Sleepman of a Ruined World 794

Chapter 794 – 794. Time

You might think that living for a long time would be boring, but that’s not the case at all.

There are so many things that humans have left behind in the world.

Culture, art, science… And many more.

It’s a legacy that humans have developed over hundreds or thousands of years, right?

Time flies just by looking at those things.

But I’m interested in something else.

Traces of a person’s life. The story of the empty house and those left there.

A house that has been torn down and eroded by plants is examined through object memory reading and the state is restored to the state before the world collapsed.

A house that goes back over a hundred years.

A place so clean that it looks like the owners of this house will return at any moment.

According to the object memory reading earlier, there was a child in this house.

There was a boy about four years old.

Perhaps that’s why there are several transforming combined robots placed on the living room floor.

I picked it up. A robot with better quality than expected.

I don’t know where the robot came from, but it’s a toy that can transform a car into a robot and combine them into a large robot.

That’s funny. Even at this age, I still like this combination of transformation robots.

I guess I’m a guy that can’t be helped. Seeing that he is still like this even though he is over 200 years old.

I sit on the sofa in the living room and write the object memory reading again.

I entered the memory of an ordinary home and looked around.

The boy’s mother cooks and the boy laughs happily next to her.

The child’s mother may be annoyed by her son who keeps interrupting her, but she takes care of him well and cooks the rice and side dishes.

I wish it had a smell too. It would have been great if I could have smelled the rice being cooked.

I heard the front door open and a girl came in! He comes in shouting loudly.

About ten years old? I think it’s a bit more than that.

The boy approaches the girl, who appears to be her older sister, with her own transforming robot and shows off her robot.

A girl who finds that cute.

After patting her head once, he went to his room, took off her bag, came out, and started playing with her younger brother.

A picture of an extremely ordinary family. And I am inside, peeking at it.

Of course, this is just a memory.

If you were actually watching like this, you would be such a pervert that it would give you goosebumps.

But what… It doesn’t seem easy to steal the past like this.

No matter what happens, the fact that it is an insidious act remains the same, right? It’s just a small difference.

The sun sets and someone comes into the front door again. A man who can clearly be seen as a father to children.

The son runs to his father screaming and is told not to run, but he doesn’t even listen.

The daughter also says hello to her father, and the father goes back to the living room and tells the child’s mother, who is preparing a meal, that he has been there.

Although he responds indifferently, there is hidden love and affection hidden inside.

The sound of a shower was heard and the child’s father came out dressed in simple clothes and sat down on the sofa.

The man sitting next to me. Of course, it’s not the same space, but it’s very awkward.

I slowly moved one step to the side and my son came up and was hugged by his father.

The boy is saying something, but I can’t understand a word.

But my father seems to understand everything.

They agree and even ask questions.

The boy is excited and keeps talking.

I think he’s probably using all the vocabulary he knows.

Do you really want to tell your dad something?

He’s a boy, but he’s pretty cute. Surprisingly.

But that didn’t last more than 10 minutes.

The son who lost interest in his father went to his sister’s room, and the father lay down on the sofa, turned on his TV, and looked at his smartphone.

After a while, the family members all go to the table and sit down when the child’s mother calls.

Ordinary table, ordinary dinner menu.

A family of four who gather together and eat like that.

In the meantime, I have seen countless memories of this house.

Of course, not all situations are the same.

In some families there were dual incomes, and in others there were grandmothers or grandfathers.

The size of the house, standard of living, and number of family members. Although those things have changed, they have one thing in common.

Happiness.

They are happy.

Even if they are angry or irritated right now, they lived a happy life.

After reading the object memory, I leave the house.

There weren’t only people like that in the world. Not everyone is happy and relaxed.

But I didn’t read the memories of those houses.

Because I only want to see good things. I don’t really want to see you looking depressed and miserable.

You’ve experienced that a lot, right? There is no need to remind me again.

Nothing makes time pass by better than stealing a glimpse into other people’s happy lives.

There is no need to look for movies or dramas. Life itself is a movie and a drama.

However, the running time is a little long. If a movie lasts about two hours, life spans decades.

It doesn’t matter though. There’s nothing wrong with spending time just looking at that.

There’s infinite content you can do in this boring world, right? Sometimes there are a lot of boring scenes.

Anyway, if you want to see something provocative, you can go to a hotel or motel.

There is no need for porn. You can enjoy it live by just going and reading the object memories.

But it has a bit of a gambling feel to it.

Unfortunately, there aren’t that many situations where a pretty woman with a nice body has sex.

But I also gained some know-how, so I discovered a lot of points with pretty women.

Whether it’s near a club or a studio near a university… Well, places like that anyway.

Ah. I miss Seunghee. I have to go see Seunghee.

I would hate it if you interrupted me while I was concentrating.

Well, you just have to wait. You have that much sense, right?

If I show up at the right time, they’ll catch me watching, so I’ll just have to keep an eye on them.

Time goes by incredibly quickly again.

300 years since the world fell. Fortunately, everyone is still living well without any problems.

Does it make you think that humans may be greater than you think?

I think it’s true that if there is no loss to the body, the mind can also remain intact.

To be honest, wouldn’t it be okay to ascend now? I think so.

There’s no particular problem, but you’re a bit curious, right? What on earth will happen?

But I can’t do it already when nothing much has happened yet.

When I play a game, I take all the mobs and items on that stage and move on to the next game.

There’s still more to do, there’s no need to finish it already.

Time passes again.

A guy who takes care of things without having to do anything.

