I Became the Companion of the Gods - I Became the Companion of the Gods chapter 178
178 – EP.33 Easter Egg-4
My mind is blank.
A dreamy feeling, like waking up from a hazy dream.
‘What was I just doing… ?’
I don’t remember anything.
It feels like it came out after sticking its head out into the abyss for a while.
In a bad mood, I looked down at my sweaty hands.
A glass bead, seemingly taken from the abyss, rested in the palm of my hand.
I have vague memories of it, but it was a gift from someone living in the abyss, and he said it was a marble that would determine my fate.
Originally, it’s a dark item, so I should throw it away, but I couldn’t.
In my dim memory, there was a picture of myself deciding to take this orb.
‘And for some reason, I even feel longing for this marble.’
I thought that if I threw it away carelessly, I would later hit the ground and regret it..
So I decided to keep it in my pocket.
Because someone’s advice to eat when the game is over comes to mind, albeit faintly.
I can’t remember what someone looked like, even though I tried to wrap my head around it, but I strangely remembered what he said.
‘It seems that part of my memory has been erased.’
And the only existence that can make such a thing possible is Shinsoo.
It seems like I just met a new beast, but luckily the beast didn’t hostile to me.
On the contrary, since he even gave me a gift, it must be considered that he was kind.
It was unfortunate in many ways that the identity of Shinsoo could not be known due to the memory being erased.
Still, I lightly brushed off my thoughts about that person and lay down on the bed.
‘If we live anyway, the day will come when we will meet again.’
If it is a Shinsoo related to me, there is a possibility that we will meet again somewhere.
There was no need to doubt it, since it was a logic born from experience.
The only thing that bothered me was the last words someone left.
At the time, I asked him why he was giving me presents, and he replied:
“Because she and I were best friends. Likewise, to her, you were her irreplaceable presence, so as for me, I just want you to remember her.”
The ‘she’ someone mentioned.
I don’t know who the hell she is referring to.
The first person that came to mind was Yata, but it didn’t feel like he was referring to Yata under the circumstances.
Except for Yata, the possibility of other divine beasts was slim, so I couldn’t figure out who the ‘she’ someone was talking about was.
From the beginning, it seemed that the desire to remember was not referring to my companions.
Because there’s no way I’ll ever forget my precious companions.
“Oh, f*ck! I don’t know!”
A situation where you don’t know someone’s identity, who ‘she’ is, or anything else.
I tried to think about it more, but it only gave me a headache, so I gave up.
Anyway, if you eat the glass marbles you received as a gift, the answer will come out.
For now, I just decide to focus on the game and crawl under the covers.
Current time 10 o’clock. It was a little early for me to fall asleep, but my eyes were closed because my body was tired.
Aided by fatigue, I want to enter the abyss again.
***
A vast field. I was standing where I could only see green.
All the grass tilted its head to the left by the wind blowing from the right, and my hair was also shaking by the wind.
But for some reason, I couldn’t feel the coolness.
I carefully pinched my left cheek, but I didn’t feel any pain.
Anyway, this seems to be the world of my dreams.
‘…… It’s been a while since I had a lucid dream again.’
I think the last lucid dream I remember was when I had a conversation with Grandpa Kirin.
Befitting the name of the dream god, Grandpa Giraffe usually comes into my dreams and has conversations with me.
Every time I realize that I am in a dream and it becomes a lucid dream, but this time it was different.
‘I can’t feel the presence of Grandpa Kirin.’
Every time Giraffe Grandpa appears, he has always created the surrounding scenery above the floating clouds.
On the other hand, the landscape where I am now is an ordinary field.
This time it was not a lucid dream caused by Grandpa Kirin.
‘Where the hell is this place?’
Stepping on the rustling grass, we move forward.
Even though it was a field I had never seen before, for some reason I felt as if I had come to my old hometown.
The world in dreams is originally created based on the experience or imagination of the dreamer.
In other words, elements that he has never experienced or imagined cannot appear.
Because dreams are a kind of fantasy created by the brain.
If you have a dream-related ability like Grandpa Kirin, the words will change, but it doesn’t feel artificial.
‘In the end, this scenery I’m looking at now is also a scenery I’ve seen before, whether real or imaginary… ….’
Nothing really came to mind.
It may have been the scenery I happened to see through the window of the train.
I don’t know why such a landscape has been realized as a dream, but at least it was enjoyable to my eyes.
The smell of grass, wind, vast grasslands, and clear skies without a single cloud.
You will naturally smile at the beautiful scenery of nature.
