… and so the Wizard fulfilled his lifelong wish.

But he wasn't happy at all. No, rather than rejoicing, I fell into despair.

I finally love her so much that I'm left alone in the tower.... She eventually came back as a cold corpse.

The beautiful flowers that once excited the continent have now cooled down.

The wizard, who was wandering around in despair, one day came to a grave decision.

Yes, it was "resurrection." He was a renowned wizard and a brilliant alchemist at the same time. and decided to do everything in his power to resurrect the princess, and finally stepped into the realm of withdrawal.

What happened after that?

No one knows that. because after that day, the wizard put "magic of eternity" in the forest, and then naturally the news was cut off. So that's all that's written in the lore.

It's just that sometimes I hear from the forest....

It was as Song Seung-gyu said.

Despite the prestige of the ruins, there is nothing inside the tower. All I can see is the ice giving off a cool glow and a fucking sight.

Anyway, it was not a bad thing, and we were able to climb the stairs without any interference.

As you climb up, you notice that the interior of the tower gradually becomes darker.

There is no problem with vision. But as I went up the stairs from the first floor, I couldn't find a single window. As a result, the sun did not shine, so I felt that it was dark without knowing even though it was daytime.

How many dark towers did he climb?

Huff... Huff... Huff...

Suddenly, a cool breeze rises from the top of the stairs.

Just because you entered the tower doesn't mean the cold is going anywhere. Of course, there was ice on the inside, and the breeze seemed to stir the cold even more.

It was when my whole body was shrunk during the stabbing period.

“We'll be on the eighth floor shortly. ”

Suddenly, a eerie hiss came through the wind.

The frozen staircase twists spirally like a conch shell, slippery enough to make your feet stumble. After carefully balancing, I quietly raised my head and looked forward.

“Just over that door, you'll see an ice maze. There's been an anomaly in the caravan from there, so you should be more careful from now on. ”

Song Seung-gyu. It was still an uncomfortable sound, but the tone itself is quite relaxed. Perhaps you think you've already caught all the meat, since you followed me here without any doubt.

“Then you'll find a dark room in question when you cross the maze. ”

“That's right.”

“Then it's about the maze... Do you remember the way? ”

It was more of a stabbing question than an intentional one.

Song Seung-gyu did not immediately answer. I just stood still, then began to move with a light nod.

“ ……. ”

“ ……. ”

Boom, boom, boom.

Buckle up, buckle up.

The sound of footsteps echoing inside a quiet tower.

Song Seung-gyu has been acting relentlessly ever since she entered the tower. But I didn't, and the clans didn't say anything. I was just carefully watching each and every one of his actions and following behind quietly.

Shortly after arriving at the door to the eighth floor, we quietly observed Song Seung-gyu's actions.

He steps to the right side, groping the wall, and quickly finds something similar to a handle and holds it in his hand. And down we go, boom! You can see the ice door rising with a scratch.

I tilted my head.

'Are you still not going to reveal...?'

Soon after that, the ice door went up about 4/5, revealing a dark interior with an explosive heat wave.

“I remember the road somewhat. Then come in.”

Soon after, Song Seung-gyu said a word and hid herself suddenly into the entrance.

*

It was a long time before I came up to the eighth floor and entered the maze.

As Song Seung-gyu said, the eighth floor was dizzy and had a very complex shape.

But I don't feel Heman. No.... Should I say that the maze doesn't exactly feel like a maze?

Because.

“It should have been left here. ”

At least once or twice with this complex length, Song Seung-gyu chose the road without hesitation on the 11th fork. Soon after that, walking loudly and loudly, it seemed very familiar to only the second person who came.

Seeing Song Seung-gyu moving forward, Ha-yeon came up to the side and asked.

“Soo-hyun, what are you going to do? I'm still confused. ”

“There's no doubt about it. ”

“Then…. ”

“Let's follow you first. It's either one of them anyway. Either we go into the tiger's den, or we do something about it before we go in. ”

It is said that abnormal signs originate from the maze. That's why I can't be careless, but I was feeling like I wanted to take us to the ninth floor for some reason.

“Let's go first. ”

Boom, boom, boom.

Buckle up, buckle up.

How much time has passed since the fork in the road?

Song Seung-gyu warned me before entering the maze, but nothing else happened in the maze.

I wonder if a quiet march like this was too boring to sleep.

“Soo-hyun Kim! I think I passed here earlier. Aren't we spinning? ”

Suddenly, Vivian walks up to me and whispers in her little voice. And I glanced as if to ask for an answer, but I shaken my head and walked silently. She grunts, but no longer rubs. She returns to her seat and keeps quiet.

The clan members were already talking about Song Seung-gyu before they left. So they were not slowing down their tension, and only Vivian said, "Oh. I see." Except for the occasional grumbling, I understood that she was a little bit like me, so I was bored.

'It's not exactly the way I was.... I have to reconsider the fact that I'm spinning.'

I feel much wider now than when I checked the size of the tower outside. Of course, there were some circles in the middle, but the door was still invisible after a long time since I entered the maze.

