“…”

The inn fell into silence.

Not a pleasant silence mixed with anticipation and excitement.

A stillness closer to fear and confusion.

Why?

Because four people claiming to be ‘Scar’ had appeared.

And judging from the situation, the black rat lying comfortably on the table is also ‘Scar.’

Four people and one creature.

The Magic Tower magician Malachi tore at his hair.

“Crazy!”

He knew it from the moment the two Magic Tower elders decided to analyze the magical artifact in a hurry.

Most magical artifacts have a clear origin.

The labyrinth’s stratum. To be more precise, you can obtain magical artifacts from treasure chests, monsters, or mysteries.

But the magical artifact they obtained this time was different.

A compass that flowed from the blood of an Outer God.

Considering its unusual origin, it was right to invest a long time to analyze the magical artifact obtained this time.

But the two Magic Tower elders, in their haste, quickly proceeded with the magical artifact analysis procedure.

In the end, the research conducted under hasty judgment gave birth to a terrible disaster.

Malachi realized that his breathing was becoming increasingly rapid.

His head went blank, and his vision blurred.

“Hu…Huk!!! Hoooook!!! Di, disaster x5!!!”

With those words.

Malachi fainted and collapsed.

“…”

People’s gazes lingered on Malachi before immediately turning to the Scars.

The black-haired woman grumbled.

“Are you talking about us? How rude.”

Each time her black ponytail swayed, her large breasts, protruding over her black shirt, jiggled.

The eyes of the inn’s men were fixed on the black-haired woman’s chest.

Gulp.

As someone swallowed hard, Yu-shin Jung’s eyes flashed.

“…”

The inn men who received Yu-shin Jung’s gaze cleared their throats and averted their eyes.

“Ahem!”

“Er… ahem!!!”

Yu-shin Jung shook his head and glared at Magic Tower Elder Matthias.

“Matthias, what the hell is this?”

“I, I’m sorry!”

Matthias immediately bowed. Not only that, but Radamant also prostrated himself, his head touching the ground.

Yu-shin Jung growled.

“You said it was a dimensional transfer magical artifact?!”

The eyes of the inn’s people widened like saucers. Especially Mi-on, who widened her narrow eyes enough to show her pupils.

Yu-shin Jung noticed Mi-on’s gaze.

‘Crap.’

Mi-on already knows about my origins.

If it’s the smart Mi-on, she’ll figure out my intentions in an instant.

I can’t afford to be misunderstood any further here.

‘Get a grip!’

Yu-shin Jung waved his hand.

“I’ll end the banquet here. Each clan leader, return first. I’ll let you know later when I’ve figured out the situation.”

“Yes.”

The people left the inn with puzzled expressions.

However, the women did not leave.

Karin, Mi-on, Cian, and Vivian were blankly watching the ‘Scars.’

Especially Lynn, who was perched on Karin’s shoulder.

Ingrid’s stiffened familiar was moving only its head, looking back and forth between the middle-aged Scar and the black rat Scar.

But.

The ‘Scars’ paid no attention to the women’s gazes, staring only at Yu-shin Jung.

Eyes that quickly grasped the situation and demanded an explanation. Something intimate yet alien.

Yu-shin Jung slowly approached the ‘Scars.’

There are three possibilities.

Multiverse.

That is, himself existing in multiple dimensions.

Or it could be his potential future.

The last case is the Outer God’s mischief.

There was also the possibility of a changeling’s henchman in his guise.

It’s no surprise since it’s a magical artifact from the Outer God of Change.

‘I gave that Outer God a good hit, so he must have a grudge.’

I need the Magic Tower’s help to understand it in more detail.

Yu-shin Jung stopped thinking around there and looked at the women.

“Could you excuse us for a moment?”

Karin, Mi-on, Cian, and Vivian all nodded. Except for Mi-on, they seemed to agree easily because they had no idea what was going on.

Yu-shin Jung sent out all the women, the Magic Tower elders, and the fainted Malachi.

“…”

Yu-shin Jung and the ‘Scars’ remained in the inn.

The black-haired woman flicked the hilt of her single-edged sword with her finger.

Tap, tap.

“Now, how about giving us some explanations?”

Soon, the tail of the wolf beastkin began to stand up stealthily.

