00566 Sweet conflict. ————————————————– ———————-=
I don’t know when it was born.
I don’t even know where I was born.
When I first came to consciousness and opened my eyes, all I could see was pitch-black darkness everywhere. All I could do in that darkness was to crouch and figure out who I was and why I was here.
Afterwards, as countless hours passed, he realized his identity and established himself.
For the first time in my life, I became aware of the inner emotions called emotions.
The first feeling I felt there was none other than loneliness.
In some ways, this may be natural. I spent countless years alone, all I could do was sit still and swim through my consciousness.
Then one day, while it was struggling against loneliness and quietly gaining strength, something fell forward.
It was the strangest creature I had seen for the first time since I was born. There was one round one and a pair of long ones running up and down, struggling.
It was deeply interested in the strange creature and went straight to researching it, and before long, it was able to learn an amazing fact. The concept of species reproduction. And that the ability to conceive is necessary to reproduce the species.
It was thought.
Unfortunately, she does not have the ability to conceive.
It is an ability that was not given from the beginning.
But there’s no need to worry.
The presence of living organisms capable of conception is sufficient to make this new concept viable.
Study after study was conducted. And when I thought this was enough, I immediately started breeding the species.
But variables always arise.
An unexpected problem arose. Because the organism that served as a mother body was too weak, it could not be used for a long time.
More and stronger matrices are needed.
After thinking that way, it worked hard to find a way to gather its resources. Those that had already successfully reproduced were raised and used. It wasn’t without success. We were able to catch creatures that looked similar to the ones that came in by chance the first time.
But in the long run, the problem is still not resolved. Not only was it difficult to find creatures with the ability to conceive, but even if they were caught, most of them were mediocre mothers. There were even creatures that looked similar but did not have the ability to conceive.
On rare occasions, a strong mother body was found that was not desired, but it was eventually destroyed as it could not withstand the endless breeding of the species.
More and stronger matrices are needed.
Many years have passed since the species began to reproduce, but it still feels lonely.
So I crave it even more.
A ‘Mother’ who can be with herself and her children forever, and who can be a companion to the ‘Father’.

next day.
As soon as morning dawned, the southern expedition team immediately began investigating the pit. In fact, there is nothing special about investigating it. It’s like investigating how deep the hole is or what the stratum is like inside.
The research method is also quite primitive. For example, a way to measure the depth of a hole is to make a long rope by knotting a string in the middle and then attaching a heavy stone to the end. And a user with sensitive senses stretches a string and measures the distance based on when the stone touches the ground.
“Then let’s start now!”
I secretly sighed as I watched the man awkwardly holding onto the rope and getting into position. Inside, I wanted to say it was no use, but what could I do? There is no evidence to support what I say. Rather than say something unnecessary and get suspicious, it would be better to just watch quietly until you realize it yourself.
The moment I thought that, the man threw the rope towards the pit. The rope inside flowed down and quickly disappeared into the darkness. There was a small exclamation from those around me as I watched the man deftly adjusting the line as if he were fishing, but I stared at the hole in a deadpan mood. Because I already knew the result.
How much time has passed?
The rope, which seemed to have been stretched for quite some time, continued to flow even after several minutes, but it was now slowly coming to an end. Her man must have realized that there wasn’t much left, and the line, which had been going down vigorously at first, was now going down at a slow pace.
Then, when all the ropes were finally lowered, the man who was wandering in the air looked startled and blank.
“uh?”
“what’s the matter?”
“Oh, no. The rope is all down. “But I still don’t feel anything.”
“… No way. It was over 500 meters. “Didn’t you make a mistake?”
Someone asked in a suspicious voice. One might even suspect that the residents not only brought ropes, but also woven all sorts of things to increase the length.
“no. I really put my all into it. “I don’t feel anything.”
However, the man protested with an expression of resentment and shrugged his shoulders.
A brief controversy arose among users. However, it seemed like the decision had been made to pull her up again, and the man began to pull up the rope while tilting her head.
“That’s amazing.”
Suddenly, Go Yeon-ju, who was watching along with me, gently leaned in and said.
“Su-hyun. “How deep is the hole?”
“well.”
“I wonder if I can really go in… .”
“It’s not like there’s no way. “You just have to build a road.”
I responded appropriately and raised my arms to hug Go Yeonju. And just as I was about to gently sweep it from the top of my head.
“joy!”
Suddenly, I felt a strong shock to my shoulder and side. At the same time, Ko Yeon-ju and I were forced to separate. Someone had forced their way between me and Go Yeon-ju. While I was hesitating, I looked up and saw Vivien walking by, trampling on the grass violently.
“oh?”
Go Yeon-ju frowned as if she was dumbfounded, but I just remained calm. It’s probably because of what happened yesterday.
“Vivien?”
“what!”
When her name was called, Vivien screamed and turned around nervously. And I had to try very hard to hold back the laughter that was about to burst out at that moment.
His eyes were red and swollen, as if he had been crying all night, and his mouth was protruding like a chicken’s beak. The sound of breathing loudly can be seen as cute.
There was a look on his face that said, “I’m dying of sadness right now, so please soothe me quickly.”
But I was easily betrayed by that expectation.
“no. did you sleep well?”
“… Director Nam!”
“okay? Then that’s it. Anyway, get out of the way.”
“W-what?”
“I can’t see the pit, so get out of the way. “It’s been a while since we’ve been together in private, but it’s disturbing.”
“Queu, qurr!”

