Chapter 5
Baek Do-hyun first met ‘her’ when one day, mankind was nearing its end
Hundreds of unexpected cracks appeared simultaneously all over the country
Since the country had been upgraded to ‘First Priority Country’ by babel, it was the first major crack incident
Monster waves showed no end and continued coming and coming
Hunters desperately fought in their respective areas, but it wasn’t enough
The situation at Jamsil Bridge which was being managed by a small number of elite guilds, such as Babylon, was especially bad
With no reinforcements coming in, their forces were pushed back more and more, and the shock-stated bridge was quickly collapsing
Right when he was in his limit
Instead of Baek Do-hyun who was in a crisis while trying to save the citizens, the guild leader Gyeon Ji-rok got fatally injured
「Rok! No way. Wake up, keep your eyes open, Gyeon Ji-rok!」
「…Fuck. It hurts like hell」
「Are you laughing right now? You, your arm. Damn it…」
One of his shoulders was completely crushed
Baek Do-hyun couldn’t bear to keep talking because of his terrible appearance. However, even as he was vomiting blood, Gyeon Ji-rok kept laughing
「Hey. Our nice and kind Baek Da-hyun. …If I, told you I had a Deus ex Machina that I hadn’t used yet, what would you do? Would you scold me for not using it until now」
(Deus ex machina is an unexpected power or event that can be used to save a hopeless situation)
「You son of a bitch, it’s not time to be joking. We have to stop the bleeding…!」
Tak-!
Ji-rok grabbed onto Baek Do-hyun who was about to get up. Something was going to go wrong
Then he whispered with some sort of madness
「Don’t tell anyone about what you see from this point onwards」
With his blood-soaked hands, Gyeon Ji-rok broke the necklace he always wore
After that it was like a dream… It felt as if everything was a ‘dream’
Starting with the color of the sky changing…
Like some sort of symbol, thunderstruck, and the roaring monsters were thrown down into the Han River all at once
Guuung-!
A long resonance was heard
The sound of a giant film tearing apart in the sky
As he held onto the fainted Gyeon Ji-rok, Baek Do-hyun looked up at the sky
The shadows that covered the sky grew bigger and darker. And…
There was a person sitting on top of a black dragon
It was the first time he had seen it, but he knew it instinctively
‘The Magician King…!’
The rumored Number 1
The first in the country, ‘Jo’
Rumble. The magician king lightly landed and walked towards them
Baek Do-hyun’s eyes were open wide
It was a marvelous sight
Every step the king took, the collapsed places around were being restored as if time was rewinding
The magician king asked
「Did you do that?」
「…I can’t say I didn’t」
「If you did, you will be dead. So tell me exactly what happened」
「I didn’t hurt him, but he got hurt because of me. Are you an acquaintance of the leader? There is no excuse for not taking responsibility …I’m sorry」
「What’s your name?」
「…It’s, Baek Do-hyun」
After hearing his name, they were silent for a moment, and then, they lifted their hood
Leaving the chromatic light behind, their gazes… met
Baek Do-hyun’s eyes trembled
It was the first time he felt such a strong feeling in his life. It wrapped around his whole body. It was, It felt like some sort of attack
It was beyond his imagination, Baek Do-hyun somehow managed to hold back his voice
‘Jo’ smirked
「I am surprised that this side is in the same situation. Show off your title. I will bother you for a bit」
「…what?」
「Whatever. I don’t want to get more entangled. I trust you since you are ‘the brave defender of good faith’. But look, at first glance, you don’t think I am a bad guy do you? I’ll take Gyeon Ji-rok with me, so you can relax
And that was the end of it
The black dragon flew back towards the sunset sky
Intense… that’s the only word that could describe the first and last conversation he ever had with her
He hadn’t told anyone about it, even Gyeon Ji-rok, But Baek Do-hyun never forgot that day
Until the very last moment where his life ended
***
And… now. For the 2nd time in his life
Still small, still cute, and still has the same indifferent face
“Eeh. There is nothing to eat here. Is this really a place people live in?”
“…”
“Hooo. tch, there is no bed. What is this? I’m disappointed”
“…”
Was… was she always like this…?
The magician king(Special: Ranked No 1) rolled up her blanket like a cocoon and poked her head out
“Excuse me”
“…yes?”
“Please order some tteokbokki. It’s been a while since I worked so hard that I am hungry. Very hungry”
“…Tteokbokki?”
“Oh my god, my stomach. I am so tired of working so hard that I have no strength left. I am about to die”
“…Where should I order from?”
“Yupdduk. Half n half. Light spice. Add cheese.”
This wasn’t right
This really wasn’t right
After finishing her order, while Baek Do-hyun was wearing his shoes she couldn’t help but mutter ‘it would be delicious if we added in sausages too’
“Also get a Melona on the way home”
“…”
…where was the convenience store?
He didn’t think there was any nearby
Not long after regressing, the surrounding area still felt a bit unclear. So he might have to be a little late…
‘I am going to need to hurry!’
