Episode 492 – Room 207, The Gate Room – The First Trial ‘Eternal Life and Resurrection’ (10) Fin
– Aidia
Memphis, a burning ruin, filled with wailing people.
A picturesque girl resembling a snowflake, a mysterious being that appeared with my old friend.
Horus’ gaze is upon me.
“Princess of the Lizard, what are you thinking now?”
My breath stopped.
My heart started beating wildly, and my frozen soul melted in an instant.
Adjectives to describe it kept coming to mind.
The reader of fortunes.
The greatest one.
Horus, the majestic god.
…
Not God.
It’s the end of Egypt.
You are a monster, you are a devil, you are my enemy!
I couldn’t help but feel angry as I thought about my poor blood relatives who were being murdered by the mob every moment.
“Eww! Die!”
He ran at me, screaming like a madman.
Of course, I know very well that I cannot kill Horus.
Even the great Menes could not overcome that demon, so how could I, young and weak?
I know better than anyone else.
I die today to that cruel god.
but….
Even if I were to die, I wanted to swing my sword at least once.
“Dead!”
At that time, a book that resembled the pitch-black night sky appeared.
— Flutter!
A terrible force suddenly stopped my body.
An evil magic that I, who am so weak, cannot understand or resist.
Soon, my hands, out of control, began to strangle my neck.
“Ugh! Huh!”
I can’t breathe.
He was subdued before he could even swing his sword properly.
I didn’t even touch the collar of that disgusting devil!
My body and mind shed tears at the same time.
The fact that I, who was an Egyptian princess until yesterday, am now being toyed with by my enemy and dying…
It was painful.
“Ugh!”
I gritted my teeth and raised my head.
At least I wanted to die with dignity.
And this was the best decision I made today.
“Euryaaaaah!”
The man in black turned into a ray of light and fell upon Horus!
What great harmony is this?
Horus, the greatest of the world, even Menes, the evil god who had bowed down to him, allowed a mere human to strike first.
In an instant, Horus’ clothes turn red.
A being that seemed like it wouldn’t change its expression even if the world were to collapse tomorrow panicked and lost its balance!
“Ugh…! Hey you!”
At that moment, my hands that had been strangling my master’s neck came back under my will, and my neck gained freedom.
“Taio! How on earth did you do that!”
Taio’s answer is heard, as if he had been waiting for it.
“Lady Aidia! Run away! You must live!”
iced coffee…!
Taio is right.
Because I don’t have the strength to defeat that monster yet!
I ran and ran like crazy.
I heard someone fall from behind.
This means that in the end, Taio could not hold out and collapsed.
Can I escape?
When I looked back in soul-sucking fear, I saw a second miracle.
A girl grabs Horus’s blood-stained clothes and tries to stop him.
Miro is holding back Horus while shedding tears.
Ironically, that sight was quite comforting.
As much as I loved that child, that child also loved me.
…
How on earth did this happen?
How could I, so weak as I am, escape from the clutches of that terrible demon?
A sudden realization came to me.
Even Horus’s seemingly endless prophecy has its flaws.
And look at that blood!
Even that arrogant god is ultimately a being made of soft flesh.
In other words, it is a being that can be killed.
“under!”
My great ancestor, the absolute monarch of the lizards.
The words he proudly shouted before Horus.
‘From now on, I decide my fate in my own hands.’
So I swore to myself, not to the sky or the sun.
I am Aidya.
He is the one who will kill Horus, who will return to this land one day.

I was speechless.
I didn’t know what to say.
The image of Aidyah running away with bloodshot eyes still lingers in my mind.
“…”
A woman touching her red-dyed clothes and a man in black collapsed in front of her.
Soon, ‘Taio’ stood up.
It would be shocking to see Aidy in action, but in fact, this man is not dead.
“Wow, it’s amazing from an observer’s perspective.”
A man who talks to Ga-in like a friend.
“what?”
Gain responds naturally to this.
“Acting skills, acting skills! I just scratched my skin a little, but if someone saw me, they’d think my heart was pierced!”
“Are you okay?”
“I thought he was a total movie star?”
“Hey, hey! Stop praising yourself. We don’t have time.”
Soon, ‘Taio’ disappeared with a big smile.
