How to Survive as a Player Chapter 151

“It’s okay for us to be buried together here.”

“What about Isis?”

“It’s okay because I’m connected. Because I am always with Isis. And now Isis… “It’s a situation that I understand.”

Lee Jae-young was also next to him, pulling Se-hyun’s sleeve and expressing his intention to join her. He was no different from Kwak Jeong-han and Aul. The straight gaze was heavy. No, I was scared. I was simply reminded once again that my decisions could affect everyone’s lives.

“… Everyone, don’t worry because I won’t give up. “If I thought I would do it, I would have done it already.”

Sehyun had no choice but to say that. It was a time when he had no choice but to make a promise, even if he had to force it.

There were 44 hours left until Ruhak and the heroes returned. Although only six hours had passed, Sehyun felt as if two days had passed.

“Our kids will definitely come back. therefore… Do not worry.”

The thickening black fog erased even the inch ahead. Nevertheless, everyone, including Sehyeon, persistently looked beyond the gatehouse.

It seems like it’s the last hope.

When Sehyeon opened his eyes again, the earthquake had stopped. The surroundings were pitch black. I remember coming into the room in the blowing sand wind and looking out the window aimlessly, but I couldn’t remember anything after that.

No, to be exact, I had no memories from the moment I made eye contact with Baek Do-hyun.

It’s probably Baek Do-hyun’s doing.

With that thought in mind, I got up, and my fumbling fingertips touched some soft fur. Sehyeon stiffened his body and immediately looked around with blurry vision. A huge wolf-type monster was embracing Se-hyeon with its body wrapped around its body.

As far as Sehyeon knew, there was only one person who could look like this.

“… “Jaeyoung.”

Jaeyoung Lee, who had his face buried in his tail as if he was sleeping, didn’t react at all. Feeling sorry for him sleeping soundly, Sehyun stroked the bridge of Lee Jaeyoung’s nose instead of waking him up. He then shifted his gaze to the rest of the group. However, as soon as he turned his head, his eyes met Baek Do-hyun, who was leaning against the wall.

“… “Aren’t you going to catch Baek Do-hyun?”

“Do I need to sleep too?”

“Then why did I even use my skills to put him to sleep?”

“Because it’s crazy to watch.”

Baek Do-hyun closed his eyes after saying those words and refused to talk. Only then did Se-hyeon also see Kwak Jeong-han and Aul behind Baek Do-hyeon.

A day later, the two were still standing upright.

“Mr. Kwak Jeong-han, Mr. Aul. “Please sit down.”

“no. “It’s better to be in this state to prepare for anything that might happen.”

“A croak.”

I don’t know how many aftershocks occurred while I was sleeping. However, looking at the surrounding furniture lying on the ground, it was clear that earthquakes, both large and small, had struck the empire several times. In a way, it was natural that Kwak Jeong-han and Aul were on edge.

Sehyeon turned on the achievement window and checked the time that had passed. He was noticing bright red numbers indicating that 18 hours had just passed.

After the meeting, Agatha had already left the empire with the White Coat League after saying a short greeting. The fan was still there, but I didn’t know how long it would last. I could guess why Fan didn’t leave.

That too is unsettling. That ugly sky.

“… … .”

Sehyeon’s eyes looked beyond the dark window. There was a world where there was no harmony between day and night. All I could see was black fog.

It was such a difficult task.

It was a moment when the wait of the retainers was painfully felt. Those times when I didn’t come to the empire are now painfully passing by. As I thought about the vassals who had endured bone-chilling pain during the long wait, I realized how horrible that act was.

Only two days seemed too far away.

Just as I was getting tired of waiting vaguely, the earthquake came again. It was also the time when Lee Jae-young woke up in shock, made a sound, and stuck his long snout into Se-hyeon’s arms.

Kuuuuung-

But something was different. The earthquake started as an aftershock, but after a while it became a violent quake. Everyone stumbled helplessly as the ground shook so hard that the building shook.

Hey!

“Mr. Sehyeon!”

“Everyone, stay still and don’t move!”

It was a tectonic shift, as if a monster was struggling underground. Everything in the room shook and the furniture fell down helplessly. The world felt energetic.

Outside the window, the sound of the ground cracking and shifting was heard one after another. The jagged top of the building was vaguely visible through the broken window.

Something is wrong.

An earthquake that did not subside brought about unimaginable anxiety. For a moment, I lost my breath and the accident stopped. Se-hyeon, who was blinking with a lost gaze, heard a bang from somewhere and quickly stood up on the shaking ground. And before anyone could catch him, he started to leave the tilted room.

“Kkeakkeul!”

“Mr. Sehyeon!”

Keek!

