Episode 376
The wide-open landscape felt somehow familiar.
‘By the way, the Gourmet King was a heavenly god?’
what the.
I had a guess, but I never thought it was real.
Several questions the Gourmet King had were immediately understood.
One of the biggest questions, the Gourmet King’s passive attitude toward other beings, is also understandable.
‘The Heavenly God created the Heavenly World to destroy the Fate World.’
It can be said that its purpose is the same as that of other beings.
I wonder what the reason was for creating such a rule, and I felt like I had to find the reason in this fantasy.
First of all, where is this place?
X, who was looking around, was shocked.
‘...You can’t turn your head?’
Contrary to my wishes, my body does not listen. I wondered what was wrong, but X soon found out why.
Familiar hand movements come into view. The shadow of the king of gourmets can be seen overlapping the hands handling the food.
‘What, could it be that you are possessed by the Gourmet King?’
It was also my first time being directly possessed by the Gourmet King.
It was a different experience, but I didn’t think it would be bad. I thought this would be more helpful in feeling the feelings of a gourmet king.
‘It will be a little easier to find the reason why this person is crooked.’
good night.
X took it easy and decided to watch the Gourmet King’s actions.
While the Gourmet King was in the midst of preparing the ingredients, a woman’s voice was suddenly heard.
“You dream of becoming the king of gastronomy? Haha, it’s romantic, isn’t it?”
what?
This is what I heard in my last fantasy.
‘What I saw through Fragment 1 of the collapsed world of the apple tree...’
What the Gourmet King’s colleague said.
It seems that the fantasy begins from this point.
The field of view changes and a woman’s figure appears. However, the woman’s appearance was somehow familiar.
‘Is it because I saw it in the last vision? No, there was no such specific scene in my last fantasy.’
I tried to remember the faces passing by, but I couldn’t remember anything.
But soon X realized why.
‘...What about those clothes?’
The outfit of an ordinary woman.
It’s so ordinary that it’s hard to remember, but X saw that outfit just a few minutes ago.
From the level just below the top floor, an ordeal whose name and identity are unknown. It wasn’t just women.
Soldiers climbing a mountain path as if they were going on an expedition. The patterns seen on their shoulders are familiar.
‘It’s the same as the pattern on the shoulders of those trials.’
Only then did X realize it.
The trials of the Heavenly Gourmet King. They were all people who had contact with the King of Gourmet.
A soldier grumbled and spoke to the Gourmet King.
“Wow, your face has completely opened up. Yes, if fighting isn’t your aptitude, it’s better to quit quickly. “It would also be a national loss if that culinary skill were to rot.”
His subtle eyes glanced at the woman next to him.
“So when is the wedding going to be held?”
“...marriage?! “I don’t plan on doing that, do I?”
The startled woman’s cheeks were stained red.
The Gourmet King stared blankly at the back of the woman, who was rushing back to the village, seemingly embarrassed.
The soldier continued.
“Hey, you need to be kind to yourself. Whether it’s a dream or a woman, choosing one doesn’t mean you have to give up the other, right?”
“Well....”
“You said something pointless. “You would have made a wise decision.”
X, who was listening to the conversation, finally understood.
‘It seems like it has become a big regret.’
X knew the ending of this fantasy.
In the end, the Gourmet King chooses dreams over love and later achieves the great feat of becoming a heavenly gourmet.
However, it appears that the love she gave up at this time was not easily forgotten. Seeing that this woman became her final ordeal.
Appreciation also takes a while.
Kukukukung-!
As my perspective changed, I saw a city collapsing to the sound of a loud roar.
It was the work of a giant monster.
X was quite surprised inside.
‘Is it a chimera? Even if I can’t do it, I’ll be at level 2,000.’
A monster chimera that is a mixture of all kinds of monsters! The city seemed to lack the ability to stand up to him.
“Aaaah!”
The soldiers’ screams pierced my ears.
I see numbers on apples.
The numbers fill the flesh of the apple.
‘!’
I could see the ‘essence’ of the apple consisting of binary numbers
0 and 1 .
“This world...”
At the same time, scenes pass by like a flash of light. The memories recalled by the Gourmet King were clearly conveyed to X.
Strangers who were talking about themselves.
-Is the implementation perfect? It would be good to service it right away. By the way, shouldn’t NPCs be made like NPCs? He seems too human, but a little...
– Wow, he’s our president, after all! It looks no different from a real person. But are you trying to check me too? Look at those eyes, they’re scary. I definitely need to make NPCs look like NPCs. It’s a little creepy.
Strangers who summoned chimeras and destroyed the city.
-Look. I said level 2000 was too unbalanced, right? And what is a level 2000 chimera? Chimera? Even if you can’t do it, you have to be at least a dragon so you can look good.
-No, this is because the troops are dispersed due to an expedition...
-Okay, let’s say there are a lot of troops. So, is it possible to defeat the Chimera just by adding a few more NPCs like this? Look, look at this thing floundering.
-That’s because that NPC is weak...
It feels as if the fog in my head has cleared. The Gourmet King raised his head and continued.
“...It’s a false world.”
That voice was extremely cold.
*
That’s how the fantasy ended.
X had nothing to say.
‘...The Gourmet King knew everything.’
Also, Fate World is a false world.
Also, everything in Fate World is in the hands of foreign game masters.
Even that he is an NPC.
X muttered softly.
“I understand how you feel.”
You are just a puppet in this world.
All the Gourmet King could do after learning the truth was to destroy the false world itself.
For that purpose, the Gourmet King created heaven and established rules.
But it was impossible for the Gourmet King’s plan to succeed.
That’s because Fate World was a world created for players, not NPCs.
The Gourmet King was nothing more than data that changed everything from birth to life with a single command from the game masters.
Despite his efforts, the Gourmet King must have felt limited in a worldview that was deleted dozens of times.
“...So you sealed the power for your successor and chose me as your successor?”
This is truly absurd.
Just as X was about to let out a laugh.
Tiroling!
A notification rang in my ear.
[You have succeeded in your quest!]
‘Two unmeasurable quests in one day.’
The Gourmet King’s Truth Quest.
Knowing the truth about the Heavenly God was no different from revealing the truth about the Gourmet King.
The system doesn’t lie.
Indeed, as stated in the quest, it was a truth that could change the history of Fate World.
“How long are you going to be like that?”
Priyan, who was flying in the sky with the little fish, spoke to me.
X, who had been silent, sighed.
“The hilt of the sword has completely fallen to me.”
The Gourmet King succeeded in conveying his will to his successor, X. Even after going through dozens of worldview resets.
The decision now rested with X.
“Destroy Fate World? I was out of my mind.”
He would have said that with a sneer.
If Fate was going well without any problems!
However, the current Fate was a game that would not be strange even if Schubert was arrested and the service ended tomorrow.
That was also the reason why X was in a hurry to see the ending.
X did not forget his condescension even while talking to himself.
“My efforts there are worth it, so I will grant you one wish.”
However, it was not enough to stop at just destroying Fate World. That was something even the Gourmet King could do.
X had to correct all of Fate’s internal and external problems.
They said you had to meet all the conditions and see a happy ending.
“Because it’s something only players can do.”
That must be the reason why the Gourmet King handed over the hilt of the sword to him.
X, with a smile on his face, strengthened his resolve.
“I guess I should try this sword dance properly.”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
