Chapter. 15. Can someone who has seen the end of the world plant an apple tree? (5)
****
Come on, let’s think rationally. Reasonably, logically, rationally.
first of all. Would it be better to look for more reinforcements here, or would it be better to take advantage of the Mute force’s hesitation and launch an all-out offensive with all the power it has gathered so far without giving it time to recover?
In the past, I would have naturally chosen the former, but looking at my current situation, I think the latter would not be a bad choice.
First of all, Roderick. Most of the country was taken over by Mute, turning it into a land where chambermaids here and there looked like monuments, but the king survived anyway, the knights who served the king also survived, and as befits the name of the country of knights, the will to fight is strong.
case history. Most Roderick elites are warriors. However, reinforcements were sent from the Federation of Free Cities and Teldrat, which did not want to expand the war beyond Roderick, and now, in an effort to relieve the private soldiers of noble families, His Majesty the God Emperor Gainax has decided to send a huge number of soldiers as reinforcements. Since many of the grassland tribes beyond Haunuman began migrating to Rodrik in search of new lands, it can be said that the number of cavalry units has increased considerably.
Elite. First of all, as long as it is not run by a really bad person, it is the same in any world where warriors from all over the world gather under the auspices of the religious order. Right now, hero units from all over are active on the Roderick front. In addition, the Church of Mercy that recovered the saint promised cooperation, and the Church of Gwangmyeong will send troops wherever I go to protect me, who has become the center of the church. Basic hero unit set + very active cooperation from two of the five major denominations + pure-blood elves who reluctantly cooperate because of the World Tree. I didn’t see the battlefield with my own eyes, but magic power was definitely there to provide support, and since our party was there, the elite power was pretty good.
Who is your opponent? First of all, the supply that was lacking in the beginning due to the evil mythology mute queen must have been replenished.
Named unit. Bajyur dies (presumed). Counselor and Supporter Falcatus. Edeorna (recovering from injury or evolving after recovery). Given some time, two or three more names would have appeared.
———
– professor: How are you? At this level… won’t we be able to see the ending without any other reinforcements?
– Noru Drug: It won’t come out?
– professor: No, why? Still, you’ve grown to this extent, right? I defeated Edeorna in Wuthering Heights, and I also defeated a witch who was almost a god in the Empire!
– takealook: Hey, while you’re playing the game well, at least once you think, ‘If it’s up to me…?’ Top players who fall into conceit! We have prepared this for you~ A swordsman who is not to be singled out! A video of a duel between the strongest Argalian Sword and Emperor Cheonryu! And, a video to stop the final evolution of Edeorna, which is similar to the Argalian Sword!
———
As I was trying to somehow avoid going to the desert like this, a video sent by that guy came to mind.
Villages and cities completely buried by landslides.
The plateau became flat after the two swordsmen who were responsible for the landslide fought and cut down an entire mountain.
Every time there was a flash of light, the mountain peaks that were once spectacular were cut like butter, and the clouds dispersed to reveal an ear-piercing metallic sound, revealing a barren sky.
A battle between people who split the sky and split mountains with each swing of their swords. This is the level of those who are said to be the strongest in the 3 world.
This means that the Argalian Sword is an ally, but if left alone, the humans will lose. This means that there is a monster of this size on the other side as well.
Every time I refuted something, a scary video popped up in the chat room.
For example, the final evolved form of Edeorna, which alternates between a completely human-like form and an exterior the size of a church bell tower spread out on its back.
A video of Bazyur destroying an entire elite knight corps that uses auras, along with the castle.
This is a video where a giant caterpillar-like mute lands on the cordon that was thought to have been almost completely breached and immediately hits the wall, dragging on for three or four days.
Umm…. Well. It’s just that I couldn’t clear it, but there have been quite a few players who have come close to clearing it. Everyone said, ‘This should be enough!’ And then we entered the final battle, and everyone’s heads were broken by the beasts that came out of nowhere.
———
– Jokass: Even after this, do you think it’s still worth doing? huh? In your world, you were even upgraded to an evil god instead of a queen? It even seems like he’s a prosperity and survival type god, so what do you think will happen if he just throws in a special move like massive resurrection or limited immortality when he’s cornered? Don’t you know that when you imagine the worst in GG, it’s always worse?
– professor: ….you know.
– Jokass: Well, now that there is no need to go to the elf forest, there is some time left. At this point, there is an opportunity to gather more strength, but it doesn’t make sense to go to Roderick just because it’s annoying and you think this will be enough, right? If I fail, I might remain in this body forever?
– professor: No… it won’t work. Umm….
