My Past Life

Of course.
I never thought I would be able to face my past life in this way.
To be honest, I never thought I would be able to see my past life again.
Is there any reason to want to see that world that executed me again?
I certainly never thought that someone else would be able to see that past.
Feeling the focused gazes on me, I tried to remain calm.
‘Calm down.’
This is a gate.
I have a body that needs to clear the gate.
So I shouldn’t run away.
I shouldn’t…
“Lee Seonbaek. Answer me.”
“Are you saying this is the world where the Calamity used to be?”
Sion expressed his doubt.
Yeon Taeseon nodded.
“If that being called the White Magic Tower Head is your Constellation.”
“Now.”
Leaving the two who were resolving their doubts, I asked Mia.
“What year is it in the Lexas domain?”
“413.”
“And the date?”
“The month when Floria flowers scatter, Hyacinth.”
My head throbbed at the year and date that came out without any hesitation.
The two who had heard the cryptic answer had a puzzled expression, but I knew.
This is…
The day I was subdued to be taken to the execution platform.
“Seize the sinner, Seonibaek Lin!”
A resounding knight’s voice was heard.
It was from the direction of the Magic Tower.

Magic is a strange thing.
If there is a being with a strong will, and if that person’s magical prowess is high.
Magic is activated regardless of that person’s will.
…Meaning, I ran away.
With a spatial magic that was manifested arbitrarily.
I looked up at the sky.

[Hint: Do what you want to do!]
This is my stage.
What I want to do is…
‘I don’t want to die.’
Something more fundamental than that is…
‘I didn’t want to be caught.’
I concluded so.
Flying in the sky above the main gate of the Magic Tower, feeling the fluttering wind and the scent of grass, I looked down.
A man with lavender-colored hair was dealing with the knights, unable to hide his bewilderment.
It was a nostalgic face.
My first disciple.
“What brings the Imperial Knights here?”
“Sinner, Seonibaek Lin, listen!”
For the record, I wasn’t there because of the parade.
“Seonibaek Lin was negligent and neglected her duties, and at the Magic Tower, she conducted human experiments, taking the lives of thousands of children.”
“What did you say?”
People were murmuring.
They were not the people who had followed the parade, but people who had been caught up in the crowd and were just trying to enjoy the festive atmosphere.
“Human experiments? Really?”
“No way. The Magic Tower Head is such a good person.”
“Furthermore.”
A heavy low voice descended, silencing the surroundings.
“In the process, she murdered the hero candidate who was supposed to slay the Demon King, ‘Tilted Nebula’.”
“Pardon?”
My first disciple was very flustered and shouted that it was nonsense.
I have never conducted human experiments, and the Magic Tower Head worked for the development of the world.
The way he was passionately defending me was worthy of being called loyal.
But I saw it.
Very slightly, his lips had curled up and then down.
“…”
My first disciple’s name was Lilac.
Because his lavender hair suited him, I had picked him up from the streets and raised him diligently.
To be honest, he had no talent for magic.
It was a misfortune for him, if anything, that his teacher had risen to a rather high level in the country.
I understood everything from the fleeting smile that had passed in an instant.
Perhaps it was because I was now a Constellation who had transcended humanity.
Because his inner thoughts were vividly heard in my mind.
‘I can now surpass the White Magic Tower Head.’
Such an arrogant conviction was heard in my mind.
I looked up at the sky.

[Hint: Do what you want to do!]
What I want to do.
Unfairness. Anger. Sadness. Fear.
“Divine punishment.”
Revenge.
A magic circle spread across the city’s sky.
The sky turned red, and a meteor shower fell.
This was a tantrum.
It was possible because it was inside a gate.
If I had actually ordered them all to be killed, I would not have been able to do it.
White was a city that I had built and raised.
So it had to be me who destroyed it.
“O Calamity!”
“Lee Seonbaek!”
The two of them ran towards the Magic Tower from a distance.
I noticed my new desire.
‘I don’t want to tell those two everything.’
I had no fault in this execution.
There was no reason to hide it.
If I were to tell them, those two would comfort the crying me.
But I didn’t want to.
‘I just want to vent my anger.’
Because it’s inside a gate.
I may have had a very strong sense of injustice about my death.
Much, much more than I thought.
So much that I would take revenge as soon as I got the chance.

