Green Skin

“That's enough. ”

Isaac nods, looking at the beautifully crafted staff. I don't know how much energy I've used to make this staff. A staff with everything in it.

“Walson. How's it going? ”

I turn my head and talk to the golem, but the golem can't answer me. But Isaac continues to speak.

“What? Not cool? So does Walson.”

Born of a wizard family, Isaac was a so-called genius. Since childhood, no one has followed magic, and everyone around them has always called Isaac the Great Wizard. Everyone was busy praising Isaac, and Isaac made various items to help them live for the humans who praised him.

In fact, humans and Isaac enjoyed a period of resurrection.

Golems, chimeras, magical soldiers, various armor and items with special abilities enhanced the quality of human life, and various potions made by Isaac were also greatly enjoyed. But peace did not last long.

Shortly after, the magical creatures that were created to help life were transformed into killing weapons that killed enemies in the war, and various armor destroyed people as if they were lying.

‘This is not it. ’

Isaac picks up all the magical creatures and builds himself a tower and doesn't come out.

Nevertheless, the war continued. Isaac's family was defeated in the war, and in the end, the voice of humiliation grew. Witches, monsters, and other adjectives stood before Isaac. Over time, Isaac's Horse Tower has become a place for all the treasures of Zigo. Humans are constantly climbing the tower.

Everyone was just a greedy human face for magical creatures and armor. Isaac did not listen to the human voice. Instead, you strive constantly to protect the tower and try to protect your essence.

until he realized he didn't have much life left.

Isaac was 22 years old at the time.

What was more worrying than his own death was whether or not there was anything in the tower after his death. I wanted to get rid of them all, but they were all like children. There was no way I could reach out.

They wanted to do the right thing, so Isaac made the rules and made the tests.

“Someone will surely come along who will use my children correctly. ”

The reality was different from what I had thought. There were challengers who slapped their colleagues in the back with greedy faces and challengers who could not move forward in fear. There were parties pushed by other humans as scapegoats, and some even complained of emotions. Isaac has seen many humans. But they were all the same man. They were greedy, greedy, and for a purpose, they were human beings who did not obstruct the means and means.

"If I die..."

Isaac is trapped in the tower and is obsessed with his research.

Five years later, the body was much weaker, but it was able to raise the tower higher and complete the magic of leaving a special monument. And Isaac focused on making vessels for the monument.

I've made the tower even more secure and made a number of rules.

“Walson... these are my children. You know what? Hahahaha. No, Walson, you're a friend. ”

It was lonely and I wanted to go out, but I was afraid to go out. He was afraid he might make a mistake. By this time, there were fewer and fewer Humans looking for the Horse Tower, and eventually no one came in.

Isaac was constantly obsessed with his research. It was because he knew that this was all he could hang on to. There was no one I loved, no family, no friends. Locking yourself in the tower was also a sin and an emotion of fear of meeting people.

Over time, Isaac's body grows weaker and weaker.

“You don't have to worry about it. Oakley, you don't have to cry. I'm not dying. You're reborn. ”

“Hahahaha, sad? I told you I'd see you again soon. I will protect this place. I used this staff as a vessel to make a monument... not me, but I'm old. Don't know what you're talking about? You'll find out soon enough. ”

Isaac doesn't even know what the disease is. All I could realize was that death was near. He was an excellent wizard, so he knew about his body. He was 17 years old and his body no longer grew. She's almost 30 years old. However, unlike its appearance, the body's function was gradually degrading over time.

Isaac slowly closes his eyes and remembers why he wants to stay here.

Magical creatures, armor, and items. The mysterious potions will all be destroyed when you die. You don't have to hang from this tower or continue guarding it. Completely liberated from this tower. Isaac nods.

“Walson, a lot of people are dead because of me. ”

Perhaps it is a sin to be trapped here.

“Wouldn't war have happened if I hadn't been born? He's too good. ”

“Maybe getting rid of everything here will be a happy ending...”

Probably would But there was no way I could do that. Because Isaac had nothing left in the world.

I was neither married nor had a child. He did not send his disciples in, nor did he have any acquaintances who remembered him.

The Chimera, the soldiers, the golems, and the weapons here were all that Isaac left in the world. In the memories of others, Isaac will only be remembered as the Grand Wizard. However, these are different.

