Changed Body 559

Chapter 559 – Rebellion (7)

About 70 years ago.

Mirae Corporation, the core affiliate and starting point of Mirae Group, was established.

The founder is Lim Jung-seop, the first CEO of Mirae Group.

It was a company created for the purpose of researching, developing, and selling products using magic engineering.

At that time, magic engineering was treated as a trivial study.

In a situation where even the theory of magic had not yet been clearly established, combining it with science was perceived as being no different from walking through a minefield densely planted with landmines.

But he was sure.

Magical engineering is the innovation that will lead the future.

That advanced magic engineering will lead my family to a path of prosperity and abundance for generations to come.

With that belief alone, Lim Jung-seop devoted his life and fortune to magic engineering.

It wasn’t easy to give everything to something that everyone was pointing fingers at.

But he was not alone.

“I trust you.”

My younger brother, who is two years apart from me, with whom I had a close friendship since childhood, pushed my back.

That was enough.

If anyone believes in you, you will be able to repay them.

The end of the single path I walked with such faith was a cliff.

It failed miserably.

It was undoubtedly true that magic engineering was an innovative technology that would lead the future.

But it was too early to touch on it.

It wasn’t until I lost everything that I realized it, and I fell off a cliff into an abyss of despair.

And I struggled with extreme regret.

I didn’t have a grand dream of world development.

However, I hoped that my family would be prosperous for generations to come.

It was even more miserable and cruel because that good will actually plunged the family into a deep abyss.

I didn’t even dare to think about dying.

Because dying while ruining your family was not an apology, it was just an escape.

Of course, there was nothing I could do just because I was alive.

I had already squandered my wealth, and my aging body was so exhausted that I could no longer try anything else.

Day after day, I was struggling in deep despair and just desperately hoped.

I hope someone holds my hand and pulls me out of this despair.

Surprisingly, that vain wish came true.

As he was aimlessly wandering the streets at night, a crack suddenly appeared in front of him.

And a voice came from within.

-“Come in here. I will lead you out of despair.”

I couldn’t refuse.

Because he had wandered in despair for a long time, his body and mind were devastated.

He threw himself into the crack.

And he faced

With an unknown being named Dantalion.

-“Tell me what you want. I will give you any knowledge.”

A truly sweet question.

He thought before answering.

It doesn’t look like an angel.

So is it the devil?

Soon his thoughts stopped.

Because I realized that the thoughts I had now were of no use.

‘It doesn’t matter what it is.’

Either a devil or an angel.

If only I could get myself out of this despair, no matter what.

Lim Jung-seop confessed his wish.

A terrible, painful desire like lovesickness that started with first love.

“Magic engineering. I want knowledge of magic engineering.”

It was from this time.

The true beginning of Future Corporation, which will be called the pioneer of magic engineering in the near future.

* * *

3m tall.

A multi-headed being holding a huge book between its armpits opens its mouth.

“Knowledge is power.”

A middle-aged man wearing a crown.

“It is the power to control this world.”

A young, handsome man.

“That’s why it’s dangerous and attractive.”

A fascinating woman.

Praising knowledge, he takes out the book between his armpits, points it at Na-eun Lim, and asks.

“Do you know what this is?”

She shook her head.

The cover had something written on it that I couldn’t tell whether it was letters or pictures I had never seen before.

Dantalion, the unknown being, answered.

“This is called the Book of Dantalion.”

“Only I can unfold.”

“Only I can read it in this world.”

“Here you can see the past, present, and future of this world.”

That wasn’t a lie.

In the past, Lim Jung-seop wanted knowledge of magic engineering.

And it’s not just ordinary, it’s technology ahead of its time.

A vast amount, enough to revive a family that has fallen to the bottom of the abyss.

Dantalion granted his wish.

He opened a book that only he could open and brought forth knowledge of the future.

And with that, Mirae Corporation miraculously recovered and reached what it is today.

“But do you know?”

“Knowledge is something that cannot be obtained for free.”

“You have to pay a reasonable price for the knowledge you want.”

Peeking into the future.

Telling someone the future you saw is an act of twisting a predetermined fate.

Therefore, it cannot or should not be achieved easily.

So Dantalion said.

