Ex Rank Supporting Role’s Replay in a Prestigious School

Due to yesterday’s incident, the traitor became the hero and the star, but life still goes on.

The staff were going back to work, and the students returned to school.

‘Right now, I’m a middle school student. Do I need to attend school?’

Special high school entrance exam including Eungwang Player Master High school begins either in November and ends in December, or starts in December and ends in February.

Final exam for the 2nd semester in middle school is by the end of December, so the score considered for the entrance exam is until 1st semester of 8th grade.

‘I don’t need to go to school.’

In my case, my written documents were already submitted and screened before I was teleported to this world.

According to Jegal, I was expected to pass the theoretical exam.

In other words, because it was certain that I’d pass, I’m a free soul and I don’t have to attend any classes.

‘In the past, I still attended school despite knowing that I’m accepted.’

If you were to stop attending class even if you’re sure to be admitted into high school, teachers could retaliate and give penalties such as giving you a zero for the performance evaluation due to your absence.

Still, it didn’t matter whether I attend school or not, as long as I take the final exam. 

If I fulfilled the minimum number of attendance, I normally wouldn’t get my acceptance canceled unless I get expelled.

When I applied for a job, there were almost no companies that looked at details of secondary education and even if they did, they only looked at the high school education so there was no disadvantage.

‘There are a lot of things to do but let’s just try and go for it.’

After contemplating, I decided to attend school to learn more about myself in this world.

Abandoning the small room, in this slum neighborhood, with only a single-sized electric mattress, I went to school.

‘My personal information seen on the menu is similar to my past.’

Recently lost parents and siblings.

Attending Jinsu middle school.

All were the same as my past.

‘However, this world is different from the Korea that I know.’

Eungwang High School and the collision with another world are stories inside the game, but they existed naturally in this world.

Korea’s history was a bit different.

The address where I live and middle school’s address was different than what I know.

‘It’s not only the address that is different.’

The Seoul here is different from the Seoul that I know.

Based on looking at Seoul’s map, the line that divides the district was somewhat different, and there were also unfamiliar names of places.

Initially, ‘Seoul, Eunpyeong district’ where Eungwang High School is located didn’t exist on the map of Seoul in the real world.

‘Still, the flow of history is similar to life in Korea.’

After seeing the last 100 years of history, most incidents were similar except for the event of collision with the unknown world.

Published artworks, movies, dramas, and songs were the same as well.

There was a subtle difference but it was very similar.

‘This world doesn’t have anyone who I used to know.’

There were no relatives, friends who existed in the real world living here.

In other words, this world was like a parallel universe that had extra events, like the collision with an unknown world, which almost changed the composition of ordinary people.

‘I don’t see the lowest point.’

As I was talking while thinking about things, I already arrived at the middle school which I’m attending.

In front of the school, numerous journalists gathered around like clouds.

The defeat notification on Player SAT-K had one syllable, ‘Jo,’ but it seems like my personal information is widely known among journalists.

Yesterday, if I didn’t send a message to Gyubin along with my bank account information to request them to hide my name, journalists might have explicitly put my name on the article.

‘Even in a world that collided with an unknown world, journalists are the same.’

Perhaps, in this world that collided with an unknown world, journalists are more excited and try to take things too far.

Journalists forcefully held students in uniform and carried out an interview.

They shove their microphone and camera at students who were walking while studying vocabulary.

‘It’s annoying to deal with them so I should run.’

I felt sorry for the students who were caught by journalists, but things would get worse if I appeared.

I was looking for a place to detour when I found a small hole.

I was hesitant after looking at the hole, but right now I’m still a middle school student.

I was barely able to manage to pass through a small gap that would’ve been too small for adults who have big waists. 

***

In front of the 8th-grade 8th classroom of Jinsu Middle School.

While approaching the classroom, I looked around the school and it was different from what I remember.

The building design and interior did not match my memory.

I also looked at the staff room and I didn’t recognize anybody.

‘Only the school uniform is the same.’

I tried to choose a random person from the hallway to check their information.

