194 – I was possessed by a trash character.
[The fate of despair has disappeared.]
[The world will return to normal.]
Just two lines of message confirm that the entire situation is over.
The fate of despair became stardust and scattered in the air.
How many people have suffered?
The scattered stardust penetrated into the people around them and healed all their injuries.
When you catch a boss monster, all your stamina is restored.
The fate of despair was like being toyed with by the game system that he was controlling until the end.
[Congratulations.]
[You protected the world.]
The message continues.
That was something I guessed.
If I had fallen into this world as the fate of despair wanted, without anyone’s help.
It was obvious that I would not have been able to do anything properly and would have died repeatedly.
However, the plan made by the fate of despair went wrong from the beginning, and this meant that there was another helper who helped me.
“As expected, you were right to call me.”
[Yes, that’s right.]
Find it, ding dong deng.
The main skill and the god who called me here.
It was a guess, but God is probably right.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t even be able to face the fate of despair.
[That thought is also correct.]
[For a leisurely conversation, we will stop time except for you and me.]
[Oh, and you can feel free to call me Dingdongdang.]
Ding Dong Dang said that and instantly stopped time around him.
The same scene as the fate of despair.
It was such an incredible power that I had no choice but to believe it was God.
“The reason you called me is because I’m the most suitable, right?”
[I am truly sorry about that.]
[From the moment the fate of despair chose you, I had no choice.]
[Once again, I sincerely apologize.]
Ding Dong Dang suddenly appeared in front of me, took the form of a human, and bowed.
I was so embarrassed that God even bowed and apologized, so I stood up and ding-dong-dang.
“No, I guessed. And anyway, since I was marked by that guy, this would be the only way to protect me.”
[Yes, that’s right.]
The thing that connected Final Destiny with the world I originally lived in was the fate of despair.
And Ding Dong Dang tried to stop it, and from the very moment Despair Fate decided to make me a toy.
Ding Dong Dang first brought me to this world and made me build up the strength to fight him.
In a way, I could be seen as a toy for the gods and handling their work for them.
If you look at it differently, you could think that Ding Dong Dang did the best he could for me.
Of course, I was in the mood for the latter, so I didn’t have much resentment towards Dingdongdang.
If the Fate of Despair had gone its way, it would have become a toy that would scream as he wanted.
Perhaps that wasn’t enough, I could have resented all my memories and continued to live like an outcast even here.
I was grateful to Ding Dong Dang for being able to avoid that ending and become what I am now.
[Thank you so much for thinking that way.]
“Okay, anyway, it’s all over now, right?”
No matter how difficult the process was, it didn’t matter anymore because the final result was good.
The fate of despair will now intervene in my life, and I will be buried in the past and die.
None of that was going to happen, so I didn’t want to go into every detail.
Confirmation that the situation is really over.
That one was enough.
[Yes, everything is over.]
After saying that, Ding Dong Dang created a portal right next to him.
A huge light flashed, and when the light disappeared, the inside of the portal was visible.
[This is one of the greatest compensations I can offer.]
The world I knew.
Not Final Destiny, but the reality we originally lived in.
However, the background was slightly different from the previous one.
[You can go back to the time when you were happiest.]
[Or you can go back to when you were born and make everything right.]
[Memories are also intact, so you do not have to repeat the same past.]
[In the world you live in, such people are called regressors.]
No further explanation was needed.
I immediately understood what Ding Dong Dang was saying.
Before my parents die, or before Jihyun becomes drug addicted.
An opportunity to correct all of those things or not meet them at all.
The power to change the entire process from beginning to end and create completely different results.
I meant to give it to you.
[Looking at your expression, you don’t intend to do that.]
“Yes, that’s right.”
In the past, I might have gone right in without even thinking about it.
I would have thought that being able to start over from scratch was a huge opportunity and immediately changed everything to focus on me.
But I decided not to think about that anymore.
“Thank you to everyone who helped me grow to this point, so I don’t want to forget it.”
Even if I remember them, what does it mean if they don’t remember me?
If the past were changed, there were too many relationships that would never meet again, and all the years would be cut off.
I didn’t want that.
“The reason I’m alive like this in the first place is because of those people.”
There was no need to walk while looking behind.
The only thing that matters is the future story.
There was no guarantee that fixing the back would make the rest better.
Like a novel, the world doesn’t always have a happy ending the way you want it to.
That’s why I really liked the result I just created.
[There is also the option to just return.]
Ding Dong Dang looked at me while saying that.
