The Academy’s Time Limit in a Novel Written by a Friend chapter 137

137 – Episode 137 A stupid regressor from the ruined novel world.

That day, the time flower witch told me about the authority.

Authority is a miracle performed by God.

In the end, it’s just the result of people’s wishes.

Each one has no value, but the combined wishes make greater things possible than anything else.

But the most important thing for a miracle is something else.

However, I couldn’t hear what was the most important thing.

*

My mother’s funeral was held.

I did not participate.

I devoted myself to training with a broken body.

I heard that I could die, but for some reason I didn’t feel like I was going to die.

No, more precisely, it felt like playing a game.

Yes, everyone around me is NPC.

Since there are no human puppies, only puppet puppies with fixed reactions, it really felt like a game.

No, am I a character too? It’s a cliché to say that a birthday is the anniversary of your mother’s death.

One day, Cheonyuhak came to visit me.

Did you say you would come to my senses?

I couldn’t respond with my broken body, so I welcomed him.

He looked at me as if he couldn’t recognize where he was, but he wasn’t part-time.

Sometimes the servants would gossip about me.

From nob le mt l dot com

Did they say that they didn’t seem to see themselves as people?

So I laughed in front and affirmed it.

That’s right. I don’t see you as a person No, it’s not just you, your handsome older sister, and your father aren’t all human babies!

When I said that, instead of being angry, they looked at me with a pitying look.

It’s ridiculous.

Puppets dare to imitate humans.

Until I go to the academy, no, maybe until the day I return to the original world, this life where I can’t even breathe will continue.

I don’t like it.

I really hated it.

I felt like I was floating alone in the world.

*

The dirty time passed, and the day when I was finally able to enter the academy.

At first, I didn’t want to participate in the entrance ceremony.

If I go, I will die, so why should I participate?

So I just pretended to be heading to the academy entrance ceremony, and then I tried to go back with the thought of killing time.

“Hey.”

Yes.

It means you tried to go back but couldn’t.

It was the first woman I saw.

But for some reason, I didn’t think of it as a doll.

“I told you to stay safe until I meet you, but I didn’t. Why are you so messed up?”

Ah.

His smiling face resembled that guy’s.

“Uh, you didn’t recognize me this time and just hit the drip…?”

I ran and took her into my arms.

I needed a place to hang.

“Uh…!? What!?”

There was. Where i hang what i have to keep not a doll. Something that had meaning remained with me.

“Hey…? Why are you like this? Are you crying…?”

I felt like I could endure it until I got back somehow.

That wasn’t the case.

*

After participating in the entrance ceremony, I didn’t do anything special.

I just recovered my body with the potion he gave me, and waited slowly while preparing to defend myself.

If you want to save those who can be saved, I didn’t feel particularly guilty.

It’s not like real people die.

And then the horrors unfolded.

Everyone near the wall except for me and him died, and the scene was engulfed in fear by the appearance of the monster.

Progress according to the original story. The only thing that has changed is that he and I survived.

I should have.

Lilac struggles. Cheon Yu-hak unexpectedly started to help him.

I did not do anything special even after seeing the change from the original work.

Just.

Since Lilac made an idiot mistake, I inadvertently let the monster attack in his place just once.

That was all.

But that was the problem.

Since then, lilacs have been fiercely attached to me. Well, yes There’s nothing wrong with being close to the main character. After all, he has to become stronger to see the end.

What the fuck, I was really surprised when my roommate was Kang Hani, but she tried hard not to get involved with him.

When Cheon Yu-Hak approached, I pushed her away roughly, and when Lee Yu-Na challenged me not to hang out with Lilac, I just hit and fought.

“…Did I fit in? That idiot is coming on his own.”

“Speak beautifully. If you don’t want to fall behind I hate you because you don’t see people as people. I’m warning you, don’t mess around with Illak from now on.”

…Man? Are you

If I don’t do anything, I’m a doll that doesn’t change and just flows away, but I’m a human?

I couldn’t stand it because I laughed.

Lee Yu-na, who took my ridicule as a provocation, blew the first bread and fought until each other’s nosebleeds.

Sometimes there was such stimulation, but in the end, life at the academy was filthy boring.

A character modeled after Miss Cathy approached me, as if she seemed to feel sorry for not having friends.

I was going to die anyway, but I had no intention of paying attention.

Sometimes when Kang Hani and Lee Yu Na would fight, I would leave because it was annoying.

Lilac held me back and the two of them yelled at me as if I didn’t like the look.

Kim Ga-eul died.

