âThe main character who deviated from the path, is it Lexion Sparrow?â
â That is right. Lexion Sparrow has strayed out of the path as the main character, thus, has been disqualified.
âSo, did Lexion return to the past like me?â
I asked the guide the questions I had this whole time.
I thought maybe he might have returned like me.
Because his behavior was so different from before.
I was somewhat certain now.
But the guide flatly denied it.
â Only âtravelersâ can enter the reset area. Lexion Sparrow is not a traveler, so it is impossible in principle.
âBut whyâŚâ
Of course, I muttered faintly, I was sure that Lexion had returned.
According to the guide, Lexion didnât return and was no longer the main character.
And the reason why he was unfamiliar now was because his role in the story had changed.
In the end, it meant that his actions were only a role fit for the new story.
I lowered my head, confused.
âBut why do I keep thinking that you came back like me?â
My last ray of hope disappeared and I felt weak.
Lexion now was not the same person I had met before.
So he couldnât remember me.
Itâs just related to Tiarozetti in this story, and I didnât know what it was.
Because there was no backstory in the book.
I asked with a gloomy face.
âSo whatâs Lexionâs role now?â
â The role of Lexion Sparrow is âunknown.â Since the setting value is constantly changing, his role is âunknowledgeableâ or âunknownâ.
âDonât tell me you donât know.â
I flipped over the book that didnât help at all.
Still, I couldnât get my hands off it.
When the book didnât show up, I was nervous that it wouldnât show up, but now it was the opposite.
I was nervous when the book appeared again.
Perhaps it was because of what it said to me.
Of the rules that changed, none of them were shocking.
I became the main character.
I took away the role of the main character.
Now that I had become the main character, Lexionâs story had changed to a sub-role.
Since I, a sub-character, became the main character, this novel was almost like a new one.
As the content changed, the cover color also changed.
Besides, unlike my previous life, the book was hiding a lot from me.
For example,
âWhy canât I see the plotâs background?â
When I asked with a face full of doubts, the guide answered.
â The main characterâs path is a difficult one, and the novel can be messed up. Therefore, the travelerâs authority is reduced.
âIf I donât know whatâs behind it, I wonât know how to act, right? Wouldnât that just ruin this?â
â Itâs not like that. For this, the âPreviewâ system works.
âPreview?â
â Yes. A preview is a system that presents the development in fragments. Travelers can act freely as long as the content given in the Preview is not disturbed.
âDoes that mean I get a penalty if I twist it?â
â If the plausibility is accepted, it will move on to âDevilâs Edit Modeâ. The âDevilâs Edit Modeâ is a way of deceiving the reader through the trailer, which can have side effects if used excessively.
âWhat is the side effectâŚâ
I lengthened the final word with a surprised face.
Then the guide answered in a soft tone.
â As a kind of penalty, there is a strong possibility that the story will proceed in a direction that the traveler does not want.
I wrapped my head at the guideâs mechanical answer.
In the end, that meant to shut up and act in order to not go against the Preview.
I didnât know what the penalty could be, but I couldnât act recklessly.
I frowned and asked.
âWhy did the cover color change?â
â Because this is the travelerâs second life in this life.
âSecond life?â
â A second trip to the same novel is called second life. As a result, the setting value of Tiarozetti Isol was changed.
I never imagined that there would be a second round of life on this trip.
In the first place, it was right to go back to my original home, not to have a second life.
I couldnât shake the feeling that I was deceived by the guide and the world.
Especially because the story I was experiencing now never had been mentioned in my previous life.
I rebuked the book straight away.
âFraud.â
â Youâre so mean.
The guide responded with a voice as if what I said was unfair.
Of course, because it was a mechanical voice, there was no soul in it.
I didnât even think to match his rhythm.
I asked what I was curious about, whether he complained, resented me or not.
âSo, what is the changed setting of Tiarozetti Isol?â
â To answer your questions, weâll go to the setting section.
With the brief answer, the book turned to the very last page.
The guide stopped turning the book exactly on the description page.
Then pointed out the part about the Isol tribe.
Parts that were previously inaccessible were changed as accessible now.
<b>-External Features: They possess silver hair and blue eyes. In particular, the unique silver hair of the Isol tribe cannot be copied by any magic. Itâs a distinctive feature.</b>
<b>-Basic Skill: Healing power using vitality. To use the said ability, the starting word is âEjis,â which means shield. Itâs the power to protect someone.</b>
<b>-Hidden Skills: The power to extort the opponentâs vitality. The starting word is âAsta.â
It means spear. Itâs the power to cause damage to someone.</b>
<b>-Notes: This ability is inherent in all Isols, but no one has seen it manifested yet.</b>
<b>It is the power to extend oneâs own life by stealing the life energy of the opponent. Is not suitable for the Isol tribe, which is gentle by nature.</b>
<b>Perhaps the reason why this power has not been manifested is due to the unique nature of the tribe.]</b>
âNonsense.â
I muttered, bewildered.
The information on the newly updated Isol was worth knowing.
Perhaps it was meant to kill the evil dragon with this hidden power.
I couldnât calm myself, but a beep alarm sounded from the book.
Tiling.
â The Preview has arrived!
A bookmark appeared along with the guideâs cheerful voice.
It was a bookmark that would appear when the following contents were to be continued.
When the bookmarked page was opened, the bookmark disappeared and blurred letters were engraved on it.
It was the next part of the novel.
Â
It was really absurd, but I, who was only a supporting character, had now become the main character.
Before the return, I was just a girl with unrequited love, following around the main character.
Now I was the one who should kill the evil dragon.
The evil dragon.
The worldâs greatest evil and the one that the main character, Lexion Sparrow, had to execute.
His existence alone had an adverse effect on people, and those who were affected by his thoughts had, without fail, shown sudden and bizarre behavior, causing incidents.
In addition, in this life, because he became stronger, there might be a flood of demons and human beings affected by these thoughts.
Even before I died, humans were engulfed in the power of the evil dragon which caused disasters.
The evil dragon was the evil that should be removed from the world, fitting the title of the book [The Opponent of the Evil Dragon.]
The transcendent, who is above the master rank, had said that it was a difficult task even for Lexion.
How could I kill such an evil existence with just one of Isolâs secret skills?
It was like holding an egg in your hand and asking, âTry breaking that rock with it!â
No matter how hard they hit, they couldnât just break the rock.
If I attacked it recklessly, I would be killed before even approaching the evil dragon.
Around the time I was full of such thoughts, Lexion had swapped a plate of chopped steak for mine.
âEat this.â
My eyes turned to him.
His expression was as gentle as usual, and I felt relieved.
âFortunately, youâre not angry anymore.â
That day, Lexion woke up after sleeping all day.
He slept so much that I was worried that he might be dead, but as soon as he woke up, he came to see me.
Lexionâs expression was stiff.
Perhaps he noticed that his body was completely healed and that I had exerted my energy.
As he grabbed my shoulder and let out a somewhat sad sigh, I thought something was wrong.\nI muttered with a piece of meat in my mouth, and he smiled brightly.
