ReLife Player Chapter 69

Relife Player 069

[Chapter 030]

[If you are a player (2)]

In South Korea, some areas were occupied by monsters after <Destruction at the End of the Century>, or areas that were turned into ruins were left untouched.

Thirty years have passed since then, and even though the fairy was inaugurated, the neglected area remained almost unchanged. Every day there is talk of recapturing occupied areas or rebuilding broken cities, but at the moment it is too much to just defend the existing areas.

“It’s time to come soon.”

The place where Eunha brought Eunah was also a building in an area neglected by the government.

Even the slightest movement raised a cloud of dust on the floor. When I looked down at the floor, I could see the footprints of my shoes.

The two raised the mana in their bodies to prevent dust from penetrating their respiratory tract.

“Eunha, how did you know that sister?”

“…We became close after meeting at Happiness.”

It was difficult to rectify it if I brought out a useless story.

Eunha scratched her cheek and said.

I didn’t lie. Eun-ha first met Shin Seo-young at Mt. Bukhan, but it was while eating her lunch at her Happiness that she became acquainted with her.

As it was, he avoided questions that were difficult to answer, waiting for Shin Seo-yeong to come.

“…come.”

“ah.”

Soon after, the flow of mana was observed.

Eun-ah, who has improved than before in deploying her sensory network, also noticed the abnormal flow.

The wind blew. Inside the building where no wind can blow.

“and….”

Eun-a opened her mouth when she saw the winds blowing from different directions getting entangled in the middle.

It was a simple yet systematic technique.

Magic that seemingly anyone can do.

However, Eun-ah knew how difficult it was to imagine the shape of the wind. Because the imagination of the wind supports it, the spells are harmonized and manifested as magic in the true sense.

“amazing….”

The only thing Eun-ah knows about Shin Seo-young’s power is that she unleashed the magic she built at the party.

It was the first time I had witnessed the reason she was called <Shinpoong> right in front of my eyes.

“Sorry. Did you wait a bit?”

“I waited a long time, not a little.”

“Are you really picky?”

Seoyoung Shin who walked out in the wind. Brushing her hair behind her ear, she pouted her lips at the first glance at the reproachful galaxy.

“hi?”

“Oh, hello!”

Eun-a quickly bowed her upper body at a right angle. From the moment she caught a glimpse of her new style, she wanted to learn her magic all the more.

“I introduced her before, but her name is Shin Seo-young. Don’t call her Twelve Seats or <Shinpoong> or anything, just call her Seo-yeong unnie.”

“Yes! Seoyoung unnie!”

“Yeah, fine.”

Shin Seo-young swallowed a laugh when she saw Eun-ah with sparkling eyes.

got caught

All of this was as planned.

In fact, it was not necessary to use magic to appear. She just wanted to show her side as a teacher to her future disciple Eun-ah and stimulate Eun-ah’s heart.

Of course, Eun-ha was not impressed by the appearance she showed. As soon as she realized her intentions, she reacted with disdain from him.

Seoyoung did not regret Eunha’s reaction.

Because her target today was Eun-ah.

Where can I show you a little more?

“It’s too dusty here. Let me ventilate for a moment.”

She waved her hand lightly.

At that moment, the ripples spreading from under the palm of my hand became the wind, blowing away the dust accumulated on the floor.

“and…!”

As expected, Eun-ah was impressed,

“Oh, I wish every house had one.”

The galaxy was admired in a different sense.

“Eunha you…”

“Yes? Why?”

Eunha smiles broadly like an innocent child.

While he hasn’t seen it for a while, the smoke has increased, increased.

Seoyoung clicked her tongue. After all, children are cute, but he wasn’t cute at all.

It must be said that it feels like dealing with someone who is indifferent to everything.

“Sister, did you bring it?”

“I brought it as you requested.”

Eunha didn’t care about her tongue-in-cheek reaction. She sighed that she knew that too, and put her hands in her belt pockets.

What she gave him was a small magic stone.

After examining the magic stone here and there, Eun-ha went to the window to look at the light. Sunlight passing through a tall building was enough to check the magic stone’s condition.

It’s okay.

The magic stone consisted of only a smooth section. It was an 8th tier magic stone that was of the highest level, with no visible flaws.

“Sister. I told you before, right? Being a player is a dangerous thing.”

“huh.”

Eun-ah replies with a determined face. She had already heard the explanation before coming here.

“Still, even if my sister wants to become a player, I’m not against it anymore. I’m not against it, but I’m going to test her to see if she can become a player.”

