TL: Zimming
I became a regressor and had many risks. When I was a child, it was not easy to think of an adult, but on the other hand, I clearly remembered my painful life because my memory improved so much.
However, the latter case also has advantages. To remember my painful life clearly means I have a very good memory.
I remember reading it clearly when I was just four years old when I came to Dubbled.
âDevilâs Record.â
The book that was stuck between fairy tale books.
[The most holy achievement of the founding emperor Fred I may have been the defeat of Ivan, a devil summoner.
According to Ivanâs record, there are two conditions for demonic powers to be manifested.
The first is to have the right medium, which is the key to awakening the divine power, and the acquisition of a medium that enables power to be exertedâ¦â¦.]
Ivan, who was called the worst traitor, used the power of the devil.
Itâs very similar to how I brought out the devil.
I came into contact with a medium, newt, the key to awakening divine power, and exerted it by getting an Etwal, a medium to exert power.
âIf I were to use the power like Ivanâ¦â¦.â
I asked the old nymph.
âIs the first adventurer named Ivan?â
The old nymph, holding peanuts in both hands, stared at me. Soon he asked in a puzzled voice.
âH, how does the sweet adventurer know the name of the first adventurer?â
ââ¦â¦.â
âIvan Shayman Tesla. The name of the first adventurer.â
âIvan Shayman Teslaâ¦â¦.â
As I mumbled my name, Henry and Isaac looked at me.
Everyone knew of Ivanâs name. It was impossible not to know it.
They knew him as Ivan the traitor.
The evil Ivan.
But whatâs more important than that-
âShaymanâ¦â¦What are you talking about, kid?â¦.â
âLeblaine, if anyone else had heard, you would have been executed, whether you were a Dubbled or a child of fate.â
The true name of the founding emperor, Fred Enys Shayman Callie.
The Imperial Palace tried to hide the true name of the founding emperor. This is because the middle name âShaymanâ indicates that he was a descendant of an evil tribe.
âLike the founding emperor, Ivan was called a hero at first.â
Two Etwals.
Two heroes.
I closed my eyes tightly.
âOf the two heroes with Etwal, only the winner was recorded in history, and the loser became a traitor and disappeared into the back of history.â
âWhat?â
Henry looked at me with a stiff face, and I put a confused look on my face.
âIvan and the founding emperor were from the same tribe. I should look at the records of the founding emperor on the estate. Iâm sure I remember seeing him at Dubbled Castle. You know, Iâ¦â¦Henry, Isaac, I mightâ¦â¦.â
Just then.
Iâm getting dizzy all of a sudden.
[â¦â¦ild.]
[Myâ¦â¦ child]
Yes, thatâs right.
How did I forget that?
The voice that called me anxiously as I was dying as a sacrifice in my first life.
âItâs the same voice I heard when I touched newtâ
At the moment, my legs were weak and my body was out of balance. While falling, I saw Henry and Isaac running to me. That was my last memory.
***
Thick chubby hands, sausage-like plump arms, fluffy cheeksâ¦
âDid I regress again?â
I buried my face in my knee in despair. Thereâs no one around on the place. How long do I have to stay alone in this desolate place.
Tears kept springing up and my knees were all wet.
[â¦â¦ild.]
For a moment, a voice was heard in the air. Like a group of fireflies, the light was in the air. It soon turned into a little boy and came before me.
[â¦â¦hild.]
[Yes, â¦â¦.]
[I canât see your face because itâs so bright. God, hold my hand, please.]
[Poor child. Youâre still on a tough mission.]
I bowed my head in front of him and wept.
[I donât want to go back. The world is scary.]
[The road has been laid out for you. Do you want to lay down your burdens and go to the land of the gentle shepherd? Come here.]
I reached out, but the boy wouldnât hold my hand. I walked along with him as if possessed. Until the place darkens little by little and I was eventually trapped in darkness.
[â¦â¦Itâs dark and cold here. I want to go somewhere warm.]
[Soon youâll find rest. Come on, child, letâs go where we can see that light.]
I saw a group of white lights in front of me. Brightened up, I ran towards there.
âAh, Iâll find rest soon. Thereâs a land of peace over there where I donât have to be alone.â
The moment I tried to reach for the light.
[Child!!]
Someone pulled me back.
Turn around⦠go⦠With your familyâ¦â¦child, pleaseâ¦â¦
It was a very earnest but loving voice. I know this voice.
The boyâs mouth twitched. As soon as his straight and beautiful lips opened, countless sharp teeth were revealed.
