The abyss, the land that the Earthmother declared that it would no longer support it. It is a real hell that exists in this world, where if you slip even by mistake, you will experience an infinite fall.
The darkness that can’t be seen an inch ahead, the distant hope, the future that is only getting farther away from the sky. At the bottom that may or may not exist, things that have sunk without a funeral for over a thousand years are swarming and staring at this side.
A terrible and strange land, hundreds of years away from peace and stability. The bottomless pit is such a place.
‘Why don’t there be any problems?’
A person who has experienced regression, the only traveler who travels back in time to death.
Shay was alone in peace, engulfed in anxiety.
‘As the Undead said, something must have happened here. Instructor heard to kill someone, the king of beasts howled, cursed and scattered the flesh of the undead, and an accident that could cause the abyss to collapse.’
Her future was a gutter with dozens of sewers. Even if one of them was blocked, sewage that could not be dealt with came out from somewhere and polluted the world.
Shay was alone, and there were too many variables. Even if I had a thousand hands, I wouldn’t be able to stop them all. The world could not stand the broken balance and opened the floodgates towards the end.
The horrific event was said to be a foreshadowing of the terrible tragedy to come. A monster suddenly appeared and devoured people, and a village disappeared entirely without leaving a corpse. The King of the Beasts roared at the end and ran like crazy.
Shay tried to find the source rather than prevent it at the end of the end.
This is the place that I followed that trajectory, the abyss.
In this, I found the first ancestor, the king of dogs, and the immortals who would be the seeds of disaster in the future.
Contrary to expectations, they were peaceful.
‘It’s not like nothing happened. However, compared to what will happen later… Things aren’t that bad. Is it because I came here and the past has completely changed? Or, is something hugely happening right now that can change this situation at once?’
Shay sat on the rooftop of the prison and looked down the yard.
On the solid concrete ground, a dark blonde girl confronts a man in an instructor uniform.
In front of Aji, who kept twitching for something uncomfortable, the instructor smiled with a displeased face.
“👀. Why didn’t I think of this until now?”
“Groo.”
“Kyahahaha! okay! I’ve finally found a way, ah! You are no longer my opponent!”
The way he speaks is no different, but Shay is no longer obsessed with one of those attitudes. Because I’ve been deceived too much for that.
What the instructor, who had been shouting so much, took out of his arms was a thin disc made by beating and flattening steel.
The instructor lifted the disc and swept under his nose.
“Ah, this is the disk. It is a round and wide plate made with air resistance in mind! The flight time is several times that of a ball! Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk With this, I don’t have to worry about my shoulder anymore! If you throw it right, it can fly in 30 seconds!”
“Woo! bruise! bruise!”
“okay okay. write it His temper is also urgent. I tried to brag a little, but I can’t do that either. Come on, ask!”
“bruise!”
He wraps his arms wide and throws the disc. The steel disc spins slowly and flies away. Aji, who had been waiting for a long time, turned to Hwasaek and followed after him.
A disk floating through the wind does not come down easily. It rises gently and descends more slowly than that. Aji caught up with the disc in an instant, and patted from the bottom, waiting for it to fall.

Meanwhile, the instructor sat down in his seat and laughed out loud.
“👑👑. In the meantime, I say that I can recover enough stamina! It’s practically a semi-idle play tool! Kick Kick! I am not afraid of you anymore!”
“bruise!”
At that moment, Aji leapt into the air and grabbed the disc with her mouth. The instructor’s face, who was watching, turned stupid.
“Hey, wait a minute. oh hey Jumping and catching it is a foul. I mean, let’s compete fairly and fairly in two dimensions. And what kind of dog are you running 3 meters as a sergeant? Do I have a different time to rest?”
“bruise!”
“No, ah.”
However, Aji comes back with the disc, and the instructor sighs and stands up.
When you look at it, you feel like you are being nervous. Watching the young man who is happily flirting even though he stares at him, and the instructor who seems to be bothering him, but continues to play, only a weary sigh escapes his mouth.
