The Live

There is one rumor.

A ranker who was known as the supreme extraterrestrial source and the strongest of humanity.

Kim Jin-seok lost.

There was no doubt about the source of the rumor. It was the first generation of rankers like Kim Jin-seok and Arkan and Hundred Thousand.

Moreover, the same story came out of the mouths of many who were gathered in Trump besides them.

“You lost a thousand coins? ”

“Yes, that too in the fifth year. ”

“Oh, no way. How is that even possible? ”

“For real? By the way, it's important that the person who defeated Kim Jin-seok is our key. ”

“A key? I heard that the missing key is now the fifth year too.... ”

“Some time ago, the Academy overpowered Jeong Seung-hoon and Zhuo. I never thought I'd defeat Kim Jin-seok. ”

Rumors of the key spread in an instant.

Year 5.

There were a lot of skeptics in that short period of time.

But…….

“How can you argue with Kim Jin-seok? Isn't that right?”

The world no longer disagrees with them.

The name Heaven Extreme is no more.

The title "The Most Powerful of Humankind" was also given to a new person.

The sky outside the sky.

Another heaven appeared on top of it.

“How does it feel to be a new sky? ”

“... Don't mock me. ”

“Oh, don't do that. ”

“Go. I'm tired. ”

Yoon Jae lay on the bed and put his forehead down.

After the fight with Kim Jin-seok, I lay down for two days. However, as soon as I got up, my head ached because of the routine of laughing and talking.

‘Do I have a headache because I'm tired or do I have a headache because of him. ’

Regular people talked about the known story for two days.

There were already quite a lot of stories out there. After seeing Kim Jin-seok's defeat on the spot, many of the people who were living in Trum had to be rumored to be that fast.

Nothing moves faster than rumors. Rumors have already spread.

And the most prolific story was the "new sky."

“Why? That's cool. A new sky. Khh. You're a real star. ”

“That's it. You'll only make me feel worse if I don't." ”

“You're going to wake up right after that. ”

“...... Why weren't you there? ”

“Me?”

Regular was briefly concerned with a sudden question.

It was not a different kind of concern. It seemed like I was still full of playfulness in my eyes, and I was wondering if I could pick on Yoon Jae a little more.

Regular thought for a moment immediately shrugged his shoulders.

“I knew you two were fighting anyway, and I can see the results, but why go there and watch? ”

“The result is obvious? ”

“Of course I thought you would win. What a monster he is. ”

“ ……. ”

“No, just kidding. Look at that face."

On Yoon Jae's face, the regular word changed to 'Eek’.

“I knew you'd win. I've had a few fights with him lately, and I don't think he's going to lose. ”

“How do you know? ”

“You can't lose at an absolute amount of magic, and you're not lacking in everything else. As long as you have the ability of the sculpture, you will also dominate in a number of fights.... ”

“He brought me a strange sword. ”

“I heard. I was a little surprised to hear that. ”

“In what way? ”

“That you won against the man with the weapon. I think he's a lot stronger than I thought. ”

The regular expression of saying that was quite serious.

It immediately became awkward. Yoon Jae didn't have anything to say because of the unexpected compliment. He seemed to be proud of everything he said here.

"A new heaven..." ’

As soon as I woke up, my head got complicated.

It was a great name. Heaven, you're not so great yourself.

Suddenly, I remembered Kim Jin-seok's words.

- The best is more burdensome than I thought.

When I first heard it, I just spilled it.

because I didn't understand.

Self-appreciation to be the best. and the expectation that the person who is standing there will receive it.

I didn't understand anything.

But…….

‘Now I understand one thing in a bag. ’

People say and expect their names.

The pressure to be resurrected as much as I expected began to sprout and grow. It made my neck and chest stuffy.

It felt strange.

Of course I thought the best was good.

It was not necessarily so.

Knock-knock.

“Are you up?”

“Excuse me.”

He knocks on the door and hears a familiar voice.

It was Elvin and Royse. Yun Jae replied, "Come on in," and then got up off the bed at an angle.

“You're up.”

