Episode. 2
The room of destiny.
I’ve been here for quite some time.
It felt like a day had passed.

It’s something I did all day long to see the records left behind by the warriors.
This method of speaking out loud and calling out the writings of warriors has also become familiar.
[It has been 26 hours since I entered the ‘Room of Destiny’.]
[Excessive use may interfere with normal daily life.]
The same goes for that message that appears occasionally.
[Would you like to leave the Room of Destiny?]
My answer was always the same.
“No, I won’t go out.”
You may never come here again.
I am not a warrior, but I have the strength of a warrior.
We need to understand their thoughts and situations, and learn the strength of a warrior and how to grow.
But the ‘Room of Destiny’ did not allow me to stay here any longer.
[It is in a dying state.]
[Exit the ‘Room of Destiny’.]
“……what?”
Blink your eyes.
Before I can even ask a question, my vision changes.
* * *
sunlight.
How long has it been since I last saw this sunlight coming from the sun?
I have never seen this sunlight in the three lives I have lived.
Because it started at night and ended at night.
‘… … Where is this?’
Look around.
You can see the mountain that has turned black.
It must have been a wildfire that lasted for days, but the fire is out.
‘Did the castle send a wizard?’
If they didn’t hold me accountable, the inside story didn’t matter.
To head towards the village, I tried to raise my body by putting my hands on the floor.
‘Ugh!’
I feel excruciating pain all over my body.
Look down and examine your body.
You can see the skin burning from the intense heat.
‘It’s strange.’
-The level has increased.
With that message, the body that was dying from the burns was completely healed.
But the skin that was oozing pus was dying from the burns.
‘… … I see. I fell down the mountain and have been lying here ever since.’
I didn’t go to the ‘Room of Destiny’.
I think it was probably close to a sleeping state.
‘But why did you get burned?’
There was still some green grass around here.
The fire didn’t spread this far.
‘You may have felt the heat, but it wouldn’t have been enough to burn you.’
Suddenly, something I saw in the Room of Destiny comes to mind.
“Was he the incarnation of Grimgal?”
As I muttered that, trying to recall my memories, something appeared before my eyes.
[Great Achievement: Incarnation of Grimgal (Fire Resistance -200%, Physical Resistance +50%)]
“… … This is strange.”
According to the message, it said that he had only killed the monster, but had become weak to fire and strong to shock.
Can it be eliminated?
I don’t know.
If I can go to the Room of Destiny, I think I should look for it then.
“… … I have to worry about walking first.”
I feel confused and have no strength in my body.
It wasn’t because of the burn.
It was because of hunger that lasted more than a day.
-Bam!
I was walking unsteadily and fell down.
It’s not easy to get up again.
‘Still, that’s fortunate.’
Someone is running from afar.
It was Mr. Dane, the village carpenter.
“Allen! Are you okay?!”
I didn’t have the energy to respond to that.
Unable to overcome my heavy eyelids, I fell asleep.
* * *
When I opened my eyes, the sun was setting.
Sunset sky.
I raised my upper body and looked around, and Mr. Dane came running towards me.
“Are you awake? Even though it’s hard, eat this first.”
Cold vegetable porridge.
Dane refused the spoon that was offered to him and drank the entire plate.
“Still, I’m glad it seems okay.”
When food enters the stomach, strength is gained.
I said, looking around the tent I was in.
“Where is this place?”
“… … This is our village. That monster swallowed everything up, so there’s nothing left.”
My hometown, which I burned down with my own hands.
“sorry.”
When I say that, Mr. Dane laughs as if he finds it ridiculous.
“You were different from others since you were little.”
“……yes?”
“I thought you’d be a hero like yesterday.”
Mr. Dane continued his story as he headed towards the tent exit.
“Thank you for saving us, Allen.”
It was an unfamiliar feeling.
Although I was left alone in the tent, I didn’t feel lonely.
* * *
By the time I had had enough rest, it was evening and the sun had completely set.
People packing up their belongings at the site of the village.
I asked those people about my younger siblings’ whereabouts.
“Have you seen Croa and Lian?”
“… … Well, I don’t think I’ve seen it?”
If you’re not here, it seems like you’ve arrived in Tallinn safely.
I’m worried about my younger siblings and wondering if they found a good place to sleep in Tallinn.
“Would you mind if I accompany you to Tallinn?”
“Really? It would be great if you could come with me!”
We head out of town with a man who has a broken arm and is wearing a cast.
Heading to Tallinn.
When I suddenly stopped walking there, the man looked at me with a puzzled face.
