I can't think of anything. I just roll a small orb in my left hand in a dazed mood.
“user Kim Soo-hyun. ”
Ten years. For a long time, I fulfilled my dream and aspiration. But it doesn't go away. The loss and heartache that filled me now were still tormenting me.
“user Kim Soo-hyun. May I ask you again? ”
A bad but beautiful aesthetic knocks on my ear. I slowly raised my head, drawn to the sound. The more I lift my head, the more I see the ground made of gray bricks. Then, by the time I had captured the thirty flat space in my vision, I stopped looking up gradually.
The ‘Summon Chamber' where everything begins and ends. On top of the rectangular altar in the center of the room, the white spreading wings were faintly fluttering. I felt empty and fixed my gaze on the ‘angel' sitting on the altar.
“I will reconfirm user Kim Soo-hyun's request. Do you really want to turn back the time in the Hole Plane? ”
“Yes."
He nods slowly and gazes at the angel in front of his eyes. Beautiful appearance that can be called the pinnacle of beauty, smooth skin that can't be seen, and close clothing that illuminates the innermost parts of the body. All of it was just looking at me.
But there is no desire. The beautiful attitude of an angel, the sad look of an eye. Nothing shakes my dead heart. I have lost all my feelings since ‘that day’.
“I can't believe it. I, and all the angels, cannot understand you. ”
“No, you're wrong. I don't want you to understand. Seraph.”
My voice in my ears is so cold. The voice of the angel, Seraph, was trembling differently than usual. I don't remember seeing Seraph shake, except today. Then, what I'm saying is just as shocking.
Despite a brief shudder, Seraph immediately recovers his expressionless appearance. And I began to talk calmly with my polite voice.
“User Kim Soo-hyun, you have fulfilled all of Hall Plane's missions and are the first user to reach the top. ”
“By the way."
“But it's not. I got the zero-code that I wanted so badly. You have a 'qualification’. To the extent that entitlement allows it, you can achieve anything you want. ”
“Seraph. We're done here. ”
“Return to Earth? Very well. We can return to Earth while maintaining our current capabilities. Stay in Hall Plain? That's fine. With a zero code, you could be king of all continents, or even more. ”
I can't help but sigh and place my right hand on my waist. The handle of the sword in your grip feels familiar.
“Huey, 10 years is enough for me to fall for that kind of irony. I'm tired now. Seraph? I won't tell you again. No matter what you say about me, I'm not going to reconsider using the zero code. ”
Grab the handle so it cradles and creates magical force along the circuit. Serrap silenced me for days, making sure I read the rising energy of my whole body. But that was also a moment. Soon I felt sorry for her face when she looked at me. Looks like they're not ready to give up on persuasion yet.
“The ownership of the zero code belongs to user Kim Soo-hyun, Orlot. We don't have the authority to touch it. And that's even more unfortunate. It's absurd to just use that powerful thing to go back in time. ”
“ ……. ”
“Let me check one last time. Are you sure you want to repeat that 10 years of pain? ”
After speaking, Seraph's tone is almost as close to relief as he can get. Suddenly, an unprovoked smile appeared from the inside. It was literally a laughter for no reason.
I laughed silently for a while.
*
This is not Earth. Another world called "Hall Plane," where everyday life is different from everyday life enjoyed by modern people.
I closed my eyes. And I began to think back to what I had been through one by one.
When I first entered Hall Plain, I was 23 years old when the future was still prosperous 10 years ago. The last thing I remember on Earth is the thought of returning home happy after two years of military service.
I fell asleep on the train on my way home from reporting my discharge. When I woke up, I was summoned to the Summon Room right here. And in front of my awakened eyes was an angel with white wings that only existed in my imagination.
A situation where you knew nothing, and you knew nothing. It was like lightning for me when I literally had a dream of going home.
It wasn't a dream. It wasn't a fantasy. I begged the angel to send it back when I had only accepted it into reality. But the next place I was moved to was a place that proved the user's credentials, called the rite of passage. I had to take the test by force, being chased by monsters I'd never seen before.
The prescribed duration of the trial is 7 days. It was a battlefield where Orloth fought only for his survival. In the face of myriad life-threatening threats, it was only after barely a week that I was qualified as a 'User' to enter the world called "Hall Plain."
However, the rite of passage was not over. Hall Plain was truly the beginning. If the rite of passage was a seven-day survival war, then Hall Plain was an unbelievable hell.
And life in the hall plains that began.
I just wanted to live. I desperately adapted to the unconscious world of Hall Plain because I wanted to live. At the end, I put all my hopes in the words of the angel that I could go back, and I acted for 10 years. Yeah, I just wanted to live and go back. With my unbreakable relationships.
“user Kim Soo-hyun. What do you think you're doing? Do you have any idea... ”
The moment I think of the word 'fate,' I get a feeling that is overwhelming. I waved my head hard. The important thing here was not being reminiscent.
“Oh, just for a moment, I thought of the old days. A painful 10-year loop, by the way... Seeing you say that, you still have a minimum conscience? ”
“ ……. ”
“Yes. You've caused me pain that I didn't have to endure. For ten years, too. ”
“user Kim Soo-hyun. ”
Whether he wants to read the psychology, Seraph's gaze is watching everywhere. As soon as I try to tell her to stop, her beautiful lips open and a quiet voice pours out.
