Episode 949
“Was the room of the ego here?”
Raon followed Glenn’s fingers and opened his eyes wide.
‘Come to think of it, while I was gathering information about the room of the ego, I didn’t even bother to pay attention to where the room itself was.’
I got information about the room of the ego from several people including Aris, but I didn’t know the important location at all.
‘I was stupid.’
I sighed at myself for being so excited at the thought of entering my ego room.
“Yes. The room of the ego is in the main hall, and it is in this audience room.”
Glenn nodded, saying that there was a room of self inside the audience room.
“That’s why you have to get my permission to enter the ego room.”
He smiled faintly, saying that the conditions for entry were bound to be strict because there was a room of self inside the audience room.
“I see.”
Raon nodded, turning his gaze to the left.
‘Come to think of it, Karun also appeared in the Gaju War.’
I remembered waiting in front of the main gate to see if Karun had ascended to transcendence.
“Then let’s go.”
Glenn nodded gently and came down from the stage.
“I will guide you.”
Roen, who was standing in front of the pillar, walked towards the door on the right.
‘The door on the right.’
To the right of the stage, there was a door that was as gray as a wall.
I’ve often seen the door on the left open and close, but this was the first time I’ve seen the door on the right open.
Thump.
Roen took a yellow key out of his vest’s inside pocket and opened the door on the right.
“Please come in.”
As he stepped aside, Glenn walked heavily through the door.
“The Lord of the Wind Wind will go too.”
“yes.”
Raon bowed to Roen and followed Glenn through the door on the right.
‘corridor?’
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a windowless hallway. It had the typical old building smell, but the floor and walls were spotless, indicating that it was well maintained.
-Is this really the right place?
Lars frowned as if he couldn’t understand.
-They say it’s a mysterious place where the axes of time and space change, but they manage it so sloppily?
‘It’s not sloppy.’
Raon shook his head firmly.
‘If you want to force your way into this place, you have to defeat the strongest player on the continent.’
Only those who have been recognized by Glenn can enter the room of the self. There are only a few people in all dimensions who can defeat him and enter.
-That’s true.
Lars nodded, as if that seemed to make sense, acknowledging Glenn’s powerlessness.
Glenn stood in front of an old door at the end of the hallway. This door was well-maintained, but it showed the signs of age.
“This is it.”
Glenn confirmed that he was followed and opened the old door. It opened silently, as if it had been well-oiled, and he could see inside.
‘Is this the room of the ego?’
It’s a room so wide that you can swing your sword without hitting the walls.
The ceiling, which seemed to be made of piled rocks, was covered with ever-lasting lights, and the walls and floor were painted with spiderweb-like cracks that made it look as if they would collapse at any moment.
There was a full-length mirror embedded in the black wall in front, which was so old that it didn’t seem strange if it broke at any time.
It was an ordinary room, except that it was very old, so I began to doubt whether this was really my room.
“My lord. This place is…”
“Yes. It is the room of the ego.”
Glenn looked down calmly, as if he was sure he was in the right place.
“hmm….”
Raon let out a low groan as he scanned the entire room.
“You don’t seem to believe me.”
Glenn gave a faint smile, as if he knew it.
“It seems a little different from what I heard….”
He looked around the room again and scratched his bangs.
“I don’t know what you heard, but this is the room of the self that has lasted for a thousand years.”
Glen nodded, saying he was in the right place.
‘I don’t feel anything?’
I heard that the room of the ego is on a different time axis from the present world, so I thought that some special magic was being used, but when I saw it in person, it was just an ordinary room.
‘Ras. Do you feel anything?’
He lightly elbowed Lass, as he was not caught by his own senses.
-Hmm… .
Lars glanced around the room, licking his lips briefly.
-I don’t know? Is this really the right place?
The guy lowered his eyebrows and muttered that there was nothing.
“Yeah. I see what you’re looking at.”

Glenn nodded, as if he now understood.
“You may be suspicious, but there is nothing you can do about it. This is the only room of the self that I know.”
He said that there was no need to go in and pointed to the exit where Roen was standing.
“No. I’ll go in.”
Raon shook his head fiercely. He wasn’t suspicious of Glenn, he was just curious about the identity of the room of the ego.
“Phew.”
I exhaled a heavy breath and entered the space called the room of the self. There was no change even though I stepped inside. It was still just an ordinary room.
