chapter 33
Episode 33 Record of Destiny (2)
“I’m sorry….”
Seo Eun-ha lowered her head as if she had no shame for even standing in front of Kang Seo-jun.
Kang Seo-Jun felt the need to ask if Seo Eun-Ha had seen her own heroine route.
“Did you see it? What happened at the top of Everest…”
The summit of Everest was the background that appeared when Seo Eun-ha’s route went to the bad ending.
“…Yes. And even the things that happened after that.”
“Hmm.”
It became clear that she had seen Seo Eun-ha’s route.
As expected, Seo Eun-ha saw her own heroine route.
That also leads to a bad ending.
The Seo Eun-ha route was a route that the player could take when Jin Se-rin died while belonging to the Seongjin Group.
As Jin Se-rin dies due to the invasion of demons and loses her precious team members, Seo Eun-ha becomes consumed by self-torture and a desire for revenge.
At this time, if she is completely consumed by self-torture and revenge, she will take the bad ending route.
There is a happy ending when she overcomes self-torture and revenge, blooms her beliefs, and saves the world.
What Seo Eun-ha saw was the bad ending route, so she must have seen herself going crazy for her revenge.
And since it is her heroine route, she must have already been in a relationship with Kang Seo-jun.
In the bad ending route, Seo Eun-ha, who was crazy about her revenge, makes unreasonable demands on Kang Seo-jun by saying, “If you really love me!”
In response to the unreasonable demands, Kang Seo-jun undertakes a gate attack with an extremely low probability of success, and as a result, he is seriously injured and becomes disabled for life.
Only then does Seo Eun-ha struggle to find her way to somehow restore Kang Seo-jun, feeling guilty that she has driven her precious person who has always been by her side to her death in her madness for revenge. .
In the process, Seo Eun-ha finds the ‘Altar of Return’.
A mysterious monument embedded in the summit of Mount Everest, where mana storms rage non-stop 365 days a year.
It was a miraculous artifact that could turn everything back.
However, Seo Eun-ha never thought that it could turn back time.
They say she can undo everything, so she just wanted to return Kang Seo-jun’s body, which had been damaged by a curse and a fatal wound, back to its original state.
Perhaps my mind was half broken and I couldn’t make a sound decision.
Seo Eun-ha, who placed Kang Seo-jun’s body on the altar of her return, faces harsh consequences.
By offering Kang Seo-jun’s body as a sacrifice, it was like turning back the world’s time.
Seo Eun-ha returned to her past young body, but Kang Seo-jun lost all mana and good characteristics and returned to a body that inherited only all kinds of curses and fatal wounds.
Seo Eun-ha’s spirit is shattered when she realizes that she has once again made an irreversible mistake.
In the end, she fell into delusional disorder and was unable to maintain her sanity for a while.
When Kang Seo-jun came to his senses, surprisingly, he had become the chairman of Sungjin Group.
Using her knowledge of the future, she achieved legendary results and received enthusiastic support from the board of directors.
But couldn’t the world be saved with just one regression? Or, even if he had knowledge of the future, was there a limit to Kang Seo-jun’s broken body?
In the end, the world faced destruction once again.
And now.
Considering that Seo Eun-ha herself was living in the present, forgetting everything about her, perhaps Kang Seo-jun sacrificed his body to save the world again after her second destruction, continuously inheriting her wounds and curse. That her aloneness was a repetition of her regression.
Seo Eun-ha thought so.
“If there’s something you want to solve for me… Right now… Ugh…!?”
Kang Seo-jun lightly flicked the tip of Seo Eun-ha’s nose as she muttered with her head down.
“An absurd misunderstanding….”
Seo Eun-ha looked at Kang Seo-jun with round eyes and immediately lowered her gaze again.
Her shoulders were shaking.
If Seo Eun-ha was left in this state, it seemed like some kind of accident would happen in the near future.
There was a need to rectify the situation at least a little.
“You are mistaken.”
Since the memories she saw of her were facts that clearly happened in her last episode, it cannot be said that she was just mistaken, but there was one thing she was clearly mistaken about.
