Chereads / My Yearn / Chapter 16 - Recall (1)

Chapter 16 - Recall (1)

"Ngh…"

The eyelids slowly lifted themselves over my eyes.

"Argh…"

My body ached terribly. If not for Master doing something with my body, I wouldn't have been able to wake up.

"Let's see…"

How long was I out? I looked around the room and there was no one. The door was closed and a dimly lighted candle rested beside me.

'He said I would wake up in a day so not long should have passed.'

"Ugh… damn, it hurts…"

I was sore all over and had to struggle to move a muscle.

But surprisingly, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

'Just what the hell did he do to me?'

I had no collection of what happened to me after I passed out but I could remember the words of my Master before my mind wandered off to darkness.

'You will wake up tonight. We will continue then.'

Whatever he did, he sure was thorough with that.

'Well, that's good.'

"Woah…"

That was quite an increase. All those deaths were undoubtedly worth it.

But now, there was another problem.

'Should I die again and go through everything again?'

It certainly wasn't a bad idea. I could keep on increasing my stats. I had all the time in the world.

'No.'

I was going to do that every day anyway. What was the meaning of doing everything again and sticking to the first day?

I was sure Master would add more to the "training" to squeeze my life out.

I looked towards the swords. They were neatly arranged, as always. Their sharp edge gave off a vibrant glow as if they were inviting me.

"Hm? You are awake?"

I turned to the door and I saw Master standing with… needles?

"That was a lot faster than I expected."

What was he talking about?

As if he read my mind, he immediately replied putting the needles near me.

"I am talking about you waking up. It should have taken a little bit more time but I guess it didn't."

"Ah… I understand."

But what was he going to do with those needles?

"Well, it's better if we get over it as soon as possible."

"Sorry?"

He was going to do something with my body.

"Lie down."

"I am sorry but I need to know first."

"Are you talking back now?"

"Ugh…"

This man… his fearsome nature kept me at the edge. What was going to happen to me now?

"I'll tell you."

His face seemed grave and worried.

I didn't have a good feeling about it…

"You have been cursed."

What…? Cursed?

"Someone, probably a high ranker, has cursed you. A pretty high ranking curse."

"Uh… I don't quite understand…"

"You mana, it is sealed, right?"

Come to think of it, my mana was sealed in my status. I thought it was because this body hadn't been able to adapt to mana yet. But I was wrong.

"This curse… it doesn't let me use mana, right?"

"Yes."

Master was straight-faced even now.

"I don't know what you've done to get yourself in such a situation. No, you probably were sacrificed."

Sacrificed… I never thought about the identity of this body but now, I had to know about this body and its past.

"You said your name was Kind Yulen, right?"

Master asked with a serious tone.

"Yes…"

My reply seemed weak now.

Being cursed meant that my, or rather, this body's past was complicated. I was sure people wouldn't just go around cursing people. And moreover, cursing someone so young like this body. It was not as simple as something like a grudge.

Who was I?

"Kind Yulen… you are from the Yulen family. And the only Yulen I know is…"

Master's face contorted to a dangerous frown. There was a cold fury seeping from his body. His eyes turned icy and something escaped his mouth in rage.

"Lenin Yulen…!"

"Argh…!"

A strong pain came over my head. It was… it was splitting my head apart.

There were people I didn't know. There were voices that were too distant and unknown.

'...yes, this boy is the one.'

Robed person... doing something to the boy.

"Ugh!"

"Oi!"

The pain was becoming unbearable by the second.

'This…'

This was someone else's life. I didn't know him but he looked like me.

He was… he was getting beaten but he didn't retaliate.

"AHHH!!!"

"What happened?! Oi!"

He was thrown aside. He was ostracized. He was looked down upon. He was stepped on.

'Who…?'

It was his parents.

"Ugh…!"

"Fuck…!"

The images were becoming hazy. The voices were fading.

'...you dare cry in front of me?! GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!'

'You are not a part of the Yulen from this day onwards.'

It hurts.

'It hurts…'

My head… it was killing me…

'It is a sin…'

'You just have to take a step and it will be over.'

A cliff… similar…

"ARGHHHHH!!!"

"Stay still!"

'...are you trying to take away my only retribution?'

Rain…

"ARGHH!!! UGH!!!"

'It is beautiful.'

"HELP—"

Tak—

I felt something snap in my head.

I passed out.
