Chapter 38 – Episode 38: Under the Tyrant
Before the field of vision could be properly secured, an ear-piercing explosion sounded.
[Fire-Tae-Wo-La!]
For some reason, a terrible explosion accompanied by familiar shouts.
Beyond the blurry vision, you can see a gigantic battleship bombing the ground, which can only come out of a game.
The ground hit by the beam turns over, lava gushes up, and dust blows like a storm with a shock wave.
The grotesque monsters crawling on the floor disappear without leaving ashes in the intense attack.
‘What is this again?’
It reminds me of a blockbuster sci-fi movie, so I shake my head for a while.
Seeing that my vision is blurry and my ears are ringing blankly, it seems that there is a problem I am not aware of.
Furthermore, seeing that the view doesn’t change when I shake my head, it’s not even the scene I’m watching.
[But, Your Majesty! Please think of the subjects who will be below!]
[Do you really believe that you are alive in the waves of those monsters, general?]
Drip-drip, I can feel the tears flowing.
Maybe it was because of the tears, but now I can see properly.
An old man in a golden crown.
Instinctively, I knew that this ‘Your Majesty’ was a tyrant who would burn.
A fact that can be easily inferred by looking at all kinds of weapons decorated in red, including SF-style ships.
[General, I hope you can take care of one more of those damn monsters before you open your mouth with a petty moral sense. Do you think of Shinmin? Even the elite royal guards could not survive an hour on the ground and lost contact. Is there any way to rescue the people over there?]
An old, shabby man with sunken eyes.
But is it because of the two eyes shimmering with madness and anger?
No one inside the ship, not even those who shared my line of sight, dared to speak.
While burning down monster-infested lands as well as cities that still hold their defenses.
‘…Is this why he’s called a tyrant?’
The emperor became mad and burned everything.
Even the servants who said that if the empress were alive, she would be furious.
Even the defenders on the ground cheered at the sight of the Red Fleet while maintaining the defense line.
The reconnaissance boat sent a call requesting support saying that it was discovered during reconnaissance and was surrounded.
Burn the planet
Burning alien life in space
While eventually destroying their homeworld and then returning to destroy all tainted colonies-
No one dared to think of rebelling against the emperor.
[Your Majesty, this is the last, last colonized planet! If you burn even that planet, you will have to wander the unexplored regions at the edge of the universe to find a planet that can be settled!]
[If so, I will do so.]
The Emperor bombards the last planet because of the discovery of alien flying species and mini colonies.
Some servants who share my gaze are executed by a mechanical soldier after biting a bubble and dissuading me.
Just like that, beyond the ship’s transparent barrier, the last human stronghold burns.
All that remains now are three ships, including the Emperor’s flagship.
Even if it could sail the universe forever with infinite power, the internal resources are extremely scarce.
The emperor said that he would go into hibernation and gave his subjects a choice.
People made a variety of choices.
There was one ship that changed course because it couldn’t be under the mad emperor.
There were those who chose to die of old age without hibernation and chose life inside the ship.
Many people committed suicide out of grief over the loss of their family.
The servant who shared the view also disappeared with a pistol.
Bang-! A short gunshot, the ship silenced.
‘Star, fuck, I’m not going to burn the entire continent here, right?’
After the gunshot, I look around with a free gaze, and I hear a whisper in my ear again.
[So, was this memory helpful?]
I think I’ll be able to come to my senses even if I’m dragged by a giant by the hair.
“Here?”
[It’s my airship, young Constellation.]
I thought I was watching a dying ship, but at some point I was naturally on board the airship.
Literally, in the blink of an eye, the world has changed.
[It’s been a while since I’ve seen Dream Walker. Because I was the first to be swept away by those damn aliens.]
Well, the Dream Walkers, who were dreamers, were swept away by the telepathy of an alien species, and they all went crazy and died before the planet was set on fire.
As I thought about it, I suddenly got goosebumps.
Is a dream walker a dream horse?
And how do you know they died first?
[Lack of experience seems insufficient. If you can’t control yourself, you’d better not approach someone like me.]
“No, what is this… ?”
[There are quite a few things I want to tell you, but I can’t say any more. Have you undergone a change of soul? It feels like seeing a child who has just taken his toes. I thought I had someone to talk to for the first time in a while. I’ll come back after I grow up a bit]
Before I could understand the situation after hearing the one-sided congratulatory order
I realized I was lying on a bed in a studio apartment.
