Roaring!!!

 

The wave of dark red flames nervously spread by the evil spirit collided with the ice magic of my intense firepower.

 

In the area filled with pure white  light, a large amount of magic circles were built and disappeared repeatedly with strong explosions.

 

I checked the situation.

 

The evil god used the seed of Yggdrasil as his own power. In other words, [Yggdrasil] Was the only plant magic he could use.

 

Resilience would have been greatly enhanced, but the effect would have been reduced in the [Temple of Light].

 

Because the realm of light greatly weakens all abilities possessed by demons.

 

As Stella said at the Ice Lake, the power of killing God is also included in the range of effect of [Temple of Light].

 

It is still difficult to fully intervene by God, even by force… I heard that it becomes possible to help me on a very small level.

 

‘Stella.’

 

I remembered my plan that I talked to Stella at the Ice Lake.

 

Now it was Stella’s turn.

 

After I returned from the Ice Lake, the time has come to bear fruit for a year.

 

* * * * * * * * * *

 

The world has reached a turning point around Hicks, a game developer.

 

Number of people who had entered Hicks’ building in Ilsan, South Korea were found in a closed railroad tunnel, and the world paid attention to Hicks.

 

Even if the helicopter bombed, the game building was restored to its original appearance in the blink of an eye.

 

Even when the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was put in, they all went missing and were found somewhere in South Korea.

 

When they returned, they lost all memories of entering the Hicks building.

 

Mysterious phenomena occurred one after another, so the Hicks developers began to be called monsters or aliens, and the government asked them to talk.

 

However, Hicks stubbornly refused the conversation because he wanted a one-way communication.

 

Even though they didn’t cause any damage, they even responded that they were annoyed by humanity’s hostile attitude.

 

Since then, the government has taken a cautious approach, recognizing that the situation is more serious than expected.

 

When such a confrontation continued. That is, about a year ago when Isaac met Stella at the Ice Lake.

 

Hicks released DLC.

 

The title was “Isaac”.

 

[ Is a pure game without any problems, and the DLC is also the same. Please note that we may also take coercive measures if we impose sanctions on the services provided by Hicks for reasons outside of the game.]

 

Aletz, head of game development, spoke through the Hicks channel on the video platform.

 

She bowed her upper body and kept her manners, but the announcement was practically a warning to the nation.

 

Apart from the mystery of Hicks, people were curious.

 

Since the character Isaac, who was only an extra in , Has taken on the main character of the DLC.

 

In the DLC story, Isaac was in a position to know the future, and it was premised on recognizing even the status window.

 

It had an intro that would only appear in mass-produced fantasy novels.

 

DLC stimulates the interest of

 

Merchen’s Magic Knight fans in that they can enjoy content that could not be expected from this game, such as the story that would continue if Dorothy Hartnova did not self-destruct with the floating island and Alice Carroll’s secret It was enough to do.

 

However, the fact that dating content was completely excluded from the DLC and that you had to play an extra character whose attributes were already set, rather than the familiar protagonist, Ian Fairytale, worked as negative factors.

 

Even so, the game itself, such as excellent graphics and controls, detailed and  light action, rich content, and a meticulous physics engine that is several steps ahead of the technology of famous game companies, was so great that it could be said that it was ahead of its time. .

 

In the end, the DLC received great reviews.

 

[ New DLC from Hicks, a mysterious game developer! ]

 

[ DLC Isaac Play Status ]

 

[ Everyone… This is crazy… DLC Live ]

 

[ God game DLC review that was far ahead of its time ]

 

Video platform, internet community, game evaluation site, etc.

 

The DLC caused a huge wave in the world as much as Hicks’ mystery.

 

So many people played DLC for a long time, and a year has passed since then.

 

“Hey, that….”

 

“Why is the sky like that?”

 

“What? What?”

 

The evil spirits were resurrected, and the sky around the world was suddenly dyed in an eerie bloody color, and people were thrown into confusion.

 

An emergency news was broadcast on TV, and experts were called in to investigate the cause of the red sky.

 

At that time, Hicks hacked news channels around the world and transmitted a video.

 

[Hello everyone. I am Aletts, the general manager of the game developer Hicks. This broadcast is broadcast all over the world in all languages. This is to convey an important story to you.]

