00971 Code Name, Zero. ————————————————– ———————-=
– It changes. doesn’t change
with a splash!
“Hmm… .”
As I settled into the steaming bathtub, I let out a groan. The water, which had already been filled with water, rose rapidly as soon as the body entered and overflowed outward.
I put my arms around the bathtub with running water and slowly laid the back of my head. A feeling as if my whole body was quietly sinking into a boiling swamp. This indescribable feeling that makes your skin feel hotter every moment… .
“haha.”
… Getting intoxicated only lasted a moment. I laughed out loud when I saw the dark liquid mixing and spreading in the transparent water like black paint. When I looked closely, I saw that the stains on my skin were no joke. If it reacts to high-temperature water like this, how negligent must it have been?
After all, it was my first time washing after being locked up for several days, so it was natural for it to be dirty. First, let’s wash properly. I washed my dull and matted hair, shaved off the grime, soaped every nook and cranny, got new water and poured it on thoroughly… .
After taking a bath that took two hours, my mind and body felt soft. When I step out of the bathroom, the whole sun-drenched world looks beautiful. At that moment, Im Hanna, who was waiting calmly in the room, walked confidently, looking like she had been stepped on by the beginning.
However, since he had already been pranked a few times, he had developed a tolerance for it, so there were no cute screams like before. He just smiled bitterly, unfolded the large towel he was holding in his hand, and wrapped it around my entire body. I suddenly became a mummy and fell down on the bed.
Im Hanna burst out laughing and began to carefully clean her entire body. And it didn’t take long for her to remove all the moisture from her body as Im Hanna grabbed her and shook her. But I lay there as if I were dead and continued to pretend not to hear.
Sleep well, eat well, and wash well. Plus, with the addition of soft hands, my mind and body became pleasantly tired. Like this, she wanted to hug Im Hannah and fall asleep soundly in her arms.
“Really, sometimes you can be this foolish.”
A slight scuffle ensued, but in the end, it was Lim Hanna who surrendered. He let out a long sigh, then took his clothes and equipment and started putting them on by hand. Hehehe. She’s coming. She’s going to be a really good wife in the future.
There was silence for a while. Her clothes are easy to put on. It might be difficult to put on her equipment even if you use your hands, but Im Hanna did it skillfully with her hands without a single grunt. It was when Im Hanna, who was quietly putting on her clothes, opened her mouth to put me inside her armor.
“really. Come to think of it, when are you coming back today?”
“today? why?”
“There is a festival this evening. I congratulated you on your return and also talked about various things… . “I was wondering if I had time.”
“… … .”
There was no trace of caution in his gentle voice. She spoke as if she had just remembered something, but could not hide her awkward tone. I guess they did that because they intentionally created a heavy and serious atmosphere in the restaurant earlier.
At that moment, a hint of mischief suddenly arose in my throat, and I relaxed my voice and spoke as bitterly as I could.
“I see… .”
“huh?”
“that is… . “No, it’s nothing.”
“Well, what is it? what’s the matter. huh? Is something bad happening?”
The constant touching suddenly stops. Next, an anxious-looking face stared at me, but the anxious eyes soon turned into a fierce glare. It was probably because he saw my facial expression, which was smiling despite my voice. I opened my mouth quietly.
“huh. okay. “I’ll come early.”
“It’s bad. really.”
Im Hanna, who narrowed her eyes, poked my cheek once and turned around. She stood up with a chuckle and left her office, holding the Zero Code in her left hand and Excalibur in her right.
The sky is clear and the sun is warm. The garden was noisy with Suna riding a unicorn and giggling, and the city was bustling with returning and revived users. It was truly a scene of lively daily life without any worries.
however.
“… … .”
Why? Is it because a strange sense of discomfort enveloped me as I walked to the temple? A while ago, he must have felt so happy that he even joked around with Im Hannah.
But as soon as I came out with the zero code, no. As soon as I faced the reality of having to face the end, I felt my excitement subside.
I don’t know. It’s neither sad nor happy. It was a feeling that I couldn’t quite pin down. He seems to be relieved after being chased for a long time, but for that, he is quite calm. Isn’t this the same as that day?
