There Is No Salvation for Extras chapter 0

0 – A love song just for one person

An early spring night, when the cold has not yet gone away.

Flowers blooming here and there show off their beauty, and next to them are decorated with collapsed buildings and blood stains scattered on the ground. No matter how much I thought about it, it was an incongruous scene, and therefore a bizarre scene – the boy laughed.

Is it because of the cool weather? The atmosphere is gloomy. No, it might not be because of the weather. It could be because of the constant screaming, or the shouting of people rushing to kill each other – or it could be because of all of these situations coming together.

In a street without any living people, under the soft moonlight that did not fit the atmosphere – the boy bowed his head towards the corpse with its eyes closed beneath him, and then simply moved forward.

Where is he going? Even he couldn’t know that.

The only thing he knew was that no matter how he looked at it, this was a place no different from hell, and if he couldn’t escape this hell, he would face the worst possible outcome.

So he walked aimlessly. Many people were fighting for their lives, but he didn’t care, and no one came close to him. No matter how you look at it, he is abnormal. Even though blood was flowing from the corners of his eyes, his cheek was torn and blood was splattering, and even though his clothes were covered in blood – no one could come close to him.

Criminals and villains who do not pay attention to him are using evil to stop the heroes.

The heroes tried to catch him, but they were always blocked and they just gritted their teeth.

Leave the place and walk forward. I don’t know the destination. Or maybe there is no destination at all. But he must go forward.

He continued walking, and I wondered if he would succeed in getting out of that place, but-

“-Lee Hyun-woo.”

A woman who called his name succeeded in blocking him,

“Choi Ji-hyeon.”

He looked at her and saw her smile bitterly.

“…Why are you here?”

“You’re not asking because you really don’t know, right?”

We know each other. To be exact – they were childhood friends. The boy and the girl faced each other in the worst way in the worst place.

“-Really?”

The girl is a hero who catches villains-

“Congratulations, hero. “The leader of the group you were chasing is right in front of you.”

The boy stands as a villain who kills the hero.

The boy and girl who walked the same path and laughed together are no longer there.

The street we used to walk together laughing turned into a hell filled with screams.

The friends who used to talk and hang around together continue to struggle and move between life and death.

The heroes everyone dreamed of were now on the girl’s side and trying to capture the boy-

The villains they had been fighting were now on the boy’s side and were trying to take down the girl.

Heroes and villains, those who block and those who kill.

The girl and the boy were now in a position where they had to defeat each other.

The girl approaches the boy and clenches her fists. As the cold flows out of her clenched fists, all around her is covered with ice, and the beautiful ice surrounds the boy, trapping him.

A move to arrest him immediately. Hyunwoo, who judged that, looked at her and quietly grabbed her sword, but-

“-Why?”

After seeing his childhood friend looking at him with trembling eyes, he burst out laughing.

“…Why?”

There are many meanings implied in the word why.

Why did she drop out of school, why did she disappear without a word to her and her friends, why did she give up on her dream of being a hero, why did she become a villain?

“That’s fine.”

Even if I asked a question, I couldn’t answer it. If I tell you the reason, she will no longer be a hero or a villain.

“Really- I just don’t know. “Why did it get to this point?”

Of course, that is not the only reason. Because I really don’t know where to start explaining.

“That’s what I meant-“

“How did it end up like this? “Is it because you lack talent?”

The only thing he knows is that the world in this game is full of things that cannot be solved with effort alone.

“Is it because a scum who has no talent and is unable to improve despite endless efforts tries to step forward without even knowing the topic?”

Extras who were not the main characters had no talent, and no matter how hard they worked, nothing improved.

“Because I don’t even know the subject and want a happy life? Because you desperately want to be possessed in a game? “Is it because I can’t do anything in a world where I’m so possessed?”

“…What do you mean?”

There was no kind world for extras,

“Is my mere existence itself the problem?”

For me, living in such a world, there was no salvation for me as a mere extra.

“Even though I think about it, I can’t think of a clear reason.”

In the end, all these words are just excuses. He is a villain, and villains are ultimately the evil of society. No matter what he says, he will not be excused, and he can never be forgiven.

“If you surrender now-“

“Do you think that makes sense?”

It was a long story, but the conclusion is the same.

The person in front of you now is ultimately just a hero, and heroes are ultimately destined to fight villains.

“…Is that the end of what you have to say?”

“Hyeonwoo. Even now-“

“Well, it’s a meeting between a villain and a hero. Do you have time to chat? Probably not. “It shouldn’t exist.”

He drew his sword, immediately activated his powers and laughed-

“Go for it, hero. “Try to catch the villain.”

He laughed and swung his sword like a boss in a game.

Does she know? That this is all according to his plan.

Her boss, who was originally supposed to kill her, had already disappeared after being caught up in his plan, and he himself became her boss’s replacement and greeted her.

The hero catches the villain, and the hero who will catch the villain is none other than here, and the hero kills the villain and gains honor and power to form a force.

The most important thing is that this hero who is now attacking him with tears in his eyes-

No.

His childhood friend, who was the only one who tried to save him, does not have to die here.

“-Please don’t die, hero.”

Unlike that, I hope you get a happy ending.

At the end of this relationship that started with that simple wish, he made one last wish – rushing towards her.

This is just a story of extras struggling to survive –

“I ask you to hang out with me until the end.”

This is the biography of a boy who sacrificed everything for just one person.
