Episode 14 of the 100th return of a max level player
14. Ma Gyeong-rok’s wish
Ma Gyeong-rok opened his eyes immediately after entering Sowon’s room.
‘Where am I?’
I don’t know how long I was unconscious.
I’m just curious about where this place is.
The answer came from the system.
[hello. Welcome to the room of wishes.]
[If you have any questions, please ask.]
[It doesn’t matter whether you ask in your mind or out loud. I will answer you with all my sincerity.]
It was a natural step for Ma Gyeong-rok to open his eyes.
‘wish? Come to think of it… … .’
There was a saying that if you conquer all 20 rounds, your wish will be granted.
And the round you conquered… … .
‘How far did it go… … ?’
Was it 10 rounds?
I don’t remember very well.
At that moment, the words of the system came to mind.
‘I told you to ask anything if you have any questions, right? Then, do you want to answer this as well?’
Ma Gyeong-rok asked what he was most curious about at the moment.
“Did I beat the round?”
[That’s right. Player ‘Cheonma’ touched the wish stone after passing the 20th round and the final round. Because of that, I was able to enter the room of wishes.]
‘You came here after winning the final round?’
It seems that Black Scythe and his companions were successful in the end.
If you see that you are in the room of wishes.
‘But why don’t I remember anything? I don’t even remember touching a wish stone or anything, let alone the final round.’
[It is believed that the player in question has memory loss due to the current system phenomenon.]
“A phenomenon of the system? Speak in an easy-to-understand way.”
[After examining the records, I found traces of being affected by the rune effect of fascination. The starting point is after round 10.]
“Rune of fascination?”
[This is a rune that can deceive people of the opposite s*x and permanently control their minds. Currently, the effect has been removed due to entering the wish room.]
Ma Gyeong-rok, who learned the truth, could not help but be shocked.
‘I… … ‘You said you were mind controlled?’
Looking at the situation, it seems like I was attacked by a player with a rune of fascination without my knowledge.
“Who did it to? I?”
[There is a record of being dominated by a player named ‘Yamti’.]
Come to think of it, one of Black Scythe’s colleagues was a player named Yamti.
‘You were hit by that bitch? I?’
It looks like he has been used like a puppet all this time.
‘Ha, this is ridiculous. So my memory stopped at round 10?’
Ma Gyeong-rok tried to recall his last memory.
‘That time… … Yes, I was at work.’
I remember meeting Ryu Min, who was the majority shareholder.
After that, a woman came in.
‘I understand now. That woman was Yamti. She holds the rune of enchantment.’
The person who brought the woman was none other than Ryumin, Black Scythe.
I vaguely remember the woman pointing to the black scythe and saying, “Master.”
‘No way, the black scythe betrayed…’ … ?’
I wasn’t sure if it was Yamti’s arbitrary action or not, but I was certain that the black scythe was involved.
‘Damn it. I have to get revenge on that guy… … .’
[That is impossible.]
The system that read other people’s thoughts arbitrarily gave its own answer.
[Immediately after entering the Wish Room, the current world line was completely separated. The world line you return to after your wish is fulfilled is a new world line, so returning to the original world line and taking revenge is virtually impossible.]
“What are you talking about? “I told you to explain it in an easy-to-understand way, right?”
Ma Gyeong-rok soon heard an explanation about the world line.
When I heard it, it was simple.
Once their wishes come true, they become trapped in their own world lines.
As if opening a new document window.
‘Are you saying that in that document window, each person writes down their story of having their wish come true?’
It wasn’t difficult to understand.
It’s just hard to accept.
‘damn. Even though I know the whole situation, I can’t get revenge on the black scythe… … .’
I knew right away that the black scythe was clever, but who would have thought it would hit me in the back like this?
[Tell us your wish. Then, we will create a new world line with the wish applied.]
Ma Gyeong-rok fell into deep thought as the system urged him to make a wish.
‘wish? ‘What was my wish?’
It was something I had no choice but to worry about.
Because he had achieved wealth and fame, he had almost no wishes.

‘I won the battle for successor. The position of chairman has already been confirmed.’
So there is no need for money and fame.
‘I have no desire to become friends with my estranged brothers anymore.’
Restoring his relationship with his family was also not what he hoped for.
‘I don’t want to change Christine’s mind, who already likes the black scythe.’
Love was also just an insignificant emotion in his life.
So what should you wish for?
‘Shall I ask you to remove the malice within me?’
impulse to kill.