It was then. I suddenly felt something hard collide with my toes, which were moving in a daze. Before I knew it, my boots were touching the white stairs. The moment I reflexively raised my eyes, a dream suddenly took hold of me.
‘Should we celebrate or mourn?’
Soon, I heard an auditory hallucination and at the same time, I saw a man running up the stairs in a huff. That man was none other than me. He didn’t have fancy armor or a cape like he does now, and rather had a pitiful appearance, as if he had barely survived a battlefield, but that man was clearly me.
To be more precise, should I say it is me from the past? Because I was holding the zero code in one hand.
‘I was curious as to what your end would be like.’
I hear auditory hallucinations again. When I asked whose voice it was, it was a voice with a zero code. I only heard it once when I was meeting, but I was able to remember it because it had such a unique tone.
‘Go, meet, hit. and… .’
then. What is the purpose of showing this past? Is this an unspoken pressure to tie the knot quickly? Or is there some reason that I don’t know about?
‘Show me your end.’
At some point, I disappeared into the temple. At the same time, the dream disappeared. I stared at the temple in front of me for a while, then slowly walked away. Climb the stairs, go inside, walk down the hallway, and bury yourself in the portal.
therefore.
“User Kim Soo-hyun.”
Fifteen years. During these long years, he achieved what he had longed for and dreamed of and finally stood in this position.
“welcome. User Kim Soo-hyun.”
I can’t think of anything. In a daze, she rolls a small bead in her left hand. The summoning room that marks the beginning of everything and concludes everything.
“I will ask user Kim Soo-hyun.”
A quiet and beautiful voice rings in my ears. As I raise my eyes as if drawn, the gray brick floor comes into view little by little. And when the space measuring 30 pyeong was captured in the field of view, the movement of the eyes finally stopped.
“Seraph.”
On the rectangular altar in the center of the room sits an angel with translucent wings waving behind his back. As always, hands clasped together politely and lips slightly open.
“Does user Kim Soo-hyun want to turn back the time of Hall Plain again?”
Finally, just as I was about to look into the eyes, a sudden question came to me. Because of that, the gaze that went up to her face stopped at her mouth.
“you.”
you. This was just one word. Nevertheless, my voice sounded very cold to my ears. Even when I think about it, I can’t think of the time I was in the castle as the day I’m standing here now. Seraph continued.
“User Kim Soo-hyun is the user who has reached the top of the hole plane.”
“… however.”
And the moment when I asked myself a question.
“however… . “It’s not.”
Realized. What are the emotions I felt when I came here earlier?
“I have obtained the zero code I so desperately wanted. User Soohyun Kim is eligible. “You can achieve anything you want as long as your qualifications allow.”
It wasn’t a feeling of discomfort. Deja vu… . no. Maybe it should be called déjà vu. Oh, are they both the same thing?
“Return to Earth? great. If you choose that path, you can return to Earth with your current user information maintained.”
“It’s okay.”
“Staying on the hole plane? great. If you have the zero code, you will be the king who rules the entire continent… . no. “If the current user is Kim Soo-hyun, he could be something more.”
“not bad.”
Before I knew it, I was matching the rhythm to Seraph’s words. okay. It was like this back then too. Looking back, I couldn’t have said anything at that time. Because there was no choice, regardless of whether it was approved or not. Because I had no strength.
But now things have changed. There is now a path to choose from. I also gained strength.
It changes. doesn’t change I think I now know what this meant.
“I have something to say.”
Even though the situation may have been different from then.
“Is that the end?”
I myself haven’t changed one bit.
Slowly raise both arms in front. Zero chord in the left hand. Excalibur in his right hand. Among them, he rolled the hilt of the sword until it crumbled. Generates powerful magical power that flows along the circuit.
At the moment, the voice that had been quietly continuing suddenly stopped, perhaps because I felt a frightening surge of energy.
“then… . Unless it’s those two.”
Seraph’s voice pierced my ears again after a brief pause. Unexpectedly, it was a very calm voice.
“Does user Kim Soo-hyun want the annihilation of angels?”
It was that moment.
suddenly.
I burst out laughing without realizing it. It was just laughter without any reason or reason.
I laughed quietly for a while.
