A story about a max level player’s 100th return, Episode 35

35. Feeling

‘What does this feel like?’

Ryumin felt an alien energy while moving at the speed of light.

It was an energy I had felt once before.

‘I feel like my strength has increased.’

I felt this way when my other self died in Seo A-rin’s world line.

‘for a moment. What if I die… … ?’

Ryumin hurriedly ran away.

The person I am looking for is none other than myself.

He was Ryumin, living in the democratic world line.

‘doesn’t exist. No matter how hard I search with the speed of light runes, there is nothing.’

I’m sure there was another version of myself living somewhere, but I couldn’t find it.

Ryu Min had no choice but to find Min Ju-ri.

“Minju-ri.”

“Oh, surprise!”

A sudden call from behind makes Min Joo-ri startle as if she had seen a ghost.

After all, who wouldn’t be surprised when someone suddenly comes to an empty room and calls their name?

“Ryumin… … ? “This is the 10th floor. How did you get in?”

“That’s right, I opened the window and flew in.”

“How do you know about my house?”

“That’s not important now. “Would you like to contact me in this world?”

“huh?”

Min-ri Min knew very well that her opponent was the original Ryu-min.

How can you think of another Ryumin when you break into the 10th floor apartment through a window?

However, it was unexpected that the original Ryumin would find the imitation Ryumin.

“hurry. “It’s urgent.”

“Ah Okay. “I’ll contact you.”

Min Joo-ri deliberately blocked his contact without even reading his text.

It would be strange if I contacted him now, but since it was urgent, I called first.

“… … “Why don’t you accept it?”

“Don’t you accept it? “Then, let’s go home.”

“Min’s home? I don’t even know my home address… … .”

“Then where should we go? “A place where the Ryumin of this world would be.”

“Umm… … ah! I have one. “Because I said I was running a business.”

“business?”

I’m running my own business.

It’s probably not just about making money.

‘Did you have fun with business?’

Whatever it is, we need to find Ryumin immediately.

“I’ll try searching on the Internet. “Because I know the name of the business.”

Minjoo-ri went to the portal site and searched for the name.

Then, I came across an amazing article on the main screen.

“Min-ah! Look at this.”

[trot! Why the lightning in the dry sky?]

└Around 10 a.m. on Sunday, a report came in that lightning had struck in the middle of downtown Seoul. As a result of the police investigation, it was determined that lightning struck the roof of a central commercial building in Seongsu-dong, and one death was confirmed. Regarding this, the police are investigating the exact circumstances… … .

It is said that lightning struck the center of Seongsu-dong, Seoul.

As a result, deaths occurred.

It was surprising, but Ryu Min thought that the deceased person might be the Ryu Min they were looking for.

“Seongsu-dong? “Is Ryumin’s workplace here?”

“wait for a sec. I’ll look for it. Oh, I see?”

It’s hard to believe that lightning struck in the neighborhood where Ryu Min works.

There were many suspicious aspects to it being a coincidence.

“Min-ah. This could be a fatality… … .”

“okay. “I think he might be the Ryumin of this world.”

“what?”

Min Joo-ri, surprised, covered her mouth.

Even though she didn’t say it, she actually refused to confess.

Because he realized that the person he loved was the original Ryumin here.

But that didn’t mean he wanted Mojo Ryumin to die.

“Oh, no, right? The person who died after being struck by lightning was not Ryumin… … ?”

“It’s just a guess, but there’s a high probability that he was struck by lightning. “Just a little while ago, Deorant turned on the light in his eyes and looked for me, saying he was going to kill me.”

“uh? Deolant is a dimensional god, right? “You’ve already met that being?”

“huh. When I saw him in person, he was quite a strong guy. There is no chance of winning at my level now. So I ran away and the guy got mad. “After seeing me kill Host and Cid.”

“The reason why lightning fell from the sky… … .”

Ryu Min revealed the truth.

“that’s right. It’s a dimensional god thing. “I think he mistook it for me and attacked Ryumin of this world.”

“ah… … .”

Ryumin felt somewhat sorry.

Even though he is himself, isn’t he a life that used to live here?

‘Because of me, Ryumin of this world, who was close to Minjoo-ri, died. ‘It’s still just a guess, though.’

However, the speculation was soon confirmed as fact.

-Juri’s older sister… … What should I do? My brother said… … I heard there was an accident while on the rooftop… … .

I received a call from my younger brother saying that Ryu Min’s funeral would be held.

Minjoo-ri, who hung up the call, could not help but be shocked.

“I can’t believe it was true… … .”

“Are you still in contact with Won?”

“… … She recently reconnected with Min when she met him. But I never thought it would happen like this… … .”

Sadness welled up, but reality did not hit me.

How could Ryu Min’s death be felt when there was a man with the same face in front of him?

At this moment when Min-ri Min was feeling sad, the real Ryu-min was lost in other thoughts.

‘I really am dead in this world. It must have been the deolant’s doing. They thought it was me and killed me. So then the reason my strength increased… … ‘Is it because I myself died?’

Ryu Min had a hypothesis.

I wonder if my strength has increased because I died.

With that hypothesis, I looked for Ryumin in this world, and sure enough, he was dead.

By a lightning strike believed to have been caused by deolant.

