196 – Him (2)
“Wow…Why are you using this like this?”
“Oh, that’s right. Isn’t it obvious?”
“…Ah?”
“Iced Americano.”
“No, that’s a shortening of everything… Why on earth are you drinking this? These days, young people say, ‘Just drink this!’”
“You bastard don’t even know the word for falling behind, huh?”
Choi Si-woo and a man whose dentures are chattering and who smells strongly of old man.
The friendly atmosphere of eating, playing, swearing, etc. Continues for a while.
Of course, it didn’t last long.
“…So…Let me know soon.”
Choi Si-woo glanced at the man.
“…What happened before and after…Why did you summon me?”
“But there’s something I need to check before that, right?”
“Yes, first of all… Am I safe?”
“Oh, we’re working hard to restore it now. Exactly 3 days later, as shown in the status window. And the place will probably be revived by the church.”
“That’s a good thing. I was wondering what would happen if the demon god resurrected in the place where he left it…”
Choi Si-woo, who was answering, soon scratched his chin with a serious expression.
“…Write. Before that…What if I hold a funeral…I don’t have a body to resurrect, do I?”
“It’s not unreasonable to be worried since he couldn’t speak due to the restrictions. Don’t worry, Irelua, he would have handled it brilliantly.”
“…You’re quite trusting, aren’t you?”
“Then she’s someone’s daughter. And you look trustworthy, don’t you think?”
“That’s right.”
Irelua, Russel, and even Leia.
Obviously, the three great gods were humane enough to completely destroy the idea that gods are arrogant.
‘… Just like this man in front of me.’
No, it’s the opposite.
Is the man called father such a human being? Are your children also affected?
Rather, I thought this was the correct answer.
“Okay, now let me explain-“
“-Oh, one more thing.”
“Shekki…Is trying to talk…What is it?”
“Uh, this is a strange question…But why did you show up?”
“…Huh?”
The man looked at me dumbfounded, as if wondering what that meant.
“What kind of nonsense is that all of a sudden?”
“…I thought you wouldn’t show up. Until the end.”
“Why did you think that?”
Well, isn’t it natural?
“It’s a national rule that transcendentalists and commentators like you don’t appear.”
This world is a novel.
At first, I was possessed.
Then he died.
After that, we often forget because the world even went back to its original state.
In the end, the essence does not change.
“…Why he returned, was reincarnated, was possessed… It only happens in the beginning. There are only a few novels that explain and explain this in detail… That I remember.”
At least it is briefly told as a side story after it is completed.
Most people just overlook this.
The man nodded as if he understood what I said.
“That’s right. That’s the trend these days. Do it first and then ignore the rest. Actually, it’s a bad thing for a writer.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Uh, hoebinghwan is like a dog or a cow, isn’t it? At least in novels, right? Anyway, what readers are curious about is not why the main character got hit by hoebinghwan. How much of a brat this guy is, hanging out with female characters, and showing off his acting skills. It’s important to gain knowledge and get a true education. Things like the truth and the backstory…What’s the point?”
“…Then why-“
“-Because you are not a reader.”
“…Yes?”
“Because you are the main character.”
I think it’s my first time.
The playfulness in the man’s eyes had completely disappeared.
A look of guilt appears on his face.
“…Because you are a victim that I brought into this world. I thought you should know even if other people didn’t. And…I also thought that no matter what happened, I had to apologize in front of you.”
“……”
“Sometimes, when you read other novels, people criticize him or take it for granted that he is in the position of absolute authority… But that shouldn’t be the case.”
If you did something wrong, you should apologize.
Even if there is some kind of story behind it.
Even if it means you can’t be forgiven.
At the very least, we must bow our heads to the victims.
“I am your life. I made you waste more than 80 years. It was not just ordinary time, but a painful life of grabbing all kinds of monsters.”
I also had the experience of losing my precious children.
Although it was not intentional.
“…So actually, when I first got beaten up, I was prepared to be annihilated by you. If you had wrapped the Around your fist, I would have just died.”
“…Oh.”
“…? What? Why are you surprised?”
“No, I’m surprised. To be honest, I didn’t even expect to hear an apology.”
“Well, if I had been a complete lord with this much power and authority from the beginning… I might have been like that.”
“…About that part.”
“I guess you noticed it too?”
I looked at the grinning man and nodded at her.
From the first time I heard his name, I thought, ‘No way…’ ?’ Because that’s what I did.
“Yes, that’s right. To conclude…I’m a human too.”
Like you, he is a transference summoned from another dimension.
“In other words, he is your senior.”
* * *
The man continued to explain the important parts in a concise manner and in detail.
Listen to the story without saying a word.
He explained.
He was also from Korea, and was chosen by the original main deity, that is, Sentai, and was forcibly summoned to this world.
“I, like you, was next to a hero… Well, I was actually a powerful person.”
“About that part…In that case, wouldn’t it be enough to just make the summoned guy a hero?”
“That’s not possible. It’s not the will of the Lord, it’s the law of another dimension. Actually…You also vaguely felt it while watching Hero Erina, didn’t you? It’s a bit strange.”
A silent agreement was sent.
Obviously, according to the law, only a hero can deal the final blow to a demon lord or demon god… Strangely enough, I also had a decision-making power that was comparable to that of a warrior.
And the most important thing is this…
“Aren’t you weak?”
“…Yes.”
To put it objectively, Erina is mediocre.
Of course, it is strong.
There are only a few beings with that level of power, even if you look at powerful beings like dragons as well as humans.
‘But compared to the Erina I saw in the novel, she is very weak.’
This is the part that puzzles me the most.
