Regression Is Too Much chapter 1

1 – Regressors too weak (1)

“f*ck! Where are you!”

I woke up to a loud noise coming from somewhere. Is there a drunken person going on a rampage outside the house?

“Ugh… It’s the head… “

I grabbed my throbbing head and carefully raised my body halfway up.

My whole body aches like crazy. Did you drink and sleep outside yesterday? No. I even remember pressing the passcode on the front door.

When I forcibly opened my eyes after removing the mucus that was sticking to my eyes, what I saw was not a room I was used to, but a number of people like me, waking up.

My back was wet with water, so I groped around and found that the place where I was lying was a moist dirt floor. Except for the commonality of being soft, it can be seen that it is about 50,000 light years away from the bed.

Come to think of it, there are too many trees around. Too much.

“… Sup. Under.”

As soon as you take a deep breath, you can feel the clear and clean air. Should I say it tastes like phytoncide?

I don’t know where this is, but it’s definitely not Korea.

A large clearing surrounded by trees. A lot of people sitting in it.

“f*ck! Where is this?! I’m getting consent for this!”

Did they say that if people are too stupid, they won’t be able to speak? Except for the bald man who gave out a groan, no one made a sound.

“What… f*ck… What… “

At the time the radiant man was gasping for breath, tired of the grass.

Byong!

With a cute sound effect, a winged child-like being appeared.

“Hello! You lowly human beings who are wasting their lives in exasperation! Nice to meet you!”

A guy who greets you cheerfully. However, the sharp teeth that are occasionally visible whenever he speaks are as sharp as those of a predator.

I came to my senses in an unfamiliar place, and there were other people besides me who seemed to have been dragged… Now, winged fairies are coming out too?

This situation. I’m used to it somehow No, I’m not used to it, to the point of being clichéd.

“You are the fairy of the tutorial in the webtoon… “

Someone muttered.

He is right.

What floats overhead is a tutorial fairy that everyone is familiar with.

The very fairy of the tutorial that will explode your head at the slightest irritation.

“… “

I shut my mouth that had been stupidly open without realizing it.

If I talk nonsense, I might be the unfortunate victim of my head exploding in the prologue.

Perhaps there were many people who thought the same as me, the atmosphere in the clearing became heavy.

“Uh… hmm… let’s not come… “

The bald man with a belly, who seemed to have something to say, looked around and sat down cautiously.

People sitting in their seats like a herd of well-behaved sheep.

Perhaps he doesn’t like our behavior, the fairy in the tutorial mumbled dissatisfaction.

“… Hmm. Is there anyone who would like to speak up? Or even constructive feedback? Now, are you willing to consider it positively?”

The fairy in the tutorial walked around and made eye contact with people as if her hands were itching.

However, rather than fighting against the fairy, people tend to look away from him.

“… Everyone seems to know us well now, right? Not like a lowly human being, are you good at grasping the subject?”

He was a guy who tried to provoke himself, but…

Unfortunately for the fairies, there was no stupid person in this clearing who could provide anything worth popping off the head with.

“… Heeing. We have to follow the procedure.”

A visibly depressed fairy. It seems that popping people’s heads in tutorials was the joy of life.

“… I’ll just give you the essential explanation and skip it? I don’t want to do it either, but it’s a procedure, so I can’t help it.”

The fairy slowly began to explain in a voice mixed with annoyance, sadness, and annoyance.

To sum up the fairy’s words… God has grown tired of the recent arrogant behavior of humans, and Earth has risen to God’s judgment.

Humanity has been driven to a position where it has to prove its usefulness, and the means is to climb this tower.

We are the chosen humans summoned to climb the tower.

It was the setting of a tower climbing object that I had seen many times before.

Roughly, climb the tower if you don’t want to go through everything! Because it was the content.

“So, one of you has to clear the 66th floor of this tower. Or humanity will perish. You know?”

“… “

People nodding their heads cautiously without speaking.

“Okay, since I’ve roughly finished the background explanation… Grab what you like here… “

A fairy who drops a lot of various weapons in the middle of the clearing.

“Because the system will give you detailed explanations… Start tutorial!”

The guy flicked his wrist roughly and then jumped! It disappeared with a cute sound effect.

Even after the fairy disappeared, there was an awkward silence.

“What the f*ck… I can’t even use my cell phone…”

“Isn’t this hidden camera? I saw a YouTuber making an octopus game set… Isn’t it similar… “

“I hear there have been multiple disappearances recently… Aren’t they related?”

Only then do people start whispering cautiously.

He was pouring out things he couldn’t say because he was overwhelmed by the atmosphere.

