121 – The Undiscovered Future
This person… No, why is this tree here?
The world tree appears out of nowhere and smiles right in front of you.
However, I felt quite a sense of incongruity in that appearance.
‘Was it originally this small?’
Unlike the last time when it was unmistakable, the situation seems to have gotten a lot younger.
Seruk.
The clothes that used to fit perfectly were now creating a dangerous situation with the shoulder straps slipping down.
For some reason, it reminds me of Talia.
“That, are you feeling better…?”
I asked with ambiguous meaning what the hell it looks like along with health.
“Oh my God. Are you worried about me? hehehe.”
A world tree that reacts by putting in a mature Chuimsae that doesn’t match its appearance at all.
While the image of the World Tree within me is being shattered. She opened her mouth
“After recovering my body, I spent a lot of energy purifying demonic energy and restoring the land.”
The accident couldn’t keep up with the way he asked if he looked very strange.
Originally, power was the concept of rejuvenation when used?
“This place still stings. Really, I haven’t seen it like that.”
In the past, she was proud of her size enough to be called a mother, but now her bare chest has become a vague memory.
Pointing her finger at the reddened area above her, she looked at me sullenly and said.
“Why do you say that it’s my fault…”
As I was talking, a scene passed through my head.
‘Could this be the part I mercilessly hacked away with Excalibur?’
I thought that if I applied the ratio of the world tree to a person, it would be roughly in that position.
“Well, should I say there was no other way back then…”
“No matter how you do it, you shouldn’t put something terrifying like that into someone else’s body.”
That sounds a bit odd.
Am I trash?
Apart from sounding harsh, there was nothing wrong with her words, so she immediately apologized.
“Sorry…”
“It’s a joke~.”
The world tree covers its mouth and laughs at what is so funny.
We haven’t even exchanged a few words, but I already feel exhausted.
Isn’t it actually meeting a succubus, not a world tree?
“Oh, it’s too late to thank you. Thank you so much for saving me.”
She bowed her head towards me as well as her words.
“Including Sergina and the child you call Kyudol, to be precise.”
“Yeah what.”
“Sergina… Originally, that child was destined to die to a young elf who was precious to her.”
I understood what she said.
Obviously, that’s what happened in the game as well.
“I did, but you changed the future I saw.”
The world tree, whose voice became much brighter, smiled softly at me.
“No, what did I do…”
Feeling embarrassed by her words about taking me on a plane, I changed the subject and asked about the fact that I hadn’t asked last time.
“More than that, there’s a goddess. Did she give me some kind of blessing?”
“A blessing?”
The World Tree tilts its head and asks back.
“I don’t get tired easily, my legs get faster, I recover faster. Oh, my strength just got stronger today.”
Expectations rose to the limit when he listened to me and put his finger on his chin and thought deeply.
Can I walk out on my own without paying attention to them?
At that moment, my eyes were waiting for the world tree’s cherry lips to open.
“That’s…”
The time when the secret of my body was finally about to be revealed.
“I don’t know either.”
Steam leaked out as he scratched the back of his head and replied as if he was embarrassed.
“Master used to bestow powers on warriors and saints from before, but it’s the first time he’s brought them from outside the world like you.”
What is it? It’s good.
After I showed signs of disappointment, the world tree cautiously opened its mouth.
“It’s my guess, but I think the condition for your power to manifest is probably your wish.”
“Wish…?”
A longing or something like that?
“Has something like today happened before?”
“No… I’m not sure about that. This is the first time I’ve felt it through my body.”
“Hmm…”
She puts her hand to her chin again, lost in her troubles.
If you don’t know this time, like before, it’s a good night.
“Perhaps the authority bestowed on you by the master manifests itself in the most desired form.”
So what’s the speed? Is it the result of my desire to run away? What is the survival instinct that heals wounds?
Thinking that way, I thought it was surprisingly plausible.
Because I always carry the letter of resignation in my heart.
“Is there any way I can handle this with my will…?”
Then you don’t need them all and you can break through them by force.
“It’s an authority given by the master, so I won’t be able to interfere.”
She asked just in case, but it was as expected.
There’s nothing wrong with the world tree.
While I was sighing, I suddenly had a question.
“By the way, did you say that you also saved Kyudol? Why is Kyudol…”
“Do you know that the future has changed since you came?”
“Yeah, it must have changed a bit, right?”
If you go out with them, you’re on the level of giving your head away.
“Maybe it’s a future you don’t even know.”
You saw my future?
“Is that true? How do I get there?”
Whether you go back to where you were or live a happy life, at least you know if you can get out of here!
She was not a drug dealer like me, but a woman who saw her real future.
“That’s what I don’t know.”
“Yes?”
“I told you earlier. You changed the future I saw. But what’s the use of observing it?”
