Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

The hall which was always vibrant with alchemists and scholars was smeared in blood. The intact faces of the corpses were filled with agony and unwillingness as if they had gone through a huge injustice.

Veurin didn't seem to be shaken at all, she just looked at the corpses as if it was the most normal thing.

Such was her personality, Veurin was a neutralist through and through. If she were on the good side, she would perform good deeds and if she was on the evil side, she would perform a massacre like the most natural thing.

Zick's eye, hidden by the mask, shone in an eerie light: "If you want to leave the doors right in front of you, why make a face as if you have eaten some bitter medicine?"

Hearing Zick's words, the captives had the same thought pass through their head: 'He is not normal...'

"Let's get going already, I feel bored. Those wusses would be able to get out of here by themselves." Zick yawned and started walking toward the device which seemed like an elevator.

Zick could see the captives already beginning to move from the corner of his eyes: 'They will all be killed by a golem the moment they step out of the tower. Like I would leave these people alive, the temple would be able to deduce my action. In other words, the gods will also find out about me.'

'Veurin is my hidden weapon, she must not be found out. Luckily, it seems she is not blessed by any good according to Levienel, her curse affected Veurin normally.' Zick considered rapidly while briskly walking before the elevator

Veurin nodded at one of the women who spoke to her sometimes and followed behind Zick.

"So, what are you planning to do next?" Veurin asked, having many expectations in her head.

"I was thinking of killing the tower master myself but I will let you do it. Ah, the alchemist who researched on you is also all yours."

"Say, say, Don't you think I am a good senior?" Zick shamelessly asked.

"....Yeah." Veurin's eyes were filled with killing intent.

The elevator activated, slowly taking them to a higher floor.

For a long time, Zick had been bothered by the fact his actions would be limited because of the kind personality that he feigned.

He found a simple solution, which was to make another group of talented people, who were not against doing evil.

Though there was a chance of someone finding out in the middle, Zick would still retain most of the benefits.

'Actually, I am interested in what kind of expression they will make after finding out my deeds.' Zick snickered internally, not suppressing his emotions at all.

On one side, the hero who saved the whole continent from the Revelner disease. And on the other hand, an evildoer, who kills people for fun and pleasure.

If Zick had to choose personally, he would choose to be the evil doer the most.

"Don't you find it exciting? The fact that the Jhesker alchemy tower, which stood for hundreds or even thousands of years is going to be destroyed?" Zick asked with a heated tone.

"Yeah...But, I am more excited about killing the tower master! That old crone is the reason I suffered for so long, I will be sure to return all that suffering back to him." Veurin's face was filled with fierceness.

The grievance and hatred of killing one's parents were not to be looked down upon.

Looking at the motivated Veurin, Zick was satisfied internally: 'I am sure Yuriel must have collected all the golems, researches, devices, and space rings from everyone in the tower by now.'

The golems could be dismantled and used in the creation of another golem after all. So they had high value too.

TING~

Zick and Veurin reached their destination. It was on the 55th floor of the alchemy tower.

This floor was an open field, similar to a grass plain. This floor was used to experiment with certain kinds of devices to check their mobility and such.

There, all the important alchemists and the higher-ups were kept. They all stood in a single area looking horrified, many chains held them in one place, it was a security method used by them. But right now, being controlled by Yuriel, it was used against them.

The next moment, Yuriel abruptly appeared beside Zick, startling Veurin.

Yuriel did not use her space magic, this was just her normal speed produced by her body's strength.

"I have placed the apex-grade mana bombs at the assigned places," Yuriel spoke loyally.

"Oh, good, I guess the fireworks are ready too now."

Zick's and Yuriel's relaxed voices reached the alchemist, making their body shudder.

"You...You bastard! Do you think the other alchemy tower would just watch from the sidelines?!" An alchemist started screaming at Zick in a threatening tone.

Zick narrowed his eyes: 'Of course, I don't want to gather any attention right now, so I am hiding all my traces. In the future, when the time is right and I have enough strength, I will spread my deed myself.'

