A story about a max level player’s 100th return, Episode 20
20. The real Ryumin
‘where should we go?’
After thinking about it, Ryumin moved to the power of time.
It’s none other than Seo A-rin’s world line.
‘I’ll have to look for it step by step from here.’
I don’t know if there will be a host and a seed here too.
Maybe it hasn’t even appeared yet.
‘On the other hand, it could have been on the verge of collapse.’
However, the city of Seoul seen from the skyscraper looked no different from usual.
‘So this is Seo A-rin’s world line?’
Although each world line did not have a specific name, Ryu Min named it Seo A-rin’s world line.
It’s not that it’s not, because this was a world line that was created after Seo A-rin’s wish came true.
‘This is the world line where Seo A-rin’s wish was applied. Maybe I can meet myself.’
This is a world where the survival game has ended.
Although he has no parents, he and his younger siblings, Min-ri Min, Gyeong-rok Ma, Sang-cheol Ahn, Christine, etc.
This is a world where 97 players who survived the final round exist.
However, that didn’t mean the player had any power left.
‘This is where the players I saved exist. Maybe you’ll meet some familiar faces.’
I don’t know where they, including Seo A-rin, live and what they do, but the situation is currently dangerous.
Deorant was working to collapse the world line.
‘I don’t know what Seo A-rin’s wish is, but it doesn’t seem like much has changed.’
Ryu Min, who was looking down at the city of Seoul going by as usual, checked the date on the electronic display board.
‘Has it been about two years since the survival game ended?’
Clearly, time passes differently depending on the world line.
My younger brother’s world line ended not long ago, but two years have passed in this one.
‘Shall we look for it soon? First, we need to figure out the trends here.’
Ryu Min went to the PC room and looked up articles on the Internet.
If the host and Sid were already on a rampage, it would have been reported in the headlines.
As expected.
‘This is it.’
I saw an article that caught my eye.
[trot! Deaths continue to rise due to the monster that invaded the wedding hall… … .]
When I clicked on it, there was only one photo and simple information written down, as if to indicate that it was an urgent situation.
(Photo of the interior of the wedding hall out of focus)
On the afternoon of the 12th, actress Seo Ah-rin’s wedding ceremony held at a hotel in Seoul is being devastated by a monster. (Photo = Reporter Jo Min-jeong)
‘Wait a minute, this is Seo A-rin’s wedding?’
When I looked at the photo, it seemed like it was taken in a hurry and every minute seemed like an emergency.
Given the circumstances, it was clear that the host had done this.
‘I’m curious as to who Seo A-rin’s marriage partner is… … You’ll know once you get there.’
When I used the speed of light rune, the world around me slowed down.
After searching through all the hotels in Seoul, I was able to find one.
The scene of the wedding hall filled with screams and death.
‘It’s already over.’
Looking at the situation, I saw numerous corpses lying on the floor.
If he had come a little earlier, he could have saved the people.
‘It turned into a blood wedding.’
The guests were pitiful, but what about the feelings of those who were getting married?
This large-scale murder occurred on a day when I should have been happier than anyone else.
Ryumin, who was looking sadly at the corpses of the wedding guests, moved again in the stopped flow.
‘There it is.’
The sight of a man threatening someone while raising a black blade caught my eye.
‘Just looking at him, that guy is the host. I need to kill it quickly and go… … .’
But the face of the person being threatened looked familiar.
No, regardless of how familiar it is, it is the same as looking in a mirror.
‘This… … ‘It’s me, right?’
He passed out on the floor while wearing a suit.
And Seo Ah-rin, wearing a pure white dress that seems to embrace herself.
As soon as he saw the two, Ryu Min was able to satisfy his curiosity.
‘Seo A-rin… ‘She’s marrying me?’
Strictly speaking, he was from this world, but whatever it was, it couldn’t help but be shocking.
Because I never imagined marrying Seo A-rin.