I want to sharpen my nerves, I want to sharpen the blade of hostility.
I don’t even feel like it.
‘If I had to choose a person with such an influence in this place, there was only one instructor.’
Aji with such a bright smile doesn’t seem likely to give off that kind of atrocity. It doesn’t look like the calm Tirkanzaka suddenly went crazy.
At the same time, that man… It didn’t look like the instructor, whose name he didn’t know yet, was going to do.
‘rather. If nothing happens like this. If someone convinces me that it is.’
If so, she would be able to take a short break after putting down all her burdens.
But the returner has seen the future. I know that something tragic is going on in this abyss.
So she can’t be comfortable. You have to pay attention. Even if everyone else is at their best, only her.
There is no rest for those who have seen a terrible future. Even this isolated peace is bound to feel like a harbinger of disaster.
‘Since I’ve come this far. I need to get something out of this episode… .’
Sitting on the edge of the roof alone, with one knee pulled, he gazed at the disk flying below. A disc that slowly grows and shrinks with a dog hanging on its back seems to symbolize a peaceful daily life. It rises and sinks according to the sequence.
When I was sitting still in an uneasy peace.
“Shay. Could you give me some time?”
A calm voice spoke to her. Recognizing the owner of the voice, Shay got up quickly.
Tirkanjaka, the founder of the cedar coffin surrounded by dark red energy, was seated on top of it, wearing a parasol. When Shay faced her, Tirkanzaka gently sank down onto the roof.
“Tirkanjaka! Uh, long, but? is it? Who was the guy you were carrying around?”
“Finlay? left alone for a while He doesn’t care.”
There was a strange chill in the way he spoke as if indifferent. Shay swallowed his saliva. For the sake of the future, I have to have a good relationship with the Sijo, so why is it strangely chilly every time we meet?
Shay, who had become more complicated, spoke with a cautious attitude.
“What’s going on? You didn’t usually find me. No, this doesn’t mean it’s sad. I was just telling the truth… . I’m just asking because I’m curious!”
Tirkanjaka cut off Shay’s gibberish speech, and answered.
“Didn’t you tell me last time? Unique magic is more powerful than ceremonial magic. He boasted for a long time, saying that the unique magic that realizes one’s own mystery is overwhelming compared to the ceremonial magic that anyone can use.”
“uh. I did.”
“And you said your magic is to recreate the energy of the sky. It is a mystery that uses the energy of that sword as a medium.”
“Uh huh.”
“then.”
Tirkanjaka placed the parasol. The darkness dissipated for a moment, and Tirkanzaka appeared pale under the light.
“Thunderbolt can be used. right?”
“I can. why?”
“Write on me.”
Even Shay, who had gone through everything before giving birth, had no choice but to express his doubts about that.
“What? why?”
“Don’t ask why, can you just do it?”
“It will help you if you know what your intentions are.”
“… That’s right.”
Tirkanzaka, who muttered something to herself, said quietly.
“Do you remember when Toin got up again?”
“ah. at that time.”
When Rash the Undead woke up for the first time. At that time, obviously, the instructor struck the undead’s chest with an electric shock, and the undead got himself up.
“okay. The lightning struck my heart again. If Toin, the immortal, can do it, so can I.”
“Are you going to make your heart beat again by lightning?”
Shay knew what Tirkanzaka was asking for.
Just as electricity was passed through Toin’s chest to make his heart beat, he also wants his own heart to revive.
It must be a desperate wish that has been cherished for a long time in the coffin. She knew it, but Shay had no choice but to express her displeasure.
“It’s hard to say this, but it will be difficult in my own strength. The basis of magic is the manifestation of the image of a being. One magic is one world. It is extremely difficult to invade someone else’s body and change it, and it shouldn’t be done. It is an act of infringing upon the dignity of others.”
“Did not Toin wake up with the magic he used?”
