Pick Me Up-Episode 363
4. Self-craving self-strength(5)
* * *
The wind is blowing.
In fact, there is no real such weather phenomenon in this stopped dimension.
But Aaron felt that way.
Not far.
There stood a man.
The man's name is Ridgion..
He was the best Musa and master of Niflheim..
Instead of his usual black uniform, he wore a white jangpo.
What are you thinking?.
The man is in agony with his eyes closed.
I kicked a long sword in my waist dance, and I wrapped it in a cloth behind my back. I'm hanging..
This is not a haze behind the cabin..
Aaron had to walk out for a while to find a place..
A man was waiting for him in that bulge..
“You're here sooner than you thought..”
The man opened his closed eyes..
He seemed to notice Aaron's arrival..
“Sorry to keep you waiting..”
“That's not going to happen. I was able to organize my old memories in a moment. I don't know if it was years ago. It was right here. Where you played against your master.”
“If you're my mentor.…….”
“Don't tell me the story.?”
“Example.”
“Is that so?.”
Ridgion made a bitter laugh and loosened the stuff behind his back.
The cloth that concealed the object has been released..
A window of smooth gloss is revealed.
At a glance, it didn't look bad..
“Take it. It will not be enough to withstand your strength..”
In the thin air, the spear spins and flies.
Aaron was able to grab that spear close by.
The feeling was silent.
“Do you know what happened here??”
“I don't know..”
“Two men confronted. One was standing, one was on his knees..”
Ridgion said with half-closed eyes.
The man who was standing claimed the draw, but the man who was kneeling I couldn't accept the result..
“I didn't know defeat from birth. I didn't know what losing was. The same has happened since he was summoned. I could do anything I wanted to do..”
“I think you will. I've heard a lot of stories..”
“What do they say to me??”
“He said he was an invincible prosecutor who had never been chosen by no-confidence..”
“You're exaggerating..”
“If you know one, you know the heat, and if you know the heat, you wake up the cloth...... Sky He said he was a genius above..”
That was what I said..
In the world of radish, no one can rise to the same position.
In fact, the man named Ridgion has proved it several times.
There is a waiting room called Wulian.
Pick Me Up Account Ranking, No. 2 in the world.
It was a Ranker account with a similar phase to Niflheim..
Its dimensions are strong and strong, but with its unique customs and unique structure It was attracting a lot of attention.
A world that espouses martial arts to the extreme.
The people there live for radish and die for radish.
Things like magic and superpowers are just heresy there..
In the account of martial arts, your own skills and enlightenment have been polished for a lifetime Stand above all values.
The sub-master there is called Ryunju, and is called Tianhe First Mu He was a strong man of temperance.
One day, he made an offer that could never be to an outsider.
‘Follow me..’
He's not from Martial Arts..
I was just an international student..
However, the man who is responsible for tens of thousands of christians is a one-day outsider He proposed a place in the great history of Ryunju..
This is not the only time in the history of Martial arts.
Of course, the offer was buried by the party's refusal, but the rumor was The sound spread and reached Niflheim..
Even this was just one of the many legends of the man.
You can bell an enemy hundreds of meters outside..
You can jump over the ground of the Shim sword and split the dimension..
There were all kinds of rumors and speculation about the man..
Aaron came in from the training center for the saga of the man..
“Rumors are nothing but rumors.”
Ridgion shook his head and dismissed the rumor..
“He's a coward who can't stand his defeat, who can't spread the truth. It's just. Now thank your master. If I hadn't realized my lack, I would have poured this power into vain places Tej.”
The man's eyes see the distant past.
The Emotion of defeat I first tasted when I was born.
The man will understand the feelings of the opponent he has crushed. Could have been.
It's not just a piece of meat that you tear off when you cut down on your opponents, it's yourself and yourself. I could accept him as a living, breathing human being..
“What is Honorless Power?”
“I don't know..”
“Forces that have no direction, break and break around.”
Throng.
The sword is drawn from the man's sheath..
