Chapter 1 – 1. The aftermath begins
Rattling rattling.
Rattling rattling.
In the carriage returning to my hometown.
As I take in the insignificant scenery passing by, I look back on my strange, if strange, life.
His current name is Deius Verdi. The second son of the earl family that rules North Weden in the north.
But if you ask me to say my original name.
Kim Shin-woo.
A 25-year-old young man living in Korea. He graduated from college, was discharged from the military, went to work for a company, and was able to see ghosts.
A young man who looked ordinary, but was actually anything but ordinary.
My maternal grandmother was a shaman.
A shaman who is also very majestic and possesses magical powers. Her grandmother looked at me and she said that’s what she said.
– The spirit is so strong. Tsk, if you don’t walk the path of a shaman, the child will be ruined.
Of course my mother, who was always harassed by my maternal grandmother, didn’t believe it, but that was a mistake.
Could a boy who had seen dead people his entire life be able to have proper emotions?
Can I be sane when my best friend, who died in an accident yesterday, comes to school again and strangles me, asking me why I’m ignoring him?
How could it not be traumatizing to see a person who died after falling from an apartment climb up the window of my room every night, saying he wanted to live?
Thanks to this, my emotions felt worn out.
It wasn’t like this in life.
It was like this in order to survive.
Why did I become Deius Verdi, whose name only appears in the game ‘Retry’?
I don’t know either.
As usual, I thought it was a ghost’s prank, but after living here for about half a year, it didn’t seem like that.
A lot has happened in half a year. He learned how to speak and manners befitting a nobleman, and an understanding of magic was also essential.
Everything that Deius Verdi had built did not disappear. It didn’t take long because I still had some understanding of his magic and how to apply it.
However, if you ask whether Deius is a genius, it is definitely not.
It’s not weird, but it’s not special either.
Deius Verdi was a genius befitting his humble position as the second son of a count.
A man who gossips a lot and has so-called bad behavior.
anyway.
I thought that since I became Deius, I too would become a little more ordinary.
I thought these damn eyes that see ghosts would disappear, but they didn’t.
Also, funny enough, the game was set in a medieval fantasy world made up of swords and magic.
I saw ghosts that were several times more numerous than in the Republic of Korea, which was a cease-fire country.
[Hehe, the scenery is nice, right?]
Look at it now.
I was the only one riding in the personal carriage sent by my family.
Before I knew it, the ghost of a noble lady sitting opposite me was smiling and talking to me.
“… … .”
[Oh my, can you at least give me an answer?]
There is no need to answer.
My grandmother has told me countless times that it is not a good idea for the living to talk to the dead.
In fact, it’s rare that I’ve ever had a good experience with them.
[You can see me.]
A ghost stands up and approaches me.
‘Damn it.’
I could only see her left side from my direction, but as I approached, the other side came into clear view.
The other side looked like it had been burned, as if it had been burned.
I almost closed my eyes for no reason, but I stayed calm.
It was an unsightly wound even among ghosts, but I was already used to it.
[Look at me.]
I slowly make eye contact with the ghost with its face sticking out. Then the guy’s mouth opens and he becomes happy.
Speak softly so the coachman can hear.
“Take a seat.”
[oh? You ignored me, but now you are being polite?]
“It’s not that I ignored it.”
[You’re not ignoring it?]
“It was considerate.”
[…] … Are you talking about consideration?]
The noble lady sitting opposite me tilted her head and asked. On her left was a middle-aged woman with a truly beautiful appearance, but on her other side, her eyes were distorted by burns and her skin was so scorched that ooze was still dripping.
“I thought you were hoping not to be seen.”
[…] … .]
“Because I also don’t want others to see my ugly side.”
[oh.]
“But you have beauty beyond that. Not being ashamed of your own weaknesses. “It is a beauty worth bragging about.”
[Are you a gentleman?]
“I was just saying what I felt.”
[…] … thank you.]

The blushing ghost just disappeared. It is not that I have attained Buddhahood.
Because attaining Buddhahood is not that easy.
I guess he left simply because he was satisfied with the conversation.
“after.”
And this is how I deal with ghosts. It’s not like we get hit here and there for no reason.
They tell you what they want.
It gives you the conversation you want and the comfort you want to hear.
“What a funny life.”
As I looked down blankly at the spot where the lady had disappeared, my tongue tingled as if I was chewing bitter herbs.
Because of them, I live with dulled emotions.
In fact, I embrace their empty hearts and wounds.
That was the life of Kim Shin-woo and Deius Verdi combined.

“Wow.”
