What is a tragedy?

It is said that they exist to create heroes.

Calm down through tragedy,

Heroes grow up.

Those who couldn’t overcome it,

The rest are useless.

Expelled from paradise.

‘I’ve lived a very shy life.’

Sending away so many children,

The lives barely survived thanks to the sacrifices of those children.

When things went a little well, there were rare pleasant events.

At times like that, the painful memories I barely managed to remember.

I was able to put it to the back of my mind for a while.

‘I thought that day would be one of those days.’

Even for those who worshiped the ancient gods, there was a sacred Sabbath.

On that day, there was a truce between us, and we were able to rest for a while.

The children returned to their homes or homes to catch their breath,

In the same way, I was able to rest my mind and body, which had been gray and crumbling.

That day was particularly peaceful,

Although he was kicked out of the command center by the Company, which measured an astronomical amount of money.

In a villa in a deserted countryside prepared by Lauren.

After moving the luggage with the children and redecorating.

I fell asleep for a while, exhausted.

bang—-!!!!

The commander’s office exploded with a loud noise.

Cradangtang—!

I opened my eyes in pitch-black darkness,

I fell out of bed and couldn’t come to my senses.

Clink—!

“It’s clear that this place is where that heretic lives…”

“Sisters, search quickly. “You must bring his body to the high priest.”

Thump thump thump thump…

The sound of church members quickly climbing the landing.

Hot liquid was flowing from the eyelids,

Excruciating pain was shooting out of both ankles, which had been severely twisted by the explosion.

「Kwaaahaaahhh…

The sight before my eyes was pitch black and I couldn’t see anything,

I managed to stand up, fumbling for the broken pieces with my hands.

Fortunately, there was no one in this villa,

It was a miracle that he survived despite such bombing.

I was blind in both eyes and limping on a broken ankle.

I couldn’t help but hate the pain of broken bones piercing through my skin.

“Ahh…Ugh…Damn…Fuck…!”

“Ah, you were here. Commander Han Seo-jin.”

“Sister, I am sure it is this person.”

The two church members appeared before me,

I started taking something out of my pocket.

“Damn…pseudo…bastards…”

“Ah, fortunately he is alive and his mind is intact. “We need to change the strategy.”

“What do you mean…?”

“Yes, inject Plaga. That would be a more appropriate action for the script.”

Ouch—!

One church member grabbed my arms tightly and twisted them,

The other started to open something, making a harsh metallic sound.

Keekeeek—!

At that moment, I had a hunch.

That this moment will be my last moment.

I ran around in all directions without even being awake,

Although I received scorn, ridicule, and disregard from countless people.

Somehow they gathered talented people and fought against the church.

And the result of that desperate struggle.

In the end, it ended like this.

“Now…if you close your eyes for a moment and take a few deep breaths, you will feel better in no time. “You filthy heretic.”

“Fuck you…! It’s the Sabbath where your ancient gods rest in eternal rest…! Doing something like this…! “You bastards, don’t touch my body!!!!”

“Ah…yes, even though it is not right to commit such violence on such a holy day…nevertheless, you must be eliminated.”

Plaga stretched out its many legs and climbed up my neck,

I tried my best to wave my arms around.

But I, who was not even awake, could not overcome their strong grip.

The moment when the brain-eating parasite was about to bite the back of my neck.

Cradangtang—!

“Commander!!!!”

“It’s an intruder… it’s an intruder…!”

A bright voice and agile body movements.

And the sight of the church members who were attacking me trembling in fear.

Even though my eyes were blind.

It was clear to me that she was Seo A-rang.

Crunch—!

「Tsk…!」

Ujikkeun—!

Pushaaa!

「K…Kahah…!」

The sound of ribs shattering as they are struck by the weight of the back foot;

And then, when she bit the nape of the believer’s neck,

The sound of blood gushing like a fountain from a pierced artery was ringing in my eardrums.

Sigh—!

「Ugh…! Damn… Commander…!”

「Ah…Arang…」

She hurriedly put me on her back,

He quickly started running somewhere.

“Commander…come on…! The gun is here…!”

“Arang…my…eyes…eyes…”

“are you okay!! “I’ll show you the direction, so shoot in that direction…!”

Seo Arang placed a revolver in my right hand.

She quickly started running towards the forest.

Rustle rustle…!

Running with all his might while carrying the heavy body of a man on his back.

Obviously, she must have not yet recovered from the battle three days ago.

She was running, carrying me with all her might, biting her lips tightly.

“3 o’clock!!! 3 o’clock!!!”

“okay…!”

Even in my distant vision, I aimed the revolver at her voice.

He then fired a gun in that direction.

Kieeek—!

“P…Is Plaga here too…? Shit…!”

“The cultists have broken the truce and are coming this way…! “The commander will take you to a safe place, so hold on tight!!!”

bang—-!

