Became a tyrant of defense games - Episode 825
825. [True Ending] And the game continues
Manor house. my room.
around lunch.
“Is this enough??”
I packed the last clothes left in my closet into my bag and stood in front of the mirror..
I straightened my hair, adjusted my coat collar, and looked around..
I took out all my luggage and found an empty room..
After slowly looking around my home for the past three years, I smiled..
“I hope you get along well with your next lord. My Sweet Home.”
Of course, it is very likely that the new lord will have pink bling-bling interior decoration on all walls and floors, but... … What can I do? please bear with me.
After taking one last breath of the air in the room I had grown accustomed to for so long, I opened the door and went outside..
“lord.”
Lucas, who was waiting in the hallway in full uniform, bowed his head..
“Are you ready??”
“roughly.”
Lucas carried my bag for me. We took the stairs together and came down to the first floor of the mansion..
“When will I see you next??”
“As soon as I finish my work in the imperial capital, I will head to the Principality of Bringer, where my lord will be..”
“It has to come quickly. Without the escort driver who always accompanied me, I felt anxious and wondered where I could go..”
“Hehehe. Elise is someone you can trust to escort you while I'm away..”
“He's not my escort. serenade escort…….”
While grumbling, he suddenly poked Lucas' side with his elbow and asked subtly..
“By the way, how was it with Evangeline yesterday? The story went well.?”
Then Lucas paused for a moment and scratched the back of his head awkwardly..
“In its own way… … I think the story turned out okay. Fortunately, we feel the same way…….”
You can see that the tips of this lingering gomtaeng's ears are slightly red. I whistled and hit Lucas on the back..
“Damn, I'm playing a bit.?!”
“Hmm! Then the lord?”
“Do you mean me? Huhuhuhu.”
I waved my left hand, which had a marriage proposal ring on it. Lucas nodded his head with an expression of admiration..
“There's still a long way for me to catch up..”
“Of course not, man. Still, I am the older brother. Shouldn’t we go ahead at least a year?.”
1Go down to the first floor and come out to the entrance of the mansion. The carriage on top of Wintersilver was waiting..
The employees of Winter Silver took my bag from Lucas' hand. I nodded to Lucas..
“See you in the principality, Lucas..”
“I will come see you soon. lord.”
Let's leave behind Lucas, who looks polite, and approach the carriage.…….
“……Whoa whoa.”
I found Elise, a maid with navy blue hair, sitting in the coach seat, frowning and growling like a military dog..
“Why are you sighing on this great day, Elise?.”
When I asked with a smile, Elise glanced at me..
“No, what should I say… … I've been waiting for the moment when you and your majesty will bond..”
“I did it?”
“Now that I see what really happened... … I'm feeling down.…….”
So, on the day of my sister's wedding, my brother-in-law was making a displeased look on his face..
“You have to make your master happy. If it rings, I won’t leave it alone.…….”
“Please take a look. You know that your master has a lot of tears..”
“……Then, let’s compensate for every tear with 10 smiles..”
“The currency exchange rate is a bit harsh.…….”
As we were making trivial white noises, the carriage door opened from the inside..
Serenade and body bag were sitting on the seat facing each other..
“Husband!”
“serenade.”
“Please come inside. The weather has become much warmer, but you still need to take care of your body..”
I approached with a grin and bowed to the serenade... … We kissed carefully..
Serenade's face was bright red and she didn't know what to do..
“See, there are many eyes, sir.…….”
“What now?.”
I waved my hand at Elise and Body Bag, who were already looking fed up..
“If you are dissatisfied, you too should date..”
“If you're going to say that, please start by introducing a good man.…….”
The body bag buzzed. At the same time, Elise, who received a signal from the front carriage, nodded her head.
“We will leave soon. There's a long way to go.”
“good. Shall we go?.”
Anyway, I said my goodbyes yesterday. I also finished my conversation with His Majesty the Emperor..
The carriage pulled away and I sat down next to Serenade..
Leaning back against the seat, I yawned profusely. I'm a little tired after staying up all night..
“You must be tired. Would you like to lie down, sir? I am… … Huh! I'll at least give you a knee pillow..”