The sound coming from behind suddenly became distant. Sehyeon’s heart was racing as fast as the earthquake rocking beneath his feet. He didn’t even have time to chew his lips.

All I could remember was frantically running down the stairs. Several times she got her feet tangled and slipped on her stairs, and several times she got up and ran again, scraping against the wall.

As I came down like that, Sehyun was already stepping on the last step. However, Sehyeon’s steps stopped at the last step.

“Mr. Sehyeon!”

Kwak Jeong-han, who hurriedly came down just in time, grabbed Se-hyeon’s arm. However, like Se-hyeon, Kwak Jeong-han also stiffened his body as soon as he saw the front.

“length… .”

The darkness stretched out in emptiness. And before my eyes painted black.

The way forward was gone. No, it seemed like everything had been erased. It was truly a dark battle. I couldn’t see anything and I couldn’t feel anything.

It feels like I was left alone in the middle of the deep sea. After a moment of distant anxiety, the violent earthquake came again.

As the earthquake shook Kugugung, Sehyeon immediately took out his bow and stuck it into the crack in the floor, lowering his body and holding on. Kwak Jeong-han hugged him tightly from behind and protected him.

After holding on like that for a while, when the smell of desolate earth passed my nose, the world suddenly became as quiet as a rat. There was not even a slight vibration shaking the ground beneath. But the darkness still remained.

Sehyeon caught his breath and stood up again. And he went forward slowly, one step, two steps. As he stumbled forward, he felt the darkness blocking his vision gradually fading away.

The clearing fog brought with it a faint hope.

please.

I whispered several times. When it became dozens or hundreds of times, Sehyun saw something spreading white before his eyes.

White letters appeared as if passing through my blinking vision. It was faint, as if paint had been peeled off, but it was still legible. It was also the news that Sehyeon had been waiting for so long.

[You have successfully conquered the 86th floor of the ‘Tower of Tests.’]

However, the good news was short-lived as the terrifying howl of a monster shook the world.

Kkkkkk-

I groaned as the terrible sound penetrated my head. His knees buckled and Sehyun fell to the ground. It was a roar like a deathly scream.

I felt nauseous and felt pain as if my head was being squeezed by something. My vision was completely white and distorted, so I couldn’t see anything.

I just felt like I was going to die.

“ah… Ugh… .”

It was then that a firm hand was placed on the ear where I was breathing heavily.

The moment I caught a whiff of the familiar scent, the feeling of the desolate dust floating around disappeared as if it had been washed away. A large, firm hand covered my cheeks and ears and pressed both ears tightly, blocking out sound.

His hands were like ice. However, it was so refreshing that I could barely breathe now. There were pale shadows in my blurred vision.

As I fumbled for the cold hand and climbed up, a cold embrace came right in front of me. When he was buried tightly in that embrace, the monster noise that had been tormenting his mind disappeared.

“You said you would come back, right?”

It was a clear statement. At those words, Sehyun clenched his chin. The fingertips that touched the ears conveyed strength. The voice did not even show signs of fatigue. In the same way as the first time, Ruhak delivered the news of his return to Sehyeon.

“No need to worry. “We did our best to come back without anyone getting hurt.”

Gradually the black fog began to clear. The darkness that had been blocking the sky began to clear as if it were spreading across water and disappearing. A world that could not even tell whether it was night or day revealed the morning view with rays of light. It was a world without even clouds. It was so clear that it didn’t even have a sense of reality.

“I’m back, Rod.”

The words that made me smile touched my heart. When I looked up, there were heroes and knights covered in frost.

The frost melting away in the sunlight was dazzling. After watching for a long time, as if it was engraved in his eyes, Sehyun stretched out his hand towards everyone.

“… “I had a nice trip.”

A locked, cracked voice came out. It was only when he saw the heroes stiffening his body that Sehyeon felt the passage of time. Time, which seemed like eons, was finally moving in its own direction.

Short and long breaths lingered in my mouth like a tangle, but that was all.

Only their sight reflected in Sehyeon’s eyes gave him comfort.

***

Late at night, Sehyeon was in a deep sleep, but suddenly opened her eyes after realizing that she was feeling uncomfortable. What she saw as soon as she opened her eyes was a wide embrace. Familiar now.

After returning to the Empire for a day, I remember collapsing and closing my eyes, but I think I was lying alone, but now we were together.

When I got up from the embrace, the hand that had been holding my back fell weakly.

As soon as he realized this, Sehyeon’s eyes widened silently. The surprised gaze immediately turned to Ruhak, who was sleeping soundly. Her mouth opened blankly at the sight of her sleeping without the world knowing.

It was my first time. Seeing Ruhak so defenseless.

However, for a moment, Sehyun noticed a pile of shadows around the bed and was completely at a loss for words.