‘It’s fucking crazy, really…’
※
I lay on the bed clutching my messy head as if I had drank a ton of alcohol, and organized my thoughts.
I watched my incarnations cross over to the North Continent to participate in the tyrant’s ceremonies of burning.
Then, did you see the same screen as the burning tyrant or was it indirectly connected through the incarnations?
I was sucked into the nightmare of a burning tyrant.
Like an osmotic pressure phenomenon, I was forced to be sucked in even though I didn’t want to.
And the tyrant who noticed that lightly kicked me out of his mental world.
Listening to what you say, I’m not a dreamer or a dream walker, but did you just send me here and there with your mental powers?
The world changed every time I blinked, so it was dizzy.
What kind of monsters are there?
I lay down on the bed to relieve my nauseous stomach.
Looking at the screen, I can see Han Ye-ji and Lee Ha-rin excitedly hunting monsters like women.
I felt sick to my stomach at the procrastination, so I closed my eyes again.
Dizziness and lethargy pounding my head from both sides.
As the burning tyrant said, it’s only been about a year since I became a dreamer.
Toddler baby?
You hit me too hard
Looking at my current level, I’m just a slug.
A slug that is salted and its body fluids sucked out, twisting and dying.
“Ah, fuck… I’ve never had anything like this before, even after eating pollutants.”
I forcefully open my mouth as I feel my throat dry out.
If I don’t talk to myself, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to speak out again.
Even when I was hit on the back of my head by a piece of broken ceiling or forced to swallow a swollen canned food, I didn’t feel as dizzy as this.
In the end, when I woke up in a normal condition, a full day had passed.
Han Ye-ji goes back to work, and Lee Ha-rin goes back to the academy to take her classes of her.
[Talent Evolution: Excitement]
[Talent Flowering: Extreme Performance]
Surprisingly, both of them had their characteristics increased one by one.
‘Something doesn’t feel real…’
When I was talking to the Burning Tyrant, I asked if he was of any help to me.
I wonder if he did something because he knows Dreamwalkers and Dreamwalkers?
Two points and traits coming in the future.
At this point, to me who burned the planet and roasted it, you are the Holy One.
Two free traits, long live the burning tyrant.
‘But what kind of trait is that?’
Both of them have their characteristics bloomed at the same time, so they rush to report.
Han Ye-ji reported to my senior and took half a day to the training ground.
Lee Ha-rin reports to the instructor during class and goes to the gym.
Come to think of it, isn’t there a function like split screen? I guess… If you give me points?
Dizziness, lethargy, and drowsy fatigue disappeared, but
The speed of my head turning seemed to be still there.
Two things happening at the same time, so who to watch?
I couldn’t decide what kind of conversation to have and I just stared blankly at it.
For now, the screen is fixed on Lee Ha-rin.
Han Ye-ji’s characteristic of being a pleasure is because, at a glance, it seems to be a characteristic that makes the projectile faster.
She always shoots a tranquilizer gun, and it seems her traits her have gone up towards the gunner.
However, I couldn’t understand it just by looking at the word, which is a characteristic of the extreme, so I fixed the screen to listen to the explanation.
“So, cadet Lee Ha-rin. You mean that the burning tyrant got his characteristics after participating in this event?”
“Extreme? It should be in the database.”
“Yes, it’s probably a characteristic that drives growth to one side.”
Instructors and Lee Ha-rin are having a conversation.
Of course, the instructor is the one asking the question, and Lee Ha-rin is the one explaining the characteristics.
He began to explain his own characteristics of his, as if he was not only familiar with constellations and incarnations, but also memorized attributes and powers.
“I remember it as a trait that probably makes it split into two branches, the physical and the mental. However, I don’t feel that my body is energized or my stamina has improved, so I want to take a test on basic magic.”
“Well then, I’ll put in contact with the Basic Magic Instructor first.”
Lee Ha-rin, who had been casually conversing with the instructor as if it were no big deal, stopped walking and sat down on his bench.
‘Well then…’
After making sure no one is around
Hesitantly, he pointed his finger in the air and began looking into his talent window over and over again.
If you compare it to passing out with crab foam, should I say that’s a lot better?
Or should I think it got worse?