‘It was like that in Seo A-rin’s world line. Before I left, my strength increased a little.’

What do Seo A-rin’s world line have in common with this place?

The point was that Ryumin, who had the same face, was dead.

‘I need to find out more about what happened.’

It would have been frustrating if I was alone, but fortunately there was someone I could ask about this.

-Chronos.

-What’s going on?

-I have a question.

-Hmph, you only find it when you need it.

-Just answer me. Otherwise, I will destroy it.

-… … What is that?

-I myself in another world line died. Then my strength increased, but I don’t know why this happened? Because I want to know you.

-Hmm… … When the same person died, his strength increased? What exactly is the power increase?

-It feels like the Terra has increased compared to before. Even so, it is less than 1%.

-Terra has risen? Does that mean there is room left to further increase spiritual power? … ?

-Is there something you can point out?

Kronos, who was silent for a moment, continued.

-It seems like the power that was taken away from you has returned.

-What are you talking about?

-When a world line is copied, the original is required. In the process, some of the energy of the original organism is mixed. Even though it is only a sample, the expansion of the world line takes place based on that reference.

-Say it in a more understandable way.

-So, since the copied world lines were created based on the data of the original, they have the power of the original, even if only slightly. When you die, the power comes in because of your instinct to belong.

In other words, when Ryumin from another world dies, his power comes to him.

It was an amazing story.

If this is true, it means that the power can be increased further.

‘If I can increase my strength compared to now, I can even fight against deolant.’

There was a breakthrough, but it was not without problems.

After all, there was a prerequisite that Ryumin from another world line would have to die to gain strength.

‘I’m embarrassed. Why not visit me in another world and kill me to increase my power… … .’

As I thought about it, a curiosity suddenly arose.

-wait for a sec. Come to think of it, there was a world line that was already destroyed, right? Ryumin must have been there too, so why didn’t he get any power?

-You cannot absorb power even if you are dead beyond the dimension. At least they have to be on the same world line to absorb it, right?

-ah… … Was it something like that?

This was the reason why power was absorbed only from Seo A-rin’s world line and Minjoo-ri’s world line.

Because the original Ryumin and the imitation Ryumin coexisted in the same dimension.

‘First of all, it’s not a bad situation. I also thought of a way to counter Deorant.’

After coming up with a plan to some extent, Ryumin prepared to leave.

The work to be done in the democratic world line is over.

“I have to go now.”

“uh? Are you going? “Where?”

“To the original world line.”

Minjoo-ri was visibly embarrassed by those words.

I can’t hide the disappointment on my face.

“… … Are you going back already? “They said we need to find a host and a seed.”

“I already found them and killed them all. “Your worldline is safe now.”

“Well, I see… … .”

Min Joo-ri, who was at a loss for words for a moment, asked a question in an attempt to somehow catch him.

“Well, then, what are you going to do now? How are you going to stop the god of that dimension?”

“One way came to mind, but I don’t know if it will work. First, I plan to go back to the original world line and check.”

“What are you checking?”

“Are there any changes in your memory?”

“memory… … ?”

Minjoo-ri shook her head as if she didn’t know what was going on, but there was no time to explain now.

“I’m really going now.”

“Yes, yes.”

“Please take good care of our circle. “I might feel bad about my brother’s death.”

“ah… … okay. “I will take good care of you.”

When Ryu Min turned his back, Min Ju-ri stopped him.

“excuse me… … !”

“don’t worry.”

“… … !”

As if he had already read my thoughts, Ryumin spoke without even turning his head.

“I will come back safely.”

* * *

When Ryumin was dealing with Deorant’s minions, the 102nd world line he named was in chaos.

[Puzzle of memories that came to mind one day, public confusion over common keywords such as ‘player’, ‘survival game’, and ‘wish’.]

[Memories in survival games, concerns over increasing public anxiety and fear.]

[The Great Depression caused by the memory injection phenomenon… … Currently, not only Korea but the entire world is in emergency.]

[‘I killed someone?’ Finally, there are symptoms of memory loss… … .]

Unlike other world lines, no one here has ever been a player.

A world where survival games themselves did not exist.

One day in such a world, angels, survival games, players, murders, wishes, rounds, etc.

Incredible memories were vividly instilled in me.

People who died early lost their memories in the early rounds, while people who survived longer remembered more rounds.

The entire world was in confusion due to a clash of memories.

but.

‘What’s happening? ‘You all have memories of survival games like me, right?’

Hwang Yong-min actually enjoyed this situation.

Because he didn’t have to be treated like a mental patient.

And above all.

“When my mind is confused like this, it’s a good time to take a dump.”

If you commit a crime under the pretext of being mentally deranged, you will be able to avoid punishment even if you are caught.

It’s like I have some kind of excuse.

With that in mind, Hwang Yong-min put on work gloves and a mask.

Afterwards, I picked up a large stone the size of my head.

With this, I planned to break the window as quickly as possible and rob the jewelry store.

“Then let’s get started… … .”

“Put that down.”

At that moment, I got goosebumps at the sound I heard behind me.

Hwang Yong-min turned his head and dropped the stone in surprise.

“Well, the black scythe… … !”

“You should call me Ryumin.”

Ryumin, who had returned to the original world line, was standing there smiling.
