Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 400
◈ 400. [Side Story] Wish
Five months have passed since I started the Hell Iron Man Challenge..
741The next day after the third game failed, I cursed, turned off the broadcast, and fell asleep..
“…….”
I opened my eyes in the afternoon, well after noon..
A feeling of extreme fatigue weighed down from my head to my shoulders. I gritted my teeth and raised my upper body..
‘I'm tired…….’
I've poured everything into the challenge over the past 5 months. The game showed no signs of being cleared..
741one game over.
I had continued to play the game without wavering with a strong will, but when I failed at this point, I started to feel tired..
‘Should I just give up??’
That thought crossed my mind..
Honestly, I've done enough for this..
Viewers also asked to take a break if they were too tired..
If you donate the amount you received to the Pediatric Cancer Foundation, you can preserve its original purpose..
What is important is sincerity. who would criticize me.
No one was able to wake up in the first place..
Let's compromise.
Okay, just give up at this point and play another game.-
Wooooow. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
At that time, a vibrating sound was heard from the bedside..
I woke up in shock and quickly picked up my phone. The caller's name was displayed on the screen..
“……!”
An ominous feeling ran down my spine. I quickly received a phone call..
“hello?”
***
“Thank you for visiting and supporting our child so many times..”
Cafe on the first floor of the hospital.
When I answered the phone and rushed to me in a huff, the little boy's mother bowed deeply..
After the greeting, there is a moment of silence..
After hesitating for a long time, she slowly opened her mouth..
“After a month, I decided to send the child away..”
“…….”
“My body became too weak... … Realistically, there is little chance of coming out of a coma..”
It is said that the doctor recommended it.
His vital activity has become so weak that it is unreasonable to wait this long. I have to make up my mind slowly..
“My husband and I were exhausted, but more than anything, our child… … I think you're the most tired.”
She managed to smile. She cried so much that her eyes are puffy.
“I'm going to let you go while you sleep comfortably..”
“…….”
“I really feel sorry for Godeok. He was so supportive…….”
I bit my lower lip gently. I clenched my fists on my knees..
“……You said one month from now..”
“yes.”
“One month left, I won't give up.”
“yes……?”
“I will support him any way I can. therefore.”
I mustered up all the courage I had and let it out..
“therefore… … Mom, please don’t give up.”
“…….”
“I believe he's still fighting. therefore…….”
Even though I know it's irresponsible.
“……Don't give up. we.”
After spitting it out as if it were addressed to myself, not to her,.
I left the cafe as if running away..
As soon as I returned home, I turned on the broadcast. Viewers who had been waiting came rushing in..
- Goha~
- Did a shabby Godeok come yesterday haha?
- It was so busy, why did you turn it on so quickly today?
- Please play something else. Please play a male chat room instead.
- Give up... … There are no other games here……
- I will also tell you to protect the empire.?
- evil!!! Resistance period out!!!
Viewers were also getting tired together..
There were quite a few people who recommended quitting the challenge and playing other games..
Due to the long and grueling game's terrible difficulty, my viewership was down to less than half of what it normally was..
But I don't care.
“just one last time.”
I ran.
“I'm really going to a bad game..”
- Jjinmak? Jjinmak? Jjinmak? Jjinmak?
- Jjinjinjinjinjinjinjinjin×106 Let’s go at the last minute.~
- Discipline is coming haha I’m lazy ㅅㄱ
- Do you still look like this?? Do you still look like this?? Look at it like this??
- The true spirit of Godek is a dog haha.
- What was frustrating was the speed at which viewers were leaving haha.
- Stop Godeok!!! What lies ahead is hell!!!
I pushed the loud chat window aside and.
I took a deep breath, opened my eyes, and grabbed the mouse..
This game is terrible. Even more so in hell ironman mode..
But how light is the pain I feel now compared to the pain of that guy who suffered from illness in a hospital room his whole life?.
‘I know that my playing this game has nothing to do with him waking up..’
but.
I am a broadcaster. Because that child is a viewer.
'Cause this is how we've been communicating for the last time.
‘I hope my support reaches you.’
Staring at the unfolding tutorial stage, I thought to myself,.
I don't want you to suddenly recover from all your illnesses and wake up like a lie..
I hope that you will overcome the desperate battle you have been fighting all your life with your own will, not anyone else's..
but.
‘I hope you know that there is someone who supports you, just as there was someone who supported me..’
Just as your support gave me the strength to move forward.
I hope my humble support will give you some strength in your fight..
I wish so simply.
That's my only wish..

《…….》
In the ruins, Salome opened her eyes.
It seems like I dreamed again of some of Ash's memories that I read a few days ago..
《……under.》
It was so absurd that a laugh escaped my lips. Salome pressed her eyes to her own eyes with both her hands..
What a foolish wish..
Is it a small, insignificant, even childish wish?.
‘First of all, I heard a word of encouragement, and I made a wish for a little boy who was a complete stranger.…….’
The motive is absurd, but the content is also shocking..
