[I remember?]
Dalbi asked.
“I don’t know.”
After hearing the undesirable answer, Dalbi shook his head roughly.
[Even if I meet Melissa, my memories won’t come back! crying!]
“calm down.”
The guy expressed his frustration with his whole body. He shook his hair vigorously like a heavy metal rocker, then raised his hands and waved them as if dancing. There was madness in the guy’s eyes. As Dalby went crazy for a while, Hoyeon hid behind me with a scared face. At first he thought Dalby was young. However, contrary to his appearance, there was an inexplicable madness that a child of that age should never show. When I compared them, I could clearly see the difference. That is not the complaint of a child, but the frustration of an adult looking into the abyss.
[Kaaaa!]
I reassured Ho-yeon and looked at Dal-bi.
The guy who was running around and making a mess of the reed forest suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand towards the sky. Dalby reached out into the empty air and made an action as if he was holding something tightly and pulling her down. I was watching his mime in confusion, and then something ‘sparkled’ in the sky and soon ‘burned’ intensely and slowly ‘rushed’ towards us. I couldn’t even scream and only let out an idiotic groan.
“Yes?”
A stone burning red from the sky and rushing towards me.
Because it fell from the sky, it is called a meteorite. The fierce force made my spine tingle. Was this how the dinosaurs felt as they watched the sky where the meteorite fell on the day of destruction? I gaped and glared at Dalby. I want to swear, but nothing comes out. Damn, what kind of ‘Fujitora’ is this? No matter how much I am a modified human, will I be able to survive if I am swept away by a meteorite explosion? The question was short. I turned my back and hugged Hoyeon, preparing for the coming shock.
“Ugh… … ! ah?”
Considering the speed of the meteorite’s fall, it would have exploded at this point –
The time I thought has passed. After a while, I swallowed and opened my eyes.
There was Dalbi holding out his hand in front of me. I slowly raised my head and looked around. The meteorite did not fall. No, I don’t know what happened. When Dalby held a small blue-and-black stone in his hand, I had the wildest imagination that he had caught a meteorite like a catcher.
[remember.]
Dalby said, looking at the stone.
[Remember your purpose, Polestar.]
Polestar? Starfall? A fallen star, a shooting star?
Dalbi is holding a shooting star and asking me.
I felt an obligation not to give a half-hearted answer due to the guy’s serious attitude. After thinking deeply, I answered with a serious expression and a confident voice.
“know.”
[really?]
I showed off my guess to Dalbi, who was happy with a bright red face.
“Okay, purpose. A journey to find the crazy doctor who reformed you and me… … .”
[In the clearing-!]
Quang!
In the distance, a meteorite fell and burned the forest. No, it can’t be a meteorite.
Dalby seems like a machine incorporating ultra-high-tech technology that far exceeds my expectations. Are they using a powerful satellite weapon that strikes from outside the planet’s orbit, the ‘Wand of God’? Dalbi is now in a very dangerous state. I don’t know what might happen if I stimulate it further.
[Polestar came to get Melissa’s power, that is! You must become the ‘king’ of the demon world! Only then can you go back, you idiot!]
I heard it from the moth man. In this world called ‘Yoma World’, which seems to be run by a strange feudal system, there is a unique ‘king’. If it is not symbolic, the king of the demon world means the king of the world. In other words, becoming king means that I have to become the most prosperous being in the world.
In terms of a game, it is the final goal and condition for victory.
Or the only way to end the game.
“Sorry, I don’t remember either.”
Whether I am ‘Dorothy’ or ‘Elise’, the story will not end if I do not move forward.
I said this to Dalby, who was so sad that he was sad.
“Still, whatever. “I will be king.”
[Daa?]
“Because you seem to know me well. Somehow, I feel like I should listen to what you say. As for the little things, while I was trying to get my memories back, I tried it all the time, oh well! ha ha ha-”
Although he joked, Dalby wasn’t angry.
Dalby, who was looking at me as if I was dumbfounded, burst into laughter briefly and disappeared somewhere.
“why?”
I asked Hoyeon.
When I just spoke, Hoyeon’s hand that was holding my hand was tense.
Hoyeon looked up at me with hesitant eyes and let go. He seemed to have something to say, but didn’t say it. I thought it was weird to even ask a question like that. I put my backpack on again. I may not know how to become a king, but I know the destination.
A giant mountain rising endlessly, piercing the sky.
When I calculate the distance I have walked so far.
Just a guess… It will likely take several months.
“under.”
A man who has lost his memory, a girl with the ultimate weapon, and a fox kid who is hiding something.
The more I think about it, the more troublesome it is. How many months can I survive in this strange and dangerous world with this combination?
* * *
The danger came just as I had feared. The unfortunate thing is that it was much faster than expected. As soon as we left the reed forest, we encountered a monster. I, who had been confident since my bloody fight with Dae-ho, saw the appearance of a monster crawling through the grass and was as scared as a rabbit.
It was a king centipede.
Usually, centipedes are a synonym for disgusting creatures. The numerous, thin legs, the ferocity of tearing down even male chickens, the terrifying fangs, everything about it is repulsive. In addition, if ‘king’ is added to the name, the size is increased to enormous size.
However, due to the nature of the bug, no matter how big it is, it is only about the size of your forearm. This may be disgusting, but you can fight it and win. Even if bugs are disgusting, you don’t feel the fear of being ‘eaten’.
