Episode 3. However, he dies. (2)
————==
“yes?”
“It was a joke. Bluffing. I don’t know?”
The Flame Emperor chuckled.
“I don’t have the skill to detect lies. It was just a bluff to try to trick a saint. Wow, both the saint and her brother are like that. Really naive. “Do you believe me?”
“Well… then.”
My lips trembled. I was shocked.
“You weren’t sure at all, but you killed the saint?”
The 9th ranked hero. Saint. Unlike the psychopath in front of her, Hunter has an upright personality and donates most of the money she earns to orphanages. So she killed someone with the title of saint simply because she felt a little suspicious?
‘if so···.’
This guy was not the greatest hunter of all time, but the greatest psychopath of all time.
“hey. How can you look at a person and say such harsh words? Of course I’m sure. The saint really tried to kill me. “If I don’t kill her first, I will be poisoned by the saint tomorrow.”
The Flame Emperor spat on the street.
“Damn it! “When I think about it again, I feel like crap.”
“Well, how do you know that…”
“I know everything.”
He answered as if it were obvious.
“I just know. “There is a way to know everything.”
“······.”
“There’s no need for you to know what that method is.”
I was speechless for a moment.
It wasn’t just because the Flame Emperor was absurdly confident. A certain confidence appeared in the Flame Emperor’s eyes. I am convinced that there really was a reason why the saint was killed. At least that’s how I saw it.
“what. “The way you bring up lie detection makes me think you’re really innocent.”
“ah···.”
“Well, it’s my first time seeing your face too. I remembered the faces of the rats lurking around here. A total of 18 people. Just in case someone wasn’t a f*cking bastard, they even matched the numbers on their heads… hmm. Anyway, that’s right. “Among them, there was no one like you.”
The Flame Emperor touched my head. Stroking. He was smiling.
Did they finally believe that I was innocent?
“Go, thank you!”
“But you know that I am the Flame Emperor. “She also saw that the saint was killed by me.”
Stroking.
“Then you should give it to me.”
Stroking, the Flame Emperor’s hand slowed down.
“My name is Yusu. bye.”
It was that moment. Her head was hot. No, my mind was hot. For a brief moment, it felt as if the top of my head had been touched by a frying pan. But right away, my brain started burning. It sizzled.
My skull boiled like an oil drum.
“···, Wook, ··· ···!?”
I was speechless. There wasn’t even a scream. If it was really painful, humans couldn’t even scream.
‘To this crazy guy…’
‘This is how you die. I.’
Gongja Kim (金孔子).
The name given by the director of the orphanage to become great like Confucius, but he lived a life completely unbecoming of Confucius and died a dog’s death, completely unbecoming of Confucius.
I was sad.
‘ah.’
If you compare it to a game, it was a manga game.
To put it simply, it was a ruined life.
A life that is broken and dead.
[You are dead.]
I hated it.
[The skill condition is achieved due to death.]
Why do I have to die like this?
No, why did I have to live like this?
It was unfair. I was angry. Everything was just unfair. I too could live a little better. It was okay to live a little better. I deserved it. Just made a mistake. Today I made three mistakes. He died by mistake. I’ve lived my life making mistakes. Born by mistake.
Was it a mistake from the moment I was born?
[Randomly copies Hunter Yu Suha’s skills.]
[Forms a skill card.]
I couldn’t hear anything. I couldn’t see it.
However, there was a faint halo of light. It seemed like fireflies were fluttering before my eyes. Some fireflies are the same color. Some fireflies are silver. And some fireflies… were golden.
It was fast.
Golden fireflies flew quickly. It was so fast that it seemed impossible to catch it. There were a lot of fireflies of the same color. It will be easy to catch. There were also quite a few silver fireflies. You can catch it too. But the color of the sun. There was only one golden firefly.
[Please select a skill card.]
I stretched out my hand towards the only golden fire in this world.
[Selection completed.]
Got it.
[Copy the skill.]
And I died.

Do you know what hell looks like?
Let me tell you for you.
First of all, there was no hellfire. There was no ordinary fire. There was a gas stove, but it didn’t have enough power to create an inferno. ah. Surprisingly, there was even a small refrigerator in hell. Narrow bed too… Even a used television.
“uh.”
So, in short, it looks exactly like my living room.
No, it was just my room.
Even if you look around Amman, it is not hell. My 3.5 pyeong single room was very attractive due to the simple monthly rent.
“Uh, uhh… huh?”
I groped my head with one hand. It was fine. Just in case, I projected her face on the screen of my smartphone. It looks like he gave up halfway through making the Apollo statue. In other words, he is appropriately handsome and appropriately ugly.
There were no burn marks anywhere.
“···what? What happened?”
What really happened?
‘Could it be that the Flame Emperor treated him and brought him there?’
It was funny bullshit.
But… other than that, I can’t think of any other way to explain this situation. Maybe the Flame Emperor was nicer than I thought. He was crazy, but he wasn’t a crazy psychopath, so I didn’t know he was pretending to kill me but actually saved my life.