If you get rid of it, you won’t have to live your whole life killing people.
You can live a normal life like everyone else without suffering from insomnia.
but.
‘I don’t want to do that.’
I had no desire to suppress my impulses.
‘Why cut off something so good?’
Since he had already tasted the pleasure of killing, he could not find a reason to stop it.
[Please tell us your wish.]
Hearing the voice of the system again, Ma Gyeong-rok made a decision.
“My wish is… … .”
* * *
Ma Gyeong-rok opened his eyes and looked around.
It was a hotel room like any other.
Soon after, his limb, Ahn Sang-cheol, opened the door and came running towards him.
“CEO!”
“Chief Ahn.”
“at las… … It’s finally over! “We did it!”
“is it?”
Ma Gyeong-rok with a calm expression.
However, Ahn Sang-cheol did not express any doubts.
I know that you are someone who doesn’t normally express your emotions very well.
‘I’m sure you’ll be happy.’
However, contrary to Ahn Sang-cheol’s thoughts, Ma Gyeong-rok was not very happy.
This world is a new world line created.
In other words, because it was fake.
* * *
Even though it was a new world, it was completely the same as the previous world.
The difference is that players do not remember the Wish Room.
To be precise, they don’t know that wishes are granted.
‘I’m the only one who has become a strange person.’
When I visited the surviving players and told them about their wish, they all responded that it was their first time hearing this, so it felt strange.
‘But it’s not my place to say anything. ‘I don’t remember either.’
I have no memory after round 10.
Even though it is clear that he must have gone through many hardships and hardships to get this far.
‘Are you saying this is all because of the black scythe?’
Even though he aimed his boiling anger at the black scythe, it just looked at him with bewildered eyes.
“Why are you doing this? Representative Ma?”
“no.”
“But why do I want to see you…” … .”
“I want to ask you a few things.”
“What do you have to ask? “I’m no longer a prophet or anything.”
Black Scythe, who led the way until the 10th round and dominated the rounds, is now reduced to an ordinary person.
Maybe because I knew that, I didn’t feel the same force or fear as before.
I can only feel anger towards that guy.
‘Does this guy really remember ruling with the Rune of Enchantment?’
This was what Ma Gyeong-rok was curious about.
Only the memory of the wish has been erased, but wouldn’t it be possible to remember other parts?
With that in mind, I called you here.
“After 10 rounds. “You came to see me then, right?”
“10 rounds? well. Well, didn’t you come here every time? “Because I was the majority shareholder.”
“Yes. But think about it carefully. “I remember she came with a woman at that time.”
Ma Gyeong-rok kept a close eye on Ryu Min as he spoke.
To find out for sure if you’re lying.
Fortunately, Ryumin seemed to remember what happened back then.
If you look at the momentary flinching of your shoulders.
“Oh, you mean back then? I remember. “I came with a woman named Kim Ye-dam.”
“Kim Ye-dam?”
“You were a player with me, don’t you remember?”
“Are you talking about Yamti?”
“Oh, you remember.”
Ma Gyeong-rok tugged at the corners of his mouth at Ryu Min’s words.
This made it clear.
‘As expected, these two were part of the same team.’
Ryu Min was also right in controlling his mind.
“Why did you come then?”
“It’s nothing to worry about. “I just came to introduce you to a colleague.”
Ryumin, unaware that everything had been revealed, lied with a shameless face.
For Ma Gyeong-rok, it was just astounding.
‘Don’t be funny. Wasn’t she the woman brought here to mind control me?’
I wanted to push it that hard, but nothing would change.
There is no evidence anymore, and this is a new world line that is a copy of the previous world.
I couldn’t be sure that the Ryumin here and the Ryumin back then were the same.
‘All the players here are fake. It’s no different from an NPC that spits out certain words. The real one will be touching the wish stone and living in a new world line with his wish fulfilled.’
Any further questions are meaningless.
Based on that judgment, Ma Gyeong-rok gave up his revenge and bit Ryu Min.
I didn’t want to talk to him anymore.
That may have been the same for Ryumin, and he never came to visit after that.
* * *
Ma Gyeong-rok was the only successor to the Ohseong Group.
He was the only one in the group to survive past 20 rounds and into the final round.
‘The brothers are dead.’
I thought it was alive, but it wasn’t.
I don’t remember what happened after the 10th round, but I was certain I was dead.
They said they already had a funeral.