…I felt bad about something, but I forgot about it, thinking it was just the character’s death.

So the gloomy academy life passed, not much different from the original work except that I was alive.

Sometimes the dolls would talk to me on their own or pretend to be friendly, but I ignored them.

Isn’t it kind of funny to see you playing with dolls when you’re old?

“I believe in Sohyeon!”

Occasionally, when we did group activities together, Lilac would often tell me that she believed in me.

What do you believe in? I’m probably the one you should be most wary of in the world.

Based on your definition, am I the villain that can never be forgiven?

…Well, those who die like that die, and those who live live through the main stories one by one.

Finally, the last story of the first year of the academy has begun.

Originally, the incident was supposed to happen a little later, but the guy even used his authority to bring it forward.

“It’s now or never.”

At the time, I wondered what he was talking about, but since it was his job, I just skipped it.

Thinking about it now, he might have meant that from the start.

Because it is he who curses this world more than anyone else.

Maybe he wanted to deny it.

I was able to notice it, but I turned my gaze on the excuse that I couldn’t afford it.

A huge event occurred in which one of the seven Demon Kings, the King of Sloth, crossed the dimension and attacked the academy.

A clichéd story about how only Lilac, who has the gift of a holy sword, can pierce the devil’s heart without harm.

While the other professors and cadets tied him up and dealt with the other demons, a plan was set up for Lilac to defeat the demon king.

I know well.

Even in the original work, you stand out in earnest here.

Get rid of it.

I thought there was nothing different.

So it was rough.

Originally, let those who should live live, and let those who should die die. I didn’t care if I was vague about which one.

I thought it was stupid to focus on an episode that would have passed without me.

I never thought he would do that.

I didn’t know that I would continue to struggle to save all those I had abandoned.

The talent of the chairman explodes.

From nob le mt l dot com

Due to the fraudulent ability to manipulate the flow of the atmosphere, the demon king stopped moving.

For some reason, Cassie and other characters who have not yet died have opened the way to the heart of the Demon King.

Exhausted, Lilac ran while panting.

I ran while severing all of the demon king’s tentacles with the shining holy sword.

What do you believe in? In the end you can do it alone.

He fought well, and finally the holy sword pierced the demon king.

Immediately after that, Lilac was also breathing heavily, as if she had run out of energy.

Then, a tentacle filled with demonic power pierced Lilac’s stomach.

…Huh? Was there an event like this? It’s not?

I suddenly became anxious and ran.

The guy was laughing stupidly. It’s unpleasant because it resembles laughter, which I hate.

“Heh, heh. Look at it You said we could do it.”

What are you talking about? Man wake up can’t you die you’re the main character

Usually, the holy sword’s light would have purified the demonic spirit, but perhaps because of overdoing it, the weakened light could not even purify the demonic energy, let alone drive it out. Because he saved someone instead of me.

“Thank you for hanging out with me even though you hated it until now…”

How did this happen?

“Ah, sorry…I…I’m dizzy…Yuna…Please…”

He never opened his eyes at the end of such a will.

The protagonist of this lilac world has died. Because of me and the guy.

…Huh? So what’s going on? The ending? End of the world? Going back?

Wasn’t I going with the original flow of whatever I was doing? It was a set story and they were all dolls, right? So what have I done so far?

I feel nauseated.

The fact that I vaguely knew is approaching as a terrible reality.

I was panicking when he approached me.

The guy had a surprisingly calm face.

Isn’t it? He seemed to sympathize with me and seemed anxious, but at least he didn’t seem angry.

“What are you so worried about? Is there a rule that the main character must be a lilac?”

The guy’s hands shine.

That light is power.

It was a blessing to subdue and manipulate someone so they don’t have to think about anything.

By receiving that light, my head gradually went blank, but at least the pain seemed to be gradually disappearing.

Still, I had my doubts.

…Then who’s going to take his place?

“What is there to worry about? In the beginning, you said that you just have to end it in a straight way in some way. Then let’s do it like this.”

What are you going to do?

“A bad ending is also an ending. It’s foolish to join the hero’s side when you don’t even have a lilac.”

Are you okay with that? Would the world be completely different?

“How many times have I said this world is more important than you? What if a character dies? You’re not even a real person.”

So…? Yes? It’s all fake, meaningless, right? There’s no need to worry, right?

As the last remaining questions disappeared, my head grew more and more blank.

Yes, going back is important. You don’t have to worry about anything else.

By the time he put his hand away, there were no questions left in my head.

I don’t think I really hesitated after that.

It was easy. I was able to do as the guy told me to do and betray someone without much resistance.

