A story about a max level player’s 100th return, Episode 31
31. Democracy’s world line
There was no sign.
But Ryumin felt it intuitively.
‘The world line… It collapses.’
I can’t explain it, but I felt it.
Maybe it’s because he has the power of time.
‘If I do something wrong, I get caught up in it too.’
It wasn’t just the Earth that disappeared.
The heavenly world and the demonic world.
Everything belonging to one dimension disappears.
The extinction of dimensions was beginning on Earth.
‘You must avoid it immediately.’
Ryu Min sensed this and quickly opened a gap in space and time.
I hid my body and after some time, I was able to find out through the power of time.
Ahn Sang-cheol’s world line has completely disappeared.
‘eventually… ‘You couldn’t protect it.’
We tried hard to protect it, but in the end we could not eliminate all the seeds.
‘Commander Sid must have given the order. ‘Start the collapse immediately.’
He was a surprisingly quick-witted guy.
They made such a bold decision because they thought they couldn’t stop it on their own.
‘I have no choice but to go to another world line.’
Ryumin suddenly found himself with nowhere to go and began looking for the next world line.
* * *
After her last relationship with a senior she dated during her internship, Min-ri Min no longer felt love.
Now that she has become an internal medicine specialist and is spending her days incredibly busy, she thought that the feeling of excitement was a luxury for her.
But no.
‘Min… … ‘You like me?’
Ryu Min’s unexpected confession reawakened Min Joo-ri’s love cells, which she thought were dead.
Min-ri Min had been out of her mind lately, to the point where she was completely lost at work.
“teacher? “Mr. Min?”
“Ah yes!”
“I think we will have to close early because there are so many patients waiting.”
“yes. Please.”
A private hospital that opened less than a year ago has become a hit.
The number of patients continued every day, and as the number of patients increased, Min-ri Min had no choice but to save time to go to the bathroom to see doctors.
‘I can’t handle this alone. ‘We need to find one more teacher.’
It was because I was busy with work, but there were other reasons as well.
Because I wanted to have some personal time.
[Ryu Min: It’s time to get off work, right? Should we just have chicken and beer outside??]
[Minjoo-ri: Uh… good.]
I debated whether or not to add an emoticon when writing a reply, but eventually decided against it.
‘You can’t show that you like it too much, Minjoo-ri. Losing control… … .’
34 years old.
An age where you can’t help but think about marriage.
Therefore, Min-ri Min did not want to hastily lead the relationship with Ryu-min.
Rather than casually dating, I wanted to meet on the premise of marriage.
So I had no choice but to be cautious.
‘That’s why I still haven’t accepted your confession… … .’
Just a few days ago.
Ryu Min confessed that he liked her first.
I didn’t show it, but at the time, I felt good, as if I had won a lottery.
I felt like I wanted to jump up and scream.
‘I want to confess that I like you too and that I have had a crush on you for a long time. but… … .’
Why is it that my mouth doesn’t fall off easily?
Why couldn’t I say ‘I like you too’ at that moment?
If that had been the case, our relationship would have developed into a confident relationship instead of just flirting like we do now… .
And I could have even looked at marriage… .
‘Is it because I have a sense of guilt in my heart…? ?’
Minjoo-ri made a wish.
I hope that my father will be happy.
And that wish actually came true.
The shoulders of the father of a doctor daughter were lifted, and the game of survival was over, so he no longer had to worry about his daughter’s life or death.
Every time I asked to see if my wish was applied correctly, my father said he was happy.
Now, I have said that I have nothing more to ask for once my daughter gets married, but… .
‘Maybe it was Sowon that made Min like me. If I were to say that my happiness is my father’s happiness… … .’
Originally, there were no feelings, but feelings may have arisen due to a wish.
It was something Min-ri Min wanted to do, but when the situation actually happened, she felt guilty.

‘I feel reluctant for some reason. It seems like you’re using your emotions… .’
Is it displeasure at having bought someone’s feelings with a wish?
For some reason, Min-ri Min felt uncomfortable accepting Ryu-min’s confession.
‘For now, let’s keep being friends like we are now. Even if it’s just like this, I’m happy.’
I decided to be satisfied with my friendship and met Ryumin at a pub.
Of course, Ryumin didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so.
“Juri. “Why are you pretending not to know?”
“huh? “What?”
“You heard what I said before. Why do not you answer?”
“W-I don’t know what you’re talking about. haha.”
Minjoo-ri, feeling thirsty, raised her glass of beer.
“I confessed. “You said you like it?”
I almost spewed out due to a deep fastball.
“Stop drinking and talk. “You don’t like me?”
“Uh, well, that’s good… summer solstice.”
“As a friend? Or as a member of the opposite s*x?”
“that… … .”
It couldn’t have been a truly difficult situation.
Even though I clearly have feelings for Ryu Min, I can’t give an easy answer, perhaps because of guilt.
“uh? Chi, chicken has arrived. Should I try it? “It must be really delicious, right?”
“… … .”
Min Min-ri eventually cleared up the situation by changing his stance.
No, I wanted to.
“Juri. “I’m serious now.”
“uh… ?”
Ryumin was more persistent than expected.
“We are now in our mid-30s. I’m at an age where I can’t help but think about marriage. So, if you’re being cautious, I understand. But we don’t have time anymore, do we? When are you going to date and when are you going to get married?”
“… … .”
“The sooner we age, the better. There are people around me who got married after only 3 months of dating. “We were in our late 20s and we got along so well that we scheduled the ceremony right away.”
Min Joo-ri just listened and sipped her beer, feeling thirsty again.