The main character of the , The warrior Erina, is literally a real munchkin.
Even , Which was so hard-fought, astonished, and fearful, was nothing more than a villain who was passed over as ‘cut to death’ on one page by the standards of the original work.
Later, even the Demon God had a bit of a hard time, but it was Erina from the original who easily defeated her.
But the Erina of this world has never shown such inaction at any moment, whether in her past life or her current life.
“That’s because I didn’t give the hero any power.”
“…Yes?”
The man said.
According to the original rule, instead of summoning me, I should have given Erina the potential for all power and authority.
Otherwise, it’s half a penny.
‘…… ‘Half a penny?’
Half a penny… Half a penny?
In a moment, a memory passes through my mind.
The time when I saw Erina’s past with the power of Irelua.
A word uttered by the Demon God’s That encountered Erina from her previous life.
―I came in person because I wanted to know what to do since so many people didn’t come. Is this really what it means to be a hero? Actually, it was half a penny from the beginning.
–
“…The reason the Demon God said that…”
“The black power you possess.”
.
“The power of immortality that ignores the laws of any divine existence and destroys them. That is the power that Erina should have in the first place.”
That is why, no matter how hard Erina tried, she could not become as strong as in the .
Because the power given and the potential for growth were limited in the first place.
“…Why are you doing such a troublesome thing?”
“… Because Erina doesn’t deserve her.”
I needed you.
“……?”
“Now we start talking again.”
As you probably already know, this world is not one.
Just as there are separate worlds that you call the first and second rounds, there are many different parallel worlds.
“It wasn’t like this originally.”
“Yes?”
“Originally, it was said to be one. If you look at old myths, they say that the world in the beginning was a sphere and one. It was similar here too.”
Jeondae Jusin.
A world run perfectly by only one absolute being.
A world where there were no problems and where evil did not exist.
“The problem is that this sentai master learned love.”
“…Ana No-Face bastard…Is the Lord in love now?”
“Oh, listen to the end. Little brother.”
It is said that Jeondae Ju-sin, who lived for a long time, fell in love with a mere girl who was born by chance.
“This is common information.”
“That’s right. Anyway, we had a lot of s*x, had a lot of kids, and clung to each other like sweet leeches, and then she died at the end of her life.”
“…No, look at your tone…”
“Understand. I’m originally an orphan from the back alleys, so my tone is rough.”
When his beloved companion died, Jeondae Ju-sin felt empty.
I want to meet the girl again.
It is said that the
That was created with just one heart.
“The concept of reincarnation was also added here.”
The only thought is to see the girl again.
In each generation, a girl is born as a different woman.
Most of them were born as a race with a very long lifespan.
Sometimes, people were born as members of the Yung family who could easily survive tens of thousands of years.
Every time, the Lord fervently confessed his love.
The two connected anytime and anywhere, had children, and lived happily ever after.
“The problem is that the former main deity did not know the side effects of reincarnation.”
Soul consumption.
Continued reincarnation gradually caused the girl to lose her origins, and once she passed the critical point, she could no longer maintain that form.
“In the end, it exploded with a bang… This is an aside, but the soul synthesis system was created to make up for this. Didn’t Leah explain it? Reincarnation purifies different souls and then mixes them up.”
“Oh, it’s to prevent soul consumption, right?”
“Yes. If you mix them together, they will be supplemented. The problematic parts will be purified and eliminated.”
Anyway, the head of Sentai went crazy because no matter what the girl did, it was no use.
But he didn’t use his power arbitrarily just because he was a god.
“… Instead, I couldn’t bear it myself.”
In the end, the main god wished to die.
“But in the first place, the main god is not a concept in which one can die saying, ‘Oh, I have to die now’. The moment he lets go of everything, the world collapses and all existence disappears. Therefore, he accepts all the power he has and runs it on his behalf. “I needed two.”
“…No way?”
“Oh, f*ck. That was me. This.”
The man felt sick to his stomach, so he put a large amount of ice in a cup into her mouth and crushed it.
“Waag, wow, wow… Wow, it was 1.5 Million years ago, but it still feels like sh*t to think about it again.”
“…Why are you my brother?”
“…Actually, this has a lot to do with the fact that you were summoned.”
Summon.
It is simply a concept taken from another dimension.
It is said that there is one fatal error here.
“Beings who come from a completely different conceptual dimension… Deviate significantly from the laws of that world.”
“…What do you mean?”
“To put it simply, you receive dozens of times more growth boosters than others. You can become stronger more easily and overcome your limits more quickly.”
Literally a vessel to become an ideal hero.
Some of them are born with good soul quality.
It is said that as you overcome countless trials and tribulations, you become stronger and your size increases.
“I was also noticed and summoned by the main god. Then, against my will, I fought countless enemies and increased the size of my soul. However, there was one unexpected problem in the process.”
“What is it?”
“As the main god gave up on himself, the affected world began to be torn apart. However, the original world is basically a law of balance. As it is torn apart, an area that deviates from the law, called the outside, naturally appears. It came into being.”
“…No way?”
“What you think is probably right.”
An unidentified high-energy Created by the gathering of souls that flew ‘outside’ and disappeared.
“And the Six Demon Yeokcheon, a being born to handle that .”
Lastly, the leader who appeared to unite the will of the Six Demons.
“Demon God.”
“……”
“These guys are saying they will destroy the world for no reason.”
Only in this way can we return the world to how it originally was.
“In other words, the Demon God is, in terms of our body, the immune system that has a problem and is trying to fix it. This is it.”
“……”
I couldn’t say anything for a while because of the man’s words.
