I reached the bottom.

Common sense tells us that it should have landed on the surface of the water, but now we can see the destroyed main building of the Cheonmasingyo Church.

I look up and see a hole in the flimsy structure that has stopped collapsing. I look down again and look around.

A place with cold air and a faint, acrid smell of coal.

This is the place where Cheonma died.

Maybe I’ll be able to see the Heavenly Horse.

The place was immediately recognizable, so I walked towards it.

But there was no Cheonma there. There was just a black horizontal line drawn on the ruins behind where the corpse had been.

I look around and there’s nothing plausible.

There’s a white castle in the distance, and on the other side of it there’s a house.

I decided to take a look around this strange place, but the rubble of the building blocked the way, as if it were telling me I couldn’t get there. I tried to reach up, but I couldn’t grab onto the rubble.

I just feel the wall.

That means you can’t go.

In that case, we should head to the top.

I took a step forward. Maybe if I kept going, I would come across the house I had in the second world.

And then we walk along a place that is strangely organized like a road.

Tap tap tap

The difference is huge when I compare my gait directly to the places I remember. It takes a very long time like this.

I walked, feeling the difference from when it was the first snow.

And then there’s a door that’s just there. There’s clearly a cliff behind the door. But when you open the door, a cylindrical space with a faint yellow light flowing through it appears.

This is the entrance to Kunlun.

A narrow passage floating in the middle. I tried to follow it and go inside, but stopped once. Then I looked back. I saw a door leading to another place in the distance. And the other side was all blocked.

It suddenly occurred to me that I would never see Soo here.

indeed.

okay.

I take another step. If I go through the door like this, Kunlun should appear, but this space has never been normal before.

And at the end of the passage, instead of the original Kunlun interior space, there is a small door.

When you open it and go in, a truly amazing sight unfolds before your eyes.

There’s something in the air, a distorted sphere-shaped thing, and the sky is full of things that are sucked into it and then stop.

It’s frozen as if a single moment of the last moment I spent with the Primordial Heavenly Lord was cut off.

I look around to see if anyone else is coming out here. Considering that Hyukkesuni has appeared twice, it is possible that Wonshicheonjon will appear again.

But he didn’t show up.

Instead, I found a girl sitting in a pavilion that had stopped in its tracks a little way from the sphere.

A tall woman with purple hair, twice my current size. I have never actually seen her before. Because I used her body until the very end.

It’s none other than Chosul.

I headed that way.

“Hello.”

“Yes, hello.”

It’s strangely similar to the way I speak. The pitch is similar. Or is this me and not Chosul?

As I was thinking that, I looked at her, and she was also staring blankly at me, so I thought I wouldn’t get an answer if I kept silent, so I pointed to the castle in the distance.

“I’m trying to go there, do you know the way?”

Then she stood up from her seat.

And I walked into the space where the light was distorted. And I grabbed the air and lifted it up. There was a door that was locked from the inside, as if it was covered with a painted cloth and then lifted.

Cho-seol looked at me and put her hand between her breasts and took it out. The hand that came out between her breasts was holding a key.

Cho-seol came towards me holding the key, stretched out her arm, grabbed my arm, brought it in front of her, placed the key on her palm, and gently pushed my finger.

I had the keys in my hand.

Most people I meet here are strange. They act like I don’t know them. There’s no light or warmth. It’s most likely just an illusion.

Daegon and Wonshicheonjon are a bit unstable, but since they are so transcendent, it might be different.

Maybe the memory is too huge.

As I was thinking that, Cho-seol suddenly hugged me with her wide arms.

There was no warmth at all, only coldness, but the soft feeling of her chest clung to me and then fell away.

After that, Cho-seol tapped my shoulder with her hand and without looking back again, she passed me and disappeared somewhere.

As soon as I crossed the wall that I couldn’t go through, it disappeared as if it had never existed in the first place.

I looked at the key and there was a word engraved on it. The word written on it was warmth.

There are three keys now. One is the word erased. One is anger. The other is warmth.

First, should we push them in order?

The key with the word erased won’t fit into the hole. It seems like the key isn’t meant for it, even though there is clearly room for it to fit.

So I pushed my anger away.

Then it snaps open right away. I can’t get the key out again. It’s completely stuck in the lock, as if it was stuck from the start.

Shouldn’t you normally use the key you get here to get through? And when I first got the key from Tisha, I think she said it was needed to get over some kind of wall, but the key that said “Despair” wasn’t a wall, it was a key to start the train.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s a fantasy and there are no rules, or if I did something wrong, but if you walk to where you can go, you’ll know.