<This character is not registered on the database. Cannot view character information.>

Character information wasn’t available.

Maybe because this middle school doesn’t appear in the game?

I tested it further by choosing other people, but it was the same.

There was no information obtainable with the menu.

I had to check it out by myself.

*Creaak*.

I opened the sliding door of the old-fashioned classroom and entered.

Students wearing old-fashioned uniforms were chatting everywhere.

The hot issue was the monster raiding Eungwang High School yesterday.

“Did you see the news? It’s awesome.”

“There was an interview and it was amazing. By the way, is it true that the biggest contributor is from our school?”

He is from our school. It’s me.

“Is there anyone from our school who has a score high enough to attend Eungwang High School?”

“The best student hid his power.”

“Meh, maybe the best student didn’t have skills.”

There was nobody here who knew me.

There were no alumni I knew from middle school.

While I was listening to the conversation near the door, I talked to a student who was closest to me.

“Hey.”

“…..Huh? Students from other classes can’t come in. If you are looking for someone, I can call them.”

“I’m from 8th class though.”

I showed my student id.

[Jinsoo Middle School 8th grader 8th class, Jo Euishin]

The student who saw the id was surprised and nodded his head.

“What? Oh….. I see. I’m sorry, maybe you are in our class.”

He had dull eyes that seemed like he was in hypnosis.

“Nevermind. There is something I want to ask.”

“What?”

“Was our school uniform originally this old-fashioned?”

“No, it changed from our class. Seniors wore good-looking uniforms.”

I kind of understood what’s happening to me right now.

Afterward, I roamed around the staff room and asked around.

All the staff looked confused.

They gave a reaction which said ‘Do we have any student who is good enough to attend Eungwang high school?’

‘I don’t know who the homeroom teacher is.’

My homeroom teacher who came back from a business trip was someone I didn’t know, and the homeroom teacher didn’t seem to know me.

The homeroom teacher pretended to know who I was and tried to be friendly, but it was very awkward.

After looking around the teachers and staff room, I found my middle school records perfectly stored.

However, everyone reacted like ‘by the way, was he just here?’

I checked everything that I wanted to check.

“I don’t feel so good and I need to rest at home. Can I call it a day?”

The homeroom teacher generously allowed me to do so while telling me that if I need help, I can ask for it anytime.

As I was leaving the staff room, the teachers gave me compliments and greetings.

Still, they were confused by who I was as they didn't remember.

My assumptions became certain.

* **

I left the school and went back to my small room.

Am I really inside the game?

If not…..

I know who has the answer to this question.

<Viewing ‘Jo Euishin’s character information.>

[Name] Jo Euishin

[Title] Appropriate for two-dimensional future transform. One of the small heroes.

[Order] (Failed to load)

[Special skill] (locked)

[Status] Normal

[Overall ability] Lv. 10

[Skill]

Use objects Lv. 1

Exclusive menu for two-dimensional future transform object Lv. 1

Communication with transcendental universe Lv. 1

Destiny Lv. 3

(Failed to load)

The [Title] section almost made me curse.

Yesterday, Minki who gave a quick interview was portrayed as a ‘small hero’, while the biggest contributor, which is myself, was becoming a mere supporting role.

‘For now, I should endure and be patient.’

It would be difficult for me if I get attention now anyway so it may be better this way.

I chose ‘Communicate with the transcendental universe’ from the menu.

<Viewing skill explanation.>

[Skill name] Communicate with transcendental universe 

[Rareness] UR

[Skill level] 1

[Effect] Will communicate with transcendental universe

[Explanation] 

Communicate with the transcendental universe, beyond dimension.

Level gives a huge burden on skill users.

If the communication result exceeds the skill user’s information capacity, the skill is automatically terminated.

Communication that surpasses dimension, time, space, and universe.

If I talk to someone who brought me to this world, there will be an answer.

I was worried about the phrase ‘excessive burden,’ but I wanted to find answers before I attended Eungwang high school.

<Using skill ‘communicating with transcendental universe’.>

Boom.

It felt like my brain was floating in the air.

