It was strange. The system was clearly damaged, unable to give any response no matter how he asked, and it hadn't even given a notification when entering the dungeon. But it could still give notifications when Zeyan's strength increased. What was going on?
Zeyan shook his head without thinking too much about it. He sheathed his sword, took off the leather armor he was wearing, lay down on the bed, and prepared to sleep.
"Tomorrow, it seems I can see Ayaka in Ritou. Perhaps I'll only know what this dungeon is about after seeing Ayaka?"
Thinking this, Zeyan drifted into dreamland.
...
"We can return to Ritou tomorrow. I heard that Miss Kamisato of the Yashiro Commission will also be in Ritou at that time. We can catch a glimpse of the elegant figure of the Shirasagi Himegimi."
A familiar voice entered his ears.
A new day had arrived. Zeyan blinked his eyes and propped himself up.
"Ouch? What's going on?"
Zeyan looked down at the leather armor he was wearing, a look of bewilderment on his face.
If he remembered correctly, he had taken off his clothes before going to sleep last night, right? Why was this set of leather armor back on his body?
What exactly was going on?
Zeyan tilted his head in confusion, not understanding.
He looked at the porthole. The bright sunlight shone down, and the sea outside was turbulent.
"Just now, did I hear something familiar?"
Zeyan sat on the bed, patted his head, and thought carefully, but because he was still quite groggy from sleep, he couldn't figure out the situation clearly.
He decided to go out and see what was happening.
Zeyan pushed open the cabin door and walked onto the deck.
The boundless sea looked particularly turbulent, and the salty, damp sea breeze blew against his face, making his hair fly wildly.
Bathing in the sunlight and sea breeze, Zeyan walked around the deck, his expression becoming increasingly strange.
What exactly was going on?
He found that in many places, he heard words and saw behaviors that felt extremely familiar, as if they were things that had happened in the past but were appearing before his eyes again.
"This is... dejavu?"
Zeyan quickly judged the situation.
He knew he had returned to yesterday, to the day he had just entered the dungeon, which was why he had strangely woken up wearing leather armor.
Time reversal?
Was that the problem with this dungeon?
Zeyan pondered, not panicking because of the situation, but slowly returning to the cabin.
He drew the silver sword and tried using Kamisato Art: Suiyuu, a smile immediately appearing on his face.
"It's still level 4, it didn't regress because of the time reversal. In that case, isn't time reversal a good thing for me? If this time loop situation can continue, then I can cultivate endlessly."
With a look of delight, Zeyan immediately immersed himself in practicing Kamisato Art: Suiyuu.
...
Walking on the deck, Yoimiya was a bit puzzled.
Why was everything she saw the same as yesterday? Or was she just confused from sleep and having hallucinations?
This situation made Yoimiya feel inexplicably uneasy, especially since the people she interacted with next made movements and said words that felt very familiar to her. They were clearly the actions and words she had seen yesterday.
"Did I go back to yesterday? How could such an unbelievable thing happen? Although this seems quite fun, upon closer thought, why would such a thing occur?"
Yoimiya felt a strong sense of curiosity and wanted to figure out what was going on.
Yoimiya then began to investigate the situation according to her own ideas, walking back and forth on the passenger ship. Because she had already done things completely differently from yesterday, it had correspondingly caused some butterfly effects. Under these circumstances, she didn't encounter Zeyan coming to talk to her again, which Yoimiya didn't mind.
She walked all over the passenger ship, but found nothing, feeling a bit disappointed for a moment.
"Just blindly searching doesn't seem useful. I should change my approach. Let me think, what exactly should I do?"
Yoimiya began to ponder.
...
Night fell once again.
Zeyan stood by the bed, looking at the silver sword in his hand, his brow furrowed slightly, feeling that the situation was different from what he had imagined.
He had thought he could gain an extra day to re-train his abilities, but the reality was completely different. After a day of training, he hadn't felt the slightest improvement. Not only had his ability level not increased, but he hadn't even noticed that feeling of comprehending something.
He knew that during normal training, even if his ability wasn't about to level up, he would still have a feeling of understanding something in the process. But that feeling hadn't appeared today.
"As expected, there are no loopholes to exploit. It seems I can't use the extra days gained from time reversal to train my abilities. If that's the case, then what I need to do is find a way to restore the reversed time."
Zeyan knew what he had to do.
Today was the first time the time had returned to the first day, which could also be called the second playthrough. Although it was only the second playthrough, based on his own judgment, Zeyan felt that there would be a third and even a fourth playthrough. What he had to do was break this cycle of time and get time back on track.
But how could he do that?
Zeyan sat on the bed in confusion and began to think. Because it was already late today, he knew he wouldn't gain anything today and had already placed his hopes on tomorrow.
What he was thinking about now was what he should do tomorrow.
The others wouldn't retain the memories from before the time reversal, but he could. If he thought about what to do in advance, he could carry things out better tomorrow.
But after thinking for a long time, Zeyan felt that he knew too little information, making it difficult to think ahead. In that case, he should start contacting the people on the ship one by one tomorrow to understand the situation of the passengers.
Zeyan had a feeling that the key to breaking the time loop lay with the crew members. Otherwise, why would so many crew members from different places be arranged on this ship?
After understanding this, Zeyan relaxed and yawned.
He was a bit sleepy, but he didn't plan to fall asleep today. He intended to stay awake and see how the time loop unfolded. So, he poured himself a glass of cold water and sat by the bed, waiting, and would drink a glass of cold water to refresh himself when he felt tired.
The time grew deeper, beginning to point towards dawn.
