The World’s Greatest Man is Dead Episode 114
A pure white world. The ground, the sky, everything has turned white, creating a space filled with a sense of incongruity.
I was standing here quietly, and I put my finger on my forehead.
“… … What the X-Pal.”
I spat out harsh curses. I couldn’t help but spit them out.
“Oh my… … .”
I’ve been here once already. Quite a few times, but every time I’ve been there, I’ve had a shitty experience.
“… …Why are you here again?”
“Why am I here?” I asked, turning around in fear as I remembered the reason.
“You said you’d find out when you woke up. Was this what it was for?”
As I spoke with a frown on my face, a change occurred there.
The smoke began to gather and take shape, and when I noticed it, it had taken the form of a human.
Black Star Yucheon-gil.
The old man appeared in front of me.
“Tch, tch.”
Yoo Chun-gil was smiling his characteristically unlucky smile, as if he found my reaction amusing.
“How is it? How do you feel about coming back after such a long time?”
“It tastes like shit. Just like that.”
There’s no way I’ll get a good response.
‘I’ve died here several times.’
A place where I died so many times that I didn’t even want to count them.
This was the dream that Yucheon Gil had created.
‘… … It’s the same as last time.’
This is a place I have also experienced at Cheongwolmun.
This is the place where Yoo Cheon-gil fought like crazy when he was young.
No, it’s even weird to say that we fought.
That was a one-sided massacre.
“… … What are you trying to do again?”
What is the real reason you brought me here again?
When I asked him this, Yoo Cheon-gil said to me with a very puzzled expression.
“What, didn’t you ask me that earlier?”
“……yes?”
“How to make the moon shine. How do you do that?”
“… … .”
I definitely asked that though.
“… … Then why don’t you explain it to me in words? Why did you call me here?”
“As I said back then, it’s both annoying and difficult to explain in words. I thought this method would be easier.”
“……no…….”
“Besides, it seems like the time has come. It was a necessary procedure.”
“Is it time?”
“Yes. This is what you said, but didn’t you say you wanted to take something from the warehouse?”
“… … .”
That’s what he said. The snack warehouse that Yoo Chun-gil had made. He said that there would be more treasures hidden deeper than what he had seen then.
Instead of granting me the favor, I offered to give it to you.
‘Is this what you need for that?’
I was wondering why it was like that.
“Now that things have come to this, I hope you learn as quickly as possible.”
As he said that, Yoo Cheon-gil threw something in front of me.
Bam-!
The object flew and landed right in front of me. It was a sword.
This was also the same as last time.
That means.
‘… …Are you telling me to do the same thing as last time?’
Hey, right? You’re not going to try that stupid method again, are you?
But I’m so anxious.
“Don’t worry though, it’ll be a little easier this time.”
Fortunately, Yoo Cheon-gil told me not to worry.
“Just once. Just stop it once.”
“… … Stop it?”
“Yeah. And.”
Yoo Cheon-gil spoke and pointed at me with his index finger extended.
“Don’t just focus on what’s shining, look a little deeper. The answer is there.”
“What is that… … . Ha.”
Before I could even ask, Yoo Cheon-gil disappeared from my sight.
This old man is real.
I gritted my teeth.
But I had to pull out the black one in front.
“……under…….”

I never thought I’d experience this shitty situation again.
‘Don’t ask for nothing.’
I ran my hand through my hair.
Oh, I asked that old man why I was so suffocated, and this is what I got.
I was hoping that since you made a big fuss last time, you wouldn’t do it again.
‘I’m crazy.’
Do you trust that old man because you have nothing to trust?
“Phew.”
I let out a sigh and looked at the sword.
Stop!
“… … .”
The body that had been moving froze on its own.
I just turned my head and looked somewhere.
It’s not like I felt any presence or heard any sound or anything like that.
Just purely.
‘instinct.’
A small instinct wrapped around my body made my head move on its own.
There was something where my gaze was directed.
A rock stuck out of nowhere, colorless against a white background.
‘… … What is that?’
Why is there a rock all of a sudden? There wasn’t anything like that last time.
While looking at the random rock, I discovered something else this time.
There was someone sitting on the rock.
The top had gone somewhere and he wasn’t wearing it, and the tattered bottoms were seriously stained with blood.
Even the naked upper body is covered in scars, including wounds.
I’m just watching it quietly.
Swish.
The figure’s head turned towards me.
Our eyes meet.
“… … !”
Without realizing it, I let out a gasp and took a step back.
‘What is that?’
What the heck is that?
The moment I met those blue eyes, not only did the hairs on my body stand on end, but I felt like my heart was falling to the floor.
Cold sweat is running down my face.
What the hell is that? Can that thing be called human?
‘What are those eyes…?’
The blue-tinted eyes were colorless and had no sense of light or shade.
The expressionless face beneath the blood-stained hair makes me vomit without realizing it.
scary.
I felt like I was crushed with fear just by facing it.
Swaaaaaaah.
There is no wind, but my hair seems to be blowing.
You realize it only after you feel it. Then, this wind-like thing could not possibly be it.
‘… … to live?’
Is this the murderous intent emanating from the author?
Does that mean that life is passing by me in the form of wind?
‘crazy.’
Is that possible?
Is it possible for a human being to do something like that?
At a time when I was just blankly reacting to absurd things.
Bam.
The figure sitting on the rock moved.
“… … Hoo… … . Hoo… … .”
