Chapter 192: The Diary (2)
TL: FoodieMonster007
Baek Suryong's eyes trembled as he flipped through the diary left behind by the real Baek Suryong, whose life had taken a tragic turn after the 'accident' where he'd collapsed, unconscious, from practicing a forbidden demonic art.
He dreamed about being me?
As far as he knew, the real Baek Suryong had secretly learned a faulty demonic art to overcome the Heavenly Yin Severed Meridians and died as a result. After that, his own soul, which had perished in the Blood Cult fifty years ago, entered this empty body.
…At least, that was what he had firmly believed until now.
Since he didn't have any evidence to the contrary, and no memories of being 'Baek Suryong', he had always assumed that he was merely a wandering spirit who had inadvertently possessed a corpse. Alternatively, perhaps the Heavenly Yin Severed Meridians had somehow summoned him, who knew the Heaven Defying Divine Art, into this empty vessel.
However, if what's written in this diary is true, then…
A new possibility gnawed at his mind. What if he hadn't taken over Baek Suryong's body, but instead, reincarnated as Baek Suryong? What if, as a result of meddling with a faulty demonic art, Baek Suryong himself had sacrificed all memories of his present life in order to awaken his former life's ones?
"W-Wouldn't that mean… I'm the real Baek Suryong?" he stuttered, his voice shaking.
