[Recorder: Witness to the myth, Suyeon Lee]

The new windows that appeared with the message that Suyeon Lee had finished recording confused my eyes.

I remembered when this message first appeared.

I told my story to Suyeon Lee, and when she heard it, she wrote a record based on what I said.

That’s how the first story was completed.

The human who killed Hephaestus.

And this is the second time.

Perhaps the fact that the message appeared even though I did not deliver it means that, as she said, the entire story was written down in real time within the space of records.

One more new story was added.

Now two.

‘What happens when you write down all ten?’

When I wrote down something that left a special impression, this message always followed.

But that was all.

No reward or additional message appeared.

It was like that until now.

[There is a story that was not recorded.]

[The first SS-class weapon created by humans – Dokmu]

[Spirit Jormungand Ministry]

[The first human to single-handedly close the Abyss]

[God Slayer of the Other World]

[The rewards you will receive later will vary depending on the grade of the story being recorded.]

[Registration is possible through Suyeon Lee, who has the ability to record.]

There was no precise information about what compensation would be provided.

[Success Reward: ??? You are not eligible to view.]

It only said that you are not yet eligible to view it.

Does that mean that if I fill all of those requirements, I will be given that qualification?

‘Are you not going to tell me what happens when I complete everything and fill in all ten?’

The system had no answer.

As always, I will not answer until the conditions are fulfilled.

okay.

I get it.

I will complete it as you wish.

I will first meet the viewing conditions and receive compensation.

‘There must be a reason why I came to the past.’

This system message, the God Slayer, and even the ability to seal the mythical beings I killed into a ‘history book’, a record of the past.

The process was by no means ordinary.

Going back to the past can’t be normal.

Going back to the past without knowing the future.

Who can experience this?

‘I don’t know what you want, but I won’t just be used as you wish.’

I swore that I would no longer live a life where someone would use me.

I looked away from the message.

There won’t be anything to see until it’s completed.

He said there were stories that had not been recorded, but he had no intention of registering them right away.

‘Now the priority is to kill the worshipers of the night monster.’

It is not too late to record after all that has been processed.

It is said that the resulting reward will vary depending on the story you tell, so you should choose carefully what story you tell.

“Mr. Dojin, what’s going on?”

“it’s nothing. I just need to organize my thoughts. Let’s go together now. “There is something I must do before I go to the night monster’s stronghold.”

“Ah, yes!”

Jormungand, whose size had shrunk again, climbed onto my shoulder.

-Your skills have improved since last time. I didn’t know that they would really catch Horus and kill him.

“I was lucky.”

-Luck is also a skill. No, wasn’t it all your ability to induce that luck to have meaning? Setting traps in appropriate places prevents panicked enemies from using their skills, and using seemingly insignificant by-products to create just the right traps.

Jormungand chattered, his vertically slit eyes shining.

Perhaps because he inherited the blood of his curious father, Loki, he was interested in the Horus hunting method I showed him.

-Using Arachne’s spider web to block the sky could be the case. But how did you find that the helmet bug was strong enough to weave the body of a god? Is that also an experience?

“Have you always been this talkative?”

Jormungand was startled by my words.

“Aren’t spiritual things supposed to have a sense of weight?”

-… done. You don’t have to tell me.

“Are you angry?”

-no. You’re angry. I am a giant dragon that surrounds Midgard. I am not a petty snake who gets angry over things like this.

“yes? Of course, the giant dragons of Midgard are not petty, so they won’t get upset if I don’t tell you, right?”

-So you’re saying you won’t tell me?

Jormungand stuck out his tongue twice.

I felt it after we were together for a while.

Sticking out your tongue like that twice meant that you were upset.

Still, the giant dragon of Norse mythology, the protagonist of Ragnarok, is upset that he didn’t tell us even that one thing.

All dignity is dead.

“I just found out while hunting.”

Horseshoe beetles are monsters that surround their prey with their legs and suck out their body fluids. Therefore, when it catches its prey, the inner part of its legs is stronger than anything else in the world so that it can withstand whatever the prey does.

So much so that even a lower-class god cannot escape easily.

-is it? I was curious as to how I found out about it, but it turned out to be nothing more than I thought.

Jormungand stuck out his tongue as if he was bored.

“I’ll tell you the details once I’ve taken care of all the worshipers of the night monster.”

-What can I say as a familiar? I will follow that.

I moved while listening to Jormungand grumbling.

We headed to the outskirts, far away from downtown.

The northeastern part of the city, which has not been properly reconstructed or restored after the war.

Even in ruins that seemed uninhabitable, there were people.

I went inside to avoid the gazes of the residents who were looking at the outsiders with dead eyes.

People were walking unsteadily, wearing tattered clothes and with yellow cloth tied around their arms.

Why do I feel like my soul is missing?

“… “It’s miserable.”

