Episode 293 ― The Demon King of Misery (3)
“Is it because of that? You were nervous.”
“It could be because I’m originally a dirty person.”
Naor said bluntly. But Roan could relate.
“I know the outcome of this, obviously, but others don’t. I can’t explain it one by one, and even if I did, I wouldn’t believe it. Only once, but I felt something similar.”
Roan’s tone was soft.
Naor raised his head in surprise at the unexpected understanding, then looked away again. It was because he did not want to show his relieved face at those brief words.
But Roan felt his feelings.
Naor was ashamed.
As Roan silently tipped his glass, Naor managed to control his emotions before continuing.
“There are certain elements that must appear. Although the timing and cause of occurrence have changed little by little, it happens as if this is the ‘core of history’ and cannot be given up.”
“Hmm.”
“Shall we make a rough guess? The Black Spirit Lord and Erenia’s betrayal, the war with Merde, and when the devil appears, go back. Is that enough?”
These three things Roan also experienced. After hearing what had happened to Roan, Fiora’s guess was quite accurate. Naor gave a slightly surprised look, then he added a word.
“A warrior is coming. That’s it.”
“Ah.”
Fiora hadn’t met Anmut yet. At this point of loading, the hero had only encountered Roan while reconnaissance in the imperial castle.
So Fiora was not aware of how dangerous the hero was to the demon king.
“Eleanor and the Grand Duke have a reason. As a fellow demon, it’s annoying for me who’ve seen them for a long time, but it’s understandable. But human ways are incomprehensible. And that hero too.”
“The difficulty level went up from there.”
“Actually, the ways you brought the situation to this point are things I could never have imagined. Probably everyone in this country did. A truce.”
“The war had to be stopped. War is also a factor that gives demons strength. In addition, it is also an element that stimulates the warrior. I stopped the war to live.”
“What?”
Naor’s voice rose involuntarily.
“I had to stop. How do you know that?”
Wariness was evident on his face.
He instinctively felt a sense of incongruity with Roan’s attitude, as if he was giving out information that he could not know even after dozens or hundreds of recurrences, as if ‘this is the answer’.
Fiora looked at Roan’s face for a moment. She opens her eyes round as if asking, ‘Are you really talking about this?’ However, Roan smiled lightly.
“You ask the same question as last time. After all, personality doesn’t change.”
When Na Orr was wary and asked how he could know the future, Roan said he had future vision.
But this time, he told all of his own story.
It is also true that he was able to hear later stories that were not in the game.
Maybe if you tell all of Roan’s story, he’ll be able to get some new information.
Because the human heart works that way.
“I’ve talked to Fiora here before. I am from another world.”
“… In another world, where?”
“It doesn’t show up on the map here.”
Naor opened his eyes wide.
It was she herself who agreed to lend her body, and she had said that a goddess would find the right person for it. Because she was a goddess able to see the kernel of every being in this world.
But it’s a different world.
Some say that there is another place beyond the continent of Moira, but no one has come from beyond the continent, or anyone who has left and returned.
“If it’s not on the map, is it outside the Moira continent?”
Then, Roan laughed lightly.
He said with a laugh that wasn’t unpleasant.
“More than that… It has nothing to do with this planet, maybe with this universe.”
“A planet?”
Even Yongcheol, who had a short bag strap, knew what planets and the sun were, but it was a term that was not used in this world, where it was not assumed that people lived on ‘stars’ in the first place.
Naor and Fiora seemed surprised by the unexpected answer.
“Wait a minute, this is my first time talking about this. What, god… Are they the same?”
“No. I’m very, very ordinary…”
Roan, who continued talking, corrected his words.
“In another world, I was a miserable person. According to the goddess, there is a gap between this place and the place where I lived. It is said that the devil gains power through that gap. And perhaps the Goddess brought me through that gap.”
Fiora had briefly heard about Yongcheol’s life and his world. However, Naor did not readily believe Roan’s words.
It was like he didn’t want to believe it.
To think that the one who occupied his own body, nobler and more powerful than anyone else, lived a miserable life in another world. Besides, wasn’t he constantly creating results he hadn’t even thought of?
It was a story that was difficult for Naor to understand right away.
But the amazing story has just begun.
“Some of the entertainment there is based on the story here. It is assumed that the breath of the Goddess also reached there… I’m the one who used to play it.”
Here, too, there is the concept of a board game like chess. It’s a game with a story like a picture book, Roan added.
The main character of the story is Anmut, who was chosen as a hero, and the storyline is that Anmut defeats the devil and the devil.
I couldn’t bear to say the word Yagem.
Everyone knows that you are not the main character in life, but it is quite sad when you realize it. Even Yagem’s life as an extra or a villain. I think it will be more sad.
“In the game, he saw our story…”
“So you knew what was going to happen.”
“Some, yes.”
“Some?”
