#Episode 314, Understanding Resentment

Gu Chang-soo was trembled.

Although he had used Han Seongjun’s power before, the experience of asking for power himself and receiving it in return was something new.

‘… … !’

Could it be said that he feels as if he has reached a state of peerlessness?

Anyway, when the energy in my body was so full that it surpassed its natural level, things that were previously invisible began to appear.

With his heightened senses, he realized that among them was the same group that had attacked him at the hotel earlier.

‘also… ! I was right.’

At the time, I thought the interest in my relationship with Han Seong-jun was a somewhat extreme ‘love call’, but I never thought something like this would have happened.

Come to think of it, all the NPCs in Romance 33 were unanimous in their hatred of Han Sang-cheol.

I don’t remember all the sub-quests (each person’s story) related to them, but at first glance, it seemed like there was something like family revenge.

‘and… .’

A completely different story from Romance 33… .

No, reality.

However, their resentment has not improved… .

It was a fact that Gu Chang-soo had already noticed, but the reason that had the greatest influence on the two worlds showing different trends was… ,

It was the existence of Han Seongjun.

Since coming here, players have skipped a lot of the main quests they were supposed to do.

‘So, I guess it starts with [graduates of the Korean Leaf Art School].’

The earliest linked quest in Romance 33.

It is a process of finding clues to access a secret resistance organization that has gone underground while fighting against the tyranny of a general, and at the end of the process, you will form relationships with major NPCs.

However, the real-life players here couldn’t even get to know the major NPCs.

In other words, all the quests that would have been assigned to them after the relationship began have disappeared.

But if Han Seong-jun, who never existed in the first place, is the same as them, wouldn’t it be fair to say that he is the cause of all the changes?

Aside from the possibility that he was not on the list of graduates due to his ridiculous history of suddenly drifting to a professorship while in school, as far as he knew, the general was a person without a family to begin with.

Moreover, against the background of Seoul, which should have been half-ruined,

Even though a general who disappeared for some reason and then reappeared was unable to take control of the Blue House again,

All of them were related to Han Seongjun.

The ability to predict disaster… .

Overwhelming force that seems to monopolize the power… .

‘Even before I explained everything about Romance 33 and the system in detail, Seongjun seemed to know everything.’

I said I heard it from someone else, but looking back, it was more than just a few pieces of information I ‘found out’.

It felt like the last piece of the puzzle that had been missing was finally fitting into place.

Of course, it’s because I didn’t consider Han Seong-jun’s true identity as important… .

‘… Seongjun also experienced romantic comedy 33.’

Maybe he, too, is from the same Earth as himself.

anyway.

If those NPCs knew all of this, their anger would ultimately be that they had neglected their own misfortune even though they had the power to foresee everything and change the future.

If you look at it simply, it may be similar to a feeling of betrayal by someone you believed to be a friend,

Depending on the extent to which the parties interpret it, they may have felt that they were used in a plan or that their fate itself was manipulated.

“… hey. Gu Chang-soo? “Please tell me what you are going to do.”

As if it wasn’t just the available power and spirit that had been amplified, Goo Chang-soo, who instantly saw through the thoughts of Seo Beom-jin and his group, was awakened from his thoughts by the sound of Hong So-hee urging him to answer.

“… “I understand the situation, but it’s none of my business.”

When Gu Chang-soo muttered something absurd, Hong So-hee narrowed her eyes.

“… ?”

“It means that I, who barely escaped pain, can’t compromise my current life just to avenge your grudge.”

“Suddenly, what is that…” .”

Gu Chang-soo continued, cutting off Hong So-hee.

“and. “I can’t stand by and let other people suffer for your own purposes.”

Pot!

At that moment, Yoo Jae-hyun leaped forward and jumped in front of Hong So-hee.

I felt something strange with my animal senses.

Schwak!

Quang!

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chang-soo, who had launched, struck Yoo Jae-hyeon’s torso.

