Din.
She was free.
There was nothing that couldn’t come true if she just wished for it.
She is the daughter of the Libringer family?
The Libringer family is one of the eight families that make up the Great Council and is a family with particularly strong power as a descendant of a warrior?
No.
It didn’t matter.
The freedom that Liv Ringer enjoys today was something she could not dare to surpass even when she was the daughter of the Liv Ringer family.
Literally the best of all worlds.
Everything in this world was under her will.
Ceylon.
A new ruler and absolute ruler of the world who brought the Great Council under his control with the power of Ilshin.
It was thanks to the special consideration he gave.
No, it would be correct to say it is to blame.
For Drin, it was not a right or a blessing, but a curse and a yoke.
Ceylon’s twisted attachment to Drin.
And Drin’s twisted contempt for Ceylon.
This was another story of theirs that Ceylon and Drin did not know about.
***
Drin, wearing a black dress prepared by Silon, was ‘processing’ the refreshments prepared by Silon in the room prepared by Silon.
“Miss, would you like to see this?”
In the meantime, he suddenly came without any message.
As always.
He was even holding a human supply in his hand.
“… “You killed someone again.”
Despite the dire situation, Drin did not blink an eye.
This is because it has become an extremely routine thing for them now.
“People? Ha ha ha. As expected, the sheep you gave to me was very kind. Are you a person? “This is an understatement.”
“… “
Drin sipped his tea in silence without even looking at Ceylon.
I had to solve this damn refreshment as quickly as possible so I could get out of here.
“Hmm. This is embarrassing. At this point, you might be wondering, ‘What on earth have they done? ‘The story progresses only if you ask…”
“… “
“The amount you gave?”
“… “
“hahahaha, oh my. Did you end up hating the sheep you gave and throwing it away? I can’t help it. “Since the sheep I gave you won’t deal with me, I’ll have to go find another toy.”
Ceylon said, shaking the supply and demand in his hand.
Drin closed his eyes tightly and gave the reaction he wanted countless times.
“What the hell. Those people. Because what did you do… “
“Hmm? Ah! Ha ha ha! The amount given! You pretended not to, but you were still interested. How come you seem to be getting more gloomy by the day?”
“… “
“Anyway, since you’re so curious, I have no choice but to give you an answer. “These people are none other than Harasin’s direct descendants.”
“… !”
“hahahaha! That look! Oops, the amount I gave was too! You wanted to do it. “How can you regret scolding me and treating me like a murderer who killed a strict person?”
Yes? The amount given.
Starting from those words, the atmosphere in Ceylon changed dramatically.
As his half-opened eyes opened slightly more, he revealed the sharp pupils hidden behind his eyelids.
“Assassin. Warlock. Coexistence with them is absolutely impossible, and for the sake of world peace, they must be eradicated. “Isn’t that what you said?”
“That’s… !”
Drin’s expression, which had been firmly locked, wavered.
And on the contrary, a firm lock was placed on Ceylon’s expression.
“… “
But that is only for a moment.
He has a rude face, as if it’s been a long time since he’s been like that.
As if revealing his true self was a mistake, he immediately puts on a mask of deception and hides his true feelings.
“Anyway, this is a gift for the sheep. “Can you please accept it?”
Ceylon provided supply and demand to Drin.
“… “
Drin accepted it with a complicated expression.
“Although it may be hard to call it a price, there is one thing I would like to ask of you. Would it be okay?”
“… “Can I come visit you tonight?”
“As expected, the amount I gave. The conversation goes well. Hagisa, you probably don’t want to have a long conversation with me. When you talk to me, isn’t it inevitable that you will understand faster than ever before? Ha ha ha! Well then, I’ll stop here. “I’ll see you again later this evening.”
Seylon bowed politely to Drin and then left the place.
“… “
Drin quietly watched Ceylon’s back as he walked away.
Now, when Drin looks at Ceylon, he cannot smile as calmly as he did in the past.
The expression on her face right now is deep contempt.
And, it was a deeper regret than that.
Drin despised Ceylon.
But more than that, she felt guilty toward Ceylon.
“How…?” “
Quite a few years have passed since that incident.
However, she still regrets what happened back then.
If.
If only I hadn’t done that then.
How has my relationship with him changed now?
How did he change?
***
This is a game.
This world is a world in a game.
These people are NPCs in the game.
It was a stream of thought that penetrated Ceylon’s brain from top to bottom.
Ceylon was dominated by that thought, and he had no choice but to treat the world he now lived in as a game.
“Ceylon. Make some time this weekend. Only this time, I will uncover the secrets contained in those desirable deltoid muscles of yours.”
“Ceylon. Let’s just ignore that and go out into the streets with me. “I have a 3:3 meeting, and everyone will be happy if you attend?”
“It sounds like a 3:3 meeting! Do you think Ceylon would like such a promiscuous place!? Ceylon is going to spend time with me this weekend. Right, Ceylon~?”
“hahahahaha. Melhen County. Agion County. Miss Adela. I really appreciate everyone’s suggestions though. Let’s just accept it. “I have some business to take care of this weekend.”
For the same reason, Ceylon kept a complete distance from people.
This is because they were too realistic and vivid to be just NPCs that exist for the player.
As Ceylon interacted with them, he could feel the hint that ‘this is a game’ dominating his thoughts fading away.
It was a serious matter.
It was a necessary hint in order to complete the great task of saving the world.
If this is reality, would you, a mere ordinary person, dare to take on the great task of saving the world?
Just like the words of the ‘Great Will’ that gave him this transcendent power.
