Episode 397 < Me and your world. (2) >
2.
[Key modeling completed.]
[Floor 99 is cleared.]
The flower field was greatly divided.
[Enter on the 100th floor.]
Something rose up from deep within the cracked flower field.
It was a huge mirror.
It was too big to reflect a person. It was of a mythical size, enough to reflect an entire corps being inspected. The edges were irregular and had crystals protruding from them, and the sides were an eerie, sombre purple color on both the front and back.
The mirror that stood between me and the Geomje like a barrier in hell had nine keyholes.
[Please insert the key.]
I raised my head. I walked slowly and stood in front of the keyholes.
Although a mirror is different from glass and cannot reflect what is beyond it, I somehow knew that Geomje was making the same movements as me on the other side.
[The first key to the shadow you cast and those who breathe within it]
I looked into the first keyhole.
+
What kind of person were you?
Was he a strong person? Was he a lovely person? Was he a beautiful person? Was he a pitiful person?
+
I took out the key and inserted it into the first hole.
“I was someone you could depend on.”
The Geomje’s voice was heard from across the room.
“I was a person who wanted to wait.”
A clanking sound rang out at the same time.
The brightness and saturation of the mirror have gone up one level.
The vivid purple mirror was thinking of the next question.
+
[Second key by those who decide to follow in your footsteps]
What were the apostles to you?
Was it a tool? Were you lovers? Was it family?
+
I inserted the second key.
“My apostles were my equal friends.”
Likewise, the Geomje’s answer was heard from the other side.
“My apostles were like my younger brothers.”
The brightness of the mirror fluctuated once more.
+
[The third key by the gods who faced you]
What was God to you?
+
“People who let their guard down and make mistakes, so of course they can improve.”
“Those who think I would have been like that if I had lived without meeting Master.”
The fourth and fifth keys were inserted one after another.
“Honestly, I regretted it a little bit. It was a pity. If only I had been there. If only he hadn’t climbed the tower and at least stayed until the gray spider was given some sort of ending. “I could have done something more.”
“Well, that’s fine. I don’t think so. Just like you once said about the first wave, Gray lived where he wanted to live. The guy who was my 94th floor key was the same in that sense. “Those who do not blame others are those who walk completely on their own feet and do not naturally rely on others’ shoulders.”
“I was happy that the story about me was spreading. And I was scared. There were people who gave meaning to every aspect of my life that even I didn’t know about. I’m not talking about malicious distortion here. I’m not even talking about misunderstanding. “I realized that I, who thought I was in complete control and under control, was in fact not like that at all.”
“Becoming a myth goes much further than just being a story. People don’t fight about things like whether the nice guy next door has hemorrhoids or athlete’s foot. But if the guy is bald, and if the people he’s talking about like bald people, then the story gets a little complicated from here on. People fight just as much for those they like and respect as to exclude those they dislike and despise. And being the cause of war is such a mess.”
Crunch, clank.
The task of inserting the phrases that came to mind and the corresponding keys had already become a question and answer between me and Geomje, with a mirror in between.
“I felt I was not alone. Topju was probably with me the whole time. “From the moment I entered the tower until then.”
“yes. And you’re probably still watching it now. Hey kid, are you watching? “We’re going there soon~”
“… … Oh, kinda. hmm. Anyway, I thought that if they were going to look at me like that, I should have saved them sooner. Just like when I first met Tapju and heard about his ideology. But if you think about it again, let’s think about the other world lines that Mutia showed us. “For someone to get an opportunity means depriving someone else of the opportunity they could have had.”
“Hmm.”
“Even if someone doesn’t even know that it was a possibility for them, only the person who turned back time will vaguely feel it. Even if you don’t feel it, you can’t help but have doubts. Is this really the best? Was this really the best path for everyone, truly from an eternal standpoint?”
“Zombie, can you hear me? The screams of countless victims created every time you turn back time. “The sound of the footsteps of the avenger, who lost everything due to the butterfly effect because you acted like that that day, is walking towards you.”
“Doing everything is the same as doing nothing. Top owner decided to take care of everything by doing nothing. On the other hand, I decided to do something and bear all the causal effects that were changed due to what I did. “If there is someone who blames me for that, it will be a burden I have to bear.”
“That is so arrogant. I know what you’re thinking, but… .”
“Then what are you going to do, Geomje? “If you could regress, would you?”
“If you go back, won’t you have something to regret?”
Crunch.
“no. It usually appears larger. That regret can be resolved somehow, but soon an even bigger regret blocks the way. “It keeps repeating itself.”
“Conversely, wouldn’t something like that happen if I just lived my life?”
Crunch.
“indeed. surely.”
“okay. “Whether you regress or not, the end result is the same.”
Crunch.
“No matter what, it’s still a little bit the same.”
“To people who can’t run, runners must seem like they have special abilities. To those who can’t travel through time, the returner will seem like a monster. But no matter what, in the end we are all the same person.”

“It reminds me of what the pharmacist said. But isn’t that really arrogant? “The pharmacist was also a person whose arrogance got him nowhere.”
“Being able to do something means being able to die from it. People who can do things other people can’t suffer in ways that most people don’t. In that respect, the world is fair.”
Crunch.
“Geomje nobleman.”
“For example, you probably still wish you could have saved your teacher, right?”
…….
“No matter how much you say [the first wave went where it wanted to go]. Even if you are completely convinced by it, don’t you have to convince yourself again every morning when you wake up? Don’t say no. “I have been watching you fall asleep and wake up.”
