King of Shadows

00402 Deep Sea

Long silence. The shadows seem to be holding the bridge. Sihyun remembered the name he uttered, but it didn't come up funny. I knew that I had an indescribable word in my mouth, but that was it. It couldn't have been in the memory. It was reflective in the beginning. The unconsciousness that could not be seen or heard was just twitching.

He couldn't help but look at his trembling hands. I was unfamiliar even though it was my own. He took a deep breath in a sense of separation from his mind and body.

At that moment, an uninvited guest appeared behind her back.

"For those who think about it, Alto is everyone's idol that runs to the end of outer space! Long time no see, brother. How are you? I'm always fine, so don't worry."

A girl with dark hair like the night sky and dark eyes like the abyss showed up, harassing the space and dimensions. Total chaos and confusion. She was the one who shook the whole universe.

"..."

It was a familiar face that broke through the heavy security of Keraeno's Great Library. He was well aware of Sihyun because he had made a deal with her to stop Igolognac's reverse. She was advisor to The One and the incarnation of Nilatothep, Alto.

Alto stared at Sihyun and twisted his body.

"You can be a little happier. He will, too, because I, the envious and jealous idol of the universe, have come to him myself. You can dance with no joy, you can hug me, you can close your eyes for once."

Sihyun realized that the strange sensation that was holding him was gone. Seeing a ridiculous comedy will spoil you. Sihyun sighed and welcomed a guest who had come to him.

"Enough with the damn jokes. What brings you here this time?"

"Can't you come to me if you don't have something to do? Between us?"

Alto looks genuinely surprised. He had to frown. The next time you make a deal, you have the promise to take the corresponding price. I couldn't be happier.

Moreover, I didn't want to talk to the person who covered his nature with masks and smoke. However, Alto interpreted the behavior of such demonstrations as he did not want to know or not.

"Are you ashamed to be in the same room with me, who is so cute and elegant? Are you nervous and can't say anything? Is it too much of a burden to breathe my exhaled air again? Huhu, be pure! But don't worry, I won't touch you if you don't want me to."

Alto smiles brightly as to what is so pleasant. Normally, I would ignore it quietly, but I couldn't. It was because he was confused when he saw Master Keraeno and realized that he had stepped foot in the area of the ban. Sihyun growled incredibly.

"If you have no business, leave."

I couldn't spare him. I just wanted to investigate Master Keraeno, who touched his inner instinct. It is because I strongly felt that the gift that K'Tanid mentioned before could be Master Keraeno. Alto, by the way, points to Master Keraeno in Sihyun's hands.

"You've already found what you need, right? You have a vague sense of compassion in there, too. Is there anything else you'd like to know?"

"Do you know? What does it say?"

"It's weird not knowing. He's been watching the case from start to finish."

Alto's voice became even colder. The crooked mouth is a mixture of flesh and foe. Sihyun instinctively realized that if he asked Alto, he could be closer to the truth. But I couldn't ask soon enough.

"Hmph! It's amazing that K'Tanid resembles my purpose, but he must have decided it was time... Let's do it because the time is right." "

Alto mutters small enough that no one can hear him. She clears her mind and opens her mouth.

"Don't you want to know what it was before you were a brother?"

His glabella frowned by itself because it was a question like a leading answer. It was because the pursuit did not provide an answer. What's the point of knowing in the first place? He looked at Alto once and shook his head.

"I'm not curious. What were you thinking in the first place that would get the subject there? Is my past that important?"

I didn't realize Alto was having meaningless chatter. She transcends the concept of power. He had the ability to make delusions come true without making fun of his tongue. If she had come all the way out here and opened her mouth, she had to see that it meant something.

Sihyun looked at Master Keraeno. Weird books that resonate with instinct. My heart trembled at the thought that the truth contained in it might coincide with Alto's words.

"It matters. It's where your destiny leads. If the word" identity "comes to you heavily, you can describe it as your past life."

"If that's the case, I'll tell you to wake up. In my previous life, I was an ordinary worker -- a salaryman -- If that's who you really are, I'll make fun of you with a smile."

My mouth responded before my head. It was as natural as it was, and it was said that much. It was Xi Hyun's past life that all kinds of rhetoric did not make her special.

"Really? You really think so? Or is that what you want to think? Which way? Teach me, okay?"

Alto, who took out the debt, covers his mouth. I looked at the demonstration with interesting eyes. He was overwhelmed with an unknown anxiety because he didn't know what was inside. Even if he is who he is, he doesn't know anything. I didn't live a special life or keep any big secrets.

