001. Wolfram’s Last Flame of Life (1)
Let’s tell an old story.
My childhood dream was to be a game character.
Just think about it, isn’t this the best job where hard work is rewarded?
When you catch a monster, it grows steadily in proportion to the number of monsters you catch.
Buy items, equip equipment, learn skills, form a party, and clear the raid.
Isn’t it a wonderful life where you work hard, are rewarded, grow on your own, and become self-made?
After that, when I got a little older.
I think it was probably when I was in middle school.
At that time, I thought it didn’t matter if I wasn’t the main character.
Heroes dream too big.
But if you just become friends with the main character and suck the main character’s coins, you won’t have to worry about old age if you grow up together, right?
After becoming an adult, I thought it was okay to be a villain.
If you avoid all the death flags and survive, you will survive. It is possible to move your life graph upward.
In short, once I got into the game, I was confident that my fate would be decided.
How f*cking sweet is this.
I can’t stand it anymore, so I’ll just buy all the Ddeoksang coins.
It didn’t matter which character it was. Even the boss from Act 1 was fine.
I was confident that I could do anything as long as I had good technique.
I thought so.
Wow, and the dream came true.
I was so happy that I thought I was the owner of a convenience store, but then I got hit by a car.
in result.
I feel like I’ve entered a game that I’ve played for ten thousand hours.
Now life is mine. Maybe I can dream a little bigger than a convenience store.
A manager at a large mart? Wow, what a turnaround in life. Is this possible?
“Defendant Wolfram von Lohengrin. He is hereby stripped of all privileges within the Academy, including his position as student council president.”
however.
No it wasn’t.
Even in the game, fate played a complete deceiver on me.
An extra who leaves in the prologue, unable to even become a third-rate villain.
Event characters that do not appear in the main story.
A burrow with 5 minutes left to die.
Isn’t this going a bit too far?
***
The student council president’s office in the middle of the night with the lights out.
A girl standing proudly before me, sitting on the throne that represents the pinnacle of the Hundred Thousand Academy.
Three figures stood right behind her, as if escorting her, glaring at me.
On the contrary, there is no one around me, and I just sit on the throne and look at her.
A determined gaze. The girl seemed to dislike it so much that she shouted, holding out a letter with the Emperor’s seal on it.
“Defendant Wolfram von Lohengrin. He is hereby stripped of all privileges within the Academy, including his position as student council president.”
Her graceful and beautiful face was not marred by the mixture of hatred, anger and contempt.
I knew that face and that voice, and so I was deeply impressed.
D/Z SAGA, which I played for 10,000 hours and devoted my life to.
The game that the convenience store owner said was still being played.
Among them, the main heroine of the ‘Imperial Route’, ‘Eve von Lohengrin’, was right in front of me.
“···eve.”
“Don’t call me by that name! Wolfram!!”
“Wolfram? Are you talking about me?”
“Then who could it be? This disgrace to the royal family!”
The vitality of a colleague who has crossed the line with you thousands of times.
The main character Celts, Princess Eve, and many other companions.
However, this world, while being a game I enjoyed playing, gave me a terrible sense of disconnect.
I am not Celts, I am Wolfram von Lohengrin.
He’s a third-rate villain.
It’s so third-rate that it’s become a trash character that doesn’t even appear in the main game called D/Z SAGA.
According to the setting in the work, it is the ‘root of all evil’.
The stage of the game.
Wolfram served as the student council president of the academy Zephrin, which had a student body of 100,000 students, but he was a man of incompetence and a mean spirit. He was a bloodthirsty, authoritarian, and at the same time a talentless idiot.
He ignored the commoners, looked down on the nobles, bribed professors to manipulate grades, lowered other students’ test scores, and when he was in danger of being caught, he sent out a puppet to expel them and cover it up.
Embezzlement? That’s the national rule.
A tyranny that was carried out solely based on the authority of the emperor’s son.
As a result, the Magic Department and the Knight Department, which divided the academy into two, hated each other, and the atmosphere at the academy completely died down.
And he indulged in extravagance. He collected swords he could not use, bought magical clothing, and obsessed over books of magic he could not learn.
Even if I was scammed, how could I have been scammed like that? I even bought a 9th tier magic book for 1 million lin.
I spent so much money that I ended up touching the imperial treasure, and I had to face the Emperor’s wrath firsthand, and I was fired from my position as student body president.
And if it’s according to the original setting, the dialogue after this is obvious.
‘Huh. You can’t kick me out. I’ll go out on my own two feet.’

‘You will not be able to bear the darkness of this academy…’
‘Don’t regret it. I will definitely come back!’
This is the prologue.
And Wolfram meets a very gruesome end five minutes later.
‘You, because of you, because of you!! If I just believed you, then I would let you graduate, then die! Die! Die!!’
-Ke…gah….a stray like you…
Die.
He gets stabbed to death by a guy who was his confidant but was later expelled for tail-cutting.
But strangely enough, he keeps his promises.
Our Wolfram. He reappears in Act 5.
As a zombie.
Appears in the episode where the student council room is invaded while saying “geu-euh geu-euh”.
In the Imperial Route, it appears especially in front of Eve···.
‘Ke, Celts, I can’t do it.’
‘Eve! Swing the holy sword! That’s not your brother!’
‘Celtus!’
‘eve!!’
-Geuuuuuuuu
‘Wolfram. No, Brother Wolfram… Rest in peace. Goodbye.’
-···thanks.
Put a stick on the holy sword.
A zombie toady that strengthens the bond between the protagonist and Eve!
