Reader’S Regeneration Life [EN]: Chapter 113

113―――――

‘The moonlight is so beautiful.’

‘There have been quite a few cases where guys with average mana get stronger by encountering lucky chances.

Though most of them were either taken out by Kim Yu-hyun before long or subdued by the villains.’

Most were minor supporting characters or characters briefly mentioned.

From the start, they didn’t fill their bodies with refined mana but temporarily increased their mana using something special. So, when that was gone, they quickly became toothless tigers.

‘And damn it.

In the end, they all had some mana in their bodies to begin with.

Unlike this body, which has no mana at all!’

2 multiplied by 10 is 20, and even 1 multiplied by 10 is 10.

But if the initial value is 0, no matter what number you multiply it by, the result is still 0.

Sion’s current state was exactly like that.

A state where he couldn’t escape from 0 no matter what he did.

‘In the end, magical artifacts or items that amplify existing mana are useless to me.

What’s left is to use them in a way that adds something to what I already have.’

All such auxiliary magical artifacts on the continent focus solely on amplifying existing magic power.

There was no need to be kind to someone with no mana at all, and since a mana idiot like me wasn’t common, there was no reason to consider making such artifacts.

“Shit…”

Sion sighed, running a hand over his forehead.

At least he had the cloak that Lucia made after much hardship, so he wouldn’t be erased by a single magic spell, but that was only the limit for magic at Lucia’s level.

She had some talent for magic, inheriting Lido’s blood, but Sion knew that wasn’t Lucia’s true talent.

Above all, the cloak only blocked magic.

If a monstrous guy like Trisha from before charged at him like a tank in a melee, there was absolutely no way for him to stop it.

‘Is there anything helpful, even in passing, in the novel?’

Nope, there isn’t.

There’s no way.

From the start, this novel depicts the story of Kim Yu-hyun growing into the strongest in the world.

It meant that Sion wasn’t a mana scrub like Sion, and he didn’t need to worry about such things.

There were some magical artifacts that Kim Yu-hyun’s allies used, but for the current Sion, they were like items with level restrictions and job restrictions that he couldn’t use even if he died and came back to life.

‘…Sigh.

I’ll have to get those and upgrade their specs instead.’

What he felt today was that Rishikida and Lucia’s specs were a bit lacking.

Lia would officially activate the title of ‘Child Chosen by Lightning’ when she became an adult, and Lilith was an incomparable powerhouse from the start, so they were fine, but the other two were different.

First, they had the clear limitation of being human. In addition, one had already retired early in the novel, so their potential for growth wasn’t properly suggested, and the other thought magic was her best weapon and focused only on it until the end, eventually retiring as well.

In other words, if Sion didn’t stimulate them or give them advice, there was a very high probability that both of them would stay there forever.

‘Absolutely not.

No, absolutely not, you guys!

We have to go all the way together!’

They were women who had helped him extend his life and would continue to help him.

Sion planned to use every card he could to survive.

Of course, not just surviving, but living comfortably and well-fed.

‘And well… they’re all my women, so as a man, I should take care of them.’

Son, if you ever get into trouble, bring that woman no matter what.

It’s natural for a man to take care of his woman.

If you abandon her, you’ll get a thunderbolt on your back.

Sion trembled at his mother’s words, which came to mind after a long time.

If you asked why he was so scared of a simple back slap, Sion wanted to tell you to try getting hit once and then say that.

Anyway, Sion believed that it was right to take responsibility for what you did.

In that sense, Rishikida and Lucia were ‘my women’ that he absolutely had to take with him.

‘Damn it.

Actually, I should be worrying about my own life first.’

Both of them were women who wouldn’t have to worry about retiring if he was safe.

Conversely, if his life was on the line, they might have already lost their lives.

Now, he had to take responsibility for the safety of everyone who followed him, not just his own.

Sion muttered some nonsense about whether this was the weight of a head of household and moved to the garden.

Staying cooped up in his room and worrying only made his head throb, and wandering around at night like this wasn’t something he usually did, but for some reason, he felt a man’s instinct to do something he didn’t usually do.

Unlike the afternoon sunlight, the moonlight and starlight pouring down from the night sky sparkled.

It was already quiet because it was a corner of the garden that even the people in the castle didn’t come to often, but being together with the darkness made him feel like he was in a completely different place.

The cool night air and the subtly shining moonlight calmed his jumbled mind.

Sion blankly admired the scenery of the garden and fell into various thoughts.

‘I’ve held out pretty well.

I really came all this way.’

Honestly, he thought he was lucky when he accepted Lilith without any problems.

He didn’t even think about the war with Nudia or picking up Rishikida, and he never dreamed that Lucia would show him affection and ask him to hug her first.

Was that all?

The royal palace raid, the slave market incident, and the monster attack by Klausen.

Various coincidences and situations fit together perfectly, and he was able to resolve them almost without any problems.

‘In the meantime, I made contact with Princess Vanessa and Helen, and even secured ‘selfish’ Trisha.’

But above all, the best achievement was that he had eased the vigilance of the protagonist, Kim Yu-hyun, and succeeded in gaining some degree of favor, even if it wasn’t complete trust.

No matter how much he flew and crawled, he couldn’t achieve a complete victory against the Celestials without Kim Yu-hyun, so having him by his side was really the best scenario for Sion.

‘Now, if I can successfully prevent the problem of the northern barbarians and the upcoming insurgency of the southern pirates, and even solve the problem of the different races, Hispania can face the Great Continental War without any problems.’

Originally, Hispania would face the Great Continental War after the country was half devastated.

The insurgency of the northern barbarians, the rebellion of the nobles, the pirates in the south, and the collapse of Klausen’s margraviate [territory governed by a margrave].

