Regressor Instruction Manual Chapter 483: Superstar L (1)

Chapter 483: Superstar L (1)

I could see the scenery before me changing quickly.
It seemed to be moving very fast; however, it was a very comfortable ride, unlike the speed. Naturally, I didn’t think the demons would ride in a carriage-like vehicle.
I wondered if it had been prepared for me, but the tentacle woman’s behavior sitting next to me was quite natural.
Regardless, I started to feel sorry for Jung Hayan because I was moving and stuck.
‘I wonder if she got back safely.’
I had no choice but to feel a little worried. No matter how much it was part of curing her habit, she looked quite miserable the last time I saw her.
She looked like a seven-year-old kid shouting at the mart asking for sweets, but the way she was shedding thick tears and crying out telling me not to go made me feel bad.
‘I think she’s going to feel guiltier…’
It was indeed right that I had created that situation for her to reflect and blame herself. It couldn’t be helped that some part of me was bothered. I got to understand how Hayan felt when she said she was sorry at the end…
She didn’t think the little embers she had thrown would come back so big.
Of course, as I was still alive, the ‘event’ from the first round wasn’t bound to happen. However, I was sure she would be overwhelmed by the great guilt coming since she would take the blame.
Personally, I felt sorry for her, but…
‘It’s the perfect time for her to reflect.’
It was necessary for her to feel that way. Of course, I didn’t think that would make her change completely. I was also worried that it might cause other trauma…
However, I felt satisfied since I taught her about karma.
That was the simple reasoning wherein what one had done would come back to them someday.
It didn’t apply to me, but just by making her realize it, I would be able to reduce her radius of impulsive actions a little more. I looked at the tentacle woman.
Unlike when I was with Jung Hayan, she looked quite polite, so I guessed she had received something from Belial. She seemed completely different from before when she harassed me with her mysterious tentacles.
It felt like she was treating me like a VIP member.
As if she felt my gaze, she talked to me, passing me over an unknown drink carefully.
‘Whoa, fuck. It tastes awful. What is this?’
-Is there anything making you uncomfortable?
“No. What would be uncomfortable? I’m just curious about if Hayan went back properly…”
-Hmm.
“…”
-Please wait. I’m checking it now. Currently… it has been confirmed that she has arrived at a place where several humans have gathered. Although she’s unconscious, I’ve sent a message from our side. The other humans should be taking care of her by now.
‘I guess she got back safely.’
I was worried that she might make a fuss about finding me, but she didn’t seem to be doing that.
She must’ve thought I needed help. However, what was more of a concern was the state of the joint training.
‘It must be a mess. It must be a real mess.’
I found the news that he was doing what I had pictured quite amazing. He seemed to understand very well how things should work in the future.
Indeed, it was not unreasonable to think of Belial.
-And you don’t have to worry about that crazy woman.
“Ah…”
-As I said earlier, that woman is someone whom Belial cares about too… I might have looked a little rough, but after a little time, she’ll wake up. It was also because she used more magic power than the damage I gave in the first place. Rather than a boring talk like this… hmm… what do you think? It will take a little longer before we arrive.
“Yes? What are you talking about…?”
-What did you think about what I said? I can’t say what I said when there was friction with the crazy woman, but if you want, I can make it so that you won’t ever think of a human female body…
“N-No. I’m fine.”
For some reason, I was scared that those words would indeed become a reality. Although her face itself was beautiful, it was true that something felt off about her.
Just thinking that I’d be ‘wooed’ by her wriggling tentacles was enough to make me shake my head.
Of course, Limur took this sullenly. She didn’t think she was going to be rejected.
-That’s too bad. I am willing to make some adjustments if my appearance does not satisfy you.
“No. No. Thank you for your words, but…”
-I’m quite popular among other demons… even with the ones a bit younger or even older.
“No. It’s really not for that reason. I’m very grateful, but I’m worried that this foolish mortal will truly fall in love with the beautiful Limur…”
-Even if you’re just saying it, I can’t help but be happy. However, you don’t have to say that. I’m not so great a demon that you have to speak up. And even if I’m not Belial, I’m friendly enough to you. It would be better to say that you’re our taste. Not only me but probably only a few of the demons will hate you. It’s natural to say you’re different from other humans.
