The Live

The commotion has passed and the full moon has passed.

Yun Jae and Jung stayed in Meln until the riot was over and Abram's lab was cleared up.

Abram's release of the enchantment in the lab was simple.

Destroy the lab itself.

Then the formless sorcerers are no longer able to use their power.

And we're going to search the lab again from the very beginning.

It took three days in total.

And…….

“What are you going to do now? ”

Now that all the problems have been resolved, Elvin and Royce have summoned Yoon Jae and the Regular.

“Are you going to stay in Mellon? Or do you want to go to another town? ”

Yoon Jae and Jung, sitting at the center of the table, confronted each other with Elvin's questions.

Normally, I didn't seem to think much of it. As always.

“What are you going to do? ”

“…… Are you asking only me that? ”

“You know I'm following you. Like a leech.”

Yoon Jae replied, pushing the norm to stick with one hand.

“I'm going to another village. There's nothing more to do here anyway. ”

“Well, if you're good enough, you don't have to stay in Mellon anymore. ”

Royse nods naturally.

Meln was always just a ‘start’ town.

A town of beginners.

And according to the name, there was a background for new people to grow up in.

But…….

‘It's hard to see these two as new. ’

Royce looked closely at Yun Jae and her qualifications.

Regular people could see it as they fought the chimeras together.

Although I have not yet experienced it, I am not yet immature, the physical ability or the absolute amount of magical power is never behind those of my predecessor.

Abram's potion would have been a part of it, but he was fundamentally strong enough to say he stood out from the tutorial.

Above all, you can see the growing experience as you deal with the chimeras.

‘Especially this person……. ’

Royse's gaze was naturally fixed on Yoon Jae.

When I first heard that Abram had been dealt with, and I heard through Elvin's mouth what was going on in the process,

I couldn't help but be surprised by her, who wasn't usually very surprised.

After all, it wasn't Elvin who killed Abram, it was Yoon Jae.

“But it's going to take some time to get the portal back online. With Abram gone, there's no one to operate the portal now. ”

Abram's role in Mellon was to send those using the portal to other villages.

But now that Abram is gone, there is no way to get to another village.

“That's okay, just use the scroll you received from Abram. ”

Yoon Jae said so, and showed two scrolls that he had put in his pocket.

Teleport scroll where multiple destinations are stored.

Even if the portal doesn't work, if you use the scroll, you could move to the next town right now.

“Then I really...... want to say goodbye to this place one last time. ”

“I'm sure it will. ”

In Yun Jae's unhesitant answer, Royse asked.

“Are you sure you don't want to join the Skyscraper Clan? ”

Yun Jae smiles at Royse's suggestion and bows.

“I'm sorry."

“I told you.”

In response, Elvin, who was sitting next to Royse, shrugs.

Royse has already spoken with Elvin, considering the recruitment of the two.

And Elvin already told me he offered once and was rejected.

As a result, I offered it again, but it was rejected to look good again.

I feel sorry for Royse. As part of the clan, and as well as within the clan, Royce had no choice but to covet them both.

“I can't help it. If you change your mind... ”

“That's what I've already said. ”

“…… Then let's do it again. ”

Royse closes her mouth with her hands, making noisy noises.

“If you change your mind, visit the Skyscraper Clan again. MacRoyce, and if you name Elvin here, maybe no one in the Skyscraper Clan will recognize him. ”

According to Royse, Yoon Jae lets out a few words and nods.

“I understand.”

If you change your mind, find it.

I didn't like hitting the wall saying it couldn't be.

“Oh, and about the reward for coming back to you.... ”

“Elvin.”

Lloyd hurries to stop him.

“Are you sure you want to do this? ”

“Well, whatever it takes. ”

Elvin grins and picks up two more rings from his pocket.

“Take one by one. The other one is still worth looking into, and it's the most useful item Abram had in his possession right now. ”

“This……. ”

Yoon Jae looked at the ring and the regular eyes sparkled.

The ring he gave was two of Abram's five rings.

“You called us here to give us this? ”

“Then? Did you think I'd call you to chat and eat? ”

“That's not it……. ”

“A ring with a long range teleportation skill was decided to be taken from the Skyscraper Clan. You can use that skill to reconstruct the portal faster and more conveniently. I'm sorry, but that would be hard to concede. ”

“That's okay. That's enough. ”

Yoon Jae bows his head, taking the ring from Elvin.

The reward was unexpected.

