Possessing Nothing

Why does the star "Little Horse" come out of here? Lee Sung-min was embarrassed and headed to the place where he heard a sound.

Just like the rest of the villagers' houses, there was a stench in this house. But there was no rotting corpse.

[I think I'm going to die soon.]

Heju grumbles. He opens the door of a half-closed room and goes inside.

On a dirty bed, a dry Kazuya lies halfway down. The floor and duvet are dirty with dirt.

I don't like the look of Rubia following after Lee Sung-min.

“You're not a little...... ”

Kazuya mutters. Although she is empowering somehow, Kazuya's eyes are cloudy grey.

It was not just invisible. Kazuya, whom I had met before, was also unmanned and on the verge of a supernova.

It was too broken now. I can't see my eyes and my body doesn't move well.

The sharp sensation of being unmanned was closed and the short circuit was broken. Kazuya was dying.

“…… Do you remember me? ”

Lee Sung-min glanced at Rubia. Rubia realizes what her eyes mean and opens her hands.

Hug between the palms of Rubia's hands, and a drop of water pops up. It wrapped around the room and disappeared. The filthy filth and dust were washed away.

“This……. ”

Kazuya looks surprised. He empowered his eyebrows and looked at her, but his eyes did not recognize her. Kazuya sighs.

“Who are you?”

“About 15 years ago, I came to this forest following the trail of Envirus. ”

“Oh... yes. It's you. I remember. He invaded our village and killed the elders of the tribe who wanted to harm the invaders. ”

I don't blame you. Kazuya adds, smiling.

“Why are you here? ”

“There's something I want to check out in the woods.... But, what the hell happened in this town? ”

It wasn't an ambush.

Lee Sung-min knew that very well. That doesn't mean they fought and died.

“It's scheduled. ”

Kazuya giggles.

“It all started so suddenly. It wasn't without a sign. We... We all have the same blood in this town. From the roots.Mix them, mix them, mix them...... Then you get weaker. Embracing a disease that even Elixirs can't control. ”

Relationships that have been passed down for generations.

“Even if we knew there was destruction at the end of those reproductions, we had no choice. The grudge of the clan was important. I don't know what it was, but everyone who was born in this town had to go for it like they were brainwashed. ”

Heju said that the people of this village are keeping the forest closed by what exists.

That is why they have not left this village, but are living in incest over and over again.

As Kazuya said, the destruction of the village was planned.

Even so, it's too sudden.

“…… Since when? ”

“About a month ago. Suddenly, I started dying. How long have you been dead?”

“All but you. ”

“I see.”

Kazuya giggles. He staggers and rises to his feet. Kazuya, who was sniffing her nose, smiles satisfactorily.

“Thanks for cleaning up. Smells familiar, but it's better to be clean. ”

“…… Do you know the Little Horse? ”

Sung-min asked about what he cared about. Kazuya reaches out to the bedside.

Open the drawer and stroke the inside with your fingertips. I noticed that the dresser was full of cliffs.

He pulls out a handful of cliffs and pours them into his mouth.

“Before the end begins. Yeah, a month ago, a few thousand horses came to town. ”

A month ago.

Lee Sung-min swallowed a gulp. At that time, it was immediately after Lee Sung-min was released from the seal.

While Lee Sung-min was looking at the situation in Germoud, Ji Ho-yeon came to this village and met Kazuya.

“She asked me politely. I want to go into the sleeping forest. I couldn't resist. His attitude was polite, but the power he felt in Sothema prevented him from rejecting it from his face. I had no reason to say no. ”

A month ago, Ji Ho-yeon went into the sleeping forest. What happened after that?

Rubia said that Wijihoen appeared in the Spirit Realm ten days ago. Was there a reason you had to come to the Sleeping Forest before entering the Spirit Realm?

“Haven't you heard why? ”

“They said it was necessary. It was vague, but I didn't dig any deeper. It doesn't matter why. ”

Kazuya mumbles as she gets out of bed. He staggers, exhaling and stretching his bent body. Lee Sung-min quietly approached and supported Kazuya's body.

“I don't know how much longer I have left. ”

Kazuya mutters.

“Our clan has been around to keep the forest closed. Now... everyone but me is dead. If I die, the forest will be completely gone. ”

“What happens then? ”

“I don't know. We just, we just existed. If I die, the forest will cease to exist...... but I don't know what happens after that. I've never done that. ”

There are old monsters sealed inside the forest. I asked about him, but Kazuya shook her head.

“I'm sorry it didn't help. ”

“I'm fine.”

Kazuya, who didn't know anything, was the same. He and the villagers have lived near this forest for centuries only to seal it.

And now everyone except Kazuya is dead.

Termination.

The word floated in Lee Sung-min's head. Osla said that this world was confirmed by the fate of the end.

Even now, the fate of the world is steadfast toward the end of the world.

At that point, the villagers who were keeping the forest sealed were killed, and now Kazuya is the only one left.

[This forest must also be connected to the apocalypse.]

Heju mutters.

And W. Ho-yeon came into this forest.

I wonder what happened. Lee Sung-min recalled the Wijiho-yeon he saw at the Moon Palace.

Wijiho-yeon saw while the space was eroding. Having not finished her battle with the Spirit Queen, she looks irritated by the sudden erosion of space.

All he said was, "We need to go into the sleeping forest." I have too little information. Did he come into these woods to stop the apocalypse?