“That is correct.”
I sighed.
Before I knew it, the mirror had become almost transparent. No matter how transparent the mirror was, it couldn’t reflect beyond it, so I couldn’t see the Geomje. I just saw myself reflected in the mirror.
“Every morning I wake up, I worry.”
“hmm.”
“Every time I feel like the wind is a bit cold today. The three of us, Bambolina and Doksarang, bought and ate ice cream on the street and while walking, we saw peony flowers at a flower shop. “I think about how great it would be if Master were alive right now, and in fact, I wonder if we could save him right now.”
“know.”
“In the end, I decided not to do that. I also think that this is the way to truly serve the Master. But when I sleep again and wake up, I feel this way again. [But in the end, dead people can’t hope for anything. But is it really the best way for that person to just leave him for dead? “Isn’t that my own self-satisfaction?]”
“know.”
“[If I bring Master back to life, Master will not forgive me. But isn’t that really a problem that ends with me suffering? In the end, I think that’s just scary.]”
If you’re alive, if you’re alive, wouldn’t it be possible for Master to be happy again someday?
“In front of Master’s grave… “I thought of the nine worlds in front of that red peony flower while I was bowing.”
“…….”
“It’s two-fold. It’s contradictory. It’s so ugly and pathetic. “There will probably never be a day in my life when those worries will go away.”
“On the contrary, it will only increase as the days go by. “You also mentioned it earlier, but from now on, every time you wake up, you will think about the gray spider again.”
“Yes.”
“boy.”
I looked through the keyhole in the mirror.
There was now only one hole left… I quietly looked through the keyhole… It was then.
With a bang, the tip of the sword protruded from the keyhole.
“…….”
I knew that knife. It was too large to be a sword, and it was the sword used by the Geomje.
The huge blade, reminiscent of a sunfish, was twisted at an angle. The thin mirror cracked, as if reading the atmosphere, and crumbled like sugar.
There was a Geomje in the falling purple glass snow.
The Geomje spoke while pointing the tip of his sword at me.
“Who sat there with the mindset that they might not be demons?”
“You are indifferent, as befits your political faction.”
“This body is supposed to be cool. “When I see this guy being so cool and flustered, I want to break his head.”
“Is that possible?”
“It’s finally become possible now.”
Even though the mirror collapsed, the ninth keyhole was still there. The Sword Emperor’s sword stuck there was also the same.
Geomje was smiling as brightly as the unfolding flower field.
“Let’s have a blast.”
“…….”
I am.
“Is that necessary?”
“I don’t need much. “I need you.”
…….
“I am. “I was impressed by you from a fairly early stage.”
“I do have some pretty amazing talent.”
“okay. It was so bad that even if I mixed it with bleach, the wrinkles wouldn’t go away. Even if it’s full of wrinkles. “There’s something I really admired about you.”
Geomje smiled and continued speaking.
“You memorialized those children.”
10th floor.
What he said and what I did passed before my eyes.
“That was an idea I hadn’t thought of. And if you hadn’t shown me, it would have been a way I couldn’t have imagined. Do you know what I felt when I saw that?”
“What did you feel?”
“[ah. Was this what my teacher did when he saw me?]”
I tilted my head, unable to understand what was happening. But after a while, he raised his head in surprise.
There was an expression on the Geomje’s face that was familiar to me, but one that I could not have imagined.
“I was angry.”
This was the first time I realized that this man was capable of making such facial expressions.
The Geomje smiled broadly again. However, resentment still lingered in that smile like a lingering scent.
“But if you can do it, I can do something similar.”
“Geomje nobleman.”
“I’m best at using a knife, so if I’m going to do it, shouldn’t I use a knife?”
The Geomje lifted the tip of his sword.
“come. “I will pray for you.”
I didn’t know what to say, so I just said it.
“The ghost was you.”
“Not anymore. And if I tell you I’m comforting you, you’ll get goosebumps.”
“What if it grows a little bit?” .”
“Confucius, from now on I will comfort you… .”
“Aaaah!! Absolutely chicken!!”
“I warned you.”
“shit… .”
The wind blew.
Unknown flower petals suddenly fluttered.
There, beyond the broken mirror, across from the ninth keyhole, the Geomje was speaking.
“My nickname is Geomje (劍帝). A sword forged at the bottom of the Taeeum Cave, a disciple of Taeyangjinin and one who inherited the spirit of the righteous sect. Therefore, he was recognized as the best person in the world in the world called the World of Ten Thousand Swords.”
Geomje.
Origin, Mangum World.
The greatest person in the world.
Right faction.
“Please help me.”
I am.
I remembered what kind of expression I was making in the mirror before it broke. The face was so pathetic that the Geomje wanted to hit him.
That won’t be the case now. No, maybe more so. Honestly, I don’t know. I tried to laugh.
It didn’t work out.
People want to cry not only when they are sad, but also when they are happy.
“My tinnitus is the sky that gathers screams. As the person who will be in charge of the underworld of this tower in the future, his other nickname is Myeongcheon. Ivansia’s moon. The white lion of the lion world and the guardian deity of Asuras. The legitimate leader of the Demonic Cult who inherited the Heavenly Demon’s dharma tradition… .”
No.
I corrected myself.
“He is the leader of the Demonic Cult.”
Myeongcheonma (命天魔).
Origin, the world of lions.
The best person on earth.
Demonic religion.
“We can do our best.
Non-Muslim.
Commencement.
