The Regressor Wants To Stop Becoming Stronger

The ‘Chamber of Truth’ was a sort of trial for the GMs to judge the authenticity of the players.

Whether or not to accept this was purely personal, but the higher the level, the higher the difficulty of ‘The Room of Truth’.

In other words, the difficulty is the lowest at the lowest level.

‘Besides, Kihael is the style of an office worker who is not ambitious.’

Kihael was not the type of researcher who actively digs up problems and seeks the truth.

First of all, I had a personality that I wished there were no problems when I was in charge.

A propensity to prefer covering things in moderation rather than making things bigger.

‘Now that I’m at the Tuto level, the effective time for correcting the truth must be one minute.’

Below level 30, in the room of truth, the truth crystal is only effective for 1 minute.

“Can I broadcast it?”

“I have no authority to stop a player from playing legally.”

Cha Jin-hyeok opened a channel.

I also didn’t know the proper title, so I just made it simple.

[Enter the ‘Room of Truth’.]

Viewers began to enter.

It quickly surpassed 8,000 people.

It was very unusual and special that 8,000 people entered a room with a capacity of 8,400 people in less than 5 minutes after turning on the broadcast, but Cha Jin-hyuk did not know that fact.

I just thought that the early buff worked well and a lot of viewers came in.

“GM quest, I will accept it. What kind of quest is this? They asked me if I was a regressor.”

[You have accepted the GM quest, ‘Room of Truth’.]

Cha Jin-hyeok said right away.

“I don’t know what it is, but I’m not a regressor.”

Timing was important.

A state where the ‘truth fix’ has not yet been revealed.

Even if Cha Jin-hyeok lies, I cannot determine whether my words are true or not.

Soon after, the ‘truth fix’ appeared.

It was a purple crystal that floated in the air and rotated rapidly.

If you lie, that purple color turns red.

Cha Jin-hyeok asked without knowing.

“What is that?”

“Truth correction. If you lie, it turns red.”

“Am I a woman?”

The crystal turned red.

I don’t know the principle, but it’s so amazing to see it again.

“Really?”

“Even if it hadn’t changed, it would have been fun.”

“I’m handsome?”

It was purple.

It was a joke to pass the time, but he didn’t respond.

“What? Are you making a value judgement? Can a proposition like this be true or false?”

“… … .”

I didn’t feel bad because it was purple, but I couldn’t understand the principle.

Anyway, I came to the conclusion that he was a good guy.

Cha Jin-hyeok spoke again.

“therefore? What truth should I reveal?”

I spent about 20 seconds deliberately talking nonsense, so now I have about 40 seconds left.

Kihael spoke quickly.

“Tell me. How are you adapting to the beta service like this? Like you know everything, you’re using GM calls to control the situation.”

“Mmm.”

After waiting a little longer, he said.

“I know about the Great Prophet.”

“The Great Prophet?”

“I don’t know, so claim it. I’m acting as a great prophet in a community. It’s like a preemptive awakener who awakened faster than me.”

There are a few people who have awakened before the cataclysm.

People who awakened faster than the pre-awakeners playing in the beta service.

In the future, they will be called beta testers.

Among them was the great prophet Kim Shin-won.

“Anyway, he posted a lot of data while pretending to be a prophet.”

Of course, the views were disastrous.

Usually, in the writings he leaves, things like ‘Concept-chungung’, ‘I’m sick and tired’, or ‘Concept-quality is a bitch.’

There were ridiculing comments running around, but even those were recently unplayable.

After a very long time passed, the writings left by Kim Shin-won were re-examined, and Shin-won Kim began to gain fame.

“You can see it here.”

Cha Jin-hyuk took out his cell phone and showed it.

Among the writings left by Kim Shin-won, there was also a ‘manual’.

“There is a player manual, and I just read it beforehand.”

Crystals are still purple.

“Did you know that beforehand? Why?”

“Are you preparing for the future?”

purple.

“The fact that monsters will appear, that the tutorial field appears, that the security is messy and that the market is messed up, well, it’s not very specific, but it’s roughly all written.”

The rotation speed of the Truth Crystal gradually slowed down.

It meant that the time for the Truth Crystals to work was almost over.

“I knew the future.”

purple.

“And finally, today has come.”

still purple.

Eventually, the rotation of the Truth Crystal stopped.

Kihael nodded and murmured.

I took out a notepad and jotted down something.

“The prophecy of the great prophet, I knew the future through him, and I prepared well for today.”

Kihael absorbed the memo he had written into the crystal and opened his mouth.

“I will begin the final inspection. View past records.”

[View past records.]

[View keyword: ‘regression’]

I read Cha Jin-hyeok’s records for the last 3 years using administrator rights.

If it was a high-level section, it would have read 10 years instead of 3 years, and the search keywords would have been diverse.

It was a procedure to check Jin-Hyuk Cha’s past records to see if he mentioned the word ‘return’.

[As a result of reading past records, the awakening name ‘Kim Cheol-soo’ has never mentioned or confessed to ‘regression’. There are no suspicious records.]

Kihael nodded in satisfaction.

Soon, light began to leak from the crystal.

The truth was deciphered and the final certificate was printed.

‘done.’

The Chamber of Truth is a kind of trial, and the ‘principle of double jeopardy’ applies.

