Baek Young
[Rank] Shinilpum (God’s First Product)
[???] This fate is protected.
[???] This fate is protected.
═══════════════
A masterpiece of God?
I’ve never seen a rating like that.
Even the owner of the house, Shin Su-ah, was of the third rank.
Even his abilities were not something that ordinary people could possess.
Among the numerous abilities, one stood out clearly.
═══════════════
[Ability] Regression
[Rank] Shinilpum (God’s First Product)
[Description] You can return to the past while retaining your memories. Cannot be used if you are dead.
═══════════════
I couldn’t even guess why a regressor of the highest rank was looking for me.
Meanwhile, people were whispering quietly when they heard my name.
“Seogangrim? If it’s Seogangrim, is it that Seogangrim?”
“But did that woman take down the Bulgasal? All by herself?”
“Hey, where did Seo Kang-rim go?”
Because I went to the corner to collect Sogwi’s clothes, people couldn’t find me.
As I was about to leave because something was off, thorns suddenly grew in front of me.
The thorns that grew around me seemed to protect me.
[Don’t come out and stay there.]
Shin Soo-ah’s voice was heard.
How could you pinpoint my location so easily from so far away?
Because there were so many vines growing inside the magic realm, people didn’t seem to notice the thorny vines that had suddenly appeared.
… … I don’t feel good.
Why is the new ability user looking for me?
I tried to get out of here, but the thorns were so strong that it didn’t seem like they would be easily broken.
At that time, Shin Soo-ah asked Baek Young from the tree.
“What is your business?”
Baek Young came forward step by step.
There was a splashing sound in the pool of blood.
“To kill him.”
You’re killing me? Why?
I didn’t understand.
A woman I’ve never seen before shows up and says she wants to kill me.
Moreover, he is a person of the highest rank.
If he wanted to, he could kill me with just one finger.
At that moment, Shin Soo-ah was seen jumping down as if she was flying.
She blocked Baekyoung’s path and aimed her sword.
“No one in my sect can kill anyone.”
Despite those words, Baek Young’s expression remained blank.
Just a blank expression on his face, neither angry nor laughing.
Baek Young looked blankly at the other people.
“It seems certain that Seo Kang-rim is in here.”
Baek Young raised his sword and swung it with a sword strike.
As the blue sword drew an orbit, a tremendous amount of wind pressure was generated.
-Whoaaah!
Blood rain fell inside the magic realm.
The heads of the people ahead were all flying away.
Among them were leaders of other sects.
Baek Young was staring at it with an expressionless face.
“If we kill them all, Seo Kang-rim will be among them.”
Dozens of people died with just one swing of Baek Young’s sword.
People who realized the situation late began to scream.
“Eww! It’s a murderer!”
“Everyone run away!”
As people who had lost their minds ran towards the exit, they banged their heads in the air with a thumping sound.
“What are you doing instead of going out quickly?”
“Hey, there’s a barrier… …!”

As he said, a bluish barrier was blocking the exit.
At that moment, a sharp, sharp sound echoed through the magic realm.
-Chae-Ang!
Shin Soo-ah had suddenly approached Baek Young and was swinging a knife at him.
The two swords clashed and made a shattering sound.
Shin Soo-ah’s face was filled with anger and hatred.
The gaze he gave Baek-young, with the veins on his neck standing out, was murderous in itself.
“If you hand over Seo Kang-rim, I will let the rest go alive.”
Shin Soo-ah was pushing the knife away with all her might, but her arms were shaking.
She would have known too.
That Baekyoung and I are on different levels.
“Ms. Shin Soo-ah! Run away!”
I screamed loudly, but Shin Soo Ah didn’t look back.
It seemed like not only Shin Soo-ah but also no one could hear my voice.
I checked urgently and found that Kang Do-Hyeon’s barrier was attached to the thorn vine.
Damn, there’s no way you can hear my voice.
I desperately tried to cut the vines with my sword, but they looked like lumps of metal, not wood.
-Wow!
At that moment, Baek Young’s sword seemed to be pushed back for a moment, but soon Baek Young struck his sword again.
Shin Soo-ah, unable to withstand the force, was seen flying away as if thrown.
-Koosh!
Shin Soo-ah, who was buried in the wall, flowed down.
I tried to get up, but all I could do was vomit blood.
As Baek Young approached Shin Soo Ah as if to finish things off, something jumped down from above Baek Young.
It was Yoo Ha-rang and Kang Do-hyeon.
Two men rushed at Baekyoung with swords drawn.
I ended up screaming.
“no!”
As soon as I finished screaming, the swords that Yu Ha-rang and Kang Do-hyeon were holding fell.
With the arm holding the sword.
-Crunch!
Without even giving him a chance to scream, Baek Young drew his sword and cut off Yu Ha-rang’s chest and Kang Do-hyeon’s neck.
Red blood spurted everywhere.
Yuharang collapsed with a look of incomprehension on her face.
It was so surreal to see her collapse.
He was the person I was talking to just a moment ago.
Kang Do-hyeon had a hole in his neck.
As he was coughing up blood and sobbing, Baek Young finished him off.
A knife was thrust into Kang Do-hyeon’s heart, and his movements immediately stopped.
A scream came out of my mouth, but they probably couldn’t hear it.
The sword I was using to strike the thorny vines broke, and when I grabbed the vines with my bare hands, the thorns dug into my flesh, but I didn’t even feel the pain.
While I was screaming, other people were crying too.