I think as I look at the figure who is getting up unsteadily.
‘It’s dry.’
He’s strangely skinny. I can see he’s quite tall, but how can he be so skinny?
A skinny body full of scars and wounds.
That’s why I’m more scared.
‘Like a hungry beast.’
Those beasts that are so hungry they’ll do anything. That person gave off exactly that feeling.
‘No matter what, this is a bit much.’
There was no need to do anything.
Paldu Station? It wasn’t like this when I saw that guy or when the Poison King showed off his power.
The first thought that came to mind when I saw that was dizzying.
I feel like there is a wall between us that is hard to see because we are the same people.
As soon as I recognize that wall, a feeling of helplessness sets in.
The feeling of helplessness and fear when facing a being far above.
I felt that way when I looked at the author.
Parsac.
A man walks toward me barefoot.
One step at a time.
As he walked, the man left footprints.
I’m talking about footprints made of very red, red blood.
Finally, the man arrived in front of me.
My body was frozen and I couldn’t even walk backwards properly.
“… … You… … What are you?”
“… … .”
It was a dry and murky voice. There was almost no strength to it, and it sounded like sobbing.
I wonder how someone can have such a tired voice.
His mouth wouldn’t open to answer the question.
As if frozen in front of a predator.
It was not easy to see any reaction.
Just to hide the cold sweat flowing down and prevent the tremors from spreading across my body.
That was the best I could do.
After some time had passed like that.
“……you…….”
The man tries to continue speaking.
“……no…….”
He soon shook his head.
“… … Now. That’s enough.”
And then he whispers something as if he has given up.
“Now… … it’s all meaningless.”
A voice without any emotion.
His voice was so indifferent to the intense murderous intent.
I was actually afraid of that.
It exists even among demons.
There are also evil spirits who are filled with rage and only want revenge.
There are also evil spirits who become corrupted by foolishness or sadness.
The scariest thing among them is.
‘A demon who has let go of everything.’
Let go of your emotions, and let go of your memories.
Beings who immerse their entire bodies in nothing but flowing malice.
I know it’s harder to deal with such demons.
But.
‘… … This one seems similar too.’
The feeling of this gentleman in front of me was quite similar to that.
Is it okay to leave it like this?
The moment I looked at the man with anxious eyes.
Crunch.
With the sound of something breaking.
“……omg…….”
My eyes lit up.
* * *
“Ugh… … . Gasp!!”
Raise your upper body, breathe heavily, and look around.
It’s not a white world.
It was a familiar setting. This was the room I was staying in.
I checked it and covered my mouth with my hand.
“Ugh… … .”
I can’t help but feel nauseous.
I felt so sick I couldn’t stand it.
“… … Ugh… … .”
Is he dead? It seemed like it might be.
When did you die?
Could it be that the crashing sound was my head?
‘I haven’t seen it at all.’
I haven’t seen a single one of them die in any way.
Fortunately, it didn’t happen again and I was able to wake up from the dream.
‘Are you crazy?’
I had to vent my frustration as I recalled what I had experienced.
‘What the heck is that?’
What was the entity you encountered?
‘… … Is that also Yoo Cheon-gil?’
The first time I met him in Yeongmong was when he was young.
I think the man I met this time might be Yoo Cheon-gil’s past.
‘……indeed……?’
I wasn’t sure. That was because he was too skinny to be called Yoo Cheon-gil.
‘They seem to be similar in height and have moon eyes, so I think they’re a match.’
If that’s true, then when on earth will we be enemies?
When did he become such an enemy and give off such a monstrous aura?
“… … It was weird even when I was a teenager, but this is different.”
Even if I give in a hundred times, this behavior was too much.
‘How can you fight something like that?’
It became ‘that kind of thing’ in an instant, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
There is such a thing as moderation, but in my opinion, that is not something that can be solved through effort.
That too was at a certain level, but this wasn’t it.
‘You’re like an old man without a conscience.’
I looked around here and there to immediately investigate.
However, Yucheon-gil was not visible.
Where did this guy go again?
It’s not visible. It used to disappear every now and then.
‘You’re disappearing without even giving an explanation?’
Where did you go after letting me have that dream without permission?
When you have questions.
‘uh.’
I furrowed my brows at the thought that occurred to me.
‘By any chance… this gentleman.’
Can’t you come out when you’re in a dream?
Until I achieve the conditions for escaping the dream.
I wonder if it won’t come out. That’s what I think.
‘Certainly. It was like that back then too.’
Even when I first entered the dream at Cheongwolmun.
Yoo Cheon-gil never appeared while I was struggling in Yeongmong.
I remember swearing a lot because I didn’t have it when I needed it.
Then, after overcoming the ordeal in the dream, he finally revealed himself.
That’s right.
‘yet?’
Isn’t that still the case now?
I rub my stomach and chest with my hands, thinking about the expectations.
“Oh… … .”
The feeling of being about to throw up won’t go away.
I got up, thinking I needed to get some air.
I’m going to throw up if I keep thinking like this.
I grab the doorknob to go out in a hurry.
Knock knock!
Someone opened my door before that.
“You should be up by now, right? It’s mealtime-”
“Ugh… … !!”
I covered my mouth with my hands to keep from gagging.
“… … .”
A person who saw me like that.
A woman who has been very well-dressed since morning.
The most beautiful girl in the world, Mo Yong-yeong, furrowed her pretty eyebrows roughly.