-This is breaking news.
So did Yan Emperor leave the TV on?
-The Black Dragon Guild set out to conquer the 40th floor of the tower.
-You were confident that you would show off the power of a top-tier guild this time, right?
-Unfortunately, I came back empty-handed again.
But no.
The Emperor was not in a single room measuring 3.5 pyeong. It wasn’t like I left the TV on and went somewhere for a moment.
instead.
-Hunter Ranking #1!
-The Flame Emperor defeated the boss alone this time!
Instead, the Flame Emperor was frowning on the television screen.
2.
-Hello, Flame Emperor!
-ah. yes. hello···.
-You set a new record today. So far, the only person who has defeated the boss monster on his own is Sword Saint and Flame Emperor. Now that the Sword Saint is missing, it is safe to say that the Flame Emperor is the only one. Can you please tell me your thoughts?
English words were written in capital letters in the corner of the broadcast screen.
LIVE.
I looked up at the old television blankly.
-First of all, I would like you to change that damn nickname.
-yes?
-Yeomje. Why do you call me a f*cking nickname over a normal name?
Suha Yoo.
The world’s number one ranked hunter. The protagonist of this era. The hero I was jealous of was there. Yes. Perhaps it would be inappropriate to simply say ‘there was’.
He killed me, and I died to him.
“Nonsense.”
Even as I said, “This doesn’t make sense,” my hand was already checking my smartphone. I looked at the date. It was yesterday’s date.
My hands were shaking.
I joined Internet communities.
-Hey, the Flame Emperor is shaking again!
Here too.
-In front of the whole world, can’t you be more reserved about what you say?
Over there too.
-The evil girlfriend has appeared! I’m dating a saint!
This site too. That community too. SNS too.
It was all the same. Likewise, the posts I saw yesterday were being uploaded in real time. Even though I clearly saw these posts yesterday, other people reacted as if they were seeing them for the first time.
“under···.”
Nevertheless, there was only one thing that changed.
-I also want to be like the Flame Emperor.
There was no comment written by me.
It was natural. Normally, around this time yesterday, I would have been actively writing comments, but now I was just lost in my thoughts.
I have truly returned to yesterday.
“···Skill card. open.”
Whoa!
A golden card bloomed like a firework before my eyes.
[I want to be like you (S+)]
This is a skill that I have already checked several times since yesterday and have memorized. Although it is S-rank, it is an ability that can never be used. A rare trash skill where the price of using the skill is your own death.
But that wasn’t everything.
“oh my god.”
two.
There were two flames burning in front of me.
[I want to be like you (S+)]
[Returner’s Wind-Up Clock (EX)]
Two golden cards were floating.
‘how?’
My heart was pounding.
The returner’s wind-up clock. It was a skill I had never seen before. It wasn’t there when I checked yesterday, and it wasn’t there until before the Flame Emperor killed him. I only had trash skills that I couldn’t use, and there wouldn’t have been any skills with names like that… or even golden skills.
‘What happened?’
I do not know.
How did that skill become mine? How did it become mine? I didn’t know. I still couldn’t understand.
step.
‘It’s mine.’
All I knew was that this card was mine.
‘Mine.’
And the fact that this is a card that might change my life.
I stretched out my hand and held the card.
Turned over.

return.
When you die, you go back 24 hours ago.
“ah···.”
My head trembled as if struck by lightning. Her heart was pounding.
I realized.
“This is the secret of the Flame Emperor…”
How did Emperor Yan become number one in the world?
How did you single-handedly defeat the boss on the 10th floor of the tower, which was impregnable?
Lastly, why was Emperor Yan so certain that ‘the saint would kill him’?
I finally realized it.
-The saint really tried to kill me.
-If you don’t kill him first, he will be poisoned by a saint tomorrow.
The Flame Emperor had said.
-I know everything.
-I just know everything. There is a way to know everything.
-There is no need for you to know what method it is.
He was actually killed by a saint.
As he said himself, he died of poisoning. Because he died, he regressed to 24 hours ago. And she repaid her saint by grinding her teeth.
For revenge.
‘And he killed me too.’
I clenched my fists.
‘I didn’t do anything wrong! Just because it’s annoying!’
cut off my foot It burned my brain. killed me I played with it like a bug.
The interview was still going on on the cheap television.
-Finally, please say something to the viewers!
-ha.
In response to the reporter’s question, Emperor Yan scratched the back of his head.
Yesterday I saw a hero in him. Now I was looking at a psychopath. It didn’t matter if he was number one in the world. It didn’t matter that he was a hunter who was praised as a hero by many people. He was my enemy.
The Flame Emperor glared directly at the camera.
-He will become that guy anyway.
I also glared directly at him.
-But don’t blame me even if you succeed later.
I held the golden card tightly. The same card as that man has. A skill I copied from the Flame Emperor. Emperor Yan was number one in the rankings and I was at the bottom of the rankings, not even in the rankings, but at this moment, the two of us were standing at the same starting line.
-Die.
Now it was my turn to get revenge.
