[270] Abel (2)
It wasn’t that I didn’t understand Abel’s words. My own existence that died and returned to the past. Every person he met had a scab stuck in his ear.
Seongmin Lee was silent. He returned to the past. I knew how this world would go over the next 13 years.
okay. In this world, only Lee Seong-min knew the future for 13 years.
In this way, Seongmin Lee became an observer of the future for the next 13 years.
However, Lee Seong-min did not live the same as in the past.
Lee Seong-min, who was a third-rate C-level mercenary, became an expert in the realm of transcendence. He met Weezy Hoyeon. Baek So-go, who should have died, was brought to life by Lee Seong-min. In addition, countless changes were made due to Lee Seong-min’s intervention.
In addition to Lee Seong-min’s direct intervention, many things would have changed because of Lee Seong-min.
The fate that should have flowed as I remembered, turned out differently because of Lee Seong-min.
Distortion and variables. And the 13 years of future that Lee Seong-min remembers came to an end. Lee Seong-min is 27 years old, and he has no idea what will happen in the future.
That is the end.
“… … Am I bringing about the apocalypse?”
“It is not ‘you’, but the returner who returns to the past that brings about the end.”
“then. What was the world like in my past life? Are you saying there was an end to that world as well?”
“Maybe so.”
There is no way to check for that. A stone from a past life. That’s because it appeared in the dungeon. What if someone else catches the past life stone and dies… … What if Lee Seong-min returned to the world he lived in in his past life? If so, another end may have come after the point remembered by the unknown observer.
“Should I have died?”
Lee Seong-min asked in a dazed voice. Abel told me the truth that no one had ever told me.
The existence of Lee Seong-min, who returned to the past, brought about the end of this world.
then? What would have happened if Lee Seong-min had died before? If Lee Seong-min had died first, wouldn’t the end have come?
“The protection of fate was protecting you. Before now, you were a body that couldn’t die even if you wanted to. “Is there anything you can point out?”
At that question, Lee Seong-min closed his mouth again. There are plenty of things to point out. Before he turned 27. In the 13 years since he was 14, Lee Seong-min has gone through various crises.
But none of them actually faced death. Fate saved Lee Seong-min from danger several times.
Even when he was almost killed by Frescan. After that, a black heart. There was a time when Sima Lianju intervened and saved Lee Seong-min.
“… … How have I been able to survive so far? Was it thanks to the blessings of fate?”
“Until you die. It was a being that had to survive until the time period you remember. Because the end begins when you reach a world you don’t know. But not in the future. Fate will no longer protect you. “The value of your existence disappears from the moment you reach this time zone.”
Abel muttered that and burst into laughter.
“That’s why my older brother is an asshole. Not wanting to face the fate of catastrophic death, he ran away and ended up getting caught up. He doesn’t know anything and he tried to kill you… … There was no way he could have been killed. “The reason I was protecting you was because it was the fate that my brother so desperately wanted to avoid.”
Abel muttered like that. After a moment of silence, Abel opened her mouth.
“This world is a strange place.”
Abel’s eyes narrowed.
“Aria. This world summons people from different dimensions every day. Martial Arts, Wizard, Science. But there is something missing among them. “What do you think that is?”
“science.”
“That’s right. Compared to martial arts and magic, the proportion of scientists among those summoned to Aeria is very small. Those we call no class. These people were called from a world where there is no martial arts and no magic. “They remember the civilization in which they lived, but they know very little about science.”
It was as he said. Seongmin Lee also lived in Korea in the 21st century. Although it was a long time ago, I remember it clearly. An airplane flying in the sky. automobile. train. Starting with that, weapons like guns.
“Eria does not invite people randomly. Think about it. Martial arts and magic are personal strengths. No matter how excellent a martial arts book or magic book you are, if your talent is not that great, it is impossible to learn it properly. Only selected geniuses can master them. But what about science? What technology was created by them? You don’t need great qualifications to write it. “As long as it’s completed.”
Abel seemed to be thirsty and drank the prepared tea in one gulp.
“Of course we do. By combining the absurd things I heard in their stories with magic, I am completing and developing them to some extent. The same goes for trains that run on horse power. The Wizard’s Guild is researching a machine called an ‘airplane’ that can carry many people and fly freely in the sky. I think that way the balance is struck. As high-level science and technology are replaced by magic. This world… … It’s that kind of world. “I am thinking.”
“Are you saying it was designed as a world where magic, martial arts, and science coexist?”
“exactly. They say that in a world where martial arts existed, magic barely existed. The same goes for magic. “In a world where magic prevails, high-level physical skills such as martial arts have barely developed.”
“… … Even in the world I lived in, magic and martial arts did not exist.”
Abel nodded his head again in response to Lee Seong-min’s answer.
