[EP.1] A destroyed world
“Damn.”
A man swore.
It was a situation where I couldn’t get through it without swearing.
There were curse marks scattered here and there on his body.
His right eye had gone bad a long time ago due to a curse.
Moreover, I could barely feel half of my body.
His name is Krasch Walheim.
He was a man who was called a disgrace to the Valheim family.
‘The numbers are a mess.’
But such shame is a thing of the past.
Because he was one of the generation of the firmament that fought against the destruction of world erosion.
It was well-recognized even by families that had always treated Banpoon well.
Therefore, he struggled even more desperately because of his thirsty desire for recognition.
But the results were disastrous.
A meteor shower is pouring down before your eyes and the world is being destroyed.
The worst evil had grown so out of control that it had swallowed everything.
Crashu looked at such destruction in vain.
Then, I looked back at the person next to me.
“Now, Collock, what are you going to do… … .”
Krasch’s voice did not come out properly due to the curse.
However, the criticism contained therein was clearly felt.
“What are you going to do?”
Then, a man with platinum hair as dazzling as the sun raised his head.
Even though the world is falling apart, his face filled with excellence is so handsome that one would think it was foul play.
Arthur Gramalte was the most outstanding of the generation of the firmament and was called the King of Heroes.
The words of the hero king that the empire is proud of were truly funny.
Because three women were surrounding him, each comforting him.
That was not a hero king, but a harem king.
“The world has been destroyed. “It’s over.”
Arthur answered very calmly.
Even though so many people had died to help him get this far, he spoke in that tone.
It’s as if destruction has nothing to do with him.
“You mean that? Collock, how many people can I trust you with? … !”
“Krash, shut up! “Arthur, you did your best!”
At that moment, a woman with hair the color of the ocean shouted.
Krasch frowned.
Her name is Sigrin Epania.
She was the third princess of the Empire of Epania and the person who elevated Arthur to the position of Emperor Epania.
A princess who fell in love with Arthur and became blind.
However, when it came to swordsmanship, he was so skilled that he could compete with Arthur.
“F*ck, crunch! Mr. Sigrin, after crying because he couldn’t see in one eye, you finally helped me keep both eyes open. Shut up? “Do you mean that?”
Unlike usual, Crasch made sharp remarks.
Then Sigrin looked contemptuously at Krashu.
“How dare you say that in front of Sigrin now? “Aren’t you afraid of what happens next?”
“Return? “Return!”
Krasch spewed blood from his mouth and raised both hands to the sky.
“The world has been destroyed, but Huhuaan?! F*ck you b!tch! “Epania, who cared for you, was ruined that evening!”
When Sigrin heard those words, his eyes widened.
Her eyes filled with tears.
However, upon seeing that, Crashu had a rather contemptuous expression on his face.
She believed that she was a member of the royal family, and was very important to everyone except Arthur.
Among them, Krasch in particular was not treated well.
The main reason was that Krashu was the most powerful family in the Staron Kingdom.
“Ah, I’ve done all the damn things since the academy!”
My terrible relationship with her started at Raheln Academy.
Sigrin is highly anticipated by everyone for his natural swordsmanship.
On the other hand, despite being the Valheim family that the Kingdom of Staron is proud of,
The youngest son, Krasch, is half-hearted and not good at anything.
I wouldn’t care if it was just a comparison.
It was Sigrin, the head of the Imperial faction within the Academy.
That’s why she persistently harassed Krashu in order to crush the Kingdom faction.
Thanks to that, Krasch was ignored by the imperial faction.
He was ostracized and shamed even by members of the same Kingdom faction.
The words that it was a shame not only for the family but for the kingdom were now a thing that made my ears tingle.
Nevertheless, Krasch persevered.
It turned out that he was a talentless half-poon.
Because she was essential to the generation of the firmament that would save the world.

“Because he lost his eye, he got really sick of me!”
But that too is the end.
Worlds were destroyed, empires evaporated due to world erosion, and so did kingdoms.
That’s why Krasch pressed his right eye with his hand in a hateful voice.
If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have stolen the curse from that crazy bitch’s eyes.
“The only thing you can do is steal!”
Then Sigrin also turned his eyes.
She drew a white sword called White Dragon’s Tooth.
The cold flowing from there seemed as if it would freeze Krashu at any moment.
But Krasch snorted.
You’re a piece of trash that can’t do anything but steal.
“Yes, Colok Colok, exactly what you said.”
Krasch hated his abilities.
As she said, the most I could do was steal.
[Skill · Black Hood]
Steals what the target has.
*condition
1. The value of what the object has is determined by the object.
2. The conditions for stealing are determined depending on the value judged by the target.
It was a skill given by the god who made the contract with him, and it was an ability that literally did nothing but steal.
A strange ability that makes it more difficult to steal the more valuable it is to the target.
But there was just one advantage to this ability.
‘Even the curse that arises from world erosion can be stolen.’
They steal a curse that not even the flying and crawling warriors of the world can lift.
Because of this tremendous advantage, Krasch stayed with the generation of the firmament.
