1.

The protagonists who lived in the story sparkled like constellations.

I was not interested in the constellations shining in the night sky. Stars to me. Their story was my glorious constellation. Ah. There was infinite starlight in the universe, and there was infinite storytelling.

- I want to see more stories.

I accidentally touched the starlight.

- Just a little more.

It was just that.

2.

There was a stillness in the library.

The Great Library of Life, where a single volume of books captures the world. Thousands of people lived in the world, each with a story to tell. There were two people here in one book, the world of [Lepanta Aikim].

"......."

Killcheon looks down quietly at the Prelate.

“Did I mention one of the men who killed me? ”

“Yes, Mr. Kim Yul. ”

“That's a strange thing to say. ”

His voice was silent.

“My death was recorded 153 years ago, seven months and nine days ago. The name of the man who killed me at that time is sword. ”

I took out my old notebook in my arms. The diary is the termination station reached by [Kim Yul]. A thousand commandments that he will not remember but leave a trace of his past behind.

“The appearance of the sword in the journal is different from yours. ”

Like my skeletons won't let go of the dagger after being eaten by a white walker.

He also had a copy of an old notebook.

"Are you the successor to the sword? ”

"......."

“As far as I can tell, a sword is not someone's apology. It is not in the nature to receive an apology from someone. ”

The Prelate must have realized.

“I judge. You are not the successor to the sword, nor the one who killed me. There is no reason for you to apologize to me. ”

That he was already too late.

“Therefore I will not accept your apology. ”

"......."

“Above all, my name is Refantha Aikim. You called me Kim Yul, looking at me. However, there is no record of my so-called Kim Yul anywhere in the diary. Are you mistaken for someone else? ”

“Mr. Kim Yul. ”

The Prelate's voice trembles.

“Kim Yul is the name you had before you were called Lepanta Aikim. It's a name you have in your past, even before you got that journal. The world you originally lived in...."

“It's no use.”

Someone approached me and muttered. The Librarian. He whispered to me in a voice so small that I couldn't hear him.

"A pitiful sight. I'll admit to that. Time sealed victims on one side. The other is a timed bystander. Ah, such a beautiful painting... ”

I looked around the library.

[The Corner Librarian is ecstatic and desperate.]

The librarian had a strange look on his face. I felt sad. I felt happy too. The Librarian's eyes settle in disgrace, but his breath is red.

“But, Four Kings. Too much is too late. [Killer Castle] can never be saved. ”

"......."

“There's no point in apologizing now. Killer doesn't remember anything. It's completely different from the way things used to look and think. How can I be sorry for not remembering? How can I forgive what I don't remember? ”

“You.”

I said it badly.

“You know I'm coming back, right? ”

The librarian smiles.

“Of course.”

“How? If I come back, will you have the same time? ”

“Huh. That's not how things work. Especially since your [Regent's Leaf Clock] is so special, even if it's a spectacular constellation, you cannot rest in its majesty. But like the constellations, the mainstream has just the cutest powers. ”

The librarian flicks his finger. Tak! Then a book flew in.

+

[Story of the ascending city ( )]

+

It was a book that the constellations showed me when I first set foot in the Great Library.

“Remember? It's a book about your world. We can't call it the Apocalypse because it hasn't been destroyed yet. ”

The Librarian's eyes go up.

“Guess what. Who do you think the script has named to be the protagonist of the ascending city? ”

"......."

Indeed.

“It's me.”

“Yes, that's correct! ”

“Are all my incidents being recorded in that book? So what skills do I have, when and how I came back, and you all know that? ”

“Ah.”

The Librarian frowns and flips over the page of [Story of the Ascending City].

“The kiss of your time with Raviel Ivancia... that love and connection was indeed sweet! I solved the obstacle in an unexpected direction. The script has become my favorite scene. ”

"......."

“Of course, the 'trauma’ you experienced this time is also written in this book. That's why he gave us permission to enter even though he didn't have a nickname. ”

The man the Librarian mentioned meant the Prelate. Even now, the principal was desperately explaining to Killer Sung. Who you were and what you've been through. However, his expressionless face remained unchanged.

“You have awakened. Four Kings.”

The librarian said:

“I tried. I tried. I did my best. But the ability to kill is too late. No matter how hard characters try, it's hard to reach the best end. This is the normal ending allowed for Killian. ”

The librarian was grieving.

I was a little happier than that.

“With the exception of bad endings, killing is the only way to reach it. Regrettably, I don't know if I'm supernatural. Your efforts, the regrets of the Prelate, everything is helpless. Ah. Killing nature will remain a weapon of mass destruction that kills constellations. Forever..."

“Whatever it takes? ”

“Yes. Whatever it takes. ”

The Librarian slowly tried to put [the story of the ascending city] into his arms. At that moment, I reached out and grabbed the librarian's wrist. The librarian flinches.

“If you're so confident. ”

I looked down at the Librarian.

“Let's make a bet. ”

“Bet...? ”

“I will connect Kim Yul's time with the time of killing. Just as Kim Yul is going to be gentle, I'm going to make him gentle. Then you might get an apology from the principal. ”

“That's wrong. Didn't I tell you? Simply impossible……."

“So.”

I squeezed the librarian's wrist harder.

“Let's bet.”

"......."

“You said you were one of my favorite characters. Killer City. I will restore the memory of Killer City, no matter what means or means. You help. Well, you don't have to do everything you can to help. All you have to do is help me as much as you did for [Epic LeFanta Aikim]. ”

“Mm-hmm.”

The constellation's eyes narrowed.

"What if I have helped you and you have failed? What will you get from the script? ”

"Treat me however you want for 10 years. ”

The librarian has stopped.

