Chapter 189 – The Longest Terror (3)

23. The Longest Terror (3)

‘Ah… Fuck… What else is this time… ?’

Consciousness soon recovered. It’s fortunate that the ending wasn’t about dying from being crushed by space, but it quickly became bleak as I was alone in a dark place with nothing.

“Kaya!”
“Shay!”
“Illumina!”

I called my colleagues, but there was no answer. It must have been no mistake that his comrades were swallowed up in the darkness right before he lost consciousness.

‘Is this a welcome-type skill again?’

Whatever the situation, both body and mind were safe. Then I was a little relieved. It was because the probability that his colleagues would be safe also increased. At least so far.

‘I’m nervous.’

After being attacked with mentality for the first time by fearless warriors in 1-3, having been encroached on and wandering between life and death several times, I was quite good at this type of attack. Besides, didn’t he even attack the fear bastard he didn’t even dare to look at in District 3?

Aside from the figures shown in the message, I thought our mentality had become very solid compared to the beginning.

‘But why are you so anxious?’

Another knowledge increased.

Horror That this bastard likes to fuck around.

Wow that was really helpful knowledge!

“… Fuck.”

Then, all of a sudden, the fact that I got used to this kind of situation came out with swearing. No matter how much I realized that I was living a real life and what happiness was after I fell here, apart from that, I wanted to have a lot of fucking experiences.

‘What is it? If you’re going to harass me, harass me quickly.’

Of course, just because you got used to it, did you get used to the pain? That was another issue…

As always in dungeons, if you want to adapt, you showed more than that.

“You guys can never get rid of fear. But as for you guys… I can’t find any more fear.”

[The will of the warriors has been broken by the longest fear.]

[The warriors have been wiped out.]

“Ah fuck-foot shit game trash game lucky fuck game!”

[Would you like to create a new warrior corps?]

“Fuck you no!”

What?
What is this?

“… Ah, the time is a bit ambiguous, so let’s play one more game and go to sleep.”

[Would you like to create a new warrior corps?]

“Sweep, to be honest, breaking District 3 with Nodes with this combination was a skill. Okay. Let’s do one more round. The first class failed, but I have to break it anyway…”

“This time, instead of Baheon, if there’s a good werewolf or reinforced human, let’s try it.”

I was there.

Sitting in front of a computer desk in a corner of a familiar 5.5-pyeong studio, I saw myself chewing the game with a high probability, but restarting the game with a higher probability.

Stubborn hair, eye mucus that didn’t fall properly, a T-shirt that stretched to one side from wearing the same thing for a long time, and sweatpants full of lint. On top of that, a tired face, slightly bent shoulders, a small physique, and a stale atmosphere that can’t be hidden.

There was a me just a few months ago who couldn’t even recreate that kind of appearance now.

A few months ago, I, Han Yu-jin, was clicking the mouse and the space bar while watching the ending screen of The Long Terror. It was to skip as quickly as possible. Because she does so much, she has the appearance of an accomplished deaf person who knows where to click at what tempo.

‘What? Are you trying to humiliate me by showing the embarrassing past no matter where it is presented?’

There was a word called shame that often went around on the Internet. It was definitely embarrassing, pathetic, and humiliating. But it ended there. That was it. The past was bleak and insignificant, but he had never done anything illegal or caused harm to others.

‘No way… Is this the end?’

Looking at myself was more awkward than looking at a photograph, but it wasn’t impossible. I was very scared of what kind of pain would torment me because of the effect of the universe collapsing…

「You guys can never get rid of fear. But as for you guys… I can’t find any more fear.”

[The will of the warriors has been broken by the longest fear.]

[The warriors have been wiped out.]

“Ah fuck-foot shit game trash game lucky fuck game!”

[Would you like to create a new warrior corps?]

“Fuck you no!”

… Uh?

“… Ah, the time is a bit ambiguous, so let’s play one more game and go to sleep.”

“This time, instead of Baheon, if there’s a good werewolf or reinforced human, let’s try it.”

… Uh? What?

If I’m not suffering from short-term dementia, I’m sure this is what I saw a while ago?

‘Is my memory reset?’

Goosebumps spread all over his body, from the back of his neck to his tailbone. Unbeknownst to me, my mind, which had been slightly loose, was tightened.

