14th floor – Lv. 459 The Forgotten (3)
Space exploration can’t just be a sting of the nose.
It is only in this time zone where I am located that the level of technology reaches the realm of artificially creating planets, and I am converting it into a full fortress.
But it was all built up on countless trials and errors and sacrifices.
If even a wide map gets caught in the future stage, there are cases where the stairs are just in another system.
If you wander around like that, you see all sorts of stars, but there are cases where these cosmic junks come together and exist like a group of asteroids.
Among them, this seems to be a space where many things have been accumulated for quite some time.
Beyond the open space, the darkness and countless ship wrecks are visible.
But the shape is really different. There are also strange forms that cannot be recognized at all, neither the age nor the nationality.
It’s a ship’s graveyard, so to speak, but it’s kind of eerie.
Still, wouldn’t this be enough to receive support from the Federation for just one small transport?
Usually, surviving in this class is a disease in itself, but the danger itself is not so great.
If Mother Nature is the opponent, establishing friendly relations with NPCs is a part of the exile’s ability, not a part that is taken into account in adjusting the difficulty.
In that way, while collecting information meticulously, it moves quickly.
The little ones are flocking and flocking all the way to the edge.
Somehow, all the party members said that they had no enemies to move to the air pocket, so it seems they were all lured there.
If you look at it differently, it’s a contribution, so let’s give it full praise.
There were not many zombies on the way. Not good news.
How the hell did you crowd?
The god of nature coldly analyzes the situation.
“It looks like you’ve used some pretty wild magic. There are no traces, but in order to attract such a wide area of aggro to the cosmic undead, he must have honed elemental magic.”
‘If it’s a colorful, brilliant, five-colored magic, you can see it even if you don’t want to see it in this gloomy space.’
Isn’t this more dangerous than you think?
The kid knows only a very basic level of attack magic.
Respecting his wishes, he has taught the theory and auxiliary parts first.
I was still young and my mind was unstable, so I thought it was a little relaxed.
“Isn’t it really like a daughter-in-law because I’m a father and a father?”
‘Maybe it is.’
A person who is not affected by attitude and appearance is no longer a person. Geez with personality problems.
After all, the kid from the future didn’t show any great magic, just the right level of power at the moment.
Considering the level, I thought there must have been something to level up on its own in a suitable place.
Did you think it was easy or did you not want to bring it out to the battlefield?
In any case, it was definitely my mistake that caused this to happen.
‘I should have made another vampire.’
“It’s not your fault. Two is enough. A labyrinth that doesn’t tell you in advance is a bad thing.”
In fact, there was no one who deserved it. You can’t turn everyone into a vampire lord.
And soon, a mass of undead appeared in front of him.
You’ve come to the right place.
* * *
Little boy was not dissatisfied with the fact that his name was Little Boy.
In fact, I know that it is more of a title rather than a name.
But since I never had the original name, I decided to just be content with it.
It’s a little joy
Now he is sitting in a squat with his knees folded.
Inside the iron cabinet that opened smoothly with no traces of time.
The goddess was well aware of the habits of the undead in the universe.
When they cast some elemental magic in a distant place, they flock to it.
I wish I could move to the back, but when I realized it was already a dead end.
The wreckage of this ship, which looked like it was a battleship, did not have a wide corridor.
You don’t have to worry about the sound, but you have to worry about the magic leaking out.
You should also be concerned about the sight of enemies.
The undead, who became the elements of darkness themselves, seemed to see through darkness too easily.
It was a good choice to find a place that looked like a changing room and enter.
At least, there seems to have been no bodies that died while taking a shower.
wiggle your body
Then his arm hits the corner of the cabinet, but there is no sound. But I could see creepy black masses hovering around this area, which gave me chills.
Even in the deep and dark darkness, the corpses were enveloped in a deeper darkness.
He seemed to know what he would look like in the eyes of those corpses.
It will look like a dazzling light.
There was one thing I learned from my stepdad that stayed with me deeply.
The reason all the undead are obsessed with living is because they yearn for it.
They yearn for what they lost and want to get their life back.
Unless it’s the Exile’s Mysterious Card, there’s no way to do that.
So it is vaguely longing.
I don’t know if the little boy longed for life on his own. Before and after death, it was hard and nothing good.
However, in the eyes of those zombies who have no reason and only instinct, the little boy will be seen as a dazzling living person.
If I put everything down, would it be like this?
Will I ever yearn for life again?
As a vampire race, it could not be understood as a kind of vampire who remained strong and supported by reason and wisdom.