The eyes seem to be asking if you have any regrets about this choice.
I smiled and nodded.
“I am Seokhyun Lee.”
[I understand.]
[Then I will give you a blessing instead.]
[Please do not refuse this.]
Actually, I was planning to ask for this without even saying it.
I was destined for despair, but it would be a shame if it didn’t even reach that level.
[It really feels like a game.]
Because it was a game to me.
[Not anymore?]
I glanced around at Dingdongdang’s words.
Instead of answering, I shrugged my shoulders and smiled brightly.
Ding Dong Dang also laughed along.
We looked at each other and laughed, and that was enough of an answer.
++++++++++++++
It’s been a week since the fate of despair disappeared and the world returned to normal.
The world moved as if nothing had happened.
In fact, the space where Fate of Despair was active was behind the stage.
He was neither an actor nor an audience member, but a stage setter.
The standard of blackness that allows things to proceed without anyone knowing.
Because of this, the disappearance of the fate of despair did not mean that the demons disappeared.
It’s just that the world is no longer manipulated by someone’s will.
Therefore, even though we experienced that incident, we were not revered as warriors.
It was something that no one knew about, but it had to be done.
We just did that.
“…I saved the world, but I couldn’t avoid repeating my grade.”
Maybe that’s why the price of being away for four months came back heavily.
Repeating a grade while other kids are going up.
From Noble mtl dot com
If I didn’t aim for early graduation, my graduation year was destined to be different from that of my classmates.
Fortunately, my grades were so excellent that I was given the ambiguous status of repeating a grade.
The grade was the same, but the classes were from the second year, which was just a formality penalty.
“How long has it been since I went to school?”
Instead of staying at the academy for a week, I focused more on explaining my situation to people around me.
I can’t tell you everything, but I feel like I’ve been reincarnated, starting with why I haven’t come out of my room for a while.
I roughly explained what had happened to me and systematically organized Dongdaemun’s business.
Receiving investment in a mine detector, planning a business, and delegating a certain amount of management rights to Melia.
Rather than trying to do something short-term, I made a plan to live long-term.
From now on, this was the world I would live in, so the more thorough the preparation, the better.
In the process of preparing, I realized that there were things I had not been able to properly deal with.
“Seokhyun, you need to come out quickly and have your first day at school together today.”
“Seokhyun, I’m here to meet you. If you run away, I’m really going to hit you.”
“You! I personally transferred from Velutos to Mirinae because of you. Does it make sense for you to leave me alone like this? For a week?!”
“Let’s go visit the North together soon. The North holds a couple’s event at the end of winter, so it would be nice to have our engagement ceremony there.”
Spring, summer, fall, winter.
The gathering of all four seasons was not something I could prepare for.
In fact, because of this, the amount of work that could have been completed in two days has increased significantly.
This is because from the moment I became conscious of it, I couldn’t even figure out how to respond.
Things that I had ignored until now because I didn’t look like a woman tickle my heart.
It was so severe that my legs almost lost their strength.
Bang!
Is it because of the sin of not opening the door even though you know it is inside?
My visit was completely destroyed.
“My dear, it is not polite to keep your lady waiting.”
I didn’t know that even the teacher would do this.
After Akasa found out that I was stronger than him, he constantly asked me to spar.
“Boss, the secretary is having a hard time managing the business. Would it be okay if I massaged her thighs?”
Melaia suddenly jumps out of the bed and wraps her thighs around mine.
If you were happy, you were happy. If you were a disaster, it was a disaster.
Of course, I had prepared my strong allies for this moment.
“Seokhyun! You’re so popular! When you’re done, let’s spar bareback with me!”
“Even though he is a commoner, his actions are no different from that of an emperor.”
One of them was not my ally, he was crazy about sparring.
The other was a nobleman who was happily eating popcorn while watching the situation.
It is a situation that can no longer be reversed since it was not an ally.
First, I showed off the strongest special move I could prepare.
“Shall we eat Mirinae’s deluxe special burger first and then talk?”
The room suddenly became silent at my single word.
A few seconds later, everyone blushed and shouted as if they had made a promise.
“”No more modifications like that!””
Clink!
As soon as I heard that, I broke the window and ran away.
This is all I can do right now.
If it were like before, I would have been able to deal with it skillfully.
Anyway, this is why love was the problem.
‘No, maybe the problem is that it’s Lee Seok-hyun.’
I was possessed by a trash character.
This fact alone explains everything.
Still, I couldn’t stop laughing.
I’m going to move forward now.
Long, long, happily ever after.