Vivien screamed incomprehensibly once again. Then he gritted his teeth and glared at me, then turned and started walking away with wide eyes. Even as he walked away, he kept wiping his eyes with his clenched hands, indicating that he was probably shedding tears again.
… Just as I was thinking about whether I should appease him now, thinking that this might be a bit too much, Go Yeon-ju clung to me again. And after a while, I felt a slight tug on me.
“Suhyeon, Suhyeon!”
“yes?”
“Look over there.”
“… … ?”
Go Yeon-joo points to the pit ahead. Have you already pulled it all up?
As soon as I reflexively look away, I see a man standing blankly in front of the pit. Before I knew it, the rope had been fully pulled up.
“hey. what’s the matter? “Why are you staying still?”
From the direction where the man was standing with his back to me, someone opened his mouth as if to whisper. Then the man who had been standing blankly slowly turned around and extended the rope forward.
“this… .”
At the same time, exclamations of doubt arose from everywhere.
I stared at the end of the rope.
Before getting off, a rock was clearly tied to the end of the rope. But now that it was pulled up, nothing was tied down. There isn’t even a tightly tied knot in sight.
Only the cross section that looks like it was cut by something sharp remains, shaking back and forth.

A meeting was held immediately after the first investigation was completed.
In fact, since they hadn’t figured out much yet, most of the clan lords looked puzzled. But it would be pointless to continue like this anyway.
So in the end, there is only one answer. You have to go inside directly. Han So-young also knows this, so she must have called the meeting right away.
“I think that hole is probably similar to a sinkhole.”
Immediately after the meeting began, Lord Light, who was in charge of the strata survey, calmly raised his glasses and spoke.
“Sink hole?”
“yes. Sinkhole. Simply put, it means a hole created by sinking. These are large, naturally formed pits that can be found anywhere. … Of course, it may not be completely the same, but I think it is roughly a similar principle.”
“Then are there any other characteristics? For example, things to be careful about.”
“Hmm.”
In response to Han So-young’s question, Light Lord let out a short sigh. Then, as if she was thinking about something, she quietly opened her mouth.
“I don’t know much about it because I just picked it up. Still, based on modern knowledge, sinkholes occur when a large amount of groundwater suddenly leaks out of the underground bedrock, causing the ground to collapse because it cannot withstand the weight of the stratum. As you have all seen, that pit is over 100 meters in diameter. “The strata are very misaligned and there are very long cracks.”
The Light Lord paused for a moment, perhaps out of breath after speaking for so long. Then he quickly caught his breath and continued speaking.
“In other words, the problem is the cracks. The current state of the stratum is very unstable, so we don’t know when it will collapse. In fact, in my personal opinion, it is surprising that it is still maintained like this.”
“Then, I have a good idea.”
The user who received the message was none other than the warrior Lord Go Oh-hwan.
“That’s what the Light Lord said, so is there really a need for us to go in?”
He then held up the cut end of the rope and waved it as if everyone could see it.
“They’re probably waiting for us to come down below. In other words, if it goes down like this, isn’t there a high possibility that it will only become delicious food?”
“then… .”
“Then what then? Oh, it’s simple. Let’s just gather all the wizards and pour magic inside, or use earth magic to completely collapse the pit. Let’s think about it. The ground floor is collapsing, so what can they do? “I would just be crushed.”
“pooh.”
The moment I heard that, I had to desperately hold back the laughter that was about to burst out. At the same time, I was a little jealous. To be able to think so simply.
… No, by the way. Why is everyone making believable faces?
“Well, that’s absolutely not allowed!”
The Light Lord spoke in a commanding voice.
Still, there was one normal person. thank god.
“Why not?”
“If we do as Lord Musa said, it will be like burning a thatched house while trying to kill bedbugs.”
“So what is that… .”
“Even though the ground has somehow come together and the cave-in has stopped now, that hole could widen at any time and any place. That’s what sinkholes are like.”
“no. Even if it gets wider… .”
“At best? You are looking down on the sinkhole. If something goes wrong, the place where we are now could collapse in an instant. It’s literally an instant. “It falls down in the blink of an eye.”
As if he couldn’t give up on this much, the Light Lord cut off Gohwan’s words and said. It was a firm voice.
Then, Go Oh-hwan seemed to feel fear and closed his mouth with a shocked expression on his face. Not only Go Oh-hwan but everyone present at the meeting fell silent. Then, the only way left is to go down, but since we saw the rope cut earlier, it would be difficult to go forward.
For a moment, a heavy silence fell.
It was then.
“I listened carefully to what you two said.”
As they were just looking at each other, Han So-young, who had been silent until now, opened her mouth.
“I thought about this and that while listening… .”
He then calmly looked around the crowd and spoke in a quiet voice.
“If the situation is like that, I think there is only one way left.”

Off the record.
Ro Yujin: Hey! Vivien!
Vivien: Why?
Ro Yu-jin: Because of you, readers scolded you yesterday! Did you tell me again?
Vivien: What nonsense! After you wrote it down like that! Then you should have been nice to me a long time ago!
Yoojin Ro: Ha. Are you going to come out like this? We’ll see.
Vivien: Well, let’s wait and see?
Ro Yu-jin: That’s literally it. We’ll see. When Kim Soo-hyun is dating around you, I’ll make you suck on her fingers. Puhehehe.
Vivien: Uh, where is that?! You little bitch!
Ro Yujin: I can’t hear you~. I can’t hear you~.
Vivien: Readers! Take a look at this guy!
(Readers A, B, and C appear from nowhere and drag Ro Yu-jin away.)
(Knock knock! A hitting sound is heard.)
(After a while, Ro Yu-jin is dragged back and thrown away.)
Ro Yu-jin: I was really wrong.
Vivien: Heh. So, do well in the future?
Ro Yu-jin: Well, that’s a bit much. I’m currently attacking it… .
Vivien: So. You can’t do it? Readers… !
Ro Yu-jin: Now, wait a minute! wait!
Vivien: Huh?
Ro Yujin: I’m currently reading Nana and Kaoru. So please wait a little longer… .
Vivien : … What is it?
