After being guided to the room, the saint left.

Since I was suddenly moved through space, it must have been hard on my body.

Although it meant taking a day off today.

I have already experienced spatial movement several times.

Once when I came to this world and once during my first job change. And as we entered the Forest of Euryral.

Another time due to defensive magic.

I’ve experienced this a total of 4 times.

They say it’s hard to experience it even once.

Perhaps because I’ve already experienced it several times during my gaming days, I’ve become accustomed to spatial movement.

‘Still, it’s a favor, so should I accept it?’

The room layout was quite simple.

There was only one bed and a small desk next to it.

Not even a single common wardrobe existed.

It was probably a temporary accommodation to be used only for today.

The temple hasn’t figured out my identity yet.

There was no way to determine whether I was a villain or a righteous person.

Unless the High Priest comes and says, “Who am I?”

“But, no matter who sees me, I am a wicked person.”

A lot of guys I’ve killed so far.

Most of the people I killed were villains, but this Materia Temple.

Whoever it was, they had the belief that life was precious.

To be precise, humans are precious.

No evil person was evil from the beginning. The belief that the time spent growing up or the environment has made humans so evil.

That wasn’t a bad thing.

Because I don’t force it. In some ways, it was much better than other temples.

For a just person.

“Well, as long as you don’t get caught by these guys.”

During my gaming days, one of the people I was playing with got caught in the Materia Temple.

Based on what happened at that time, it was imprinted on me that it was the most comfortable temple and the temple that should not be disturbed.

I lay down on the prepared bed.

“Ohh..”

On the outside, it looked like just an old bed, but when I lay down on it, it was quite soft.

This wasn’t as good as my bed at the guild, so I was able to get a satisfactory sleep.

“Before going to sleep.”

I opened the party window.

-Ryuk! are you okay?! Where are you now!

– Looking at the time, it’s hard to think that I’ve already changed jobs, but… Master, it seems like I’m in a different area.

While Rosellnia was making a fuss.

Bella calmly analyzed my situation.

Bella was right.

It only took less than 30 minutes to get here.

No matter how easy the job change was, this was my fourth job change.

I couldn’t clear it in 30 minutes.

“I’m fine.”

When I started chatting, everyone responded that they were relieved.

-Ryuk. Where is it?

“here?”

Is it okay to say this?

The distance from the snowy mountain where I was to this place takes at least one to two months, no matter how fast you travel.

Even if it flies on the back of Aphria or Limrim. At least 2 weeks.

I think my job change would have been over by that time.

If he was a savior from the temple, he might not have been sent out.

“Because you never know. come here. Leave the portal open so you can return to the guild at any time.”

-okay. I’ll tell Nine.

“How long do you think it will take?”

-Hmm… That’s my guess. If I fly, I think it will arrive in about a week!

1 week?

I expected at least 2 weeks, but is it possible to fly that fast?

Or maybe I had underestimated Afrieh.

“I understand. If you can come quickly, come. I will also tell the story to the temple.”

-I’ll be there soon. Mr. Ryuk.

Finally, after finishing Lim Lim’s words, I closed the chat window.

Are Kar and Arvin doing something? He didn’t show any intention of reading the chat.

“Well, you must be busy with something.”

I lay down on the bed and slowly fell into sleep.

Even if I sleep, I can’t sleep as soundly as in real life.

However, fatigue can be fully recovered.

That alone was comfort enough.

“Ha.. I wonder when I can rest comfortably.”

It’s already been two years.

Even though I sleep, I don’t feel like I slept well, and I’m not tired either.

Ambiguous state.

“What happens after defeating the final boss?”

Because we haven’t even reached the final boss yet.

It was literally what if.

What if, after defeating the final boss, I was given two options?

Will that stay in the game here or not?

What if you had a choice about whether to return to reality?

“Which one should I choose.”

When I first came here, I would have wanted to go back to reality.

Until the fight at Sapa Castle, I wanted to stay here.

