Into the Creations 2094

Chapter 2094 – 2094. The Path Of Ascending Light

After causing chaos in the tattoo world, I returned to Earth and met Park Suho. We sat at a street stall in Hongdae, drinking raw soju. Park Suho’s complaints mostly went in one ear and out the other.

‘Meeting him, I can tell for sure. Park Suho has gotten weaker.’

The power and momentum that once felt like A-rank had dropped to B-rank level. There was a huge difference between A-rank and B-rank. Park Suho would probably lay low for a while and focus on the growth of Veroprin.

“Hyung… I’m having such a hard time.”

“I understand. It must be because you lost the territory war.”

“If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have just asked for your help… If you had been there, we wouldn’t have lost the territory war.”

“Well, you never know. Anyway, don’t cling to me just because you’re drunk.”

Completely wasted, Park Suho tried to latch onto me. It was annoying to have a tattoo-obsessed guy staggering around, trying to grab me. In my mind, I killed Park Suho about twelve times.

It was too much of a hassle to take the drunk Park Suho home, so I just dumped him in a nearby motel and left.

Park Gain.

Park Suho’s younger sister. It had been a while since I visited her hospital bed. She was deeply asleep as always. Thanks to Park Suho being able to afford the hospital bills, she was living comfortably, but… the curse of the Baektak was still there.

Long black hair, skin so pale it was almost white. Compared to when I first saw her, she didn’t seem to have grown at all.

I took off Park Gain’s patient gown while she was deeply asleep. A small physique with perky breasts. At the tips were pink nipples, seemingly shy. I also took off her panties. A tightly closed, straight slit. I touched and examined her body all over.

‘There are no tattoos. Is she really the empress from Rayel’s prophecy?’

I couldn’t be sure. The prophecy itself could be wrong. It could be referring to a different woman, not Park Gain. There was nothing I could know at this stage.

‘Hmm.’

It was a shame to just leave. I touched Park Gain’s body all over.

Soft and squishy. It smelled like baby powder, or something like that. It had a unique scent.

Before I knew it, my index finger was touching her slit. I rubbed the surface of her slit before going inside. I carefully inserted just the tip of my finger, making sure not to tear her hymen.

“Uhn…”

The tightening walls of her vagina and her warm body temperature. She was moaning softly, as if she could feel it even in her sleep.

Yet, she didn’t open her eyes. Cursed by the Baektak, she wouldn’t wake up from anything ordinary. I heard that she wouldn’t even wake up if you slapped her cheeks until they were red and swollen.

In other words, there was a high chance she wouldn’t wake up even if I tore her hymen now.

‘Should I just take her? Or not?’

I slowly moved my finger. My index finger, and only the tip of it, but Park Gain’s body reacted as if she were awake. Her legs twitched, and her slit became increasingly wet.

“Haa, uhhh, uhhhhh…!”

Park Gain’s waist heaved violently before falling back down. I pulled my index finger out of her slit. A clear liquid was on the tip of my finger.

“Haa, huh…”

I poked her cheeks, which were flushed with a feverish breath. I thought she was awake, but she was still asleep.

‘If she were awake, I might have taken her.’

Since she was asleep, let’s just let it go.

I started to put Park Gain’s clothes back on. As I did, I felt like her body was more sensitive than when I had seen her before.

‘Huh?’

I discovered a tattoo that had appeared on her pure white back.

At first glance, it looked like a wing. Looking at it a little more closely, it was similar to the Tree of Sephirot.

‘It’s similar, but not the same. It also looks like Yggdrasil from Norse mythology….’

I blinked for a moment, and the tattoo disappeared. Park Gain’s back was clean, with nothing on it. Still, I didn’t doubt what I had seen. This was probably a sign of awakening.

‘It’s a completely different tattoo from Park Suho’s. Do the tattoos differ for each hero? Then their abilities must be different too?’

What was certain was that she would awaken soon.

Or maybe she had already awakened.

[You have selected the Path of Ascending Light.]

[The game begins.]

I came to the world of the Path of Ascending Light. And 30 years had passed.

Well, it wasn’t like I actually spent 30 years in the world of the Path of Ascending Light. There was automatic progression. There were no special events, so I started automatic progression, and it just happened to be 30 years. Because of the nature of the world, nothing much had changed even after 30 years.

In this world, events occurred slowly, regardless of time. This was probably because the base world was Xianxia.

The war between the Demonic Cult and the Martial Alliance? It hadn’t ended. It was still ongoing. It just wasn’t intense.

‘The Demonic Cult and the Martial Alliance have always been at war. In terms of time, it’s been over a thousand years.’

This could only be attributed to the influence of the Xianxia world. Having officially become the successor of the Demonic Cult, the Little Heavenly Demon, I was officially focused on training. And I actually was. Every time I did automatic progression, I was holed up in the training room.

‘The training effects gained through automatic progression are almost non-existent, though.’

I finished automatic progression and went up to Mount Nakwol.

