Episode 53

Everyone must have encountered an amazing sight.

When that happens, people’s reactions are always the same.

The pupils widen and the mouth opens spontaneously. And as if your head is empty, you won’t think of anything.

now i am

I have no idea.

“Hmm. Was it a bit shocking?”

“Uh…?”

“I’ll give you a little hint. I’m honest…”

The guy is licking his lips at me.

But now I hear nothing.

This is because the shock I felt from Baek Seong-hun’s remarks still hasn’t gone away, and I haven’t been able to get out of the afterglow.

‘Is this… that perpetrator?’

The original owner of my body now.

The strongest person in the novel ‘Highlander’?

No, how could this frivolous and light-looking bastard be a perpetrator?

I unconsciously scratched my cheek.

-slap-

“John?”

-slap-

“Why are you hurting yourself all of a sudden?”

sick.

It hurts so much that my cheeks are swollen.

I said while rubbing my cheeks that were swollen red.

“… It’s just like a dream.”

“Puhahahaha! Are you still the same?”

“I said don’t laugh. I’m serious now.”

“Okay, okay. I just laughed because I was in a good mood. Don’t be so fierce.”

I still don’t understand.

I mean, is this really real?

“It’s not a dream. It’s a reality.”

“…… Yes. I can feel the pain clearly, so it must be real.”

“Khehehe.”

Baek Seong-hoon, no, Chun Hae-beom laughed for a while.

After laughing for a long time, he regained his original expression and asked me.

“There must be many things you want to say to me. Ask all of them and I will answer them wholeheartedly.”

Something I couldn’t answer right away.

Because I can’t think of it.

“I’m sure I had a lot to say… I’m bewildered when this situation comes to me. I’m so confused I can’t even think of it.”

“Do it quick dude. I don’t have time.”

“No time? Why?”

“You don’t think I’m a god? It’s a miracle that we’ve been reunited like this. And I’m bound by strict restrictions, so I’ll disappear soon.”

“What? No! Why say that now!”

“Because you didn’t ask.”

This f*ck.

let’s wait later There is no advantage to delaying any longer here.

Time is limited, so try to gather as much information as possible.

“Oh yes! What the hell are you?”

“I told you. It’s low-“

“Anything like that. How did you put me in the novel, and how did you transform me into having a dual identity with Baek Sung-hoon?”

A home you couldn’t even imagine.

And that was the question I was most curious about right now.

He gave off a nuance of thought as he stroked his chin.

“The latter is simple. Polymorph.”

“……Isn’t that a dragon-only skill?”

“There’s no law that says you can’t learn to be human.”

“It’s another one.”

Let’s just clear common sense.

Because this guy in front is out of standard.

“And the former…”

“Is he really a god?”

“No. Listen first.”

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

The playful guy’s tone also became serious.

“No matter how hard I struggle, I’m human. It’s not like I was able to put you in my world line without any risk.”

“But why me?”

The guy raised his thumb and cut his own life.

“I told you there’s a risk. The price for that was my life.”

“…… life?”

At my question, he smiled and nodded his head.

sacrificed his life in return Crazy baby.

I recognized him as a madman from long ago, but now the concentration is different.

“Wait a minute. You’re alive and well now.”

“This doesn’t last too long. The time I’ve been given is about a year at most? So it’s like being sentenced to a terminal life sentence.”

“…… I see.”

Cheon Hae-beom announces his end.

It was a grave tone that did not match the content of the miserable words.

Maybe to reassure me Because that guy used to be that kind of guy.

‘I have to match the rhythm. Can you tell me?’

I also acted expressionless as he wished.

“So, with that life, can you throw people into a different world view?”

“Yes. The price of my life must be a bit precious. I was also amazed.”

“Eh… do you want to do that even at the cost of your one and only life? What the hell did I commit?”

“It’s not because I hate you. I just…”

A fleeting moment passed, and the guy adorned the last words.

“I love this world so much.”

“Sometimes you look like a psychopath. You say things you don’t understand.”

What is the relationship between how good this world is and how I was possessed in a novel?

“The place that used to be my home. And now it’s your home. It will soon perish.”

Maybe it’s because I’ve been through countless unrealistic sights today.

I wasn’t too surprised to hear that this world line would end.

“For what?”

“I can’t tell you that. Like I just said, there are restrictions.”

“Then it’s a f*cking baby.”

“Puhahahaha! Why did the words become so harsh without seeing you?”

“Wouldn’t it be like you?”

Now the puzzle is starting to come together.

The world view of the novel ‘Highlander’ will soon perish, but only that bastard who is a perverted man is alive and well.

And after countless failures, I finally begged for my strength.

A fact was foreseen by these things.

“Ha… look at me and save this world?”

“Huh what?! How did you know?”

“I can roughly guess. There are many clichés like this in novels and movies.”

“hahahaha! That’s right!”

To be honest, I was very worried.

What should I do if I meet Baek Sung-hoon?

I just punched him to death or begged him to let me go home, so many thoughts swirled around my head…

‘I didn’t expect this development at all.’

He is risking his life to save this world.

Baek Sung-hoon, my best friend.

How can you ignore this? And…

‘I’ve been very attached to it.’

I just remembered Baek Sung-hoon’s words.