“Most cities that were on the front lines will be like this.”

It wasn’t necessarily a story unique to this city.

Many cities that had not been able to recover from the damage of the Advent were left in ruins and rotting.

This world appears fine on the outside thanks to the help of the gods, but it is festering from the inside.

The appearance of celebrities like gods shining through gorgeous buildings and sparkling electronic billboards.

A god who exposes himself to people in order to raise his status as a god.

However, their appearance was full of contradictions as they did not even pay attention to those who really needed their grace.

That makes it even more disgusting.

This is the salvation they talked about.

The gods, who were supposed to be noble, were abandoning their duties and becoming similar to their creations, humans.

Selfish, arrogant and corrupt beings.

As I was looking at the messed up city, a boy approached me.

“Hey, hey… . Brother, sister… .”

A child with a streak of grime on his face looked up at us and asked.

“I’m hungry. Do you have anything to eat? Well, it’s not for me to eat! My mom is sick… .”

At those words, Suyeon Lee looked at the boy with a sad expression.

“wait for a sec… .”

“Suyeon.”

I stopped Lee Su-yeon from putting down the backpack she was carrying.

“Mr. Dojin?”

“Do not. There will be an accident. You can’t show even the slightest sympathy here. No, you shouldn’t look weak.”

At my words, she looked around.

The eyes of everyone nearby turned to Lee Su-yeon.

The greedy eyes of those who had starved for a long time were shining.

Su-yeon Lee was startled by the life-like gaze and tightened her hand holding the backpack.

“But Dojin, no matter what, my parents are starving…” .”

I immediately grabbed the boy’s wrist.

“Ahh!!! “Let go of this!”

Dangrang.

A blade fell from the screaming boy’s hand.

A crude blade made from ground scrap metal.

However, the tip was sharp enough that it could be used as a weapon.

“If I went close to give him food, he might have attacked me.”

There is a common misunderstanding.

The idea that people who are struggling and poor are only kind.

There are bad people among those who are struggling, and there are also people who try to take advantage of the sympathy of good people.

This kid might be one of them.

“is not it?”

“This is a means to protect my body. If we don’t have something like this here… .”

“Do you think I don’t know?”

“yes?”

I grabbed the boy by the hem of his clothes and lifted him up.

“Mr. Dojin, what are you doing… .”

When the clothes were lifted, a glowstone tattoo was clearly engraved on the boy’s chest.

“As expected, it is a symbol of the night monster.”

“A night monster?”

Lee Su-yeon looked at the boy in surprise.

There was no unique magical energy felt in the tattoos on the kid’s body.

That means they wouldn’t have planted roundworms, which were one of the tools to control believers, in this child’s body.

They wouldn’t have used magic tattoos to manipulate consciousness.

‘That means he engraved it himself.’

I saw a boy.

“Where is the priest of the night monster?”

The face of the boy whose tattoo was discovered was cruelly distorted.

The pitiful expression that called for sympathy disappeared, and he glared at me with a beast-like expression.

It was blatant hostility.

“What are you! Find our priest! “You can never tell me!”

When the boy held in my hand rebelled, the eyes of the people gathered around him also changed.

I feel hostility.

Everyone glared at me for grabbing the boy.

One by one, they took out their hidden weapons.

Iron pipes and pieces of wood that seemed to have been taken from the remains of the building, as well as knives and rusty weapons used in battle.

The villagers who had just been begging for a penny suddenly turned into a band of thieves.

“Did you know?”

Suyeon Lee, who was watching this situation, asked me.

“Even if the gods didn’t care, they would have needed a place to lean on. “The target was apostates operating in the shadows.”

Before the Second Advent, apostates persistently attacked places that God had ignored in this way.

They advertise it as if the gods of this world are real gods.

I was suspicious ever since I entered the broken ruins on the outskirts of the city and saw suspicious cloth tied around my arms and legs.

I had no idea that so many people had already become believers in the night sky.

I saw the darkness in people’s eyes.

An ominous glow that makes the viewer frown.

However, for those who were more desperate than anyone else, the light in their eyes that seemed like the only light was shining.

“This is not a world that needs sympathy from a loaf of bread. “They were driven to the edge to the point where it couldn’t be resolved.”

Rather than falling off a cliff, it is believing in false hope.

Suyeon Lee bit her lip as she looked at those people.

It was a harsh reality for a girl who had longed for mythology in the comfort of a library until now.

“Can’t it change?”

“It won’t change right away. But you won’t know until you see it through to the end.”

As I drew my sword, Jormungand stuck out his tongue on my shoulder and asked:

-Shall I join too?

“no. You must prepare for an unexpected attack from Lee Su-yeon’s shoulder. “There is no need to expose yourself when dealing with the general public.”

-I get it.

After hitting the boy on the back of the neck and knocking him out, I looked at the people.

“Then you will need to cooperate with the investigation.”