As a result, the curse accumulated in his body was in the triple digits.
One of them is a curse that prevents you from dying, but prevents you from sleeping forever, and that is why you are still alive today.
It was a number that would not be strange even if they had already died.
‘I thought I would soon reach four figures.’
Unfortunately, the world was destroyed before that could be achieved.
Anyway, all the curses on Krashu’s body were stolen from the Sky Generation.
The curse of Arthur’s grip on fear.
The curse of Sigrin’s blackout.
The curse of a saint’s evil and good intentions.
The curse of being the source of evil in the Flame Emperor, etc.
Now, Krashu held onto all the curses of the dead guys.
A curse is the most worthless thing to its target.
As a result, Krasch’s Black Hood was able to use it most effectively.
“But you couldn’t have come this far without me… … .”
One of Krasch’s eyes trembled with anger.
“Isn’t it? Cough, Abella.”
When he turned around, he headed towards the woman who had been crying in Arthur’s arms from earlier.
She was of small stature and held a staff with stars engraved in her hand.
Abella, the Red Witch, is the greatest talent produced by the Magic Tower and a member of the same firmament generation.
She was also a colleague who came here with Arthur.
“Arthur, Arthur, what should I do?”
But she didn’t even pretend to hear.
From the moment the world was destroyed, all she did was cling to Arthur and cry.
‘Well, that’s how it was originally.’
She was originally a woman who did not even pretend to listen to what she said and consistently ignored him.
The pain from the curse that felt like my body was being torn apart was so painful that I went to the Magic Tower to get painkillers.
They even blocked the door so they couldn’t even enter the magic tower.
Of course, that wasn’t the only humiliation I suffered.
From then on, I lost all affection for her.
“I heard you can’t use magic because of a curse that causes you to lose your voice. “Cough, cough, you’re good at crying.”
Still, it was so heinous that they kept asking me to steal the curse.
Even now, my vocal cords felt like they were being scratched with metal, and the pain that made me cough was because of her curse.
“It’s lame, so stop.”
At that moment, another voice was heard.
A woman who stood silently behind Arthur.
She was Mary Diana, the spear of the Epanian Empire and the strongest knight protecting Sigryn.
Although she was an attractive woman with jet-black hair and a glamorous figure that matched her tall height.
For Krasch, it was just the same.
Because many of his curses belonged to that body-shaped woman.
The strongest spear is a piece of cake.
How disgusting it was to have such high self-esteem that even in the face of world erosion that should have been retreated immediately, they stuck their heads in and brought about a curse.
“Old car? “Damn, don’t you remember how you begged me to steal it because you were cursed to tell me everything because you didn’t want my feelings for Arthur to be discovered?”
The day after I cursed that topic.
The sight of him entering the same room with Sigryn and Arthur was truly shocking.
Because of that, he couldn’t even go on the first date he had promised that day.
Now I’m going on a date and sleeping, but I’m looking through everything to no avail.
“Whenever you open your mouth, the only thing you can say is that.”
“You can’t talk! Cough, because some of your curse still remains!”
If the curses hadn’t arbitrarily canceled each other out, I don’t know what I would say right now.
“I can’t help it. Save the world, right?”
Crashu let out a heavy breath as if he had let go of everything and looked back at Arthur.
The biggest problem, Arthur, was this guy.
This is Arthur, who has never once disappointed my expectations.
He always did everything as if he knew the future.
But at the end, he was struggling and now he collapsed like this.
Nevertheless, Krasch stayed with Arthur.
The guys around Arthur were all idiots.
But at least Arthur was the one who told him he needed it.
Of course, it was Arthur who did not particularly dissuade those who acted aggressively toward Krashu.
The reason Krashu became like this and stayed with the Sky Generation was because he thought he too was helpful.
“You were the guy who could do it, right?”
Crashu recalled the words Arthur said as he watched the world being destroyed.
“It’s over.”
It was as if a play had just ended.
Those words he spoke calmly made all of Crasch’s efforts up until now go to waste.
“Yes, but in the end it failed again.”
Meanwhile, Arthur got up.
Thick blood was dripping from under his chest.
That was the reason Abella clung to him and kept crying.
Because Arthur was dying.
Because in the end, he was also unable to prevent the destruction of the world.
“This time, Edo?”
However, Crasch pondered what Arthur had just said and expressed doubts.
It was because they reacted as if they had already experienced this situation once.
“do not worry. Still, this time was different. “Because I got a card called Memory Succession.”
The expressions of the three women who were looking at him changed.
The expression on his face looked as if he had already made a promise to him a long time ago.
Krasch, who was looking at the scene strangely, slowly frowned.
“Arthur, what do you mean? “Am I the only one who doesn’t understand?”
“Krash, this is not the first time I have been destroyed. “Because this world is being destroyed again and again.”
Arthur’s calm words only made Krasch even more confused.
What kind of bullshit is it that they are being destroyed over and over again?
Did Arthur go crazy at the end?
“But it’s okay. “I just have to go back.”
