1.
The abyss and the repeating time of the world.
Kazan, who declared that he would reveal the whole truth, caught his breath for a moment and then started talking..
“Like I said before, I'm a stranger born in a world completely different from this one..”
Is it because I instantly think of my hometown??
There was a faint scent of nostalgia in the voice that broke through the air..
“It was a peaceful place with almost no abysses that threatened the world, no monsters or demons. Maybe there will be strangers at the time, so it will be easy to understand.”
Those words reminded Ulan of Noah..
A girl with black hair and blue eyes resembling Kazan.
Ulan, remembering what she had said, looked back at Kazan and asked:.
“So are you a player too??”
“player? what is that?”
However, what came back was a suspicious reaction..
Kazan tilted his head as if he had heard an unfamiliar word. In response, Ulan briefly explained the story she had heard from Noah..
In a foreign world, through games, I repeated countless times, and even lived countless lives of people..
“ah, i understand.”
At the end of the story of Noah.
Kazan nodded silently. Just like Ulan finally realized what the player meant..
After that, he shook his head lightly..
“let me tell you for sure i am not a player Strictly speaking, it's similar to him, but it can be said to be of a slightly different category..”
“other class?”
“Yeah, in my case it was a book, not a game. It was a novel called 'Arsene Continental War'..”
Familiar words leaping from his mouth.
Ulan answered with a twinkle in his eyes..
“Oh, if that's the case, I know.”
“Yes? Are you talking about Arsene Continental Electric??”
“exactly. The game Noah was talking about had the same name..”
Kazan's eyes widened slightly at those words..
But he regained his composure in an instant, and he touched his chin and muttered.
“There are some differences in the form of transition. Still, seeing that the names match, it seems certain that the will of the stars interfered..”
Kazan muttering incomprehensible words.
Ulan, who had been silent, asked a question related to his muttering as if a question had suddenly arisen..
“But what is the will of the stars??”
“huh? Are you asking because you don't know?”
“I'm asking because I don't know.”
Kazan asks back in a puzzled tone, and Ulan confidently replies that he doesn't know what he doesn't know..
As the strange confrontation continued, Kazan suddenly made an expression that he noticed something..
“ah, i'm sorry by mistake. Come to think of it, it seems that the will of the stars was called by a different name outside the desert..”
“if it's a different name?”
As Ulan tilted his head, Kazan did not hesitate to give an answer that resolved the question..
“The will of the stars is the origin of this world and a transcendent existence that governs all destiny. It is a being called a star outside the desert..”
“……!”
This time, Ulan's eyes widened slightly..
As if surprised by an unexpected identity. After a while, he asked the question again..
“Then you've met the Holy Ghost.?”
“haha, that's not it I just feel his presence. He's the one who called me here, and we often interacted with each other in the form of an oracle..”
After answering with a big smile, Kazan stared at the ceiling..
A view of the ceiling filled with countless stars as if the entire night sky had been carved. Kazan, who watched this, looked back at Ulan..
“Coming back to the main topic, I suddenly lost my mind while reading the book called Arsene Continental War. And I woke up in a novel.”
A completely different face from the previous world.
Her hair and eyes resembling the sea were all unfamiliar to her. Recalling that time, Kazan quietly let her laugh..
“At the time, I wasn't a main character in the original work, I was just an extra. Even a slave-turned-gladiator in one of the lowest classes.”
fight every day.
It was a harsh environment where one could lose one's life, but Kazan quickly adapted. It was for the same reasons as Noah..
“I remembered the situation I was in and the events that would happen in the future through the original work. Thanks to you, I got out of slavery sooner than I thought.”
Since then, Kazan has grown stronger by wandering around the desert..
Even if he knew all the future, he had no power or ability right now. I had to be strong to survive in a place like this.
“While wandering the desert for ten years, I made an oath with Baekrang and other spirit creatures. Furthermore, martial arts and witchcraft were also trained to the extreme..”
Hard days repeating one after another.
However, Kazan did not stop. Couldn't stop. Because he knew the future through the original work, he saw a clear threat more than anything else..
right in the abyss).
Recalling the terrible disaster that will one day come to the world, he gritted his teeth and began thorough preparations for the abyss..
“After all preparations were over, I started to gather my colleagues next. They were called the 10 heroes in the original work..”
The Heroes Written in the Tomb of Xarthum.
Just as I was silently thinking of their names, Kazan's voice suddenly became very serious..
“Then I got a problem.”
“problem?”
“Yes, maybe something went wrong in the process of increasing my strength, because the candidate who was supposed to be one of the original 10 heroes died..”
A development that flows differently from the original.
Kazan was taken aback by the unexpected variable. But the confusion didn't last long. He couldn't give up on everything just because his plans went awry..
“After learning about the incident, I made a decision after thinking for a long time. I decided to fill his void and become a hero myself..”
Did you remember the resolution at the time??
