“I avoided you on purpose. Not just you, but Lee Seo-jun too. Yoo Ah-ra too. Yoon Ha-young too. Everyone else too.”
There were no restrictions on ‘speaking out’ or anything, perhaps because it was a story about ‘return’ and not from another world.
It felt a little strange because it was my first time telling a story like this, but somehow I felt relieved because it felt like I was telling a secret.
“I can’t go into detail, but I’ve known you for quite some time. That’s why I couldn’t get closer to you.”
I looked back at her and said.
“Because I am an outsider.”
To her, who didn’t know my situation, these words might have sounded a bit difficult.
So I added a word as if making an excuse.
“Oh, it’s not like I hung out with other people in a special way. I mostly went around alone.”
Choi Seo-yoon looked at me with a thoughtful expression for a while and then muttered quietly.
said.
“… … It must have been lonely.”
I laughed slightly at those words.
I never thought I would be pitied like this.
Soon, Seo-yoon Choi smiled slightly and spoke comfortingly.
“So this is my first memory with ‘Choi Seo-yoon’?”
“… … Well, isn’t that so?”
“Hmm~”
Seo-yoon Choi nodded, humming.
Unlike before when I was feeling bitter, my heart seemed happy now.
As we walked and talked like that, part of the fog that had been blocking our vision began to slowly clear.
As if guiding the way, only certain parts were changing like that.
As I entered the thinning fog, a familiar face popped out.
“Seonwoo?!”
“Kim Seon-woo?”
It was Yoon Ha-young and Yoo Ah-ra. The two approached us with happy faces.
“Wow~ We all meet here. Seoyoon is here too.”
Yoon Ha-young greeted us with a bright smile.
Seo-yoon Choi also welcomed them with a bright face.
“Did anything happen in the fog or anything?”
“Yeah. We’ve had a few encounters with demons, but nothing much has happened. You?”
“We met with Jawoon.”
At my words, Yuara’s expression hardened for a moment.
“……Jawoon?”
I nodded.
“I met Baek Eun-seong and Jin.”
A moment of confusion appeared on both of their faces.
Then he checked my body to see if I was injured.
“Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Don’t worry, I won. And you know I’m resilient.”
“… … As expected, it’s Seonwoo.”
I’m not that surprised.
So far I have shown you what I have done
It seems like you believe it. I guess I’ve gotten used to it now.
After that, Yuara crossed her arms and said.
“So, what are you going to do now?”
“First, we need to find a way to clear the fog or find a way.”
“I also need to find Senior Seojun.”
Choi Seo-yoon interjected and said.
“That’s right. Lee Seo-jun is also the key to the Jin Cheon-woo subjugation this time.”
That moment.
Wooooow!
The magic of the slowly flowing fog began to tremble.
At the same time, a strong magical power spread out from somewhere.
Everyone’s eyes were turned there.
“This magic is… … r
It was a familiar magic.
“let’s go!”
We quickly ran in the direction where we felt the magic.
As I ran towards my destination, the fog in front of my eyes slowly dispersed and I saw the back of someone.
As soon as I saw it, I instinctively gathered my magic power.
Within moments, a golden sphere materialized on my palm and quickly released itself.
Pfft!
The sphere passed just barely past the bastard’s side.
The embarrassed man took a step back.
He stood there and glared at me.
“… … Kim Seon-woo?”
“Seojun!”

At that time, Yoon Ha-young called Lee Seo-jun’s name loudly.
Lee Seo-jun, who was standing across from the guy, quickly turned around.
“you guys……?”
Next to him was Shin Young-jun, and surprisingly, the two of them looked fine.
It seems that the battle had not yet begun properly.
I stand opposite them
He said while looking at it.
“Bert, Natasha.”
Their identities were Bert and Natasha of Zawoon.
They each had their own specialty, the magic of electricity, and a giant scythe, and judging by the fact that they were all fine, it seemed like it hadn’t been long since the two had met.
“… … Kim Seon-woo? Why are you here?”
Bert glared at me and said that.
And Natasha’s expression standing next to him darkened in an instant.
“Wait a minute, does that mean Kim Seon-woo is here… … ?”
“that’s right.”
Bert’s expression darkened as he spoke.
“It’s the story of Baek Eun-seong and Jin’s failure.”
“Huh!”
Natasha bit her lip with a resentful face. Bert spoke to me with hardened eyes.
“Kim Seon-woo. Baek Eun-seong and Jin must have come looking for you. What happened to them?”
At their question, Lee Seo-jun looked at me with questioning eyes.
