131 – 27. Character Event – Kim Eun-ha
.
A special skill that can be used as a glass teapot artifact obtained through a job skill.
In the meantime, I used it based on my intuition, but I didn’t know exactly what the effect was.
‘Now I know for sure.’
Numerology is a kind of illusion.
To be precise, it is a skill that embodies the boundary between fantasy and reality.
‘It also brought out the Aileen within the saint.’
This is because the inner world of the saint was created as an illusion.
If it were just a fantasy, the Eileen I met there would also have been a fantasy.
Eileen actually regained her personality through her memories.
‘It is also what broke Hector’s spirit.’
Hektro’s heyday and shooting stars were created as a fantasy, and their influence even extended to reality.
From one perspective, it is fantasy, and from another perspective, it is reality.
The coexistence of those dual aspects is
Numerology.
Thanks to entering the dream gate, I was finally able to understand the essence of numerology.
Like a dream within a dream, the boundary between fantasy and reality is extremely vague.
‘It was a bit late to realize it, though.’
The glass kettle has already been smashed, and of course numerology can no longer be used.
It was entirely my fault for letting my guard down. During the duel with Hector, I didn’t know that he, who was chained all over his body, would aim for the kettle despite his arms being twisted.
Thanks to that, I was able to scrape together the shattered glass teapot and somehow put it back together……
‘It was just a one-time use.’
Therefore, the powerful skill called Had to be used carefully.
That was right now.
“……Yes.”
“Well done, princess.”
I benefited greatly from that.
It was really hard though.
‘There were two things that were wrong with my expectations.’
One was to underestimate .
The original plan was to satisfy By continuously killing me in the illusion created by .
It was after the fifth death that I realized it was a really stupid idea.
‘The pain is temporary, so I can endure it, but the desire to live does not end.’
In the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth loops.
Kim Eun-ha got drunk on
Slaughter and killed everyone in the castle, including me. Then, she went outside and killed over 100,000 people in total.
No matter how much it was an illusion created through numerology, Kim Eun-ha did not realize that it was an illusion until the loop ended.
That means that even when you kill someone, your Is being fulfilled.
‘It’s too bad.’
It’s not a joke, it felt like Wouldn’t end even if 1 million people were killed.
Of course, it was clear that I would die mentally before I could handle such a death on my own.
And the second thing that was wrong.
‘There are limits to the loop of .’
Numbers are definitely a powerful skill that creates a boundary between reality and fantasy.
You can’t use it infinitely.
‘The conditions for Are all three.’
1. Act like a fortune teller and fill the glass jug with water.
2. It should be a starry night.
And 3. I should not believe in numerology.
The problem was the third condition.
‘If I keep dying, and before I know it, I also recognize the fantasy in numerology as reality…….’
In fact, I forgot about For a moment during the 28th loop.
Even if it is only a fantasy death, I, as the subject using , Must remember every moment of death.
It was very tiring…… It was hard work.
To the point where I just want to lose my mind and close my eyes.
I don’t know how long I can endure. I don’t know what my limits are.
Therefore, we had to resolve Kim Eun-ha’s
As quickly and effectively as possible.
That’s the method I came up with.
‘The pain of loss.’
Not everything is initialized every time the loop.
If that were the case, Would also be reset, so the existing plan of satisfying Through repeated deaths would have been useless…… In reality, it was useless.
It may be a fantasy, but it is ultimately reality, so a faint sense of discomfort remains every time I go back to the beginning.
It’s so faint, and Kim Eun-ha has left her mind to
So she just remembers it and doesn’t do anything about it.
So I decided to stimulate my mind.
Not the ‘complete’ Kim Eun-ha with , But the ‘imperfect’ spirit of Kim Eun-ha that I met at the Academy.
‘Recovering Does not mean that all existing memories disappear.’
If that were the case, Kim Eun-ha’s spirit would have stopped at the age of seven when she was first sealed away.
But she remembered me, and it was clear she remembered her days at the Academy.
If so, definitely.
He must have remembered Kim Eun-ha’s ‘pain of loss.’
‘The reason why Was sealed in the first place.’
After killing her mother and suffering from the pain of loss that she no longer had a mother, she chose to seal her And become incomplete.
It was the emperor who made the decision, but she also accepted it obediently.
I decided to stimulate that part.
It wasn’t that difficult.
This is a fantasy of
Numerology, and like a lucid dream, I could manipulate it as I wanted.
That’s why you kill me.
Go to the princess’s palace and have them kill the people who made up their childhood memories.
Make me kill.
Let the oppressors die.
Make me kill.
Have them kill the leader of the shadows.
Make me kill.
He made me kill my father.
Make me kill.
He made me kill my brother.
Make me kill.
He killed everyone at the academy.
I seemed to be more shocked when I died, so I had no choice but to die even more.
We gathered only those who were as nostalgic, affectionate, and likely to shock Kim Eun-ha as possible.
This is the result.
“Thank you for your patience.”
“…I don’t…I want to kill you…”
It is said in a grandiose way, ‘the pain of loss,’ but it is not very effective.
