Episode 150 < Prologue. (3) >

-Hey, it’s a nice library.
In ancient times, there was a being with the name ‘Pond of Memories.’ Humans cannot pronounce this being’s name properly. ‘Pond of memories’ was just a name that humans had arbitrarily assembled.
The actual pronunciation is ■■■■■. Just as humans do not consider being called crickets when naming them, █████ also did not feel the need to be called humans. If you purify this pronunciation as much as possible, it will be closer to ‘hamustra’.
-The atmosphere is nice too. The book collection is also great.
Hamustra.
That’s what humans called ‘a pond filled with memories.’
-I’ll gladly admit it. ■■■■■.
The person in front of me was different.
-Of all the libraries I have visited, this is by far the best.
This man freely used terminology. That alone was already amazing. ‘Pond of memories’ has always been a place of curiosity. There was a good chance of showing some favor and a little curiosity to that little creature.
No one has ever set foot in this library, except that this human is the first visitor.
-Who are you?
The person in front of me had a very unpleasant smell. It was bizarre. It smelled like a dragon, but it wasn’t a dragon. There was a glimpse of God, but it was not God either.
‘The lake overflowing with memories’ had never seen a human-like being before its eyes.
-How did you get here?
The tone of voice naturally made me wary.
-I have never been allowed to enter. This is my world. Reveal your purpose, stranger.
-I’m not a book thief. Please don’t be too cautious.
The human giggled.
-A small person is a type of insurance solicitor. I am persuading them by meeting each and every one of them.
-I asked about your purpose.
-I’m building a house. No, should we call it a villa? If you are the owner of the building, you are trying to persuade me to let you in as a resident.
The human giggled again.
-…….
The ‘pond overflowing with memories’ was annoying. Thousands of years. Maybe it was the first time in more than twice as long that I felt ‘annoyed’. He loved the characters in the book, regardless of whether they were villains or good characters, and cared for both unlucky and lucky people equally, but in reality, the story is very different.
‘The pond overflowing with memories’ was a great being. What greatness is depends on the definition, but as ‘Pond’ interprets it, true greatness depends on whether or not you can kill annoying things.
-That’s annoying. go away.
‘Pond’ decided to become great again today. He exercised his power lightly.
The power of the ‘pond’ in a library is absolute. Not only ordinary humans, but even outlaws who had reached the transcendent level had no choice but to be torn to pieces and reduced to dust. I was confident about ‘Pond’. A long time ago, before it became as great as it is now, it turned a lot of things into dust.
-oh. sorry.
The person in front of me was not like that.
It was fine.
-Soin has lost the mood. But can you talk a little more? I had a hard time getting here. Ugh, the roads are clogged and the road conditions are bad… .
‘Pond’ was shocked that his greatness had no effect.
It was a huge shock.
It was such a huge shock that ‘Pond’ escaped from reality. The attack just now didn’t use its full power. invalidity. It should have been treated as something that never happened. ‘Pond’ completely completed its self-justification and attacked humans.
-Now that we’re talking, I have to tell you. Are there any doors in this library? Is this a library or a tomb? Please leave some windows open. Be frustrated. It’s almost suffocating.
The human was still fine.
-Would you like Soin to drill a hole for you?
Humans even made holes in the library walls. With a big smile.
-ah. There is some ventilation now.
‘Pond’ was in a daze.
-Is this crazy?
It was the first curse I had uttered in thousands of years.
This library is not just a space. It is the body and soul of the ‘pond’. Therefore, being able to drill a hole in a library wall means being able to stab a person in his own stomach. ‘Pond’ was competent enough to infer that, and smart enough to hate being hit with a knife.
-Okay! I will surrender with a white flag. What do you want from me!
-I want everything from you… .
-Better kill me!
-ah. Is that so? Can I kill you?
-…….
‘Pond’ was pretty smart. At least he had the intelligence to realize that the person in front of him was a dog.
-You don’t want to die either, right? sure. Her life is precious. Well, I want to help you too. Please sign here to protect your precious life.
It was bad luck for ‘Pond’ that Torai had power beyond imagination.
-What is this… ?
-It’s a contract.
-May I ask what the contract is… ?
-Oh, of course. Soin is not some kind of gangster.
Even if it wasn’t a gangster, it was considered something very similar to a gangster, but it wasn’t pointed out. In other words, ‘Pond’ was smart. I knew how to distinguish between what was okay to say and what wasn’t.
-The little man is building a tower.
Tower.
-I will invite beings like you. Entry will also be permitted to the beings you call tiny creatures.
‘Pond’ read the contract carefully. The more I read, the more my expression changed.
At first, I thought the person in front of me was a robber who came to rob the library. It was true that it was a robber ship. I got hit too.
He was not a usurper.
The contract was full of tempting offers.
-You’re going to give me the right to voyeurize the entire world? Really?

-Every world is too much. Only a world where small people can interfere.
-… … These secret provisions.
-You must keep that in mind.
The worries didn’t last long.
Instead, my curiosity deepened.
-Why are you doing this business?
I was curious.
-For what? There is some benefit to you.
-No being is born because they want to.
The human smiled.
-Everyone should be able to live life once more. Even though you may not be able to live the way you want, you should be able to live the way you want.
‘Pond’ could not easily understand human smiles.
-Someday, you too will live again. Mr. Corner Library Director.
That too.

