Chapter 243: A New World (2)

Everything changes once you cross a boundary.

That is the taming city, Isil.

Even if the Dragon District is a part of the Dragon Kingdom we’re going to…

It felt terribly neglected.

“This is the Dragon District…?”

“It’s dark and gloomy, Oppa!”

Isn’t this the real Devil District?

Just crossing one wall, dark clouds filled the sky, and everything turned dark.

And the tall buildings, like mysterious ruins, looked precarious like dry bones, as if they would collapse at any moment.

“It’s very different from what I expected.”

“The dragons think that as long as they carry out the duties Her Majesty entrusted them with, aesthetics don’t matter.”

It’s like a garbage incinerator.

The Beast District’s poor are well-off compared to the people lying around here.

I was slightly angry at the landlord, whom I haven’t even met yet.

“Even if it’s entrusted to you, you should take responsibility, this…”

A human slaughterhouse.

That was my first impression.

Scattered throughout the Dragon District, I saw stone soldiers, like automated guillotines, dealing with the otherworlders pouring out of the gates.

“What are those?”

“Golems created by dragon magic.”

“Those otherworlders are being killed as soon as they come through the gate?”

“Those lucky enough to survive eke out a living in the town.”

Truly disgusting…

The area near the gate was filled with freshly decapitated corpses.

Gayeon gripped the hilt of her sword, her shoulders trembling.

“Even livestock are treated better than this. To join hands with those who commit such acts, it’s sickening.”

“It can’t be helped. In this city, only a very small number of lives are valued.”

Ariella said.

“…”

Gayeon Noona looked like she was about to jump out of the carriage at any moment.

“There’s no viable alternative… Let’s not interfere, Gayeon Noona.”

“…Alright.”

“It’s the people who made these gates that are bad, Master!”

“That’s right. What kind of person would do such a thing…”

Emperor Sihyeon said it.

There are those who see this world as a playground and enjoy it.

“Transcendents. They’re called gods in this world.”

“If the gates were closed, these terrible things wouldn’t happen. Those living as slaves in the city would also disappear…”

Gayeon Noona is right.

If humans from other worlds didn’t pop up everywhere like bamboo shoots after the rain, we could solve the fundamental problems this city holds.

Including the unique culture that disregards human life.

But, for now… it would be difficult.

“If the gates could be closed, they would have been closed long ago. This city won’t change easily either.”

Ariella said.

“So you’re saying that’s right?”

“I mean, it’s pointless to try to change it blindly.”

“We have to make an effort to change.”

“We’re the vested interests in this social structure.”

“What…”

“We’re Taeyang’s slaves, including the Sword Empress.”

“That’s…”

“If you want to be righteous and liberate everyone, does that mean you want to join the hero’s side?”

“Now, now, stop it.”

I interrupted Ariella.

“Don’t bother Gayeon Noona, Ariel.”

“….”

“Don’t get worked up either, Gayeon Noona. We didn’t order them to kill like that. This is just how this world works.”

“That’s, that’s true…”

“We can’t do anything about it right now. But we might be able to lead them in a better way.”

“A better way…”

“Sihyeon Hyung… Her Majesty also said she wants to end everything. In other words, permanently sealing the gates might be our ultimate goal.”

“Her Majesty said such a thing…”

It’s just my guess…

As long as the gates remain, a second hero, a third hero, will continue to appear.

Defeating the current First Number is just a temporary solution.

“If it’s for sealing the gates, I’m willing to wield my sword.”

“I think the problem is the uncontrolled gates. If it’s like moderately accepting guests from other countries, it’s fine for them to be open.”

“…”

Gayeon seemed taken aback.

“If there were no gates, we wouldn’t have met, right?”

“That’s true, new encounters… aren’t necessarily bad.”

Actually…

I’m just interested in the structure of this city where beautiful married women from all over the world keep coming, even if I just stay here.

But the problem is that there are so many of them that they’re killed as soon as they arrive, like here.

