SSS-Class Revival Hunter-Chapter 107 - 1DAYS (2)
Chapter 107: 1DAYS (2)
Lady Silver Lily didn’t react for a while.
“What?”
“Think about it. You’ll be able to tell exactly what I’m thinking of right now since you’re a regressor like me.”
Lady Silver Lily placed her chin on her hand, eyebrows furrowed as she fell into thought. Soon after, her eyebrows rose in realization. “I see.”
“Right.” I knew she would figure it out.
“But, Gong-Ja, it’s dangerous. This is no different from gambling.”
“That’s why we’ve practically won already. This is an error made by the Tower. We’re in an extremely advantageous position, so all we have to do is point the error out.”
“...There is one more problem.” Lady Silver Lily glared at me. “I won’t be able to remember you.”
“It’s okay. I’ll solve it, whatever that takes. But, if I can no longer leave this world on my own, please help me say ‘Send me back.’ That’s all I ask, Raviel,” I said. “Please trust me.”
Lady Silver Lily was silent for a while.
“Okay.” She came closer. “I became your first asshole, so you’ll be my last asshole as well. Life has a way of giving back what you put in.”
Lady Silver Lily grabbed my chin. “I ended up with a real bad boy for a lover.”
And then she kissed me. I quietly received Lady Silver Lily’s breath.

During the last try, something strange had stood out to me as soon as I saw the Inquisitor after he had been consumed by the role of Lady Goldencup,
[Your character immersion has deepened.]
[Your immersion level is 84%.]
Why had his Divine Formula: Transformation still been active?
[Your character immersion has deepened.]
[Your immersion level is 85%.]
It was strange. The Inquisitor could freely change his appearance using his Divine Formulas, even grow his hair. However, the Inquisitor was the one who owned the formulas. By no means did they belong to Lady Goldencup.
[Your character immersion has deepened.]
[Your immersion level is 86%.]
However, the traces of the Inquisitor’s Divine Formula: Transformation still lingered, leading to only one conclusion.
[Your character immersion has deepened.]
[Your immersion level is 87%.]
Even if we were consumed by our roles, our Skills didn’t disappear. Lady Goldencup still had the Inquisitor’s Skills. However, she no longer used them because she’d forgotten how.

[Your immersion level is 88%.]
And so would I.
As my immersion level approached ninety percent, I felt a dizzying torrent of memories from the original owner of this body. Until now, I had only caught glimpses of his memories or shared his emotions. But it was different now.
[Your character immersion has deepened.]
[Your immersion level is 89%.]
My memories were fading away. The orphanage director sometimes used to gather us together and read me and the other children the Chronicles of the Eastern Zhou Kingdoms, but I couldn’t remember the director’s voice anymore. The memory of not wanting to go to the bathroom in the winter because that was so cold. The laughter of the older sisters and brothers who sometimes came back to the orphanage to play with us...
—Hey! Kim ■Ja! What the fuck are yo■ ■ng!
[■■ pleads yo■ to st■ right now!]
Even the voices of the Guardian and the holy sword grew distant.
“Are you okay?”
Only Lady Silver Lily’s voice was clear.
“Yes... It’s okay... For now... More.”
“Are you asking me to kiss you more? My lover is such a baby.”
I was out of breath.

Despite my dizziness, I forced my eyes open and peered at the mirror reflecting the two of us.

Something... Something was overwriting my existence.
“How about now? Are you okay?”
“Raviel...”
I was scared.
“I love you. I love you, Raviel...”
“I know.”
“Even when I’m born again, I’ll love you. I’ll never forget you, even if I die...”
“I know that as well.”
Our lips met.

My identity became faint.

A cheap dagger.
It doesn’t even have a sheath, but whatever.
That was my beginning.
This is the limit of what I could buy.
And it was my limit.
[Your character immersion has deepened.]

The small room. The tattered walls. The newspapers and photos.

The handsome man with a ponytail stood holding a spear engulfed in flames.

I was burning. The mansion was burning.
“You’re kind, Mister.”

On the day when red rain fell heavily, someone shivered in the field of acacia flowers, shouting, “I—! I didn’t know!”
On the acacia flower field...

So... someone had said.
—I'm going to teach him how to be happy!
I...

Who was I?