“Wow, really?”
Is it okay to enjoy such luxury while traveling??
As I was seriously thinking about it, I was disgusted by the body bag sitting in the front seat..
“Can I get on that other carriage?……?”
“Of course not. What I like about my job is Black Sunflower Seed's first generation aide. You are my attendant, so you have to stick close to me..”
“No, that's really my name.?”
“Blame Crossroads, not me. Contests in this town always end up being a mess.…….”
Body Bag touched his forehead and began to think about his new name. A rodent-like name seems to be a specification..
While the light conversation continued, the carriage completely left the manor house and entered the city center.…….
“huh?”
A strange sight began to appear before my eyes..
“what? what?”
I was planning to go out through the North Gate of the Crossroads, but turn left and right as you head toward the North Gate... … It was full of people.
So, they were the citizens of Crossroads..
“His Royal Highness-!”
People lined up to the left and right of the departing carriage waved their hands and shouted..
“The last three years, I'll never forget!”
“Your Majesty is truly the best lord.!”
“Crossroads will always be wide open to the Prince.!”
“You have to come visit again!”
“I'll miss you……!”
Wow…….
An endless procession of people stretching out to the left and right of the carriage..
I froze for a moment, staring blankly..
My eyes grew hot and my closed lips trembled..
“……thank you.”
Open the carriage window, get out, and.
I shouted with all my might.
“thank you!”
To the people who have been my citizens for three years who cheer when they see me…….
I waved my hand and promised.
“I will definitely come back... … Everyone should get along well.!”
As the procession of ordinary citizens ended, familiar faces began to appear..
The leaders and members of the production union were waiting for me in groups..
“I was a frog in a well who was trapped in the outskirts, but I learned about a new world after meeting His Highness.!”
The union leaders shouted one after another.
“Thank you for showing us a new world!”
“I will always keep your teachings in mind.!”
“I will continue to work hard in the future!”
I shouted to all the union members who bowed their heads in unison..
“Thanks to your hard work, we were able to maintain our battle line..”
Thinking back to the city I built with these people, I nodded my head loudly..
“In the future, for Crossroads and for yourself… … Cheer up!”
When the union members’ procession ended,.
Behind him, the soldiers were lined up in an orderly manner..
For the past three years, under my banner, I have fought more courageously than anyone else... … The world's greatest warriors.
“The leader of the World Defense Front, the new Grand Duke of the Bringer Principality, the Crown Prince of the Everblack Empire, and the world's greatest war commander.!”
An old soldier whom I had seen for a long time gave a loud command..
“Ash 'Bonhater' Everblack To His Majesty the Crown Prince - Salute!”
chuck-!
My soldiers lined up neatly on both sides of the carriage, without any gaps, and saluted all at once..
Leaning my upper body out of the carriage, I also saluted..
“It was an honor to work with the world's best commander.!”
“We were able to fight and risk our lives because we believed that Your Majesty would build a tomb for us.!”
“Thanks to your guidance, we, who were clumsy recruits, have now become veterans.!”
“The hero who saved the world!”
“I hope that someday I can serve under your command again.!”
All of my soldiers lined up, regardless of their type, were crying. Everyone was shedding hot tears while saluting me..
“It was an honor for me to be with you too..”
I couldn't hold back my tears any longer either..
I cried proudly and shouted at my soldiers..
“See you again! Until that day, good luck!”
The soldiers answered simultaneously as if they had made a promise..
“Loyalty)-!”
As the parade of soldiers passed by.
This time, the kings of the world, led by the emperor, were waiting..
This was something I didn't expect at all, so I was shocked..
“Having created an organization that represents the world, it would have been possible to enjoy that power for a long time to come..”
My father grinned, showing his molars..
“As soon as the goal of saving the world was achieved, the organization was truly disbanded overnight... … This wonderfully pure prince. my son, bonhater!”
The kings laughed together. The emperor looked around at the kings on his left and right..
“Last night, we realized one thing. The fact that I have never properly thanked you.”
and.
The emperor slowly lowered his head..
“So, I'm going to show my respect here and now..”
Before I could even decline.
All the crowned people gathered here bowed their heads towards me..
