Ex Rank Supporting Role's Replay in a Prestigious School

Support Ex-Rank

With my newly opened eyes, a huge amount of information poured in.

I felt the weight of death carried by superior beings in my widened field of view.

‘Even if it’s limited to life and death, it’s an eye that can measure superior beings’ existence.’

I was confident of avoiding an attack from the superior beings.

I might even be able to bounce back from death if my energy waves allow it.

‘It’s not just a simple reflection. I can see death with my eyes now.’

For comparison, I could be able to exert power similar to Balor.

I can show someone death just as Balor did to me in England.

Would I be able to kill everything that looks into my eye?

If I use this incorrectly, I could get into big trouble.

There’s no way that the power of the gods of death could be handled easily.

[Do you know what you can do with your strength?]

Princess Sahee, who I saw in the reflection of Glare, asked.

What this power is, and how powerful it is, I know it to some extent.

However, it is impossible to test it right now, so I decided to use the simplest way to check.

Before answering Princess Sahee, I opened my status window to check the skill’s description.

<Viewing skill information.>

Following the system message, a blue window appeared in front of my eyes.

[Skill Name] Glare of Life and Death

[Rarity] UR

[Skill Level] 1

[Effect] Creates a special phenomenon by gathering energy waves in the eyes.

The will of the gods of death adds power.

[Explanation]

Glare bearing the will of the gods of death.

Can only be used by those who are permitted.

It is similar to the explanation of the regular Glare skill, with a few differences.

Rarity has risen from SSR to UR.

A new effect added by the gods of death.

However, it is still unclear what it can do specifically.

And the skill level caught my attention.

‘It’s level 1 in skill, but I have the ability to show death?’

I felt a chill.

If the level rises, I might be able to cause death rather than just show it.

It was expected, but the power in my eyes weighed on my mind.

After reading the skill information, I deactivated the skill.

I answered Princess Sahee with an honest appreciation.

“I’m sorry, I don’t know.”

Princess Sahee stared down at me.

I felt her wisdom just from her words and gestures, and this action made my heart seem to drop.

Her eyes were covered, but it felt like her gaze was penetrating my mind.

Princess Sahee looked at me and spoke.

[I know you are afraid of the power we gave you. You said that you don’t know, but we know that you guessed it at a glance.]

She must’ve recognized the fear I felt.

It can’t be helped since she’s in close proximity.

Princess Sahee stopped talking while taking a breath to calm the agitation.

She seemed to be waiting for me.

After a while, she spoke again.

[Those who receive our will are humble and cautious. I am satisfied because we seem to have made a wise choice.]

The superior beings nodded in agreement.

Does she mean giving me this strength?

I don’t know how they can say that when I just said I was ignorant of this power.

[We are relieved that you understood the weight of the power that we gave you. You don’t have to worry.]

Princess Sanghee turned after finishing her speech.

She spoke to all the superior beings in the conference hall.

[That is it for our meeting. Today, now, those who disagree with the decision of this time, come forward. Once this meeting ends, our will is cemented!]

Princess Sahee’s shout rang through the conference hall, but no one stepped forward.

Instead, words of affirmation flowed sporadically.

[No objection. We have got a good eye.]

[I am satisfied. I’m just disappointed I wasn’t the presiding officer.]

[I was worried because he already has a big burden, but this is good.]

[I accept. Can we step back now?]

[If that kid doesn’t cross the line, we can leave it up to him forever.]

[No complaints. I’ve been waiting for this kind of human to show up.]

[I’m envious of the princess.]

There’s a mix of words that I don’t understand, but there seemed to be no objections.

I wondered why they envied Princess Sahee.

[As the presiding officer of this meeting, I took on the role of gathering the will of the gods to give you strength. In other words, you gained that power through me.]

Princess Sahee noticed my question.

She would smile every time she looked at me.

[I can see the light in your eye whenever you use the Glare of Life and Death. It’s kind of a watch station.]

A watch station?

Wouldn’t it be a hassle to take that heavy of a task?

She may have to take responsibility for big things, but I don’t know what’s so good about the increased obligation.

[I could’ve shared your view if it was an order… What a shame.]

Princess Sahee was very disappointed.

Did she think I was going to refuse if she gave me an order?

Or is there another reason why she can’t give me one?

I don’t know which, but Princess Sahee didn’t suggest giving an order.

