-4-/_#! )4#41〈4. How long are you going to do that?
– You have to admit it. You cannot move forward if you are obsessed with the past forever.
-4-/_#! )4#41〈4. Even if you don’t want to do it, I can’t help it. I told you.
– Please finish this time. I mean, open the door yourself and break the chain.
-The main character of this world is not Siwoo Choi.

“Fuck. Shut up.”

I guess I fell asleep at some point.
Looking outside, the sun was already setting in Seosan.
I still need to organize my thoughts. Uh?
I don’t feel popular. Surely the association’s hunters were monitoring me?
Maybe he fell in to protect the academy.

“Okay. I guess it was then.”

The Akashic Records were right. Eventually I tried to forget myself. But not anymore. This Möbius strip must be cut off.
And this event is an important event for me.
An important event for me, not Siwoo Choi. It was an opportunity given to me by the artist who conceived all of this.
I instinctively raised my body and put on my cadet uniform.
I slashed the black man, whose color had faded a little while ago, with the sword and ran to the academy.

“Choi Si-woo changed it, so the academy raid monsters that will come out at this time are quite limited.”

There won’t be anything like sin right away. Because they have no interest in overthrowing the academy. However, there was one more villain besides Kim Seung-jun who was aiming for a new sword beyond Hanseong. He is Choi Si-woo’s first S-class enemy, and at the same time, he is the person who sets off the signal for the downfall of the Korea Hunter Association.

“Kim Jae-soo Hunter.”

The main character of the previous work, Yoo Jin-seok, is the biggest rival, but he survived the final battle thanks to Yoo Jin-seok and suffered from an inferiority complex.
A person who showed up to catch even the second new sword.
I have to protect Choi Si-woo from him.

[Goal: Protect Siwoo Choi]
[Reward: Truth]

I have to protect Choi Si-woo. I can know all of this.
How far did you run Entered the academy grounds.
Hunters from the association were slaughtered.
For a moment, I almost collapsed at the disgusting smell of blood.
And step by step, the smell of blood that tickled my nose every time I moved forward. Intention to the extent that you can feel it on your skin
All of this imprints that this is reality.
After running for a while, in the middle of the giant demon, a man grabbed Choi Si-woo by the neck and lifted him up.

“Oh dear. Are the two great swords so weak?”
“Coke. I think I’m going to lose to Shingeom. I don’t think that’s something a person who ate the core would say. Keck!”
“Looking at your body, I want to humiliate you in a different way. I don’t want Yoo Jin-seok to come after enjoying it for a while.”
“On the subject of cowardice. Kut.”

The victim is Siwoo Choi. The perpetrator was Kim Jae-soo, who painted his entire body black.
S-class spearman Kim Jae-soo. That person became a monster and raided the academy.
To be more specific, to obtain a new sword or to kill a new sword, if not both, to use as a vessel.
It was probably around this time that he was contacting the Black Faith.
If an S-class spearman became a monster, it would be on par with or a little less than that of SS.
There is no way Choi Si-woo, who has not yet reached the second awakening, which can be called enlightenment, will win.
Fortunately, it’s not too late.

“By the way. What kind of creature will it be if you insert an SS-grade core into the body of a new sword user?”
“What is that?”
“This will end everything, whether it’s the new sword or the Hunter Association.”

Kim Jae-soo knocked over Choi Si-woo and was thrusting a core that looked ominous at first sight into Choi Si-woo.
SS grade core.
A very familiar scene. And that scene was repeated over and over again.
Seeing that scene that looked so familiar, I went to save Choi Si-woo. And to move forward, I jumped in front of the core.

Kwajik!

For a very short time, I felt a core being driven into my chest.
Kim Jae-soo had a puzzled look on his face, as if he hadn’t expected that an outsider would suddenly intervene.

“U.Eunha?”
“I can’t save the world just by staying at home.”

Even as I say these words, the core embedded in my body rapidly erodes my body.

“What are you? Why.”

The core replaces the heart and returns my body to the core.

