Episode 90
Hong Dal-ya, the ‘prophet of the end’.
Geo looked down at her blankly.
Contrary to the grand story, Hong Dal-ya’s eyes were ordinary. Two black eyes. Just like the eyes of a human being commonly seen on the street.
“You said you were looking for me?”
“……yes.”
Hong Dal-ya groaned and forced herself to get up. Hong Ha-ya, who had been watching anxiously, was startled and helped her up.
“Dalya! Don’t get up!”
‘That’s right. Just stay still. If you hit me, I feel like I’ll die right now, you.’
While I was watching the twins’ tearful friendship as if it were a fire across the river, it was not the time for that. What Hong Dal-ya did when she got up was…
“What? Why is this happening?”
It was like holding on to Geo’s clothes tightly, like someone drowning in water.
I heard that he had been bedridden his entire life since birth. The pain was so severe that he could not sleep, and he was only able to sleep recently thanks to the Holy Spirit.
‘Why does that kid have so much strength?’
I couldn’t push or push away the sick child, so I just looked at him blankly, and Hong Dal-ya whispered.
“My name is Hong Dal-ya.”
“… … .”
“Hongdal-ya.”
Stop. Geo looked down at Hongdalya blankly.
A face soaked in cold sweat. Hands holding the hem of his clothes. Do what you have to do, as if he was appealing with those eyes.
‘I don’t know how you know the conditions, but… … .’
Well, I have to do it because I’m told to.

[Do you want to proceed with the documentation of ‘Hongdal-ya’?]

[Temporarily replace with another format.]
Chararararak.
And just like that, for a moment, my vision disappeared.
* * *
It felt like old black and white images were playing on a bookshelf, frame by frame.
The distance was vast. Geo watched it like an audience member.
“no!”
「… … .」
“Ah, no. Ah, please, don’t do this. No. Get up. Get up! Jebaal… … .”
Aaaah!
A heartbreaking howl.
Thanks to that, I didn’t recognize him for a moment. I’ve never seen him like that before. But it was definitely him.
Broken and scattered pieces of stone. Smoke rose here and there. Blood flowed like a river in the ruins where the wind blew gray.
In the midst of that gruesome scene, someone was holding onto someone and sobbing.
“Why don’t you?
There was no one around, and the fallen person was hidden behind a pile of rocks.
The body-slumped forward, the man muttered. He whispered as if he was groaning in pain. I love you.
“So don’t go, please… … . How can I live without you… … .”
A crumbling back. A person’s despair was clearly visible. Even though it was my own appearance, it felt so unfamiliar.
“I can’t do it. Not even for a day. Come back… … Come back to me. Okay?”
Her hair was long. It wasn’t the bob cut she liked, but it went past her shoulders.
It’s been some time since then.
After seeing that, Geo moved on to the next scene.
A pool full of steam at night.
The sound of splashing water was heard. This time, the cut was centered on Jianjiao.
Thump. Someone grabbed his shoulder as he was walking. The other person was obscured by an angle, so only a sound could be heard. It was a voice that Geo did not recognize at all.
“Where are you going? Maddog has prepared something fun.”
“I’m not interested.”
“Are you going? Where are you going?”
“Do I have to tell you my destination?”
“… …Kido is going to be in chaos.”
“Whoa, really? Get out. I don’t care if that motherfucker causes trouble or not.”
“That’s your lover!”
“That’s bullshit. Tell Kido. New York is the last place I’ll destroy.”
A gaze emerged from the shadows.
What he was wearing wasn’t the hoodie he always wore. Geo looked at himself in a black coat with an unfamiliar look.
And next, the snow field.
A blizzard is blowing.
It was black and white, so it looked like a magnificent ink painting. There was only one black dot on the white, blank page.
Hold on.
As my lips opened, the snowstorm subsided.
But the wind does not stop blowing. Gyeonji-oh laughs with his shoulders shaking. He is shocked.
“If you can’t let it go… … then you shouldn’t have it.”
An empty, precarious face.
Geo thought for a moment.
ah.
I’m dying.
That woman is dying over there.
At the same time, the screen quickly rotated.
A tangle of crazy transitions and cuts.
It’s dizzying, the moment I thought that, it was already reality again.

