Chapter 184: Let's skip the tea

Social Gathering of Time and Space: Your consciousness enters the social field of time and space.

If I had a normal class.

I would have grumbled what kind of skill effect this was.

Not only it was unhospitable, but the effect was also difficult.

A social gathering of time and space.

But what was my class?

The ultimate in inhospitality, the demon hunter.

In addition, I had prior knowledge acquired through experience.

As an experienced person, I was able to guess to a certain extent.

If its a matter of consciousness, it might be similar to an exorcism.

Consciousness.

When I thought of exorcism, there was nothing particularly difficult about it.

Even the flow of time passed separately during the exorcism.

If the exorcism is a consciousness that only demon hunters and demons can enterAre you saying that the social gathering of space and time is a consciousness that only the transcendents can enter?

When I put it that way, my shoulders felt tense for no reason.

I felt like I had become a VIP or something.

At the same time, I couldnt help but feel surprised.

Anyway, the words I said ended up coming true.

I had talked big to Harkon.

Will you trust me?

As I said, there was no way to solve it.

However, now that I had learned [Social Gathering of Time and Space].

I found the only option to make that statement come true.

Social gathering of time and space.

In that place, there was a swordman who was a transcendent like me.

I might end up meeting Shegwin.

[Quest: Useless Act]

Shegwin regarded the demon hunt as useless.

Talk to Shegwin.

Get to know the truth of his actions.

Encounter Shegwin (In Progress)

Of course, there was also the quest left by the Qinberg Machine Tower.

Defend Antonium. (In Progress)

Maybe I could also achieve the goal of the main quest.

But there was too little information.

More importantly, I knew that there would be rules so I couldnt move too hastily.

Just like the exorcism, they must have some rules.

The rule of exorcism was simple.

The person with superior mental power dominated everything in consciousness.

However, this was a consciousness that only the transcendents could enter.

The rules probably wouldnt be that simple.

I wanted to search the Internet if I could

But would it have any relevant information?

No social gathering is more important than work.

Yeah, I knew it.

I only submitted my leave of absence to the Mage Tower.

Grandfel-nim was saying that the documents on the desk in the Yusra Kingdom office were a separate matter.

I was shocked as I looked at the documents.

Is this the data sent from AAU

A word caught my eye.

[Stagnant Water Community].

I was able to realize it after reading the contents carefully.

This is the Social Gathering of Time and Space, isnt it?!

Thanks to this, I found out.

The social gathering in time and space.

The rules of consciousness.

I didnt hesitate.

The evening when the sun set.

I stood in front of the mirror.

I wore [Luxury Item Duke Swalins cherished item].

I adjusted my clothes and arranged the brooches. If anyone asked, Are you trying to look cool just because youre entering a social field? I could answer firmly.

Its not a very pleasant thing.

For the first time in a long time, I was reminded of an embarrassing setting.

As the heir of a great family. In the past, Grandfels presence in social circles was like an oasis or mirage in the desert. Since he didnt enjoy social events, he didnt show up often. The day he unexpectedly appeared, he caught everyones attention

Really.

My hands and feet were shriveling so hard I wanted to cut them off!

Even if I tried to generously understand, I really couldnt.

He was just popular.

I could have simply written it like that, right?

Why was it so specific and full of details?!

Hes not even aware that hes receiving attention, but in reality, he is admired by so many people that he has distinct followers

A stormy period of puberty.

It was a setting full of blatant desire.

I was so embarrassed that I couldnt even look in the mirror.

Naturally.

Grandfel was as brazen as ever.

Soon, I ended up talking calmly.

But if you cant avoid it, you have to enjoy it.

Please.

I prayed earnestly.

I hoped my dark history wouldnt be repeated.

*

Tap tap

A sound echoed through the hall.

Everyones attention was focused on it.

Everyone knew who the unfamiliar appearance belonged to.

Sword Saint Shegwins eyebrows twitched.

The one who brought a high-ranking demon king to hell.

A high-ranking demon king.

Even for him.

No, even for the transcendents gathered here, it was a being that they didnt dare to confront. Indeed. The owner of this presence was the one who brought that high-ranking demon king into hell alone.

I couldnt believe it even when I saw it.

Those who evaluated the qualifications of the new transcendents were the existing transcendents gathered here.

Therefore, the transcendents were astonished when they confirmed that someone had the achievement to come to the social gathering of time and space for the first time in a long time.

And they voted yes.

It was a unanimous passage that had never happened before.

I never thought there would be someone with that kind of ability left on the continent.

Indeed, the Arcana Continent was really vast.

Shegwin found this more shocking than the news of the elves appearing.

The birth of such a transcendent was surprising.

It was also unexpected that he came straight to the social gathering.

Someone spoke about it.

It took years just for someone to get in.

The social gathering of time and space.

This was not a space that actually existed.

It was a space dominated by consciousness, and you must realize it yourself to recognize its existence or approach it.

And even if you did notice it.

You cant dare to enter easily.

People who had similar levels.

It wouldnt be easy to step into a space where there were more transcendents.

Of course, hostile actions against each other were prohibited in social settings.

Actually, regardless of the rules.

As you could see, the transcendents didnt talk to each other except on special occasions.

They could guess each others personalities and abilities to some extent.

So each one of them knew very well that there was nothing good to be gained from fighting.

But, you cant know that unless you experience it.

Shegwin himself knew the rules only thanks to his own experiences. It was the experience of pulling out a sword at a social gathering due to a dispute and being kicked out of the consciousness.

Hes a rookie with great confidence.

Right.

