Possessing Nothing

[270] Abel (2)

It was not that they did not understand Abel's words. His own being who died and returned to the past. Every time I met her, I got a ticket in my ear.

Lee Sung-min was silent. He returned to the past. He knew how this world was going to go for the next 13 years.

Yes, the only person in the world who knew the future for 13 years.

So, he became an observer of the future for the next 13 years.

But he didn't live the same as in the past.

Lee Sung-min, who was a class C mercenary, became the master of transcendence. I met with Wijihoyeon. The Baek Sogo that was supposed to die was lived by Lee Sung-min. In addition, numerous changes were made with the intervention of Lee Sung-min.

In addition to the intervention of Lee Sung-min, many things have changed because of him.

The fate that should have flowed according to the memory has flowed differently because of the rational person.

Distortion, variables, and the thirteen-year future that Lee Sung-min remembers is over. Lee Sung-min is 27 years old, and he doesn't know what's going to happen.

That's the end.

“…… Am I bringing an end to this? ”

“It's not ‘you,’ it's a regretter back in the past who brings an end. ”

“Then, what is the world in my past life? There was an apocalypse in the world? ”

“Maybe so. ”

There is no way to find out about him. A stone from a lifetime ago. It appeared in a dungeon. What if someone else grabbed the stone from a past life, died...... and returned to the world where Lee Seong-min used to live? If so, another end may have come after the point that the unknown observer remembers.

“Was I supposed to die? ”

Lee Sung-min asked with a dumb voice. Abel told me that no one had told him the truth.

The existence of the rational people who have returned to the past has brought an end to this world.

What would have happened if Lee Sung-min had died before? If he had died first, would he not have come to an end?

“The blessings of fate have been watching over you. Before now, you could not die even if you wanted to. Any luck? ”

In response to the question, Lee Sung-min shut up again. Here's the thing: Before I turned 27, when I was 14 years old and 13 years old, I had a variety of crises.

But none of them had ever truly been killed. How many times did fate save Lee Sung-min from crisis?

Even when I almost got killed by Prescan. After that, the black heart. There was a time when a private shareholder intervened and saved Lee Sung-min.

“…… what I've been able to live with. Was it the blessing of fate? ”

“You will die at the age you die. I was supposed to survive the time you remember. The end begins when you reach a world you don't know. But not from now on. Fate will no longer protect you. Your existence has been lost from the moment you arrived at this time. ”

Abel mutters and bursts into laughter.

“That's why my brother is an idiot. I didn't want to face the fate of destruction, so I ran away and got caught up in it. I didn't know anything and tried to kill you... But I couldn't kill you. The only thing that protected you was the fate my brother wanted to avoid. ”

Abel mutters. After a brief silence, Abel opens his mouth.

“This world is a strange place. ”

Abel's eyes frown.

“Eria. Every day, this world summons people from a different dimension. No balls, no wizards, no science. But one of them is missing. What do you think it is? ”

“Science.”

“That's right. Very few of them are summoned to Eria by scientists compared to artisans and magic. The ones we call no class. Who have been summoned from a world with no balls, no magic. They remember the civilization in which they lived, but are almost ignorant of science. ”

Like he said, Lee Sung-min also lived in Korea in the 21st century. I clearly remember it even though it was a long time ago. A plane flying in the sky. Car. Train. Weapons, guns, you name it.

“Eria doesn't just call people at random. Think about it.A shaman or magic is an individual's strength. No matter how good a workbook or wizard you are, you can't learn it properly unless you have a lot of talents. Only the chosen geniuses are good at handling them. But what about science? What about the technology that's built on them? You don't need great skills to use it. As long as it's complete. ”

Abel takes a swift sip of the tea, whether it's burning or ready.

“Of course we are. They're combining the absurd things they've heard with magic to complete and evolve to some degree. So is the magic train. In the Wizard's Guild, we study flying machines that carry thousands of people around, called airplanes. I think that's how it's balanced. By magically replacing a high-quality technology. This world... is that world. I'm thinking. ”

“Magic, work and science are designed to coexist? ”

“Yes. There is little magic in the world where they exist. That's what magic is all about. In a magically rich world, there's hardly any advanced high-grade body skills like shambles. ”

“…… there was no magic or shamanism in the world I lived in. ”

In response, Abel nodded again.

