Possessing Nothing

Mesh.

God of trials and persecutions.

Seong-min has never met the mesh in person. But the existence of the mesh was conscious. When he came into the mountain, Lee Sung-min blamed himself for the mesh. It's because there were several times when the mesh grumbled in Lee Sung-min's head.

Eria. There is definitely a God in this world. Each region contains a temple or a shrine related to God. A priest who worships God exerts God's power in connection with God. The power that Lee Sung-min is receiving right now is the power allowed by the power of the Mesh.

A ji-rang that was shaking in front of my eyes unites. Soon it became a little girl. Girl. Yes, the mesh was looking at a girl. Long, dark hair is long enough to be dragged to the ground and wrapped in dirty rags like a robe. The body was bandaged up to the neck, including the body, and both eyes glowed pale silver.

“Humans.”

Mesh called Lee Sung-min. Despite God's trials and persecutions, the Mesh's face was still. She asked as she approached the feverish Lee Sung-min.

“Why are you crying? Do you want to give up suffering and suffering on this mountain? ”

It's not like that. Lee Seong-min chewed his lower lip. Blood spilled from my chapped lips. I didn't want to give up because I cried hard enough.

I just don't think this ends well. I was afraid of it. Your encounter with Flam has made you feel desperate for Lee Sung-min. At the same time, it made me feel sorry, selfish, and inferior.

Why I wasn't born a genius.

“Humans.”

Mesh called Lee Sung-min. Lee Sung-min raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. I couldn't cry forever. Crying won't change anything.

Inferiority. It comforted me. I turned away, saying I knew the subject. I lived like that my whole life and died. Even though I was able to start again, my 13 years of experience and memories worked as poison. If I hadn't met Ji Ho-yeon, Seong-min wouldn't have changed anything.

“… I'd like to add a taboo. ”

Lee Sung-min raised his body that was crouching.

I'm heavy.

“Oh.”

The mesh glows. There was emotion on her face. Mesh looked at Lee Sung-min with a curious face.

“You want to add money? ”

“Yes."

To put it bluntly, the Mesh didn't seem to care about such things, even though he thought it was okay to say half to the god Mesh. Rather, Mesh liked Lee Sung-min's attitude and answers. The mesh makes a low laugh.

“You want to do more torture on your own? There's no way I won't listen to you, the god who controls him. ”

However, the Mesh adds a note: She narrowed her eyes and looked at Lee Sung-min.

“Can you handle him? ”

The mesh asks. The mesh slowly approaches. Lee's body is now 15 years old and a little over 160 years old. The mesh had a smaller head than that of a heterosexual.

“You can't cope with the two gold coins you're receiving. But do you think you can handle a lot more than that? How arrogant.”

The mesh hisses. Seong-min rolled his fist. The Mesh is right. ‘Taste’ and ‘Weight.' ’Lee Sung-min is still unfamiliar with these two funds. The weight seemed to increase when conscious, and the taste of food and water was the same.

“... you can do it. ”

No, we have to. Lee Sung-min replied, staring at the face of the mesh. In Lee's reply, the mesh chuckled.

“Are you saying that because you came back from the dead once? ”

In saying that, Lee Sung-min's face stiffened.

“... How did you...? ”

“Because I can see it. ”

Mesh replies.

“All born beings live and eventually die. It's a law you can never disobey. Yes, being born causes death inevitably. That's the cause of existence that can never be undone. ”

The mesh raised its finger to point to Lee Sung-min. The finger wrapped in a white bandage poked Lee Sung-min and stabbed him.

“Of course, not all existences are tied to causality. Taking off the cause has transcended the law. Beyond the inevitable causality of existence, if we transcend the law, we become transcendent and immortal. But you're different. ”

What the Mesh said was impossible to understand. Since the law is the causal rate, the story of the immortal is too far for the rational person.

“You are neither a transcendent nor immortal, and the causality has twisted. Not everyone can recognize him, but as a god, there's no way I wouldn't recognize him. ”

“… the twist in causality… did it have a bad effect on me? ”

“Every being builds a cause. ”

Mesh replies.

“But in your case, you died once, and for some reason you denied death. It's extraordinary. Your soul has made an enormous achievement in the process of defying the cause. Of course it won't affect you in life itself. But after you die... Cough! You will suffer for many years. ”

Thirteen years of life did not add up to thirteen years of cause. Due to the fact that it is called 'death,' the causation of rationality of rational people has become unimaginable to ordinary people. It is not to transcend the law and take off the cause, but to ‘go against’ is to preach against them face to face.

