Episode 411 – Room 206, The Cursed Room – ‘The Demon King Resurrects After 100 Days’ (13)
– Park Seung-yeop
Me, Seung-Yeop Park.
Age: 14 years old, gender: male.
I, like that, faced the match of my life.
— Kuoooo!
The enemy is the strongest beast created by Mother Nature.
He is a god of violence who can shake the heavens and earth with a single roar.
But who am I?
A martial arts talent that will be recorded in the history of martial arts recognized by the best swordsman in the world, Lee Ja-seong!
Therefore, I will never back down from this fight.
As the crucial match approaches, I recalled what happened two days ago.
Is this a revolving lantern or something like that?
*
May is probably the ‘first ancestor’.
No one explained it to me, but my experience at the hotel told me.
There was a reason why the hotel chose the daycare as my starting point.
The next morning, after May had disappeared from my sight like a bubble bursting, the director of the daycare grabbed me and shook me.
“Ugh… Why are you like that-”
“Follow me.”
The director took me down the stairs leading to the basement of the orphanage.
“…”
“…”
I went down for almost an hour.
It was so hard in the middle that I had to take short breaks.
At that time, the director said.
“Have you met him?”
“If it’s him, then Mayo?”
The director glared.
“Is this ‘May’?”
“Okay. What are you talking about?”
“You didn’t say anything particularly impressive… You just looked a little tired?”
“Phew.”
“Where are you taking me?”
The director walked silently for a long time before opening his mouth again.
“outside.”
“yes?”
“You are a special child. It is clear now that I recognized him.”
“that -”
“This city makes special children ordinary.”
It seems to be talking about the ‘unbreakable reason’ that I vaguely heard about at the beginning.
“Go outside. Meet your fate there.”
With those words, the director handed me a fairly large bag.
The bag was full of things like chocolate bars and camping gear.
“If you go along the road for about 200 meters, you will come across a river. Go straight up along the river.”
“How much?”
“A week?”
“Is it that long?”
“If you can’t even endure that, then your bowl is lacking.”
“…”
*
At that point, a day later, I met my fate.
—Wow!
When the gray bear howled, the fur on its body stood on end.
“Whew! Whoosh!”
I remember.
How does a human fight a bear with his bare body?
I know it well!
I’m sure I saw it somewhere on the internet.
Was that roughly what it was about?
“I don’t know about gorillas, but it’s easy with bears!
1. Wait for the bear to stand on its hind legs and attack.
2. It’s the beast’s punch, it’s obvious. Dodge the telephone punch that smells like a rookie by ducking and move forward.
3. Quickly turn around.
4. Did you know? Bears have short limbs and arms, so they can’t reach behind their backs.
5. Proper choking. Even the strongest beast will collapse if you cut off the blood supply to the brain.
Something like this. It’ll probably take about 30 seconds?
As soon as the reliable information came to mind, confidence surged throughout my body.
— Ooooooh!
A bear runs towards you, howling. Number 1!
So if I crouch down and dodge the bear’s punch –
[Heavenly Fortune Activated! The energy of the universe protects you!]
…blood, dodged!
The bear suddenly fell over after his hind legs gave way.
I avoided it with ducking, right?
Take advantage of this gap and move behind them!
“Hey!”
Well, this is the difference between the lords of creation and beasts of burden.
A bear like that can’t hurt a human behind his back –
— Degururur!
“Eww!”
The crazy bear cub started rolling on the floor!
4, 4 times wrong!
You don’t know who it’s wrong!
“Eww!”
— Boom!
It felt like someone picked me up and threw me on the concrete.
My vision became blurred for a moment, along with a pain that felt like my lungs were going to burst.
“Please!”
No! No no no no!
This is a bit too much!
You’re saying you’re going to die after being tricked by an internet scammer?
When I swung my arms around and around in my blurry vision.
Blood that started from deep inside the heart moved towards the fingertips, warming the entire body.
At the moment of life or death, the ‘Spirit of Aksha’ was activated.
— Keeek!
When I opened my eyes, I realized that the explosive force created by Aksha’s spirit had crushed both of the bear’s eyes and brain.
“…”
Does this make sense?
Even when I was training alone in a hotel, facing a wall, four out of five times nothing happened.
