The Author's POV

Chapter 225

"So this is the Leviathan building time regressive machine?"

I muttered as I looked ahead of me. Right before me stood a large metallic capsule. By its side were thick wires that stretched and connected to the side of the walls.

[Option 1]

[Option 2]

===

On the panel by the side of the machine, I was presented with two options.

Without hesitation, I pressed on the first option

The difference between option one and two was the time, with option one lasting one hour and option two lasting five.

Still not used to the machine, I chose option 1.

One hour was about one day inside of the time regressive machine, so it was plenty enough.

Didn't want to overwork my brain.

—Shuuua!

Moments after pressing on the first option, the pod slowly opened up. Steam rose in the air.

'Here goes nothing'

—Shuuua!

Just as I was about to enter my capsule, the capsule next to me opened up.

Emerging from the capsule was Jin.

"Hm?"

Stepping out of the capsule, Jin looked at me and our eyes met.

For a short period of time, neither one of us spoke.

After a while, I was the first one to break the silence as an awkward greeting escaped from my mouth.

"Sup?"

"..."

Jin did not answer me. He just coldly looked at me.

'Well, this is kind of awkward...'

Being stared at by Jin, I wasn't sure what to do. After a while, I shrugged my shoulders and proceeded to look at the panel on the time-regressor machine.

'Since you're not going to talk I'm just gonna do my thing...'

Sorting out a few things, I put my foot in the capsule.

"You better not fall behind me..."

Moments before I entered the capsule, Jin finally opened his mouth. As his cold words echoed across the room, my brow raised.

"Oh?"

'Interesting...'

"Fall behind you? Me? You wish"

Smirking, I looked Jin straight into the eyes.

'So you're challenging me?'

To think that the cold prince was openly challenging me like this.

Normally I would've avoided such a challenge, however, I was starting to become curious.

'Just how much did you improve whilst I wasn't looking?'

Staring at Jin who was incomparably different compared to how he was in the novel, I wanted to know.

Just how different was the current Jin from the past Jin?

"Now's not the time"

Staring at me for a couple of seconds, Jin shook his head.

Putting his hands in his pockets, he turned around. My brows knit as a result.

"Then when is the time?"

"You'll know eventually..."

Just before he left the room, Jin muttered in a voice audible enough for me to hear. He soon left the room.