 

In the square.

 

On the subway.

 

At work.

 

At the restaurant.

 

At home.

 

Anywhere in the world.

 

Everyone held their breath and watched the video.

 

It was the moment when the world was filled with Aletsch’s voice.

 

[The reason the sky is dyed red is because the evil spirits have resurrected and the end has begun.]

 

Hicks’ topicality is widely known.

 

The absurd story that they were a race superior to humans, aliens, or gods was now accepted as orthodoxy.

 

It was too much to dismiss all of Hicks’ abilities and words and actions as mere show, and there was no other way to explain the phenomenon of the red sky that covered the world without warning.

 

Because of that, people didn’t just think of it as fiction and listened to Aletsch’s story.

 

[According to the contents of the video we left before, Is a kind of message. It was part of a plan to defeat the demon. And we’ve chosen a hero to save the world.]

 

A dark space in the video.

 

Alets continued talking under the  lights.

 

[ DLC [Isaac] Was created based on the footsteps of the savior I mentioned. A man who was a citizen of a country called the Republic of Korea is now fighting the evil god Nephid in the body of Isaac. If he cannot defeat the evil spirit, there will be no future for mankind. So please.]

 

In the video, Alletts bowed his head respectfully.

 

[The new “Final Act, Subjugation of Evil Gods” Will be updated. After the update, please defeat the evil spirit.]

 

Alets raised his head again and showed an emotionless puppet-like ponytail.

 

[All the data you fought against the evil spirits will be passed on to the savior. We, Hicks, cannot afford to help because we have to observe and analyze the demon’s patterns in real time and reflect them on the spot. This video was also made in advance.]

 

In the video, the events that Isaac experienced after he was possessed by Unfolded around Aletts piece by piece.

 

He devoted himself to training by pouring blood and sweat every day.

 

Crawling with teeth on the cold floor, leading a body covered in cold.

 

You fight even when your whole body is in disrepair.

 

Nevertheless, we are advancing.

 

People captured the image of a boy smiling and not giving up.

 

[As you play the game, you will be familiar with the journey he has been sweating and sweating. You are the only one who can help him.]

 

People’s hands trembled.

 

Someone clenched their fists, someone lowered their eyes, and someone had a fighting spirit in their eyes.

 

[Again, please. Please… Please join forces to defeat the evil spirit.]

 

As Alletts bowed his head again, the video ended.

 

The streets and the Internet became very noisy, and many people went to the game consoles all at once.

 

It didn’t matter whether everyone believed Hicks’ words were true or not.

 

The video, which was broadcast all over the world, was effective enough as an inducement for people to play .

 

With the new 「Demon Subjugation」 Updated, the action became more sophisticated based on the existing control method, and players were able to fight the evil spirit by manipulating Isaac in the space where [Ice Snow Scene] And [Black Nest] Collided.

 

However, the evil spirit was so powerful and variable that only defeats were repeated even after players around the world took their steps.

 

In the community, a discussion was held to find a way to defeat the evil spirit by using all means.

 

From noble mtl dot com

 

Experts analyzed the elements in the game and worked hard to come up with the most efficient combat method.

 

Each of them provided a play method to drive evil spirits.

 

Meanwhile, the apocalypse had begun.

 

Black spheres appeared irregularly all over the world and engulfed the space.

 

Every part that touched the sphere quietly disappeared, and the world became a mess.

 

As the true apocalyptic scenery unfolds, there are no more people who dismiss Hicks’ words as absurd.

 

Kooooo!!!

 

Suddenly, a magnificent dark blue summoning formation was deployed in the airspace of Korea.

 

Underneath it, a giant demon with many eyes appeared, surprising people.

 

Asmodian, Lucifer of the Commandments.

 

He appeared as the end began and the blockade of the evil spirits was lifted.

 

“Kyaaah!!”

 

“What, what… , what… !”

 

“Monster… ?”

 

Lucifer repeatedly rewinded the time of the creatures who were about to be eaten by the sphere of emptiness and prevented their death.

 

Time is a relative concept.

 

Returning only a part of it was much simpler for Lucifer than reversing the time of everything.

 

Remembering Isaac, the king of ice, Lucifer looked around with countless eyes at the landscape he was trying to protect.

