Chapter 0 – Prologue
#Prologue.
“Should I just die…”
In a world where everything was gray, there was only one man.
Ruins.
There was nothing around to the extent that even calling it that was considered a luxury. Not even a single blade of grass can be seen on the charred dead ground.
It is as if no life forms exist except for men.
… And it was true.
“I’m bored.”
After sending the last survivors away. For two years, her man has been living in a different world alone. Actually, it’s been 2 years, but it feels like 200 years have passed.
I can’t even remember how to talk anymore.
Kugu Palace!
At that time, the sky parted and black groups appeared.
“Okay. I’d rather you guys come too.”
Dimension Eater.
A catastrophe that devours everything in the world. It’s the advance guard he sent. It’s been 17 years since I was dragged into this damn world. They were the ones who had faced each other so badly that they didn’t even know how much they had done.
“If you do it until the return, it will be 20 years…”
Her man’s name is Holiday.
It was a name that meant to be the center of the world.
On the day he was brought to another world, Gaon was at the barber shop in front of the training center to enlist in the army.
In order to say goodbye to the hair that has been with me for a long time, I trembled as I listened to the sound of a barista digging into my hair. He was so he came into this world.
And, … Lived like a bug
This world gave a harsh fate to Gaon, who grew up in an ordinary family and grew up smoothly.
Due to his humble talents, he barely managed to survive that insignificant life and lived a cowardly life.
After living like that, I was lucky enough to come back.
At the time he had the regression he seemed to have it all.
He believed that using the knowledge of the future, he would be able to become the protagonist of this world.
Always jealous of the strong. You can get away from the life that you yearned for and were weighed down with a sense of shame. He now thought he would be such an object.
However, his talent was still trash, and in the end he had no choice but to live cowardly again.
Had everything What you need, what you don’t need. He monopolized everything based on future information, and lived such a greedy life.
In front of Ki-yeon, he even betrays his colleagues. Ugly. Even before the return, I have walked a more trashy path.
There was nothing left of that.
Strongest. Now that he has become strong enough to be proud of it, there is nothing left next to Gaon.
I was alone. Thoroughly alone, he was dying day by day fighting the invaders. Now, even the guys welcomed him. He was enjoying himself tangled up with the guys who only had life for him.
It was the only moment when he realized that he was alive.
If this continues, I will go crazy.
No, maybe I’m already crazy.
If you give me another chance, this result won’t come out. I could do better. Thinking about that, I let out a dry laugh at myself.
“This is the result after I came back.”
Even if you get a chance, you might face an even worse ending than now.
I don’t know who did the regression, but if that person isn’t quite the idiot, he won’t give the same guy a chance. What do you mean by betting on someone who has already failed?
“Kiyaaaaa!”
While I was thinking foolishly, they came right in front of me. Enormous monsters covered the sky so that even a cluster of stars could not be seen.
I stood up as I saw the guys closing the distance in an instant. I took the earth and turned the spear that was supporting it, looked at them, and stabbed it lightly.
Huung-
Not a quick blow.
A breeze blows, and your hair flutters.
And, the rain of the monsters blocking my eyes also turned into powder and turned the sky gray.
“Oh, I made a mistake.”
It’s pathetic.
As a result of ignorantly consuming all kinds of tricks, even now, it has reached the point where I cannot perfectly control my strength.
I couldn’t even do this with the subject who had only wielded a spear for over 20 years. It was a really fucking insignificant talent.
But, in other words, even with that talent, he became this much stronger. Regression is amazing. A worm like himself, who had no talent or grit, made enough to do his part.
The problem is that the world isn’t so rosy.
If I did something called regression, I should at least be able to protect everyone.
I can’t do that, so I’m alone now.
“Then let’s go round one more time.”
Gaon, who was looking up at the night sky embroidered with beautiful stars, slowly started stretching.
It’s something I do every day, but there’s nothing like going around the world to pass the time.
I already know that there are no survivors in this world, but I still haven’t completely given up hope.
I’ll have to search every nook and cranny to find anyone I don’t know. At least it would be nice to have an animal…
Thinking that today’s aggression was also successfully defended, I slowly prepared to run, but suddenly a huge roar erupted from the sky.
Kwaji Jijik—!
“What?”