“Thank you. For saving the world. And, it gives us the precious experience of uniting the world as one..”
“…….”
“This world owes you a great debt..”
raise your head.
The emperor smiled gently..
“we won't forget that.”
I managed to answer with a locked throat..
“It's not a debt. I didn't do this alone, we all did it together..”
After stopping the carriage for a moment, I got off and bowed deeply to the kings on my left and right..
“Thank you for trusting and following my reckless path..”
The kings applauded in unison..
Amid the applause, the emperor approached me with a grin and tapped my shoulder..
“Come on, go! The path you must walk as a young person will be several times longer than that of us as adults..”
Then the emperor winked at the serenade standing behind me..
“Don’t wait for the wedding invitation. I really want to recite the congratulatory speech myself.…….”
I approached my father and hugged him..
The emperor seemed embarrassed like never before by this unexpected skinship, but I hugged my father tightly and spoke with sincerity..
“Thank you for believing in and supporting my poor son..”
“…….”
“I will go see you often. Abama mama.”
untie the hug.
After paying my respects to the kings on my left and right once more, I got back into the carriage..
The carriage slowly departed, and I shook hands for the last time with the various kings who approached the carriage..
“Thanks to you, I was able to endure until the end without running away. I praise you very much!”
Valendo, the head of the City-State Alliance, whose burnt beard is starting to grow again..
“There's a lot of advice to give regarding marriage, right?! See you later, Ash!”
Smiling brightly with my five wives... … Mikhail also has bite marks all over his body from what happened last night..
“I will be visiting you in the near future on behalf of the History Foundation, Prince Ash! Let's have a very lively discussion.!”
Diarmydin still has a strong voice..
“hey! Of course you'll leave it to me to officiate the wedding, right?! right?! ok?! If not, at least sing a congratulatory song!”
Kelly Beydo is making an absurd request..
“I will consider the fact that I fought beside you as the pride of my life..”
Verdandi now shakes hands much more naturally than other humans..
“hit by a good wind!”
“Have a nice sail!”
The Rompeler siblings, who still haven't woken up from last night's hangover with red faces, send their sincere wishes..
“Thank you so much for giving us new hope.……!”
And Hannibal, proudly recognized as a king,.
Everyone who shook hands gradually disappeared into the back of the carriage. I tried to remember the warmth of people, the feel of their hands, one by one..
After the procession of those wearing crowns. Now in front of the north gate.
“majesty!”
In the meantime, my colleagues who shared my life and death and ups and downs were waiting..
“Thank you so much, Your Majesty! really… … ! I will never forget this for the rest of my life!”
Starting with Thorkell, who suddenly learned how to smile brightly..
“As blessings accompanied us on our journey so far,.”
“May your new journey also be filled with blessings..”
Zenith and Rosetta smile and bless you.
“It was the best soup, Your Highness.!”
“It was such a great hit that I couldn't do regular gambling anymore.!”
“Now I'm going to wander around and sing, so it's okay if I sing about the legend of the prince.?!”
“If you refuse, I will change the main character of all stories to Violet.!”
“So, shall we begin the story of how this body saved the world?-?!”
A gambling club where you talk loudly and laugh.
“Thanks to Your Majesty's consideration, I was able to find some purpose in life. Sincerely, thank you.”
Hecate and Glory Knights quietly salute.
and.
“Dyaboo-!”
Sid reaching out his chubby hand towards me, and Lily holding Sid in her arms..
I got off the carriage again and hugged all my colleagues once again..
“We'll see again. anywhere, in any way.”
After gently stroking Sid's head,.
I said that while facing Lily..
“Until then, everyone, rest in peace..”
Lily shed tears, but at the same time smiled brightly at me..
My eternal party members were waiting under the northern gate where the spring sunlight pours in..
“lord!”
“Seniors!”
“Prince!”
“majesty-!”
I approached the four people calling me in their own voices, and the five of us hugged each other..
“I was happy to be with you.”
All those adventurous days with them..
All those days of joy, pain, laughter, and tears..
It passed before my eyes like a waterfall. I couldn't hold back and shed tears..
“For coming to me, really, really... … thank you…….”
