245. Normal person
“{All I remember is...}”
The Black Beast spoke slowly.
I don’t know why, but somehow I’m stuck under the sofa.
“{I lost my consciousness as I was crushed by the garbage that fell from the ceiling, but when I opened my eyes again, this time I saw that a building was falling from the ceiling and there was a child under it.}” “{Then you rushed to save the child.}” “{That’s
right
. Then it was installed.}”
The story itself was nothing special.
I was just explaining what had happened earlier from the point of view of the omniscient black beast.
“{I don’t remember anything else besides that... It looks like there was another rampage.}” I
just couldn’t remember anything about the carnage and melee in the middle.
It’s as if only that part was cut out.
“{...it’s like this every day. When you wake up after dying in a fight, you’re in the middle of a mess, and I can’t remember anything, but I made that mess.}”
Sometimes everyone but myself is down, or other times, someone is being beaten to pieces. And sometimes I’m kicking people like soccer balls.
“{I stabbed a colleague once. He was a kind and good friend, but when I came to my senses, I saw that he was pierced by my hand...}”
All of this is something that the usual Kim Ho-jung would never have imagined.
“{It sounds like an excuse, but at that time I must have become a different person.}” “
{Listening to the explanation, it seems like a drunkard who is normally calm but becomes violent when he drinks.}” “
{I might be able to stop drinking...}”
Couch The sizzling voice of the black beast came from below.
“{I don’t even know why I got this ability in the first place... I just died like everyone else, I opened my eyes, and I was resurrected in a monster state like this.}” When I was first resurrected, I was very grateful that I was given a second chance
.
“{At that time, I thought it was a blessing.}”
However, when all of his colleagues died and only himself survived several times, he said that from then on, it felt like a curse rather than a blessing.
“{So I thought it would be okay to hang out with strong friends who could survive even if I died, right? But it wasn’t.}”
At first, I was relieved to have my colleagues by my side, but that was for a while. Kim Ho-jung soon realized that they were looking at him with a hard face.
-{I’m not like a monster.}
-{Now I’m just transforming, and after a while I’ll return to being a human...} -{
So don’t attack me!}
I desperately explained, but no one listened to me. In the end, Kim Ho-jung ran away from his colleagues who were trying to attack him.
“{At that time, I was so afraid of the eyes of my colleagues looking at me.}”
“....”
“{I thought I would rather go alone without my colleagues, but that was scary.}”
He was basically a person who liked to hang out with others, so he was alone Dani could not bear the loneliness.
“{It’s scary to walk around the dark forest alone, it’s scary to wander alone in the mountains where the rain pours down, and then it’s even more scary to meet monsters....}
” It was always the same.
Either die and survive alone, or run away from allies attacking you.
“{Actually, I know. A guy like me has to go alone for the rest of his life, but because of my greed...}”
Finally, a sound of crying was heard from under the sofa.
If this place were in the woods, I would have dug the ground again and put my head down.
“...”
Kang Seung-hyeon listened to the story in silence.
Since he was a person he recognized as a colleague, he knew that he needed to be encouraged and comforted in situations like this.
‘Are these just things I usually do?’
The problem was that I couldn’t understand Kim Ho-jung’s feelings right now.
‘This is probably enough comfort.’
Kang Seung-hyun drank the magic potion.
It was because he had run out of stamina and stamina potions, so he had nothing to drink.
“{Anyway, even Kim Ho-jung doesn’t know why he got the job of the Black Beast?}” “{
Yeah... I think something happened, but I can’t remember it.}” I
checked the status window just in case. It is said that there was no related message.
“{I don’t even know when I got it.}”
In the end, even after talking with the person in charge, I couldn’t figure out what the black beast really was.
“{I’m going to sleep soon...}”
“{That’s right.}”
“{I was hurt a lot when I was a human, but I’ve never been hurt like this when I was a monster.}” “{
But there?}”
A rustling sound came from under the sofa. heard
It looks like he’s going to take out another ugly fish pillow and sleep on it.
“{Crowd....}”
“Then should I close my eyes too?”
I received treatment and finished mental care.
With nothing to do now, Seunghyun Kang closed his eyes and fell asleep.
-“What is it...”
How long has it been?
When Kang Seung-hyun opened his eyes again, for some reason he was inside the Great Temple of Zumare.
‘Why am I here?’
Seunghyun Kang immediately activated the status window, but nothing appeared.
‘Ah, this is a dream.’
Seeing that the status window did not appear, this must have been a dream.
Now that I think about it, it was a dream from the moment when the destroyed building was still intact.
{Hehehe...}
{Hehehe...}
At that moment, a sobbing sound came from somewhere.
I don’t know if it’s a man or a woman, but I’m sure it came from inside the temple.
“Shall I take a nap? I heard that if you fall asleep in a dream, you have a 1/5 chance to enter a dream within a dream.”
Of course, Seunghyun Kang didn’t care at all.
Since it was a dream anyway, I settled down in a suitable place, lay down, and tried to sleep one more time.
{Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhen
the and such’s sharp screams that seemed to be torn.
That too right in your ear.
cooong!
At the same time, a heavy sensation that seemed to oppress the air attacked Kang Seung-hyun.
‘Is it [awe]?’
The status window message didn’t appear because it was in a dream, not reality, but this is [Awe], a skill that lowers one’s mental strength just by encountering a divine being.
While working as a bounty hunter, I often ran into cultists, so I got to know them naturally.
‘Ac.’
In the end, Seunghyun Kang had no choice but to turn his head.
Behind him, a red deer with a veil over his face glared at him with tears of blood.
‘...It’s Zumare.’
A unique tattoo was engraved on the deer’s body, and the tattoo was the same as the symbol of the Church of Zumaire.