“If you're able to deal with power, know. Devote yourself. Strength without consideration, Strength without Responsibility, deserves to be cut It's just evil..”
Aaron won the spear..
Glaring window shimmering in silvery light.
Hold your position.
“Your mentor used to fight me. This sword, too..”
Ridgion laughed softly.
“So, how much slack can you give me??”
“You're quick to notice..”
Aaron scratched his back..
In fact, I caught the persimmon, but it wasn't enough to use it immediately..
I needed time to get it out..
“Get started..”
“Example.”
Aaron looks at the man.
Who has received the choice of Godlessness.
The man who gained the talent and strength he hoped for is right in front of his eyes.
How yearning and also jealous.
In the end, Aaron couldn't be like him, like his brother..
And yet only one.
There's something I'm confident I'll never lose..
Your own heart to be strong.
Pure longing for Power.
As a thirsty man trapped in an endless desert desires an Oasis.
As a desperate believer in the world prays to a God who does not answer.
I just hope and hope again..
Oasis does not appear to the thirsty.
No matter how you pray, God does not respond.
The original idea and despair are stacked together to become a mirage..
If you can make that mirage a reality.
If you can make a dream, an illusion, a reality created by your own longing.
Investigators Dream.
Aaron swung the spear knowing he wasn't going to be strong..
Because it is an act that proves one's pure longing.
Like praying to an out-of-reach God..
Like a desert passer-by wandering in the sand.
I swung my spear and stabbed him, knowing it wouldn't end..
For ever, he has longed for strength in himself.
“…….”
One day the landscape comes to mind.
It's the first dream Aaron Delkard ever dreamed of.
It was a memory of the first time I came to this world.
He didn't go back, even if he had a chance to go back..
Trapped in a maze of years for hundreds of years, I lost my mind.
I lost my mind, but the longing did not end.
“I want to be strong..”
Distant Past.
A young man is telling a boy his dream.
“You said that when you first came? I want to be strong..”
“It's different.”
“What's different??”
“Now, I've lost my reason to be strong..”
“He said he wanted to go back to Nina.?”
The young man shook his head.
If he did, he would have left when the second Dimension door opened.
“To help the master.?”
The young man shook his head.
He came here hundreds of years ago.
The memories and feelings of the existence of your brother are already beyond the River of oblivion I left..
“I want to get over the wounds of your heart.?”
The young man shook his head.
I didn't have the power to protect my family, and I ended up running away alone. Deep wounds in Memory.
I'm powerless, I've put my brother and my colleagues in danger, and I'm done with it. Another hurt that failed.
That may have been the occasion to realize the dream.
But now it's different.
“So what is it? Why do you want to be strong??”
“Need a reason?”
“What do you say??”
“Just, I want to be strong..”
The young man said.
“There's a purpose, not to be strong. I want to be strong, I want to be strong. It's just that.”
“Oh, yeah? I'm sorry, but I didn't have one or two kids talking like you. It was almost a lie. It was a false bug..”
The boy laughed.
“He said he was going to be strong for himself. It was all to fulfill his dirty desires. To lie down and laugh at others. To prove that you are superior to others..”
“I'm different.”
“Cor. How am I supposed to believe that??”
“How can I prove it?”
“That's certainly so. It's hard to be a man's mind..”
The boy shrugged.
“But what? Your heart still doesn't follow you. No matter how much you want, your dream of being strong can't come true. That's the reality..”
“It seemed like that. I've been trying for over hundreds of years, but I've ended up trying.”
“I told you from the beginning. Don't try, train..”
“Then help me.”
Willy-nilly, the young man spoke out..
“Well.?”
“You know. This is how I get stronger. If it hadn't been for me, I'd have been kicked out. But the master left me here. I mean, I've got something in my mind..”
“You're talking well..”
“If not.”
The young man said boldly.
“Please stop and finish my life, which is no longer worth it.”
“…….”
“I can't back down. You can't move on. Then, as your master says, you will be a revenant. Didn't you promise? If you do, you'll kill me..”
