Emperor! Can You See Stats!?

[END] Chapter 205: Epilogue

Eurius opened his eyes in a strange space.

Fzzt.

Fzzt-fzzt.

Fzzt-fzzt-fzzt.

As he regained his senses, he saw countless noises passing by in front of him.

They were notification windows that appeared and then vanished with a crackling sound.

‘What is this?’

[The system is disappearing from this world. You have eliminated the culprit.]

“…!?”

Eurius lifted his head and looked at the figure… no, the giant snake in front of him. 

He recognized the voice he had heard before.

“You are Heimdall. The supreme god of this world…”

[Yes, I talked to you through the statue before. Now I have brought you to a special space.]

“…!?”

Eurius tried to sort out his thoughts. 

In front of him, the noises kept flying by.

‘It seems that I defeated Lee Cheongmun and his soul transfer was undone. 

And so the system itself is disappearing from this world.’

That was obvious. But why did Heimdall call him here?

[First of all, there are some beings who want to say goodbye to you.]

“Goodbye?”

“Me.”

[You slept for a long time.]

“Yellow Dragon?”

The two figures, no, the person and the dragon who appeared were none other than Emperor Sharnos and Yellow Dragon. Heimdall explained to him.

[He can return to his original world now. And Yellow Dragon is my divine beast who has completed his mission and returned to my side.]

“Thank you. Thanks to you, I finally finished this annoying game.”

The emperor smiled and reached out his hand. 

Eurius looked slightly worried for some reason.

“Even if you go back, it will be two hundred years later… Wouldn’t it be better to reincarnate here?”

“What are you talking about! How can I live in this place where there is no game, no TV! I’d rather go to a strange place that is modern!”

He made a ridiculous expression and joked, then smiled again.

“Thank you for your concern. But they said they would adjust the time axis for me here, so I don’t think I’ll be too late to go back.”

He said that the time felt in each world was different. 

It was not difficult for a being with divine power to provide such a service.

“I won’t forget you.”

“You too, live well here.”

[Do you want to log out YES / NO]

This time, he finally pressed YES.

Zap!

At last, the emperor escaped from this world.

[To be honest, I think it was a miracle that you solved this problem.]

The next one who spoke to Eurius was a small golden dragon. 

Yellow Dragon still had not changed his personality and grumbled.

[But.]

“…!?”

[I think there would have been no human who could solve this problem if it wasn’t for you.]

“…”

[That’s all I have to say. There will be no more involvement between me, a divine beast, and humans.]

Snort.

Eurius laughed out loud. 

This was Yellow Dragon’s way of complimenting him.

“I thought you were a good sword, even though your mouth was harsh. Thank you for your help all this time.”

[Hmph! Just practice hard.]

Yellow Dragon disappeared with those words.

“Hey! You didn’t even say goodbye.”

Eurius made a regretful expression and Heimdall spoke to him.

[He thinks he can see you again.]

“Me?”

[Didn’t he say practice? Humans also have something called ascension. In your case, it might be possible if your realm of nothingness becomes higher.]

“Oh…”

Eurius realized why Yellow Dragon disappeared so casually. 

He wanted him to reach a higher place and come to meet him.

‘He’s still prickly until the end. No, maybe it’s not the end?’

“…”

Eurius thought of Yellow Dragon for a moment and finally received his last task.

[Now it’s my turn.]

“Is it you?”

[Yes, you have done a great deed, so you deserve a reward, don’t you?]

“A reward?”

[Think of it as a clear bonus in the terms of that world. What do you want? With my power, I can grant almost any wish within the human range.]

Heimdall slowly explained the reward to him. 

He could raise his soul level and send him to the heavenly realm right away, where he could obtain eternal life. 

Or he could give him a more powerful ability, even if it was not a stat window.

“Hmm…”

But what Eurius asked for was unexpected even for a god.

“Please save my brother, Leonhardt. You are a god, so that should be possible, right?”

[Huh?]

Leon had been shattered into pieces while killing Ichungmun, and there was no way to save him. But with the power of a god, reviving one person would not be difficult.

[I can do that, but are you really satisfied with that?]

It seemed like a small-scale wish for a god to grant. But Eurius did not care.

“Isn’t he my brother, after all? And I have already achieved what I wanted. I think it is right to do things like ascension with my own power.”

[…]

Heimdall looked at Eurius with his snake eyes.

