Episode 387
Whioooooo…
The shadow separated from Yurim’s body.
A shadow in the shape of a human approached Shinyu.
And he stroked his hair.
“Cough… Seol-ah, is it snowfall?”
“…I’m listening.”
“It’s amazing… I guess I’m the worst among Master’s students. I… I thought I was really strong…”
“…Don’t say that.”
“You know… I found out after bumping into you guys.”
“…what?”
Shin Yu held Kang Seol’s hand.
“It’s not Yurim. The way to get out of here… wasn’t Yurim…”
“…What?”
“It was me. Hehe… I guess it was me. I guess it was a fantasy. It wasn’t a side effect of the medicine…”
“What are you talking about?”
Shinyu’s fantasy was real.
“It’s not the illusion of medicine… the dream demon dwells in me and whispers. I have to kill Yu-rim… That’s right… From the beginning, I should have killed myself, not Yu-rim… I only realized that now…”
The Demon Beast of Dreams.
An evil being coiled around the second gateway.
He was preventing us from escaping from the dream.
Sigh…
“Yurim… Snowfall… It’s over. “It’s time to wake up from this dream.”
“….”
“In the end… you were right, Snowfall.”
Without Yu-rim, who overcame the Yasha, he would never have been able to defeat Shin-yu, who had reached such a high level.
The final snowfall was right.
“…I’m sorry Yurim.”
“It was fun, Shinyu.”
“Slowly… come and wait… I’ll be there.”
Touuk…
[You have achieved unprecedented results at the Gate of Twisted Dreams.]
[You obtain additional rewards.]
[When you wake up from the dream, you gain some of the abilities acquired in the dream.]
…
Three makes two . It has been done.
Kugugugung…
[It’s time to wake up from the dream.]
[The dream world collapses.]
…
The world beyond the horizon was collapsing, just like what happened in the library of all things.
It started from the farthest place from Kangseol and Yurim.
The world was getting smaller by the minute.
The continent fell into thin air.
Srrrrrrrrr…
Yurim and Kangseol sat next to each other with their hands folded.
“Haha….”
“Haha….”
The snowstorm stopped.
The snow didn’t stop falling.
The weather just stopped.
The falling snow was floating in the air and there was no movement. The heartbeat of the world stopped.
Soon the world will disappear.
Perhaps grandiose music will sound along with the curtain call.
“Long… it was a dream, right?”
“Really… I did.”
The two talked.
The story of the world we reached at the end was quite simple.
“There were so many ridiculous things that happened.”
Countless people who entered the cruel hell but were led to the light.
Goal run.
Santos.
The characters in the tent and even Yoohyeon.
They all had the soul of Kangseol.
It reminded me of all the people I had passed by, to the point where the word ‘light-bulb’ was appropriate.
“Seol-ah.”
“huh.”
“If I had people like that… wouldn’t the yaksha have been born?”
“…maybe.”
A girl found in a dumpster at a loading dock had infinite potential. That such a being could become a demonic spirit that ensnares people in sin.
Even though I knew the future, it was something I couldn’t believe.
In the end, it was something that happened between people.
“I made so many choices… and I had so many regrets.”
“And yet I chose until the end.”
Drudduddud…
The vibrations of the world collapsing reached here.
“Now let’s go back.”
“….”
“…Yurim?”
Yurim did not answer.
“…isn’t it?”
“Seol, actually… there is one last choice left.”
“I’m going back with you. “That’s my choice.”
“No, the remaining choice is not yours. “It’s my responsibility.”
“…What are you talking about?”
There was no time.
The collapse of the world will accelerate.
“Do you know how Yasha was born?”
“….”
“By denying the world. Yasha always thought that if it were a world like this, it would be nice if it disappeared.”
“…What does that matter?”
“Through this dream… the source was broken.”
Drop…
drop…
Yurim shed tears.
“I came to like the world. “I no longer hate you…”
“Let’s go back… please…”
Yurim shakes her head.
“Yaksha can no longer exist. “If you can’t deny the world… you haven’t even been born.”
If so, I tried to tell her to deny it, but Kang Seol kept her mouth shut.
That’s not Yurim.
It’s just a yaksha.
“You understand my choice… right?”
“…I understand.”
Returning to the yaksha is a simple matter.
All I had to do was erase all of Yurim’s memories.
Then, everything that happened here will be like it never happened.
The world will be denied again.
But…
“Well… I can’t pretend it never happened, Seol. “Everything that happened to us… and to Yurim… I couldn’t make it not happen.”
Sigh…
Kang Seol hugged Yu Rim without saying a word.
“Hehe… it feels weird to be hugged by a shadow.”
“no?”