“I will end my fight. So you end your fight.”

As the huge demonic energy flowing from the core began to circulate through my body, I felt pain as if my entire body was swept away by the torrent and reconstructed with flesh and bone.
Before long, the pain began to erode my head, and my body tried to run out of control just like the original.
At that moment, I activated the parallel circuit.
I made my self and personality concept into a parallel circuit. To alleviate the pain even a little bit, to stop the body trying to run wild.
To continue this damn story.
As my body, which had begun to run wild, gradually regained stability, I felt the world turn terribly dark.
This was a scene I had seen several times.

Truth

I died in different ways over and over again the same time.
At first, like Yoo Eun-ha in the original work, she was a coward.
I don’t know if it’s an excuse, but I, who was just an ordinary office worker, died. I couldn’t help but be afraid.
Even Kim Seung-jun was sexually assaulted.
That’s why I didn’t like frogs. I hated it so much.
The next threat to me, who was able to hand over Kim Seung-jun, was to die after being implanted by a monster as in the original story.
I gave up my own life from the beginning.

“Yoo Eun-ha?”
“Now I will wake up from this beggarly dream.”

Like that, in the first round, he was pierced by a monster in front of Choi Si-woo, and his core was transplanted and he died.
By the way, even though I was obviously dead, I was back on the day of the entrance exam.
Death was the worst thing I ever tasted.
Could it be that the same time is repeated again?
And no way, it was a way to catch people. I had to deal with the frog again, and this time I ran away because I didn’t want to die, but I ended up being killed by the monster who came to find me.
It was as if this was my destiny.
The dark sky I see in my daily life was the scene I saw while my vision flickered when I died.
I tried to forget the memory somehow while smoking from one episode on.
Although I was an idiot for thinking I could forget with cigarettes in the first place.

“So this time I forced myself to intervene. We brought the original Choi Si-woo back and erased your memory.”

The black-haired Eunha Yoo spoke confidently, puffing out her chest.
I hated her so much that I sat down on her chair in front of her and glared at her as I slapped the tabletop with my hand.

“…… Fucking year. Why are you telling me now? Could you have told me earlier? This is reality.”
“I did. Everyone said The heroine and Choi Si-woo have a world too realistic to be called a dream, five senses perfect to be called a dream, and a completely independent ego to be called a character in a dream. Everyone’s very existence told me that your world is real.”

At those words, I couldn’t resist and lowered my head.
Certainly. I may have been.
I didn’t like to admit it. I just wanted to go back. I didn’t want to be in such a scary world. I was too scared to admit the reality.
Okay. Let’s admit it, but it can’t end with this.

“Under. Okay. Go ahead. The reward is the truth. I’m sure you’re not trying to mess with it.”
“There was a girl. The girl was a god who could make anything she wanted. If there was Ra, the sun god of Egypt in the past, the god who suddenly appeared in this era was that girl. But she had a human body, and she had no idea what powers she possessed.”
“If Chinta has the power, he can destroy the world. What is it?”
“It’s different, but ah. It’s not wrong. Actually, the girl who was an orphan became ‘Yoo Eun-ha’ by making the novel she wrote a reality.”

Was that the reason Eunha Yoo was born?
Was I the right person for the role?
After all, that girl in front of me must be this black-haired Yoo Eun.

“Tell me more because I will play with you.”
“But the girl was bored. So, while reading mythology, thinking about making something fun, I heard about the evil dragon 4zh1 D4h4k4. Oh, excuse me. It’s because I wrote it as a retro to prevent conflicts while repeating the rounds. This is Ajdahaka. Do you know what a lit is? It’s like Yaminjeongeum from Young Passport. Internet is fine.”

Ah, I think you know what that means.
The problem is that this bitch made Ajidhaka. Then the billion killer is the woman in front of me.

