Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 99
EP.99 Lost Legacy
“It’s dangerous.”
right hand is hot Blood flowed from his hands down his sleeves.
Callis couldn’t even breathe properly. The sharp blade pierced her hand and cut halfway through her neck. If his hands trembled even a little, the blade digging through his neck would cut through that much flesh.
It was fortunate that Kalis was a magic class. Thanks to his sense of magic, he sensed an ominous swelling of the magic flowing through his biological terminal, and although he couldn’t cancel it, he succeeded in blocking it in time.
Somehow it seemed like someone had urgently warned her, but whatever.
Had it failed, the blade would have pierced her throat.
The palm and the blade confronted each other. Khalis forced her right hand, which was throbbing with pain, to push the blade away. Blood flowed from the hole in his neck. When I pushed it to some extent, the blade broke with a thump.
The blade, made to pierce the neck with one stroke, had to pay the price for its sharpness in terms of durability. It is disqualified as a weapon, but a suicide tool does not have to be multi-use.
Khalis pulled out the blade embedded in her right hand. Her blood dripped down the glass-thin blade. Blood flowed from the wound on his neck and soaked his apron.
barely saved his life. However, this was not even a postponement of death.
Rather, he might have turned down the opportunity to die painlessly.
‘From the beginning… to abandon me…’
Callis received the package. The reason she was able to volunteer for this mission with peace of mind was the existence of the escape package. Even if something dangerous happens, I can escape with this.
But… the package that she thought was the only way out was actually the despair that had been waiting to swallow her at the end of hope.
thoughts stop
The despair of being betrayed, the loneliness of being left alone, and the fear of approaching death.
Before the body breaks, the mind must first break.
‘Where did it go wrong? What did I do wrong…’
Only that question lingered in Callis’ mind.
Her consciousness was blurred from being driven to the limit, and someone whispered in her ear.
“Lieutenant Colonel Callice Creets. That’s a big deal. The country doubts you and the organization has abandoned you. Even now I am in danger of losing my life.”
His voice was full of tenderness and at the same time tinged with joy. It seemed like an innocent child asking out of curiosity.
“Were you satisfied with Level 3? How does level 4 look? Was it worth abandoning all of this to pursue?”
“Ah…”
Lieutenant Colonel Callis recalled an old memory in the blurry vision.
The story of her childhood when she was the main character. The countless memories that made her shine. Until her mother died of illness, she was the center of the world until the cold reality ate away fairy tales.
After reality came to the house, she was pushed to the outskirts of the world, but at least her father’s center was her.
When she returned home from secondary school on the weekends, her father always stood at the door waiting for her. Occasionally, when her father was out of sight, she habitually opened the tin mailbox. Then, a letter written in round letters on stiff paper was waiting for her instead of her father.
Then one day. Unusually, there was neither the father nor the letter that day. Instead, only two officers in uniform were waiting for her, standing straight at the door.
It was a war notice.
A house with a yard An old but luxurious carriage A sword with gold leaf and special accessories.
Everything with memories became a legacy. I was told that if the inheritance rights were not acquired, all the property would be returned to the military.
In the midst of her sorrow and confusion, she only understood one thing.
You have to be level 3 to get it back. That was all.
What is lost becomes an obsession. For her, who lost one by one, the legacy was the last remaining rope.
Fortunately, she had the talent and graduated from secondary school with excellent grades and went to the Higher Military Academy. Somehow surviving in that gap, she became a third-level citizen and inherited her father’s legacy.
The joy and relief she felt then could not be compared to anything else.
However, people’s greed is endless, and they are more afraid of being taken away than gaining.
The inheritance belonged to Kalis, but he did not fully own it. Because he had no right to inherit the property. In order to obtain all the rights, there was no choice but to reach level 4.
greed and obsession. Because of that, Khalis made a risky choice. A secret society that I had only heard about through rumors… They joined hands with the warrant of creation.
Feigning loyalty to the military, immersing herself in the lord of all things, and pretending to hate beasts and beasts, Calis slowly made her way to success.
All of her actions were driven by her obsession with what was left.
Callis was an ordinary person.
No grandiose cause, no great loyalty.
“…I don’t want to die…”
From the beginning, she had no intention of dying.
I didn’t have a goal I wanted to achieve even at the cost of my life.
just thought i could do it. Since survival was possible even for a level 0 laborer, I thought it would be possible for her as a level 3.
Maybe survival itself wasn’t a difficult problem…but not now.
“Do you want to live?”
