Apocalypse Regression's

The Burden of a Name

When he returned to the carriage, Ark saw the figure of Leon sitting with a pensive expression.

Despite hating the group of Third Scars, Ark himself did not really hate Leon. The man looked rude and simple-minded. But behind it all, there was a certain reason why he became this kind of person.

"Hey, Big Cat! Come here for a minute."

Ark said in an indifferent tone.

Leon looked up. Looking towards the black-robed and masked figure calling out to him, he frowned.

"What do you want, Hades? If you want to challenge me, forget it. I'm not in the mood."

Ignoring Leon's words, Ark still said.

"Cabin."

His words this time were cold and firm.

The big man finally got up and walked towards the Ark. Despite not knowing the reason, he felt that what the black-robed figure would say was very important.

Two people face each other. Although it seemed rather attractive, people who were exhausted and feeling depressed were not in the mood at all to notice them.

Without looking up, Ark said in a low voice.

"I know you're worried because the world's gone awry. I also know you want to be strong because that's your reason for living. More precisely, so that you do not forget your sister, you continue to fight and try to become stronger.

It's just, I hope you don't get lost and—"

Swooshes! Bang out!

A powerful fist swung towards him, but Ark held him back easily. He even took a deep breath before saying.

"You should have listened to it first."

"HOW DID YOU KNOW?! YOU ... WHO ACTUALLY?"

An angry expression appeared on Leon's face. The man really couldn't hold back his emotions. I was shocked and scared when I heard Ark.

Unlike the criminals who break into prison cells for various complicated and evil reasons, Leon is actually arguably the man who went to prison for stupid reasons.

Because Leon could no longer meet a strong person he could fight with!

It all started when Leon was a kid. He has a sister. Both are midfielders who cannot live well. Even less fortunate compared to Ark and his sister.

Accidents happen one after another. Not only can't live well, Leon lost his younger brother at a young age due to gangster fighting in the area they live in.

At that moment, Leon blamed himself. He felt that his brother had died because he was weak. He felt that his brother died because he was stupid. Feeling that his sister died because he was not a good brother, could not provide a decent place of life for his sister.

After burying his sister's body, the sad Leon lives a few days in distress and confusion.

One morning, he suddenly almost forgot his own sister's face. The only family he has.

Leon admitted that he was not smart and could not remember many things. But she was reluctant to forget her sister. The boy then vowed not to forget his sister.

The reason why his sister died was because he was weak and could not give his sister a decent life. Therefore ... Leon started fighting.

As long as he fought and became stronger, he would always remember his sister!

Fight for moldy bread in the trash, fight as the leader of a small group, to fight as the boss of a notorious gangster group in town. The man continued to spend time fighting and continued to fight.

Until one day ... Leon didn't meet anyone worthy of being his opponent!

So when killing another gangster boss and the police came, he didn't run away. Even chose to surrender. The reason was simple, because there were definitely stronger people in prison.

That's how Leon spent his life.

This story was spread quite widely in Ark's previous life. The story of a powerful warrior who continues to fight only to remember his younger brother. The story of a poor boy who could not even take pictures with his sister and could only keep his sister's appearance in his mind, until finally crawling up. Become one of the experts known to many!

Ignoring the crazed Leon, Ark continued to say.

"You can keep that feeling, but don't get lost on the wrong path. Besides, I want to give you some advice."

After saying that, Ark held onto Leon's shoulder. He then pulled her down easily, making the big man slightly bow.

Ark then whispered.

"If you no longer have a reason to stay in Black Panther, you can come to where the Dark Caravan usually trades.

Even if it doesn't enter right away, I can give you a lighter exam."

Ark said casually while walking away. Leon stared at the man's back with tightly clenched hands. A complicated and confused expression appeared on his face.

Meanwhile, at the place where the Silver Cross group had gathered.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Julian."

Jimmy stood in front of Julian who was sitting leaning back. Looking at the pale face of the Silver Cross group leader, he felt somewhat guilty. But the decision is unanimous.

"It's okay. I get it."

Julian said in a flat tone. His expression seemed empty. The man scoffs at himself.

"After all, you won't end well if you follow a useless group leader like me."

"No!" Jimmy shook his head. "You're great! You are a good leader! You are a hero in the eyes of many. A person who helps others selflessly."

"..."

Seeing Julian be silent, Jimmy smiled bitterly. He looks nervous. Yet he still clenched his hands tightly while saying.

"Just, we're a bit selfish. We want to help, but not everyone. We are still selfish. I feel that our lives are more important.

You know, Mr Julian? Rick is an innocent kid. He admires you sincerely. Do you dream of being a strong man who helps others like you? Thenwhat?

He was stabbed to death. Good youth seemed to ... die in such a way. Not to die to fight heroically strong monsters, but to die at the hands of the person he was trying to help?

I really can't accept that kind of thing!"

Rick is a friend of Jimmy and one of four victims who died on this mission. That's what makes Jimmy feel depressed.

"I understand. Twelve of you have already explained the reason why you joined the Silver Cross before. You don't have to explain it anymore.

You can go."

Hearing Julian's flat answer, Jimmy's hands clenched tightly.

"That's right! Stop acting like you're not doing anything wrong! You always thought that those who died had nothing to do with you!

Do you even care about your comrades, JULIAN!!!"

Hearing that, Julian immediately got up. She grabbed Jimmy's collar, pulled him up and then hit him in the face with the other hand.

BRUISES!

Jimmy rolled down the street.

"Do you think I want them dead? Die to protect me when a zombie wave strikes? Dying on mutant rats? Even dying foolishly at the hands of the person they were trying to save?

Do you know what it's like to see their faces when I close my eyes? Do you know how I'm afraid to sleep at night? I used to feel that it was better to die, but right now I'm afraid to die!

I'm afraid to meet them in the afterlife! I feel ashamed of them for not making any changes to the world!

Carrying the burden of the dead on my shoulders .. It feels really heavy! Makes it hard for me to breathe, let alone keep moving forward!

Her hero? DON'T KIDDING ME!"

Julian covered his face with his hands. Tears continued to flow and fell onto the dusty ground.

Everyone just looked at Julian in silence, completely speechless.

Even if Ark was here, he wouldn't say anything. The young man had experienced it himself. Years of living while shouldering people's expectations. A sense of suffocation even when standing still.

Ark really knows .. the weight of the word "Hero".
