199. You have to be at this level to be the captain
Oren regretted his choice.
A brain that has been partially divided due to a dimensional gap. It was not an ownerless land.
It was a world approaching its end.
[The world of images is slowly collapsing.]
As Siri said, the imagery world could not be maintained and was falling apart little by little.
‘It looks like it can’t be maintained because there is no owner.’
[It seems so.]
Here, Oren has several options. Just getting information and going, or planting a flag on land without an owner.
I wanted to choose the latter and aim for the situation after that.
‘The risk is too great.’
I had no idea what would happen if I planted a flag here. Even if they used that method, it wasn’t now.
‘Then, what to do has been decided.’
He had to quietly walk around, acquire information, and move on to the owner’s land.
‘Hey Siri. Let’s quickly extract information.’
Extracting information from the mental world was simple, but dangerous at the same time.
[Do you want to assimilate with the world of images?]
It was easy because the information of the imagery world came in just by assimilation, but this assimilation was the problem.
If you assimilate with the image world, you will accept the information and emotions that the image world gives you. That inevitably has no choice but to affect the assimilated person.
‘Hold tight. I’ll clean out all the clutter.’
[I will do my best.]
[Leave it to me, Master!]
[Gureuk.]
Fortunately, there were three spirits who would correct it even if it was swept away.
‘let’s go.’
Ciri moved along with Oren’s words. The roots of the sacred tree protruded from Oren’s body and connected it to the world.
[Skill: Consolation is activated.]
[Trait: Priest’s persuasion is activated.]
[Skill: Training is activated.]
[You are in contact with the world of images.]
[The connection is strengthened.]
[A fairy tale begins.]
With the feeling of being sucked into the world, Oren lost consciousness.
* * *
All sorts of emotions pour in from the crumbling world.
longing, sadness, pity.
Tears overflow with sudden emotions. A terrible feeling of loss that you have lost something dominates your body.
Soon, the feeling of loss turned into anger. Anger filled his entire body.
Anger soon turns into madness.
Only the wish to get it back somehow kept her sane.
Then a strange sound is heard.
Kwajik.
The anger disappeared in a lump.
Kwajik.
The madness faded.
Kwajik.

Mind is back
Kwajik.
Oren opened his mouth.
‘stop eating. I’m back.’
[Gureuk!]
[Are you okay?]
‘uh. I’ll take care of my emotions, so wait.’
Oren put the sense of loss and anger that filled his body into a corner.
‘What is this bastard missing?’
I just put it in a corner, but those feelings still exist. Oren’s tone was quite ferocious.
[The image world has been damaged too much. No memories other than emotions remain.]
‘Damn it.’
There were too few clues.
This loss must have been the loss of something, but I had no idea what it was.
‘Person? Or stuff?’
if not both.
‘god?’
What on earth did Lee Ja lose and feel such a terrible sense of loss? Even when he died, he did not have these feelings.
What on earth did he lose to have deeper emotions than when he was facing death?
‘The easiest thing to think of is a family tidyer.’
If you think of it as a family, the front and rear are roughly correct. Even if the world is destroyed, bringing back the family is enough motivation.
‘There’s information the twins got through blood, and if you go to the owner’s land, you’ll be able to get new information.’
The thing to remember here is loss and anger.
These two were enough.
‘Ah, that’s really annoying.’
Waves of emotion still lingered in Oren’s body, tickling his nerves.
‘Eat it and let’s go. I’m going to move sideways.’
[Yes. Okay. I will take action.]
[Gureuk!]
The assimilated feelings soon disappeared. Then, Oren moved to the image world right next to it.
* * *
‘Am I right?’
Oren tilted his head.
There was something strange about this.
[You are right. In the first place, the only places you can move are there and here.]
As Siri said, you can move to the dimensionally separated brain and this side of the brain. There were only two like this. However, the reason I asked this question was because of the surroundings.
‘It’s too small.’
Even if the imagery world was small, it was too small.
It is said that the size of the imagery world varies from person to person, but there is a degree of it.
This was too small even though it was small.
Besides, the shape was also strange.
There were traces of it being cut straight, as if it had been precisely cut.
‘What the hell is this place?’
So while Oren was looking around the world of images.
“Who are you?”
A voice was heard from behind.
As soon as Oren heard the voice, he immediately turned around and lowered his head.
“Greetings. It is a boundary.”
“You managed to come all the way here.”
he replied calmly.
“Are you aware that this is the world of images?”
“Know.”
He could have been impatient, but he seemed rather at peace.
“The body is in a damaged state right now. Do you know?”
“Know. But no worries. It will take time, but the elixir will be in the making.”
He was confined here, but he was watching everything from here.
“There is a faster way than that, so I came here.”
“Are you planning to use the power of vigilance?”
