Possessing Nothing

“You're unusual. ”

The mesh mutters. Aside from the sound of the Mesh's voice, there is no sound other than noise in Lee Sung-min's ears, who has been forbidden to hear. Lee stopped the window and looked back. I was looking at Lee Sung-min with the mesh crouched.

“A year and a half has passed since you entered this mountain. Soon you'll have to get a new funding. ”

It's time already. Lee passed the head that had been blindfolded to the side. What should I receive next gold? Currently, Lee Sung-min had six golden rules. It was also unprecedented. There are a lot of acolytes who visit this mountain, but not a lot of acolytes get what they want.

“I've never seen a guy like this in a row class. ”

Of course I will. A dizzy oak class can't even survive on this mountain. What about Muslims and wizards?

“They don't do this. ”

The mesh sighs and smiles. I don't want to do it on this mountain unless it's frantically poisonous. No, I try to, but I can't. It's the same with Muslims and wizards. What you need to survive on this mountain is desperation. Without desperation, we will not survive this mountain.

“To be honest, I thought you wouldn't last half a year. ”

Of course, Lee Sung-min smiled bitterly. Had it not been for the help of Baek Sogo, he would have run away without lasting half a year.

“Maybe it's because you died once. What do you hope to accomplish in this life? ”

Mesh was genuinely curious about it. I have ruled this mountain as a god of trials and persecution, and I have seen many practitioners, but I was the first human being like Lee Sung-min. I died once and came back to the past. It is uncommon for a creature to have a twisted causal rate against death.

A better life.

Lee Sung-min replied with a stifling lip.

Goals you want to cross.

Then I answered, and I want to see the end.

Finally, I said so. Everyone did. It was more desperate than a clear goal. Finished. The mesh opens its mouth and mutters.

“The end of what? ”

No balls.

“You are mortal, yet you want the end of nothing. To see the end of something, the time allowed to man is short. If you truly want to see the end of nothingness, you will have to leave the mortal behind and become transcendent. ”

The mesh giggles and says. That means it's impossible. The cause of mortality is not something you can take off easily to take off. Of course, there is no precedent for escaping the cause of mortality.

“All beings have possibilities. But the possibility is the only possibility. It is a talent to enlighten the possibilities, and those with such talents are called geniuses. And among those few geniuses, the only ones who have gained immortality out of mortality is hundreds of years and thousands of years. You think you can do that? ”

I don't know

I didn't say I couldn't.

I said I don't know.

Lee Sung-min has changed. Humans can change. Like Ji Ho-yeon said, Lee Sung-min changed. I knew I wasn't talented, but I didn't want to lose to him.

I hated the word effort.

Now I'm quite fond of it.

“... you're unusual. ”

The mesh mutters. He slowly wakes up and approaches Lee Sung-min.

“God is fickle. Everybody's a God with a personality. Yes, this is my whim. A whim, not a leak. ”

Mesh mutters something he doesn't know what to say. Lee Sung-min, who was swinging the spear, stopped the spear because of the peculiar feeling of hypocrisy felt in the Mesh's words.

“And soliloquy. ”

Sounds like an excuse to someone else. Mesh narrowed his eyes and looked at Lee Sung-min.

“There are no accidents in the world. At least in this world. In Eria.”

What's that supposed to mean?

Lee Sung-min asked with a squirming lip. The mesh turns around. It was to avoid seeing the question of Lee Sung-min.

“Eria summons humans from all dimensions for no reason. There are many summoned Humans, and Eria has nothing to do with the summoned Humans in this world. Live. That's all. ”

I... know about him. How inhospitable the whole damn world is. Then why are you saying that all of a sudden? Lee Sung-min tilted his head and looked at the back of the mesh.

“The same privilege applies to every successor on that subject. A convenient perk that makes learning about 'skills.' very easy. It exists for a good reason. ”

What the hell are you talking about? Lee Sung-min felt a strong question in his mind, but he couldn't ask the Mesh. Given Mesh's attitude, he didn't seem to be able to answer the question, and he had an intuition that he shouldn't.

“Yes, there's a reason for everything. There's a reason the causal rate is distorted, and if it's back in time, there's a reason to go back in time. Even if it seems like a well-packed coincidence. ”

Something's up. Lee is silent. The mesh was still not looking at Lee Sung-min. As Mesh said earlier, this was Mesh's soliloquy.

“If you're starting to come back, that means something has to happen. If you come back, you'll have to be ready. To be the right one for the reason I came back. ”

Okay, that's it. The mesh mutters. She stops speaking, but does not look back on her rational mind. Instead, Mesh glanced at the sky, frowning.

