09 CALLIX POV

Once Upon a time, I was just an ordinary office clerk in a city in the country of South korea until the day when a mysterious figure came to my dream and said, "from today you are the hero chosen to deal with him in place of that child."

through that impromptu dream, my story as callix, the forgotten seventh prince began.

the real callix had died from the poison she'd been given daily in small doses for two years.

I kim jin wo, with my memories of my former life have managed to survive and achieve many things in the new world. money, power and absolute position as crown prince to get rid of the useless callix brothers. I got everything.

then, I could understand the message shortly after the disaster came. apparently, the reason callix's body was born so strong with abundant strength was none other than because there was a reason. become a hero.

just when I thought I could accomplish that destiny in a war, I was killed by the leader of my enemy.

I thought it was over and I was going to be me again, kim jin wo. as it turned out, I did a regression right when callix's body was ten years old.

my determination at that time was still quite strong, I repeated everything well and with more thorough preparation. I didn't make the same mistake in my first life.

however, when confronted by the demon lord I had to kill, I was always killed by him.

over and over, over and over again. I wondered and began to doubt myself.

in the seventh regression, the demon entered my body and cursed me. when I decided to kill myself, it seemed that the curse went with me back to the past.

the curse consumes me every night. made me lose my mind, made me a beast like a beast. many times I have died by suicide when I could no longer bear all that pain.

that curse, made my position as a prince a disgrace to the emperor's family.

no matter how much I die and come back, the curse is always with me as if the devil knows that I can go back in time.

I am slowly losing who I used to be. I started forgetting things, I gave in to circumstances and let the emperor's family kill me.

I'm getting tired. I'm stuck. all dark and painful.

when breathing feels like thousands of arrows pierced me,when moving my body feels burned out. all my bones felt crushed by force, my stomach was filled with Sharp Objects. for a long time All I remembered was the pain until I myself did not realize that I had been left in an abandoned palace with the shackles of iron chains that kept me in this place.

callix's mother was killed in the palace where I live now. my dozen regressions, this is where I wait. waiting to die of hunger, to die of the sickness that gnaws at me every night, or to die of an assassin sent by the emperor's family.

I'm tired. I give up.

krieettt

the window that never opened moved. the cold air swept over my skin, the glare of the bright light piercing my sense of sight.

someone's coming. he'll kill me soon, good. save me! kill me!

"hi callix, how are you?"
