My Villains Episode 220

47. Nightmare (2)

The vibration that started at the extremities of the limbs penetrated deep into the body.

As I couldn’t see anything and was concentrating on my senses, the vibration turned into a strange force and lifted me up.

An irresistible feeling of floating, as if a buoy forced into the water is rising above the surface of the water… … .

I was able to instinctively realize that my consciousness was leaving the heavy body and rising.

What I felt upon realizing this was a fear that was difficult to handle.

What happens if you lose your body like this?

Are you wandering around this dark world where you can’t see anything? forever?

If you forever lose the sense you enjoyed while moving your body, and can never return to the world where your body existed… … .

How is that any different from the end of the world?

Even though my mind is clouded, I suddenly feel funny.

Before the realization that ‘losing the body is like the end of the world’, there was the idea that ‘losing the body is the same as death.’ Accordingly, the conclusion that ‘death is the end of the world’ naturally followed.

So what kind of stupid thing was I doing? Are you afraid of the end of the world and risk your life to prevent it?

If you wander through the crossroads of life and death to save the world and take a wrong step and end up dead, wouldn’t that be hastening the end?

Even if the dark world engulfs the present world one day, the only thing I will experience will be death at best. Wouldn’t it be better to live comfortably in a place where there is no danger?

Well then, where?

… … Well, although Lavalton is my manor, it’s an unfamiliar place and it’s a bit too rural, so South Harbor would be better. You can serve as a hanryang at the inn in Baetgo-dong… … No, no. I’m going to use the money I’ve saved to open a store nearby.

I’m going to bring in a lot of employees to look at the store, and I’m going to take Ellen, Mungchi, and Daria out to play.

And when Ellen gets a few years older, they get married. It’s a world where it’s okay to have multiple wives, so I’ll take Moongchi and Daria as her wives, and when Baron Mallory dies, I’ll take Dionea from Longville as well. If I get the chance, I’ll also bring Atalanta.

Wow, I have five wives. If you put your mind to it, you could make a soccer team, right?

… … Oh, no. You know the end is coming, but you’re giving birth to a child. What a shameful thing that is.

It would be better to just live happily with my wives and die cleanly.

While I was continuing that delusion, the sensation that was conveyed to my consciousness changed.

The feeling of floating upward disappears, and you feel a force pulling you left and right.

… … Uh, uh, Xpal, what is this?

The workforce became stronger in an instant.

Afterwards, I felt terrible pain as if my limbs were being torn apart, and I screamed at the top of my lungs.

But I had no limbs to tear, no throat to vomit blood, and no mouth to scream, so my screams only echoed within the world of consciousness.

Just like that, I was split in half like a boiled egg or a ripe fruit. Something as precious as the body, no, more precious than the body, was about half gone.

I screamed silently and suddenly felt gravity. It feels like an invisible hand is grabbing my crotch and pulling it.

A dizzying sensation as if a roller coaster that had been slowly ascending the track was falling down a steep slope.

At the end of that fall, I landed in a body I longed for, having lost something precious.

Flash. Flash.

By the time I came to my senses.

I can hear my eyelids falling up and down. The surrounding area is so quiet that even the smallest sounds can be heard clearly.

Next, the smell of alcohol and medicine filled my nose.

I blinked three or four more times to gather my clouded mind and finally began to see clearly.

Looking up at that unfamiliar ceiling,

“… … “X-arm, what is it?” Cursing comes out of embarrassment.

What hung from the ceiling was not an iron chandelier, candles, or oil-filled lanterns.

It was a daylight LED light.

“Huh o” –9

I immediately stood up as if I had been struck by lightning.

The bed, which had a thick mattress, a large head, and low railings, rattled loudly. The white cotton blanket was crumpled and spilled to the floor.

Confusion soon turned into caution. My loose body was pulled taut, and my dull senses were sharpened.

I quickly glanced around the room, ready for battle.

Luxurious wallpaper with geometric patterns engraved in gold on a dark gray background, an ivory nightstand and a lamp with a pure white shade, a front window that fills one wall and neatly tied light green curtains, a thin and large TV, an air purifier, an air conditioner, and a black grand piano. … … .

