Chapter 214:

Chapter 214

After finishing the conversation with his companions, Yu-hyun immediately moved to his own guardians room.

Things have changed a lot here too.

The space was still white, but the bookshelf on one wall was filled with various books.

They had different thicknesses and shapes.

All those books were a collection of stories that Yu-hyun had shown through his paintings.

The books lined up in rows were his footsteps, and they objectively showed how far he had come.

Yu-hyun felt anew that he had shown a lot of paintings so far, looking at the books lined up in rows.

It wasnt that long ago when he signed a contract with Kang Hye-rim and showed her the story of the Sword Master.

He had experienced a lot since then.

He lived in a peaceful era before the end came in his previous life for five years, but his life in the last six months was much more dense than that.

If I add a few more books, the bookshelf will be full. Ill have to expand the bookshelf range soon.

He would increase the bookshelf, and expand the range of the guardians room.

If he filled that empty space with books as well, this room would look like a library.

Yu-hyun thought that was the most ideal appearance for a name like a library, and called Celine.

Celine.

Yes. Did you call me, senior?

Celine appeared in front of Yu-hyun as if she had been waiting.

She still stood in front of Yu-hyun with cold eyes that were hard to read emotions and restrained actions that showed no flaws.

Yu-hyun sat down on the chair in the middle of the room and instructed Celine to sit down as well.

As soon as Celine sat down, Yu-hyun got to the point.

So. Do you have any guesses about the situation where an official document came down from the central office?

No matter how I look at it, I can only think of it as the aftermath of what Paradise did.

Hmm. Did you hear anything from Genesis Network? I was too busy to check.

The general teller bulletin board didnt, but there have been many stories in our support office lately. No, rather than stories, they are more like rumors. Seeing how rumors suddenly spread, it seems like someone is intentionally leaking information.

It must be from the higher-ups. So what are the rumors?

The upper echelon concluded that the cause of this situation was resentment from excessive interference with Hage, and decided to relax their policy on Hage, especially lifting a considerable number of restrictions on Earth where this situation occurred.

Thats a radical change in many ways. It must not have been easy to make that choice.

The grade adjustment of Earth, which was about to be discarded, was probably because of that. Of course, your influence is not small either.

Me?

Yes. Senior, can you take a look at this?

Celine said so and immediately opened a hologram window in the air.

She skillfully moved her fingers and showed him the data.

The data seemed to have been prepared in advance, as it was neatly organized.

This is the number of spirits who watch Earths paintings.

The graph drawn with a red arrow was steadily rising. If someone didnt tell him, he would have believed it was a quadratic function graph.

The graph started to rise after Yu-hyun showed his prowess in the Constantinople siege.

Yu-hyun stroked his chin.

Looking at the summary, it was impressive.

And most of the Spirits have visited your library, senior.

That many? More than I thought.

The number of viewers for the Story Room had already exceeded 11,000.

If other Tellers heard that, they would be green with envy.

Celine nodded as if she expected that.

Thats a very senior-like comment. Anyway, the rumor spread so much that Spirits who were interested in you came flocking, and then more Spirits who were interested in them came along. Thanks to that, the rating of Earth, which was almost forgotten, increased day by day.

So, you decided to lift the limit while you were at it?

Thats right.

And the one who pulled the trigger was Yu-hyun, who faced Chulapantaka.

I vaguely thought it would be like this, but hearing it from a third party made me feel different.

Yu-hyun had brought about a huge change, and the future he knew was almost gone after this incident.

Its a shame that all my knowledge flew away, but it was necessary.

He didnt regret it.

Yu-hyun was well aware that his choices and actions would change the future.

Rather, Yu-hyun would have been in trouble if the world didnt change after he did so much.

Oh, by the way. Senior, theres another official document that came down.

Another one?

Its an official document that only came to Tellers in the Story Room who are above manager level. I received it on your behalf since you werent here.

An additional document? Whats it about?

She covered her mouth with her hand and coughed politely.

Please pretend you didnt hear that.

Sure, sure.

Yu-hyun decided not to point out Celines softened attitude.

So did you learn a lot recently? How is it? Do you still want to come to the analysis room?

Thats something Ill never change my mind about since I joined Celestial Stock Company.

However, Celine said.

Im still inexperienced and lacking, so I need to learn more from you, senior.

Is that so?

Whats with that tone? Its not because I like it now. You know that, right? Its not like that at all. Dont misunderstand.

Of course. I wont misunderstand. I understand very well.

Yu-hyun smiled faintly. Celine frowned at his expression.

Dont laugh.

Ill be careful.

He said that, but Yu-hyun didnt erase his smile.

***

After parting with Celine and leaving the managers room, Yu-hyun was greeted by Kwon Jia.

She was sitting quietly on the sofa. Her eyes were more sunken than usual.

The fact that she, who should always be in the training room, was waiting for Yu-hyun here meant that she had something to say to him.

And that the matter was very important.

Yu-hyun naturally sat on the sofa opposite Kwon Jia.

Did you wait long?

I didnt wait that long. More importantly, thats not what matters.

Then let me ask first. Jia-ssi. Have you ever experienced a similar situation to this one?

Kwon Jia didnt answer.

It was unlike her to not answer yes or no as usual, which made Yu-hyun call her name again.

Jia-ssi?

I dont know.

I cant remember.

Kwon Jia said it herself, but she looked confused.

I cant rememberBut you didnt say you dont know for sure, so you thought you might have a vague idea?

Thats right.

Kwon Jia had lost some of her memories over the long cycles.

Whether they were naturally eroded by time. Or whether they were forcibly erased by someone. Or whether she had limited her memory by her own will, she had forgotten.

But Kwon Jia felt it vaguely.

A long time ago, in the early days of her regression.

She had definitely experienced a similar situation to this one.

But the number of times wasnt that many.

And regressing means you failed then too.

Thats right.

Yu-hyun lightly agreed with Kwon Jias words and looked at her book.

There were still books above Kwon Jias head, and the light flowing from the books was a brilliant rainbow that blended together.

However, most of the books were locked and Yu-hyun couldnt open them now.

Ive been promoted, but I still cant access them. Its not enough to just raise my level. There must be another reason.

Yu-hyun thought it was related to Kwon Jias memory loss.

That is, the memory of that cycle was not simply forgotten, but something had forcibly sealed it.

He had no way to break it, so he had no choice but to lose his appetite.

But why did you wait for me?

Its because of this memory.

You mean the one you cant remember?

Yes.

Yu-hyun didnt understand why Kwon Jia was waiting for him with a memory she couldnt recall.

Before he could think of anything, Kwon Jia took the initiative.

Surely, what happened this time is one of the rare cases in my past cycles. The knowledge we mostly remembered turned out to be practically nothing. You agree with that, right?

I was also a bit worried about that.

And I have a way to get this memory back.

That was enough to surprise Yu-hyun.