“Right now, I have no regrets toward Seo Eun-ha.”
Kang Seo-jun did not have any grudge against Seo Eun-ha.
It wasn’t real, it happened in a game, and for Kang Seo-jun, it was just a memory, so if he had any regrets, that was even weirder.
“Ah…”
But to Seo Eun-ha, those words had a completely different meaning.
It means that there are no emotions.
If you give up even the slightest expectation on a person, you cannot feel anger, resentment, or disappointment towards that person.
No matter what that person does, we just take it for granted, saying that he is just that kind of person.
Seo Eun-ha thought to Kang Seo-jun that she was that kind of person.
“I see… I see…”
Seo Eun-ha’s face was filled with tears.
Her lower lip was wrinkled, as if she was desperately trying to hold back tears.
“Uh…”
This is not it….
Kang Seo-jun just rolled his eyes in embarrassment.
[Intelligence: 9]
It was a moment where quickness was important, but because my intelligence stat was low, I had no idea what to say to make the situation better.
“I understand…”
In the heavy atmosphere, the first to move was Seo Eun-ha.
She took out one of her wooden boxes from her arms.
It was a box containing Mine’s necklace that Kang Seo-jun had requested.
Seo Eun-ha lowered her head and held out her wooden box with both hands.
Kang Seo-jun received it and checked the contents.
Inside the wooden box, Mine’s necklace that Kang Seo-jun had requested was neatly placed.
“It was really rude to stay late at night.”
Seo Eun-ha bowed her head deeply.
She then turned her body as if she was running away.
This was because she thought she had no shame in even standing in front of Kang Seo-jun.
“Now, wait a minute.”
– Plop!
Kang Seo-jun grabbed Seo Eun-ha’s wrist without realizing it.
It was because I felt that if I let it go like this, everything I had to do with Seo Eun-ha in the future would be disrupted.
“Ugh…!”
Seo Eun-ha’s shoulders shrank.
Kang Seo-jun put her will into the hand she held.
“I don’t regret any moment I spent with you. And I don’t want you to get hurt.”
Seo Eun-ha’s head moved very slowly towards Kang Seo-jun.
Kang Seo-jun waited until she made eye contact with her and then she spoke.
“In this life, I will not give up or abandon anyone.”
His eyes were filled with sincerity.
The tears in Seo Eun-ha’s eyes grew even deeper.
Soon a single tear ran down her cheek.
As she quickly turned her head and tried to wipe away her tears, Kang Seo-jun pulled her wrist.
-Width!
Seo Eun-ha’s small face was buried in Kang Seo-jun’s chest.
-Whoop!
A snorting sound was heard from under his chin.
A hot and wet sensation spread widely across my chest.
Seo Eun-ha’s hand was trembling as she grabbed the hem of Kang Seo-jun’s clothes.
Kang Seo-jun carefully held his trembling hand.
How many minutes had passed for him?
After calming down a little, Seo Eun-ha took half a step back from her and turned her back.
-Sniff. Sniff. Hmm.
Then, after wiping the tears and snot from his face and adjusting his clothes, he looked at Kang Seo-jun again.
Kang Seo-jun sighed silently.
It was because there was still guilt in her expression.
Even if Kang Seo-jun forgave her, she would not be able to forgive herself.
Seo Eun-ha nodded without saying a word and walked away.
Kang Seo-jun couldn’t catch her this time either.
“Seup…. Hmm…”
Kang Seo-jun slowly sighed and muttered.
“Hidden DLC… It’s a bit difficult.”
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
About 10 minutes ago.
Lim Chae-won’s dorm room.
She was lying on the bed in her pajamas and watching a drama.
The title of her drama is [She Likes You Too, Too, Her Wife].
It was a story about a man who had a secret affair with a maid despite having a wife he loved.
-Slap!
“Oh wow.”
The wife slapped the male protagonist hard on the cheek.
[Bad guy….]
The development of the drama was reaching its peak.
The main character, who was meeting with her maid without his wife’s knowledge, ended up having their secret affair discovered.
-Cry!
The man held his cheek and cried out with wide eyes.
