Chapter 134
death (1)
“… … In the end, that’s how it works.”
Lee Yoo-ra quietly chanted to the golden sun, who was aiming the tip of the sword at him while burning his hideous mana.
The spearhead that was cut in half, held in my right hand, trembled.
The vibration that started from the window sill soon began to spread through her hands and arms.
Lee Yoo-ra quietly glanced at the golden sun.

Just looking at him quietly makes my stomach feel complicated.
Why are you relying on something like that? What do you lack? If you are not confident in your talent, I will understand even if you do not sympathize with me.
because that’s the best
“But you… … .”
‘… … That’s not it.’
He chewed on the words that leaked out and swallowed them back into his mouth.
It felt like the tantrum inside wouldn’t go away if I spit it out like this.
I felt like I couldn’t fully convey my thoughts to him.
Lee Yoo-ra himself knows best what Taeyang Geum, who has lowered his posture, is preparing.
Because it was hers.
A skill that ordinary people cannot even dare to use.
[Lonely God of War] Lee Yoo-ra’s secret secret skill.
Deadly Sword.
Lee Yoo-ra was stunned when he saw the gold sun skillfully taking the death sword’s rider ceremony.
Would he have changed if he knew the true meaning of despair?
I can not know.
So I lowered my head.
I thought about persuading him with words for a while, but I intuition that it was difficult, and Lee Yoo-ra also spread her mana throughout her body in line with the rising gold sun.

The name of Jeolmyeong-絶命- was not so light. In order to become the family head, numerous candidates, including the head family and collateral branches, challenge to obtain the fate.
However, the majority fail.
When the successor of the head family within the family turns 10, invitations are sent to branch families across the country.
There are various contents, but the conclusion is that if there is a child who can learn secret skills, I will raise it well, so send it to the home.
Candidates who come to the branch gather in one place and have their skeletons examined before unpacking.
The thicker Iga’s blood is, the better.
Secret skill is literally a hidden skill, because outsiders are not welcome.
Those who can be called strangers are the first to be eliminated.
It’s just the first step, but this is where most people go back.
It is only natural that those who are not the skeleton of the Lee family cannot even perform the basics of the sword of death.
The children who were eliminated here do not have much inspiration.
In the first place, most of the people who came thinking that they were going out for a while at the call of their parents because their blood had become so thin that they could not accept even the smallest seed of despair.
It is for this reason that among the children leaving, there are even those who smile saying that it was a fun experience.
The problem is next.
Children who can bear the seeds of despair gather in one place.
They each have their own story, each with their own purpose and reason.
Uncut gemstones.
‘I’ve never been able to eat out because my family is poor. I want to have a birthday party like the other kids. I’m tired of just eating ramen at home all the time.’
‘Mom and Dad say you have to learn to be a great adult?’
‘I went to America because my dad said he would earn a lot of money. but is it weird? Mommy cries every day.’
‘Do you want to live comfortably?’
‘My brother was killed by the Awoken. But the police don’t investigate. I miss you.’
‘Because I want to be rich. They sent you here?’
‘After my mom died, my dad was weird. Beat me and my brother every day. I ran away because I didn’t want to get hit.’
‘I want to become a hero like the family head later!’
It doesn’t matter if you have weak motives, strong sense of purpose, how you live at home, or what your personality is like.
However, the story is divided into two parts.
The cases where parents sent their children for their dreams, even though they lived normally, and the children who came as if they were being sold because the house was a mess.
The former was fine.
There is a place to return to even if you don’t learn the fate.
These children are meek.
I’m not fierce because I don’t know what pain is yet.
For them, life is still about playing around within the fence of their parents… … .
Because it was still that kind of thing.
Lee Yu-ra belonged here.
But not the latter.
A child abandoned at home.
For children who need to be protected, the house was the world itself, so he would be the same as being abandoned by the world.
A child betrayed by someone he trusted.
To a child with a small world, the object he can admire is often seen as a hero.
Police, parents, soldiers, powers, etc.
He longed for and dreamed of them, but his dreams are shattered the moment someone who seemed like a hero suddenly changes and betrays them.
What is the difference between the world betraying the child?
Children abandoned and betrayed in a narrow world.
these are toxic
I lost everything else as the price of knowing the world at an early age.