Once a case has been dealt with, it is not dealt with again.

The Truth Crystal printed out a piece of paper like a printer.

Kihael looked at the paper first and handed it to Jinhyeok Cha.

──────────

Kihael touched the crystal with his hand.

Another copy of the certificate of authenticity with the same content was printed out.

It was a certificate for reporting to the upper level.

‘Even if I’m a regressor, he doesn’t seem to care much.’

Anyway, the system read Cha Jin-hyeok’s truth, and Kihael fulfilled his duties as a GM.

That was the only thing that mattered to Kihael.

Cha Jin-hyeok let out a sigh of relief.

‘It passed more easily than I thought.’

I was worried about when and at what timing to clear the ‘Room of Truth’, but thanks to Kihael, it was solved in one shot.

Kihael seemed to be in a better mood.

“Have fun playing, customer.”

And it’s gone.

* * *

As I slowly descended the stairs of the police station, I saw a familiar face.

“brother!!!”

It was Cha Jin-sol.

He was screaming loudly and running towards me, but he avoided himself because he thought that close skinship would happen if he made a mistake.

Fortunately, there was no misfortune of being in close contact with the mother and daughter.

Cha Jin-sol did not come alone.

I was with two men who were well-dressed in suits.

“who… … ?”

“hello.”

“hello.”

Two men each handed me a business card.

They were lawyers belonging to the global conglomerate ‘Google Face’.

Two very competent lawyers came.

“Wow, company welfare is good.”

To assign two lawyers to a new employee who joined the company only a few months ago.

I heard that Cha Jin-sol is a more competent and promising person than I thought.

I didn’t quite understand.

“If that’s the case, I’ll attach a bodyguard right away.”

“I couldn’t help it because there was not enough security personnel.”

It’s harder to find a bodyguard than a lawyer these days.

Anyway, I had a good talk.

“… … So, I just came out without any problems.”

“thank god. I’m really glad.”

“Are you worried?”

“Are you crazy? worry about you.”

If you’re going to say something like that, don’t show the tears in your eyes.

If you’re going to have tears hanging in your eyes like that, warm up your words.

Anyway, it was a strange creature.

‘Why is he so worried about me?’

I would have been very shocked. Is such a rational judgment possible?

In the case of most beginners, it is common to hide from the scene and tremble in such a case.

I could fully understand that he had just run away that way home and was crying profusely.

Even so, when he came to his senses and came to the police station with his lawyer, it seemed that he had a fairly strong heart.

‘There was almost no interaction with me for 7 years.’

Despite reaching 50,000 hours, I hardly met anyone.

I think I talked to him on the phone about once a month, and I actually met him maybe twice a year.

Even that is all that he came to eat with me.

Suddenly, Jinsol Cha came to mind before returning.

The figure at the time when it was turned into a cold corpse by Jeon Nam-gil.

It’s a memory I don’t want to recall again, but it keeps coming back from time to time.

‘Even though I’m affectionate, I have to be affectionate.’

But why is he more affectionate?

He doesn’t interact with me, and that doesn’t mean I’m a good older brother.

Of course, I plan to do well from now on, but I haven’t done anything good yet.

In his eyes, I’d just be a pathetic spine breaker.

I wondered if this was family, so I was alone.

Jinsol Cha said bluntly.

“Where are you hurt?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“Really not?”

“Is there?”

No matter how fragile I was as a streamer, I couldn’t get hurt fighting those punks.

Do I look that weak?

You shouldn’t hurt your pride, but you keep hurting your pride strangely.

“You’re hurt!”

If you look closely, you can see that the back of my hand is slightly burnt.

I don’t know if this was injured in a fight earlier or if it was swept away.

I wondered if this could be called an injury, but from his point of view it seemed to be classified as an injury.

“Stay still. I will treat you.”

“it’s okay.”

How are you going to live in this harsh world because you are so sensitive?

… … I thought, but he suddenly used a beginner heel.

It wasn’t a great skill, but it was quite effective for such small abrasions.

Judging from the quick healing of his wounds, it seemed that he had considerable talent and skill.

“Are you awakened?”

“uh. no?”

“No, it’s not okay.”

“Everyone around me is awakening.”

The future has changed a bit.

As far as I know, Cha Jin-sol had no record of awakening as a player until the point of his death.

‘what?’

It doesn’t matter how the future changes.

Rather, I will actively change the future.

if it helps me

But the fact that my family’s future had changed somehow bothered me.

‘A relayer’s gaze.’

I looked through the information and started seeing strange things.

[LV18/Baby Shark/Blood Priest/Skill/Thousand Days’ Prayer]

It was just one line of information, but it was full of strange things.

‘Baby shark?’

Baby Shark was the only regular viewer of my show.

It was like the nickname of that angelic viewer who silently supported and supported me for several years.

Could it be a coincidence?

… … I thought it was, but it was too vague to just ignore it.

‘I’ve been a big supporter since the last few months.’

It was, after all, after he joined Google Face.

But again, Cha Jin-sol is not that friendly and kind to me.

‘Let’s just pretend it’s not for now and move on.’

I decided not to ask and ask.

It felt like opening a Pandora’s box that shouldn’t be opened.

It seemed like we would get awkward with each other, and sometimes it seemed that there were things that were better left unnoticed.

‘But a blood priest?’