“… … Did you meet Jawoon too?”
I nodded and said.
“They’re both dead.”
“What? What are you saying now……
Natasha exploded with anger.
It was a sight that revealed the camaraderie that is unique to Jawoon.
Bert spoke blankly with a bitter expression on his face.
“… … I see. That’s how it turned out
go.”
She agreed surprisingly quickly.
As if he had expected it to some extent, he just quietly showed his sad emotions.
Natasha, who had been watching the scene, grabbed the scythe and stepped forward.
“I have to get revenge on those kids.”
Woohoo!
A powerful magical power began to spread from Natasha’s body.
A fierce red magic energy rose from the giant scythe she held in her hand.
It was like seeing a red grim reaper.
Everyone was shocked by Natasha’s magic and raised their magic power.
Just as the two magical powers were about to collide, Bert intervened and grabbed her shoulder.
“Natasha.”
Natasha turned to look at her at the sudden intervention.
“why?”
“Let’s stop.”
Uh..2”
Natasha’s eyes trembled at Bert’s unexpected reaction.
“What are you talking about now? I have to get revenge on Jin and Baek Eun-seong!”
“There is no chance of winning.”
Bert’s gaze turned to me and my colleagues around me.
Natasha followed her gaze and looked at us too.
2:6 situation.
In the past, we were a force that could not be defeated even if we were pushed by numbers, but now we have grown and are not pushed by them.
I got it.
The balance has been lost.
And Natasha, realizing the disadvantage of the situation, slowly put down the scythe.
They guessed that they had been defeated.
I approached them like that.
“You’re not trying to run away, are you?”
Bert shook his head.
“I know I can’t run away from you.”
Bert continued with eyes that showed no emotion.
“No, to be exact, it’s something I can’t ruin for you, Kim Seon-woo.”
She said as she was muttering like that.
“Instead, I propose a deal.”
“……transaction?”
Lee Seo-jun frowned.
Then, Shin Young-jun, who was standing next to him, walked forward holding the spear.
“That sounds like a deal. You’re finished now.”
Bert said.
“I’ll tell you how to clear the fog. And I’ll tell you where ‘He’ is.
“That’s right.”
“..I”
Everyone was greatly surprised by Bert’s unexpected proposal.
Lee Seo-jun looked at her with suspicious eyes and said.
“You’re going to betray Jincheonwoo? How can you believe that?”
“He is not our god. There is no reason to follow him.”
“.2”
Everyone was taken aback by Bert’s unexpected remark.
Natasha also looked at her with eyes that showed she did not understand.
“Bert? What are you talking about?”
Bert looked back at Natasha.
“Wake up. Our god is dead on the Isle of the Dead.”
“……but.”
Bert sighed and said.
“In this fog, there’s no way he’ll be watching me.”
She said.
“I am the one, no… … the first world
“I know the real purpose of Jin Cheon-woo who came from here.”
Everyone looked surprised.
Natasha also had a look of deep bewilderment on her face.
Because I never thought that such words would come out of Bert’s mouth.
“Do you know why we devote our lives to Him?”
Bert’s words made me question things.
If you think about it, you really don’t know why they followed Jin Cheon-woo even at the risk of their lives.
“Because we believed that when he became the god of the new world, he would revive us. That our sacrifice would never be in vain.”
Natasha nodded in agreement.
And Bert said:
“But that’s not the person he is now.”
Natasha looked at Bert.
“Bert. What do you mean?”
Bert looked at Natasha and said.
“He has no intention of reviving us. The sacrifices of Baek Eun-seong, Jin… … and all of our other comrades have been rendered meaningless.”
“… … So what is that?”
At that Natasha frowned.
“no way……
Natasha nodded.
“That’s right. You can guess it by looking at the fourth diary. You’re being watched now.
There is a pretense of loyalty, but… …
We were at a loss in this unexpected situation.
Because we never expected that Bert would reveal such a story to us.
“The new world that Jincheonwoo is trying to create now is not a new world for us.”
She said.
“The current Jincheonwoo is the whole world, so it is a new world for the ‘first world’.”
Bert said.
“Jin Cheon-woo will cover this world with the first world.”
Everyone was silent at Bert’s subsequent confession.
Her fellow sidekick, Natasha, also had a pained expression on her face, as if she found it hard to believe the truth.
“… … So, are you saying that God will revive another us who existed in the first world, not us?”
“That’s right. You in the other world are you, but you’re not you. What does that mean?
You know it too.”
It was certainly a surprising story.
