281 Daddy's too strong. 280.

The so-called "Dark of Darkness" was not that popular.

A fairly cheesy boy cartoon, "The Darkness of the Darkness," is a work advocated only by the so-called maniac class, and its overall reputation was not good. Therefore, the book was completed with a small number of five books, and bookstores often returned the dark darts in stock or disposed of them.

"You bought it for no reason."

Kiriel read the Dark Darkness Darkness until the middle of the second volume, then put it down and grumbled. I was not picky about cartoons, but reading them was very difficult. It was more interesting to read a fairy tale book. I wanted to return it, but it was impossible because I had already opened the package.

Shall we put it in the comic book store right away?

I thought about it briefly, but soon shook my head.

If you put this boring comic book in, you'll lose your reputation.

"...hm."

"It's the body's recommendation."

Hakase, who drank cold water and put it back in the refrigerator, looked at the comic book on the table as if he was not interested. Today was a day off from the cart bar, so Hakase, who was comfortably filling his time in the nest, sighed deeply.

"I'm not interested in cartoons."

"Lizard. Not reading this is like losing half of your life. Adding to the exaggeration, the body's life was divided before and after reading the Dark Darkness."

"......."

"I'll leave it there, so read it slowly."

"No, I didn't like cartoons...…."

"Oh! And to give you one piece of advice, the first four books are boring, but from the fifth, it's really fun, so be patient and read it."

Pod!

Before long, the new Kiriel's model disappeared.

Left alone in the living room, Hakase looked at five volumes of 'Dark of Darkness.'

To be exact, the letter "complete" is inscribed at the top of the five volumes.

"The crazy guy's finished his fifth book, and you want me to bear with the first four books and read them?"

Hakase pressed down on his throbbing forehead.

And sat down at the table with a deep sigh.

I opened the Dark Book 1 and started reading it.

***

palpitating

Phallac!

It's getting closer to the end.

Hakase's hands, turning the pages, were sweaty.

I hated it when I felt that there were only a few pages left in each page.

"......I can't believe it."

The eyes of Hakase dripped with tears of chicken poop.

The story of the main character, 'The Devil,' struggling to save the Earth.

Especially in the climax scene, the words the main character uttered before fighting the final boss were art. Hakase read the final chapter again to relive the deep aftertaste.

"The darkness within me awakens."

He speaks out the main character's lines.

Hakase closed his eyes with a shudder.

As Kiriel said, up to the fourth volume was only "the beginning."

Up to the fourth volume was really boring and boring, but if you gave up, you would have regretted it greatly.

"......."

Early morning the next day.

The bell on the door rattled.

Park Deok-bae welcomed the guest with a business smile.

"Welcome... ....Huh?

A man's hat, sunglasses, and a disposable mask.

The man slowly approaches Park Deok-bae with a four-week alert.

"......you want me to find you?"

"By any chance. Is there something like this here?"

Take a poster out of your arms and show it to you.

A flying black cape is an attractive cartoon character.

After receiving the poster, Park Deok-bae pats his chin and looks at the character carefully.

The man pointed to the cape the character was wearing.

"Such a cape."

A sunny April afternoon.

Standing in the corner of the veranda, Apophis lay on the floor of the living room and looked still at the sleeping stars and carciel. The wind slips through the half-open veranda door. The curtains fluttered and touched the cheeks of two children. I fell asleep in the warm sunshine while playing with blocks until just now.

Shu Wu-uk.

Up in the air, Apophis slowly flew into the living room.

It hovered quietly around the stars and the carciel. Suddenly, Apophis was reminded of the scene of his heart, which was almost like an avi-gyuan, because of the constant fighting in the distant past. Residents struggling to build more proficiency and gain artifacts to survive in a world of weak meat.

'Carthiel.'

as was the case with it

Especially in the case of Carthiel, I had never seen him smile.

It's like a doll without a face on the shelf.

But now asleep, she had a faint smile.

Maybe because I had a pleasant dream. Or is the Earth as comfortable as that?

"Daddy..."

Even sleep talking.

But who are you talking about, dad?

Then the front door opened and Dojun came in.

Nothing much happened.

Even though I didn't ask you to do so, report to Dojun.

After answering 'Yes,' Dojun came into the living room and hugged the children and put them on the bed in the master bedroom. Watch them hugging each other tightly, cover them with a blanket, close the door, and come out to the living room.

Beep.

Turn on the coffee pot and boil the water.

I put a coffee stick in a mug and sat down at the table.

After about a minute, put the boiling water into a mug and stir it with a spoon.

Hour look.

Drink a sip of coffee.

I opened the newspaper naturally.