It’s actually an excuse. Race doesn’t matter. It’s hard to understand in the light of a short, faded, achromatic life.
What is the difference between the life of a small girl who did not become a vampire voluntarily and received nothing but sympathy from those zombies?
It just roars and doesn’t make a sound.
After all, it’s a cool and dark space in the dark, so I can’t even hear the sound.
“Your father is coming. He hides so calmly that it’s hard for me to say anything more. Very well done.”
The god of chaos is the god respected by all vampires.
According to the information entered in that way, the little boy made a statement that respected the Goddess of Chaos as much as possible.
‘thank you.’
And it was over.
Goddess is confused
“Excessive calm is a disease. Let’s talk about something else. So, how are you doing these days?”
You speak like a grown-up in the family. If you think about it, it’s true. Because you’re like a party patron.
‘I think it’s better than before. Thank you for caring me.’
“Hey, it’s not in my temper to try to comfort me. That’s what he’s good at. I really don’t know this.”
‘… … ?’
While the little boy was puzzled, the goddess grumbled.
“I don’t know how to turn around. So just go ahead and say it. You need to value yourself a little more. And I need to slow down my thinking a bit. Be careful about this, don’t be careful about that, just live a little longer.”
‘I’m already dead before I can live.’
“Don’t turn around. To the exile, the undead are not particularly dead. Isn’t it time you knew it slowly? Living or dead is not determined by the beating of the heart.”
The little boy felt interest in the goddess’s words.
He lived a little over twenty years, but no one had ever said this to him.
The stepfather was kind but cautious, and didn’t talk much. Most of the conversation was the transfer of information.
And mom… … ? I liked the girl who said to call herself, but I don’t know. He seemed to live without thinking.
It was good though. I give her a warm hug every day, comb her hair, and pay attention to whether she is hungry or not.
It seems that I have heard that mothers are considered closer than fathers.
I don’t remember. Because the little boy was an orphan.
I can’t even remember the faces of my biological parents.
And, if we put the pieces together with the knowledge we learned later, is the goddess a grandmother?
The little boy quietly listened to the prophecy. There’s nothing I can do right now anyway.
I just hope the walking corpses don’t find themselves.
“I think I was thinking of something unsettling. Anyway, I mean. A child has the right to behave like a child. When I was still young.”
‘Actually, I am older than my mother.’
“The passing years do not necessarily guarantee maturity. how much do you know Humans are human because there are relationships between people. You’ve been giving up on yourself for a long time and locking yourself up, you’re just a kid. Really kid.”
is it?
I thought quietly without answering the Goddess. Goddess went on to say that she was not trying to read her thoughts.
“Magic talent is the same story as having a good brain after all. I think I’ve seen too many people who are so smart that they set their limits as they please. Better to be an idiot to hit. You are no different from those corpses now.”
‘I think that’s right.’
“Hey. I will welcome you.”
After acknowledging meekly, the little boy concentrated on other remarks.
Are you smart? I?
The little boy didn’t know at all. Magical talent was only recognized very recently.
But there is no awareness I never thought about what I should be good at. It’s been a life that’s just drifted away since I was born.
The little boy was always a sack of barley, and the best thing to do was to be quietly in the corner.
I have more experiences when I was trying to do something and then something big happened. The clan member who made her a vampire right before her death died like that.
After that, the cold atmosphere towards her could be known if not an idiot.
If she hadn’t tried to do something, she might still be alive.
The winter that hit the clan was bitter. I’m just glad it wasn’t thrown away.
In that case, it was most correct to exist as an easy-to-transport package.
So I don’t know how to say that. In fact, I don’t even know the compliments I’ve been receiving lately. I’m just a little relieved that I won’t be abandoned.
Even the fact that he has such a will to survive is sometimes unfamiliar.
Even at the party of strangers called exiles now, the kid is just a piece of luggage. I don’t think I’ve ever actually done anything.
After complete self-objectification, the little boy defined himself as his stepdad’s accessory.
It’s not so unfamiliar. Vampires, who are not very important in the original vampire clan, are accessories of the clan master.
That’s how I’ve been taught
Isn’t that the kind of use a stepdad expects of him after all?
It seems that the Goddess read such an accident.
“That wouldn’t be what he wanted.”
‘is that so?’
So what should I do?
It was completely unknown territory.
Where am I more useful?
Confusion filled the little boy’s little head.
The goddess smiled low and said no more.
no i didn’t
A zombie finally crawls into the dressing room.
The little boy held his breath even though he knew there was no sound. In fact, I’m not even breathing, but it’s a long-standing habit.