The brain that divorced from the senses was scattered into fragments, different dimensions, times, and space.

Just like the brain, I myself slowly turned into dust.

I slapped myself as hard as I could.

Slap!

My palm and the cheek were hurting.

Thankfully, I’m back to normal.

“I’m not inside the game.”[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

Bam!

There was no change.

However, it turned blue inside my head and suddenly it was easier to breathe.

The answer is positive.

“That failed game was a process to bring people here.”

Advertisements that had very little investment.

The game operated for 10 years despite having revenue close to 0.

Games that do not reflect the user's opinion.

Looking back now, it was very weird.

‘If the transcendental universe is omnipotent, there’s no reason for it to reach out to me.’

The world can edit the future of this world.

Also, other than viewing my character information, using the menu didn’t allow me to view normal people’s information except for the main characters from the game.

It was certain that the transcendental world isn’t omnipotent.

‘I see why I was called to ‘two-dimensional future transform subject’.’

<Warning, excessive communication with transcendental world and two-dimensional future transform subject can cause excessive burden to the body.>

There was a smell of steel coming from my throat.

“You called me from a different dimension as you can give limited interference. You emptied a ‘supporting role’ in this world, changed my past by transforming information, and gave power the same as in the game for me to change the future.”

I couldn’t continue to speak so it was hard to make a complete sentence.

My vision turned blue.

My whole body that was going through the sky and floating on the universe suddenly felt like I was sinking again.

There were no words uttered, but I was certain that the other person affirmed what I said.

It felt like my mental and physical capacity was close to the limit as there was blood coming out of my mouth.

<Warning, two-dimensional future transform subject’s body is close to the limit.>

<Restricting access to two-dimensional future transform subject.>

I heard a system sound and the unknown senses that dominated me disappeared.

<Dimensional understanding for two-dimensional future transform subject has increased. Skill ‘two-dimension future transform subject exclusive menu’ level increased from 1 to 2.>

My assumption seemed all correct.

I understand why I came to this world.

Because I know this game well.

I cleared the final stage.

‘They are right as well….’

The reason why I’m here.

That’s because I sincerely wanted a happy ending to this game.

In order to achieve a happy ending, I would replay this game and this world.

‘…..ah, my skill level went up so I should see the changes.’

However, after such a thought my vision became black.

Before I checked the menu, I passed out.

* **

I woke up 3 days later.

My lips were very dry as I wasn’t able to drink any water, while my body and my head felt heavy.

It seems like I’m dehydrated and the world looks black and white.

I barely managed to go to the kitchen, and I felt better after drinking water with sugar and salt.

‘I didn’t expect to pass out for 3 days just by having a conversation for a few seconds.’

If I knew such a thing would happen, I should use the skill while covered in a blanket.

I removed the school uniform that I was still wearing.

It took a while to take off as my body was very sore.

When I switched to comfortable clothes, I saw my smartphone with a dead battery.

As I charged and turned it out, it was full of missed calls and unchecked messages.

Gyubin, Namwook.

Those two were bombarding me with messages.

Gyubin said to check the bank account as he transferred the money and he wanted to see me at the Player’s Association with a meal or if I needed something which was a hassle.

Namwook said you are not answering calls, are you eating well?

I didn’t have much to say so I decided to postpone the response.

While I was looking in the drawer to search for ramen, I received a call.

The name that appeared on the phone was Sanghoon, who didn’t say anything after leaving the hospital.

….. I can assume why he called.

Should I pick Sanghoon’s call?

“Hello?”

[It’s me. Namwook said he can’t get a hold of you.]

“I was a bit busy. Why did you call?”

[Ah…..well]

Sanghoon faded his words.

“Is it because of Minki?”

Sanghoon didn’t deny it.

Minki was worse than I thought.

What Minki has done to Sanghoon is attempted murder.

It’s a bit complicated whether we can consider myself and Namwook as victims, but Sanghoon surely was one.

‘At least I thought Minki would pretend to apologize to Sanghoon.’

I never expected Minki would say ‘If you let me go, I would give you money’ without an apology.

