Should I say that my heart is broken?
That kind of feeling tried to devour me several times.
Every time that happened, the characteristics saved ‘me’ from madness.
Impossible characteristics.
It seemed absolutely impossible for madness to consume ‘me’.
“What shall I do now…”
At that time, ‘I’ muttered.
That face was no longer that of a narrow-eyed person.
The way he speaks is also the same.
It was evidence that ‘I’ was driving out the characteristics that make up itself.
“Yeah… I know… I have a set list of things to do… Clear the achievements… See the happy ending…”
‘I’ continued a monologue, not a monologue, as if divided into two people.
“But damn… What’s the use of all that…”
The ‘I’, who was laughing as if he had lost his mind, soon faced the front as if he had gained a deep realization-
I stared into space.
“In the first place, why am I doing this? For who? For what?”
‘My’ pupils lost their focus.
“When you clear achievements? When you see a happy ending? What’s there then? To be recognized by those dog-like scumbags who don’t understand the language? Dammit. Let’s use that kind of thing.”
‘I’ affectionately stroked the tombstone.
They treated me with an unchanging attitude even after they realized who I was.
People who fully accepted ‘me’.
The most precious relationships of ‘I’.
They were no more.
“I hoped that someday… The day would come when I could live a normal life with you without any worries…”
‘I’ muttered that for a long time, then looked at the tombstone with a determined face.
‘Uh-‘
I was embarrassed and tried to stop ‘me’, but-
In the end, ‘I’ commits it.
‘I’ dug up the tombstone.
I took out their coffins and expressed their will with black magic.
The coffin rattles.
Soon, the coffin opens and-
“Oh, Ceylon! Long time no see!”
“Oh. The construction must be very busy, but to see your face reflected like this. I’m so happy I don’t know what to do.”
“Hmph! Annoying human being. You show your face shamelessly.”
“Idiot~! I missed you~~~ Come see me often~”
“Could Bower be part of this moving moment of reunion?”
A familiar face greeted me.
“Ha ha ha.”
‘I’ burst into laughter.
hahahahaha!!!
Insanely.
Their bodies were clearly missing.
And the place where they are now is the tombstone of the academy.
But.
They didn’t find anything strange.
Now, they didn’t come back to life.
They are-
No, they were nothing more than dolls that moved according to ‘my’ wishes, based on ‘my’ memories.
“What is it! That laugh. It makes me feel-“
The moment when ‘it’ in the shape of Miss Huivien was about to pout at ‘me’.
‘They’ were scattered on the floor again after the thread was cut.
‘I’ looked at it quietly.
Damn it.
There was a huge crack in my heart that hadn’t existed before.

As always, the moment when the characteristics tried to close the crack.
“Let’s stop…”
‘I’ has reaped the power of a characteristic.
And then I let go of everything.
Then, the darkness and denial that ‘I’ had suppressed pour out into the world.
They swallowed ‘me’. ‘I’ became darkness.
Surprisingly, the first thing the dark did was clear the achievements.
It completely cleared away the darkness of this world, including Harasin and the Black Roots.
No, I ate it.
Just. It didn’t stop there.
It ate all the darkness and became the only darkness, and soon began to eat the light.
There stood the darkness that would one day bring destruction to the world.

‘…’
At some point, I’m back to the present-
No, I was back in the future.
Even so, I was still confused as if I was peeping at the memories of the past.
‘What the f*ck… Did I just see…?’
Those people die because of my lack.
I’m going to lose my mind over it and drive the world to destruction?
The moment those overwhelming memories and emotions tried to swallow me.
‘No, no.’
I managed to escape them.
‘Calm down.’
That’s the future that hasn’t happened yet.
Thus, if I stay alert, I can change it enough.
Pair!
I patted my cheeks strongly and thought.
‘Remember…’
How can I change that beggarly future?
‘Intervene in the incident that killed them and save them?’
No. That’s just a result
The result is that the inside festers and festers and eventually explodes.
We had to find the root cause and solve it.
‘The Great Council, you stuffy bastards…’
I had to put an end to this infernal mistrust.
‘But how?’
It’s not that ‘I’ didn’t know that, so I didn’t do it.
‘I’ tried every plan I could think of, including replacing Ragen blood clots with my own play.
Even so, in the end, the Great Council did not trust the true Harasin until the very end, and in the end, that month came.
f*ck.
Assassin. Black magician.
Is it that important?
‘…’
No.
Now that I thought about it, it seemed that the nature of the power wasn’t the only problem.
Maybe the size of the power itself is the problem.
The Great Congress has kept the peace of the continent for a long time.
