40 – Illusion
After meeting her goal early in the morning, Kim washed her hands in her bathroom.
She looked in the mirror as her hands, wet with white liquid, were cleansed.
In the mirror stood a sinister-looking man.
‘It was really ugly.’
She was still amazed every time she looked in the mirror.
‘Me on Earth… I might be more handsome than I thought.’
Cold water was poured on her face to wake her up from her overwork.
In the early days when Kim used the hypnosis app, her desire was great.
Because she was a virgin to Kim.
However, as time passed, his burning desire slowly faded.
‘I feel like I’m getting eaten…’
At the beginning of the hypnosis application, it felt like dealing with a doll.
Then, as the level of the hypnosis application gradually increased, the doll-like women began to take the lead.
The problem is that Kim is weak compared to the women she is dealing with who are gradually becoming stronger.
It was very rough to see if the dark desires of the women who were victimized by the app were maximized.
Kim wondered if it was true that the women she sometimes dated were on hypnosis apps.
Of course, it is true that Kim used the app when she flirted with her, but she felt strange because she kept being trampled on.
Kim became more and more scared when she saw women who couldn’t get over even after 5 hours.
She wasn’t even looking for her today.
She was sitting in the plaza when the mercenary woman she had hypnotized the other day approached and dragged Kim into her inn.
After Kim erased the memory of the female mercenary she had been with until dawn, she quickly left.
She has to find a character from the movie version, but she can’t waste any more time being caught.
Coming out of the inn, Kim deliberately left the wide road and walked through the narrow streets crowded with people.
Kim suddenly thought of Fall of the Hero, a parody made by a female reader.
If there was a character in the theatrical version, there was no guarantee that the character in the parody film, which had overwhelming popularity and was translated and exported to a dark place abroad, would not exist.
‘If a movie version character comes out, will the demon king in the parody also appear?’
‘The parody was overwhelmingly number one because of the women.’
‘No. Let’s not think such terrible thoughts.’
The parody of Fall of the Warrior was about having the demon king train a defeated warrior.
‘It was terrible…’
Kim then felt horror for the first time when she watched the parody.
Because the demon king was male.
She arrived in the slums before she knew it.
Kim involuntarily swallowed.
The thought that it would be nice to have a character from the theatrical version and the thought that it would be nice not to have one because if there was a character from the theatrical version, there could be a parody demon king, crossed paths.
Kim’s gaze stopped when she looked around the slums when she saw an old man sitting in front of an intaglio on the corner of the street.
At that moment, I had an ominous feeling.
‘Theatrical version and parody are fundamentally different…’
When I met eyes with the old man in the movie version, I was strangely convinced that the demon king in the parody would exist.
“f*ck…”
It wasn’t just Robert hyung’s problem. The crazy demon king in the parody also coveted the ugly porter.
The old man who gives the movie a chance is a character in another cartoon by the author.
He is a person who wanders around the dimension and likes to bet.
In the movie version, the porter lost his hypnosis app because he couldn’t beat the old man.
The theatrical version was about a porter who had been deprived of a hypnosis app and defeated the demon king in a world that was perishing after strengthening his powers with bloody efforts.
‘The devil in the parody is stronger than the devil in the movie. Even Robert-hyung gets a recoil when he uses the power of the holy sword…’
Kim closed her eyes tightly.
‘If the hypnosis app is stolen, there’s no hope. I have to win unconditionally.’
In the noisy street, only the old man’s lines could be heard clearly.
“Do you want to make a bet with me, young man?”
She felt threatened by the old man, and the smart phone in her pocket vibrated.
“Yes. It’s good to bet.”
Kim sat across from the old man.
“If you beat me at Gomok, I’ll give you anything you want. Do you agree to give me that strange power if I win instead?”
“I agree.”
“Don’t worry, I can’t do Omok either.”
“Yes.”
“I’ll explain the concave rule. The first person to make 5 of these stones horizontally, vertically or diagonally wins. Do you understand?”
From noble mtl dot com.
“I understand.”
“I guess I’m the elder, so I’ll give up the first attack.”
The old man stroked his white beard and said.
Kim was lost in her thoughts.
