Regressor Instruction Manual
chapter-93

Together forever! We can be together forever.[1]

- That’s right. We’ll stay together forever.

A home just for the two of us.

- Yeah. No one will be able to interrupt us or trespass on our home. It’s the result we wanted.

I wonder if oppa feels the same way.

- Of course. He told you that he loved you.

You’re right. He did say that.

- It’s dangerous outside.

That’s true. There are too many people trying to take oppa from me even though everything that you’re saying sounds dumb…

- Look at that woman. She looks like she’s trying to flirt with oppa and oppa looks like he’s in a difficult position. And what about the people trying to kill oppa? Think back to the time we were in the tutorial dungeon. Oppa is weak, oppa is weak!

- He needs our protection.

That’s right.

- This is protection. To protect him, we have no choice but to do this. It’s dangerous outside.

I activated the spell I was reciting.

‘I have no choice.’

- Kill them all. Start with that woman. She tried to steal oppa.

But she’s a high-ranked mage. Do you think it’ll be okay?

- She’ll never see it coming. We can target her when she’s influenced by the curse.

That’s the same for me too.

- We’re fine because I’ll protect you. You don’t want to be influenced by the curse?

You’re going to protect me?

- Yeah because I’m you and you’re me. All you need to do is pierce through her head once. A simple spell should do it. It’s important that you don’t waste your mana.

Oh! I succeeded.

- Great, now who should we target next? That dumb woman looks good. Since her endurance is high, let’s think of another idea.

What can we do? What about a corruption spell? Wait, that takes too long since I don’t specialize in black magic. Let’s do something else. How about pulling her head off? From the inside.

- That’s a good idea. I don’t think she’ll notice us anyway, so that’s really good. That’s right. Just like that…

- You did it!

Hehe.

- Don’t worry about the rest since they’re all going to die anyway. The next is… Sun Hee-Young?

She went out with oppa every day, right?

- Yeah, she did.

Still…

- Don’t be weak. We don’t have a choice. Let’s get rid of that kid together with her.

I don’t want to.

- You can’t do that. Stop being weak. This is all to protect oppa so let’s give them a painless death.

Okay.

- Mr. Deok-Gu and Mr. Hyun-Sung…

I don’t want to kill them since oppa likes them. I think it’ll be best to make them sleep.

- Aren’t you worried? Kim Hyun-Sung is strong. What if she comes back to this place later? He could ask you to return oppa.

He can’t do that.

- Let’s kill him too.

I told you we can’t do that. Are you an idiot?

- You’re the idiot. We did well up until now and you’re going to give up now? We kill those two and it’s over.

No, I don’t want to do that. Especially Deok-Gu oppa since he helped me a lot.

- You’re going to regret it.

I think it'll be better to make them sleep and then we can send them out. We can’t do anything if they keep visiting, but I don’t want to kill them.

- You...

Taking oppa is the priority. I’m going to hide him in the deepest part so that no one will take him. Look at our oppa sleeping. Isn’t he cute and lovable?

- Yeah. But what if oppa tries to run away?

He won’t. Oppa told us that he loves us.

- I think it’ll be better to set up a safety device just in case.

Okay, that should be fine. Hehe. Oppa looks so cute when he’s sleeping.

- Yeah, he’s really cute. We need to hurry though. We have a lot to do.

That’s right. I need to decorate our new home and we’ll need a lot of stuff. Since oppa likes to study, I think it’ll be good to create a study room for him. We need to make a shower room and I’ll make it big s-so that we can take a shower together. The bed will be big and I need to make a bathroom too so I need to do my best.

- We also need a system where it’ll kill anyone that trespasses our home. The people that are targeting oppa may come back so we’ll create a golem and a chimera. We also need more Undead since the dungeon is empty. It’ll be difficult, but we can do it if it’s for oppa. This place will be our home. It’ll be an unbreakable castle just for oppa and me.

* * *

Where’s oppa?

- He just woke up. I don’t think he ate today either…

Do you think he’s okay? I’m really worried. He doesn’t look okay. I wonder if he’s sick. How many months has it been… wait… what if oppa wants to leave this place?

- That’s possible.

He said something a few days ago. That he wanted to go outside…

- Don’t fall for it. Never ever fall for it.

I don’t like it when oppa isn’t energetic. He doesn’t even smile a lot these days.

- He’ll understand someday. He’ll understand that all of this was for him. It’s dangerous outside. There were strange people that came into our house today. If oppa went outside, I’m sure he wouldn’t be able to handle them. Do you want him to be taken away again?

I don’t, but… I still don’t like him looking sad.

- Then just use a spell that’ll make him feel better. Oppa will feel better. And when he does, he’ll be nicer to us and we can spend a happier time with him. We need to always make him smile.

Is that okay?

- It’s all for oppa.

It’s all for oppa. You’re right. I should try it now.

- Great.

Oh, he smiled! You were right.

- I told you. Let’s try another spell. How about a seduction spell?

But that wouldn’t be oppa’s true feelings...

- I think using it once in a while is okay… we’ve worked hard up until now, so think of it as rewarding ourselves. Okay?

Rewarding ourselves?

- Yeah. Rewarding ourselves. I think it’ll be best to stay in this condition just for today. Think about how hard we worked to protect oppa… we killed everyone that came here every day and not only that but we also cleaned the surrounding areas too. Completely remodeling the dungeon was hard—we needed to create a chimera every day and we couldn’t even sleep well the past few days because we were worried about oppa.

