ReLife Player Chapter 13

Relife Player 013

[Chapter 009]

[changing future]

Memories of childhood are hazy like fog, but only that day was clearly imprinted.

May of the year Eunha becomes 6 years old.

He lost his family on this day.

It wasn’t anyone’s mistake or fault. It was an extremely unfortunate accident.

Eunhae’s family was on their way to visit their grandmother living in Incheon. After <Destruction at the End of the Century (1999)>, movement between cities was extremely limited, and monsters occasionally appeared on the roads connecting the cities.

So the parents were avoiding taking the two children out of the city for safety reasons.

Naturally, Eunha and Eunah did not know about their grandmother except when she came to see them. It was also when two children were born.

However, Lim Ga-eul, who took office as a fairy, first implemented a policy of repairing roads connecting cities. Road maintenance was a necessary policy for her to install cocoons all over her peninsula.

And in May of the first year of the Seonryeok.

After <Destruction at the End of the Century>, the fairy government presented a surprise gift for relatives living far away and people who have difficulty communicating.

It was the announcement that they would hire players in large numbers to fix the roads in May and September.

In the meantime, the reason people were reluctant to go to visit their families outside the city was because of the monsters that appeared on the roads that no one managed.

There was no one who objected to the government’s plan to allow all households to celebrate the month of family and Chuseok.

May 4th.

People immediately packed up and went home.

The same goes for the Eunha family.

Eunha still remembered that day. No matter how much time passed, her car wouldn’t move forward, so the day she lit the torch.

It was a great procession corresponding to the national unit. Any road had to be congested.

And monsters had no choice but to appear.

Mana calls mana and is omnipresent. Mana unconsciously shed by people on their way home was ubiquitous.

In the omnipresence, monsters were born, and there was no way they could not help but turn their eyes to the people who were crowded with monsters who coveted mana.

This was also the reason why the fairy government hired players on a large scale.

The problem was that the fairy government was complacent about the situation.

One of the incidents that have been talked about since its inception has occurred.

Complacent policy of the early government.

insecurity.

Insufficient first action.

It was the first public apology of fairy Lim Ga-eul. Even Eunha had negative feelings toward the fairy Lim Ga-eul.

Since that day, he had to suffer from helplessness.

Because I had to suffer the loss.

Because I had to realize what death was.

Kraken, a monster that appeared without any warning.

Even at that time, it was a disaster disaster monster that corresponds to the 3rd tier.

It was a literal disaster.

The people there were but lamps before the wind.

The same goes for the Eunha family.

A car falling down a railroad bridge.

Sleep approaching slowly like slow motion.

screams in the car.

A scream from outside the car.

And Eun-ah hugs him tightly to protect him.

‘are you okay. My sister will protect you.’

Is it because it was

The galaxy miraculously survived. The players rescued him from floating on the surface.

People cheered for him who miraculously survived. Countless flowers from strangers filled the hospital room.

Someone forcibly came to the hospital room and asked if you wanted to share your miracle or what you thought of the people cheering for you miraculously alive.

miracle.

yes, a miracle

The miracle of a guy who freezes to death.

In exchange for a miracle, he lost everything.

The age of 6 was too young to be aware of reality.

He resented his family. He resented Eun-ah.

why did you leave me alone

It wouldn’t have been so hard if he had killed me at that time as well.

Resentment turned to hatred for monsters, and it became a yoke called <Undead> that does not die even if it dies.

And that day came again.

The 6-year-old May that I met after returning.

I will never miss it in this lifetime.

☆

“Isn’t it the May holiday from next week? Shall we go see grandma then?”

The first person to speak was my father.

“grandma?”

Eun-ah, who was half buried in the rice bowl, raised her head. Not knowing if there was rice glue next to her lips, she was munching like a rabbit.

“She’s the person who becomes your mother’s mother. I met Eun-ah once when she was a baby, don’t you remember?”

“okay?”

“It was dangerous outside of Seoul, so I should have gone to see my grandmother. But this year, the roads will be maintained by the government, so you will be safe.”

“That’s fortunate. I haven’t met my mother since Eunha was born.”

“Me too. She is like a mother to me too.”

My parents’ faces softened, probably thinking of my grandmother living in Incheon.

My father, who was no different from an orphan, said that he was like a mother and a benefactor, perhaps because he was beholden to his grandmother.

Meanwhile, father and mother talk about the first time they met.

