Side Story – The World Beyond (1)
The Rud family may have felt a little unfair. This is because, unlike Orca, he could not defeat the continental forces gathered together with just the power he possessed.
“These evil guys ended up destroying this demon world…”
“Shut up, you incompetent bastard. “Do you think we’ll lose just because they joined forces?”
Sensing that this was the last resistance, he scolded his subordinates. Everyone else thought it was because there were too many continental powers united as one, but Rudga thought differently.
‘The difference in numbers is meaningless. We are stronger They had no heroes, and they had no choice but to be stronger than those who wasted all their strength fighting among themselves. But…’
His eyes saw cannons with flashing gun barrels. The Dwarven Artillery Corps, now experts in handling gunpowder, dragged the cannon and fired gunpowder at random.
The bullets fired by the elves riding on the fairy ants were also annoying. The game changed when the things they brought in from Earth and dismissed as useless appeared in large numbers in legions.
However, the fundamental problem was not only visible. From airships that fly freely in the sky after taking over air superiority, to large golems that take on the role of heavy armored assault troops equipped with magic steam engines that emit steam instead of magic stones, to battlebots that run wild with huge bodies.
‘They are better.’
The biggest difference was the difference in development. They also fought fiercely in the Demon World and developed their own technologies, but the miracle achieved by the continent in that short period of time was a miracle called the Magic Revolution.
How on earth is that possible? It was not simply achieved through the capabilities of the continental powers alone.
“Eden. “They are the culprits!”
I’ve already heard the rumors. A land ruled directly by the only existing god. Even the demons who had been kicked out of the demon world came back to the demon world, having become stronger after receiving various support there.
“Warchief!”
“This is our last. “Be sure to use all your resources to push them out!”
Ludga ordered the final battle. He wanted to somehow overcome this crisis by releasing all the power he had, regardless of whether it was unfinished or something.
“There is nothing we can do. Mobilize the test subjects!”
What was mobilized in the process was the power of the warrior developed using hunters airlifted from Earth. Although it was merely an imitation rather than the power of a true warrior, it was still a sweet treat in a drought for them.
“Huh?! “You’re going over!”
“What are these guys!”
The test subjects that were being studied in secret began to run amok. The experiment, which used Earthlings and was now in the stage of transplanting the power to ordinary demons, succeeded in creating more than hundreds of test subjects.
Ludga smiled faintly as he watched the test subjects faithfully following orders. The giant Battlebot eventually reached its limit and retreated with its damaged body, and the Allied Forces’ attack also wavered.
I didn’t have any expectations, but I felt like maybe, if I did well, I could turn things around.
“I guess I’ll have to write it eventually.”
“Queen!”
“I will use it appropriately. “Without getting hurt.”
However, that was Rudga’s wish. The Allied Forces were also conserving their strength. Serenian, who was giving instructions to his elves and fairy ants to take out batteries the size of houses, had to sweat to calm down the elves who were trying to stop him.
‘Poor victims. Now there will be no need to use it as a plaything anymore.’
Serenian, who began to draw the enormous power dormant in the huge battery, raised his bow in the midst of a huge thunderstorm that raged around him.
“It’s the elf queen’s lightning strike.”
“Is that the rumored lightning house?”
Everyone around me took a step back with serious faces and flinched at the power of that enormous 1.5 Volt battery.
What she was aiming at, covered in such electricity, were the test subjects running wild on the battlefield. Her arrow, which flew in kilometers, accurately shot and took the lives of the test subjects with its incredible power.
“Ha, hahahaha! What a f*cking unfair world! “Some people run wild after receiving such a precious gift, but others…”
As even the last hopes he believed in were knocked down one by one by arrows flying from afar, Rudga, who sensed his defeat, glared with resentful eyes at the batteries piled up behind Serenian.
Those batteries were unfair in themselves. A special sacred object containing lightning, given directly by God.
When he looked at the bundles of batteries worth 5,000 won and cried out that it was an unfair world, everyone in the field sympathized with him, regardless of whether he was affiliated or not.