I met Wi Yu. She was wearing old red sweatpants and cooking ramen. She had three-striped slippers on her feet. Just by her appearance, she looked like a beautiful unemployed woman.

‘Since she’s a woman, is she a swan?’

Wi Yu looked at me. Her eyes were calm.

“It’s been a while, disciple. I was just about to run out of ramen. You came at the right time. Oh, and the boiler seems to be broken. Fix it.”

“……It’s been a while, Master. How should I say this? You’ve become more modern while I was gone.”

“Living like this, I’ve realized that comfort is the best.”

Wi Yu said shamelessly. I was sure that she had always dressed neatly before she met me….

‘No. This isn’t my fault, it’s Miryeong’s fault.’

It was because Miryeong, who was obsessed with modern things, had taught Wi Yu all sorts of things.

“Where’s Miryeong? Is she still training?”

“Yes. She hasn’t come out of the cave. It’s been 20 years now.”

Miryeong had focused on closed-door training 20 years ago. She said that she had found a clue to the Creation Realm while researching sorcery.

“It’s been 20 years, and she hasn’t come out… Isn’t there a problem?”

“I’ve checked on her from time to time. She’s focused on her training. It’s an important moment for her, so don’t go and disturb her.”

I missed Miryeong’s vagina sometimes, but I had no intention of disturbing her training for that.

“What about Seol? I don’t sense Seol’s presence either. She should have been here to greet me.”

“Ah, Seol went back to the Namgung Clan with her older sister about two months ago. She’ll be back in a few years.”

“So, it’s just me and Master in this house right now.”

“Yes.”

Wi Yu nodded as if it were nothing.

She still didn’t seem to see me as a man. I wanted to pounce on her, but… I’d probably be the one to die.

Slurp.

She ate ramen while watching TV. Watching her slurp noodles with kimchi while watching Korean dramas, she was no different from a Korean.

“Master, do you have any plans to go outside?”

“No.”

“…You used to go out sometimes, didn’t you?”

“It’s hard for people to live alone. Even if you can somehow get food, it’s hard to get things like clothes and salt. Now that you’re here, there’s no need for me to go out at all. Fill up the storage. Especially since I’m having trouble because I’m out of beer.”

“Didn’t I fill it with over 10 boxes last time? You’ve already run out?”

“Ten boxes were too few. These days, my only joy is watching dramas and drinking beer.”

“……”

Wi Yu seemed to have fallen into a degenerate state. I didn’t know if this was a good thing or not.

Anyway, I filled the storage with food as she wanted. I saw that there was no beef or pork, so I added those as well. This was a storage that Miryeong had created with sorcery, so the food wouldn’t spoil easily.

I also checked the broken boiler. I didn’t know what was broken, so I replaced it with the same one. Simple replacement wasn’t difficult.

“Master, I’ll change your clothes too. May I go into your room?”

“Yes.”

Wi Yu’s room was simple. A bed, a wardrobe, and a dressing table were all there was. The cosmetics on the dressing table were all past their expiration date. There were traces of them being used.

‘I need to replace everything, starting with the furniture.’

The wardrobe door rattled, and the bed had lost its spring. It had been used for 30 years, so it was a wonder it hadn’t broken. It looked clean on the outside, so it seemed like she was doing a good job of cleaning.

I replaced all the furniture and checked the clothes.

If the furniture was old, wouldn’t the clothes be old too? Some of her underwear was already torn and mended.

I picked up a bra and stared at it. H-cup. Still big. I also saw her panties and unconsciously smelled them. It only smelled of fragrant detergent.

I replaced all her clothes and underwear with new ones. The size was similar to Han Harin’s. They were both H-cups, after all.

I also repaired various parts of the house. It was originally Miryeong’s job, but Miryeong was holed up in a cave, training.

“You’ve done well. Has your skill improved in the meantime?”

“I’m now a master who has reached the Three Essences.”

“Don’t be satisfied with just that. You can go higher. The Three Essences is just the starting point.”

“…I haven’t grown at all from that starting point, though.”

Wi Yu chuckled softly. It wasn’t a mocking tone. It seemed like she was enjoying the conversation itself.

“Is that why you came after so long? To find a clue to growth?”

“Yes. I’ve focused on closed-door training, but… I haven’t gained anything. I never thought I’d be stuck here.”

It wasn’t like I had trained myself, it was automatic progression.

“If there is no answer inside, look for the answer outside. It might help to put down your weapon for a while and focus on other things. Especially in the case of the Three Essences.”

“What does that mean?”

“The Three Essences is the realm of perceiving the mind. It is the realm of facing one’s own life, one’s own existence, one’s own self. At times like this, it’s good to experience many things.”

“Did you experience many things when you were in the realm of the Three Essences, Master?”

“Yes. That’s when I went out into the martial world. I tried to experience many things. I even put down my sword for a while. But what’s important is relationships with people. Well, you’ve already achieved a lot in the secular world without me telling you… My advice might not be necessary.”

“Do you regret your past, Master?”

“……Well.”

As always, Wi Yu was ambiguous about her past.