‘what? Do you also want to offer words of support? Is that really your wish? That's really all?’
Speaking of wishes, they are much bigger, colossal, and greedy... … Shouldn't there be something like that?.
At the very least, give that child a body of Diamond Buddha. It is said to bestow the blessing of invulnerability to all diseases. It has to be that scale..
only support?
Just because I hope that the child wakes up on his own? Just cheer and that's it?
‘For such a small wish, I risk my life to fight in another world.……?’
I really don't understand.
Compared to his absurdly small wish, the risk he takes is ridiculously large. No matter how much I think about it, it doesn't make sense..
‘I'm not a complete idiot.?’
So I thought I should stop him. No matter how much I think about it, this is too much of a loss for Ash..
Above all, in light of the 'secret' discovered by examining Ash's soul, there seemed to be no reason to risk his life and fight for that wish..
- It's your wish. Really, 'your' wish is right?
So I provoked Ash..
Ask yourself who you really are and what you really want.
Just give up on such a small wish and find something else..
So that you can pursue your own purpose a little more..
《…….》
But, why?.
Assimilated into his memories from before, licking the surface of his emotions, Salome felt like she was about to cry..
That simple sincerity.
The movement of emotions that cannot be understood through understanding, rationality, and calculation..
The taste of the real heart that she could never have - it broke her heart..
《why…….》
Because dreamers' senses are volatile, they do not understand human emotions..
Therefore, we experience human emotions vicariously through other people's dreams and infer the forms of joys and sorrows..
He craves emotions more than anyone else, and absorbs other people's dreams and energy for that purpose. In fact, it is a monster that only licks its shell and cannot approach its essence. That's a dream.
《Why does it hurt?.》
Salome clutched her chest..
For the first time in my life, I felt sick..
Although she lived for hundreds of years and acted as if she perfectly understood and copied human nature on the outside, the Succubus Queen was essentially empty on the inside..
Something in that void throbbed..
why?
《…….》
Salome pursed her lips and lifted her hand to clap her cheeks! beaten.
Fighting. patter.
The sound of rain hitting the floor was heard. Salome stuck her head out of her ruins.
black rain was pouring.
Now, it was time for the flood.
***
“Just wait a few more hours and we can leave.!”
Sword Demon and Spear Demon nodded as they dragged a small ferry and placed it in front of the sewer..
Before I knew it, black rainwater had gathered in front of the sewer and formed a ditch. If it rained just a little more, it seemed like there would be enough water to float the boat..
“This road is not always smooth, so be prepared! Monsters appear, the smell is bad, and more than anything, we have to fight the darkness.!”
I nodded face to face..
A sea where everything is prepared. Isn’t it the same even if you go by land in the first place?.
Even on the ground route, monsters appear, the smell is bad, and you have to fight against darkness. If it's going to be difficult, it's better to take less time..
As I looked around, the rest of the temporary party members appeared one by one..
Mason stumbled and sat down under the ruins as if he was feeling unwell, and Salome appeared out of nowhere and stood next to him..
《…….》
Salome looked at me with a sullen expression and turned her head away..
I opened my eyes in horror. what? Whenever I stop by first. Why is it like that?
“let's go?”
Then I heard a voice.
Let’s look back, polite kid… … It was my brother. Why, the residents of this village who shared fruit and talked about various things..
Blurry eyes stared at me through scattered hair. I smiled brightly.
“huh. I'll come again next time. have a lot of fruit.”
Then the little brother sneered..
“All the guests in this town said that. And then no one comes again.”
“…….”
“I plan to come again because I have some good memories in this ugly trash town. do not do that.”
Little Brother waved his hand and walked towards the village..
“Live happily in a sunny world.”
“…….”
“The fruit was delicious. bye.”
Little brother disappeared in the rain.
My mind became complicated. I let out a long sigh and looked up at the rain pouring sky..
If it rains just a little more, I think I can go out now..
Soon, we can return to Crossroads.…….
“……?”
It was then.
Through the pouring rain, climbing the cliff... … I saw something of a different shape flowing down together..
It's like a wriggling fog, or like a colony of bugs.…….
“What is that.”
Almost at the same time as I muttered absentmindedly,
Patter! Patter-patter!
'It' poured down like a shower all at once..
An eerie malice spread everywhere, accompanied by a terrible stench. I took a step back, suppressing nausea..
This, no way……?!
《baby… … pee…….》
A voice rang out.
It was like the sound of thousands of crows flapping their wings, or like the sound of tens of thousands of insects gnawing their pincers..
《you… … I'll let you rot…….》
In an unclear shape, radiating clear hostility.
《all… … ! This whole world, with you……!》
master of plague.
Black Plague One).
Opener of wounds, shaped pain, screaming pus-
Raven, the 4th-ranked leader of the Nightmare Corps, let out a roar that seemed to tear her soul to shreds..
《I will burn and melt everything.-!》
Immediately after, a torrential downpour of plague poured down on my head..
