Possessing Nothing

“Wasn't he dead? ”

In 10 years, Von Selgerus had the same reaction as expected. Lee Sung-min opened his eyes and smiled awkwardly at Selgerus.

“He's not dead. ”

Notice how curious Selgerus was, Lee Sung-min briefly told him about what had happened to him.

Nevel doesn't speak, but he listens to Lee Sung-min. After hearing that it was sealed, Selgerus kicked his tongue across his head.

“Oh... I've met a lot of people and had a lot of things while doing this. I've never seen anyone as tough as you. ”

“I think so, too. ”

“And I was more audacious than I had ever been. ”

In saying that, Lee Sung-min also empathized somewhat.

“How is Selgerus? ”

“I'm fine. You made me chief's apprentice. So...... you contacted me to report a survivor? ”

“That……. ”

“You can't be. ”

As Lee Sung-min blurred his words, Selgerus' expression changed. She shakes her shoulders, checking that Lee Sung-min has no spear in his hand.

“I woke up and there was nothing. ”

“Oh my God……. ”

Selgerus covers his face with both hands. A spear made of dragon bones, teeth and scales without mercy.

A spear made by the Chief, the best Dwarf blacksmith. I can't believe I lost the only spear in the world that was worth calling for.

“…… what did you lose……? ”

“I'm not sure about that. ”

“Phew!”

I wanted to give him a big insult, but Selgerus took a deep sigh and swallowed it up to his throat.

In other words, it was Lee Sung-min who prepared the ingredients, so Selgerus couldn't insult him at all. I heard the owner lost it. What are you talking about?

“Do you have any more material left? ”

Then, leaving Dwarf Village. Lee left what remained of his dragon material with Selgerus and Chief Mackendore. It's because I didn't think there was anything to use if I had more, and at that point I didn't think I would need more spears or armor.

“You have to. ”

Selgerus grunts.

“You haven't changed a bit compared to 10 years ago, right? Was he taller, had his arms longer.... ”

“Nothing.”

“Is there anything else you'd like to ask? ”

“Nothing.”

“That's comforting. It's not just a spear. I'll try to make it better than 10 years ago. ”

Selgerus grunts and turns away. The brokerage is not over yet. She comes back from behind with a spear.

“Temporarily until it's all made up. It's not rough, so it should be useful. ”

Nebel took a spear from Selgerus and gave it to Lee Sung-min. Lee Sung-min swung his spear lightly and nodded his head.

“Thank you."

That concludes the mediation with Selgerus. Originally, Nebbel would have to pay the brokerage fee, and then Nebbel would have to disappear. Nevertheless, Neville is not lost.

“Ugh.”

Nebbel looks puzzled. He whistles for a moment and sets his sights on his temples. After a while, he looked at Lee Sung-min with an embarrassed look on his face.

“…… Excuse me a moment. ”

“Yes?”

It was a moment when I became a rational person. Nebbel's body trembles. The room wiggles, and the darkness of the night, where the light of the campfire does not illuminate, engulfs Nevel's body. It wasn't Neville standing there after a while. The figure in the black cloak was the first person I had ever seen.

Human? No. Lee felt a deep glamour that he could not explain to the man in front of him. I don't even know if it's really alive. That doesn't make me feel like I'm facing the Undead.

“Nice to meet you. ”

He takes off his midsection and lowers his head politely.

“I'm Laplace. He manages Erebria. ”

“…… What business do you have? ”

Lee asked with a little caution. The man who introduced himself as Laplace did not feel like an enemy, but he felt that he was not a worthy opponent.

“Lee Sung-min. ”

Laplace called out the name of Sungmin.

“You became a member of Erebria, recommended by Mesh, Goddess of Agony and Tribulation. ”

Lee Sung-min did not answer. It was a long time ago.

“To be honest, I thought, how many times should I take away Lee's membership? ”

“…… Why? ”

“I thought your destiny was a carnage. ”

Ralph shrugs. Lee's eyebrows frowned.

If you think about it, Mesh, Denir, Osla, etc. probably knew that Lee was a carnage.

Nevertheless, why did they show a friendly stance?

If the words of the massacre are true, the transcendent beings, including Mesh, Denir, etc. must accept the fate of the world's end.

But the Mage refused him, and Mesh and Denir betrayed him in succession.

“But I thought we should watch. And that's right now. You awakened to a carnage, but you escaped that fate in the end. ”

In this world, the biggest variables created by witchcraft were Lee Sung-min and Wei Ji-hoon.

Thanks to Lee Sung-min, who was a worthless person, a lot of fate was focused on Lee Sung-min.

It resulted in a variety of variables in it, while necessarily raising Lee Sung-min to a carnage ritual.

Having a black heart. Absorbing the forces of the elderly. Eating poachers.

Osla said I'm friendly with you. What that word meant, Lee Sung-min still didn't know.

