This Time, To The Believed Path
Missing Pieces

After being killed on the battlefield, Leana finds herself reincarnated in the modern world as Riana. He carries memories from his first life and has trouble adapting to a world far different from before.

At the age of 7 years, he accepted his new life and lived it like a normal person in general.

At the age of 22, he found a novel.

He does not remember how the book fell into his hands but when he opened it, he seemed to be faced again by his past.

The book does not tell a novel story in general but tells a biography of the life of a person who came from his first life.

In it is not only written something that he already knows but also there are things that have never been known before.

The book tells the story of three people who became points in his first life.

He remembers feeling frustrated and depressed after reading it. Not long after his consciousness was cut off by the arrival of light from the sky.

To the end, Leana never knew what the book was.

"Books. novels…"

The tone Leana gave off was full of vibrations. He felt a void in his memory if he tied the book.

Something seemed to be cut off in his memory at that moment.

"You found a book, which you thought was a novel. Inside is a story about someone from your first life."

Leana's hand slowly turned cold. Every word Telsia put out made her even more anxious.

"But you should have realized by now, that the book was no ordinary book."

Don't-don't...

"The book is Crocelia."

DEG

Instantly Leana felt the time around her stalled. He could not hear anything but the voice of Telsia coming to him.

"The plea made by me in the previous world was to give you a chance to save this world."

The eyes of the two meet. The gold that emits melancholy and violet violet that radiates anxiety.

Leana clenched her hands. Resisting his slowly shaken feelings.

"But to bring you back from another world requires great strength, therefore a provision must be fulfilled by yourself."

Leana doesn't remember ever doing anything special in the modern world. The only strange thing in Riana's life is the novel, Crocelia, which she finds.

“There are two conditions that must be met. The first is to regain the determination to live life and the second is the desire to repeat your life.”

Leana's surprised.

It's the same as…

“...I made a request?”

“True.” Telsia nodded.

Leana felt suffocated. Feelings other than anxiety began to grow in his mind. He's starting to get upset.

Does that mean that from the beginning he was already moving under Crocelia's destiny?

Telsia continued.

“After you've successfully reassembled your life's resolve, Crocelia uses the rest of her strength to guide you. He reappears before you and tells you what you need to know.”

Crocelia, whom she considers a novel, leads Riana back by showing what she needs to know as Leana.

Riana does feel guilty and hopes that if she is given the opportunity as Leana again, she wants to change her bad luck.

Does Crocelia take advantage of her feelings in order to return as Leana?

“...But I... not really..”.

Leana didn't really expect to come back. He only thinks about possibilities. But he did not think that little hope would be granted by Crocelia.

No. gabe. From the beginning he did not know the origin of the book he found.

“Are you unwilling to make a change to this world?’”

“Do I have a choice now?!” Leana Seru. Unknowingly has given up its formality.

Telsia remained silent.

This time Leana was angry. He always felt like the world was playing tricks on him, but it was so selfish that he could not hold back his feelings any longer.

“This miracle-like occurrence...which not everyone usually gets..”.

He took a slow breath to calm himself. He wanted to convey all the feelings in his mind - not a single word that he could find suitable.

“I know all this has its own meaning, how my life goes, how I can be sent to another world.

His head was mixed as if it had become heavy and he was unable to face Telsia properly.

“..Want to see when..”

With teary eyes, Leana looked at Telsia as if asking for help.

“You until when I have to keep convincing myself that everything will be fine as my own life continues to oscillate?!”

Telsia closed her eyes. A wrinkle formed between his two eyebrows. His expression was like showing regret.

“I get a failure, get back up, accept the mistake and try to build something new...Just to repeat the same mistake and take it off..How should I convince myself in such a condition? Are you going to say that two lives is not enough for me to learn from the mistakes?! Tell me, Telsia! What--”

Leana took a breath holding her stuffing. The sudden arrest made his chest hurt.

"What am I supposed to do?"

Along with the weak words that came out of her mouth, Leana covered her face with both hands as if she was already very fed up with everything.

Is Leana as naive as it should experience endless trials. He is just a normal human being who can feel tired.

At one point he wanted to end it all.

No. gabe. Maybe Leana in her first life had done it from the beginning. He who loses the warmth of his own family can only look out the window. Feeling jealous of the blue sky that he cannot reach.

Even in his failure he tried to grab the glimmer of hope that appeared before him.

Is he not allowed to hope for a better life?

If the world does want to end itself, at least do it quickly because Leana does not plan to prolong her suffering any longer.

Seeing Leana struggling to pull her emotions, Telsia raised her hand.

With that outstretch of his hand, his expression remained flat as usual. His golden eyes were still looking straight at him.

“Give me your hand.”

Leana turned towards Telsia. He looked up at his hand. With doubt and confusion, Leana gave her hand.

As Telsia's hands gently grasped them, a yellow-colored symbol appeared above both of their hands. Something warm flowed in his body, calming his feelings to the point of crushing his mixed feelings.

He felt a little more relieved.

When the symbol disappeared, Telsia released her hand. Leana found a thinly engraved symbol on the back of her hand before finally disappearing.

“In this way, the contract has been formed.”

Leana looked at Telsia with a blank mind. He was still unable to digest what had just happened.

Telsia tilted her head slightly seeing Leana's reaction.

“What's up? Isn't this what you wanted?”

“Ah. yes...”

Leana looked back at her hand for a moment. As he looked back at Telsia, he felt astonished at her.

Did Telsia before him make a contract with Leana because he agreed with Telsia in his old life?

Leana looked at Telsia full of question marks.

“Because you have made a contract with me, you can have some of the power I have.”

Leana slowly widened her eyes.

