I became a childhood friend of the middle boss.
In the game, the World Tree’s blessing was given only to the main character, Kang Han-byeol.
You could call it a privilege.
But it was incomprehensible that it was also given to me.
‘Why? why? And what was the strong star you just saw?’
I don’t know.
Even I, who was a gamer in my past life, am full of things I don’t understand.
It didn’t happen in the game, so there’s nothing we can do about it.
I opened a status window to see if other people were also receiving the World Tree’s protection.
As expected, no change occurred in their physical abilities except for Kang Han Byeol and me.
It was given only to Kang Han Byeol and me.
Aside from Kang Han-byeol, who was the main character of the game, only me, who was only a member of his party and did not have a large role in the game.
I couldn’t help but think of certain possibilities.
‘Could it be related to my reincarnation?’
It may be considered excessive self-consciousness, but it is inevitable that your thoughts will turn in that direction.
But neither I nor anyone else can answer my questions.
If there is anyone who can answer, is it only the World Tree that gave me its blessings?
“… .”
Unfortunately, the World Tree did not respond.
Odelia, the guardian of the World Tree, doesn’t seem to have noticed the change in me either.
In the end, it was a long way to resolve the doubt.
I’m in limbo.
It was at that time that Yeon Ha-neul’s voice woke me up from my thoughts.
“are you okay? I haven’t said anything since a while ago… His face doesn’t look good either… . Where does your body hurt? “Tell me, Gyeonwoo.”
Yeon Ha-neul was looking up at me with an anxious face.
Her eyes, which were holding my hand tightly, seemed to contain only me, not the view from the shrine.
It felt like they were telling me that I was more important than the scenery, that I was the only one.
I felt sorry for her after receiving such worried looks, but for no reason I felt better.
Unanswered questions were pushed to the back burner.
This is a question that cannot be resolved immediately anyway.
I decided to just focus on her and folded my other hand.
“I just looked around because the surroundings were fascinating. There’s no pain anywhere. are you okay.”
“It’s really okay, right? “I have Tylenol in my bag. If it hurts a lot, do you want to take some?”
“It doesn’t even hurt, so what kind of painkiller is it? “I’m fine, I’m really cheerful.”
“Really?”
“Really, really.”
It seems that my condition a little while ago surprised Yeon Ha-neul a lot.
She asked again and again.
I tried to calm her down.
Nevertheless, she was still pouting her lips as if she was not relieved.
“If it’s okay with you, it’s okay, but… . “But if you feel unwell, please tell me.”
“I said I understood. If I’m anxious, just stick next to me. Because if I’m next to you, I don’t think I’ll feel any pain even if I’m in pain.”
“What? “What kind of painkiller am I taking?”
“Oh, somehow. Are you taking painkillers? Is Yeonhaneul’s painkiller effective? “I want to keep it stocked at home at all times, but where can I buy painkillers like yours at a pharmacy?”
“It’s funny, really. They don’t sell it at any pharmacy? “Do you know that I have many things?”
“… Sky, this is an idea that just occurred to me. If we use the gift of division to mass-produce painkillers on a factory basis… .”
“Yeah, crazy. Just stop there. Because it’s not fun at all? “Because I am the only one.”
“I can’t do it. Then I guess I have no choice but to keep you here. “It hasn’t been sold to someone else yet, right?”
“… Chii. Do I have money to buy it? “I guess it’s going to be really expensive, right?”
“How much does it cost?”
“I don’t know, I’ll watch you do it and teach you. But now I see that it’s really okay.”
Fortunately, it seems like the trick of conversion worked.
Yeon Ha-neul, who seemed absurd at first, was soon giggling.
He may say that pranks aren’t funny, but his smiling face is actually cute.
She grabbed my hand and lightly hit me with her elbow as if complaining.
“When can I come up to the shrine again? “Let’s enjoy the scenery to our heart’s content.”
“huh!”
As Yeon Ha-neul nodded cheerfully, her long rabbit ears jumped up and down.
I, who was held by her arm, decided to continue enjoying the view.
At that time, I felt the eyes of my friends.
“… .”
Each of our friends looking at us had a look on their face that they wanted to say something.
Among them, the person who opened the fire was Go Eun-bi, who was shaking her shoulders trying to suppress laughter.
