Possessing Nothing

Though it was certain death that the head flew away, the flesh that became completely inhuman was slowly regenerating, gripping the soul even in that certain death.

Meanwhile, the consciousness of Lee Sung-min wandered in the darkness. In it, he forgot what was happening in ‘reality’. His consciousness wandered for a long, long time.

I was born as the son of Seong-jun Moonju at Gwangjin-gu Black Rim in Seoul, Jungwon, and have studied all kinds of work since childhood.

The innate qualities were not inadequate to discuss the highest quality, but they did not understand the reality that they had to go to college because they felt irritated by being trained and strong unconditionally. They did not listen to the school teachers and surpassed the level of their father's tattoo weapons at the age of the Black Language Gate and surpassed the walls of the supernatural cliffs.

Rather than the nagging of my parents that I had to go to a good university and get a job at a good job, I liked kicking the ball in the playground, and I enjoyed living a cheap prostitute as a daily participant who went back and forth to the PC room and did cheap mercenaries.

I was a great race of dragons and a magical manipulator. I had never seen a giant beast who made a vast forest his domain, but I wasn't afraid.

I left the PC room and went back home because I had to go to the academy and cross the forest he ruled.

The anxiety of not being able to do homework at the institute was overwhelming, but the work of the Black Literature Gate was insignificant.

The first thing I did to go beyond my father's accomplishments and discuss transcendence was to create my own shamanism, which was the scourge of Heilang.

The Black Speedway contained the fastest of the world, and magic was the first world to come when I came to my senses.

I became the star of noble blood and was considered to be the most powerful person in the world in the chaos 700 years ago.

It was not so good to have someone around, so I lived the life of a romantic and only a quadriplegic was my friend.

After completing the Heilang Incense, I went to Denir to discuss the greater prosperity and I didn't want to go to the academy because I didn't do homework.

The life of the mercenary was too dangerous to know when he would die, and while he was traveling as a romantic, he adopted Jenny and Jamie as sisters.

I returned home after catching a stone from my past life. I flew across the Lost Forest and was seized by him, suffering horribly.

When I couldn't get to the academy, I came to my senses and I was in this damn world.

I wanted to see my parents and friends, but there were two vampires with me as my adoptive daughters.

I enjoyed living with them, and as a Class C mercenary from Corona Mercenary Corps, I felt that I had no hope in the future.

In the world I came back to, I thought that I called myself the Great Mark and that I might be the best.

Hundreds of years later, the name Ju Hui Baek was forgotten and I became the second bloodline of Geniella. I didn't like the name Hematoma.

As a Class C mercenary, I met with Wijihoen. I killed my sword and became an earring, and everyone called me the Mage.

As a dragon, I have been slain in vain by the hands of a drunkard. I, I, I….

Who was it?

Memories are tangled. Aside from the soulless Eine, the current Lee, the former Lee, and Dragon Heart's former owner, the Dragon Horse and Samaritan.

The memories of the three hearts that Lee Sung-min ate were mixed with the original memories. It was enough to say that the memories that were fitted together as soon as they didn't fit into the anglers were chaos.

At the center of the chaos, he was conscious of his existence.

Very vague.

Who am I? ’

Lee looked down at his hands. Here, he was the Dragon of the Black Dragon Straw, the father of Mahjoo, the tetrarch, and Juju-hee, who was once called Zeniella and Gemini's stepfather, the noble blood. Am I a straight person with all those memories?

“Hey."

Lee looked at the direction of the sound. Heju stands with his back turned. He was staring at the chaos of memory and consciousness.

There is chaos beyond the cloudy mist. Lee Seong-min felt all kinds of emotions at the same time while looking at the back of her negligence.

What he felt the most was the feeling of a dragon that had died to Heju hundreds of years ago.

Even after being unilaterally killed, the only emotion left for the dragon was a constant fear.

“What did you see? ”

“… many things. ”

“Are you afraid of me? ”

“No.”

The feeling of fear faded and disappeared completely. It was a world of consciousness that had come many times. Here, Lee always met Heo Joo.

“…… why am I…… here……. ”

“She blew your head off. ”

Why? Why is the adopted daughter...? No, this is not my memory. Lee Sung-min wrapped his hands around his head.

“You're confused. ”

“I feel... awful... awful... like I'm not... me..." ”

This was the first time. Three so far. Lee has devoured the power of others with the power of the Black Heart.

Horse, dragon, blood. Most of that predatory power remained almost nothing for Lee Sung-min, and he did not grow that much.

All the memories that had never been conscious were floating around this world. Heju glanced at it quietly.

“It's been a while.”

Heju opens his mouth.

“Embedded in your consciousness, it's been over a decade. All this time...... I've looked at you closer than anyone else. And I knew what your fatal flaw was. ”

“…… What are you trying to say? ”

“Soul and body discomfort. ”

Heju smiles bloody.

“You've always had that risk in your body. I can't help it. You had a complicated body. You're a complete monster, you're a dislocation, and you're still incomplete. You've always had that imperfection, and you've solved it in your own way. But... it wasn't always completely resolved. ”

“Come now. ”

“I am a horse. ”

Heju slowly turns away. I've seen it many times in this world. But the look on his face was unfamiliar.

