I Will Be the Only One Who Heals at the Prison Academy - Chapter 409



409 – Winds of Winter #8

409 – Winds of Winter #8

The witch Medea said.

The “World Tree Shaman” Is a ladder that leads to another world.

It seems to be a being that summons the world tree Yggdrasil and then dies.

“I took on that role. Thanks to that, I became a body that could neither live nor die. In this thick tree, I am bound by a covenant that I cannot leave even for a moment.”

Sseukseu-.

She was Medea, touching with her palm the tree in which she had penetrated.

At that time, Nike asked with a slightly embarrassed expression.

“But, we also built something called Yggdrasil in the main stadium! But no one died! “Aren’t you misunderstanding something?”

Medea laughs at those words.

“Are you talking about the cracks that have appeared on the playground? That’s a tiny needle hole. So it cannot be said to be a world tree. Not even a sprout sprouted from a small seed. You can’t enter the pantheon with something like that.”

It looked like an entrance, but it wasn’t an entrance.

I definitely tried to enter the Pantheon through the crack, but I failed.

It was because it was too small.

If so.

If you want to open the real entrance to the Pantheon, does that mean you have no choice but to sacrifice the being who has been given the role of “World Tree Shaman”?

Nike.

Does Nike have to die?

It was quite an unbelievable story.

“You.”

Then Medea spoke to me.

“Do you have one? Ready to risk the life of someone you love for your dream.”

“…”

“That’s what dreams are like.” It’s not that romantic. Sometimes the law is so harsh that you have to sacrifice and give up everything else. Even people around you can get caught up in the dream and get hurt or killed. Do you have that kind of determination?”

Medea’s words see into my ears.

Dream.

My dream was to welcome the world after the ending.

Beyond games, living life in its true meaning.

Someone else for that… , What should I do if I have to sacrifice Nike?

Then Enio asked.

“Did Gilgamesh, your lover, sacrifice you, her Medea, for her her own dreams her her her? For her, her, her, her, her, her to become king?”

“He is a king. Actually, I don’t like that word. Gilgamesh didn’t want to be king. The only result of living recklessly and surviving was that he was considered a king. He never wanted to be king.”

* * *

Medea is quiet.

I thought so myself.

But the reason I ended up talking about this and that today is probably because something from a long time ago came to mind.

Girls who are still young.

And a man who seems somewhat blunt and tactless.

Looking at that scene reminded me of a long time ago.

Gilgamesh and those who liked him looked exactly like that.

And when I knew someone had to sacrifice one life.

I was just as embarrassed as that.

━Sacrifice one of you. Where are these rules? Even if it is the code of the gods, such violence cannot be followed.

The image of a man flashes in my mind.

The appearance of a man who was about to give up on his dream at the end.

Medea spoke to that man.

━Gil, you said you really wanted to change the gods’ arbitrary rules. If you win the game and ascend to the throne of God, you can change everything. Rules too. The world too. So, I will take on the role of the ‘shaman’.

Self-sacrifice.

Medea was willing to sacrifice her life for the man.

Because I wanted to do something for him.

Also, if a man gave up on his dream because of them, he might regret his choice his one day.

The day in the past when I gave up my dream because of a woman.

If that were to happen, Medea didn’t even want to imagine the look of resentment she would one day receive from the man she loved.

In that case, it is better to leave a big lasting ‘debt’ in the man’s heart.

There are countless women who like men.

A woman who sacrifices herself for a man will become unique.

I also had that kind of greed.

In the end, Medea sacrificed herself.

━Wait here, Medea. Because I will win this hell of entertainment and change everything. Then we will definitely be able to meet again.

The witch Medea died on the day when a great rift appeared in the world.

All that remains is Medea’s residual resignation her clinging to the tree that bloomed where her crack was broken.

Just keep the promise of the man who said, wait here.

Nevertheless, I was betrayed by a man who never returned.

When I came to that thought, I saw it.

‘This man named Victor must also have great dreams. It must be a wonderful and big dream that will fascinate people.’

In that dream, women will end up falling in love from which they cannot escape.

To the point where he could even throw away his own life

But the end is only destruction.

There is only waiting and betrayal.

‘Gil, what on earth did you see?’

Gilgamesh was a man with a stronger will than anyone else.

He had a heart of steel.

However, I heard that he gave up the game at the last moment because he entered the entertainment field where the gods exist.

“Gilgamesh was a genius. He was the only brave man in the world who had never been seen before. That’s why he’s called a king. That guy also gave up. Can you continue that?”

Medea asked.

The man, Victor, was speechless.

He seems lost in thought.

I could tell just by looking.

This man has no tact or talent.

He is the type of person who has high ideals on such topics and gets people around him involved.

