It’s hundreds of years.

Flood of disaster.

Encroachment of black fog.

And, the destruction of the world.

Nowadays, all of those things have been treated as nothing more than legends in history.

In the end, it became a terrible reality and struck the founding nation.

“Aaagh!”

“This way! This way!”

“Don’t push! Please don’t push me!”

The garden quickly became chaotic with nobles running out.

The situation began to spiral out of control.

Diana sat down and watched the situation.

Despite constantly looking around, she couldn’t find Kyle.

“… … ”

She got up without thinking.

Since there were no orders to stay in place, there was no hesitation in making judgments.

When I pricked up my ears, my extremely developed sense of hearing was activated.

The sounds of crowded screams, urgent footsteps, and even the distant rumbling of the ground.

A flood of information poured into my head.

At that moment, Diana’s frown narrowed.

“… !”

It’s definitely true.

It is the voice of the lord.

Diana ran.

Her cumbersome, fluttering dress was scratched on the floor and made a mess, but she didn’t care.

This is because in this urgent situation, a dress like this is not important at all.

My breathing rose to the tip of my chin and came out irregularly.

You must protect your lord.

A thought bordering on obsession dominated Diana’s mind.

It was then.

Crrr!

A low, eerie cry hit my head.

Diana slowly raised her head.

“… … ”

The skin is crushed here and there, like the bark of a tree, and spits out black fluid.

Huge fangs that stick out like awls.

It looks as if all the hideous materials in the world were gathered together.

Monster.

A monster that is the source of evil and carries disease.

Diana’s neck fluttered as she saw the true nature of the monster for the first time in her life.

Bang bang bang!

Every time the monster in front of me took a step, a loud noise erupted.

The tents on the dirt floor were shaking, and the sound of the explosion, like a thunderbolt, hurt my ears.

“Demon, monster! It’s a monster!”

A loud scream echoed through the air.

The low pitch black fog began to spread at an alarming speed.

I don’t have time to do this.

Right now, I have to go to my lord beyond.

Diana wrapped her feet in magic and kicked the ground.

Still, there was no sign of the distance getting closer.

At that moment, a flash of light exploded from somewhere and engulfed the darkness.

“… !”

The rays of light scattered into the sky.

At the same time, the golden brilliance that embroidered the air tore through the darkness and a deafening sound erupted.

Squeak—

The movement of the monster that was racing with its heavy body skidded to a halt.

The black fog that was wriggling and expanding its territory also began to slowly melt away in the pouring light.

“What is this… ”

A brilliant light covered the sky.

It is a sight closer to divinity than anything else.

A sigh came out of Diana’s mouth, and the nobles who were running away were also astonished at the miracle of God unfolding before their eyes.

The heavy monster’s body began to collapse.

However, unlike the black fog that melted away in an instant, the monster still maintained its shape.

In a final struggle, the monster raised its pot-lid-sized fist into the air.

and.

Phew—

The huge fist began to rush towards the ground, making a terrifying sound.

“Damage!”

“Aaagh!”

The nobles within range screamed.

It was then.

Suddenly—

Dozens of solid red lines were drawn on the fist splitting the air.

Then, with a bang, the fist that was splitting the air shattered like a watermelon bursting.

“… !”

Diana’s bun hair shook violently due to the rushing wind.

The darkness that had enveloped the founding nation slowly began to fade.

The staggering monster also lost its shape and melted under the pouring beam of light.

Diana blinked her eyes dumbly.

After a while, two women started walking with their backs to the sunlight.

It’s a familiar face.

“Isabel Justia… Luna Winfred… ”

****

The first wave was extremely threatening.

The fog of death writhed everywhere, and the monster that came out was also quite threatening.

To be honest, it was quite dangerous.

I felt slightly dizzy when the monster came right in front of me.

“… … It makes no sense.”

Isabel Justia.

And Luna Winfred.

Since women who were originally strong even regressed, it was practically a cheat.

I think he might be the main figure chosen by the world.

The force they displayed was truly astonishing.

It’s a bit surprising that they both appeared in the same place and at the same time, but there’s something else that’s important to me.

[Scenario progress: 55%]

When I finally came to my senses, the progress rate was skyrocketing.

“Tsk.”

There are two presumed causes.

Encroachment of black fog.

And, the horrifying truth I heard from Rudine.

‘It was definitely Korean.’

Ludine recited about the abnormal phenomena that occurred after Kyle’s death.

The problem is that the content was literally shockingly unfamiliar.