‘I guess I need to unpack first.’
Raon took out a bundle containing Nadine bread from his subspace pocket.
‘I think this will be enough.’
I brought enough Nadine bread to last a few months, as I don’t know how long I’ll be in my room.
Although Las was disgusted, Nadine bread was the best food to eat in a place like this.
-Ugh…
As soon as Lars saw the bundle containing the Nadine bread, he frowned and gagged.
-Look, get that disgusting thing out of the way of the King! Just looking at it makes me want to vomit!
The boy was shaking his hands, feeling as if he was suffocating from the smell of rubber.
‘It doesn’t smell?’
Raon tilted his head, his nose pressed against the bundle.
-Even your sense of smell is so poor! How can you not smell that smell!
Lars gritted his teeth as if holding back a curse.
“Is that Nadine bread?”
Glenn seemed to know that it was a Nadine bread just by looking at the shape of the bundle and nodded.
“Yes. I brought a lot because I might be there for a long time.”
“That won’t be necessary.”
He shook his head, saying two or three would be enough.
“Yes. What is that…?”
Raon looked at Glenn and let out a sigh. If the time axis changed, he would have to spend quite a long time in this place, and he didn’t understand why he only needed two or three Nadine buns.
“You’ll know in a little while. No explanation needed.”
Glenn smiled faintly, saying that he would understand naturally.
“Well, I guess I took up too much of your time.”
Glenn turned away from the light on the ceiling.
“Then I hope you find the path you want and come out.”
He left the room of the ego, saying that he would wait. Judging from the disappearance of his presence outside the door, it seemed that he had returned to the audience room.
“hmm….”
Raon narrowed his eyes as thin as thread, looking at the faintly flickering lights on the ceiling.
‘I still can’t believe this is my room.’
I was expecting a hidden cave in Bukmangsan or a special underground space, but I didn’t expect to stay in such a small and ordinary room. To be honest, I was disappointed.
‘No, rather than that… .’
What should I do here?
Neither Glenn, Aris, nor Rimmer were told what to do in the room of the ego.
I don’t know what or how to become strong in this small room.
‘if….’
I tried using the Cartoonist and the Ring of Fire with some anticipation, but nothing changed.
-If you don’t know, just go to sleep! I couldn’t sleep properly last night because of you!
Lars waved his hand, suggesting that they should first catch up on some sleep.
‘That’s not bad either… .’
Raon shook his head while sitting on the floor.
‘I think it would be good to start with meditation.’
After reaching transcendence, mental training became more important than physical training.
I was trying to gradually increase my meditation time, and I thought this would be a good opportunity to focus on meditation.
-When you meditate, the noise in your head rings and it’s noisy!
Lars pushed his face in, telling her to stop meditating and go to sleep.
‘Then I won’t make it boring for you?’
Raon looked at Las and smiled.
-Someone like you? It’s not easy to pique the interest of the King!
Las nodded, saying, “If you can, try it.”
‘Then, so that our Las won’t be bored… .’
Raon took out Nadine bread from his pocket that he had left on the floor.
-Hey, wait a minute! Now that I think about it, now is the perfect time! I’m not bored at all… .
‘Yeah. It’s late.’
I put the Nadine bread in my mouth while watching Las waving his hands. The hard rubbery taste created a heavy storm in my mouth.
-Ugh…
Lars, who was mumbling that he was bored, rolled around on the floor with foam at the mouth.
-You must be in pain too, how can you… .
The guy was shaking all over with red eyes. Fortunately, he didn’t seem bored anymore.
‘I said it before, I’m edible.’
Although it can’t be compared to delicious food, Nadine bread also had its own taste. I was able to enjoy it enough.
-This Nadine bread guy… .
Lars slumped down after saying something that was either a compliment or an insult.
‘It’s a bit quieter now.’
Raon threw the hanging Las next to the Nadine bread bag and fell into a world of meditation.
* * *
“… … .”
Glenn watched Raon’s room as he entered it without leaving the old hallway.
“You don’t have to worry too much.”
Roen stood behind Glenn and laughed heartily.
“If it’s you, Raon, you’ll definitely come back having gained a lot.”
He ended his speech in a confident tone, as if he trusted Raon.
“It doesn’t matter whether you get it or not.”
Glenn shook his head, his eyes downcast.
“Because Raon can grow even if it is not in his own room.”