Abram was captured by the Skyscraper Clan, though it was only natural that Abram would be captured.

He was originally in the position of protecting and managing Mellon, so the Skyscrapers thought the rewards might be exclusive.

‘I didn't think it would fall on us. ’

Abram's ring was the most valuable item he had.

Of course, even more so was Abram's potion.

“Check it out. You're going to like this. ”

Elvin speaks in a confident voice.

Yoon Jae and Jung checked the information on the ring.

‘Emotions.’

[98 clock reel]

Grade: A

# Abram the Great.

# Coordinate individual time.

# Requires concentration based on skill level.

After finishing his emotions, Yoon Jae's eyes burst open.

Rating was noticeable before the item's description or effects.

Grade A?

The highest rank of items that Yoon Jae has ever had.

If I was rated B, I would be considered a very valuable item.

Especially for those who had just entered the underworld, Class B items were often hard to see.

A grade, by the way.

This was an item that even Elvin could covet.

‘What does it mean to be timing? ’

Coordinate individual time.

It was hard to know the effects without just hearing the description. I also thought the description was too simple for the grade.

But it was an item to look forward to.

Items of Class A.

It's this grade, but it can never be that bad.

“Do you like it? ”

“Oh, yes. I was surprised.”

“Me, too. I've never seen a Class A item before. ”

Normally, too, my mouth was open.

The item he received was also an A rank.

Apparently, the two rings Abram gave Yoon Jae and the regular were relatively unnecessary items.

‘That's it...... I've got everything I can carry. ’

Abram has made many sacrifices, but he has gained more than he originally planned. Everything you can do in Mellon is done.

After finishing feeling the ring, Elvin asked Yoon Jae and Jeong, each with a ring on his hand.

“Where do you think the next town is? Forrest or Calton? ”

There are several villages that can be reached through Mellon, the starting village.

Of course, you can't go straight to the big city where the top people are.

However, if you think about the money that Yoon Jae and the regular people have, you can go to a city that is classified as a metropolitan city by one leg.

“I'm going to the Dark Mix. ”

The one who answered was Yoon Jae.

And in response, Elvin and Royce were startled.

“Darmium?”

“Why……. ”

Unlike the other two, the regular expression on the unfamiliar name was puzzling.

I just said the name, but the reaction was unusual.

“Where's the dark matter? ”

Elvin asked Yun Jae with a blank expression in his normal reaction.

“Didn't you consult with him? ”

“It was made in a hurry yesterday. I was going to leave and talk about it. ”

“He's a madman. ”

I frowned at the thought that the regular conversation between the two people would be left alone and asked.

“So where's the dark matter? What is this place? ”

“Don't you get the feeling from the name? ”

Elvin buries himself behind a chair and asks.

“The Dark Mix. The village where the third and fourth year residents mainly live. There are a lot of decent quests, and some of the monsters nearby are definitely worth a fortune. It's not so bad to look at. ”

It's not bad to look at.

It means that the outside is different from the inside.

“Then what's the problem? ”

“The town's security. ”

“Security?”

“Meln here is not as badly guarded as the Skyscraper Clan. Every year, the Skyscraper Clan sends in new recruits like this to keep them safe. This year I've been sent to fucking charge. ”

Elvin shrugs, saying so.

It was as if all this was because of me. "

“Most villages are managed by clans as large as here. Some places are balanced by clans. ”

The Skyscraper Clan was one of the largest clans in the underworld.

But it wasn't that there was no clan with the Skyscraper clan.

And most of those clans were influential in villages.

“But the dark matter is different. No, it's similar...... but it's different. ”

Elvin's voice is low.

He stared at Yoon Jae and said.

“Because the Murder Clan controls the dark matter. ”

“Some people……. ”

The normal voice trembled.

In his mind, I remembered the person I met the day I first came into the world behind me.

Dean Aladore.

Murderer, clan member, murderer of the same people.

“Actually, there's no need to call it management. Killers take care of it. That doesn't make sense. So the problem is the absence of care. ”

“The outlaw zone? ”

Regular questions make Elvin nod slightly.

“The other side is generally like that. People die laughably compared to the world we used to live in. There is a stabbing in what will end with a fist bump. ”

“Of course. Since the tutorial.... ”

“But the Murder Clan is different. They don't have the motive or purpose to kill someone. ”

Brute force murder.

That's why the Murder Clan is so dangerous.

They were crazy people who were happy to kill people.

