Chapter 02: Tai Jin

The girl took a few steps back, and signs of fear appeared on her face, but what scared her more than his words was the calmness when he confessed his crimes.

but in the end, she gathered her courage to find out what realm he was at before she got angry, screaming at him

"How could a weakling in the fourth level of the evolution realm dare to say that he killed thousands? Are you making fun of me?"

But the young man ignored her words. Instead, all his focus was on an attempt to retrieve his memories.

"Tai Jin, no, there's something wrong. Tai is the name of the target I'm supposed to kill. I don't even have a name. Ah, Tai Jin is that old man's name."

His ignoring to the girl increased her anger, and she exploded at him, screaming.

"Why are you ignoring me and not answering me, or are you planning your next massacre, Level 4 thug master?"

Not caring about her anger, Jin closed his ear with his finger, fearing that her screaming would damage his eardrums.

"And what does level have to do with killing? Only daring is what you need to kill people. That's not our topic. Come on, give me five hundred silver and let me go."

"give you five hundred what...?, listen, scammer, I won't give you anything."

"scammer? You're the one who called me here, so you have to take responsibility, or are you planning on letting me live like a homeless and with no money?"

'Was it me who summoned him?' The girl began to reconsider herself, thinking that she should not have tried to summon the Holy Guardian from the beginning, as the idea was impossible. However, she thought there was no harm in trying at that time.

And now, instead of the holy guardian, this young man appeared in front of her out of nowhere, which means that the magic succeeded in one way or another.

"Well, you're right. You're my responsibility. I'm the one who brought you, and I'm the one who'll bring you back. Just tell me who you are and where you were before I summoned you."

Jin smiled and answered immediately.

"My memory is a bit muddled, but I can tell you this, I'm Tai Jin, and I was in the Black Wall Castle on Ancestral Island, about forty years from now."

"Okay, Mister Jin, I will pay for your trip to Isla...…."

The girl froze and was silent for a few seconds before screaming.

"Island of what? Forty what? The future? this is impossible. At first, you said you were a cold-hearted killer, and now you say you came from the future, you liar, who are you trying to deceive here?"

The young man raised his hair, revealing his scarlet eyes, giving her a stern look; he advanced toward her with steady steps. The aura around him changed suddenly. The air became heavy, and she felt cold sweat on her forehead.

"You girl, how dare you to call me a liar? The one who will call me a liar hasn't been born yet.

Despite his weak level, the girl's body froze, and she couldn't move at all, his unusual aura made her recalculate.

'This killing intent is not for an ordinary person. Could it be that he is a real killer?'

The young man's face became close to her and his mouth curved slightly, making a frightful smile.

"The one who will call me a liar hasn't been born yet because I have not been born yet at this time."

"Uh...."

*haha* the boy laugh

"didn't you get it? I wasn't born yet at this timeline because I'm from the future. Why don't you laugh? didn't you like the joke?"

The expressions of anger came back, covering her beautiful face. She began to tighten her fist, preventing herself from hitting the boy who enjoys making fun of her. However, she wanted to hit him, but the killing intent that she saw from him made her rethink trying to solve the issue by discussion.

"Time travel is impossible."

"Look who's saying that? Someone who tried to summon a fictional character," he commented sarcastically and then added.

"All I have told you is the truth. If you don't believe me, take a second look at your magic circle. This magic circle is a Time and Dimensional Magic Circle."

The girl jumped to the book turning its pages and searching for the correctness of what he said. After reading a few pages, she froze in her place. Her mind was still trying to comprehend everything that happened and what this boy was trying to say without reaching anything.

Finally, she burst out in terror, with tears in her eyes.

"I wanted to stop the war, and instead, I brought a killer from the future. I brought disaster upon the kingdom."

The look of the girl and the tears in her eyes affected Jin. He grabbed the girl by the shoulders, trying to calm her down.

"Calm down a bit. You don't need to be worried. Because of the summoning process, my memory is a little messed up. However, I can assure you that I'm not the crazy killer. I was fighting against the killer before you brought me here, and I also remembered a story that will make you happy, the war will stop soon, and there will be a truce."

The girl was relieved, at least now she heard something joyful, but she is still skeptical about it, especially after the ominous aura he gave off before.

"And what about the killing intent that surrounds you?"

"Old habits are hard to get rid of quickly, especially after everyone I've killed before."

The girl's face turned black again, and she began to stutter.

"Mur... murderer, you are a murderer, and I thought you were a good person and believed your words about you fighting against the killer."

"And what did you expect me to be? A fisherman?" You need a killer to take out another killer, and why are we still talking about this? None of this has happened yet. It's all in the distant future, so stop dribbling around and take responsibility for my summoning." Jin extended his hand, asking for money.

Reluctantly, the girl took out what she had after finding no other solution.

"All I have is three hundred silver."

"It's okay, that's enough for now, but you owe me two hundred silver."

The young man came out of the hut waving his hand at her and without even turning around and said,

"Oh right. If you hadn't summoned me, I would probably have ended up dying against my opponent. You saved my life, so thank you."

When the broke girl was thinking about how she would live after all her money had gone, she suddenly realized that the talisman in the middle of the magic circle had disappeared.

"Bastard, I saved his life, but he scammed me and stole my money, even taking my talisman with him."

The girl's face turned red with anger, she suddenly found out that it was he who had to pay for saving his life, but in the end, she controlled herself and thought.

'Where is he going to run from me? After months there will be an entrance exam to the academy, and he will come back here to participate in it.'