“Enough. This is my territory. If you don't want to perish, you'd better not come. ”

The mesh warns you with a small voice. I... felt something... cold. Lee Sung-min swallowed his breath. As the mesh turned, the cold that Lee Sung-min felt disappeared.

“Get out of this mountain, and when you get a chance, go to Drimoor." Tell Denir, the God of Time, there that the Mesh has sent him. ”

God of Time? What is that?

Lee Sung-min asked with a squirming lip. Lee Sung-min had memories of living in his previous life, but he had never heard of the existence of the God of Time. The mesh sighs and smiles, reaching out to Lee Sung-min.

“Not really. Humans don't know. ”

With the muttering of the mesh, Lee Sung-min's head became clear and bright. Lee staggered and put his hand on his head. Seong-min had not experienced it, and the unknown memory was firmly stuck in the corner of Lee's head. Lee Sung-min didn't know the city of Drimur, but he could think of a city called Drimur. I also learned about the existence of Denir, the god of time, who lives in hiding there.

Why are you doing this to me?

Lee Sung-min asked. The mesh laughed at the question.

“Didn't I tell you? God with character is a pervert. It's just a whim, like I'm talking to myself. ”

Mesh says so, crouching back to his seat.

“You're quite interesting and interesting. There doesn't seem to be any possibility... Why did you come back? I thought there might have been some mistake, but I know for a fact there are no coincidences in this world.... Also, you've overcome my ordeal. ”

Crucible?

Living on this mountain? Seong-min tilted his head. Yes. Living on this mountain was harsh enough to call it a trial. Especially as the gold standard grows, every day gets harder.

“Flam.”

The mesh opens its mouth.

“The existence of Flam is the trial of the Mesh. ”

The moment I heard it, I didn't understand what it meant.

Flam, the longest living acolyte on this mountain. Even Baeksugo and Vice Joon said it. You don't want to see him. You get desperate when you meet them. That was true. When I first met him. Lee Sung-min was desperate. He was desperate for the brilliant talent that a real genius had.

“It is the trial of the mesh itself that exists to despair the practitioner of this mountain. Humans who are not desperate for him struggle and advance for possibility. You... did better than I expected. I threw you into a harder ordeal so you wouldn't be left behind by a genius who's not a genius. It wasn't the right answer, it was the ignorant one, but it doesn't make it wrong. Rather, I liked your ignorant answer. ”

There was a clue.

In the memory of Lee Sung-min's previous life, there was no name Flam. Thinking about it, it was strange. Given his genius and personality, he could easily leave this mountain and make a name for himself. But why haven't I heard of him? What was he doing on this mountain for, and why, after living so long, he appeared to have received no sanctions on the surface?

That's an easy answer. He was a man who didn't exist in the first place. The trial of the mesh that exists to despair the acolytes who live on this mountain. That was the existence of Flam. It always has been. Whenever he came to visit her, he tried to despair her.

I laughed at Lee Sung-min's efforts and laughed at Lee Sung-min's performance. Don't do it because you don't have the talent. You scoff that no matter how hard you try, you can't keep up with the genius. The arrogantly unparalleled narrative seemed to want only despair from rational people.

Then... go.

Lee Sung-min replied with a grumpy lip. I know... now. Fleam was the one who told me to do it. It was a trial aimed solely at despairing the practitioner. And then, one day, he no longer appears.

It was when Lee was no longer desperate.

“You've done well. ”

Mesh smiled and said.

“What I've taught you... is a reward for overcoming trials. Of course, it's up to you what you get out of the rewards I give you. ”

The mesh rises.

“A white cow. Don't tell the mute who Flam really is. Because if I do, I'm gonna have to get you two off this mountain.”

The mesh disappears, leaving a note behind. Lee Sung-min stood still for a while and put together what the Mesh said in his mind. There are no accidents. The pagans summoned to this world were summoned for a reason. Likewise, if I could go back in time. I came back for a reason.

"To me?"

Lee Sung-min stared down at his hand dazed.

Class C mercenaries. A row class that started with nothing. 13 years in the gutter.

Was there a reason for me to come back to that life?

One in doubt.

If you come back, you'll have to be ready. To be the right one for the reason I came back.

What Mesh said floated through my mind. Lee Sung-min raised his spear silently.

Not to be the right one, though.

Lee had an end he wanted to see.

The Nine Heavenly Moon Palace was opened.