They are the kind who will put their swords in their faces, smiling at the name of the first person to see them today.

“It's where murderers like Dean Aladore, who you killed on your first day, play. Of course, we don't kill people out in the open. Even if the Murder Clan wins, I know my life is precious. ”

“Then what's the problem? ”

“I told you before, right? There are no clans to manage and control the city. It's an implicit Murderer clan town. Of all existing cities, the one with the highest murder rate is the dark matter. ”

Gulp -

In Elvin's explanation, the regular swallowed a saliva.

The city of the Murder Clan. Homicide is a city without order and control.

Even though they've grown up on this, I can't help but be frightened by the rumors that murderers like Dean Alador are selling.

“Tongue, brother. I think we... I think we have the wrong destination. ”

Normally, he waved Yoon Jae's arm sitting next to him.

However, unlike his expectations, Yoon Jae's answer was resolute.

“No, I got it right. ”

“... Strange. ”

Elvin looks at Yoon Jae.

“As expected, did you know what a city of Dark Mix is? ”

“Yes.”

I couldn't have known.

I already know through the journal.

“I'm trying to find out. ”

Yoon Jae remembered what happened the other day.

* * *

After the great commotion caused by Abram, Yoon Jae checked the diary every day.

Even if I tried to leave for the next town right now, I couldn't find out where to go.

I wanted to be able to see the future through the journal, but the next page was tightly closed.

How am I supposed to see this? ’

It's been days since I killed time while staying at my place. It was frustrating to waste my time for nothing.

There was nothing to get out of Mellon right now.

With Yun Jae and her normal abilities, it will be difficult to raise stats even if you hunt the monsters around her.

Sarak-

The last page of the diary.

It had a record of Abram's death.

In the process, "I" who became the subject of the diary was one of the few people who survived.

“Here's the problem. ”

The next event does not unfold.

Yoon Jae guessed a few reasons.

‘Time, or events. ’

The diary kept a record of important events.

It was not a simple day like a typical diary. It's more like a record of when something big and small happened.

Then it is easy to tell if you think it is not unfolding because the incident has not happened.

“I can't just wait. ”

We don't know when the next page of the diary will open.

Abram cleared up the commotion, and even though he was killing time and taking a break, he couldn't have been like this forever.

It was time to choose the next destination.

Sarak-

“Huh?"

At that time, the next page of Yoon Jae's journal was unfolded in the hands of Yoon Jae who repeatedly looked at the journal as usual.

It was a coincidence that when I opened the last page, a few pages were accidentally passed along.

Yoon Jae, who was lying sideways on the bed, raised his torso.

Having access to the next page can help you decide where to go.

[…… and so she was barely able to rest. No, I don't know if it's called stability.

Too many people have died. There won't be thousands of new survivors, including me.]

The beginning was depressing.

Survivors, and the dead.

The reality recorded in the diary was the ruined town of Abram.

Yoon Jae suddenly turned her head and looked out the window.

Those who wander the streets and inhabitants. It overlapped the appearance of the street with the appearance of Mellon in the diary.

‘... But I'm glad. ’

I suddenly thought about it.

Maybe what you've changed is better than what we're supposed to do now.

Do you have the right to change the future that has been set for you, or is it right?

However, I was somewhat relieved by comparing the present with the future recorded in the diary.

At least now he has changed, better than he planned.

Yoon Jae read the next sentence in the diary.

[The portal has started working again. But there was a problem. The Skyscraper clan initially activated the portal, but the destination was scrambled.

You can't go to the town you want. If you use the portal to get to another town, you have no idea where you're going.]

Portal malfunction.

It was not that serious a problem.

It wasn't that it didn't work at all, nor did it fall outside of a town full of monsters.

The portal worked just as well as the fact that they were about to fall into one of several settled villages.

‘It has nothing to do with me. ’

After all, Yoon Jae and the regular had scrolls from Abram.

Using it, you were able to get to the town you wanted, even if you didn't have a portal.

[I could have waited for the portal to work, but I didn't. I and many others were in a hurry to use the portal.

I want to get out of this hellhole as soon as possible. It was the only thought in our heads.]

A town that fell at random.

The problem was then.

[Really...... It still makes no sense.

Of all the villages in the world, why is it so dark?

And why, if anything, I got caught up in it.]

‘That job? ’

Yoon Jae continued to read the diary.

The diary contained descriptions of the dark matter and the events that occurred within it.

And as I read it, Yoon Jae's eyes changed horribly.