“I needed to be sure. I had a hunch, but no way. That's what I was thinking. I didn't feel bad for you either. I'm ashamed to say this, but I hated it. That you don't need me. ”

“What are you talking about.... ”

“It's because of me. ”

Isn't it easy to understand? Heju laughed.

“There are two consciousness in one body. The subject is you, but I've always been a parasite in the corner of your consciousness, occupying a corner of this vast world of consciousness. Tell me, what threatened you before you became a complete monster? ”

“…… carnage……. ”

“To be precise, it was the possibility of mutating into a monster. What was it given? It was me.”

“Not now...! ”

“Do you really think so? ”

He smiled bitterly at Lee Sung-min who shouted.

“Why are you imperfect even though you have become the body of a complete monster? Why you are imperfect even after the carnage is gone. Because your body outperforms your consciousness? Because your predatory powers are not entirely your own? No, it's not. Your consciousness is maturing enough. Look, everything you've gained from your predation has been in here. You just didn't feel it. ”

“But now……. ”

“Because I'm getting close to the end. ”

Heju shook his head and cut off Lee Sung-min's words.

“Ever since I came out of the sleeping forest, I have been pushing the limits of what remains of this shape. And now the real end is near. ”

“Don't be ridiculous, it can't be. Your existence made me incomplete? You haven't disappeared yet. But I have all the memories I never knew...! ”

“Because your flesh desires it. ”

Heju smiled and said.

“Flying head is a deadly wound that cannot be resurrected, no matter how powerful you are at regeneration. But your body is relentlessly trying to save you. By devouring Eine's black heart, your aim was to maximize the performance and evolutionary potential of the human body. In this extreme crisis, your superior body somehow survived and found the answer to victory in battle. ”

That's what Heju said, and handed over the hand holding the back. The face of Lee Sung-min who saw it was rigid.

There was no sign of that big hand. Slightly from the wrist, the body of the dummy was scattered to dust.

“to completely exclude the imperfections within you. Well, it was scheduled. I was a body that didn't last long anyway. I must have survived this long. ”

“Why……. ”

Seong-min sat down. I didn't want to understand it, but I had to understand it.

Huju doesn't lie. I couldn't find anything wrong with what I was saying.

It was hateful. Disgusting. All of this, all of this. Why everything disappears.

Why do the beings who want to give their hearts and not disappear leave their rational minds one by one?

“I tried to disappear 10 years ago. ”

When you stopped the carnage. Huju is prepared for his own extinction.

“Only the carnage was extinguished. I was able to leave in a fabulous fashion, but he vanished for no reason. Since then...... I've been guessing for some time. That my existence doesn't help you very much. ”

“No...! ”

Lee Sung-min shouted. It has never not been helpful It was thanks to hunger that Lee Sung-min was able to survive until now without breaking his spirit.

It was Heju who comforted Lee when the Samaritan Guangcheon died. Even when there was no one with him, even when there was someone with him. Heju was always in the ritual of rationality.

Listens to the concerns of Lee Sung-min, counsels him, makes jokes. Always has been.

“I was happy when you asked me to wait. ”

But it's a good thing it's like this. I waved my arms, which had disappeared completely.

“That's how sure I am. Unless it helps you, I can't stay with you anymore. ”

“No... ”

Lee Sung-min wept, wrapping his head around his hands.

“If you ever disappear, What am I supposed to do...? ”

“At this very moment, the others are dying of Geniella. ”

Lee Sung-min's body trembled. A vague memory comes up clearly.

Before your head blows off.

The image of the Saxony that collapsed in the bloodshed and Scarlet....

“I'm not dying. ”

Heju muttered and looked at Lee Sung-min. He saw a long way behind Lee Sung-min's back.

I can see a familiar face from afar. The master of horses, the king of spears. He laughed.

“Just like your master. I... am not... extinct after I leave you. Leaving this world, heading the way only qualified people can. ”

“In the end, we're leaving.... ”

“Don't cry, kid. ”

Heo Ju, who heard Lee Sung-min's crying, uttered a curse. He comes at the top of his lungs and kicks the squatting man's body with his feet.

“What do you want me to do? Even if you don't go, I have to leave you. I need to disappear. I'm disappearing right now. I had no choice, you know. I didn't even leave a note, so I'm staying here to say goodbye to you. You can't even count on this old man's heart and whine about how sad he is? ”

“It's because of me...! ”

“Yes, because of you, you son of a bitch. You're weaker than Xeniella, and your body says you don't need me. Still.”

Heju once again kicked the body of Lee Sung-min.

“I'm leaving at my own will. I have no regrets. I wanted to see where you could go, but now I can't even see you. But it's okay.

Because I trust you. When you tear that bitch apart, ruining her damn destiny of ending, saying she wants to do what she wants...... and later, when there's nothing else she wants to do.

Come out first, along with the tetrarch, along with the king of spears. I believe I will be on that path. ”

He spit it out like that and stared at Lee Sung-min's face.

“So, smile, asshole. ”

Heju naturally tried to punch Lee Sung-min in the face, but he couldn't punch him because his arm was completely gone.

“Don't show your ugly face, crying and crying. Smile."
