The Tutorial Is Too Hard

“Is he dead?”

[No, not yet.]

Ceresia replies:

I saw a fake word burning in the fire.

He was completely unconscious, but the fake was still in shape.

[I don't want to wait any longer, but why don't you just change it yourself.]

Ceresia said.

I refused.

“That's too cruel. ”

[It is also true that the speaker is sometimes bullshit depending on who he is.]

That's what I'm talking about. Bullshit, right?

Despite my personality?

[I'm just saying what I've heard before.]

Then Ceresia shut her mouth.

I scratched my head.

Even though the heat was strong, my hair was not burning, but the moisture was completely blown away and I felt like sweeping the broom away.

I know why Serbia insisted that the fake be sharpened quickly.

The battle she just had consumed all her strength.

Being powerless and powerless can also make humans feel normal and refined.

But it will be different from what Ceresia sees herself as a weapon.

In the meantime, they will rush into the Holy Land of the God of Hope, and they will feel uneasy.

It'll be awkward to wait for that fake body to burn.

“Let's wait a little longer, though. ”

Ceresia does not answer.

I saw a fake burning slowly by the heat.

I don't know if it's a burn or a makeup.

I think that makeup is right.

The fake was still breathing, but it was already dead.

It was before you met me.

The only time he ever breathed was when he fought me.

That's what a fake would think.

The fake defenses are finally depleted.

The body has only just begun to burn.

The fake that was deformed but maintained the human form became black charcoal chunks of meat in a shovel.

I don't know if the fake will agree with me.

But the fake one seemed to like the result of being met by him.

I was pretty sure of this.

I used to be.

Self-destructive excitement and pleasure.

I knew that I was going to die soon after.

Rather, he put himself in a more dangerous situation.

I stayed calm for a long time and did not go up to the perfect floor.

I hurriedly went up the floor as if I were blinded, but on the one hand, I felt sorry every time the remaining layers of the tutorial stage decreased.

It is not a long-term goal of completing a tutorial with your life and returning to Earth.

I only followed the thrill of breaking through the danger of momentum and the feeling of achievement that I felt by breaking through the walls of growth.

You knew you were going to die.

Rather, I was hoping for more.

I wanted every moment of my life to burn hot, and I thought it would be better to die if it wasn't.

[You're too immersed.]

Why don't you get a little overwhelmed?

He looks just like me in the past.

I can't help that fake.

But at least I wanted to keep an eye on the end.

[It's a tender mind. Even if we have something in common, it's never good to bring emotion into an enemy's being.]

“That's right. ”

I admit it.

It was a weak and foolish idea.

But...

“Hardness isn't always the right thing. ”

I don't know what she thought of protecting herself as a weapon in the end.

I thought so.

[Are you sympathetic?]

Well, I don't know.

Maybe he repented.

About the past self who lived as a monster like that.

I suddenly remembered the 20th floor.

We met there with the minions, Chimera and Idi.

The 20th floor was the stage where I began to change most dramatically among all the stages of the tutorial.

Since then, I've started running towards new goals.

I'm still running, but when I think about it, I think a lot has changed.

It will be in the future.

Maybe more will change.

He may be running for something completely different from where he is now.

He was obsessed with one goal and did not intend to think about it afterwards.

But now I thought the time had come to think about it too.

Now I whispered to him, seeing where the fake had disappeared completely into ash.

May you rest in peace at the end of your quest.

“Well, I'll take revenge for you. ”

[Did that fake wish for the fall of the god of hope?]

Well, I don't know.

Maybe.

“Who cares about her doctor? I'll do it.”

[That's true.]

Ceresia also agreed.

“Let's go, then. ”

The Shrine of the God of Hope has already been searched, waiting for a fake to burn.

The god of the chest gave me detailed coordinates, so I could easily find them.

* * *

A part of the air cracks open and a circular hole forms.

Beyond the hole is the shrine of the god of hope.

Before I went in, I looked at the image of the Holy Land.

The shrine was strangely depicted as a giant hourglass made of glass walls.

In the top compartment of the Sandglass, ordinary people lived.

A small room reminiscent of a giant beehive is packed tightly into a compartment above the hourglass.

I lived there, one by one, in each of those little rooms.

There seemed to be quite a lot of people living isolated in small rooms.

No matter how little I held it, it was 10 million units.

From afar, each of those rooms looked like sand in the hourglass.

There was nothing... in the compartment under the Sandglass.

I'm looking into what structure that is, and suddenly the interior of the hourglass starts to flutter.

In the narrow room, everyone who read, talked to someone over the screen, showered, and ate stopped moving and began to pray.

