“Ah……. ”

Yura looked around with a fearful gaze. What the hell is going on? The light force that pressed the button did not enter, so I hesitated until the end.

The question of whether this was really good was constantly bothering my mind. However, I finally decided to look at the soldiers as CCTV, including the semi-young smile while preparing for the last time beyond the final barrier, Iron Gate.

Yura couldn't understand. Why is he smiling? Are you not afraid of death? And I was jealous. When I thought I wanted to laugh there, too, I saw Joo-young and the soldiers rushing in with their guns down, and then Yura was able to press the button without hesitation.

I closed my eyes thinking that I was glad I didn't feel pain while being caught in the white light. However, I opened my eyes to the sound of the wind in my ears and felt confused when I was standing in the middle of the forest.

“What happened? ”

I muttered, but I couldn't find the answer.

* * *

How long can modern humans survive in the forest without any equipment or food? Yura walks through the forest slowly with a glance. The primitive forests, unlike the well-organized urban forests themselves, were nothing like the jungle itself.

At night, I slept in my sleep curled up with a slight tingling sound. During the day, I wandered through the forest in search of road or water. The reason I was able to endure all this time was because I did not lose my body temperature thanks to the warm weather, but did not lick the dew that was made in the morning.

But that's the limit now. Hunger and thirst were a problem, but even more painful and frightening was that this forest was a perfect forest of death.

With a forest this dense, there would have to be birds, small animals, predators that would eat them, and bugs that would sustain the forest's ecosystem. One, this forest did not show any life.

“I knew this was hell.... ”

After losing his strength to move, Yura sat still and muttered bitterly, barely breaking through the gap of the thick branches and raining down the sun.

This is how scary a forest without life is. In the meantime, my curiosity as a scholar has given me a curiosity about how this forest is not destroyed, but how it maintains its ecosystem.

Will he die here? Or do I start this wandering again? Yura sighs and looks up at the sky dazed.

At that moment, Yura was surprised by the sound of a rustle. She swung her head in the direction of the sound and opened her eyes. A wolf tilts its head in surprise as Yura's eyes meet.

A wolf. A beast that is difficult to deal with, even for a strong man, stands like a man.

“Gaaaah!”

Yura fainted screaming, not knowing where that power came from.

“Amazing. How foolish of them to make such progress. ”

“It's amazing. It's just so weak. ”

“It's the same here and there. Humans who make desire the core of prosperity. ”

“This is far beyond expectation. They can threaten us. ”

“So I'll have to check it out. Any contact with the leaders of the other world? ”

“I've done it. I don't have any resistance to psychic enchantments, so I've taken it easy with a few simple moves." ”

“Now all I have to do is toss you the trigger. ”

It was interesting for the xenophobes to have a world where only humans live. Unlike humankind on this side of the world who can't even look forward to foolishness, the humans on that side have created a civilization that even the Ancients would admire.

Communication technology that can communicate on the other side of the planet in real time, exploring space beyond the sky, and exceeding the Great Library of Knowledge.

It was a world that could distract enough of the celestial and magical systems. What worries me is that their civilization is built on blood and corpses, not peace.

That is why it is imperative that we verify the power of their weapons and the power of the Humans. The treasure belonging to the powerless has the right power to poison, but you have chosen a few areas that are not opponents of the great powers, and you have chosen one of them appropriately to inform the area where the gate will open. The Hana faction underestimated Humans.

“That's desperate.”

“What a fool. It's not reasonable.”

“He must also be a human trait. ”

Humans anticipated a war. I knew I'd be jointly managing the gate after one battle. That's how we led them. But some humans in roughly the Gorn region continue to resist. The xenophobes could not understand that.

Some human actions that the regional leaders had already decided to surrender and did not understand why the defeat was so obvious have drawn the attention of the xenogens.

“But this is the last time. ”

You see the last dozen humans, pushed away from the man-made cave, preparing for the end. Humans beyond that are the last of the warriors because they don't know how to fight.

“The last of the warriors. Let's pay our respects and keep an eye on them until the end. ”

The warriors even abandon their weapons and begin to flee in horror.

“What is it?”

When I tilt my head in a situation I don't understand, a white swarm of light bursts out.

And then disaster struck.

