Chapter 31: First Crisis (3)
There’s a famous saying:
“Nothing in life ever goes the way you expect.”
And sure enough, the world always veers more wildly off-script than one might think.
That doesn’t change—even if the one in question is a regressor, a transmigrator, or someone reincarnated.
Maybe that’s why they scream and claw for every scrap of fortune, desperately trying to survive the curveballs that even they can’t predict.
Humans fear what they don’t understand, after all.
I never used to understand that line at all—but soon, I would learn exactly what it meant.
Why they struggled so hard in their second chance at life. Why they fought so desperately just to survive.
Why they hoarded the items of existing characters, devoured all the fated encounters, and stole away the blessings meant for others—just because they happened to know what kind of hell was coming.
Why they clung so fiercely to life, to the chance of returning to the world they left behind.
I found out.