“Oh, that’s cringy! It’s so cringy! Gyeonwoo, is Haneul a painkiller? Yeah, well… . I think I heard somewhere that love is a painkiller, go, kick… . Oh, I’m so embarrassed!”
“Love is a painkiller… . There is a similar saying in Grace. Love cures all diseases… approximately… That’s it… . Ah, I shouldn’t laugh… .”
“It is not scientifically incorrect to say that love is a painkiller. According to data I’ve seen before, when you fall in love, the brain’s reward pathway is activated, so it’s like being on a drug… .”
“My ears, really… . The two of you are often making a lot of money, making money… . Bread, why am I like that… .”
“It’s best to sleep when you’re sick, yam.”

“You guys really get along well? But it’s a painkiller… . Should I try using it the next time I meet my sister?”
“Emotions are related to brain hormones! If you want to feel like a cowherd and a heavenly feeling, feel free to ask me anytime! I’ll touch your brain and make it release a lot of dopamine! Oh, that sounds fun!”
“Hmm, but emotions alone cannot resolve actual injuries. “If it hurts, take Tylenol, Dogyeonwoo.”
“Ne Ne Ne ~ Ne ~ Ne Ne Ne ~ Ne! Ne Ne Ne ~ Ne ~ Ne Ne Ne ~ Ne!”
“Heaven says it’s a painkiller! Dogyeonwoo likes the sky… .”
“Shh! Eundong, just stop there! “If you say any more there, Gyeonwoo will kill you!”
Lisa covered her mouth with her hand and chuckled.
The doctor is adjusting his glasses and giving hesitating explanations.
Min A-rin clicks her tongue in dissatisfaction.
Cha Eun-sol calmly munching on sweet red bean cream bread.
Kang Han-byeol smiles along with the others.
Nam Yuri spreads her arms wide.
Yong Yong-rang nods his head with his arms crossed.
Triplets who keep a tight line.
“It’s nice to see it’s fresh. I think humans have many different expressions of affection. This is not the case with elves because they have long lifespans and are very closed-minded. If you live for a long time, you become insensitive to emotions, and you also know each other well. Also, it could end up as a dark story in the future.”
Lastly, the guardian of the World Tree, Odelia.
“… .”
Yeon Ha-neul and I, who were teased by them, could not bear to raise our heads.
I was embarrassed.
They just had their arms intertwined with each other.
* * *
The foundation of the World Tree can be said to be a sacred instrument kept in a shrine.
They generally take the form of weapons, and according to the legend of the Grace Empire, each one exerts transcendental power depending on its essence.
In fact, in the game, the magic of this place showed a power commensurate with its majesty.
‘I only appeared once in the entire story route. And that too just for a short time, just to end things.’
Game 『Brave Hearts』.
In this game, there was a story that occurred automatically when certain conditions were met.
For example, if the player fails to regularly attack the gates that appear in Academy City, and the gate erosion rate reaches 20%… .
A cataclysm occurs again in Academy City.
Monsters are pouring in from all over Academy City, demons and villains are on the loose, and signs of destruction are unfolding.
Of course, if you don’t stop it, a bad ending awaits you.
[It was a fate that was planned someday.]
[But that time was now.]
[The cataclysm that occurred in Academy City intensified and had a global impact.]
[Even though the countries that had been competing below the surface to train excellent hunters united, they could not defy fate.]
[There was no place that was not infested with monsters, gates covered the sky, demons and villains took advantage, law and society collapsed, and people did not hesitate to harm others in order to survive.]
[A world that has abandoned humanity and justice has arrived, where people have to kill their neighbors in order to live like that.]
[There is no more hope in the world.]
[In the end, the world was quickly destroyed, starting with Academy City.]
[In the end, the world was subordinated to the Gate.]
[Your soul will be stuffed forever… …세계편입 ,ì•„ì¹´ì�´ë¸Œë¶„ì„�,ì�˜ì§€ê°„ì„… .]
[─ Bad Ending ─… ê°„ì„ì €í•, ê¶Œí•œí†µì œ.]
[오염ë�˜ì§€ ì•Šì�€ ì�˜ì§€ë¥¼ 보호합니다. 세ìƒ�ì�„ 최ì �ì�˜ 시기로 ë³µì›�합니다. 회귀를 진행í©ë‹ˆë‹¤.]