“I brought some fruit. I thought it would be best for you as a courtesy gift. ”

“Welcome. But……. ”

Yoon Jae slightly frowned at the crowd that followed them.

“Are there so many people here? ”

Arhan and a hundred thousand, and Kim Jin-seok wrapped in bandages.

Unlike Royce, the three of them were empty-handed.

“You didn't even say hello to me as soon as you got here. ”

“Don't you have to go to the Academy? ”

“I've been there. What's wrong with leaving me alone? ”

Hundred thousand sat on a chair brought from somewhere, trembling at Yoon Jae's words. I felt the room was filled with five visitors who were suddenly empty.

Elvin carved the fruit I brought. Royse forcefully strokes his head, and Arhan, like a hundred thousand, brings the chair in the corner and sits next to Kim Jin-seok.

“I won, but I guess I got up late. ”

Yun Jae stood up already and sighed as she saw Kim Jin-seok coming to his hospital entrance.

I didn't feel like winning anywhere else.

“I just woke up, too. They came with me because they were going to see you next. ”

“Is that so?”

“How are you feeling? It's a obvious question.”

“I woke up and I was fine. ”

“I don't. Me neither. ”

A hundred thousand people turned to look at each other, shaking their heads.

“I don't think they're men. ”

“Everyone grows up fighting. ”

While chatting, some of Elvin's sheared fruits arrive. Growing in the underworld, they were unnamed fruits.

“I never thought I'd be able to eat a piece of shredded fruit in my life. Wow, I'll eat well. ”

“... I'm stubborn. ”

With a normal exaggeration, Elvin grunts and kills.

Regular picking up the beautifully cut fruit, he flinched, then carefully put it in his mouth and chewed. Yoon Jae looked at Elvin and Lois, thinking that love is great.

“Isn't it time to start talking? ”

Kim Jin-seok, who didn't even notice the fruit, opened his mouth with his arms folded.

“What were you trying to find out? I didn't think you were the only one I wanted to check out. ”

“ ……. ”

“At least these are the people who helped you, big or small. I don't know what you're talking about, but I think you have a right to know. ”

Seeing Yoon Jae hesitant to answer, Kim Jin-seok said as if he was being driven away.

Arhan and the Hundred Thousand who ate fruit next to him nodded as if they were correct. Elvin says nothing, and Royse strongly agrees.

“After Yoon Jae disappeared for two years, everyone here was worried. Mr. Jung, not to mention, along with this subdivision, even Elvin... ”

“I don't know. ”

“I didn't tell you.... ”

Royse pinches Elvin's mouth with one hand as if to keep his mouth shut.

“I was so worried. ”

“ ……. ”

No one denied Lois's words.

Yoon Jae also didn't know that they were worried about her. He didn't grow up to know it.

It's just...

“Phew -”

Again, it's hard to say.

Those who were gathered around him did not speak together. Everyone was sitting looking at Yoon Jae.

It felt strange.

I changed my mind. Yoon Jae opened his mouth after the conflict.

“…… I have one thing in mind. ”

“What is it?”

Elvin asked.

Yoon Jae spoke with his eyes.

“This may sound ridiculous. But before you do, promise me this. ”

“So what? ”

“Make an appointment first. All of you.”

It was a ridiculous force.

I don't know what you want me to promise you, but I can't promise you anything.

Yoon Jae knew himself that he was like a little boy with swarms. But I had to.

If you take it out, everyone will say no.

“... I promise. ”

The first person to open his mouth was normal.

Yoon Jae turned to him. Regular was always the same face as me.

“Well, when did you ever stop talking nonsense? I've been saying strange things ever since I saw you. ”

“You are in this atmosphere... ”

“But the results were really good. ”

Normally, he smiled.

“It was ridiculous at first. It's completely unfounded and unfounded, and I wonder why this is happening. But if you follow it, it always works out well. Like you knew the future. ”

“ ……. ”

“When there were no pieces, you wouldn't have seen the future. Anyway, I believe you. I have to believe you. He always pays me back. ”

Blind Faith.

It could seem morbid depending on who sees it. Regular people have always been on Yoon Jae's side for a long time and followed him.