I gained confidence while watching Raon and Karun’s duel. Raon had the qualities of a warrior who could rise higher than anyone else regardless of his ego.
A realm beyond human reach. The only one who could reach the end, ignoring the law of causality, was Raon.
‘Of course, that’s not just Raon’s power.’
Raon’s special talents and abilities were aided by the Demon King, whom he called his friend.
It is because that child was with me that Raon exists today.
‘I’d like to meet you.’
Before time runs out, I want to meet the Demon King and thank him for taking care of my grandson.
“Of course.”
Roen nodded, saying that Raon can become strong in any situation.
“Still, I can’t help but have high expectations. They say that the stronger the Sieghart blood, the more you can gain from the Room of Self.”
Glen opened the door to his room with a faint smile on his face.
Percussion!
The dark room where Raon should have been meditating was empty, like a small study filled with the smell of old books.
“It may be my wish, but….”
Glenn smiled faintly as he closed the door to the room where Raon had disappeared.
“I think Raon will come back with something pretty big.”
* * *
Tch.
Raon opened his eyes, clicking his tongue roughly.
‘It’s not working.’
I meditated for quite some time, but nothing changed. I was still just staring at the mirror in an empty room.
-That’s why I said it’s not meditation!
Lars snorted, saying he should have listened to himself.
‘You said you wanted to eat ice cream!’
I had some beaded ice cream and a few snacks for Las in my subspace pocket, but I had absolutely no intention of eating them right now.
‘But how much time has passed?’
Since I was in a place without windows, I had no sense of time. It felt like four days had passed, or maybe a week had passed.
-What four days! It’s been two weeks!
Lars shook his head, saying a week had passed a long time ago.
‘Two weeks? I’ve only eaten three Nadine buns?’
-I didn’t wake you up because I thought you’d be better off starving!
The guy shook his head, saying that it must have been more than two weeks if only he was counting the time.
‘It’s strange?’
When you become a Transcendent, you can maintain your sense of time even in dark spaces, but the flow of time between yourself and Ras was very different.
‘It seems like time has already been distorted.’
It seemed that the effect of the room of the self, where time and space were changed, was starting to show.
‘Then should I practice some swordsmanship?’
Fortunately, the ceiling was high and the room was quite spacious, so it seemed like I could practice swordsmanship if I didn’t have to use the aura.
-You only do really boring things.
Lars yawned and lay down on the floor, seemingly uninterested.
‘Then you will eat the Nadine bread that interests you….’
-Oh, no! It’s really interesting!
The boy raised his sparkling blue eyes, saying that he would look at them intently.
‘I didn’t know threats would work this well.’
I thought I’d have to carry a set of Nadine bread with me from now on for blackmail purposes.
‘If there’s anything you regret, please tell me.’
After asking Lass for advice, he raised the Heavenly Sword above his head and brought it down.
Hooooooooooo!
From basic swordsmanship to the Heavenly Sword, he unleashed all the swordsmanship techniques he had mastered, then lowered the Jecheon Sword.
‘It didn’t take long.’
There were so many swordsmanship techniques and secrets that I had mastered that it took a long time at first, but after repeating them so many times, I was now able to perform all the basic techniques without much trouble.
-Aren’t you tired of repeating the same sword techniques?
Lars wrinkled his nose as if he didn’t understand.
‘It feels new every time I do it?’
Training was always fun and enjoyable for me, because I felt myself growing every time I swung my sword.
-I should have taken that damn talent away… .
Lass smacked his lips as if he was sorry.
‘Let’s try one more time.’
I can concentrate well because the room is dark.
As I lifted my Jecheon Sword to practice my swordsmanship again, the lights on the ceiling suddenly went out as if a gust of wind had blown.
‘hmm?’
Why did the lights suddenly go out?
I looked up, thinking it was strange, and my eyes met with mine in the mirror.
‘Something….’
I felt a sense of alienation when I saw myself in the mirror. I had blonde hair and was wearing black training clothes, but I felt like a different person.
Phew!
As Raon frowned and looked at himself in the mirror, a blue lump appeared behind him.
‘Ras…?’
The Lass that should have been visible only through his own eyes was reflected in the mirror.
‘Nonsense!’
I took a step back, bewildered by the incomprehensible situation, but the person in the mirror was still standing in the same spot.
‘no way….’
When Raon bit his lips hard, the corners of his mouth in the mirror formed a soft curve.
