Regression Is Too Much

Chapter 14: Unfriendly Status Window (1)



[Attributes can be acquired.]

"... Characteristic?"

Suddenly? Can you acquire traits?

The moment I thought that, my body froze in the same position as when I was scratching the back of my head.

"... "

No, it wasn't just me.

Anchovy lying down and begging.

A woman holding her neck with both hands as if she had trouble breathing after seeing a fallen archer, and a man with glasses trying to stay as calm as possible but unable to hide his wobbly legs. And even an extra man who sat down because his legs gave out.

Everything, not even the slightest movement. I can't even hear any sound.

I think it's right to see that I'm not frozen, but that time has stopped.

[Attributes can be acquired.]

"... Whatever."

It was nice that the tower stopped time, whether it was the consideration of the tower to choose the characteristics slowly, but...

I only spit out the words to choose, but there was no separate choice in front of my eyes.

What 1. Good technique.

2. Better technology

3. A skill that looks like garbage at first glance, but if used well, it's a scam, so it's a skill the main character will choose anyway

Even if it's a choice like this, I have to make a choice.

Where did you learn to be a idiot who didn't explain anything after just telling you to pick a characteristic?

I can't even move my body except for my eyes... What is the bastard who created the status window really doing?

"... Hmm?"

In the midst of complaining in the middle of the day, I felt something strange, and I was startled without knowing it.

Even though it's disgusting... Sublime yet... Scary vibes.

Surprisingly, the energy was emanating from the body of the anchovy lying on its stomach, and the three kinds of energy were pushing each other as if they were mixing, drawing a strange shape.

"... "

It wasn't someone who taught me, and it wasn't like the status window informed me, but I instinctively figured it out.

That's a feeling The feelings that anchovy has for me.

Just by looking at them, you can clearly feel the emotions of each energy as if you were licking them with your tongue.

Red aura is fear.

It is the feeling of being afraid of me, who has the power to slash a bully in half at once.

I hate blue aura.

It is a heart that hates a murderer who takes away the life of another human being.

Finally, the yellow aura is awe.

An instinctive sense of awe toward those with great power. Wonderment. Surprise. Little fear.

"... "

This anchovy guy was thinking of me this way.

A great and terrifying killer.

Personally, I think it's normal for a person with regression ability to do this much, but from a point of view that doesn't know it, it seems amazing.

The killer... That's right. But you just tried to kill someone too. It is said that it is like a fire for me.

So, why does this tower show me these feelings?

It's obvious. Maybe if you pick one of those emotions, it will become a trait. Because I said at the beginning [You can acquire characteristics].

"Hmm... "

When I was trying to choose a character, I was troubled.

If the trait disappears when you regress... It won't matter if you choose roughly here.

All I have to do is taste all 3 traits, try out which one I like best, and then pick the right one for the next round I'm determined to move on to in the tutorial.

But what if traits are fixed once picked? What if traits follow even if you regress?

What if you can't get the characteristics from this anchovy even if you move on to another round?

This is the first feature you get. Regression is just an existing feature, so let's put it aside.

Even when you play the original game, the characteristics you get in the beginning will influence your later play.

If you choose horror here... You will be given the ability to strike enemies with fear. Or that it gets stronger when the enemy feels fear. It seems the simplest yet most powerful.

If you choose horror here... You will be given the ability to strike enemies with fear. Or that it gets stronger when the enemy feels fear. It seems the simplest yet most powerful.

If you choose to hate, well... Are you trying to foster a visceral dislike? This guy's ability is not intuitive, so I can't get a good sense of it.

It's a disgust that comes from murder, so it might be given a trait that makes it better to kill people. It sounds like a real psychopath when you explain it like this.

Finally, in awe. To be honest, he's also a bit non-intuitive.

It was because I felt that the focus was a little different from the 'three visible energy' that simply comes out of the illusion system.

The dictionary meaning of the emotion of awe is 'to honor and fear'.

If you just respect it, you will respect it... Although I wanted to complain about why fear was mixed in.