 

[Ice King…. Is this body becoming noble now?]

 

I asked a question that wouldn’t reach Isaac.

 

Humankind recognized Lucifer as an ally, not an enemy, and focused more on playing DLC.

 

After Ian Fairytale’s realm domination, [Temple of Light] Was activated, Hicks started relaying the fight between Isaac and the evil god.

 

A scene that is too realistic to be simply dismissed as graphics is reflected in the video.

 

“Even though the evil god Nepid possessed the power of life, Ian Fairytale was found to have succeeded in using the [Temple of Light]… ! The effect of the [Temple of Light] Is to weaken the authority and power of the demons…… !”

 

In the broadcast, the commentator explained the situation based on the actual battle scene between Isaac and the Evil God.

 

A video of a famous gamer struggling to defeat an evil god was also shown on TV in real time.

 

Those who are not good at games prayed to God, prayed for Isaac to win, or cheered for him while watching TV or Internet videos in their own place.

 

In the apocalypse, mankind all over the world has joined forces toward a single goal: victory.

 

It didn’t matter if I was weak.

 

Every piece of data they played was very precious to Isaac.

 

─ ‘I don’t have any wisdom.’

 

At the Ice Lake, Isaac said to Stella while sitting on the ice chair.

 

─ ‘I am most deeply aware of my inadequacies. Therefore… To borrow wisdom.’

 

─ ‘From whom?’

 

─ ‘All.’

 

Merchen’s Magic Knights 「The final act, subjugation of evil spirits」.

 

Isaac wasn’t alone in fighting the final boss, the evil spirit.

 

It was a battle for all of humanity.

 

That was the reason why Stella burst out laughing.

 

Because I am human.

 

Because we are human beings who form a society and live together.

 

With the godhead at hand, the Ice Wizard finally came up with a way to fight together with everyone and coordinated her opinions with Stella.

 

It was a plan that was different from the method of the independently strong gods.

 

Isaac didn’t want any miracles.

 

I didn’t expect a dramatic awakening like the protagonist in a cartoon in crisis.

 

Everything is the fruit of his achievements under his plan.

 

The intersection of inevitability and inevitability.

 

In the end, Isaac was determined to make his victory inevitable.

 

A time when the fight between Isaac and the evil spirits continued and joys and sorrows crossed the world.

 

A post with a video was posted on the Internet community.

 

[ I found the way to defeat evil spirits. ]

 

* * * * * * * * * *

 

[The demons have been recognized as enemies.]

 

Like a panorama, memories of many battles flashed through my mind.

 

It was all memories of the battle with the evil god Nephid in front of him.

 

Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions…. Countless defeats and one victory replayed in my head.

 

Based on all that information, the margin of error was calculated and numerous variables were considered.

 

… Found. Solution.

 

[Unique attribute [Destroyer] Is activated!]

 

Hwaaa!!!

 

Blowing out the cold air of [Ice Emperor], He used the last power left by Ozma.

 

Increases the effect of [Destroyer] By 1.5 Times and triggers it again.

 

As if his body would explode at any moment, his mana spun rapidly and boiled like lava.

 

Currently, all of my abilities are EX level. That is, it was not measurable.

 

Damn it!

 

I partially summoned and fused Ice and Snow Dragon-Heeld.

 

My right half was covered in dragon scales, a gray horn protruded from the side of my head, and my right fingernails and claws were sharpened.

 

The white jade-colored wings protruding to one side were similar to Ice Snow Dragon’s.

 

Half-man, half-dragon.

 

It was the best way to strengthen my mobility.

 

From now on, I was thinking of putting a clear winning number.

 

Wow!!

 

[Ice Emperor]’S cold wings even spread.

 

As it were, I spurred the ground and took off with a step.

 

Wow!

 

Explosively releasing cold air, it advanced like a flash toward the evil god, Nephid.

 

The evil god threw black and red flame magic and void magic, but thanks to the countless information in my head, I was able to predict the movement and trajectory of every attack and pass it with ease.

 

The effect of [Ice Moon]. After predicting the space where the magic circle of the evil god would unfold and even freezing the space itself, the evil god frowned in embarrassment.

 

While sprinting, he poured his mana into the [Ice Moon] Floating in the sky.