Goddess sighs.
“As you get closer, you will see the magic of other elements in their eyes. I’ll have to cover it up with something else, I didn’t want to do this.”
With a simple explanation, the little boy realized what he had to do.
As always with magical matters, the little boy did it.
Elements of darkness scattered everywhere enter the body.
The black magic of the universe penetrated the body of the undead vampire very easily.
It felt like something unfamiliar and cold had penetrated my body.
Even the eyes can clearly see the darkness within.
It seemed that his consciousness was slightly clouded in the familiar coolness.
“Don’t think. Just stay still. Darkness gnaws at the mind.”
‘yes… … .’
“Thoughts are the prey of all darkness. If you have to do it, remember the good memories.”
Undead approaching nearby could not find themselves.
It is impossible to find a figure completely assimilated into darkness.
The little boy wondered what the good memories would be.
Surprisingly, these are all memories of the last few days.
Even though it was only a short time, my heart was filled with them.
A little bit of warmth in a corner of my cold heart.
‘Ummm… … .’
A mental moan that even the Goddess can hear.
The little boy was still confused.
* * *
The god of nature has delivered a tidings.
“The little boy you cherish is in danger of being caught, so it looks like he has absorbed the magic of the surroundings. The chaos is screaming to go very fast.”
‘Oh my god. It dragged too much aggro.’
By the way, why is this ship so damaged? The corpses are also in very good condition.
There aren’t many ships that look like they’ve had a battle.
So are the wreckage of this ship.
Something is strange. It felt as if annihilated without any resistance.
And the kid’s mental state is also ominous.
Hmm, maybe it’s because the darkness is everywhere. It cannot be unaffected. This is why outer space is so bad.
Trauma-stimulating elements are scattered everywhere, which is extremely bad for mental health.
‘Ura-cha-cha-cha-cha!’
“Do I have to let that spirit come to me?”
The god of nature blatantly dislikes it.
But the atmosphere is so down. Humans are simple, and even vaguely shouting makes them feel better.
‘My little one must have a lot of bad memories, right? These elements should be kept out of frequent contact.’
“The guy who said that kind of thing used it as an axis for a trap like that the other day.”
‘You mean the living darkness? But Shakma was no different. It looks dead. But after that, I tried counseling, but the attitude was the same, so I thought it was a talent.’
“I can see why chaos often worries you. There must be a screw missing somewhere. I have never raised a child.”
‘Yes? No, it must be.’
The God of Nature seems to be frustrated with something.
After thinking for a while, I decided not to care. And he was passionate about defeating zombies.
The Martian’s directional explosions are perfect for blasting zombies into space or dumping them somewhere.
The road is opening fast.
* * *
The Federation determined the location of the great Daejeon-sama, who had just appeared, according to the goddess’s jade, and prepared to dispatch a fleet there.
Of course, as a result of the Goddess shouting, the fleet was greatly reduced.
But that wasn’t the point.
Once you figure out the location, whether to warp or not, is the universe a bit expansive?
It’s not uncommon for a bunch of Space Debris to gather there.
If the history of this universe was a series of endless wars and interwar periods, it would be impossible to specify because it was simply a tomb of ships.
Meanwhile, a crucial clue was delivered.
“Isn’t this a battlefield?!”
“The state of preservation of the wreckage is said to be very good.”
The Federation’s best scholars finally pinpointed the location of where the great Great Warriors called them.
But it is a place where warp is impossible.
“Isn’t it the realm of the Dark Spirit King?”
A huge darkness that has materialized. A spirit king with attributes that did not exist before the universe age.
In fact, it’s just a random name, but it’s an area where space monsters that are suspicious even of spirits lurk.
When the universe opened, the Magyeong that devoured the most spaceships.
Immediately, a report was sent to the secretary-general.
The secretary slammed the desk with his fist.
And shouted at the military personnel.
“Warp to the nearest area, then move at full speed! Before the great warrior is devoured by darkness!”
“But it’s a few days away!”
“If it’s like that, I mean, run until the fusion furnace explodes!”
“Why not just try warp?”
Secretary-General Goblachev was shocked by the shift in thinking.
“Okay! There is no one in this Federation who is not prepared to be martyred!”
It’s like a spirit world built in outer space.
Countless ships will disappear through the gaps in space, but that’s no problem.
You only need to reach even one ship.
Irrespective of the cry of the alliance, a part of the Federation fleet, which had stayed on the front line with the Empire, turned its bow.
When the secretary prayed and asked for permission, the goddess approved the warp with great trembling.