– Jokass: Now there are two options left. It’s easy to get lost because there are only trees everywhere you look, let alone a road, and the distance is so far that it takes four weeks to go back and forth, and no matter how well you listen, they are a sub-race with a different way of thinking, so they are human. With the southern major forest that can only be forced into the organization. Taklan, a desert country where you can travel quickly along the wide highways of the three eastern countries, and whose high-ranking officials have a very close relationship with you. There is no doubt about which one is the ‘rational’ rational choice, right?
– professor: Well, um…
– Jokass: Are you going to the desert? huh? Should I go?
———
Damn, that ignorant bastard really is.
The professor had no choice but to keep his mouth shut due to the logic that even the normally fierce man could not believe.
I know. Even before I said it in the first place, I knew that going to the desert would be the best use of the free time I happened to have.
But, you can see it.
———
– Speed Wagon: ….
———
I’m scared to death of just sitting still, but I’m scared to death of just putting four dots like that in a chat room while saying ‘I’m thinking’! Maybe I’m thinking some scary thoughts while fiddling with the power cord next to my real body.
Although Dana is said to have a weak body, in a world where one must be strong in some way to survive, the fact that she has survived until now with a weaker body than others means that she may actually be more strong than others.
‘Come to think of it, I haven’t even heard of how Dana survived in that body and even brought hospital equipment into the underground library.’
If you know it, wouldn’t that woman’s past be more incredible than mine? I was living in the basement of a ruin where a lot of things had collapsed. She was just driving around on heavy construction equipment and said, ‘If I leave it alone, my life will die, but it’s worth more than the rest of all of your lives combined.’ While doing this, they killed a dozen scavengers one by one.
As the anxious professor’s imagination deepens amid Dana’s silence, the past Dana is becoming something closer to Sarah Connor.
———
– Speed Wagon: I think it’s right to go to the desert, too.
———
Finally, she gave permission.
———
– Speed Wagon: As I said before, it’s a life-threatening matter. It doesn’t make sense to calculate and stop in a situation where even if you push yourself to the limit, it’s not enough.
– Speed Wagon: I know. My relationship with the professor is a bit abnormal. We’ve known each other for 7 years without even knowing each other, and we’ve only talked face to face for less than a day, but I know that it’s presumptuous to say that we’re lovers and that we share our feelings.
– Noru Drug: Hey there.
– Speed Wagon: But, always living as if we’ve forgotten, everyone here doesn’t have much time. Every winter, there is an event where names are called out one by one in chat rooms to see if there are any dead people, and so many people die and are forgotten that it passes as a daily occurrence.
– Speed Wagon: Professor, you are already biologically close to dead, and I have already exceeded the lifespan the doctor said. The game is over, all the extra time has passed, why doesn’t the referee blow the whistle? At the moment when I was doubting, I met you and for the first time in my life, I had someone in my heart.
– Speed Wagon: I’m embarrassed to say this, but I’m in a hurry. I’m scared that you’ll disappear at some point and die before I can relieve the sadness. Just as you’re feeling awkward right now, I’m anxious that you’ll disappear without leaving anything behind after this ‘abnormal meeting’.
———
“Uh, uh… Dana? Hey, um…”
———
– Speed Wagon: That’s right! …I want you to come out in the safest and fastest way. please. If there is anything you can do, please do everything. It won’t matter where you go, whether it’s the desert or space. Don’t be a burden, just do what needs to be done.
Tiring-!
[Player ‘Speed Wagon’ has left the chat room!]

“note….”
After Dana left, leaving behind a barrage of letters with no room for anyone to intervene, the cursor in the chat room was just blinking quietly, swallowing unfocused eyes and silent swear words.
———
– Roru Drug: Ugh, head to head.
– Jokass: A blessed cub.
———
What fell on the professor, whose face was gaping, was a cold criticism from the official couple in the District 47 chat room.
———
– professor: Did I, uh, do something wrong?
– Jokass: When he is in front of nobles, politicians, emperors, etc., his head moves like a 4D supercomputer, and in situations like this, he crashes to the level of an abacus.
– Noru Drug: Our Dana also happens to fall for a guy like that, and it’s frustrating. It’s such a shame I’m dying, really. Even if I try to speak or not speak…
– Heungan Mandu: Hey.
– professor: No, I mean, um, I didn’t do something, what I did wrong…
– Noru Drug: Don’t you know? Do you really not know? A guy with such a good head that you can’t tell if it’s a show of power or a show of brain power doesn’t know? This is shit@#*&*@#^!^&f*ck@#&*^!!!
———
what? What is this atmosphere?
Suddenly, Dana got excited and started spouting out words, but there was no reaction as if everyone expected that to happen. Rather, it seems like they are treating me strangely because I don’t know anything about what this is…?