“Not a small part, but a part?”

“Before you could only observe the movement and timing of the appearance of the labyrinth, but with the second contract that has been tied to me, you can use a power greater than before" Telsia said.

“Greater power?”

“You can call me.”

Leana was silent and blinked a few times. What did he just hear?

“And depending on your request, I might be able to help you directly.”

Leana looked at Telsia in disbelief. Telsia who always did not want to intervene and decided to observe now finally decided to help?!

“Why..”.

“For a labyrinth guard, actions other than the will of the labyrinth are not things to do. But Crocelia, who is part of the labyrinth, granted my request and helped you change the destiny of the world. If it is the will of the labyrinth then there is no harm if I intervene.” Telsia.

As Telsia is the guardian of the sibir labyrinth, she has the power to stop the labyrinth from opening the portal. Leana therefore considers it the key to her grand plan.

“If you don't mind, I'll use it as I need."

"Of course if I agree. So give me enough reason to convince me."

Telsia raised her hand towards the entrance and the door opened.

"It seems we've taken enough time. It'd be better if you came back soon."

Telsia's golden eyeballs looked back at Leana.

"Just as I have power but can't do anything, you can move freely but have no power, we will work together to complement each other."

Telsia pointed her hand at Leana and instantly her body lifted up and moved towards the door.

The surprised Leana tried to reach towards Telsia but the door before her slowly closed and she sank further into another dimension.

"You don't have to shoulder everything alone because you too are a victim of the selfishness of the destiny of the world."

Telsia's voice was the only one with her until she opened her eyes again somewhere else.

***

"..he..."

"no.na..."

"Mrs LEANA!"

"Huh!!"

Leana opened her eyes and found a worried expression of Alphiella's shadow before her.

Other than the five shadows he carried, he saw another familiar figure.

"Dean..."

Dean tightened his teeth. He raised his hand high and then swung it quickly at Leana.

"BASIC FOOL!!"

"Uaegh!!"

Rounding her body on the floor, Leana grimaced holding her head. Dean's expression right now is more sinister than they've ever seen. Even a demonic figure could have appeared behind him.

As the throbbing on Leana's head subsided, she turned her head with tears on the side of her eyes.

"Why did you hit me?!"

"I should have asked! What have you been doing all this time?!"

"What??"

Leana confirmed her position and sat down facing Dean.

"As planned, I came here to meet with the magic labyrinth guards and form a contract with him!"

"At least tell us first! Don't you see the shadow of Alphiella worried half-dead looking for you?!"

"That's... I'm sorry but I didn't know that I would be teleported like that either! Anyway I just disappeared for a few hours!"

"TWO WEEKS!"

Leana's stunned. His eyes widened in disbelief.

"What...?"

"You disappeared for two weeks here! Do you know how panicked I was when I found out you hadn't come back even after a week of your departure?!"

Leana's speechless. He thought of the words Dean had spoken to him.

"Two... Sunday..?"

"Yes, stupid."

'Stop calling me stupid!' Leana squinted her eyes annoyed at Dean.

"Today...?"

"Today is exactly two weeks since you left Alphiella."

Leana widened her eyes.

"YESY?!"

Two sundays. Today is the day of the return of Forde, her husband. Today he should have gone back to Grandall.

Leana immediately got up and ran towards the exit that had been marked by Telsia. He barely heeded the exclamations from Dean and the shadow of Alphiella.

When Dean caught up with him, he shouted beside him.

"Don't just run! We don't know the way out-"

"I know! Give me your hand!"

While running, Leana pulled Dean's hand and the symbol in her hand glowed again.

Dean who felt something from his hand turned to the street before him and found a sign heading for the exit.

"Ughh! Fuck up!"

Holding back his sense of regret, Dean ran in front of Leana to guard her.

After running for at least half an hour, they finally found the exit not far in front of them.

'Finally! I must hurry up!"

Instantly Leana widened her eyes. He found something coming towards Dean from his right side.

Leana used a shadow technique to speed up her movements and managed to pull Dean away from something that was attacking her.

As the two fell down, they turned their heads and saw a monster not far from them.

"NO NEED TO FIGHT THAT MONSTER! LET'S QUICKLY GET OUT OF THE LABYRINTH!" exclaiming Leana.

They also moved quickly out of the large labyrinth and when setting foot in the outer area, the monster was unable to follow them due to barrier magic.

Seeing this, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

"It looks like we're safe now. Before we go back, we'd better-"

Brugh

Dean turned his head quickly to Leana who had fallen to the floor. He turned pale when he saw a red liquid flowing out of his body.

"Mrs LEANA!!"

They exclaimed and quickly checked his condition. It seemed like the attack from the monster had hit Leana until the side of her body was torn quite large.

"Mrs Leana! Rein!! Hang on, Rein!!"

Without a second thought, Dean immediately picked up Leana.

"TELEPORT!"

In an instant, he was already in Leana's room and put his body on the bed. When another shadow came after him, he immediately gave the order.

"Prepare warm water and cloth! Call Alscan and the doctor right away! Tell the residents of Alphiella that no one is allowed to visit here no matter who he is! NOW!"

"Clearly done!"

When the shadow Alphiella goes to execute their orders, Dean quickly checks the wound on Leana's body.

The unconscious Leana breathed heavily and her body slowly paled and became cold.

As he gets water and cloth, Dean immediately cleans his employer's wound. He did not even pay attention to Alscan and Arcan who came to ask for an explanation.

He was too focused on Leana's safety.

'Please hold on, Rein! Don't you dare stop right here!'

At the same time, Forde had set foot in the Grandall residence with his troops. He could not wait to meet his wife again after so long.
