Count Scribe's Tutor

After Sermer's words, the room was silent.

Soon, his story floated in my head. Among them, the unique memorable suggestion was that it would be sent back to the original world.

What if we got an offer like this right after we entered the novel?

Or, if you had not met reality, what would you have done if you had heard this? It must have shaken his heart.

‘But. ’

Not at all now.

To be honest, I didn't shake at all. The reason was simple, because the world was originally not so stupid.

A world where monsters have vanished and peace has been restored.

However, there was nothing left beside Kang Tae Min. Family, brothers, friends, all died in the war against monsters. If only there was money to spend the rest of my life comfortably.

A world with no reason to live, no purpose.

Whereas this place is different. People in novels that I have seen for over 20 years live and move. Moreover, as I taught and raised the protagonist in the story, I also found a reason to live, which I thought was no longer there.

Then, naturally, there was a purpose.

‘You don't have to go back. ’

On second thought, Sermer's proposal turned out to be inferiorly useless.

At the same time, my head turned white and stiff. Then, when he regained his composure, his eyes shivered like a calm lake.

Current recovery rate: 61%

You are out of your mind with a rising recovery rate.

I immediately looked at Sermer. I've already made some decisions, but I wanted to hear some answers before that.

“I have one question. ”

[· · · · · ·?]

“I heard the round was deleted earlier. Why?”

If the end of the story is not reached, the repetition is not deleted even if it is not kept true. It just repeats itself. However, after the round was deleted, of course, a question came up.

Meanwhile, in a sudden question, Ser Mer frowned.

[I'm just curious.]

“Shut up and answer the question. ”

Ferda clears her throat and closes her mouth soon.

He rolled his eyes for a moment. Like you're trying to decide whether or not to answer. However, the time for concern was not long.

Too much interference with the [· · · · · · · · · · · story.]

With a sigh, his mouth opened.

Then Ferda asked with a curious face.

“Excessive interference? ”

[As I said before, our goal is only one. Preventing the story from reaching its end, protecting this world. To this end, we have tried many times.]

Starting with a story I've already heard.

A shocking word came out of his mouth.

[The first attempt was to eliminate the identity holder.]

“ · · · · · ·!? ”

[The first target was a person with a dishonest personality. Unlike the other one, it was before Awakening, so it was easy to kill them. After killing him, the manager intervened and deleted the round itself.]

You killed the holder of the dishonest identity.

In response, Ferda's face distorted like an evil spirit.

[Then the world began to repeat, and here we got an epiphany. Deleting the repetition means that they gave up, so repeating it might give up the story itself someday.]

Whether he knew this or not, Sermer continued his elongation.

[So while the world was repeating, I continued to kill him. Then, once, I got rid of them at a few hours interval. At that moment, all the times we acted as authors were erased without a trace.]

Then Sermer said he had a lead here.

If you minimize the time interval, so you kill them both at the same time, the manager might give up the story itself.

[However, after that, the manager has disqualified us from authorship. And unlike this place, I called the protagonists of a world with already knots and made them the authors.]

It's probably because he thinks Ser Mer's actions are dangerous.

However, this manager's reaction added confidence to Sermer's conjecture.

In other words, to prevent the story from reaching its end, it was right to kill the identity holder at the same time.

At the same time, Ferda realizes that the cycle will be deleted.

The author of the story kills the protagonist himself.

Rrrrgh!

He says he's killed hundreds of times.

As soon as I thought about it, I bit my lips tightly. Heavy enough to bleed.

Ferda struggles to speak in a voice that suppresses anger.

“· · · · · · I thought you said you were the mother of all life? ”

This world isn't just a story.

You said it was a world where there are so many lives.

“Then why are you so cruel only to the practitioner? ”

I already knew the answer.

Sermer's been saying it all along.

The only question Ferda wants to ask is, hundreds of times, what emotions did she not have when she killed him? Because she introduced herself as the mother of all life.

However, the answer returned was not bad.

[It's an act to save countless lives, to save this world.]

An expressionless face.

He insisted with an inspiring voice.

[It doesn't matter if one or two are gone.]

A bland voice drenches the room cold.

At the same time, you hear something snapping in your head.

“Ha, ha, ha. ”

The silly laughter that comes out of your lips.

Yeah, I figured that out for sure. Ferda raises her head silently. Even the hesitation of the words disappeared perfectly.

[That's a determined face.]

Faced with the dry eyes, Sermer looks up at his mouth.

Then, I urged him to answer as urgently as possible.

[There is no time. Let me hear your decision.]

It's urgent. The recovery rate is now over 80 percent.

But Sermer had no intention of giving me the answer he wanted. Rather, I got lucky with a slightly slower tone, as if I was stalling.

“The world I was in was hell. ”

By the time the beast that invaded Earth disappeared.

The number of humankind had halved. You can see how intense the battle with the beast was. Especially in the early days when Kang Tae-min had just stepped foot in the hunter industry, every day was a living hell.

