“The one I killed was the owner who was swept away when a dungeon closed.”
“.......”
That dungeon was a place that Tesilid knew well. -... ... What kind of place was it?
- In a rocky wasteland where lightning struck constantly, there was a huge hole. Like... ... .
- Like a bottomless pit.
- Oh, yes, like a bottomless pit. That was it. He was the owner of that dungeon.
The title of owner is not always a good thing. The place he was in was a place that dragged the owner’s status down to the bottomless abyss.
That place was a prison. And there was a separate name for the owner of the prison.
A criminal.
He was a criminal who ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) had been sentenced to thirty-one life sentences.
And now, thanks to her salvation, he had been released after seventeen times.
His savior who killed him said.
“Save point.”
“.......”
“If you think about it, the truth was right before your eyes. It was meant for the multi-regressor in the first place. The only one who can become the owner of that artifact in this world is.......”
“.......”
“You’re the only one.”
The method for calculating the 117th time was simple.
She added the number of times she used the save point to her 100th life, and added the one timeline she created by killing him.
“.......”
“.......”
There was no word from Tesilid. If so, would her expression answer the question instead?
However, because of the thick water barrier, her vision was not functioning properly at the moment.
“Tesilid.”
She called him, barely swallowing something that was hotly rising in her throat.
She knew the end of the original 100th time.
Reid, who had fallen into the abyss with a body that could neither live nor die, and was sentenced to life imprisonment.
A sinner who had no choice but to wait for the next round, for whom death was the only salvation.
But that wasn’t all. The world where Part 3 had ended had given him even greater tragedy and pain.
A voice that had been soaked in water rang out.
“So you... from the 100th to the 116th round... repeated that punishment seventeen times...?”
“.......”
“Forcing yourself to drink the water of the well of eternal life...?”
“.......”
“How much did you pay for your sins...?”
“.......”
Tesilid opened and closed his lips several times. However, he soon realized that it was an unnecessary effort.
At this moment, silence would be the most certain affirmation.
When the sinner could not raise his head and lowered his gaze to the floor.
Aylet’s words were not over yet.
“Then I.......”
“.......”
“How late is it?”
“.......”
“How late did I come to see you?”
“.......”
He couldn’t help but realize that it was his own guilt for not saving him earlier.
Only then did Tesilid gather his courage and speak up.
“Aren’t I terrible?”
“.......”
“Even though I was once a lead?”
The water curtain that had covered the greenery broke in a flash.
The eyes that met his gaze were looking at him as if they were saying something ridiculous.
“Terrible. Why you.”
“.......”
“The world is more terrible.”
“.......”
“How could you do that to me? How could you do such a terrible thing to me? This world shouldn’t be like that to you. You shouldn’t be treated like that.......”
“.......”
It was from then that his memoirs about his life began to flow out through her mouth.
“How hard you tried. How hard you endured. How much you sacrificed for the people. You saved the world ten times. Just once. Just once you took the wrong path....... You, no, I.......”
“.......”
“I know all about that.......”
Tesilid realized anew.
He was not alone.
Every time he regressed, the world would reset except for him.
While he carried his memories alone and repeated the same life, he almost went crazy in the deception of the world and his own loneliness.
But now, there was someone who understood everything about him.
“Even if the whole world loved you, it wouldn’t be enough......!”
It was the moment she raised her voice. He couldn’t hold back and stretched out both arms.
He embraced her in his arms, greedily, as if he was impulsive. And he whispered.
“You just need to know.”
“.......”
“You just have to show compassion as much as the entire world does.”
“That’s all.......”
“It’s not all.”
The denial was firm.
All, how could that be?
She was the last remaining good and hope for him... ... .
“You are my world. If you show compassion, my entire world will show compassion.”
“.......”
“So if you love me.......”
“.......”
“If you love me.”
The words could not come out of his throat. Only his trembling breath rang in his ears for a long time.
Ailet gently cupped the cheek of the sinner who dared not beg for love.
Looking at his face that was looking straight at me, she met his eyes and kissed him.
“The entire world will love you.”
“.......”
It was comfort, confession, and the will to make it happen.
He answered with all his might.
He barely managed to suppress his distorted expression as if he was about to cry, and smiled.
The rain that had been pouring down as if it would wash away all the sins of the world gradually slowed down.