“I still want to hear it…”
“You may think of yourself as nothing. But you, the World Tree, who carves out the fate I observed for you, can you really say that you are nothing?”
No, I didn’t even know there was such a thing.
If I had known, I would have broken my heart.
Then the World Tree raised his index finger and said.
“Can’t you believe it? Then I’ll show you. The future I’ve been reading about, worrying about.”
Talk.
When her fingers touched her forehead, her mind went blank and she felt herself being sucked into something.
From noble mtl dot com
When I opened my eyes, there.
‘How is this….’
It was the village of elves covered in demons that I had just been looking at.
***
‘What happened….’
The situation that I thought was already over unfolds before my eyes again.
‘Actually, it’s a dream that the demon beast returned to the World Tree, and what I’m seeing now is reality?’
The time when I couldn’t come to my senses at the sight that suddenly unfolded.
“Then let’s begin.”
I heard a familiar yet unfamiliar voice from somewhere.
When I turned my head towards the direction the voice came from, there it was.
‘That’s me… ?’
The image of ‘I’ getting up from the seat gathered with the party members caught my eye.
‘Come to think of it, it was just before I came here. It’s the future you’re worried about. So, are you saying that what you are seeing is the future that the World Tree has read?’
Realizing that it was not reality, I decided to watch it for now.
‘So far it’s the same….’
From the warrior breaking the shield to approaching the demonic tree riding Talia.
Nothing has changed, everything is the same as the situation I went through.
“I’ll get it!”
But things have changed since I lost the bottle of fairy spring water.
“Saint!”
Instead of saving the queen, ‘I’ ran to where Talia was headed and got the bottle earlier.
– Wedge!
In the process, her vine flew towards ‘me’, avoiding the saintess.
“Brother!”
Although he was able to avoid it a few times, he had no choice but to get hit at an angle by the vines flying after him.
-f*ck!
“Kyumdol!”
Kwydori blocked the flying vines by inflating his body instead.
-Kyuwoo….
The condition of such a puppet looked very serious.
The World Tree, the Queen, and the Gwydol.
You can’t save everyone.
A situation in which you are forced to give up and make a choice.
– Pp.
‘I’ did not worry for long.
-Quarrel.
A picture of choosing to sprinkle spring water on Kyadol.
-Kyuwoo….
As the spring water reached his body, the condition of Kyadol-i gradually stabilized.
‘Writing that means giving up on the world tree….’
While I was thinking that, the scene suddenly changed and showed Reina.
Swoop.
Reina stood up from her seat with a determined expression.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she pulled out the queen’s bow.
Soon she pointed her bow at the queen.
The roots of the Devil’s Tree flew like a darting arrow toward Reina, who was preparing her skill.
Too late to avoid.
– Tung! Thuddeong!
At that moment, her protective shield formed and stopped her roots from attacking her.
‘Why is the protective shield….’
As soon as the question came up, the view changed and this time it was the queen.
Swoop.
The girl who was connected to the demon tree raised her head.
“Don’t hesitate…”
Seeing that, Rayna closed her eyes tightly and shouted.
“…Pierce!!”
The arrow left her hand and pierced Sergina and pierced the Devil’s Tree.
Koo Goo Goong!
Then, the demon beast and the queen disappeared like dust.
Last minute. The Queen was clearly smiling.
“The mother tree…”
The elves who saw it and despaired.
“aaa!!”
The cry of Reina, who had left her precious existence with her own hands, echoed.
-Kyuwoo….
And Kyudol had a somewhat sad expression.
‘I’ thought it was because of the world tree, so I just petted him.
***
Time passed and it was late in the morning.
There was a small figure wriggling over the bed where the man was sleeping.
“Ummm…. Kwydol….”
Gwydol is looking at ‘me’ who is talking in his sleep.
“Don’t get sick… Ummm…”
-Kyum….
The spirit approached my face and started rubbing my body.
It looked like a child complaining about not wanting to fall.
After rubbing for a while, Kyadol stopped his actions and moved his body somewhere.
Kyudol climbed onto the table next to the window and looked back at me.
-Kyuuu….
Small drops of water formed in his eyes, followed his round body, and fell on the desk, leaving small traces several times.
– Kyuwoo! Kwy! Kyakkyu!
As if delivering the last words, only I can hear the words of Gyupdori, which lasted longer than usual. ‘I’ didn’t hear.
-Paaah.
Against the background of the twilight right before the sun rises, the light emitted from its body.
***
Morning has arrived.
“Ummm…”
‘I’, who woke up later than usual, found the sun rising high,
“Why didn’t you wake me up…”
I couldn’t hear the voice of Kyadol.
“Kyumdol…?”
