Possessing Nothing

Mesh's Mountain -3

Mesh.

God who controls persecution and trials. Go to Mt. Mesh, who hopes to gain something from hardship and persecution. It is entirely the freedom of the practitioner to hope for an unbearable golden rule. Some come into the mountains without taking the money, and some ask for it themselves.

But the result is the same. Take the money or don't take it. In the end, the Mesh puts the practitioner through trial and the practitioner through trial.

There are three ends.

Give up your hardships and get out of the mountains.

Beat the bully and be rewarded for it.

Or die trying.

Every day is hell.

Lee Sung-min opened his eyes. The body that lifts up is heavy. I should have slept well... but my mind is heavy. It has produced a terrible asthenia. Lee Sung-min's forbidden ‘heaviness’ was also acting on the mind.

“Fuck.”

I feel like I'm getting insulted. I felt so bad that I wouldn't be relieved if I didn't curse. Since it was called ‘Crucifixion,' Lee Sung-min thought that the mesh would be directly crucified.

But it wasn't. Didn't the priest of the Mesh say that it withered like the corpse before Asa? I'm not giving you anything. Eat, drink, even sleep.

Yes, surviving on this mountain itself was a ‘test'. The mountain was... harsh. It is too cold at night and too hot during the day. Jack received a cloak of temperature-keeping magic, but the cold and heat of the mountains could not withstand the harsh magic of the cloak.

Lee Seong-min opened his sub-space pocket with a lot of distortion on on his face. There's still enough bread and water left. But we can't rely on this forever.

Lee Sung-min intended to stay on this mountain for at least two years. I take the money and suffer trials. The longer it is, the greater the reward the mesh sends.

In my past life, I've heard many stories about the mountains of Mesh. But I didn't go there myself. I didn't think I needed to do that. At that time, it was hard enough to live as a mercenary, and it was hard enough to live like that.

The reason why Seong-min entered the mountain of Mesh in this life was simple. There was nothing to be done when I went to Behenger, and I didn't deserve a place to train. In fact, if you needed a place to practice, you could have stayed in Jenavis all along, but you don't expect to get anything if you trained without a job at Jack's Inn for two years.

This is a kind of gamble. We don't know what we can get from the mountains of the Mesh. There were no rumors about him in my past life. Some enter the mountains of the Mesh, but I don't remember the rumors of those who come out.

‘It's up to me. ’

Unlike the opportunities Lee Sung-min remembers and wants. The mountain of the Mesh is not an opportunity. You have to overcome trials and persecutions to get a chance.

Seong-min caught the bread.

It was a horrible meal that felt better to die.

Leads the heavier body and carries out the spear. Wijihoen emphasized the basics, Ranachal, and the herbs of the Nine Heavenly Moon Theatre. Heavy body and heavy spear. Strength goes into it and inner space is used to withstand its weight.

Suddenly I'm exhausted.

‘It's hard.'

Lee Seong-min breathed. I made the wrong choice to quit, but now I think it's too late to think.

A week later.

The meal still didn't get used to it. I thought disgust would become familiar after a week, but it was a hopeless wind.

“Fucking mesh. ”

I never thought there would be so many different kinds of 'tasty’. Lee still vomited whenever he ate food, and vomited when he drank water.

‘Lack of nutrients. ’

It was natural for me to come into the mountains and drink bread and water. I'm running out of bread and water. I had to hunt. Lee Sung-min took on a hunt with a heavy body.

Failed.

It wasn't because I was heavy. As survival itself was a test, the beasts that lived on this mountain were quick and strong. Two days in a row, boom.

A small stone fell beside Lee. Lee Sung-min sat on the floor and breathed, looking back at the direction the stone flew in.

A white-haired woman was looking at Lee Sung-min. She waves once to raise her right hand, slowly approaching Lee Sung-min. Lee Sung-min glanced at the window placed next to him and stood up with his bare hands.

Acolytes in the mountains of the Mesh cannot harm each other. It was one of the absolute rules set forth by the mesh.

The woman came and moved her lips toward Lee Sung-min. But I can't hear his voice. Seong-min tilted her head, and the woman sighed. She snatches the elongated twig from her waist.

[I came to help you because I'm embarrassed to see you.]

The woman wrote on the floor. It was a form of writing that had never been seen before, but Lee Sung-min understood the meaning. It's a public text from Eria. All heretics are summoned while naturally realizing Eria's common words and common characters.

“... Are you speechless? ”

[Voice. The gold it took me.]

The woman quickly adds a note.

[I've been watching for days, and if you keep going, you're going to die.]

“... I'm going to die? ”

[Unbalanced meals. Your body is heavy. Is that your golden rule?]