Lois shakes her head with a faith close to faith. On the other hand, I thought, ’So be it.’

“Then I promise. No matter how absurd you think it is, it may not be necessarily a bad thing if you listen to Mr. Jung. ”

“If Royse does, I promise. ”

“Are you two surprisingly hot? ”

“Correct.”

Elvin slapped him on the regular forehead. The regular head bounces off with a beep, and he bows his head with a groan.

When the atmosphere became like that, the other three people also had no choice.

“Fine. I promise. ”

“Isn't Yoon Jae the one who would do it if he did it anyway? I'm not listening to you because you're trying to stop me. ”

“Suit yourself. ”

Arhan and the Hundred Thousand, Kim Jin-seok.

I answered three people in a row.

Now I have to listen to Yoon Jae's insides and follow his decision.

“Two years ago…… no, now a little over two years ago. ”

In the end, Yoon Jae began to tell me what he had in mind two years ago.

“I met the Emperor and the archangels, and I received the promise of the dragons. To mediate angels and humans who broke the rules, the angels promised that they wouldn't be able to invade human land for the next three years. ”

Yun Jae's story was known to everyone.

No, it was known not only to the people here, but to all those who existed.

Three years.

As the period was set, they tried to be strong so that they would not lose the war that was to come.

“I heard this story, and I thought differently. ”

“What makes you think differently? ”

“Three years.”

Yoon Jae asked, empowering.

“Must we wait? ”

“…… what? ”

When Yoon Jae asked, Arhan opened his eyes wide.

Do I have to wait?

“What if we don't wait? ”

“They know three years. And I'm waiting for my throat to drop. ”

It was a natural sound.

With only four archangels and a thousand kings, Metatron, and so many angels, power was dominated by angels.

Anyone would think the same.

But…….

“The path is made. I'm going to go out that way and find the pieces that are left. ”

Yoon Jae thought it was the opposite.

“By yourself? ”

Elvin asked.

I didn't hear anything else. Elvin thought that Yoon Jae might have tried to start working alone because he didn't want to tell them.

But fortunately, it wasn't.

“That can't be right. If I die, you all die. ”

“But, what? ”

“I thought to myself, am I making the right choice? And I needed conviction for that. ”

Yoon Jae's gaze turned to Kim Jin-seok.

“I thought if I defeated Jin Seok, I would be sure. ”

“So? Are you sure? ”

“Somewhat. ”

“Then you're not sure. ”

“But it was confirmed. ”

Confidence and confirmation are different.

Across the street, I'm sure I can get the pieces.

It was uncertain at any cost. The opposing Pokémon is that strong.

But the possibility was confirmed.

“... I think I need to think about it. ”

“I don't think it's a matter of haste. We're not ready yet, and even if the roads are breached, the monsters in the middle are still there. ”

Arhan and the Hundred Thousand thought differently.

Unlike Yun Jae, who had already thought about it for a long time, the two of them were negative for saying they were leaving time and attacking.

‘Not very likely to succeed. Not only are we wasting the time we have left, but we can't stop the victims from crossing the street……. ’

Drawings are drawn, calculations are complicated.

Defender and assault.

The answer is clear if you ask which one is better.

I had to take the risk of crossing the intermediate region, and even if I crossed the intermediate region, I was not familiar with the place. The battlefield has the advantage of being as familiar as possible.

It's a losing decision in many ways. Arhan was so convinced.

“We're not all going together. ”

Yoon Jae said as if he knew everything in Arhan's head.

“A few. You don't have to go that far. ”

“How many? ”

“Didn't you do that when the demons moved into the camp? I originally thought of going it alone.... ”

Yoon Jae glanced at the people who were gathered there and asked.

“That won't be necessary now, will it? ”

* * *

The answer was to be heard shortly.

At this point, just two out of three years after the promised three years, each of them needed to prepare their minds. Of course, there was an answer from Premier.

- Of course I'm going.

- I was bored waiting, but I'm glad.

Regular and Elvin.

Unlike the two people who responded coolly, Kim Jin-seok conserved his words and the other three still seemed to conflict.

