Dimensional Wanderer – Login in a world on the verge of an apocalypse

5 – World 11. Terms of the transaction (3)

“…”

I looked at the giant man in silence at the answer of God’s curse.

Just like when I said I had just come from another dimension, there was an inexplicable silence.

The man must have felt that too, and let out a heavy sigh filled with lamentation.

“I know. You don’t believe in the existence of God either.”

“No, it’s not that I don’t believe it.”

It was true.

In the first place, I even signed a contract with the creator god.

In addition, there was a time when he encountered a being called God while passing through 10 worlds.

However, it seemed that it had not been seen in a world where science and technology had developed.

Then the man asked me with a suspicious look.

“Do you really believe it?”

“Yes. So tell me about the curse of God.”

The man who gave me a suspicious look at the fact that I trusted him, finally opened his mouth.

“It started with Leviten City.”

Leviten City.

A large city with a population of 120 million.

The man said that one research and experiment was being repeated in the place where the population was large and the infrastructure was well built like a big city.

“It must have been no ordinary experiment.”

“It was literally no ordinary experiment. It was nothing other than an experiment to open a dimensional door.”

Dimension gate?

“Could it be that it was an experiment to connect to another dimension?”

“I don’t know the details either. But one thing is for sure, it’s half-successful.”

“If you succeed…?”

“In the middle of the experiment, an unknown monster popped out.”

At the word monster, I tilted my head.

Under the circumstances, it seemed that the monster I was talking about came from another dimension.

‘Wasn’t it a person?’

When I heard that someone other than me came from another dimension, I thought it was a human, but when I heard it, it was pointing to a monster.

“Isn’t that what people came over?”

“When did I say I was human?”

“…”

Looking back on my memory, I definitely never said it was a person.

“Anyway, that was the beginning of the disaster.”

I listened to the story of a man in silence.

A monster that came out of a dimensional door.

It was said to be approximately 500 meters tall and had a black smoke-like shape, with dozens of bloody eyes and sharp teeth.

As soon as the monster appeared, it immediately turned everyone in Leviten City into a black monster and advanced to the next city.

“It took less than an hour until then.”

The overwhelming sight that turned 120 million people into monsters in less than an hour brought an emergency to all cities.

‘······From what I’ve heard, it doesn’t seem like an ordinary monster.’

Turning 120 million people into monsters in less than an hour?

It might be the toughest opponent in the world I’ve ever been through.

‘Do I have to catch and get rid of that monster here?’

In the meantime, the man’s words continued.

“In the city, they fired various long-range missiles and attacked, but they didn’t budge. It didn’t seem to take any damage.”

“So how did it go?”

The only damage caused by the missile bombardment was a human who changed into a black form.

The advance of the monster could not be slowed in the slightest.

And when the monster devours the second city and advances to the third city, the rulers of all the cities realize the seriousness of the situation and make drastic decisions.

“A drastic decision?”

“I decided to drop the death star.”

Death star?

Based on the stories about the monster I’ve heard so far, I can’t even guess that it’s a half-way weapon.

To be honest, in every dimension I’ve been through, wouldn’t it be the last adversary I encountered?

It felt like the final boss, for example.

“It’s an antimatter bomb. I dropped that antimatter bomb and annihilated it.”

huh?

The term antimatter bomb was surprising.

But what followed was even more surprising.

“Did you destroy it?”

“Simply put, it means knocking it down.”

“…”

I was dumbfounded when I heard that I had solved the problem with the weapons of this world without having to step forward.

“The problem came after I defeated him. Right before it perished, the monster spread its will across the world.”

“Your own will?”

“I can only explain it like that. But at that time, all over the world, people listened to the monster’s will.”

[I will curse this world with death.]

“Then the ‘death fog’ began to spread all over the world.”

“The fog of death…”

After briefly hearing the background of this world, I was lost in thought for a moment.

‘Could this world get rid of that fog?’

It was different from the world I had been through so far.

At that time, if you defeated a specific target that threatened humanity, now you had to solve the fog phenomenon.

It is also a fog that spreads all over the world.

‘What’s better than risking your life to fight?’

There was no need to risk one’s life to get rid of the fog, so there was a high possibility that the world would be safely spent this time.