Callis nodded. had to live Because she was normal.
Then the voice laughed and went away. It seemed to echo in the dark.
“If it is so precious, watch it with all your might. Use everything you have, be prepared to throw away everything but your life, and somehow try to save one life. But it won’t be easy. Others don’t know what your desperate circumstances are and don’t care.”
Before leaving, the voice added a word.
“Except for ordinary people like me who are moved by trivial stories.”
Callis raised her head. I hurriedly looked around, but the owner of the voice was nowhere to be seen.
Was it possessed by a ghost? Callis put on a confused expression, but the question hid itself as always.
Callis also forgot about the voice. It didn’t matter now.
I had to give up everything in order to survive.
everything.
Even if it is pitiful and miserable.
Death did not allow even a moment of leisure. The regressor who climbed the stairs was surely approaching Kalis. Callis met her death with her bleeding right hand hanging down.
A chilly feeling pierced her body.
“Any advice?”
let’s go back How did Callis live until now?
The answer was simple. because nothing was done
In particular, before touching the king of beasts or laborers, the people who lived here were uncomfortable, but they showed no hostility.
that means.
“…the lord of all things has abandoned me.”
They know the warrant of creation.
I don’t know how a mediocre prisoner knows the military’s most secret organization, but that doesn’t matter.
The important thing is to survive, and for that, the warrant of creation had to be sold.
“The one I gave you to escape was a packet for suicide.”
Don’t appeal to emotion. Because that doesn’t help anything. Opponents won’t be interested either.
instead. Speaking the truth calmly,
Callis unlocked the clothing packet.
As the clothing packet was reverse summoned, the medal hanging from her chest fell to the floor. The medal she once boasted rolled around like a kicked stone.
She became shirtless like that, and immediately fell to her knees.
“Help me.”
bowed his head
This must have caught the regressor’s attention. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have talked to you.
“Does the lord of all beg for his life? I’d rather keep my mouth shut and die proudly. Isn’t that what you mean by human elegance?”
He is only a pony and is willing to reveal everything to save his life… I was about to
say that, but suddenly I was sure that the other person wouldn’t be curious.
Callis brought up another subject instead.
“I have been ordered by my ‘sponsor’ to bring the dog king. He said there would be no one to disturb him, so it would be no different than bringing an obedient dog.”
The only weapon she has is information about the writ of creation.
Callis bowed her head and told her what she knew.
“However, contrary to expectations, there was an obstruction. So another way was needed. The reason why the dog king was chained was because there was a message that it was the way to rule the dog king.”
It was fortunate that I lowered my head. It was because a huge slash passed over her head a moment ago.
At a critical moment, the trajectory of the angels was twisted. The regressor, who was about to kill at once, changed his mind the moment he heard unexpected information.
“That’s funny. You can’t rule a dog king with just a chain. It only fosters a sense of disappointment in humans… Without knowing what the consequences will be if the dog is disappointed in humans.”
“Even the king of beasts has its own rules. Among them, I have been told how to rule the dog king.”
“This is nonsense.”
The regressor, scratching his head in irritation, soon raised a voice full of dissatisfaction.
“Cheet. Why do you think it’s real? If it were the madmen who pierced the nose of the Bison King… they might have thought of another way…”
It drew interest. There was a brief reprieve.
The hope of being alive excites Carlis. Now it was the turn of the wedge.
There was one hypothesis that she had been working on desperately for a short time. A secret that may be the most lethal to the lord of all creation.
sell it off
“I am a throwaway. Even to me, the lord of all things readily handed over the leaves of the World Tree. In addition to that, there is no way that the flow of funds will go unnoticed while secretly operating the organization in the military. The Warrant of All Things has other sources of income, and that’s probably…”
“Ah. I know that. Because they are secretly cultivating the World Tree.”
Callis, who was about to tell at most about the information related to the Guardians of the World Tree, shut her mouth in amazement.
Growing the world tree privately? It’s a huge thing that could turn the world upside down.
than that What the hell is this being that calmly spits out shocking information that could shock the world?
The being calmly shook her head and asked.
“What happened? than that Who is that sponsor?”
“…all communications are passed anonymously and through metaphors, so I don’t know.”
“Does that mean you don’t know?”
“That’s right. I’m guessing he’s more than two ranks higher than me. Because I came here as a litmus… to ensure that the ‘sponsor’ is safe before serving as Tantalus’ instructor.”
“Instructor. A real instructor.”