I opened the door and went inside.

Inside is the platform you first arrived at.

However, the direction of the railroad is different. The tracks that you came across in the first world are gone, and tracks that lead into a tunnel in the cliff are now in place.

I climbed onto the steam train again.

This time, there’s no one to greet me. I guess I’ll have to open the door, go into the engine room, and turn the key again.

By the way, how about the guest room? I couldn’t think of going because Eunjae was blocking it earlier.

I grabbed the door to the guest room and turned it, but it wouldn’t budge. I looked to see if it would turn if I put the key in, but there was no keyhole.

Is it just an uninteractable object?

Reluctantly, I opened the door to the engine room.

Nothing has changed here. It’s the same as before.

The only difference is that the key that should have been inserted is gone, and the lock is locked again.

I try to push the key that has no name on it, but it’s stuck. It was the warm key that went in.

There was a funny sound of a car starting up, and the train started moving again.

I still don’t feel any inertia at all. I go straight into the cave, and shortly after, the light comes on.

And the place where the locomotive stopped was inside the collapsed temple.

This is the place I was summoned to.

There is an unnatural platform and a steam locomotive in a place where there used to be only a cylindrical wall. It looks like a steam locomotive because it is loaded with coal. However, it does not emit any steam, let alone sound, so I am not sure if it is really a steam locomotive.

Maybe it’s because I don’t remember anyone riding a steam locomotive. If it’s a dream world, I can’t let go of something I don’t know.

When the train came to a complete stop, I went into the compartment with the door leading down to the platform. I grabbed it just in case and opened it, and it opened.

I see an empty room. There are just a bunch of chairs. I look around to see if there is anything inside, but there is nothing. And when I open the back door, I see a railroad track where a train passed.

There’s nothing to see.

I got off the train. When I got outside, there was sunlight streaming in through a round hole in the ceiling, and I could see a huge shadow in between.

A fish about 7.5 meters tall is looking down at me. Then it reaches out and puts its hand down in front of me.

A face that doesn’t think about anything by Eoin’s standards. But it looks like Tara has some intention. So I climbed onto the palm of his hand, and Eoin lifted me up.

Now that I think about it, Victoria was the one who lifted me up so I could get out. When I let go of her hand, instead of looking at me, Eoin sat down and curled up like a baby, holding his knees.

I leave him behind and walk forward.

Originally, you had to go down the hill and walk along the coast for a while before you could see the port, but as soon as you go down the hill, you can see the port. It’s also a strangely compressed port. There’s only a place to board a boat.

I guess that means wait for the boat.

So I’m standing at the harbor waiting for a boat, and a boat approaches me, and it’s going straight ahead.

It originally came from the side, but as I was watching it, thinking it was amazing, the ship came straight towards me without slowing down.

Is it okay to just leave it like this?

The bow of the ship slammed into the platform where I was standing. But instead of hitting me, the ship itself was crushed and crushed, and a door inside the ship appeared in front of me.

Who is the director?

The door was warped as it was crumpled, but it opened without a problem when I pulled on it.

I was thinking of going to Bern City, but surprisingly, the palace appeared. And I could see the room where Aurora was lying.

And actually, Aurora is lying on the large bed inside.

Now Aurora wakes up and says something.

With that thought in mind, I approached Aurora.

But Aurora doesn’t wake up. Even if I shake it just in case, it doesn’t wake up. It’s breathing, but like everyone else I’ve seen inside, it has no light or warmth.

Look around you.

Up until now, all the doors have been facing the castle. If you can’t see the castle, that means this is the castle. So I looked out the window.

I looked outside the window and saw a castle in the distance.

And as always, there’s a door. I go up to it and open it, and it opens easily.

I took a look at the Aurora and went inside.

This is Victoria’s bedroom. Victoria is sleeping soundly on the bed like Aurora. The blanket has flown far away, and the surroundings are messy.

I absentmindedly cleaned up the surroundings and covered her with a blanket.

The castle we’ve seen so far is visible through the window. So we should go this way.

When I open the window and go out, I see not the interior of the Royal Academy that I had seen a moment ago, but a high wall. It is not the wall of this country. Rather, it is a strangely black wall.

A castle wall with no three-dimensionality at all, as if painted with the blackest paint.

And beyond the walls you can see a white castle.

In front of that wall.

A girl stands there, holding a long skull staff, smiling as if she is crying.

Hukkeshni.

She stands with her back to the wall and glares at me.