“Are you doing well? “I was surprised that you were hurt.”
“Of course. And just a few scratches is all.”
I don’t know what the world inside the flower pot is like where the news of victory has just exploded, but in reality it is an ordinary afternoon and a guest comes to the house.
“Nothing special, I brought some kimchi.”
“Thank you. “I will eat well.”
I woke up in front of the flower pot and received a container of kimchi from the man. As he handed it over, he glanced at the veranda.
“I want to show you, but I can’t.”
“I know, too. It’s something I can’t see anyway. And I said I’m not interested.”
When I laughed, he cleared his throat and shook his head. In fact, I don’t know if it was the first time he told me his secret, but he seemed to show interest in the flower pots as time passed.
When I told her that I, who killed Orca, had successfully avenged her daughter, her heart seemed to have reached its peak.
“I already told you, you killed that bad guy, so that’s it. “So that it doesn’t happen again… take good care of it.”
“It must be like that.”
“And this house, if you need it to take care of the flower pots, just take it.”
“Yes?”
However, it did not end there. When he said he would give me a house, I looked at him with a puzzled expression. But it seemed like the uncle had already made up his mind.
“You can modify it however you want, and use it as you please. “I wouldn’t do that much to my daughter’s benefactor.”
“Isn’t this your uncle’s hideout?”
“If I can’t let go of my regrets and keep dwelling on them, I can’t help it because I feel like they will keep coming back to me.”
The man who was sighing already looked very tired. Because I could understand his feelings a little, I did not force myself to refuse.
“What are your future plans? Just living a normal life and taking care of flower pots? “Aren’t you getting married?”
“Probably so. “As for marriage…I don’t know.”
I chuckled. For the time being, the world in the flower pot needed me. Until they are fully established and able to stand on their own.
And until the faithfully accumulated faith points reach the target. I will continue to take care of the plants until then.
Once I reach my goal, I assimilate the flower pots into the other world. Just like my predecessors did.
‘When that time comes, I will have to make a choice.’
Will we stay in reality or will we go there together? It was something that couldn’t be decided right now.
But actually, I had already made up my mind.
When I think about the place that accepted me and held me back in the past when I was wandering around the world aimlessly in a virtual state of being returned, the time will come when I too will have to leave, like the man who wants to abandon this villa to let go of his regrets.
“Well, you are still alive and well, so when that time comes, I will no longer be in the world.”
“You never know, it might still be true even after 100 years of age.”
“What are you talking about?”
The man laughed and left the house like that. It was a little later that this villa became my property through legal procedures.
‘Is this really the end?’
When I returned to the flower pots again, I looked down at the flower pots that were celebrating.
A festival to celebrate victory and comfort the victims. I heard that this was happening all over the continent, and Serenian was in the middle of it.
“Let’s set the mood.”
I chuckled and took out an item just as the sun was about to set. It was a mirror ball that would embellish this veranda with beautiful light.
“It’s beautiful. But if you use too much force because of us…”

“No need to worry. “I don’t know if you believe it, but you just click a button to turn it on.”
Serenian, who had met and talked for the first time in a long time, looked at the sky decorated with beautiful lights and looked slightly worried.
When I saw that, I laughed. She, who did not know the existence of mirror balls, seemed to think that I was using some special power to draw pictures in the sky.
“Now that I have solved the last remaining problem, I will really retire.”
“I thought I had to step down.”
Serenian said she would now step down as queen. Despite her wishes, she said it was necessary.
Through my past experience, I realized that if too much is concentrated on a specific person, it will inevitably start to become corrupted.
“No matter how hard I try, I can’t care about everything. “It’s better to block the cause altogether.”
“It’s not wrong. “In the end, it’s a choice.”
I did not oppose what she said because I knew how big and bold the events she had experienced in this short period of time were.
Now that the period of turmoil is over, it may be better to move forward with a fresh start during the growth period.
“Of course, I am just getting started.”
“…”
Besides, retiring didn’t mean she gave up everything. There is still a lot of work for her, or rather for the two of us, to do in this flower pot.