[eNoz1FEw0lEwBgAExQEv… .]
[There is still a chance.]
[Do you want to restart the game?]
[Yes No]
Also known as the ending of destruction caused by gate erosion.
In this bad ending, the ending felt like the game was broken for some reason.
On the other hand, if the cataclysm is prevented, the story returns to its original track.
The weapon that appeared in the process was the wonder of the World Tree.
Divine Sword – Endless Hearts.
Kang Han Byeol ends the cataclysm with the sword that suddenly appears before his eyes.
Eradicate the monsters and stabilize the unstable dimension with the power of the divine sword.
This was possible because his gift was Resonance Hands.
‘He was also fundamentally the main character… .’
Unfortunately, even if the cataclysm is prevented with the new sword, the story returns to its original track and ends in that semester, and a suitable bad ending appears in that state.
In reality, the sacrifice of key characters was inevitable in the process of preventing a cataclysm.
Moreover, considering the situation in Academy City, which must have been devastated by the cataclysm, there was no way the story could proceed normally.
‘The news I saw this morning said the erosion rate is currently at 7%. It’s still okay. In the first place, the gate erosion rate has been mentioned since Hanbyeol joined Shield, so you don’t need to worry about it right now… .’
So, I hoped that the hunters would attack the gates in the sky in time.
Anyway, it would be a shame to change the topic to Shin.
‘There must be Endless Hearts stored in there, but I can’t see it… .’
I glanced sideways at the shrine and savored my appetite.
I think I’ll probably never see Shingi in my life.
What if the gate erosion rate reaches 20%?
‘… It might be better to just not look at it.’
If a cataclysm occurs, recovery is impossible.
Desiring peace, I decided to give up my longing for God.
“What does the new sword look like? “It’s a shame I can’t see it.”
“It’s better not to see it.”
“What are you talking about?”
“According to the legend of the Grace Empire, the World Tree’s divine sword only appears when destruction is approaching. Unlike other miracles. So if we look at the new sword, wouldn’t it be dangerous?”
“Well, I will do that. Still, it’s a shame it’s disappointing. I want to touch it just once… . How does the new sword feel in the grip? I’m curious. “Do I feel like I’m a god?”
“You said that, I’m curious too.”
Even Kang Han-byeol, who was unable to use his weapons, seemed to be curious about the sacred device.
Looking around, other people seemed to be at least a little interested.
It seems that all people think the same.
I smiled bitterly.
It was then that Samo Kim, the manager of the mystery exploration club, caught the attention.
“Guys! This is the end of club activities for today! Good job everyone! “Those who want to eat at the after-party can follow us, and those who won’t participate can go home on their own!”
Before we knew it, the club activities were over.
After admiring the scenery from the shrine, we decided to leave the World Tree.
Then Odelia came to see him off.
“It was nice meeting you today. “Everyone, please return safely.”
“Thank you so much today!”
“Goodbye, guys. “Yum yum.”
“what? Cha Eunsol, why are you there? “Aren’t you going?”
Odelia waved at us as we climbed the swing bridge.
Cha Eunsol stood next to her and munched on a hot dog.
We couldn’t help but be taken aback by Cha Eun-sol, who naturally stayed behind.
Of course, I won according to the flow of the game.
“I’ll stay here just a little while longer. It’s also a place that feels good… “The World Tree is calling.”
“The World Tree is also a kind of spirit. I think that’s why I really like Cha Eunsol. So, if you are Cha Eunsol, don’t worry. “I will send it to you in time.”
“… .”
In the game, Cha Eun-sol remained in the shrine of the World Tree in this way.
And by absorbing the energy of the World Tree, all skills related to spirits are raised by 1.
As I welcomed her growth, I had no reason to refuse.
“Okay, do whatever you want. Please take care of Eunsol. Please don’t let him have an accident.”
“Yes, don’t worry.”
“Yum. It’s not me who causes accidents, it’s always you… . Anyway, goodbye.”
So I entrusted Cha Eunsol to Odelia.
We turned our backs on the two people and crossed the swing bridge.
As we went down to the ground, we chatted with each other.
“Lisa, but I just remembered… .”