‘They are not people.’
‘They are NPCs in the game.’
Ceylon stayed away from them as people and got closer to them as NPCs.
“Ugh-“
“Ugh… !”
Mechanically staying away from heroes.
Mechanically killing the villains.
In this way, the salvation of the world progressed steadily.
With the wear and tear of character.
“Ceylon County?”
But even Ceylon had moments of shakiness.
Forget for a moment that this world is a game world.
The moment you forget that they are just NPCs.
“Hmm? Ah! The amount given. “What’s going on?”
“… “Do you have any concerns?”
“Yes?”
“Honestly, I wouldn’t say I’m the type of person with good sense. I say this because, even to me, the state of Ceylon these days seems somewhat strange. “I apologize for any unnecessary interference.”
It was time to deal with them.
At that time, Ceylon was accelerating the eradication of the Harassin.
Days when not only the direct lineage but also collateral lines that cooperate with Harashin are annihilated.
In those days, Ceylon’s humanity was gradually worn away.
In Drin’s eyes, such a state of Ceylon is so-
It looked dangerous.
And Drin’s intuition was accurate.
In fact, the situation in Ceylon was very precarious.
Ceylon was becoming increasingly reluctant to treat this world as a game and the people of this world as mere NPCs.
I was feeling quite a bit afraid of myself.
Suddenly, I looked in the mirror and saw the sight of him smiling heartily even when he was covered in human blood-
‘Is this really true?’
Drin had read the delusion of Ceylon.
This was absolutely impossible for NPCs who could only do certain actions.
“… “
That moment.
For Ceylon, Drin is no longer just an NPC.
“Ceylon?”
Ceylon thought.
At least.
At least for this person.
I don’t want to be treated like an NPC.
At least with this person.
I want to create relationships between people,
“… !”
“… !? What’s going on!?”
“That tactless person knows that he himself is tactless…” ! If this were to happen, there would be a huge contradiction in Ms. Deen’s character… !”
“… As expected, I was worried for no reason. “I’ll just go now.”
“Ahahahahaha~ I gave it to you. Joke. “It was a joke!”
“Please let go of this.”
“Are you upset~?”
“Honestly, yes. “I don’t feel like talking to the Ceylon Army for a while.”
“hahahahaha, don’t do that. The amount given. “I have an important story to tell you now, so can you please listen to it?”
“What else are you going to talk about?” “
Ceylon was planning to tell everything about himself to Drin.
He thought it was right if he treated Drin as an equal, and he thought that Drin would accept his true self.
He also knows that he is possessed.
He also knows that he is a warlock and an assassin.
Being recognized by Drin.
That was the first step for Ceylon to break away from the implication that ‘this world is a game’.
“The amount given. Actually, I-“
Ceylon took the first step.
“Ceylon County! Did you hear that!?”
But before his feet touched the floor, there was a disturbance.
A group of cadets who were walking around campus with their mouths full of itchiness discovered Ceylon and started talking about how good it was.
“Well! Yesterday, a large-scale massacre occurred in District 1! Does that make sense!? Not in the back alleys, not in District 5, not in District 4, not in District 3, not even in District 2! In that first district! How many times has it been this month already? ! Is security in Eteran okay like this!?”
Shocked.
Ceylon was inwardly embarrassed.
Because the mastermind of the massacre was Ceylon and no one else.
‘Large-scale massacre…’ ‘
Strictly speaking, it was a cleansing of Harasin’s subordinates who had infiltrated the sunny world.
It was clearly part of saving the world.
Ceylon felt quite a bit of injustice.
‘Yes… ?’
And when you find yourself feeling unfair, you are embarrassed.
Why am I feeling unfair?
No matter what they think of me, nothing will change.
That’s right, because they’re just NPCs.
‘Ah.’
Ceylon realized the reason late.
From Noble mtl dot com
Drin.
Because it’s in front of her.
Because she was the one who was going to reveal everything about herself to her.
And the large-scale massacre was an example of fragmentary revelation of the true nature of Ceylon.
Ceylon is at the same time a possessed person possessed by the game-
She was an executioner who drove out darkness through assassination and black magic.
“When I heard about it, they said it was done by Harasin’s assassins – ah, it’s a heinous thing… hmm? Oh! Well, the amount I gave you… ! You were there together – I wonder if we interrupted your conversation!? I’m sorry… !”
While Ceylon is in agony, the intruders leave the place again.
She looked sullenly at them as they ran away from her.
‘Another thing to make fun of for the Ceylon army…’ ‘
Oh!
The amount given!
What if you scare people like that again?
She was so excited that she could clearly see Ceylon making a fuss and making fun of her.
‘Ha.’
I burst out laughing inside.
Drin waited for Ceylon’s next move with a half-desperate look.
She looked somewhat happy.
“The amount given. “What do you think about what they just said?”
“Ceylon County. Let me be clear. “I didn’t pose any threat to them.”
“I’m not saying that.”
“Then what? “Are you trying to say that my very existence is a threat?”
“Large-scale massacre.”
“… Yes?”
Contrary to Drin’s expectations, Ceylon had a serious expression on his face.
“What do you think about the large-scale massacre they just mentioned?”
“… “It’s so sudden.”
Even though Drin was embarrassed, her Ceylon attitude seemed serious, so she also seriously considered the answer.
Her worries did not last long.
“Honestly, there’s nothing else to think about, is there? “Didn’t they just say it was a one-sided massacre by Harasin’s assassin?”
“… What if the victims were also assassins?”
“Yes?”