* * *

“This is the price of arrogance. Even if our fate is doomed, if we can make amends, we are satisfied. ”

“But the children are innocent! ”

“He is also our sin. Our choices have also taken away their future. Embrace hatred and anger and live in humiliation and humiliation, that is our atonement. ”

“The moment of choice has passed, and now the time of atonement. ”

A vast underground space with access to tens of thousands of people was swarming with various factions. The center of the space. At the center of the dazzling golden dragon, representatives of each faction sat around the ice.

“It is also our duty to stop the disaster as it has begun because of our wrong choices. ”

Along with the Golden Dragon Declaration, the bodies of the tribes gathered around the dragon slowly began to solidify. It didn't take a long time for all the ten tribes, including dragons and druids, trians, Joins and Golden Manes, to turn into statues. It was a moment when the ancient tribes, who had kept this world with wisdom and peace, disappeared.

“Now we begin eternal redemption as sinners who caused disaster. I am a sinner and proof of the consequences of foolish choices. Now remember that the world is in your hands and pray that you don't make the same mistakes we did... ”

The golden dragon that was in the center of the space was harmonized with the earth, losing all its resplendent light. An elf approaches towards the dragon that can blink freely with only one left eye.

“The wrath of the spirits is abating. Success.”

“Catastrophe is over, but chaos begins. Behind you, please.”

“May... one day... the atonement of eternity be over..." ”

“Where am I? Where are you taking me? ”

Yura tries to have a conversation with all the languages she knows, but the werewolf shakes his head and does not open his mouth.

Apparently, he has a system of language, but this werewolf was keeping his mouth shut.

Still, the treatment was not bad. No, I mean, seriously? Even Yura's petty gesture made me limp and groan.

The first time I saw a werewolf, I was stunned. No, he was actually unconscious, and he was unconscious because he knew it wasn't a dream.

Fear does not bore me, as the wolf whines like a puppy. As fear subsided, curiosity as a scholar settled.

A werewolf, a piece of fiction that appeared in many media. Since such a werewolf is walking in front of his eyes as a living specimen, he wondered what the skeletal structure and internal organs would be like.

Twitch!

Since the animal had developed instincts, the wolf opened its distance from Yura. As Yura looked from head to toe, through the material of the clothing and metal of the weapons, the wolf shed cold sweat, and the little void came out after the bush.

In the middle of the clearing, there was a large tent, and the wolf, whose gaze was getting heavier and heavier, called Yura with a gesture as if to quickly go in.

Yura hesitates through the wolf and enters the tent. There was a red carpet on the floor, and a woman sitting across from Yura was following the tea in two cups placed on a small table.

“…… Elves? ”

Even Yura, who has long ears, knows the Elven formula.

The elf smiles at Yura and says,

“Welcome, stranger. ”

“…… how? ”

Yura looks at the elf without concealing her surprise. I didn't expect to hear my native language here, not English, from an Elf.

“Have a cup of tea and calm down. ”

Yura shudders at the Elf's suggestion, but takes a sip of tea while the Elf sits in his seat of authority.

The elf said when his head became clear with a gentle fragrance that calmed his mind, and he burst his elasticity.

“I understand the confusion. We're embarrassed, to be honest. ”

“What does that mean? ”

“You must have a lot of questions. But rest up today. I will take you to the one who will solve all your questions tomorrow. who will tell you anything you want to know. …… even the truth you don't want to hear. ”

* * *

“Hiic!”

Yura thought she wasn't afraid of heights, but she changed her mind. I was going down to the basement where I couldn't even reach the light of the Abyss in a basket filled with frozen wood, so I was afraid of heights without it.

‘This is an elevator. Nothing to be afraid of.’ I was constantly shaking for two hours, and I only wished to arrive as soon as I got there, so I barely sighed of relief.

“Here……. ”

Yura looked around and was amazed. The vertical cave was so deep that it could not even come down to light that the matter emitting subtle light was illuminating its surroundings, embroidering the cave wall like a galaxy, creating a mysterious scene.

It was scary, but it was worth it just to see it.

“Come here.”

The elf jumps over the perimeter and gives Yura a moment to look at it dazed, then shows Yura with a polite attitude. Following the guidance of the Elves, Yura, who was walking along the passageway on one side of the vertical cave, was unable to keep her mouth shut in the landscape of the giant underground square that was opened after the passageway ended.