Seo Arang put all his strength into his legs and jumped into the air.

I barely escaped the trap dug by the church members.

“11 o’clock!!! 11 o’clock and 12 o’clock!!!”

Bang—Ta-bang—bang–!

“Ugh… Damn it…! If this continues, I’m going to lose that guy…!”

“Damn…my Plagas…!”

Was I just extremely lucky?

Even though my body was shaking violently, the bullet seemed to hit the target.

Fortunately, it seemed to have accurately hit the Plagas running towards Seo Arang and me.

Although, judging by the church members, this ordinary bullet would not have been able to penetrate the magic barrier.

It was somewhat effective against parasites that did not even have basic magical power.

“Huh…huh…commander…eyes…how are your eyes…!”

“I can’t see anything… my eyes are so… hot…”

「Ha…hak…! Don’t worry…! “I’ll run straight to the saintess… she’ll be nearby!”

I hugged her delicate back tightly and surrendered my whole body to her.

Arang’s breathing became increasingly difficult,

The pounding heart began to beat faster and faster,

The voices of the church members became increasingly distant.

So we,

I was barely able to beat them.

「Huh…huh…huh…」

Fluffy—

She sat me down on the log, breathing heavily,

I groaned as I touched my broken ankle.

“Commander…your legs…your legs…”

“Ugh… I’m… I’m fine… I’m fine… Let’s take a break for a moment…”

She wheezed and walked further and further away from me,

Unlike usual, I started breathing more and more heavily.

“Haa…sigh…haaa…ugh…”

“Ah…Arang…are you okay…?”

“Don’t come closer…! You can’t come…!”

Kwasik—!

“Uuuu!!!!”

「Arang!!!」

She started biting something harshly,

Afterwards, the sound of blood gushing was heard.

“Are you hurt a lot…? huh…? Answer me…!”

“Ugh… I was covering the commander earlier… and then… I got on the bridge…”

match—!

The girl roughly slapped the hand I held out,

After that, he started to distance himself from me more and more.

What I was most anxious about.

And even though it was extremely disgusting, I couldn’t stop it.

Plaga vaccine sold exclusively by Vegas Company,

They never sold it to us who were waging war against the church.

Even those that had difficulty obtaining vaccines.

It was given preferentially to children whose condition was severe.

And Seo Arang, who saved me now,

He refused the vaccine I gave him, saying it was always okay.

「K…sigh…mo…everything…for my mother…」

“No… no… no… no…!”

Quad deud deuk—!

「Ugh… gasp…!」

She grabbed the nape of my neck strongly with both hands,

As my airway became blocked, I couldn’t breathe properly.

Arang’s nails began to dig deep into the area around my neck,

She gradually brought her head closer to me.

“Commander… I… it… hurts… so much…”

“Kuhhh…kkk…ah…ah…ah…”

Pure white, rough hair.

The day I was able to barely rescue her who had been imprisoned by the cult,

Hands covered in scars and rough from frequent battles.

Those small, delicate hands.

He was strangling my neck violently now.

“No…no…you…must…protect…the commander…”

Quad deuk—!

“Ugh…Ugh…Ha…Ugh…! Ugh!!!”

She sniffled and bit down on one of her arms with all her might.

Next, he slowly placed the revolver in my right hand with his bloody hand.

And then very slowly.

He raised it towards her forehead.

click-!

I no longer felt any magic from her,

It felt like everything had already been eaten away from deep within my brain.

“No… no… I’m sure… there must be a way… please…”

“You know, Commander…this…if there is no vaccine…ugh…I…I don’t want to hurt you…so…please…”

One of Arang’s hands grabbed the nape of my neck more tightly,

With my other trembling hand, I placed my index finger on the trigger.

“Last…please…commander…stop me from harming you…I don’t want to end up like those fanatics. …」

「Kuhhh…Ugh…Ah…Arang…Ugh…」

Trembling fingers.

The nape of my neck looks as if it will break at any moment.

A sobbing, trembling voice and tears flowing from torn eyelids.

“Thank you… commander… commander…”

bang—-!

Fluffy-

Toad-duk—

The sound of reason being cut off.

I felt like I was going to lose my mind.

I held her in my arms as she slowly bled and lost her warmth,

I made a croaking sound and shed tears.

It was cold.

Although it was warm.

Even though the blood flowing from the forehead where the bullet passed through was still hot,

She didn’t even move.

「Arang…Ah…Arang…」

Tears flowed.

I couldn’t say anything.

Even if I try to say something.

It just becomes another sob, muttering in my mouth.

There was no way she could hear it at all.

“Ah…Rang…you said you wanted to eat…so I slaughtered Surtur and a wild boar…and got pork belly…”

“Huh…like…we decided to eat together…huh…? Please…please…wake up…”

There was no answer.

The temperature was gradually getting colder.

I hugged her body that felt like it was about to break,

He buried his face in the child’s shoulder.

