Kazan Rudric's Unique Ability, Bookmark.
He explained the ability of bookmarks again before talking about the special power that resides in this ability..
“As I said before, after using the bookmark, if you activate this symbol, you will move to the time I marked in advance..”
After a brief explanation.
He turned to Ulan and asked..
“So let me ask you a question here.”
“……?”
“What if you don't activate the pattern while only marking it for a specific time period? What would happen if the world was later covered by an abyss??”
It was a question I didn't have to worry about..
For the world to be covered by the abyss meant destruction. So, as soon as the question was finished, Ulan gave an immediate answer..
“It won't activate, it will just disappear.”
“that's right. I thought so too.”
Kazan nodded..
So, after preparing the arrangements, I left everything to the next generation and fell into a long sleep..
Looking forward to the day of meeting the heir who will visit this place in the future. Kazan, who had explained this far, suddenly hardened his face like a stone..
“but my guess is wrong.”
“what's wrong?”
“When the seal was broken and I opened my eyes for the first time. What is in front of me is not the successor, but the time right before the sealing work begins..”
It was a strange situation indeed..
He must have chosen to be sealed himself and fell into a long sleep, but when he opened his eyes, he returned to the time right before he was sealed again..
“And only then did I realize The fact that before he sealed himself, he used a bookmark and didn't activate the glyph..”
Kazan, who closed his mouth for a moment and caught his breath, looked at Ulan again and asked..
“what do you think this means?”
“that…….”
“You don't have to think hard. This means that my arrangements could not be passed on to the next generation, and the world was eventually covered by an abyss and its source was swallowed up..”
In terms of the book, the story is forced to end before it reaches the end..
“However, as explained at the beginning, the purpose of the abyss is not to destroy the world..”
To swallow the source of the world and become the true world itself. That was the real purpose of the Abyss, the hidden world that Kazan claims..
That means the world hasn't disappeared.
If you compare it to a book, even if the story is cut off in the middle, the book itself is still intact..
“Since the book has not disappeared, of course the bookmark has to remain as it is. And at this time, the bookmark's special ability was activated..”
“what ability was it?”
“It's simple. It is an ability that forces you to move to the marked time zone if the pattern is not activated until exactly a thousand years have passed since the time you first marked the time zone..”
Kazan made arrangements so that he would never be awakened from the seal until the successor came, so the bookmark pattern was not activated..
And as a result, the pattern did not activate for a thousand years, so it moved to the time marked in the past..
“Here's one more, odd thing.”
Kazan, who finished his meaningful words, spread the back of his left hand toward Ulan. There, the same pattern as her bookmark was clearly engraved..
“pattern…….”
“That's right. Even though I returned to the previous time, the pattern on the bookmark did not disappear..”
“why did that happen?”
“I don't know the exact truth. It could be that the will of the stars was intentional, or it could be a change caused by the twisting of the time zone..”
Kazan smiled vaguely..
“Anyway, having figured out the special ability of bookmarks, I was able to convince myself that the hypothesis I just said was correct after several experiments..”
After the long story is over.
Ulan summarized what he had heard..
First of all, Kazan used the bookmark after completing the arrangements and before falling into a long sleep. It was a kind of insurance in case something happened..
However, contrary to what was initially expected, the heir could not find Kazan's arrangement, and in the meantime, the abyss covered the world..
Afterwards, just when I thought everything was over, the special ability of the bookmark was suddenly activated and returned to the time immediately before being sealed..
By the time the story I had heard was sorted out to some extent, Kazan's words continued again..
“And so I came to watch time repeat itself countless times. Just remembering it right away, you've probably repeated it hundreds of times..”
Now it agrees with Noah's words.
She confessed that she was a player, and said that she had lived various lives, repeating this world hundreds of times..
“So the abyss is desperate to find me. As long as you don't get rid of me, the world's time zone will repeat itself every thousand years..”
After answering, Kazan laughed out loud..
As if he were laughing at the abyss he was wandering about in the repeated time he intended.
Meanwhile, towards the end of his story.
Suddenly, Ulan suddenly spoke..
“There's something I can't understand.”
“Yes? that's something?”
“No matter how much time repeats with bookmarks, nothing changes as long as you don't leave here..”
a phenomenon in which the passage of time is reversed.
The only ones who know this are Kazan Rudric and the Beings of the Abyss..
In particular, Kazan is the only one among the forces at the abyss and antipode, so no one other than him knows that time repeats itself..
In other words, unless you get out of the grave and do something, it just repeats itself over and over again. As Ulan said, nothing changes..
“But why…….”
Did you repeat meaningless things??
Ulan's question was this.
On the other hand, Kazan, who understood the intention of the question, nodded as if he could think that way..
“It would be reasonable to think so. But to clarify the reason, there was a reason I couldn't give up. There was a corner where I believed right away.”
“Where do you believe? what is that?”
“stranger).”
As soon as Ulan asked, the immediate answer came back..
Kazan said with a smile as he tapped his left chest with his fist..
“If one day the will of the stars brings a stranger in a similar situation to me, that will be the beginning of change..”
“how can you be sure of that…….”