“……I did..”
“No, you were bluffing.?”
The boy's hand holds a spear.
If you eat your heart, the young man will fall down with blood right away..
The boy came face to face with the young man.
Then I laughed, no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no.
“You caught it..”
The window that the boy was holding disappears.
“Aaron.”
“Yes, Master..”
“How could a bird fly in the sky?”
“Well..”
“Was the bird a bird from the beginning? The people named Sarah can fly in the sky since the world was created Was there?”
The young man can't answer..
The boy was talking.
“No. There were no birds in the world at first. All the same, they crawled through the ground like beasts. But over time, a beast appeared that could fly in the sky.. Why??”
“If you can fly in the sky, isn't it because it's advantageous for survival.”
“Tsutsu, you have no romance. Wrong..”
“Then the correct answer.?”
“Because someone among the beasts, dreamed a dream..”
Boy smiled soft.
“He looked at the sky and dreamed. How good would it feel if I could fly in that blue sky. How happy. I was deluded by a topic that I couldn't fly. He was pathetic..”
A very long time ago.
A beast creeping up the earth dreamed of looking at the sky.
I dream of blowing up the sky.
“Do you think you're dreaming? I don't have wings. He's been crawling around the ground for the rest of his life..”
“That's right..”
“But, that dream did not end.”
The beast that dreamed is dead..
But the dream did not end.
“He left it to posterity. dream your own. Dream flying in the sky. Of course, what would it be like to leave? He was the same. He died miserably as he crept up the ground. Lamenting his fate that he could not fly.”
“…….”
“But the dream doesn't end.”
It follows.
The body changes, the memory disappears..
The dream goes down between the stand and the stand..
It stretches its roots with the nutrients of the name Sewall.
“And then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then, and then..”
They don't even know if they are dreaming.
But the dream does not end.
They are born, they dream, they die.
Up.
The name is just part of the system's judgment..
The true name of the power was called Eternity by the sages.
It is the instinct of life.
It's an endlessly leading song.
Its power was called the miracle of existence by ancient sages.
Why did the Universe make Life dream.
If it's a dream that can be achieved, it's not a dream..
Even if you make a dream come true, there's another dream in front of you..
Dreamers die in anger, in frustration and despair.
Up was born there.
The despair and hope left by those who have not fulfilled their dreams Take nutrients..
“So one day, when you get out of the long, long cave…….”
Maybe, it's close to eternity..
That time was a unit that could not be measured in a lifetime of life.
Countless lives live and die in that brood.
And yet the dream continues.
“One day, a guy who had a dream realizes it. He's got wings for himself..”
And the beast that crawled the earth finally flies through the sky.
This was the story of the birth of a bird that the boy told.
“Oh, on Earth, it's evolution with this thing, something to talk about, but like one. No romance. It's good for survival, it's easy to get prey, blah blah blah. You're flirty, you're flirty..”
“Master..”
“What?.”
“So can I fly in the sky??”
“Will it be??”
“So, too..”
“You won't, but you'll be " you one day." So, Aaron..”
Someday of me.
The young man soon understood its meaning.
“You have to die here. To leave your dream to the next one..”
“…….”
“It's not you who can fulfill that dream. You'll have the same name, the same appearance, the same personality, but obviously Maybe he's the other guy..”
“…….”
“He knows how hard you've been here for hundreds of years, and what You don't know you died while you were prepared. If you find out later, you'll think of it as something else..”
So you have to die..
The boy was yelling like that.
“Is it someone else?.”
“That's right. You have a different memory.?”
“If your memory changes, you become a different person..”
“The next Aaron can't hold on to your pain. So you have to bury those feelings alone and die..”
One day, the distant future 'yourself'will remind you of the 'yourself'of the present, but it is the same Not a character.?
I don't know..
The young man was unknown.
But I could see one thing.
That this broken heart of his should be buried alone and disappeared.
To keep your dreams to yourself.
So, the first Aaron dies here..