“Please…please don’t leave me like this…please…it’s so…so dark…lonely…so scary…”

“I…we didn’t fall into this hell because we wanted to…so…if you leave me alone like this…what should I do…”

The emotions that I had been suppressing for so long came pouring out.

He hugged her tightly, panting as if she was going to faint.

Stroking my head right now,

I think they’ll say it was all a joke.

He easily ignores such parasites,

I think you’ll tell me that you’ll protect me from the fanatics, like you always do.

The child who always trusted and followed me.

I have never committed a crime so severe that I would die at my hands.

‘Why only me.’

Having to go through this unbearable pain,

How long will this horrible thing continue?

Should I just endure it?

“I… am so scared… so dark… so dark… and now… I want to… go home… home…”

Click!

I put the muzzle of the gun under my chin.

I wanted to stop now.

I’ve never wanted anything like this,

If I worked this hard, wouldn’t I be forgiven if I ended my own life?

Tick-!

The cylinder was empty,

I pulled the trigger again.

Crunch-!

Tick-!

“Stop…now…I want to stop…I can’t…hold on any longer…I…I…I want to give up…now…”

Crunch-!

Tick-!

I just kept pulling the trigger,

The cylinder rotates constantly.

No bullet was fired to end my suffering.

“Commander!!!!!!!”

“Commander!!!!!!!”

Their voices were heard from far away.

The voices of Surtur and Lauren.

Crunch-!

Tick-!

We’re already out of bullets.

I prayed from deep in my heart.

I hope I can get out of this hell,

I hope you can now find rest in this unfathomable pain.

“Commander… Commander…! I found it…! It’s here!!!”

Surtur and Lauren ran towards where I was.

I pulled the trigger repeatedly and endlessly.

Crunch-

Tick…

“Commander… Commander…! What are you doing now!!!!”

Surtur quickly ran towards me and kicked away my gun.

He grabbed me by the collar and lifted me into the air.

“it’s crazy…! Are you crazy?…! “What are you doing now…”

“Surt…I…I’m…out of bullets…I need to kill…it’s terrible…disgusting…there’s something I have to get rid of…”

I kept pulling my finger into the air,

She hugged me tightly and shed tears.

“Commander…please…don’t…I’m sorry…we were wrong…we shouldn’t have left you alone…”

「Soo… Surt… Seo Arang…」

“…Ugh…Ugh…Stop…I don’t like it anymore…”

I do that.

Another child was sent away.

I lived a life full of shame.

Writhing in extreme pain.

I lived that kind of life.

Something like happiness.

That I would never be allowed to.

To me, who rebelled against the world without even knowing the subject,

As if to show off and punish.

—-

Crunch-

The cool metal is inserted under my chin.

Tuk.

With my finger on the trigger.

Ugh…

Just pull.

As long as you do that.

Everything will end.

Percussion—!

bang—-!

“Huh…Huh…Huh…“

“…”

I opened my closed eyes.

She, who was standing next to me, struck the revolver I was holding with the back of her knife.

Instead of a narrowly missed bullet penetrating my frontal lobe.

A lead bullet fell to the ground.

“Huu…hu…thank goodness…ah…no…it’s not too late…“

Kang—! Kakang—!

“Ahh~~~ That won’t work!!!! I really did everything…! It was over in just a moment!!!!“

Boom—!

The clown grotesquely bent his back to avoid the flying greatsword.

Another skeleton knight was standing in front of me with his shield raised, guarding me.

“Master, come to your senses!!! Almost…“

“…I’m fine. Rather…my head became clearer.“

I put the revolver in the holster and immediately took out the assault rifle.

After wiping away the tears that were flowing down both cheeks,

After loosening his neck, he shouted at the clown.

“…Is that you, the bastard who brought Plaga from another dimension?“

“Oh Honghong~ Yes, yes, then. The Great Mother personally commanded me…“

Crack-duck— Crack-duck—-!

Four other arms appeared behind his back.

They all started holding various firearms.

bang—! bang—!

Clan-cracking- tata-tang—!

Tututututu—!

Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang—!

Numerous firearms began firing at once,

Bullets started raining down on him.

◦ at

No matter how flashy the move may be,

Follow the guide provided by the predicted future.

Numerous bullets coolly pierced through his torso.

Pushaaa!

Coming out from within that holey body,

Countless blood stains began to fill the floor.

“This…what is this…this…can’t be like this…“

I roughly handed the rifle to the Skeleton Knight.

Next, he took out a chainsaw from subspace.

And then I lightly release my wrist,

I walked towards him, gripping the handle very tightly.

“Keep smiling like that…I’ll tell you what truly terrible pain is.“

“Hee…Hee Iik…!“

Weee—weee—-!

The limbs of a clown who arbitrarily reminded others of his terrible past,

It was time to cut it all down.