‘Given my personality, I wouldn’t have proposed first… … Could it be that Seo A-rin’s wish is… … ?’
It was surprising, but whatever happened, it had nothing to do with me.
Ryumin here has his life here, and I just have my own life.
‘… … Just clean up the host and leave.’
When the speed of light rune was lifted, the slow flow of time returned to its original state.
When I take out a dark red scythe and cut off the host’s arm, he looks at me in surprise.

“Keeeeek!”
“Your opponent is me.”
“Don’t disturb me… … .”
I stretched out my hand as if there was nothing more to hear.
Let’s go!
The host’s body, hit by the high-voltage current, was completely charred.
The situation is over.
I briefly met Seo A-rin’s gaze as she looked up.
“ah… … .”
Her surprised eyes.
‘The dress suits you well.’
I wanted to say that, but Ryu Min disappeared without saying a word.
As if it had never been there to begin with.
* * *
“Ryu… min… ?”
Seo A-rin muttered and lowered her head.
I saw a man lying on his knees.
This is Ryumin.
My partner, with whom I had promised to marry.
‘Well, then who is that person?’
Seo A-rin raised her head.
Let’s go!
I made eye contact with the man who had burned Song Minhyuk to black.
“ah… … .”
It is not something to be dismissed as a similar person.
It is completely identical to the face of the person you love.
In the blink of an eye.
“uh?”
he disappeared
For a moment, I thought I had seen an illusion, but the result was right in front of my eyes.
The bodies of countless guests and the main culprit, the monster.
And even the appearance of Ryu Min losing his mind.
I wanted to dismiss it as a dream, but all of this was reality.
It actually happened, and it was a major event that would remain a disaster in his life.
“Well, first of all, let’s start with the ambulance… … !”
Seo A-rin’s finger quickly dialed 119.
* * *
-I am at the scene of actress Seo A-rin’s wedding that took place the day before yesterday. All kinds of tables are scattered around, as if telling the story of that terrible moment.
The media has been busy reporting the wedding incident.
The first major murder case ever to take place at a celebrity wedding.
There were 126 people who died, most of whom were in the entertainment industry and lost their lives in vain within a short period of time.
That made Seo A-rin sad.
‘I’m glad that my parents and Won weren’t hurt… … .’
A deep sigh escaped Seo A-rin’s mouth.
This is because Ryumin, his most important spouse, was in a vegetable state.
“Min-ah… How should I live now? Hmm… … .”
I held onto Ryumin’s hand as he lay motionless on the hospital bed.
I already cried profusely, but the tears started flowing again without any time to dry.
“I thought I might be a little happier now… … What on earth is going on? … .”
A monster appears out of nowhere at a wedding.
Where on earth did such a monster appear?
It wasn’t just Seo A-rin who couldn’t understand the situation.
CCTV footage was recorded, but people could not believe what they saw.
The scene where a person inflates his body and shoots toxic substances was like a scene from a movie.
‘It is a monster created by environmental pollution. He is an alien from outer space. Song Min-hyuk is actually a player with hidden strength, etc. There are a lot of inferences. but… … .’
What Seo A-rin was more curious about was a man who appeared holding a sickle.
‘If it wasn’t for him, Ryumin and I would have died.’
What bothers me is that the man’s face was identical to Ryumin’s.
Fortunately, his face did not appear on CCTV, but people were convinced.
└Huh? It’s a black scythe.
└Looking at the scythe, it is a black scythe.
└Didn’t the black scythe disappear two years ago?
└It’s not that they disappeared, but all the players lost their powers and became ordinary people.
└You said you became an ordinary person, but where did you get the sickle? How did you kill the monster again?
└I don’t know. I guess my strength came back.
Everyone thought that the Black Scythe had returned with its strength restored.
But Seo A-rin knows.
That it’s impossible.
‘Black Scythe, Ryumin is here…’ … .’
So who was the person you saw?