“Oops!”

“Aaaah!”

Hong So-hee was pushed by Yoo Jae-hyeon’s body, which bounced backwards, and fell together.

Seo Beom-jin immediately rushed in as if to cover his fallen colleagues.

Peeing─

A flash-like horizontal slash struck Gu Chang-su.

Cough!

However, Gu Chang-su broke Seo Beom-jin’s blade with a careless blow, as if chasing a flying insect.

“!”

Because it happened so quickly, everyone who was just following it with their eyes was shocked.

“… !”

In particular, Park Dae-geun was astonished as if his eyes would pop out, because Seo Beom-jin, who thought he would have a good time with his son, was already surprised that he had the skills to struggle.

Since he neutralized Seo Beom-jin with just one move, it was impossible to estimate his level.

Seo Beom-jin froze in place.

As confident as I was in my skills, I couldn’t believe what was happening.

It was a sword honed with pride,

It was even more shocking because it was confirmed that each and every one of them was bizarrely effective even against powerful players and Park Dae-geun.

If a follow-up attack had come in, Gu Chang-soo would have been pinned down, but Gu Chang-soo did nothing.

No, I immediately stopped running.

– Until there.

It was because the owner’s voice wanted it.

‘omg!’

Gu Chang-soo was appalled by the discovery of his murderous intentions toward [non-player], but soon made up his mind and protested.

‘S-sorry. But those guys… Sungjun… ‘

First, Seo Beom-jin and his party were potential enemies who held a grudge against Han Seong-jun and his father.

Secondly, there was no evidence of guilt on the player who was captured by them.

‘And I can’t leave that friend alone. That guy isn’t the type to slaughter non-players, he just works hard alone… .’

It was clear just by looking at the ID that the other person was law-abiding.

-It’s the same as having already conquered the player, so it’s up to you whether you save the player or not… , If you tell them what I’m saying, any remaining hostility from them will disappear.

Gu Chang-soo looked around at the audience who were still in shock and nodded.

‘… ah. yes yes. I will tell you. Please speak.’

When Gu Chang-soo announced that he was listening, his vision went dark.

‘100 million!’

My body didn’t listen.

The moment I wondered if something was wrong, a stronger energy than before filled my entire body.

That feeling only belonged to Gu Chang-soo, but the people watching from the other side were also feeling some changes.

It was surprising that his magical power, which felt ominous right away, had been amplified several times, because the black spots in Gu Chang-soo’s eyes had disappeared and even a subtle light was shining.

And Han Seong-jun’s voice, which had only been heard in Gu Chang-soo’s mind, flowed from his mouth.

“A long time. Beomjin. … Hong Sohee and Jaehyun hyung too.”

“!”

“Huh… !”

“This, this… .”

The crowd now woke up from their dazed shock and was shocked.

Not only his classmates who lived together, but also people who had their own relationships with Han Seong-jun, such as Park Dae-geun and Ma Dong-wook, immediately recognized the owner of the voice.

Even people who were not familiar with Han Seong-jun’s voice felt his atmosphere during the catastrophe.

People felt that Han Seong-jun really existed beyond Gu Chang-soo’s heart.

There was no way Gu Chang-soo could have done a vocal imitation during this time, and in the era of supernatural beings, there were very few superhumans who controlled the bodies of subjects with abilities such as necromancy or possession.

“… “Han Seongjun.”

Seo Beom-jin grabbed the handle tightly, forgetting that the sword was broken.

Although his pupils were not visible, Gu Chang-soo’s head moved and his eyes focused on Seo Beom-jin.

“sorry. What kind of times did you have to go through… , So I didn’t even know what to do.”

“That’s terrible… . “Now that you’re suddenly saying things like that-”

“My father just passed away.”

A heavy word thrown over Seo Beom-jin’s words as if chewing them out.

It was a calm voice, but the content it contained was like thunder.

“… !”

“!”

“No way… .”

