***

The first thing that comes back is the sense of smell.

My nose tingled at the acrid smell.

Then hearing.

The sound of metal ringing from afar.

And time.

When I open my closed eyes, something familiar floats before my eyes.

[Number of dimension shifts: 7]

okay. I laid down on the bed to sleep for a while, but he died.

Thank goodness no one killed me.

Emma… I hope it takes a long time to decipher.

And even if I find out the contents of that article, I hope that I will continue to live.

I had thought that natural death might be the condition for ending this shitty dimensional shift.

Because that damn pigeon bitch would want me to ‘suffer and die for someone’.

So, I thought that if she died of natural causes, there would be a loophole in the curse she placed.

But the result was failure.

Whether someone dies or a natural event, the dimensional shift continues.

All that’s left is to commit suicide.

I don’t have the courage to try this yet.

– Cough, cluck.

My throat is sore and I have a dry cough.

Okay, let’s stop thinking about the previous dimension.

Because I can’t get more involved.

What happens next is important.

“What is this place.”

I turn my eyes and look around.

First of all, the house catches my eye. Not a modern house made of concrete, nor a mansion made of bricks, but a small house with mud walls.

The room is so small that your feet touch it when you lie down.

raise your body

When I wondered why there was so much sunlight coming through my house, I saw that there was a large hole in one of the walls.

There, broken wooden boards and household furniture are scattered on the floor.

“War? Disaster?”

I think it was either destroyed in war or hit by a typhoon.

If you see a burning smell coming from outside, it is more likely to be the former.

It was a bit easy last time, right?

As soon as you move, isn’t the war too difficult?

Wake up and check yourself.

The clothes are rags. There are some tattered marks here and there, but they don’t seem to have been scorched by fire.

“He just seems like a person who can’t live well.”

I don’t think I’m living a prosperous life, whether it’s with a house or clothes.

Looking at the clothes, I think I’m from the East, and looking at the farm equipment abandoned outside, I think I used to be a farmer.

Looking at the hole in the wall, I open the door and go out.

“Wow….”

The situation is even more miserable outside.

Some houses have roofs blown off, and some have collapsed walls.

And the corpses of people scattered around.

– Wooook

I feel nauseous.

The incident at Heukcheongyo comes to mind.

A high mountain built by the dead.

Memories that I thought I had forgotten come back to me, popping into my eyes.

Ah, now is not the time.

First, I need to figure out where this is and get some help.

My legs are weak because I’ve been lying down for a long time. I stumble along the path and look around.

It took a lot of courage and courage to pass by the corpses left carelessly.

I held my nose and walked away from the corpse as much as possible.

As I was walking along the road getting wider, I saw a place in the distance that looked like a yard where people were gathering.

I think that if I go there, I might be able to meet a living person.

However, when I came back, I noticed that the body was in a strange condition.

If there was a war, the bodies would not be intact because they would have been pierced or cut by something, but everyone is fine with no injuries.

Instead, they are all in a desiccated mummy-like state, perhaps because they have been exposed to sunlight for a long time or because they have decomposed badly.

The skin is shriveled without elasticity, and the cheeks are sunken.

The pupils were cloudy as if covered with a white film, and there was not even a trace of life left in them.

“Is this… a corpse?”

A visual that looks like something you would see in a zombie movie.

Thinking like that, I entered the square.

I looked around, but there were still corpses and no living people other than me.

A situation where you have no idea what to do.

I decided to throw an adventure number.

“Here! There is someone!!!!”

I tried to make a loud noise, but the sound wasn’t as loud as I expected, perhaps because I hadn’t eaten anything.

I put my hand to my mouth, made it into a trumpet, and shouted again.

“Here! There is someone!!!!”

I shout out again.

I hope someone hears this and comes.

If there was someone who could help me, I would scream with all my heart.

However, despite my voice, the surroundings were still quiet.

Is there no one?

Let’s sing it one more time.

“Here…!!”

In an instant, with a dull impact, the body fell forward.

I fell to the ground and something stepped on my back.

“Ack! It hurts!”

“You guy… Reveal your identity.”

Even though I was physically restrained, I was relieved that someone came to visit me.

At least someone I can communicate with.

“Mo, I don’t know. When I opened my eyes, the village looked like this.”

“Don’t lie! It was clearly confirmed that there were no survivors. Where did you send the ganja from? Or are you one of those monsters too?”

A young voice continues to interrogate me, spitting out incomprehensible words.

“I don’t know about this!”

I struggled and protested, but the more I tried, the stronger the force crushing me became.

Unable to move, I continued to scream and confess my innocence.

“Move your feet away.”

I heard a mature woman’s voice, different from the voice that questioned me.

And the shoes worn by the person whose voice was heard appeared before my eyes.

“But, Master. He’s a suspicious person.”

“Seeing that I can’t sense any evil energy, I think it’s someone hiding somewhere. He must have seen a lot of bad things, so let him go.”

The pressure on my back disappeared when I heard the woman’s voice.

“Wake up.”

I woke up at the sound of a woman’s voice.

The person who told me to release her was a middle-aged woman with a nice appearance and a sturdy body.

“Please understand that this happened because my student was very meticulous. The area around me is dizzy.”

“Yes… well… but is there a war? All the people…”

“I guess I woke up without realizing it and didn’t understand the situation. Anyway, the place is a bit chaotic, so follow me. I will talk to you at an appropriate location.”

The woman led me, always addressing me with respect.

I had no reason to refuse, so I nodded and followed her.

“Oh, before you go, at least say hello to my disciple. This too is fate.”

The woman cast her gaze behind me, and only then did I turn to face the person who had been restraining me.

Hair tied back, sharp eyes, and slim face line.

I rubbed my eyes and looked at her again.

“Hmph, I suppressed him because he was acting very suspiciously, so don’t feel unfair.”

With a sulky face, she puffed out her cheeks and muttered, as if she didn’t like me.

“……”

When I saw that face, I couldn’t say anything.

The woman took the gun and introduced herself.

“Yan Lun Gong’s 37th disciple Namgung Soyu. This is my name.”

A girl with the face of a teacher I had sent to the other side of my memory and temporarily forgotten looked at me indifferently.