At first, I didn’t have much regret.

What’s so hard about killing a doll when it’s a doll anyway? Who’s going to say what’s wrong with destroying a doll with the owner’s permission?

I grew stronger by betraying the villains who had a goal in front of me pretending to cooperate.

A character that was already destined to be destroyed was further damaged and used as a tool.

Deceived with lies, subdued with violence, killed those who interfered, and moved forward.

In the end, thinking that it was all fake, I went through the brainwashing and suppressed the disgust and rejection that came to my mind from time to time.

It was after the confrontation with her that her stupid illusion and her hypnosis began to shake in earnest.

A woman who should have died long ago was still alive and stood in my way.

Cache.

Perhaps because it was made with the motif of her benefactor, her guilt throbbed whenever she stood in her way.

I don’t want to kill her [Her her. I wanted to hold her hand and beg her to forgive me.]

So she decided to kill her.

She held out her hand to me until the very last moment before her short sword pierced her.

‘Even though you are a person you can never forgive, if you have the heart to atone, I will help you. As a teacher who failed to correct you.’

Even though she was stabbed by me, she smiled, as if she didn’t resent me, but as if she just felt sorry for me.

Her Starting with her, people who are not like her dolls began to appear in the subject of her dolls.

Lee Yu-na, whom I used on the condition that I would tell her the truth about Lilac’s death, fought with her several times to kill each other after realizing that she had been tricked by me.

‘I came all the way here to kill you, but am I still not enough?’

[I would rather die to you than to kill you too.]

I wasn’t a character like this, but can a doll change its own destiny?

You shouldn’t have any doubts. The moment I doubt it, I will stop again. I sacrificed countless things to advance, but there was no way I could stop.

‘I like that they don’t treat me like a human.’

[I am the one who made you that way. It is also me who cannot be forgiven. So please don’t look at me like that.]

The Sword Demon, who lost his humanity and went crazy with the sword, went to the battlefield at my words.

It was used as a throwaway horse to defeat Arcadia, which was last allied with the government.

In the end, the image of her dying with a smile, saying that she had cut off her helmet, was still vivid in my mind.

I know I shouldn’t be like this.

I got nauseous.

Are you feeling guilty now? Are you qualified for that?

The subject of treating countless people as puppets, using them, and betraying them to come this far?

I want to collapse, but I can’t.

A feat in the world. The most brutal villain. Slayer of heroes. A demon who handled the same villain for his own gain. That was me.

There is no back.

The selfish delusion that I had to go forward because I couldn’t stop came like an obsession.

‘I will fulfill my responsibility for not stopping you that day.’

After destroying the government and Arcadia, I poured everything I had into dealing with the gods of the other world, and the hero who became a monster stood in my way with a spear.

It was dangerous, but in the end I was able to defeat it by mobilizing even the power of the Creator.

Across the sea made of blood, I went forward only for the purpose of returning.

The hero who will stop me, the protagonist of this world, is already dead.

I became the demon that destroyed this world.

And just like that, by the time there is no one left to resist me.

Nevertheless, the remaining people are heroes and try to protect the weaker than themselves, and in the end, I had doubts about myself after ignoring the truth.

-…Is this the end of this world you thought it would be?

The owner of Mangye, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth.

Your mind is worn out.

I didn’t want to do anything anymore.

The brainwashing he gave me has long since worn off.

But you can’t just be silent.

There was something I had to ask a being who was at least more like a god than I was.

-…What a stupid question. Are the people living here dolls? Is it just a character? I’m not kind enough to answer someone who already knows the answer.

-I said it’s a world for you. Did I mention it’s your world? Did all the people living in the world you created look like toys?

Ah, that’s right. I knew. I just came all the way here out of remorse.

I wanted to run away because I didn’t want to admit my mistake. It was stupid.

I swore not to do that, but I needed a place to escape, so I clung to him again.

The more you do, the more you lose yourself.

-Anyway, it looked like shit, but it’s okay. This too would be the end of a world. If this is the end you’re talking about, I’ll admit my expectations were too high. So please send it back

As the end draws near, belatedly, the hatred behind the wall of brainwashing comes rushing in.

It’s like hair.

Why did you deny such an obvious thing to the end and even ask questions?

Are you crazy? No, that’s not acceptable.

Maybe it was because I came all the way here, because I needed a place to escape, so I wanted them all to say that they were dolls.

This isn’t it.

So it can’t end like this. It should not end.

“It’s not over yet.”

“What? What are you talking about?”

