When I look at myself through Victoria’s eyes, I am filled with So-oh’s appearance.

But it doesn’t completely resemble Sooman. Strangely, it also contains the appearance of Chosul.

Well, what Soo left behind was a phrase called Soosimgong Choseol. It wouldn’t be strange if the image of Choseol was mixed in there.

But I don’t know why Soo left something like this. It was the first time I learned of this technique.

Victoria comes up to me. Victoria is a little taller than me.

“5 feet? No, it’s about 3 inches shorter. It’s become really small, right?”

“That’s right. People are like this.”

Strictly speaking, the body itself is the monster’s body. The vessel is still there. However, since it has never been alive, it feels like it is just a lump of clay.

“I told you I didn’t want to go home. What will you do if we break up here?”

how?

“Just living.”

Since they can disguise themselves as humans, it’s not a big deal to mix with people. At least as far as Victoria’s memory goes, there’s never been a harvest season here.

So in the third world, it’s less likely that you’ll be killed because you have purple hair.

How to increase the harvest season, create a closed sect, and contact people of higher rank as much as possible.

This time, however, there is a problem that we need to create something completely new, rather than a religion that has already been created.

I’m sure it’ll work out somehow.

I looked around.

The ground has sunk as if a sinkhole has burst. It’s a place made by digging a tunnel underground, so it’s natural that a pit like an anthill would form if it collapses.

The only good thing is that unlike a typical sinkhole, the walls are not vertical, but rather sloped toward the center, so you can climb up.

I left Victoria, who was thinking about something, and moved to go up first.

If I grab the rock in front of me.

If you catch it.

hmm.

The height of the first snow was high enough for me to grab and climb up, but I couldn’t reach it even if I jumped. Since I had memories of So-oh, I thought I could use my martial arts skills if I did the same, so I tried using something called a bobeop, but I couldn’t get the same amount of propulsion as So-oh.

Of course, there has to be a force pushing this forward.

In the first world, it’s magic. In the second world, it’s qi.

It seems like a power that I can’t use fundamentally. I can’t use it even with So-oh’s body.

That’s that.

As I was looking around to see if there was a way to climb up, suddenly water started to run up my legs and a huge drop of water formed on my lower body.

What is it?

I turned around, thinking that he had finally decided to kill me.

No, it wasn’t.

Victoria was looking at me with the expression of a very pitiful creature.

“I feel uneasy about leaving you like this, so let’s go together.”

“Are you kidnapping me?”

“Where did you say such a bad thing? I thought you’d die soon if I left you alone. Don’t you have some kind of incredible power?”

Victoria walked towards me with a limp, waved her hand in the air a few times, and then a staircase made of water appeared.

Victoria carefully stepped onto it, made sure it was strong enough, and then grabbed my arm.

“What is great power?”

“The power I’m using now. Isn’t it what you gave me?”

Slurp.

A small stream of water moves in the air.

You can control water. When you were in danger of being killed by water, you gained the ability to control water.

I shook my head from side to side.

“No. That’s your ability. Sometimes, if someone who contracts with me desperately wants it, they will gain the ability.”

I guess that desperate situation is something you get when you can’t overcome the situation in front of you with your own strength.

People who were in relatively safe environments did not gain superpowers when the harvest season came, and wherever you looked, they gained superpowers when death was near.

“This?”

Water droplets come together to form a question mark.

It’s been handled well from the beginning.

This is an inference based on information from a comic book-like work in a faded memory, so it may be far removed from reality, but I think it brings out something like the possibility that that person has.

So, as soon as you get it, you can use it just like you used to.

Wide or Tish.

Both of them were good at using their powers as soon as they gained them. Of course, the way they used their powers while fighting became more refined.

But looking at Wide who can control fire and Victoria who can control water, it seems like the ability to control it and how to use it are things that you learn as soon as you gain superpowers.

But I don’t know where to get it from. According to the information from the Primordial Heavenly Lord, what I’m taking is the Tai Chi.

I interpret it as chaos where you can do anything and be anything.

It doesn’t mean the combination of yin and yang as I originally thought. It means the infinite possibilities that existed before that, and the original Heavenly Being called the Supreme Ultimate.

If that’s a possibility, if that’s what warmth is, then it should diminish when they gain special powers.