Love… the chain of flare within the human race
The fucking handsome, pushover, Border collie Baek Do-hyun quickly hurried his steps
***
Few hours ago
The ability Gyeon Zio received from her deity was something like an archive, or an computer library
[Libraryzation]
Simply put, It was like a high level margin changing the surrounding environment into a customized field optimized for her…
Once ‘Libraryzation’ was activated, Zio would become the owner of the library as the sole contractor of the covenant
It would be possible to read character information within the area of control, edit the ‘development’ and ‘ending’, or find and implement ‘recordings’
When he first found out about Zio’s ability, Gyeon Ji-rok had exploded in anger, asking what kind of a OP character was she
But despite that, her covenant still insisted that Zio should climb the tower saying she was still immature
As if to prove that wasn’t wrong only 17% of the ‘libraryzation’ displayed in the status window was proficient
Anyway, the bottom line is, it was incredibly strong
‘I think, my ability… sounds kinda cool’
Zio who put a full stop in the air was doing a gesture without holding a quill
Even for an archmage who was capable of monstrous operation, ‘modification’ was the most difficult and dangerous area to deal with
However, this time it was relatively easy thanks to the regressor who knew the details of the incident
With all the possibility of ‘development’ blocked, the Seolleung station, where the accident was modified, was clean as if nothing had happened
Hiding her pride, Zio raised her hand. Well, it was time for her to go now
「Being together with you was embarrassing, so let’s never see each other again」
「Ah, wait…!」
「No way, I will throw away all the bonds shackles of this world and set off to find my own happiness」
Baek Do-hyun couldn’t hold onto her
With series of speed based abilities, Zio wrapped around the wind
She quickly hid into the alley next to the starbucks, slashing through everything
The main characters of box office movies were very scary people
According to the rules of the old genre, once they caught the so-called ‘big shot’ they would completely brush them off to the bottom
Even more, if it was Gyeon Zio the biggest figure ranked in number 1
The moment she makes a mistake and gets tangled up together in the wrong way and he says ‘is this person the one in the strongest support position’ it was all over
‘’That won’t do. Who would want that?’
There should only be one Gyeon Zio on board
How dare a regressor who looks like a fine border collie
[Your covenant ‘the reader of fate’ admires you for your speedy survival instinct]
Diing-
‘Who is it, is it an emergency?’
[Mother’s son: (Photo)]
[Mother’s son: (Photo)]
Sure enough, it was starbucks
Even though she was just in a side alley, the wi-fi connected, and kakaotalk exploded, she guessed they had a good router. Zio opened up her phone’s lock in admiration of the capital power of the Dragon franchise…
‘Oh, ah, nononono’
Two pictures were sent by Gyeon Ji-rok
It was Zio’s empty room
Only the faint traces of the bed were left there, touching the viewers heart
Following the earthquake, Zio had went into the temple in Gangwon-do, and the prayer was read quickly
‘Ga-Gangwon-do’
Yong-in’s boarding school was terrible, but now Gangwon-do temple?
Her brain melted
Even when she took the csat twice, she never had to think so quickly and fiercely
The consideration didn’t take too long
Yes, tomorrow’s pain is farther than today’s pain. I’ve decided!
Zio raised her body that she had hidden behind a telephone pole. She called out without hesitation with her fingers crossed
「Over here, mister」
「….!」
Baek Do-hyun who was looking around for the missing magician king turned around in surprise
Looking at his neat, trustworthy, and excellent looking face that suited his personality, Zio asked
「Things don’t look good. Do you have money and a house?」
***
It was the perfect runaway teenager comment… Baek Do-hyun finished his short recollection
People would often say he was chosen to be favored by street cats. But now, he fully understood how that felt
Except for the fact that she was a human, this person (Ranked no.1) didn’t have much habits different from those small animals
Shameless, lazy, unable to move well in one place, naturally commanding others…
“What are you looking at?”
Fierce and…
“Heeey. Oi, Mr.Baek, I’m sleepy. Turn off the lights”
‘…cute’
No, he had to get his act together
What are you doing…! Baek Do-hyun, were you always such an easy guy?
Baek Do-hyun shook his head and grabbed his heart. As a regressor who had gone through countless horrific and miserable battlefields, he always looked sternly serious during daytime
“”You need to brush your teeth before you go to bed. I got you a new toothbrush. Get up”
“Huu. That’s annoying”
“No you can’t. You’ll get cavities. Didn’t you eat two Melona? Come on’
Zio got up with a grudging manner
She had nowhere to go, so she hurriedly followed him, but this man was extremely strict
She was scolded if she spilled some tteokbokki broth, and he even gave her a hard time just because she chose sausages
He even scolded her for leaving the melona stick alone
‘Will I really live with the shame of staying in somebody else’s house…?’
[Your covenant ‘the reader of fate’ nods loudly]
[People can live without cleaning, but he is concerned that it would be hard to breathe]
‘What can I do, Unni? I need to be the kind one who will put up with it’
[Your covenant feels sorry for its cute little incarnation that is sometimes too soft
[In a scary world like this, you can’t live like that. And it’s been anxious since you have been staying at the house of an outsider]
‘Yes…’
[Exclusive skill ‘Spoiler Child’ evolves one level!]
‘…’
[…]
This damn Babel
In the distance the skirt wind… no the star wind leader coughed in vain
Gyeon Zio quietly focused on brushing her teeth
