Episode 2 – Previous Life Experiences
***
Siwoo felt dizzy and painstakingly opened his eyes.
Observing the surroundings, he was in a somewhat dark back passageway, and there were three thugs standing there.
Damnit damnit!
Before he could understand the situation, he felt a powerful punch on his cheek.
"Ouch!"
Shouts burst out from the fragile body.
One of them beat up Siwoo, who had become a child.
"Hey, little boy. Where'd your friend go?"
Siwoo.
This was a different space when he closed his eyes and opened it inside the room.
Moreover, as soon as he opened his eyes, he was instantly beaten.
'Damn, what is this...?'
Besides, those thugs speak in Chinese...? How did they find out?
In an instant, the entire present life was unearthed in his mind.
Siwoo staggered from the intense headache and groaned.
"?!..!"
The same time passed, and all the memories from his current body appeared in his mind.
I clenched my teeth at the sudden injection of memories.
"Damn it! What about being beaten and beaten? Do you think I'll hit you like that? You bastard, if you don't want to get hit, just finish it!"
Poo-o!
'Damn..!'
Thugs like dogs were kicking out.
Of course, he was beaten up without being able to escape.
I felt a terrible pain in my stomach.
Fortunately, the headache disappeared along with the pain, and the memories were well-ordered.
I don't know the exact age, but a boy less than 10 years old.
The three people in front of this are trashy bastards who catch and sell children.
But these people threatened to tell me where they were hiding their friend.
Even stranger, this world is the world of the warriors of Murim, where the League of Murim exists.
This is common knowledge even at a young age.
I stared intently at the thug while reorganizing the memories that had been unearthed in my mind.
'It's like shit'
The thug with the scar on his face approached Siwoo with a laugh.
"Son, are you glaring?!"
That person tried to step on him with a scornful expression.
I didn't want to be beaten by these fools, so I rolled on the ground to avoid the attack.
I immediately touched my waist, but only touched the cloth. Somehow, the equipment disappeared.
'Damn, sword..!'
Apparently, I was wearing full gear in the room, but now it's gone. My body changed, but there was no way my equipment would remain.
The man with the scar on his face said as he stuck out his tongue.
"Five! The destruction? How's baby? Hey, let's sell this guy too. It must have been quite expensive since his limbs were still intact and alive."
The hairy man who was watching from behind stopped him and smiled with disdain.
"Hei~ Keep yourself. Did you use it when you beat up a kid? Son, we're not bad people. Tell me where your friend is and I'll let you go. Don't you hate pain too? Tell me where the pretty girl with silver hair is. Yea?"
Behind the fur, the man with the knife scar growled as he toyed with the bakdo.
"Damn. I'll tell you after I cut off my limbs. Let's start with the fingers."
"Hey wait. My friend, this guy is so cruel. I'm having a hard time dealing with it too. Where'd your friend go? Yea?"
They act like good cops and bad cops.
It was absurd, but it was also a difficult situation for an ordinary child to endure.
Unlike their bad acting, the violence was real.
Siwoo's body was young, but his mind was mature. He had seen many deaths and violence in the past. Now, he's stuck with three thugs who threaten him.
The first thug, who was hairy, said that they would let him go if he told them where his friend was. The second thug, who had a knife scar, threatened to use force if Siwoo did not provide the information they wanted.
Siwoo realized that there was no guarantee that they would let him go after he provided the information. He felt sorry for himself being weaker than those thugs, but he also knew that he could not rely on them to protect him.
In a bold move, Siwoo leapt forward and quickly pierced the neck of the feathered thug, causing blood to radiate. The thug with the knife scar was shocked to see Siwoo's actions.
Siwoo was surprised to see Sir Baal appear. With his sword, Sir Baal cut off the head of the feathered man on guard. That sword was the 20 million won sword that Siwoo summoned from [Inventory (temporarily)]. The sword was extremely sharp, like an expensive sword.
Although the equipment he was wearing disappeared, the items in [Inventory (temporarily)] were still intact.
The sudden attack was successful, but Siwoo's weak body was disturbed. He tried to chase the criminals, but his body did not respond.
Siwoo frowned.
"My body feels heavy."
This was his first murder, but his mind was only filled with the desire to kill those criminals.
The beheaded hairy man fell down while gripping his neck and quivering.
"Damn it! What's this!"
"Poetry, motherfucker... Isn't this a treasure...?"
The two archers who were confused started to come to a realization. Siwoo felt sorry for them. In his attempt to control the body, he missed the best time for a surprise attack.
The two conscious criminals are caught up in greed. A sword stuck in the air...! They could not imagine what kind of treasure lay before them.
