Chapter 371
As the saying goes, witches love knowledge, Shin Ha-yoon read books since childhood. In the huge library of the Shin-O family, there was not a single book that Shin Ha-yoon had not read.
Of course, the book Shin Ha-yoon picked as the best among them was always the same.
The first sentence of the book starts like this, like a story made for a child to read, even though it is written in an ancient language that scholars can read
.
[Morgan was born as the first princess of a rich kingdom. The people were delighted with her birth and did not hesitate to bless her.]
The experience of transcendence makes a witch.
However, since most of the triggers are catalysts for misfortune, Morgan, who was born as a princess of a country, was a very unique case among the witches of disaster.
[Morgan’s talent is really outstanding. At the age of 5, she handled mana comparable to wizards and had knowledge that even the kingdom’s tacticians could admire.] Inheriting the talents of her father, who was a competent king, and her mother, the best mage in the Mage Tower, Morgan is terrifyingly fast
. has grown
At the age of 7, he was better at handling mana than a royal wizard, and his strategy was unmatched.
Receiving the favor of not only the king, but the entire kingdom, he became stronger as if drinking elixirs and elixirs like water.
At the age of 11, assassins from competing kingdoms invaded to keep such Morgan in check. However, they were all killed by Morgan, who handled it leisurely as if he had seen through everything.
The people praised such an extraordinary anecdote of Morgan as a hero, but it was a strange thing. To say that a veteran assassin who had assassinated numerous knights so far was massacred was not an area to discuss talent. It was beyond common sense.
[The kingdom praised Morgan as a messenger of God, but the queen didn’t think so. As the best wizard in the kingdom, she was suspicious of her daughter.]
Her mother, who was a queen, was the only competent person Morgan recognized. However, even such a mother did not realize what Morgan’s true nature was and how he was able to become so strong until the moment his life ended.
‘No one ever found out. The secret that made me stronger.’
Shin Ha-yoon laughed at the long-awaited memory. Morgan had the power of dreams even before she transcended and became a witch.
How Morgan used that power was also not recorded in the old books.
The only one in the world who knows the truth about witch Morgan is Shin Ha-yoon.
‘I couldn’t even imagine. My strength is simply because I repeated countless simulations.’
The first target of Morgan’s dream power was himself, not someone else. The advanced simulation, which realized all five senses with Morgan’s abilities, was no different from reality.
It was a daunting test in which every problem had to be solved alone, but the data was infinite.
If you want to practice magic, you have to calculate mana in the virtual simulation you created.
If the assassins were to ambush, they would have to simulate hundreds of times until they came up with a process that would allow them to win.
Morgan’s understanding increased without consuming mana, and he was able to defeat his opponent without any damage.
The only problem was that Morgan had no power to control the ability that had become a habit.
This was not a free blessing.
Morgan repeated the simulation dozens of times for the simple act of drinking water.
On some days, I even had the illusion that time had stopped because I repeated even breathing.
But the hardest thing was the day when I repeated the imagination of sleeping several times.
I thought I had slept well for 10 hours, but the actual time was the same. The tired body was the same.
The boundary between imagination and reality was gradually blurring, and cracks were forming in the world of dreams and spirit.
Of course, it was only Morgan’s imagination, but it was not actually happening, but it was piled up in her head in the name of memory.
On the day of her 18th birthday, Morgan thought. Time is relative. In reality, only 18 years have passed, but how much time have you experienced through your own experience?
50 years? 100 years? No, the time Morgan had already gone through was not a number that could be played with numbers.
It wasn’t a year or a month or a week or a day that Morgan repeated. Morgan was repeating the scene of life moment by moment.
An ordinary human being would have gone mad long ago in the increasingly long days and repeated moments.
[The day Morgan turned 18. The kingdom realized Morgan’s identity belatedly! In fact, Morgan was a witch of disaster who hid her identity!]
So, this is incorrect.
Morgan did not hide his identity. It was just that he was ‘chosen’ without even knowing it as an experience that transcended human beings.
What is truly fortunate is that after becoming a dreamy witch, Shin Ha-yoon felt comfortable, not bored, in a repetitive world. I came to know the beauty of a refined world rather than the chaos of an irregular world.
‘Why don’t I know?’