This is because it was after Kim Eun-ha was released from That she truly felt the pain of loss.
When I was intoxicated with
The pain of loss was too slight.
So I repeated it dozens of times.
‘…… No, how many hundreds of times was it?
Maybe it was thousands of times.
Isn’t it an illusion that the princess doesn’t kill me now?
I shouldn’t believe in .
At some point, her head became dizzy ──
“…Namgoong Min.”
“Princess…?”
“……Thank you, it’s exactly as you said.”
“Yes?”
“I trust you, and you solved the problem. Even my
Life…”
Excited. Excited.
Kim Eunha hugs me.
Her breasts and mine touch each other.
The heart sounds of two people were heard.
“Sassim is still screaming. Kill you, open your chest and take out your heart.”
“……….”
“But, I don’t feel like doing that at all. If I do that… I’ll lose you. You won’t have to hug me like this anymore…”
Excited. Excited. Excited.
“So…I’ll be patient.”
“……Princess.”
“Just like I regretted killing my mother, I don’t want to regret losing you.”
With those words, Eunha Kim lies in my arms with her eyes closed and a relaxed expression on her face.
…… Well, that’s a little creepy to hear from someone who’s already killed me a thousand times over.
I think I’ve lost my mind a bit.
You must keep in mind that if you lose your mind, it will really be the end.
Like a person who cannot wake up from a lucid dream, living like a brain in a vat within Is an option.
‘Come to your senses, Nam Goong Min.’
Others may not know, but I should not believe in numerology.
In the end, we must recognize that this is just the boundary between fantasy and reality.
So if you achieve what you want in fantasy.
Now it’s time to bring it into reality.
“How long can you endure?”
“…I will never kill you.”
“What about other people?”
“……I won’t last long.”
“Princess, it won’t take long. You need to come to your senses.”
Boom!! Kwabang!!!
“Is this…?”
“If you’re having a hard time, just close your eyes in my arms. It will be over soon.”
“Yes…”
Now, as if this isn’t just a fantasy in , The entire dungeon begins to vibrate due to something.
Vibrations and loud noises ring in my ears, and shards of a broken glass kettle are stepped on under my feet.
“After…….”
From Noble mtl dot com
Okay, this is reality. It’s not about numerology.
So, it has always been like that.
Let’s not forget that you only get one chance.
“I’m going.”
“If we’re together, we can go anywhere.”
Artifact .
Now again.
It’s time to speak out.
*
Boom! Quack!!
“Hurry and subdue them!”
“Damn it! Where is the captain!?”
“Run away now! Where did you get such a thief from?”
“Catch the dirty shadows!”
Inside the imperial castle, near the emperor’s office.
Hwangseong had already been shaken by the untimely uproar.
“Buy time until the boss comes!”
“Let’s catch His Excellency the oppressor before he comes!!”
The shadows directly under the emperor, and the police and intelligence units directly under the oppressor.
Although they didn’t get along well, they were from the same emperor faction and were being chased.
“Damn it, Captain!?”
“There has been no news since I went to see Your Majesty!”
“There are only more than ten people here. How many people did they mobilize…?”
And of course, the shadows were outnumbered.
In essence, they are specialized in chasing, following, and assassinating, but do not engage in all-out combat.
Of course, everyone had high combat ability, but even so, including the leader, there were not even 20 shadows.
On the other hand.
“Where is your Excellency the Oppressor?”
“You went to catch the captain who was trying to kidnap Your Majesty.”
“Then we just have to wipe them out from here. For the sake of the Korean Empire!”
“”””For!!””””
The oppressor’s base is soldiers.
The military force itself did not take either the side of the emperor or the prince, but the police forces and intelligence units under the oppressor were not organizations in name only.
At first glance, there were easily over a thousand troops, enough to stage a military coup, chasing the shadows.
The shadows somehow avoid and counterattack, but they are caught one by one by the overwhelming defense.
The emperor’s office was also in turmoil.
Kang! Kakang!!
“You oppressor! How dare you deceive me again!!!”
“You have a long mouth. You traitor.”
“You are the traitor! The seven ministers are just an excuse and you were planning to deal with me from the beginning!!”
“It’s in front of His Majesty the Emperor. Don’t spout nonsense.”
“This guy!”
A non-combat occupation called , And an oppressor who has a special skill called But is already elderly.
Oppression is a skill that can finish you off once you are hit, but it has the limitation that it can only be activated when you make eye contact with the opponent.
The captain, who knew him well, swung his sword to cut out the oppressor’s eyes without looking at his face.
On the other hand, the oppressor enjoyed the advantage of visibility and was somehow able to withstand the captain’s sword strikes.
And the emperor looked at them.
“…What’s going on?”
For some reason, I couldn’t come to my senses due to the commotion that broke out in the early morning.
As he was staying up all night waiting for the fortune teller to be brought by the shadows, the captain suddenly came in and told him that he had to go quickly and that he was escorting him out of the palace. Then, the oppressor appeared in front of him, calling the captain a traitor and fighting with him.
