I Found the Regressor With My Reflexes

1 – Why is a regressor here?

I woke up to the cold energy coming from my back.

‘… What.’

I remember falling asleep while sitting on the subway.

Why is my back cold as if I had been lying down for a long time?

Who threw me to the floor?

Once I saw people’s shoes and legs in front of me, it was clear that they were lying down… The rough texture of the floor was by no means subway.

“Someone knows where this is!”

“I don’t know, so be quiet!”

“Please send me back! I have a son at home!”

The words I heard didn’t go well with the subway.

I got up to grasp the situation, and the interior of a stone building that reminded me of a pyramid or an ancient labyrinth caught my eye.

A lot of people who have been making noise ever since.

… What the hell is this

Looking at everyone panicking, it seems like I was here when I woke up.

The moment I thought it would be nice if someone explained the situation.

Light fell from the sky.

“Ah…”

An angel descended into the building.

Really.

A glowing ring above his head, huge white wings and a divine halo.

The image of an angel with aqua-colored hair and eyes slowly descending was majestic, like a scene from a myth.

Everyone who was making a fuss fell silent in a sense of awe.

“Thank you for keeping your composure in an embarrassing situation.”

In the silence, the angel finally stopped descending and opened his mouth.

“Greetings, everyone. I’m Gabriel, one of the tower’s managers.”

Let’s sigh silently at the benevolent voice befitting that appearance.

“You are currently standing at the entrance of the tower.”

Gabriel’s explanation began in earnest.

“The tower was built to support your growth, but only those who are qualified can enter.”

As I listened to the explanation, I felt a strange sense of deja vu.

“Therefore, we have prepared a small trial to see if you are qualified.”

This isn’t just the fairy from the hair reaper tutorial… Didn’t you cut out the beginning of the tower climb?

“Of course, I know that this is a sudden story for you.”

I wonder if I was the only one who thought that. The atmosphere in the hall became a bit strange.

“That’s why I’ve prepared a little help. In your culture…you’d better call it the status window.”

Even the status window came out, so the atmosphere was clearly relaxed.

Familiarity is a stronger stabilizer than you think.

“If you say status window once, you can check it.”

Perhaps knowing that kind of heart, the still unconcerned angel urged us to shout at the status window.

He shouted at the status window as if someone had been waiting for him.

“Status window!”

“…Status window!”

“Four, status window.”

As the rest followed, the sound of the ‘Status Window’ resonated everywhere, like a revolving song.

Of course, I was among them.

Looking at the status window that appeared in front of my eyes, something was strange.

But maybe it’s the beginning, so I don’t have any skills or jobs, and there doesn’t seem to be much to use.

I think the only thing I can use is ‘reflection’, an ability.

How do you write this?

The moment I put my finger on the superpower without much thought while thinking about it, the knowledge about the superpower flowed into my head.

Looking at the knowledge that naturally settled in as if I had known it originally, I found that my superpowers were unexpectedly activated in response to external stimuli.

As the name suggests, the effect is reflective, but it was a bit complicated.

It automatically activates when an attack of 10 comes in, and then returns 10 in its entirety for a very short time. After that, the ability to reflect only 3.

By the way, I just had to accept the remaining 7.

‘This is a forced tanker trip.’

Activated abilities are maintained for a certain amount of time, and you have to wait for a cooldown of about 30 minutes before you can use them again.

The ability itself wasn’t bad, but… It was a little disappointing that it was automatically activated and the cooldown was long.

Even the perfect reflection time was 0.0 Seconds, so it wasn’t really effective except for the first attack.

Well, seeing as the grade is F, this could be even better.

“I hope you guys can climb the tower.”

As I was diligently putting the things I understood into my head, just in time, the angel said a short goodbye.

“Then let the ordeal begin.”

I declared the start of the ordeal soon.

As soon as he finished his words, a wave of some sort emanated from the angel, pulverizing the walls of the stone building and revealing the scenery beyond the walls.

A forest with impressive greenery.

“Oh…?”

As I was involuntarily admiring the magic – it might actually be the magic of something – I felt something surround me.

