31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 500)
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For…
hazy fog.
Snowfall listened to the signs of popularity around her. Who is sitting next to you and what are you talking about?.
Also, what kind of situation are you in with them now?.
“snowfall.”
a familiar voice calling him.
“huh?”
“I feel lucky to have met you guys.”
Ah, I think I remember..
“what?”
“Meeting you guys, we changed.”
It's Hyemyeong..
Hyemyeong and Mia, the fate they met during the task of bravery.
Clearly, special pictures and memories were left here..
But, something… I think I'm forgetting.
“How do you feel, Snowfall? You too have made some changes by meeting us.?”
eat…
“well… What about?”
If I were to go back to this time, I would definitely check it out..
Suddenly, Snowfall’s head turned to the other side..
To the painter who captures the times called memories on canvas..
Sigh…
Zech…
A painter who continues his brush strokes.
Kang Seol stood up slightly without realizing it and tilted his head..
A painter who doesn't know his name or who he is. An unidentified being who quietly disappeared, leaving behind only a picture..
‘Must see!’
Kang Seol realized that this scene was a dream. Of course, there was no way what I hoped for in my dream would come true..
Obviously it can't be that way..
But…
‘…what?’
The other person showed his face very comfortably..
old man's face.
Kang Seol noticed why the other person showed his face..
With that alone, I couldn't figure out anything..
The other person's face was constantly changing..
It became the face of a child, then a young man, and now a woman..
The only thing that won't change are his eyes..
The eyes were the same.
The other person let out a breath..
“…Is it yet?.”
“…what?”
At that moment, the dream stopped.
Everyone was frozen like a stone statue except for Kang Seol and the person he was talking to..
Characters and backgrounds.
Pusssssss…
scattered dreams.
“Huh?….”
Snowfall jumped up, breathing heavily, as if she was running out of breath..
“Phew….”
In fact, Kangseol had a dream like this two years ago..
It's time for immortality to twist the times.
Since it was a dream I experienced once, it wasn’t a situation that was too embarrassing..
Sigh…
He walked up and took out a broken leaf from the cupboard..
It was a leaf picked from a native habitat that I had luckily found. It was soon brewed as tea..
After taking a sip of tea, Kang Seol opened the door and went outside..
Slowly, winter was going away.
It was still chilly, but new shoots broke through the snow and stuck out their heads..
2year.
Two years have passed since that day..
Kang Seol recalled a conversation he had with Janet, whom he met not long ago..
“Time line collapse….”
Janet explained a lot about the timeline collapse..
- The past may have changed, the future may have been intended.
- …Is that possible? Unless you're a god….
- No, even God cannot. You can't touch anything during Shindo time. Time itself is such a huge entity that if God tries to touch it, it will just be eaten upside down..
She trembled as she said these words.
It seemed like he was that concerned about the collapse of the timeline. If Ur had been here, I would have expected a kinder explanation, but unfortunately he wasn't around..
- That's why the god of time doesn't exist.
- Can’t it be restored naturally??
- Actually, it is possible. Because time is like that. but… This is different.
- …different?
Janet forcefully opened her mouth and made a sound..
- Someone meant it.
- hmm…
- By intentionally focusing on a specific time period, I couldn't even tell how big the wound was..
- The impact it will have on me?
- well… I don't know anything right now.
In the end, no clear answer was obtained.
Snowfall looked at the cloth hanging on the hanger. Soon, the information poured in..
[new night]
Level: Insanity
appropriate level : 75 - 85
defense : 160
resistance : 145
stamina : 300/300
Weight: 0.1kg
A gift for the little crow.
Basic ability: Increases all abilities in proportion to maximum shadow space.
Special ability: Treated as part of the shadow when worn. The harmony effect is strengthened according to the number of parts where the harmony equipment is worn..
A cloak that displays how much your stats have increased when worn..
“I guess they cared..”
It may be Janet's own consideration. However, she seemed to have more of her own tastes than Kang Seol's..
Special abilities were too flashy.
The moment you wear the cloak, the texture changes from the texture of the cloth to that of a shadow..
Also, the effect of the special ability was so overwhelming that it couldn't be used because it was flashy..
Kangseol is someone who has reached the level where she can freely manipulate shadows. Maybe that's why he was able to treat the cloak like a part of his body..
I am sometimes surprised by the overwhelming efficiency it brings. It's like that in everyday life, but what is the level like when a battle breaks out?….
Snowfall took off her everyday clothes and put on soft leather gear..
Some parts of the equipment were different from two years ago..
It was the same with his companions..
“Woke up?”
“Yeah, I overslept?”
“Not to that extent. I don't even have an appointment.”
Karen greeted with a wrinkled nose..
She also had different armor here and there..
“It's today.”
Karuna greeted politely..
“Yes, today.”
I didn't set a deadline for my stay, but I at least figured out when I would leave..
“everyone will be fine.”
Tancia and Jamard too.
and urdo.
I was able to notice that Ur was resurrected some time ago. The contract between the summoner and the summoned beast has been broken..
Same goes for Jamard..
“That would be correct.”
“Who knows, maybe Ur ran away?”
“well….”
When Kang-seol reacted angrily to Karen's joke, she laughed too..
“Well, it would be appropriate to say, that bastard.”
He died unexpectedly and was resurrected at a completely unexpected moment..
