Chapter 43

Episode 43. Is there a true

named item?



Seeing my mana fluctuate, it was clear that it was an item related to black magic.

Did your father leave you behind?

As I went down, guessing alone, things like dust flying in the air were shining in all directions.

‘Luminous powder that comes from a fairy flower. Did fairy flowers bloom around here?’

It was one of the most precious alchemy materials.

But right now I had to go down and check it first, so I didn’t have time to collect the powder.

Going down the stairs, I doubted my eyes at the floor that I finally began to see.

Soon after, I hurried down and found fairy flowers blooming everywhere.

“Nonsense.”

how the hell

The fairy flower was not a common plant.

It was a fairy flower that would never grow unless there was an abundance of mana in the air.

In addition to this, various conditions were required, but the most important factor was mana.

‘Mana-rich places can be counted on one hand.’

Most of those places were only remote areas such as the Devil’s Land.

And there were not only fairy flowers here.

Something was standing in the middle of the vast field of flowers.

‘tree?’

From a distance, it looked just like a tree, but as I got closer, I noticed something different.

And as soon as I got close enough to fill my field of vision, a system window popped up.

[Codex Apocalypse: Chapter 0 Pure Original Sin]

[Waiting for the fruit to bear.]

Seeing the Hangeul that covered my vision, I took a step back without realizing it.

“What kind of dog... ... .”

I couldn’t hide my embarrassment as the training to control my emotions was colorless.

Even though I thought it was nonsense, the reality that was revealed in front of my eyes did not disappear.

I hope this tree... ... .

“The codex body?”

Although it is a game with a high degree of freedom, it is relatively high compared to other games, and in the end, it had to be played within the framework of the game.

If you play a character who is an academy student, life in the academy is the main focus, and if you play a character who is a mercenary, solving mercenary requests is the main focus, so there were more restrictions than expected.

12 clears.

However, due to the limited range of action, the codex I’ve seen so far was at most anger, lust, gluttony, and sloth that I had in my hand until recently.

It meant that all the codexes were gathered and I had seen the final boss, but never checked individually.

So I didn’t know what the body looked like, and I couldn’t imagine what it would look like.

The tree was small.

At most, the young-looking tree, a little taller than me, didn’t have a particularly unusual appearance.

However, unlike his appearance, he felt a huge amount of sticky and dull mana.

It seemed like the scent of mana was coming out even though it couldn’t be because of how thick it was.

‘How should I do this.’

After a while, I was able to calm down again.

Aside from why this is here, what should I do to deal with it?

I thought it could be simply removed, but it couldn’t be that simple.

As I was thinking about it, I noticed something on the branch.

‘Note?’

It was a note that looked like someone had hung it.

I immediately opened the note.

Then, the magic built into the note was activated, and the vision was colored white.

One day, he went to the imperial palace at a sudden call.

The one who called me was none other than His Majesty the Emperor himself.

“Kain Cromwell.”

“yes. your majesty.”

“You must be my faithful servant.”

“Shin Kane Cromwell. Your Majesty’s faithful servant greets you.”

“I will give you a special order only for you.”

It’s probably a fact that even the imperial bastards don’t know.

Maybe only I who did the research know.

But with so much to figure out, there was no way I could make use of it.

Before I knew it, I was addicted to poison.

“Hehe. It doesn’t work the way you want.”

Even if I die, you guys can’t take away the original sin.

The only regret is my children who will be left behind in the world.

Ironically, he left a note containing this memory, hoping that one of them would find it.

Please pay for my injustice and Cromwell’s revenge... ... .

* * *

The sight gradually returned.

Was it my father’s magic that I just saw?

In my head, a way to deal with the original sin naturally came to mind.

‘This is how it turned out.’

The reason why his father was Morn’s disciple.

The reason why the Cromwell family’s family trend declined.

My mother died and my father passed away too.

All empires were involved.

“I thought the empire was also collecting sins.”

Behind the meeting of black magicians, which was thought to be a black curtain, there was a bigger black curtain.

Information that has never been released in the game.

I just watched the note burning in my hand.

I had to organize my thoughts.

“It is certain that the Empire and the Coven are not one team. Rather, they must be more like competitors trying to collect sins.”

On the surface, the empire is hunting warlocks, but it must be a relationship of giving and receiving help when needed.

Just like politics is.

And this also cleared up some of my doubts.

‘As expected, there was a reason why Adrias became playable.’

I was one of the seeds that prevented the end of the world.

That’s why I joined Adrias, who was just an insignificant villain.

I drew my sword and slightly cut my hand.

Blood dripped from it and then dripped down.

“Drink.”

I brought my bloody hand to ‘original sin’.

Then, original sin began to absorb the blood from my grasp.

[‘Codex Apocalypse: Chapter 0 Pure Original Sin’ recognizes the user as the owner.]

[Now, it no longer emits energy.]

This was a relief, whereas other named items had themselves choose their owner.

Soon after becoming the master of original sin, I absorbed the original sin.

[‘Codex Apocalypse: Chapter 0 Pure Original Sin’ lurks inside the user’s body.]

[Mana recovery increased by 144%]

[The quality of mana increases over time.]

[The quality of mana increases over time. It gets dark.]

[When ‘Sin’ gathers, performance improves.]

[When ‘Sin’ gathers, additional performance and functions are unlocked.]

Numerous messages come to mind after a long time.

For some reason, I felt a surge of energy in my body.

‘Is it a good thing?’

It wasn’t something to be happy about at all.

It felt like I had increased my stats in return for holding a time bomb.

In the end, I always had the body of the Codex Apocalypse with me.

“father.”

I looked at the empty land where original sin had disappeared amidst the blossoming flowers.

Even though the family’s family declined and her mother died because of that.

can’t be blamed

Now I will shoulder that burden.

Rest well. father.