‘If it becomes peaceful later, I want to build a house in a place like this and live with my pets.’
Children running and playing on the field, and their parents watching from the back with a smile as if they couldn’t stop it.
It was the ideal picture I wanted.
I couldn’t have imagined that I would be delusional even in my dreams, but it was a scene that I liked just as much.
The moment when I decided to find out where I was when I woke up and kept moving forward.
I could feel a presence behind me.
The first person you meet in your dreams. When I looked back to see who it really was, there was a woman I had never seen before.
The woman standing far behind me was very beautiful.
A moderate height that is neither tall nor short, light pink hair that falls down to the shoulders, and even an appearance that goes well with a cheerful smile.
She was a woman with such beauty that you couldn’t take your eyes off anything.
However, she also had characteristics that could not be seen as an ordinary woman.
The only fangs protruding from its open mouth, devil-like wings on its back, and a pointed tail split into two halves were not human.
I was able to recognize at once that the identity of the woman was Shinsoo.
I wondered if she was the one who called me here, so I put her on her guard, but she didn’t care about the woman and waved her hand at me vigorously, but then came to me and hugged me.
She was then looking up at me, so she was shouting something with a bright smile.
‘What do you mean?’
She talked to me with joy that women couldn’t control, but her voice didn’t come out.
The current situation is no different from watching a video in a muted state.
I tried to read her words little by little by observing the shape of her mouth.
“Bo… go… I want… Was… Uh… yo. This… ?”
No matter how much I thought about it, it wasn’t something I would say to someone I hadn’t met for the first time.
Maybe I misunderstood the person or misinterpreted it?
However, the woman who was hugging me left without saying a word, and she suddenly started to shed tears.
That time when I was perplexed as to what wrong I had done to her.
“Oh… ?”
I felt that even the tears in my eyes were growing hot.
Even the corners of her eyes became moist and something was running down her cheeks, so it didn’t take long for her to realize that they were tears.
Have I been influenced by the woman crying?
She thought so in her head at the unknown tears, but her heart didn’t.
Emotions that were grievous and sorrowful.
Even though I missed meeting women, I felt insecure that it would disappear if I touched it even a little.
It must have been the first time she had met her, but feeling this kind of feeling made me go crazy.
I feel like my mind and heart are playing separately.
Something I couldn’t control. The moment I was about to go crazy like that, I finally heard a woman’s voice that I hadn’t heard before.
“Master… !”
After that word, all the landscapes I was looking at were dyed black and disappeared.
***
“Ah… ! Ah… !”
I don’t remember anything.
I can’t remember what I just dreamed about.
It was something I had experienced right before I went to sleep, but this time it was different.
If my mind was hazy then, it is clear now. Maybe that’s why a lot of emotions were swirling like crazy right now.
I’m about to shed tears because I’m frustrated and distressed, but I don’t know what made me feel sad.
‘Why… ?’
I hope someone comes out and tells me why.
I don’t think there will be any other wish if anyone is fine so please help me out of this stuffy heart.
But this is a room where no one can enter but me.
Even though I desperately wanted it, there was no way my wish would come true.
In the end, the only way to clear my doubts was to go looking for them myself, so I got out of bed wiping my eyes.
I will meet with Yata and ask her. You may not get the answer you want from her, but as of now, I had no choice but to lean on her.
‘Whoa….’
A door that wasn’t in the room suddenly appeared, which means it’s time to go to school.
Clean up your mind, calmly organize your appearance, and do your best to get ready to go out.
Soon after everything is ready, I grab the new doorknob.
‘Come to think of it, how do I get to school?’
Because of the forced transition by penalty, I don’t know how to go to school.
That’s why I don’t know how to go to school.
Worrying about this and that, I opened the door and saw the front door of the school right away.
I realized that I was worrying for nothing, but even that was for a while, and I couldn’t keep my mouth shut at the school, which was different from yesterday.
The blue sky was stained crimson like blood, and the outer walls of the school were also stained with blood.
And with fragments of mutants scattered all over the place, it was truly a scene from a horror game.
Diring-!
[This is a message from the system administrator.]
[My dear, if you want to meet me, gather your colleagues and come to the deepest part of the laboratory. ‘Cause I’ll be waiting there
[By the way, if you come alone because you are in a hurry, you will experience terrible things, so it would be better to gather your colleagues.]
[Then good job~!]
Is Mi-yeon-si, where the heroine is in the dark and the final boss, a trend these days?
‘…… It can’t be.’
I was tricked by the crow again.