If Zick gathered attention now, all his movement would be closely watched by the other colossal forces, thus, he delayed the finding of the culprit who destroyed the alchemy tower himself.

The one who seemed to be the leader spoke at that moment: "Quiet everyone!"

The other alchemist closed their mouth immediately.

The tower master, Gantrece, looked to be in his mid-thirties and had brown hair and a beard.

"We can negotiate, there is no need to cause any bloodshed right now." Gantrece had a calm expression unlike others as he proposed.

Zick tilted his head: "I Would accept that request before, what bad luck." he shook his head as if it was a letdown.

"What do you mean?" Gantrece asked, having a bad premonition.

"Tch, old shit, did you drill a hole in your skull too? Your brain must be leaking out for you to not even understand such a simple thing. Ohh, Or is it that your eyes are rotten?" Zick expressed his disdain in his voice.

Yuriel: "...."

The alchemist: "...."

Zick's voice just grew in volume: "Can't you see the lady standing beside me? Hmm? or did you already forget about her, huh?"

Gantrece had an ugly expression looking at the behavior of the person who made the grand alchemy tower fall to such a state.

What difference was there between him and a roadside gangster?!!

Gantrece looked at Yuriel but she stood behind Zick like a loyal subordinate. He next looked at the women beside Zick.

His eyes shrunk: 'So that's the reason.' Gantrece's eyes narrowed.

He remembered the prior action of Yuriel. She had already taken all their space rings.

Gantrece controlled his expression: "For you to be such a kind person, I understand now. But could that woman's value be more than what I can offer? I will surely satisfy you with the compensation for letting us go."

Gantrece tried enticing Zick as his last resort.

Another alchemist also enticed: "Yes, you will surely profit immensely. Is that woman beside you worth it? Please consider it properly."

"That's right....."

At the moment of their death and life, they discarded their pride with no hesitation.

Zick shook his head: "Sigh...You dickhead must be talking about the hidden vault on the top floor right? Pfft, you think I will let such a thing go unnoticed?" Zick mocked them blatantly while pointing at Gantrece.

"What....?" Gantrece was shocked hearing this, it was almost impossible to find that place unless they broke the whole floor into pieces. But these people found it.

'How is that possible?!' Gantrece's heart bled thinking of all the things within that vault.

His eyes turned red and his breathing became rough. All the accumulation of generations of tower masters was stored there, but now it was all taken by this person before him.

If it was possible to kill just by looking, Ganrece would have killed Zick millions of times.

"...." There was nothing else to negotiate, their fate was sealed.

"Hahahahahaha!" Zick laughed as if taking pleasure in their suffering.

Even Veurin felt chills looking at Zick, she was attracted to his way of doing things and grateful to him as he was going to help her exact revenge but it was her first time experiencing this kind of thing.

Zick stopped laughing: "Okay, I am willing to let you go, leaving aside the people who worked in the creation of the impure golem."

Zick felt a sense of excitement, he was enjoying the process for real: "If the people who were working in the impure golem don't step up within 30 seconds, you will all die."

The alchemist became frantic at once.

"Goren, why aren't you moving forward?!"

"You bastard!! How dare you abandon me like this?!"

"Miss Hestelen, please move forward too!"

"Fuck all your family!!"

A period of cursing and fighting each other ensued. Even with a little chance of living, all of them leaped to it desperately.

In the end, with the cooperation of everyone, they pushed forward ten alchemists.

Looking at the ten people before him, Zick applauded.

"Ah, I am so grateful for all your help! Now I don't have to go through the trouble." Zick's voice was filled with schadenfreude.

A bad feeling appeared in the alchemist's heart.

Zick continued speaking: "Well, As a reward for your hard work, I will send you off painlessly. Yuriel, Leaving aside these ten people and the tower master, kill everyone off."

Looking at the faces of the alchemists turning pale, Veurin recessed Zick. His means were just too vicious!

"What? Wait...." Before the alchemist could finish, his head left its body and fell to the ground. The same thing happened to all other alchemists sentenced to death by Zick.

Zick looked at Veurin from the corner of his eye: 'Burn this sight into your head, think about this if you ever were to think of going against me.'