“It is clear that someone has created this world and is summoning the right people in each dimension of the world. It must be the fact that magic and aerospace and technology intermingle and evolve. They say the technology has been greatly outmoded. Magic has merged and is advancing in a completely different direction. ”

“The Emperor of the Old File Room. ”

The tetrarch opened his mouth.

“Even a shaman's shaman, with the same name. If the dimensions used to be different from each other, there are many differences even if the same equation exists. Even though it's a shampoo made by the Longevity Monk, it makes a lot of difference. Those shamans are being reinterpreted and merged in Eria's shamanism. ”

“It's the same with magic. Even with the same fireballs, Manat and the finer rituals are different. The reason wizards' guilds are constantly recruiting newly summoned wizards is how different their magic is from their existing magic. To find out what is different and which is superior, and to make it more advanced. It's like...... using us who live in this world to create ‘complete’ shamanism or magic, isn't it? ”

“Are we being reared? ”

“Maybe so. ”

The air is heavy.

“…… what is the end? ”

The tetrarch opened his mouth.

“The end of the world? I don't get it. That idiot's apprentice is back in the past, and that's how it's gonna end? No, I don't think so. That's what this world was supposed to end in the first place. Why is that planned? ”

“I'm not sure what the end is. If there is an Apostle of the Apostle of the Apostle, it is the Apostle who comes and kills all the world. But this is just a guess. I don't know how the end comes, or why it exists. But I don't want to die. ”

Abel empowered me. Abel's story ended there. Abel wasn't entirely aware of what the end was.

“…… Did you know about this? ”

Lee Sung-min put his hand in his arms. What he took out was a golden key. Abel tilted his head, and Lee Sung-min explained the key.

I entered the dungeon where I had the stones from before, and the moment I grabbed them, they turned into keys.

“…… I don't know what it is. ”

Abel stares at the key and mutters. Having heard that the bound enchantment is bound, Abel doesn't touch the key.

Abel used magic to detect the key.

“I can't. ”

Abel mutters in an annoying voice.

“I'm sure it's an unusual object. I don't know what it is. ”

Abel gives up quickly. Lee was a little embarrassed and asked because he gave up so quickly.

“Don't you want to try some more? ”

“I am the greatest wizard in the world. If it's something I can't do, no wizard can figure out what it is, so there's no need to use any more power. ”

It was an arrogant horse.

“Whatever it takes. Runju, I don't want to die. So we fight the apocalypse. I hope the Sovereign Lord will help me. ”

“Are we uniting against an end we don't know what? ”

“Isn't it better than waiting by your hand? ”

“That's right. ”

The tetrarch nods. He glanced at the Lee Sung-min who was sitting next to him. The poacher spoke to Lee Sung-min, who chewed his lower lip tightly.

“Don't be an idiot. ”

“You have no idea what I'm thinking. ”

“Don't blame yourself. ”

The words of Lee Sung-min were blocked.

“One says you've brought an end to this world. You're not responsible for that. You just got caught up in it. And...... your role won't be all you've survived to bring about the end. ”

“What do you mean? ”

“Osla would have told you. You're gonna have to make a choice someday. ”

Obviously, Osla, whom I met in the Fairy Forest, told that to Lee Sung-min.

He said to be loyal. Live every day to avoid regrets later.

Osla told me about the Apostle of the Apostle of the Apocalypse. In other words, the end was predestined for a long time.

The end.

The Apostle of the Apostle of the Apostle fulfills the end.

What about me?

Osla doesn't have any answers to those questions. Because of this, Lee Sung-min thought that he was an apostle of the Apostle of the Apocalypse.

To some extent, that was true. Because Seong-min has lived so far, the world is facing an end.

But...

Nothing is set yet.

Osla must have said that. The mesh said something similar to Osla's.

Why you came back.

There was a mistake, wasn't there?

There are no coincidences in this world.

If it comes back to the past, there is a reason to come back to the past.

If you come back, something will happen that you should come back for, and if you come back, you will have to prepare.

‘To be the right one for the reason I came back. ’

Abel told me that as soon as we reached this time, the value of existence was lost to Lee Sung-min.

The existence value of Lee Sung-min lived for more than 13 years and observed a world he did not know. But Mesh and Osla had already told Lee Sung-min before.

‘It's not gone. ’

Sung-min chewed his lower lip well. Yeah, it's not gone. Lee Sung-min hasn't experienced what he needs to return to the past yet.

I didn't even become one for the reason I came back. Nothing is set yet. I think back to what Osla said.

There's no such thing as a fixed word.