‘Is that supposed to be a compliment?’
-It’s the first time in my life that I have seen a man with divine powers have such a disgusting soul. I can definitely feel the divine spirit, but your soul feels so dirty…
“Are… you not uncomfortable? I know that the divine power is deadly to the demons…”
-Not really. It feels a bit weird, but in your case, the disgusting soul is much bigger than the light inside… I don’t know if this would be accurate but think of it as a fermented food like cheese, for example. It smells nasty, but it tastes very good, right?
“Ah… Yes…”
-You’re a special cheese that’s rotten enough to make people think that you’ve been fermented for tens of thousands of years. Who would hate it? Naturally, everyone would want to taste it at least once. The same goes for me.
‘Is she cursing me?’
I wondered if she was actually making fun of me. However, Limur’s eyes showed her sincerity.
I thought the demon’s language expression and her gaze that looked at me like I was some sort of food was quite strange. She looked like she was having an uncomfortable time suppressing her desires.
‘Don’t be like this…’
-If you change your mind at any time, let me know. The offer will stay on the table.
“Ahem… Hmm hmm. Thank you very much for your words, but maybe… ahem. If possible, I would like to proceed with the contract in small doses.”
That’s when her attitude suddenly changed. In an instant, her expressionless face brightened.
She had a face like an insurance salesman who succeeded in selling.
‘It seems like this is definitely going to work.’
I showed my approval a little. I couldn’t help but feel like the demon had means up her sleeves to make me tempted.
Since I had expectations, I couldn’t help but feel happy once I confirmed that.
-Is that true?
“Yes. As we’re not going along the same path, it may be difficult for a direct contract, but we can proceed as far as necessary if it is a temporary contract. I had my doubts, but seeing how you liked it like this, I’m more grateful. Haha. You must be able to make contracts with other humans as much as you want…”
-I’m telling you that you seem to know how our side works, but simply signing a contract doesn’t mean that your performance will increase significantly. Who you sign the contract with, what the contract is, and how much performance you make with the contract is also an important factor. You can tell it seeing that Belial’s ranking has risen by 41 places due to the last contract.
“What?”
-Originally, Belial was ranked 68th among the 72 Demon Lords. He was in a relatively low rank. It’s unusual that he suddenly rose 41 places, even more so when you think that it wasn’t through a direct contract but a temporary contract. It must have been the right choice to instill your rotten soul and the dignity of Belial throughout the continent. Many reviews stated it was weird for us to proceed with the contract at this scale.
“Ah…”
-Think about it. I signed a contract with you, who is called Benignore’s Second Coming. How could I not accumulate results?
‘She’s right.’
-If we really assume that Lee Kiyoung made a temporary contract with me, it will likely open up the possibility of swiftly entering the top 1,000. Rising over 600 places…
‘That’s awesome.’
Honestly, I had expected that to some extent. I knew that Belial was overly friendly and that his own strength had grown greatly.
It was more than I imagined. Due to the last Laios incident, he had risen 41 places in a single contract. Even the tentacle woman, Limur, had dreamed of going up 600 ranks through one temporary contract…
If I made a simple temporary contract with the demons under Belial’s command, the game of power in hell could change.
Of course, that was when it would be possible.
-A-are you really doing it?
‘I guess I shouldn’t have said I would.’
“Yes, of course. I’ve had enough help before. I think it would be better to tell you the details of the contract later. You probably have a lot of things to do.”
-Yes. I roughly know what you’re thinking of. Again, he said that you’d deceive all humans on the continent…
“I’m not sure, but that’s what we’ve roughly been planning.”
-Um, Lee Kiyoung.
“Yes?”
-I’m very sorry to say this directly, but…
“Yes?”
-If we make a temporary contract in the future…
“Yes?”
-If you can assign me to a role with a little weight… I would be very grateful. I will definitely pay you back.
‘What the… when did this rumor spread like this?’
Seeing how big her expectations were, she was definitely an apostle of Belial. At that moment, I realized just where I was.
To put it into perspective, they were the actors that wanted a role.
I was the general manager in charge of the stage. The casting director, if you will.
I smiled, feeling proud.
‘Your life just turned around due to this, Kiyoung. Let’s just walk the path of light!’
