Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

Feeling a certain connection to himself, Zick propped his head on his palm: 'I wonder what the cat is doing now....'

The cat did not participate in the battle between Zick and the demon generals. The cat and Levienel were sent to attack the different tribes of the demonic race.

Before the demon generals, the cat was not much of use.

As for Levienel, Zick had been suspicious of her from the moment — She understood Reikel's real strength.

Though a contract was made between them, there was always a way around it. Especially for being who had long surpassed the level of common sense.

Zick had not met Levienel alone even once, he would dodge her most of the time and send her to hunt the dragon along with the golems.

As Zick distracted himself from the disturbing voices in his head, he suddenly felt the whole world blurring. He did not change his expression, but he was quite surprised.

The voices in Zick's head began screeching, the noise was so loud that he felt his ears go numb and bleeding. But that was not the case, Zick's ears were just alright. e

The screeches in his head kept increasing, before becoming quiet altogether.

A sense of bloodlust rose within Zick, however, he did not lose his reasons in the slightest. The bloodlust was suppressed within a few seconds.

This time he was prepared unlike before, rendering such a thing useless.

'...They are resisting more than I thought, but it's of no use. With my current level of soul, it would not be the same as the first time. The only problem is that they can still corrupt my soul slowly, and I have to deal with this no matter the cost.'

Zick was even willing to discard the regenerative power resolutely, in case no other alternative is found.

As the saying goes, A double-edged sword is good, anyone with it could perform better than the other. But in the process, they have to pay a price too.

This price may even include their life.

'I have around a few years according to the speed my soul is being corrupted. This time might extend or even decrease depending on the circumstances.'

Zick felt a little better considering he had Yuriel beside her. With her ability, most things would go very smoothly. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

Being freed of the voices in his head temporarily, Zick closed his eyes and let himself relax with peace of mind.

...

Unlike the other side of the mist barrier, this world was very developed. Many reasons play a part in it, the pre-eminent reason would be the low presence of mana.

The reason behind such a fact was unknown, but to the people here, it was like this from the very beginning.

The video of the incident that just transpired before a research center, spread like a wildfire in the media.

One of the people walking by, of course, began making a video looking at all the alarms and guards moving around. As a result, the video of where everyone froze in place was disclosed.

Though the voice was not recorded because of the distance, the sight of Zick opening his mouth was clear to them all, after that no one spoke a single word.

The sight of Yeolen speaking nervously was also portrayed to the whole media.

The title went as such-

[ The hope of the republic, Yeolen was agitated by an unknown person]

Or

[ Has the new captain for the Archenst been chosen?]

But all these kinds of threads and news were once again brushed aside, being replaced by the ones who took the statement of the people who were present at that time.

They recognized Zick as a devil or monster, having fearful looks even thinking of him. Almost all of these people were traumatized.

This was to be expected, unlike the people where Zick was before, here most of the people were far from the world of violence. They had very few instances where they could actually sense danger to their life.

Within just ten minutes, Zick became a hot topic in their community.

The chairman of the Glazier Rex, also the main military force in the republic, which protected the border which was currently being attacked by enemy forces.

The first to call the Chairman, Mister Celwent, was the head researcher, Huisel.

Celwent, who appeared to be in his later twenties with dark blue hair, sat on the desk with a rather disturbed look.

"I see, that egg is still missing..." Celwent looked at Zick, who was being broadcasted on the Huge TV on his office wall.

The golden egg, the research X-gold, was very important to Celwent.

According to multiple scans from devices, the golden egg was going to hatch very soon. The creature within it was also very identical to dragons in the legend, they wanted to control the dragon born from this egg.

This might have even been the key to ending the war, which was going on for years.

" I will look into this person myself, so you don't have to worry, doctor Huisel." Celwent sent his secretary to suppress all articles regarding Zick a while ago.

Huisel's voice came from the mobile: "Hmm, be careful of that man, he was very weird. He can even make people immobile..."

Celwent nodded his head: "I am aware, keep looking for that egg just in case."

"Cut the call" The moment Celwent said this, the call was cut. The semi-round device on the back of his neck shone slightly, before returning to normal. It was a widespread device that allowed the people in the republic to communicate, like cell phones, with not much disturbance.

A look of dissatisfaction passed by his face: 'Yeolen...I thought....No she is very smart, it has been proven by her commands on the battlefield. Doing such a stupid thing, just what is wrong with her?'

Celwent opened his mouth and spoke in a cold voice: "Connect to — Yeolen selmar."

Tinx~ The semi-round device, the mindxec, activated. It transmitted the sound directly to Celwent's mind, making it impossible to hear externally, even with enhanced ears through mana or technology.

.....

The device in Yeolen's pocket began vibrating, making her hurriedly move her hands. Taking out the same device worn by Celwent, Yeolen put it on her back and joined the small belt extending from its side.

As the name of the person calling was transmitted to her head, Yeolen turned even paler. Even Zick had to admit that she was quite resilient, she had still not fully exposed her emotions externally, even once.

With a straight back, Yeolen spoke with resolution and tension: "Accept."

".....Yeolen, I will need you to explain yourself right this instant." The cold voice was like an icicle that directly thrust itself into Yeonel's heart, making chills rise nonstop.

The car that Zick was riding was supposed to be only for Yeolen, but Zick entered like it was owned by him, and was even relaxing in the window seat with a nonchalant demeanor.

The inhumane feeling that Yeolen received from Zick was further strengthened, as she observed him.

Yeolen publicly entered the car along with Zick, this was the main point. It showed that the way she was treating Zick wasn't like that of an apprehended.

'...I feel like I was the one who was apprehended instead of them.' Yeolen lamented to herself.

There was an option of directly speaking with thoughts using Mindxec.

"Brainwave connect," Yeolen spoke softly, what she was planning was very simple.

Throw all these problems upon someone else, to Zick.

"I am sorry sir. But I had no other choice. The target seems to have a telepathic ability and was able to communicate with me breaking the language barrier." Yeolen began narrating a long story to Celwent.

"....With the opponent having the ability to paralyze others, I was worried that this person might harm the people. So, I brought him along with me quickly, before the ride arrived to pick them up."

There were a few flaws, but it was still a reasonable explanation...

However, just this much was not enough to satisfy Celwent.

'Such an emotional choice does not suit her personality at all. Her track record showed her rational decision-making very long ago.' Celwent smiled coldly, he was completely aware of Yeolen's capabilities and tendencies.

And such a relenting attitude was not something that Yeolen was capable of.

Zick appeared dangerous, therefore she let him in the car? It looked more like Zick allowed her into his car.

The fact that Zick wanted to meet him was interesting, but certain procedures had to be followed to do that. If anyone was allowed to meet him like this, what was even the point of all the regulations?

The authority and the difference in position must be kept vivid at all times. This was the unwritten rule of all organizations or societies.

Celwent became a little furious, he felt like Yeolen might be looking down on his intelligence.

"Then let me ask you, why did you not use the Xespic from the very beginning? Not even a restrain was on that person, he has also been speculated as superior to you, do you understand what that means?" Celwent words poked into Yeolen, causing her body to tremble slightly.

Yeolen did not want to speak too many lies as it would all be found out in the end, this explanation was the best one.

'....My position as the captain of Archenst might be taken away if this goes on.' Yeolen was also someone who put a lot of her attention on social standings.

The authorities would not remove her from the Archenst, as she was very capable. But they could still punish her in many ways.

"It...It was my mistake, I did not put much thought behind it as I was happy and distracted returning to my hometown..." Yeolen admitted with clenched teeth, this reaction made Zick retract his gaze.