“Did you make it?”
“That’s it. Well, anyway, I made Ajidahaka, but then a cataclysm happened. And just like the history of this world, monsters appeared in the world, and all kinds of villains and hunters appeared. The world is so broken, and because of that, what I can do, having spent quite a bit of energy, is to move the timeline even a little to return the main characters, Yoo Jin-seok and Yoo Eun-ha, to the time of the novel. And he sent the evil dragon, Ajidahaka, who had been harassing humans in various ways to another world.”
“To another world?”
“You know Schrödinger’s cat, right? The cat in the box may be alive or dead…… I see. I’ll just say it’s a parallel universe, so don’t stare. It’s been a while, so I just wanted to talk…… The world where the cataclysm exists has come into existence with the previous world as a new parallel world, but I sent Ajdahaka to that world where there is no cataclysm.”

In a word, just like kicking out an unanswered bastard, you sent it to a completely different world to protect the world.
But if so, it’s strange.
In other words, that Ajidhaka came to the earth where I was, but in the original world, let alone Ajidhaka, the Imoogi did not exist.
If Ajidahaka existed, that Earth would have been destroyed too?

“But the Earth I lived in was fine?”
“Yeah, that’s right. I was kicked out, but I couldn’t cause a nuisance to that world, so I reincarnated as a human. He corrected his ego while living a human life for Ajdahaka, who was only doing his duty as an evil dragon without any purpose. However, Ajidhaka, who originally existed in this world, had to return. That’s why I made it possible to see the current world in that world as a web novel. I was going to gradually get used to it so that I could prepare to come back to this world. I added grumpiness to this and made ‘Yoo Eun-ha’ in the novel keep dying. How funny it was to see her upset after reading it all.”

What? Wait a minute. Now that word sounds like it’s talking about me.

“No fuck. For a moment. Wait.”
“It was funny to see Ajidhaka swearing all kinds of things. And when the time came, I made her return to Eunha Yoo’s body.”

Not. Probably not. There shouldn’t be such a development.
I can not admit it. I hate to admit it.
Or maybe Yoo Eun-ha actually has two bodies? It should be.

“Isn’t it?”
“At that time, it appeared from the beginning and started with the intention of creating a novel in which Eunha Yoo is her main character her. She was going to enable Ajida Haka to live as a human. She’s comfortable with Munchkin. That suitable body was Yoo Eun-ha’s body her.”

Even though I didn’t want to hear it, the voice of this damn author kept ringing in my ears.

“The power Ajida Haka possessed was so strong that in order to regain her power in her, she had to put special conditions on it. Originally, Ajida Haka is the mother of a monster, so she should be implanted with at least an SS-class core.”
“However, the more he went, the more he denied the painful reality and thought it was a dream. Not bad. It is impossible to accept that such a world actually exists in the first place. But because of that, he subconsciously thought that it was just a dream even if he died anyway, so whenever his own prologue was about to end, he played game over. Hundreds of times in the event, I got scared and hid, showing my weak side, and there was no sign of passing over at all.”

Why do you keep talking about me?
Not. Stop. I hate to hear it.

“Even Haka Ajida misses the days when she lived in the other world as an office worker, and she kept seeing me as a hallucination during her office worker days of her. It is an illusion.”

It feels like something is pressing on my shoulder.

“So this time I changed my method a little. I’m talking about the second one, but I returned the future Choi Si-woo who failed to clear the original. I also reset Ajidahaka’s head. Is it because it has been accumulated hundreds of times? Either he or the causal law was adjusted, but he finally unlocked his powers with parallel circuits and led to undying unfolding. In terms of game, it’s like learning how to attack after dying hundreds of times from the mid-boss in the beginning.”
“No. No way.”

If you study the monster science of this world, you can learn about the characteristics of Ajidahaka.
Ajidahaka is a pervert who feels joy in the confusion and division of humans and finds pleasure and value in killing people.
No matter how much I live like an idiot, I’d rather have sex. There is no way you would commit a killing act just to enjoy pleasure.

“Don’t deny reality again.”

There’s no way you can admit it I don’t even remember slaughter people in the first place.

“…… Ajdahaka.”

The moment I heard that name directed at me, it seemed like everything inside me was crumbling.
