Chapter 256
Episode 256: Roll-Back
Jang Hyeon-deok is naturally taller than me.
About 10cm? However, Jang Hyeon-deok, who was supporting me from behind at that time, was clearly not about 10 cm tall, but bigger than that. 20cm? No, I felt like I was being held in the grip of a monster that was several hundred meters tall, not like I had grown a few centimeters taller.
Or the feeling of being bitten into the mouth of a huge monster and becoming prey about to be chewed up.
It is as if he has been forcibly raised, rather than supported.
Even in that situation, I was angry.
If I had any magical power left, I would have been able to apply some magic to it. shit.
If he had been able to interact with the barrier installed on Jang Hyeon-deok’s body, he might have been able to deal a decisive blow to that guy. However, I had exhausted all my magical energy to attack the [Mountain Predator].
That’s why I say, ‘You son of a bitch!’ or ‘Let go!’ I shouted out a few words and swung my fist at the face of the monster holding me.
As expected, the bastard in Jang Hyeon-deok’s body did not move even after being punched by me, and perhaps to upset me, he said the following.
‘You swung your fist at me, but it couldn’t produce any meaningful effect.’
I don’t remember exactly what curse I swore at him, but I clearly remember what he said next.
‘no. That’s not what I meant. If you convert the damage you can inflict on me with your bare hands into points, it is about 1 to 4 points. On top of this, you get -1 point for the penalty trait [Weaken in Close Combat], and -1 point for [Unfavorable Stance]. And currently, [Status Abnormality: Exhaustion]. Then again -1 point. That means the maximum damage you can inflict is 1 point.’
I cursed violently again, but he continued talking without even a smile on his face.
‘However, Jang Hyeon-deok receives +1 natural armor when possessed. If you want to hit me even one point, you need to change your position or get out of the exhaustion state. Of course, even so, I will use a Strength check to block your attempt to change posture, and due to the exhaustion penalty in body size gap correction, this will automatically succeed.’
As I write this down, I feel a new anger rising again.
Those words and actions, words lightly thrown away, the feelings I felt with my own skin at that time, and the information printed in the message window.
Since I don’t know how all of this will be used later, I am writing it down in unnecessary detail for now.
He wrapped his left arm around my shoulder and neck, as if to prove his point that he would thwart any attempts to change position.
His arm moved more like the tentacle of a terrible monster than a human arm, and I was no longer able to even struggle.
‘I will deal with them one by one in order of importance.’
After saying that, he raised his right hand and pointed at the [Mountain Predator].
[The Predator in the Mountains] still had a surreal and high-dimensional appearance, but for some reason, at that moment, I felt a strange sense of heterogeneity, as if the [Predators in the Mountains] were embarrassed.
‘I guess that’s too much, right? This is an unexpected situation that was beyond my intention. Anyway, the goal is to provide challenges that can be cleared.’
I tried to give him some reply, but he spoke again without waiting for my reply.
‘It’s not possible. The warning has already been given. ‘You are the one who turned away.’
This may not have been said to me. He was speaking into space, as Tudor often did. I couldn’t hear the voice of the person talking to him, but the other person was probably a [Mountain Predator], right?
‘I agree with you on that point. The power you have now was obtained through your previous achievements.’
[The Predator in the Mountains] expressed a certain meaning, and the one inhabiting Jang Hyeon-deok’s body answered.
‘The same abyss? That’s funny. Did you think that we and you were of the same rank? I think the [supper offering] that is being held by me right now is more amazing than you.’
[Predator in the Mountains] again expressed a certain meaning.
‘Within the rules, you have already been defeated. If it weren’t for this reckless intrusion, your last incarnation would have been repelled by the [Feast Offering]. And again you lost. Since you broke the rules, you deserve a foul. And again you lost. Even after revealing its enormous true body, this [supper offering] was not defeated by you. He bared his teeth and raised his claws to hurt you.’
[Predator in the Mountains] once again expressed a certain meaning. I could somehow sense the surreal bewilderment he expressed.
‘no. Damage amount is not important. You have already proven that you are not worthy of your present status. I will banish you from our table in accordance with the authority handed down to me by a long-standing oath.’
A voice falling decisively. At the same time, I feel a buzzing tinnitus. [Predator in the Mountains] seems to express a certain meaning that humans cannot perceive. Maybe it wasn’t a scream?
‘no. It doesn’t become its original form again. It will be less than that. When you come to your senses, find a place to rest your miserable body.’
Wood-duk-
What did they do?
Near Jang Hyeon-deok’s head? No, an unpleasant bursting sound came from the corner of my throat.
It sounded like a bone breaking.
What did that bastard do with Jang Hyeon-deok’s body at that time? Goosebumps appear in my ears. Something gruesome is going on behind my head.
However, I did not have the right to confirm the action, and could only confirm the results that the action caused.
[System: Activates the unique characteristic ‘Delete Object;’ of ‘Existence of the Abyss: |\|`/a®|_a†|-|◎+ëP’.]
[System: ‘Abyssal Presence: Predator in the Mountains’ has been removed.]
[System: Reboot the world to completely remove remaining data.]
Pot.
And with a hollow sound like a channel turning, the [Mountain Predator] that was covering the entire sky disappeared.
Drawn by the gravity created by [Mountain Predator], everything that soared into the sky begins to fall to the ground.
has disappeared.
