[Regression time round used: 3rd]
Rewinding time again, starting the third regression.
In 15 seconds.
+
15 more seconds, and I can finally test the Stage 2 Ability of regression. I have to find a way to interact with the other NPCs because they might help. They're not annoying unlike Sam Yeonwoo, who looks so intimidating even in the game of A Thousand Regression.
In the game, Sam Yeonwoo is really the most annoying NPC; his attitude is just like in the game. If I regressed back, what's better is not to encounter Sam Yeonwoo but encounter the rest of the main NPCs.
If I encountered Sam Yeonwoo, I bet he would probably kill me again. Well, the thing is, I cannot save Hyun Cho again if I regress many times because he dies in many possible ways. What if? I set a point where Hyun Cho dies and not encounter Sam Yeonwoo in that scene?
Guess I'll try it then.

Rewinding time again, starting the third regression.
In 10 seconds.
+
It's starting. I'll try that again.
...

[Ability Activated]
Ability regression stage 2 has activated! Set pointing... Complete!
[Note]
Ability regression stage 2 has deactivated for the meantime. Do not die again because this skill has a cooldown if you use it.
+
Ah, I see. So I cannot spam use it, but it has a cooldown. Well, that's okay as long as I can set a point where I want to. I'll set a point where Hyun Cho died.
Hyun Cho pushes me and gets stabbed by the Skeleton Knight.
"Kim Seongwon.... run..." No matter what I do, I cannot save you. What's best is to leave you to die.
+
[Note]
Are you sure you are not going to save him in this scene?
+
Yeah, I'm not going to save him. He will die in many possible ways when I try to save him, so I think I have to let it go..
+
[Achievement Unlocked]
Move on to someone.
+
The heck is wrong with this? There are also achievements? The achievement I unlocked is weird! Well in the game, they're achievements but I didn't expect that they also exist now.
+
[Info]
Hyun Cho has died of bleeding.
[Danger!]
Skeleton knight!
Info: secret event!
Compensation: 1000 gold!
+
I have to find a way to defeat this before Sam Yeonwoo appears.
+
[Danger!]
Skeleton Knight has sensed your presence!
You are now the target!
+
Tsk.. it's starting... I really need to find a way to defeat this without using the item from the game.
The armor is so hard to pierce; what I need is something that can break through armor. I was looking around and found the metallic bat that was given to my cousin.
He gave this bat to me because he doesn't need it anymore since he graduated from college and went overseas. He was 4 years older than me; I bet his life is better than mine. I envy him pretty much.
+
[Danger!]
Skeleton Knight is about to strike you with his sword.
+
I then grab the metallic bat and manage to block the Skeleton Knight's sword.
Bam. He then hits me with his fist. I was a bit shocked and almost groaned. This reminds me of Sam Yeonwoo, who also hit my stomach. I barely managed to swallow back my groan that time! I still hate that NPC!
But wait? Skeleton Knight can do arm-to-arm combat? I didn't expect that they also learned this technique.
In the game, they don't know arm-to-arm combat techniques, but why did it change suddenly? There's no way... I hit back the Skeleton Knight with my knuckles, but it was a reckless idea; hitting armor with just physical attack isn't going to do much unless you put a spell on it.
I have to defeat this before Sam Yeonwoo arrives.
+
[Info]
—Burned your apartment down! It's your only way to defeat him.
+
What? I was shocked by what the info said. Why the heck would I burn down my apartment? It's the only place where I live, and yet there are neighbors around here.
+
[Info]
—If you didn't do it, you will suffer death for eternity even if you regress.
+
What?
Tsk, I guess I have no choice then.
+
[Danger!]
Skeleton knight!

I was looking around my apartment looking for something that can burn. I remembered that I have matches in the kitchen. What I need to do is burn the wire, then add water.
It can potentially lead to an explosion or a more intense fire due to the interaction between water and electricity.
Water conducts electricity, so adding water to a situation where a wire is already burning can create a risk of electric shock, further damage, or spreading of the fire.
+
[Achievement Unlocked]
Knowledge!
Triggering a wire to catch fire in your apartment, followed by adding water. Will it result in an explosion or ignite a fire? That's interesting!
+
Seriously? I even get an achievement like this? I kinda feel that the system is praising me or something.
+
[Danger!]
—you have been spotted!
+
Shit.
I run towards the kitchen and find the matches. What I need is an electric wire.
+
[Danger!]
Skeleton Knight is about to strike with his sword.
+
Damn it, I don't think I can make it.
I manage to dodge it.
I Looking around and find an electric wire. I light it up then add water, but it seems it doesn't work.
+
[Note]
—Explosion will start in a few seconds, please wait.
+
W–what? It won't work instantly?
+
[Note]
—It takes some time because it needs to reach its connection.
+
Is this some kind of logic?
Tsk.
The wire starts twitching.
I think it's time to leave because it will explode any second now.
+
[Note]
The explosion will begin in 4...
Shit.
"3."
I can make it!
"2."
I jump from the second floor to the first floor and land perfectly.
"1."
Boom. The apartment building explodes; lots of particles go flying, and some turn into dust. If I didn't make it, my body would turn into dust instantly.
+
[Congratulations!]
You have completed the secret event!
You have been given 1000 gold!
+
I did it.
Makes me wonder if I did kill someone there, right?
+
[Achievement Unlocked]
—Successfully eliminating an incarnation.
+
W-what? There's also an achievement like this? Fuck off; I only did this because I wanted to survive.
Wait... if I'm outside the apartment building, does that mean Sam Yeonwoo will arrive here probably right now? I need to hide!
I hide in the garbage nearby, and Sam Yeonwoo arrives just in time.
He looks suspicious about what happened but watches the apartment building burning into fire.
"W-what? It said here the secret event appears here? How come? Did someone know about the secret event? If I find that person, I will eliminate him."
Intimidating as ever. Fuck you, Sam Yeonwoo.
Sam Yeonwoo walks away, and I carefully watch him walking away because I'm expecting he will
check back later.