Royse also looks at Elvin with a worried look on his face.

“Phew -”

Late at night.

Yun Jae walked out of the Clan House.

The night air wrapped around my face and passed by. It felt strange.

‘It's almost over.'

I reached out my hand forward.

I felt like I could catch something in the air. But I didn't seem to get caught.

Once this is over, it's over.

Yoon Jae took out the journal that he had hidden inside and opened it.

The diary was open until the last chapter.

‘I failed once. ’

Tuk-

I covered the diary and looked at the outside.

I read it dozens and hundreds of times.

The diary is quite old. There were many times, and many places were torn.

It was strange.

Not today, the cover was more eye-catching. A long time ago, I remembered vividly when I received a surprise gift from my wife.

It was not an anniversary, it was one of the hardest Wednesdays of the week.

Gift.

- What?

- Just in case.

- Hey, what's up? A diary?

At first, I hated it.

A very small gift. In addition, while I was tired from work, I felt too harsh to keep a diary every day.

I shouldn't have done that. I should have just thanked her and hugged her.

I regretted it several times later. But regret is regret because it's too late. There are no early regrets.

When I buried my first ink in my wife's diary on the first day. Yoon Jae looked out his head carefully behind him, found his wife watching the diary, and covered the diary as it was.

Thinking about it, he was not so sweet.

‘You were the best to me. ’

Close your eyes and think.

‘I told you……. ’

When I see you again, I'm gonna need you to do better.

“What are you doing? ”

You hear a voice that breaks your mind.

Turning back, Elvin and Royce are approaching together. The appearance of him and his wife overlapped in the form of two people.

Suddenly, a little girl appeared to be mistaken between them.

Mina.

It was his daughter, who I wanted to see next to my wife.

‘No, I'm against it. ’

Suddenly, Yoon Jae smiled. Elvin looks at Yun Jae's face and frowns a little.

“What are you laughing at? ”

“Don't you want to say it nicely? ”

Lois pinches Elvin's side and says to Yoon Jae.

“Everyone's gathered their opinions. ”

“What do you say? ”

“Kim Jin-seok is coming, too. I'm going, too. ”

“What about the other two? ”

“Mr. Arhan and Mr. Hundred Thousand. because if you think it's impossible to recover the pieces, you have to defend them from this side. ”

“Come back if you don't think you can make it?" ”

“Yes. Isn't that obvious? ”

“Yes, of course. ”

It's a natural story.

In the beginning, the purpose of the angels was Yoon Jae. As long as Yun Jae has the Devil's side key, angels can't win this war.

“If I can't... I have to run. ”

“ ……? ”

Royse looks at Yoon Jae's muttering face with a curious look.

What a sad face to make such a natural sound. Lois, of course, and the Elvin next to her, they don't understand.

But there was something the two of them didn't know.

Yoon Jae was already trying to repeat what had happened once.

‘The future me has failed. ’

[I ran away. Everyone I knew died, and I was the only one left.

If I get caught, it's all over. I snuck into the Land of Angels. I thought that if I could somehow find the pieces on angel ground, I could change all this.

……. …….

I've been caught. Where the pieces are hidden....

…….

The chase has begun. No, the chase has been a long time coming. It's just that I've been caught in the middle of something lately.

I'm tired of hiding. I would give up, and I thought about it several times a day. But every time I did that, I thought,

What do I want here?]

Failed.

The past itself, and the world, have already suffered a great failure. Yoon Jae knew that.

I wasn't sure that I had failed once. I was afraid I would experience the same failure again.

But…….

‘I am now, succeed. ’

Yun Jae looks at Elvin and Royce.

The future self and the present self are different.

Stronger and not alone.

I couldn't say for sure.

But the possibility could be ascertained.

“Mr. Elvin. Mr. Royce.”

Yoon Jae said to the two of them.

“You have to come back alive. ”

Let's go back.

Naturally, the place was not a home for the Skyscrapers where they lived.

Home.

The world they used to live in.

As soon as Elvin understood what it meant, he replied, keeping his mouth shut.

“Of course not. ”