“Crazy, what is this?”

As I was going to the front window to look outside, I heard a ‘crash’ sound from behind.

“Tsk“’’

I quickly turned around and saw an IV stick with wheels lying face down on the bed. Only then did I discover the transparent rubber tube extending from the IV pole to my arm.

With trembling hands, I pulled out the syringe stuck in my elbow.

From the clear water droplets that splattered there, a pungent but sweet… … A strange smell spread out.

“… … Ha, huh.” My head hurts like it’s going to explode, and I feel like I’m going to lose my breath at any moment.

The pungent smell of the syringe, the hospital room that looked like it had been renovated from a hotel, the front window looking out onto the grassy yard and high wall, and the grand piano that made a beautiful sound.

My head and chest were pressed down.

Fortunately, my condition quickly recovered after I sat down on the bed and took a deep breath.

Looking around the room again, I saw that it was a spacious and luxurious bedroom that was probably over 15 pyeong in size.

With all kinds of home appliances and a modern interior like this, no matter how much you think about it, it’s hard to believe it’s in Middle World.

… … What kind of situation is this?

I clearly remember sitting on the white throne, but why did I suddenly wake up in a place like this?

“I’m going back, really.”

Not only did this room itself feel out of place, but the fact that it didn’t feel like it was popular at all was also bizarre.

In the wide yard seen through the window, fresh grass was swaying gently in the wind, and there was not a single person in sight.

All that could be seen beyond the high wall were broad-leafed trees and mountains.

“It looks like Korea.”

Probably right. The logos engraved on electronic products were familiar, and the mountains in the distance gave off a somewhat familiar feeling.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Is this really possible?

A thought suddenly crossed my mind and I jumped up. Then she ran to the bathroom next to the door leading out into the hallway.

… … But how do you know this is the bathroom? I guess it’s because it has a similar structure to a hospital room?

Take a moment to think about random things.

When I looked into the clean mirror in the bathroom, my confusion grew.

“OMG

What I saw beyond the mirror was a large man wearing neat gray clothes.

This means that it was not Kim Seung-su, who was 173 centimeters tall and weighed less than 70 kilograms, but Poynix, a blood knight who was about 20 centimeters taller and about 30 kilograms heavier.

“••••♦•Phew.”

For a moment, I imagined that the time I spent adventuring as Poynix was all a dream and that I had now woken up and returned as Kim Seung-su, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

Strangely enough, I felt more relieved than disappointed. Did I, without realizing it, feel quite attached to my life as Phoenix rather than my life as Kim Seung-su?

As I turn on the water and wash my face, I burst into laughter. Poynix, the blood knight who washes his face in the bathroom.

“Ha, this is a hit. “Is this a dream?” As I cool my head with cold water, my confusion subsides.

Not only Hrunting, but all other weapons such as the dragon slayer’s seal, the Death King’s scale handcuffs, and the scale belt had all disappeared, leaving him bare-handed… … .

Still, my mind was very calm.

It’s thanks to the confidence that I won’t be in any danger once I get my body back, whether it’s in Korea or in my dreams.

I looked around the room again and pulled the stainless steel pillar of the Ringel stand out of the wheel frame. And by removing the sap holder at the top, a weapon that was thin and light but strong enough to kill a person was completed.

As I was about to leave the door with the stainless steel rod, an ominous sense of déjà vu that I could not explain in words grabbed my ankle.

“Whoa-”

I took a deep breath and brought up my energy. The blood filled with her magical energy circulated throughout her body, revitalizing her and at the same time showing that there was nothing wrong.

As the slight hesitation disappeared like melting snow, I immediately opened the door.

The silver doorknob turned gently. The hinges barely made a sound, as if they had been oiled.

A wide and long hallway spread out before my eyes.

It had a soft floor meticulously laid with checkered carpet, a high ceiling with acrylic lighting, and a long stretch of dark gray wallpaper.

