253. return (3)
“Hyeonsu. What are you talking about, that.”
The male researcher’s face hardened seriously. The female researcher dropped the glasses she was polishing and said, ‘Eh?’ looked back at me with a
“Hyeonsu? Stay calm. It’s a temporary feeling caused by the side effects of overindulgence.”
The female researcher gave me a tissue and comforted me.
However, it didn’t comfort me in the slightest.
Even if this feeling was a side effect of overindulgence, it didn’t matter right away.
I want to be true to my heart now. As my heart tells me, I want to choose as my heart goes.
It’s a life that I’ve been watching to keep the story of the game. At least for now, I’m just doing what I want to do.
I didn’t even want to think of it as a side effect.
Even if it was an over-immersion phenomenon caused by possession, it didn’t mean that the ties I had built up in that world would disappear.
It’s not a fake relationship.
It wasn’t even a dream. I didn’t want to be denied the intimacy and affection I had built.
Siana, Cain, Bell, Odelia, family and friends are still precious people.
I can’t forget it even if I try to forget it, it’s already like my blood and flesh.
“no.”
I shook my head slowly. I didn’t wipe my tears. It felt like if I wiped the falling tears, even they would be erased.
“It is not a side effect.”
“… … .”
“This is too severe. What should I do?”
The female researcher looked at the male researcher and asked. It seemed that I had judged that my condition was not normal.
“Should I administer a tranquilizer for now?”
“not.”
The male researcher shook his head. It certainly seemed to make sense.
“Even though Hyeonsu lost his memory, he’s not the type to talk nonsense.”
The male researcher patted the female researcher on the shoulder and restrained her.
“If this was a real side effect, you wouldn’t have been able to accurately distinguish between reality and that world, right?”
He grinned and this time put his hand on my shoulder.
“Ah, that… … .”
The female researcher also reluctantly nodded, as if something was bothering her.
“Certainly, when Hyun-soo was living as Aren, he didn’t think about the real world at all. I erased my memory for immersion, but as time passed, I didn’t think about reality at all. There was not even the slightest effort to go back.”
A female researcher raised her glasses with her fingertips and turned over the chart.
“So we thought. If I had been so immersed in it, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the real world and the fake world when I returned to reality.”
“Perhaps, I would have believed that the real world was that world. Couldn’t it have been as peaceful as it is now?”
“yes. Not really. The distinction is clear.”
There seems to be some hope.
It was fortunate that the being who really sent me there wasn’t a ‘god’ or an alien.
It seems that all the luck in my life has been spent meeting people I can talk to.
Maybe this is the reason for luck 1? There was no coincidence in everything.
“But, Hyeonsu. Unfortunately, there is no way.”
… … Then it is. The male researcher’s expectations that had been swollen in the cold water were extinguished like bubbles.
“The return is already over.”
“yes. The ending has come, and the prophecy has finally been completed with Aren Blackfire dying, so I can’t help it.”
Hyeonsu’s life too.
Aren’s life.
in the end it’s me
No bad luck, anyway. I can’t help it.
“no.”
I asserted
This is what was expected from the beginning. By any chance, the number of trump cards in case the moment to have a conversation like this comes.
A hidden secret.
“There is a way.”
“… … ?”
“What is that?”
There was no way to kill the demon king from the start, save all my colleagues, and even save myself.
The laws of the world went like that. Unless I am an omnipotent god, I couldn’t even go against that.
No matter how much I rolled my head, no particular solution came to mind.
It was also the only way.
“I will give my soul.”
To put it simply, I have three souls in total.
Hyunsoo Kim.
Aren Blackfire’s.
It belongs to the Demonic Blackfire.
The soul-staking negotiations have begun.

Kim Hyun-soo had no family.
He lost his parents when he was young, and he has lived a solid life by himself. that was me
It seems that he had a good brain, and he seems to have lived well after getting a job as a chief developer at a game developer. Well, that didn’t matter anymore.