Most of the stories have something in common.
It is the adults who are broken, but the pain is received by the children.
That’s how you learn the absurdity of the world.
the toxic and the mild.
The nature of the two is different, but once you can learn the basics of despair, there won’t be much of a difference at first.
This is because everyone starts from 0, and the starting point is similar unless they are awakened, so there is no big difference.
But after about 3 years, the story is different.
‘I’ve never been able to eat out because my family is poor. I want to have a birthday party like the other kids. I’m tired of just eating ramen at home all the time.’
‘… … .’
‘I went to America because my dad said he would earn a lot of money. but is it weird? Mommy cries every day.’
‘… … .’
‘My brother was killed by the Awoken. But the police don’t investigate. I miss you.’
‘… … .’
‘After my mom died, my dad was weird. Beat me and my brother every day. I ran away because I didn’t want to get hit.’
Mildness can’t stand it and disappears, leaving only poison.
It was natural for them to be weeded out because they were not fierce, and there was no place for the children who had fallen behind to stand on high ground.
The poison swallows the bag and all that remains is the poison.
Some of them were filtered through the sieve of effort.
‘I want to become a hero like the head of household.’
The docile children left, but traces of them remained, neutralizing the poison.
I learned a neutralized poison called Iyu.
Having learned poison, albeit clumsily, he was able to mix with poisons.
the year you turn 13 It started with about a hundred people, but the remaining children did not exceed fifty.
‘I’ve managed to stay.’
‘Of course I thought no. It’s really strange.’
‘Gaju, didn’t you try something?’
‘Yes, this man. Don’t even say such a thing. What would he think?’
‘Isn’t that true? The household sometimes visits the child every evening. How do I know what will be there?’
The elders of the family would laugh and laugh when they saw Lee Yu-ra, the descendant of the head family.
She didn’t think it would be such a big deal.
Until ‘that thing’ happened.
By the time I entered middle school.
Lee Yoo-ra’s talent, whose gentleness disappeared, slowly began to blossom.
Talent was added to strength, so it goes without saying that he grew up quickly.
During the day, he lived with other family members at school and in the evening with the children.
Until then, I thought everyone was my teammate because I ate with the other kids and practiced together.
however.
which month
Suddenly, a friend who was tied for the same number until last month lost to me.
The guy who smiled at first and said he would win next time, and again and again… … I couldn’t beat her until after that month.
which week
She understood at once the trick that other children struggled to understand for over a week.
The children who practiced with her around her began to look at her strangely.
I thought it wouldn’t be a big deal.
One day.
Characteristics awakened. It was a physical-type characteristic called a hero.
The gap with the children, which had been slowly widening, has existed since that day as an unbridgeable gap.
The atmosphere felt strange. Still, they were friends who suffered together, so I comforted myself, saying, “Let’s not worry about it too much.”
The last day of my 14 year old.
The beginning of the case was trivial.
As usual, we all gathered together to eat, and we were talking about ‘what do you think about this academy middle school entrance exam’.
Lee Yoo-ra didn’t worry too much, so he said calmly.
‘Everyone worked hard, so shouldn’t we just look closely?’
It’s a tone that doesn’t contain any emotions, just saying that it’s obvious.
It was right from her point of view, but in just one moment, the atmosphere became cold.
Feeling strange, I looked around.
All of the children’s eyes were poisoned.
‘I’ve never been able to eat out because my family is poor. I want to have a birthday party like the other kids. I’m tired of just eating ramen at home all the time.’
A colleague who was tired of poverty was starving.
‘I’m a candidate for the head family, so maybe I took the elixir?’
The word from the mouth of a hungry child is to eat.
The guy always resented his small physique.
‘I went to America because my dad said he would earn a lot of money. but is it weird? Mommy cries every day.’
A colleague who had no father missed his family.
‘My father is the head of the household, so he must have taken separate classes.’
The child who missed him still puts his father in his mouth.
The boy thought it was unreasonable because he had no father.
‘My brother was killed by the Awoken. But the police don’t investigate. I miss you.’
The child betrayed by the world was naive.
‘They all do the same… … .’
The naive child’s faith split and it could never be reunited.
