Grave Keeper of the Fallen Kingdom

chapter 2



“Um… … .”

The familiar ceiling and walls come into view.

The savory smell of soup stings your nostrils.

“What, why am I at my house… … .”

“Are you awake?”

When I get up and turn my head, Jennon, who has swept her blonde hair back, is leaning against the wall and looking at me.

He is my only friend, and is currently a semi-knight of the Brilliant Kingdom.

“What and how hard did you work, so that you fell asleep like you passed out on the decane?”

“Did you bring me?”

“okay! No matter how much I woke you up, you didn’t wake up, so I thought you would die when I carried you.”

At those words, I thought back to last night and was lost in thought.

I have regressed

Strange phrases appeared in the air, and I gained abilities I had never seen before.

He became a gravekeeper and a hero of posterity.

‘If anyone hears it, they’ll think I’m crazy.’

When I used what was called a strong command, my body moved freely and I defeated the grave robber who emitted energy.

‘program… … .’

[Description]

# The specter dwells in the body.

Information about the Code floats in the air.

Also, it wasn’t a dream.

“Is there anyone else there but me?”

“Others? Wasn’t there anyone?”

It was clearly said that Havenberg Argen was dictating it.

His grave existed there, and I heard someone’s voice.

He definitely told me he was a descendant.

‘really… … , Havenberg Arsen?’

My ancestor, the strongest swordsman who dominated the entire continent in the past.

That was the Havenberg Argen.

It was unstable, but he subdued the grave robber who let out his spirit through his sword with only a bare shovel.

If it was what my ancestors commanded me to do, I could understand that nonsense.

The fact that my ancestors really came into my body… … .

“… … Ugh!”

“are you okay?”

“uh… … , are you okay.”

My head hurts as if it would break.

Why the hell are you doing this… … .

[A soul with too much power has entered the body in a state without spiritual power.]

[The body recoils.]

“Keugh!”

“wren!”

“divination… are you okay.”

I tried to suppress the pain and pretended to be calm.

Jennon is looking at me with a suspicious face, but since I’m insisting that I’m fine, he nods helplessly.

“Anyway… … . My mother prepared rice. wake up soon.”

“What is it that my mother has prepared?” … .”

The words came out reflexively.

As soon as I realized that I had regressed, my heart started beating.

‘mother… … , are you alive?’

Me, my mother, and my younger sister ran away as if we were being kicked out of the family, and after that, I lost my mother in vain.

I bitterly regretted that day that I hadn’t been able to hold on in my family and that I hadn’t properly mastered swordsmanship.

‘That’s right, I’m returning… … .’

My wide open eyes began to bleed red. Feeling that the tears were starting to well up, I hurriedly lowered my head.

“You go first. I’ll be leaving right away.”

“okay. Come out quickly.”

Jennon left the room.

I sat down on the bed and took a deep breath, then stood up with my heart calming.

It was obvious that my mother and my sister would feel strange if I expressed these turbulent emotions as they were.

And then you will worry about me again.

“Whoa… … .”

After waiting for the recoil to subside.

I pretended to be as calm as possible and left the room.

“Are you awake?”

As I looked at my mother’s face and heard her voice, my heart, which had calmed down, started beating like crazy again.

Still, it was better than before.

The unfortunate incident of shedding tears, swept away by the rising emotions, did not happen.

“yes. mother.”

“Brother, is the atmosphere strange today?”

Lesia, my younger sister, tilts her head at me.

My mother also stared at me, probably thinking that something was strange.

I sighed and sat down.

“What is strange?”

“No, it was just something strange. It may not seem like it. isn’t it?”

Lecia asks Jennon, but he just munches on rice as if he doesn’t care about me.

‘Yes, that’s better.’

I also took a spoonful and took a bite of the soup.

How long does it take to eat mother’s soup?

At the moment, I almost let out an exclamation, but after holding it in with superhuman patience, I moved the spoon again.

