Mu Wei instantly regretted the words that escaped his mouth, and a sweat dripped down his forehead. 'Well shit. This is probably one of the worst decisions I've made in my whole entire life. Please make my death painless.'
The air in the room seemed to have gotten colder than usual and there was a dreadful silence that laid upon it. In the corner of Mu Wei's eyes, he could've sworn he saw Chan-Yeol's jaw drop at this sudden confession of his.
At this moment, Mu Wei was seriously debating with himself whether or not he should just dig up his own grave and disappear. However, a small fire also ignited inside him furiously, 'This is seriously unfair; I get transmigrated into this stupid novel I read, and I don't even have those cheats you see in the novels. I mean seriously, where's my overpowered system that's supposed to give me coins I can earn and buy things! This is so unfair! It's like playing a game on hard mode.'
Right. He was a transmigrator. A transmigrator with a useless ability to add. Not only did Mu Wei get transmigrated here after he got stabbed in a gasoline station, but he was also assigned a mission to save the world. Oh, wait. This isn't all that's happened. On top of being a transmigrator, one of his useless and cursed abilities was that every time he would die, time would rewind. Might seem overpowered but it's not really like that if you were assigned to save the world.
This is probably Mu Wei's 5th time regressing back in time. At some point in his regressions, Mu Wei wanted to live a normal life and run to a place far away. However, it was completely pointless since he'd die from the most unexpected reasons like a door landing on his head and giving him a concussion. He'd be sent back to the start of the novel.
Here's what happened, Mu Wei was an actor and had just finished filming some scenes from the studio. He had an unlucky feeling that day and left work early. Well, after he was scolded first by his manager.
Since that morning, Mu Wei felt very unusual and throughout the day he saw many black crows flying. As someone that believed in omens, this was a very bad sign. He became cautious of everything around him and wasn't himself at all.
'This is weird. Am I the only one that sees the black crows flying around almost everywhere I go? It's like it's following me.'
Aside from that, he was a good at his profession and he wouldn't make many mistakes while filming either. No, a good actor was an understatement. He was a great actor that had many fans around the world, but we'll dig deeper into that another time.
Anyways, he got off early from work and went home in fear that something terrible might happen. 'Don't kill me now please, I still have so much food I haven't tried yet.'
However, it's like something suddenly pulled his attention over and he took a stop at a gasoline station. Mu Wei wouldn't normally do this for fear that the paparazzi may notice him, and he'd be the headlines for a week. But for some reason, that night he really wanted to go in and have some ice cream.
As Mu Wei entered the gasoline station, it went pretty normal. The cashier was someone that seemed to be an old man who didn't recognize him and there were almost no people in the gasoline station that night. It felt eerily silent. Mu Wei pushed this suspicion of his to the back of his mind and decided to eat the ice cream at the gasoline station for now.
After a few minutes had passed, Mu Wei cleaned up the box of ice cream he had just ravaged and went to get some tissues in the bathroom. However, as he was walking there, a certain black image appeared in his peripheral vision. As he turned his head fully around in the direction of the glass. He saw many black crows staring at him through the clear window. There was only two words going through Mu Wei's mind right now and one of them was a curse word.
'Oh shit'
Mu Wei muttered under his breath. He quickly turned around and went to the bathroom. He locked the door quickly and by this point, his feet were practically noodles. He looked in the mirror and his normal pale complexion became scarily pale. His hands were shaking, and he was sweating profusely.
Oh right, this is probably a good time to clear some things up. Despite being transmigrated into a novel, for some reason he bared the same name and appearance of the cannon fodder of the novel.
Anyways, Mu Wei decided to calm down for now and pour the cold water on his face. He needed something to distract his senses for now. After taking some time to calm down, Mu Wei took a deep breath and went out.
He glanced at the large clear window again and the crows were gone.
'Maybe I'm being too cautious about this. I just need to stop thinking about this and go home.'
However, as he stepped outside the gasoline station, he saw a hooded man looking straight at him. Mu Wei broke eye contact and quickly ran away and headed to the car.
'FUCK. FUCK. FUCK. IS THIS REALLY HOW I DIE?'
Mu Wei ran as fast as he could and as he turned around, he saw the man chase after him carrying a knife. He felt that this would be the night were he'd die, and he used all his energy to scream loudly. 'Shit. Who cares if they found out I went to a gasoline station. I'm about to die!'
"HELP!! HELP ME!!!" He was filled with sweat and after running for so long his energy was about to be depleted.
However, his hopes were quickly crushed as he spit out blood. Due to his weak stamina, the man quickly caught up with him and stabbed him.
'Fuck. This is fucking unfair.'
Were the last thoughts Mu Wei had before his vision was fully blacked out. He couldn't even recognize the hooded man and his running became useless. The last thing he saw was the crow staring at him as he laid on the ground bleeding.