Could it be someone else pretending to be a black scythe?
Or another Ryumin?
I had endless questions, but right now I was more worried than that.
I was worried about my spouse.
“Min-ah… … I’ll come back tomorrow. “I’m doing my best.”
Seo A-rin left the hospital room, leaving behind a sad voice.
Watching a loved one suffer was harder than you could imagine.
And to become a vegetable with little chance of survival… … .
Drop- Drop-
Tears flowed from Seo A-rin’s eyes again as she stopped.
‘I thought nothing would flow anymore… … .’
Like a broken faucet, poetry flows constantly.
‘Min-ah. cheer up… . We must overcome this. We promised. To live happily… … .’
Without giving up hope yet, I got into Ahn Sang-cheol’s car.
“Where shall we go?”
“Please go home…” … .”
Manager Ahn Sang-cheol stepped on the accelerator.
Seo A-rin’s sad face was reflected outside the window.
* * *
Squeak-
“Im here.”
The place where Seo A-rin arrived was not Galleria Forest.
It was a three-story country house with a modern exterior.
This is a newlywed house that she bought to commemorate her new start with Ryu Min.
Although it has become useless now.
“Due to the situation, all schedules for a week were put on hold. Arin, please rest at home for a while and get your mind together.”
“Thank you, manager.”
“Then, I will come visit you tomorrow morning.”
“yes. Please go in carefully.”
Seo A-rin got out of the car, sent Ahn Sang-cheol away, and entered the house.
He said he would come visit me in the morning, but didn’t ask why.
‘He’s probably coming to see if I might starve.’
A lover was attacked by a monster on the day of her wedding and became a vegetable.
Let alone the happiness that was shattered in an instant, there was no way I could be sane.
You might think that you might lose food or drink or commit suicide.
‘no. I will never leave Min behind.’
I will protect Ryumin, who is in a vegetative state, by his side until he wakes up.
Even if you don’t wake up, you will be nursed for the rest of your life.
Because my wish to live happily with Ryumin has not yet come true.
widely-
After entering the house, Seo A-rin entered the room.
Since there is no one there, there is silence.
With some unknown loneliness.
“Huh… … .”
I was filled with emotions again.
That moment.
Sigh-
Surprised by the sound, Seo A-rin turned her head.
‘What do you mean?’
The sound of a door opening?
I got goosebumps when I thought there was someone in the house.
“Who, who is it?”
I deliberately tried to make noise by going out of the room.
There was no answer, and Seo A-rin headed to the kitchen.
It was to prepare weapons for fear of an unexpected situation.
Sereung-
The moment I picked up the kitchen knife, I saw a shadow cast.
I quickly turned my back and swung my sword.
widely!
I was caught in vain by the hands of a stranger.
“Hey, this is no…” … .”
Seo A-rin’s eyes widened as she was about to shout.
Because the being in front of me was something that shouldn’t be here.
“Ryu… Ryumin?”
“It’s been a while, Seo A-rin.”
Ryu Min, the man she thought was a stranger, took the kitchen knife from Seo A-rin’s hand and put it back in.
“Mi-Min, how did you, uh, get here…” … ?”
“I am telling you this in case you misunderstand, but I am not the Ryumin of this world. “The Ryumin of this world is still lying in a hospital room in a vegetative state.”
“what… … ?”
Ryumin of the 102nd world line took out a sickle as if to prove it.
Tsutsutsu!
A huge scythe popped out of the air and was caught in his grasp.
It was a player ability that an ordinary Ryumin of this world could never do.
“I am Ryumin from another world line. “This is the world line where Seo A-rin’s wish came true, right?”
“About wishes… … I know?”
“I know. “Because I saw Arin touching the wish stone at the last moment.”
Seo A-rin’s rabbit-like eyes grew even wider.
“Well, that means… … .”
“is it so.”
Ryumin in front of me put his scythe again.
“I am the real Ryumin, who lived and died with you.”