"Then let me ask you one question. What was your name in your past life?"

Alto sits on a book stacked by Se-hyun. With a relaxed attitude, he kicked his tongue briefly. What she wanted to talk about, she couldn't get enough of it.

"Why do you ask that all of a sudden?"

"I'm interested. It's a missing name anyway. I can tell you that because I know it won't make a difference, right?"

"Leave quietly after you hear it."

"Of course."

"So, uh...?"

Sihyun opened his mouth, but what came out was not the name of his previous life, but the word was elastic. A voice of ominous breathing echoes through your bowels without any meaning. Alto raised his jaw when he saw his reaction.

"Bullshit. You don't even want to tell me your name? What was the name of the job you went to in your past life? I can tell you that much."

"Ugh, ugh... haha, haha."

Sihyun breathed. I couldn't answer. As I tried to remember my past life, the more I tried, the more empty-headed I was. There were no memories of my past life in my head.

The demonstration that grabbed his neck did not conceal his trembling voice.

"What have you done to me?"

"You know best that I didn't do anything."

The howling tail turns to a howling smile, and the howling smile turns to a bitter smile. Everything was Alto, just like she thought. Sihyun couldn't remember his previous life.

"I can't believe you don't remember your past life..."

Sihyun shakes his head as if he denies the reality. He could be the Savior because he remembered his previous life. If he had not been such an accomplishment as an ordinary worker, he would not have been able to ascend the position of the Savior.

"Then when, how did you die? How did you decorate the last part of your life?"

"I see..."

Nothing came out of his throat. Even though it was his life, I couldn't remember anything. The name Azatos came out well, but I couldn't say a word about my past life. What the hell is wrong with you? How things are going to turn out. Sihyun was astonished at the fact that the components that made him were broken from the beginning. My hands trembled. I was corrected for perfection, but the tremors did not stop.

Only then did he realize that he had never imagined his past life. I've only lived on a single piece of information.

"Admit it, brother."

Approaching his ears, Alto whispered quietly.

"You don't have a past life. Because his past life was full of lies."

At the end of Alto's words, Sihyun grabs his head. The truth melted thickly. I couldn't keep my mouth shut to the reality of digging in my head.

"Ugh. Ugh. What am I, then?"

"You just said that with your own mouth. Azatos, go."

"Azatos..."

Primitive chaos, the ultimate god, the king of all things. Azatos, the clumsy, foolish father. You're that great yourself? He wasn't dead? What are you talking about? You expect me to believe that? Without any evidence? Not long ago, you were just a layman. Which way is it now, if I say yes? Azatos or Han Shi-hyun? The question followed by a tail. And as the question continued, the pain deepened.

"Shh-oh. Shhh."

It looks like you're digging through the skull with a drill. It seemed like the worm was digging into my head. He resisted the pain with all his might, but it was a force of necessity.

Soon, blood began to flow from within the eyelids. A lump of flesh gushes from my mouth. In pain that seemed to sever the mind and body, he bit his lips.

"I, for one..."

"Papa, you need to wake up now. Don't turn your back on reality."

"... what nonsense, chuck."

I felt a corner of my chest.

'Why did he become like this? How long do I have to wait in hell that doesn't end? It hurts. It hurts. I can't stand it. I didn't do anything. I can't believe this happened. I can't forgive you. I don't want to I want to exterminate those who made themselves like this.'

Unknown hatred and unforgettable truth. Sihyun caught the beating heart like a burst.

"Heck, that hurts. It hurts...!"

All that remained in the missing memories was a dark, disgusting feeling. Convenience of vague information that cannot be expressed verbally and cannot be communicated to others. Story-life didn't lead to one line. It has been torn and damaged like Master Keraeno for a long time. Sihyun only knew that something was shaking inside him.

Alto was immersed in the fragrance that flowed from his body. It smells familiar, and it's something I forgot a long time ago.

"Why has Earth become a battlefield with nothing?" Haven't you ever wondered, brother? "

"There's a reason?"

"There can't be no reason. The universe is vast. We won't see each other again for hundreds of millions of years. But the Earth is different. In a short period of time, there were a lot of beings, right? Isn't it weird to see a whole bunch of them on one planet?"

"That means..."

"Those who are after Papa-brother are gathering one by one. They're going to kill the papa before he regains his strength. No matter how helpless you become, the papa will dig. But also papa. I never thought I'd get my powers back the way I didn't."

Recommendation for National Power

Commendo National Power

1. When I attended the Anti-Banner Event, I didn't go up during that period. So it was a little late.