“I could be sure Because before I came here, there were many records of strangers who visited this world..”
Even before Kazan, there were countless strangers who arrived here following the guidance of the stars..
So, Kazan could believe that someday a new stranger would arrive in the future as well..
“If there was an element of anxiety, it was that you didn't know when the stranger would arrive..”
But there was no need to worry about this either..
Time in the world was on Kazan's side as long as the traits, bookmarks, and emblems didn't disappear..
So Kazan waited patiently.
One day, guided by the stars, a new stranger will arrive in this world.
“And finally the time has come.”
Kazan closed his mouth for a while.
A smile soon bloomed on his lips..
“The most certain proof is that you, who broke through the heroic ordeal, appeared in front of me as an heir who will inherit my will and face the abyss..”
It was a refreshing and refreshing smile that only beings who had waited for years of endurance could create..
“Do you have any other questions?”
“there is one last.”
“what is?”
“What is an extraordinary piece??”
A minor question compared to the others.
But it was definitely a question that had to be addressed. Because it was in line with the reason why Ulan remembers his past life..
“It literally means a piece that was born from an unexpected change..”
Meanwhile, Kazan answered these questions with a shrug of his shoulders as if it was not too important..
“As I said before, when I activate the bookmark pattern, I return to the time I marked. And no one knows that time has gone back.”
that was normal.
But sometimes there are exceptions.
“But the second time I used the bookmark, one of my colleagues remembered the previous time zone and realized that time was repeating itself..”
“who was?”
almost the same situation.
Ulan asked in a curious tone. To this, Kazan did not waste time and answered immediately..
“Einer Mel Arpen.”
10one of the heroes of.
A woman who was called a spirit poet and had a very similar appearance to Pertissia of the time. At the same time, she is also the companion of Kazan Rudrick..
“At the same time, she was also the reason I decided to activate the second bookmark glyph..”
Lord of the Deep, Queen of Thorns.
In the process of facing the monster, who was ranked number one at the time, Ainer sacrificed himself to save Kazan from danger..
“Thanks to her, I was able to save my life, but I didn't have the confidence to continue fighting the abyss in a world without her. So I used a bookmark.”
Time slots indicated in advance.
Kazan went back to the time when Einer was alive. But then, a strange thing happened.
Einer, who should not have known that time repeated itself, was aware of the change..
“Afterwards, Einer learned about the patterns on the bookmark. So he sympathized with me, understood me more than anyone else, and comforted me..”
As if recalling nostalgic memories, a subtle smile formed on Kazan's lips. After a while, he went back to what he was going to say to Ulan..
“But I didn't know why this happened. I'm just guessing that it has something to do with the special ability embedded in the bookmark..”
so it was named.
A fragment born from an unknown accident.
The name of the convenience of this side.
“In other words, to put it together, it means that a fragment of an emergency means an existence that remembers the past time period..”
“You can understand that.”
Kazan grinned at the brief summary..
Ulan then asked the question again..
“One more question. Then how did you know that I was the side of the odds??”
A space reached with Baekrang.
Kazan, who appeared here for the first time, called Ulan an extraordinary piece as soon as he saw it..
He hadn't even explained his past life yet, so how could he have guessed his identity? At Ulan's question, Kazan stretched out his left hand..
“Get your hands on this pattern.”
“Why all of a sudden…….”
“then you will know.”
When the meaningful answer came back, Ulan grabbed the back of Kazan's hand without hesitation..
Then at that moment.
Suddenly, a bright white thread coiled around Ulan's body. Two strands of thread in all. When I watched this mysterious scene.
“Seonilse meaning time zone.”
Kazan's answer continued.
He tapped the thread of light that wrapped around Ulan's body and added an additional explanation..
“Originally, only one time period exists for one being, but two time periods exist for you who remember your past life..”
so it was possible to find out.
That Ulan is a piece of an accident.
At the detailed explanation, Ulan finally put on an expression of doubt. The moment I turned my gaze back to Kazan.
“……!”
Ulan's eyes widened wide..
It was because when I looked at Kazan while holding the back of his hand, I saw something I hadn't seen before..
“you…….”
It is a thread of countless numbers.
As if proving that he had been repeated hundreds of times, Kazan's body was wrapped in countless pure white threads..
Did you notice these gazes??
Kazan burst into laughter..
“It's okay. Because it's already past.”
As if you don't care anymore.
Afterwards, Kazan faced Ulan while being entangled in countless threads. Then he changed the subject with a soft smile..
“Now if there are no more questions, may I ask this time? I have a question.”
“what do you want to hear?”
“the way you walked.”
What Kazan wants to hear.
That was Ulan's story..
“I want to hear the story of how you walked in a world where a new stranger arrived, unknown to me. everything without leaving a single thing.”
“Got it. I'll tell you.”
Originally, Ulan hates trouble..
That's why I tend to tell long stories in the shortest possible way..
But Kazan was an exception..
He, who has repeated time over hundreds of times to win against the abyss, deserves to hear his story..
“I woke up in the meadow.”
So Ulan started talking.
From the birth of the past life to death and further to the present, all the actions of oneself.