Right? But still…

- Just for one day.

Is that okay?

- Of course. Stop thinking about it and just do it.

“Th-Then, just for one day. One day…”

- Good job.

Ahhhhhh.

- Nice.

I’m happy, I’m so happy. I’m so, so happy.

“I’m happy. I’m so happy.”

- I was right. Aren’t you glad you did it?

Yeah, you were right.

* * *

What should I do? O-Oppa ran away.

- I knew he was going to do that.

How? How? Does he not like me anymore? I made him happy every day… I don’t know what went wrong.

- It could be because he drank the poison of the outside world.

But we’re inside the dungeon. There’s no way something outside would come in here.

- There are intruders every day. The dirty air around them has been tainting oppa’s mind.

We need to kill them all.

- Yeah.

I never imagined that he would suddenly run away like this. It’s all the intruders’ fault! Why won’t they leave us alone? I don’t know why they keep coming here and interrupting my time with oppa! I don’t know why! Won’t it be better if I left and killed them all? Lindel, I’ll kill everyone in Lindel.

- That’s a good idea, but people other than oppa are all bugs, so they're bound to come back here no matter many of them you kill.

Wh-What should I do?

- The air outside might’ve already affected oppa’s mind and curing it won’t be easy. Oppa won’t be able to escape the dungeon by himself… shouldn’t we do something temporary at least?

Like what?

- Let’s cut off his legs.

“We can’t. That’s nonsense. I don’t like it when he’s in pain.”

- You can do it without hurting him.

Without hurting him?

- Yeah, you just have to do it without hurting him. Cast a spell that’ll make him feel good and if you slowly take it off, oppa won’t feel anything. Of course, he’ll have a hard time walking around, but it’s not a bad idea, right? Since we’re always going to be by his side. Let’s make it so that he’ll have no choice but to rely on us.

But… that’s…

- What are you going to do if oppa leaves this place and runs off with another woman? Even the Red Mercenary Guild came here. That dumb Cha Hee-Ra might come back.

You’re right.

- Would you be able to endure it? If that situation really comes, don’t you think it’ll be difficult to bear? Cutting them off right now is the right thing to do.

I think you’re right. Yeah.

- Have you ever regretted listening to me?

Never, but…

- Trust me this time too. It’s all going to work out.

* * *

Oppa tried to d-die. He bit his tongue! I don’t like it. I’m really scared. What if oppa dies?

- But he didn’t. We’re fine.

But he tried to kill himself! I don’t know why! Why did he do that? I told him every day that I loved him. Every day! We’ve been happy every day and no one from the outside world has visited us recently! We can now live a comfortable life!

- It’s probably because the air from the outside world had already tainted him.

I don’t want oppa to die. I don’t want him to leave me and I don’t like that he suddenly tried to kill himself. I don’t like any of it!

- We can make it so that he doesn’t die. Since we can’t turn him into an Undead, let’s try different tests. I’m sure there’s a way to save him. There must be a way where we can live forever. Let’s get a catalyst that’ll regenerate the body and do surgery on oppa’s body. It might be a bit painful, but we have no choice, and oppa will surely understand. It won’t be easy, but we did well up until now, right? So we can do it this time too.

You… you’re right. Let’s do that. We should do that so this doesn’t happen again.

- That’s right. That’s it.

“Oppa. Just bear with it even if it hurts. I’m doing all of this for you.”

“Ugh… ah… ah.”

“You love me? Of course, I love you so much too, Oppa.”

“Ahh… ah… do.”

“You must never die. Never…”

“Ahh…”

“A lot of time passed. You look good even with white hair. Ahhh… that’s good. Oppa. Oppa!”

“...Hae…”

“I love you. I love you too.”

“...”

“Your hair has grown a lot. Research? Oh… of course, we’re going to do it today. It may be a bit painful, but I’m sure you’ll be able to handle it. When you’re in pain, I’m in pain too, Oppa. So let’s bear it together.”

“...”

“Just a little more, oppa. You can do it. Just hang in there. Heuuuuk… I love you. I love you.”

“...Hae.”

“Ahhh… no! No!”

“I…”

“Yes, Oppa. I’m right here.”

“You…”

“I love you. I love you too. So please don’t leave me. Please…”

“Resent you.”

“Ah…”

“I’m going to resent you and curse you for making me like this. Forever… no, I’m going to curse you even after I die. You didn’t give me love. You made me suffer and in the end, you made me this way. Look at my body. This is the result of your work and look at what’s around us! You’ve ruined everything.”

“Ahhh!!!”

“You destroyed everything. You ruined my love for you and my honesty. We could’ve been happier and we could’ve lived together happily. Even after I die… I won’t forget about you. I’ll curse you and curse you and curse you even more.”

“Aaaahhhhhhhhhh!”

“I don’t love you anymore.”

“Aaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! No! No! What should I do? Wh… What should I do now? Oppa? Oppa!”

- You can save him. You can still save him.

“St-Stop joking around! Stop it! It’s… It’s all because of you! All of it! You made him this way! Oppa…”

- I don’t know what you’re talking about…

“Die! Die! Just die!”

- You’re talking nonsense, dummy. You still don’t realize it?

“...”

- Look, I’m you. I told you that we were one and the same. You’re the one that did all of this, you idiot.

“That’s… not possible. That’s not possible.”

- Idi…

“...”

- ot…

Craaaaaack!

“Aaaahhhhhhhhhhh!”