So, with a slightly relieved heart, I asked about the fog.

“Tell me about the death fog.”

“Outwardly, it is a black mist. However, if a person inhales it, it dies within 24 hours and comes back to life as a ‘ghost’.”

“A ghost?”

“Think of it as a living corpse. There the land rots, the water pollutes, and the machinery corrodes quickly. Going out of town with such stupid words is like committing suicide.”

Just listening to the story, the word “fog of death” came to mind.

Shouldn’t it be possible to collect the fog of death and use it for attack?

Of course, just thinking.

There will be no actual use of the death fog, which is equivalent to a self-destruct ability.

“More than that, I would like to hear from you. How I came to this dimension, and how I can return to the original dimension once again.”

The man began to ask with infinitely serious eyes.

I don’t know about anything else, but in the part about going back to another dimension, there was even a small expectation.

‘The explanation itself shouldn’t be difficult.’

First of all, it seemed that the explanation would not be difficult as the man in front of him also believed in the existence of God.

“It’s long to say, but… I made a contract with a certain god. With the power of that god, I came to another dimension.”

“god? Have you ever seen God yourself?”

“Yes.”

“So it was. The reason why I was calm even after hearing that it was a curse from God.”

It was not wrong.

Another reason is that I met God a few times and went through various things while going through 10 worlds.

“Can you move through dimensions with that god’s power?”

“As you asked earlier, it is not possible to return to the original dimension.”

“Well?”

“I can only go over to a new dimension that I don’t know. That is possible only when the affairs of this world are resolved.”

“If you have to solve it to get past it, then you too will be bound to this world forever.”

The man let out a cigarette smoke with a slightly disappointed face.

Apparently, he is full of thoughts of wanting to escape from this world.

‘Isn’t that hopeless?’

I asked, remembering that the technology in this world has advanced considerably.

“Isn’t there a single solution to the death fog?”

“I see no. But if you ask if there is no way, then again, no.”

“That means there is.”

There is a way to solve the fog of death.

The man who answered that nodded with a somewhat complicated expression.

“When the fog of death covered 90% of the world, a certain will came over to this world.”

“Are you willing?”

“The will left by the monster before it dies. It was like that. It was just a will without any substance.”

Following the monster, an unknown will…

Even though I only heard the story, I thought that there was no such thing as this kind of shit.

“Anyway, the will made a suggestion to see if it grasped the situation here.”

[The curse spread by the evil god has covered the world. If you save a world, I will remove this curse.]

After making the offer, the man added further explanation.

“People are assuming that another god has appeared because the portal is open.”

“Are you not taking any action?”

“Didn’t you tell me? Going out of town is suicidal. I don’t know if it’s just fog, but even ghosts wander around…”

It was certainly not an easy decision to make.

Besides, there’s no way to close the portal.

I thought for a moment that unknown beings would continue to come through that dimensional door.

‘It’s already been over twice, so there’s no guarantee that there won’t be a third.’

However, I decided to skip it because there was no sharp number right away, so I returned to the previous topic.

“I heard that if you save a world, the curse will be removed, right?”

“That’s right. In fact, almost everyone is pinning their hopes on it.”

“Please explain in more detail.”

“Hmm. do you know the game? A game where you catch monsters and level up.”

game?

I don’t know why you’re asking that, but there’s no way I didn’t know about the game.

“It’s a game, of course you know.”

“Then it would be easier to explain. After I heard the will to remove the curse, an unknown explanation came to my mind.”

The man then explained that as well.

“It was a way to go to another dimension. How to cross the dimension by accessing like a game. Going over like that and saving humanity in that dimension is the only way to get rid of the fog of death.”

“No, going to another dimension?”

“Why are you surprised? Anyway, I couldn’t believe it at first either. I thought it was nonsense.”

The man expressed his doubts about my reaction, and then said as if he was dumbfounded even thinking about it.

“But when I logged in, it turned out to be true. Not only that, but the power I gained there could also be used here.”

“…”

“That’s why people are calling people who have gained power by going to another dimension ‘Player’.”

Player.

Those were the words Ren, who had seen my subspace before coming here, said.

With him, I could understand why I took it lightly when I was told that I was from another dimension.

It had already passed from the man in front to another dimension.