In these days, news was easily accessible through smartphones, but Do-joon always heard news through newspapers when he was at home because of the unique scent of newspapers and the good feeling of fluttering whenever he handed them over.

That's peaceful.

"Right."

Earth is not the only one. That's the way of the world. beyond my imagination of the past

It changed rapidly.

The world was changing around Dojun.

It is a shame that there was a time when slaughter was rampant.

If you become king of the dimension, this peace will continue, right?

'King....'

Dojun put down the newspaper for a moment.

The more I went down to Simgye, the more I could see about being the "king of dimension."

I heard that being king of the dimension is like being in the position of God.

The legend that if all planets were transferred to the center, the "Kingdom" would appear and a great war would take place was already too famous in the world of Simgye.

"If I were king, I would. Because I like my life now."

Good. Then I'll be your strength.

"......Um."

Dojun shed his voice as he watched the seedling shovel talking on the table.

Apophis, realizing that he had made a slip of the tongue, coughed in embarrassment.

Hm, hm, if my strength comes to need it. He will, too, because Solomon's power will be too much for the individual.

"And then you shared the power of the great Solomon.You've talked about it."

Yeah. Not just me. The demons in the heart were also born by Solomon. Under Solomon's law, the top 72 were given the order of power on the altar.

72 captains leading the Devil's Legion.

They are called '72 Devils of Solomon' and were also listed on the ranking board of the Shimgye.

Dojun sipped his coffee and recalled Solomon's demons he had faced. Obviously they had one powerful force, unparalleled to the monsters on Earth. Then how strong is Solomon's power to create such demons?

When Do-jun once opened his hunch and looked through the world, no one was spotted with stronger energy than Ba-al and Impeelheim.

"So."

Yes?

"Where's the solomon?"

I don't know that. Neither have I seen it in person. However, it is clearly imprinted that the origin of my existence is by Solomon.

"You're not lying, are you?"

Dojun's eyes sank cold.

Well, that's true! I swear I'm not lying!

The seeding shovel jumped up.

Dojun stared at Apophis for a while.

His reaction did not really seem to be false.

"I'll trust you."

Apophis was relieved only then.

Dojun dusted off the leftover coffee and put the mug in the sink.

And I wore slippers after packing my wallet. Apophis, who was looking at the figure, rose slightly into the air and flew slowly to Dojun.

Where are you going?

"I thought I'd get some bungeoppang."

I see. Byul really likes fish-shaped buns. I want to follow along.

Do-joon opened the front door with a big smile.

Hakase, who remained alone in the cart, stopped his hand while preparing for the evening trade.

He checked that there was no one around and listened to the paper bag at the foot.

Inside the bag was a cape bought at Park Deok-bae's clothing store. It was quite similar to the black cape worn by "Dark," the main character of "Dark of Darkness."

Whirik.

Try it once.

When he shouted 'mirror', a full-body mirror of mana appeared.

Hakase turned around in front of the mirror. The cape was a fling.

"It's really cool."

Take a nice pose.

A signature gesture taken by 'dark' before a fight.

An eagle-like posture that spreads its wings and flies through the sky.

"You are already dead....... Whoo-hoo."

***

Somehow children huddled in front of the supermarket.

They all had a serious look on their faces. Dojun approached the children.

"What are you doing here?"

"It's Uncle 301!"

"Mister! The cart bar is weird."

"That's right. He's just moving like a fool in front of the mirror and talking to himself."

The children's testimony followed.

Dojun didn't see what Hakase was doing, but he could guess what the situation was because he was listening to the sound enough.

"I'll be back after Mr. Ajeossi."

"Well, but it's dangerous."

Dojun walked to the cart bar and tilted the entrance slightly.

Then, as the children testified, Hakase was posing in front of the mirror in a black cape, and he was immersed in "smoke" without even knowing that Dojun was watching.

"Kkew. You fool, Babylon! You thought you could only kill me, Dark!"

Chuck!

Point your finger at yourself in the mirror.

"I was born in the dark, but a guardian of justice......... Dark Daac!"

with Hakase's arms wide open

He looks up at the ceiling with his eyes wet with grief.

"The darkness within me wakes...…."

Apophis, floating beside Dojun, muttered.

......is that crazy?

At that moment.

Hakase flinched.

No way.

Slowly turn your head.

There was Dojun.

"......."

Dojun came into the cart bar as if nothing had happened.

Hakase quietly took off his cape and put it back in a paper bag.

"Are you here to buy some snacks?"

"Yes."

"......."

There was silence for a while.

Dojun handed over 5,000 won, and bought a suitable mix of bungeoppang and steamed buns.

"Hey... ...what you saw today......... if you keep it a secret...…."

"I think so."

"......thank you."

Hakase only fell asleep that night after dozens of blanket kicks.