 

Wheei! The [Ice Moon] Expanded its area and took the shape of a full moon.

 

Ice magic swirls around the full moon. The full moonlight is even reverent.

 

This is the result of one year of non-stop training. It must be uncharted territory for evil spirits.

 

The Evil God has even acquired strong resilience thanks to the seed of Yggdrasil.

 

I intended to end this fight with just one [Ice Moon] Effect from the full moon at the battle point, to the extent that the demons wouldn’t even get a chance to devise countermeasures, and even their recovery would be meaningless.

 

I could.

 

There was a [Temple of Light] That unfolded like a blessing.

 

Roaring!!!

 

While fiercely crossing the air, the evil spirit spewed dark red flames and tried to annihilate my body.

 

Turning the track to avoid flames, clashing with ice magic or rock magic, and constantly advancing, fierce battles were fought.

 

A series of sharp and heavy steam explosions.

 

Scattering pieces of ice and snow.

 

In the midst of a large-scale magic feast that could destroy the world again and again, Diakan shot destructive ice magic of absolute zero through his mouth.

 

Quaaa!!!!

 

The blue  light filling the [Temple of Light].

 

A violent explosion ripped through the air.

 

However, there was no great damage from the evil spirit. Only I was able to hide from the cold, blinding explosion.

 

When this happens, the pattern of the evil spirit becomes clear.

 

Hwaaa!!!

 

The [Yggdrasil] Of destruction radiated light, and the evil god built a large magic circle blazing with dark red flames.

 

An evil spirit’s world-destroying magic, the second type.

 

As the evil god stretched out its arms, a heavy storm of flame magic rose up, forming a vast wall and spreading out in all directions.

 

Rurrr.

 

A flame that even distorts space-time advances with a strange explosion.

 

A wall of extinction that sweeps away everything.

 

Its magical power density is close to infinite.

 

The heat that seemed like it would burn my whole body just by approaching it hit me, and it radiated more intense cold air and cooled my body.

 

There was no way to escape other than to fly high and get out of the range of the wall of extinction.

 

If you even stop time with the effect of [Ice Moon], You might be able to aim for a surprise attack.

 

However, [Ice Moon]’S time stop effect does not work against evil spirits. It’s probably because the armor made of black flame melts even the ice of time.

 

In fact, there was no reason to use the time stop effect other than to move quickly or avoid an already cast demonic attack.

 

… I had no intention of avoiding it in the first place.

 

I let out a noise and drove away the fear.

 

I desperately raised my magic power, entwine the cold air of the [Ice Emperor] At maximum output, and cast ice magic while running in a straight line.

 

Kwagagagak!!!

 

An eerie roar.

 

I felt the extreme pressure all over my body, and a burning sensation covering my skin.

 

As it were, it passed through the flames of darkness and arrived right in front of the evil god.

 

It happened in an instant.

 

[…] … !!]

 

Many eyes of the evil spirits were wide open.

 

Prepared to cast attack magic in the direction of the sky.

 

It was a good decision. You must have known that I would stop time with the effect of [Ice Moon] And attack from above.

 

No matter who sees it, that side must be a reasonable and cool-headed judgment.

 

No one would have expected that he would break through the flames of annihilation.

 

According to the data passed on to me, I have found that I can penetrate the wall of annihilation that the evil god will use first.

 

From the second time on, there was no way. The evil god must have realized how much to increase the power of the wall of extinction.

 

Even so, the damage could not be completely prevented.

 

The whole body was already full of fatal wounds. It was as if he was about to die.

 

It got to the point where I couldn’t even move anything except my arms.

 

One of the arms has already been lost. Since the flames of extinction wrapped around his left arm, he was blown away with [Freeze Explosion].

 

Well, it was the expected loss. Rather, this was enough to eat for nothing.

 

In our game, the risk taken when we fail to predict behavioral patterns even for a moment is beyond imagination.

 

At this moment, at this moment, the evil god has a gap.

 

There was no transfer.

 

The evil god has never let his guard down in the battles so far.

 

The only thing unleashed is a blow with all your might.

 

In my right hand, ice magic swirled and condensed, and a 5-star [Ice Explosion] Blue magic circle floated above it.

 

The gathered ice mana emitted a halo like a full moon, shining a mysterious blue  light.