Is my memory resetting a new one without my knowledge, or is my image repeating itself?

It reminded me of the loop space I met in the dungeon ‘between heresy and forbidden’. A fantastic space that I didn’t even know they were going round and round in the same place until Cestia discovered it. Considering that the incident at that time was caused by the fear bastard trying to descend on Bestia’s body, it was not strange at all that a phenomenon similar to that time appeared.

‘So, what should I do?’

It may not be real, but this was a 5.5 pyeong studio. As I walked around, I found traces of loops, and there was nothing I could do to sleep. I went to the door to see if I could get out of this room, but only the shape of the door was implemented and it did not open. Not just in the vague darkness, but in the extremely realistic space of the studio where I lived, the feeling of being trapped jumped several times over.

‘In the end, the past me is the only variable.’

The moment I gave up physical escape methods and looked back at myself in the past.

「You guys can never get rid of fear. But as for you guys… I can’t find any more fear.”

[The will of the warriors has been broken by the longest fear.]

[The warriors have been wiped out.]

“Ah fuck-foot shit game trash game lucky fuck game!”

‘Ah.’

At some point, my body returned to its original position, and I was spitting out the same curse words as I had in the past.

Mouth was dry. My hands and feet were shaking. There was no immediate physical or mental pain. But the scenario was expected.

If you don’t figure it out, you’re trapped here.

Forever.

Watching the pathetic past me repeating endlessly the scene of swearing, the hostility toward the horror gradually fades away, and the obsession to get out of here and the old woman’s mind about what happened to my colleagues will be buried. Obsessive-compulsive disorder and old age will lead to fear, added fear will lead to frustration and despair, and frustration and despair will lead to abandonment of rebellion against the fear bastard.

As he said, we are mortals who can’t live forever, so even if time didn’t really flow here, the power of time was destructive.

「You guys can never get rid of fear. But as for you guys… I can’t find any more fear.”

[The will of the warriors has been broken by the longest fear.]
[The warriors have been wiped out.]

In the meantime, the line of the fear cub spouted out to the warriors who returned once more and faced annihilation was printed again. From his lines, I remembered the saying that only the dead are ignorant of fear.

“… Ah, the time is a bit ambiguous, so let’s play one more game and go to sleep.”

[Would you like to create a new warrior corps?]

A band of annihilated warriors.

Overall, it was dark and there were many letters floating around, so I couldn’t see it well, but when I looked closely, I saw the dead bodies of the warriors in a terrible posture in front of the fear cub.

“Sweep, to be honest, breaking District 3 with Nodes with this combination was a skill. Okay. Let’s do one more round. The first class failed, but I have to break it anyway…”

[Please select a difficulty level.]

I didn’t notice it because I was embarrassed to look at myself, but my look at the monitor looked quite upset. The main reason is probably because he was simply annihilated at the last minute and was angry, but it seemed that he had other feelings besides that. I knew because

Pity, or regret that it is deeply buried.

“Of course.”

“This time, instead of Baheon, if there’s a good werewolf or reinforced human, let’s try it.”

When I paid attention to myself in the past, what I said in the past sounded different.

‘Isn’t it Baheon this time? Is it your skill to break District 3 with Nodes with this combination? The first attempt failed, but… ?’

After I was already annihilated, I was habitually left-clicking and hitting the space bar, so the screen was blurred and switched to the ending and a new prologue, so I couldn’t see more closely.

‘… No way. No way.’

A crazy thought came to my mind. It was so nonsense, and just thinking about it caused intense rejection from both reason and emotion, so I couldn’t go any further.

However, it was difficult to start sprouting anything. Once a thought sprouted, it took root in the brain.

‘No way. No way. No way. Nonsense. Uh. It’s nonsense. It’s a masterpiece. What kind of a chick is this? No, no matter how much this bastard is, what is it over there, there’s no way it could be possible even with such an existence… Ji…’

The more I tried to erase it, the more I suffered from the ridiculous assumptions that grew like a snowball.

「You guys can never get rid of fear. But as for you guys… I can’t find any more fear.”

[The will of the warriors has been broken by the longest fear.]
[The warriors have been wiped out.]

“Ah fuck-foot shit game trash game lucky fuck game!”

[Would you like to create a new warrior corps?]

“Fuck you no!”

What?
What is this?

‘Is this a welcome-type skill again?’
