Chapter 170 – The Final Battle (2)
“If you bring someone, do something!”
Even if you shout and make a fuss, there is no answer that comes back.
Because there is no one to answer.
The empty cry was soon buried in the black background.
Exhausted from my work, I sat down in my seat.
“… Will Ain be okay?”
There was no way to know what might have happened outside.
Ain who sensed that his condition had become abnormal would surely react violently.
I can only pray that I do not lose my composure.
All I have to do after coming here is pray.
There’s nothing useful about it, and it’s utterly stupid.
I am disillusioned with myself who only holds my ankles.
What if you are fighting the demon king?
The opponent is the Demon King.
That too has been around for a long time.
It will surely not be an ordinary opponent.
I didn’t want to leave such an opponent to fight alone.
Didn’t you come all this way with the desire to help?
Therefore, he could not remain stagnant in this strange space forever.
Apart from this tense situation, the space was extremely quiet.
I was fed up with the suffocating silence and stillness.
Let’s think.
What way
So I sat there for a while, frowning.
Unfortunately, killing time did not create sharp numbers.
In the end, there was nothing that could be done.
If you want to get over the difficult gobi once, this is the point.
It’s like living to feel helpless.
My head was about to fall off.
Don’t bow your head.
You’ve shaken off the feeling of powerlessness.
How can I overcome this too?
You’re going back
By Ain’s side.
Where everyone is.
As if responding to my will, a bright light came in.
Bright light.
I woke up.
‘Why is the light?’
Because the surroundings were dark, it was particularly noticeable.
I looked around to see if it was someone else who made that light, but I couldn’t find anyone to speak of.
It is too artificial to be natural.
Before even asking a plausible question, the light was formed in the form of a square.
And it is made into a form I know well.
It was a computer monitor.
“… You say something like this comes out of here?”
It was embarrassing.
Isn’t it an item that shouldn’t exist in this world?
Does this make sense?
I wonder if it’s true that the demon king called me here.
It’s impossible for someone from this world to show you things from a completely different world.
While I was so lost, the light on the monitor without a body came on.
Eventually, the monitor transmitted a video.
Yes.
It was cut here and there, like an old projector turning on, but it was definitely a video.
I haven’t seen it since I came to this world.
Reminiscent of modern times.
I couldn’t close my mouth for a moment.
What the hell
What is going to happen?
The brain is dyed white.
I’m so shocked I can’t even think of anything.
Even in a very confused state, the eyes still followed the image.
In the video, I saw a concrete building and gloomy clouds that are hard to see in this world.
After a while, it looked like it was going to rain.
Oh
This is the day
I inadvertently opened my mouth and let out a sigh.
Forgotten memories slowly come to mind.
* * *
Jureukjureuk.
It is raining.
It rained so hard that it even created fog.
The gloomy scenery outside made me depressed just by looking at it.
Did you say that depression is contagious?
I sat down on a chair at the table and munched on the leftover chicken I ate yesterday.
“It’s really boring.”
It was a dry and monotonous daily life that made the long-awaited weekend a waste.
I watched the news on the TV and turned my attention to my phone.
I turned on the novel site app to relieve my boredom.
It has been one of my hobbies lately.
If you fall for this unexpectedly once, you will be busy reading without noticing the passage of time.
There’s nothing like it to relieve boredom.
I also feel quite a bit of vicarious satisfaction.
The main characters in the novel overcome crises and get rewards.
I really liked that.
Because I couldn’t overcome the crisis.
There was no reward for suffering.
While browsing through this and that on the novel site, a provocative phrase caught my eye.
‘I became a saint who is the seed of the cult of sexual love.’
It was a raunchy and provocative title.
Looking at the tag, the phrase “Exhaustion” Was written all over it.
It was a tag I didn’t like.
Still, I can’t stand the dirty covers.
Since I am also a man, my hand went unintentionally.
Upon examining the contents, the main character, a saint, was constantly harassed.
I suffered all kinds of pain and suffering, and pushed my mind to the point where it became a rag.
It seemed that all the elements in the novel were there to drive the main character.
Isn’t it too much to do?
I sympathized with the main character, Aria.
Because I couldn’t see any hope in giving me so much pain and suffering.
The days of being harassed and thoroughly ruined by the church continue.
Unlike me, Aria wants her life to not be boring.
Well, no matter how stimulating it was, I didn’t want to lead a life like that.
How can it not be terrifying to helplessly watch precious people being destroyed one by one?