“Seo, where is Seo Kang-rim?! Bring him here quickly!”
“Save me, save me… … !”
People were running away, crying, to avoid Baek Young’s sword.
Baek Young was killing people without hesitation or mercy.
Then, someone blocked Baekyoung’s path.
Baek Young asked the people blocking her way.
“Are you Seo Kang-rim?”
“no.”
Jang Tae-heon was leading the members of Bihomun’s sect and standing in front of Baek Yeong.
He gritted his teeth and glared at Baekyoung as he spoke.
“It’s a secret door.”
And as soon as he finished speaking, Jang Tae-heon quickly closed the distance between them.
It was literally the speed of light.
Baek Young was unable to react for a moment.
He suddenly came up to Baekyoung and threw a punch.
The armored fist hit Baek Young’s jaw.
-Ugh!
A fatal blow. It was definitely a broken bone.
But Baek Young was fine.
“… … !”
Blood was dripping from Jang Tae-heon’s fist.
Baek Young grabbed his wrist with an expressionless face.
“I’m bothered.”
And in an instant, Jang Tae-heon’s body was split in half.
Strangely enough, I thought I heard a voice yelling at me to come to the company dinner after work today.
The rest of the sect members screamed and rushed at Baekyoung, but they too ended up dying.
Every time Baek Young swung his sword, the sword pressure tore apart the area.
The sharp wind also cut away the thorns that had been blocking my path.
Only then could I get out, but it was too late.
He died.
Yoo Ha-rang, Kang Do-hyeon, Jang Tae-heon, and countless others.
I heard that voice, like a curse I had heard as a child, saying that anyone related to me would be unhappy.
As I was staggering out, I heard someone’s sharp voice.
“I found it! It’s Seo Kang-rim!”
When I looked back, I saw another sect member glaring at me with a blood-soaked face.
In an instant, hundreds of eyes turned towards me.
Other sect members ran towards me like crazy people and grabbed me and held me down.
“You little punk, you were hiding to live alone?”
“If only you had died quickly… …!”
They pulled me in as if they were going to tear me alive.
Just looking at his gaze, it seemed like he was going to stab me to death right now.
I was dragged out by people and thrown onto the floor in a mess of blood and entrails.
“Kill this kid quickly and let us go!”
When I raised my head, Baekyoung was approaching.
The people surrounding me were looking at me with hateful and resentful eyes.
Everyone was looking at me and demanding that I die, that I die quickly.
I didn’t feel any despair or betrayal when I saw that gaze.
From the beginning, there was no way anyone here would be on my side.
All the people who were by my side are dead.
There is no one on my side here anymore.
Everyone is hoping for my death.
“… …Stop.”
At that moment, a voice was heard from behind Baek Young.
“Don’t touch our sect members any more.”
Shin Soo-ah was limping as she walked.
His right arm was broken and bent in an odd direction, and he could barely hold the sword with his left hand.
I couldn’t understand.
Why are you blocking Baekyoung?
It’s an opponent you can’t beat.
He said that if I killed him, he would spare everyone.
Baek Young also asked, seeming puzzled.
“I don’t understand. If only Seo Kang-rim died, everyone would live.”
As she said, it’s a problem that only I have to die to solve.
I am an insignificant human being, with a fate no greater than that of an insect.
Nevertheless, Shin Soo-ah raised her sword with her left arm and aimed it at Baek Young.
“It is the role of the sect leader to protect the members of the sect.”
As soon as those words were finished, Baek Young’s sword flashed.
Shin Soo-ah tried to block the sword, but her left arm wasn’t enough.
Before even a few strokes could be exchanged, a ghostly white blade plunged into Shin Soo Ah’s chest.
“Coolook… … !”
Shin Soo-ah even dropped the sword she was holding.
But there was still a strong murderous intent in his eyes.
She held Baekyoung’s arm and sword tightly and shouted loudly.
“All sect members, retreat! The barrier has been broken!”
-Whoaaah!
At the same time, thorns sprouted from the ground.
Baek Young tried to evade, but Shin Soo Ah grabbed his arm.
The vines that grew in an instant wrapped around Baek-yeong and Shin-soo-ah at the same time.
“The barrier has been broken!”
“Everyone run away!”
After confirming that the barrier had been broken, people began to run away in droves.
Baek Young tried to pull her arm away, but Shin Soo Ah did not let go.
He just stands there, holding onto Baekyoung’s arm with his whole body, as if he will never let go.
But she was already dead.
He was holding Baek-yeong while he was dead.
“… … .”
Baek Young stared at Shin Soo Ah for a moment and then looked away.
Her ears flashed blue.
[The ability ‘Ice Summoning’ is activated!]
In an instant, countless ice cubes were summoned into the sky.
The ice began to pierce the heads of people running towards the exit.
“Eww!”
“Please, please save me!”
I lay among the corpses and watched the scene.
It was hateful.
I hated myself more than Baek Young.
My fate is that of a powerless insect.
If I continue like this, I too will die.
The Bihomun group risked their lives to save me, so if I just die here, I would be no different from a bug.
Even though I was insignificant, I had one last weapon.
A weapon that I never used even once due to bad luck.
The freshly dead corpses that they had been searching for so desperately were now everywhere.
[The ability ‘Steal the Four Pillars of Destiny’ is activated!]
[Using this ability will accumulate karma.]
[The current death toll within the range is 421.]
[Who do you want to steal fortune from?]
I gritted my teeth and gave the order.
[421 people, in total.]