And that’s where the story really ends.
Wolfram, you found a match for my sister. Wow!
Thanks for the will too. What the hell. I can’t help but laugh. Thanks, you f*cking idiot!
And now I finally understand exactly what my reality is, what my situation is.
Really? You die in the next scene?
Is this the end? Getting kicked out of the academy and getting stabbed in the ass?
“Wolfram von Lohengrin. This is the last mercy. Leave the Academy and live quietly.”
“······You’re going to kick me out?”
“Yes. Let me say it again. By imperial decree, all of your authority and privileges as student council president are hereby revoked.”
“under.”
I laughed. No, I pretended to laugh. I had to at least keep my composure like this to buy time to think.
What should I do?
I think it’s really ruined.
Is there no way?
“Deprivation… deprivation.”
“okay.”
“It’s deprivation.”
“Yes.”
“······.”
no.
wait for a sec.
Could you please wait a moment?
Can’t we still solve many things through dialogue?
Let’s not rush the answer too much, okay?
“Get out of here, Wolfram!”
“······.”
What should I do?
Here, if you say the original line, “You won’t be able to bear the darkness of this academy…” and get out of here, you’ll be stabbed in the butt.
If I don’t want to do that… If I want to survive.
Ah. Ah. Wait.
Eve guy obviously···.
Didn’t you say deprivation?
“Didn’t I tell you to get out of the academy right away? Wolfram!”
“No. I can’t do that. I’m not going out.”
If it’s deprivation, it’s a different story.
“······what?”
“Read the imperial decree again, Yves von Lohengrin. Where is it written that I was expelled?”
“············Huh? Ha, but it says it’s being taken away!”
“Yes. It says that Wolfram von Lohengrin is ‘stripped’ of all his ‘privileges,’ including his position as student council president.”
“Uh, uh uh···. Then!”
“Next student body president. Do you remember Article 1, Section 8 of the Zephrin Academy Regulations?”
“···Huh? Wait, Article 1, Section 8. Section 8?”
As expected of Eve. A diligent, loner scholarship student.
You’ve been memorizing all those long, long, crappy clauses.
Of course I memorized it all. I played this game for a long time like a loner!
Hi, loner friend! Nice to meet you!
ruler.
Article 1, Section 8 of the Jeffrin Academy.
[All students at Zephrine have the basic right to be students of the Academy from the moment they enroll.]
[All Academy students, except for the student body president, are equal under the school rules.]
“In other words, being a student at the Academy is not a privilege. It is the right and duty of a student.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I’m going back to being a regular student now. All my privileges? I’ll give them back. But you can’t infringe on my rights and obligations either.”
“···what?”
“In other words, I’m telling you to just ignore me and prepare for the next student council meeting.”
“There’s no way I can do it!”
This time, the one who shouted was a female student next to Eve.
“What does it mean?”
“Taking away all your privileges means taking away all the wealth and rights you’ve enjoyed so far! Your special room in the Glastheim dormitory, the eighty million shillings you were paid every month! Even the student council account! Even the special grading you enjoyed! There’s no way you’ll survive the academy! Don’t talk so easily when you don’t even know how hard it is!”
Only then did I stare intently at his face.
That’s probably her name. Sylphia. Eve’s guardian, and the next student council secretary.
He was a good senior to the original protagonist, Celts, and was a commoner.
“I guess you think that I, a member of the royal family, can’t stand that.”
“···Of course!”
“What are you going to do if you do it?”
“uh?”
“···What are you going to do?”
“That, that···.”
“Are you sure?”
“······No, it’s not like that.”
“But why did you say that?”
“No, that’s···.”
“Apologize. I can do it. Don’t judge others’ abilities by your standards.”
“I’m sorry…” “Don’t apologize, Sylphia!”
Eve glared at me with her sizzling eyes, and Sylphia shut her mouth.
“Don’t be so angry, Yves von Lohengrin. You didn’t even accuse me of insulting the imperial family. Don’t you know? All students at Zephrin are equal before the school rules.”
“···Wolfram. This man is like a snake’s tongue!”
Eve got angry when I giggled. Let’s stop teasing her.
“Yes. Congratulations, Eve. Your rebellion was successful. From now on, that seat is yours.”
“······!”
I stood up from my seat and stood in front of Eve.
Playtime is ten thousand hours. In the meantime, I think I’ve taken this kid’s route a little over four hundred times?
I guess I feel a certain affection for him because I see his face every time.
But now you shouldn’t get close.
No, I have no intention of getting close.
Okay. You guys, live freely. Break some stories, see some endings, protect the world, and do some youth projects. Got it?
“I will live my life in search of my freedom.”
“···What are you talking about?”
“If you don’t understand, you don’t have to understand.”
Oh, but come to think of it, that Wolfram bastard really gets in trouble for every word he says.
It seems like it might be a royal or Wolfram character trait. Anyway.
“Now. I can be free.”
“···Wolfram von Lohengrin. You have no freedom within this academy.”
“No, there is. I know how.”
“······.”
“That chair is heavy. Student body president.”
As I said that, I got up from the student council president’s chair and passed behind Eve.
I left the student council room before her violence could reach me.
I hear something roaring behind me, but I can’t help it.
I’m really sorry for being such an oblivious brat, but I should’ve disappeared before the main story even started.
But I have to live too.
What can I do?
You work hard and make this school shine.
How am I going to live from now on?
“Should I try running a convenience store that I couldn’t finish?”
Just about. Comfortably. The way I want to live.
I’ll live while dreaming of dreams that I couldn’t achieve.
