Chapter 682

"Regina? We know her. She was the one who led us here."

After those words, the young Awakeners began to chatter among themselves.

"That person we saw yesterday and today, her name was Regina, right? She explained to us about the Awakeners' arena and asked if we were interested."

"Ah, the one who did the final check before the fight began? Yes, that was her name."

"She seemed kind when inviting us to the arena, but today, she was a bit scary. Looking back, she probably didn't need to be nice anymore, knowing what this place was..."

The speaker was Jack, the curly-haired boy who had almost fought Yuder. As Jack spoke, Reneve's face stiffened rapidly, while his friends shook their heads, offering a different perspective.

"That's not it. She didn't suddenly become scary today; we've felt something odd about her since yesterday. Don't you remember worrying if it was really okay for us to fight here?"

"Right. Jack, you were too excited about earning money to listen properly. I felt different. She kept telling us frightening things, making me wonder if this place wasn't meant for kids like us."

"I felt the same! When I hesitated to sign the application, she whispered in my ear that if I was scared, I should just leave... I signed it impulsively, but now I regret not walking away."

"Really? I just thought she went on about how dangerous it could be, but also how much money we could make..."

Jack mumbled, looking bewildered.

Yuder gleaned new information from the disjointed conversation about Regina, who had been nervous about missing colleagues while doing the last checks before the fight.

Her stern attitude towards the boys and the mention that she could not go further to check on her absent colleagues suggested a harsh demeanor. However, now knowing that Regina was actually Cyril, Yuder's perception of these details shifted.

After hearing this, Yuder turned to Reneve. She looked back at him with a complex gaze, demanding the truth.

"Tell me everything. What happened to Cyril? All of it."

"Understood."

Yuder succinctly narrated the facts he had gathered and surmised from Nukijo and the surroundings.

Regina, as an Awakener with the power of invisibility, had been tasked by Nukijo to deal with Awakeners trying to escape the arena. She did whatever Nukijo asked, aiming for a promotion and the permission to descend to the third underground level.

He also shared that Nukijo seemed reluctant to let Reneve and Regina meet, possibly fearing they might join forces and escape.

After hearing everything, Reneve was speechless for a long time.

Although she had been imprisoned for a long while, she was not foolish. She quickly grasped how Nukijo had manipulated them and the resulting situation they were in. The news of her long-lost friend's survival brought no joy, only a realization she couldn't celebrate.

Reneve remained silent thereafter, lost in deep despair and shock, no longer processing the words spoken to her.

In the midst of the chaos, the Awakeners who were tidying up the scene discovered the entrance to a secret passage that Nukijo was about to enter and cleared the debris blocking the way. The passage, gaping darkly, was a mess with dozens of footprints left in haste by the departing VIPs. Having confirmed this, Kishiar commanded everyone to enter the passage.

Finally, in front of the Awakeners filled with the hope of escape, he twisted the magic tool to reveal his true face completely.

“Ah, the face...?”

“At last, I can properly introduce myself with my real face.”

They could remain loyal to Nukijo until the end, protect the VIPs, and thereby confirm their guilt.

Or they could defect, cooperate with the Cavalry, and pass on information, thereby securing a chance for a reduced sentence.

"...We should ascend as quickly as possible."

[BL] Bermuda

Leonardo Blaine, the true war hero of the Raina Logia Empire and the commander of the Armsilver 11th Squad, is dishonorably discharged for disobeying orders during the final battle that could have led the Empire to victory in the territorial war. People criticize and point fingers at him, and after being released on parole from prison, he disappears without a trace.

Three years later, his name has been forgotten by the world. The Council has been persistently pursuing him, but he has proven difficult to capture. Frustrated by this, Hugo Agrizendro, the commander of the Council's army, decides to personally apprehend him.

"Since when have you been watching me?"

Leonardo was calculative and astute, so it wouldn't be surprising if he had been observing Hugo for some time now. However, Leonardo's answer was something that even Hugo had not anticipated.

"From the very beginning."

[BL] Cloudless Sky

Jin Soram, the top-ranked hunter representing South Korea's Rift Phenomenon Management Headquarters, is stronger than anyone else and lazier than anyone else. As soon as he arrives at the office, he buries himself under a blanket and falls asleep. When he goes out on a mission, he causes accidents and returns to the office, often shirking his duties.

"Do you know how it feels to play a game that's already messed up? ...Anyway, the next round will come, so this time, I'm just going to play it recklessly."

In fact, his true identity is someone who has regressed through three lives, trying to save the world from the Great Rift but failing each time. After repeating a life where he couldn't sleep peacefully even for a day, he became completely exhausted before this life even began.

"I know. You worked hard, Jin Soram."

And then there's Han Tae-un, the man who saved Soram and died in all three previous lives. As he did in every life, he comes to Soram's side once again. The Great Rift is approaching soon. It's impossible to resolve it in this life without any preparation. Soram vows to save Tae-un in this life and die himself. At least, he won't let Tae-un save a failure like himself again.

"For now, until then, let's sleep..."

As Soram sluggishly lives his life waiting for that moment, a gradual change occurs in his heart.

'I thought this was a messed-up round... but I want to live a little longer here.'
