You Didn't Tell Me the Start of My Transmigration Was a Gate

The Start of Her Return (3)

If it were still me of the past, I would have charged up head first, but now that I’d become weak like a sheet of paper, I had to be more careful.

KIRURU KIRU–

The moment when the monster stopped and let out a strange sound.

I jogged those tearfully familiar, but yet still rusty senses of mine, as if I had not used them in a long while.

Circuits of a blue light etch onto the retina of my eye. In a flash, I am then thrown into a mind space where I am alone and in the center. Grains of sand flowed across the ground as shards of the wall flew across. People were breathless and yet crying– they were all too vivid as those images flashed past my mind.

‘Spatial Interference’

I was with my long-time friend, the Unique Skill I had lived my entire life with. In the blink of an eye, before the others still had yet to realize – I was already on the back of the earth general’s neck.

“Gasp!”

Even the sound of someone drawing in a sharp, deep breath was vivid. The earth general’s feelers sensed me and tried to brandish its pincer at me, but by then it was too late.

PLAT!

The earth general’s only weakness. The back of its neck, a crack on its ironclad-like outer shell.

This was the reason that it was a normal level monster. Stabbing it with a mere Grade F kitchen knife all the way through would pierce its brain and die. The feeling of gently slicing something tingled through my fingertips.

THUD-!

That massive body collapsed. Everyone stared at me while I pulled out the dinner knife from the corpse.

“That just now…”

“Get yourselves together and collect your stuff.”

Since one of the walls had collapsed, this was no longer a safe place to stay in. There was no saying when the ceiling would collapse too.

“Gather items you will need for survival. Food, drinks, daily necessities, everything. Aim for canned foods! Also, gather lighter and flammable items as well.”

“….Where are we heading?”

“There is an indoor gym not far from here.”

“How do you know if that location has been attacked by the monsters? Let’s just stay here. There are lots of items here too…”

“That monster earlier was an earth general, and the first monster that attacked the mart was a wind raker. Do you know what its name meant?”

The man shook his head.

“It hides itself in the wind and brandishes rakers. It means that the monster can make its body invisible.”

Their faces turned white as a sheet at my words. They must have imagined themselves getting slaughtered by a monster that they could not even see.

“So stop talking and start packing. Since there’s no wall now, we won’t even know if a Wind Raker decides to come in and kill someone this instant. Since the indoor gym is occasionally used as a shelter, there should be some survivors gathered there.”

The man seemed to have finally accepted my words. I picked up a bag that lay around in the storage room and started to pack. I filled the bag with canned food that I would usually eat, clean bottled water, and first aid kits. They were items that would be most precious to trade with in the open.

Damn it.

I suddenly pitied myself for getting into this situation once again.

This was also known as the worst gate tragedy in the world. After three years of isolation without external material support, it had become tough to distinguish between the humans and the monsters. Those who were meant to die died off in the first year, and those who survived spent the next two years fighting each other explosively in a devastating supplies war. Thankfully my first starting point was at the mart, and I had a useful skill that would allow me to survive, but…

Originally, everyone here was massacred except for me.

Back then, my Spatial Interference skill could only work on me alone, and for over a few meters. Due to the law which prohibits using Spatial Interference on others besides the executor themself, I did not have the chance to try it out. So I left those people who cried for my help behind and escaped. I returned after a long while and stole the remaining food that was left between the corpses.

It was a terrible memory that I had recollected. Thankfully this time… I had the means to save them. At the very least, I had the means to make sure they wouldn’t disappear so meaninglessly.