They were really a good couple. There is no way that Eunha didn’t know that their eyes looking at each other were getting hotter.

They seem to be relieved that we’re young, but I’m listening to them all.

Eun-ha pretended not to know what happened tonight. She then decided to interrupt and change her subject again.

“Mom, Dad. Can’t we go see Grandma next time?”

“”huh?””

You wouldn’t have known that he would suddenly say that he would not go. Eunha always bothered about everything, but it was only natural for her parents to tilt their heads knowing that he didn’t force himself for no reason.

But I had to force myself.

No, I had to force it.

Because that was the only thing he could do.

“Don’t you want to meet Eunha’s grandmother?”

Mother asked with a sad expression.

“No. I want to see Grandma too.”

My desire to go see my grandmother was as chimney-like as my mother’s.

The person who took care of him who was left alone after losing his family was his grandmother. Even if her people saw him living like an autistic child and pointed at him as reluctant, her grandmother became her parent until the day she closed her eyes.

To him, his grandmother was such a being. When he returned, he had a feeling that he wanted to go see her grandmother right away.

“But… not that day. Can’t we go next year?”

A galaxy that knows the future that will happen in the future.

He made up his mind that he would change anything, just for this day.

yeah i’m a selfish guy

he conceded again. He’s a selfish guy whose only thoughts are to save his family.

Whether the people there died or not didn’t care at all.

There was no obligation to him to save everyone. He had no sense of justice, much less.

A mere 6-year-old kindergartener, he was insignificant in front of disaster-class monsters. He was in a hurry to equip himself, and it was too much to protect his family. Even more so, no one would believe his words.

It would be a lie to say there is no guilt.

Still, he will choose again and again. More selfish than anyone else, like a tenacity.

Maybe I’m crazy somewhere

Admit it. Even after returning, he is still an <Undead> who does not die even if he dies, and a <Berserker> who has gone insane.

Ever since the day he lost his family, he thought something was wrong. And he thought that was what made a man not a man.

Even with a second life, he’s still crazy. After killing monsters, he became a monster.

After realizing that, I couldn’t tell anyone that I had regressed.

“Is there any reason you don’t want to go?”

The father, who had been watching him quietly, opened his mouth. Those stern eyes seemed to be looking for something in him.

Eun-ha knew that she would not be able to convince her father if she just said that she would not go.

Because there is a degree of deterrence.

So he decided to refute for reasons his father could understand.

“Didn’t Dad tell you before? Thanks to the Fairy’s installation of Cocoon, more people will go down to the provinces.”

“Yeah, it was.”

“Then the road would be very, very blocked? And what if a monster appeared on the way?

“Eunha recognized a lot. So Dad thought to leave a day early. And the monsters will be defeated by the players, so don’t worry.”

It’s no use though.

Eunha shook her head inwardly.

My father probably isn’t the only one who thinks starting a day early will suffice. Moreover, the players who repaired the roads could not stop the Kraken.

As proof, the Eunhae family lost their lives because they left a day early.

When he became a player, Kraken was a 4th tier monster, but in this era, it was definitely a 3rd tier monster.

At least, to deal with the Kraken of this era, a player called <Twelve Seats>, a player similar to him, or a clan that reached B rank or higher had to stick together.

There was no way such people were applying for road maintenance.

However, it was difficult to convince his father with the information he knew. He couldn’t trust the information a child brought.

So be like a child. Most.

lest my father be suspicious.

“And next week is Children’s Day! I want to go to the amusement park on that day! Hayangi says there’s even a Viking in Dreamland! It’s not long from home!”

“Haha, Eunha, you… you can see your intentions too clearly, right?”

“Whoa, Eunha was 6 years old too.”

Unexpectedly, my father burst into laughter. Her mother, who had been quietly listening to her, also turned her head and held back her laughter.

“Neither of you have been to an amusement park.”

In the meantime, Eunha didn’t even go to kindergarten, so she was avoiding going far. Children’s Grand Park and Everland in Gwacheon were also like that. The only places the Eunha family went to play were Changgyeonggung Palace and Gyeongbokgung Palace, which are close to the house.

It was not unreasonable for the father to be lost in thought.

OK, the vibe isn’t bad.

If you bring an ally here.

“Does your sister want to go to Dreamland too?”

“I want to go! Dad, I want to ride a bike too!”

Eun-ah jumped up from her seat and her eyes lit up.

No one in the family could ignore Eun-ah’s expectant gaze.

“It can’t be helped. Then, let’s go to Dreamland next week!”

