Episode 97
6 years, what’s wrong?
This time, I could tell right away that this wasn’t a joke.
The scenery outside the castle gate was filled with corpses, leaving no room to step. I thought it wouldn’t be just a day or two.
Every day like that, for six whole years.
He was blocking a wave of monsters alone? Geo was amazed. No, more than that.
“There is a limit to how much you can do.”
I was annoyed.
A cold voice. It stood out as much as the weight of the silence that had fallen.
Everyone’s gaze turns to the white bird in awe or horror.
Two people with a campfire in the middle.
Even though they were in front of the same temperature, the contrast was clear. Geo’s eyes turned coldly towards the white bird.
“Even if the concept of time inside and outside is different, don’t you think that six years must have passed outside as well? Don’t you even consider the people waiting for you?”
The backs of the family who couldn’t leave the front door, the back of Choi Da-wit who supported the weight of Seorak alone.
The backs of those who could do nothing but wait came to mind one by one.
“Yes. I understand that the humans here aren’t just NPCs. These guys are also living beings, and they’re all precious human beings. But don’t you think that’s selfish?”
I really hate the way they keep arguing about whether something is microscopic or macroscopic.
If you’re being selfish, you’re the most overwhelming top player in the world, so I understand why you’re so selfish.
‘He’s different from me.’
Doesn’t each person have a role to play?
“You’re the ‘White Bird’. You should know your place, right?”
“… … .”
“You have to be able to discern what is more important and what is less important.”
Other people were silent.
To be exact, I couldn’t interfere. Baek Do-hyun definitely knew this, and Na Jo-yeon vaguely knew it.
Who is asking whom now? This was the question the tyrant of the Babel era asked the gentleman.
“More important, less important… … .”
The white bird chewed on Geo’s words once more.
Even when the criticism suddenly poured in, his expression did not change. He simply responded with a calm, lake-like face.
“’Prioritize.’ That’s what I hear a lot. My grandfather always told me. He always scolded me, saying that if I chase after small things, I’ll end up losing big things.”
“Do not commit the error of being greedy and being greedy. Your Majesty.”
Every time, the little white bird asked back.
“How can one who cannot see the small see the big?”
“… … .”
“I have always been petty.”
Still the little white bird answered Gyeonjio.
“A person who is small-minded, narrow-minded, and simple-minded and cannot see far.”
“… … .”
“My name, my family, my people, my country… … I have always protected what is right before my eyes.”
A single-minded person who can only walk in one direction. The white bird of today was created through each and every one of those small and simple steps.
“No matter what my position is, it’s still the same now.”
“Ha. While I’m wasting my time protecting those bastards in front of me, what if the four people outside go to shit?”
“How can we move forward if we calculate every possibility and weigh each one against the others?”
For a moment, I was speechless.
Geo stared intently at the white bird. For some reason, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.
The white bird said.
“People showed up and saved people.”
“… … .”
“No matter what happens because of this, I have no regrets about my decision. Of course… … .”
It must be sad.
The quiet muttering of the white bird dispersed. It looked into the distance for a moment.
Geo also looked at it.
A white snow country, and children who have lost their names.
Mission Field on the top.
A place where each floor scenario takes place. No one knows whether this place is real or virtual.
Some said that it was obviously a gaming space. However, those who had experienced the tower even once thought differently.
They spoke with one voice.
That there are real ‘people’ out there. That it’s another real world where I die and they die too.
The old man muttered.
“It’s stubbornness.”
“It is a belief.”
The gentleman with the wall window answered.
“I can’t bear to turn my back on the person right in front of me in order to prevent a distant crisis. It may be foolish, but it is my belief and my small cause.”
The inspector puts no hesitation on the tip of his sword.
The sword was something that had to be cut the moment it was taken out of its scabbard, and the white bird was the swordsman.
The best sword of the three kingdoms, the best sword of Goryeo, the best sword of Joseon… … and the best sword of Korea.
From the moment I was born under all that history until now, there has never been a time when it wasn’t so.
“I see you’re stupid.”
“I know. Your accusations are justified. I can’t deny the word selfishness.”
“… … .”
“But to a prosecutor, belief is like a sword, and a prosecutor whose sword is broken is not a prosecutor.”
“… … .”
“You can criticize me more. But… … .”
A saint with an activated safe zone.
Instead of a harsh blizzard, snowflakes were falling. The white bird calmly apologized, holding the snow that had settled on her palm.
“I’m sorry. If I die today, I’ll die as a prosecutor.”
6 years. About 2,000 days, 50,000 hours.
The time when this stubborn and stubborn man stood alone in the castle walls to protect his one conviction.
I realized once again that I was a human who refused even the covenant with the stars, saying that I would remain faithful to the martial arts.
A woman like an orchid blooming in the frozen ground. She looks at Geo with honest eyes.
Geo looked at him seriously.
I thought at the same time.
‘The famous line from the order line has been forgotten… … .’
I can’t get used to this warm, almost hot development. It’s really a mess.
Has my life genre changed again?
Come to think of it, this is actually a forced rehabilitation of a dog-eat-dog Munchkin, or is it undergoing exorcism, repentance, or something like that?