A voice that gets cold in an instant. Callis instinctively shrank. Fortunately, this life was not directed at her.
The regressor said tiredly.
“Aren’t you tired of these things?”
And silence came. kill or save In the calculations of the regressor, the balance weight swings.
An anxious time passes. The air adds weight while awaiting sentencing. Now, without daring to raise his head, Khalis
broke through the veil of silence with his right arm.
“Haa! Right arm!”
The right arm flew through the air and gripped the window frame. The tin window frame creaked with a strange sound. The voice of the Undead echoed after that.
“Pull me in!!”
A huge body of undead flew towards the hanging right arm. The Undead broke through the window and shouted while rolling on the ground.
“I am here!”
The Undead raised its head and looked left and right. On the right, Kalis is kneeling, and on the other side, a regressor is immersed in contemplation, tinkering with an invisible sword. A look of concern was evident.
“haha! I thought I was a little late, but it looks like I’ve changed my mind! Well done boy!”
The Undead laughed heartily and pushed himself between them.
“okay! The death of those who die easily should not be easy. Short blooming flowers are beautiful. Even if it only blooms for one season, its value is not short! Isn’t it the virtue of an evergreen tree to watch until it loses in time!”
A slight annoyance was added to the shaking scale weight.
Calculation is over. The regressor, who was tired of continuing the battle with the Undead, who would not die even if killed, folded his arms while reaping his cherry blossoms.
“…It’s useless meddling. Who do you think would know that you keep something like this alive? Even a believer would not be interested in the death of a single person.”
“I will find out! I admire the boy’s noble decision, and I won’t ask him for cutting me into seventeen pieces! Although it is correct that there is no way to hold them accountable! ha ha ha!”
Instead of answering that innocent remark, the regressor left a stern warning to Kalis.
“You know how to keep an eye on it. If you did something useless… No, if you were seen walking around alone, I’d kill you without questioning and answering.”
“Of course! I will make sure to stick with you.”
So the death of Calis turned around and walked away. Even though it reached the point where the sound of footsteps could not be heard, Callis could not stand up.
The strength of the body was released. Cold sweat drenched her shirt. In addition to the relief that he had survived, a sense of helplessness that he could not go back covered his entire body.
“Are you gone? Are you gone? did you go?”
The Undead, who glanced in the direction where the regressor disappeared, let out a big sigh and said.
“Whoa. What a rowdy kid! If you are ignorantly strong, you will calmly slaughter my body! If I hadn’t been the Undead, I would have killed fifteen times!”
“I…”
“Thank you! What is a good friend? If you still have a debt in your heart, treat it as if you saved each other once!”
Clearly he was a good man. Without him, Calis would not have been able to save her life.
I should be thankful, but to have that kind of leisure, Calis lost too many things.
Callis murmured weakly.
“…I threw everything in order to survive.”
was suspended from duty. Callis will stand in front of the harsh investigation team and dig into each and every one of her actions. Flaws that even she doesn’t remember may be revealed.
That’s good enough. If the Warlord of All Things found out about her treachery, it wouldn’t end with her being killed.
Perhaps they will die miserably and painfully in a place where no one can see them.
“Face, position, mission, father’s inheritance, everything. I have nothing left… nothing…”
So, Callis has lost everything now.
Everything she had accumulated over the years.
“But you didn’t save your life!”
The Undead tapped Kalis on the shoulder as if to encourage him. Then he smiled and held her trembling body tightly.
“I just want you to survive now! Even if you lose everything, you just have to make up for it on your own. The lieutenant colonel is young! With enough time, you will be able to fill something far more valuable than the wealth you have accumulated so far!”
“But…”
Kalis’s powerless voice was covered by the powerful voice of the Undead.
“Above all, the lieutenant colonel is left with the most important legacy! The most beautiful legacy left by the lieutenant colonel’s father is none other than the lieutenant colonel!”
Callis had no answer. Instead, tears welled up in her eyes. Callis, who shed tears without realizing it, is
a military nation without blood or tears. It is said that the officers of that harsh country resemble the country and dry up without a drop of tears left.
If so, Callis was no longer an officer. Because she had both squirming blood and hot tears.
One book is not finished.
Because I didn’t prepare the end, I left a blank space to continue, and I used everything I had prepared to finish writing the story.
If an unexpected accident doesn’t happen now, a story many times more beautiful than this will appear.
If nothing happens.
The regressor suddenly raised his head. Looking at the far-off darkness above the abyss, the regressor’s navy blue eyes flashed.
‘intruder?’