“Huh!”
“Shh.”
However, the despair I faced before my eyes was not of a scale that could be subordinated to the trivial concept of such an insect. I comforted Hoyeon, who was crying, and watched the centipede’s movements. Although it was called a forest, it was not grass, but full of grass that had grown to the size of a tree. However, the centipede crushed the grass like a bulldozer just by crawling. As a rough estimate, the length alone is over 5m. There are 5 million bugs, it is a disaster that should not exist. I knew this was his territory. I held on to Hoyeon’s hand tightly and slowly backed away. It hasn’t noticed us yet. All you have to do is walk slowly backwards for 10 minutes until you reach the reed field.
“… “It’s Goku.”
Hoyeon whispered in a low voice. Goku? She looked at him as if she knew something, then checked the fox kid’s expression and swallowed her dry saliva. Hoyeon was so scared that she was shedding tears like chicken shit.
“calm down.”
“Ugh, ugh.”
Hoyeon, who was frightened, bit her lip to hold back her tears, but could not overcome her fear. The guy trembled like an aspen. Breathing also became irregular. Finally, the guy lost his balance and fell. I hurriedly picked up the fox kid just before he fainted. Is it trauma?
A dying fox.

As soon as I left the reed field, I ran into a king centipede just in time.
When I wandered through the forest alone looking for food, I never saw a monster like that.
Was he aiming for a fox to come out?
Dozens of legs break and cut off the stems of plants, and long antennae, like the branches of a giant tree, clash and make a crackling sound. I headed toward the reed field, keeping an eye on his eerie presence.
It was then.
someone said
[found.]
It was a pure and beautiful voice.
I looked around. It’s probably not a human, but is it an ‘intelligent organism’? Should I report the risks?
And I slowly looked back. Denial is short, recognition is quick. I had to accept that the voice came from behind me.
[Ugh. You were here.]
The grass shook noisily, and then a voice was heard.
It doesn’t matter what the centipede says. For someone as friendly as the moth-man, I would have been willing to have the patience to shake hands with dozens of the centipede’s long, sharp legs. But he wasn’t friendly at all. I felt a murderous intent that made my heart stop. Survival instincts facilitated decision making. From the moment I heard the voice, I instinctively moved my legs vigorously. You can run to the reed field and run away in 30 seconds. The distance from him is about 20m. No matter how fast a centipede is, if I have a running speed that far exceeds that of Usain Bolt… … !
[Hahaha!]
I stopped walking. It was not voluntary. The sound was heard. It was the sound of something fast and violently crawling on the ground. I knew the sound was getting closer to me much faster than I expected. I tried my best to deny it, but I was frustrated by the situation in front of me. The guy who had been standing behind me passed me by and before I knew it, I was standing on the road leading to the reed field. It’s much faster than Daeho. Those dozens of legs were out of shape. f*uck.
Hoyeon, who was shaking, became quiet. Hoyeon was expressionless, but not cold. His golden eyes were shaking violently. His body was frozen with distant fear, like a rat in front of a snake. She tensed and took out her weapon. Contrary to its appearance, this blunt sword is hard enough to crush a tiger’s skull, but that centipede monster… shit.
The centipede’s black carapace felt as if it were wearing heavy armor of steel. Even if I hit him with all my might, will I be able to rip that hard carapace and kill him? His appearance was so intimidating and overwhelming that I felt skeptical. Fighting a monster like that? I really hoped that this guy was a communicator.
[me.]
The centipede monster said.
[I am a child from Gumi who will sacrifice his heart for the Wukong tribe.]
“Ugh… … .”
Hoyeon is startled by the guy’s voice.
After all, is this child his goal?
[I will honor your sacrifice and kill you without pain. I will finally consume the spiritual energy of the True Demon and become the master of the White Demons. It’s a ramp, it’s a ramp. Ugh.]
The voice, which sounded beautiful at first, turned into a horrifying sound, like a haunting sound.
The guy moved slowly. He straightens his back and looks down at us. I made eye contact with him. I swallowed a long scream inside. I couldn’t help but be shocked. The intimidating feeling that comes from a huge size, dozens of writhing legs, it’s scary enough, but there’s something even scarier than that.
It was a face.
Centipede’s face.
The hideously ugly face of an ugly woman was hidden beneath her head.
He ignored me and only looked at Hoenn. He had a human face, so his expressions were easy to read. Greed, desire, gluttony. The face, distorted with all kinds of desires, is drooling as it looks at Hoyeon.
[Come, eat yourself. Your heart will be my flesh, and your soul will be my glory.]
He said to Hoenn.
Eat yourself.
It is the arrogance of a predator that will not tolerate the struggles of its prey.
Hoyeon, who was held in her arms, said, her small body shaking violently.
“Put me down.”
He pushed me away and tried to get out of my arms.
Centipede laughed, Hoyeon cried. The guy was willing to eat himself.
Hoyeon, who stumbled but stood up from the ground, looked back at me and said earnestly.
“Run away, brother.”
The guy didn’t ask to be saved.
While I was walking towards the centipede, Hoyeon kept looking at me and telling me to run away.
“what?”
“Run away… hurry!”
“No, not that one.”
It’s not because I’m scared.
For other reasons, I stood still and couldn’t move.
“oh… bar?”
