Chapter 165 – -164- Back to Reality (1)
“Nice”
It was an honest impression. It was ludicrous to claim otherwise when he had spent the whole day enjoying good food and eating rice cakes with Beauty.
I played so dissolutely that my vengeful spirit faded a little.
He arbitrarily broke the will of the warriors and the demon king, and in the end even dropped the goddess.
There were no unfulfilled desires.
Everything I wanted was within my reach, and there was nothing I could not want.
All forces that could threaten me were in my hands, and the crisis disappeared as if it never existed.
When I opened the window, the warm night air cooled the heat.
I enjoyed the night view of the city, feeling the air cooled by the spring rain and the clear wind blowing from the forest.
Perhaps because of the magic lights scattered everywhere, the city at night was moving lively with a different feeling from daytime.
This city, too, was in my hands.
As I turn my gaze along the main street, I see the people I touched.
A small bookstore that you can see while walking along the main street to the west has timid and reticent staff.
In the shop next to it lives an alchemist girl who has settled in the city along the upper level.
…Both had common sense changed for my entertainment.
The taciturn lady of the bookstore made a ‘special service’ to the person who takes out the red book hidden inside the left shelf.
The young lady, who was able to listen to whatever was written in the red book, accepted all her desires even with a deep sigh.
He created a sinister hobby for the lively alchemist lady.
The aphrodisiac she perfected with my help had a special property.
Target orientation.
The colorless and odorless estrus agent, which acts only on the target to act on, created countless interesting situations.
Knowing nothing but research, she came to share with me her hobby of obsessing over twisted relationships.
She was the one who recklessly sold her art at bargain prices and enjoyed watching the romance business around her go wild.
The sight of her boasting about playing a prank on the fodder for the female knight’s favorite horse left a deep impression on my mind.
Apart from these two, there were countless people all over the city working for my desires.
It was a very satisfying landscape.
This is what I had longed for.
Out of an insatiable desire for control, I created a virtual reality… I loved this world where everything was done according to my will.
In this world, all the desires that surged up at any time, as if something had broken, could be resolved.
A weak thought, ‘Should I just stay’, came to my mind for a moment.
I smiled, shook my head, and closed the window.
“I guess I’ve been here too long…”
Unlike the last world, it was me who kept putting off going to the next world because of the lingering lingering feelings even though it was time to move on.
‘In the previous worldview, I got over it without any worries’
Certainly, it was a much wider world than the previous one. It was a much more lively worldview than the previous worldview, which was limited to the area and characters around the academy under the name of [Gate].
‘Just a little… Just a little more…’
“Hmm… Leon?”
Perhaps awakened by the breeze that blew in before closing the window, Bella looked at me with a pale face and only her upper body raised.
The moonlight was softly reflecting on her porcelain-white skin.
Even through her white nightgown, her body showed off her graceful curves.
Had it been her usual, I would have started her second leg with her right away… But now was not the time for that.
“What are you doing when you’re not sleeping?”
“…I have something to worry about.”
“Hey, Leon, do you have anything to worry about?”
“Then”
“Hmm, that’s right…Hmm!”
As she tried to get out of bed, her legs gave out strength and she sat down again.
In her slightly resentful voice, she asked of me.
“…I can’t get up. Leon come over here.”
“Do you have a sore throat?”
“Don’t be kidding me… It’s all Leon’s fault that my legs are like this…”
Well, well, no matter how blessed she is by her goddess, her deed last night seems a little harsh on her.
I reflected and walked beside her.
As I sat down beside her, Bella said calmly, leaning her head on her shoulder.
“If you have any concerns, tell me anytime. I’m always on Leon’s side…”
I explained my situation to her with an appropriate analogy.
“So, you have a goal that you must achieve, but you are hesitant to leave because you are so satisfied with your current happiness?”
“Um, that’s right”
“Did I contribute a little to Leon’s happiness?”
“A little bit… It contributed a lot.”
“Hehe, I’m glad.”
She smiled shyly and tapped her ring. Whenever she thought of her, she had a habit of caressing the ring on her ring finger.
After thinking for a while, she said.
“Rion, is that an urgent matter?”
“Yes.” Sua, who killed my original body and erased all my achievements, had to pay the price she deserved.
In order to do that, I must finish my revenge quickly.
In her memory, before I disappear.