And now.

Hyunjae feels the risk of dying.

“I don’t know. I need to sleep first.”

I covered myself with a blanket and went to sleep to calm my wild mind.

*

“Are you here? Saint?”

“Did you call the High Priest?”

“Yes. First, this way.”

Lee Ji-ah, who entered the high priest’s room, pulled out an empty chair and sat down.

When I looked around, there were three more people sitting there besides myself and the high priest.

One person is the acting minister.

One is the leader of the Temple Knights.

Who is the last one?

“High Priest, this person is.”

“Ah.. this person.”

“Mr. High Priest, I would like to introduce myself.”

“Of course.”

The voice heard from inside the cloak was a deep male voice.

The man stood up and slowly took off his warm cloak.

OK.

What appeared there was a delicate-looking woman, the complete opposite of her voice.

“I am the ruler of the Shafria continent, including Masteri here. Shafria III. It’s the queen.”

“Queen..”

Lee Ji-ah looked at the queen with blank eyes.

Even during the gaming days, the Queen was never seen once.

The story that there is a king who rules the Continent of Shapria was confirmed as the story progressed.

However, there was no player anywhere who saw the king.

Rumors briefly circulated that there was a player who had seen the king.

Since the identity of the player could not be determined, it was quickly buried by other rumors.

‘I was lazy. I should have known the king’s identity right away when I came here…’

Ji-ah Lee was anxious.

In the story, the throne has never changed for thousands of years.

There were several rebellions, but all failed.

It was said that it was due to a mysterious power that only the king’s right-hand man possessed. I can’t find out in detail.

The king did not like the player’s presence very much.

‘What a hassle our players had to go through because of that king.’

The king hides his existence from the players.

They ordered players to do this and that, but placed restrictions that bordered on evil on players who did not follow them.

For example.

Something like preventing the village NPC’s favor from building up the moment you enter the village.

When buying and selling items in town, they offer ridiculous prices.

The biggest problem was this.

Whenever possible, he placed wanted players on a wanted list, causing various malicious players and NPCs to attack him.

If you are wanted, you cannot enter the village or buy or sell goods.

He was a very trashy guy.

Such a king was in front of me.

Lee Ja-ah’s eyebrows twitched greatly.

“You don’t like me.”

“No. There is no reason for me not to like the queen.”

Even if I try to keep my expression as clear as possible.

Lee Ji-ah, who had been on the wanted list several times, was not easily released.

‘It wasn’t even a crime I committed!’

Lee Ji-ah proudly enjoyed the game.

There is only one reason why she is wanted.

The reason was that he refused the king’s orders to the players and played his own game.

“Can I start with my story?”

“Yes. You can do it.”

Ji-ah Lee calmed down her racing heart and listened to the queen.

“When players existed in this world 32 years ago, they challenged a being called the final boss.”

“That’s a fact I know. At that time, I had just entered the priesthood, so I understood the chaotic situation in the world.”

“Well, as everyone knows, the players were defeated, but the boss, who suffered massive damage, was also quiet for a while. Until two years ago. The boss’s movements have been gradually detected since two years ago. It is being done very actively these days. You can tell just by looking at the sky.”

The sky has become very dark recently.

Thanks to this, the number of people coming to the temple to relieve their anxiety has increased.

Even if it can be cured temporarily, anxiety is a mental illness.

Complete healing was impossible.

I have no choice but to overcome it myself.

It was then.

The Queen said, hitting the round table hard.

“Revelation from the Goddess this time! I heard it came down! Please let me meet that savior too! Because only he can protect this world!”

The high priest thought that the Queen’s words were a good thing.

“I also happened to want to see the savior. Let’s watch it with me.”

“Thank you. Minister.”

“Then..”

“I will go. Because I guided the savior.”

Lee Ji-ah stood up and quickly walked out of the conference room.

If you stay in the same room as the queen any longer, you might get angry.