[You really have no greed, do you? Is it because you came back to life once?]

“Maybe that’s part of it.”

[I see. I will grant your wish without fail. Then I look forward to seeing you later.]

Whooosh!

Zzzzt!

A dazzling light burst in the space. 

Eurius closed his eyes as he watched the disappearing noises. He muttered softly.

‘It’s over now. Or is it the beginning?’

***

It was a very sunny day.

That day, the capital of the empire was bustling with cheers and guests from outside.

[SCharnos Empire Emperor’s Coronation Ceremony]

Today was the day when the owner of the continent changed. 

And since that owner was such a hot topic, this coronation ceremony was more crowded than any other in history.

The citizens were busy talking about it whenever they gathered.

“But who gives the crown that the pope should wear? Wasn’t the Holy Kingdom already in the process of dissolution?”

“Shh! There are still many believers who can’t accept reality. Be careful what you say!”

“Geez… It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? The priests of the Holy Kingdom lost their power all at once.”

“His Majesty the current emperor, or rather His Majesty who will become the Great Emperor, will give it himself, they say. Well, isn’t that natural?”

Buzz buzz.

The capital of the empire had been noisy ever since the big fight that took place there. 

And because of the unprecedented events such as the dissolution of the Holy Kingdom, the continent was restless every day.

The imperial palace was no exception.

“Hurry up and get ready! His Highness Eurius has already finished preparing.”

Mareus ran out of the palace with an agility that did not suit his old age. 

Today’s coronation ceremony was specially held outdoors at Eurius’ request.

As he ran out hastily, MarIus wondered.

‘But isn’t it strange? The capital square is not a very interesting place, so why did he choose it as the coronation venue?’

“Everyone be quiet!”

“We will now begin the OOth coronation ceremony of the Sharnos Empire!”

“Eek! I’m late!”

MarIus quickly ran and got on a carriage heading to the square.

***

“Crown Prince Eurius, come up to the stage!”

Eurius climbed up to the high stage set up on the square.

The stage was about the size of a two-story building and anyone in the square could see him. 

He couldn’t help but recall his past memories here.

‘I was beheaded here in the past.’

But surprisingly, he didn’t feel any aversion. 

Rather, he chose this place as his coronation venue because he thought it was most appropriate to start his new beginning here.

Clack!

Soon Eurius reached the top of the stage. 

There were several ministers and the emperor with a solemn expression waiting for him.

“Crown Prince Eurius, do you swear to devote your body and mind for the peace and future of the empire?”

“I swear.”

A few more formal questions and answers followed. 

Soon, the most important moment of the coronation ceremony came.

“Then I will give Crown Prince Eurius the emperor’s crown!”

“Your Highness Crown Prince! Please come forward.”

All eyes in the square were on Eurius as he slowly walked. 

The moment he wore the crown. 

Eurius would no longer be a prince, but a rightful owner of this empire.

But his behavior was a bit strange.

Thud!

“…!?”

The crowd stirred. 

Eurius had been walking towards the emperor who was holding the crown, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks. 

Then he turned his body and looked around at the people.

The first thing he saw were the citizens of the empire. 

The people who used to scream for his death like a demon in the past were now looking at him with curiosity and admiration in their eyes.

The second place he looked at was where his subordinates were. 

They seemed to have adapted to Eurius’s unexpected actions, as they had calm expressions on their faces.

Cains, who was pretending to be indifferent, Marius, who had a slight vein popping on his forehead, and Beatrice, who was looking at him with a worried face.

The scenery had changed from the past. 

And something had changed even more in less than a month.

Trudge trudge.

He moved his steps again.

The emperor’s crown was placed on his head for the second time.

“Behold the new emperor of the empire!”

“Long live the emperor!”

At that moment, everyone in the square knelt down or prostrated themselves, bowing their heads deeply. 

Even the former emperor was no exception.

But what was important to Eurius was not that.

‘I can’t see anything. But it’s amazing.’

Eurius could no longer see the stats in his eyes. But even so, he felt like he knew what people were thinking.

He looked at the people he cared about.

He also gazed at the person he loved.

‘I don’t care if I can’t see the stats anymore.’

Eurius finally smiled and waved his hand.

“Woooooooh!”

That day, a high-pitched cheer that had never been heard before in the capital of the empire echoed throughout.
