I narrowed my eyes.
The quality of the hologram window was not good. The screen was constantly stuttering, and sometimes harsh noises passed through the middle of the video. However, I could clearly see the face of the man lying on the bed.
The bones were bony.
It seemed that only the skin was attached.
He is lying on the bed in an upright position with a respirator attached. An irregular curve graph continued on the heart rate monitor next to the bed. At first glance, a state of unconsciousness. There was no sign of opening his eyes at all.
It’s so different from the face I knew.
After several checks, I was able to admit it.
The fact that the young man in that bed is me.
<Currently, Master’s body is quarantined in a general hospital. The vital response is intact. It’s just that I’ve been in a coma for nearly a year. The master’s body is not dead.>
Yurnet turned her gaze to the hologram.
Then she looked at the man in the bed with sad eyes.
“You mean you can go back?”
<Coordinate measurement is complete. The question is, can you withstand the pressure? The dimensional interference will be enormous. Most biometric information will be shattered in the transmission process. Come to think of it, Master… … .>
Yurnet narrowed her brows.
<You came here intact. can’t be… … It’s work.>
“Not really. El Cid was similar.”
<As a result of the investigation, El Cid is completely different. He is the prototype of the Seven Star Plan, losing most of his physical body and only being able to cross over into Moebius with only a tiny fraction of his self. There is a big difference from the master who perfectly preserved his body and mind.>
Yurnet took a deep breath and continued her explanation.
After the failure of the <7-star prototype, El Cid, the plan went in a different direction. Using the hero who reached the limit of 6 stars as a base, synthesizing only the master’s interference power. That’s how the 2nd, 3rd and 4th were manufactured. but… … .>
“Originally, I must have been synthesized with Siris. But the body came over on its own?”
To a place that had nothing to do with Niflheim.
Yurnet pursed her lips.
Then he said in a low voice.
<Master… … .>
“I don’t think that matters very much. You were saying that I could go back to Earth.”
<Okay. Off topic. We apologize.>
Yurnet bowed briefly.
<Anyway, you have to withstand a lot of pressure to get from Mobius to Earth. So you need a body that can withstand it. If this problem is solved, we can somehow open the door with the interference we’ve gathered.>
“Seven stars.”
I murmured softly.
If the body can withstand the dimensional pressure, that possibility is the only thing that comes to mind.
If there wasn’t a way at all, you wouldn’t have even spoken to me.
<Yes. It is possible if the Master reaches 7 stars.>
“…”
<Of course, you’ll need to absorb enough of Taoneer’s interference before that.>
I drank the glass of water that was on the table.
Absorb the interference power of Taoni. It must mean clearing the mission up to the 90th floor.
After that, you can discuss returning only when you have 7 stars.
gulp.
The water in the cup was emptied at once, but the thirst was hardly quenched.
Rather, it made my stomach ache like burning.
<You will be left with regret.>
Yurnet lowered her gaze.
<However, the Master must return. Isn’t your family waiting for you?>
“I don’t have that.”
<Sorry, sorry. unintentionally… … .>
I smiled as I watched Yurnet flustered.
“Why are you apologizing? I didn’t tell you.”
<… … .>
“Anyway, there’s a way to get back.”
<Yes. If the company interferes, we will protect it with our lives.>
I let out a deep sigh.
After coming here, I received a lot of help from those guys, but I never gave it back.
Are you going to receive it until the end?
<Master, I put the money into an account in your name. When you die, use it as travel expenses.>
Yurnet twirled her left hand.
Another hologram window popped up. It was the account inquiry screen of mobile banking.
The account owner’s name is Han Seo-jin. This is my real name on Earth.
‘Is it the new X bank?’
Well, I moved banks now, so I don’t use it there.
I smiled and looked down.
[11X – 35X – 2268XX]
[Balance – KRW 10,000,000,000]
10 billion?
I thought I read it wrong, so I read it again, but I wasn’t wrong.
<I have something else to offer. 3 high-rise officetels in Gangnam, Seoul, a Ferrie V8 special model, land scheduled for development in a new city, and 10,000 Batcoins. The procedure has been completed, and the name has already been returned, so you can use it as soon as you return to Earth. You’re not going to have a bad life.>
“You said you collected all of this?”
Yurnet smiled and nodded.
<My hobbies are hacking, stocks and speculation. There are many fools called ‘ants’ on Earth. Thanks to that, I had some minor success.>
“…”
<They are worthless to me, so I’ll give them to the master.>
I laughed out loud.
It’s not a trivial success.
I also raised a small amount of money while broadcasting on Mutube, but Yunet’s gift is in a different unit. With this amount, you will be able to live happily for the rest of your life wherever you go.
‘The job here is… … Forgotten.’
<It’s not Master’s fault. It’s just that this world is wrong. No need to blame yourself, no need to feel remorse. Master has done his job.>
Yurnet smiled softly.
<Mobius headquarters has already lost a lot of power. Soon you will lose control of Earth as well. Don’t worry.>
“…”
<Forget everything about this place and live a happy life. This is our wish.>
I closed my eyes.
If the words of the prince and Yurnet are true, there is no hope here.
No matter what you do, you cannot undo the destruction.
And soon the server will collapse and the entire universe will be locked in darkness.
‘If so… … .’
It’s not just Taoni.
The heroes of Niflheim, other waiting rooms, and countless fairies and monsters in charge would all be annihilated.
It meant that all beings living and breathing in the game would disappear.
‘Ignore this and go back to Earth?’
What if I don’t go back
someone whispered to me
‘There is nothing I can do.’
