234 – 67-4. Sometimes the lie wins the truth.
***
Blanc liked movies with superheroes since he was a child.
I went to the cinema holding hands with my parents.
It was the first movie in his life that he watched with both hands full of popcorn and Coke.
A hero who lives a different life than ordinary people.
A hero with extraordinary abilities and growing through trials.
“Wow.. That’s cool.”
No matter how bleak the future may be, you will use your wits and win in the end.
He focused on the movie with his mouth wide open.
I even burst into tears when a sad scene came out, and burst into laughter when a funny scene came out.
The battle against the villain was exciting enough to watch with sweat on both hands.
I chewed popcorn while watching the characters on the other side of the screen live and breathe.
Should I say it’s my childhood longing?
If that’s not the case, should I call it envy?
‘If I could be like that person, what if I could have that kind of power.’
To a young boy, a hero who freely roams the sky looks cooler than anyone else.
A thumping pounding rose in the middle of my chest.
A movie that ends with a happy ending, receiving the envy of many people at the end.
However, it was a fantasy that could not happen in reality.
“As expected, the fun ends quickly.”
Blan sighed as he watched the ending scroll go up in white text on the black screen.
When I left the cinema, the popcorn and coke were empty.
Instead of throwing those empty items in the trash, he took them home and started collecting them.
“If the people in the movie can’t do it, why don’t I?”
The little boy hoped that fun would last forever.
Just as he can’t hold the stars in the night sky in his hands. It’s like a mirage.
Fun.
For that, Blanc clasped his hands and burned his will.
“Let’s become a magician.”
A job that makes unreal things out of reality.
I can’t be a real superhero, so I decided to become a magician most like it.
Through self-education and demonstration of magic, he made a name for himself as the most famous magician in the country.
“But, in the end, I couldn’t make the fantasy a reality.”
Even so, I was blocked by the wall of reality. After all, magic is impossible to trick the eye.
Even if it is a great magic that surprises people, there is a trick behind it.
“This wasn’t the kind of fun I wanted.”
Not getting what he wanted, he became impatient.
How the hell can I feel that fun again?
I wonder if I can enjoy it forever without losing interest.
While he was struggling and living like that, he heard the sound of a god calling him.
[Would you like to save the world from chaos caused by demons? Warrior.]
A word asking to save the world where demons appeared.
It is said that he travels around the world looking for someone worthy of being a hero.
“..A true warrior?”
[Yes, I am Pantos, the God of Emotions.]
The person who sent the beta tester email to Suhyeon Lee.
[At the command of Liset, the god of darkness, Blanc has been called to this world as the true hero.]
Phantos, the god of emotion, mentioned the name of a higher god and promised to make him a true warrior.
[If you fulfill your mission and save the world, I will grant you a wish.]
The condition is that if the mission is fulfilled, the wish can be fulfilled. It was a losing battle for him.
“I will. That world might have the fun I want.”
Blanc accepted the offer. Because there was nothing more that could be achieved in the world where it was originally.
[Good. Blanc, the true warrior. Good luck.]
My favorite trump card has become a holy sword.
He was able to have the ability to bring the fantasy he wanted into reality.
I was even given a dream knife, a proof that I was chosen as the hero of Pantos, the god of emotions.
“I can do what I want here….”
A different world has arrived.
Like the ideal he dreamed of as a child, it was a place overflowing with things that did not exist in reality, such as magic, spiritism, and divine power.
He was able to mix magic with magic and do everything he wanted, and he was happy in that world for a while.
For a while.
Not long after, he faced warriors summoned from another world like himself.
“You guys are also warriors who have to subjugate demons, right? Nice to meet you. I am Magic Hat.”
Blanc was named when he was active as a magician, meaning that he was newly born here.
The rest of the warriors happily greeted Blanc.
“Head, the warrior of battery. He is a reaper from another world.”
“I am Finn, a warrior of arms, and the old man next to me is….”
“Heukun, the almighty warrior.”
The warriors chosen from their respective worlds to subdue the existence of demons.
They met in different times and places, so there were a lot of things that didn’t match each other at first.
“What is the identity of the lightning used by the warrior of the battery?”
“Inspiration. Don’t you even see it? It’s a gun! It’s a revolver too!”
A heavenly demon from a world where the Demonic Cult exists, and where there are Righteous Sects and Sects.
Even after seeing the red revolver, the sacred sword of the head, after being reincarnated after dying, it’s like a dark cloud that doesn’t know how it works.
“Now, look. Did the card disappear from my hand?”
“It’s a trick. There are two cards from the beginning.”
“…You are really boring.”
A god of death who determines life and death in another world. Like a head that knows all tricks using battery power.
“Be careful! Inspirations. I will tell you that I will meet the demon, and I will die!”
“I’m sorry.”