In the gentle sound of the rain again, the two of them narrowed the distance between them while fixing their gazes.
A feeling of heat began to mix with the refreshing air of the rainy autumn night. ✠ Is it possible to watch the rain this much fun?
The night that had deepened in an instant was amazing. It was clear that the presence of the person next to me greatly distorted the sense of time.
Well, it seemed possible because he was a handsome man with an atmosphere that made it seem like time was passing slowly around him.
“Drink, kid.”
“Thank you.”
Tesilid and I were still in the chapel.
Tesilid handed me a mug filled with a warm drink as I sat on the long chapel chair. The warmth held in my palms felt good.
I exhaled a small breath and said.
“It’s going to be cold tomorrow because it’s raining.”
“Yeah, it’s going to be winter soon.” [‘World-building Word Spirit’ boasts that the Word Spirit’s uniform is definitely cold-proof.]
[‘Soul-judging Scales’ looks forward to the new uniform of the world’s most handsome man.] Tesilid’s sea-blue eyes picture the near future.
“If it doesn’t stop like this and it snows until dawn, it might.”
“Then that will be the first snow of the year.”
“Yes.”
His expression became hazy. The reason was probably because it was the first snow he had seen in thousands of years.
‘It would be nice to see it together... ... .’
That was when [<System> ‘World-building Word Spirit’ consumes a small amount of divinity and probability to make it snow!] The temperature suddenly dropped and large sleet began to fall heavily.
“Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?!”
I blinked at the absurd phenomenon and came to my senses after a long time.
“Unryeong-nim!” [‘Unryeong that builds the world’ says that it was just because it was time for the first snow to fall, and that it wasn’t necessarily for you.] “I know that, but if you suddenly do this......”
“Oh, is it a gift from God? It’s really beautiful.”
“......Terry likes it. Thank you.”
“I also thank you.”
Tesilid greeted me politely and took out a blanket and put it over my shoulders.
Honestly, it wasn’t that cold thanks to the uniform that had good insulation, but I accepted it silently because I liked his kindness.
I raised my right arm and lifted a corner of the blanket.
“Do you want to come in too?”
“.......”
Tesilid seemed to freeze for a moment, but he just smiled silently.
At that moment, I realized that there are smiles of rejection in the world. [‘The Scales of Justice of Souls’ grinned happily, saying that it was the rejection he had expected.] “Anyway, kid.”
“Huh?”
“It’s too bright.”
“Ouch!”
My halo, which had reacted to the powerful divinity due to the miracle that the spirit had given, lit up again.
I hurriedly turned off the glittering Art Nouveau-patterned halo.
I blushed and quietly confessed.
“This seems too much, Unryeong-nim.......” [“Unryeong-nim that builds the world” says that you will be able to adjust it once you get used to it.]
[“Creative Economy Manager” tells you that it is relatively tame for a legendary effect.]
[“Eyes that Watch Over All Chaos” urges you to refund and buy the “Scattered Lilies Effect.”]
[“Scales that Judge Souls” strongly insists that the “Rose of Temptation Effect” would suit you better.]
[“Unryeong-nim that builds the world” cannot hold back the overflowing divinity and puts it all in the shopping cart.] Now that I think about it, I think I heard somewhere that the currency used by gods in the divine realm is divinity.
Unryeong-nim is currently overflowing with divinity thanks to the proclamation of the Unryeong Church.
I should work harder and make Unryeong-nim a divinity rich person.
While I was sipping tea and thinking, the conversation with Tesilid stopped for a moment.
He glanced out the corner of his eye and saw the pure white crystals outside the window.
This silence wasn’t particularly uncomfortable, but I wanted to hear his voice.
Is there anything we can talk about? [‘Libra, the Judge of Souls’ suggests discussing plans for children.] ‘Oh, please! Libra.’ [‘Libra, the Judge of Souls’ laughs and then stops.] Let’s not react. He’s playing a mean prank because he finds my reaction funny.
It was when I was calming down and swallowing a sigh.
“Ai.”
He spoke without me having to speak first.
The handsome man who was leisurely admiring the first snow turned his face toward me.
With his usual gentle expression and voice, he brought up a new topic.
“What are you going to do with Reed?”
“.......”
Special benefits for ice drinkers
