I Found the Regressor With My Reflexes

45 – 1st floor settlement (2)

I was very puzzled, but….

If you ask Seoyeon or Seol, it will be resolved anyway.

I decided not to worry about it now.

“The business is over, so I have to go now.”

A Haktan happened just in time.

“I think the equipment will be completed by tomorrow… Is that okay?”

“It’s okay. It’ll be difficult to clear the special dungeon in one day anyway.”

“Okay.”

That’s when Haktan was about to leave.

“Ah, Haktan.”

“Hmm?”

I suddenly had a question, so I grabbed him and asked him a question.

“What do orcs mean by brothers?”

“Sudden question…hmm.”

After thinking for a while, Haktan came up with an answer.

“We have things to learn from each other, and we can say that we are worthy of respect…”

“If only that condition is met, are women included?”

“…?”

Haktan made an expression as if he had heard it wrong.

He sighed as if he noticed something.

“…It looks like you got a petal related to the ‘brother’?”

“Well… that’s right.”

“Looking at the last time I used my skill, I can guess what kind of power it is…”

Haktan was slightly speechless.

Since my influence seems to be quite large, women will have a hard time——he said firmly.

“Sorry.”

I wouldn’t be afraid if I could borrow Seoyeon’s skills.

Haktan smiled and said, “Don’t be too greedy.”

“Anyway, the gaze from the side is too intense, so I’m going to leave.”

“…? Got it.”

“See you later.”

This time I left.

And let Haktan leave completely.

Perhaps I was waiting outside, Seol-i came in right away.

‘For some reason, Haktan said that his gaze was intense….’

I felt a little sorry for Haktan and for making Seol-i wait.

– Shashak.

I just laughed when I saw Seol-i clinging to me quickly.

‘It’s cute.’

I was a little concerned about putting my hand on his shoulder without knowing it, but what.

“Ehehehe.”

… Things like that happen, too.

For some reason, I hugged Seol-i from behind and enjoyed the peace.

I quietly brought up a story about the voice behind my back.

“Seol-ah, do you remember the last battle in the war?”

“If it’s the final showdown… When Haktan awakens?”

“Yes.”

Of course Seol looked up at me shaking her head slightly as if she remembered.

I was very moved by that appearance.

Now the situation was not suitable in many ways.

‘My arm hurts too.’

“Did you see who was talking behind my back then?”

“Hmm, I didn’t see much at the time because I was watching the fight… I don’t think I heard the words.”

“Yes…”

Hmm.

First of all, Seol-i doesn’t know.

Well, Seolgi was in front of me and the voice was behind me.

At this point, I should ask Seoyeon——the moment I thought.

“No orcs really said anything at that point.”

“…Uh huh.”

“I don’t know if it’s a shout.”

Seoyeon appeared from behind and answered me.

No.

“When did you come in?”

“When you were blinded by Snow White.”

“Do you dare hide your presence?”

“It’s a bad habit.”

“…Is that so?”

It’s a bit meaningful because it’s not someone else, but a regressor.

“Ugh…”

Stroking Seol-i – The hand was moved by Seol-i himself – Soothing his surprised heart.

“Anyway, no one said anything behind your back, no orc.”

Seoyeon returned the topic that had been leaked due to her sudden appearance.

“I’m sure I heard a voice right behind my back…”

“Ummm…”

Seeing my confused expression, Seol-i tilts her head, and Seo-yeon wrinkles her forehead slightly.

‘What is it?’

In a situation where the more you think about it, the more uncomfortable you feel.

Seoyeon stopped my accident at the right time.

“What did that voice say?”

“Ah, um… the test on the first floor is almost over, Haktan was the king of the jungle, those were the stories.”

“You mentioned the first floor…”

While Seo-yeon was thinking, she was silent for a moment.

An experienced regressor put forward a hypothesis.

“That newly acquired power, the ability to borrow someone else’s memory, isn’t it?”

“Yes.”

“Probably borrowed power from Haktan, but didn’t something go wrong in the process?”

“Problems?”

“I mean—”

To my question, Seoyeon answered, showing off her regressor-like side for the first time in a while.

“It’s like an error that occurred when Haktan, the Great Warrior on the 1st floor, and Haktan, the manager, both connected to you at the same time.”

“Ooh.”

It seems plausible.

‘Rather, there is no possibility to think of anything other than this.’

If it wasn’t for this, wouldn’t I become a psychopath?

“In the first place, those abilities that borrow memories can erode the ego, so be careful.”

“Erosion?”

“It refers to the phenomenon of being overly assimilated to borrowed memories.”

… Uh?

‘Am I a psychopath?’