The galaxy infused mana into a small magic stone.

The mana he drained was only a small amount.

However, mana has the property of attracting mana. Even though it was ubiquitous with a small amount of mana, the mana melted in the air began to flow around the magic stone.

“Seoyoung noona, please.”

“okay.”

Eunha threw the magic stone on the floor. Then, as if she had been waiting for this moment, Mana rushed.

Immediately, Seoyoung puts a barrier on the entire floor.

“Seoyoung noona, what about the player device?”

“Here it is.”

“Come on, sister.”

The player device Seoyoung took out was a knife that even a child could wield.

Eun-ha checked the device for problems and handed it to Eun-ah.

“…huh.”

It was my first time holding the device. She put her hand on the sharpened blade.

It was cold. very.

A knife that does not feel even a hint of warmth. I knew what to do with this.

“…I’ll start.”

The stage has already been prepared.

Eunha pointed to a monster that was born out of omnipresence.

“…uh?”

A monster that looks around while shaking off the mana attached to its body.

Eun-ah, who was carefully holding the knife, was taken aback when she made eye contact with the monster.

The monster was a blue squirrel the size of a palm.

“The 8th tier monster, Porori. That’s my sister’s enemy.”

Eunha said calmly.

Eun-ah didn’t know even more.

“Is this… a monster…?”

She thought that monsters were dangerous beings that harmed people.

Wasn’t it the same with the monsters I faced when I was young and the monsters I faced at Dawn Department Store?

But such a small and cute monster.

It was hard to think of hurting people.

“…Don’t be vigilant.”

I didn’t even listen to Eunha’s advice.

Porori, who approached cautiously, tilted her small head.

will you hit me

The round eyes seemed to ask just that.

Aww, so cute… !

I wanted to run over and hug him right away. I wanted to rub my face.

By the time he thought so, he had already completely allowed Porori’s approach.

“…uh?”

Porori inflates her head and opens her mouth full of teeth.

“Poro, is it Lee?”

Where the hell did the size that could swallow a head come from in that small body?

It happened so suddenly.

I didn’t even have time to think.

Die.

“That’s why I told you not to be vigilant.”

If Eunha hadn’t kicked Porori, her head might have been ripped off.

“Porori, the 8th tier monster. It’s a monster that catches opponents off guard with a cute look and then puts anything in its mouth.”

“ah….”

Only then did she recall what Eunha had told her beforehand.

Humans and monsters cannot coexist.

Monsters born in omnipresence kill humans to covet mana.

“You can’t judge by appearance. As a player, you shouldn’t hesitate to face monsters. It’s your sister who dies.”

An entity that kills monsters if it is an unknown player.

But she thought just a moment ago that there might be monsters that wouldn’t do any harm.

That complacency brought death upon itself.

A monster was a monster. Coexistence between monsters and humans was impossible.

Still, though… .

She looked down at the knife she had dropped to the floor. When she lifted her head and saw the wary Porori with her distance wide open, she hesitated.

A kid like that… , should I kill you?

Now, as soon as our eyes meet, Porori gets scared and runs away. Confirming that the entire floor was surrounded by barriers, the monster curled up in a corner.

It looked like a frightened puppy. To the point where I want to run right away and comfort him saying that he’s okay.

Even though he recognized that Porori was a monster, he felt resistance to killing a small creature.

“ah….”

it was a knife

Even if it was a device, it was a weapon that could eventually kill a life.

From the moment I recognized it, the hand holding the sword trembled.

Suddenly, I remembered what I had experienced at the department store at dawn. Even then, she couldn’t kill a man even in a situation where she could have killed him.

You have to kill it this time.

Because I made a promise with Eunha. If you want to be a player, you must at least know how to kill monsters.

Still, isn’t it better than before?

because it’s a monster not a person

“Can you do more?”

Eunha asked her who couldn’t even hold a knife properly.

Eun-ah forced herself to nod her head.

Still, I want to be a player.

I never thought of becoming a player from the start.

On that day, watching Eunha running alone to face the Kraken.

On that day, while hearing the story that Eunha defeated the goblin to save her friends.

That day, watching Eunha sleeping on the bed in the hospital room.

That day, while feeling powerless towards herself, she sees Giulietta being taken away by men.

On that day, watching Bruno overturn the hellish moment at once.

It’s not wrong to be weak.

It is not wrong to be left behind.

There is nothing wrong with being protected.

But she felt helpless and didn’t want to watch it alone.

I didn’t want my beloved brother to do everything alone. She wanted to be someone who could stand alongside him.