Omok was confident. Because it was a hobby that she replaced during recess in high school.
It was Kim who memorized her winning method to beat her friends.
‘But…’
I was worried because the opponent was a high-ranking freshman.
With her trembling hands, Kim placed the black go stone on her board.
A few days later.
Five black stones were placed side by side.
“No… What is this?”
The old man’s mouth opened wide.
“This isn’t the first time I’ve done it!”
“It’s the first time.”
“If you follow this notation, it seems like you will win unconditionally. You said you remembered the first time doing it?”
“Yes.”
“Huh.. I’ve confirmed that there is no game similar to Omok in this world, but I lost.”
“Since I won, can I make a wish?”
“Just one game… Wouldn’t it be nice to have one more game?”
“No.”
“If I lose to you again, I will grant you one more wish.”
“It’s okay.”
Once luck worked, the second time it won’t work. Because the opponent is a person who plays baduk whenever he is bored. From the beginning, Kim didn’t believe Shinseon’s words that she couldn’t read.
The first concave was careless and lost freshness, but it won’t be from the second edition.
————————————————————————- ———————-
Even after Kim left, the old man sat there with a half-fazed face.
He couldn’t believe that he had lost to the first to put Omok.
“Huh… I came to retrieve the evil power…”
The beard of the immortal trembled in disgrace.
“Besides, how do beings in this world know and care for what I’ve only refined for tens of thousands of years…”
Taeeuldan is one of the most precious spiritual dans that change constitution and spirit.
“This must also be fate.”
The troubled old man disappeared and dust covered him.
————————————————————————- ———————-
“You really did it.”
Kim barely restrained herself from laughing.
“This is Taeeuldan…”
It’s been a while since I put the Taeeuldan in my inventory, but the mysterious energy still seems to linger around me.
While Kim was thinking about what to ask of a high-ranking freshman in the Seonhyup world, she thought of Taeeuldan.
‘There were other elixirs, simbeop, swordsmanship, divine beasts, and divine arts…’
It seemed that what Robert needed most was Taeeuldan.
Kim said, she won a big bet, but she wasn’t happy about it.
“Ha… Even if I keep raising Robert hyung’s stats… Will he be able to catch the demon king in the parody?”
Kim was at a loss when he thought of the demon king’s overwhelming strength and muscles in the parody.

‘Robert said he was going on an expedition soon.’
“The coachman!”
The carriage stopped at the call of Iriel.
Since it would be difficult to talk to Robert if the other male leads were taken, he secretly came out using an expensive artifact.
‘Still, I’ll find out my location soon and come back…’
She has been hiding her traces here and there for a week, so she should have about 5 hours to spare.
Irrel’s wagon left the city and started running toward Robert’s mansion.
About an hour later, the wagon that Irell rode entered the main road along the river Hetus.
Looking out the window, Ir El saw a familiar landscape and realized that he was near Robert’s mansion.
The sunset over the river glittered.
The carriage passed the gate and stopped at the plaza overlooking Robert’s mansion.
“My lady, we have arrived.
The carriage door opened, and Irrel’s long legs touched the ground.
Irrel gave the coachman a nib of gold as a tip.
“Thank you very much, lady!”
After Ir El sent the carriage back, he moved his feet toward Robert’s mansion.
“It’s nice to come all the way here secretly.”
Antares sat in front of Robert’s mansion and smoked a cigarette.
“I broke all the locators and sneaked out with the artifact. How did you know?”
“That Stealth Artifact won’t work on anyone watching you before you use it.”
“I came to see Robert alone today. Go back.”
“Okay. Irelle prepared hard and secretly came here, but I won’t disturb you.”
“Go quickly.”
“… Irelle, don’t keep making me jealous. Then I’ll go.”
Antares soon rubbed a half-smoked cigarette on the ground and disappeared.
Standing on the roof of the mansion, Antares looked at Irelle as he entered Robert’s mansion without a word.
“I secretly went to see it alone…”
“I thought I had sorted it out with Robert. I guess not.”
Antares was chewing on his nails, and before he knew it, his fingers were covered with blood-soaked teeth marks.
