Chapter 124
Utopia.
(3) ==================== 2.
A harsh fate awaits those who are possessed by the story.
I'm not just talking about someone who enjoys stories.
enchanted people.
crazy people.
They fell in love again and again, and finally devoted half of their lives to the story.
To them, reality is nothing more than a [world that cannot be a story].
There is no dramatic twist.
There is no shocking ending.
A person is only a person, and can never be reborn as a [character].
disappointment with reality.
contempt for humans.
And above all, the adoration of the story.
Disappointment, contempt, and adoration are the very essence of 'story-enchanted'.
That's why they go wild when the story unfolds in reality, and they cheer when humans are reborn as characters.
They haven't lost their heart temperature.
Just waiting for the moment of enthusiasm and cheers.
"......." Now, the king of all readers is standing in front of me.
“Lee, Lephanta Ai Kim… … Your crossover.”
The man loved the story and built his own library.
“Certainly, that’s an attractive proposition.”
The library he built was so huge and grand that it could cover the whole world, so it was called the Great Library of All Things (萬想) because it contained the ideas of all things.
“That’s right, this seat can only provide you with the apocalypse.
Because that is the iron rule of this seat.
All stories have the right to be completed on their own, so if the main event hastily intervened...
… "The man's lips are trembling now.
'He's trembling.' I was sure.
Eventually, the librarian will be persuaded.
No matter how realistic the logic is, he will not be able to persuade the librarian, but the words [would you like to see the story?] One word can seduce the librarian to hell.
“Ah, if you don’t want to see it, quit.”
It's an offer you can't refuse: "I'm just offering you a generous offer.
I'm going to make a scene with your favorite characters together.
If you don't like it, don't." “……”
“But, do you really want to see me?”
The librarian's face changed in real time.
His emotions were fully revealed.
Anguish.
Anxiety.
Crossovers that were otherwise impossible to read, desire for fancy desserts.
“I made a contract with the tower.”
The breath that came out of his lips was hot.
“Not all constellations have a contract with the Tower.
Only the constellation that signed the contract can enter the tower.
Some kind of tenant.
Instead of renting a floor from the tower, the main seat has come to bear various [restrictions].”
“What kind of restrictions?”
“Only 'Apocalypse' will be provided to humans...
.”
The librarian waved his hand.
Every time his hand gestured through the air, Touk, Tuuk, and the books that had been hovering around the director fell to the floor.
“And the Apocalypse has multiple meanings.
The Lephanta Aigim epic is not one of them.”
The books were nothing more than the librarian's bodyguard.
The other day, when the hunters were determined to attack, the library chief had nothing but the power of books to subdue it.
“A contract is a contract… It is not possible to break this seat at will.
The pagoda, the owner of the tower, will be very angry with the main seat.
I don't want to make Tapju angry.
Well.
As it turns out, a tenant is not a weak point to the owner of the building...
?”
In other words.
The librarian was disarming himself.
“Tea, just for reference… .”
Dozens of books were all gone.
Neutralizing all the power he possessed, the librarian looked at me.
“Actually, the main force is nothing special… .”
"......." "Not only the main throne, but also many constellations.
Although he has special powers, there are often cases where he is not very good at fighting.
Without a book, this book is simply a weak reader.
Well.
therefore… .
You know what I mean, Confucius...
?”
indeed.
Got it.
"Yes.
You cannot break the contract.”
I strode over to the librarian.
The distance got closer.
The librarian was clasping his sleeves in both hands.
And with a nervous expression, he looked up at me.
“Unless it is [unavoidable circumstances].”
I grabbed the librarian by the neck and lifted him up.
it was easy [The head of the library in the corner of the room] had a light weight.
Although the sleeves were so long and thick, once lifted, there was no resistance.
"Ugh...!" The librarian sighed.
“Give me the [Lephanta Aigim Epic].”
"Ah… … "The trembling on the library chief's lips trembled even more.
Threats and coercion.
Even though the constellation, the master of one world, was threatened by a hunter, the librarian made no resistance.
Even though I showed you.
I believed in you.
I would betray my throne in this way…! Ah, I am sorry.
That’s why so many stories warn you not to trust humans….”
This gentleman's acting skills aren't great.
I smiled and squeezed the neck a little more strongly.
Hi, the librarian moaned.
"Give it up." “……”
“Otherwise I will kill you.
You perverted child.”
A shadow slowly crept into the library chief's face as he looked up at me.
We were having a bout.
But the librarian felt the sincerity in my voice.
Of course.
If the threat is enough to deceive the tower, it must be true to some extent.
“Rice, you are a pervert.
Confucius.
The words are too harsh...
?”
“The guy who collects human hair and nails is a pervert.
You say that being killed by Lephanta Aigim is a lifelong dream.
wishing it was Is it normal to want to die for the character you love the most?”
The librarian shut his mouth.
"Ah.
Oh yeah.
Come to think of it, I am also a character you love.”
I raised the corners of my lips.
"how.
Don't wait, let's make your wish come true now." "now… … ?”
“Will you die here, at my hands?”
The librarian flinched and shrugged his shoulders.
It convulsed as if struck by lightning.
Envy and desire flowed in the eyes looking up at me.
Little by little, with trembling hands, the librarian took something out of his arms.
[Lephanta Aigim Epic].
An old, worn-out book that has already been read hundreds of times and is stained with scratches.
Books that the librarian, who boasts an innumerable collection, cherishes the most and carries in his arms.
“I’ll give it to you… .”
The library head gave me that precious thing that was more precious than his own life.
"You did well." I still did not let go of the collar and snatched [Lefanta Ai Kim Epic] with one hand.
“Ah,”
said the librarian, opening his mouth.