The ‘new world’ that Jincheonwoo dreamed of was the first world to cover this world.
What this means is that everything in this world is nothing more than a tool created for Jin Cheon-woo’s plan.
Lee Seo-jun said with a serious face.
“If the world is rewritten as you say, will the people of this world be replaced by the people of the first world?”
Bert nodded.
“That’s right. In fact, his soul has already been replaced with Jin Cheon-woo from the first world. And if he gains the power of ‘God,’ it is not impossible to cover the world.”
Bert, who had been speaking like that, opened his mouth again with a pained expression on his face.
“… … We were nothing more than tools for the ‘First World’.”
[A major change in the future has been detected.]
[Causality increases by 2.]
The causality has increased by 2.
It meant that it wasn’t just a lie to avoid a crisis.
“… … Was this also the reason why Jin Cheon-woo was afraid of Kim Chang-hyeon?”
As Lee Seo-jun muttered, Shin Young-jun spoke.
“Wait a minute. Aren’t they bound by a blood oath so they can’t betray? Do you believe what they say?”
Then Bert answered.
Another one.”
“What I just said was for Jawoon, so it doesn’t matter. And the one I swore allegiance to was the one in this world. Not Jincheonwoo from the world.
“Seonwoo. Can you believe that?”
This time, Yoon Ha-young looked back at me and asked.
Everyone’s eyes turned to me. I met their gazes and slowly nodded.
“I don’t think he’s lying.”
Lee Seo-jun also nodded as if he felt Bert’s sincerity and said.
“I feel that way too.”
“……ha.”
Natasha let out a pained sigh and narrowed her eyebrows.
It was a face that looked like it might shed tears at any moment.
Anger and sadness.
It was a natural reaction, seeing his lifelong dedication go down the drain.
“… … Was there no new world for us?”
“Yes, the new world for ‘us’ never existed in the first place.”
After that, Bert’s gaze turned to me.
“So, will you accept my offer?”
Everyone’s eyes turned to me once again, as if they were leaving the decision up to me.
I thought for a moment, then nodded and said.
“Okay, I’ll accept your offer.”
It’s a shame to lose Bert and Natasha, but my top priority is to defeat ‘Jin Cheon-woo’.
“Then how to remove the fog and Jincheon
“Tell me where you are.”
“… …Can I trust you guys?”
“If you don’t believe me, at least swear an oath of blood.”
Bert shook his head at my words.
“That’s fine. Take this first.”
Bert took a stone out of his bosom and threw it at me.
When I received the stone, I felt a huge magical energy.
“This is the core of mana used to create fog. If you activate this and the interpretation technique at the same time, the fog will disappear.
hey.”
Soon she demonstrated the interpretation technique to me.
At the same time, the benefits of the outsider were triggered and the form of the interpretation technique was imprinted in the mind.
It contained proper fog interpretation information. Bert had not deceived us.
I nodded and put the mana core in my bosom.
“I’ve memorized it all. Then tell me Jin Cheon-woo’s location.”
“……that.”
Bert trailed off.
Even though he had already revealed everything, he was conflicted about whether his actions were really right.
Then she exhaled deeply and said,
“If you walk straight to the east of the black land, you will find a ruins site.”
“Historic sites?”
Bert nodded.
“Jin Cheon-woo is hiding there and recovering his body. The problem is that the space has been distorted by a mysterious force.”
“So you’re saying it’s hard to find using normal methods?”
Bert nodded at Shin Young-jun’s words.
“We don’t know how to do that either. We can only enter if we get permission from Jin Cheon-woo.”
I nodded and turned my gaze to the eastern empty space of the fog.
Jincheonwoo is hiding somewhere over there.
And the end of this war is approaching.
*
Bert and Natasha left somewhere to find the bodies of Jin and Baek Eun-seong.
We stayed there, talked about our plans for the future, and prepared to clear the fog as Bert had instructed.
“Can I just inject magic power into this technique?”
Yoon Ha-young looked down at the interpretation formula I had created and asked.
“Yeah, probably.”
“I feel a bit nervous.”
I stood on the table and placed the core of mana on my palm.
As I slowly poured magical power into it, the mana core and the spell emitted a strong light as if responding to my will.
Woohoo!
The core of mana soon floated high into the air.
The blue energy flowing out from inside is wide
The fog spread out, and soon the fog slowly melted away, clearing the surroundings.
” oh.”
“It disappears.”
Before I knew it, my stuffy vision began to clear up and I began to see deep darkness.
The distorted space also slowly returned to its original state, moving in a blurry manner.