A meteor shower fell from the sky.
The small meteor shower fell from the sky to the ground in an instant, destroying the streets, the town, and the houses.
KWAAAAAANG!
“Kyaaaak!”
“What is this!”
“Magic Tower Head-nim! Find the Magic Tower Head-nim!”
People were moving around in confusion.
The commander of the Imperial Knights, who had come to deliver the imperial decree, also seemed quite flustered, as if he hadn’t expected the White Magic Tower Head to come out like this.
“Stop it right now! White Magic Tower Head!”
“Hey.”
Yeon Taeseon, who had smoothly gone up to the front of the knight commander, grabbed him by the collar.
In a world where strength is power, all knights had a knack for sizing up their opponents.
‘An immense powerhouse…!’
“Explain properly. What did the White Magic Tower Head do?”
“She was negligent and neglected her duties…”
“Mia!”
Even though a meteor shower was falling from the sky, the bold girl raised her hand and said.
“Installation of a continental teleportation! Announcement of a revolutionary theory in spatial magic! Thanks to that, the efficiency of spatial magic has doubled! Many magics that were only dreamed of have become a reality! The creation of automobiles and the major improvement of communication artifacts! When there was a drought, she made it rain, and when there was a flood, she parted the waters!”
Thwack, Mia said, pointing her finger.
“All of this happened in just 3 months.”
Yeon Taeseon, even though he was the one who had asked her to list them, was silent for a moment, as if he was speechless at the enormous achievements.
“And you say she neglected her duties.”
“Border security is also a job that the Magic Tower Head has to do! There have been many local battles near here recently. So…!”
“There have been more local battles on the side of the Blue Magic Tower.”
By this point, Mia was proving with her own hands that she was no ordinary child.
“So it’s a forced argument. Next.”
“Hey!”
The first disciple and vice-tower head, Lilac, approached in a fluster.
“Who are you to interfere with the exercise of imperial power…!”
“Just pick one. Do you want to save the Magic Tower Head? Or do you want to throw her in prison?”
“What a rude…!”
“To be arguing about rudeness when a meteor shower is falling from the sky, I can see your character.”
KWAAAAAANG!
A meteor shower fell right nearby.
The meteor shower, which created a crater with a sizzling sound, soon evaporated and disappeared.
It was a characteristic of a magical attack.
“Knight. Answer me. What’s next?”
“The hero candidate who was supposed to slay the Demon King, ‘Tilted Nebula’…”
“Is dead?”
Yeon Taeseon’s blue eyes flared for a moment.
A rare anger flowed from Yeon Taeseon, who had grabbed the knight by the collar and lifted him up.
“To try to kill a living hero for a dead candidate. It is a lamentable thing that such a Constellation has emerged from such a foolish country.”
He threw the knight away.
The knight, who had fallen ungracefully to the floor, could only shout loudly and could not draw his sword.
The title of a Constellation is determined by the greatest achievement of their life.
The title of the Silent Calamity was a straightforward one.
To guess the reason why such a title was attached…
She must have caused a calamity and remained silent.
She must have caused a calamity by remaining silent.
Yeon Taeseon judged that the former would be impossible, given her temperament that he had seen so far.
So it meant that something had happened because she had remained silent and was executed.
This scenery right now must just be a tantrum.
But a fundamental question arises here.
‘Does she really want that?’
Is Lee Seonbaek really raining down a meteor shower because she wants to?
Yeon Taeseon judged that it was not.
He was aware of an unpleasant touch reaching the connection with the Constellation.
There was some strange intervention in this scene.
“I’ll have to hope that that fanatic persuades her well.”

Han Sion stepped on the fragments of the meteor shower and rose into the sky.
Towards his Constellation, who looked like a star from a distance.
“Con…!”
He reached out his hand, saying ‘Constellation-nim’.
The moment his beautiful Constellation recognized it.
The Tower of Babel, built upside down, was reflected in the sky.
It was the owner of the unpleasant touch that was messing with his contract with the Constellation.