“… Yes. ”

[My body weakened with a wrong meal. The hunt will continue to fail, and eventually you will die.]

“Is that why you want to help me? ”

[Yes.]

The woman said so and put down the branch. He scratches his back head and looks around. And then...

The woman's body is gone. Lee Sung-min turned his head in search of the appearance of the woman in shock. Oops! Something explodes.

Lee Seong-min hung for several days, but he couldn't catch the deer. He fell on the ground with his head broken. The woman tugs her hand and raises the deer.

‘Master...! ’

Lee Sung-min's face turned white. The woman who came to Lee Sung-min put down the deer that was holding her.

“... What do you want from me? ”

Lee Sung-min asked, and the woman tilted her head.

“You're helping me because you want something, right? ”

Seong-min said again. The woman blinked and laughed. That's the only face I could think of to smile at, and there was no voice. It is because the voice itself is forbidden.

[I don't want anything.]

The woman picks up a branch and writes on the floor.

[I only helped you because you seemed troubled. That's all. It's not that hard for me.]

“... you just did me a favor? ”

It's not kindness, it's goodness. I'm good.]

The woman smiled, writing like that.

[There's nothing to think of as grace. Catching animals is easy for me. I'm fast.]

Not that much.

Currently, Lee was looking over the top. Such a person did not even pursue a woman's movements. The deer... was far away. You make your way there in an instant and hit a deer to kill it. It meant that the woman was a great carpenter.

[I live nearby. You see it all the time. It's a nightmare when a neighbor dies. So help me.]

“… ever? ”

[If necessary. This much work. But in the future, try to make sure you do it yourself.]

The woman advises, Lee Sung-min gives a trembling face and nods. Good deeds, not favors. I helped because I was just a ‘good person'. It was a very strange feeling for Lee Sung-min.

“… What's your name? ”

[Saxony.]

The woman wrote her name on the floor. The name. Lee Sung-min's face turned white.

I knew the name.

Mirrored Sage.

An unmanned person who has been famous for 13 years of his life.

But at the time of Lee Sung-min's death, even Saxons were not alive.

Eight years from now, the Saxony dies.

Wijiho-yeon will kill the Saxony.

It was three weeks after I met Saxogo. It was only a month after Lee Sung-min entered the mountain of Mesh.

Lee Sung-min became interested in the practitioners living on this mountain. As Baek Sogo said to himself, "a good man," when he was in trouble, he appeared like a ghost and helped him. The eccentric cult was the star of the Luminosity itself.

[Your funding is bad.]

White Sogo picked up a branch and wrote letters on the floor.

[Agony is hard. Stealing food from you is the worst kind of gold.]

“Your financials seem very comfortable. ”

[Not really. I'm used to writing now, but it still bothers me.]

I made the expression that I hate white sausage. Even so, it would be better than the money for the taste and weight that Lee Sung-min is receiving.

[Is it still difficult to hunt?]

“My body is so heavy...”

[You have a low level of security. There seems to be quite a lot of internal air, but... why don't you pay more attention to landscaping and orthography than to the creative arts?]

Saxogo advised me. I was also thinking about him. Sung-min nodded his head and asked.

“Is there no other acolyte on this mountain but me and Baek Sogo? ”

[No way.]

The white sogo shakes its head.

[The meddlesome ones come in and leave quickly after a few days, but some have lasted longer than half a year. It's been half a year for me.]

Saxogo wrote.

[The longest one lasted a year. Did you know? The longer you endure, the more money you make. When I was half a year old, one more gold coin was added.]

“… is that your left arm? ”

Lee Sung-min glanced at the left arm of the Saxogo. Lee Seong-min has known about the Saxony for three weeks. In all that time, I had never seen a Saxogo use its left arm.

[Yes, I can't feel my left arm. I can't get enough of it.]

Saxony smiled bitterly.

[It's not a good money in the long run. If we keep going, only the right arm will develop and the balance of both arms will be off.]

“… others? ”

[They each receive their own gold. In fact, there's hardly ever been two in the first place like you. It's that hard, but you'll get it later.]

I repeatedly erased the white sogo with my feet, writing letters.

[Interested in other acolytes?]

“Well... yes. ”

[Then I'll introduce you.]

Baek Sogo nodded his head and wrote. I also asked you to remove the horn. The white sogo starts walking with a twig tucked into its waist and bent. Lee Sung-min followed the white sogo with his heavy body and asked.

“Can't you tell me one thing? ”

In response, the Saxony turned his head. She looks ridiculous and quickly writes on the floor.

[Even if I'm a good person, I can't give you my food line.]

As expected, Lee Sung-min was filled with regret and tasted it.

I tried stabbing him once, but it was a shame.