The moment I intuitively realized that this ‘something’ was the power of my superpower, a status window suddenly appeared in front of me.

‘I haven’t called you yet?’

The superpowers are activated on their own, and the status window suddenly appears?

I squinted my eyes, wondering if there was something wrong.

There was something strange about the status window that appeared. First of all, the name next to the status window was not my name.

And….

‘What is that?’

Regression? Why is that

Of course, having read some web novels, I knew about the term regression.

Doesn’t that mean you’ve returned to the past from the future?

The problem was that there was a status window with the word regression in front of me.

A status window that isn’t even mine.

Why did you show this to me?

Did you know the future me? It sounds like a girl’s name, maybe?

Remembering the various possibilities, who the hell is the owner of this status window?

I glimpsed a woman staring at me through the translucent status window.

She was a beauty with short hair that went well with her slender body.

Somehow, because of his insensitive eyes and ferocious eyes, his expression looked even more savage.

… It seemed to be coming this way.

No. Correct.

It’s clearly coming this way.

Why?

Is that person a regressor?

Then why did you show the status window… Ah.

Suddenly, the effect of my superpower came to mind.

Even the moment when the supernatural ability was activated on its own.

What if the regressor tried to see my status window with some kind of ability?

What if my ability, which activated it automatically, was ‘reflected’?

As soon as I reached that point, I turned my back and ran away.

Although there were some expressions and atmospheres that were unusual.

… Aren’t you a regressor?

Most of the regressors are people suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder that they have to change the future since they have returned to the past.

Of course, it is normal for a person who has returned to the past to have such thoughts, whether small or large.

The problem lies in the fact that such compulsions can manifest as extreme actions if you have been through a difficult future.

Sometimes there are people who just want to live comfortably this life, but….

Looking at that expression, it was rather close to the side of me trying to kill me, but it didn’t seem like I was going to sit around.

Fortunately, the ability written on the status window I just saw was lower than mine.

If you fight head-on, you will definitely lose because of the difference in skill and experience, but it might be possible if you just run away.

… Please.

As I ran with such hope, I heard footsteps chasing me from behind.

“Stand there!”

A sharp female voice too.

‘I’m chasing you… !”

I even peeked back and saw that he was holding a sword, wondering where he got it!

I gritted my teeth at that terrifying sight and spurred me on to run.

“Stand up!”

“Please save me!!!”

“Tsk…”

However, despite running with the momentum to vomit blood, the distance from the regressor was still not far.

On the contrary, it feels like we are getting closer.

Why? Why?

Having doubts while running, I only understood the situation after slightly stumbling over a tree root.

The forest is not a very suitable terrain for running, and the opponent was used to running in a forest like this.

He seemed to know how to run properly.

Compared to him, my stats were only slightly higher, so I was gradually catching up.

I’m thinking about how to get rid of that regressor.

– Fu-wook.

A knife suddenly fell from above my head and hit the ground in front of me.

Frightened, I threw myself away and tried to avoid the tree next to me, but the tree suddenly collapsed in vain.

As I put my weight on the tree, of course I was also swept away.

‘What!?’

A cross section of a neatly cut tree came into my eyes as I fell in bewilderment.

Ah.

‘Cut….’

If you think about it, of course even a regressor can use superpowers.

It seems that he cut down an entire tree using his supernatural ability, ‘Cut’.

Unfortunately, I was already rolling on the ground when I realized it.

“Great…”

Perhaps the regressor will catch up with me soon.

You may get back up and run away, but you’ll be overtaken in no time.

All I could do was hold onto the sword and wait.

Still, the fortunate thing was that the regressor did not target me directly, but aimed at the tree.

Perhaps he’s not the psychopath regressor I was concerned about.

Of course, there was a very high probability that the tribe of regressors had mental problems, so it was forbidden to be vigilant.

Waiting so nervously.

“Huh… got it.”

The regressor finally arrived let out a grim sound.

Hearing that voice, he wonders if he just kept it alive to torture him.

I just closed my eyes.