It only smells of blood and burning corpses.

The dragon’s processing area, where not a single dragon scale can be found.

It’s just unpleasant.

“We’re almost there. This is the gate to the Dragon Kingdom.”

We soon arrived at a long tower in the center.

It was a tower neglected for a long time, wearing ivy vines like a coat, but unlike other places, it felt like some mysterious ruin.

Only this place… feels like it existed before the city was built.

“That’s strange.”

Ariella said.

“What is?”

“The Taranis family’s Imperial Guard should be guarding this place.”

“No one’s here?”

“No.”

It’s quiet even when we look inside.

“What’s the Taranis family?”

“One of the four great families. Dragon nobles who manage the Dragon District under the Emperor’s edict.”

I explained in Ariella’s stead.

“Dereliction of duty?”

“I’ll check inside.”

“I’ll go with you.”

I can’t send Ariella alone.

Since I was going, Cecil and Gayeon naturally followed.

We found the gate to the Dragon Kingdom without any interference.

It’s like a giant mirror.

I felt a gravitational pull, as if I’d be sucked in if I reached out.

“If there’s no one guarding it, should we just go in?”

“Something’s strange.”

Ariella touched the gate.

“Why?”

“The gate… is closed…”

“Closed? Can you open and close it at will?”

“No, as far as I know… there’s no way to interfere with the gate’s activation.”

Gayeon said.

“What if they were hiding it from us?”

“For what purpose?”

“Maybe they’re trying to ignore it now that the city is in crisis?”

At that moment.

The light source illuminating the tower disappeared all at once.

Cecil immediately stuck close behind me.

“Oppa! Be careful.”

“Ariella, are you alright?”

“It just got dark.”

“Be careful, it could be the work of assassins.”

Gayeon Noona drew her sword.

No assassins appeared, but the strange phenomena continued.

The door we came through closed on its own, and the floor vibrated.

An earthquake?

Intense transition reaction.

Did the inner monologue speak?

Intense transition reaction, could it be… a call to another world?

The gate to the Dragon Kingdom has opened.

Suddenly, the surroundings brightened.

Another gate opened in a different location than the one we knew.

The inner monologue explained that it was the way to the Dragon Kingdom.

“No, don’t approach that gate! You don’t know where it’ll take you!”

Ariella shouted urgently.

But the gate expanded as if searching for someone to suck in, and I was standing closest to it.

I’m being sucked in…!

“I’ll break through the wall. This way…!”



“Oppa, grab my hand!”

“Taeyang!”

Gayeon Noona swung her sword to quickly escape from here, but my feet were already off the ground.

I hurriedly reached out to Cecil, but my hand fell just short, and my body was sucked into the gate.

“Oppa!”

“It’s the gate to the Dragon Kingdom. Don’t worry about me…!”

I quickly relayed only the information I heard from the inner monologue and watched as the world disappeared.

Moving away.

Endlessly moving away, and then falling.

It kept falling to the point where I started hoping it would hit something soon.

“.”

The floor is cold.

When I came to, I was in a pitch-black dark room.

This is…

Obviously, not where I was.

To experience an isekai trip twice, what great luck.

“There must be a way back…”

The gate to the Dragon Kingdom…

If the information the inner monologue conveyed to me is true, then this is somewhere in the Dragon Kingdom…

This pitch-black dark room?

It’s like I’m completely imprisoned.

Moreover…

The walls, floor, and ceiling are all blocked by an unknown metal.

At least this space was created with technology beyond modern times.

In times like these…

“Status window.”

Thank goodness.

My abilities are still there.

Let’s get out of this space that’s confining me.

“Aura, activate…”

Objects within this space disappear.

A huge hole opened in the metal partition.

“”

I doubled over from a severe headache.

“”

As soon as I coughed up blood, an intense chill enveloped my body.

This is… the backlash from the Blood Art!

I realized too late that the physical strain increases depending on the content of the monologue imbued into the space with Aura.