Game development has been completed, and only stability testing remains.
There is still a reincarnation test left, but this should be completed through other applicants based on my experience.
In other words, there were no regrets or responsibilities in this world. I was literally single.
so it was cool
I will offer Kim Hyun-soo’s soul.
“Wow. Are you really smart?”
“It’s a known fact that Hyeonsu is a genius, right? What a surprise.”
Unexpectedly, there was no sign of surprise.
Rather, they were just amazed at the ingenious negotiating card I presented.
“Is it possible?”
“Of course it is possible. It’s an idea from someone’s head.”
“Theoretically, it is possible. ‘Possible’ is.”
Everyone cheers me up more than I thought. Hyeonsu as a game developer seemed to be a more competent person than he thought.
“But because we don’t want to lose you. That’s the problem.”
“yes… … . In fact, ＜Warriors Kingdom＞ came this far thanks to Hyeon-soo.”
“Couldn’t you think about it a little longer, Hyeonsu?”
So they catch me
Let’s complete this game together.
“We have to wait and see if the game is completed and loved by the people of the world.”
“It’s a game you made, isn’t it?”
… … Even if you say so, you can’t help it. These are all words that don’t make sense to me.
Even if I gave my life to this game. Even if he achieved great achievements, it was not enough to change everything he had experienced in this world.
rather.
“Wouldn’t there be nothing happier than living in a game I made?”
I think like this.
To live in the world I made. To live happily in a world dedicated to life.
Could this be true happiness?
“that… … .”
“Looks like I am crippled even if I live in reality. In that case, it might be better to live in a different world with both legs intact. Well, it’s not that important.”
In any case, it was important that there were few reasons to continue living in reality.
“I just want to go back. Please.”
The most important thing is also my heart.
“Even if the real me has all my limbs and is a millionaire.”
I didn’t want to change.
“I will go back.”
I didn’t break my stubbornness. because this is what i want to do
“… … Mr. Hyeonsu.”
“i get it.”
Would my heart have been conveyed enough?
“I know how hard it was for you here. You might be happier living there.”
“… … It is. Hyun-soo approves.”
Both nodded their heads with difficulty. They are grateful people.
Actually, that would have been nonsense. How absurd would it be if a person who had been living a normal life suddenly lost his memory and said that he would return to the game world?
Nara would also have been forcibly tied up and sent to a mental hospital. In that sense, those two who understood me are like saints.
“thank you. Thank you for your understanding.”
I bent my back with difficulty. This was all I could do to thank you.
“Min-ah. Reactivate the soul interface.”
“yes… … .”
wheein-
It started to make a loud noise. The pump in the glass tube sped up again, and the ECG sound cycle sped up.
“Remember. When I go back, I have to defeat the demon king unconditionally. You in reality are the Demon King. The character 6666 is the demon king who has Hyeonsu’s soul overlaid on him. The prophecy is completed and the world is maintained only when the demon king is killed and the soul is sacrificed. Do you understand?”
“yes. understand.”
“If you defeat the demon lord, this body now. Hyeonsu in reality is to fall asleep forever.”
The male researcher grabbed my thin arm and spoke. I made up my mind and nodded my head.
“I will take care of the repairs. Don’t worry too much.”
“… … thank you I don’t remember, but you’re a good person.”
“What. Because of game development, I’m going to fight dirty with you and send you off right now. It’s cool inside.”
Judging from the fact that he was joking, it seems that Hyeon-soo was close to this man. The same goes for taking responsibility and trying to fix it.
someone comes to mind
“Are you Viktor’s motif?”
“Does it look like that? Hyeonsu is also Hyeonsu. Our researchers took a lot of reference when designing the characters. Hyeonsu you.”
Then it is.
For some reason, I feel that way.
“Then Minah… … ?”
“Min-ah? He’s a Newbold. He’s crazy about research. Blacksmith Jukdori, no, is it Juksun in the Possession test? Anyway, just like Veronica.”
