Chapter 27 – Chapter 2: Phantom of Memory – 2
I was so shocked that I didn’t even scream.
The village chief was looking here with an expressionless face.
In that clear voice, you call my name.
“Ritz.”
“How did this happen?”
“From now on, listen to me carefully.”
“Father!”
I got up from my seat and rushed over.
Strangely enough, my body wasn’t there.
To be exact… I definitely hugged the village chief, but when I looked down, my body was no longer there.
I raised my head at something unbelievable.
The village chief wasn’t looking at me.
I was just silently watching the same spot I was in just a moment ago.
Like… As if I couldn’t recognize my existence.
“What you are seeing now is ‘memory’ and ‘the past.'”
“… Yes?”
“This place. Or, I am looking at an event that happened to this object.”
That means…
Are you saying that I am now seeing a vision of the past?
I finally understood.
The village chief was speaking from the past to his ‘future self.’
Just in case I found this basement.
The village chief continued speaking.
“You must be surprised. This is the curse that descends on Amon’s blood. Since ancient times, people have feared our blood relatives and tried to destroy them. However, we have lived by borrowing the wisdom of the past.”
“Ah…”
“Ritz. I have supported Brisden with this strength. No one dared touch me. For they were more afraid of the words that would come out of my mouth than of the king of Deseo. Long ago, the king of Deseo came to me and prayed. We will never touch our blood relatives again, so please do not interfere with our worldly life. “I granted that request.”
I thought it was strange for a long time.
Only Brisden has received special treatment, either being completely exempt from offering or not being interfered with.
I thought the village chief was such an amazing person that he was bowing down out of respect.
In fact… ‘This’?
“I have seen the fate of countless people twisted by speaking out about what I have seen in the past. It would be no exaggeration to say that the world has changed dozens of times. By the time I realized that this ‘knowledge’ that everyone fears comes with a heavy responsibility, a lot of time has already passed.”
The village chief said he lived a long time.
More than he has ever lived.
He said it felt like he lived about 200 years longer.
How many fragments of the past have we seen?
Ordinary humans who die within 100 years at most would have seen countless stories that they would never dare to think about.
I’m afraid.
I think I understand why people were so afraid of the village chief.
Because I’m feeling that way right now.
The old man’s face, which seemed kind, suddenly looked like an unfamiliar monster.
“Ritz. It may be too early for you. No, it’s probably closer to a curse.”
“Oh, no. “Never.”
“But I couldn’t help it. The world’s tempest will soon engulf this village. Ritz. When you are having a hard time and need help with your decisions. Then, unfold your memory. Be willing to listen to the stories of how ancient people lived. Then you will be able to get through it wisely.”
“I understand.”
You won’t be able to hear my answer anyway.
I nodded firmly.
“Finally, keep this in mind.”
The village chief’s welcome began to fade.
“Even if you read all the memories of others, all the answers are within you.”
Gradually, I started to see my hands.
“Resolutely… Survive. “Son.”
Good.
I came to my senses.
I just stood there.
Like waking up from a sweet dream for a moment.
This feeling of being thrown out into reality is unkind and awkward.
But there is no doubt.
The empty bottle in my hand and the still throbbing wound… It was proving that what I had seen was not in vain.
“Crazy…”
I left the basement and closed the door tightly.
The bed was also put back in its place.
A rough breath came out.
I don’t remember how I got out of the hut.
I suddenly thought that it was too cold, so I shrugged my shoulders and found that my whole body was drenched in sweat.
Haha!”
I hear laughter.
They were villagers gathered around a bonfire and drinking beer.
Uncle Marvin dances vigorously, and Aunt Olivia, sitting next to him, claps and laughs.
Everyone seemed happy.
I looked down at my hands.
The village chief has protected the smiles of these people.
… With the incredible power that resides in my body.
I’m tired.
For some reason, today feels like a long day.
I only had a brief conversation with the past village chief, but it really felt like more time had passed than usual.
The moment when you take your tired steps and go home.
“Ritz!”
Uncle Marvin gestured towards me.
It meant drinking and playing together.
I didn’t have the energy to do that.
I looked blankly and walked again.
“Hey dude! Ritz! Where are you going?”
“Honey. Just leave it alone. “They say it hurts a lot.”
“Oh my! Then, we have to pick up our young village chief and take him home! Hey! Ritz!”
Uncle Marvin came running towards me.
“I’ll take you home.”
And the moment he grabbed my arm.
“… Ugh?!”
Also, my body suddenly burned, and my posture collapsed due to the undeniable pain.
“Heo-eok-.”
The surroundings are flashing wildly.
As if lightning without thunder continues to strike without stopping.
I raised my head.
This wasn’t lightning.
It was a scene where day and night were rewound dozens of times at extremely fast speed.
Saaa-.
A gust of wind blew from somewhere.
One dark night came.
I am walking slowly right here.
Jeez. Jeopuk.
The hand holding the lamp was rough and had shaggy hair.
[Kkeok-.]
Burp like a dragon’s roar.
That alone made me realize who I was.
It’s Uncle Marvin.
The man patrolled alone and looked around at the surrounding houses.
Then, when the wind blew, her body trembled.
[Whoa-. It’s cold. Let’s go soon.]
My steps are getting faster.
I walk towards somewhere in a hurry, as if to avoid the cold.
It is… It was Aunt Merid’s house.
In the kitchen of the house, Merid was guarding the furnace.
