#Episode 141
The female silhouette asked the male silhouette in the far corner.
“Hey. Hancheon, what are you going to do? Don’t you have anything to say?”
No one knows what expression the male silhouette is making.
The only thing that is revealed is his body shape.
Moderate height, moderate build, moderate length hair.
He answered in an irritated voice.
“What do you want to hear?”
“Just say whatever.”
“Then let me say something. Get out. Get out and go take care of Jangcheon.”
A female silhouette burst into laughter.
“That’s not one word. It’s two words. Can’t you count?”
“I’ll count better than you. How about listening carefully with those long ears and making a good judgment?”
The female silhouette was silent.
I just looked at the man I called Hancheon without saying a word.
The man quietly raised his middle finger and then disappeared from that spot.
There were a total of seven people left in this place, including a female silhouette.
She asked.
“That’s why I said before. The existence called ‘Jin Shihou’ is a variable itself. Of all the living beings in this world, there is no one who reacts to changes in the environment as sensitively as Jin Shihou. He can be the most vile being, the most powerful being, or the most disgusting being. Why on earth do we leave him alone? On my planet… … .”
The words of the female silhouette were interrupted by a man of enormous size.
“Stop it. There’s little we can do.”
“Do you really think there isn’t one?”
“In order to smoothly progress the story of the star, it is right to include such ‘variables’. If I were to give evidence, it would be that the story of the star that progresses the story does not take any action. That would be sufficient evidence.”
This wasn’t wrong either.
But there was just one thing that bothered me.
A man of enormous size.
The ruler of the world, ‘Kwonsin (拳神)’, added a word.
“But the relics of the Heavenly Lord are a different story.”
“How is it different?”
“The fact that the variable has the power to destroy the story of the stars, that it has the power to break down the gates of truth, is not just a variable, it is a definite threat.”
The ruler of the underworld, Kwon Shin, looked around.
“First, we need to figure out how to get the two relics from him.”
“Do you remember anything?”
Kwon Shin answered confidently.
“There is one.”
“What is that?”
“After subduing that bastard, we bring back the relics of the Heavenly Lord.”
At those words, the rest of the silhouettes burst into laughter simultaneously.
“That’s why you’re doing this now, isn’t it? You haven’t forgotten what a ‘covenant’ is, have you?”
Kwon Shin wasn’t that stupid.
“You just have to summon him to ‘Nine Heavens.’”
“… … I really don’t want to do that.”
Kwon Shin chuckled.
“If he turns his back on us, he will come to the underworld in one way or another. I don’t know where he will go, so we can just subdue him.”
“… … .”
The massive figure of the king disappeared like that.
So slowly, the other silhouettes disappear.
The last thing left was a female silhouette.
she is.
To be honest, I was anxious.
A sigh escapes me.
“Ah. I guess it’ll work out somehow.”
So all the ascendants left the ‘waiting room’.
* * *
The name is Chateau Cheval Blanc.
Vintage is 1999.
The moment you hold it in your mouth, and the moment you pass it down your throat, every moment reveals the true value of this wine.
Flavors of gorgeous flowers, raspberries, blackcurrants, red fruits, ripe plums, bite-worthy apples and soft cherry.
It’s soft.
It was so soft.
Jeongbin slowly put down his glass.
“Good.”
The world was in chaos, and countless people were dying at this very moment, but Jeongbin felt no emotion about it.
I didn’t even feel it myself.
That things are changing.
no.
Maybe it has changed a long time ago.
It was at that moment that I was about to turn around.

“Since when?”
I turned my head. There was a man in front of the table.
The man with his hair tied back was wearing the same clothes I had seen him in at the crosswalk when I first saw him.
Black coat.
I heard that it’s a coat made from the skin of dragons on Titan.
Jin Shihou lifts his wine glass, which is half empty.
“It’s been about a month since I met you?”
“Yes, it’s been about 36 days.”
“I haven’t seen you drink wine once in 36 days.”
“Yes. I never thought I would like wine. It’s called Chateau Cheval Blanc, 1999. Try it, brother.”
Jin Shihou did not refuse.
I had a drink.
“It’s okay.”
He put down his glass with a thud. Jeongbin pulled back his chair and sat down slowly.
“Brother, you too, please sit down.”
Silently, Jin Shihou sat down.
Jeongbin smiles brightly.
“Somehow, seeing you like this makes me feel really strange.”
“How is it strange?”
“Just like that, my heart starts pounding. When I went down to the countryside, there was a valley nearby. If you look in the corner, there was a brook that was trickling down, and it was so sweet, like when I heard the sound.”
“You’ve become a pervert in the few days I haven’t seen you.”
“Is that so?”
Haha, Jeongbin, who was laughing happily, looks into Jinshihoo’s eyes.
“You still haven’t answered my question.”
“Me?”
“Since when?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I think you asked me when I started liking wine, right?”
“Besides that, since when did you start feeling that something was strange about you?”
“… … It’s been a while. About… … five days?”