“If you're thinking about user Kim Yoo-hyun and user Han Soyoung.... I think I know what you want. Su-hyun Kim, I have a very reasonable idea. Your current GP has accumulated enough points to activate your wishes several times. I don't need to use zero code to go back in time.... ”
‘I hate to admit it, but he's right. ’
I knew that would come out. Before Seraph could finish, I drew my sword from its sheath and swung it with all my might.
Ping!
A sharp wave that tears air apart. The waves I sent shook the altar where Seraph sat. But that's it. The white barrier she created, the pulse, vanishes without a trace.
“user Kim Soo-hyun.... I understand the emotion, but it's meaningless. I think you know that yourself. ”
I knew it anyway. The user cannot harm the angel. Nevertheless, what I wielded was an expression of intense will to never change my will.
“Astarot said right before he died. After all, you guys are the same. ”
“You're going to believe the devil? You're not anyone else? ”
“That's the truth. Not this, not that. In the end, it doesn't make a difference. ”
“Wait, wait, wait... I think I've explained your requirements enough already. ”
“You said you didn't qualify. You said you didn't deserve it. So I went back in time and said I was going to reinstate my qualifications, but there's nothing to complain about. ”
“Soo-hyun!”
Ping!
“Don't scream, I'm deaf. And we call the user by last name. Like you always do. ”
The pulse blew and faded again. Seraph was staring at me with a sad look at how unbelievable this sudden behavior was. Whatever. I fixed the slow, radiant sword aiming at her. And as we work our magic, a seedy flame rises from the sword. Looking at the edge of the sword, Seraph bites his lip.
“I'll give you one last warning. Put the sword away now. You may be able to use the settings, but your origins are human. If you think you can kill a creature with a subdued dimension, I'd say you're mistaken. ”
“Yeah? Let's give it a try, shall we? Screw this and ask the zero-code for permission to kill you. ”
“You certainly have the right to use it. But the launch of the zero-code is unconditional upon us. I hope you can break your hopeless dreams. ”
“You're confident. Is there really no way? ”
“Th…. User Kim Soo-hyun. Ha... It's a pointless argument. But..."
Seraph opens his mouth as if he has something more to say. But I kept my lips shut as soon as I felt the cold anger and sincere emotions rising from my sword.
“ ……. ”
“ ……. ”
For a moment, the heavy silence between me and Seraph subsides. I calmed the boiling excitement and slowly lowered my sword. And I listened to the zero-code in my left hand, feeling lonely. A small, beautiful piece of bead emitting a deep blue light. What the hell...?
“Seraph. I don't want to fight anymore. I don't want to talk. If you understand how I feel, and if you really think about me. Please.”
As soon as I said please, Seraph's eyes turned round in sadness. I reached out for her with my hand holding a zero cord. I have now firmly made my decision.
“I'm gonna ask you one more time. I want to go back 10 years. Back when I first came in here. ”
Did he read my desperate will? At that moment, the zero-code, which was emitting intermittent light, began emitting a bright swarm of light. I widened my grip. Then the radiant sphere flashed, drawing a thin parabolic line, and flew to the altar with Seraph. She accepts the sphere with a blank face.
Seraph's hollow gaze soon tangled with my gaze in the air.
How long has it been since we've seen each other like that? Soon her lips opened slowly, very slowly.
“If you really want it. ”
“ ……. ”
“We respect your opinion. ”
“Seraph.”
Seraph glanced at me and spoke with a weak face.
“Don't get me wrong, please listen. As I said before, user Kim Soo-hyun currently has a considerable amount of GP. It's completely unreasonable to get rid of it. ”
Seraph says I shake my head to the left and to the right. What good is a Gold Point (GP) now that I'm going back anyway? But Seraph's thoughts are different, and she's teasing her hands at an invisible speed like she's manipulating something.
“It's unbelievable, but your will has triggered a zero-code reaction. Okay, with the help of the helper, we'll randomize the details. Of course, it won't hurt Kim Soo-hyun as much as fingernails. I'll see you soon after you're done. ”
Finish the job? See you soon? I was about to ask him what he was up to. As I was about to take my lip off, I filled the room with a murky voice that I had never heard before.
“We have received a request from user Kim Soo-hyun. 27%, 58%, 77% 100%. Loading…. Approved. Passed. Code Name and Zero are now live. Be prepared.”
Hup, hup, hup.
At that moment, you hear a rusty machine moving. At the same time, Zero Code, which had entered Seraph's arms, scattered into the air sprinkled a clear light.
Pa!
The light fills the interior with light that fills your vision. I still hear rusty mechanical sounds, and strange senses that I can't quite fathom rush through my body. It's not strange. The sensation of space twisting, and the sensation of something going too fast. It was similar to the way the world felt when the Grand Duke of Hell appeared in the Atlanta redistribution that happened before.
As time went by, Serrap's appearance was no longer visible because he was obscured by a growing swarm of light. Soon, I closed my eyes in a way that told me to be what I wanted to be.
