Episode 14
“…what is it.”
– Beep beep beep!
– Beep!
Damian turned his head at the sound that echoed from behind him.
It was a familiar sound.
Did you know that there are a few other friends of the same age as the boy’s friend?
“Beep!”
“Beep beep!”
About dozens of young chicks were flocking in front of Damian, and the boy pointed to them and proudly placed his hand on his side.
“I see! A lot of my friends!”
“…Uh. That’s right.”
Apparently, he had no other friends.
“beep! beep! beep! beep!”
“right! right! right! right!”
As the boy danced, the new chicks followed him.
It was like watching a media group’s jungle animation.
In the middle of a forest covered with unknown grass and trees.
As if holding a ritual for rain, the boy shouted, “Woo! right!” and the new chicks were also playing trains along with it.
And…
“Do you want to be friends?”
“…?”
Damian saw the boy reach out to him as he approached.
“…okay.”
And Damian took the boy’s hand.
* * *
“Keuhuhuk.”
Damian caught his breath.
It was a bright moon.
The moment the boy reaches out his hand towards him and loses consciousness.
Damian felt as if the world was turning upside down, and at the same time he saw a familiar landscape unfold.
“Here…”
“Looks like he’s coming to his senses.”
It was the heart of the Whispering Island.
“Okay, how are you feeling?”
Damian turned his head at the voice.
It was a familiar picture.
An eight-foot-tall old man with a bonfire and an empty field in a rugged valley covered in black darkness.
“You damn old man!!”
“Ke-keek!!”
And when Damian jumped up like a guard and quickly grabbed the scruff of his neck, Karen’s face turned red in an instant.
Damian was able to come to his senses, but he never intended to forgive the person who struck him on the head.
“Tell me about this, you bastard!”
“Tell me what you did well!!!”
Boom bung bung!
As Damian grabbed hold of the collar and shook it, Karen struggled.
It was an outrageous arm strength.
It’s a shame because he didn’t die because he was lucky. If he was even a little twisted, he might have been meeting the grim reaper instead of Shaka by now.
So, it could be said that it was only natural for Damian to run towards Karen as if to kill him.
He really almost died in the capsule.
“Trying to kill someone, what? Are you going to tell me about this?!”
“Save four people!!!”
Kiran screamed at Damian’s roar.
he was crazy
Damian boasts of terrifying power enough to doubt whether he is the adventurer of the other world who was busy running away.
Such Damian’s grip contained the anger of a person who almost lost his life, and Karen felt that his consciousness was gradually becoming hazy by Damian’s violent grip.
‘I will really die at this rate!’
In other words, Damian’s grab was so strong that even Shaka’s subordinate, Kiran, felt the threat to his life.
“I can’t stand it any longer!!”
“Cuck!”
cooong!
Damian caught his breath and Karen slammed his head into it.
There were no lumps of stone.
Kiren’s head-butt, which reflects Damian’s will to live as if he were venting his anger at the point of death!
[Notice: Abnormal condition!]
[Notice: Your character is in a < living > state!]
[Notice: You cannot control your character until you recover your HP!]
Such a headbutt by Keren had formidable power. Damian could feel the shock of splitting his skull.
“Kkeukreuk…”
And Damian’s eyes turned white.
* * *
“Are you awake?”
“…yes.”
Damian stroked his forehead and raised his upper body. He seemed to have fainted for a moment.
The moment it felt like his skull would split as a result of Kyron’s forehead being hit.
Damian had to suffer from a headache like a hangover the day after he got drunk, and he had to deal with fragments of memories floating around like a cut film.
It was an enormous stone head.
“Someone’s head isn’t even a hammer…”
“What is it?”
“no.”
Damian turned around as Karen opened his eyes.
My curse was an old man who understood like a ghost.
Although he looked like a beggar, the 8-year-old man in front of him was by no means a person to be ignored.
“How have you been?”
“yes?”
“What did you talk about with Shaka-sama?”
“What… is that…”
So Damian thoughtfully scratched his sideburns at the words of Karen who asked him.
Actually, I didn’t remember very well.
Aside from the fact that he had a post-mortem experience with the activation of the main stream and Kiran’s surprise attack.
It was not as easy as I thought to meet Shaka in the underworld (?) and define exactly what I did in one word.
To put it bluntly…
“They said they wanted to be friends?”
“what? friend?”
“yes.”
As Damien said, it was all that he asked to be friends with him.
And the fact that Karen’s face became blank at Damian’s words could be said to be a very natural step.