Is this an atmosphere where you can just kneel down and apologize for living a wrong life?
‘The third-year student villain faints from the pouring beam of belief… …!’
The two orderlies who met their kindred spirits at the famous line that was like a will were already in a state of deep emotion. One side was casting a gag order.
“Your Majesty… … !”
“As expected, Hae-ta… … !”
‘Party formation is fucking a mess.’
Who did this? Come out now… … .
It’s not like there’s some sort of orderly gradation, it’s a buffet where you can choose what you want to eat?
From Bit Do-hyun of ‘I Came Back to Save the World’ to the supporting role of Heal in ‘Oh, Light!’ and now Saint White Bird of ‘I Saved Him Because I Seem a Person’…
I feel like Satan who got drunk and went to the wrong room at a karaoke bar. I feel like I was forcibly captured by the angels who welcomed me before I could retreat.
Satan’s best friend candidate, Jian Jiao, felt a strong sense of dizziness.
【inconvenient…….】
【No matter how much opposition there is, where do you pick these guys from?】
‘Phew. At least I’m not the only one who’s fallen.’
As Geo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the white bird spoke again.
“in fact.”
‘What now?’
“Even though I say this, I’ve been going through some mental conflict recently, but after talking to you, I feel like I’ve sorted things out. I think it’ll be easy for me to handle it for 10 years. I want to say thank you.”
“I, our Najojo-sama is that kind of person! He is so wise in every way that he gives us enlightenment… …!”
“Yes. Even though he may seem easygoing at first glance, he is someone who is not only what he appears to be.”
“Is your name Najojo? Najojo… … Indeed. I thought you were an extraordinary person.”
‘Stop it, you wingless angels… … .’
Leave the poor villain alone… … .
This is a collaboration between a fanatic who is desperately trying to sell his favorite product, a love addict who pretends to be objective but is actually a glutton, and the best Korean swordsman who is perfect for voice phishing.
‘I’m so grateful that the ranker channel didn’t explode… ‘
I absolutely couldn’t bring myself to look at Choi Da-wit’s name with my mind clear. Geo hurriedly changed the subject.
“… … Oh, hey, whirlwind. So if you burn that flower or something, everything will go back to how it was?”
“It’s not Whiba Whiba, it’s Whittle… … No, no. It won’t go back to the way it was.”
Na Jo-yeon looked up in surprise.
“Huh? You said it stopped earlier… … .”
“The oracle said ‘stop’, not ‘come back’. The oracle says it as it is.”
“Then what do we do! Is there no way to come back?”
“Mr. Jo Yeon.”
Baek Do-hyun stopped him. He whispered quietly.
“I understand why you’re surprised, but this has nothing to do with us. The external changes due to the special nature of the scenario are reset when you conquer it.”
“ah…….”
The only thing that cannot be reversed is death.
The white bird added.
“I heard that the demon has been asleep for about ten years. Given the circumstances, that would be the starting point of this scenario. So the rest of them would have been at most ten years. Even if they were cursed, they would still be alive.”
“Well, that’s a relief… … .”
Even as she said that, Na Jo-yeon still had a sad look on her face. She hesitantly asked Whittle.
“Still, even if that’s the case for us… … these people… … isn’t there some way? I want to help.”
‘Oh my. You’re being so kind.’
Geo clenched his jaw indifferently.
The children were sitting huddled together a little bit away. Wheatle looked over at them and pursed his lips for a while. His expression was dark.
“Should I say this exists or not… … .”
“Dwarf. Don’t be a jerk and tell the truth quickly. Don’t make Dobby suffer.”
“Jo, JoJo! How kind…!”
‘Where are you looking at…?’
Although he was shocked, Whittle shut up and confessed.
“Love.”
“……ok?”
A love song that just popped out.
While Geo and his party were momentarily confused, Whittle was serious.
“True. That’s what the story is about. If a loved one calls you by your ‘true name,’ you’ll come back. But as you can see.”
Whittle laughed bitterly.
By the time I found out how to do it, everyone had already changed… … .
“How can that be possible when you don’t even know who is who and can’t even remember your own name? It’s worse than nothing.”
“… … Well, it’s classic. Since it’s a curse that started with love, it’s only natural that it’ll be lifted with love.”
Baek Do-hyun nodded, saying that this scenario was like a fairy tale in many ways.
Geo stared at Whittle intently.
‘Hmm.’
“Does it have to be someone you love? A lover?”
“Well, well. I guess not… …? Everyone, regardless of age or gender, has changed, but not everyone has a lover.”
“I think so too. The key to fairy tales is truth. Perhaps, all you have to do is find someone special… … .”
“Okay then. Let’s give it a try.”
The standoff has occurred.
There was no hesitation in my steps. I ignored the gazes filled with doubt. I just kept walking.
Sabak, sabak.
Footsteps on the snow.
White breath appeared.
Geo approached and cupped both of his cheeks. ‘Jay’ looked at him in surprise.
Slowly, Geo smiled.
The playful whispers continued.
“Hey, you idiot. You heard that?”
“… … .”
“Come back soon, Rock.”
Let’s go home, Kyeonjirok.
My dear brother, my dear sister.
A guide to proper living for rankers.