Sanghoon’s family was extremely furious, but they weren’t in a good situation as Minki released a statement interview first.

“So Euishin and I need to give a testimony?”

Namwook said furiously without hiding his anger.

We were inside a room of a Korean restaurant which Sanghoon invited us to.

Sanghoon didn’t say a word other than the greeting.

Sanghoon’s parents were very serious.

The person who led the conversation was Sanghee, who is Sanghoon’s sister.

“Yes. I will compensate you as much as you want. The skill I have is rare so if you become a professional player, you will earn quite a lot. Of course, as a senior of Eungwang high school, I can help you in many ways.”

Seeing the image of her laughing while moving her hair was incomparable to when she was crying at the hospital.

I know another thing about Sanghee.

<Viewing ‘Sanghee’s personal information.>

[Name] Yoo Sanghee

[Title] Eungwang high school 10th grader, Student council secretary, Trainee for AKEA, Cure

[Order] Akea’s theme ‘let me help you.’

[Special skill] (Deactivated)

[Status] Normal

[Overall capability] Lv. 34

[Skill]

Cure magic Lv. 5

Defense wall Lv. 3

Hand blade Lv. 3

[Explanation]

Owns extremely rare cure skill.

With Cure Goddess Akea’s name, can use Akea’s all might with her skill.

Outstanding student who was never below 10th rank for academics in Eungwang high school.

Values family.

“It’s completely different from the Sanghee I know in the game.”

In this world, there is a ‘superior existence’ beyond the enemies and the real tribe.

To say it simply, it’s ‘God.’

Superior existence didn’t stay all the time like an enemy but it interfered with this world by order, miracle, imitation, reign, and revelation.

Sanghee is getting order and protection from Akea who is the God of Healing.

‘I remember Sanghee’s title was ‘Contractor for Nemesis’’

Sanghee’s order was to have a contract with multiple Gods for her life and increase the enemy's attack by 3 fold.

That’s why Sanghee was a final boss inside the game and she was a recommended character for the quest where the monster appears.

‘Well…. Speaking of which there is a setting which is written on the guidebook explaining before she became a revenge seeker. What is needed for the game is right after that section so I just read it briefly.’

Sanghee got rid of Akea's title and made contact with the revenge Goddess Nemesis in order to kill the monster who killed her brother.

‘That brother is Sanghoon.’

She hunted it and was killed by the monster before she graduated.

“There’s no need for compensation. Even if the litigation is long, I will testify until the end.”

Namwook spoke confidently.

Also, he looked at me expecting me to ‘ join as well.’

I contemplated after turning off Sanghee’s status window.

Minki.

Media.

Mass.

Authority.

I organized my thoughts one by one.

The answer is already there.

“I won’t.”

Namwook made an explicit disappointed face but Sanghee replied in a soft voice.

“Okay…. Thank you for saving this moron. If you weren’t there, he would’ve been dead.”

“Whatever. Euishin. Let’s eat.”

Sanghoon opened his mouth for the first time while paying no mind about my rejection.

Sanghoon’s parents thanked me many times at the hospital and thanked me again with a warm smile.

However, I wasn’t done.

“Please agree to a settlement as fast as possible. It would be best if it’s done today or tomorrow.”

“….Huh?”

The atmosphere became quiet.

“Also, let’s agree to a condition in the agreement that we won’t leak the information that we know.”

I added sipping my plum tea.

“In order to make Namwook and I to keep quiet, it’s better to raise the compensation.”

“What! No, I will testify!”

Namwook shouted intensely.

“It’s better to put a penalty for non-disclosure as twice or triple the agreed amount.”

If Sanghee could kill with her eyes, I would be dead three times already.

Sanghee’s eyes had a murderous spirit.

“Are you telling me to take money and shut up?”

“Yes.”

Sanghee’s warm traits evaporated and wild words started coming out of her mouth.

I overcame the White Tiger’s attention.

I communicated with the transcendental universe.

I won’t be upset by such a murderous spirit.

“Since we want to take revenge, let’s do so while making money in the process.”

Taking money from Minki can cause his complete downfall.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