It was...
—■■ ■ ■■■■! ■, ■, ■■■!
[■■■■ ■■■■ ■■ ■■■■■■.]
It was noisy. My head buzzed as if it were filled with bees. My vision was blurry... A mirror? Why was there a mirror in front of me? Where was I?
“Are you okay?”
I stared toward where the voice came from. My eyes were blurry, but the person in front of me had an overwhelming presence. I knew who this person was.
“Gong-Ja.”
Raviel Ivansia. She was the young heir of the Duke of Ivansia.
“I asked if you were okay.”
She was also the love rival of my master, Lady Goldencup.
“What...?” I tried to move and then realized that I was tied up. I couldn’t budge even a little bit. As soon as I realized that, I snapped back into reality. “Oh my god. My lord, did you kidnap me? You’ve gone too far. I’m aware that the duke is so powerful that he can blind the eyes of heaven, but this is too far. Do you hate Lady Goldencup that much? Is that why you’re threatening me, her butler?”
The silver-haired woman looked down at me quietly. When I saw her face, my heart ached for some reason.
“I see.” She looked sad. “So that’s how that is.”
It was said that all of the poison in the empire came from her heart and that all the evil schemes in the empire came from her head. Although these were somewhat malicious rumors, there was some truth in them. But the very Lady Silver Lily in front of me looked plaintive.
“I thought I didn’t have a heart left to feel hurt, but this certainly hurts. Didn’t you say that your martial arts are to prove your life through pain? If so, be happy. Your sword has torn my heart apart.”
“What are you talking about...?”
I couldn’t understand what Lady Silver Lily was saying, nor what I was feeling, either. Why did my heart ache so much? Had she drugged me when she kidnapped me? However, I was well-versed in various poisons after years of serving Lady Goldencup, and I had never heard of such symptoms.
“Gong-Ja.”
My heart pounded hard. Why?
“... Who are you looking for?”
“My lover. He’s the man who offered me his heart and the one I will give mine.”
She was probably talking about the crown prince, but her red eyes reflected nothing but me, confusing me even more.
“M-my lord.”
It was strange. Why was I breaking into cold sweat when I just called her ‘my lord’? After all, she was undeniably the heir apparent of her house.
“Gong-Ja.”
What? It was like I’d done something very wrong. I felt like I’d committed a sin that I would have to spend eternity apologizing for.
“I’ll kill you if you scar my heart.”
I gasped for breath. The piercing voices I didn’t know were wrecking my head. I felt like I was going to go crazy. Was I hearing things because I was drugged? Was that why sweat was running down my neck and my heart was throbbing so hard?
“Gong-Ja.”
I couldn’t answer. Lady Silver Lily was pulling out her rapier. That wasn’t a good sign. I had to say something to stop her.
“Go.”
But I couldn’t say anything back.

[The Silver-Plated Heart looks at you.]
“I’ll be waiting for you.”
My heart was skewered. I screamed. Soon, my blood poured out, blocking my esophagus. My last breath in this world dissipated quickly. Lady Silver Lily covered my mouth with her lips just as the blood was about to spill out of my mouth.
The world around me grew dark. Killing me meant that the lady was finally starting her attack against Lady Goldencup. I couldn’t die, I was Lady Goldencup’s shield. This was an emergency.
However, the last thought that came to my mind wasn’t about Lady Goldencup. It wasn’t about anything but those red eyes Lady Silver Lily was staring at me with.
[The Silver-Plated Heart loves you.]
I wanted to wipe away the tears that were flowing out from them.
[You have died.]
[Rewinding twenty-four hours.]
[...]
[Error.]
[The owner and the subject of the Skill are different.]
[Determining whether to rewind twenty-four hours from the Skill owner’s perspective or from the Skill subject’s perspective.]
[Unable to determine.]
The world around me grew dark.
[The Tower has determined that the Skill’s activation requirement was not met .]
[The Tower has confirmed that the Skill owner has deliberately caused the current situation in order to make an inquiry.]
[The Death King’s inquiry exceeds the Tower’s authorization level.]
Everything became distant.
[Checking the Death King’s authorization level.]
[Passed.]
[The Death King temporarily owns the authorization level of an apostle.]
[Temporary authorization granted by: Hamustra.]
[The Tower has conceded the Death King’s inquiry to be a formal agenda.].
[The Tower has requested the Six Pillars of All Life to convene for a majority vote.]
A wave of white light swept over me.
***
I had never been in a place like this before. In the darkness, I didn’t even have a body; I was floating in the air.
[Identifying the participants.]
Only the whispering voice disturbed the endless darkness.
[The Sixth Pillar, Primordial Staff, has joined the meeting.]
[The Fifth Pillar, Mirage-Walking Princess, has joined the meeting]
[The Fourth Pillar, Bystanding Moon of Blind Faith, has joined the meeting.]
[The Third Pillar, Legislator of the Beginning, has joined the meeting.]
[The Second Pillar, Void-Dancing God, has joined the meeting.]
[The participation of the Six Pillars of All Life has been confirmed.]
[The Tower has shared the agenda raised by Temporary Apostle, Death King.]
[All participants have received the agenda.]
—Tchuba—ta, Mura waloyo Bushi—to!
The new voices sounded very angry.
—Sato, mai—mau.
—Nail!
The voices came from everywhere, writhing in my ears like the whisperings of an unfathomable number of snakes. Wondering if this place was hell, I couldn’t help but cower.
[The request to translate Zrakuan has been accepted.]
The next moment, a thunderous roar burst out.
—...That shithole is playing with us now! Get Hamustra’s ass in here! That bastard Indoor Librarian, why the hell would he send that kind of rascal as his apostle!
—I checked, but there was no problem with the procedure. Anyhow, that kid won’t be able to understand a word we say. I think it’s best to reset... what was it... something called "immersion level” before we start talking.
—Mia! Dial it back down!
[The request to reset the Death King’s immersion level has been accepted.]
[Your immersion level is 0%.]
I finally managed to catch my breath. The dizziness stopped. The words I had said while almost consumed by the role of the butler, how Lady Silver Lily looked at me... All of my memories returned in an instant.
—You deliberately immersed yourself into the character and then used your regression Skill so you could go back twenty four hours from your character’s perspective, didn’t you?!
And I was certain that I had succeeded. I suppressed a smile.
Yes, that’s right. Please send me back.
The day when the Lady Silver Lily had raised her sword and stabbed her heart in the mirror, the eternal ten days began—I was trying to go back twenty-four hours before that very day.