With that overwhelming power and the perfect balance of power.
The Great Congress is a fearful thing.
I am afraid that the balance will be disrupted by the appearance of a true God Hara, a power that surpasses the great family.
I’m afraid that the continent’s peace will collapse.
That’s why they’re trying to somehow get rid of the true Harasin or put them under complete control.
‘…’
How can I solve this?
‘Are you going to reveal the true identity of that ‘Darkness’ as the right hand man?’
The Great Congress.
I am warning you that if you continue to enmity with the true Harasin, the world could end up like this.
‘…Yes.’
Maybe that’s the obvious solution.
Just. It was definitely a risky plan.
If you are going to take that route.
The Great Council, fearing the true Harasin, might do something else.
In the first place, it is realistically impossible for a true Harasin, a bubble company, to completely control a huge group like the Great Council-
I was just an ordinary person who accidentally gained great power.
On the other hand, the Great Congress.
From my point of view, they are stuffy and stuffy, but from a macro perspective, they were great rulers who have kept peace on the continent for hundreds of years.
Can I kick them out and take their place?
‘Is there anything special about perishing? That’s destruction.’
In the end, force was nothing more than a last resort.
As expected, the best solution.
It was to convince the Great Council to accept the true Harasin.
For that, it was necessary to instill faith in the Great Council.
A true god Hara with the power to upset the balance of the continent.
Absolute faith that will not destroy the peace of the continent.
Absolute belief that the true God Hara will drive out Hara God and the Black Root Church and use the forces he built for peace.
‘How do you instill such trust?’
The moment I entered into such a question.
‘Oh.’
‘Me’ caught my eye.
What if you could just make the most of this situation?
Maybe.
The world stopped according to my will.
In it, I tried to move ‘me’.
‘It’s done…!’
The moment I confirmed that ‘I’ was moving according to my will.
The first thing I did was create a ‘double’ by dividing my power exactly in half.
That’s how I created the ‘right arm’.
Just in time for me to properly hide my right arm, my strength reached its limit.
The stopped world started moving again.
***
“Demon King…”
Golden Mask murmured as he looked down at the ‘darkness’ that was unilaterally slaughtering members of Congress.
“Is that the demon king!?”
The golden mask shook its head at the thunderbolt’s question.
“The Demon King is only a part of him.”
“What-“
“I can finally see it, albeit faintly. It swallowed Harasin and the Black Root Church. It swallowed all the demons and demon lords. That is darkness. The only true darkness.”
Apocalypse.
The golden mask murmured softly.
“We can’t stop that.”
“Then what shall we do…?”
At the question of light, the golden mask shook his head again this time.
“Invisible.”
The lawmakers couldn’t come up with any plan.
– Kkeuh…!
Like the future selves who were unilaterally slaughtered.
“This is the end.”
All the head of households are dead.
Became part of the darkness.
The darkness that swallowed everything.
“No. Not yet.”
It raised its head and looked directly at the family heads.
“There you are.”
“…!”
The family heads were in shock.
“Impossible!”
The golden mask, which understood its own magic better than anyone else, screamed.
“The beings of this world do not recognize us!”
From noble mtl dot com
“But how about that- Damn it. This is not the time. Shalrog! End the ritual right now!”
“…No way.”
“What?”
“My powers are out of my control.”
“…!”
At that time.
The darkness reached out towards them.
It was a moment when despair fell on the faces of the heads of households.
“…!?”
Something passed through the bodies of the homeowners who were in heroic spirit state and rushed into the darkness.
It is-
“Right arm. You must be dead.”
Darkness did not stare at the family heads.
The existence that was approaching from beyond.
As if he was sick of the darkness, he muttered its name.
The right arm.
The true leader of Harasin replied.
“But I’m back. To complete the mission I couldn’t complete.”
Two darkness- no.
Darkness and shadow collided.
“Darkness. You will disappear with me from here today.”
In the eyes of the lawmakers, they could see the body of the right arm disintegrating.
I also saw the disintegration of the body of darkness.
“There is no place for us in this world.”
“…!”
The pupils of the lawmakers shook violently.
The true Harassin.
Their ultimate goal that the Great Council feared.-
Their mission.
The legislators speculated carefully.
The true Harassin.
Maybe they’re not enemies.
They might be the continent’s only hope.
The flood became too much so the moment his characteristics kicked in, the empty space was consumed by emotions again so it had to keep restarting his emotional state until Ceylon denied his characteristics
I was about to ask how he can go crazy with those characteristics but I see now. He became so crazily angry that the characteristics can’t hold it back any longer.