“…”
It’s not strange.
Because from the beginning, there was no ‘Taio’ in this place.
That’s just a clone that Cain created with a magic book.
To my eyes, it never appeared as a tiara, but rather as a black, glowing shadow.
Since when did Gain gain this kind of power?
“Brother… Are you done?”
Aidia heard Songi’s voice, which made her mistake the unidentified figure for ‘Taio’.
“okay.”
“Whew… I don’t know what it is, but I’m glad…”
“great job.”
With those words, Songi slowly closed her eyes.
It’s not a sad thing.
Since the day Menes cut off her hand, Songi had wanted to rest in peace.
The teacher passed away clutching his holed stomach.
Jincheol summoned a star fragment to stop the robot from going berserk, and then turned into a twisted lump of flesh.
Songi is going to die soon.
The only ones left are me and Seungyeop, and if we add one more, Yumi.
I’m soon falling into a long sleep.
What will happen to Seungyeop and Yumi?
“Maze, enter the sarcophagus.”
A black box with a thick liquid sloshing around in it.
The Immortal Sarcophagus.
— Clank!
“what’s the matter?”
A handsome young man with a big smile.
My precious heart, my first love.
“Do you have any questions?”
Gain’s time is now less than 30 seconds left, but I just can’t stand it.
Question marks, question marks, there were just so many that came to mind!
Gain, what are you thinking?
Aren’t we supposed to kill all the reptilians?
Why did you let Aidia live when you could have killed her?
Let’s say there’s a reason to let him live.
Then why don’t you just not show up in front of Aidya?
Why did you imitate the long-dead Taio and deceive Aidya?
last!
Why on earth am I… .
Should I sleep in a sarcophagus?
“I can tell just by looking at your eyes. You really have a lot of questions.”
“…”
“You’ll find out soon enough. I don’t have a hobby of asking questions, so I’ll tell you everything without fail after issue 207 ends.”
And then his face came closer.
“Hey hey hey!”
“good night.”
— rattle
The sarcophagus lid was closed.
…
I thought you’d at least kiss me, but it’s too much to end it with a hug in this kind of atmosphere.
This was my last memory of the first ordeal.
“Eternal Life and Resurrection, Fin”

“The status window date has disappeared.”
— Rattling! Rattling!
The train runs without stopping for even a moment.
What kind of ordeals will there be at the end of the tracks, the last station where I will get off?
On the other side, Eunsol, Jincheol, and Elena are having a strategy meeting.
“Jincheol, you are probably a knight. Elena, you are obviously a lady of noble family?”
“What about your sister?”
“Well? Ga-in doesn’t know either. Am I a young lady somewhere?”
“Hey~! Are there only two young ladies? There should be a maid too.”
“Wow! Cha Jin-cheol, what did you just say? You want me to be a maid? I’m the daughter of a noble family, and I’m hearing this?”
“Huh! Sister, you know I’m joking, right?”
“Jincheol knows he will never be able to get a job in Korea again.”
“Haha! You too, stop joking.”
About half of it is a strategy meeting, and the other half is a time for the three of us to get to know each other better.
It’s not bad in the sense that it helps you relax.
Those three are next.
At that moment, someone sat down next to me.
“Haha, sir. Are you enjoying your train ride?”
“…”
A unpleasant voice, a merchant.
“From now on, please call me ‘Manager’ instead of ‘Sangsang.’”
“Did you get promoted?”
“No, that’s not true. I think a conductor would be more suitable for a train.”
“…”
“I enjoyed the first trial. You have no idea how impressed I was. Ha! I have been serving in hotels for a long time, but I rarely see guests like you.”
Did you enjoy the first trial?
It has two meanings.
Unlike us, merchants can observe the progress of the trials.
Also, the first trial just ended!
I sat up without realizing it and looked at the front compartment.
“…”
Brother Jincheol, sister Eunsol, and Elena.
All three were laughing and chatting, even eating snacks.
It’s a surprising situation where a merchant comes and sits next to me, but he doesn’t seem interested.
Perhaps some kind of magical power had blinded the eyes of his comrades.
“Why are you like that? Are you surprised that the people who come in next are all fine?”