He dies without being understood by anyone..
He dies in frustration that his dream has not been fulfilled..
But he dies in the hope of continuing his dream.
“Master..”
“…….”
“Thank you.”
The young man laughed.
“My dream doesn't end here..”
“Yeah..”
“The next time I don't remember me, but the master remembers me..”
“Yeah..”
“Thanks, please.”
The boy lowered his gaze and said.
“Grow hooked. Dreaming of flying in the sky. And when you wake up one day, you'll be able to fly in the sky..”
The young man closed his eyes..
An all-embracing look.
Boy saw a young man.
Follow a dream that you will never achieve in your life, the fragments of life that have been shattered. Saw.
How many people came here.
How many people became frustrated with unfulfilled dreams.
“…….”
The boy had a magpie paw, and put his hand on the young man's forehead.
He then swept his face as if mourning the dead..
Whisk.
The young man falls..
That heart was no longer beating.
“See you again, disciple..”
The boy turned his back.
The young man's body soon began to dust.
This world is a world where the laws of physics are contrary to other places.
In this place,born of the vagaries of the universe and the system, time and space, Life and death are twisted..
The young man's body becomes dusty and scattered..
The Body has lost form.
The dust eventually became a black fog and disappeared somewhere.
“You'll be bored for a while..”
The boy sighs and walks towards the cabin.
It is unknown when the next'Aaron' will appear.
The never-ending dream, like a magnet for Aaron's body and memory, became dust We will collect and create a new shape.
He may have memories from the outside, but the memories he spent here are You won't know.
I'd rather be on that side..
So I'm back..
As long as you have a dream, you must come back.
The boy knew.
So the bridle continued.
How many times, how many times, how many times, how many times, how many times, how many times.
Only a thousand years can not cut their years.
In the world of Eternity, timed work itself was meaningless.
But even as we approach eternity, the years pass, and even in the bridle Dreams follow and stretch roots.
So now, Aaron looked.
I have seen so many people who have lost their dreams without fulfilling them.
Their emotions and setbacks, though not their own, were their I knew that the dream didn't end, but I knew that one thing was going on..
This is their stagnation.
No wonder, it's not human.
The dream was an illusion and a shadow.
A pure dream is a gathered crystal.
So you can do it..
Twisting the laws of reality.
Talent is to be freed from the constant restraint and to be free.
Aaron is already beyond the boundaries of reality and fantasy, in some concepts He is close to the elementals and gods..
Therefore, Up is buried in long years, and his existence is from the beginning What to Reconfigure.
Bisecting the despair and frustration of the past to add fantasy to reality Things.
Therefore, there is no law or limit of the world to those who have mastered the ups It wasn't a hindrance..
“I'm sorry to keep you waiting..”
Aaron opened his eyes..
A shadow of insidiousness bloomed over his whole body..
“That's wonderful..”
Ridgion answered..
A black aura began to gather at the end of Aaron's window..
That look was the mortal thing that Aaron had pierced Han's bifrost a while ago. It's like a strike..
A skill that could only succeed in the unconscious, Aaron consciously It's been done..
Boo-woong!
There was a sound of bees winged..
The shadows gathered on the window day shook in welcome light.
It looks like the stab you used at the event, but it's different..
The color of the shadows was much sharper and thicker than it was then.
‘Shadow on the Moon.’
Stabs by compressing countless shadows.
The power of the sting can't be compared to anything.
Any physical and magical means can stop this technology No.
I remember Aaron..
It is not known how many times his memory is.
But the master made sure to let me know..
I taught you the technique you will use in the future..
Usage and name of this technique.
‘Collect shadows.’
Aaron ran..
The extreme atmosphere of the window was sprinkled with smoke..
The goal is right in front of the man.
“Come..”
Ridgion's smile thickened..
Yeah, that was an ominous light..
The power of the boy who gave himself his first defeat.
[House (集)]
[Moon Shadow]
The tip of the spear, protruding like a shot, was directed to Ridgion's heart..
