Reverse Rin(1)

A corner of a distant dimension.

Even the light of the sun was dim, and someone’s footprints were stamped on the unfamiliar ground, where the whole world was white with snow.

Subuck- Subuck-

“···it’s cold.”

The woman exhaled and brushed the snowflakes from her hair.

Brilliant blonde hair fluttered over a white winter coat, and blue eyes murmured nicely.

She, Estelle, straightened her coat and straightened her fancy hat.

“Do you have to come all the way here?”

-It is to awaken your ‘origin’.

The voice that resonates in my head makes my beautiful eyes frown.

During the test of ascension, the preliminary constellation is connected to the singularity and receives the ‘trial’.

In the process, you will be able to have conversations similar to small talk.

“How long do we have to do this…”

– Of course, until the awakening is over.

In order to become a Constellation, you must fully materialize your ‘source’.

To do so, three processes must be preceded: ‘awareness’ of one’s source, ‘polishing’, and ‘manifestation’.

Awakening takes as short as several months, and as long as decades, but Estelle completed ‘awareness’ in less than two weeks after taking the current exam.

Contrary to lamentation, Estelle’s speed was unprecedentedly fast.

-It is the source of ‘selection’… No matter how you think about it, it is a rare and unique source.

Estelle’s origin is ‘choice’.

Origin is a concept that symbolizes the constellation, but Estelle couldn’t figure out why her origin was like this.

I didn’t put much meaning into the element of choice.

Even when I asked the Singularity, he just said, ‘That, too, is fate’.

“I want to see Professor.”

If it was Yujin Kang, he would have answered everything clearly.

She missed the blunt professor so much today.

Then I got caught on a stone buried in the snow, and my body tilted.

As it was, Estelle fell facedown on the snow, her shoulders trembling.

“Cee…”

How many times is this?

For her, who went through more than 5 dimensions so far, she felt disgusted.

The reason for wandering is because of the ‘polishing’ that follows the process of ‘awareness’.

It was to polish his roots.

But how the hell do you polish the property of ‘choice’?

Since the correct answer was not fixed and the answer did not exist, she had no choice but to wander around the dimensions recklessly to find the answer.

growl-

“···hungry.”

She got up from her seat and moved forward, biting into the calorie bar she had brought with her.

At the moment when her annoyance was increasing, Estelle raised her head as she passed the snow-covered hill.

It was because of the tingling sensation that passed through the air.

“······!”

A tingling sensation in the lungs.

Sensing the demon, she hurried over the hill and could see the owner in the distant plains.

“It’s a witch.”

Estelle, who took out a sniper rifle, crawled on the spot and looked at the beasts with a scope.

The number is only tens.

There was one large snake, dozens of small lizards, and one shape resembling a human.

“Is that… Ouroboros?”

Estelle was familiar with the appearance of a huge snake that seemed to reach the sky.

Ouroboros, the ‘Snake of the World’, one of the four commanders of the Demonic Beast Army.

When I saw the snake that destroyed countless worlds, my dry sting went over.

– Hoo. you’re strong will you fight

“Sounds crazy. I have no intention of killing myself.”

The opponent is the commander of the army.

It was difficult for even quite a few Constellations to guarantee victory, but even if they tried, they would only suffer dog death.

It would be best to hurriedly avoid the spot now without being caught.

‘…that one?’

However, one object caught her attention.

It was something that looked like a large glass tube.

“It’s ‘Abyss’.”

A new weapon developed by a well-known ghost tribe.

It was assumed that Balthazar had been captured and could no longer be used, but standing in front of a snake…someone in human form seemed to handle it quite well.

“…I’ve changed my mind.”

If you leave it as it is, the Abyss will work again.

Having directly experienced the invasion of Helios, she had a keen sense of the power of the Abyss.

I couldn’t let her use that thing that could even break the dimensional barrier again. It would be pretty dangerous, but she decided to destroy the Abyss.

“Dimensional shift. Prepare.”

– I see.

Fortunately, she was far away from them, and with the help of the Singularity, escaping the dimension was nothing.

The torch is lit, and the flame begins to dwell in the sniper rifle with a built-in rotating body kit.

The moment he was about to pull the trigger loaded with a lethal bullet, aiming precisely at the abyss’ body shaped like a glass tube.

“······!”

The polite ‘human’ turned his head and looked at Estelle.

I fixed my startled gaze and looked at the scope again, but before I knew it, his figure had disappeared.

I hurriedly tried to follow him, but-

“You are an uninvited guest.”

“······!”

I hurriedly turned around at the voice I heard from behind and fired the revolver I pulled out.

Whoop-!

Bullets that erased gunshots with magic rushed toward the enemy.

I emptied all the chambers as it was, but the enemy was fine even with the attack containing the holy fire.

“·······.”

It looked like a person.