“… … Did you leave something behind?”
It was invisible to the man’s eyes, but it was clearly visible to mine.
[You cannot escape fate.]
message.
And, a transparent wall blocks my way.
“Ugh!”
I tried to swing my elbow with all my might to break the wall, but it was as if I was hitting water, and I couldn’t make any impact.
“… …Allen?”
The room of destiny.
When I think back to what was written there, I can’t help but mention something related to the warrior.
I speak to the man who is looking at me strangely.
“… … There’s still work to be done. When you get to Tallinn, can you take care of Croa and Lian?”
“That shouldn’t be too difficult. I’ll look into it as soon as I get there.”
A man walks through a transparent wall towards Tallinn.
I chewed over the message that appeared before my eyes.
‘You can’t escape fate?’
Problems related to the strength of the warrior.
I can’t help but think about it alone.
I turn around and look around the village again.
“Oh my, Allen! Are you okay?”
It was the lady who lived next door to me.
He seemed surprised to see my skin oozing pus from the burn.
“This is something that happens often when you live as a palace soldier.”
It was meant as a joke, but the woman’s face became even more pitiful as she felt sorry for her.
“I wish I had come when the priest was here… … .”
“Has the priest come?”
“Yeah, he looked busy, but he checked on everyone in the village. … … I think he was going to Dane Village.”
Dane Village. I remember it.
It is known as a village where people no longer live due to frequent attacks by monsters.
“What are you going to Dane Village for?”
“They said they had to do some kind of investigation. … … Your Majesty, you are so indifferent, sending a young woman alone to a place like that. There must be a lot of bandits there… … .”
I wanted to have my burns healed by the priest, but I had no intention of going all the way to Dane Village.
but.
“Allen, are you worried about that woman too?”
no.
I was worried about that priest, and I wasn’t looking towards the Dane village.
[Your choices change someone’s fate.]
A new message appeared before my eyes.
Isn’t this what they mean by an inescapable fate?
“Because Croa comes first.”
“… … Okay, take good care of your little brother first.”
Nothing is more important than my one and only family, Croa.
Go to a place where people’s eyes cannot see, and take the dagger that Croa gave you.
‘Can’t we get away with this?’
Take a small deep breath and aim the tip of the sword at your heart.
-Phew!
Cold metal penetrates my body.
My legs feel weak and my body feels weak.
– Died from his own attack. [Confirmed]
-Loaded from auto-save. [Confirm]
Open your eyes.
It was a village.
It’s evening time, after the sun has completely set.
We pass the townspeople and head straight towards Tallinn.
[You cannot escape fate.]
‘… …Isn’t it possible even with death?’
A transparent wall blocks my path again.
Turning back again, he asks the townspeople.
“When did the priest leave the village?”
“Probably, he left in the morning. … … Are you thinking of going to Dane Village?”
Turn your gaze to the man’s words.
[Your choices change someone’s fate.]
He says, glancing at the message.
“I’m thinking of stopping by for a bit. When I get to Tallinn, please take good care of Croa and Lian.”
“It’s not difficult. Don’t worry!”
Check your equipment.
A dagger given to me by Croa.
And, collect some jerky from the townspeople.
“… … Let’s go and see.”
I wasn’t afraid of the fate I was forced to endure, I was just annoyed.
Because my life repeats itself.
After some simple preparations, we head to Dane Village.
“This way.”
I know the geography of this place like a glove.
Perhaps the map I drew is more accurate than the one made by the Mercenary Guild.
‘There was a fight.’
Look at the floor.
Using his experience as a scout, he tracks down people’s traces.
As we walk along the grass tracks left by human footsteps, the shape of a person comes into view.
corpse.
It was a hideous looking corpse with wounds all over its body.
‘What kind of weapon is it?’
I carefully examine the man’s body, keeping a close eye on my surroundings.
I didn’t stab him with a sword.
Something as thin as a rapier, sharp and sharp as a blade, stabbed the man’s body without mercy.
‘What is this?’
Examine the man’s bag.
Maps, water jugs, dried food, and all sorts of liquids in small glass bottles.
I didn’t know what was in that vial, but I knew who it was for.
‘This is a potion used by priests.’
The identity of the dead man can be guessed.
A thief who steals other people’s belongings.
‘Did you steal the priest’s bag?’
It was a difficult situation to understand.
It’s not the priest who died, it’s the thief who stole the bag.
Did the priest fight back?
It seemed as if the priest’s backpack was still in the thief’s arms.