“I think we should also follow that example. “Honestly, I’ve known for a long time that you like me.”
“huh? Oh, you knew?”
“How could you not know? “I had an inner rune.”
“In my heart… Runes?”
“I’ll tell you everything now. Because the ability is gone now anyway. The Rune of the Inner Heart is… … .”
Minjoo-ri’s eyes widened like a rabbit as she listened.
It was a series of amazing stories.
‘With runes that read thoughts… You read my mind? From the past… … ?’
So doesn’t that mean you knew everything?
His first love was Ryu Min, and he had been worried about him for a long time.
“Juri. are you okay?”
“… … .”
Min Joo-ri could not bear to raise her face.
I suddenly felt naked.
“Sorry. I’m finally saying it now. At that time, I knew what you were feeling but I pretended not to know. “The important thing was to win the final round and get out of the survival game.”
“I did not know… I thought you knew… … .”
“Now that the player’s abilities are gone, I don’t know how you feel. But I can speak my mind clearly. “I have feelings for you.”
“Then maybe… … “Do you know about wishes?”
“huh? “A wish?”
“The room of wishes. I do not remember?”
“Room of wishes? Was there anything like that during the attack?”
I asked just in case, but I still didn’t know.
Ryumin doesn’t remember anything about Sowon.
‘Then I don’t know that the reason you like me is because of Sowon?’
I wanted to say that, but Min Joo-ri held back.
I didn’t want to break this relationship by telling the truth.
It would be a lie if he said that this situation of his first love liking him wasn’t sweet.
‘Well then, what do you say? What should I do now… … .’
Ryumin, as if he really needed to hear the answer, waited for Min-ri Min to speak with his eyes more serious than ever.
“Why is there no answer?”
“… … .”
“Is it because you’re still not sure about dating me? Or do you no longer feel the same way as before?”
“It’s not like that… … .”
“Other than that, what else is there to worry about?”
“… … .”
When there was still no answer, Ryu Min decided to take a hard line.
“I can’t do it. “I’ll wake up first.”
“huh… ?”
“I just want to get along well with you, but it looks like you don’t.”
“Oh, no. “I have feelings for you too!”
“Why can’t you answer?”
“please… Should I listen?”
“uh.”
Ryumin was firm.
“I want an answer by midnight today. “That way, we can decide whether to continue our relationship or not.”
“… … .”
“I’ll go first. If I don’t hear from you before midnight… … “I know you don’t have a heart.”
Ryumin finished paying in advance and left the pub that way.
“ha… … .”
A sigh naturally escaped Minjoo-ri’s mouth.
* * *
After leaving the pub.
Min-ri Min walked aimlessly through the night streets.
‘What do you say? Min wants to hear the answer… … .’
I was a little harsh, but I have no intention of blaming Ryumin.
The other person confessed, but the person who did not give an ambiguous answer and just walked the tightrope was none other than himself.
‘I understand you want to check. But I can’t tell you.’
You must give Ryumin an answer before midnight.
Otherwise, this relationship will break down.
‘I can’t help it. I have no choice but to tell everything honestly… … .’
There was also a wish room after the final round.
Also, by granting my wish, your memory was erased.
The fact that it was probably the power of wish that made you like me.
I decided to reveal everything.
Didn’t Ryu Min also reveal that he had an inner rune?
‘I’m asking you to meet me, even if it’s just on the phone. now.’
Min-ri Min, who was tapping her cell phone to send a text, stopped walking for a moment.
Jumble-jump-
I turned my head when I heard footsteps coming from behind.
Three men were walking this way.
Are we going in the same direction by chance?
That said, this is a deserted alley.
I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
‘I’m sure he’s not following me.’
Probably not, but I had a scary thought so I ran.
OK.
“f*ck you, get it!”
I didn’t believe it, but men were chasing me.
I was running around like crazy, but somehow I came across a dead wall.
“Hehehe, it’s a dead end?”
“Look at him jumping around.”
“You’re quick to notice.”
The men’s gaze was clearly directed at Minjoo-ri.
“What are you guys? I have some business to run… .”
“I was just passing by and saw you looked pretty and wanted to talk to you.”
“yes. In that sense, can you give me your number?”
The men approached one by one with a sly smile.
Ju-ri Min, sensing that his intentions were impure, took out a self-defense spray from his pocket.
“Don’t come any closer!”
“What is that? spray?”
“Oh my, you’re so scared. Are you afraid to get close? “Tsk tsk tsk tsk.”
“Let’s knock him out quickly and put him in the car. “Because there’s no benefit in wasting time.”
“That’s right.”
The eyes of the men who were mocking them turned sinister.
Even though there was spray, instead of being scared, I tried to strengthen my grip as I watched them narrow the distance.
Tuk-
“Aaaah!”
Something fell to the floor and a man grabbed it by the shoulder.
“what’s the matter? omg… !”
“f*ck, what, what?”
What fell was the man’s arm.
While I was panicking, two other people also experienced the same thing.
Suddenly! Suddenly!
“Ahh!”
“Kwaaak!”
All three were cut off cleanly from the shoulder, leaving them one-armed.
Soon, a shadow holding a sickle appeared in front of them who had lost their arms.
“If you don’t want to die, get out.”
“Ugh, wow!”
Facing the messenger, they ran away without even thinking about taking care of their severed arm.
Min-ri Min also wanted to run away, but was unable to take any steps due to fear.
“Minju-ri.”
“… … !”
Min Joo-ri’s trembling stopped at the familiar voice she heard for a moment.
“Don’t be scared. Because it’s me.”
An opponent who appears from the shadows.
He was none other than Ryumin.