[I love two women at the same time! Falling in love is not a sin!!]
“Wow. Is this guy crazy? Tsk tsk tsk tsk.”
Lim Chae-won was impressed.
-Slap!
My wife’s hand rose again.
[Um, crazy guy… ! You are a monster… !]
Her wife left without looking back.
[Sorry…. Even if I hadn’t come between the two of you…. I am…. I’ll leave….]
The maid looked up at the male protagonist with despairing eyes.
The male protagonist’s eyes widened once again.
[No! There is no need for that!]
-Wow!
The male protagonist hugged his maid with the force of bursting into laughter.
[Even if I have to face death, every moment I spent with you. I have no regrets! I will fight and win it all! You also! And her wife never gives up either!]
[Black…. Mr. Junseo….]
[To be continued in the next episode….]
“Oh, it was delicious.”
Lim Chae-won took out her earphones and stretched with a satisfied expression.
“Ugh….”
Now it’s time to sleep.
I placed my cell phone on the wireless charger and turned off the light on the bed stand.
-Width!
Then he buried his little head in the soft pillow and closed his eyes.
-Roaring.
“Huh?”
However, Lim Chae-won’s eyes quickly opened again when he heard a sound coming from outside.
“What? At this hour.”
Lim Chae-won got off the bed and approached the front door.
-Roaring.
The rumbling sound could be heard not far away.
Lim Chae-won raised her senses to level B and focused on the sounds she heard.
– Turder. Turtle.
Someone was walking this way.
Lim Chae-won looked outside the front door through an external microscope.
– Turder. Turtle.
-Black…. Sniff!
“……?”
Jin Serin was passing by the door, wiping the corners of her eyes.
He was quietly sobbing, making noises like he was sniffling, and anyone could see that he looked like he was crying.
“What…?”
Furthermore, the direction she walked towards was beyond the central stairs….
“That’s the men’s room…”
Jin Se-rin, the daughter of Sungjin Group, which is competing for first and second place in the business world, and one of the promising candidates of this season, is sniffling as she comes out of the men’s dormitory in the late morning.
“I can’t stand this.”
Im Chae-won, overcome with uncontrollable curiosity, opened the door without a sound.
Her base is Archer.
If she decided to kill the sound and presence, she could not read her presence with any sense.
Lim Chae-won narrowed her eyes and looked toward the men’s dormitory through the crack in her door.
Two human figures were glimmering in the dim light.
She further heightened her senses, reaching her B level.
Soon, Lim Chae-won’s two pupils dilated significantly.
‘Kang Seo-jun… ? And next to it….’
Seo Eun-ha!?
Jin Serin’s closest attendant and A-rank hunter.
He was also a person in Lim Chae-won’s database.
‘Why at this time…. Those two together….’
Even Seo Eun-ha was crying, and Kang Seo-jun was holding Seo Eun-ha’s wrist with a solemn expression.
‘What is it?’
Lim Chae-won’s eyes grew so big that they seemed like they were about to pop out.
But the shock started now.
[I don’t regret any moment I spent with you.]
‘What… ?’
For a moment, a line from the drama she had just watched flashed through Lim Chae-won’s mind, but she shook her head once and focused on the sight of the two again.
‘What is the situation… ?’
[And I don’t want you to get hurt. In this life, I will not give up or abandon anyone.]
-Wow!
‘Uh…. Uh oh… !?’
Lim Chae-won’s eyes and mouth opened wide at the scene that followed.
Seo Eun-ha was sobbing, her small shoulders shaking, in Kang Seo-jun’s arms.
-Talk….
Lim Chae-won closed her front door as quietly as possible.
Then she returned to the bed and lay down as quietly as possible.
Her eyes and mouth were still wide open.
‘Again, Kang Seo-jun made a woman cry… ! ‘Two people at the same time!’
Even those two women are Jin Se-rin and Seo Eun.
‘Don’t even talk to me!!’
I thought it made no sense to myself, but I couldn’t help but think that the drama I just watched overlapped with the situation just now.
‘No way… !’
Her eyes and mouth could not close until the sun rose.