They looked at each other with wide eyes. One of them nodded his head slightly and rushed forward.
They're more used to fighting than I thought.
Forcibly, I pointed my heavy sword at him. My wrists sprained and the pain hit.
I bit my lips and stared intently at the man in front of me. He planned to avoid it by stabbing it with his sword and rolling over. However, something was flying from the side.
It was black sand.
Reflexes, I closed my eyes, but a few grains entered my eyes.
"Yet…!"
I screamed loudly from the sudden pain, but I bit my lip and held it in.
I felt a burning sensation in my eyes, maybe not ordinary sand.
Despite the pain, I forced myself to open my eyes.
Goddamnit!
At that moment, I felt a shock in my stomach.
"Gagging-!"
Face protector!
It flew through the black air and fell to the ground.
"Huh, you poisonous bastard... Won't you cry even if you're exposed to poisonous sand?"
"Khehehe...! The arrogant boy must have done it..."
'It's very painful.'
The world that seemed dim turned red. Breathing becomes difficult.
Every time I breathe, I feel unbearable pain.
Just then, a man drew his sword and pierced my heart mercilessly.
I can't avoid it.
'Death like this...?'
Siwoo stared blankly at Park Do who was getting closer.
It was a futile death.

The time when a boy stabbed his heart and died.
One of the bullies who had been decapitated was dead, and the other two were staring at each other and playing around with their weapons.
If he were to bring this sword that protruded from the air to the black market and sell it, it would be a bloody sale.
They stared at each other and fell into an uncomfortable silence.
Before running off with a clinking sword.
A little girl emerged from the trash pile in the corner of the hallway.
"Oh no!!"
I didn't even know this was my place to die and I hugged the boy who had become a corpse.
However, the dead body did not respond.
His appearance slightly eased the atmosphere. One of the bullies, who was staring at each other angrily, retreated slightly, he said.
"Hey, don't be greedy, let's divide it by half. Take this kid and sell."
"··· Good night."
After a rough deal, they looked at the girl.
"Keuheums... Silver hair and red eyes! Kyah! In old age, when you grow up, many men will cry."
"Gulps..! Shit, you're prettier than I've heard. This year will be very valuable, huh? We hit the jackpot today."
Joy filled their hearts.
The girl stared intently at the two bullies as if she wanted to kill them.
He picked up the sword lying on the floor, but could not aim it well due to the lack of strength.
"Khe Ankalzin Year of Education..."
"They're rubbish."
A cold voice echoed in the hallway.
"Who, who... Ohhhh..!"
In an instant, the two humiliators were beheaded and died with a hole in their hearts.
A mysterious woman approached the girl. Plainly, he said to the child who was staring at him.
"Very pathetic... Child anak. Would you like to come with me?"
A small light flashed in the boy's eyes as he lowered his gaze to the bodies of the bullies.
"···Ya."
"good. Hey, what's your name?"
"That's a wish..."
A precious friend who became my only support after my parents died.
However, he, like his parents, died.
He sniffed again the tears that he had endured for a long time.
***
One room.
Siwoo stroked the area where his heart was.
There is no pain, but the discomfort remains.
The equipment that was worn before leaving was still left on his body.
"Damn it, you bastards!"
He checked the stopwatch on the floor just to be sure.
7 seconds.
At least 5 minutes have passed arguing with the bullies, but not until 10 seconds have passed.
Even just for 7 seconds, after returning to his original body, it was the time when he stroked his chest in embarrassment. It didn't even last a second.
'It... Good.'
After all, once he accessed [District 21], he thought he would die because of the scoundrels like dogs. Fortunately, he returned to his original body, but he felt annoyed.
'Is Sohyang okay?'
His regret for a moment was also worried about the girl in his past life memories, but he was helpless now.
Although it was a cultivated memory, it did not have a significant effect on the current body, but he was somewhat worried about Ai, who was the only previous living body companion and his family.
-[District 21]: Death of the whole organism, waiting time for re-election (23:58.).
Although he tried to connect again, it was impossible due to the waiting time.
All he could think of was that he might not be able to master his dead body anymore.
Siwoo felt a slight discomfort.
'I'm not such a good person...?'
He only inherited Deokgu's memories, so he wondered why he was worried about a girl he had just met.
He cleared his confused mind. It was in the past.
'Earth 21 is... The world is like a martial land.'
[District 21] Named [Martial Arts District].
And while trying to check the mission reward, he hesitated.
She felt ashamed that she had forgotten something.
'What's up...?'
Realizing something, Siwoo's mouth opened slowly and he jumped up and shouted.
"Damn it, 20 million won!!"
