Chapter Index

    The event that was currently in progress has ended.

    By filling in the four events, the episode was also completed. The message was clearly displayed before my eyes.

    however.

    My head hurts like crazy right now.

    This is just a game.

    It is simply a game created by the creator using Almantool, and it is a game with a special condition that a prize is awarded upon clearing the game.

    Yeah, it’s a game after all.

    Even if there is a story, it is a game that has nothing to do with me.

    The game isn’t aimed at any specific player either.

    however.

    This… seems like it’s aimed at me…

    【Your death brought despair to someone. This despair spread like an epidemic and laid that person’s soul here.】

    “Fuck. That can’t be happening!”

    -Bam! Thud.

    Me, dead?

    Don’t talk nonsense.

    That damn family disappeared just as the authors wanted, and they paid off all the money they had saved up as child support, leaving no room for them to hold on.

    I just came out of that house.

    But, did you die so meaninglessly? Right after you gained the freedom you so desperately wanted?

    “Don’t be ridiculous. I was just playing a game. There was no reason to lose!!”

    How can you accept something like that?

    I can’t accept it. I can’t believe it…!

    【 It’s not too late, Kim Min-hyuk. 】

    At that moment, the message below caught my eye.

    The hand that was about to break the wall stopped on its own.

    “Fuck…! Why is this message popping up!”

    Common sense tells you that this script would never appear.

    This line doesn’t seem necessary. No. Rather, it just seems awkward.

    How can you accurately identify and write the name of a single person in Korea?

    Even if I take a step back, no, a hundred steps, and think that they are targeting someone with the same name as me in South Korea…

    The very fact that the name of reality was included was absurd.

    It was such a great irony that only I was shown this message.

    Kim Min-hyuk. Denying that the three letters of my exact name are written as a coincidence…

    “…Fuck it. That kind of stuff. It’s none of my business.”

    Yeah. That kind of stuff. It’s none of my business.

    Well, what I want is to go back to reality.

    What is this game message?

    No need.

    There’s no need to see or listen.

    They’re all just completely unnecessary things.

    I just need to go back alive and well. To where I used to live.

    -Thump!

    “There it is!”

    “Two people found! Bring the doctor and the healer first!”

    Before long, the episode came to an end.

    I got angry. I yelled. I even broke some stuff…

    The feeling of uneasiness did not go away.

    ***

    A mansion shrouded in darkness.

    The sounds of crying and screams of terror erupt from the banquet hall.

    The sound of crashing and the eerie roars of demons can be heard here and there.

    The main hall, which was crowded with people, was a complete mess.

    however.

    At some point, the main hall became quiet.

    “The demons have been cleared out!”

    “What about the other side?!”

    “Nothing is wrong. This is…!”

    The main hall suddenly became quiet.

    This report made us realize that the devil’s attacks have diminished.

    “…Did the vanguard eliminate the source? Thank goodness.”

    “How many minutes, no, how many tens of seconds could I have lasted…”

    “It was dizzying. I was in a situation where I had no idea where to go… Thank goodness.”

    Well, is that really so?

    Harnie laughed quietly.

    ‘Considering the size of this mansion, it would have taken a long time just to search the original gate.’

    Also, if they moved in a group, they would have been noticed by the demons and would have been delayed for a long time.

    It only takes half a day to move forward.

    It took half a day to remove those demons from the dark vision.

    It must have taken at least a month to finally reach the source of the demons’ appearance and destroy them.

    In other words, it is not an advance team.

    In this situation, it was the achievement of the man who moved the source faster than anyone else.

    With the demons no longer appearing, you have time to clean up the damage and regroup.

    Soon after finishing their reorganization, they began to advance, leaving behind a minimal number of troops, and met up with the imperial troops who had been separated from the participants, making the rescue much easier.

    A significant number of rescuers come in alone.

    They gathered in the main hall and slowly began to escape from the mansion.

    “Please wait a moment. It will take some time until we meet, as we have to go through a broken hallway.”

    “The entrance is also blocked. Please follow the order as we must send people down the mansion one by one using magic.”

    The entrance is blocked and the hallway is cut off?

    “By any chance, is Prince Karsane there too?”

    “Yes. I heard you’re on the side of the broken hallway.”

    I knew you were safe, but you?

    It seemed like it would still take some time to meet him.

    Harnier waited for Karcein, slightly delaying his turn.

    How much time has passed like that?

    By the time more than half of the people had escaped from the mansion, there was no one around Harnie.

    Someone wearing a hood starts approaching her.

    “…”

    Harnie swallowed hard.

    There is no Carcein. The protective jewel that protects the body is left to others.

    She knows best that this moment is the most dangerous.

    But, no matter what, there are still guards around.