[Serga, you againâ¦.Will you take⦠away from me?]
Black mud flowed from the boyâs body and gathered on the floor. He soon became a great darkness and attacked the person who pulled me.
[Go. â¦â¦ Go. My, my, châ¦â¦ildâ¦â¦to where your family is!]
Then, a familiar voice came from afar.
âBlaine.â
ââ¦â¦Leblaine!â
***
I opened my eyes and looked around.
Itâs my room in the mansion.
âLeblaine!â
There was my father next to me. Seeing him with a worried look in his eyes, I breathed out and covered my eyes with my hands.
âThere was no regression.â
Iâm alive.
My body trembled with cold sweat. My dad swept my cheek down with a big hand.
âAre you alright?â
I couldnât answer because I kept tearing up. I was nervous and afraid that I would never see my family again because of regressing.
My dad hugged me crying and patted me on the back.
Only then did I see people circling the bed. My maids and Lea, Zachary, chairman, aunt and brothers.
Isaac, whose eyes turned red, squeezed my head.
âWe were so surprised!â
âLeblaine, are you okay?â
I sniffed as I buried my face in my dadâs neck.
âHow long have I slept?â
âA couple of days.â
What?
I was so surprised. I opened my mouth wide and got away from my dad as I searched the desk to find my calendar.
It was on the 3rd of this month that I heard that Johann was arrested. Today is the 24th.
âThatâs crazy!â
Only then did the family and the servant smile in relief, as I screamed.
Iâm glad youâre awake.â
I nodded at the chairmanâs words.
âBut what happened with the suwon and the devil?â
As I thought about it, I heard Purpurâs voice in my head.
[Stupid human! Because you were asleep, Iâm afraid Iâll be locked up in the world like this!]
âThe devilâs in a good condition.â
Also, I have enough divine power.
If I had opened the devilâs passage for more than 20 days, I would have lacked it.
âI, whyâ¦â
âWhy, youâre not feeling well?â
Henry looked at me as he narrowed his eyes.
âNo, I mean, Iâm better than usual. You know, that thing. Itâs really hard to maintain, but I maintained it for a long time and didnât feel tired.â
I couldnât say the devil directly because weâre with some people. Fortunately, my family understood that.
âThatâsâ¦.â
Henry and Johann looked at each other.
âWhat does my brothers know?â
Isaac grumbled.
âIâll tell you.â
ââ¦â¦.â
As expected, thereâs something.
I squinted and asked my brothers.
âWhat is it?â
âThe abandoned prince came every day.â
âAdrian?â
âYouâve been in bad shape since the third day since you collapsed. I donât know where he heard it, but he came to the mansion himself. At first, I wondered what kind of trick it wasâ¦â¦ but it told me that you lack divine power,Thatâs why you got the help of the prince.â
âI see, Itâs possible with Adrianâs power, but he must have had a hard time.â
I should say thank you.
I want to go right now, but the sun has already set, so I couldnât enter the palace. Since some time ago, he has moved out of the house of the godmother and has been living in the palace.
âBut today, my priority is to share what I found out with my family.â
I said, clutching Daddyâs cuffs tightly.
âI have something to say to you, please make the servants leave.â
Dad nodded and directed the servants.
My aunt quickly noticed and went out with my servants, leaving only those who knew I was a regressor in the room.
âDad, you know. Maybe Iâ¦â¦!â
âItâs about Ivan right?â
ââ¦â¦How do you know?â
âI looked at Ivanâs record that you said. But it was weird.ââ
âWhat is?â
âDubbled never owned Ivanâs record.â
âWhat?â
âI mean, thereâs a book in our library that we never buy and knew.â
Johann also added
âIt wasnât even on the libraryâs list of books. Youâre the only one who know. Itâs as if its looking for you, the owner of the book.â
âThen a Iâ¦â¦.â
Henry said with a troubled look on his face.
âLeblaine, we donât care if youâre a descendant of Ivan. So you donât need to worryâ¦â¦.â
âI was a really good match for Dubbled!â
My family opened their eyes when I clapped my hands. I said with a grin.
âDubbledâs daughter, the villain, a devil summoner. It suits me very well. Isnât it?â
Dad laughed and messed up my hair.
âSo thatâs all you have to say?â
âThereâs more we can find out.â
âWhat?â
âMaybe Marche doesnât know who the true child of fate is yet. Using this, I can kill Nodelli and weaken the Duke of Marche.â
âWellâ¦.â
âYes, Iâm going for revenge now.â
Iâll make them cry very desperately. I clenched my fist.