“Yes, what is it?”
“You and Guardian Odelia use the Grace Imperial language as your native language, so wouldn’t it be okay to speak the Imperial language comfortably when you two are together?”
“ah… Iknow, right. I’m so confused. Guardian Odelia also spoke Korean fluently… “After living here, I have become more comfortable with Korean.”
“Have you forgotten the imperial language?”
“Gyunwoo, do you think I’m a fool? Of course, I also know the imperial language.”
“What, it was something like that.”
* * *
It’s annoying, but things are different when it comes to things related to spirits.
As long as one’s power comes from the spirits, one cannot refuse the request.
Especially when it comes to the World Tree.
“Please guide me.”
“Yes, please come this way. And thank you for staying.”
Cha Eun-sol, who had left all her friends, turned around.
She said to Odelia, who was waiting behind her.
Odelia, who had not been informed of the business in advance, nevertheless nodded as if she understood.
Then he walked in the direction of the shrine.
“I would like to ask you in advance. Please keep what you see and hear in there a secret. You must never reveal this to anyone. “To Princess Lisa, whom I saw a little while ago, and to students Kang Han-byeol and Do Gyeon-woo.”
“I know.”
There was clearly a desire to embrace the refreshing energy of the World Tree and increase communication with the spirits.
However, the fundamental reason why Cha Eun-sol decided to stay was different.
This is because of the World Tree’s request to share its mana.
Standing in front of the shrine, she looked at the tightly closed door.
Eventually, Odelia opened the door.
“Come on in.”
“yes.”
Odelia stepped in first.
Cha Eun-sol followed her and felt the feeling of an unknown magic groping her.
It is a protective magic that protects the shrine.
After receiving permission from Odelia, she was able to enter the shrine without being affected by the protection magic and with the feeling of passing through an invisible barrier.
“… .”
“This way.”
The interior of the shrine, which was made up of huts, had a mysterious yet cozy atmosphere.
There were traces of Odelia’s life nearby.
Soon, Cha Eunsol followed Odelia and turned her gaze to the pillars of the World Tree.
The energy I felt from the moment I recognized the World Tree was coming from there.
It is the divine energy that is the source of the world tree.
However, there was nothing where the spirit was supposed to be.
There is only a hole that shows where something was stored there.
“Since when has it not been there?”
“fairly… It’s been a while. At some point, it disappeared. That doesn’t mean someone stole it. “I said the World Tree was given away.”
“I gave it away… To whom?”
“me too… I do not know. The World Tree didn’t say anything. “No, they say you can’t do it.”
Odelia shook her head with a dark face.
This means that even she, the guardian of the World Tree, does not know anything in detail.
Cha Eun-sol gave up asking her and stuck his hand into the hole.
Infuse mana as is.
“I’ll have to come here often from now on.”
“Thank you, student Eunsol. Thanks to you, I survived. “It was a huge burden for me alone.”
There is no such thing as a miracle that is the source of the world tree.
However, this does not mean that the World Tree has become an empty shell.
Even if the water has stopped flowing, a spring is still a spring.
If the spring is not completely dry, all you have to do is replenish water to save it.
Although it is only a temporary measure.
“Was the reason Academy City’s atmospheric mana wasn’t good because it wasn’t divine?”
“The foundation was not good from the beginning. “After the magic disappeared, it got worse than before.”
“I hope I can find Shingi.”
“Iknow, right. At least I want to know where it is… . Student Eunsol, as I said a little while ago, please never reveal this matter to anyone else.”
“I know.”
What if the news that the world tree’s magic has disappeared becomes known to the world?
At that time, the world, especially Academy City, will become very confused.
Cha Eun-sol, who did not know what Odelia wanted to say, did not raise any objection.
In fact, she didn’t want to get caught up in trouble.
Rather, he seemed to be engrossed in other thoughts.
“I will come here often from now on… “Can it be delivered here?”
“yes? Delivery? “If it’s food delivery, you can’t get it up to the shrine, but you can get it below.”
“That’s a good thing.”
“… “Would you like me to order something?”
“Yes, please.”
“yes… .”
After infusing your body with mana, you are sure to be hungry.
Cha Eunsol swallowed her saliva as she wanted to eat pizza with a lot of cheese.
