How to Survive as a Player Chapter 261

#261

On the day she went to visit Billwill alone, Agatha witnessed her own death in a dream. I also predicted that it would come true soon. Therefore, Agatha had no choice but to risk her existence and ask her guides for help.

I couldn’t remember what day it was now. However, that day was a day when my dreams were clearer than ever and I had strength in my fingertips.

“On the last day, can you save me?”

Bill Will’s gaze, which he gazed at innocently, resembled the path she had walked. The guide asked with a fixed gaze.

“Does that mean you will die?”

《I feel like there are too many restrictions for me right now to say that. One thing is certain, I know that you guys have a lot of power.》

《… I guess that was the dream you saw.》

“exactly. I will be the last. That is the last dream I will ever see.》

At that time, the guide shook his head sadly. Leaving behind vague words.

“Unfortunately, your question is in an area where I cannot give a definitive answer. Our guides execute plans with a view to success in all possibilities. However, if your request is judged to be the only means to eliminate ‘Beusbrihel’, then… I will risk my life to make your wishes come true. If that is the final means to end this eternity.》

What Agatha wanted and what the guides wanted were the same. The end of innocent sacrifice, and the end of this road.

Agatha held the spear in her hand firmly. The military’s spirit was already sky-high. This world I found again was distant and so sad. Agatha smiled bitterly.

【Thank you for not giving up until the end. If you hadn’t come here, my dream wouldn’t have come true.】

The battlefield filled with traces of sacrifice was desperately calling to her. I cried out for an end to this terrible war. Agatha said to everyone with her sad face.

【So, I will end with my dream.】

The panorama of her dream unfolded vastly before her eyes. A distant darkness engulfed the world. Agatha and the line behind her ran through the darkness.

Agatha has dreamed of the end of this road for a long time. She waited only for this day, and she lived with the knowledge that her existence was a sacrifice for this end. For Agatha, this path was a path of endless glory.

Before I knew it, Agatha had become the ‘grand duke’s dream’ itself. And what she chose in this life was her sacrifice. Tyra looked at her with shaking eyes.

“… also… I’m going… ?”

Tyra looked at her cruelly as she tried to leave without even saying hello. Tyra’s cheeks instantly became wet with tears. Tyra’s shoulders shook as she silently sent Agatha off.

Sehyeon focused his gaze on Agasa’s line running through the air. All the light in the world gathered towards the army led by Agatha. It was a darker and more brilliant light than the dawn.

The sound of horses’ hooves filled the world. Everyone focused their eyes on Agatha’s long line. The gathered earnestness pushed Agatha’s back. Her path was so dark and heavy.

In the distance, the mouth of ‘Beusbrihel’ opened viciously, and a blood-red glow began to form inside it. As if two lights collided, a huge air current was formed.

Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

It only took a few seconds for the breath to vomit. The breath swept through the sky, the earth, and the surrounding mountains, turning everything into ruins before disappearing.

The light of dawn led by Agatha did not fade. A small cry was heard from somewhere. Starting with her cry, everyone on her battlefield raised her sword and spear and mourned her. That cry raised the morale of the cavalry empire. Agatha’s spear stretched forward. Everything about her was brilliant.

At a time when the soundless horse’s hooves were splitting the air, Tyra suddenly knelt down and began to pray, holding both hands. The end of a long wait appeared on Tyra’s face, which was marred by her tears.

Tyra’s broken wings trembled slightly. Gritting her teeth, Chatira swallowed her tears and said a prayer for Agatha. This ending was not accomplished by Agatha alone. At the end of this road, Tyra’s dream was also included.

‘many… ‘I admired you a lot, Agatha.’

Tyra’s prayer was filled with envy, friendship, and admiration for Agatha. It was a skill that could only be used for those who loved and admired, and it was a skill only for Agatha.

<Prayer of Devotion>.

Tyra, like everyone else, had skills that arose when she transitioned to Elix. The day she and Agatha broke up, she cried and announced their separate ways. It was a skill I developed at that time.

