Possessing Nothing

“It may sound a little strange, I wanted to be a woman. ”

Rich feels good. So you speak nonsense, and Rich's nonsense sounds as strange as he told you before. Not a little, but a lot.

Lee Sung-min, bound in chains, was facing the wall against his back. The chain holding the limb was impossible to tear off, no matter how hard you pulled it out.

“Not a woman, to be exact... I wanted to be able to give birth to a child. Oh, of course, men can make babies. That is, technically, not to give birth to a child, but to help give birth to a child. ”

I don't know what the difference is. Lee Sung-min was unable to answer or ask questions. I want to open my lips, but I can't lose them. It was magic like that.

“I've tried this kind of magic. I couldn't change my natural gender. The only thing that can change gender is the polymorphic magic of a dragon born from the beginning, and humans cannot use polymorphs. You know why? Causality. ”

Causal rate, Causal rate. I had heard it many times, but I could not fathom what it was. In Lee's compulsory silence, Rich continued to move.

“Eventually, I was desperate for magic. So I became Rich. A curse to devote my soul and body to the forced immortality. But, well, I was satisfied. Mado's path is endless, and I've been walking the road for a long time, but I still can't see the end. Walking the invisible path... It's scary, but it's fun. It's good to be passionate. It's so much fun."

Rich giggles and laughs. I don't know what happened to Xeon and the other Class S mercenaries. They were thrown into the other room, and Rich no longer cared about them. Lee Sung-min came to this room with Rich.

“I have walked the path of Mado for a long time, and my longing for humanity has never come true. I've lost my body. Even if I could complete the magic of becoming a woman, I couldn't use it. Hehehe! That's a contradiction. But not necessarily. ”

Rich smiled for a long time and looked at Lee Sung-min. I didn't see any emotions in the blue light that appeared beyond the clumped darkness. Nonetheless, Seong-min could feel the frenzy in Rich's voice.

“Even if I can't have children, there is a way to make children. ”

Lee continued to try to move his body. Move your arms, move your legs. I tried to open my lips. But it doesn't move. The enchantment was too powerful. A rich man who ridiculed Zeon and Bern as SS grade mercenaries. I don't know his name, but the overwhelming power Rich has shown me has surpassed the commonsense box.

“Chimera is a fascinating subject of research. ”

The voice of frenzy was insanely cozy and kind. Of course, it was only that Lee Sung-min felt that way, and in the midst of that feeling, it was clear that it was not Lee Sung-min who was facing the emotion embedded in Rich's voice.

“Creating a life completely different from existing life materials... This does not satisfy my longing since I was a human being. Even if it's not born in my body. Well, it makes no difference. If it's a life I created, it's a child I gave birth to. ”

Rich's movements have stopped. The enchanted group that covered the floor felt ominous, even to Lee Sung-min who was not familiar with magic.

“Causality is irresistible. Normal humans are bound by inevitable causality. Against it means that it itself has touched transcendent convenience. ”

Rich mutters and turns away. Lee Sung-min, tied to the wall, stared at Rich's face. The warning Kim Jong-hyun gave was in Lee's head. Kim Jong-hyun was right. Lee shouldn't have come to this dungeon.

“This is a very good day. It's also a very... lucky day. The one who saw it before, who had the same perversion in causality as you, was a monster I couldn't help it...”

Lee Seong-min's body trembled at Rich's words. Lee Lee moved his lips as he tried to make a voice, but his lips didn't fall off. Even the diaphragm was blocked, so the question lingered only in Sung-min's mouth.

“If you sacrifice your soul, my grudge will be near completion. ”

Rich raises his hands, saying so. The sorcerer carved into the floor emits an ominous glow. Rich's chant sounded like it wasn't the language of Eria in the world. Just hearing it makes my mind tingle and my eyes distorted.

I wanted to scream without circles, but my closed lips were so heavy that they wouldn't open.

The long order was completed. The sorcerer no longer shines light. Instead, the cold air took over the room and swallowed it. The exhaling breath is white and frozen. Lee Seong-min's body trembled like an asphalt in the cold that seeped into his bones.

It was taking an invisible shape. Darkness seemed to clump and white fog. When it seemed like that, it became a man, and it became a woman again. Depending on what Lee thought, it changed his appearance endlessly, and his mind was shaken by the ominous cartoon.

Fear.