The middle-aged man with the greatsword on his back smiled as he swept back his hair.

“Hmm. I see. This requires explanation.”

“…”

The black rat and the guy in the robe stood silently, staring blankly.

‘This is insane!’

Yu-shin Jung instinctively felt threatened and stepped back.

“H, hey, everyone calm down.”

The black-haired woman’s eyes flashed.

“Want to hear my thoughts?”

“…”

“I think someone is using a hallucination engraving to mess with me. If I kill all the ‘me’ here, wouldn’t I be able to return to normal? What do you all think?”

As soon as the black-haired woman finished speaking, the atmosphere became even more grim.

Yu-shin Jung’s mind flashed.

‘Engraving.’

“Do you all know the Labyrinth City?”

Everyone nodded at Yu-shin Jung’s question.

The black-haired woman stepped forward and opened her mouth.

“Of course. Isn’t this the central district of the Labyrinth City?”

Yu-shin Jung shook his head.

“No. This is the southern district.”

The black-haired woman tilted her head.

“That’s strange, isn’t it? There’s no way there would be such a flashy inn in the southern district?”

The robed guy, who had been silent for a long time, opened his mouth.

“I think that guy is right.”

The black-haired woman frowned.

“Why?”

“Look at the attire of the people who came to the inn. They didn’t look very wealthy. The food is also simple. This is definitely the southern district. I don’t think it’s the inn street… Or maybe it’s just a hallucination in my head. If I kill you all, as you said, I might wake up from this absurd dream.”

“…”

Yu-shin Jung frowned.

‘Why does everyone keep talking about killing? Is this me?’

Doesn’t seem like me.

Yu-shin Jung calmly waved his hand.

“Calm down.”

The middle-aged man’s smile deepened slightly.

“Looking at the situation, it seems that the handsome Scar called us here. If the current situation itself isn’t a nightmare, isn’t this the second transfer? Being suddenly thrown into another world again. I want to tell you that I feel really dirty.”

The wolf beastkin sniffed.

“But the smells are all similar? My prediction is that you are all ‘me’ from the multiverse.”

The black-haired woman scratched her head.

“Isn’t this something that comes out in movies? It doesn’t make sense?”

“But it’s already happened. It’s right to think about a response.”

The ‘Scars’ turned their heads and looked at Yu-shin Jung.

“So, what’s the reason for calling us here?”

At the middle-aged man’s question, Yu-shin Jung slowly explained.

“Well, what happened was…”

He defeated the Outer God by borrowing the power of the empire’s hero and picked up the magical artifact.

The Magic Tower concluded that it was a dimensional transfer magical artifact as a result of interpreting the magical artifact.

‘It’s wrong though.’

The robed guy stroked his chin.

“A magical artifact that works automatically if you imagine the place you should be? I think the interpretation is wrong? Besides, it was summoning, not moving. The work is clumsy. Is that really the Labyrinth Magic Tower I know?”

Yu-shin Jung looked at the robed guy.

He looked similar to himself but different.

He was a little thinner, his eyes were red, and he was exuding an eerie aura.

‘Besides, this much magic.’

He had more magic than himself, who had leveled up by eating elixirs that increased magic.

In fact.

The ‘me’ gathered here all seemed to have something going on.

They were talking normally, but they were thoroughly hiding information about themselves.

They were releasing the strength in their bodies so that they could use swords or abilities at any time if things went wrong.

How did he know?

‘Because he’s the same Yu-shin Jung.’

Yu-shin Jung also subtly circulated his magic.

It’s a funny thing to say.

It was difficult to be careless against ‘me,’ and it was even harder to guess their deep intentions.

Even if he didn’t know their intentions, he knew one thing.

‘These guys.’

It’s like having fish bones stuck in their throats? They’re really difficult to deal with.

Somehow, he knew why the guys in the eastern district hated him so much.

Yu-shin Jung once again calmly opened his mouth.

“Calm down.”

“I’m standing here calmly enough.”

“Mind your own business.”

“Krrr!”

“…”

“Squeak.”

They weren’t calming down at all.

Rather, a suffocating tension was building up.

‘Damn. Where’s my sword?’

He could respond with Sacred Weapon by using magic, but he couldn’t use magic rashly because of the busty woman in front of him.