My comrades facing death in a ruined world.

I didn’t know it when I encountered it in print, but as I faced it in real life and narrowed the relationship, I guess I became attached to it without even realizing it.

Still, my safety must be guaranteed.

“Okay. Little bit, I’ll do your favor.”

“What? G, really?! Wow, Yohan! Love-“

“Instead, promise me one thing. If it’s completely resolved, you’ll send me back to the original world.”

“Yeah! Okay! Trust me! You’re my friend, can’t you do something like that?”

“Then send it right away-“

“brother.”

“… I understand. I say.”

Is this bastard really a pervert? Contrary to its majesty, it is too light and frivolous.

I heard that he is like a divine spirit looking down at the sky, but in reality he is just an idiot.

“Have you asked everything you want to ask?”

“Are you crazy? There’s still a lot more to come.”

“Hurry up. There’s no time, Yohan.”

It was the most unfair and the moment I resented Baek Sung-hoon.

Seals skills, seals talents, and seals mana.

If I don’t hear the truth about this, I can’t even sleep because I feel unfair.

“You remember what I told you.

“Yeah. That’s why I originally possessed you with my body.”

Look at that grinning face

I want to grind on the asphalt.

“By the way, you little bastard. The premise is when Cheon Haebeom was a Munchkin. All abilities are downgraded or sealed!”

“Oh, that’s a kind of restriction and risk again.”

“Ha. sh*t… I think so. Then the random box is a gift for me that you got at the cost of your life?”

“Correct answer! I’m so sorry, I prepared a present for you.”

such an irresponsible boy.

It’s not his business, he treats me like a mutt dog.

“Ehh. What kind of trouble is this because you misplaced a friend?”

“Puhuh. I’m sorry. I said I’d definitely repay the favor.”

“Okay.”

I have nothing to ask anymore.

A heavy silence fell on me, and I only got nervous.

Baek Seong-hoon looked at me like that and then stopped talking.

“John. I want you to know one thing.”

“What else. I’ll do your favor, so stop frowning. I’m still confused, but tsk.”

“That’s not it.”

The boy let out a helpless laugh.

His voice, which had always been strong, was languid.

“Where you live is not fiction. It is reality.”

“…….”

“So… treat them like ‘real’ people.”

Something hot rose from the depths of my chest.

“Especially Han Choa. He treats me better. He must have cried a lot while I was gone.”

“Jeong, then you did it.”

“You are better suited than me.”

Han Choa.

yes. He was a guy who seemed to have a lot of stories.

I forcibly squeezed out the voice that didn’t come out.

“…… Even if you don’t say anything, you’ll do well on your own. Don’t worry about it.”

“hahahaha… Yes. Since you are affectionate, I can be relieved.”

After that, it was just nonsensical talk.

how are you these days

How is our family doing?

At first, the contents were related to my current world, and as time passed, the background of the contents changed to the world of the perpetual killer.

Then, as if he had remembered something he had forgotten, he let out a loud noise.

“Oh right! Hellion! Hey Serenity, are you crazy?”

“Eh? Why Leon?”

“If you really don’t want to die, take him away right away!”

“What are you talking about? Why are you throwing Leon away?”

“Hellion. That monster is a dragon. A notorious dragon mad for slaughter.”

“Don’t worry. Hellion is docile unlike other dragons. He follows me well.”

“I’m not kidding. Stay away from the Hellions. Do you really need to hug that unstable bomb?”

why is he

You’re making a serious face that doesn’t answer.

“It explodes soon. Kill him or drive him away anyway.”

“Hey. You’re the one who makes sense. How can I kill a dragon? I’m going to get caught up in that explosion and die.”

“So run away! Stay away! I warned you. Take heed.”

… is it?

Listening to it, I think I need to distance myself a little.

Hellion is still a baby dragon.

If you have a hard head and realize your identity, you never know when they will eat me.

Think about it. According to the original story, Hellion destroys a city.

As time passes and he grows up, he can do it again.

But that…

“It doesn’t matter if I raise it properly. Rather, I can save one disaster.”

“What… taming a dragon?

“No, but I have the ability to smell the body of a dragon. You didn’t have that. That’s the difference.”

“…That’s right. Just keep your distance from Hellion. It’s better to be safe than uncertain.”

Baek Seong-hoon Why is this bastard cursing our good Hellion? I’ll beat you up

Still, I replied that I knew it to ease his worries.

“Whoa. I’ll believe you, Yohan.”

“Don’t trust me too much. I don’t trust myself either.”

“Even if you don’t trust you, I trust you. That’s why I’ve entrusted you with this important task.”

“Irresponsible bastard.”

I said that, but I was proud.

I can’t help but feel bad because that nasty man puts infinite trust in me.

I threw a bunch of irrational numbers.

“Tell me if you have anything more to ask.

“Oh! Really? Sure.”

If this guy has a conscience, he’ll ask for an easy favor.

The idea was soon shattered.

“Save the fire child.”

“Fire child?”

“Yes. We’ll see you soon. I’ll be sure to ask!”

“Hey wait-“

Darkness dwells in the bright field of view.

Baek Sung-hoon, who had a refreshing smile in front of me just a moment ago.

The guy disappeared from nowhere.
