Possessing Nothing

Lee Sung-min doesn't enjoy killing.

It was the same in my past life, and it's the same now. I have never felt pleasure in killing another person. It was natural for rational people to think that they didn't want to kill unless they had to.

But if I have to.

Feel the sharp flesh. Everyone in the village was perceiving and attempting to kill rational people as enemies. Lee Sung-min glanced at Kuromaru's corpse. I didn't have the will to save him, so I let him. Should I have saved you? Seong-min suddenly thought about it.

It's too late to think now. He walks forward with a self-defense brace around his body. At the height of his super-strength, he was able to freely use the self-reinforcing machine. Strength can be used too much even in the peak times of Lee Sung-min, but the strength that can be used at that time and the strength that Lee Sung-min is doing now cannot be compared qualitatively or efficiently.

“Can you hear me?”

Sung-min asked me with his voice. A loud voice echoes far away. Although the direction of the assassination did not change, Lee Sung-min decided that they were not very ignorant barbarians, seeing that there were no subsequent attacks.

“I don't want to fight you. I'd like to get it out in a conversation, if possible. ”

Again. Lee Sung-min said out loud. After a while, my life fell apart. Then a man jumped over the fence and fell in front of Lee Sung-min.

‘Master.'

Lee judged the man by his refined prayers. A super-pretty hard worker who completed a rebuke. But I didn't seem to be a transcendent unmanned person, even to the reactionary gyre. The middle-aged man looked at Lee Sung-min's face and asked.

“Who are you? ”

“I'm Lee Sung-min. ”

I did not take possession of it. Instead, Lee Sung-min replied with a slight baptism. The man looked into the eyes of Lee Sung-min and listened to Lee Sung-min's progress.

“You're odd. Wei and Siege are already on the verge of a supernova, but they seem to be looking farther away. ”

The man mutters in a small voice. Lee Sung-min asked the man without answering.

“Who are you? ”

“It's Caz.”

Kazuya replies. It's a name I remember. The name of the head of the household of the Kuromaru family was Kazuya, not a previous memory.

“Like I said, I don't want to fight you. ”

“Then it's us. Thank you. A lot of people would have died if you had tried. There aren't many clans, but I don't want to reduce my head count anymore. ”

“Why did you kill Kuromaru? ”

“Punishment is necessary. ”

Kazuya replied without changing her face.

“Elder Nobuhiro must have died. I can't help it. You knew the difference, so it's only natural to be responsible for your own death now that you ignored him and waged a fight. But I saw the death of an elder in front of me, and I didn't kill myself, and I didn't resist. The young man who brought the enemy directly to town must be punished. ”

Kazuya looked down at Kuromaru's body and said, It seemed to be the first order of business in this closed village.

“I'll take you as a guest in the village. ”

Kazuya reaches out. Lee looked at his hand and held Kazuya's hand.

“Come in.”

I accompanied Kazuya, the family's household owner, into the village, and no one stopped her. Lee Sung-min had a lot of questions, but first he followed Kazuya home. And while you're at it, the townhouses you saw were godfathers.

The minute looked poor.

“If you're an expert like Kazuya, you can be treated outside. ”

“You're younger than me. And you're stronger than me. I don't want to give up on the big world. That's why we live in these narrow woods. ”

Kazuya smiles and says. Kazuya led Lee Sung-min to a Japanese house. Lee Seong-min thought for a moment about what Kazuya said, "It's a big world." But she didn't tell Kazuya about her thoughts.

“Do you know Envirus? ”

In the room with Kazuya, Lee Sung-min sat across from Kazuya. Kazuya nods at the top question.

“I know. ”

“Where is he? ”

“She left the forest about two months ago. ”

Kazuya replied, saying that Lee Sung-min frowned. Followed the trail of Envirus, based on the information purchased through Erebresa, but I didn't think it would be easy to meet Envirus here.

“Do you know where he went? ”

“I don't know.”

The problem is this. If we've come all this way and Envirus hasn't left any trace, then it's a problem for Lee Seong-min to track Envirus down. Envirus' latest location in the information purchased through Erebrisa is here, in the sleeping forest.

“… What did Envirus do in these woods? ”

“Why are you after Envirus? ”

Asking questions, Lee Sung-min narrowed his eyes and stared at Kazuya. Kazuya gives a low smile to the gaze.

“Don't look at me like that. ”

“… there's a reason to meet. ”

“That's why I'm curious. ”

“I can't answer that. ”

“You don't answer my questions, you ask me to answer my own questions. ”

Seong-min clenched his fist without saying a word. Kazuya, who was looking at Lee Sung-min like that, opened her mouth.

“I'm not sure if Envirus mentioned you or not. ”

“… Yes? ”

“Envirus told me before he left. In the future, someone will come to this forest and ask about Envirus. When that happens...”

Kazuya raises her body.

“I'd like to get this over with. Can we move on? ”

“It doesn't matter.”

Lee Sung-min nodded his head and jumped up.

The place where Kazuya took Lee Sung-min was outside the village. Kazuya voiced her voice towards the Lee Sung-min who was following behind her.

“Aren't you curious about your clan's grudge? ”

“I don't think asking will tell you. ”

“Actually, I can't tell you. We say we're after grievances, and we don't even know what they are. ”

Lee Sung-min couldn't understand it. He asks a question to Kazuya's back.

