40. Song Xia and An Yumin’s Jealousy (1)
It was an unfamiliar space that seemed familiar.
A little while ago, I was outside at night.
However, the newly entered space was very bright.
A mirror that is tightly placed on the wall on all four sides.
My reflection was reflected in the mirror.
‘As expected, they entered a different floor from the party.’
A hallway that is not a wide hall.
I hurriedly checked the room number of the room.
[20XX]
four seats. And when I saw the number starting with 20, I was sure it was on the 20th floor.
The first time I entered, I was on the 10th floor, so that level has risen.
Perhaps the reason why I can’t see the other party is because they are on a lower floor than me.
‘It’s a good opportunity.’
The Hotel of Mirrors is a space that only Theia’s cadets can enter in the original work.
So there won’t be any danger to the other cadets who entered together.
I briefly checked the quest notification.
[Letisine and the Mirror’s Hotel]——–
[The quest ‘Hotel of the Mirror’ is in progress.]
▶ Hurry up and enter the upper floors of the hotel.
: Only cadets of Theia Academy are eligible.
▷▷ You entered the 20th floor for the first time. / User: The unknown
——-
The quest description was very unfriendly with other quests.
It’s just an instruction to go upstairs.
The word ‘hurry up’ bothered me a little. First of all, since he was on the 20th floor, he was much more relaxed than the other cadets.
‘Am I the first to enter the 20th floor?’
I was reminded of my purpose.
The purpose of coming here is to strengthen the orb.
And to secure more clues about this space. I had to do it quickly while I had time.
‘Because the other cadets don’t know anything about the Hotel of Mirrors yet.’
Legacy of Retisane. The ultimate item hidden somewhere in this hotel.
In the original scenario mode, the highest floor that An Yu-min could enter was the 49th floor.
At that point, the story about Theia’s secret had already progressed.
There was a high possibility that the legacy would exist on the 50th floor.
‘I must enter that place.’
The one who saved the world that was about to come to an end is Archmage Letisane.
As it is a relic he left behind, just acquiring that legacy will change the future landscape.
The Absolute with the most power and might. To the extent that it can surpass Song Yu-hwan.
And the key to that is An Yu-min.
No one in Theia would know that An Yu-min was Letisane’s daughter.
I hurriedly walked down the aisle.
Although it is a space full of white walls and mirrors, enough to drive people crazy, no, to feel fear.
I knew the rules of this space to some extent.
‘Contact with An Yu-min. The more points there are, the more there will be a way to enter the top.’
Information known from the original source. And when I entered this place with An Yu-min before, I figured out the identity of the space to some extent.
The reason why the cadets were able to enter this place was because An Yu-min was a cadet.
Besides, I was a special person to An Yu-min.
To the extent that her father, Letisane, recognized that fact and presented me with the Mask of the Unknown.
– Dear you. I wish you well my daughter.
I took the mask in my hand.
Inside the mask, a message from Letisane was still written.
‘Please, Ira.’
Letisine was already known to be dead.
If you look at the fact that he wrote down the word request and left this item behind.
After all, even if they were dead or alive, they wouldn’t be in a state where they could move directly.
If he was fine, he would have directly intervened with An Yu-min without leaving a message asking me to ask.
However, at least it was certain that Letyssain’s will remained in this hotel of mirrors.
‘At the Hotel of Mirrors, An Yu-min repeatedly killed countless women because of me.’
To that extent, An Yu-min’s deep inside is obsessed with me.
The reason I was able to go straight to the 20th floor like this must have been because of that relationship.
Ironically, I was going to take away everything An Yu-min had to take.
And on the 25th floor, there is definitely a special space where you can strengthen items.
Of course, the first strengthener can get more buffs.
He had no intention of yielding to An Yu-min or the members of Aegis.
‘Because other than me, the members of An Yu-min’s party, Aegis, will climb the hotel the fastest.’
It meant that Song Shia, who entered together, could enter the upper floor than me.
I wore a mask
As I remember, the dungeons that opened after the 20th floor were quite tricky.
‘The 20th floor section was definitely a section that could strengthen the cadet’s weaknesses.’
In other words, it was a layer that had to face its own vulnerabilities head-on.
Even in the form of villains or monsters. Since it was a virtual dungeon, dealing with the enemies wasn’t particularly strange.
I opened the door to a room on the 20th floor.
And the moment I opened the door and entered, I ran into an unexpected person.
An Yu-min was there. The sight of her gave me goosebumps.