It seemed that I would be afraid if someone suddenly cut a person in front of my eyes.

"Hmm... "

Is it fear do you hate Are you in awe

The worry was short, and the choice was quick.

Shuhua!

As I made my decision, a yellow energy was sucked in as if it had read my thoughts.

What I chose was 'awe'.

The reason is simple.

Fear? Aversion? It is a skill that can be easily and quickly counted.

Even if it's just fear right now, there will be infinite ways to use it.

After finding out future information through regression, 'I know everything about you. If you scare someone by saying, "You will die tomorrow," No matter how strong you are, you will sit down and urinate.

Getting stronger right now? It's important. But I was envisioning a bigger future.

Someday when I conquered this tower.

When I came out of this tower.

When I became a worldwide hero.

If the ability you have is simply the ability to give fear or disgust... Can I be properly treated as a hero?

Rather, my achievements are taken away by a handsome and well-rounded handsome man, and only those who know me know... Will it become an urban legend of some sort?

Even if that's not the case, feelings of fear and disgust make it very difficult to cooperate with others.

Then, in the end, you have to act alone all the time.

Considering the characteristics of the 'top' space, this seemed like a bad option.

Among the web novels I read in the past, if you look at a novel called 'The tutorial is really damn hard', the main character is trapped in a tower despite having overwhelming force.

Why? Because there was no colleague to help.

If there is a layer that has to carry out a common goal, fear and disgust will act as a serious problem.

In the end, I am convinced that the correct answer was to choose 'Awe', which is both passable and cool.

"... It's okay."

The yellow energy that slowly flowed in stopped.

I can't feel any difference in my body. It just feels the same as usual.

But I did have one great means of self-reflection.

"Status window."

[Name: Junho Kim] [LV:5]

[Characteristic]

-Return [EX]

-Awe [C] Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

"... Hmm."

I lightly pressed 'awe' with my fingertips.

-Awe [C]

"... What is this?"

Did the kid who made the tower graduate from the Korean Language and Literature Department?

Or is it my hobby to give ambiguous options and watch them ponder?

What was written as an explanation was a list of words that seemed to catch a cloud.

Well, I don't even want an explanation like 'It gives 160% of attack power' as in the game.

But shouldn't I tell you what this is and how it works?

Unknowingly, as I tried to grab the back of my neck, I noticed that my hand was moving.

Ah. Come to think of it, I pressed the status window with my hand...

"... "

The time stop had been lifted. It was so quiet that it was too late to notice.

"Live... Fat... "

The anchovy was still trembling on its face...

The reaction of the group of men with glasses was quite different.

His glasses, which had been wobbly in his legs, regained some stability.

And the woman who was gasping for her breathing difficulties, her face was red.

Her face was flushed red enough to make me wonder if she was going to die soon.

"... Are you okay?"

Unknowingly, I asked for my regards. It's because it looks so bad.

"... "

But the woman doesn't answer.

She put her hands together and closed her mouth, whispering softly.

"... Awesome."

"... ?"

I plucked her ears slightly, wondering if I had heard it wrong.

Cool? I?

Blood all over your body right now? The bloody smell vibrates?

I knew better than anyone that I was far from cool.

Then the answer is simple.

Is this the power of 'awe'?

To other people, I look really cool. With the power of great traits.

It wasn't the effect I expected in the first place, but I thought I had chosen the characteristics well.

Finally, can I also try a little insider experience?

"Oh yeah?"

I naturally took a step towards the woman in front of me.

That buck

People who take a step back at the same time.

"... "

It was as if he was wary of me approaching.

No, you said it was cool? Why are you running away?

A woman who looked at my face and waved her hand, as if her expression had become devastated without me realizing it.

"No... It's not that I hate it... Because you're not in the same class as us... Because you're great... It's just kind of like that."

"... "

I slightly turned my gaze and glanced at the status window that was still open.

-Awe [C]

- Praise for your greatness. Fear of not being able to understand.

"... Fear."

Was the choice fear, loathing, or awe?

Fuck it, it was a go-bulgi...