I was worried about that for a moment.

“Still, I think you’re fine with your strong ego.”

… Fortunately, the regressor seemed to be okay.

“Really?”

“Because I didn’t notice any change during the conversation.”

“I… Even heard of it.”

“That’s good.”

If the two closest to me are okay, there won’t be a big problem.

… It took me a while because the voice behind my back didn’t seem to be the lines Haktan would say.

For now, I decided to accept Seoyeon’s hypothesis and move on.

If I hear a voice behind my back next time, then I’ll have to seriously think about it.

That probably won’t happen.

Seonhwa Lee

The special dungeon was not easy.

The curse of instant death that shoots for a gap with the zombies that keep attacking.

Because the combination of these two was too difficult for me, who was still immature.

However, thanks to the advice of three people who passed through the special dungeon first – they did not tell us how they got there – I was able to quickly clear the dungeon.

And now, after receiving the reward in the reward room.

My chest was filled with an unknown fullness.

It is not simply the joy of receiving a reward.

This fills my heart… A higher level and sublime pleasure than that.

It was the joy of people who realized the way to go.

How can I compare this to anything else?

I lowered my head to check what was in my hand again.

Another reward besides the spear obtained in the reward room.

I didn’t know if this was what I wanted or if I would need it in the future.

Now it didn’t matter either way.

From the moment this ‘reward’ was in hand, what he had to do became clear.

I came out of the reward room before I knew it, and put the spear I was using on the floor.

I straightened her dress, tying her hair back.

Even though it’s an insignificant body.

It’s going to be an important day, so you’d better dress as neatly as possible.

After fixing the new window to the back.

Feeling a strange feeling as if the object in your hand is urging you to go quickly.

She moved towards her destination as if she was possessed.

To the place where there is light.

The right way to go.

[■ (E) -＞ Loyalty (D)]

… Holding the reward politely with both hands.

A day has passed since Lee Seon-hwa started attacking the special dungeon.

Haktan visited me again.

Of course, the purpose was a parasitic-enhanced version of ‘complete preparation’….

“Is this really true?”

“Yes.”

“It’s too small.”

What Haktan placed on my palm was not a piece of clothing, but a black scale the size of a thumb nail.

“Shouldn’t the ratio of scales be lower than that of clothes for a gisaeng?”

No matter how you look at it, scales are the main thing.

“It turned out that way after adjusting.”

“Hmm.”

It was a bit suspicious visual.

I trusted Haktan and infused magic into the scales as I heard the explanation.

Now then.

– Charalak!

The scales that absorbed magic replicated themselves and stretched.

Starting with the palms, I started covering the body.

“Oh.”

That’s how scales cover everything except the face and extremities.

It was very convenient to see if the function of ‘complete preparation’ remained as it was.

I wonder if the difference is that the scales are thinly attached to the outside.

It didn’t affect movement and didn’t seem to have any particular defensive function.

– Kang!

Haktan tapped my shoulder lightly, and the scales instantly hardened and blocked it.

“Mmm.”

“Was it a little too much?”

“No, that’s fine.”

‘Is it roughly similar to the skill ‘hardening’?

“That’s good. If you continue to inject mana, the scales will grow and your defense will increase.”

“Ohhh…Ah, Seol-ah, please.”

“Yes! Gather around!”

I saw the semi-transparent reflection in the mirror of the water floating in the air by Seol-i’s words and magical powers.

It was pretty cool indeed.

Maybe thanks to the scales all over the body.

Because it looked like a character who handles the power of dragons, which is common in novels.

‘… Even though it’s snake scales.’

Anyway, I personally like that, so I like it even more.

In addition, it was possible to issue simple commands through magic.

It was about undressing and dressing up now.

Somewhere I was freed from whining.

Besides, this fully prepared Mk.2 Can be worn under armor.

After wearing armor, it will show a pretty big difference in terms of defense.

‘I have high expectations from you.’

With that thought, let’s stomp our feet instead of our immovable arms.

– Charak.

… For some reason, the scales responded slightly.

“…Is this really not going to eat me?”

“Yes…probably.”

“…?”

“….”

I stare at Haktan at that uncertain answer.

Haktan averted his eyes.

… Haktan wasn’t like this.

“Whew.”

Well, if something happens, our regressor will be able to save it.

Now, isn’t it almost destiny with me?

Because I think so.

– Smart.

“Nam Hyun-woo, are you there?”

Like yesterday’s déjà vu, Seonhwa Lee knocked on the door.

And.

“Please come in.”

I opened the door without much thought.

It wasn’t long before I found myself in a very embarrassing situation.

… Driving me crazy.