“A friend doesn’t even sound like a word…”
He must have said that too, because the seventh god he served was the owner of the vast and infinite darkness and the supreme god of the end both in name and reality.
“what! It won’t matter!”
“…yes?”
“I heard Shaka-nim said we should be friends?”
“yes.”
“Being friends means sharing friendship. Then Shaka-sama must have made you the true successor of Nobu.”
“…why does the story turn out that way?”
“So, from now on, you just have to follow the old lady! Ha ha ha ha ha ha!”
Damian frowned as he watched Kiren growl.
It was more a dream than a dream.
How on earth can I interpret it so that it can be accepted in such a positive way?
Damian shook his head at the message floating in front of his eyes, thinking that neither the god nor the priest seemed normal.
[Notice: You have completed the main stream < The 7th Encounter with the Gods >!] The
“…”
quest has been completed.
* * *
“A long time ago.”
“There were seven gods in this land.”
“Arya of Light created it, and Lord Shaka gave it an end. Life and death went on like that, and the balance seemed to last forever.”
“I wonder if he was afraid of Shaka-sama’s power to annihilate everything?”
“Arya spoke to the five gods.”
“Since Shaka’s power is enough to swallow us, shouldn’t that power be restrained?”
“Obviously there were differences of opinion between them, but not a single god denied it.”
“They decided to forbid Shaka-sama’s power, just as Arya said.”
“Because they secretly feared Lord Shaka’s power and wanted to keep it under their control.”
“Shaka, enraged, went to war with the six gods. It’s been a long fight. The heavens and the earth trembled and the continents split apart.”
“The war of the gods that lasted seven days and nights was enough to destroy the entire continent.”
“But no matter how much you are the god of the end, you can’t handle all six gods.”
“Shaka-nim was eventually defeated and had to enter into eternal sleep with only his godhood maintained.”
“Leaving the latter to his family…”
“The seventh god was forgotten by people like that.”
Karen’s eyes turned to the night sky.
It was a look of remorse.
The Secret History of the Seventh God flowing from his mouth.
Damian could tell without saying that what was flowing from Karen was the other side of the main stream he didn’t know about.
It was because the words that came out of Karen’s mouth were never absurd to say that it was just a lie.
“When Shaka-nim disappeared, the six gods were relieved. They must have thought that they no longer had the power to threaten them.”
“They increased the number of members and promoted balance by raising Ariya to the main deity.”
“To replace the missing seventh god. To replace the apocalypse with their power.”
“However, it didn’t take long to realize that it was arrogance.”
Karen closed her eyes.
The time of the past thousands of years has passed quickly.
What happened due to Shaka’s absence.
It was a kind of price, and Karen was able to recognize it without difficulty.
If it was foreseeable, it was foreseeable.
“Because of Shaka-sama’s absence, demons have spread in the world. Those who did not meet the end began to reject death.”
“Arise with twisted dark power.”
“Against the gods and kills their creations.”
“To deny God by taking them.”
“That’s how demons appeared.”
“It was as obvious as seeing fire that they would be crushed at the bottom of the world.”
“The demon tribe was born that way.”
Damian nodded at Karen’s words.
It wasn’t a story that didn’t make much sense.
It was ironic that Shaka, who was thought to be the origin of all darkness, was in fact the most important axis in charge of order, and that demons spread in this land because of his absence.
Because it wasn’t a very unexpected story.
“I toured the continent for Shaka-sama’s resurrection.”
“There was nothing I hadn’t been to, and there was no creature I hadn’t looked for.”
“From mere insignificant creatures to demons.”
“It didn’t matter what it was to get revenge.”
“At the time, I was for the God I serve.”
“To defeat Arya and the five gods…”
“He was frantic about finding a creature with great power.”
“I never dreamed that it would be a very long and arduous task.”
“Thousands of years have passed like that.”
Karen muttered lowly.
Contrary to the calm voice, it was the shining eyes.
“Perhaps it was for this moment that I wandered the continent for so long.”
“Even if the thing inside of you is one of the many demons born in Shaka-sama’s absence.”
“It won’t matter to me and my god’s vengeance.”
“Now you are Nobu’s disciple, and at the same time, you will have to slay Arya, the god of light, and all the descendants of the five detestable gods with Shaka-sama’s sword.”
“Can you?”
Tring!
And the quest window appeared in front of Damian’s eyes.
[Notice: The main stream < Karon's Secret Wish > has occurred!]
[Notification: Do you accept the quest?]
It was a true main stream.
