The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

113 – Round 2

A demon king trying to evolve into a demon god.

Rumi, the hero who tries to stop this.

It was a structure that was nothing special as it was a structure that commonly appears in novels.

Rather, when I heard this common structure, I couldn’t help but have one question.

– Then what on earth is the goddess doing? The question.

According to the original novel, a warrior is a being created by a ‘goddess.’

He was said to be an ‘ideal being’ created by distorting the rules of the world solely to defeat the Demon King.

‘That’s why a warrior is upright and strong… In a word, it was described as being like the sun of the world.’

Contrary to such expressions, the existence of Rumi is similar to a rat in a dark sewer, let alone the sun.

I had no self-esteem at all and was depressed because I didn’t even receive the slightest affection.

He only possessed vague talents to even be considered a warrior.

‘So even though he was the main character in the novel, I never thought that this guy was a hero.’

Of course, I may have missed out on countless goodies…

Even taking this into account, Rumi felt somewhat foreign to being called a warrior.

‘So I couldn’t help but have one question.’

The question was, what on earth did the goddess who created warriors during these days?

‘No matter how much the main character is a hero, a helper character is bound to appear at some point to help the hero.’

If there is no helper, Rumi’s personal abilities must be outstanding.

The only helper is Espin… And it’s only Espin that helps on a conditional basis.

Her ability was also ranked first at the academy, but she simply had insufficient abilities to deal with the Heavenly God Church and other people.

‘Of course, there is room for growth.’

You can only grow if you are in a situation where you can grow to a certain extent.

Because of Ariel’s rooftop assault incident that appears at the beginning of the original novel.

He suffered a major injury and suffered throughout the early and mid-aughts, showing that he was not even able to properly follow his schedule, let alone grow.

‘So at first she thought that the goddess had abandoned this world.’

If she was going to throw it away in the first place, she wouldn’t have created a hero, so I decided that wasn’t the case.

So why on earth did this situation come to be? I’ve had this question for a long time.

She was finally able to discover the answer to that question.

“… “

The moment you open the door, enormous divine power surrounds the surroundings and swirls like the wind.

I am a man sleeping peacefully before my eyes…

Or, to be precise, I laughed out loud while looking at ‘me’.

‘Ha, fuck.’

I don’t know what kind of joke this is.

In the real world, I was sleeping there in this world.

‘What kind of joke is this?’

I tried to reach out, thinking I had no idea why I was here.

Luna is started and speaks urgently to me.

[Master, it’s dangerous to touch it, so don’t touch it!]

“What… ?”

When I looked at Luna to see what that meant, she blinked her eyes and spoke to me.

[… ] ] The power it contains is so powerful! Twice as much as my master.]

I had already expected that there would be someone stronger than me.

I frowned, thinking that it was so unexpected that I didn’t know it was me.

‘What kind of situation is this?’

No matter how much I think about it, I can’t come up with an answer, and my mind gradually becomes more and more twisted like a tangled thread.

I was leaning against the wall, pressing my forehead against an oncoming headache.

Luna pats my clothes and continues her story.

[Wouldn’t you be able to figure it out by looking at the scroll I brought earlier?]

… Now that I think about it, there it was.

I slowly nodded at her words and grabbed the scroll I received earlier.

‘I don’t know if the reason is written here.’

I thought it would be a good idea to check it out first, so I opened it and saw something that I couldn’t just laugh at.

[Sacrifice the counterfeit Rumi to complete the real thing.]

… Counterfeit product?

An imitation is a false product made by imitating the genuine product.

I was momentarily speechless at those words and came up with a guess.

There is speculation that it may have been the goddess’s intention for Rumi to suffer and collapse like this.

‘Does that mean Rumi was deliberately used as a scapegoat to protect the true hero?’

Otherwise, there would be no way such a sentence would have been written.

With that conclusion in mind, I stared blankly at the reality lying in front of me.

My hair has turned completely white, probably due to the ravages of time, and my entire body is covered in scars, so there is nothing right about me.

Because so many things have changed.

It felt strange because it seemed to have brought me from the future rather than the present, but it was an undeniable fact that this was me.

‘… What on earth is this?’

My mind became complicated because everything was full of questions.

Since I couldn’t just keep covering my head, I decided to sort out the current situation first.

‘Based on the context, I think the real hero means me.’

Even if this is true, why did you leave my body, a warrior, lying there?

Has he been possessed by ‘Dern’s’ body?

‘If I can send my real body, wouldn’t I need to do something like possession?’

But why did they go through the trouble of possessing Dern’s body?

Unfortunately, there was no information about this part, so I was about to fold the scroll to check if there was any other information.

I was able to discover a strange flow of mana flowing at the end of the scroll.

‘Is something hidden?’

I scratched that part with my fingernail just to be sure.

A piece of paper falls down and lands on the top of my foot.

When I looked for something, I found that there was information written there that could answer the questions I had previously thought of.

*-*

[1st round – failure]

Reason: Death

* Return price – Possession of memories, body, and the most hated object.

[2nd round – in progress]

*-*

‘Second round?’

At those words, I looked at my real body lying silently and closed my eyes tightly.

If it is as written on this paper, I am.

It seemed like they had already failed, and instead of getting everything back, a lot of things were taken away.

‘… No way. Is this why my magical talent was outstanding from the beginning?’

I looked away, thinking that what I had done in the first round had been carried over and that I was able to move forward so easily.

‘I have no idea where to start.’

I’m leaning against the wall again, feeling a headache coming on quickly.

Luna shakes me and speaks urgently.

[Someone is coming this way!]

The Celestial Church has been caught, so the one coming is probably Ember.

I shook myself off and got up, thinking that it was actually better.

‘I have no choice but to confirm.’

I don’t know how much knowledge Amber has.

I decided to steal all the information that could be extracted and called Amber who was coming inside.

“Ember.”

At such a word, Amber started, shaking his body her.

Soon, he looked back and forth between me and my real body with an expression that couldn’t be adjusted, and then he spoke in an urgent voice.

“Oh, no, that’s it.”

Judging by the way he was embarrassed, he seemed to have known about this to some extent.

‘But if you look at what I said when I first came here, why did you come?’

It seems like he didn’t know that I was possessed by Dern.

I spoke to Amber, thinking that she seemed to have somewhat sparse information.

“Tell me everything you know. If not… “

I unleashed magic with one hand and issued an ultimatum.

“It goes without saying that I will destroy the entire Welcome Library as well.”

Amber could not come to her senses and fell down, perhaps because the savior had suddenly turned into an aggressor.

I spoke to Amber as if urging her on.

“Say it right away.”

At those command-like words, Amber hiccuped and then slowly opened her mouth.

“W-this place… To the place where the true warrior sleeps. A place created to perfect the hero… Yes.”

“To complete it?”

“… Yes. The goal is to refine the information and experiences sold by customers and provide them to real warriors.”

So you were collecting information and experiences.

I looked at ‘me’ sleeping and thought for a moment, then pointed to it and spoke.

“Is this guy alive?”

In response to that question, Amber once again shakes her body like an aspen and speaks to me.

“Mo, I don’t know. The body seems to be alive, but there is no soul… “It’s difficult to even say that I’m alive.”

At those words, I looked at my body in silence, then sighed and thought.

‘I’m going to be amazed.’

Then I can’t even figure out what’s going on.

I sat down in my chair, thinking that I didn’t know if I would be able to return to my original body when I defeated the Demon King, or if I would even be able to return to Earth.

Then, after thinking about it for a while, I spoke to Amber again.

“Why did the real hero fail in the first round?”

Amber was conflicted about that question, but then she slowly opened her mouth.