It was Hongdukkae in the middle of the night, when it really wasn’t.
Where else is there a fortune teller to bring?
“You sent someone to deceive me so well…!!”
“Then you didn’t send the shadow. Oh, was it an impersonator?”
“Are you kidding me? I should have cut off that head 6 years ago!!”
“He has no loyalty.”
“I don’t want to hear it!”
What on earth happened that makes the shadows and the oppressors, who are of the same faction and not on good terms, fight for their lives?
What on earth…… Days………
“…No way.”
A moment when a fortune teller appeared in the emperor’s mind.
Another vibration echoed throughout the imperial castle.
Bam!!!
“This, this!?”
“In the princess’s private room…!”
“What? No!”
As soon as it was discovered that the source of the vibration was the princess’s private room.
The emperor moved ahead of the leader of the shadows and ahead of the oppressor.
A special occupation of only three people in the Korean Empire .
The member jumped in an instant, clenched his fist and swung it to the floor.
Kwaaang!!
Although he was worse than the princess, the emperor, who had destroyed enough of the floor, jumped under it.
The captain and the oppressor rushed in after the emperor.
The princess’s private room, just below the emperor’s office.
The place was already a mess.
Broken and broken furniture, torn and scattered documents.
And.
Under the private room, to the endless hole.
“Ah, this place is connected like this.”
“…Lieutenant Colonel Namgoong Min?”
“Shadow impersonator?”
“……Huh?”
“Hmm?”
The emperor, the captain, and the oppressor hurried into the private room.
On the other side of the huge bottomless pit, there was a familiar face.
Black hair, a smiling face, and a voice I heard somewhere else.
Lieutenant colonel of the intelligence unit, impersonator of the shadow, and fortune teller who was the first to derail foresight.
Nam Goong Min waved his hand at them.
“We saw it earlier, right?”
“…Your bastard.”
“No way.”
“Did you notice? I disrupted the relationship between you two. It wasn’t good to begin with.”
Only then did the captain and oppressor realize that they had been played by Namgoong Min and expressed their anger.
He aimed the sword in his hand and glared with fierce eyes.
But even in the meantime, it was clearly visible that the oppressor was looking at the captain.
“Shadow, mediator, and oppressor. These are the three axes that make up the emperor’s faction. There are many other supporters, but those are the three forces that the emperor can actually mobilize.”
“You bastard! How dare you call His Majesty careless!!!”
“So, I deceived the shadows and encouraged the oppressors. The shadows and the oppressors do not get along very well, and they are people who will point their swords at each other as soon as a justification arises. Just like now.”
“……………….”
“The oppressor seems to think it’s an internal cleanup, but in the end, this means undermining the emperor’s faction. Now, let’s think about it.”
“The shadows have already been suppressed by the forces of the oppressors.”
“The oppressor forces are disturbing the imperial palace, seemingly as if it were a coup d’état.”
“And now the arbitrator has already left for the academy.”
“Who will be the remaining emperor faction?”
“……….”
At Namgoong Min’s words, the color disappears from the faces of the captain and the oppressor, as if they sensed how the situation was going.
But even in the meantime.
The emperor’s eyes were focused on the princess held by Namgoong Min.
Even after regaining her
Her life, she still has her peaceful face.
“…How?”
“Now that the emperor’s faction has become so weak.”
“What did you do to Eunha!!”
“Who would welcome that most?”
“………!!”
Then the captain, who was listening to Namgoong Min’s story as if possessed, tried to swing his sword, but stopped before he could swing it.
It was because the princess was in Namgoong Min’s arms.
In that brief moment when the captain hesitated, the fortuneteller smiled.
“Well, the answer is obvious, right?”
“No way…!!!”
And.
Bam!!!
“Catch those who are disturbing the imperial castle!”
“Um, what are those!?”
“It’s solemn! It’s His Royal Highness’s visit!!”
“Woe, Your Majesty the Prince…!”
A voice echoes from beyond the princess’s private room, from the main gate of the castle.
Immediately after that, the commotion heard beyond the wall gradually diminished.
At the point when I couldn’t hear any shouts, shouts to catch him, or anyone running or chasing him.
I open the door to the private room, which is already a mess, and someone comes in.
“Prince, are you here?”
“It’s been a while, Namgoong Min.”
“Isn’t it just one day at most?”
“That’s true too.”
Prince of the Korean Empire, Kim Seong-il.
And Nam Goong Min waves to him.
The two people looked at each other and smiled.
“Okay then.”
“……………….”
“Father, no…Your Majesty the Emperor.”
“……Bastard.”
“Please wait in the room for a moment, I will put an end to the commotion in Hwangseong.”
“Yes, you bastard!!!”
Between the captain and the oppressor, whose eyes are wide open and unable to say anything.
Despite the emperor’s anger, Kim Seong-il smiled.
“A position to control others, not to be controlled by others.”
“How dare you!!!”
“It was pretty good advice.”
It happened less than a day after a fortune teller came to the Korean Empire.