With a probability of less than 20%, Aksha’s spirit manifested, and it hit the bear’s eye, which was incredible.
…
If I had just sat there and used my luck, wouldn’t the bear have died?
Let’s take it easy.
This is also a kind of talent!
I’m sure Master would be impressed if he saw me now.
After that, I continued to move along the river, and for about three days, nothing special happened.
I’ve encountered small animals often, but honestly, they’re nothing special.
And it was revealed what the director meant by ‘outside reality’.
“…”
Another ‘paradise’ appeared before my eyes.
The last city of mankind was not actually the last city.

[User: Han Ga-in (Jihye)
Date: Day 273 (+41)
Current Location: Room 206, The Cursed Room – ‘The Demon King Resurrects After 100 Days’
Wise Man’s Advice: 3]
– Han Ga-in
The days have passed.
How many human beings has been devoured by indomitable reason in the meantime?
I don’t know. The important thing is that the extinguished furnace has started to heat up again.
— Gyaaak!
In the meantime, I was able to resolve many of my questions through conversations with Sijo.
The reason why the One More Chance was not used until the moment the market died was simply because there was no such thing.
One More Chance, the tool that Shijo conveniently calls a ‘coin’ was originally hers and was simply lent to the Kadyrov family.
After her return, she retrieved the coin from the market.
— Please… Please save me!
“It’s impossible with just Unyielding Reason, but with the addition of One More Chance, the Demon King in the early stages of resurrection can be suppressed. Are you sure?”
— You devils! Hell awaits you!
The poet muttered with an extremely tired expression.
“The most important thing is missing. Someone needs to beat the awakening Demon King and force him back underground.”
“OK. It looks like it’s being pressed down by force in the early stages.”
“Can’t you hear me? Someone has to defeat the Demon King.”
“Should I start preparing to go up soon…?”
“No, just because it’s the early stages of resurrection, do you think the Demon King is on the same level as those monsters up there?”
— Ahhh… . Oh my god! Punishment on these monsters!
The poem did not understand how I could even briefly stop the demon from being freed from his shackles.
I had no way of explaining the descent either.
At that moment, a faint spark of indomitable reason finally appeared.
[Descent: 1 -> 0]
It is now.
The moment before the indomitable reason fully exerts its power!
If you miss this moment, you will not be able to use the descent.
A celestial wave suddenly broke through the ceiling of paradise and crashed down on me.
The sijo looked at me in shock.
“You… what the hell!”
“Do you understand what I mean now?”
*
The 4th descent!
I thought that as the number of times increased, I would become accustomed to the descent.
no.
Something new every time.
A keen sense that stretches endlessly greedily devours the information the world holds.
During this process, my weak brain screamed as it could not overcome the storm of information.
I can’t seem to control the volcanic power boiling up from my whole body.
The feeling of omnipotence that could cause an earthquake with just a snap of a finger gripped my soul.
However, as was the case in the past, the moment of suffering did not last long.
This is because the descent does not only bring strength, but also the vessel to endure the strength.
1 second or less.
I quickly broke through the dome and ascended into paradise, looking down on the city.
In an instant, as if the indomitable will had regained its power, the strange demons that had filled the city melted away like ice exposed to sunlight.
“Come out. As time goes by, you too will find the indomitable reason burdensome. Even if you are not ready, shouldn’t you come out?”
— Boom!
At that moment, the dome in front broke and the maze rose upward.
“Ga, in, ah.”
“You still can’t control your own body properly?”
“Again, Again, Again, Again, Again, Again, Again, Again, Again, Again, Again, Again, Again, Again, Again, Again, Again, Again, Again, Again”
“…”
It’s an unpleasant behavior, like playing with a toy.
I have a question.
What on earth is the maze in scenario 206?
At first I thought Miro was ‘Shijo’, but Shijo appeared in the body of a completely different girl with short brown hair.
I don’t know.
The labyrinth had no grand role to play in the known history of Paradise.
I hinted at the poem, but she seemed completely unaware of it.
The story is that the identity of the maze is unknown even to the city’s founder, who knows most of the city’s secrets.
There is very little information about Room 206.
—Whoosh!
