Chapter 125:

At one point, I thought that Kim Kiryeo might have been falsely accused, as Ahn Yoonseung said. But with this, it seems almost certain that the problematic past is indeed true.

‘Haha, Kim Kiryeo, that guy.’

I clasped my hands behind my back as I looked over the tip-off post and soon laughed in vain.

‘No money, no magic, and now even morality?’

In any case, I’ve clearly ended up in the wrong body, and not just by a little.

***

The online world is currently overflowing with anger toward a certain S-rank individual.

[This is on another level.]

[Phew... No wonder I felt something was off since the S-rank announcement.]

[Physiognomy is real science.]

It’s a sport with a lot of cost-effectiveness to curse at a sinner who deserves to be cursed at. If I had to make a metaphor, I feel like I’m being beaten nonstop like a piñata on my birthday.

Of course, some netizens insisted that they should watch the situation carefully... But given how shocking the evidence photos presented alongside the exposé were, there hasn’t been much change in public opinion. The media outlets have featured it as a main article, and there are even Y-Tube videos racking up views.

If this continues, my reputation will not only drop but will be digging itself a hole.

“Hmm.”

However, honestly, there is nothing I can do about the situation.

That would be the case because I failed to recover my memories despite my best efforts.

‘I don’t even know the victim’s face, so how can I deal with it?’

Now that things have come to this, the only option left is to quickly change my body and alter my identity.

“Today is the ranking update date, so I guess I will stay in 9th place for the next 3 months.”

I picked up my phone. While I was at it, I thought about checking if the dragon’s lungs were up for sale.

[Search results: 0]

“Damn it.”

There weren’t any today either.

About seven hours had passed... since I fell asleep in disappointment after searching for the results.

– Tiring, ringing.

I opened my eyes to the sound of a machine ringing at my bedside.

8:14 AM. It feels a bit early for a call, doesn’t it?

“Ahem, hello?”

– Hyung-nim!

“Oh, yeah. It’s Yoonseung.”

I barely managed to lift my swollen eyelids, heavy with accumulated fluids, as I answered the call.

“What?”

But the news I heard over the phone was...

– It’s all sorted out! I’ll send you the link to that post right away. Check it out, Hyung-nim!

Tuk.

The call quickly ended while I was still bewildered. I stared blankly at my phone, which had gone dark, but soon after, a text message arrived from Yoonseung’s number.

[Regarding fnalt’s false accusations.]

What Yoonseung sent was a link to a post with this title. For reference, “fnalt” is the nickname of the author who posted the first exposé.

According to An Yoonseung, everything has been resolved with this one post titled [Regarding the False Accusations...]. For now, I don’t know what’s going on.

I rubbed my eyelids and checked the post in question. But as soon as I read the first paragraph, my sleepiness instantly vanished.

===============================

Title: Regarding fnalt’s false accusations.

– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –

You are such a shameless person.

How could you think of putting Kim Kiryeo’s name on that picture when I am alive and well?

Hello. Everyone on the free bulletin board.

First, let me introduce myself.

I am a classmate of Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo who graduated from the same middle school.

I am the female student from the photo that was included in the original accusations post.

===============================

If it is the female student in the photo...

‘Is she the one with the mosaic over her face?’

As I scrolled through the post, the next line contained completely unexpected information.

==============================

...but that photo is certainly not the situation described by the accuser.

=============================

I didn’t have the confidence to endure the situation getting bigger.

I didn’t want the news to be published.

I also didn’t want to bring my family to school.

Since the other party was also a student, I thought that reporting it for such minor contact wouldn’t lead to any real punishment anyway...

So at that time, I couldn’t take any proper action.

Don’t approach the perpetrators again. If something like this happens again, I will definitely sue them all.

I gave them vague warnings like this.

=============================

The author had reached a point where even recalling the school violence became unbearable, deciding to bury it all. Yet, it seemed she regretted this choice she had made in the past.

[Looking back, it was a mistake.]

If you scroll down a bit, this is what’s written in the text.

[If I hadn’t let it slide back then, today’s situation might not have happened.]

The outline of fnalt, who wrote the false accusation post, was revealed in the remaining text of the post.

=============================

...the one who wrote the false accusation post, fnalt.

There was a time when I thought I should forgive you, considering it was just a mistake from our younger days.

Looking at the current situation, it seems that all of this was a sprout that I kept quiet about.

But thanks to that picture, I knew who you were right away.

As you can see in the video, there was only one person there fiddling with his phone.

Furthermore, the statement from the exposure post that said, “If she tells anyone, we’ll take care of her and those with her,” weighed heavily on my mind.

I still remember it clearly.

That’s what you used to scare me.



You always told me in the bathroom that you had nothing to lose, that if I didn’t want to ruin my life, I should stay away from you.

You threatened me with scissors. You dragged a weak student around after school. It was all your actions.

How dare you belittle others based on your own experiences?

And you chose the righteous ones like Kiryeo.

=============================

So, this means that the first false accusations post was all fabricated, and it even imitated the author’s school days?

I held my phone and briefly exclaimed.

The residents of Alphauri are second to none in terms of human nature...Now that I think about it, Earthlings aren’t that bad either. This incident made even me, a native Alphauri, stick out my tongue.

=============================

I will no longer cower like a coward.

I will do my best for the friend who helped me, and I will ensure that fnalt, who falsely accused Kim Kiryeo, pays the price he deserves.

Thank you for reading this far.

=============================

In the situation where the most significant piece of evidence, the school bullying photo, was revealed to be fabricated, what would the subsequent developments be?

Well, of course, the internet went crazy again in the aftermath of this post. Even at this moment, new reactions were pouring in like a flood.

[Somehow I thought it was strange;;]

[Breaking News) fnalt this brat deleted his post]

[This is really crazy]

[It says there’s no page for the expose. Wow, but now that they’ve shown up, do they really think they won’t get caught? LOL.]

‘So that’s why Ahn Yoonseung said that everything was resolved with one post.’

I nodded as I surveyed the atmosphere of the bulletin board. The sudden twist was a bit surprising, but still, I felt a sense of relief that the troubling situation had been resolved.

“Huh?”

But then.

“....”

I paused for a moment after spotting a comment while scrolling down the screen. Once I read the three characters of the name mentioned in the comment, I quietly returned to the post page I had first opened.

[Regarding fnalt’s false accusations.]

There were two pieces of information written at the top of this page.

One was the title of the post.

And the other was.
