A few hours passed since I woke up. The shock of this world's timeline eventually settled in.
'This was what the figure meant.'
The price I had to pay for bringing the pink chicken along was to be reincarnated into this doomed timeline.
It was later revealed in the novel that this timeline – the 1st timeline – was supposed to have a guaranteed bad end. Even if Jae-sung hadn't been betrayed he would've still failed.
Adding insult to injury, it is impossible to win the final battle without failing once. Without Jae-sung's regression, everything was as good as dead.
I sighed involuntarily while recalling the reason behind it.
"Haaah…"
"Is something the matter, young master?"
"No"
Smiling brightly, Yula continued to help me dress up for the event. Tonight, there was a ball taking place to celebrate the end of the Rite of Passage. I would also be going there.
"Young master, can I ask you a question?"
"Mhm"
