Regressor Instruction Manual

[You have entered the Beginner’s Trial tutorial.]

The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was a thick tree.

I was in a dark space with no sunlight, but I was able to make out what was in front of me. Our tutorial looked like a dungeon, but the setting of the tutorial before me looked like a huge forest.

I immediately assessed my situation. I looked around to see if I had any items I could use to survive, but it had been a while since the tutorial started, so they had all been taken away.

To make things worse, I couldn’t see anything that could be used as a proper weapon.

‘Damn it.’

I heard beasts crying out from time to time, and I heard rustling bushes. Unlike my assumption that I would start out with Jung Ha-Yan and Han Sora, I couldn't see those two anywhere I looked.

I heard someone scream from afar, and it startled me to the point of cowering.

I checked my stats, but my abilities on the continent were locked. The physical stats that I had achieved through hard work and my fleshly body, capable of performing lethal sword techniques, couldn't do any of that at all.

Just like the time when I first arrived on the continent, nothing was ready at all. I was beyond surprised and furious at the realization. This wasn’t what we had agreed on.

Chanelia had promised that I would receive full support.

‘Something probably went wrong.’

“...”

'Since something happened, shouldn’t she try to fix it?’

A minute passed, and at this point, I ought to hear some kind of feedback, but…

[Let me tell you more about the Beginner’s Trial tutorial…]

I was hearing ridiculous things, so I had to say something.

"What’s going on, you jerk?"

[The tutorial of the Rohen Continent— Huh? W-What’s going on?]

"Can you hear me?"

[T-The quest you must fulfill—Huh? Wh-What’s going on? Sir! Can you come here, please? Something is off… A new member has arrived, but there’s an error.]

"Forget about calling your superior and tell me your damn name!"

[Uh… what?]

"Are you in charge of the tutorial? What’s your name and position?"

[What?]

"Can’t you hear me, damn it? I’ve asked you many times what your name and position were, but you can’t seem to hear me.

"Why are you handling things like this? Didn’t you hear anything from the higher-ups? Didn’t you receive a report from Chanelia Hermes?

"The more I think about it, the more ridiculous this becomes to me. Why are you handling it this way? How did the Rohen Continent… train their administrators… damn it…"

[Ah… I-I-I… I’m… sorry. I-I just joined, so… I’m not really sure…]

"I’ll say it a third time. What’s your name and position?"

[I’m Gharbia, a low-ranking a-administrator in charge of the t-tutorial… hiccup.]

"Contact the higher-ups right now, find out what’s going on, and report back to me. Actually, before you do that, open a communication channel and see if you received any official documents.

"And didn't the tutorial start a few days ago? Isn't it strange that there's a newcomer, even though it has been a few days since the tutorial started?"

[T-The task that was assigned to me is guiding those in the tutorial… I-I was just… following the manual…]

"Official documents."

[I-If you wait just a moment… Ah… ah! I have something! I got something, Mr. Lee Ki-Young.]

“...”

[L-Looking at the official documents. I… think there’s a problem right now…]

"I know there’s a problem, but what exactly is that problem…"

[The higher-ups are trying to figure out what the problem is. F-First, I would like to give infinite thanks and glory to the God of Sacrifice and Revival… for coming to Rohen to give us advice about Rohen’s current state of affairs and political situation…]

"Get to the point."

[Yes, sir! I-It’s written here that an unknown error occurred while you were entering Rohen. We proceeded with the summoning process after fulfilling all the conditions you requested… but the system… must have thought that we had interfered…]

‘Damn it…’

[They wanted me to tell you that this isn't Rohen’s fault.]

“...”

[It’s an ongoing process, God of Sacrifice and Revival. Of course, the system is still—]

The low-ranking administrator was still talking, but I couldn’t hear any of it.

‘I should’ve considered that.’

It was my fault for not considering the possibility that the system would intervene.

Actually, it wasn’t that I hadn't considered it. I was checking the system’s reaction as I entered Rohen.

The system was an unbreakable law that governed the dimensions. There were basic laws, such as the higher-ups managing dimensions through faith, not allowing the demon lords to use their powers outside of their domain, and the basic elements maintaining the foundation of the continent.

Strictly speaking, the system wasn't interested in the suffering of Rohen's denizens or Rohen's imminent destruction.

The system was only interested in things that would upset the balance of the dimension or things that would go against the laws of the dimension.

Basically, the three demon lords had entered Rohen through legal means and were dealing with the penalty given to them.