There was nothing that stood out, except that there were about a dozen wooden doors with original patterns lined up in a row, similar to the one on my door.

It was a cozy hallway.

For a moment, I thought about raising my voice across the hallway extending to the left, but I quickly gave up the idea.

‘hey! Is there anyone there-?’ My instincts wouldn’t allow me to say something stupid like that. Perhaps it was because the strange silence spread everywhere stimulated my vigilance to the fullest.

I swallowed all the saliva and flesh in my mouth at once and walked quietly.

Wearing nothing but weightless gray clothes, bare feet, and a soft carpet on the floor. Perhaps the long-haired sheep I am hunting will be louder than I am now.

I moved secretly and looked from the right hallway. All I could see was my room, the last room in this hallway, and the only thing I could see was the passage leading to the terrace.

Separating the terrace from the hallway was a glass door with a white wooden frame.

Beyond that, I could see empty tables and chairs, neatly shaped railings, a high wall, and a grassy yard.

Judging by the front window and this terrace I saw earlier, it seems to be around the 3rd or 4th floor.

Rattling.

I carefully turned the doorknob, but it was locked.

Hmm, it seems like I can break it by twisting it forcibly… … . I think it would be better not to do that now.

Next, I headed to the hallway on the left.

I kept my ears pricked as I walked, but I couldn’t hear any sound even after passing the fifth door.

It rattled.

– I heard it.

The sound of something moving. Judging from the faint sound it made, it seems like there is some distance between them.

“… “good.”

Let’s take a look and see what’s there.

I walked a little faster while holding the stainless steel bar.

Thanks to the combination of my light body, calloused bare feet, and soft carpet, I made no sound while moving almost like running.

I reached the end of the hallway, but instead of seeing stairs, I saw a corner.

Crazy, how many rooms are there? If the rattling sound had ended all at once, it would have been a little confusing as to where it came from, but the unknown sound continued to be heard at regular intervals.

When I reached the fourteenth room, I heard another rattling sound.

Here it is.

After taking a quick look around, I put my ear to the wooden door.

“Ugh, uh-”

A frustrated breathing sound. It belonged to a man.

The man in the room was out of breath.

‘Sigh!’ He let out an involuntary groan, and every time he did so, a rattling sound was heard.

What on earth are you doing making that noise? My imagination explodes… … .

After hesitating for a moment, I placed my hand on the silver door handle. And very slowly, making no sound, I opened the fourteenth door.

The fourteenth room had a similar overall atmosphere to the one I was in, but was so small that it was less than half the size.

There was no air purifier or grand piano, and the bed the man was sleeping on was a single bed, much smaller than the one I was lying on.

“Ugh, huh!”

The man didn’t seem to notice me. Because he was wearing an eyepatch.

No, it wasn’t just the eye patch.

He was wearing a rope-shaped muzzle and a straitjacket with long sleeves, and was tied to a belt-like cord and attached to the bed.

The rattling I heard was the sound he made as he shook his body and moved the bed.

I was observing this person, wondering what he was doing lying here, but his sharp face and thin but stocky body seemed so familiar… … .

Quickly go over and take off the blindfold and muzzle.

“••••••call?”

“Huh, Po, Poynix?”

“What are you? “Why are you here?”

Archer Kol gasped with a confused expression. Meanwhile, his eyes were constantly blinking and looking in all directions, as if trying to adapt to the fluorescent light.

“Where is it?”

“I don’t know either. “I even remember sitting on the throne, but no, I’ll let you off the hook first.”

While saying that, I quickly unbuckled the restraint rope, but Cole opened his mouth with an urgent look on his face.

“Where are the others?”

“… … “Others?”

“After Phoenix sat on the throne, something strange happened. “Kelsen deceived us.”

Uh, Mr. Something is ominous.

“Strange, what happened?”

“A black disk came out of the throne, and it tried to devour Phoenix. “While trying to stop it, others, including myself, got caught up in it.”

“Others, who?”

When I heard the names called by Cole – Ellen, Utequai, Munchi, and Hayla – I covered my face.
