That Man’s 101st Bad Ending

Prologue



That man’s 100th bad ending

I hated rainy days.

Whenever I think of the day I died, it was the day when it was pouring rain.

The sound of rain in a damp, humid, stuffy space used to evoke emotions I had forgotten about.

Hearing the sound of rain coming from somewhere, he reflects on his situation.

Tried but failed. It is an unchanging fact that he could not achieve the purpose he had set for himself.

what number was it Remembering that number, you lower your head.

Aren’t you well aware that counting now is futile?

This life has been a mess. How many times have you not?

Suddenly, when I put my hand on the wall, a cold chill hit me.

As I caress the stone floor, where the chill of winter is radiating upwards, I soon realize that my feet are numb.

It’s frostbite, so I wondered why it didn’t take, but in fact, it must have already been.

He slumped in his seat, frowning at the excruciating pain.

I had been confined to a room so small that even getting up after sitting down was inconvenient, and at this point, I gradually realized my fate.

I thought maybe I would die here this time.

It was quite difficult to keep track of the time in this dark room with no windows.

I wouldn’t have known that if it wasn’t for the porridge that comes once a day.

Since the plate came 6 times, it is 6 days.

I twist my uncomfortable body around, and then I laugh a little at the sound of footsteps coming from above.

“Come now. I thought you would kill me in one day.”

The creaking sound of wooden planks pauses for a moment.

As if they heard my voice, the two pairs gradually accelerated and came close to my nose.

“You are so shameless. No, are you really unaware of your sins?”

A woman opened her mouth in the dark.

Even within the pitch-black curtain, the blue eyes that shone brilliantly with a radiance came to me like a winter wind and hacked at my whole body.

“Why don’t you be grateful that you saved me for a week? It’s disgusting just to face someone like you, how can I be grateful for it?”

Laughter leaks out of the eyes that look like bugs.

You really never changed. No matter what I do, no matter how the relationship has changed.

Her eyes used to cast such a cold stare towards the end.

Thank you for not killing me right away, even if I wanted to say something, my shoulders trembled at the blue eyes.

“…your fiancé has come to visit. Where would you like to say hello? It will probably be the last.”

I still can’t see that darkness.

However, other voices pouring towards me only let me know that the one in front of me was my fiancé.

“Robert.”

The sweet voice that said she would love me had now turned into a desolate voice with thorns.

If you ask me where I got screwed up, wouldn’t it be because of my life that I struggled to live in the end?

“All the days I spent with you…I regret it.”

It was a word I had heard dozens of times, so it didn’t hurt anymore.

“How nice it would be if I could erase the memories I had with you. Did you know that meeting you has ruined my life…?”

“Well.”

“All the rings and necklaces you gave me were melted down and thrown away. Why did you come to me, why would someone like you come and ruin me. Why on earth-!”

Because there is no place to leave any more scars in the heart that has already become cold and hardened.

I silently listened to her words and looked at the small vial of medicine in front of me.

Even in this darkness, the vial was shining brightly.

As if it was an elixir that would end all of this, I slowly felt at ease when I saw the vial clearly exuding a strong presence.

Is it poisoning this time?

I’d rather die at once.

When he raised his head, his eyes met Sogaju’s cold gaze as he embraced his sobbing fiancée.

He hated me, looked at me with disgust in his eyes, and slowly picked up the medicine bottle.

“If I eat this, will I die right away?”

“…I see you know what it is. It’s a wasteful medicine to give to a pitiful person like you, but I hope you atone for your sins, even with death.”

Seeing as he doesn’t even hide anything, the duke is probably well aware of this.

To be precise, he is the person who becomes my father, but what would he do with a problem child like me?

When I opened the cap of the medicine bottle, a fragrant almond scent spread. I know this because I’ve experienced it before.

At that time, I took the antidote and did not die, but this time, the poison ended my life.

Are you relieved? No, it can’t be.

But now it was all futile.

Even if I try to continue my life now, I realized that the fate given to me was such a miserable death.

100 times, the number of times I died and the number of times I struggled to live.

Close your eyes and feel the drug flow down your throat. A warm feeling spreads through my chest.

My heart beat faster, and I could feel the blood circulating through my body moving toward death.

Feeling a thousand fires boiling down my throat, I let out a cough.

What got on my hands was a sticky, thick liquid. It wasn’t hard to realize that it was blood.

probably die

Perhaps he had already fallen face down and was dying, clinging to the cold ground.

The cold, chilly sensation makes the mind go crazy.

And, really funny, the voice of the god of death, which is always heard when facing death…was a very sweet voice.

[You have reached your 100th bad ending.]

[What you want is an improvement in all relationships and a life without even a single regret.]

[I will ask before starting the 101st round.]

[Are you really, still hoping for the same thing?]

This reaper, who came to visit me right before death, was quite kind to me.

I turn back time until I achieve what I so longed for.

Even if my life was riddled with sins, once I died, if I turned back time, it would always go back to the time when I hadn’t committed any sins.

Listen to that voice and think.

Do I really want to live?

Dozens of deaths, those cruel and cold eyes looking at me.

Am I ready to endure it again? Now I’m sick of it. I can’t stand it.

No matter what I do, my existence will be worse than that of a bug, so why do I go through several lives again?

Before starting the 101st life, the only thing I wished for in my dim consciousness was one request.

Please let this damn relapse come to an end.

May it be the eternal rest that comes after this.

[The 101st round begins.]

The clear voice in my ears felt like the voice of a cruel devil more than anything else.