“I changed so many things.”
At Roan’s words, the two made a small sound as if they were exclamation or sigh. It was because Roan noticed the blind spot in his abilities.
“I see. You can’t guarantee that you know the future for sure.”
“Hmm. At first, a lot of what I knew came out, but now it doesn’t.”
“What was the original content?”
“I think what you went through the first time is closest to the content of the game.”
Naor put on a disgusted expression.
If it had happened at first, it meant that the hero would mess up the imperial castle and even kill himself.
“And that wasn’t the important part of the game.”
Roan added.
Roan, who hesitated for a moment, confessed what was inside him.
“As I said before, I was just an ordinary player. I used to bully and bully others. I couldn’t think of a way for me to kill someone like that. I was afraid that someone would come to kill me.”
Fiora looked at Roan with a pitiful look.
“Because suddenly becoming someone else is not something you can easily accept. Especially if you know for sure that it is destined to die soon.”
Naor’s mind seemed complicated.
It never occurred to him that he would embarrass anyone by stepping down.
He knew that his body and the environment around him were the best. Except for the nasty, repeating fate.
When such a condition was thrown to someone, how many people would be willing to accept this mandate to die in gold?
He couldn’t even accept this fate.
Naor’s eyes changed.
Before that, he began to see Roan differently in his eyes, who had thought of Roan as ‘the lucky guy who took over my body, smarter than I thought’.
As ‘someone who knew the way I ran away but decided to accept it’.
“So I decided to deprive the hero, the main character of the original game, from growing, and to prevent the hero from seeing me as an enemy.”
Naor raised his eyes as if he understood.
“It was a truce. Are you saying that if you don’t become an enemy of humans, the hero won’t come?”
Now Naor, an idiot, is beginning to understand the difference between Roan’s decision and his own. Roan smiled lightly at Naor’s surprised expression of realization.
“Humans are entangled in that clue.”
“Human?”
Roan nodded.
“Did you know that a human princess is being held in a castle?”
Roan asked, but Naor spoke shyly.
“You mean Grünent?”
“Okay.”
Naor now works with her.
“The king of Merde abandoned it as if he were leaving it. I knew it, but I didn’t want to bother, so I put him in jail. You saved me this time.”
Naor said shyly. It was because it was a little uncomfortable that he had abandoned her, who knew her now, with an attitude that she didn’t care if she died.
Hearing Roan’s subsequent explanation, he was even more astonished.
“In the game, the princess first becomes the hero’s side.”
“What?”
“Originally, the hero raised by the player escapes the princess with the human knight.”
“Oh!”
Then Naor burst out in exclamation. There was something to chew on.
“Okay. That’s right. Not escape Every summer, someone would come to Hwangseong and dig through it. It wasn’t always successful. Does that mean that much? Like a human, in fact, I wondered what would happen if I escaped. It felt bad to rob the imperial castle.”
“Grunent, who has returned, has raised the role of a hero. The hero you met was eventually raised by her hands. So I made my side with Grunent and her knight who came to rescue her.”
“Is that the story of Helen?”
Fiora was shocked.
“Okay. Grünent has value as a politician. And Helen uses her holy power. She taught me how to use her divine power properly. Besides, there was someone inside the imperial palace who leaked information to humans. Since you didn’t know that, the hero would have taken the princess out of the imperial castle every time.”
“What?”
Naor made a grim expression.
“You kidnapped me. Here. And I made her a maid.”
“I? When… Ah.”
As if remembering something, I awkwardly shut his mouth. Fiora made a tired expression.
“I did commit to this and that.”
“… That was before I could go back…”
Roan smiled at the two of them.
“So she took her too. In the meantime, thanks to the forest fairy who got closer, I was able to talk to the forest fairy. Fiora helped me along the way.”
Fiora smiled at Roan’s words.
Naru looked blankly at Roan.
A way to solve a problem by winning someone’s likes, even human likes.
It was a method that he could not think of again because he had the strongest power among the demons.
I didn’t have to depend on anyone
A being who should not depend on anyone, he was shocked by the new way that someone with the same ability did it to survive.
It was.
Whenever the emperor took a new step, Evirzio would shake greatly. And he has changed
Roan’s story continued.
Efforts he has made so far.
Roan spoke of the people he had met, of their abilities, and of the new stories they had told him.
Like the magic circle of Basel that the Count hinted at,
The information about humans from Grünent and Urtellia, advice from Helen, and the story of demons and magic learned from the forest fairy.
And about the future that has already passed.
“In the end, I was able to make the hero and the wizard next to him my allies. So the number… Anmut and Urtellia did not come to kill me. I thought that was enough.”
Roan passed the drink he had been drinking at once.
It is also a bitter memory.
“By the way, in the end, the Grand Duke came to kill me with Elenia. In the end, I was also stabbed by Eleanor’s sword.”
Alcohol was used