“…….”
The library director looked up at me in confusion.
Did you not understand what I said? I understand, but my head doesn’t work? Either way is fine. I waited without urging the library director.
“Let’s climb the tower together, Ni.”
After a while, the library director muttered.
“See, this is no ordinary constellation. Unlike the ghost that was cast upon you or the holy sword that was given to you, this is the constellation that is in charge of the stage. Even for a person like this, his status is quite high… . Belonging to a specific tower. that. then.”
“So, what happens?”
“… … I don’t know. I have no idea. “This is unprecedented in the tower’s history.”
The Librarian trembled.
“There is a case where a constellation became enamored with a warrior and volunteered to be his servant. Quite a bit. Just as you devoured the [Demon King of Autumn Rain] with [Reincarnation of a Hundred Ghosts], there are also cases where a warrior took over a constellation. but… , but I’ve never heard of a constellation turning into a hunter… … .”
“It could be recorded as the first case.”
“…….”
“Hamustra. “Don’t live in a place like this.”
I looked around.
The graveyard of books.
Traces of the past world remain. That’s it. Time does not pass here, and only the breaths of other people and the stories they tell in other worlds are sealed.
‘be used to.’
A place where one simply admires or envies the world of others.
‘It’s a familiar place to me. ‘This place.’
It reminded me of the room I lived in before returning.
Even in my room, there were numerous photos and interviews of Emperor Yeom.
Although it is so different in scale that it feels disappointing compared to the Great Library.
‘The essence will be the same.’
So I can say.
“Now step directly into the ring.”
You have to get out of here.
“Because I only stay in places like this, people keep becoming strange to me.”
“Wow, this is getting weird… … .”
“The Book of Revelation records people’s lives. When you read that, you might feel like you know everyone, but you don’t. Hamustra. Do you know what it says about the destruction of the world in [The Annals of the Heavenly Demon]?”
The Book of Revelation described the Master’s death like this:
“Suddenly, a mysterious illness occurred and the Heavenly Demon died.”
“What is it.”
“…….”
“There is no way to say anything. “No words.”
You can never know what kind of expression the Master made at the end, what voices the church members cried, or how hard the children by the river worked to dig out the soft mud, just by reading the Book of Revelation.
do not know.
“But!”
The library director countered.
“I can see the main seat. You can take a look. “You can voyeurize!”
“is it so.”
I admitted it obediently.
“You can go into the world and observe for yourself. When Master passed away, I’m sure you felt sad, just as I did. “I don’t doubt that.”
“Huh, then there’s no problem… … !”
“But you probably weren’t sadder than me.”
“…….”
“When Master performed the final fasting of the Heavenly Demon Divine Art, you must have held your breath too. When Geomje struck back and split the moment, you too must have felt awe. But what you felt. “It’s all just ‘impressions.’”
Kuuk.
I grabbed the Librarian’s hand and pulled him a little closer.
“I’m sure you love Raviel too. She will love it. But you know. You can never love her as much as I love her Raviel.”
“…….”
“You’re just tasting it. Sit down in this library world. Without ever putting your life on stage, you just become an audience member. When there’s a performance you like, you clap your hands, and when you don’t, you yawn. “That’s it.”
“This seat is… … .”
“Live with us.”
The Librarian flinched.
“This seat is, uh… We are bound by a strict contract. If you belong to a certain tower or violate such regulations. There will be no doubt that the ‘Tower’ will impose sanctions. Perhaps the Constellation’s power will be lost… . The seat like that is useless. “It’s of no use to you.”
“That’s not the story.”
“…….”
“You know.”
“…….”
“Hamustra.”
I looked straight at the person in front of me.
“It was your dream to be killed by the Constellation Killer one day. Now give up that dream. I’ll give you a new dream. The dream will not always be pleasant, and in fact, it will often be a nightmare. There will be many times when you want to erase it. But if you wish. “If you want, I will be there for you.”
said.
“Live life with me.”
“…….”
“Let you be in my story, and I be in yours, so that we can call ourselves us.”
The Librarian’s lips trembled. He put his left hand, which was shaking even more than that, into his arms. In his hands was a book older than the epic Lefanta Aegim.

■■■■■

The title was unreadable.
A language from another world that we cannot read.
The library director, no, Hamustra, slowly handed over the book containing his life story.
“Death King… … .”
“yes.”
“I, as the author, will give you my final advice. I am your biggest fan. There is no reader who loves you as much as I do, and there will never be another reader. So, make sure you listen carefully.”
“I will listen.”
“If you say that kind of flirting too much, the listener may misunderstand, so please only use your tongue towards Duke Ivansia. Otherwise, Death King, someday Duke Ivansia will pierce your heart and you will die… .”
“I’ve already died like that before. what. “I will keep that in mind.”
“Death King… … .”
“yes.”
“Is it fun to live as a human?”
The library director was afraid.
I smiled.
“It sucks.”
I caught [■■■■■].
“But taffy is delicious if you chew it. “Sometimes your teeth break, but I’ll help you.”
“Damn… … .”
The library director cried.
“This is the last line of my Apocalypse… … .”
The librarian held the spine of the book, and I held the cover.
“It is not easy for life to become like a work of art. “Handle it.”
We have unleashed the Last Apocalypse.
The library director spoke steadfastly, in a voice mixed with fear and tears.
“Death King. The corner library director. Designate the above two people as characters in [■■■■■]. The difficulty level of this Apocalypse is undetermined. When you guys open your eyes, there’s something serialized in Jeolchan-ri… … .”
“When we open our eyes, it will just be like this.”
“… … exactly.”
The librarian looked up at me.
That moment.
“I hereby declare the stage clear.”
Paaaaaa!
White light surrounded us.