 

Charalara!!

 

A light freezing sound.

 

The [Ice Moon] Of the full moon gave off a blue glow.

 

─ Isn’t that right?

 

For a moment, I smiled and spoke to the head of the evil god, Nephid.

 

─ There is nothing I cannot freeze.

 

The effect of the full moon is stark and simple.

 

A thing that causes absolute freezing.

 

There is no exception to that target.

 

He swung his right arm at the demon.

 

For a moment, the field of view turned pure white, and cold air pierced the evil god’s body.

 

A belated roar echoed sharply across the realm of eternity.

 

Quaaa!!!!!

 

The roar gradually faded, and the space distorted and swirled slowly.

 

As it is, I and the evil spirit began to be sucked into somewhere like an irresistible force while receiving strong gravity.

 

Looking around, I found a passage surrounded by blue light. I felt the same sensation as when moving to the underworld.

 

‘I can’t do this… !’

 

It’s a big deal.

 

This is what happened during the fight with Ozma.

 

The excessively powerful energy exploded, and even the space was shattered and cracks were formed.

 

Ian should have the finishing touches.

 

In the ice block, there was a frozen female demon in front of me.

 

Her shockwave was hit and the dark red flames were greatly reduced, revealing her face and thin neck.

 

“Turn it off… !”

 

I gritted my teeth and raised my mana.

 

The evil god could only be subdued by Ian somehow cutting it down with his spear sword.

 

This means that you must not be taken to an isolated dimension with me.

 

“…… !”

 

That was the moment.

 

As if it were natural, a divine light shone through the back of the evil god’s head.

 

I couldn’t help but be surprised.

 

Ian Fairytale.

 

Once he regained consciousness, he stretched out his spear sword behind him, emitting divine power like combustion, and crawled after us like a rocket.

 

‘Ah… , It did.’

 

A smile came out of his mouth.

 

Ian is an expert in fainting who has trained in fainting.

 

From noble mtl dot com

 

Haven’t you felt that the speed of waking up after fainting is getting faster?

 

In other words, that guy quickly woke up and finished passing out.

 

Ian roared furiously and tightly gripped the spear that held her divine power.

 

I undid the ice, and at the same time, a pure white sword was thrown at the evil god’s neck.

 

Chae Ae Ae Aeng!!!!

 

A clear explosion resounded, and a rainbow-colored light source came to mind.

 

The trail of the sword cut the evil god’s throat, and a dazzling explosion engulfed the evil god’s remaining body.

 

The head of the flying evil god turned into gray powder and disappeared.

 

The last expression she made was… I couldn’t tell the difference.

 

Because my vision is too blurry.

 

Just the fact that I won was resonating deeply in my heart.

 

“… Isak… !”

 

Ian shouted something and stretched out his arm at me.

 

In the midst of being pulled together beyond the unknown dimension, do you want to somehow rescue me?

 

“… Work… !!”

 

She seemed to be screaming seriously.

 

I couldn’t hear well because my hearing was not perfect. From earlier, only tinnitus was ringing as if it would tear her ears.

 

But, Ian. There was no need to get swept away by that guy.

 

The speed at which I was sucked in was already accelerating. Can’t do this

 

On the other hand, Ian was pushed to the other side thanks to the explosion of  light, and he is still in a state where he has not gained momentum.

 

I’ll be able to save that guy.

 

‘Anyway, I’m going to die soon.’

 

I could clearly feel the condition of my body.

 

I was about to lose my life.

 

I tried to go back, but to no avail.

 

She didn’t have much magic left. Perceiving it, Ian felt the same way.

 

With some effort, she stretched out her arm toward Ian. Finally, I scraped off the remaining magic power from her and gathered the ice magic power in that hand.

 

Removed the [Ice Barrier] On Ian, and released ice magic while leaving only the ice barrier on.

 

Wow!

 

The shockwave spread and sent Ian away, who was wrapped in an ice shield.

 

I’m sorry, but no matter how hard he shouted, I couldn’t hear him because the distance moved so quickly.

 

Contrary to Ian, I was pushed more quickly into the dimensional rift.

 

The surroundings are getting darker and darker.

 

I didn’t think much of it.

 

I didn’t even have the strength to think.