“…”
“Who knew someone would fall? Haha! It’s a secret, but whatever happens during the ordeal won’t affect anyone inside the train.”
What happens in the ordeal has no effect on the train.
“To put it simply, let’s say that Miss Miro summons Gain and then Gain dies. But Gain on the train won’t be affected at all. Why?”
“…”
“Because you shouldn’t know the content of the upcoming trials. This is to prevent spoilers. Do you understand?”
Why are you talking about spoiler prevention and all?
I’m telling you everything right now!
I didn’t say a word, so why is the merchant talking like this without context?
I read it as an insight, but it means that Jincheol fell in the first ordeal.
Even so, Jincheol hyung inside the train is not affected.
But what about Jincheol hyung in the second trial?
… it looks like my ominous prediction will come true.
“Thank you?”
“… what?”
“Haha, contestant Han Ga-in. Surely you’re not some beast of a man who doesn’t know gratitude, are you?”
“…”
“I think I just gave you a pretty good hint.”
“I guessed.”
“Guessing is different from being sure. I gave you a surety.”
That’s not wrong.
“What are you trying to say?”
“This is my personal curiosity.”
Now that you’ve helped me, would you like to satisfy my personal curiosity?
“Ask.”
“Do you think of yourself as a hero? Or just a trusted comrade?”
“I don’t understand the intent of your question.”
“Let’s change it specifically. The path for humanity, or the path for you and your colleagues. If you had to choose one, which would you choose?”
The way for humanity and the way for myself and my colleagues.
“…If possible, we should save both.”
“You’re so greedy! Just pick one, just one.”
“…”
“Just one. If you try to catch both, you’ll lose both.”
At that moment, when I was at a loss as to what to say, the merchant suddenly blurted out terrible words.
“I am not as great as you and cannot read fate, but I do know one thing.”
“what?”
“I think we’ll be together for a very long time.”
“No, what kind of unlucky thing are you talking about -”
“Gain, let’s get to know each other in advance. Next time we meet, please call me hyung.”
“Hey, you little shit!”
When I turned my head to curse more because I was so shocked, there was no one next to me.
— Clank!
“The second trial will begin! Participants, please prepare yourself.”
“Good luck everyone!”
“Ooooh~! Let’s do our best together, the three of us!”
“Sister Eunsol, Mr. Jincheol. Let’s work hard together!”

“Second Trial – The Witch”
– Elena
The floor was solid marble, and what appeared before my eyes was an antique wooden table.
What are you wearing? Oh, it’s silk!
Even in the 21st century, silk is considered a luxury fiber, and it goes without saying that it was even more so in the Middle Ages.
Following #205 and #206, #207 also successfully starts as an upper class!
I was secretly happy.
A hotel is a dangerous place no matter where you start, but it’s better to start as a rich girl than a slum girl so that you’re at least comfortable.
This wasn’t the end.
— Beep!
A bird’s cry that is so familiar, I’ve heard it countless times.
“Huh? Is that sound Pero?”
What is it? What is it?
What the heck?
At the beginning of the rich girl’s life, the best helper by her side is Pero?
Was the hotel such a friendly place?
I hate to say it with my own mouth, but instead of saying it, I’m thinking about it!
Look at the part the hotel gave me.
In room 205, there’s an apostle of God, in room 206, a famous actor, and in room 207, a rich girl with a mysterious parrot.
Why do they keep giving me such good roles?
Because I’m pretty!
Because she’s pretty, that kind of role suits her!
“… Hmm, I’ll control myself.”
Come to your senses.
You’re so kind it’s almost ominous.
“Mr. Hotel… Mr. Hotel. Why are you acting so out of place?”
I found myself mumbling to myself without realizing it, perhaps because of my anxiety.
— Crunch!
The solid feel inside the clothes, this is the envelope Ga-in gave me.
When did I tell you to open it?
‘When it’s Elena’s turn in room 207, check it out right away.’
I told you to check it right away.
— Flutter!
He opened the envelope and unfolded a small piece of paper.
There was a very simple message written on the paper.
“sorry.”
“?”
“I think the second trial will have to be done by Elena and Eunsol.”
“???”
“Come on, come on, fighting!”
“Whoa!”