‘I’, who got up from the seat, called Yeonsin Kyudol-i, but there was no answer.
“Kyumdol!”
‘I’, who was wandering around looking for Kyadol with a panicked voice, soon found the traces of drying tears on the table.
A small seed was left next to it.
***
Circumstantially, ‘I’, realizing that it was left behind by Kyudol, left Raina’s house that way.
The party members were also saddened to see such ‘me’, but they couldn’t speak to me and just followed behind me.
When we arrived at the place where the World Tree was located, the elves who were cleaning the place approached us.
“What happened here…?”
“…”
‘I’ silently gave seeds to those elves.
“This is…”
One of the sages stared intently and opened his mouth.
“Where did you get this?!”
My face squirmed at those words.
“Hey!”
Talia took the sage and explained her situation.
“I’m so sorry… I didn’t even know you went through something like that…”
All the time.
Shaking my head at the wise man’s words, I demanded an explanation of exactly what this was.
“A seed with the energy of a mother tree. I’m not sure, but maybe if I plant this, it will become a new mother tree…”
A wise man who responds while looking at ‘I’.
“…”
Jerking around.
‘I’ silently approached the place where the World Tree used to be and gazed at Gyuldori for a long time, which has now become a seed.
After a while.
– Pak Pak.
‘I’ who dug up the ground planted a seed there, and the ground vibrated weakly and light leaked out from there.
– Sarak.
Soon, a small sprout came up through the ground.
Then, the soil began to become fertile as it sucked in demonic energy left around it.
“Even though it’s still a sprout, it’s already this much…”
Elves can’t hide their admiration and delight.
-Tadadak!
‘I’ turned around and ran out as if I couldn’t stay there any longer.
“Mr. Porter!”
I heard the voices of the party members from behind, but I ignored them and ran away from the village into the forest.
While running until my heart burst, I stopped in a deep forest.
“Reina must have been strong… I couldn’t stand it…”
Reina, who sent her queen away with her own hands, rather comforted this ‘me’.
“Why the hell is that…”
A sobbing voice came from that ‘me’.
“We decided to roll around on the sofa together and be together from now on…”
The time when I was resentful of Kyudol who didn’t keep his promise.
-Brush.
Numerous spirits poke their heads out from among the bushes and trees.
“You…”
‘I’ noticed her presence and raised her head.
𝅝𝅗𝅥𝅘𝅥𝅘𝅥𝅮𝅘𝅥𝅯~
Soon the spirits began to sing in unison.
As the melody resonated through the forest, the leaves around it began to turn colorful.
Then, the trees unified in color like one giant screen.
And then a familiar figure came to mind.
“Kyumdol…”
Kwydol wakes up on the hand tucked into her backpack.
The first meeting between me and him was being reproduced on the leaves.
The scene continues to change, and the past with Kyadol-i appears and disappears repeatedly.
Kyudol being petted.
Kyadol who bumps into me with his soft body.
And the image of Kyadol who wakes me up every morning.
“Kuhup….”
Finally, when the image of Gyupdori rubbing his face while he was sleeping came out, he couldn’t stand it and burst out crying.
Then the surrounding scenery all started to change into a bright space.
-Kyum.
I heard the voice of Kyadol from behind.
When ‘I’ looked back, I saw Kwydol, who was on top of a tree stump.
“Kyumdol!”
‘I’ immediately ran to Kyadol and tried to hug him.
– Squeeze.
‘My hand just passed through such a whirlwind like smoke. As if it doesn’t exist there.
“…Kyumdol?”
– Kyuwoo.
Towards such ‘me’, Kyadol shook his head and opened his mouth.
“What do you mean you can’t go with me…. Why are you doing that….”
-Kyum.
“I don’t care what the difficulty level is, but if it’s them, they’ll take care of it…”
– Kyaew!
A scoundrel who insists that his owner doesn’t say such weak things.
“Kyumdol…”
– Kyuwoo!
Then, after smiling at ‘me’, the figure of Gyuldori started to fade gradually.
And ‘I’ also smiled the same way towards such a kkwidori.
That’s how Gyupdori disappeared.
“Porter… Are you crying?”
After a while, the party members came to where I was.
Talia asked in a worried voice.
“It’s not like that…”
I answered as if nothing was wrong and stood up.
“Then shall we go?”
From noble mtl dot com
Unlike before, I saw the back of ‘I’ walking bravely toward the empire.
I could understand why ‘me’ could be like that.
Because the last thing Kyadol said was that we could meet again someday.
‘This is the future that almost happened to me….’
I just watched, but it felt like my heart was breaking.
If it really happened to me, would I be able to endure it?
As she was thinking about that, she felt lost again and felt like she was being sucked into somewhere.
KYUDOLL!!!!!!!