Black clothes and black masks.

And two pairs of ferocious eyes that glowed red like blood.

“A bold kid. What did you come here for?”

Estelle didn’t respond and raised her sniper rifle and fired.

Clap! A large-caliber bullet condensed with torches shot at him, but he quickly dodged it like a beam of light.

bang!

“Ugh…!”

Then Estelle rolled on the floor with a light punch.

She hurriedly tried to stand up, but the moment she raised her head, the enemy was already aiming at Estelle with a ‘revolver’ with a bizarre ink-colored shape.

Estelle stopped in the same position she was about to stand up and shot at the enemy.

“who are you.”

“That’s what I want to ask.”

Suddenly, the mask’s eyes narrowed.

“I don’t remember seeing you, so why do you have such a big ‘causation’?”

He put his face right in front of his nose and murmured in a hostile voice.

“Who the hell are you.”

*

When I wake up, I see an unfamiliar landscape.

While witnessing a completely different space from Avantrat, I checked Skadi’s condition.

“Are you okay.”

“Ugh… I guess so.”

Both of us were unscathed thanks to the timely deployment of the barrier.

However, the space spread out before my eyes… I have no way of knowing.

The space itself was cracked open, and the various landscapes were jumbled together.

Jungle, desert, plain, snowfield, etc.

Because of the rift that stretched to the sky, it was as if the whole world was shattered and looking at shattered glass.

“Mmm. Not good.”

“Do you know what it is?”

“It’s space-time glass.”

It was a difficult word, but looking back on my memory, I had seen it in a book before.

A phenomenon in which the flow of time and space is broken and mixed by powerful magical energy or waves of demonic energy.

In other words, it meant that the space-time of this place was distorted due to the powerful magic wave from just before.

“It’s dangerous.”

“Yes.”

Each of those fragmented spaces leads to different time and space.

If you move recklessly, you will be trapped in an unknown history.

“It’s strange. No matter how much you do, you can’t send a wave of this size to the other side of the dimension…?”

Skadi tilted her head, but somehow I thought I knew the culprit.

The culprit was clearly written as Ouroboros on the wristwatch, and the snake of the world had the ability to interfere with the ‘world line’.

“It must be Ouroboros.”

“But even his power isn’t enough to affect the entire dimension. That snake head alone… ah.”

Skadi exclaimed.

Perhaps he came to the same idea as me.

“…Abyss.”

The abyss created by Balthazar still remain with them.

If it were a device that reinterpreted and amplified demonic energy, it would be possible to send Ouroboros’ abilities to the other side of the dimension.

Originally, it wouldn’t be usable unless you were a ghost, but…

“The emperor must have helped.”

“Yes.”

Ouroboros will not be able to use the weapons of the ghosts, but the emperor will be able to use them.

Because he is the one who rules over all demons, not just anyone.

If the emperor had stepped up and activated the Abyss, this immense range of demonic waves would have been understandable.

“It’s disappointing. This is so large that it will take a while to recover.”

“First, let’s see if anyone can be reached.”

I don’t even expect communication magic.

I contacted Raniakea early on.

If nothing else, the contract between her and me transcends time and space.

‘Can you hear me?’

– Oh, Mr. Eugene! Are you okay?

A vague sense of urgency and worry lingered in the quick response.

To her hurried question, I answered calmly, meaning to calm down.

‘No need to worry. ‘Cause I’m fine.’

– Wait a minute. I’m going to get it now…

‘no. The escape will be from this side, so you help restore this isolated space while separating the source.’

I have Adeline’s Summoning Gate.

As long as the coordinates were set, the gate would overcome the physical distance constraints, so it was not necessary for Laniakea to come here.

Even though I had to move to a place where the coordinates were specified, it was a problem that I could do somehow from this side.

-···I know. Please be careful.

‘Yes.’

After cutting off communication, I told Skadi about the summon gate.

“Ah~ the last time? The one that flew all the way to Helios at once.”

“Yes.”

“It’s a good way, but I have to go through that road first…?”

Her perplexed gaze stared at the fragmented space-time.

A place where a completely different landscape is reflected between the broken spaces here and there.

Obviously, the time and place were also likely to be Jung-gu Heating.

“I don’t really recommend it. It’s too dangerous to pass through disjointed time and space.”

“What if it’s dangerous?”

“You get swept away by the current. Your body can become a crooked grandfather or a baby. Well, I think that’s worth seeing in its own way.”

She smiled, but frowned, which I didn’t really want to see.

“Of course I can fix that, but the problem remains.”

“What else?”

“You can’t find your way because you don’t know the coordinates.”

is it.

The coordinates of the twisted space-time are also jumbled, so it is very difficult to find a direction and move forward.

If you do it wrong, you might get lost and get stuck in it forever.