It’s not coming. I was convinced that if I went back like this, nothing would happen.

I will still be a person who only misses, and will try to depend on the guy who is starting to crumble.

In the end, one day, the fact that I couldn’t atone for my mistakes will swallow me up and destroy me.

It can’t be.

It was a life where I always regretted that it was too late.

Actually, if you think it’s already too late, you should stop there instead of moving forward.

He complained as if he was drunk with misfortune, only making the situation worse.

Unlike the flustered guy, the owner of Mangye began to take an interest in what he was talking about.

“Hey, what are you talking about all of a sudden? I can go back now!”

He used to give me potions or items whenever I was having a hard time with the Creator’s authority.

Thanks to that, I became the only human in this world with more authority than him.

Because my body itself was in a state where it was alive thanks to the Authority.

The Witch of the Time Flower spoke to me as if she had expected this day to come.

“The creator’s authority can overturn even the laws of the world.”

I may not have the qualifications, but I have enough authority.

-…Isn’t it? What are you trying to do to revive all the dead guys so far? Will it be lacking?

That’s right. But that alone isn’t enough.

I’ll do it again.

I will put back everything that was broken because of me. Because it was a series of wrong choices. You won’t go wrong this time.

-…The long-awaited return is just around the corner? If you do it again, will your sins disappear?

I didn’t want to go back, I wanted to run away.

Even if the sins don’t go away, you can do your best.

“Whoever wants to do it again. What are you doing again! We’ve come this far at what sacrifices we’ve made! No Yeah, it’s just a novel. It’s weird to feel guilty that a character died! Is that more important than going back with me!?”

He reached out to me again.

But this time I won’t depend on you.

You must have really hated this world and wanted to pretend it didn’t exist.

But I shouldn’t have thought that way.

This is a world where our novels are set, but there are also things we didn’t write about.

I knew that, but I tried to ignore it and caused too much trouble.

That’s why I can’t go back like this.

We didn’t learn what we needed to learn in this world, and we blew away the opportunities we barely came across.

So let’s do it again.

“As I like. Bitch.”

-The Witch of the Time Flower cares about you. Your soul is too unstable.

-…That woman is right. I was disappointed, but you guys are right to go back. Although your soul has been torn apart, it will still be closer to the original world than here.

-However, if an abnormality such as regression occurs, the soul will be worn out, and it will not be able to withstand the shock and will perish. Even if a miracle happens and endures, it will no longer be able to maintain its original form. You will always be a citizen of this world. Then it will be difficult to return to the original world any longer.

-I have to go back to the past in the first place. My biggest regret is not being able to fix it. Since you are paying for the authority, the body that was treated with the authority will become vulnerable again. Are you still going to make a foolish choice?

“It doesn’t matter.”

No? Rather good. I needed something to relieve my guilt.

I was an idiot.

I always tried to find the cause of making wrong choices somewhere other than myself.

So this time, I will grab it when I have the last chance.

For the first time in my life, I will make the right choice.

“Let’s make a deal. Witch of the Time Flower. Master of all worlds.”

In exchange for seeing the end of the world, I will return instead.

The price for performing insufficient miracles is the authority of the body.

-Your soul wears out and you won’t remember everything. You might be downgraded to something other than yourself.

It doesn’t matter. For the first time in my life, I felt confident.

I am sure that this choice was never wrong.

Even if memories are lost and only emotions are conveyed, it won’t be wrong this time.

I’m just a doll and I’ll help those who hurt me, and I’ll stop denying the feelings I have for them.

-If that’s your choice.

“Don’t be ridiculous! Who do you think will see!?”

– We’ll respect you.

He tried to do something, but the miraculous light enveloped me a little faster.

“No!”

With a scream, he poured out his remaining power on me.

Immediately after that, an unbearable sense of boredom took over me.

I couldn’t think of anything with my dizzy head, and after being worn out as a result of going against the flow of time, even my existence was disappearing.

Someone forcibly grabbed me at the last moment as I was disappearing into pieces.

The scattered pieces reassembled and I regained my form.

For the first time in my life, what is called a miracle came to me.

*

I, who came to my senses, looked blankly ahead.

My head was dizzy, but the scenery around me came into my field of vision strangely clear.

I can’t remember exactly because I’m dizzy, but no matter how much I think about it, the last scene in my memory and the place I’m standing now seemed completely different.

Is this an auditorium?

Thousands of students gathered in one space and were waiting for something.

I felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

It’s definitely a place I’ve never seen before, and I’ve never seen it before, but for some reason I felt like I knew what was going to happen next.