The eyes of the child who was trembling with a sense of betrayal were dry with emotion.
‘After my mom died, my dad was weird. Beat me and my brother every day. I ran away because I didn’t want to get hit.’
The child who ran away was looking for a place to hide.
‘… … .’
The child who ran away from the hawk still hides, fearing the sparks that might splash on him.
He knew to himself that he had nowhere else to run.
ah… … .
this is poison
It’s so awful.
Although they had human faces, what settled inside them was a poison.
The poison, which was thought to have been neutralized, had not faded at all.
They are just peeking at opportunities by laying eggs deep in the hearts of children and settling down.
Her talent was enough to spark that.
Only ‘talented people’ can attain death. The moment you realize that no matter how hard you try, you can’t reach it, you despair.
The children had long since despaired.
That evening, he visited the elders of the Yura family.
It is dangerous as it is.
If they were left as they were, it was clear that Satan would arise.
Inside the Hanok room, where a subtle atmosphere is created by relying solely on small lanterns.
The father – the family head – sat in the center, and the elders were seated on the left and right.
The moment they open their mouths about the poison the children have in front of them.
‘Yura. In the first place, this test is for the closing price.’
the swings say
‘It was made so that the precious heir of the head family could learn about the suffering of the world in a safe place.’
It was designed for that purpose in the first place.
‘Didn’t you actually learn it too?’
you are the beneficiary of it
‘So take it easy. Because it was all planned. We’ll finish it.’
Recalling the eyes of the children who were hurt by the world, Lee Yu-ra could not bring them out of her mouth to throw them away.
‘So what did you feel you could fill them with?’
The reason… … .
He quietly opened his mouth.
I remembered their words.
I wondered what they lacked.
‘… … He condemned the irrationality that exists in the world. My family was poor, so I was hungry because I had never felt anything other than the spicy taste of ramen all my life.’
‘I’ll give you my family’s elixir. That child was starving for love and attention, not really starving. It will be enough if you feel that the family gives you love and attention.’
Among the elders, the two closest to the door rose from their seats.
‘The friend whose father left, saying he was making money, waited with his mother. The quiet tears soaked his pillow, and he made it a habit to put a towel over his head every night.’
‘I will take measures so that his mother can spend the rest of her life comfortably in the family. What he really wants is the stability of his mother and family, so he should be satisfied. If you want, the matchmaker will also be taken care of by the family.’
The next square of the elder who just left. Two elders seated in the center of the room stepped forward.
– Dripping.
The sound of the door opening quietly echoed through the room.
‘The Awakener’s child who has a deceased brother hopes for fair enforcement of the law.’
‘If it’s our family, it’s a problem that can be solved enough. I will re-investigate the case and give him strength so that he will not be subjected to unreasonable things again.’
The two go out again. The reason was said again.
‘There was a child who was abused by his father.’
Two elders rise.
‘The other kid… … .’
next.
And then.
The wounds of other children constantly seep out of their mouths.
Every time a wound is opened, two elders arise.
The only one left now is my father, the head of household. Only one.
face each other
The lamp on his chest was looking down, so he couldn’t tell what his father’s expression was.
With only the two of us in a large room, I felt empty.
‘Yura. Now tell me what you want What is the poison you harbor?’
I opened my mouth to answer that it was the reason I took a moment to catch my breath.
‘Please train me. I want to become stronger than anyone else.’
‘Is that your wish?’
‘Since I sucked the poison of my classmates, I can’t tolerate losing to others.’
‘… … .’
‘Can’t be broken, can’t lose. The fact that my Tao is broken is an insult to what the children have gone through. So that means, I’ll take care of it. The weight on your shoulders is too much and you can’t rest. That’s the poison in me.’
‘If you feel that way, you will not lose for the rest of your life. Don’t forget that feeling.’
The family head nodded, and after that day. There was no need to see other children in person.
Another name for jeolmyeong is jeolmyeong.
That day, I erased the names of other children named Lee Yu from my head and engraved them in my heart.
Her sword is a blood flower that she sucks the blood of other children and blooms on it in an unreasonable environment.
* * *
I glared at the golden sun, who was the reason for taking the death penalty ceremony.
Because of what she’s been through, her sword is… … .
… … It was too heavy to be broken by mere objects.