It was a earnest and faithful prayer that I could feel even though I didn't know anything.

Soon, the hourglass stops vibrating.

And the bottom room of the glass fell into the bottom compartment.

as if the sand in the hourglass were falling down.

Of course, humans were not sand.

The room that fell to the bottom of the compartment was shattered by the impact.

The human being in it, of course, died in agony.

The people in the above compartment heard the shock and continued to pray in terror.

Shortly after, the machine equipment appeared on the bottom of the car, and you just cleared the debris and corpses of the fallen rooms.

I thought this was a crazy situation.

He looked at the 60th floor and asked if it was okay to decorate the sanctuary.

I wondered what to say when I saw this place of hope.

I turned my gaze to the ceiling of the Sandglass.

On the ceiling was another world.

Unlike the interior of the Sandglass, you see clear, clean skies.

Under the clear sky was a beautiful green garden.

This place is beautifully decorated.

Like a beautiful paradise.

Among them was a temple made of white stones.

It was quite a temple from a human point of view.

That must be the true sanctuary.

The imbalance between the floors was strange, but we decided to settle for first.

I was very satisfied.

The sanctuary of the god of hope was a beautiful place worth burning.

Who are you?

Someone notices me and talks, looking into the sanctuary.

It was not a god of hope.

I think he's some kind of guardsman guarding the shrine.

What's going on?]

[Someone is attempting to enter the dimension without permission.]

[It is not known who.]

[The God of Hope said nothing.]

[Do you know where it's trying to come from?]

[I don't know, but there's an enormous amount of energy surging across space. I'm not detecting any intruder force.]

[That would be nice.]

I heard voices mixed up.

There must be a lot of lookouts.

It was fun.

[Enough! Stop spying and wait! This is the sanctuary where God of Hope dwells!]

I came to the right place.

I chuckled in my heart and thanked the god of disgust.

[No more may enter unless the God of Hope permits. First reveal your identity!]

Who am I?

Well, how do I explain myself?

Who are you?]

It was only after a moment of thought that I could think of the right answer.

I told the watchman of the god of hope who asked me who I was.

“Your despair. ”

At the same time, you fire the power you stored toward the front.

The barrier of space was layered around the sanctuary, but the force I shot pierced it like a wormhole.

Black smoke was emitted towards the sanctuary, and the atmosphere was shaken by the extreme temperature difference.

You cut through the artificial storms created by the flow of the atmosphere and entered the sanctuary.

[Incredibly villainous. I'm glad you're a warrior.]

Ceresia said.

Looks like she was a villain after all.

I heard the voice of the god of hope.

Several sentries appeared to me entering the sanctuary and immediately attempted an attack.

[Die, intruder!]

“Die. ”

* * *

Oh, my God!

It was also a rewarding place to burn.

It's so greenery, so beautiful birds fly, so beautiful buildings have to be burned down.

I don't want to burn any more places that are already in ruins.

The watchmen were excellent.

It wasn't personal, but it had a twisted and convoluted power.

Given the apostle's nature, the gods of hope were beings who would show more power in a state of health.

Thanks to this, I had a hand for every grind.

I was satisfied.

Aaaaah!

Help me, please!

The New Testament has fallen!

Oh, my God!

I hear people screaming from a distance.

There were people in the temple on the Sand Glass.

Basically, they were ordinary people who couldn't feel much different from the people who were trapped in the hourglass.

Seeing the screams coming in, there must have been quite a number of worshippers in the Holy Land.

More rewarding.

[God damn it…….]

God of hope.

As soon as I heard the harsh voice, I suddenly felt cheerful.

Hahaha.

[At least I thought we were going to die together......]

How optimistic for me.

It's a hundred years to come at you! You filthy fly!

Cease fire! Cease fire!]

The god of hope cried out in an urgent voice.

Looks like it hasn't been recovered yet.

“Why do I have a truce? Just you, George. It's over. ”

[Don't be bluffing! You're running out of power!]

The god of hope exclaims.

Unfortunately.

I had enough power left to hold onto the god of hope for George.

I absorbed all the power that the fake left behind as his legacy.

Anyway, I used my ability again to prove to myself that I had enough room.

“Bam, bam. ”

[God damn it. Please don't use that cursed skill!]

In fact, you don't have to use a bamboo boom.

Of course, there was no other means to create this explosive force so easily, but in a situation where no one could stop me, it didn't matter what other means were used.

But...

If you tell me not to do it, I want to do more.

You punched him one more time over the collapsing temple of the god of hope.

“Yes, boom, boom. ”
