Everyone must have heard this phrase at least once in their lives.
‘The world is narrow.’
A proverb-like word that is short yet full of meaning.
It doesn’t really mean that the world is physically narrow as it seems on the surface.
Rather, the person who thought of this would have thought that the land they live in now is so vast that the world is so vast that once they part, they will never meet again.
However, nevertheless, it is a word that comes up when you meet an acquaintance or a familiar person you met ‘really’ or ‘accidentally’ while exploring the world.
In reality, the world is so wide, but it is a word addressed to an unexpected person who is reunited as if it was a joke of fate.
That is what I want to say now.
“Ha… the world is so small…”
However, when interpreted more deeply, it had a slightly different meaning from the original interpretation.
Usually, this is what you say when you meet someone you’re quite familiar with, but I didn’t.
Rather, I came face-to-face with an existence that I shouldn’t have met so much that I wanted to lament and resent it.
Mir, an ancient and ferocious dragon that has been devouring darkness for a long time in the game setting and cultivating infinite power.
As if reuniting after a long time, she was confronting Erina for some reason.
What the hell happened, and how did we get into an argument, and now, this is the situation…
‘Really coincidentally’ happened at the same time that I was leaving Erina alone, and ‘somehow’ there was a quarrel with a person I met on the street, and that was also ‘accidentally’ Mir…
“what the.”
He resents the cruel world, even if he is harsh, and the confrontation that happened with a miraculous probability is ridiculous and makes me laugh out loud.
However, as I stand still, I don’t want to say ‘really’ and I’m afraid, but I have to step forward even if I blame the fate that might not exist.
“Erina, Mir! Both of you calm down-“
The moment I reached out to them and tried to intervene between them.
saak ㅡ
“?!!”
Suddenly, a cool, unfamiliar feeling coming from the back of the neck spreads through the blood vessels and spreads throughout the body with an uneasy feeling.
Before I even thought about what I had just felt, the answer to that question was immediately revealed to me by the scene unfolding in my sight.
The sharp, huge claws that ran towards my face were coming towards me, emitting dark energy.
The time it takes for a person to recognize something is 0.06 seconds, which is truly a fleeting moment.
In such a short time, I recognized the black claw in front of me, and after that, the time flowed slowly as if all time had stopped.
Clear and smooth movements, as if they were shot with a high-speed camera, have been recognized slowly, creating the illusion of seeing moving lines as if they were moving.
At the same time, it seemed to pass through my head clearly, as if it were several big and small events, as if the biography of my life was being quickly screened in a high-end movie theater, and it seemed to shimmer in front of my eyes.
The various crises that I went through after coming to this world, the events and accidents that almost lost my life, and even the world before this… In other words, everything I forgot in the original world comes to mind as if jumping through the deep sea and jumping to the ground, special memories pass me by. pass by
At the same time, I was able to understand at once what I was looking at…. I could even realize what I was seeing, the situation I was in, and the frosty emotions I felt earlier.
death
It was the concept of death that stretched out as if controlling my body and gradually narrowed the distance.
Seeing the claws approaching, I inevitably understood the fact that if I hit Mir’s claws, I would be instantly killed.
The memories that passed me by without a reason up until now were just a flash of light before I met my death.
According to a rumor I’ve heard somewhere, the reason people face the zodiac before they die is in the realm of the unconscious where they desperately rummage in their brains to look back on the situations they overcame in the past and avoid the end that will befall them based on this. It is said to be a phenomenon
As soon as he recognizes the situation he is in, he desperately sends a signal to his brain to avoid the ruthless black claws, but it only feels slow, and his motor nerves do not change, so it took too long to accept the command no matter how much he gave it.
It was a momentary but half-daunting move that was too disastrous to avoid the nails that had already reached his nose.
“No–! I don’t want to die-“
I don’t know if I spit it out of my mouth or shouted out in my heart, but I spit out words that might be a will.
Ting!!
With the clear sound of something iron collided with iron, vision began to flow normally again.
“Huh?!”
I manage to face reality, process many complex thoughts, and caress my face.
Sa… Are you alive?
The relief and cold sensation that came with such a question disappeared, and I realized that I was still in this world.
“Huh… huh… huh…!!”
I was out of breath in such a dramatic direction, I exhaled wildly and looked up at the dry sky, breathing heavily as if vomiting out the fear and anxiety I felt while wiping the cold sweat that came out.
Fortunately, Mir’s claws were stopped by Erina’s sword, and there was no piercing in my face, so I managed to avoid death.
Whoa ah ah ah!
“Ugh!!”
Eventually, the clash of swords and claws created a shock wave, creating a typhoon, and if he hadn’t crawled on the floor with all his might, he might have disappeared somewhere.
“”Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!””
Unfortunately, the people who watched this were scattered like autumn leaves, and the surrounding structures were destroyed in the aftermath of the shock by the wind, showing what chaos really was.
“Huh!!”
“Harold?!”
It wasn’t until after the storm had subsided that they realized that I had intervened before each other’s weapons could scramble.
I covered my mouth with a serious expression that couldn’t hide my embarrassment because I didn’t expect that I would appear at all.
“What will I do…”
“I’m sorry… are you okay…?”
He comes to me with a shaky pupil as if he does not believe in the atrocities he has committed.

Now they treat each other as if they don’t care, and focus their attention on me.Wow!
And at the same time, if I had to explain the current state of being embraced by me…
From the other person’s point of view, it would seem like a man lying in the middle of the street openly in broad daylight when the sun does not set, and playing with women on either side of him.
In other words, it is a very shameful production that causes irreversible misunderstanding in the social aspect.
“Kids?! Wait a minute!! I’m fine, so avoid places for now-“
I tried to make a small argument for conversion, but it didn’t seem to flow into the ears of the girls who were already filled with regrets inside.