Lee Sung-min and Kazuya stopped at the entrance of the forest. Tree vines are intertwined and blocking the way.

[Weakened.]

It was just as he had said. The forest was weaker than I had seen 15 years ago. I saw many rotten vineyards blocking the forest.

“Is it rotten? ”

“Yes.”

“But it's still there. Because I'm alive.”

Kazuya mumbles like that, staggering toward the boundary. He cuts the palm of his hand, bleeding, and brings the bloodied palm to the vine. The boundary opens with a groaning sound.

“Thank you."

“What. This must be my role. ”

Kazuya wipes her bloodied palms and replies. Lee Sung-min bowed his head to Kazuya and went into the forest.

Kieing.

Strange feeling of hypocrisy passed by Lee Sung-min. Sleeping Forest is no place for a fairy horse to enter.

Lee Sung-min tried calling the elf horse as a test, but the elf horse did not appear. As Osla said, this forest was a place in the world but not in the world.

[It's been a long time.]

Heju grinned and laughed.

[It's still a place that's been stuck for over 300 years.]

What have you been doing for 300 years? ’

[Barely slept. Or think about the old days. It wasn't much fun. I had a lot of fun with you.]

Don't say anything strange. ’

[What's a strange word? So this old man has done a lot of things for you. Ten years ago now, if this old man hadn't stepped up, you would have been completely devoured by the massacre.]

‘That…… I know. Of course I'm thankful. ’

[It's funny to hear that from a guy with a dick.]

Heju giggles and laughs. Lee Sung-min crossed the forest, ignoring the teasing words.

There was a strong feeling of camouflage throughout the space. My skin twitches. I can feel my eyes everywhere.

Lee looked around. The landscape of the ordinary forest is the only thing I can see, but I can't see anything that gives me attention.

Expanding my sensation, the result was the same. No one. Just looking.

“… ugh……. ”

The same was true of Rubia's gaze. Lee Sung-min points at his heart, looking at the vibrating Rubia.

Rubia nods her head and turns into a sphere of light, sneaking into the arms of Lee Sang-min. I took out my spear, just in case.

Something is looking at that kind of person. Just watching, the owners of the gaze did not act.

Monsters sealed up a long time ago.

Lee went forward ignoring the horror. Soon, Lee Sung-min arrived at the first rock I met with Heju.

Lee Seong-min glanced at the rock. At first, Heju was waiting for Lee Sung-min in the form of a huge flame on that rock. Hungry laughs, panting.

You made it past the rocks. I've never been beyond this. The more you move forward, the stronger you feel.

The gaze became obvious. It barely caught the sun, so it was dark around me. Lee Seong-min stopped.

I don't know what to say.

Lee Seong-min stood up and looked ahead. Something stands in the darkness of Sackhaman Forest.

It is not called ‘something.’ Lee Sung-min knew very well who that was.

Lee went slowly into the darkness. She looks at reason, not moving in the dark.

My heart ached.

My heart was beating fast enough that I thought it might explode. She looks at the approaching Lee Sung-min and says nothing.

I wanted to say a lot.

I wanted to ask you a lot of questions.

I'm not the only one. Seong-min thought, holding his trembling hand tightly. We know each other well. Most of the "first" experiences with Ji Ho-yeon were with Lee Sung-min.

Lee saw the face of Ji Ho-yeon who was standing in the dark. whether it's smiling, whether it's crying, whether it's anger, whether it's everything.

Ji Ho-yeon was looking at Lee Sung-min with a complicated expression. It was close to Wijihoen. Lee Sung-min reached out to Wei Ji-ho-yeon.

Sung-min's hand passed through Ji Ho-yeon's body.

I knew it. I could see it, but Wijihoen isn't here. Unlike what it looks like, I don't feel the wit of W. Hoenn at all.

Lee Sung-min smiled bitterly. I saw Lee Sung-min laughing and smiled with him.

Can you hear it?

We have to check it out. Lee Sung-min opened his mouth and spoke to Wei Ji Ho-yeon.

“I missed you. ”

After a little silence, Weijihoyen replied.

“So am I. ”

The sound comes and goes. Hearing that makes my heart tremble stronger. Lee Sung-min raised his hand and pressed his chest.

“What are you... doing here...? ”

“It became funny. I went there to kill the Spirit Queen, but I guess I was a little shorthanded. ”

“What about the Queen of Spirits? ”

“He's wandering somewhere different from me. But she's better off than me. I was completely caught between the cracks in the room, and she found a way out. ”

He said that as if he was fine, but Lee could not accept it easily. It crossed between the gaps in the space.

I didn't know the story very well, but it must have been a serious situation.

“How can I save you? ”

“Impossible.”

He shrugged his shoulders, saying that. His gaze intensifies. He empowers his eyes and looks behind Wijihoen's back. There were countless corpses.

“It was quicker than I expected, but it had to be done. ”

“…… what are you doing? ”

“Killing monsters. ”

Ji Ho-yeon replied.

“There are many monsters sealed in these woods. The Queen of Spirits, the coincidence that she created, allowed me to enter this room. ”

I can't touch you now, thanks to you.

Ji Ho-yeon muttered and reached out his hand. Like when Lee Sung-min did, Ji Ho-yeon's hand went through Lee's face.

“Still... I'm glad we could see with our own eyes and talk. ”

Ji Ho-yeon smiled faintly.

“I'm doing this for you. ”