‘… …There’s someone nearby.’
As I listened with that conviction, a faint sound was heard.
-Push, push. Push.
The sound of a bush being rustled.
Instinctively, he grabs the dagger and hides behind a tree.
Then, confirm the identity of the person who is making noises heading this way.
‘Undead?’
-Tick tock. Tick tock.
A whole body made up of only bones, without any skin.
It was a skeleton, looking around and hitting its own jawbone.
An undead created by trapping the soul of a dead person in a body that is nothing but bones.
‘Why the undead?’
It wasn’t an uncommon sight around the palace.
Even after 500 years, their remnants still remain.
But it was an unusual sight to see a skeleton wandering around alone without any necromancers around.
‘Is there a necromancer around?’
I didn’t have time to think deeply about that.
The opponent is a skeleton, which can be said to be the weakest of the undead.
If you aim for the skull with a blunt weapon, it is an opponent that can be defeated with a single blow.
But the situation was worst.
Rather than a blunt weapon, what I was holding in my hand was a dagger.
It was a weapon that could only stab and cut, but none of it worked on the skeleton.
-Tick tock. Tick tock.
The guy hasn’t found me yet.
Shouldn’t you just let this pass?
-Slightly.
The guy’s footsteps stopped.
The direction of the footsteps changed.
‘shit…….’
I was looking for my traces as a human on the skeleton theme.
It’s a tremendous intelligence.
The necromancer who created this guy must be quite capable.
-Tick tock. Tick tock.
I wanted to hit the skeleton in the back of the head and crush its skull, but it was impossible with only a dagger and my tattered body.
To fight, you need a proper weapon.
-Push luck.
Even with just a slight movement of the body, the sound of grass swooshing was loud.
-Slightly.
The guy turned his head towards me.
The time to think is over.
Now was the time to act.
I look at the dagger in my right hand.
A dagger that poses no threat to skeletons.
But even if it couldn’t be used as a weapon, it wasn’t useless.
-Tick tock. Tick tock.
He throws a dagger using a tree as a shield.
The dagger flew through the wind, not even hitting the skeleton’s body.
-Push luck.
The dagger passed through the skeleton and the bushes and stuck in the ground.
-Slightly.
The guy’s skull naturally turns to follow the sound.
Now that my head has turned, I leap out of the tree and fly towards ‘it’.
-Slightly.
The skeleton’s head turns towards me again.
The guy is getting closer.
I hurriedly opened the lid of ‘it’.
White potion.
Soldiers, mercenaries, and those ignorant of potions all call it a white potion, like me.
But the palace priest once told me.
This isn’t a potion you can swallow down your throat.
The skeleton extends its sharp hand bones toward me.
But that’s okay.
The priest had said.
They said that what was in this vial was a weapon that could kill the undead.
Pour the liquid from the vial onto the skeleton.
-Cheeee… .
The guy’s bones are gone.
To be exact, it was melting away.
-Shut up, shut up, shut up.
The bones that supported the guy were scattered on the floor, out of place.
After checking the sight out of the corner of his eye, he opened the lid of another white potion.
And sprinkled it over the guy’s skull.
The skeleton’s weak point is its skull.
That meant that as long as the skull was intact, it could be a threat at any time.
“Haa… haa… haa… .”
My physical condition seems to have worsened.
Look around.
All they found was a backpack. In the end, they never found the priest.
‘Did you get attacked by the undead?’
I try hard to deny that possibility.
‘A priest wouldn’t be easily defeated by the undead.’
I take the map out of my backpack and unfold it.
Among the many villages on the map, you will find a place marked with a circle.
‘Dane Village.’
I folded the map and estimated the distance to the village.
‘About 800m.’
It wasn’t that far.
But it was difficult to even take one step.
The burned skin looks serious.
My skin feels like it’s going to die at any moment.
‘If I don’t meet the priest, I might die like this.’
In my case, it’s not about dying, it’s about repeating life.
‘I can only hope that the priest is in Dane’s village.’
I move my legs, which are getting heavier and heavier, with difficulty.
“Haa… haa… haa… .”
I don’t know how long I walked.
Because my nerves were focused on enduring the pain.
The pain was repetitive and I had become accustomed to it, but I was exhausted by the village that I could not see at all.
but.
‘I can see it!’
Finally, the village came into view.
It took quite a long time even though it was a short distance.
But that’s okay.
The important thing was that we arrived.
You can see people guarding the entrance to the village.
[The first path of destiny leads you.]
The townspeople look in my direction.
The look in his eyes was strange.