[There’s a lot to do so we don’t wish to hold you. We’ll be seeing you off then.]

I thought the superior beings would leave, but I think they are waiting for me and the watchman to leave.

I thanked them and said goodbye and the watchman and I left together.

As we moved away, the watchman’s steps became lighter.

I don’t know the difference, but the watchman seemed to feel a lot of pressure.

Hwiii…

There was a breeze when I completely stepped out of the door.

I turned my gaze along the wind that flowed and when I turned back, I could no longer see the door in its place.

At some point, the door that led to the conference hall disappeared without a trace.

“Good job, Euishin-ah. Are your eyes okay? Isn’t it hard being close to them?”

The watchman worried about me as soon as we came out.

After checking my safety, again and again, he looked sorry.

“I actually knew that they might give you a duty… I’m sorry.”

Why is the watchman apologizing?

From the moment I decided to come here, I knew I had to do something to protect the bridle of information.

Rather, I felt like I gained a lot of strength.

‘A new power has been added to my Glare skill, and my level of understanding has increased. Though I don’t feel that positive about Replay’s stage going up.’

I spoke to the sorry watchman.

“No, it’s rather good that I gained a lot of variables.”

The watchman’s expression got darker.

He didn’t seem to like my words.

“Before we go down, I want to find the gap that he made here.”

“Huh? Right away?’

“It’s not very hard to do.”

I rested well in the space prepared by the watchman, and the superior beings didn’t put on much stress on me.

We were already at a high point of the bridle, so the landscape was visible at a glance.

Staring at the bridle of reincarnation, I invoked the power I gained.

<Skill Glare of Life and Death

Wuuuu…!

I felt like I heard a scream in the shifting view.

It was like the sound of the whole space.

It was ridiculous to hear a sound with your eyes, but I did.

There was a pattern left in a gap.

‘There’s Jin there!’

I also saw the secrets of this world.

The passage and shortcut of the underworld leading to the bridle.

Traces left by strong souls that transcend the laws of life and death.

Secrets of death that are difficult to say.

And I saw countless names.

Among them, I saw something that suffocated me.

‘The names of my playable characters…!’

Perhaps it’s just the same name.

No, I was sure that they were my playable characters.

Even the NPCs that disappeared silently in PMH were there.

I could see why the stolen information was compiled in a ‘Hit List.’

‘They tried to select and kill those who will never degenerate, those who have a strong will and soul.’

When I clenched my fist to suppress my anger, I heard the watchman’s voice.

“Euishin-ah! Are you okay?”

He must’ve been worried when I showed my emotions.

My mind and body were okay.

Using Glare consumes more energy now, but it is tolerable.

“You have the power to restore the bridle of reincarnation, but you couldn’t cope because you couldn’t see what was coming after it, right?”

“Yes, I can fill the gap around the place where shockwaves occur, but I don’t see traces left.”

It would be simple if the watchman could handle it himself.

“I will tell you the locations of all the cracks he has made.”

“Did you find them already? Okay! Tell me and I’ll fill it in right away!”

“There’s a simpler method.”

<Light skill Player Identity activated.>

I chose Cheon Dongha, the character that specializes in sight.

I usually use his light skill Eye Embracing Heaven and Earth, but I chose one of his derived skills this time.

<Using character’s skill Sharing Vision.>

Cheon Dongha can share whatever he sees.

His light skill gets an enormous amount of information, so sharing it should be done carefully.

However, the one beside me is the powerful watchman, so it will be okay.

‘He helped Ma Jinseung make Yeom Junyeol run away with this skill.’

The ability that saved Yeom Junyeol will save the watchman this time.

Fwaaaat!

The watchman’s eyes and mine were colored with the same light.

The watchman was flustered by the information that suddenly caught his eye, but his expression soon hardened when he stared down.

It would be flustering to see so many gaps, but he immediately carried out his duty.

He raised his hands and began to gather strength.

The force that extended from both hands spread far into the air.

It was as if a huge mountain was placed on his hands.

‘It’s more powerful than the Glare of Life and Death!’

The power of the watchman belongs to the gods of death.

The moment the huge force was released…

Jwaak!

His hands met each other, the echo spreading throughout the bridle of reincarnation.

The force that burst out of his hands went straight into the gaps.

And when he clapped ten times, all the cracks carved into the bridle of reincarnation disappeared.