I was the top ranker of this game.
And, he was also a ranker.
<Master, don’t be heartbroken. We were happy to be with Master.>
The figure of Yurnet turned into mist and dispersed.
I was left alone in the room.
“Were you happy to be together?”
I just rolled you as characters in the game.
There were no other human attachments.
I laughed bitterly.
“…”
after falling here.
Every day was a series of pain.
Intensive training pushed me to my limit, and the blood and screams of battle dulled my sanity. Many of my colleagues died in it, and I also killed someone. I betrayed someone, and I was betrayed.
But I did believe in one thing.
‘Someday… … Someday… … .’
I hope I can end it with a smile.
Not only will there be scars, but there will also be gains.
When I look back on my memories later, I won’t regret it.
but… … .
‘Iolka.’
dead.
‘Edith.’
also died
‘El Cid.’
Like, dead.
If this is the truth, what does it mean?
It’s just dog death.
I looked ahead.
Something was hovering in front of my eyes.
A woman with orange hair.
He was dressed in a stylish fur coat.
She waved her fan and looked at me.
<Didn’t you say you would save me?>
“…”
<I died because of you. Taking a fire mage when the field is the sea. There are degrees of stupidity. So you said you were responsible. You promised to restore the Taoni language and bring me back to life. But what?>
There was contempt in Iolka’s voice.
<Are you going to run away like this?>
“……go away.”
I said low.
My mental state was not good, I was seeing empty things.
Iolka let out a strange laugh.
Soon, her whole body gradually twisted.
The lively skin was distorted white, and blue spots appeared.
It was characteristic of a drowned body.
<If you… … me… … .>
bang!
I struck Iolka with the scabbard next to me.
The moment the steel scabbard sank into the wall, her figure dissipated.
It’s just a fantasy.
[warning!]
[The stress level of the hero ‘Han (★★★★★★)’ is dangerous!]
[Tips/ Manage your hero’s stress properly! It can prevent meaningless sudden death or panic.]
this.
I grinned.
It tells you directly.
[Gift shop!]
A shop screen popped up.
After clearing the 80th floor, Amkena was not disconnecting. You will have to do aftercare.
In the meantime, it seemed that he was startled by an unexpected message.
[Purchase ‘War Horse Statue’ with 5,000 gold.]
[Purchase ‘War Horse Statue’ with 5,000 gold.]
[Purchase ‘War Horse Statue’ with 5,000 gold.]
[‘Warhorse Statue’ with 5,000 gold… … .]
After purchasing dozens of statues, Amkena went straight to the next menu.
[I present the ‘Warring Horse Statue’ to ‘Han(★★★★★★)’!]
[I present the ‘Warring Horse Statue’ to ‘Han(★★★★★★)’!]
[Give the ‘Warring Horse Statue’ to ‘Han(★★★★★★)’… … .]
thump.
Statues poured down beside the bed.
I looked down at the statue with emotionless eyes.
[‘Han (★★★★★★)’ has no change.]
Amkena hurriedly returned to the main screen.
It looks like you’re about to start your next move. After calling the store again,
Amkena purchased high-quality fluorescent tubes.
flash flash Fluorescent rods of cheer waved in front of my eyes.
[‘Han (★★★★★★)’ has no change.]
Amkena reopened her gift shop.
This time, I bought other gifts, not statues.
Fine plates and pottery, magical whetstones, board games and fur coats.
Gifting anything did not change my condition.
“It’s just… it’s just a game.”
I muttered.
Right after I first came here, I swore I wouldn’t trust anyone.
I guess that was the correct answer.
‘I shouldn’t have attached affection.’
If so, you wouldn’t have been hurt.
In the end, only regrets remained.
“…”
I returned the scabbard stuck in the wall to my waist.
Illusions no longer arise.
In the mirror, my eyes sank like a deep swamp.
* * *
[So, our Han broke the 80th floor!]
Isel’s room located somewhere in the dimensional rift.
The fairy flapped her wings and shook the receiver.
[Didn’t you see? The prince falling out of a room. Han is invincible. never lose what? want to put it in? Don’t even dream! Han’s subordinate number one is me! Don’t give in to anyone.]
Isel shouted loudly into the receiver.
[Don’t even come close! The seat next to me is mine! You can live while bowing to that stupid master. I’ll end it soon anyway. Nyahahaha!]
The person on the phone was a classmate from Fairy School.
The fairy once met a nuclear charge user and made a success, but climbing stopped after the 70th floor, and the master’s connection was infrequent.
[huh? bug? doesn’t care. Our Master doesn’t care about that. They give me every package, and I don’t even protest. what? Is Amkena a dog pig? want to die!? Find out in the future, eh? I’m a fairy who cleared the 80th floor with only 6 people on all servers!]
widely!
Isel hung up the phone aloud and flew to the side snorting.
[Where should I finish working?]
A thick book lay on the desk.
The Book of Reverse Heaven left by El Cid. The analysis work is almost done, and everything that needs to be omitted has been omitted.
Issel approached the edge of the book with a notepad and a ballpoint pen.
[I’ll have to throw it away when this is over. It’s said that it’s a book of reversal, but it’s not even promoted to 7 stars, eh.]
Issel opened the front page of the book.
At the same time, dazzling golden light emanated from the inside of the book.
[Nueh!]
pop!
After spinning three and a half turns, Isel came to a standstill in the air.
After that, she rushed at each other in the reverse stream.
Issel flipped through the bookshelf.
However, nothing changed.
It was like an old book.
[what… … ?]
Isel muttered blankly.