“… Under. f*ck.”

I also spat out a small swear word.

I was at home until I went to sleep, but when I woke up, I was summoned to the tower.

I understood in my head that the story in the novel or webtoon had become a reality, but I have to say that I still can’t feel it.

I tried to pinch my cheeks like a cartoon character, but I stopped because it seemed stupid.

“… Did you really enter the tower?”

If this tower is similar to the novels I’ve read so far… There will be various dangers lurking outside this clearing. God’s malice prepared to take my life.

From now on, I must risk my life. The realization of that fact seemed to intensify the headache.

“Whoa… Think positively.”

Even if you get bitten into a tiger’s den, you can live if you stay alert. Being depressed doesn’t help anything. Now is the time to think and make plans for the future.

In Tower’s tutorial, how do the main characters usually behave?

“… It’s the Tower’s tutorial.”

Speaking of a tower tutorial, there was one entity that naturally came to mind.

An existence that is inextricably linked with the Tower. It’s like taiyaki and red bean paste or hot dogs and ketchup.

“The state is different!!!!!!”

As if there was a man who had the same thoughts as me, the cry of ‘status window’ resounded loudly in the empty lot.

“What… Why is that student like that… ?”

“Did I eat something wrong?”

Middle-aged ajumma and uncles who don’t know ‘top climbing’ looked at the man as if they were crazy, but young people who knew the related cliché paid attention to the man’s mouth with some expectations.

“It’s up! It’s up! The status window popped up!”

The man who shouted the status window screamed and cheered like a striker who had even scored a goal.

“Status window!”

“Changing the status!”

“Sang! Womb! Window!”

And those who saw the reaction and shouted at the status window here and there as if they had been waiting.

“… Status window.”

I also muttered at the status window with less notice.

[Name: Junho Kim] [LV:1]

[Attribute]

-Regression [EX]

A transparent message window with a familiar shape floating in front of your eyes.

It is embarrassing to call it a status window. I don’t think there should be at least some stats.

But there was something else that I noticed.

“… Return?”

I forcibly moved my trembling fingers and pressed the word [Return].

-Regression [EX]

-Return to the point where you first entered each floor. There is no limit on the number of times.

A very concise explanation.

But those who have read web novels will know. The simpler the explanation, the more fraudulent the law.

“It’s up!”

I couldn’t hold back my joy and screamed.

Return by death. If you are asked to choose a fraudulent ability, it is an ability that always comes out.

Returning to the past after death was no different from being invincible.

The point is that you can return to the past with information from the future.

I was given the opportunity to constantly become stronger.

Of course, people with death return abilities usually roll like crazy.

Wouldn’t it be hard to roll forward? Wouldn’t that be better than dying forever?

This ability is virtually invincible as long as your mental power allows it. I am chosen.

I am the main character.

I am the hero who will conquer this tower and save the earth.

A sense of exhilaration spread through every corner of his body. It was difficult to control the tremors.

“Wow!”

I jumped up from my seat and ran out toward the grass in front of me.

A goblin? Oak? Ask me to see anything.

I am invincible and my ability to return is god.

From noble mtl dot com

The moment I was about to run through the grass like that.

“Ouch.”

The leaves must have been quite sharp, and my ankle was cut by the grass, and blood dripped from it.

It’s okay. It’s a minor wound. For now, information gathering is a priority.

I had to check what was out there.

No. Let’s stay calm. I was so excited.

Come to think of it, my hands were empty. I realized that I had run out without even picking up my weapon.

Go back now, even if it’s just a sword…

“Huh?”

[Damaged.]

[Return to the moment you first entered the 0th floor.]

One sack….

Han…

I just lost my mind.

***

“f*ck! Where are you!”

My head is pounding like crazy.

A familiar voice. It’s that old man

Instinctively, I realized that I had regressed. Because it’s something I’ve been through before.

But why? When did i die?

Could there be poison in that thick grass?

However, it was not painful at all to die from poison, and his mind was fine until right before he returned.

Then did you return because of something other than death?

Just before returning, I remembered the message I had seen passing by.

[Damaged.]

[Return to the moment you first entered the 0th floor.]

Damaged… Have I been harmed?

I don’t remember being hit by anyone.

“No… probably not… “

No way… Did it come back because of the slight cut in the grass?

Just a drop of blood came out?

Instinctively, I looked around the empty lot.

Green here too.

It’s also green over there.

The moment you leave the clearing, the grass is so thick that you can’t see the ground.

It can be seen as a living prison made of grass and trees.

If… Seriously, if you could regress just by being cut by grass…

“… f*ck.”

Even escaping this clearing… It seems very difficult.