At that point I moved on to another novel.
Even if you like erotic things, you hate painful stories.
Even if it wasn’t, it was already a life that was exhausted enough.
Even during the long-awaited break, I didn’t want to shudder with pain and shame.
So I passed the time looking at other delightful novels.
“Ugh, nice look.”
Time passed by as if I had been quite immersed in the novel.
My neck was all sore because of it.
I got up from my chair for a while and warmed up.
The back, arms and shoulders were sequentially relaxed.
At the end, I turned my head around and saw the calendar lying on the table.
It was sheer coincidence that my eyes were drawn to the calendar.
What day was it today?
I flicked through the calendar with my eyes and stopped abruptly.
The only day marked with a red pen on the unmarked calendar.
Because I realized that day is today.
“Today was your parents’ anniversary.”
A dry voice came out.
I stared at the ceiling for a moment.
The yellowed wallpaper greeted me.
Parents.
My parents.
They died when I was in high school.
The cause of death for both was a car accident.
At least, it was a common death.
No matter how common it is, I wouldn’t think that the incident would happen to me.
It’s too late to notice because I’ve been busy lately.
No matter how much it was, I almost forgot my parents’ death date and moved on.
I want to be a decent guy too.
Mouth was written
“… I should have bought something and made an offering, but he liked it.”
Funny enough, even the food you liked in life is me.
As such, time forces people to forget.
And if you look at it, since when?
Sitting alone at the kitchen table and watching TV or cell phones is not fun.
I think I used to laugh and talk with my parents in the past.
I felt really dirty.
I put on my clothes and took an umbrella.
Anyway, it’s due date.
Wouldn’t it be the duty of a child to buy even the food your parents loved when they were alive?
I also felt regret.
If there were oxygen for the two of you, you would have packed up at least alcohol and wept loudly.
Hmm, then I wonder if there was a complaint report from nearby?
There was no oxygen for my parents.
It was because it was difficult to find a place to bury the two of them in the narrow land of Korea.
I did makeup.
The ashes of the parents scattered in the sea must have become food for the fish.
I haven’t been to the sea since.
It was hard because I kept thinking about it.
Unlike the strong protagonists in novels, I am weak.
I have a lot of thoughts.
Let your body move.
I got out of the house
Then I got on the elevator.
I pressed the first floor and looked in the mirror in the elevator.
I saw a man who was exhausted.
Appropriate height and mediocre appearance.
Short black hair.
Lips protruding, as if full of dissatisfaction.
It was an ugly tabletop that even forgot the anniversary of his parents.
Ding, ding, ding.
The elevator descends slowly.
Suddenly, the light in the elevator I was in turned off and on again.
“Yes? What is it, is it raining? Electricity is so strange.”
Rattle.
Rattle.
The shaking also gradually increased.
When something feels strange.
I felt a strange feeling of wealth.
“Uh?”
That was my last scream of death.
Thurrrr
The elevator crashed.
* * *
The video ended there and showed noise.
Tooth support support.
It was a noise that made my ears uncomfortable.
Anyone who sees it will believe it even if it is a ghost story.
“… It was the demon king who brought me here, but it was you who kept me here.”
The light is
A strong light with a different intensity than before.
I wasn’t embarrassed.
I know that light
The light soon turned into a girl with rich golden hair.
Even though she’s naked, she doesn’t feel evil, which means she’s such a sacred being.
The Goddess of Sexuality.
Also known as the settled sun god.
She, in her own form, asks me.
-Did you find all your memories?
“Yes.”
-Do you know why I erased your memory?
“Was the wandering moon god reading my memories and noticing it, wasn’t it?”
-Right.
I felt the shape of my body become unclear.
It was no longer Arya’s form.
Now I would be closer to ‘XXX’ than ‘Aria’.
Because the god of the sun made it that way.
“Is it because I don’t have to worry about it anymore that made me regain my memory at this moment?”
-That’s right, it’s time to keep my offer to you.
Proposal.
She made a proposal to the dead me.
Moment you want.
Please grant me one wish whenever I want.
Then you can come back without any problems.
I was afraid of dying alone in an elevator, so I suddenly accepted that opinion.
I never thought I would be possessed by the world in the novel I saw before I died.
“… It was just one wish, for sure.”
-Yes.
“What is your wish?”
-Give me your body, that is, Arya’s body.
I looked at the sun god without answering.
She said disgustingly.
– Then, as promised, I’ll send you back to the original world.
It was a moment of choice.
