“Yerina…!”

Quad deuk!

An ice pick that shoots up into the sky, making a creepy sound.

Jill shivered as the cold spread, threatening to cover the entire world with ice.

I believed it would be okay for the time being.

Yerina exploded.

Her madness, which was both her talent and her curse, had begun to run rampant.

Was there a foreshadowing of that?

no. There was none.

Jill could definitely conclude that.

Yerina has already mastered the mind technique.

Now, I have reached the point where I can use my mind without rest even while I am sleeping or fainting.

Yerina’s strong mental state was shaken?

For what reason?

“Who dares…? How…?”

I couldn’t understand it.

Who on earth could throw a stone into the calm lake of that superman?

Would it be possible for me?

Jill asked herself that question and immediately shook her head.

It was impossible.

Even if Jill brought up Eugene’s story and talked about her memories with him, Yerina wouldn’t even blink.

Yerina was that kind of person.

The more it hurts, the more insensitive it becomes.

The more it gets hurt, the stronger it becomes.

After losing Eugene, Yerina literally became a superhuman that no one could understand or approach.

It was the same in terms of force.

The same was true in terms of the charisma that led the coalition.

It wasn’t like he simply suppressed Yerina.

You broke my mentality and caused me to run away…?

It was literally impossible.

To exaggerate a bit, the current Yerina was a being that could not be shaken even by a transcendent person equivalent to a god.

If there is someone who can move Yerina’s heart, it is definitely…

“uh?”

Jill’s eyes wavered.

A ridiculous possibility came to mind.

The only person who can shake up Yerina.

One-of-a-kind, someone I believed I would never see again.

What if it was him?

widely.

Jill’s hand touched the cold, frozen wall of the building.

Inside, there seemed to be a faint vibration.

As if someone is running urgently.

Thump thump thump thump…

.

.

.

Yerina Frost.

A heroine who boasted the highest level of difficulty since she was designed.

And the worst heroine who is destined to give the player hell from the moment she chooses the harem route.

If I had been able to clear this game through the normal route, I wouldn’t have even paid attention to Yerina.

What kind of crazy person would try to take over a harem of a heroine who is quick-witted, strong, obsessed, suspicious, and has no way to put an end to it?

Unless you’re someone like me who can only escape by watching the harem ending…

That’s why I think he became even more emotionless when dealing with Yerina.

I accept everything about Yerina as a game.

I focused only on eliminating any grounds for doubt and gradually increasing the attack rate.

But who knew?

In the process, Yerina falls in love with me.

I think the first thing I did was fall in love with Yerina’s crystal eyes…

“ha······.”

Pasasak. Purseoseok.

I walk through the snow piled up mercilessly.

Constantly heading towards the ice tower that rises as if it touches the sky.

I thought it was close because it looked huge from afar, but oh my god.

No matter how many times I go, there is no end.

If Mijeong wasn’t next to me, I would have frozen to death a long time ago.

‘It seems like something similar to the world inside me…’

It may seem similar in that it is all a cold snowy field, but it is completely different.

The world inside Yerina is based on the real world.

I wasn’t sure at first because everything was covered in snow and frozen.

If you look around, you will see familiar terrain and buildings.

This is none other than the Union headquarters located in the south.

This is the place where I was having a sword fight with Yerina just a moment ago.

The ice tower that rose at exactly that location was further cooling the world, where all life had already frozen to death.

‘Is this the future based on trauma?’

I thought so at first.

I just thought it was a scene that Yerina was vaguely afraid of.

But I noticed it right away.

The fact that this is not just a world of imagination.

This was quite possible.

Yerina’s madness runs wild and has no end.

If the entity that can stop it disappears, that’s enough.

There were situations where all these conditions were met.

That too 12 times.

‘Did all 12 episodes in which he abandoned Yerina end up like this?’

I just walk away without responsibility.

There was no way to know what happened to the world after that, and I didn’t even try to find out.

But it wasn’t until I saw this creepy scene that I realized it.

This was the final appearance of all the worlds I had abandoned.

And if I cannot recover my existence, this episode is also the future I face.

At this, my fist clenches.

It was finally visible.

Transparent ice tower.

Yerina’s blue fur was slightly visible from inside.

That alone gave strength to my legs.

‘What a stuffy guy.’

This is what I felt every time I saw Yerina.

Although he has a more generous and reckless personality than anyone else.

As a person to person, I often felt that it was more frustrating than Jill or Julia.

The reason why is because Yerina is a coward.

A coward who can’t move forward because he’s afraid of getting hurt.

Numerous memories of ruined relationships became traumas and remained inside her.

I want to be loved, but I don’t want to share my love.

I want to be exclusive, but I don’t want to show affection.

I want it and covet it more than anyone else, but I don’t want it to look desperate.

On the outside, Yerina seemed active and loving, but inside, she was ready to label me a traitor and disappoint me at any time.

I suffered from this cowardly behavior 12 times.

I felt like I wanted to give up.