“I was surprised that it was warmer than I expected. “I was always… scared, I hated the dark.”
“….”
“But not anymore.”
Yurim looked at Snowfall.
“You were pitch black to me.”
“…Pitch black light?”
“If I walked straight along as the light flowed out… I wasn’t scared. We were together. how about you?”
“…what?”
“Did you hate me because I was so weak and unsightly under the mask?”
Kang Seol laughed, her lips quivering.
“It has nothing to do with the mask.”
Kugugugugung…
The vibrations became stronger.
Collapse is getting closer.
“I have to leave, Seol. “A stopped world doesn’t suit you.”
“…What happens to you?”
“It will disappear like this.”
“….”
“But it will remain.”
She has already made up her mind.
“It becomes a story inside you.”
“Story…”
– said the Master. You don’t necessarily need a purpose to become strong.
– …Really?
– Yes, you said this instead. Ahem… we need to talk.
– …story?
– huh! They say all strength comes with a story. Um… So I… I
told Yu-rim a story that I couldn’t tell you back then.
The feelings I couldn’t convey.
“Now I am your story.”
“Yurim… I…”
A soft touch came over me.
Yu-rim kissed Kang-seol’s eyes.
“Now I can see the world you see when you fly.”
“….”
Kugung…
The house they were staying in fell to the bottom.
Soon they too will disappear.
“I’m thankful that I have something to share… after all the time I’ve been taking it from you. “I always received it from you…”
“You’re with Yurim, right?”
“huh! We’re together. Oh… and….”
She laughed.
“Happy birthday, Seol-ah.”
“….”
“I was really happy… I had this dream… I was really happy…”
“….”
Emotions bursting out.
“I… Ugh… I really… I really don’t want to break up with you, but… Ugh… I’m sorry… Ugh… I… I’m a yaksha… It was a really happy dream.”
Snap…
Snowfall pushing towards a collapsing cliff.
Yurim, who was crying, tried to smile at this moment.
“What kind of dream was I to you?”
The world is moving away.
This is the last time with Yurim.
The two of us were left again in a space of only one pyeong.
The wolf remained by her side.
said the wolf.
“It will be lonely. “To be left alone.”
“that’s right.”
“It must be painful. “Disappearing.”
“that’s right.”
“You might be forgotten.”
“….”
Yurim looked at the wolf and shook her head.
“it is not so.”
“…You’re right. I guess so. “I will cherish it forever.”
The two leaned on each other.
“Thank you, Yacha.”
“I am. “Thank you, Yurim.”
“You get hurt by people and you heal with people.”
“Everyone in the world is like that.”
“haha! “Why…”
Yurim said, looking at the disappearing world.
“The whole world has stopped, but the tears haven’t stopped, right? Ugh….”
“Of course. “You have to adapt.”
“Can we meet again?”
“What if one day… he becomes a god?”
“Ah… that’s…”
“He’s a person who believes and can accomplish anything.”
“…Shall I believe it?”
She stopped crying.
“Okay, this time I want to trust the yaksha.”
The appearance of Yurim leaning on the yaksha resembled the character for human (?).
* * *
Everyone tried to wake up from their dream.
[I wake up from a dream.]
[The mid-term settlement of the long journey is made.]
…
[Compensation is set. Only a portion of the abilities acquired are taken.]
That is not the yaksha’s way.
The world that is defeated by Yaksha loses everything.
[The final power of Yasha (??) is revealed.]
[All abilities acquired while breaking through the gateway become usable.]
[Enlightenment! Awakens new abilities.]
[Continuous: Awakens pain tolerance.]
[Enlightenment! Awakens new abilities.]
…
A message that has been confirmed countless times.
Kang Seol felt a change in her body.
His hair was longer than before and his body was stocky.
It’s not just physical changes.
Now he was maintaining the yaksha state.
Snowfall in the state of Yasha was similar to Yurim who had become a night crow.
A black energy, presumed to be a shadow, flowed from the extremities… and
a smiling mask was placed on the face.
Suddenly…
all of its parts except its lower part broke apart and disappeared.
Sigh…
Kang Seol took off the mask and held it in her hand, staring at it blankly.
The mask was pure white.
Tears flowed from Kang Seol’s eyes, but her mouth was smiling.
– What kind of dream was I to you?
“…me too.”
The dream closed for the last time on my 28th birthday.
“It was really… a happy dream, Yurim.”
The second gateway to the jet-black labyrinth.
The Gate of Twisted Dreams ends.
I finally woke up from my dream.
There are no deaths, but there are people left behind.
Now I couldn’t face the same winter again.
[Get ready, a great step is imminent.]
…
A new story is about to begin again.