 

Because my mind was flying farther and farther beyond.

 

I couldn’t stand my sleep anymore.

 

I slowly closed my eyes.

 

With Chara!!

 

It was then. What I heard was a faint sound.

 

A sound from Dorothy or Ozma’s starlight magic.

 

Chin. Someone grabbed my hand

 

That hand was filled with dazzling starlight as if it were holding the universe.

 

It was such a beautiful hand that it was recognizable even with a blurred vision.

 

He dragged me and flew away somewhere.

 

I could feel the healing power as I rode through their joined hands. His left arm was regenerated from his empty left shoulder, and his body, which was destined to die, quickly recovered.

 

It was clear that someone clad in starlight was healing my body with high-level magic.

 

As if you were wearing glasses with the right prescription, your vision gradually became clearer.

 

Silence came to me before I knew it.

 

“… Uh?”

 

When I closed and opened my eyes, the scenery of the universe covered my field of vision.

 

This sense. A place I’ve been to

 

Is it because the body has recovered? I had enough energy to hold on to my consciousness that was drifting away.

 

I suddenly felt someone’s presence.

 

When I turned my head there, I saw a woman in a black suit standing at a distance from me.

 

Alletts, head of development at Hicks, a game developer who wore a hair iron.

 

In other words, it was Stella, the fairy of the stars.

 

[This is the second meeting.]

 

“… Did you save me?”

 

Stella nodded.

 

[I rescued you because you crossed over to the other side of the dimension. It’s like an abandoned dump, so there’s no hope once you enter.]

 

Stella looked at the distant galaxy.

 

[…] A little while ago, the evil god Nephid disappeared.]

 

I took a deep breath.

 

Because I needed time to get my heart pounding at that one word.

 

But it was not the time to get sentimental.

 

Because there were still things I needed to know.

 

“What about Mephisto?”

 

[They ran away. Due to the defeat of the evil spirit, all powers were lost and incapacitated.]

 

Stella looked at me again.

 

[As you may know, all demons had an organic relationship with evil spirits. Mephisto is slowly on the path of collapse as the evil spirits have disappeared. In addition, Snow White has planted the magic of the night, and they are suffering terribly. He hid himself in a cave saying he wanted to live, but he would die soon after lying down in pain and suffering. It’s a disappointing end.]

 

Stella’s answer was insipid.

 

[See you later. Since you’ve already reached the level of godhood, it would be a very simple task to find that demon.]

 

“Yes….”

 

I took out the pendant hanging around my neck.

 

It was a pendant Dorothy gave me as a gift last year.

 

“Are the others all right?”

 

[There have been quite a few casualties, but the humans you are attached to are all safe.]

 

“… I’m glad.”

 

I was really fortunate.

 

There was a moment of silence after that.

 

[I don’t think there’s much to say.]

 

“I think so.”

 

Because I want to see the rest with my own eyes.

 

[Seongho Han. I have something to tell you.]

 

I looked back at Stella.

 

Stella smiled.

 

[All of the Hicks development team, including me, will be leaving the human world soon. In order to defeat the evil spirit, he intervened exceptionally with royalties, but there is no reason to do so anymore. That’s why, now, even if you’re angry, you can accept it.]

 

Stella asked in an ironic, joking tone.

 

There is no such thing as deep ill feelings now.

 

Even if there was such a thing, I didn’t have the energy left to do anything right now.

 

He smiled kindly and answered calmly.

 

“… It’s okay.”

 

[Ooh? Won’t you regret it?]

 

“I’m tired, now.”

 

I’m tired.

 

Right now, I just wanted to rest.

 

[Is that so….]

 

Perhaps because the story was over, Stella’s body began to glow brightly.

 

Her body changed into an unknown shape that contained a lot of starlight.

 

[Seongho Han. No matter how many times I thank you, it’s not enough. You deserve everything you deserve. Now, you have obtained the blessing of [Fire] And ‘freedom’ that is superior to anyone else. These are all gifts from me.]

 

The surrounding scenery changed rapidly along with the consciousness of moving away.

 

Numerous galaxies and starlight drew beams of  light, and my body was transported somewhere in a distant spiral galaxy.

 

Suddenly, I saw a pale blue dot.

 

[Hero.]

 

Stella leaned over to me.