Lee Sung-min was terrified. Fear is not unfamiliar. How many times have I felt fear? But the horror that I felt now was fundamentally different from the horror that I had felt so far. Something I don't know at all. The unknown creature was spreading fear that would drive him mad just to see it.

“I will.”

Rich raises his arms and kneels slowly on his knees. Rich shows off his unconscious power, kneeling down and worshipping.

The gaze of existence was on Lee Sung-min. When he faced his gaze, he thought his head had exploded. The headache that Lee Sung-min felt was so horrible that he wished the illusion that his head had exploded was real.

“… Yes? ”

A few moments later, Rich sounds surprised.

“Now, wait a minute. What do you mean by that? Something... No, it can't be. It can't be true. Why...? ”

My head hurts. My breath gets rough. Every cell was frozen in fear and the heart was beating slowly. I feel... dead. With that gaze, Lee Sung-min imagined death.

“That's... ridiculous...”

Rich mutters in a hollow voice. I took away the gaze of the one who was looking at Lee Sung-min. Huff, puff. Lee Sung-min swallowed his breath heavily. Bang, bang. The heart stops beating too slowly. Lee Sung-min trembled.

“No... no, no, no. I'll offer you another sacrifice. Yes... I mean...”

The Black Wizard rumbles. He rushes through the inside of his sleeve and picks out a large jewel. The Black Wizard places the gem on the altar, and the gaze of existence looks down at it. Darkness, mist, and jewelry swallowed him up.

And existence faded away. The magic circle that was painted on the floor is completely gone. Rich stares up into the air, sitting down on his feet, or his legs loosened.

“Sacrifices... rejected? ”

Rich mutters in a hollow voice. After looking up at the air for a long time, Rich jumps to his feet. Rich turns to look at Lee Sung-min and shakes his shoulders.

“What are you...? ”

Rather, it was something Lee Sung-min wanted to ask. I don't understand what happened.

“Even if the causation rate is distorted, it would be worthwhile as an offering... No... It would be even more important as an offering because the causation rate is distorted. Why does he say it can't be sacrificed? ”

Rich mutters in a confused voice. Rich staggers toward Lee Sung-min. Reach for Lee Sung-min with open arms. Lee Sung-min's body, which was tied to the wall, slowly flew towards Rich.

“Show me all of you! ”

Rich shouts. In the dark, a blue glare flashes. Invisible magic overwhelmed Lee's mind. It was a magic to forcibly extract memories from powerful mental funds. The Pokémon's efficiency was good, but there was a side effect that made the opposing Pokémon deadly.

What would it feel like if an ant crawled over the cortex? Lee Sung-min's body trembled. Lee Sung-min's eyes turned white. It was a sign that the mind of the rational mind was about to collapse, forcibly reading memories through magic and suppressing the mind.

I had to.

“Kuaaaak!”

Rich screams. He shivers like he was struck by lightning and sits down, shaking loudly. Lee Sung-min's eyes were still open. The trembling Lich raises his hand and tries to grab his non-existent head. It was the first headache I felt since I became Rich.

“Ahhhhh! Grrrgh!"

Sitting Rich screams. As Rich's spirit shakes, the magic that was plaguing Lee's body vanishes. Lee Sung-min fell to the ground and stretched out his strength. Rich, who was moaning for a long time, stretched out his hands and opened his distance to the rational people. Rich, half-conscious, had no idea what to do with Lee Sung-min. I just wanted to run away. Rich didn't want to understand the emotions and impulses. As I felt, I just ran away. Rich's body disappears in the room.

After a long time, the light returned to Lee Sung-min's eyes. The itchy headache had already disappeared. Lee Seong-min, who was lying on the ground, stumbled and woke up.

“W-what? ”

What happened. I couldn't understand Lee Sung-min. The magic that was crunching the body disappeared. I don't see Richie.... Where did they go? Lee hurriedly looked around. There was no Rich in the room. Stumbles through memories. Rich reaches out... and then... I don't remember the next one. I felt a violent headache and fainted for a moment.

What the hell happened while I was out? In the room that was left alone, Lee Sung-min was dumbstruck. No, that's not what matters right now. I didn't put much strength into my body, but is Lee Sung-min hiding heavily? I put my hand on the wall while swallowing. In the corner of the room were the spears received from Selgerus. Lee Sung-min took his window and approached the closed door.

We didn't know where the Black Wizard was, but it was important to get out of here first.