It was a skill that increased the person’s strength the greater the admiration, and its value reached more than 10,000 times that of Sehyeon’s <Depth of Love>. It was a prayer for just one person, and strength for the person who would stand at the end of this dream.

This was also the reason why Tyra decided that Agatha was the end of this dream. Because the last sight of her in the Archduke’s dream was her own image praying for her.

Before I knew it, Tyra’s dream had returned to normal.

‘Goodbye, my idol.’

Hot tears flowed down Tyra’s cheeks. An Agatha-like scene unfolded before her eyes. The path of sacrifice unfolds before Agatha’s eyes as she runs through the black sky. The road was extremely dark and extremely sublime.

A deep smile appeared on Agatha’s lips. Smiling and folding the corners of her eyes, Agatha whispered softly to her Tyra.

【Thank you, my old friend.】

I don’t know if Agatha’s words reached Tyra. When the light of dawn traversed the darkness, the world was shattered into white. Through the explosion of light and the explosion, everyone saw the light engulfing the world. That was the last time.

Everyone remained there, blindfolded, until all sound disappeared and a world without sky, earth, or even the surrounding scenery arrived.

I didn’t know who the roaring cry belonged to. Over the heart of ‘Beusbrihel’, which was swallowed up by the light, countless flying wings became shadows and left traces.

While the endless shadow disappeared in the explosion, the world was erased to white. I couldn’t see anything or hear anything. It was as if the world itself had disappeared.

When the floating world settled down and all senses returned, there was a child whose form was not even clear in front of my narrowed eyes.

The world was dark, and all I could see was fragments.

【Hungry】

These were the first words the child uttered. Starting with those words, the child’s life began to unfold before his eyes like stars rising and falling.

The child was abandoned when he turned five. A hideous appearance, with wrinkled legs and foul-smelling skin. The place where the child was abandoned was deep in the mountains, infested with vicious beasts. And from then on, the child struggled with loneliness and suffered from hunger and cold.

【I’m hungry, I’m hungry… .】

It’s been a week since I last ate dew. The child became increasingly crazy from hunger.

Why did you abandon me? I’m hungry. I was a good kid. I’m hungry. Help me. I’m hungry. It’s so lonely and cold here. I’m hungry.

Perhaps because of the stench, even animals stayed away from such a child. Those unfamiliar nights spent alone with a hungry stomach. In the meantime, the child learned to resent, and survived his life only with hatred and venom. An obsession with hunger developed in the two black eyes.

It was around that time that I encountered ‘it’. ‘It’ was small, delicate, and ignorant of everything. It looked as if it had just been born. The child who was dying of hunger and loneliness thought that ‘it’ was in the same situation as me, being alone.

So, even in the midst of hunger, I curled up holding ‘it’ in my arms. So the child spent another week with ‘it’.

The child could no longer move and waited for death, barely holding his breath. ‘It’ tilted its head and stared at the unable child.

It was also the first time ‘it’ spoke to the child.

【my… go… do… and… Give it… ?】

With his dying vision black, the child nodded with all his might. And he kissed his lips several times.

But in the end, the child closed his eyes there without being able to utter the right words. Until the end, he held ‘it’ tightly in his arms.

But the child opened his eyes again in the forest. Before his eyes lay a small animal whose heart was pounding.

As soon as the child saw it, his eyes widened, he grabbed it in his hands and ate the animal alive. And it was only after he ate everything, leaving no bones behind, that he realized that I was alive and moving. Everything was fine now, even the bad smell I always had and my sore legs.

It was as if I had been given a new life. In front of her, there was ‘it’ looking at the child with its head tilted.

But the hunger did not go away. The child was still thirsty and hungry. I wanted to fill this hunger.

【hungry. I feel like I’m starving to death.】

【ship… go… green onion… ?】

【huh. hungry.】

‘It’ brought many things to the child. From small beasts to huge beasts and vicious monsters.

The child ate them constantly. When countless days passed and the child came to his senses, he had already become one with ‘it’. However, the child always suffered from hunger. I was always hungry, empty, and empty.