The head of the librarian’s face was now a mess.
He was trembling with a mixture of euphoria and self-hatred.
Reading is not possible by grade Restricted number of people: Reading is not possible according to the current grade ※Currently being serialized Introduction: Reading is not possible according to the current grade + “Hoo.”
I can't read at all unless the book has been approved by the librarian.
This is a new fact I learned.
I looked down at the librarian with interest.
“Hey, the Apocalypse has been granted by the main throne, so it is only visible to you….
All books in this collection are prohibited.
They should not be read recklessly by humans….”
“Then explain it with your mouth.
Directly.”
"......." The library head couldn't deny my words.
The person he said he loved the most.
The library head confessed to himself the life history of Lepanta Ai Kim.
is in the same direction with you.”
"What?" “He was born in the same world, in the same region as you, in the same race.
He is not only of the same sex as you, but also of the same sex.”
And the words the librarian spoke of were unexpected.
The librarian rolled his eyes and muttered, "The surname Aigim was written by Sal Cheonseong himself.
It's a simple word put together.
The area where you were born No, he spoke the English language.”
British? English? 'Ai' and 'Kim': “…does ‘I’ mean ‘Mr.
Kim’?”
“Exactly.”
God.
"Didn't I tell you? Once is a coincidence.
Twice is a relationship.
When you reach the third time, it becomes inevitable.
You and Salcheonseong have already made countless contacts, so it can be said that they are inevitably connected.
there.”
I opened my eyes wide at the unexpected identity of Salcheonseong.
So far, the only trending people I've known are the assholes with ponytails that look really good on them, and that she was even my trending character.
It was at a time when I was so skeptical about my trend without realizing it.
The head of the library said, "At that time, Salcheonseong was only a high school student.
Of course, Salcheonseong was summoned to another world and suffered extreme confusion.
there was.”
"...wait.
Wait." I was possessed by a strange sense of déjà vu.
Wasn't it a plot I'd heard a lot somewhere? "You're a high school student summoned to another world.
That's perfect..." "exactly." The librarian nodded his head slightly.
"The genre of [Lepanta Aikim Epic] is [a high school student who has crossed over to another world to play chess].
Let's call it by an abbreviation, so-called [Epic].
Except I'm not old enough to be called..." I opened my mouth to say, 'I heard that when I was a child, it was already a word that went extinct along with the dinosaurs.' Is it true that Salcheonseong, Lephanta Ai-Kim was like a dinosaur? “Of course, it would be unfair to say that Salcheonseong was simply a person who played [Kpoppan].
I have gone through countless hardships and hardships…”
Every time the library chief recites the story of Lephanta Aigim, his voice becomes light and permeates into [Lepanta Aigim Epic], and the light that permeates into readable characters and settles in the epic.
-A very long time I.
-There were people living on the dead body left by the ancient dragon emperor, "Salcheonseong...
I have set foot on the 20th floor that you own now." -They wanted a hero -Because there were no heroes among them, "That's where we started our journey through the world." -They wished for God -God granted their wish, "It was a journey to build a nation..." And as the book began to glow white like the rest of the apocalypse, the library chief looked down with fear rather than: “And now, Salcheonseong is on the fiftieth floor.”
The 50th floor, the same location of the Salcheonseong Fortress that the background commander was talking about.
"Here...
there is a problem.
You haven't reached the 50th floor yet.
You haven't left the [beginner's area] yet.
[50th floor] is such a special place… it is strictly, really, strictly forbidden to transfer beginners to the 50th floor.”
Even the rest of the listeners, holding their breath, were astonished at those words: “The 50th floor or lower is a beginner’s area?”
“How hard we worked to get here…”
I wasn’t surprised.
I knew for a long time that up to the 10th floor was treated as a tutorial.
I heard from the spirit behind the fact that from the 50th floor, you will compete with other world hunters.
'In other words, not competing with other world hunters until the 50th floor is a measure to protect beginners.' After thinking that far, I said.
“Does it mean that you can’t send me up to the 50th floor under any circumstances?”
The librarian's face fell again.
"that… no.
Whoever uploads...
It’s only possible if the manager pays for it.”
“Then it doesn’t matter.
Aren't you going to pay the price?" “Hey, I can’t… … "The head of the library cried.
"At the very least, limit the number of people to just one, Gongja Kim, you..." "...Okay." Even if the librarian didn't appeal this desperately, I was going to face Lephanta Ai Kim on my own.
"Send me to the 50th floor." The librarian closed his eyes tightly, "...don't regret it." “I’m going so I don’t regret it.”
Hearing my decisive reply, the head of the library gave up.
He touched the cover of [The Epic of Lephanta Aikim] with trembling hands, and whispered in a weak voice: “The King.
Please specify…”
At that moment: [Warning!] [Anomalous access detected.] ['Chairman in the corner of the room' is penalized.] A ferocious voice rang in his head.
He seemed to have been heard, but the head of the library shrugged his shoulders and did not stop speaking.
[I warn you once more.] ['The head of the library in the corner of the room' will be penalized.] The head of the library took a breath.
“It doesn’t matter.
Go, king.
… … And I want you to show the main figure you are with Salcheonseong.”
Paaah! A white light enveloped my vision.
[An abnormal approach has been detected.] A constant beep sounded even as my eyes went white.
[Warning!] [The blessing of the superstition given to you is stopped.] [You can no longer observe the other person's favoritism!] [The protection of the Goddess given to you is stopped.] [More You can no longer observe the other person's psychological state! ] The next moment.
[An unnamed resident of the 'Tower' enters the 50th floor.] I am a level no one in our world has ever reached.
I first set foot on the '50th floor' of the tower.125.