In fact, the Avengers group, including Seo Beom-jin, did not expect to be able to cut off the heads of their enemies directly even as they started to execute it.

It goes without saying that Han Seong-jun was a monster, but General Han was also an irregular who cannot be described as a monster.

However, since it was unlikely that the difference in rank would be reduced even if they prepared further, perhaps even for a lifetime, they placed significance in carrying out revenge in itself.

To make their enemies face hatred;

Making us see the results of the seeds sown by sin,

So, a reminder of sin.

In the end, I end up taking the lives of the friends I laughed and talked with with my own hands.

Even so, doing the duty of a child,

To end our suffering.

However, if the opportunity arises, it is acceptable to pay for blood.

That was their revenge.

So, for them, Han Sang-cheol’s death was news that was difficult to accept.

Gu Chang-soo, or rather Han Seong-jun, added.

“… He died at the hands of Kang Seon-ho. “Based on what you know, it probably won’t be that shocking.”

“!”

“!”

Seo Beom-jin, Hong So-hee, and Yoo Jae-hyun were surprised.

Because what Han Seong-jun just said meant the development of Romance 33.

This is because, as they guessed, it was a statement that indicated that Han Seong-jun knew the history of the other world called ‘Romance 33’, and at the same time, it clearly showed that they themselves knew that fact.

“anyway… , so I’m not saying you should forget your grudges. “Maybe now your resentment toward me has grown even greater.”

It was just as he said, but Seo Beom-jin did not express it right away.

Anyway, he has now lost his father.

I opened my mouth with my anger a little subdued, perhaps because I unconsciously thought it was causality.

“really… . “Did you know everything?”

“… okay. “I knew everything.”

Jaehyun Yoo bit his lip in anger.

Tears formed in Hong So-hee’s eyes.

Seo Beom-jin closed his eyes with a complicated expression.

“… … .”

“So it’s late, but I’m going to tell you everything.”

“… !”

“!”

“Exactly fifteen days later. Cheongsong… , I guess it’s now a martial arts school. “See you at the school gate.”

With those words, the afterglow disappeared from Gu Changsu’s eyes and his pupils returned.

“… … .”

However, Gu Chang-soo could not react at all for a while.

This was because Gu Chang-soo’s consciousness heard everything that was said through his own mouth.

‘… Me, really? ‘The general passed away?’

***

“okay. Even so, don’t worry about me for no reason. Because the things you say you are careful about may not help me organize my mind any further. … To me, he’s not really dead.』

-… yes. Wow, I understand what you mean.

Just because I can read Gu Chang-soo’s thoughts and share his five senses doesn’t mean he knows my feelings.

Well, it goes without saying that I am the owner and Gu Chang-soo is the contractor.

It seems that while he was trapped in consciousness, uncontrolled sadness and some of his past memories flowed into him.

However, even though I was unconscious, some part of my consciousness retrieved it and erased his memory.

Anyway.

That was the reason Gu Chang-soo, who was connected even on the other side of consciousness, knew nothing about it until now.

I understood the whole situation through Gu Chang-soo’s eyes and thoughts.

Before Gu Chang-soo’s accident caught up with him, he faced the resentment of Seo Beom-jin and his gang.

Thoughts mixed with misunderstandings and facts… .

‘no… , Should I assume there was no misunderstanding?’

I thought about the driving force behind these guys who discovered so many unbelievable facts that made them do incredible, yet uncharacteristic things.

‘plural… .’

It’s only after experiencing that natural feeling that you understand.

Although I was the one who made the distinction between right and wrong in the first place, I felt truly sorry for those guys.

If you think about it deeply, I also felt shallow that even this judgment was for my revenge… .

“okay. “Let’s talk about everything.”

In the end, wasn’t Marduk the culprit of all this?

‘It won’t take long.’

The task my father had been preparing for for a long time was easy for me,

I was able to do what my father could not do.

you were inside me