Is she friendly to Lee Sung-min, a carnage eater? No, it's not. Mesh, Oswald. I told Seong-min about ‘Choice’.

‘Osla is neutral. ’

And Osla's behavior would have changed depending on which choice he made.

Lee Sung-min did not want to be the end. That's why Osla sealed it to slow down Lee's awakening to the carnage as much as possible.

“What the hell is Erebrisa? ”

Lee Sung-min asked, looking straight at Laplace. Ralph said it was finally right to keep an eye on straight people.

If he was awakened to a complete carnage, it would be wrong to watch.

Ultimately, the unidentified brokerage guild, Erebrisa, does not want to end.

“Hundreds of years ago, a dragon disappeared completely from this world. ”

I've asked Neville about what erebrisa is before.

At that time, Nebbel avoided saying that he couldn't answer.

“The dragon was wise and great. They knew that the world was in the doom of inevitability, and that they couldn't change the doom if they used some means. ”

[Wise and great, you're taking a shit.]

Heju grumbles. Lee Sung-min ignores the reaction for a moment.

“In the end, all dragons chose to die together. ”

I knew the story. In the past, I've heard about it from the Black Dragon Coven.

“The dragons died, but they never abandoned Eria... the world they grew up in. They knew too much. The world is a breeding ground that is maintained for some purpose, and collapses whenever its purpose is achieved. that this world that we're seeing now, in fact, is a world that has been repeated many times. ”

“…… So? ”

“Dragons wanted to change the fate of this world. So, before we left this dimension, we left behind a huge magic system in the world. That's Erebrisa. ”

The qualification to become a member of Erebria is to meet the conditions to be a variable in the world.

“I see.”

Seong-min nodded his head. At that time, I didn't know what I was talking about, but I wasn't. Lee Sung-min learned a lot.

Erebria wants to change the fate of the Apocalypse. The "variables" they used to have as members refer to variables that could change the world in the end.

“Why did you appear before me? ”

“You……. ”

Ralph blurs his words.

“It was our biggest adventure yet. We're here to support you, to bring an end to it. But we trusted the Mesh who recommended you. ”

Mesh knew the identity of Lee Sung-min.

“That belief paid off. Lee Sung-min, you have escaped the fate of the carnage that must come, and become unwavered by any fate. What you don't know is that I came across you to take care of Erebrisa. and to let you know about things that are not known in the world. ”

“Which one? ”

“About the Little Horse. ”

In saying that, Lee Sung-min's expression was stiff.

“…… what do you know about her? ”

“I know a lot of things. Small-man is the biggest variable that drives the world away from the fate of the end. ”

“Why are you telling me this? ”

“It's true that the Small Horse is the biggest variable, but she is being guarded by a magician. The end of the world is slowing because the spirits betrayed us...... but we still don't believe in witches. ”

“I'm under the magician's blessing too, aren't I? ”

“Yes?”

In Sung-min's question, Ralph opened his eyes wide. He looks at Lee Sung-min for a moment and shakes his head.

“No. I don't feel the magician's blessing from you. ”

Because of that answer.

Lee was convinced of why the collapsed mind had recovered.

It was not a magical blessing, but an effect of the black heart.

The black heart in the flesh regenerated even the collapsed mind. The Black Heart given to Lee Sung-min was a stone for Lee to awaken with a carnage ceremony.

In the end, he was able to extinguish and revive the genocide ceremony.

“You are not bound by any fate. ”

“What do you want from me? ”

“I don't want something great. What we want is to stop the apocalypse. ”

[Sounds like you want something big enough.]

Hungry grumbles.

“Rumors about the Small Horses are not circulating around the world. But we know a few thousand words. ”

“…… she. Where is Ji Ho-yeon? ”

“The Little Horse is wandering around the dungeon. ”

From 10 years ago.

“Although dungeons are regularly exposed to the world, they have existed between gaps in the world since before they were exposed. And…… at the end of the world. The dungeon opens as the monsters inside the dungeon spill out. ”

That is also the end.

“The Small Horse is wandering around the dungeon alone and tearing it down. and the forces that exist in that dungeon. ”

“Isn't her actions meant to prevent the end? ”

“Like I said, we don't believe in magic. ”

Ralph shakes his head and says, The existence of Laplace begins to blur.

“Avoid encounters with witches. The spirit cannot come out of the Heurion Mountains. So don't ever go there. You may not be a carnage, you may have no destiny, but if you encounter a witch...... you may be caught in a compulsive fate by witchcraft. ”

One last warning.

Laplace's appearance disappears. Neither was Neville. It was dangerous for them to have this conversation.

Even though the dragons have disappeared from this world, the system they left behind is parasitic in a world called Eria.

They have no choice but to see the witches and spirits who are managing the world.

"Don't believe in witches"? ’

Then, can we trust Erebrisa? The question remained deep.