“Then... why are you living in these woods? ”

“Because I had to. Our souls are tied to this sleeping forest. Those born in this forest will never leave this forest. ”

“… is it a curse? ”

“Something like that. My family has lived in these woods for generations. Regenerative inbreeding weakened the body. After all, the labor and manpower of the extended clan has faded so much that it can't even be delivered properly. Soon our family will be extinct. ”

Kazuya's voice speaking about him was rather serene. Like I was waiting for that ending.

“I don't know what the family motto is. Maybe there was no grumbling in the first place. Maybe it's for the young who are going to be born next time, and to force them to give them a sense of purpose. But it's clear that our clan cannot leave this forest and is guarding something at the end of this forest. ”

“… Guard…? ”

“No. Should I call this protection? ”

Kazuya tilts her head as if she didn't know it herself.

“The noble name drives the weak mad. It would be impossible to live in these forests if the divine inclination hadn't crossed the cliffs. The young don't know when to take medicine and listen to it in order to resist the noble name. The deeper the forest, the stronger the nobility. I don't know if you can hold out. ”

“I think I can make it. ”

“Hehe! It's hard to resist a noble name, even if you're a superhero. It's an attack on the mind. I have an appointment with Envirus, so I'm here to guide you... but I don't know if you can hold out. ”

Kazuya stops.

It was a mystical sight. The tangled trees were forming a huge wall, and it was tearing a huge forest in half. Lee Sung-min, who was looking at him, shifted his gaze towards Kazuya.

“What's this? ”

“A wall. Don't you see? ”

“I know it's a wall. ”

“You can't cross this wall without the family's consent. Would you like to test it? ”

Kazuya turned around and asked. Kazuya makes an evil expression that does not suit her age.

“If you succeed in forcing this wall through...”

“What can I get you? ”

“Well, now that I think about it, there's nothing I can give you. How about a test? ”

Lee Sung-min laughed, groaning at the explicit suggestion. He crosses Kazuya with a spear in his back. When Lee Sung-min raised the window, the strength of the purple curled the window.

Kuaaang! A huge explosion erupts as you thrust your spear forward. However, the walls of the tree did not break at all. Even though it was not power, it was like this. Lee looked at the wall of the tree with his eyes wide open.

“Right? Power doesn't pierce it. Envirus didn't make it through. ”

“Then how did you get in? ”

“I let him in. I was told to let you in. ”

It was an unknown word. Kazuya walked past Lee Sung-min. He reaches out to the wall of the tree, his lips hanging open. The little sound was a spell in an unknown language.

The wooden wall that had been entangled disappeared.

“I can't go any further. ”

Kazuya turns around with her backpack. Lee Sung-min was looking at Kazuya's back for a while. Then I turned around. Where the wall disappeared, there was a crooked path. Lee looked at the road for a moment and stretched his feet forward.

Oh, I see.

Ahh.

Ahhhh.

My ears are ringing. A noble name. The unknown sound that caused those who went to sleep in the forest to lose consciousness was more, more, and more, tapping the rational mind. The more steps forward, the greater the nobility. It's not just the loss of consciousness. This was a sound that drove me crazy. The vile ominousness was shaking like crazy, gripping the soul of the rational person.

“Huff.”

Lee Sung-min swallowed his breath. It wasn't hard to bear. It was just annoying to endure. This was a powerful psychological attack. It is hard to resist the noble name, even if you are a superstar. I don't know what Kazuya said. Lee Sung-min felt frustrated. Even though Sim, Gigi, and Siege are masters of the New Year, it will be difficult to resist this abominable nobility.

But it wasn't Lee Sung-min. 2100 years spent in the spirit world have destroyed and rebuilt the mind of Lee Sung-min many times. In the process, he gained madness. Contradictively, however, his madness became tens of hundreds of times stronger than before.

It doesn't collapse. Keep walking. I feel annoyed but do not drink. The crooked path was an open road. I looked around, and strangely, I couldn't see any trees. Only cloudy fog spreads thickly.

“Confused.”

A deep voice shook the room. Lee stopped walking.

“Causality is absolute. It's not uncommon for a creature to twist. That's why I'm confused. The guy who came to see me a while ago was also a perverted causality, so I got him in by mistake. ”

The fog lifts. Lee takes another step forward.

“Answer me, you twisted causality. Are you the one who came back? ”

The voice asks, "Lee Sung-min keeps walking." The lights begin to light up in the boiling fog. Hundreds of fireflies glow.

Lee Seong-min stopped. A black flame wags over the massive rock.

“What do you mean? ”

Lee Sung-min asked, "The flames that were shaking on the rocks are inflamed."

“I asked if he had returned. ”

“What does it mean to be back? ”

“Do you know death? ”

Immediately, when Lee Sung-min was about to answer, he digs into the room and an electrical current flows. You look at him, and the flames rumble and laugh.

“What a fucking ploy. If I hadn't fallen like this, I wouldn't have let you play tricks on me. ”

“If I had, my master wouldn't have made it out of these woods. ”

The current that was flowing coalesced into one form. It's a little robe upside down? It was a girl. Lee Seong-min glanced at her and asked.

“Who are you again? ”

“Envirus' steward. ”

It wasn't real. The magic engraved in this room has only transferred the consciousness here. The flames seem unpleasant toward Envirus' chariot.

“That sucks. I can't believe you didn't let me talk to you. ”

“Because you're evil. ”

“Hahaha! Are you judging me for a toy doll? Even your master can't judge me! ”

The flames burst into laughter. The voice of the flame grows, and the number of lights in the fog grows.

“Can't you let me understand first? ”

That's what Lee Sung-min said.