“It’s level 0, bounty-level magic. It’s a very minor magic that can only bring about phenomena that exist in the original world. If the true meaning of magic is to change the world, level 0 magic is the most distant skill from magic. It can only bring about beings that can cause it.”
Shay calmly finished the explanation. Thinking that this would have been an rude rejection.
No matter how mysterious magic may seem, its limits are clear. Shay didn’t want his rejection to be an expression of annoyance.
Unfortunately, vampires were used to this expression. This was almost no different from direct speech.
“I know that. It’s almost impossible for my heart to beat again. I understand your feelings of not wanting to touch something useless.”
The returnee hurriedly protested for fear of being misunderstood.
“Oh no! I’m just afraid you’ll get sick!”
“Pain is not a problem. I’ve been through all kinds of pain in my 1200 years of life… . Of course, that, too, would not have been a real pain.”
Tirkanzaka, who smiled self-sufficiently, approached Shay. As if he would not resist, he stretched his arms out and hanged them helplessly.
“Please, Shay. Even if your magic is only pain, if it is real pain, I will accept it sweetly. Neither do I believe this will revive my heart. I just want to feel it.”
Tirkanzaka was stubborn, and Shay was perplexed.
I couldn’t understand why they were trying to be struck by lightning, but if you ask me so earnestly, I can’t refuse. After all, it’s not Tirkanzaka who is going to suffer.
It’s not even dangerous to Tirkanjaka. Shay’s magic is powerful, but it’s still at the level of a magic swordsman. If it had become dangerous with such power, Tirkanjaka would not have survived until now.
“Ugh. It doesn’t seem like a big problem, but… .”
After thinking for a long time, Shay took out the cherry blossoms that were floating above her head.
Cheoneng and Shai wield it like a sword, but its essence is an extremely compressed space. This is why it has neither weight nor thickness. The Cheon-Aeng, which slashes through space, is sharper than any other sword in the world.
Shai explained while waving the cherry blossoms in the air, infusing them with magical power.
“My magic is through the cherries. Because the medium is so powerful, it has the disadvantage of having a clear sky attribute, but the sky itself contains numerous phenomena, so if you prepare, you can reproduce all of them.”
The wind blew from the chimney. As the compressed space was released, it gradually began to expand its presence. A space that suddenly swells. When the cool air touches the skin while raising my body, the water vapor that trembles in the cold touches the warmth of the skin, and it clings to it.
Of course, vampire skin is an exception. Because their bodies are as cold as the blown air.
“Permanent thunderstorm due to wind and rain. The wind makes the clouds, the clouds make rain, and the dew rises from the ground and forms on the drops of grass. Ordinary daily life soaked in small invisible water droplets.”
And after that.
The air oscillates ominously.
The wind trembles as if engulfed in fear. Recognizing the omens of the flames, the space was scattered all over the place.
Shay’s hair fluttered in it. Not because of the wind, but an exhilarating and regular movement like a heartbeat.
Shai released the magic while holding the cherry blossoms tightly. The magical energy that spreads from his body gushes out and flies into the air and gathers in one place.
Its shape is exactly like a cloud. A piece of cloud floated like a still life in the abyss where there was no sky.
“Frost, snow, and thunder. They’re more than twisted. If the water drop neglects its role as a messenger, the conflict between the earth and the sky will reach an extreme, and the twist will drop. What I’m going to call is the Noho. A majestic rebuke from heaven upon the world.”
Thunderbolts flashed from the dark clouds that flowed from the cheongeng. A cloud with enormous power slowly descended over Tirkanzaka’s head. While the clothes and hair felt an ominous omen and she got up, Tirkanzaka just looked ahead without saying a word.
“Tell me if you are sick. I will stop.”
Tirkanzaka did not answer. Shay took a deep breath and engraved magic into the world.
“Thunderbird, Thunderbird.”
Immediately after, a flash of lightning flashed.