“You said you wanted to pluck out my eyebrows and keep them? Go ahead. Say you want to cut your nails. Do that, too. I'll give you anything you want. Play with it as much as you want for 10 years. ”

The Librarian's eyes falter.

“Anything? ”

“Yes."

“What a horrible thing to say. The throne is quite respectful in front of you. If the script does what it wants, it's, uh, it's gonna be great. If I just look at the bookmark makers right now... ”

“Bet. Are you going or not? ”

The librarian opened his mouth. For a moment, his eyes were greedy. Because I was his beloved as well as his. The Librarian glances at me like a snake seeking prey.

“The script, however, adheres to the principle of no intervention. ”

The librarian swallowed a saliva.

“Different story if the character asks first. That's why I fulfilled the Chamberlain's wish in [Story of the Sormwyn Institute]. ”

"......."

“Very well, my king. I will help you. However, if you fail to connect Fatherhood to Kim Yu-ri... I will take your decade and taste it."

Okay. Okay.

I grabbed the librarian's wrist and walked to the Prelate and Killer. Buck, buck. The footsteps rang out in the area of the library where we were the only ones left.

- Hey, hey! Zombie, are you crazy? Why are you making that bet?!

The messenger trembles.

- Are you betting because you're 100% sure you want to win? Huh? Euntoll's eyes have turned because she's taking your favorite girl. He's a constellation, too. The constellation. It's also a very high star tank! I don't know what will happen if I leave my soul to that bastard!

It's okay. I'm confident I can win 100%. ’

I thought about why there was a tower for so long.

There is no reason for something to exist. But at least it seemed to me that the tower was built for a reason. Because of the tower, thanks to you, the lives of those who turned their backs on the outside could begin their lives again.

Living a life again.

Some would call it "reincarnation," some would call it "reincarnation."

“Killer.”

For some, it will mean reunion.

“Prelate.”

Thus, the stopped times are to be regenerated.

“Come and take a picture with me of youth. ”

Killer and the Prelate looked at me.

The first person who opened his mouth was a natural person.

“What do you mean? ”

“Lethal. You can't accept the warden's apology because your memory is gone. You think you don't have to. But if I could accept an apology, I would. ”

"Hmm."

He nods with an open diary.

“I do. I just talked for a little while, but the person who kneels before me is very emotional. Straight, not naturally born Straight, but Acquired Acquired by Patience in Life. I'd like to accept your apology if possible. ”

“Prelate.”

I looked at the Prelate. The Prelate is still kneeling on the floor of the library.

“If the Prelate can apologize to Kim Yul... ”

“A life.”

The Prelate replied without waiting for my words to continue.

“I'm willing to give my soul. ”

“…… Yes. Thank you."

I held the Prelate's hand and stood him up. Old man's hands. Then I remembered that I had held the Prelate's hand for a long time. Once upon a time, there was a time when the headmaster and I had built a sand tower in the playground.

‘The Prelate made it possible. ’

I was raised in a nursing home because you have not forgotten.

‘If I had forgotten the Prelate Kim Yul like everyone else, none of this would have happened. ’

The life of Kim Yul took the life of the Prelate. The Prelate's life made my life.

Now that my life has taken the life of flesh and blood, there are barely three people here.

The three of us lead to fate.

‘Never... I will not let it be meaningless. ’

It's a little late.

It is time to repay the one who raised me.

“Librarian.”

I clapped the Prelate's hand and looked back at the constellation. The Librarian smiles indifferently to make sure he is confident that he will win the bet.

“Speak up, Four Kings! A hunter whose heart is unwilling to love the throne. ”

“Me and Killer. Lecturer, I will target the next stage with three people like this. ”

“Oh!”

The librarian glances at you as if it were interesting.

“That's kind of a weird story. It's a little late, but now you want to come back and rebuild your relationship with three people? Huh. Well, that's a possible ending. It's kind of an open end! Our story begins now……."

“No.”

I reached out my remaining hand and stole a book.

“It's not like that. ”

[Story of the ascending city].

A book about me being the protagonist.

“I'll take this book to the next stage. ”

“Hmm…? ”

The Librarian tilts his head with a puzzled face.

“I'm sorry. I didn't understand. [Climbing City Story] is already happening here in real time? It's meaningless to attack from a stage. ”

“You said it yourself. This book says I'm the protagonist. So everything I've been through has been recorded. ”

“But...? ”

“Please send the three of us to one of my incidents. ”

“What case are you referring to? ”

“Trauma.”

"......."

Tsk.

The smile disappears from the librarian's face.

I glanced boldly at the constellation before my eyes.

“You just said that. ”

"Of course, the trauma you experienced this time is also written in this book.

“The trauma ended in tragedy. The world was destroyed, and even if it was just a fantasy, it was swallowed up into the void and the story of all the characters ended. Librarian. According to your classification, that trauma is impeccable. ”

“Ah……."

The librarian opened his mouth.

The librarian looked up at me in horror.

“Master, you can't be...."

“Make the appearance of the three of us in the Sinseo Secondary School's Revelation. Of course, Sancheon is Kim Yu-ro, and the Prelate is the Chief. I'm the perpetrator.”

If you can't be forgiven because you lost your memory, and you can't forgive.

“And allow [immersion]. ”

If you let me get my memory back, that's it.

It's like the Inquisitor was immersed in the spirit of gold and became the same person.

As I became more and more immersed in the butler's memory.

If Killer Seong is immersed in Kim Yul--

Kim Yul's memory will be implanted into Killcheon.

Killing can be reminiscent of Kim Yul's time.

“Librarian. No, Hamustra. ”

Yes, we are a little late.

But nothing is done yet.

“Open the book. ”

The librarian stops breathing.