A pin that allows you to contract with a giant and use its power freely.
There were various reasons for summoning heroes, such as returning, possessing, or reincarnating.
“Head. What are you going to wish for?”
“You mean me? It’s surprising that Magic Hat would ask such a question.”
They became closer than anyone else before they knew it while on the journey to catch the demon.
The only people in other places who can understand grievances are people in the same situation.
“Hmm.. I saw a very pitiful person while doing the job I bought.”
A bonfire that burns with a crackling sound.
The Four Great Warriors talked in front of the maze where the demon is said to be asleep.
“Why are you a pitiful person? Is it okay for a Shinigami to have personal feelings like that?”
“It’s not like that, but we’re pretty close. Because I’m a girl who can see me, a god of death since childhood.”
Head opened his mouth to Blanc, who tilted his head.
A girl with gray hair and red eyes who has been diagnosed with cancer since childhood and is living a terminally ill life.
Her
Her parents died shortly after she was born, and she herself was left to vomit her blood.
“Even God is indifferent…. I have never seen such a pitiful person in my entire life of work.”
However, a girl who lived her life without losing her bright smile greeted the god of death gladly.
That was the trigger that moved her head.
“Even if I regress dozens or hundreds of times, I cannot save it.”
Head said with a grim expression. It is impossible to erase or correct the name written on her life and death book.
Her
I tried to save her while going back to her, but failed.
“So, if I could save the world, I would like to ask her to be cured.”
An ideal that could not be achieved in her own world. Thinking that she was the same, and hearing her head’s sincerity, Blanc opened her mouth.
“Is it love? Well, I came here and I got someone to date.”
A country girl who was interested in Blanc’s magic tricks.
Seeing the reactions she always makes fun of, she had a lover who came into Blanc’s heart before she knew it.
Forgetting for a moment what she wanted to have fun, she had tried her blanc to make her fun.
“A wish like that isn’t bad either. Is it fun?”
He sincerely sympathized with the wishes of the other warriors.
“Because I am a possessed chair…. I hope only my sister can live well. I feel sorry for the owner of the original body.”
“I want a world where my daughter can live happily.”
Everyone had different wishes, and everyone wanted to defeat the existence of the Demon God with the same heart.
“..Did you drink that?”
Their wish collapsed in front of the existence of a demon, just like a fleeting daydream.
A black body like a spider made up of the arms and legs of several people.
Every time he moved his huge body, which was connected by mechanical devices and flesh, dust rose and overwhelmed everyone.
“Calm down, everyone. You can win.”
“Yes, who are we! They are the warriors chosen by God!”
As they gathered the power of truth, omniscience, force, and omnipotence to shave their entire bodies, the four warriors hoped to finally gather their strength and defeat the demon.
─Kururaaa!!
The most terrifying thing about demons is their power to affect other worlds.
“Why, why.. My daughter who was originally in this world is here..!!”
“..Intinium? Why are you…?”
The monster, whose death was imminent, opened a dimensional door in an instant and the warriors began to trample on the most precious beings.
“Mae, magic hat..!! Save me!!”
It was the same with Blanc’s lover.
As he watched his lover torn to pieces in front of his eyes, something important inside the magician was cut off.
“…hahahaha.”
Crying colleagues. Seeing the hand gestures of trying to save a corpse covered in blood.
I burst out laughing like a madman.
The scene where a loved one dies was so pleasant.
Isn’t this what I wanted?
“….”
Seeing the ‘fun’ that Blanc wanted so much unfolded in front of his eyes, he filled the empty void.
***
After that, the warriors lost their loved ones and turned into corrupted devils.
“You are inferior, imperfect, and fall short.”
He created a religious organization under the name of the Yongsakyo and spread evil deeds throughout the world.
This is after all the variables predicted by the Demon King of Battery have already been removed.
They took everything from the dear hero who said they would defeat them in the future.
I was a little surprised to learn that she was the imperial princess.
With the authority of the Demon King, I have erased my name, memory, power, and talent, so I will never become a hero.
“And this is the unavoidable ‘truth’.”
All of this was to revive the demons who died at the hands of Emperor Locke, and to save the loved ones that were lost then.
“…Why does it keep happening?”
In fact, only Blanc was different. He wanted to experience the shock and thrill of that time again.
“You can’t beat me. Give up. Black Knight.”
“Yeah, maybe that would be convenient.”
Blanc’s whole body shuddered when he saw the man standing in front of him.
Now, all that remains is to resurrect the Demon God using the enormous amount of life as a stepping stone.
“Still, I can’t give up here.”
A warrior who wears black armor and helmet and wields a jet-black sword.
The situation changed when the black knight appeared and subdued the demon kings of the cult of dragons one after another.
“… There will definitely be a happy ending ahead of this.”