Looking around his newly acquired lab, new professor Per couldn’t help but smile.
The spacious room was as clean as new, and the furniture was harmoniously arranged.
“Is it really okay for me to use this room?”
Professor Fehr, who found a job due to a sudden staff shortage, naturally thought he would receive a small amount of work.
Erica Bright, who was introducing the lab behind Per, smiled kindly and nodded.
“of course. “Professor Per is here, so I have to do at least this much.”
“Thank you for accepting me.”
In fact, Per was a professor at another academy. He is also quite capable, and when it comes to magic related to the human body, it is okay to call him an unrivaled genius in this era.
The reason she suddenly came to Lovern Academy was because of a factional fight at the academy she previously attended.
She had been focusing solely on research without any interest in professorial politics within the academy, but when she came to her senses, she found herself unemployed at the most important time when new students entered.
Erica Bright and Lovern Academy were the place that immediately took Per, who was frustrated because he had no place or support to continue his research, and turned to him.
“There may still be some things the professor used before.”
“Oh, I’ll take care of that! “I don’t like people messing with my lab.”
“Yes, if that’s the case, just fill out the syllabus and send it to me. “You will probably be pressed for time, so please refer to what we used at the previous academy.”
“yes! thank you!”
Erica smiles kindly and leaves. Fer exhaled her breath as she looked at the spot she had left.
“He’s a very pretty person.”
Beautiful, well-maintained blonde hair and a selfish body that looks like it could be a model.
Plus a smile like sunshine and restrained manners. Even a considerate personality.
Per, who thought he had the exact look he wanted to look like, looked at the full-length mirror in one corner of the lab.
Her dull, light pink hair is not maintained properly, so it sticks out here and there. Because they are confined to the laboratory, their skin is thin and their bodies are small.
Excessively voluptuous breasts distort the proportions of the body.
“This is the worst.”
Slash at yourself in the mirror, where you look like you just picked up a street tramp! Stick out your tongue.
Fer really hated himself for a long time. He had no intention of hiding anything.
[It’s the worst]
“hmm?”
Something was strange.
I feel like I can hear my own voice once more. Even in the mirror.
“This is the worst.”
I tried it again just in case. As expected, she couldn’t hear any sound, perhaps because she was mistaken.
“Is it because I didn’t sleep too much?”
Fer stretches as he sees his dark circles drooping. I guess I’ll just tidy up briefly today and go to sleep.
Syllabus?
You can just use what you prepared at the previous academy.
‘At best, all we have to do is move it according to this format.’
Thinking that he could finish it quickly, Per turned around and tried to pack up his luggage.
“Hmm?”
I quickly look back in the mirror.
“Did something strange just happen?”
Since I showed my back, my back should also be reflected in the mirror, but strangely, I felt like Per in the mirror was always looking this way.
Swish! Swish!
I move it around, but the mirror is still a mirror.
“Did your predecessor leave behind a spell?”
I heard he was a professor who was fired. If he was a professor who was about to be fired, he might have been so dirty that he would have played a prank like this.
Per secretly stretched out his hand to check.
“It’s not like that?”
There is no magic.
Rather, it is an ordinary mirror that does not even feel a little mana.
“Hmm.”
The moment Per crossed his arms because he thought it was strange.
[Where did you go?]
“Kyaaa!”
A little girl’s voice whispering in my ear.
I turned my head, but Per was still alone.
“W-what is it?”
But this time I heard it clearly.
That moment when I wondered what on earth was going on.
[Where did you go!]
This time, a thunderous male shout erupted.
“Aaaah!”
Per, who was startled, immediately sat down. He instinctively spread protective magic around himself.
[Where have you gone!][Where are you! Where is it?][Don’t throw it away! Don’t abandon us!][Come here!][Please come back!][I did it wrong! I did it wrong!][I’ll kill you!][Come, come to me!][Stop it now!][It’s our land! It’s my room!][Mom!][Go away! Go away!][You bitch with a female scent.][Do you want me to eat it?][You can’t replace me.][Go away!][Why did you come here? why? why? why? why?]
No matter what magic you use, the sound continues to ring.
Even though I covered my ears with both hands, the voice that resonated so clearly seemed to come from inside my own brain.
[Hey, sister.]
“Ahhh!”
Per, covered in tears, trembles at the voice calling him and very slowly raises his head.
A small girl with long black hair that covers the entire floor.
The girl’s hair gradually climbed up the walls, reached the ceiling, and began to cover the entire room.
[Where did he go?]
With those words, Per’s eyes rolled back and he fainted.