***
again – again –
Meanwhile, Song Si-ah, who was with Lee Jun-woo.
She was walking down an unfamiliar hallway alone.
‘Here. Could it be that it was a fantasy-type dungeon that only circulated through rumors?’
A rumored dungeon that some elite cadets entered.
I thought it was not a simple rumor since Jung Woon-kyung was seriously interested in it.
I didn’t know that I would be able to enter as suddenly as now, so I was a little flustered, unlike her.
Of course, there was no such thing as fear at all.
The reason for the embarrassment was that he had fallen with Lee Jun-woo, who was also with him.
‘I was able to be alone with Lee Jun-woo after a long time. If it weren’t for those damn cadets…’
Arrogantly, the cadets of True Apostles started a fight with Lee Jun-woo.
Cadets who have ties to Valhalla’s apostles.
So everyone got used to it.
I don’t remember the name at all.
One of them seems to have been the right hand of Yun Gun-woo.
Actually, whether those guys died or not, Song Xia didn’t care at all.
Rather, I had a fight with Lee Jun-woo.
Even if he died, he was self-employed.
‘But Lee Jun-woo… Jun-woo saved them.’
Moreover, the monster the party encountered was at least a B-class monster, Lamia.
An enemy so strong that even the members of the elite cadets, the True Apostles, are put on the defensive.
However, Lee Jun-woo had no hesitation in helping them.
‘Even though Jun-woo could have been seriously injured if he wasn’t careful…’
Even the guys who got into a fight first.
I couldn’t believe the situation, so I remember asking why I was helping them.
– Don’t ask for obvious things. It’s the same Theia’s motive.
However, Lee Jun-woo dismissed those questions with a single word.
‘As far as I know… Junwoo is the same.’
In fact, Lee Jun-woo was always like that.
He was kind and did his best to help people.
Much more than An Yu-min, who always plays hero.
Because Lee Jun-woo was the person who was always blunt and always talked to himself even when he ignored him.
Even after leaving the Aegis, Lee Jun-woo’s kindness did not change.
‘i like you. no i love you Even a woman like me… Because it’s Junwoo… I came to know this feeling.’
Along with that thought, I felt uneasy at the same time.
There is no way that other women are unaware of Lee Jun-woo’s kindness.
Although he made Lee Jun-woo his own through blood-sucking.
It seems that the hypnotic effect is still not perfect.
Stray cats can be twisted at any time.
‘I hate that!’
If you don’t receive Lee Jun-woo’s love and attention.
Songxia will die like her mother.
It was absolutely unacceptable for other women to receive Lee Jun-woo’s attention.
“Hmm?”
But then a sudden sound stopped her.
fluff-
A special space where even the walls on all four sides are made of mirrors.
I haven’t opened the room separately yet because I don’t know what danger it might be.
One of the rooms in the hotel opened by itself.
Was that light leaking out?
It meant there must be something in it.
‘Let’s go in.’
I had already walked that hallway for a long time.
Still, I couldn’t see the hall or the elevator. Even the emergency stairs.
So, if it’s really a dungeon, there must be some escape conditions or clear conditions.
Although there may be something dangerous out there.
If she had awakened the true blood, it would be fine.
Xia Song crossed the door.
And, at the scene unfolding inside it, I clenched my fists.
“What is this… dog thing…”
Surprisingly, the scenery of Theia High School unfolded beyond it.
Song Shia also graduated from Theia High School.
So it was bound to be a familiar scene for her as well.
But in that familiar landscape, unbelievable scenes were unfolding.
An Yu-min and Lee Jun-woo.
The two were spending time together at the high school.
A scene of youth unfolding like a panorama.
Although the distance between the two of them was not close enough to be called a couple.
Unlike the cold expression of Ahn Yu-min now.
He was smiling wide at Lee Jun-woo.
And Lee Jun-woo was also enjoying watching An Yu-min smile.
It wasn’t just having fun.
Song Xia, who realized the feeling of love, now knew.
when you really love someone
Even if you’re not conscious of it, that gaze always follows only the person you love.
Lee Jun-woo was looking at An Yu-min as if he was really lovable.
Theia high school days. Lee Jun-woo was always kind to himself.
Songxia suddenly remembered.
Lee Jun-woo had never shown such an eye toward himself.
‘As for me… Ahn Yoo-min has memories that I can never have…’
Even to Lee Jun-woo now.
I’ve never received such affectionate glances.
Song Xia’s whole body trembled with resentment.
“Ahn Yoo-min…”