When I told it to disappear, that huge thing just disappeared.
The whole thing was a joke on a cosmic level, a pan-dimensional comedy.
The dark side that dragged me into this terrible world?
You want revenge?
Isn’t this more than God? Is there any way for me to confront someone like this?
At that time, I couldn’t help but burst out laughing, and I felt the guy holding me behind me slowly extend his head and look down at me.
A being that exists in a much higher dimension than me is looking down on me. He is looking down at me with a gaze that shows no emotion, or rather, an expression filled with emotions that I, who belong to a lower dimension, cannot understand.
And around that time, I heard the sound of things that the [Mountain Predator] had lifted into the sky hitting the ground.
thud. A crackling, crackling noise.
And the sound of a person’s body exploding.
Surprised by that terrible sound, I was shocked and regained my senses a little.
Perhaps it was waiting for that, but the monster in Jang Hyeon-deok’s body spoke in a voice that seemed to be offering the greatest mercy.
‘We could continue like this, but some of the problems he caused could cause significant difficulties in the future.’
A sweet, sweet whisper in my ear.
His voice penetrated into my ears like a fine feather, passing through my eardrums and tickling the inside of my brain and skull.
And he continued talking.
‘To resolve this widespread problem, we will restore some of the events that occurred to an earlier point in time.’
A tone of voice that seems to be saying thank you.

Then he looked at me for a moment and then spoke slowly. That was the question.
‘How is it? Would you like to continue the challenge?’
I thought it was a somewhat odd question, but now that I think about it, I think it was a question to gauge how broken I was as a [supper sacrifice].
Maybe if I had given him an answer he didn’t like, this [game] might have ended there.
I don’t know what answer he wanted, but here’s what I said.
‘Did I ask if you were going to keep trying? So in this game? I?’
I’m going to die anyway.
Even if you live without dying, if you continue like this, you will wander around and be crushed somewhere in the darkness of this world, being swayed by this monster.
And other than now, I probably won’t have the chance to interact with this guy like this again.
That’s why I spoke without stopping.
‘Someone said that it was you who turned [Cthulhu World] into a network game, right? you. You bastard! ‘You ruined this game!’
His forearms that were binding my neck and shoulders twitched a little. This certainly seems to have been a reaction he didn’t expect.
‘I ruined this world? ‘I wonder what reason led to that conclusion.’
The question came back.
Sarcasm, dismissal, sarcasm, anger, meaningful hints that seem to have a grander plan, or just saying it’s game over, etc… … .
Of all the reactions I expected, this was my favorite. Having gained some confidence, I kept pushing.
What is the most embarrassing situation for game operators?
I know what it is.
‘You want to restore it to a previous point? Are you saying you’re going to back me now? Are you going to roll back this situation?’
‘That’s right. It means that I will resolve this unexpected problem and unstable situation for you.’
‘Don’t talk nonsense! ‘Give me my experience!’
He fell silent for a moment at my words. I think it was not a bad choice after all.
‘Did you say experience points?’
‘okay! My experience! Where is the operator who clears the field name that the player is hitting? I was close to catching it, but I couldn’t because of you! The experience points and achievements I should have received! And give me a reward!’
‘… … ‘You were on the verge of catching it?’
You almost died, right? He could have said that, but he still maintained his usual speaking style and spoke politely.
This also meant that there was a gap I could dig into.
‘okay! I couldn’t catch you because you got in the way! And what? Baekseop? ‘What kind of absurd operation is this!’
Once I opened my mouth, words came pouring out.
It may have been because I had just seen such an outrageous scene that I was completely paralyzed by fear or common sense.
‘Everything is ruined because of you, so give me compensation! Don’t act like Baekseop and just keep going like this! And the problem? Is that my business? ‘Recover on your own while providing live service without Baekseop!’
After listening to me for a while, a low laugh eventually came out of his mouth.
To be honest, my first thought was, ‘Oh, he’s dead now.’ But it wasn’t a laugh with that meaning.
Looking back now, I don’t know what he actually meant when he burst into laughter, but he laughed like a human being in a fun and enjoyable situation.

“Shinhwa.”
A voice suddenly interrupts the flow.
This is Heo Sang-hyun.
“Um, what’s going on?”
“I have prepared a meal for you. “Let’s eat.”
“yes? Now? “What time is it now?”
“It’s been six hours since lunch time.”
Ugh, the voice is still gentle, but the content is thorny.
“Has it already been that long? No, wait. “It just means it’s dinner time, right?”
In the end, Heo Sang-hyeon came down the stairs with a frown.
“You haven’t had breakfast or lunch, have you?”
“Uhm, I ate it.”
“You ate it?”
Heo Sang-hyun approaches me, looking straight into my eyes.
“Something like snacks… … .”
“That’s not a meal. welcome.”
“Ah, I get it. Wait.”
Anyway, I can’t write a diary anymore. I gestured toward the table.
Clap la la la rock-
The notes and books spread out on the table take off, their covers flapping like wings. And the books that were flying around in a dizzying manner finally land in the places they are supposed to be.
at last.
In the end, Baekseop came true just as he had declared.
So, this means that this world has been forced to be restored to the time before the [Mountain Predator] descended.
‘I’m so glad it was restored… … .’
Honestly, it would have been extremely difficult if we had actually proceeded without restoration. Because what I wanted was compensation, not force.
And I got what I wanted.