“Actually, I want to go on an adventure with my friends, just like it says in the book. It'll be fun to eat together, get lost in the maze, and defeat the Demon King. Haha. Right, Walson? Why don't we start now? No, you know we don't have time for this. It's scary to come out now...”

“............................ ”

Oakley, Walson, Shelby and Memphis, of course, did not answer the golems they were named for.

“My friends were just you. What kind of life would I have had if I had been born normal? If you hadn't become a wizard. Right. Then you wouldn't be here. Thank you, Walson. ”

As you feel more and more faint, Isaac chants in his mind. I realized it was time to go. Definitely not dying. You will die, but the monument will continue to live in this dungeon. I was myself, but I wasn't myself. To be precise, I felt like a child, or heir, or child.

But...

“Actually, I don't want to die, Walson. I have so much I want to do. I just want to run and go to a flower game. I want to read more books. I want to study more magic. I want someone to need me... I'm shy... shy... but I want to love, and I want to make love. Of course I'm getting married. ”

“...................................... ”

“I want to hold your hand and kiss you. I want to kiss... (* sobbing *) I'm ashamed... but I want to be in a... a relationship... and I don't want to die, Walson. ”

Of course, I didn't hear an answer.

“Phew... Ha-ha-ha. Of course, that's not why I put the ball into the monument. This might be me, but it's not even me. Someone's gonna get me out of here someday. It could be a woman, but I hope it's Prince Charming. Smart, kind, thoughtful, wise, handsome prince. You will be used in the right place, and this wand will be used in the right way, warrior of justice...”

“....................... ”

“If it's a woman... I hope she's someone I can trust. But... if a warrior appears, what should we call him? Don't you think you're a bit of a maniac? Hahaha...”

Isaac closes his eyes slowly, chanting the spell.

“This child will live happily ever after. I win the Staff... but I'm sure I'll be traveling around the world. I'm going to make a lot of friends, and I'm going to be homeless, and I'm going to start a campfire, and I'm going to listen to music, and I-I might be able to d-love them. Even if it beats the staff! You... you can make shapes, so you can kiss. Blind... sworn kiss! Yeah, I'm gonna put this in there, too. ”

“.............................. ”

“Don't look at me like that. Walson, he's gonna die soon... but he's gonna be okay when he goes, right? ”

Isaac closes his eyes.

“Like a fairy tale princess. I'll be happy. I'll be happy. I'm sure you'll be happy.”

Tears filled my eyes for no reason. It was because it was unfair why he had to be born this way. But it was kind of a mission. It must have meaning to be born. Isaac struggles to smile.

“Let's get up and see. Walson, Oakley, Shelby, Memphis. Tomorrow is the new me. ”

That's how the tower was completed.

Many years passed and the monument Isaac continued to focus on his work. Meanwhile, Isaac thought he might be crazy if he wasn't a monument. It is because I could not meet people after many hours.

As more than a thousand years passed, Isaac gave up counting the days.

When are the guests coming? Are the humans still alive? Could it be that the world is doomed? Or did they make it hard to find the dungeon... I wonder.

I was curious about the outside family, but I couldn't go outside. because it was set up like that. At this point, he grumbled slightly at Isaac, but he remembered the last thing Isaac said.

‘This child will live happily ever after. I win the Staff... but I'm sure I'll be traveling around the world. I'm going to make a lot of friends, and I'm going to be homeless, and I'm going to start a campfire, and I'm going to listen to music, and I-I might be able to d-love them. Even if it beats the staff! You... you can make shapes, so you can kiss. Blind... sworn kiss! Yeah, I'm gonna put this in there, too. ’

‘I will live happily ever after. ’

‘It could be a woman, but I hope it's Prince Charming. Smart, kind, thoughtful, wise, handsome prince. He will use you in the right place, and this wand will also be used by the righteous warrior...’

‘Good warrior, good prince. Is it really there?’

I thought someday a qualified person would come in and get me out of the tower.

And over time, right now,

The moment when a greasy green hand touches a part of your body. Isaac screams.

“Welcome to my collection. Isaac.”

- Hee hee hee hee hee hee!

Brave warrior, good prince, there is no such thing.

A monument to the truth, Isaac...

Screaming and denying Isaac for the rest of his life.