Uncle Marvin grinned.
[Are you still asleep?]
[I couldn’t sleep.]
Haha. It’s this cold from the beginning. This winter is unusual. Can I warm up for a moment?]
[… Come in.]
The man closed the door.
Then he sat down on her steps and sighed.
Merid asked bluntly.
[Why are you sighing so much?]
[Because it’s warm. It feels like it’s been a while.]
[Joy. All day long, being held in Ollie’s arms, I felt so anxious.]
[That too is a thing of the past. After giving birth, you don’t talk to your partner just because you’re tired. Are women really like that?]
My aunt threw firewood into the furnace.
[I don’t know that far. Because I don’t have a husband-.]
[Haha! I went down to the village below often and haven’t found my partner yet.]
[What man would be interested in such an old maid? If this continues, he will grow old and die.]
[When you’re twenty-six… It’s a bit late, but I still think it’s pretty. The eyes of the villagers below seem to be dim.]
[…]
The two looked at the brazier in silence.
Perhaps because of the heat, Merid’s cheeks and ears turned red.
My aunt crossed her arms.
[Saying things like that doesn’t change anything.]
[Haha! Merid. You know that I am an honest person.]
[… That’s what makes me anxious.]
[Don’t worry too much.]
Then she suddenly grabbed Merid’s hand.
The startled aunt shrugged her shoulders, but for some reason she didn’t shake off her touch.
[Ma, Marvin… Last time, I was just drunk, so I skipped it… No more like this… To Ollie…]
[Don’t say her wife’s name, unless you’re at home.]
[But…]
[Merid.]
Uncle Marvin gently brushed Merid’s blonde hair.
[Beautiful.]
[Tsk…]
Her rough hands lifted her clothes and touched her voluptuous breasts.
[Oh, no… Marvin… !]
[Shh.]
[Ugh…]
[You were waiting for me too. After getting so excited and soaking it.]
[No…]
He knocks her down and licks her delicate body.
Every time he sucked her breast with his tongue, Merid squints her eyes and suppresses her moans.
How much did he lick?
Her white breasts were covered in saliva, and her rich hair was disheveled.
The man, who was panting heavily, suddenly pulled down her pants.
Merid’s blue eyes trembled.
[Ah… Marvin, please…]
[Forget it for a moment. To forget everything. There are only two of us here. Therefore…]
[Ugh… !]
The moment a man embraces a woman.
Meride held her breath and held onto the man’s back tightly.
Her fingers were too thin to hold onto her large, strong shoulders.
[Oh, oh. Tighten it properly.]
Uncle Marvin started shaking her hips like an animal.
It was a rough and intense movement.
Each time she forced herself up, Merid bit her lip as if to endure her pain.
[Ugh… Black…]
[Merid.]
[Black…]
[How is it? Do you feel good?]
Merid did not answer and covered her face with one of her arms.
A sound like a sob and a moan like a feeling, one breath at a time.
It briefly leaks out between the plump lips.
[Ah… Okay, Merid.]
[… Phew, … Ugh, … Huh.]
[Love you. Hug me. Please embrace me warmly.]
[Ha… Ugh, ugh… ♥]
Marvin sucked Merid’s lips as if he were eating them.
Even though she was resisting a little… She stuck out her tongue with a single tear in the corner of her eye.
She wrapped her arms around the man’s neck and accepted his harsh desires.
In front of a quietly burning furnace.
The sound of two people’s flesh colliding was loud. Chin. And rings regularly.
But no one hears it.
A forbidden act that should never occur.
Neither knowing nor seeing… The village is just sleeping deeply.
When we parted our mouths, long streams of saliva flowed from each other’s tongues.
The man licked Merid from her collarbone to the nape of her neck and shook her waist even more vigorously.
The moaning became louder as well.
[Merid. It feels good, ah… I think it will come out now.]
[Oh, no… ! That…]
[Accept it as is. That will make you feel better.]
[Marvin… Please… Do not do that…]
Married tried to pull Marvin away from her, but his large hands gripped her waist and wouldn’t let go.
The more she resists, the harder it presses on her body and holds her back.
[Coming out!]
[No-!]
Uncle Marvin was breathing heavily, and she bit her teeth for a moment.
[Pfft!]
[… !!]
Stop her waist and insert it the deepest inside Merid.
Her ugly, large blood vessels bulged with force and vomited out everything she had accumulated.
There is silence.
[Whoo-.]
After staying like that for a while, Uncle Marvin stepped back from behind her, and semen flowed from Merid’s gaping vagina.
She covered her eyes and lay silently, just exhaling her heated breath.
Uncle Marvin took her delicate arm away and kissed her deeply.
[I love you, Merid.]
[…]
Uncle Marvin got up from her seat, took her lantern again, and went outside.
Hwaaaaah-!
My eyes were opened.
The heated body was suddenly thrown into the cold wind.
Before she has time to come to her senses, Uncle Marvin’s shouting hits her ears.
“Ritz! Come to your senses! Ritz!”
“Ugh…”
“Why are you doing that? Where else does it hurt?”
I was sitting on the ground.
Ah, it was like that.
The villagers were having a festival.
“I guess I’m not feeling well. Wake up! “I’ll take you to Sherry’s house.”
This big hand lifting my arm with a gentle voice.
As soon as I felt that touch, an instinctive feeling of rejection rose up.
I got goosebumps.
Until just now, I… He was in that body?
