Loser's redo: Transmigration in a novel

The knights from both the first and second continent started advancing.

The mages and priests stood their positions and looked towards the knights with a solemn expression.

Looking in the front, Zick could see the enemy's army advancing rapidly. His heart started beating faster than ever before and the ominous feeling rose from deep within him.

'This again.....'

Though he would have followed what this feeling told him normally, but right now he was in the middle of the battlefield. He ignored that ominous feeling and brought his concentration upon the enemy.

Zick took out the sword from the scabbard hanging on his hip and started running a little faster.

All the knights beside Zick Increased their speed as they were nearing the enemy army. The army slowly started dispersing to make some distance from each other.

"haaaaaaa..."

Zick breathed out loudly through his mouth and dashed forward, not holding back anymore.

Everyone in the battlefield was a knight, with their speed they reached the middle of the battlefield in no time.

Circulating mana in his sword, Zick used mana harmonisation technique without hesitation.

His speed increased momentarily and reached in front of an enemy knight. He had chosen this knight as he had sensed that this knight was in the same rank as him.

Swinging his sword at the Knight's neck, Zick got a bad feeling in his heart, but he still didn't stop his action.

He cut off the enemy knight's head easily with the element of surprise but there was still some resistance. The enemy knight had used mana to cover his neck to stop Zick's attack, but he was still a step late.

SPLASH~

The blood started flowing out of the knight's headless body like a fountain, it tilted and fell after a second almost like a puppet whose strings had been cut.

Zick tried rushing towards the other enemy knight in the distance but his body froze for some reason.

The knight that he had killed laid on the ground with blood flowing out of its neck profusely. But that isn't the thing which froze Zick, the blood which stained the barren ground in red entered Zick's sight.

"Huh....."

A voice left his mouth without him noticing, his face became blank and his surroundings blurred in his eyes. The image of the day he had seen the dead body of the bully in his past life passed through his head.

"hahahaha...hahahaha!!"

Zick's voice was enhanced by the mana as he started laughing loudly, his blank face turned into a crazed expression. A big creepy smile appeared in his face with his eyes glowing in a darker red colour.

Everyone's attention was brought upon Zick as he laughed like a maniac.

"Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"

Not bothered by their attention at all, Zick ran towards the enemy knights with his sword covered in mana.

The knight responded easily to Zick's attack as his attention had been on him for a while. He easily blocked Zick's sword and tried to throw a kick at his stomach.

That was When Zick's mana started changing, he broke through and became a high rank knight at once. But that wasn't the end, His mana started turning black.

The black mana offset the mana in the enemy's sword easily.

"What..."

Before the knight could finish the word his head was cut cleanly with Zick's sword. He had cut the Knight's sword in half along with the neck.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Not stopping after that, Zick went on massacre and kept killing all the knights in front of him. With the weird black mana his strength increased with no leap and bound.

While killing the knights, images kept going through his head.

The moment when he was in elementary school, where his communication skills were low.

The moment when he tried making friends in middle school, where he was ignored by the other classmates.

The moment when the bully made his life worse.

The moment when he was accused of doing a murder.

The moment his personality had broken in the prison.

The moment he felt unfair when he died from his disease.

And right now, being forced to fight in the war stacking his life on the line.

"Hahahahahaha!"

The knights from the first continent retreated seeing Zick going berserk in the battlefield.

"Retreat!"

Zick....no Noah from the past life knew from a long time ago, if he had tried taking revenge against the bully he would have lost himself. That is the reason he locked himself in a room living as a SHUT-IN.

His broken personality had only gotten worse staying in the prison.

After coming to this world, he had started making rational decisions as he thought that was the best way in not making any mistake like in his past life. But it still didn't work out.

There was only one word in his head right now.

Why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, why, whywhywhywhy.

"Why!!?"

Zick kept killing all the knights with the same creepy smile on his face. He would try to kill them off by any means possible, cutting them in two, cutting their necks off, cutting their limbs.....

"No.... stop....please stop..."

A knight with his right hand missing begged Zick to stop but the next moment a red line appeared in his neck, then his head fell to the ground.

Without stopping Zick killed every last knight which entered his sight.

"Run!! everyone retreat!!"

Even while they were retreating Zick never stopped and ran at speed which was impossible for someone in the high rank.

After killing another 10 knights, Zick fell on his knees, He had run out of mana.

"haaaa.....haaaa....haaaa...."

With ragged breathing, Zick looked at his surroundings, the whole place was covered in blood, even he himself was totally covered in blood from head to toes.

'Ah.....I blew it...'

Zick clearly remembers what he did just a while ago. There was another thing which came to his mind.

It was the cat mythical beast and the prophecy, it had told to him-

["....when blood flows from a dead body....the monster shall awaken.....within....alas something broken is broken in the end..."]

Zick had just misunderstood the prophecy talking about something else as it mentioned monster.

'So it was referring to me as a monster....? haha...'

Zick couldn't move even a muscle as he was out of both mana and stamina. He had used the black mana as a means to move his body when he had run out of stamina before while going berserk.

'Even after trying so hard by only making rational decisions....in the end....I am still a loser'

Yes, in the end, he was still a loser.

**************

Ghreese had witnessed all the things Zick did on the battlefield and there was only one word in his head after seeing what had happened.

'No way....'

Zick had given a characteristic to his mana which is only possible when a person becomes a peak rank knight. He had done something which was considered as impossible by the whole world.

Ghreese even found the black mana as something weird, it gave rise to ominous feelings in everyone who saw it.

'Is it even something that a human should have...?'