‘I don’t exactly know how the demon lords came to take root here, but…’

They had to have received permission from the system using their own methods.

‘Meanwhile...’

Everything was a first for me. They hadn't simply summoned a god of another continent to Rohen. I was summoned through the tutorial system. It was unprecedented and unusual. Living gods like Kim Hyun-Sung, Jung Ha-Yan, Cha Hee-Ra, and me were rare as well.

I thought it was fair to enter with even a bigger nerf than what was originally planned, so I came to an agreement with the administrators of Rohen before entering the continent, but…

‘It’s not like an avatar was used to enter, so why do I have a ninety-nine percent nerf on my stats? I thought it would be below forty percent. Damn it, what am I supposed to do now?’

The system had to have thought that my presence, along with Jung Ha-Yan and Han Sora's presence, would harm the balance of the dimension. I had decided not to bring the entire guild with me, as I knew something like this would happen.

‘I shouldn’t have brought Ha-Yan with me.’

I was sure that she was the problem. If I had to give an example, I'd say that the immigration had decided to ask her for a second interview. The system then considered her a type of cheat key, and in order to approve her entry, it had to take many things away from her.

‘So that’s why it split us up.’

In addition to nerfing us, it probably thought that making us completely useless would make things balanced.

‘We were too complacent.’

Jung Ha-Yan was a master of magic who had achieved many things, and she was also the Goddess of Magic. She was useful and was a powerful combatant. Considering the fact that her magic had no limit, I wasn't surprised if the system thought of her as a disruptor of Rohen’s ecosystem.

The Rohen Continent was a continent with an existing magic system, so the system had to have been particularly sensitive toward Jung Ha-Yan. I had chosen Ha-Yan so that we could provide a quick way for the others to enter this continent, increase our forces, and make Woo Hyo-Yeol join us, but…

‘Maybe I should’ have brought Deok-Gu or Hye-Jin instead.’

[God of Sacrifice and Revival.]

‘No, it could’ve been dangerous for Hye-Jin, as she was trying to get her foot into the door as well. Maybe I should’ve brought Yoo Ah-Young or Chang-Ryeol.’

[God of Sacrifice and Revival?]

Bringing Han Sora was a no-brainer. There were demon lords here, so a black mage was necessary.

[G-God of Sacrifice and Revival!]

"Yes?"

[M-Monsters are approaching.]

I turned my head toward where the sound was coming from and saw a monster approaching on all four feet.

“Rooooooooar!”

“You should’ve told me earlier! Damn it!” I shouted.

[I-I’m sorry…]

“Shit!”

I immediately grabbed a stone beside me and threw it at the monster.

‘I can defeat them.’

The difficulty of the tutorial dungeon was low enough for ordinary people to clear it. Even though my stats were nerfed, Average-rank monsters were easy for me to handle.

“Roooooooooooar!”

“Shit! Requesting support! Requesting support! Say something! Anything!” I shouted.

[Huh? T-The support we can provide right now… has to be something allowed by the system… the hidden piece in the tutorial dungeon… Ah… t-this won’t work. It says in the manual that the h-hidden piece needs to be found by Adventurer—]

“Hey! Hey!” I yelled.

[H-Hold on… Ah! I got it! It might feel kind of rushed, but there’s the holy sword…]

“Why would you give me a holy sword?!” I complained.

[Ah! F-For now…]

“Just do something! Please!” I begged.

I managed to push the face of the quadrupedal monster that was baring its teeth greedily at me, but I couldn’t push its claws away.

Its claws were digging into me as I was struggling to break free.

I cried a bit due to the strong pain I felt for the first time in a while, but what upset me even more was that I was getting beaten up by a low-ranking monster. If I at least had a sword, I could use my lethal sword techniques to slice the monster into pieces.

“Ugh… Ah! Ah! Shit! I’m dying! I’m dying! Ugh! I’m dying!” I shouted.

“Krrr… Rooooooooar!”

“Move your claws! You jerk, your claws! Argh…” I yelled.

[S-Sir!]

“Don’t call me that!” I said.

[G-God of Sacrifice and Revival! I received permission.]

“Ack!”

[It has been approved!]

“Just give me anything!” I shouted.

That was when I heard a voice...

[The Gatekeeper of Heaven has shown interest in you.]

‘Huh?’

[The Soft Hands That Touch Leather are trying to help you.]

[The Lowest Abyss of the Abyss wants to save you.]
