Chapter 3: Just kill me already.
Translator: Soafp
“UGAAAAAAAA!!!!”
In front of me is the figure of bugbear that screams out.
“Huh? I died, didn’t I?”
I was supposed to be dead when the bugbear hit me.
But why am I still alive?
“Gau!”
The bugbear was swinging its fist at me. My body was crushed, and I was dead.
“Ah”
Again.
I should be dead, but I’m alive again.
“Gau!”
But I can’t do anything now that I’m back.
The bugbear swings his arm, and my body is crushed.
I should be dead.
“Ah!”
I came back to life again.
No, it can’t be.
It’s not that I came back to life, it’s that every time I die, time rewinds.
The skill “Save & Reset” that I got from the shadow probably has that kind of ability.
“Gau!”
I know that time rewinds.
But it doesn’t change the fact that I’m doomed to die as the bugbear swings its arm.
“…… Ha!”
Again.
Time rewinds again, just before I die.
“Gau!”
Right in front of me, the bugbear is about to swing its fist at me.
Seeing this, I realized something.
I was afraid that if I didn’t do something, I would be killed by this monster for eternity.
“Oi, what should—-“
What should I do? I tried to ask the shadow that had given me the skill, but couldn’t finish.
I was dead, killed by the bugbear.
“…… Haa”
Not a chance.
Being killed for all eternity is no different than living hell.
“Oi, what am I supposed to do!?”
This time, I could finish.
The shadow that had given me so much power had to know something about how to get out of this.
“………………”
Silence returned.
“Gau!”
The next moment, I was dead.
“Damn.”
Turning my back to the bugbear, I ran directly behind him.
I really didn’t want to die.
Every time I was hit by the bugbear, I felt an indescribable pain and a sense of exhaustion.
And just when I thought I had lost consciousness, I was forced to be awakened by time being rewound.
If I continued like this, I would definitely have a mental breakdown.
Therefore, I fled directly behind him, putting even the slightest chance of survival on the line.
“Kugagh!”
“….Aah”
As I fled directly behind him, the bugbear could easily reach out and touch me with his arm.
My body was slammed against the wall and deformed as if my whole body was crushed.
Naturally, I was dead.
“….Haa”
The next moment, the time has rewound to just before I was attacked again by the bugbear.
“Damn it.”
If escaping directly behind it doesn’t work, then this time I can just move my body to the right.
“Gau!”
I ran to the right, but the bugbear’s fist was still going to smash my body.
“…… Haa!”
The right side didn’t work earlier.
Then, this time, left.
“Gau!”
With a thud, my body slammed into the wall.
“…… Ah!”
Time rewound again.
No back, no right, no left. What to do?
“Gau.”
While I was thinking about it, I was killed.
“……Stop f*cking with me!”
I screamed and jumped high in the air.
I had no idea what I was going to do. I simply thought that if behind, right, and left didn’t work, up was the only way to go.
“Gau!”
“Ah……”
As I leapt upward, the fist of the bugbear caught me firmly in its body.
“….. haa.’
I exhaled and slumped to the ground.
I had no idea what to do.
“Gau”
Naturally, there was no way he could have missed me, and he bludgeoned me to death.
For the next 10 times or so, I was left at its mercy.
Over and over, and over—- I was beaten and killed, and my whole body was racked with intense pain and exhaustion, and every time, I was forcibly awakened.
It is much more painful than continuing to suffer from pain.
“Kill me already…….!”
I finally screamed.
Once I die, all that will come to me is eternal sleep.
How happy would that be?
“Can’t I just turn off my skills ……?”
If I delete “Save & Reset,” I should be released from this hellish time.
I thought so and opened the status screen.

Skill 1: Save & Reset
Skill 2: None
Skill 3: None
Skill 4: None
Skill 5: None

Blank status column except for 〈Save & Reset〉.
I wondered if I could erase the skill by fiddling with it somewhere.
With that thought in mind, I touched the status screen with my finger.
A number of memories flashed back into my mind.
Namia.
The men who raped Namia.
Darga, the man who killed Namia.
And the villagers who punished me for my false accusation.
I hated all of them.
If it were possible, I would kill them all with my own hands.
If I could get out of this dungeon alive, that would be possible.
Was my hatred so small that this would make me forget about it?
No, definitely not!
“Damn youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
I screamed, and the choice I made was to plunge forward.
I lunged forward without thinking, my legs tangled, and I fell down.
As a result, I was able to duck into the bosom of the bugbear.
Hyun! I heard the sound of the wind.
For the first time, I was able to dodge the fist of the bugbear.
“Guha!”
But after dodging the first blow, a second blow was waiting for me.
It would kill me.
Still, I felt satisfied enough.

Anyone have any idea of what anime is? I remember that in the comenta of the video some people said that it has time travel or time loop or something on those lines
And thanks for the chapter of course

December 6, 2022 at 2:42 amNono, Magnus, it’s other anime, I know Re zero pretty well.
The one I’m talking about has exactly the same start. The guy enters the house of the girl that it’s about to get raped by some soldiers in armor, they beat the s**t out of him and later he found the girl killed. It has the same animation of every generic fantasy/Isekai out there and I think it has time loop or re starts and s**t like that