The document information was floating along with the completion notification, but he didn’t have the presence of mind to check it. Geo blinked.
“… … Geo, Joe.”
“……huh?”
“Are you okay?”
Baek Do-hyun looks at him with concern. His face is close. Geo realizes that he is supporting his back.
“I almost fell. I was surprised.”
And then he stares intently, lowers his head toward Geo and whispers.
“That’s what you did when you first met me, right? What did you see?”
“… … Did I faint or something?”
“No. He stumbled a little, but nothing like that… … Did you really see anything strange?”
… … Uh uh.
I saw it, I saw it. Whatever I saw, I saw it very well… … .
‘This is a problem because I’ve seen it too much.’
What the heck is this sudden change in taste?
Someone died, someone turned black, someone had a lover, someone went around beating people up, someone even committed suicide, what a mess.
Who is Kido and Maddook?
Is that the crazy dog I know? The number 2 ranked international terrorist?
Seo, surely this isn’t my future? Hey, listen. Listen. This is a bit much, isn’t it?
‘I thought he was the regressor’s munchkin helper, but he was actually a villain who turned dark and gave a bad ending, Rani.’
This can’t be real.
King Geo, who was crowned the final boss candidate in just a few minutes, panicked and looked for the cause.
But the condition over there… … .
‘No, why is he like that?’
I saw it, so why are you lying down?
Geo approached Hongdalya with a stern face and looked down at her. Her face was much paler than before.
[Your covenant, ‘Reader of Fate’, is disappointed, saying that you won’t be able to live long since half of your remaining lifespan will have been cut off.]
This was the first Holy Spirit message I heard since entering Ulsan Hongga.
‘why?’
[The Holy One clicks his tongue, saying that it is only natural that the ‘Reader of Destiny’ has so arrogantly violated the world law.]
The penalty of the world rate. That was the answer that the covenant gave.
And there were no more messages. Geo’s star fell silent again. But there was still something that Jianjio was curious about.
“… … Hey, Hongdal-ya, listen here. Come to your senses.”
“No, that won’t work. Let’s stop here for today. Dal-ya doesn’t seem to be in good condition.”
Geo’s eyebrows furrowed.
What are you going to do if you throw out a problem and don’t provide any solution?
But the arms trying to stop him were stubborn. Geo had no choice but to turn around.
“… … The future, but… … It’s the past. So it might not come, or it might come.”
“… … .”
“Is that what you’re wondering… … ?”
Gasping for breath. Losing voice.
He smiles with a face soaked in cold sweat. So faintly that it almost looks like he’s about to burst.
“… … .”
Young and foolish.
Geo stared blankly for a while and then bowed his head closer to Hongdalya.
Hey. Hey, honey, honey, Hong Dal.
“It was my star that told me earlier, but now I understand. If you keep talking, you’ll die soon. I can feel it.”
“… … .”
“I don’t really know what you’re trying to say, but just leave it alone. Honestly, I don’t really want to know that much.”
Geo bit his body. I thought he would understand by now.
But it wasn’t.
Hong Dal-ya, the dangerously brave dreamer, stretched out her dry branch-like arms and grabbed the hem of Geo’s clothes once again.
Their eyes meet.
And Kyeonji-oh witnesses the flames within it. They burn until they are completely finished.
“Go to the top.”
Hong Dal-ya opened her eyes, which were filled with fever. They were not ordinary eyes at all.
“Tower of Babel, go to the tower. You have to go.”
“What……”
“My younger brother is in danger.”
Those were the last words.
As if in a flash, Hongdalya falls over. Dalya! Geo, who was lost in thought at the sight of those around him shouting and grabbing onto him, flinched and stepped back.
‘what……?’
Seriously, what are you talking about?
The three commandments hanging around my neck are still silent.
Since Bambi’s return was delayed this time, I’ve been checking this regularly as well. I definitely checked it before coming here too.
Geo frowned and grabbed the necklace.
[The Three Commandments of the Holy One]
[━ Second User: Gyeonjirok]
[Location: Tower of Babel/Korea┃Status: Fatigue]
‘Miss, you’re surprised.’
I was surprised for nothing.
‘You’re surprising people. Huh? All patients? Mr. Swap.’
[Your Covenant, ‘Fate Reader’ is over there. My baby, this guy, tried to stay out of it as much as possible, but if you buy a product, shouldn’t you read the instructions carefully? I gently advise you.]
……yes?
It’s strong.
It was crazy strong.
Geo opened the item window with a trembling heart for some reason. The description was unusually long, ‘The Three Commandments of the Holy One.’
The fingers scrolling up became faster and faster. And… … .
Scroll all the way down to the additional options and you will see a sentence in light letters.
※ If the user is inside the tower, it may take some time for the status to be reflected (summoning is not possible)
… … .
… … .
‘Note: This is a scam.’
Hey you Babel scammers.
Who would capitalize something like this?!
The victim of the above-mentioned story, Jian Jioh, was in despair.
A guide to proper living for rankers.
