……

If Elen's life were a diary, it must be full of death.

Perhaps every vulgar script has a cliché beginning, and the protagonist always has to go through hardships before he awakens his own power, and he awakens the time ability after his first death.

He couldn't remember how many times he had died, just as he couldn't remember how many loaves of bread he had eaten.

Lying in bed and looking out the window, the morning is approaching.

His perception of time was a little vague, but he vaguely remembered that his life was not like that not so long ago......

At that time, he still lived in the castle, enjoyed the services of the maid, had an afternoon tea every day, would attend a nobleman's banquet every once in a while, and usually held a book to learn all kinds of knowledge of the mage, as the son of the Earl of Campbell in the north of the Ion Empire, he lived a low-key and luxurious life.

He can watch the master use fireball magic to set off fireworks, he can enjoy the sea monster meat stored in the freezing technique, and only drink elven fruit wine, not overly strong dwarven ale.

Rest at 11 p.m. on time, replace sleep with meditation, sleep until dawn, never leave fatigue and stress until the next day, and whoever sees him says he is normal.

But in fact, he still has a secret, that is, he is a time-traveler.

However, in the past seventeen years before this, his memory was incomplete, and his memory gradually recovered as he grew older, so in this life, he did not have a too mature mind at the beginning, and he completely recognized the world as a newborn. He didn't have any rejection of Okmos's identity.

And as the third son of the earl, he was not born as an illegitimate child and a commoner, which is really a kind of luck in this world.

There are gods, demons, and transcendents in this world, and transcendents are divided into many professions, but they basically use magic.

And the magic of this world is very much like a kind of radiation, if you want to absorb it into the body, you must train and take a lot of potions to make the body adapt to the magic power, otherwise there will be all kinds of magic diseases.

Seventeen-year-old Iren has completed these trainings, and his mental power and physical power are not rejecting magic power, although he has not yet condensed the source of magic power, but he can already control it by some means, and he can be regarded as a transcendent person, and the memory of his previous life has basically recovered.

But because of this, according to the laws of the empire, he was to join a department of the empire.

The successive emperors of the Ion Empire, where Iren belongs, have great power, and the transcendent are also within their control.

After enrolling in the Empire's largest transcendent academy, the Heyas Academy.

During the holidays, he received an arrangement for him.

On the day he received the paperwork to become the Night Watchman, Eren was in a hangover and took up his post in a daze, starting his first mission as a Night Watchman.

[We are the eyes of the emperor, patrolling all undercurrents, just to maintain the rule of the empire]

The round silver emblem distributed by the night watchman is inscribed with this passage.

"It's a bit like a dog tag, with the flag of dealing with abnormal events in the empire on the surface, but in fact, it can be justified in various territories and cities, and the eyeliner and power ......"

"Tsk, I should just go through the motions after joining, right? I can't do it, I can only find my ice-faced daddy......"

At that time, Iren stroked the round silver emblem and walked into the town of De'n, near the city of Papelo in the province of Caligard, intending to investigate whether the eleven townspeople in this village committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river according to the mission given by the Nightwatchman Branch, whether it was related to supernatural power.

He was going to do a brief investigation, write a report, and go home.

But this is the beginning of this endless cycle......

This is a town where there is a demon-summoning ritual that has been quietly going on for more than a hundred years.

The level of crisis of a simple task, from a small milk cat to a saber-toothed tiger.

The demon was already on the verge of being summoned, and had infiltrated the power to take control of the town, into it, like a bug falling into a spider's web.

First, the townsfolk who secretly believed in demons assassinated Iren, causing the mage Kelsen, who had been under his father's orders to secretly protect him, to appear.

But the ending did not change, although the assassination was unsuccessful, an invisible barrier enveloped the entire town, and no one could get out.

There is no sudden explosion, and there is no macho man from the sky.

Compared to the other townsfolk who looked like dry snacks, Iren, who was mentally strong and like a piece of cream cake, died like this.

But death is not the end for him.

For he was resurrected, and returned to 72 hours before his death.

But this is also the end of this prologue to endless reincarnation.

His numb heart gradually began to ripple, and the memories of the previous week flooded into his mind.

A shrill howl echoed in the black-red sky, and the pure silver moon, which symbolized the silver-haired lady of the gods, turned into a twisted ball of flesh in his eyes, and a large number of fleshy tentacles writhed and writhed towards the sky, a scene that was enough to collapse mortals' faith in the gods.

And all around him, along with the flames, billowing black smoke rose, people's eyes were scarlet, and little demons stood on the roofs and corners, letting out mocking laughter.