The sky splits Beyond the star-studded darkness, the universe split in two.
The dimension was being torn apart.
─────!!!
A terrifying monstrous creature appeared in it.
A body as large as some planet. There were countless number of mouths like anglerfish hanging there.
It was appearing from beyond the dimension, with long octopus-like tentacles hanging down.
Just looking at it, I felt a tremendous amount of energy.
I had goosebumps all over my body for the first time in a while.
“It was you.”
Dimension Eater.
The guy who was only rumored to have made his appearance at last. The reason he was drawn to this world, and the goal that will bring him to an end.
I lived because I couldn’t die.
Although he felt suicidal not once or twice, he forced himself to continue his life in order to at least have a chance to atone for his sins.
And, the opportunity finally came.
─Gooooo!!
Cried the bastard.
Hundreds and tens of millions of jaws all over the body were torn open at once, continuing their role.
Shuhuaaaaagh—!
All the energy in the world is sucked into him.
The stars that existed around them lost their color, and soon began to die black like the earth Gaon was stepping on.
In real time, his energy rises as if it is being blown up.
How many worlds have you swallowed up like this?
And what is the total amount of all that energy?
Tension ran through my body.
However, even though I was nervous, I wasn’t scared.
There were too many opportunities to get scared. If I’m scared to this extent, wouldn’t it be too unfair for the people who were deprived of their chance by me?
“Then let’s go.”
Gaon took a step forward.
The moment those feet stepped on the ground, the storm inherent in his body was released.
Fuu-!
A gust of wind engulfed everything around it. Enormous energy, enough to cover the entire world, radiated from a human body and charged forward with a goal.
─Quaaaaa!
Our eyes met.
I don’t know if there are organs that can be called eyes, but Gaon instinctively realized that his gaze was directed at me.
The biggest thing in his mouth. The mouth, which was still tightly closed, opened.
Immediately after, it attacks Gaon with tremendous suction power.
Not losing to him, Gaon also responded by gripping his spear tightly.
【Gale Light Dragon.】
The wind, which seemed to devour everything around it, was compressed into one place.
At first glance, it is easy to misunderstand that it has entered a lull, but it was just the eve of the storm.
“Suck!”
The moment the spear was thrown, Gwangryong appeared.
The dragon whose entire body was made of storms roared wildly and collided with the Dimension Eater.
Quaaaaang—!
The two energies collided, and the world was enveloped in darkness. The formidable shock wave turned everything around to nothing.
The collision of power and power inevitably creates a huge energy turbidity and destroys the surroundings.
The moment of confrontation, where no one backed down and would not be easily broken, came to an end unexpectedly soon.
Damn it!
The space and the dimension were collapsing, unable to withstand the enormous force. Ripped, broken It shakes unsteadily as if it will collapse at any moment.
Soon, the dimension collapsed.
The whole world is crumbling At a time when the concepts of time and space were disrupted and even the mighty soul was shaken, Gaon saw a star in his eyes.
‘Earth… ?’
Unlike the land Gaon had been stepping on just before, a planet full of life and blue and green.
Of course, even so, it is difficult to be certain that it is the Earth, but I couldn’t tell from the shape of the land in front of me.
Some say it is like a tiger lying on its side, but in fact, that land mass that looks like a rabbit in every way is the country where Gaon was born and raised. It was Korea.
Sssss-
The planet divides as if leaving an afterimage.
The clockwise rotation of the planets increased to a total of 10 Earths.
Ten identical twin-like planets existed beyond the collapsed dimension. They were getting closer.
I got closer and closer to one of those many Earths. No, is the earth rushing towards you? Gaon felt his vision blur in the midst of the confusion.
A strange sense of liberation and loss coexisting, as if the soul is trying to escape the body.
Through the blurry vision, Gaon saw another himself.
Nervous, young self sitting in a barber chair. He was himself in the days when he was not even garbage, even remembering when he was.
‘I miss it.’
With a brief appreciation, Gaon’s eyes close.
The lingering grip on his eyelids and he refused to let go, but the irresistible pressure overruled his will.
What is at the end of death?
Perhaps there is something called the underworld, and if he were to reunite with those who resent him, what kind of words would he have to tell? At the end of those worries, Gaon’s consciousness was completely submerged in darkness.