“I’ll have to pack a lunch too. Eun-ah, what do you want to eat?”

“I want a sandwich! I want a sandwich and chicken nuggets!”

“I am the tuna gimbap that my mother made.”

succeded.

Having achieved its goal, the galaxy sang with delight.

This will change the future.

It will change.

It didn’t take long to realize that this was an easy idea.

☆

“Yes? Are you my mother?”

As if fate cannot be changed.

The peaceful atmosphere cooled down.

It was just a few days after the galaxy achieved its purpose.

The mother, who received a phone call while eating dinner, was restless.

“…Yes, I understand. Thank you. Take care of my mother. Yes, yes…”

My mother hung up the phone, visibly depressed.

“Mom, what’s wrong?”

“What happened to your mother?”

Her mother, who was normally calm, seemed to be worried about Eun-ah too. Her mother, who embraced her as she ran, opened her mouth with a soft smile on her face.

“It’s not a big deal…”

“What?”

“My mother passed out.”

“what?”

grandma?

It can’t be. After hearing her mother’s words, Eun-ha couldn’t believe her ears.

Eun-ha recalled a story she had heard from her relatives in the past. When her grandmother heard that her health had declined since the death of her grandfather, and that her parents had died, she did not even get up from her bed.

However, the grandmother woke up to pick up Eunha not long after lying down, and nothing happened until he entered the player academy.

So, it was the first time that the story that grandmother collapsed at this time was unheard of.

Has the future changed?

I shook my head at the sudden thought.

There is a word called the butterfly effect, but there was no way it would lead to the grandmother collapsing. At best, all her mother had to do was tell her grandmother over the phone that she wouldn’t be there this year.

It’s just an accidental event.

really by chance.

“It doesn’t look like you’re hurt too badly, but…”

Even if her mother didn’t say anything, Eunha never doubted that her grandmother would be okay.

But the mother, unaware of her grandmother’s death, has no choice but to worry. The thought of her grandmother living alone since her grandfather’s death made her uneasy.

“I can’t do it. I have to go see my mother too.”

In the end, what Eunha was concerned about happened. Raising her head, her mother looked like she was about to pack.

“How are you going to go alone?”

“If you’re alone, there’ll be a seat on the train.”

“I’ll take care of Eunha and Eunah, and you go alone?

“But the kids…”

“I can’t go to Dreamland at this time.”

It was a theory. Her parents couldn’t stand still when they heard that her grandmother had collapsed.

What’s going on.

Eun-ha just blankly watched her parents talking.

I thought that if I knew the future, anything would come true.

But the future didn’t turn out the way it was meant to. The moment he first decided to change the future, the future passed by his hand as if it were imminent.

As if fate cannot be changed.

Do not be ridiculous.

It’s all about the shitty sound of destiny.

There was no reason to live a second life if you couldn’t change the future. There is no reason for him to return.

“It’s Eunha, Grandma.

is very uncomfortable. I know Eunha wants to go to Dreamland, but can we put it off until later?”

Parents who persuade Eun-ha.

He said nothing to his parents.

It was a complete outlier.

“Eunha…”

It’s ugly.

It seemed that someone giggled and laughed.

When he looked up, only his parents were waiting for his answer.

There was no one.

who laughed at

Still, it was clearly audible. Even now.

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

help me!

Mom~!

This time a scream.

On that day of childhood, which was the only thing he remembered, a scream rang out as he faced the fear of death that he couldn’t help.

‘My older sister will protect you.’

Eun-ah hugs him in a falling car.

Then the world fell into the river and was covered in bubbles.

don’t remember Wake up, Noh Eun-ha!

As the traumatic day played out, I almost vomited without realizing it.

He held back the nausea and emotions boiling from within.

If you can’t control your emotions here, everything will end.

So you have to be cool.

So you have to find the best move to break the situation.

The next best if not the best.

But I couldn’t come to mind. Not a single means to convince her parents to worry about her grandmother.

For no reason, Grandma couldn’t convince her that it would be okay.

Shall we use a swarm? What group to use in this situation?

“Kuh…”

Eun-ha was seized with a sense of helplessness, unable to do anything.

“…I can’t help it. I’m going to see my grandmother.”

The voice that came out of his mouth was like chewing sand. In the end, I had no choice but to bring out the words my parents expected.

it’s so good

I hate it, save me

Only the screams of the day, echoing in the midst of the abyss, disturbed my head.
