The Regressed Young Master’s Guide to Living on Easy Mode

Chapter 154 : The Truth (2)

Before my regression, I remember that day as a rather cold winter.

When I fumbled in my pocket, a single iron coin came out.

"On a day like this, it's gukbap!"

"Heck yeah! I've been waiting for winter!"

I was in a corner of the street, listening to the voices leaking out of the inn, and I imagined gukbap in my head.

"The gukbap is here!"

"That's right! Innkeeper! Give me another side of noodles here!"

Inside the earthenware pot, the gukbap with steam rising.

I put a handful of noodles in it.

As the noodles loosen, I put in a handful of seasoning.

The pure white broth turns red, and the seasoning seeps out.

The birth of the greatest luxury in life.

I scoop up the noodles with my chopsticks and eat them, measuring the appropriate temperature of the gukbap.

"Shall we start eating?"

"Aren't you having a drink?"

"I was waiting for those words!"

Drip, drip.

I pour the alcohol and toast myself for working hard today.

"What are you looking at? You beggar bastard!"

I thought I was looking from afar, but it seems I was caught.

I bowed my head deeply and quickly left the street.

But the innkeeper's steps approaching me were faster than mine. I tried to hasten my steps, but with a hole in my dantian, it was impossible to run.

Thud.

The accumulated experience from the shoulder that was eventually caught dominated my whole body. I trembled without realizing it and bowed my head even more.

"What? This beggar bastard. Aren't you the one who got beaten up by me last time?"

I learned the day after I was kicked out of the Divine Cult that the law of the jungle exists in any world.

"I'm in a bad mood today, so let's get beaten up a little."

The innkeeper, perhaps because he had been attending a martial arts school recently, accurately planted his fist in my solar plexus 10 times with a clumsy motion and then returned to the inn.

"If you secretly look again next time, you'll see me, a new martial arts master, again. Hehe."

I lay on the ground and looked up at the sky.

"Fuck."

Would anyone believe it?

That I was once the young leader of the Divine Cult.

White dust was falling from the sky in countless numbers.

I let out a sigh of relief.

Because it seemed I wouldn't have to go hungry tomorrow.

When I woke up at dawn and went to the village square, many people had gathered. Their identities were vagrants like me. They were gathered in one place, smoking cheap tobacco.

"Would you like a smoke? Of course, it's two iron coins per cigarette."

Smoking tobacco here meant that you were recognized for your labor.

It was a person who did a job that a person with a hole in his dantian like me could not do.

"I only have one iron coin."

"Tsk, tsk. Your situation is pitiful. It's my treat, have a smoke here."

Today was a lucky day. Because I had earned a whole iron coin for free.

With the tobacco in my hand, I looked intently at the person who had given me the tobacco.

"What? You want another one? This person has to have some shame!"

I said to him, who was getting angry.

"I don't have a flint. I need a fire to smoke."

"Ah! I see. Here you go."

I received a small flint that could fit in one hand, and clack, clack! I struck them together and lit the tobacco.

With the sound of the tobacco burning, I took a deep breath, and the turbid air entered deep into my lungs.

Why are the bad things in the world so delicious?

Enjoying the luxury after a long time, I exhaled white smoke.

I felt the strength of my prostate, which I couldn't control due to my broken dantian, draining away.

"I think I'm going to piss myself."

The man who had heard my words quickly moved away from me. I also didn't like the idea of walking around with wet pants all day from the morning, so I went behind a wall and lowered my pants.

"We're going to distribute the work from now on! Is everyone here?"

At the words of one of the villagers who was distributing the work, I quickly pulled up my pants and hurried to the square.

And the work I received today was, as expected, cleaning up cow dung, which everyone avoided. For the record, the snow was a bonus.

In my eyes, the white dust falling from the sky looked like gold nuggets.

* * *

It might not be for others, but today could be said to be a rather lucky day.

I had smoked a free cigarette from the morning, and in the work I took on afterwards, I received my day's wages plus the cost of clearing the snow.

So now I was in front of the inn.

"Hah! Did you not get beaten enough yesterday? This beggar bastard is here again?"

I proudly showed the wages I had received today to the innkeeper who was cursing at me as soon as he saw me.

Exactly 5 iron coins.

It was a price that could buy a bowl of gukbap and a bottle of cheap bamboo leaf liquor.

"I came as a customer today."

"S-So what?"

"Guide me."

Enjoying the reaction of the flustered innkeeper at my confident appearance for the first time, I went into the inn. I confidently placed the 5 iron coins on the table and said.

"Bring me a bowl of gukbap and a bottle of bamboo leaf liquor, you innkeeper bastard."

Intently.

As I was staring at the innkeeper as I had in the past, I saw the innkeeper stealthily lower his eyes.

"Fuck. Look at his eyes just because he has a little money."

The innkeeper, who had cursed so that only I could hear, picked up the money on the table and went into the kitchen.

Having taken revenge, not revenge, on the innkeeper for the first time since settling in this village, I sat on the chair with a proud heart and waited.

After waiting for a while, the innkeeper threw the gukbap and bamboo leaf liquor on the table. Because of that, the soup splattered on my clothes, but since my clothes were already in a state of unity with cow dung, it didn't really matter.

I took a sip of the gukbap soup with a wooden spoon. After that, I was so busy eating that I don't remember how I ate the gukbap and alcohol.

After drinking all the tea that the inn gave me, I came out of the inn with a feeling of fullness that I had felt after a long time.

The sky I looked up at was the same as usual, but for some reason, today's sky looked a little more peaceful than yesterday.