In that state, they were deceived by the nonsense that ‘all the misdeeds were the work of the demons!’ and gathered all their strength to attack the demons.

And at the forefront were Ludwig, who was eager to make a name for himself, and Prince Erader, who also needed a decisive contribution to become king.

‘But it’s different this time.

Princess Vanessa, who is cautious, has gained power.’

That was all his work.

He didn’t aim for such chain reactions, but it turned out to be the best decision.

“I’m doing well.”

Sion unknowingly let those words slip out.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t surprised or scared.

Honestly, he was a little scared when he first saw Kim Yu-hyun.

He was so careful because his head was about to fly off, but somehow he came this far.

Moreover, he was not Sion Klausen, the weakest villain in the novel, but was establishing himself as a helper to the strongest in the world.

‘A clever villain never calls himself a villain.’

World destruction or world domination.

Those are just nonsense uttered by third-rate or second-rate villains.

Why destroy the world, why conquer the world?

Both are just tiring and don’t get you anything.

Sion knew very well that the most fun and comfortable thing to do was to be a behind-the-scenes power.

Hiding behind the hero, or acting like a hero.

He would take everything he could from his followers and blame those who opposed him for all the crimes, innocent or not.

‘I’ll succeed as if to show the author.’

“Would you like to save him?”

The author’s answer was still vivid in his mind.

If you look at it roughly, it’s just asking a question, but if you look at it differently, it seems like a provocation.

As if to mockingly ask if you, the reader, can do better than the author, and to try it.

Rustle―.

While Sion was lost in thought.

A shadow was carefully approaching him from behind.

It was approaching so quietly that the sound of stepping on the grass was drowned out by the wind.

Of course, it was only natural that Sion didn’t notice the presence, and in the end, he allowed an unidentified person to approach him from behind.

Thump!

“Gack!”

Sion was startled by the sudden sensation of being choked and struggled.

He waved his arms around, and when that didn’t work, he tried to scream, but something blocked his mouth with a thud, and he failed.

‘Shit!

What, what is it?

What is it!

Kidnapping?’

The first thought that came to mind was the Celestials who had targeted him before.

And then the radical fairies who couldn’t do anything about the royal palace or even Klausen’s territory because of him.

The common point between the two was that they could try to eliminate him again.

‘Ugh!’

Seeing that they were restricting his movement and preventing him from making a sound, even a toddler could tell that their intentions were not good.

Sion tried his best to resist, but the opponent’s strength was so strong that he couldn’t do anything.

As if not allowing him to see anymore, a palm covered Sion’s eyes.

‘…Damn it.

Am I just going to die like this?’

Damn it, he was too complacent.

That’s what he was thinking.

Suddenly, Sion’s body fell onto the grass and lay there.

And then it seemed like he could see for a brief moment, but then darkness came again.

‘…What is it?’

Something was strange.

It was very strange.

At first, he was too flustered to notice, but a sweet and strangely familiar scent began to linger strongly at the tip of his nose.

Not only that, but soon something moist soaked his nose, philtrum [area between the nose and upper lip], and lips.

Something soft, warm, hot, sweet, and radiating heat, something twitching.

As the liquid slowly seeped through the gaps in his lips, Sion unknowingly tasted it with his tongue.

Had he ever tasted something so sweet?

Sion unknowingly parted his lips and stuck out his tongue.

“Heuh!”

At that moment, a very familiar voice was heard in his ear.

What the heck?

Just as Sion was about to move his hand.

The soft flesh that had been covering his eyes was removed, and soon a dazzling, shimmering silver waterfall that seemed to reflect the moonlight flickered before his eyes.

“Hello.”

Ruby eyes that anyone would have to believe were embedded with rubies.

It seemed that countless men would fall for that one word, hello, that came from her plump lips.

From the start, the atmosphere she exuded was dreamy and mysterious, and since she was receiving the moonlight, he even wondered if a goddess had descended.

“L, Lilith?”

The succubus queen, Lilith, gave a dizzying smile at Sion’s words.

“Sion.

Just a little more.”

“Huh?”

“Stick your tongue out again.

Lick it.

That feels good.

Ugh….”

As if it wasn’t a lie, Lilith placed her vulva around Sion’s mouth and gently turned her waist.

Thanks to that, along with the dizzying scent of a woman, the succubus’s unique sweet nectar flowed in.

Sion felt his little guy getting bigger and bigger at the terrifying seduction that drove men crazy.

Sion briefly wondered if he should ask her to move, but he didn’t foolishly put it out [reject the offer].

Breaking this atmosphere or pushing the woman away was not gentlemanly.

Slurp―.

Sion stuck out his tongue as she wanted and licked the woman’s moist crack.

Then Lilith straightened her waist and let out a moan of satisfaction, Haaah!

It was as if an old thirst or dissatisfaction had been resolved.

The woman was completely occupying his face and shaking her hips.

It would be a lie if he said it wasn’t uncomfortable, but the pleasure was greater than the discomfort.

Because a woman with such dizzying charm and beauty was bringing her vulva to his mouth and trembling on his tongue, constantly moaning with pleasure.

‘Everything is good except that I can’t see Lilith-nim’s face well.’

Thanks to Lilith, who was shaking her waist in a trance, Sion couldn’t see her face well.

Every time he tried to see, her crotch blocked his view.

In the end, Sion slyly raised his hand and tapped her side.

It meant that it was enough, so please come down.

“Ah?”

“Ah, sorry.

It felt so good.”

As if she had regained some reason, Lilith shyly got up from her seat.

A long silver thread stretched out, and when the woman’s buttocks fell from his face, Sion was finally able to see Lilith’s beautiful figure properly.

‘…Wow.’

This was so fraudulent that he couldn’t even swear.