“Ren, how about taking a break today? You look so tired.”

Mother says with a worried look.

If it was me in the past, I would have followed her words, but I couldn’t do that now.

“No, I’m fine. It rained yesterday, so we have to look at the grave again.”

“Jennon oppa help me.”

“uh? I?”

He rolled his eyes in bewilderment and looked at me.

This guy doesn’t do that to other people, but he couldn’t refuse Lesia and her mother’s request.

Seeing the obvious help, I smiled and said,

“I have to do it. Jennon doesn’t know much about graves, and he doesn’t have much to do today.”

“Are you really going to be okay?”

“yes I’m okay. Do not worry.”

I barely calmed their worries and left the house.

The white sunlight was beating down everywhere.

Looking around, a familiar city scene caught my eye.

“Whoa!”

Taking a deep breath, I headed straight for Decane.

Decaine is located on a huge mountain outside the city. It is a mountain called ‘Kinish Bluff’, and it was named because the mountain is very steep and difficult for people to go.

At the entrance to Kinish Bluff, soldiers were guarding their seats.

“Eh… … .”

A sigh comes out.

No one knows the importance of Decaine.

‘It’s because of them that the current continent exists.’

Decane.

It is the name of the graveyard where the 17 heroes who saved the continent in the past are asleep.

The heroes sleeping there saved the continent by defeating the demons that invaded the continent in the past.

While it’s not enough to express gratitude for their sacrifice, the continental people of today even deny their achievements.

The glorification, exaggeration, and lies of the past… … .

‘A country that forgets its past has no future.’

So, the continent was invaded by demons again and the Brilliant Kingdom was destroyed.

‘Heroes of posterity… … .’

[You are a “hero of future generations”. Stop the invasion of demons and prevent the destruction of the kingdom.]

Since he was chosen as a hero for future generations, does that mean that he should stop the demons and protect the kingdom like the heroes of the past? … .

So, who the hell sent this message? how? why me?

I had a lot of questions, but I couldn’t figure out anything.

“Tsk… … .”

But even if I hadn’t become a hero for posterity, I would have tried to prevent the kingdom’s destruction.

I know the future, but I can’t stay still.

Moreover, the devil who killed me.

I still can’t forget that look of ridicule and ridicule until the end.

If I meet him again, it will be different.

Next time I’ll pierce his stomach.

“ha… … .”

He drew in a rough breath.

Climbing the mountain soaked in contemplation, we arrived at Decane before we knew it.

17 tombs come into view.

Nothing has changed since last night. It seems that the grave robber hasn’t returned since I passed out.

‘Why the hell are you trying to rob this useless place?’

Numerous countries have already verified the effectiveness of these remains.

The conclusion was that it was of no help.

Even if he was a hero, it turned out that he was no different from any other corpse.

Their legacy has already been taken over by other countries.

Isn’t that why it was neglected like this?

The soldiers who had been deployed as a courtesy to them gradually decreased, and now there were only a few gatekeeper soldiers at the entrance of Kinish Bluff.

“Tsk.”

I passed the tombstones and went to the front of the innermost, middle tomb.

“Are you an ancestor? The person who spoke to me yesterday.”

Then he said into the air.

“Please answer me. Just like you did to me yesterday!”

– I can’t sleep because it’s noisy.

A rough voice came from within the tomb.

I expected that there would be some reaction, but it felt strange to actually hear the answer from the grave.

“uh… … ?”

Something translucent floated inside the tomb.

The gray wrinkles on his fairly tall face showed the years gone by.

It’s because of things like the atmosphere and facial expressions you can feel, if you just look at it, you could believe it even if it’s a little more than me.

“… … Havenberg Arsen?”

– Cheeky bastard. Do you carelessly call your ancestors’ names?

He said with a displeased face.

I really felt that he was my ancestor, and immediately fell to my knees and hit the ground.

“Meet my ancestors! I am from the Argen family-.”