“I had no reason to live, no purpose to live. ”

I accidentally awakened my abilities and was forced into the battlefield.

I have nothing to protect, but I was forced to fight for humanity. So I tried to give up my life at first.

But then, something grabbed him.

“It was just a normal novel. ”

No titles, no content, nothing special.

But somehow, I looked away. After reading it, I was curious about the next part. Then I survived today and hoped for tomorrow.

The novel that I thought was so ordinary changed Kang Tae-min's fate.

“I overcame the toughness of the day by watching the real story. I cheered in my heart for the terrible disaster and the relentless practice of repetitive times. Then I found a reason to live a little. ”

A novel I stumbled upon, the Savior.

Like the title, Kang Tae-min was saved by the real story.

“From the moment I stepped foot in the Hunter industry to the moment I got rid of all monsters and restored peace, it was the only story that held me back. ”

It was not just Kang Tae Min.

Yoo Baek Hyun said that, and Lantern said that. The authors of another round must have thought the same. After shutting up for a moment, Ferda puts what Sermer said in her mouth.

“That was before, right? I could disappear for the world. ”

Sermer is the world's number.

To him, this world must be precious. So for the world's sake, maybe one or two things will go away.

“Actually, I think so too. ”

in that, of course, you prioritize what matters.

Ferda shrugs. And I smiled.

“If it's for real, I don't care what the world looks like. ”

It doesn't matter if the world repeats forever or if it comes to an end.

Because Hunter Kang Tae-min was saved by the story unfolding, not the world of the Savior. Not to mention what's more important.

“If I am truly the Savior, as you say, I will gladly be the Savior of reality. ”

Just like Kang Tae Min was saved by reality.

As soon as I made my decision, I turned the Core Blade on him.

In the face of a second disaster.

On the other hand, Ser Mer, who heard Ferda's answer, was surprisingly unresponsive.

Not surprised or disappointed, just a expressionless face. After a while, he sighed.

[· · · · · · · Also failed this time.]

Sermer's face is then grimaced.

As if he had expected to some extent.

[And so are you, and so is Lara Hamilton. Only the protagonists of the story are insane.]

“Yeah, that's what they used to call me in the world. ”

Ferda grins, revealing her teeth.

Then I checked the system message with my eyes.

Current recovery rate: 95%

The system will be restored shortly.

The hand grips the core blade. I intend to enter the battle as a signal that the system will be restored. The moment there was tension in the body, Sermer suddenly opened his mouth.

[I can't help it. We have to wait for the next round.]

You have a cold smile on your expressionless face.

The moment I saw this, my back was creeped out. Ferda squirms her eyebrows and doesn't look away from him. And immediately, he said,

[But this is also a failure for you.]

“Excuse me?”

[The stage has already begun to announce the end of this round.]

I'm afraid that's over.

Creepy!

Suddenly, I felt goosebumps all over my body.

It wasn't because of fear or fear. The unparalleled sinisterness is due to the snake's constriction.

Shortly thereafter, Ferda realizes the cause of her misfortune.

“ · · · · · ·! ”

The dazzling power beyond the Morco backwriting.

This was definitely divine power. Powerful beyond belief.

As Ferda's face grows distorted, he mutters.

[Looks like another identity holder has arrived.]

Cardinal Anonymous.

As soon as I found out he was nearby, my heart started beating fast. Blood runs hot all over you, and your instincts continue to warn you.

Then my eyes opened wide.

“No way. ”

Suddenly, something struck my mind. It was a very small question that had been wandering around in my head ever since I confirmed the existence of Sermer.

His goal is to meet Ferda and convince him.

Then, out of all the many and many parts of the kingdom, why did he come to Morco? If it was meant to meet Ferda, I would have come to Earl Akdue.

And now, Ferda has found the answer to this question.

“Why are you here? · · · · · · ·! ”

[Yes, to draw in those who hold divine stature.]

Sermer wedges his guess.

Soon, Ferda opened her eyes.

This was his plan from the start. Regardless of whether Ferda accepts his request or not, he was trying to get you to meet the cardinal.

Of course, my instincts warned me about insurance.

But insurance is always insurance. It didn't work.

“In the bridge!”

That's why I shouted in a hurry.

It triggered a path that was bitten at night, and it was headed for the realm.

Strangely, however, the bridge did not answer the call. No, I don't think my voice reached the bridge in the first place. Seeing Sermer's strange expression, he must be up to something.

And this wasn't all he was prepared for.

That's so gross!

Sounds like iron is being pulled to the ground.

Subsequently, strange shaped crystals protruded out one by one.

[You foolish creature.]

[For making the wrong decision.]

[I'll let you pay now.]

Crystals and debris appear to surround the area.

It wouldn't matter if there were debris, but the number of crystals was not small. Above all, there was the second disaster, even to Sermer, the world's number. I was sure I wouldn't let you go easily.

Sermer opens his mouth as soon as the siege forms.

[I hope the author of the next round is a wise one.]

One final sentence that sounds like a death sentence.

A myriad of enemies have attacked Ferda.