“Well, well, what nonsense! Arthur! Sigrin, Abella, Mary, you guys know something!”
Despite Krasch’s shouts, the three people only looked at Arthur.
As if there was only Arthur in the world.
“Since you’ve come this far, let me tell you the story.”
Then Arthur finally gave the answer.
“It’s a regression.”
return?
One of Krasch’s eyes shook violently.
This was because words that seemed to come out of a story came out of Arthur’s mouth.
Moreover, the other three people seemed to already know about his return.
“Sashimi, ears?”
With that, Krasch felt as if the whole puzzle was coming together.
Because I understood everything Arthur did as if he knew the future.
Arthur’s eyes were sincere.
He was truly making a comeback.
“And in this episode, I gained memory succession. If there is this memory transmission, the memories of Sigryn, Abella, and Mary can also be transmitted to the time when I returned.”
“So, you’re going to go back and start over?”
If it is a destruction that cannot be prevented on one’s own, others can join in to prevent it.
When Krasch realized that fact, one of his eyes began to widen.
If that was the case, I didn’t know if we could really prevent destruction.
Even if this episode failed, the chances will be much higher if we work with these three people who have poor personality but still have skills.
For a moment, light began to appear.
It is the light of a world that was in despair due to destruction.
“Okay, I’m going to start over with everyone.”
Then, suddenly, Krasch lifted his head when he heard everyone.
The three people next to him already knew this fact.
But what about yourself?
Even as generations of the firmament are dying out, what about you, who stubbornly survived and endured even stealing everyone’s curse?
“wait. “Arthur.”
That’s why Krasch decided to ask.
Didn’t you just acknowledge me?
“… … I am?”
It was the moment when he barely opened his lips and asked a question.
Arthur looked at Krasch quietly as before, and then for the first time he began to laugh.
“Puhahahaha.”
Hearing his sudden applause, the moment Crasch was dazed, Arthur slowly raised his head with the tears Abella had wiped away.
Then his golden eyes shined brightly.
“Crash, do you think there’s any point in passing on your memories when not only your body but also your mind has become a rag?”
Arthur said this while looking down at Crasch who was dazed.
“Don’t worry. Because I like you quite a bit. Without you, the generation of the firmament cannot advance this far. Your ability to steal curses is very useful. But that doesn’t mean I really need you right now. “What I need is you to follow me with a clean mind.”
Now, those words were like treating oneself like a tool.
It’s just a consumable tool that you use once and then throw away.
It is a tool that is needed every time there is a regression, but is nothing more or less than that.
“See you again. “Crash.”
With those words, a bright light suddenly began to leak out of Arthur’s body.
Krasch, who realized that Arthur had started to use regression, stood up with an embarrassed expression and then rolled around on the floor.
It was because one leg was cursed and could not move properly.
Rolling around in the mud, Krashu shouted at Arthur while spitting out blood.
“Wait, wait! wait! Arthur! Take me too! F*ck you b*st*rd! If you want to go, take me with you!”
But even so, Arthur’s expression did not change.
From the beginning, Krasch had no value in Arthur’s life.
The only reason I pretended to acknowledge him was because I thought he would be helpful.
I never once acknowledged him as a colleague.
But really, have we finally realized that fact?
‘That’s already happened.’
Actually, didn’t I realize that a long time ago?
Arthur just watched in silence as a member of the Sky Generation ignored him and committed degrading acts.
As if being treated like that was natural.
If he truly considered me a colleague, I would have stopped him long ago and joined him.
Instead of acknowledging his own achievements, he was treated like a tool.
‘I just.’
I was just masturbating alone in my mind.
He was just filling up the self-esteem he had been lacking since his family, saying he would help the generation of the sky and prevent the destruction of the world.
like this.
Is this really the end?
really?
It was the moment when Krasch lost consciousness.
Krasch looked down at his hands.
A world being destroyed.
Arthur leaves.
The ability to steal what the target has.
It was something I didn’t even think about because my body was already damaged by a curse last night.
There was a question I had always had at some point.
Is it really impossible to steal a skill?
Of course, skills are probably the most important thing to that person, so they are not something that can be easily stolen.
Now was not the time to worry about such things.
Krasch’s hand was raised towards Arthur.
Would he have done the same thing in Arthur’s last episode?
If he had succeeded, he would have regressed in the same way in this episode.
Not being able to do it means failing.
But it didn’t matter.
If we don’t do this, everything will become meaningless in a destroyed world anyway.
“Shibaal!”
The moment when Crasch’s outstretched hand shined with a single swear word.
Krasch lost consciousness in a bright light.
＊ ＊ ＊
“uh?”
The bright light disappeared and a single question rang out.
In a meteor shower pouring down for destruction, one person’s head slowly lifted up.
Then he realized that there was no one next to him, and his eyes slowly began to open wide.
“This, this?”
Why am I here when I obviously had to return?
Just as he was about to question that, his thoughts were interrupted by a meteor shower pouring down over his head.
Arthur Gramalte, the 9th inning, should have returned to the 10th inning.
It was the day he truly died.
