I Became a Young King Who Grants Buffs

I died from not being able to endure the penalty of a mythical-grade skill, and then regressed to age four.

[The system has stored Harmonia Je Elorang’s ‘Unstoppable Misfortune.’]

[Your bound skill, ‘Harmonia’s Necklace,’ has been itemized.]

A clear message, then my reflection in the mirror.

[Quest issued!]

[Unlock the mythical-grade skill ‘Harmonia’s Necklace’! (Time remaining: ???)]

And so my second life began anew.

I kept remembering and remembering the people who died trying to protect me! Their screams and pain!

While I was vowing revenge on the Lexio Empire and searching desperately to unlock the mythical-grade skill, a clue to the hidden dungeon I had been seeking floated above the crown of a nameless child.

Guardian of the hidden dungeon, Rujel Tritan. That child became my first knight.

"Why am I yours?"

Rujel muttered with the corners of his mouth twitching, his face sharp and cute like a cat begging for snacks.

"If you didn’t understand, should I say it again?"

"Yeah... I guess so..."

"Rujel, you’re mine."

"Yeah... but say that again from earlier."

"You were my first, and you are my first."

"Yeah..."

But when did the once-cute Rujel grow this much?

"Sorry. I heard jealousy makes people ugly, so I tried not to be jealous, but everyone likes you. I want to be the prettiest in your eyes."

And then there was a new mythical-grade being that I never met before the regression.

"Your Majesty doesn’t understand romance. It’s because I want to do this for you."

And even a mythical-grade being who once killed me now risks his life to protect me.

"Fix that habit of throwing away your life so easily right now! If it’s something not worth giving up for, then give it to me instead! From now on, think of your life as mine and protect it!"

"I wasn’t trying to die... it’s a misunderstanding. I still want to live... Please don’t be disappointed in me."

But the system again dealt me a cruel penalty.

Failure penalty: destruction of the dimension

Can I protect everyone?