I looked around at my crying colleagues and spoke earnestly as if I was hoping for a promise..
“You must be happy.”
No matter where you are in this world.
we should be happy.
“Now go! Because I'm sick of saying goodbye!”
Evangeline shouted, roughly wiping her eyes..
“The beginning of a new challenge for you... … we will support you!”
Everyone wiped away their tears and nodded..
I also nodded vigorously..
“Good luck with the new challenges you embark on..”
That was when the carriage I boarded again passed under the northern gate..
Petals fell on my head.
When I looked up, I saw people on the northern wall scattering flowers from their baskets as my carriage passed by..
“be happy!”
With colorful flowers blooming in abundance, everyone shouted together..
“be happy-!”
In the rain of flower petals.
The carriage began to speed up..
One by one, my heroes who were walking behind our carriage began to run. Nevertheless, little by little, it gets further away.
“please……!”
Everyone shouted together as they walked away.
“You must be happy-!”
Eventually, the rain of flower petals, the people waving their hands, and the city I lived in for three years also appeared..
It disappeared behind a curved road and became invisible..
I didn't wipe away the overflowing tears. I just quietly watched my brilliant memories fade away little by little every time I blinked..
Like this, a journey comes to an end…….
The next journey begins anew.
“Husband.”
Serenade, who was sitting next to me, held my hand while she was also crying. I smiled at the serenade with a tearful face..
“Let's go, serenade.”
I held Serenade's hand.
“to a new adventure.”
As has been the case for the past three years.
There will be many failures, many falls, and many pains in the future.…….
Okay.
If I don't let go of the flag in my heart, the path will continue no matter which dark valley I wander through..
‘Even if another difficult challenge, difficult strategy, or difficult life comes,.’
All the hearts of those who watched me and loved me.
Because it will shine like starlight on the path I am heading towards in the future..
Believing so, I laughed.
Serenade wiped the tears from my cheeks with her gentle touch. I also carefully wiped away Serenade’s tears..
We cried and laughed and our lips overlapped.
The carriage moved without stopping along the endless road that stretched out before us..
Towards a new and continuous life, so…….

Author Review
It's from my childhood.
I remember when I was in the lower grades of elementary school, I would go to the arcade with my friends after school..
What I enjoyed playing with my friends was side-scrolling action games. Was it, was it, was it. It's unclear exactly what game it was, but…….
I liked the feeling of being on an adventure together because many people could do it together, so whenever I had some coin in my pocket, I would go to the arcade with my friends..
But why was it so difficult to defeat the first stage boss?!
I played the game in the typical children's style of 'I don't know about the controls and the system, so let's just pound the buttons and see!', but the road to the first stage boss was difficult, and even when I encountered the boss, I couldn't win..
We went to the arcade, played through the stages together with the few coins we had, got beaten up by the boss, and returned home again and again..
Then what day was it?.
It is said that even Seodanggae can recite good luck in three years, and as I kept clashing with it, I reached a point where I almost caught the first stage boss..
However, the boss was completely destroyed with only one HP remaining..
There are no coins left, and everyone sighs in regret.…….
It was then.
A big guy wearing a 'school uniform' who was watching from behind suddenly handed me a coin..
‘I'll lend you it.’
Now that I think about it, he must have been in his first year of middle school at most, but to my much younger eyes, he seemed very big..
As an immature person, I received the coin in a flash, and my character came back to life majestically, and was able to defeat the boss that I had never been able to defeat before..
I hugged my friends and screamed with joy..
Of course, as soon as I entered the second stage, the game was quickly over..
From then on, in order to repay the coins I borrowed from my brother, whenever I felt like it, I put coins in my pocket and went to that arcade..
I never saw him again.
It's been a long time since then.
Whenever I stumbled and felt like I was going to collapse, someone else showed up and gave me a coin..
The feelings of borrowing and not being able to repay have piled up inside me..
This is a story about a feeling of indebtedness..

Hello, this is Ryu Eun-garam..
The main story has been completed.
A side story covering the following story is scheduled to be serialized in the near future..
Since the main story was set to cover three years on the monster front, I would like to end it at this point..