She wouldn’t be holding that single-edged sword just for show.

Besides, there was also the wizard guy next to him, spreading an eerie gaze.

‘There was a dagger under the counter.’

As Yu-shin Jung’s eyes subtly turned towards the counter.

The busty woman grabbed the hilt of her sword.

Click.

“Look at that guy’s eyes turning. He’s hiding a weapon under the counter, right?”

A drop of cold sweat ran down Yu-shin Jung’s forehead.

That busty woman, her senses are like a ghost.

“Ah, no?”

“That’s right. I’m you. You’re me. I can read your mind, Yu-shin. Don’t do anything useless.”

The other ‘Scars’ nodded as if they agreed.

At that moment.

Suddenly, the wolf guy’s head snapped around.

“Krrr! Stop it, wizard.”

The robed guy shrugged his shoulders.

“I didn’t do anything?”

“A strange scent started coming from your body. Stop it right now.”

Everyone’s gaze turned to the robed guy.

The robed guy smiled and waved one hand.

“I was just thinking of casting a few ‘defense’ spells because the situation was getting a little strange. That’s all.”

Yu-shin Jung looked at the robed guy.

It was a lie.

A look of trying to put the opponent off guard with a clumsy smile and then stabbing them in the back.

‘The best defense is offense. This is dizzying.’

Yu-shin Jung glared at the robed guy.

“Don’t do it. I warned you.”

The robed guy tilted his head.

“Do I have to stop if you tell me not to? What are you? You pathetic bastard.”

A vein popped out on Yu-shin Jung’s forehead.

‘This guy?’

“Robe guy, you’re the ugliest one here. Know your place and live humbly.”

At Yu-shin Jung’s retort, the robed guy put his finger to his head and spun it around.

“Tsk. You’ve also become delirious with madness. Look in the mirror. You’re the ugliest one. You have to admit what you have to admit.”

However.

The other ‘Scars’ shook their heads with indifferent expressions.

The middle-aged Scar pointed to the robed guy.

“Wizard, I think you’re the ugliest one here?”

“That’s right.”

“Correct. Krrr.”

“Squeak.”

The robed guy let out a hollow breath and took a stance.

His eyes turning even redder.

“Hehe. Now I understand. You guys are hallucinations created by my madness.”

The busty woman crossed her arms again as if she was dumbfounded.

“Wizard, I was saying the right thing, but you’re treating me like a crazy person? You’re so shameless. You should get some conscience.”

“It must be nice to have a big conscience pocket.”

The busty woman and the robed guy started bickering.

Yu-shin Jung stroked his forehead.

‘Ah. I’m going crazy.’

As the conversation progressed, different personalities were emerging little by little.

This was the first time he had ever been so dizzy.

To witness a multiverse grand mess in his life.

It’s a joke he can’t laugh at.

Yu-shin Jung raised his hand to calm the ‘Scars.’

If it continued like this, there would be a bloody fight where they killed each other. He had to stop it.

“Everyone, listen. I really just want to say one thing.”

“Say it, you gigolo-like Yu-shin.”

“Hee. Now that I hear it, it’s true?”

“Krrr!!! That’s right! There’s the scent of several women on this guy!”

“Squeak.”

He endured each and every word of those guys that scratched at his nerves.

‘A scheme to get information by scratching my temper.’

He’s getting some serious mirror therapy today.

Yu-shin Jung, whose face had turned bluish from holding back his anger, barely opened his mouth.

“I’m sorry. It’s my fault.”

“…”

The ‘Scars’ quietly looked at Yu-shin Jung.

The busty woman tilted her head.

“Just with words?”

“Hoo. Stay as long as you want. I’ve saved up quite a bit of money, so tell me if you need anything. I’ll consult with the Magic Tower and send you back to where you were as quickly as possible.”

Yu-shin Jung exchanged glances with the ‘Scars’ and opened his mouth.

“Believe me.”

I will definitely send you back to your original dimension.

“Yeah, right.”

“Look at that guy’s eyes. Isn’t he going to send us all to hell like that?”

“Krrr!”

“Squeak.”

Yu-shin Jung grabbed his dizzy head.

Malachi was right.

‘Disaster x5!’