“It is clear that someone is creating this world and summoning the right people from each dimension to this world. It is undoubtedly true that magic and martial arts and techniques are mixed and developed because of this. Although it is said that the technology side is greatly behind. “As the magic combines, it is developing in a completely different direction.”
“Martial arts of the old, one-and-done.”
Master Sima Lian opened his mouth.
“Even if it is a martial art from the same shaman faction and a sword with the same name. If we live in different dimensions, there are many differences even if we have the same sword. Even though it is a martial art created by the founder Jang Sam-bong, there are many differences. “Those martial arts skills are being reinterpreted and merged within the shaman faction of Eria.”
“It’s the same with magic. Even if it’s the same fireball, the detailed techniques and mana arrangement are different. The reason the Wizard’s Guild constantly recruits newly summoned wizards is how different their magic is from existing magic. This is to determine what is different and which is superior, and to further develop it. like… … “Don’t you think they are trying to use us living in this world to create martial arts and magic that are close to ‘perfect’?”
“Are we being farmed?”
“Maybe so.”
The air is heavy.
“… … “What is the end?”
Master Sima Lian opened his mouth.
“The end of the world? I don’t quite understand. The end was planned because that stupid disciple returned to the past? No, that’s not right. It must be that such an end was planned for this world from the beginning. Why is something like that planned?”
“I don’t even know what the end is. As long as there is an ‘apostle’ of the end, the end is… … Maybe that apostle will come down and kill everyone in this world. But this is just a guess. I don’t know how the end comes or why it exists. But I have no desire to die.”
Abel said with force. That was the end of Abel’s story. What is the end? Even Abel did not know everything about the exact details.
“… … Do you know about this?”
Seongmin Lee put his hand into his arms. What he took out was a golden key. As Abel tilted his head, Seongmin Lee explained the key.
I went into the dungeon where I got the stone from my previous life, and the moment I grabbed the stone, it turned into a key.
“… … “I don’t know what it is.”
Abel muttered, staring at the key. Because he had heard in advance that she was under a binding spell, Abel did not touch her key.
Abel used magic to detect the key.
“That doesn’t work.”
Abel muttered in an annoyed voice.
“It’s definitely an unusual item. “I don’t know what it is.”
Abel quickly gave up. Because he was so quick to give up, Lee Seong-min was a little embarrassed and asked a question.
“Why don’t you try more?”
“I am the greatest wizard in this world. “If I try and it doesn’t work, no wizard can figure out what it is, so he doesn’t need to use any more effort.”

Those were extremely arrogant words.
“Whatever. Ryeonju, I don’t want to die. So, we are resisting the end. “If possible, I hope Yeonju will help us.”
“Are we trying to form an alliance against an unknown end?”
“Isn’t it better than giving up and waiting?”
“That’s right.”
Sima Lianzhu nodded his head. He glanced at Lee Seong-min sitting next to him. Sa Beop-ju spoke to Lee Seong-min, who was chewing his lower lip.
“Don’t think like an idiot.”
“You don’t know what I’m thinking, do you?”
“I’m saying don’t blame yourself.”
Lee Seong-min was left speechless by the words he blurted out.
“It is said that you brought about the end of this world. That responsibility is not yours. Because you too were caught up in it. and… … “Your role will not be all about surviving until now and bringing about the end.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Osla would have told you. “You will have to make a choice at some point.”
surely. Osla, whom we met in the fairy forest, said those words to Lee Seong-min.
It’s a pitiful existence. And, he also told me to be faithful. Live each day faithfully so you don’t regret it later.
Osla had said about the Apostle of the Apocalypse that it was a long-standing promise. In other words, the end was decided a long time ago.
The end is the end.
The apostle of the end is one who carries out the end.
I am?
Osla had no answer to the question at that time. Because of that, Seongmin Lee had thought that he might be the apostle of the end.
That was true to some extent. Because Lee Seong-min has lived until now, this world has faced the fate of the end.
but.
Nothing has been decided yet.
Osla certainly said so. Mshi also said something similar to Osla.
Why did you come back?
Wasn’t there some mistake?
There is no such thing as coincidence in this world.
If you are returning to the past, there is a reason to return to the past.
If you come back, something will happen that makes you have to come back, and if you come back, you will have to prepare.
‘To become something worthy of the reason I came back.’
Abel had said. Now that this time zone has been reached, the value of Lee Sung-min’s existence has disappeared.
The value of Lee Seong-min’s existence was to live for more than 13 years and observe a world he did not know. However, Mshi and Osla had already told Seongmin Lee before.
‘It didn’t go away.’
Lee Seong-min chewed his lower lip. Yeah, he didn’t disappear. Lee Seong-min has yet to experience anything that warrants returning to the past.
I couldn’t even become a being worthy of the reason I came back. Nothing has been decided yet. I think back to what Osla said.
The saying that nothing is set in stone.