“That’s right. I plan to bring it back to normal by breaking down the boundary between dimensions.”
He thought for a moment, then opened his mouth.
“Dismissed.”
“Yes?”
“There are safer and surer ways, but you don’t have to take the risk.”
“It’s not a very risky job.”
“It’s not without risk.”
“You can buy the most precious time.”
“hour? It doesn’t matter to me.”
The mindset was completely different. This wasn’t something Oren could convince.
“I cannot die. We have to get it back.”
After he said that, for the first time there was a change in his expression.
“But… … . What do I have to get back?”
He couldn’t remember what he had to get back. It seemed that those memories were stored in the dimensionally separated brain.
For a moment, Oren’s eyes lit up.
“Other organs don’t matter. However, the brain is different.”
“brain? Even your brain was hit?”
His expression hardened.
“That’s right. Due to the dimensional gap, part of the mental world has fallen apart.”
“… … That world must be collapsing.”
He knew this too. Like someone who has already separated the world of images.
“Yes. That’s right. Because there is no ego that maintains the world of images. It will collapse soon. Memories so lost may never be found.”
“There is something important there.”
It will. In the eyes of Oren, the driving force that moved him was there.
‘It might be better to just leave it alone.’
If Oren doesn’t heal, he will wake up only after obtaining the elixir. In the meantime, your mental world will collapse and your memory will disappear.
If the memory there is the driving force that moves him, how will he move after it disappears?
‘That’s not what I expected either.’
I didn’t know if I would become an uncontrollable monster or a person who would drop everything and pursue peace. So, I had to bring it to the point where I could control it.
“People form their selves through memories and experiences. Can I lose it?”
Still, he threw a final punch at the troubled man.
“It continues to collapse even now. As time passes, the amount you can get back will decrease.”
The time he said was meaningless began to strangle him.
“The Elixir is currently being moved by an organization to create it. Even if the other parts are treated with the elixir, the brain needs to be treated now.”
“good night.”
An agreement came out of his mouth saying “Absolutely not.” Then, there was no need to hesitate.
“I will start right away.”
“Here?”
“Yes. Rather, it is the best space for treatment. Are you sure you can see it for yourself?”
He nodded.
Oren immediately called Siri.
‘Hey Siri. Prepare the mask.’
[Yes. Prepare a mask.]
At that moment, a mask containing the power of vigilance appeared in Oren’s hand. Darkness stared at him.
“It’s quite right.”
“thank you. Then, can I use the Authority?”
“okay.”
“I will restore the dimensional gap to normal in an instant, so please wait for the rest of the process.”
“I’ll take care of it, let’s get started.”
I thought there would be something special, but he just agreed and waited.
Oren activated the power of vigilance.
‘Hey Siri! Start!’
With Oren’s words, Ciri triggered autosuggestion.
[Skill: Self-Suggestion is activated.]
After activating autosuggestion and forcibly creating a will.
‘I want the boundary between the two image worlds to return to normal!’
I put my will into the power of the boundary.
[Self-suggestion succeeded.]
The self-suggestion succeeded, and the power of vigilance immediately began to move. The world of images, which had been completely separated, began to find its place little by little.
The problem was that it required too much power than expected.
[All energy is depleted.]
[You reach low energy after 5 seconds. Life is consumed.]
Of course, Oren wasn’t taken aback.
“I don’t have enough strength!”
On this side, there is the head of the Darkness.
He placed his hand on Oren’s shoulder.
“I can handle authority quite well, but my strength is still lacking.”
He shared his power.
‘crazy.’
Oren was startled by the enormous energy. It felt like I could do everything, just like when I borrowed the power of the residents to create a halo.
[The dimensional gap is quickly resolved.]
Soon, the separated mental worlds were reunited. And, a huge change has taken place.
* * *
Darkness made the crumbling world of images its own again.
As the boundary said, the place was collapsing and disappearing. All I could get from that place was emotion.
‘I have these feelings… … .’
It’s just an emotion, and it shakes him. His body was shaken by a torrent of emotions.
Along with the terrible sense of loss, anger close to madness filled his body.
‘I lost something.’
He made sure he was missing something.
‘So I was furious.’
I confirmed that I was filled with anger at the loss.
I’ve never felt impatient before. I thought my time was infinite.
I was in such a hurry. I wanted to get this back soon. I’ve been living lost for far too long.
“Listen to the boundaries.”
The first thing he had to do was remember what he had lost.
“Get out of the world of images and forcefully wake me up. I will recover lost memories.”
“Do you have a way?”
“It’s just a matter of reaping the separated selves. First, get out of here and wake me up.”
His gaze was fixed on the boundary. He felt that if he hadn’t been an author, he would have lost the most important thing to him.
“good. It’s a boundary.”