The beauty of a perfectly controlled world A sculpture-like world that flows like interlocking gears according to the intentions of just one person. It was the utopia that Morgan, not Shin Ha-yoon, had long dreamed of.
“…Lee Hyuk. Do you know what I’m about to do?”
At Shin Ha-yoon’s low question, Lee Hyuk gave a glimpse of a smile.
“For sure. It would go against the common sense of the world. …Hayoon. It must be turning everyone into enemies in order to achieve your wish.”
If it was simply a business relationship, he would never have helped, but Lee Hyuk helped Shin Ha-yoon. Despite vaguely predicting all these situations, he helped Shin Ha-yoon.
“Why did you help me knowing that?”
This was a very difficult question to answer. There was no reason to help Shin Ha-yoon while taking such a dangerous risk. No matter what Shin Ha-yoon promised or dreamed of, it was already out of calculation.
However, Lee Hyuk explained everything with this one word.
“Originally, humans are irrational animals.”
“It’s fun. Can you tell me more?”
Lee Hyuk’s following of Shin Ha-yoon was the result of pursuing rationality and reason, but his current actions were not rational.
“At first, Hayun just admired you. I knew my limits, so being number two was enough.”
“so?”
What did he expect? Lee Hyuk lost his strength at Shin Ha-yoon’s expression of interest.
“Then I fell in love with you. Because you took care of things I could not have imagined as if it was easy and you were relaxed at any moment.”
Lee Hyuk looked at Shin Ha-yoon.
Shin Ha-yoon looked at herself, but somehow felt empty. Shin Ha-yoon, who was not at the level of insensitivity, did not seem to treat himself as an equal human being.
Even Lee Hyuk’s candid state of mind, who had only assisted Shin Ha-yoon for a year, was just a fun pastime to Shin Ha-yoon.
“Of course not now.”
However, Lee Hyuk had no choice but to admit it. This is Shin Ha-yoon, and he liked Shin Ha-yoon.
“I just thought I should be the only one on your side. …You won’t get lonely, but I still wanted to understand you as much as I did.”
At Lee Hyuk’s calm reaction, Shin Ha-yoon laughed.
“Can you really understand? From now on, I will create a curse that will never be resolved so that everyone will wander in my dreams.”
Shin Ha-yoon thought that Lee Hyuk could not understand him.
“Everyone in this world is noisy as if they were the owner… So I’m like a whole and perfect sculpture. I will make one world.”
And the idea was right.
Lee Hyuk was not a dreamer willing to participate in Shin Ha-yoon’s plan to conquer the world. Rather, he was an overly realistic human being who never deviated from common sense.
Therefore, Lee Hyuk thought that the current judgment was not his mistake. I just thought it was because the human species was not inherently rational.
“I told you. I decided to be on your side. Hayoon, if you decided that, it doesn’t matter what kind of dream it is.”
At this point, he should have been moved, but Shin Ha-yoon laughed aloofly, covering his mouth at Lee Hyuk’s one-sided love story.
“…you’re really stupid too.”
And since he had the same thought, Lee Hyuk laughed. Why the hell did he come to like such a dangerous woman?
“I agree.”
With the power of the glass heart, the island rose higher and higher into the sky, and the sea around the island roared with fierce waves.
Just to the extent that the power was released to the extent of worsening the weather, it was possible to know how vicious the mana contained in the glass heart was.
‘…okay. I’m sorry Yooseong, but it’s the same this time.’
Shin Yoo-seong grew up, but Shin Ha-yoon did too. It wasn’t as much as in her heyday when she reigned as the Witch of Disaster, but Shin Ha-yoon had telekinetic powers and had a glass heart that sealed Velvet’s mana.
This was the moment Shin Ha-yoon had been waiting for every single day since he regained his memory.
“I hope.”
The glass heart filled with Velvet’s mana emitted light in the air.
“αιώνιο όνειρο.”
The red jewel [Curse of the Sea King] scattered from Shin Ha-yoon’s right hand. The necklace Aurora held in her left hand resonated with the glass heart and emitted purple mana.
“αιώνια απόγνωση.”
i hope
eternal dream.
eternal despair.
‘I’m sorry. Yoo Seong-ah. Nothing will change this time either.”
Shin Ha-yoon smiled again, like the expression he made in front of the orphanage on the rainy day.