———
– Noru Drug: You did something wrong because you didn’t do it, you idiot! Ah-oh! It’s really not in front of me, so I can’t dig it up! hey! When your broadcast is cut off and you are completely cut off from the outside world! That was only five hours ago, five hours! You either fell asleep or fainted, so it would have passed in an instant, but this was like breaking news: ‘Professor Park finally dies! Silent Dom, did the hero ultimately fail to return to life?’ It was only five hours ago that the same article was poured into the community, you damned idiot! Dana, I prepared once when you were brought in like that, and I had to make up my mind again five hours ago! What? Be prepared to face Professor Park, who was eventually left behind!
– Jokass: Nilly, let’s stop. You promised everyone here not to do this. Let’s not worry for no reason.
– Durg: Stop it, stop it! Even if you don’t know the 180-year-old, you should know it to the fullest extent! You just ignore it because you’re being considerate, so you’re thinking it’s nothing serious! hey! I went to visit Dana’s hospital room. I looked through my closet to get some pretty clothes, and there were only two sets: a white hospital gown and a black mourning gown. Damn! If your head is that good, can you please allocate a little bit to this area? uh! He’s like a dried crumb in a real bastard’s asshole-
– Jokass: Oh my, he’s excited again. Hey, we also went out in moderation. I’ll calm him down and come back, so think about it alone.
———
I couldn’t hear a few words, but it was enough to infer the conversation that took place in his absence.
People who know everything about the clear or die situation.
I was watching a live broadcast that was alive and well, but the live broadcast suddenly turned off. The silence of the dome and the rumors spreading quickly.
People preparing to accept the death of the human Professor Park.
I’ve pictured the situation in my head many times, but I’ve never really thought about it.
‘Why didn’t I think of it? When I first encountered the World Tree. I was so anxious that I couldn’t even ask, but as soon as I opened my mouth, the question that came out was [Am I dead?] The emotions I faced must have felt the same to others. And without anyone answering right away like me, it continues until the broadcast comes back.’
I never once thought about the situation where I was the one being left behind rather than the one being left behind.
On the other hand, Dana, who was born with a congenital heart disease, was the opposite of me, and lived a life prepared to leave for others at any time.
And then, we just saw each other face to face and said hello. Just when their little feelings for each other were about to bloom, the District 38 Orpheus incident occurred. People from her dome took her in front of the corpse of her mutant and introduced her as me. You are an acquaintance. It may be difficult to accept, but I think you need to prepare your mind… etc. This is the situation she faces.
‘I’m anxious.’
You probably felt it with your own skin at that time. Whether it’s a chronic illness or something else, you never know when, where, or who you might lose in the wasteland.
When the emotion she had felt for the first time seemed to have no place to go, she held on to it with great difficulty, clinging desperately to it and growing it in front of me, who was in a vegetative state. Four months while Dome’s scientists searched for my data in the game. When I woke up, I thought, ‘He’s just a pretty person who likes me. But it was a speed wagon!’ When you only have a certain amount of emotions. What was she thinking when she held my hand and hugged me?
———-
– Holly: One day, Dana said that. Now she understands the look in her mother’s eyes that turned her head every time she saw her sister smiling. Every time she saw her bright image, her sister’s portrait photo and the smoke of her incense reminded her of the moment she would remember as her last memory. That’s the look in her eyes as she faces a loved one who may die at any moment. So I said I wanted to share even one more word, even just for a moment, more intensely. I know that the other person has less emotions than I do, but I’m so anxious that I can’t care about such things.
– Holly: Ugh, actually, my sister told me not to say this too.
———
I didn’t know. After the Orpheus incident, was there a backstory to Dana’s sudden confession that appeared before me like a ghost in the connector?
Just as I am accustomed to preparing for the end of people around me, I never imagined that there would be a moment when other people would prepare and accept my end.
Dana tried to convey her feelings while trying to accept my death, which could come at any time.
I didn’t know. I’ve never felt this way before, so I really didn’t know.
———
– takealook: Honestly, you should have said it first. Nothing much happened. Just a little more and you can safely go out and see it. I won’t die. Isn’t that basic?
– professor: I think I need to message Dana right now…
– Holly: It’s late. My sister had a really important health checkup today, and when the professor said she was fine, she rushed out of the doctor’s office. She’s probably back in the doctor’s office by now. She might not come back to the chat room at all because she doesn’t want to be a burden.
———
frustrated. I wanted to go out and do something, but I was trapped in this world.
There are a lot of words in your mouth, but there is no one to listen to you.
“Oh… I have been worrying for a long time. “Don’t you know where to go?”
The old wizard’s voice flowed into his ears, which were red with shame, embarrassment, and regret. The professor, thinking of the best apology he could make right now, opened his mouth to him.
“I’m going to the East…where the desert country is.”
“It’s the east… I guess we’ll take advantage of the dry wind.”
I’m going. The fastest way to clear it completely without even a single hair getting hurt.
By doing so, I planned to stop feeling anxious.