Is this fullness?

As I was returning home like that, I looked up at the sky again and opened my mouth.

"I knew my luck was too good."

I learned after my stomach was pierced that a person has to live according to his means.

Today's me was a series of life that exceeded my means.

The atmosphere of the street was different from usual.

No matter how remote the place I lived was, one or two people would usually pass by at this time.

Crows would also cry in the sky.

Looking at the street where not even an ant was passing by, I said.

"I was wondering when you would come."

At the same time as my words ended, people wearing masks appeared.

Stab.

I said to the masked person who was stabbing me in the stomach without any warning.

"That's already been pierced, you bastard."

There are many connections in the world. And most of those connections were bad ones.

Because in the world, good things don't happen even as much as a rat's dick, but bad things happen so often that you can hear about them commonly around you.

You might think this world is unreasonable, but when it happens to you, it's true that it's unreasonable.

Among the many people, why does this happen to me?

Isn't it really fucked up?

"You are me. To be precise, you are a substitute who will carry on my fate after I die."

Would you believe it if I said that my life so far has been a well-written play?

"What are you talking about?"

"I was planning to perform the Great Reversal of Heaven Art and put my soul into your body. As I said before, because you are me."

My father was a gambler, and my mother was a courtesan. And my grandfather was a delusional person.

A damn family.

"But my daughter ran away with you. She said it was disgusting or something. Isn't it funny?"

"It's not funny."

"Hehe. It's a pity. If only I had a little more time. Now I don't even have the strength to move a small piece of my soul."

"What the hell have you been talking about since a while ago!"

The old man, the Dragon God Lord, had lived for a long time, which would be impossible for an ordinary person.

He was once a hero who had saved the world.

And he now wished for the world to be destroyed more than anyone else.

"What do you think of this world now? Have you never felt it was unreasonable?"

"Old man, if you're senile, just live until you shit your pants in the corner of your room and then die peacefully."

"I saved the world from a great evil, but the world I looked back on was still full of evil. So I punished all the evil I saw. But you know what's funny? In other places, another evil was being born. Hehe."

It wasn't funny at all.

"The world is incomplete. You would know if you had glimpsed causality, wouldn't you?"

I had glimpsed it, but I didn't have any thoughts.

"Because the world is incomplete, no matter how much you get rid of evil, new evil is constantly born. Just like that guy, the Heavenly Killing Star."

"Soma is the Heavenly Killing Star?"

The old man ignored my words and continued his own.

"So I decided to make this incomplete world complete. The day to achieve that has finally come, but it is very regrettable that I cannot be there with you. I never thought that even in this era, a person who could affect causality like me would appear."

-Even if I die, I will stop you.

The Dragon God Lord recalled her last words.

He thought that perhaps the Mad World Heavenly Demon Yoo Jin-sung was her reincarnation.

Just as she had said.

Because he had succeeded in interfering with him.

The Dragon God Lord cast his gaze far away.

A single girl was lying on the floor.

Although the Mad World Heavenly Demon Yoo Jin-sung seemed to have prepared a countermeasure to prepare for the future he had glimpsed through causality, in his view, it was nothing more than a struggle.

Because that child was also incomplete.

"Yin and yang were born from nothing, and the world was created by the harmony of yin and yang. The reason why the current world is incomplete is because this harmony of yin and yang has not been achieved."

"I'm not interested in studying philosophy, old man."

It was a pity.

Continuing his words, the Dragon God Lord imagined the things that would happen in the future in his head.

A world where evil has disappeared and is full of good.

Yes, a world where everyone is peaceful.

"Aren't you curious? Why your growth stopped at the peak of the Transcendent Realm. That's because your body is a half-piece."

The Dragon God Lord had performed one experiment on his grandson.

A human is also called a microcosm.

That was actually true.

Everything in this world is incomplete.

But only humans could exist as a complete being with reason.

The Dragon God Lord had deliberately broken the harmony of yin and yang in his grandson's body, who was most similar to him in this world. To be precise, he had deliberately gotten rid of the yin part of his body.

Originally, his grandson was a grandson who would have inherited his own fate and had the talent of the ages.

The body of a Dragon King.

A body that exists only in fantasy, which is said to be the king of all dragons.

Although his grandson seemed to have received the yin body left by the Mad World Heavenly Demon, it was far from enough to fill his grandson's empty part.

In the first place, it was better not to have such a thing.

Although his grandson seemed to have already abandoned it, knowing such a thing.

"The current world, to put it bluntly, is a yang world. Therefore, it is incomplete, and no matter how much you punish evil, evil is constantly born. To fill the lacking yin part."

Yin and yang are opposites.

But yin and yang become complete only when they become one.

"So I decided to destroy this yang world. I will return to the primordial nothingness and create a complete world where yin and yang are in harmony again."

Originally, he was planning to return the yin body he had taken to his grandson, and at the same time, transfer his own soul.

He had made a plan for hundreds of years to create a body to transfer to.

He had had intercourse with numerous women and had left numerous children.

The Chaotic Heavenly Society was born like that, and in the end, the Chaotic Heavenly Society was also just one of the failures.

And the body that was most similar to him that he had finally obtained.

But that too had gone wrong in the end.

Now it was too late.

"Hehe. Grandson, you will have no choice but to destroy this world in my place."

Rustle.

The Dragon God Lord, who had lived for hundreds of years, became a mere dust and disappeared.

And that dust went into Yoo Jae-ha's nose.

"Cough, cough! Why is that flying at me! It feels so dirty!"

Huh? A sudden dizziness washed over his whole body.