Finally, the Demon King’s hand appeared, destroying the center of the city.
*
There is no time to delay even for a second.
Because I realized it the moment my hand slipped out.
The Demon King’s entire body comes out beyond that horrible hand?
At that time, even if you gain power much stronger than Kangrim, you will never be able to win.
Even if the 104th stock comes directly, it won’t be easy.
There’s something I’ve always thought about since I was little, watching various cartoons and movies.
Why does everyone give each other a chance?
It is basic to say everything you want to say to each other while fighting with your life on the line.
You either laugh at the chance to land a fatal blow and miss it, or you make people hold you back by saying things like, “I’ll take my leave for today.”
I didn’t even think about that.
In the first place, he is not someone you can afford to be so relaxed about.
So from the beginning, I made the best move I could.
The greatest power of descent that the ‘Dragon of the Nebula’ once told me about.
‘Words with power’
“I declare that the Lord has given you three chances.”
…
“Sir, I declare! The Lord has given you three chances!”
No, if you shout like this, you should get at least the minimum reaction!
Why is there no response at all to the ‘judgment’ contained in the words of power?
The moment I was speechless because the strongest pack was blocked from the start, the Demon King’s hand grabbed me.
*
The city is collapsing.
The city that has survived by burning humans falls into the abyss.
I see an endless pit with demons crawling out of it.
I see the malice that mocks all the efforts of the people of the market and paradise.
The pleasure of seeing the red-hot spectacle of the Baha, the flames blowing in the wind, the love of my father, crushed my mother, I tore off my leg because I was hungry, and my younger brother ate it, in the chaos, the leopard’s cry burns the moonlight, and the bleeding spear tears the neck of a living thing and swallows the fetus in its stomach, I love you, if I’m with you, even in eternal pain, immortal
In the midst of a mind-consuming madness, I open the grimoire.
Are you crazy? The Demon King’s power is still melting you down?
It’s foolish. Madness is not a set but a complement, so the madness of the Grimoire can be salvation.
What are you talking about? Who are you to be so arrogant?
As the Demon King pulls us north, even Kangrim is unable to move and is dragged without a destination.
So, shouldn’t we use the power of the Grimoire to pull it south?
Did you create such a delusion as a plan?
Just try anything you can, you idiot. It’s better than just sitting there and muttering.
— Flutter!
Surprisingly, I came to my senses.
My mind, which was being torn apart in all directions, barely managed to regain its balance.
…
Is this hell?
Or is it an even more horrible place?
Small. Blurry and weak.
Me, Kangrim, and the magic book.
Everything felt like a faint candle in this abyss.
Just a short while ago I thought I had gained near omnipotent powers… .
Right now, even if I pour all my strength into it, all I can do is block the impulses that are coming at me from all sides.
Impulse. Impulse. Impulse.
I feel an endless impulse, surging like a whirlpool from all directions.
I see black eyes writhing underground.
It is the eye of the Demon King, and also the flames of evil that have solidified over eons.
Am I blocking that being right now?
Can you really call this a fight?
I don’t know.
I just held on and held on.
There was no time to use any skills or superpowers.
It just released and released the power that had descended.
I think of stars burning in the empty space.
Even tens of thousands of years are but a moment to the stars, and they truly burn for eternity.
Did that endless nuclear fusion warm the universe?
The temperature of the universe is -270.42452℃.
Isn’t it too cold and wide a place to be warmed by the power of a star?
I am a star and this is the universe.
— Kookung!
I feel a great wave shaking space and time.
Only when the clock of all things began to turn back did I know that the painful times were over.
“You have successfully escaped!
It was definitely a mistake to kill someone without understanding the role of the market, wasn’t it?
In the end, the Demon King’s resurrection was not prevented, and destruction came.
But it’s a descent, it’s a descent.
It really cannot be anything but an absurd power.
Indeed, it is your luck and blessing that you have been granted the descent.
In a hotel, isn’t luck just a skill?
Keep this in mind.
There will be no more descent for you.
Also, now you have to pay off your debt.
…
You have escaped the curse.
But I still feel that the source of the curse remains.
“One of the comrades has successfully escaped! Congratulations! One of the comrades has successfully escaped and all members have returned safely.”