– done. Wake up, why are you making a loud introduction while bowing?

“but… … .”

– Say your name.

“This is Len Argen.”

A conversation with the legendary person named Havenberg Argen.

It was so amazing.

What should I ask… … .

I had a lot of thoughts when I came here.

To save the kingdom from destruction by defeating the future heroes, the lineage of Argen, and the demons… … .

There was a mountain of questions to ask.

I decided to tell him everything.

“Ancestors, I am a regressor.”

– Regression? Are you saying that you have returned to the past from the future?

“yes.”

– hmm… … . Right.

His reaction was strange.

“Is that so? Are you okay?”

– In the era I lived in, there were all sorts of guys. What comes from the future to the past… … , can be

I felt my brain go round at that absurd answer.

“Was that common in the past?”

– I’ve never seen it. But I do think there could be someone like that. Could have been among the guys I killed.

What kind of era was that era, so you say that this can be like that?

“I see strange writings in front of my eyes. Just in the void… … .”

I explained to him about the anomaly that was happening to me.

Wouldn’t your ancestors know something?

– hmm… … .

His expression is different from before.

Is this a more novel phenomenon than regression?

– I can’t remember.

“yes?”

– It feels like there are holes in my memory here and there. But I’ve heard from colleagues about such a phenomenon.

“Tell me!”

– what… … , I think I researched something like that… … , I said ‘system’ or something.

“system?”

– Yes, that’s what he said.

“A little more… … .”

– Don’t be bothered. Didn’t you say you couldn’t remember?

His face is full of annoyance and annoyance.

I didn’t ask any more because I’d be really angry if I asked more.

‘A strange idea.’

[Cat’s Eye]

It is the eye that the Gravekeeper has.

# You can see the ghost dwelling in the tomb.

# You cannot see the sleeping ghost.

‘I wonder… … , You mean you can see your ancestors thanks to this?’

What the hell is this ability? How did he give me these special powers?

Exactly what state am I in right now… … .

[Len Argen]

– Trait: Cat Eye

– Skill: Necromancer (降靈)

– Strength: 7.1

– Agility: 6.8

– Stamina: 7.5

– Sensation: 6.6

– Energy: 0.3

– Spiritual Power: 1.0

Thinking about my condition, a new system suddenly came to my mind.

“What, what?”

– Why?

“Suddenly in the air… … .”

I told my ancestors about this phenomenon that has now appeared to me.

– That’s the status window.

“What is it?”

– It is literally the ability to express the state in the form of a window. It was a special ability that very few people had in the past.

What kind of world was the continent in the past?

– If you have that ability, you can see yourself objectively. The same goes for other people.

“yes? You mean you can also see other people’s status windows?”

– Yeah, I don’t know if you can either.

I gaped.

It means that if you can see not only your own abilities but also other people’s abilities, you can see through the other person’s abilities at once without having to confront them.

‘no way… … ?’

I tried to open the status window of my ancestors just in case, but it did not appear.

‘Isn’t the soul bad?’

I was most curious about what the status window of my ancestors would look like, but it turned out to be a pity.

“But why does it appear to me?”

– Do you know if you ask me?

“… … That too.”

– Anyway, I see you’re no ordinary guy.

I nodded my head in agreement with his words.

system and status window.

The more you think about it, the more you laugh out loud.

Even if you ask your ancestors, it’s just ‘it was like that in the past’… … .

“Grandfather.”

– what?

“The swordsmanship that came into my body yesterday and showed me. That’s the Havenberg swordsmanship… is it?”

– … … You, my descendant, don’t even know the family’s swordsmanship?

“That is not family swordsmanship.”

– What nonsense are you talking about?

My ancestor’s face crumpled.

It was only natural that he was denying that his swordsmanship was not his family’s.

“My ancestor’s swordsmanship… … , did not carry over to posterity.”

– what?

“It means that Havenberg swordsmanship has disappeared from the continent.”