 

[Peace.]

 

The familiar blue planet.

 

The earth was visible.

 

When I closed my eyes, a warm and warm feeling gently wrapped around my whole body.

 

Soon, I felt the sensation of being sucked into somewhere and regained my consciousness somewhere, as if I had just woken up.

 

“…… ?”

 

The feeling of touching the hard ground.

 

I slowly opened my eyes and saw the marble floor.

 

A place filled with the vague darkness of the night. The surrounding area was a wide square.

 

I got up and looked around. It was a very familiar place.

 

When I turned my head back, I saw a statue of a solemn general.

 

Under it, there was a large Chinese character inscribed: “忠武公李舜臣將軍像.”

 

The meaning is the statue of Admiral Yi Sun-sin of Chungmugong.

 

This is….

 

“Gwanghwamun… ?”

 

South Korea, Gwanghwamun.

 

When the name came to mind, I felt an indescribable feeling.

 

“Over there… !”

 

“I found it! It is him!”

 

“Hey! Are you okay?”

 

As if they were waiting, several people ran towards me. All were Koreans.

 

I could hear her voice clearly, probably thanks to Stella’s recovery, but she didn’t have the energy to answer.

 

“Mister Isaac! Are you okay?”

 

I am recognized as ‘Isaac’.

 

It must be because of Hicks.

 

People supported me and kept pouring out the same questions asking if I was okay.

 

Their voices were getting farther and farther away.

 

Drowsiness was hazy.

 

My eyes slowly closed again, just like that, I fell asleep.

 

……

 

It was a time when the bar exam was just around the corner.

 

After my mother’s death, it was natural for me to not be able to study.

 

When I was reading a thick law book, my vision blurred and tears flowed down my eyes.

 

I couldn’t keep my composure for several days. Separation from my mother made me so empty and gave me a sense of helplessness.

 

One day when I was locked up in a dark room, I just left the house without thinking.

 

Wandered aimlessly everywhere. I really had no idea.

 

Goshi village, asphalt roads, many buildings, noisy shopping districts, overpasses.

 

As I was walking along the street, I suddenly looked up and saw the soft and faint sunset sky captivate me.

 

A new impression came into my mind. I thought the sky was that pretty.

 

My eyes turned back to the street.

 

I saw college students eating at a restaurant or in front of a food stall. They were reading a small summary for the exam, chewing food or passing it down their throats. And then he swallowed the wrong food and rolled up and drank water.

 

On the other side, I saw a middle-aged man. Seeing him lead his exhausted body in a suit, it looked like he was leaving work. He walked along the sunset-tinted sidewalk carrying an envelope that smelled like chicken. He wondered if he was talking to someone on the phone, and he called, ‘Son~’ in an excited voice with a bright smile on his tired face.

 

I saw a mother in a family holding a black bag full of ingredients with green onions protruding from it, walking hand in hand with her little daughter with her free hand and chatting playfully. The daughter started talking about her cartoon characters, and her mother didn’t seem to understand, but she just smiled and agreed.

 

I saw people leaving the subway station and trying to get on the Burinake bus. It looked like everyone was leaving work after work.

 

We were living like that.

 

Sometimes fiercely, sometimes strenuously.

 

Whether there were happy things or sad things, he was living day by day under the ever-changing sky.

 

For some reason, the scenery I had always seen looked very beautiful that day.

 

I went back to my desk, turned on the nightstand, and looked at the books for the bar exam.

 

As if my mind was organized, I studied very well that day.

 

“… ….”

 

Wandering through my memories, I slowly opened my eyes.

 

The sunset  light that penetrates the window is the color of the sun that I have often seen.

 

This is… Is it a hospital room?

 

“Oh! Are you awake?”

 

The nurse who was checking my vitals displayed on the machine next to the bed was startled.

 

“Now, wait a minute! I’ll call the doctor!”

 

The nurse hurriedly left the hospital room.

 

Carefully raised the upper body. I was in a patient gown.

 

I blankly looked out the window. The harmony between the urban landscape of buildings and the sunset sky was very familiar.

 

However, perhaps because the apocalypse was in progress, there were dents or signs of collapse in various parts of the building.

 

Would all the people here be safe?

 

Through.