Blood splattered, flesh and bones chirped, converging into a song of killing and madness.

As he walked down the long street, mad people pounced on him, but he just waved the long sword in his hand numbly, and paved a long path behind him with his corpse.

He headed west, and after turning an alley, he came to the town's water intake place, where an ancient well, said to have existed for hundreds of years, sat a tall humanoid with long white hair and horns on his forehead, like a skinless tall humanoid, devouring a head.

The surface of the scarlet flesh continued to ooze bright red blood droplets, and then flowed down, converging into streams.

"Kelsen ......"

He looked at the head and muttered.

And after that......

And after that......

Oh, remembering, he rushed up and he died.

Also, this time he planned to rely on the sacred scriptures of the gods to prevent the arrival of demons, but the mage Kelsen, who carried a large number of sacred scriptures written on the Lord of the Righteous God's protection, died faster than any time before.

Yes, more than ever.

……

The time ability is undoubtedly a very powerful ability, but it also has limitations, and Eren is complaining.

This does not prevent him from following the philosophy of the great philosopher Comrade Jing Ze every time he is resurrected, after all, the law of true incense is a law that no one can escape.

But he seems to have corresponded to a formula.

In the novel, it is always said that space is respected and time is king, so he is a king.

And it seems to be to verify another famous sentence that "the blood of every king will end with the sword".

So, although Iren didn't feel like he was getting stronger, he still deserved to die.

That is, he can only be resurrected within 72 hours of his last death, and he can only break the cycle unless he lives past the point in time of his last death.

So Ellen wanted to kill himself, and his plan to die all the way back to Dern Town was aborted.

But fortunately, his ability does not stop there, and in the process of time backtracking, he has mastered his own ability more.

At present, a total of three abilities have been developed, which are death regression, time travel, and time capture.

Death regression will only be mentally weak, but time travel not only requires a special medium, but also consumes the power of time.

As for the power of time used for travel, the power of time can only be drawn from the lives killed by Eren himself, and the more years of existence of the seized, the more time power can be drawn.

The power of time will appear in the form of a gray mist that can only be seen by Eron.

"My future is not sure to be an old man's terminator, the object of fear of the undead......"

At that time, Iren, who discovered this ability for the first time, was so emotional.

And the time ability he saw in the online article in the past, the stop time, speed up time, he can't do any of it, but the ultimate move of traveling through the past and the future can be used.

I don't know if it's because his ability is more peculiar, and he is not satisfied with that kind of meticulous operation at present, or if he can't do it in essence.

But that didn't change his fate

So, after that, his experience was one of constant death, stuck in a time loop again and again.

"I wish I could be a human being......"

Eren sighed lightly, if he could suddenly become a human being, after the demon came, he could instantly turn into a dragon, then he could chew the damn demon and taste what it tasted like.

Although fate gave him a beating, it was not without hope to hide.

{Traveling through time} - Going back to the past requires special antiquities as a medium, and traveling through the future requires things from the future, and theories that can be realized in the future can be used as a medium.

Hey!

If this can return to Earth, what are the eight major problems of mathematics, how many years will nuclear fusion be realized, and when will human beings be able to go to the interstellar ...... No, Iren can indifferently promise his hometown compatriots that as long as there will be results in the future, he can tell you the answer now!

The only artifact in Deen Town is the ancient well where the demon ritual is housed, and then I use time to travel back to the time when this well was just dug in the past, and figure out that someone maliciously cast a spell on this well.

Attempts were made to target this in various ways, but unfortunately, to no avail.

The last time he failed, it was his last attempt at it.

It can't be said that he hasn't changed at all, at least the demon didn't cast crazy spells at first...... Well, a bad change, but also a change?

Therefore, he intends to pin his hopes on the future of travel.

This time it might work.

A famous quote always motivates him.

"Refusing to die is a luxury, and in that sense I am undoubtedly rich. But there are always some rebels who want to stop me from cashing in, but I won't give up. ”

- Future Celebrity, Elen. Okmos

After experiencing death over and over again, he still considered it a blessing to be resurrected.

Iren got up from the bed and glanced over the room that he had looked at many times.

It was a fairly large bedroom, in the style of the Middle Ages, but on the left side of the wall against the bed lay a curved iron pipe, one end sunk into the floor, and the other end was connected to a half-embedded mechanism in the wall with a dial, on which a kettle was placed, and it was still gurgling hot.

There was also an oval brass clock with a flat bottom hanging on the wall, and the time had reached 4:56.

He put on his shoes and walked to the closet, stopping at the mirror by the closet.