Five days ago was the day Phase 2 began.
Jin Shihou let out a sigh.
“Did you see that? It’s like a hint about the Emperor.”
“Yes, I saw it roughly.”
Jin Shihou lifted the watch and pressed a certain part.
Then, a hologram the size of a 32-inch monitor appears in front of your nose.
The Emperor is neither in his 80s, 70s, 60s, or 50s, and where he lives, and what job he dreamed of when he was a ‘human’, and what job he has now.
All of those things were out there.
Jin Shihou opened his mouth in a small voice.
“Emperor is in his mid-twenties.”
Jeongbin didn’t take any action. He didn’t even react.
“The Emperor has a younger sister.”
Jeongbin looked at Jinshihu without saying a word.
Jin Shihou continues speaking.
“The Emperor was in charge of the country until a month ago.”
Jeongbin smiles softly.
“Emperor’s dream was to be a writer. And now he has achieved that dream. And.”
Jin Shi-hoo paused for a moment, turned off the hologram, and leaned back in his chair. He sighed and continued.
“Emperor is a ghostwriter.”
Only then did Jeongbin speak.
“Is that me?”
“Oh, it’s you.”
“okay.”
“There aren’t that many people who know that you’re a ghostwriter. Just my older sister, Chief Secretary Yoon Young-soo, and that guy, JH, or something. The team leader there, and me, a total of four people.”
Jeongbin stood up from his seat and looked outside.
The White Hotel is huge. The building has a whopping 40 floors.
Looking down from the 40th floor, Seoul is quite noisy these days.
Should I say that everyone around me is running away from this side?
“Are you evacuating?”
“uh.”
“I see you over there, Chief Secretary Yoon Young-soo. The shape of the sword you’re holding seems to have changed a little… … Or not?”
“You saw it well. It has changed.”
Jeongbin continued to look outside without looking back. He continued speaking with a smile.
“Hey, I see that person like this. Is that Han Jeong-ah? The new 2nd team leader of the Salvation Guild.”
“that’s right.”
“I see Team Leader Cha Ju-yeon over there too. Oh… … And I guess that’s them. Werewolves.”
“Can you feel it?”
“Yes. On the outside, it looks like a normal Awakened person, but on the inside, it’s very different.”
Not long ago, Jin Shihou gave a secret weapon called the Harmonious Heart to Liu Ha, the king of the werewolves.
Yuha has been researching a way for his men to draw out werewolf powers from their human form without necessarily transforming into werewolf form, and he has recently succeeded.
But is it really that easy to figure this out just by looking at the outside from such a distance?
This is something that Jeongbin, who was a B-class Awakened person, could never do.
“older brother.”
“why?”
“What should I do?”
Jeongbin’s expression looked a little sad. Jin Shihou said nothing. He had nothing to say.
What to do.
This question was really easy and yet very difficult. Jeongbin continued.
“I feel so lucky to have met you, brother.”
“What are you talking about out of the blue?”
“36 days was not a long time, but it was the most meaningful time in my 26 years of life.”
“That’s fortunate.”
“Thanks to you, brother, I was able to achieve a dream that I had never been able to achieve due to the reality. Although I had to use the power of artifacts to write it, it was still good. I was able to write it with my own hands. It was fun. I wish this moment could have lasted longer… … Unfortunately, this is how it ended up.”
Jeongbin’s eyes become moist.
Jungbin soon launched the hologram.
And he showed it to Jin Shi-hoo.
It was a status window.
It was written like this.
[Name: Jeongbin]
[job : ?]
[Achievements?]
[Level: ?]
[Current rating: ??]
[Potential Rating: ??]
[Stat]
[Strength:??] [Agility:??] [Intelligence:??] [Stamina:??] [Mana (Internal Energy):??]

[You were chosen by the system.]
[You cannot refuse.]
[You are the Emperor.]
[As a boss monster, you must destroy Star #2403 as much as possible.]
[#2403 Infect or kill 1,000,000,000 inhabitants.]
[I will grant you one wish.]
[Character number #4,848,484 of Star #2403, you will die 24 hours after awakening as Emperor.]
[Extra time is granted by ‘###s’.]
[You will die after ’48 hours’ after awakening as Emperor.]
Jin Shi-hoo looked at the status window and said nothing.
Because silence would have been sufficient as an answer.
“Why me of all people?”
Jeongbin smiles bitterly.
“I finally found a way to be happy. I was able to achieve my dreams. Now, I can do better.”
Jeongbin closes his eyes.
“… … It’s sad, brother.”
“Binah.”
“yes.”
“What should I do?”
“… … What?”
“There is also a way to ‘seal’ you so that you don’t die.”
“Is that even possible?”
“Your brother can do more than you think. He can keep you from dying within 48 hours.”
“It’s not easy.”
“That’s true. I don’t know how strong you’ll become, but sealing a being with that kind of power is quite risky for me. But.”
But the next thing was important.
“It’s you. That level of risk isn’t a big deal to my person.”
Jeongbin laughed.