Is there any way to stop time? No matter how much I search for skill combinations, there are no skills related to time.

You can manipulate space but not time.

Even those who made the world like this can’t do something about time? That could be possible.

I’m not sure though.

The biggest change that happened to me recently is that I deleted status recovery.

I didn’t know what would happen, so I stayed by Seunghee’s side, fully prepared, and erased the condition recovery.

The fact that I hadn’t been able to fall asleep for so long came rushing back to me all at once, and I made all sorts of preparations, thinking that I could sleep for decades, but surprisingly, I woke up after only sleeping for a full day.

And the refreshing feeling I felt. Perhaps because it was my first sleep in almost 400 years, I felt like I had been reborn.

If you think about it, it doesn’t make sense to miss out on sleep.

Do you know how many hours I will sleep and calculate the amount of sleep lost?

The short-term forecast was like that, right?

I could only see the future in advance, but I couldn’t predict what would happen randomly.

Anyway, the next day when I woke up from a good night’s sleep, I felt very unfamiliar looking at my sleepy self.

I’m so sleepy. I? Really?

I was lying in bed just in case… I fell asleep.

The amazing feeling you get after falling asleep like that and waking up in the morning.

I fell asleep right away when I said I was sleepy. Could it be that this insomniac has been cured?

I watched for a few more days just in case, but I felt sleepy every evening.

A normal life where you sleep when you lie down in bed and wake up in the morning.

Oh my god. Is it true? You insomniac bastard. Finally?

Even after about a month, doubts remained.

Could it be that I’m like this for a while because I haven’t slept in a while? Thoughts.

After a year, a lot of my doubts disappeared, but I still wasn’t sure.

After 10 years, I was finally able to be sure.

Insomnia bastard. It wasn’t a big deal, right? Was it possible to be cured if I only had to wait 400 years to restore the condition?

When you think about it that way, it’s not a piece of shit at all. Damn it. Okay. What do you think?

Whatever it is, the important thing is that that fucking bastard is gone.

Although the status recovery passive has disappeared, it doesn’t matter since it’s a skill you don’t need anymore.

Because there are no more dangerous situations.

Because I was able to sleep, I stayed by Seunghee’s side for quite a while.

The joy of sleeping in the same bed at night and seeing Seunghee sleeping with just-awakened eyes.

I can’t believe I can finally feel that joy fully. It’s good to be alive.

Thanks to this, other women took turns staying after Seunghee.

Now that I’m over 400 years old, I’m finally taking turns living like a newlywed.

What a bastard I am… He’s a guy with a lot of corridors.

When 500 years have passed, will it be okay for us to get together? I also had this question.

Is it okay to be fine like this? Are we really over 500 years older?

Actually, we didn’t live to be 500 years old, but maybe we were brainwashed by someone for living that long?

Since I have memory manipulation skills, it wouldn’t be impossible.

Since there are only eight people left, they can do as much as they want to manipulate their memories, right?

Of course… If you try to cram 500 years worth of memories into eight people, that alone would amount to 4,000 years worth of memories.

There is no need to manipulate detailed memories, so it may be significantly reduced, but it is still not an easy task.

But wouldn’t it be possible for these guys who created the world like this? That’s what I thought.

So we decided to live together.

If we are experiencing memory manipulation, make it difficult for them to manipulate our memories.

It wouldn’t be easy to manipulate all eight people’s memories consistently, right?

I’ll do anything to bother them even a little.

It’s all you can do.

Time continues to pass. It continues even when we don’t feel it.

We are like Voyager launched from Earth.

Even at this very moment, a probe is making a long voyage toward the outer solar system at an incredible speed.

I liked Voyager.

Our age has been increasing since the world collapsed.

The distance between Earth and Voyager has been increasing ever since it left Earth.

I feel a strange sense of kinship there.

Voyager is sailing at the same speed through space where nothing exists but silence.

We are aging at the same rate as the Earth exists in nothing but silence.

Hmm… Is this a bit far-fetched? What if it’s forced? If only I had thought that way.

But is our time now about the same as Neptune?

The pale blue dot spoken of by Carl Sagan.

A photo taken of the Earth from far away near Neptune.

The countless people who lived in that pale dot he spoke of all died.

Their dreams, their hopes, their lives.

Everything disappeared. Where did they go?

Did it disappear into empty space? All of those over 7 billion souls?

Where did they go? Does it still exist?

Interest in space began to arise.

If you’re curious, you should try it. But it’s a little scary.

But it’s okay. Because I have a lot of time.

There is skill and time. There’s nothing more to see on Earth. I’m going to go into space.

Search, study, learn, and use related knowledge.

They returned and prepared the necessary items and eventually attempted to go out into space under their own power for the first time in 200 years.

It was very complicated and difficult, and I went through a lot of hardships, but the bottom line is, I didn’t get to go into space.

Really… This is absurd. It feels like my 200 years have flown by.

If you go beyond a certain distance from the Earth, you cannot use the skill.

Roughly 80 kilometers with the thermosphere? If you leave that area, the skill will not be used.

If I had tried to do something with just skills without any preparation, I would probably have died.

I’m glad I didn’t go out to a place where I couldn’t use my skills.

What if I go out of that range and all the skills on me are released?

Wow. It’s scary just to imagine it. It can’t be anything but terrible.

My space exploration plans are in vain. It’s sad.

Still, are you glad you found something?

Did you know that the people who ruined the world are using their skills to prevent humans from leaving the Earth?

But why did that happen? Is that their limit? This gives me something to think about again.