The next question, too, was painful for me.
“Does staying here help Leon?”
“…No, that’s not it”
I wasted a long time here to the extent that the excuse of satisfying my desires in advance is colorless.
Thanks to that, the technique of controlling the mind has become a little better…But there was an overwhelming majority of the time just irresponsibly enjoying pleasure.
She thought hard, then asked.
“Last question, after Leon’s…[Goal] Is achieved, will he be able to achieve greater happiness?”
“That’s for sure”
“…Then, come on.”
It was Bella who spoke in a determined voice.
“…Bella”
“The Leon I know… He always wanted more happiness.”
If her leg had recovered a little, she walked around her room and spoke to me in a slightly sad voice.
“You’ve been meeting everyone at least once lately, haven’t you?”
“…Yes”
“The reason I looked for everyone like I was about to leave was because I really had a place to go…”
Despite my regret, she supported my decision.
“If it’s something Leon must do, hurry up and finish it.”
“…Bella, I”
“Until then, I will be guarding the place where Leon will return.”
“…”
Her first relationship in this world, Bella, felt more attached than I thought.
“So…” She mumbled her last sentence, visibly embarrassed.
“If he comes again… That, Leon’s younger brother, please make it…♥”
Usually, her declarations were just ingredients to stimulate my excitement, but now they were like cold water.
Because the request she just made was something I couldn’t grant.
“Bella, that’s…”
I had no intention of making my own children in this world.
After all, is it because we already know that this world is a lousy lie?
My behavior of consciously preventing having children through various means was based on the perception that this world was not true.
“…Saying no is forbidden”
She forcibly opens her lips that won’t come off, and she covers my mouth with her index finger as she tries to spit out her words of refusal.
“Rion is a person who can do anything, right?”
A clear, clear voice.
Hearing her voice seemed to expand the barriers of thought that had been blocked.
“You can do anything…”
Why am I turning down her request?
It was because they thought there was no point in having children in this world.
It was a fundamental futility that I felt because this place was not real.
… Then wouldn’t all of her problems be solved by moving her into her reality?
‘Me too, I’m not normal…’
In the process of carefully reversing her mind, I also seemed to have developed an inseparable attachment to Bella.
Maybe it’s a twisted obsession with unearned maternal love.
It didn’t matter what caused the feeling. Because I had no intention of letting go of the feelings that belonged to me.
‘There will be a lot of work to do’
Just as I robbed the body of her chaebol president to obtain her body, she intended to present her life in her reality to her.
The body won’t be as good as last time.
I had to make the GK group’s body culture facility mine.
Because I wanted her, her, the same as her body here.
‘I need to get more power, more money’
I didn’t have the money or resources to run the facility.
Fortunately, it seemed that he could achieve both with his revenge.
Because the target I was aiming for was a really desirable prey.
A strong attachment is a strong motivator. If I take away everything from the GK group in the process of revenge, I will be able to summon Bella to reality.
And it might give her the ‘life’ she so much desired.
‘If I want to bring all the other kids, whoa… I’ll have to work hard’
No matter how much Chae Yuna’s wealth was, it was not at the level where she could freely extract clones.
Only after conquering the next world and the next world, will I be able to take true revenge on Sua Kang.
By taking all of her, everything she has achieved.
“…Huh, it looks like you’ve made up your mind. Leon”
“Thank you, thank you”
If it hadn’t been for her timely advice, would I still be sluggish?
I cleared her mind of her regrets and said goodbye to her.
“Let’s go, Leon. To everyone in the Palace of Life, I’ll tell you well.”
Waving one hand, she saw me off.
With her support, I finished the work I had been putting off to move on to the next worldview.
It wasn’t that difficult because I had previous experience.
I asked for help and made a side road to stay connected.
I didn’t forget to trick the server room that was trying to restore it and keep this world I had broken intact.
“I’ll be right back, Bella”
Kissing Bella on the forehead, I firmly disconnected from the world I had enjoyed for so long.
I didn’t move on to the next world view right away.
‘Before entering a new worldview, there is work to be done’
I had something to do in reality, so I focused my consciousness on my real body for the first time in a long time.
“…Then, shall we begin?”
Experimenting with my limbs, I walked out of the connector.
Say goodbye to the world of swords and magic for a while.
It was time to return to Jeong Jin-hyeok from the hero Leon Sodus.