But there is no such thing.

Rather, it gradually blooms brighter with the light. Although, because I am inside the light, it shines in a dark purple color.

“So that’s why you left me without hesitation. If you were godlike, I thought you’d ask me to do something in return for giving me strength.”

Ah~

Yes, it is. It is also in the memories of Daegon and Wonsicheonjon.

Fresh, or god. Among them, there are many who make contracts like me, and they often give something in return for something.

“I’m not a god. So I don’t do that. When I was down there, all I did was ask if anyone was in despair if they wanted to make a contract, and I did.”

But that’s not salvation.

Because it is a structure that can only gain warmth no matter what.

Buying at the lowest point means that any situation is a high point. Of course, compared to the lowest point, there are many, but compared to the brightest point, there were times when it was warmer to harvest.

But that’s a minority.

Most of the time, when you live long, you give a lot of warmth. So, it’s better to keep the free policy.

“Isn’t that what you call a god?”

Victoria asks me as we take her arm and climb up the stairs made of water to the area where we have sunk to the ground.

“No. If he were a god, wouldn’t he have no need to make a contract?”

That’s the god I draw. Perfect. An absolute being who can do anything. I think anyone below that is just a half-assed impersonator or someone who doesn’t know their subject.

I don’t intend to deny it outright though.

If someone says they are God or is next to them and says they are God, I will just let it go and say that they are.

If you stop me from getting warm, I will harbor unreasonable resentment!

“Why is it a question?”

“I don’t know anything. I’m being held by a human child, but my hands are quite warm, so I’m just trying to stay still. ”

Victoria looks at me with the same gaze as she would look at a child.

Is it really that childish? This time, it’s really a simple sentiment. There’s no need to look like a child.

The Future Hope Church had to act that way on purpose to gain Yasle’s trust, but it’s okay to part ways with Victoria here.

The last words Soo-oh said before reciting the spell still remain.

As we continued our conversation, we arrived at a small hill. There were traces of a collapsed area between the hills.

The place I was summoned to was a base dug up from this area, so if it collapses, the whole place will sink.

“Wow, this is really all falling apart.”

Victoria looks around in amazement. If you follow where Victoria’s eyes move, you will go to the places she moved to in reverse order. The last place you will arrive at is the place where she was kidnapped.

She remembers every path she has taken.

She blinked and stared into space as if thinking about something, then suddenly looked down at me and opened her mouth.

“You, then you have nowhere to go anyway, right? Come with me.”

I nodded, knowing that it was true that I didn’t have anywhere in particular to go.

“Yes.”

“You’re strangely quick to agree. What, were you waiting for?”

“Wherever you go is fine.”

“You really shouldn’t go outside and follow a strange person who offers you candy.”

“Then of course you should follow.”

When such a wicked person is made into a harvester, warmth gathers quickly.

They gather quickly, in large numbers, and the end is also quick.

The good ones made with the harvester felt like healthy food, while the bad ones felt like fast food.

Of course, in a world where evildoers are in power, evildoers would live longer and thus have a higher chance of giving me more warmth. But up until now, harvesters who only pursued profit and wielded their power often died.

As I answered with that thought in mind, Victoria looked at me with a very surprised expression.

“You. Don’t leave me while I’m on my way home.”

And I said it seriously.

I said this because it was so funny to see him as a complete child.

“Obsession is bad.”

“It’s not obsession, it’s protection. No, when it was a 25-foot monster, I wondered what to do with it, but it’s a total kid… … .”

Victoria clutches her head as if she has a headache. Objectively speaking, yes. Victoria is still a student. In her eyes, there is me, who looks younger than her.

Moreover, the actions are without caution.

It can be difficult.

Victoria looked around, then grabbed my hand tightly and started walking.

“You said it was a monster, but aren’t you holding on too tightly?”

It felt very strange, as if I was looking at So-oh’s eyes, so I jokingly pointed out what Victoria had muttered a little while ago.

“I think so too. But you’re so childish. By the way, how old are you?”

Age.

If you just count people’s memories, how many are there?

“Three digits, close to two digits?”

“She was totally a grandma.”

Even though she was so impressed, Victoria didn’t let go of my hand and kept walking. She was headed to the port where she had been kidnapped.

I think she’s thinking of taking me home.