“I’m sorry!! This red-haired woman dared to say something strange…”
“I really didn’t mean to hurt you!! If it wasn’t for that crazy bitch who calls herself a dragon…!”
It felt like I was going crazy when I heard excuses from both sides at the same time instead of making excuses.
“You are my Black Knight…”
“Harold is my lover…”
ruined.
Suddenly, such a thought popped into my head, and it quickly filled me up like crazy, and the agency responsible for crisis detection began to blow warnings non-stop.
“What?”
“Say it again.”
The two women, who finally recognized each other again, looked at each other with their infinitely darkened eyes.
“Really, what are you talking about? I’m first… I got Harold first… Harold wants me too.”
“Did Harold made it clear today? He said he loved me, that he would be with me forever.”
They both spoke of a slightly exaggerated past, similar to the truth, and seemed to rush to death at any moment.
“Hot…! Harold almost became my Black Knight, if we had a little more time to talk, he would have been working as my knight, right?”
“I was close enough to feel the warmth of Harold every day in my arms, and if I had met her three months earlier, I would have already gotten married.”
I don’t know how they met, but it seemed like they knew why they had such an arguing with each other.
“Herald and I had our first kiss.”
“Have I even seen Harold sweat?”
“What…?!”
I don’t know why she feels that way, but Mir’s bewildered and jealous eyes seem to envy Erina for some reason, and Erina’s evil smile as if ridiculing it.
“……”
“……”
I wanted to stare at each other without saying a word.
“Harold!!”
“Who is it?!”
This time, he shows off a really fantastic connection, and then he asks me such a question and sparks a spark.
“Who… who are you?”
When he confirms the intention of the question with a bewildered voice, he speaks firmly without a single thought, as if breaking any hope.
“I’m Mir, who eats darkness?!”
“Or is it Erina?!”
suddenly asked to choose one of the two
“That… well…”
“Aren’t you going to talk quickly?!”
forcing an answer
If I had to express this situation that I didn’t want to express… It’s like my current girlfriend and my ex met by chance and started wrestling with each other, and it felt like they came to me.
“Um, so…”
“Stop driving me crazy and answer me quickly.”
“……”
It was really embarrassing for me, and I wanted to run away right away.
Oh, what to do…. No matter who you choose, one or the other will fall.
I thought I would be in danger if I didn’t make that choice.
However, in the midst of such contemplation, time continues to flow, and their patience is running low.
But I couldn’t really choose one, so all I did was keep silent with a serious expression.
“What the hell happened?!”
“I got a report that there was a mess in the village, and it was true!”
Then, the village guards rushed to this side, probably hearing the voices of the villagers.
“Shh…”
“Ugh?!”
Then, as if in a headache, his eyes were turned to the guards.

Now…!Seeing an opportunity, I sprinted off the ground at full speed.
“”Harold!!””
He sprinted without looking back, and it was a cry dedicated to the evil caught in his ear, and a horrifying, pitiful gaze.
“The guards are here, so let’s change the location!”
Whether or not they heard me like that, I started running frantically, leaving behind the voices of the girls I couldn’t hear.
◆◆◆
“Whoa… ha ha…”
Judging that the distance was wide enough, I decided to go into an unknown alley in the middle to catch my breath.
As a guideline due to physical exhaustion that has been felt for a long time, he takes a breath and wipes the sweat from under his forehead with his hands.
“Really, how did my fate come back to me, why do such ominous things happen?”
Mumbling to himself like that, he looked up at the clear blue sky because it was still daytime.
“It’s fate… Are you interested in your own destiny?”
An old man’s voice caught in my ear made me turn my head.
“Who are you?”
When I turned my head, there was a small tent caught in the corner of my field of vision and an old woman stroking a fortune teller’s bead was looking at me.
“Ah, my introduction is late. I am just an ordinary fortune teller, a servant of Morione-sama, the goddess of fate.”
I invite you to sit in front of me, dragging me with a smile that doesn’t look very good.
“With the grace that Morione-sama has bestowed on you, I will look at your fate a little bit.”
Goddess of Fate Morione
In the game setting, she is said to be a goddess in charge of fate, and it is said that she can see the future of others with a high degree of accuracy.
In the game, the player becomes a seed of Morione and cannot give tokens, but he is playing the role of an NPC that conveys the news of the developers who informs about patch notes or upcoming events.
“If it’s fate…”
Squinting her eyes with a slightly questionable expression, the old woman tells you a little bit about me in order to gain her trust.
“Believe it or not, it’s free, but now I feel something foreign to you, maybe you… Are you loved by something incomprehensible to the human realm?”
When I accurately grasped my current situation, she widened her eyes as if surprised, and the old woman smiled once more and pointed to the chair in front of her.
“I’ll tell you more when you sit here. Oh! Don’t worry about money, money doesn’t mean much to this old woman… If your fate is very interesting, I’ll cut it down that much.”
As expected, the person who was a servant of the goddess of fate, as set, was not very good at seeing people.
Overall, the atmosphere of the person seems to be something extraordinary, and on the one hand, there is a sense of insecurity, but there are probably no other characters that are as effective as this.
“Then… please.”
Sit in front of the old woman and sit in a slightly stiff posture, and she said, ‘You can sit comfortably.’ I pointed out that, and my shoulders drooped a little.
“Well then, let’s check it out. Infuse this orb with your magic.”
After that, the fortune teller put his hand on the jade and put a little magic into it, and the indescribable color began to swirl like a cloud inside the marble.
“Ummm… well…”
I can’t see anything in my eyes, but I stare intently at the old woman to see if she sees something.
“uh?”
He opens his eyes with a look of embarrassment and astonishment.