It’s dangerous, but as I said before, I have a contract with Laniakea.

If I synchronize my sense of direction with the strings of the contract by controlling the control of my mind, I will be able to fulfill the role of a compass.

“… it’s done.”

“Huh? What is it?”

“To find a way.”

I roughly explained the contract.

“Moore…synchronize the string of contracts with a sense of direction? Isn’t the premise completely different? How do you synchronize that?”

she said in a puzzled tone.

From a human standpoint, it’s like taking my eyes off me and transplanting them to a paper contract.

It was understandable that they were confused because it was like connecting animate and inanimate objects.

“I will be.”

“·······.”

But it’s possible, what can I do?

When he replied confidently, she suddenly burst out laughing after narrowing her eyes.

“Really. You were ‘Kang Yoo-jin’.”

“…if you learn this lecture well, you can do it too.”

“Huh. That’s fine. I don’t need to comfort you~”

Laughing, she created her magic and wrapped around the two of us.

As I said earlier, we built a barrier to protect us from the gap between time and space.

A barrier that fixes the space-time setting and isolates it with a distorted flow.

It was a magic of enormous difficulty, with vast spells and magical powers that continued endlessly.

Wiping the beads of sweat on her forehead, she said with a smirk.

“Then I’ll protect you as promised. Escort, do you have to be nice?”

“of course.”

Nodding my head, I grabbed her tail as it swayed in front of me.

This is probably a gesture of trust—

“Hihi ··

“I thought this was a gesture of trust.”

“Let it go, let it go… hey oops…”

She twisted her body with a strange moan, and when I let go of her tail, she turned on her twin wicks with a blushing face and exhaled breath.

“Don’t hold it tight. My tail is sensitive…”

“·······.”

Then what was holding my hand then?

She asked with a narrowed gaze, but she was intent on cooling off her excitement by hugging her tail.

“Phewuuu?

“···Yes.”

We stepped into the crack.

·······.

The place he reached through the crack was a remote forest full of darkness.

“Ugh. There’s a lot of pressure. It seems like a pretty dense time zone.”

She said she was sick, but her condition seemed to be better than before.

Skadi’s snow leopards like cool environments, as the temperature in the forest was just right for her.

“Do you know the direction?”

“Yes. Follow me.”

I diligently walked in the direction of the string attached to the contract.

Stepping on the dirt floor, traversing the forest.

I stared blankly at the trees passing by.

“But what are you looking around like that?”

“Because it seems familiar.”

I took a panoramic view of the forest.

The forest must be there, but it felt oddly familiar.

Just as I was about to raise my head with the sudden urge to check, she pulled me by the collar.

“Let’s go. People wait.”

“···Yes.”

people waiting.

Perhaps, they are referring to those who were in the classroom.

They must have been swept away by this wave as well, but the inside of the building is a fort with powerful protective magic attached to it, so unless they go outside, they will be safe.

Subbuck-

At that time, I felt a presence from a distance, so I hurriedly lowered my posture.

“What are you doing?”

“Isn’t it a big deal when you run into people?”

“Ahahahaha. You’ve seen too many movies.”

When she smiled, she patted my shoulder.

Apparently, this is a kind of bubble world, and even if we intervene in its history, nothing happens outside.

History doesn’t change, and the world doesn’t perish even if I run into myself.

Only in this ‘bubble’ is there a little commotion…

It is because of the law that even if you say that space and time are mixed, you cannot affect each other’s time zone.

“But… for a while.”

“It doesn’t matter if we run into each other?”

“Please be quiet for a moment.”

Still, my senses urged me not to let my guard down.

In a crisis situation, intuition is always reliable.

Because the country is a kind of warning system created by human experience.

I killed the presence with Skadi, and proceeded cautiously in the direction of the sound.

The presence gets louder and louder, and a sound is heard.

The sound of countless footsteps trampling on the ground.

Explosions and shouts… a faint shriek mingled between them.

“What, what? Did you fall on a battlefield?”

“·······.”

I ran through the woods without answering.

The sound grows louder, and the scene of flames and screams draws nearer.

And out of the woods, I finally saw it.

“This···.”

“·······.”

Many people were screaming and running away.

Beasts fly in the dark sky, and crude human vigilantes are sharded into pieces by the monster’s fire and claws and scatter as handfuls of blood.

It was a hell that should be called a father’s fight.

“Is the location you moved dependent on the subject’s memory?”

“Uh… there’s a theory that the caster’s mind affects it…?”

She bluntly raised her tail.

It meant that he didn’t even know.

But I was sure.

If the movement hadn’t been done based on memories… there’s no way this kind of scene would unfold before our eyes.

“Anyway, this seems to be my past.”

“·······.”

beyond the sights we gazed upon.

There, there was ‘Kang Yu-jin’ from the past who ran away with her younger brother.