    In a situation where there are quite a few contestants watching, you are coming to harm someone so clearly and without hiding your feelings?

    ‘This is not the time to be thinking like that.’

    It’s a clear red sign that you’re cornered.

    If he doesn’t even hide his expression, it’s clear that he must have been ordered to do so by someone.

    I didn’t know that there was someone who would burn his own body to be loyal to the Marquis, but I can’t just sit still.

    She stretches out her hand to unleash her magic.

    There were quite a few self-defense magic skills learned for this time.

    “If you don’t want to see the ugly face, you’d better not come any closer.”

    Still, the unfamiliar looking man continued to approach.

    The moment when Harnie, unable to allow the distance to continue to narrow, was about to cast her magic.

    ‘What? Why, why…!’

    The magic I had prepared with great care turned out to be useless.

    While I was in such a state of confusion, a shadow appeared.

    I tried to resist by spraying the spray I had prepared for self-defense, but the man cut me off.

    “You don’t have to do that. I didn’t come here to hurt you.”

    “…Huh?”

    “Harnie Theresia. She was supposed to escape from Marquis Theresia, but now her plans have changed and she has started working under the surface to devour the Marquis, right?”

    “Uh, how did you…”

    -Slurp.

    “…I can tell. It sounds very special to me.”

    The hood covering the face is lowered.

    When the man appeared, Harnie could not help but be shocked.

    “Surely you…”

    In this world, in this empire.

    One who is said to hear the voice of God.

    Because the prophet of Wederos was right before my eyes.

    ***

    The end of the backtracking route is near.

    A collapsed mansion.

    A sudden attack by the demons.

    After hastily turning off the source, the next step was recovery and escape.

    “Prince Karsain. It’s your turn. Please come down.”

    Before I knew it, it was my turn.

    It looks like I’m the only one left after holding my head in thought for a long time.

    “…it helped.”

    “Huh? What is that─”

    -widely!

    “Ah, no… this height…”

    Leaving the article behind in a state of confusion.

    The excitement that had been building up suddenly subsided, and the nobles who were disappointed at the worst possible ending passed by.

    As I was making my way through the crowd like that.

    The owner of this jewel who helped me appeared.

    “Harnie.”

    “Oh my!”

    Harnie looked back at me with a start.

    “Ah… Carcein.”

    Have you ever had deep concerns like mine?

    He seemed very surprised.

    When I held out the jewel, she only then smiled.

    “Your body looks okay?”

    As soon as I heard that, a strange feeling of foreboding came over me again.

    -Is your body feeling okay?

    “Do you know how worried I was… Do you know how much I was worried about you doing something so dangerous again?”

    -Do you know how worried I was about you doing something so dangerous?

    It seems like a strange picture is being added to the feeling of deja vu.

    To her, she sees someone else.

    …Shit.

    In a world where my head is already complicated.

    Why on earth did I see something like this?

    “Carcein? What’s wrong? Your complexion is not good…”

    “I guess I’m just tired. Today… things have turned out like this, so I guess I’ll have to go back. Harnie.”

    “Huh? Oh… That’s true.”

    “I’ll give it to you.”

    I don’t know about other times, but right now I needed time to think.

    ***

    All the time I should have spent with Karcein was gone.

    There was nothing that could be done about things like this. With the demons on the offensive, there was no room to move forward or anything. Harnie could understand that.

    But, apart from this, something else started to bother me.

    “…”

    Even after getting on the carriage.

    Even before getting on the carriage.

    And even when I got off the carriage and waved goodbye to him until the end.

    Harnie couldn’t hide his complicated feelings.

    Karsine’s expression seemed indifferent, but Harnier knew.

    Hiding her expression was something she was used to doing.

    The same goes for suppressing your emotions without expressing them.

    Also, since I had seen Karsene before, I could guess that he had some complicated things going on.

    So I became more upset.

    “Carcein…”

    Karsine, who returns after giving himself up.

    Harnie muttered weakly as he looked at the carriage he was riding in.

    and.

    The voice of the prophet is recalled once again.

    -Carcein Bagrand. Your fiancé will be unusual today.

    -Huh? What is that…

    -Because there’s a secret I’ve been keeping from you. And that’s what’s confusing the guy’s feet today.

    I don’t care about the gossip about Karsine that I hear from others.

    I had been determined to do so since before, and as my feelings for him grew, when I opened my eyes, I decided to ignore him even more.

    However, the opponent is the prophet of Wederos.

    He was a man who knew all sorts of futures, from weather anomalies to predicting the future.

    And Harnier experienced it firsthand.

    In fact, Carcein was in an unusual mood.

    “Is there really a secret you haven’t told me?”

    If that’s the case…

    I am…

    -I will tell you the prophecy that has been given to you, Harnie Teresia.