The blue eyes flashed fiercely..
“After that, time passed, and I made the heroes who appeared in the original work one by one my teammates. If you've seen Zarthum's records, you probably know..”
Ulan nodded silently..
In response, Kazan continued to speak..
“But it wasn't easy from the beginning. The process of letting people know the truth about my identity and abyss and making them believe it was very difficult..”
Ulan also understood this to some extent..
He also had a hard-to-believe secret that he remembered his past life.
“So I tried to meet the agent of the stars first among the heroes of the original work..”
“If you are a star agent…….”
“An existence that worships and serves the will of the star that called me here. At the same time, it means a person who is also called an agent who has inherited the will of the stars..”
Ulan's eyes turned round..
It was because I already knew the same existence that Kazan had just spoken about..
This is Saint Laurea..
And, coincidentally, Ulan first revealed his secret to Laurea when she visited the academy..
‘Oh, I see…….’
I remembered that the lords of the abyss he had defeated so far also called Laurea an agent of the stars instead of a name..
Just as I was finishing my reminiscence, a calm voice tapped my ear again..
“In the era in which I lived, there were two agents of the stars. They were twin fairies named Artina and Einer..”
Beings with special talents, each blessed by magic and spirits. They were also surprisingly similar to Dillia and Perticia..
Furthermore, the reason why Kazan found the Star Agent in the first place was exactly the reason Ulan first revealed the secret to Laurea..
‘projection eye).’
The ability to penetrate the essence and see through lies.
Through this, Kazan proved that his words were true, and he was able to convince other colleagues as well..
“They believed what I said was true, and thanks to them, I was fully prepared to face the abyss..”
10 heroes gathered like that.
Even the preparations for fighting the abyss were finished, but there was one fatal problem..
It was the time of the invasion of the abyss..
“I knew the existence of the Abyss and that they stalked the world, but I didn't know the exact date of the invasion..”
“but i know the future…….”
“That's true, but the future I know is only up to the part that appeared in the original work. Also, in the original work, the story was cut off just before the invasion of the abyss..”
This means that the limit of information has been reached..
In response, Ulan tried to say something, but soon closed his mouth. It was because she thought about it and realized that Noah was in a similar situation..
She also knew the future when the door to the abyss opened and confronted the abyss, but she did not know the future after the abyss disappeared..
“Anyway, with this fact in mind, when I was guessing at the timing of the invasion, it happened at an unexpected time and in an unexpected place..”
“Are you talking about Oasis??”
“That's right. A mysterious oasis where pure magic springs up. That's why it was a place where a temple was built and called a sanctuary.”
Oasis was described as divine in the original work. Is that why? I never dreamed that a door to the abyss would appear there..
“The darkness that came unexpectedly swallowed the kingdom in an instant, and that's how we started fighting the abyss..”
7Days of Night, Seven Days of Calamity.
However, according to Zartum's record, this is only the flow of time observed from the outside, and it is said that seven years have passed in the capital of the kingdom swallowed up in the abyss..
“I think you probably know the story behind it. Since Zharthum has a meticulous personality, he must have left quite detailed records..”
“well, that's correct.”
Looking at Ulan nodding, Kazan smiled faintly. She was with an expression that said she was glad that she had saved the effort of explaining..
“Still, if I had to add a few words, at that time, there were days that were so desperate that I wanted to give up again and again..”
7A battle that continues every day for years.
Kazan smiled bitterly as he recalled the hellish days that were not even enough to express his sorrow..
“Three comrades died, someone chose to sacrifice to save everyone, and the other two were stained and corrupted by the abyss. It was amazing how he stayed sane while watching this scene..”
Memories I want to erase now.
but unforgettable memories.
When Kazan was calmly reciting the days he fought against the abyss, Ulan, who had been silently listening to him, suddenly joined the story..
“no, that's wrong.”
“Eh?”
“It is not two that have fallen, but three..”
Ulan responds by correcting Kazan's words.
Faced with him, Kazan only blinked his wide-open eyes as if he hadn't been able to judge the situation momentarily..
“what? what does that mean…….”
“Giant King Largtan.”
some time after that.
Towards Kazan, who blankly asked back, Ulan spoke out what he knew..
“Like Asteban and Farus, he too became the Lord of the Abyss..”
“……!?”
Kazan widened his eyes..
As if I heard an unexpected answer.
After that, he kept his eyes wide open for a while, then asked with a stuttering tone as if he had lost his composure..
“uh, didn't you see it wrong?”
A voice of disbelief.
Perhaps it was a fact he didn't want to believe, Kazan continued with a visibly confused face..
“Possibly another giant…….”
“It can't be. 'Cause he was the one I fought to the end in my past life.”
That's why I knew better than anyone.
Ulan said confidently..
Then, he brought out his story to Kazan, who was still confused. The story of her past life, the moment when she had a decisive battle with Largtan.