The hasty quick entry must be an expression of confidence.

Above all, they knew that from the confident footsteps that were getting closer and closer.

Tap tap

Soon, under everyones attention.

A new transcendent appeared in the social gathering.

The chandelier on the ceiling was shining brightly.

Instead of losing his presence under it.

His silver hair glowed softly.

Indeed, the silver-haired man didnt seem intimidated at all.

Hes quick to grasp the situation. Indeed, was his achievement true?

I cant believe hes not even wearing any equipment.

From which region does that clothing come from?

It was an outfit they had never seen on the continent.

Nevertheless, it didnt feel foreign.

The appropriately fitting top and bottom suited the man well as if it were his own skin.

Even his accessories gave off a presence without being excessive. The mans appearance alone was enough to attract everyones attention.

Didnt he have even overwhelming achievements among transcendents, such as defeating a high-ranking demon king? Perhaps that was why it felt like there was a halo reflected behind the man.

But the most surprising thing was.

!

The mans behavior was natural.

No matter how aware you were of the consciousness space, what was seen and felt was no different from reality.

His attention should have been drawn to the luxurious and magnificent social hall that couldnt be found on the Arcana Continent.

Tap tap

The man didnt even pay attention to all of that.

As if he was used to it.

He began to walk across the hall.

Sounds of mind turning could be heard everywhere.

If someone is familiar with a place like this, they must be noble or royal. Theres no way I wouldnt recognize a person like that?

Its fascinating. How transcendental is his strength that allowed him to defeat a high-ranking demon king alone?

No, thats more than just being familiar

Hes bold, isnt he?

Someone murmured quietly.

It gradually changed into curiosity.

This was clearly his first visit to a social gathering in time and space.

It was as if he had known everything.

Considering that the man moved without hesitation.

He seemed to have a purpose.

The spinning minds paused.

I want to avoid him as much as possible.

What if the mans purpose was related to them?

They never wanted to be involved.

It might be different if this were the Arcana Continent.

I would have been able to measure the gap between us.

But the rules of the social gathering couldnt be defied.

All hostile acts between each other were prohibited.

Because of that, it was impossible to guess the opponents power here.

It would be correct to say that the concept didnt even exist and couldnt be felt.

Even if you cant feel it, he has achievements.

An achievement that no one has ever set.

The first to pass unanimously.

Tap tap

Toward the mans actions.

In addition to interest, they also started to feel concerned.

Then the man sat down.

So, for what reason did he come to a social gathering in time and space?

In the tension.

All eyes waited for the mans lips to open

.

.

.

Damn it.

My dark history never failed me.

Grandfel-nim, who claimed to have no interest in the social world, was not paying attention.

But I could feel the pouring gaze.

I really cant live, me from the past.

Social oasis and mirage?!

That was how much attention I was getting.

Does it make sense that youre not aware of it? Seriously!!

Tap tap

I assure you.

For me, this social gathering was more burdensome to me than any other rupture.

Naturally, with this dark history that messed with my body like never before.

I could tell that the people here were not ordinary.

Starting with their equipment, everyone has a stagnant water vibe.

[Stagnant Water Community].

That was clearly stated in the information delivered by AAU. It was a temporary name because it was just an idea, but I could recognize it at a glance just by looking at the concept.

[Rotten Water Community: Including NPCs. Its a special place for ultra-high-level players with certain qualifications. Here are the rules]

What if only transcendent was included in the specific qualification?

It basically would be the Social Gathering of Time and Space.

Indeed.

Just like Grandfel said, AAU was not a bunch of people who explored the side of creation for nothing

But why a social gathering?

On the other hand, a feeling of resentment welled up.

Anyway, lets not stop walking if possible.

And lets not look around for no reason.

Its helpful in times like this.

Thanks to having an upright posture everywhere.

I sat down in a luxurious chair without paying attention to the pouring gazes.

Then I looked at the message that naturally appeared.

[Currently available menu]

According to the rules.

All facilities of the social gathering in time and scape were free. If Arcana was just a game, people would have overlooked it, thinking that it was just a service for the stagnant water people.

But you had to know to truly be able to see.

Now I knew why.

Because there is no substance.

Consciousness.

In the end, everything that existed was not real.

That was why they were offering it for free.

But could a cat just pass a fish, or a sparrow just pass a mill^[1]A cat cant just pass a fish/A sparrow cant just pass a mill = To be unable to pass by what one likes or what will benefit oneself. In this context, would Homen just pass up the opportunity to try facilities just because its not real? Of course, not. ? I, Grandfel, looked at the message. Since it was free, it didnt conflict with his pure integrity.

However.

Hmm.

Dont be so blatantly sullen, Grandfel.

Having green tea in a space like this.

I wondered if green tea bags could even exist.

[Youve canceled your order.]

Yeah, why would I have tea in this kind of situation?

I had a clear purpose in coming to the social gathering in time and space.

I didnt hesitate any longer.

In the spacious social hall.

Dark blue hair.

Bright blue eyes.

I looked at Sword Saint Shegwin.

Then I opened my mouth.

Shegwin.

He sieged Antonium.

Not only that, he destroyed a Qirnberg Machine Tower.

It was an act that had no trace of pride.

Naturally, no kind words could come out of my mouth.

Let me ask you.

?

Are you aware of your sins?

!

Still, I cant believe you said it so straightforwardly.

You must have become sensitive because theres no green tea on the menu, Grandfel.

But I couldnt take back what I said.

From now on, think and answer wisely.

I continued in a voice that was colder than ever before.

Your disposition will be decided based on your answer.

!!!