 

I looked down at my hands. The familiar ice magic flowed out lightly like limbs.

 

I was still Isaac.

 

But I can feel it. The power in my body was stronger than when I fought the evil spirit.

 

A piece of divine power that I once experienced. The status of a transcendent was contained within me.

 

Jumping. Soon the door to the hospital room opened and several doctors rushed inside.

 

From noble mtl dot com

 

Looking into the hallway through the crack in the door, I could see bodyguards dressed in black suits guarding the hospital room door.

 

It was a generous treatment.

 

“Isaac! You’ve come to your senses.”

 

An elderly, half-naked doctor came up to me with a pretentious smile.

 

I read the business card attached to my chest.

 

He was the head of the hospital.

 

“This is the best advanced ward in our hospital. A recommendation has been made at the government level. To serve Isaac, in that sense.”

 

The game developer, Hicks, seemed to have done a lot for me.

 

It must have been Stella’s will that brought me here.

 

“How long have you been passing out?”

 

“Yes, you woke up after a week.”

 

Is it because Stella restored it? It was good for about a week.

 

I don’t know if it feels relatively better because I’ve already experienced fainting for a month.

 

Anyway, it was time to pull the blanket over my body and get out of bed.

 

“Could you stand up?”

 

“Yes. No problem.”

 

He answered a thoughtful question with a kind smile.

 

I’ll have to go back. I don’t know how to go back

 

I wanted to end Mephisto with my own hands. I have something to say.

 

“Hey, Sir Isaac.”

 

“Yes?”

 

“Would you like to look out the window?”

 

The smiling face of the hospital director was meaningful.

 

I moved toward the window and opened the window.

 

A beautiful sunset sky. Building forest.

 

After looking down, my mouth opened without my knowledge.

 

So as not to obstruct hospital traffic, an orderly crowd and station vehicles filled my field of vision.

 

People were all sitting on the sidewalk.

 

People who pray, people who cheer, people who stare at the hospital silently…. I saw a lot of people.

 

They were either holding a sign or holding a banner somewhere.

 

Each one contained a message to thank me, admire my performance, or pray for my safe awakening.

 

An unknown shiver ran through my body.

 

For a while I couldn’t say anything.

 

“Thank you, Isaac. For watching over us.”

 

I turned my head back at that voice.

 

Doctors and nurses, including the director of the hospital, were bowing down to me.

 

“You really worked hard.”

 

“… ….”

 

I didn’t know what to say.

 

A man jumped out of the hospital and shouted with a loudspeaker.

 

“Attention everyone!! Right now, Sir Isaac has just woken up!!”

 

Everybody got up.

 

“Wow, Ahhhhh !!!” And people get up all at once, stretch their arms, live or cheer.

 

A sense of relief and joy filled their faces.

 

Because I can read their minds, it wasn’t hard to figure out that they were sincere.

 

‘This is what you wanted to show me….’

 

Stella.

 

I thought I knew what you meant by bringing me here.

 

I don’t know who they are.

 

But they were so happy that only I was safe.

 

I checked each person’s face. I tried to remember them all.

 

I tried to clearly imprint the cheers they gave out in my head.

 

For a while, I silently watched as if I was bewitched at the spectacle of people going wild.

 

Wheehee!!

 

“Uh, huh?!”

 

Soon, a gate shimmering with magical power appeared in the middle of the hospital room. It was a familiar magic.

 

Hospital officials seemed horrified.

 

Someone jumped out of the gate and stepped on the floor of the hospital room.

 

Turning her head there, a pretty woman with alchemy feet caught her eye.

 

“Hello, honey.”

 

A kind voice.

 

Alice Carroll. She casually smiled at her eyes and said hello.

 

“Alice….”

 

Not surprising.

 

It was the situation I was assuming as a way to return.

 

“Did Stella tell you the coordinates here?”

 

“Yes. You know right away.”

 

Now the gods don’t have to worry about the power of killing.

 

You can freely intervene in the world where Merchen Academy exists.

 

So for me, Stella seemed to have taught Alice the coordinates of the Earth.

 

Alice held out her hand to me somewhat.

 

“Let’s go back.”

 

A smile spread across my lips.

 

A warm wind gently blew and caressed my skin.

 

Perhaps this is a spring breeze.