‘Good. They were already useless people. Thanks to you, I think my wish came true.’
After much thought, the wish Ma Gyeong-rok came up with was no different.
Receiving recognition from Ma Dae-cheol, the group’s representative and father.
I didn’t know if I would be recognized even if I became the successor, so I made a sure wish.
Other than this, I didn’t really want anything else.
‘I am proud that I have worked hard so as not to disappoint my father’s expectations. And now.’
Ma Dae-cheol was smiling brightly, as if he lived up to expectations.
Looking at himself with a look of great pride.
Considering my father’s blunt personality, it was truly a surprising change.
Especially the most surprising thing.
“Gyeongrok.”
“… … !”
The point was that they were called by their first names in a public setting, such as a company.
“Now that there is no Gyeongsang or Gyeongsoo, you are the only bloodline of the family. “He is also the only successor.”
“You mean the heir?”
“okay. I don’t know how hard you’ve worked so hard. I just pretended not to know so that I could become stronger. Aren’t weeds that can withstand wind and rain more deeply rooted than plants in a greenhouse? I wanted you to become stronger. In this way, I hoped to proudly prove my qualifications as a successor.”
The chairman, or rather the father, got up from his chair, approached Ma Gyeong-rok, and suddenly hugged him tightly.
“You have proven yourself well. “Now I can leave the group to you with peace of mind.”
“Are you really giving it to me?”
“then. “I have only one son. Who would I give it to if not you?”
My heart was pounding.
Is this what it feels like to be approved by your father?
A deep smile appeared on the lips of Ma Gyeong-rok, who had his wish fulfilled.
* * *
Ma Gyeong-rok, who was recognized as the group’s successor, has since withdrawn from Cheonma Consulting.
He took over the shares of the group and took part in management in earnest.
“You told me to do it like this here. “Do you think what I’m saying doesn’t make sense?”
“I’m sorry, Director Ma.”
Ma Gyeong-rok, who became a director, took control of the company by playing the role of a tough boss.
Because I knew from experience that only by doing this could I run the company without looking down on myself.
‘If you take care of the following things, the company’s problems can be resolved… … .’
The desire to kill could never be resolved.
‘Did I wish this wrong? ‘I just can’t stand it.’
Three months without committing a murder.
A series of tiring days, suffering from insomnia every day.
Ma Gyeong-rok could not bear it any longer.
‘I can’t do this. ‘I’ll do it today.’
Ma Gyeong-rok, unable to resist his desire, called his limbs.
* * *
“Chief Ahn.”
“yes.”
“Are you ready?”
“ah… … yes.”
Ahn Sang-cheol’s answer is not clear.
Something is strange.
“Is there a problem?”
“Oh, no.”
“Who did you catch today? Are you a violent criminal or a petty criminal?”
“… … “You will know when you see it.”
Ahn Sang-cheol said so and led Ma Gyeong-rok to the warehouse.
Late morning.
As soon as I open the warehouse door, moonlight seeps in.
Ma Gyeong-rok, who was looking at the criminal’s silhouette, was about to pull out his knife.
‘huh?’
The criminal, who was expected to be tied up as usual, is sitting on a chair.
Then, didn’t he suddenly get up and come towards me?
“Chief Ahn. Why didn’t you tie it up… … .”
“Gyeongrok.”
Ma Gyeong-rok was startled by the deep, low-pitched voice.
“Oh, father?”
The person in front of me was not a criminal, but my father, Ma Dae-cheol.
Confusion appeared in Ma Gyeong-rok’s eyes.
‘Did Director Ahn betray me?’
With that thought in mind, I immediately shot Ahn Sang-cheol, but my father spoke faster than me.
“There’s nothing to blame Sangcheol. “They all prepared this place for you.”
“father. I misunderstood something… … .”
“There is no excuse. “I’ve already heard everything.”
Ma Dae-cheol said and placed his hand on Ma Gyeong-rok’s shoulder.
“It must have been very difficult.”
“… … .”
His father’s words pierced Ma Gyeong-rok’s heart.
I felt that the malice that I had been hiding for so long was fading away.
“I’m sorry for not knowing until now. She became a father and didn’t even know that her son had this disease… … .”
Ma Dae-cheol sighed and apologized sincerely.
“If such a desire arises, let’s solve it together with me. Don’t hide anymore. “I will help you.”
“Ah, father… … .”
On this day, Ma Gyeong-rok felt it.
That his wish had truly come true.