Especially for me, who had never once thought about what happened after Kyle’s death.

‘The world stopped… ‘

I definitely said that.

After I died, everything in the world stopped, as if time had stopped.

That wasn’t the only surprising thing.

In a world where everything stopped, Ludine said that she was the only one who could move.

While gently shaking the relic hanging around his neck.

‘Black fog… ‘

Yes, you said you saw beyond the black fog in a world that had stopped.

And, he whispered to me.

— Seungjun Lee.

My name.

Not in imperial language, but in clear Korean.

“… … ”

You saw me beyond the black fog?

How is that possible?

If that’s true.

Could it be that the black fog is a passageway to my world?

“… … Ha.”

The pieces of information began to fit together like gears meshing together.

For a moment, my eyes dilated as I felt a creepy sensation.

‘What on earth is this…? ‘

I felt sick to my stomach and was speechless.

Numerous possibilities were running wild in my mind.

At that time, Diana, who was standing next to me, spoke to me carefully.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s okay. What about you?”

“I’m fine.”

Diana immediately lowered her head with a sullen expression.

“… … Sorry.”

There was a deep sense of guilt in her eyes.

It’s probably self-blame for not being able to protect me.

I smiled and answered.

“That’s it. In the end, nothing happened, right?”

“But… It was definitely dangerous.”

“Were you worried?”

“Yes.”

“Why?”

I just wanted to hear it.

Because I was curious what the answer would be.

A moment of silence passed between me and Diana.

Diana slowly opened her mouth.

“Shouldn’t you go back to the original world?”

“… … ”

I looked into Diana’s eyes.

There was not even a trace of movement on her grave face.

Blind loyalty, straight eyes, or a firm tone of voice.

Diana is truly consistent as always.

Is that why?

My distraught heart slowly calmed down.

It was a moment when I was catching my breath in a strange sense of relief.

“Kyle!”

A familiar voice came from behind me.

When I turned my head, I saw Isabelle approaching me with a smiling face.

“You’re safe!”

Isabelle approached me step by step.

I could barely control my distorted expression.

“Thank goodness, really.”

Isabel closed her eyes and smiled in a sweet voice.

There was a strange sense of satisfaction in that smile.

It’s as if he feels proud of the fact that he saved Kyle.

“I missed you so much.”

“… ”

“You know, I’ve only thought about you, Kyle, every single day.”

Damn it, damn it.

I barely swallowed my words.

You have to endure it.

Because I still have things I need to get from her.

“What is the new solvent?”

When asked directly, the corners of Isabel’s eyes curved like half moons.

She took something out of her pocket.

“Stay here.”

I grinned.

Then he spoke in a brighter voice.

“Thank you, Isabel.”

Isabelle’s face turned red.

“As expected, it’s amazing.”

“Ah… ”

“You worked hard.”

“Kyle… … ”

Toouk—

The tears from the corners of her eyes fell silently.

Isabelle handed me the Holy Solvent in a tearful voice.

“Finally… My heart has reached you.”

Nonsense poured out of Isabelle’s mouth.

Anyway, I carefully examined the items handed to me.

Oh, I’m sure.

The divine dissolver is correct.

“As expected, Kyle, you need me too… ”

“Noisy.”

For a moment, Isabelle’s face became blurred.

“Ka, Kyle… ?”

Isabelle’s eyelids fluttered.

His face felt betrayed, as if he had been punched in the face.

I glared at Isabelle, who had a blank face, and scolded her fiercely.

“Get out of the way. If the business is finished.”

“… … This can’t be happening… ”

“What?”

“I… I don’t need it… ?”

What is he saying now?

I wrinkled my face and let out an annoyed voice.

“Uh, no need.”

A gasping sound came from the corner of Isabelle’s mouth.

I ignored it and walked on.

At that time, Isabel grabbed my arm.

“… What are you doing?”

Isabelle remained silent.

No, he pursed his lips as if he had something to say.

Even he himself looked confused.

Like a person facing a completely unexpected situation.

“Isabel.”

“… … ”

“Hands go.”

Isabel’s eyes shook wildly.

I clicked my tongue and roughly shook her hand away.

It was then.

“Pushup.”

The sound of elegant laughter echoed in my ears.

When I turned my head, I made eye contact with Luna, who was leaning against the wall and watching the situation.

“Oh, I couldn’t bear it.”

Luna slowly raised her tilted body.

Her jet black hair was gently wavy.

“How are you, Kyle?”