I’m paying a harsh price.

It was only after a long struggle with the pain that I was freed from the agonizing pain.

‘It’s a good thing no one’s here…’

Staggering to my feet and leaning against the wall, I walked through the pitch-black hallway…

And I found a room that looked like a control room.

A nuclear power plant? I don’t know what this room controls, but there were a dizzying number of instrument panels.

I could tell right away that this was a place where something dangerous was being closely monitored.

And, beyond the broken reinforced glass, a mechanical sphere that looked dangerous to anyone lay there.

It seemed to be ten times the size of a gym ball.

A sphere much taller than me.

Composed of intricate mechanical devices, its silhouette was simple, but up close, it wasn’t.

“What is this?”

I poked it.

“”

A woman’s voice came from above.

Above?

“…Who, are you?”

“”

I was speechless.

I should be the one asking that question…

Long light blue hair, and clear eyes like a cloudless sky.

A naked beautiful girl, connected to the sphere by various hoses, was looking down at me.

Is she… a machine too?

A beautiful android?

Except for the mechanical devices connected to her body like octopus tentacles, she looked like a human no matter how you looked at her.

“I’m… Geum Taeyang.”

“Geum Taeyang. There’s no such name in my database. You’re not staff, are you?”

“I don’t even know where this is.”

“How is that possible? Are you intellectually deficient?”

What a sharp tongue…

“No, my intellectual capacity is fine. Probably… I guess it’s my constitution to end up in unknown places when caught in a gate.” S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“”

The girl laughed.

…I thought she didn’t have any emotions because of her severe lack of expression.

At least she doesn’t seem like a cold-blooded killing machine.

“Like drifting at sea? No sense of direction, and no idea where to go?”

“I know where I came from and where I’m going. I was on my way to the Dragon Kingdom.”

“This is the Dragon Kingdom.”

“Oh, really?”

“If the Dragon Kingdom you’re talking about is the Dragon Kingdom of Asteria.”

“I don’t know the name of the country.”

“Oh my, how pitiful. Your level of intelligence is considered fine…”

“What’s your name?”

“Actually, I don’t have a name.”

“Aren’t the one who’s intellectually deficient?”

The mysterious girl puffed out her cheeks and protested.

“Want to have a calculation contest?”

“Who would have a calculation contest with a machine?”

“I want a topic to prove my intellectual capacity.”

“I’m lying right now.”

“…What nonsense are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Is it a lie? Or is it true?”

“It could be true, or it could be false.”

.

It really feels like I’m talking to a person…

“Are you human?”

“No.”

I thought so.

“I was born not long ago, and everyone who created me has left. It’s natural that I don’t have a name.”

“Then should I give you one?”

“No. I firmly refuse.”

“…Hey, isn’t this the promised development where we form a bond?”

“I refuse such a promised development.”

“Why!”

“I don’t want someone who seems as stupid as you to give me a name.”

“Oh, alright. I hope you meet someone intelligent and refined. Just tell me how to get out of here.”

“Over there. I’ll open it.”

I gaped as five partitions opened one after another.

Things are going smoothly?

“Is it the Dragon Kingdom if I go out there?”

“Figure that out yourself.”

This girl…

Should I just jump her?

But I don’t know what kind of hidden power she has, so let’s not.

She’s not someone else’s wife, so I’m not burning with enough passion to risk exhaustion.

“Can you come down by yourself? Let’s go together.”

“No, I have work to do here.”

“In a place like this where no one is around?”

“There’s someone here. Me.”

“….”

.

It looks like an abandoned research facility…

“Then, I’ll go alone?”

“Yes, goodbye.”

Leaving the short encounter with the mysterious girl behind, I stepped outside the research facility and was met with blinding sunlight.

Whoa, bright!

And, the sea…?



Thrown onto the shore, I looked back at the research facility I had just left…

But it had disappeared like a mirage.

“….”

The starting point is strange and bothers me, but should I go?

A new isekai adventure.