So, without her knowledge, Medea became angry.

“Give up. All of you. It’s a useless sacrifice. I know because I already tried it. Just spend the remaining time happily with each other. Because that’s enough.”

It was a very common sense story.

But Nike thought to herself.

A few days running a witch’s errand in the western forest.

Nike was busy moving his body without a single moment of rest.

He had to starve without even having time to eat.

But unlike my tired body, my mind was happy.

Because.

Because she felt like she could do something for the boy she liked.

So I worked hard.

So I finally heard it.

About what the “World Tree Shrine Maiden” Is.

It was said to be a sacrifice.

It is said that it is a role that must die.

Nike was a little scared.

Because death is quiet and lonely.

After death, you must go to a place called a shower and wash your memories with the water of the river of Lethe.

Then, Nike will forget all his memories of her with Victor and everyone else.

She was more scared of that than dying.

Being forgotten by everyone.

She says she forgets everyone.

But.

Nike was feeling ‘fate’ somewhere.

She was destined to survive until now if it wasn’t for this moment.

‘She could die for me, Victor.’

Even when she thought about it, she was surprised.

Why does she want to do this to Victor?

I think about it carefully.

But he couldn’t figure out why.

Because Nike had a bad head.

What was certain was that every time she thought of Victor, her heart felt tight and sometimes she shed tears, not knowing whether they were happy or sad.

Also, I felt very sorry if Victor gave up his dream because of me.

Perhaps because of that, Nike, who was a coward, was surprisingly courageous.

“Victor, I will become the ‘World Tree Shaman’. As for Viktor, he can definitely win the game. Then, the rules of the world will change and we will be able to meet again.”

Even when I thought about it, it was a calm voice.

The man, Victor, is just silent about that.

Surprisingly, Enio got angry.

“Nike, why are you making sacrifices as you please? By dying for Victor, he will be remembered for the rest of his life. It’s disgusting. Godmother Medea, does that role have to be carried out only by a certain person?”

In response to Enio’s question, Medea shook her head.

“That’s not necessarily true. It’s a black-haired witch. From the looks of it, she appears to have been a vessel to contain God. “You, too, are worthy enough to be the sacrifice that opens the crack.”

“Then—!”

Enio shouted as if he was somehow happy.

Then Akasha asked.

“Godmother of witches, what about me? “Am I qualified to become that shaman too?”

“You are not there.”

“I feel bad for some reason. “I think it’s an unpleasant story from the beginning, with sacrifice and all.”

Sseukseu-.

It was when Akasha shook her head.

Victor, who had been silent for a long time, opened his lips.

* * *

“I will give up.”

I said.

“The story about the World Tree Shaman will be completely discarded from our plans. “It’s a boring story that you have to sacrifice one person to progress the story.”

Then Nike trembled.

“I-I don’t want Viktor to give up his dream because of me! Victor said he wanted to have a harem. “I said I wanted to do healing or something!”

Rumbling-.

Nike started to cry.

Nike crying loudly.

“I will sacrifice myself for Victor! Instead, come visit my grave every day! I want you to sing in front of my grave three times a day, morning and evening! “Tell me you love me eight times a day!”

“Why do you keep making sacrifices?”

Enio grows at Nike.

However, I didn’t really like this sight.

It’s just my feeling.

This was clearly the official DLC story line of the game D&A.

Because it’s just that it’s old-fashioned.

It’s an inevitable sacrifice and all.

This type of new drama may be standard, but it is too old.

It seems that the sensibilities of the creators and gods of this Ludens play are not keeping up with the times.

“It’s not surprising now.”

Actually, there were quite a few stories in D&A that I didn’t like.

Since it was a game that came out a long time ago, there were many places that were considered far-fetched, absurd, and unreasonable when viewed from today’s sensibilities.

Moreover, D&A is not a game with a high degree of freedom, but because you have to follow only the given choices, you cannot escape from the ‘path’ that someone has set for you.

However.

“This world is a game, but it is not a game.”

There is no need to follow the options.

If there is no path, just pioneer it.

“We take different paths.”

I expressed my aspirations.

Medea soon snorts happily.

“If it’s a way, we’ve already looked into everything. In order to reach the pantheon, it is essential to open a rift called the World Tree. Just like we did.”

That’s what happens if you follow the rules.

But there’s no law that says players will just follow the rules.

“I have at least three ways. The first is the use of “Console beads.”

“Console beads?”

Nike spoke as if he was very curious.

It must be an unfamiliar name.

I decided to explain briefly.

“It’s a legit game hack.”

Of course, it will be difficult to obtain.

This is because it is related to the reason why Ludens is called a prison academy in the true sense.