Did Ur end up breaking the contract and breaking the seal all by himself?.
So now that the demon of Alkatron has awakened, will the world fall into chaos? Seeing the world quiet, it didn't seem that way.
So maybe it's better to leave it alone for now.
There was something else important now..
‘immortality….’
A person who summons demons by consuming the potential of the planet.
Kang Seol realized what Bulsa was up to..
‘This guy... I want to become more than a challenger..’
that's impossible.
No, it was definitely impossible..
Why did all of Jiang Xue's legendary horses try to reach Ascension as challengers?.
‘I can't gather that much history..’
His legendary words swept through an era. He experienced great adventures and defeated powerful enemies. Everyone rose to the position of challenger like that..
However, it was obvious that this was the total amount of power contained in one era. Rather, it was like a miracle that so many challengers were born in one era..
‘But this time….’
Immortality has completely turned the world upside down..
Burning down the old era, a new era was created..
Monster-like beings with enormous historical power were resurrected by the power of the stars and returned to the world once again..
Having strong power means having a lot of power in the times..
‘He's planning on scraping up every trace of the era's history..’
This is crazy. Burning the world to achieve his own goals. It was an unimaginable method when snowfall was immortal..
‘one… Shiloi, was that you?.’
If it was Shiloi's thoughts after regaining freedom, that was the true form of immortality..
radical and rough method.
If only force represents truth, she was capable of it..
Because he is strong.
Grinning…
‘I knew you would leave it like that?’
- I love you, father.
Her last words lingered in my mind..
last 2 years.
A time of war, a time when we stood on the front lines and wielded weapons. When the fight is over, the weapons melt down and become farming tools to make a living..
The last two years of Snowfall were such times..
Slurp…
A dice made of shadows spun in his hand.
Wow…
When I hold it tightly, the dice crumbles into powder and scatters..
flutter…
As I wrapped myself in my new cloak, a shadow appeared..
“Now, let's begin.”
* * *
Naturally, there were cities that remained intact even after the era changed. The city miraculously survived without major damage..
Typically, these cities were located close to heavily damaged areas..
“Then the expedition leaves tonight.?”
“that's right.”
“There's a reason to leave at night?”
“Why, was I scared??”
“Who, who was scared? It's just a reasonable question..”
“Our goal is to rescue survivors. The equipment arrived here at night and the client said he wanted it to leave as quickly as possible..”
“When do you sleep??”
“It's a decent play. Well, you can make it seem like you are in a hurry to leave, but in reality, you can settle down and rest during the day..”
“aha… Then you understand.”
A hastily organized expedition.
The situation was quite unusual..
“But was it possible to rescue them in the first place? There is no one who went to the dark world and came back alive.?”
“Why isn't it there? There were both in the east and in the south..”
“really?”
“Yes, everyone is jumping in because it is clear that they can come back alive. But why are you asking this in the first place??”
“Why! Until we head to the dark world!”
“Why are you worried about that? You are only in charge of detection outside the dark sphere..”
“…yes? But I'm vaguely anxious.”
“It's okay, don't worry. Because I had a similar job last time. I came back safely even then..”
“…The adventurers who were deployed?”
In response to the woman's question, the man only took a bite before answering..
“I lost it.”
“oh….”
The conversation was cut off..
This is the border between the south and west. It was originally a city called Meyu belonging to a kingdom called Sviren, but the circumstances were a bit unusual..
2Years ago, on the final day of the war, Sviren's royal capital and large cities were swept into darkness..
Mayu, who suddenly lost her home country, survived somehow. Because of the tectonic shift, a lot of new terrain and monsters have appeared, or there are other cities that have suffered great damage, so whining won't comfort anyone..
I don't know if it's because Meyu is so close to the Dark Heaven, but a large number of adventurers looking for danger came pouring in..
Especially in the early days when darkness had just appeared throughout the continent..
It was quite a boom before its notoriety spread widely..
of course… Soon, as the majority of adventurers reached the point of extinction, the number of people heading to the dark world gradually decreased..
There are two options left for adventurers making a living in Meyu..
Leave or find a way to live.
The way to survive is, of course, related to the dark world. Those who throw themselves there are those who want to commit suicide, and it is usually just a matter of helping them get there. There have been rumors going around recently that the dark world is expanding, but as long as you don't get swept away, there's no problem..
So did the adventurers I spoke with, a woman named Nairo and a man named Pavel..
Nairo looked out the window, his feet shaking..
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssd…
Dusk has arrived in Meyu..
Carrying sunset and anxiety.
“huh…?”
food deukdeuk…
“what's the matter?”
“Look at that.”
“like… damn….”
“…Is it an ominous sign??”
Dozens of crows flew into the village.
Everyone cried while occupying the roof..
Wow!…
“Crows were auspicious in Sviren.….”
“This is not a sight that even a king swept up in darkness would frown upon seeing.?”
“uh… That's right.”
“Come out, let’s get ready quickly.”
“…huh.”
As the expedition team headed to the Dark Heavens left the village, a group of adventurers arrived in Meyu..
As one of them entered the village, a special message occurred to him..
[The King of Shadows arrives in Meyu.]
[Only those who have surpassed the supreme state can notice the existence of the King..]
……
Kangseol chuckled after checking the message..
“I never thought something like this would exist... I'll have to be careful from now on.”