I laughed at those words and buried myself in the connecting device.
“The preparations are complete. Just inject the drug and it will go back.”
Mina came back and said.
“Is there anything you want to say one last time? Ability adjustments are possible. If we go back now, observation or intervention is impossible. It’s really a self-constructed world itself. It’s not even virtual reality, to be honest.”
That comment reminded me of something I was curious about.
“ah. Why am I only lucky 1?”
I don’t regret anything else, but I was a little curious about this one. It was too low a number to be called a character trait.
“Oh, is that it?”
Researcher Mina laughed as if she was having fun.
“The game is too easy for me. Hyeon-soo told me to use Luck 1.”
“Due to the low number of Luck 1, the frequency of occurrence of the variable has become too high. Because of that, the story goes in a strange direction… … . Well, we also got some good data. You must have suffered.”
I see
My bad luck was all my fault.
It’s because of my stubbornness that I went through hardships all this time.
It was self-employed. There was nothing to blame.
‘anyway.’
I’ve been rolling to death until now, but wouldn’t it be okay to live a little smoother life from now on?
You deserve that level of compensation, you know?
is not it?
After hard rationalization.
“Please raise the Luck stat to the maximum.”
“Okay~”
“You must have suffered a lot.”
I decided to become the strongest with luck. Everyone burst into laughter at my words.
“great. It was an honor to be with you. May you be happy there.”
“Me too. I put it down there and rest for a while. Work here, work there. You know? Be happy.”
“yes. thank you all. I will definitely rest there.”
The glass cover closes. In the blurred vision, they were crying.
I don’t know why, but I also shed tears. Perhaps these tears belong to Hyeonsu.
Seeing Hyeonsu sad, it was clear that they were good people too.
“thank you.”
Hyeon-soo fell into a sleep from which he would never wake up.
* * *
“Um… … .”
“Saintess!”
“Are you awake!?”
Bell barely opened her eyes.
As soon as I open my eyes, I cover my head with a headache that seems to break my head.
“ah.”
But soon he realizes why he fainted and what the situation is still,
“Senior Aren!!!”
I let go and shouted.
heart beats fast the late landscape.
A swirling torrent of magical power. Aren Blackfire floating in the center.
It was clearly visible in Belle Irusi’s eyes.
“I’m dead… … ? really?”
Bell vehemently denied it, but nothing changed. Aren didn’t even flinch. I can’t even feel my breath
Even when I asked the god of light, the answer was silent.
With the time difference, the backs of Sianna and Cain caught my eye.
“What are you doing?”
Bell approached the two of them with her trembling hands on her chest.
The pupil is dilated.
Even Siana and Cain were dying.
To be precise, these two used all their mana, and now they were consuming even their life force.
“What is this… … !”
The voice of God transmitted at that time.
It was a revelation to save them both.
There is no hesitation. Bell immediately finished assessing the situation and called Ackerman and Hoya.
“Help you two too!”
The magic that Shiana is now deploying is a miracle that turns back time.
It was the ultimate magic that was cast even while consuming all mana and life.
If that’s the case, it’s natural to add a little bit of strength.
Ackerman and Hoya also placed their hands on Cyana’s shoulders and willingly began to infuse all their mana and life force into her.
And the divine light that surrounds them.
“Oh God-“
According to the revelation, the saintess performs miracles. The power and mercy of the god of light reached the Devil’s Cave.
Saint Belle’s whole body is full of burning divinity, making it red, red. It was dyed white instead of red.
“Deus Benedica!”
At her prayer, the light defeated the darkness, and infinite vitality welled up. They soon became Siana’s strength.
Shiana’s magic, which had been losing power, was finally completed and began to rewind time.
crumbling landscape. time to reflux. Everything was done within Cyana’s magic circle.
and… … At its center,
“… … !”
“Oh, Ren?”
“senior?”
Aren was standing.