“Im Jung-seop hoped for future magic engineering technology.”

“Instead of telling him it, I told him to pay.”

“Kkkk…, Do you know what the price is?”

Lim Na-eun’s face turned white.

Many voices ringing dizzyingly in my ears?

No.

‘I don’t want to know.’

It was because of the past that was constantly being engraved and the longing for it.

My grandfather made a deal with an unknown entity called Dantalion for his knowledge of magic engineering.

So then, what did the grandfather give to gain the priceless knowledge of the future?

I’m not curious.

I don’t want to know.

But I keep craving it.

I keep listening, knowing that the cruel truth awaits me.

One of the heads that was looking at this and smiling happily answered.

“I told you.”

“If you sacrifice your younger brother to me, I will give you knowledge of the future.”

“And your grandfather said yes without a moment of hesitation!”

“Ah, the cruel Lim Jung-seop… !”

Despair fills my ears, and the scene from that moment plays clearly in my head.

The feeling of my grandfather driving a knife into my younger brother’s heart flows through his hand.

Even her grandfather’s miserable feelings and her desire to surpass him were felt at that time.

“Aaaaah!”

It’s unpleasant.

It’s unclean.

It’s ominous.

It makes me want to cut off my ears, split my hair, and cut off my hands.

Her legs became weak, and she sat down and begged.

“Please, please stop…, Please kill me quickly… ! “I hate it, I hate it!”

That’s how Mirae Group grew.

Whenever the knowledge gained from Dantalion was depleted, he sacrificed someone to obtain new knowledge.

And this time it was her turn.

An offering of knowledge for the next 10 years of Future Group.

That was the value of her existence and the reason she was born.

“Please… !”

Dantalion indifferently passed her begging towards him and approached her.

He hurriedly bows his head in an unexpected situation.

A middle-aged head wearing a crown opened his mouth.

“It’s been a while, Burgeoji.”

Waste.

I grit my teeth at the insulting words and try to answer with a bright expression.

“Yes, yes…, Dantalion. How have you been?”

“Hehe…, Do I even have to tell you how I feel?”

Lim Ji-hoon bows his head deeper in a harsh voice.

“S-sorry… !”

I am reminded again.

The duality of an unknown being called Dantalion.

He is infinitely kind to those he is interested in, but is extremely harsh to those who are not.

Fearing that he might die, he asks in a trembling tone.

“Well, if you have anything to say, please let me know.”

The reason he arrived in front of me must have been because he had something he wanted.

Otherwise, I know there’s no way you’d give me even a glance.

Then he calmed down and answered.

“An intruder will come soon.”

“Tch, you’re an intruder… ?!”

He is so surprised.

It was natural.

Who would dare to set foot in my mansion, which is no different from the blood of a dragon and tiger?

“Go up to meet him.”

And.

“Block and kill.”

Feeling the stinging gaze pouring down his spine, he dared to guess.

Dantalion was angry.

And the fact that that anger is not directed at oneself, but at the intruder who will come in the predicted future.

“Keep one thing in mind.”

A quiet voice warned him.

“Never give yourself a chance.”

Starting with that, all kinds of heads start crying.

“Never let down your guard!”

“If you take your time, you’ll end up with a big nose injury, you bastard!”

“Use all the cards you can.”

“You should never look down on someone just by looking at their appearance.”

Voices of different genders and ages resonate loudly.

Although the tone and tone were different, what they wanted to convey was clear.

Do your best to block and kill intruders.

So he asked.

“Couldn’t you tell us a little more about him, so we can be fully prepared?”

Then, while he was thinking deeply, he took out the book he had placed under his arm, opened it, and recited the text written on the exposed page.

“He is a mistake.”

“Yes… ?”

“All kinds of ugly emotions that only humans can have, and a vessel created by heaven. A mistake made by two things that should not be intertwined.”

So be prepared.

“Otherwise we will all die.”

A cool feeling that feels as if a knife has been thrust at your throat.

He was so frightened by this that he roughly loosened his tie, climbed up, and shouted irritably at his driver, who was standing guard in front of the stairs leading to the basement.

“Tell everyone to gather together.”

It was a rallying signal to those who make this house a hotbed.