“... It doesn't matter after death. ”

Lee Sung-min replied. Of course, my mind was not at ease. After death... I've been suffering for a long time.

It's a story after death.

“Once I die, I don't care if I come back. … I said I wanted more money. ”

“I said I wouldn't be able to handle it. Arrogant human.”

The mesh shakes its head horizontally.

“You're looking at your bowl too loud. No, your bowl is small. ”

“Aren't you the God of Agony and Tribulation? ”

Lee Seong-min spits. He raises his hand and knocks on his chest.

“I want to suffer and suffer on my own. Why stop him? ”

“You're not listening. ”

The mesh shakes its head.

“What kind of money do you want? ”

“... I want to ask you something first. ”

“Are you willing to answer God and the question without paying anything? ”

“I don't have anything to give you...”

“You're lying. ”

The mesh grins with its teeth bared.

“How's your soul? ”

“… What? ”

“Your soul. A twisted confusion... I think it's worth collecting. ”

“Do you want me to die? ”

Lee Sung-min asked me because it was ridiculous. Mesh laughs at the question.

“No, it's not. Your soul is not ripe. Yeah... if you die someday. Then hand over your soul to me. ”

“... I refuse. ”

Lee Sung-min replied, swallowing. Mortgage the soul. The mesh who suggested it felt more like a demon than a god.

“Well, I'm not asking you to answer right now. Think about it. I'll answer your questions. What do you want to ask? ”

“... The more money you make... the bigger the reward." I want to know more about the reward. ”

“Crucifixion on this mountain itself is a reward. ”

Mesh answered.

“You're feeling it, aren't you? Or are you so dull that you can't even feel it? ”

I see what you mean. Living on this mountain for three months, Lee Sung-min's shameless work progressed. To be precise, the accomplishment of the skill has improved. According to Mesh, the suffering of living on this mountain is being rewarded.

“If you get more gold, the reward will be greater. You gained speed of growth by risking two gold coins. The more gold you add there, the faster you get. But a certain and painful financial instrument is worth more than a small one. ”

“… I see. ”

Seong-min nodded his head. Mesh knew what he was thinking. Mesh added, smiling quietly.

“You want to replace your lack of talent for money and hardship. Why do you want to do that? What's the rush? ”

“... I made a promise. ”

I promised Wijihoen 10 years. No, it's nine years now. Let's meet again in nine years.

“Voice.”

Lee Sung-min raised his hand to his neck.

“Dream.”

Originally, I was going to add to the money Scarlet was taking. However, the addition of the two taboos did not seem to mean much to me. And Scarlet and Lee Sung-min are in different positions. While Lee Sung-min, who had to move roughly every day, received a gold standard for washing and changing his body, there was no remedy if he was sick.

“Four gold coins. ”

Mesh smiles mischievously.

“I'll give you a heads up. The number of taboos is getting tougher. I'm the first human to accept a four-year-old taboo... How long can you stand it? ”

The mesh mutters and reaches out to Lee Sung-min.

The first thing to disappear was his voice. Lee Sung-min opened his mouth and tried to say Moora. But there are no voices. The other one's a dream. Although it was an unambiguous gold, Lee Sung-min was already well aware of the horror of how vague gold works through the gold in 'Taste’.

“You will feel afraid to fall asleep every day. ”

The mesh is tired.

I thought it would be the same for Seong-min.

The Mesh finally disappeared in front of Lee Sung-min. I feel very awkward because I'm not used to the voice disappearing. I tried to make a voice, but I couldn't hear anything. Lee sighed and lifted a branch nearby.

Starting tomorrow, you will have to write and say like a swaxogo. Lee Seong-min approached the deer corpse that Baek Sogo brought. Eating is scary and painful, but that doesn't mean you can't eat.

You have to eat.

Lee Sung-min silently began to dismantle the dead deer. Disassembling itself was not difficult. Hard work has always been a meal. But knowing that the next meal would be terrible, Lee Sung-min's fingertips dismantled the deer were trembling.

That's disgusting.

But it didn't stop. After disassembling, Lee set a new fire on the campfire. One night, after dinner... you'll have to sleep by nightfall.

‘What kind of dream will I have? ’

Lee Sung-min endured the fear.