2021The serial began in early February 2024 and was completed at the end of January 2024. In real life, 3 years have passed.
Thank you to everyone who joined us on this long journey..
Writing was a series of challenges every day..
That's because I first gave the main character a difficult task and then wrote it while thinking about the solution..
After introducing an unbelievably powerful enemy and problems that were not easy to solve, I thought about 'So how should I attack them?'.
Finding answers to these concerns during a real-time live series was a very difficult and painful process, but.
Therefore, I was also able to think intensely with the characters at the same eye level..
And at some point, the characters began to come to life and move around on their own, find strategies to overcome huge walls, and come up with answers to their concerns..
I wrote this novel with the feeling of recording the story from the perspective of the characters, who do their best to face each challenge, and all of a sudden converge and run in one direction..
The characters drive the novel, the story pushes the author... … This is something I sometimes experience while writing. I didn't have that experience either..
It was my first time experiencing characters and stories moving so firmly and with their own will..
3 years like that. After a long journey, the characters were able to come to a conclusion about their individual concerns..
This is how I was able to complete the biggest challenge of my life as a writer..
***
There are so many people I am grateful to while writing this novel..
First of all, Editor-in-Chief Kim Jun-young, a top contributor..
He personally read and corrected the manuscript and provided appropriate feedback each time..
In particular, the advice given at the beginning of writing, 'Focus on the relationships between characters', is truly the feedback that completed the identity of this novel..
Thanks to that advice, Lily and Godhand met each other, and it was at that moment that the novel finally came to full life..
Because the editor was there, it was able to be born as a novel, and it was able to reach its conclusion like this..
Thank you for your hard work for a long time. Thank you very much.
Editor Hyunwoo Cho, who was in charge of the previous work. And the Naver Web Novel editorial department.
From the beginning of the previous work, you encouraged me, comforted me, and guided me, and also helped me get through the series..
If it weren't for the relationship with Naver Web Novel, I might have given up on web novels a long time ago and chosen a different path..
Thank you always.
Series upload team members.
Always tight deadlines and frequent revisions caused a lot of trouble..
I think it will probably cause a lot of trouble in the future. Please forgive me with a generous heart… … . Sorry and thank you again…….
Author ㅤㄱㅛㅇ, Hajeong, and Eosi who draw webtoons. Webtoon editor and everyone on the webtoon team.
Thanks to the webtoon, I was able to become known to many readers. The people who created webtoons also gave wings to web novels..
I am excited and happily waiting for every webtoon release date every week..
thank you And I wish you all the best in the future..
Friends who read the pilot episode before serialization. Also, friends who consistently read the series while it was being published. Friends who supported me even if I didn’t read to them.
Thank you all so much. I’ll buy you something delicious… … . call…….
And, dear wife.
He has always been my number one reader, and he not only improved the quality of the manuscript with his honest impressions and sharp comments..
A person I am thankful for who always supported me when I was having a hard time or suffering..
Thank you always. I hope we can continue to care for, care for, and respect each other..
Lastly, thank you to our readers.
3Thank you for not giving up on this story and watching it until the end during the long series of 825 episodes..
Because readers loved this story, I was able to move forward with confidence. Because readers watched, I was able to not give up on this story..
was a novel that could be written because there were readers..
Thank you. Sincerely, thank you.
***
The follow-up story, which will cover the story after the ending, will be serialized after a short break..
The lives of Joo Yeon's characters, the endings each of them will face, and the retrieval of several pieces of cake that were not covered in the main story are prepared..
This follow-up story has been prepared for a long time, so I hope you enjoy it..
***
Lastly, I would like to brag about one thing..
Like the classics fan in the novel, I donated a small amount to the Korea Pediatric Cancer Foundation in commemoration of its completion..
The donation was made in my name, but the heart came from readers who have been with us on this journey..
When I was young, I remember a coin that an unknown older brother lent me at an arcade..
Just as the goodwill that someone else gave me whenever I was having a hard time helped me survive until now..
In the future, I will continue to find good things to do and try to share my feelings little by little..
I was happy to be able to write during this time..
I hope you enjoyed reading this story..
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining us on this long journey..
Always be healthy and happy.
2024January
After a long challenge