I needed strength to protect the people I love. I wanted to be someone who could protect them.

So, so… .

Eun-ah put strength into the hand holding the knife.

The shaking didn’t stop.

But I had to get over it.

☆

scary kid really.

Seoyoung, who has lunch with Eunha every month, knew how important Eunah’s existence was to him.

So it was surprising.

The way he treated Eun-ah so coldly.

“Why? Did you put something on my face?”

Eun-ha asked without taking her eyes off Eun-ah, who was struggling with Porori.

“Because you’re colder than I thought.”

“…You can’t be cold.”

Then she realized. It turns out that Eun-ha was suppressing her desire to kill Porori right away. If she touched it even a little, it seemed that the mana that would hurt people would explode like an explosion.

“It has to be like this though.”

“Because the player is dangerous?”

Eunha nodded quietly.

Players were not meant to kill monsters that threatened humanity.

Players were greedy, selfish, and faithful to their individual desires more than anyone else.

She was well aware of the fate of those who entered the academy with a sense of justice to become the protector of mankind.

Some give up along the way.

Some conform to reality.

Some end up being weeded out.

There were only a few players who acted as protectors of mankind.

which one am i

She suddenly had an idea. And she smiled bitterly.

It was the one who conformed to reality. Wearing the mask of a protector of mankind.

“…you want to be a noona, so I don’t want you to be a player.”

How many times is it already?

Even in a situation where she could have killed Porori, Eun-ah was not ready to swing her sword.

This was the reason for this long and tedious battle.

“But if you want your sister to be a player, you have to help her become the player she wants to be.”

“Is that something that makes a child who is still in elementary school kill monsters?”

Seoyoung was dumbfounded.

Normal humans have resistance to killing living things.

Even at the Player Academy, freshmen aren’t asked to do crazy things like kill monsters.

yeah this is crazy Now he’s doing a crazy thing, telling him to kill monsters if he wants to be a player.

Oh, he had a weird head.

“What were you thinking?”

“No. Nothing. Just, maybe you’re too sensitive? I don’t think it’s too late to enter the academy.”

“Originally, I wanted to tell you to kill people, but did you lower it to a monster because you were afraid you would be called crazy?”

what is he

I must pretend I didn’t hear it.

Seoyoung did not respond. It seemed that if she spoke back, she’d see how crazy the world had become.

“There are two reasons for this test. One is that I want you to give up like this. I wanted you to know that the act of saving someone is no different from the act of killing someone.”

Seoyoung also agreed with this statement.

Saving someone means killing someone.

At least that was the case in the world of players. In some cases, the player had to sacrifice someone to save someone, and in other cases, he could only save someone if he killed someone.

So why else?

“The other one…, if my sister becomes a player, I want her to become a strong player.

Seoyoung also agreed with this statement.

The player’s world is a world ruled by the logic of power.

It was wrong to be weak. I had to kill him before he died.

It was wrong to be left behind. It had to be weeded out before it was weeded out.

It was wrong to be protected. I had to betray before I was betrayed.

Wasn’t she like that too? She suffered indescribable humiliation before reaching this position.

The people who gave that humiliation are no longer there.

If he had a power that no one could surpass from the beginning, he might not have had a rough time. He may not have been experiencing painful and complicated emotions.

no, wait.

She looked down at the galaxy.

How does this child know the player’s world?

More than anything, he seemed to be saying that no one should be trusted. He said he should not entrust his heart to anyone.

“As a player, you should at least be able to kill monsters.”

Although that is the life of an ideal player.

Since the player is also a human after all, entrusting his heart to someone was inevitable.

to completely deny it.

Is it because you’re still young?

Or do you think that kind of thinking came about when you had some kind of experience at that age?

Seoyoung wanted to think of it as a possible former.

☆

Eun-ah had 14 chances to kill Porori.

And it wasn’t until number 15 that she was able to end the monster’s breath.

in the middle of ruins. Even though he had fought so much, no trace could be found.

with my daughter

It was just a magic stone that made a sound and fell to the floor.

“ah….”

Eun-ah sat down on the floor.

The trembling of holding the knife stopped at some point.

Looking at the red bloody hands, the sense of killing the monster that was struggling was revived.

“iced coffee….”

something screamed He leaned down not to spit it out. covered his mouth with his hand.

barely endured

Then a stream of tears flowed down. He rubbed it with her bloody hand. Until blood smeared on his face, which was covered with sweat, tears and dust.

“…well done. well done.”

Eunha quietly approached and wiped her dirty face.

She hugged him and sobbed silently.
