Chapter 319 – Epilogue

A lot has happened during this time.

It’s too much of a hassle to explain everything in detail… but let me give you one example. The teachings of the Cheonma religion have changed slightly, haven’t they?

Perhaps because of the size of the dragon, everyone could see it from afar.

…And my sword that cut off the dragon.

Later, as the existence of the Blood Demon and the danger of Hong Yeon-hwa became known, my evaluation skyrocketed.

Until then, I was treated like “I don’t know where this guy suddenly came from, but since he’s favored by the Cheonma…”.

Nowadays, I’m treated as “the one who descended from the heavens to help the Cheonma.”

Thanks to that, I’ve gained the grand title of Shin-geom (god sword) in this world.

…That’s why they call it a cult!

Anyway, with the teachings changing slightly, I’ve become accustomed to being greeted with cheers from the followers wherever I go, just like Hong Yeon-hwa.

To be honest, as a human, I enjoyed it at first.

How could I feel bad when they blindly praised me?

But it was burdensome when it kept happening repeatedly.

Hong Yeon-hwa said it would be okay once I got used to it, but…

How can I get used to people who start shedding tears of emotion and praying just by making eye contact?

There were other things that happened, but fortunately, most of them were resolved in a good direction, so I’ll just mention them briefly.

Oh, but there’s one more unusual thing that happened. I guess you could say I’ve developed a new hobby?

I unfolded a long scroll from my arms and looked through the story so far.

As I read through the contents again, I felt a sense of longing.

“Yes. There were times like this too…”

Maybe it’s because of a day like today.

Without realizing it, I got lost in my thoughts and read the scroll over and over again.

Yes.

A lot has happened during this time.

It all started when I picked up Hong Yeon-hwa floating down the river one day.

I fell in love with her and risked my life for her for the first time.

What happened next?

I tried to help Hong Yeon-hwa and walked a long distance to the Yongbongji Society.

It was me, who had never been out of the village before!

Well, I didn’t win, but still.

I regret it even now.

I can’t leave out the story of meeting Paeng So-so on the way.

It was a relationship that started with an accident, but now it’s become a precious relationship above all else.
