146 – Scene 146# Hell
*
“… ?”
I woke up in a dark world.
It’s so dark that not even a single light can come in.
It’s dark when you look around.
His hands and feet were all dark.
I was feeling a strange floating feeling.
A feeling that is unknown whether it is sinking or rising.
I was swimming in the darkness as vast as outer space.
But why am I here… .
ah… . hit.
Make sure to read from noble mtl com
Did I fall into hell?
“hahahaha… .”
something made me laugh
Ever since I was possessed as Tristan, the villain of this game, I have worked hard to avoid predestined doom.
There were several near-death crises along the way, but I think it went smoothly.
I kept the characters who had a grudge against Tristan in check and took them to my side.
With the idea of reducing my enemies as much as possible.
There was also my selfishness mixed in.
I wanted to give a chance to the characters and extras who could not play an active role in the original work and disappeared.
It was also what I expected from players when the online game service started.
How many unfinished stories are there in this world.
Just as each player has their own story, they will have their own story. They too deserve a place in the story.
I didn’t want to lose anyone in this world.
Ah, of course, if I weighed my life against them, it goes without saying that my life was more important… .
“I never thought I would make this choice… .”
In a desperate moment, I gave up my life to save Bella.
Is it because you have a crush on her? no.
Because she’s the main character in this piece? no.
To put it bluntly… … It seemed close to rebellion.
If Tristan in the original story had been in that situation, he would have struggled to survive.
I would have tried to get her out of there by throwing her into hell.
Rather, it is trash that would have remained even after using Bella’s love and forcing her to sacrifice.
I never wanted to be that guy.
That’s all.
Whether it was Bella, Wendy, Hellga, or anyone else, I would have sacrificed myself in the same situation.
Of course, I was surprised that I made this choice, but… I do not regret the choice I made.
“by the way… . The name is hell, so why is there nothing?”
They say it burns forever, but is there anything to burn?
It’s all dark, but I’m going to burn well. Oh, or maybe it was to cut costs.
It is not necessary to implement even the parts that do not have to be implemented in the game. After all, it may be the circumstances of adults.
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly had a question.
“… … Was it really cheating here in the first place?”
I thought while meeting many characters. The NPCs here are so delicately made that you cannot tell them apart from real people.
Until now, I thought it was simply a game that faithfully reflected the world in the original.
The game company also showed their intention to reflect the original work and reality as much as possible, and they made it happen.
But even so, something was strange.
Rather, should I say that it is so sophisticated that it is strange?
I remembered the image Bella showed me right before I fell off the cliff.
She had so many emotions that it was unimaginable that she was a made-up NPC.
It wasn’t just Bella’s story.
Wendy, Helga, Blanche, etc. They have shown me more human side than actual human beings.
The more I did, the more doubt I had about this world.
Is this world that the players invaded really a game?
Otherwise… … .
“no… . Let’s not think too deeply about it now.”
No matter how much I worry, the truth is unknown. Only my younger brother or game company officials would know that.
If I ever get out of here, I have a lot of questions to ask my younger brother.
How dare you put me in the game?
First of all, I’m going to pour out all the swear words.
As I grumbled, I felt something creeping under my feet.
“… uh?”
It was a little light.
The dark surroundings were getting brighter little by little.
The light, which was the size of a pea, was getting bigger and bigger.
I realized that it was the bottom. I thought I was swimming in the dark, but it seems that I was falling all the time.
At the same time, my heart raced.
“Damn it… .”
He collected the remaining mana in his body and blew it into the coat he was wearing.
And spread the coat as wide as possible. like a parachute.
“Please be… .”
But is it too late?
Instead of slowing down, the rate of fall was gradually accelerating.
Suddenly, the ground began to become visible.
I closed my eyes and braced myself for a crash.
-!!
With a loud noise, I crashed into the ground.
“eww… .”
The pain was so great that I groaned involuntarily.
Of course, it was fortunate that I fell from a high place and ended up in a lot of pain… .
no. What kind of ground is so bumpy?
As I was about to shake off something on my back, I realized the identity of the things protruding from under the ground.
“…bone?”
There were countless bones scattered all over the place. Besides, if you look at the shape, they are all human bones.
I fell over the bone mound.
I got goosebumps and woke up on my own.
Then I was able to check my surroundings closely.
What unfolded before my eyes was a vast space.
Made up of dome-shaped ceilings and stone walls, this place was filled with only silence and white bones.
It was to the point where I had to adjust my coat without realizing it because of the shady energy coming up from everywhere.
It was then.
“Oh, what is it? Are you new?”
A voice came from somewhere.
“… Who is it?”
“Good question! I am the ruler of hell and the demon king, the nightmare itself!”
“… … .”
I couldn’t say anything.
It wasn’t because I was overwhelmed by his words.
“You lowly fellow! What are you doing! Worship me!”
“… … Can I ask you something?”
“You dare to ask me a question? Bold boy!”
“… How old are you?”
His voice was so soft that I couldn’t help but ask.
“under! I am a lofty being. I have long since forgotten about my age!”
Are you a kid?
I looked around to find him.
“Yes? Do you dare to find me, the great evil? ridiculous thing! try it somewhere! ha ha!”
“I was thinking of that anyway… .”
It was difficult to find because the voice echoed in the dome-shaped place.
However, detecting magical power is not difficult for me who handles moon magic.
I sensed the magic power in his voice.
“Are you there?”
“uh? uh huh This, this guy?”
I stepped on the bone grave and approached him.
“for a moment! You better quit!”
“Why?”
“This body is immortal! A mortal like you is not in a position to dare to see you.”
“You’ll know when you see it.”
“This guy?!”
Every time I got closer, the owner of the voice clearly showed a look of bewilderment.
“Stop looking for me right now! If you quit, I will specially give you the qualifications to serve me!”
“Not required.”
“What… ? Although this body is the highest in hell! Are you rejecting it? What a fool!”
“I don’t take anyone.”
I sighed coldly and walked over to him.
“imperishability! yes! I promise you special immortality!”
“imperishability?”
Snorting, I finally stood in front of ‘the guy’.
Then he picked up the ‘guy’ with both hands.
“Don’t you think this figure is empty to be called immortal?”
What I lifted was a small skull.
My magic detection was talking.
This is the identity of the ‘guy’.
“… … is it you?”
“… … .”
But from the moment I caught him, he kept his mouth shut.
I quietly picked him up and got into a position to throw him to the floor.
“Then I don’t mind breaking this ugly skull.”
“for a moment-! Do you know what you are about to do!”
“What?”
“It’s the deputy attendant! Adjutant Attendance! That means killing the dead twice!”
Should I say it’s ridiculous to try to make excuses somehow? Or should I say cute?
“Didn’t I say immortal earlier? You will die twice and nothing will happen.”
“Even if I am immortal, I hate dying! Anyway, that’s it!”
Anyway, if that’s the case, I can’t help it.
I stopped trying to throw him.
“I don’t know if it’s the Great Devil or the King of Demons, but why are you doing this here? And where is this place?”
“Adventure. Set an example first.”
“… … .”
I looked like I was going to throw the skull back in.
“Isn’t the heart more important than etiquette? Hot hot hot! Aren’t you a kind hearted person, which is rare these days!”
“right.”
“I asked where is this place? You have come this far on your own, and you are asking such a strange question.”
“… what?”
“This is the lowest level of hell… . It is an infinite hell.”
The hollow-eyed skull seemed to sneer.