I constantly wondered if this bitch liked me or if there was a chance she would like me in the future.

But even though I grumbled like that, I never once gave up on Yerina.

At that time, I just dismissed it as ‘obstinate’ and moved on.

At this point, I think I can say this definitively.

I was already in love with Yerina back then.

The more I understand her.

The more I learn about the wounds of this noble wolf.

The more I realized that she, who had no choice but to be alone all the time, actually didn’t want to be alone, the more I fell in love with Yerina.

I wanted to tell Yerina that she was wrong.

I wanted to prove that not all relationships end in disaster.

I wanted to be by Yerina’s side and wipe away her tears.

Even if it was presumptuous, he wanted to tame the wolf that would trample everyone and become a monarch.

All those attempts were shattered.

Now I only have one coin left, but my resolve remains the same.

I can’t let Yerina go.

I can’t suppress my desire to love her.

Now, Yerina has become a big part of me.

Losing Yerina meant losing the history I had built up.

“Yerina.”

Finally reached the ice tower.

When viewed up close, it boasts a huge majesty, almost like a wall.

What I hold in front of him is a shabby, small sword made of will.

Compared to the ice tower that rises like Mount Tai, it looks as bad as a grain of sand.

But before this, my sword gradually becomes stronger and sharper.

Will is added to will.

It seems as if it has been forged endlessly, and even the red color appears.

“Let’s go back.”

Quad deuk!

I plunged my will into the ice tower.

An ice tower that didn’t even move even though I hit it with all my might.

Don’t do it, my will starts running wild inside.

As the ice gradually melted due to the vibrations, water began to flow.

The moment I twisted the sword, cracks appeared throughout the ice tower.

Kwazizig!

An ice tower that begins to collapse with a single small wave.

In an instant, the base sank down.

The ice tower slowly, gradually tilted towards me.

However, Mijeong and I just looked at the falling ice tower.

I had no intention of avoiding it.

Will gathers again at my fingertips, forming the shape of a sword.

Yerina is still in there.

Only that fact gives me a reason to confront it rather than avoid it.

“Steel Blood Storm!”

He moves his frozen body and shoots sword energy into the sky.

As a result, the sword moves into a net-like form and hits the collapsing ice tower directly.

Perhaps because it collapsed and weakened, the ice tower broke apart like ordinary ice and shattered into pieces.

And, from inside, the shape I had been looking for appeared.

Blue fur and white skin.

The ruler of ice was falling, helplessly left to inertia.

My body moved on its own.

Although it is said to have broken up here and there, ice as big as a building is still falling.

I ran through the rain of ice shards and stretched out my hand.

“Gotcha.”

“······!”

So finally.

Yerina came into my arms.

I faced the destroyer who destroyed this world.

Yerina’s empty eyes, as if she had given up on everything in the world, turned towards me, and in an instant, they became clear and regained focus.

“Eugene…? Is that you?”

“Yeah. It’s me.”

“How, how? Oh, no… Why are you here…?”

“Why, why? I came looking for you.”

It seems like I’m still in a daze.

I see you are saying something obvious.

I hugged Yerina’s waist, supported her, and supported the back of her neck.

It seems like the strength is not coming into the body yet.

Meanwhile, my body is freezing by the minute due to the chill radiating from her.

Mi-jeong is already frozen next to her, unable to move, and her eyes are only blurred.

“A dream…? No. It’s not? Is it real? You were alive, Eugene?”

“Of course. I was keeping an eye on you.”

“Then why… Why now… Why did we only come now…?”

Yerina hugs me, sobbing as if trying to suppress her anger.

Those tears are cold.

Yerina’s touch feels like it’s freezing my bones.

“Eugene······.”

“huh.”

“This is it. I saw Eugene’s face, so I’m okay now. Leave it behind.”

“······.”

“I hurt you so much… I made you so cold… I’ll let you go now… Go quickly. Before I freeze you too.”

Yerina forces a smile and caresses my face.

My face freezes from that single stroke.

My muscles stiffened to the point where I couldn’t make any facial expressions.

Even speaking is barely possible if you exert all your strength.

“You saw. What the future holds. How I destroy the world. It’s already out of control. From the moment I opened the door and started loving you… the madness inside me grew and grew until one day it exploded. It was meant to be done.”

“······.”

“Still, I don’t regret it. If I had lived my whole life behind closed doors, I wouldn’t have known about this feeling until the day I died. Even if the end was death, I think I did the right thing in loving you. I dare not be greedy for someone who was born with the fate of not being able to love and not be loved. I ended up doing something like this… Still, I was happy. I enjoyed joy beyond measure. So now, leave me behind, Eugene. You went through a lot of trouble to teach a woman like me what love is… .··.”

Yerina kisses her lips again, shedding tears.

As a result, my face completely freezes and hardens, and magical power flows into me.

Magical power is instantly decomposed into mana.

That mana is converted to magic energy.

I’m ready.

Ready to open the space and return to this world.