It was then.

Soon, as I walked around the long ice wall into a new path, a huge wall blocking the left and right was trampled upon by the snow. At one point, it was just a simple wall of ice, but I felt like I didn't know what to hand over. As soon as we looked up, we could see the identity of the feeling of disguise.

It was a blurry blood stain on the wall. The scars themselves were faint.... If you look at the color, it was definitely recently sprinkled blood.

I stopped walking and opened my mouth.

“You're covered in blood. ”

As Najjik spoke, everyone's steps stopped. Soon, I calmly pointed to the right wall, one by one. (At the same time, you give the clan members a warning not to act rashly.)

Song Seung-gyu tilted her head for a moment, then approached the wall and looked closely. Then he opens his mouth quietly.

“... I see something faint. ”

“Yes, if you look at the color, it looks like recently sprinkled blood. Do you have any idea...? ”

The visible back headache shakes unnaturally.

“No, I'm not sure. And it doesn't seem very important. ”

“It could belong to a colleague. ”

“Of course. But I can't really tell right now, so I think it's best to get out of the maze." ”

... I didn't mean it like that.

Soon, Song Seung-gyu stepped back from the wall and pointed to an open road forward.

“We're almost there. As you walk down this path, you'll see stairs going up in a right-handed direction. Just up the stairs and you'll find the door. That's the ninth floor that my colleagues and I were hit on. ”

I glanced back at the direction he was pointing and said a few words.

“You remember in great detail. ”

Song Seung-gyu did not answer again.

It was just when I took the shape of trying to walk back in the direction of the road.

Vivian rubs her hands together as if they were cold, then mutters in a blunt tone.

“Phew. Here we are. Thank goodness. I want you to go back inside, beat up your soul or whatever. ”

It was that moment.

Tak!

Song Seung-gyu, who was just about to move his steps, paused for a moment.

He was still showing his back, and said in that state.

“… What? ”

“Ugh, yeah? ”

“What did you just say? ”

I looked back at Zigsy Bian. She blinks at first, then shows her face to see if she knows the situation quickly.

I sighed for a short time, but I decided to think about it. Now the ninth floor was quick, and in fact, it was no problem now.

He was a parasite after all, and killing him meant nothing. Honestly, it didn't matter when I entered the tower, but it was a matter of keeping an eye on where I was taking them.

I raise my right hand and quietly open my mouth.

“You know better than that. ”

“I know very well... ”

Suddenly, a slightly higher tone of voice flowed in.

“Kick, who do you think I am? ”

“Well, at least I know you're not the master of the body. ”

“How long have you known? Did they tell you that? ”

They mean ghosts.

I answered with a slow stroke of my sword.

“From the first moment I saw you. I could see that the body you possessed was dead. ”

The third eye, to be exact.

At that time, the message that appeared came to mind: "Death" and "possession."

Soon, Song Seung-gyu, or the original soul, said.

“... How did you know? ”

“Of course, it wasn't just that. The ghosts told me exactly what you said. ”

“How did you know? ”

“I came into the tower again to find out. Your behavior was strangely unnatural. And when I climbed the stairs, I was sure I couldn't reach my feet. ”

Then Song Seung-gyu's head lowered. Are you looking at your feet?

No, it's not. It was not just my head. His whole body was limp and limp like a broken doll.

Tuck, Dekuru.

Then something white and round falls and rolls the floor. However, without any time to check the identity, the head that had been looking at the front of the socket window until now began to squeak.

“How did you know? ”

“ ……. ”

I couldn't turn it around completely.

His face was quite grotesque, showing exactly half of it. Black dead, squinty eyes. And those ugly lips that rip your ears off. Barely half the head is turned, shivering enough to be seen, and it seems to be trying to get back somehow.

“Er... Wh... wh... Wh... wh... Hey...?”

And that was the moment.

Pow!

At one moment, Song Seung-gyu's neck was sharply bent to the left. The angle of bend was far above 90 degrees, making it appear deformable to anyone.

You hear someone groaning deeply behind you.

But it didn't end once.

Pow!

On the contrary, my head is turned, and I move freely, shaking my head.

In that state, three seconds passed, one second felt like a minute.

At that moment, his writhing neck suddenly twisted his neck and stared at us. And it was only then that I saw his dead face completely. At the same time, I could see the identity of the white that had fallen to the ground earlier.

Eyes seem to have fallen down, as you can't see through them.

Soon.

Her lips were torn under her ears and her teeth slammed together like walnut puppets.

“How did you know? How did you know? How did you know? How did you know? How did you know? How did you know?”

Then, immediately, he rushes up into the air, scrubbing his whole body.

His hair was pulled upward.

It's like being bitten by someone.

We're sorry, but we'll need one more as we anticipated at the beginning. So the next time you have fun playing Rat Fire... Hehe.

Whew. I have a private presentation at 10: 00 in the morning, and I'm only halfway there.

I'm so sleepy... We're in trouble.
