I Obtained a Mythic Item

ry the chains and looked for JaeHyun’s blindspot.
But JaeHyun’s strikes were unbelievably fast.

JaeHyun was using up his life energy to attack.
It was truly like the work of a devil.

Then at last— 

JaeHyun’s chain was faster than Jeong WooMin’s shield and went through.

‘Damn! I can dodge thi—’

Swoosh!

Four chains flew toward Jeong WooMin.
In such a perilous situation, he was unable to dodge JaeHyun’s attack in the end, and his body was pierced through by the chains.

Jeong WooMin became unable to move, and JaeHyun walked toward him.

“Keuk! Keuheuk!”

Jeong WooMin struggled against the chains, but JaeHyun—seemingly not wanting to listen to him any longer—lowered his raised arm.

Swoosh!

The sound of a chain was heard as it rushed through the air and pierced through Jeong WooMin’s chest.

“Keuheuk!”

A strike that accurately aimed for the heart.

After a short moment, Jeong WooMin’s body lost all strength.

“Everything…… is over.”

Although he won the fight, JaeHyun’s situation wasn’t all that good.

Having used up all of his mana to attack Jeong WooMin, he didn’t have even a single drop of mana left in his body.
His stamina had also been used up, so he couldn’t move at all.

 

“I just got a Mythic item…… yet I’m about to die in vain like this.”

His luck did seem really good lately.

JaeHyun calmly accepted his fate and closed his eyes.

Death.

He had been forced to stare such a fearsome death in the eye numerous times while working as a raider.

But now that he was facing it for real, 

‘It’s so cold.’

Under his hazy consciousness and the depths of the dungeon, JaeHyun closed his eyes.

 

一 A new operating system has been downloaded.
Would you like to run it?

 

***

 

一 Once the new operating system is run, all injuries will be healed and time will be regressed to the period the user most desires.

A strange voice from an unknown source was heard just before he lost consciousness.

As his mind became hazy, JaeHyun could not tell if the sound he was hearing was real or a hallucination.

But he clearly understood one thing that the voice wanted to convey.

“You’re… saying you can…… save me?”

He had to make the decision before he lost his consciousness forever.
JaeHyun squeezed out all the strength remaining in his body and mumbled at the voice ringing in his head.

‘Regress… was it? I don’t know what that means, but…’

“Okay.
Run it.”

The moment the words fell from JaeHyun’s lips, his body simultaneously fell to the floor.

 

一 The new operating system 《 Nornir System 》 has been run.

一 From now on, you are the 《 Adversary 》 of the high-and-mighty Aesir.

一 Acquired the passive skill 《 Absolute Eye of God 》.

一 The Gods against the Aesir are watching you.

一 Reverted time to the period desired by the user.

一 The current date is November 15, 2020.

一 ……succeeded in recovering 20% of your body’s status.
The restriction on non-combat activity has been removed.

一 New quest 《 Rest is the mother of success! 》 has been accepted automatically.

 

As he stopped feeling the tightening in his chest, JaeHyun opened his eyes.

“Huh?”

And in the next moment, he fell into deep confusion.

“What on earth… is this situation?”

JaeHyun sat up and looked around the bed he had been laying on.

A comfortable bed and pillow.
A warm atmosphere and room arrangement and the faint scent of coffee in the air.
A pair of old but still-wearable pajamas.
The uniform he wore in middle school hung up on the wall.

It was strange.
He was sure that a moment ago, he was dying after fighting against Jeong WooMin. 

JaeHyun pressed his temples with his thumbs to ward off his headache as he mumbled.

“Ha… Am I dreaming right now? I’m sure this is the old house we used to live in……”

But the thing he found hardest to believe was the quest window in front of his eyes.

“It’s not enough that I returned over 10 years back, there’s also a quest window?”

‘There were originally no quest windows in the Aesir System.’

JaeHyun stared blankly at the status window floating in the air.
He started to organize his thoughts to understand the situation he was facing.

‘Let’s start from the beginning.
First, I didn’t die in the fight against Jeong WooMin.
The reason is?

  Surely, it’s because of the new system.
Thanks to it, I’ve also returned to the past.’

 

Although it was hard to believe, JaeHyun accepted it right away.

It was a mentality trained beforehand from the appearance of Yggdrasil and monsters in 2011.

It wasn’t his first time experiencing such a weird situation, and if there was one thing JaeHyun had learned from going through circumstances like the current one—

It was the fact that quickly assimilating and making decisions was the most important.

‘If the information told by the system is correct, it is 11 years in the past.
The time I was in 3rd-year middle school.’

 

一 Reverting of time to the period most desired by the user has succeeded.

一 The operating system has successfully changed to 《 Nornir System 》.

 

A notification rang once more.

“Nornir…… Is that the name of the new system? Honestly, I don’t know what the hell any of this means… However.”

JaeHyun thought again and again.
What he was experiencing right now was a continuation of circumstances he couldn’t understand.

The betrayal by his father and Jeong WooMin.
His mother’s death 5 years ago.
A new operating system and returning to the past.
Circumstances that didn’t readily connect together.

“One thing is certain.”

JaeHyun clenched his fists as he looked at the calendar on his desk.
There, November 16 was encircled and a small reminder was written.

He did not have to read it.
JaeHyun already knew what it said.

 

Application Day for Millaes Academy!

PS: Must become a Warrior!

 

For the past several years, JaeHyun had regretted the choice he had made that day.

The application day for Millaes Academy.
The time he gave up being a Magician—which he had the talent for—and chose Warrior, a path he was ill-suited for.

JaeHyun’s mouth tilted up into a smile.
He erased the bottom line written on the calendar with a pen as he spoke.

“I won’t make the same mistake twice.”

It was a priceless chance he gained again.

JaeHyun planned to be a Magician this time.
