The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 105
Episode 105
: This is another darkness.
Unless you pay close attention, a space that seems empty is filled with a little life.
Life created its own world.
I opened my eyes.
‘Who am I? ‘What happened?’
Everything seemed vividly real.
‘No, is it reality?’
I unconsciously touched my face and saw that big fangs had grown.
What kind of being is he?
He guessed that, judging by the presence of these fangs, he must have looked very scary.
‘Am I alone?’
That didn’t seem to be the case.
The noise coming from around me proved it.
Crunch… clunk.
…
chiah …
Those who eat something are the children who have grown up with such fangs.
Their eyes shine red.
‘Ugh…’
He somehow hated them.
I was afraid to get close to them.
Even so, he got closer to them and tried it.
Crash!
What they were eating like crazy was the flesh of another animal.
A human body that is intelligent and capable of speech.
I couldn’t tell if their flesh was originally red or if it was red because they were covered in blood.
‘Ugh…’
His eyes also started to turn red like theirs.
The wild cannot be tamed.
The blood boiling inside his body seemed to insist so.
‘I have to…accept it.’
Sigh.
He stretched out his hand without realizing it.
Maybe it’s a weak spirit that hates them but can’t resist their desires.
‘I’m hungry… I’m hungry… I’m starving.’
The hand approaches the blood-soaked corpse.
The moment I touched that thing, I felt that I would be subdued to barbarism forever. But I couldn’t refuse.
The corpse’s amputated arm was so heavy that the young body had to use both hands to support it. The feeling that came from the heavy feeling was not irritation or disgust, but happiness.
Whoops…
I opened my mouth wide with saliva.
‘what? If I do this… I shouldn’t do this…’
At that time, he felt eyes looking at him from somewhere.
As if I had committed a crime, I hurriedly turned back and checked his gaze.
It’s a man. A man is looking at him.
What is in those eyes?
‘That’s pity.’
Pity, sadness, regret.
Or disappointment.
It all swirled in his eyes.
Whoosh whoosh.
The man gently shook his head. And says:
“do not do that.”
‘Don’t eat it?’
He just looked.
I felt somehow embarrassed.
I didn’t want to disappoint those eyes that were expecting something.
Pop!
That’s probably why he snorted and slapped the corpse’s arm for no reason.
“I’m disgusted. I don’t eat things like this. “Hunger… I can endure it.”
As soon as he said those words, everyone else looked at him. As if he was saying all sorts of strange things.
But it seemed impossible to eat this as long as there was a man watching from afar. That face looked somehow familiar.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee…
The space becomes distorted.
Beep-
A ringing sound struck my ears.
“Jamade you are a troll.”
A face I had never expected appeared.
They were the ancestral shamans of a tribe of old trolls.
Four peers were sitting next to Jamad.
It looks very funny.
“What is a brother in the rock tusks, Jamad?”
“Forever comrade-in-arms and comrade. Or, someone who takes his pain and makes it mine and shares my glory.”
“You will be brothers starting today.”
“sibling? “These idiots are my brothers?”
“Yes. Together with them you will rule over the Rock Tooth.”
A question mark appeared.
‘Strange. Isn’t it natural that it’s strange that the people I meet for the first time are my brothers?’
refused.
“… no. I can’t admit it. “I decide who my brother will be.”
“There is no use in resisting. This is a matter that has already been decided by the tribe. From now on, you will share your brother’s curse.”
“no! “I don’t like it!”
who. Someone please help me.
‘No one… is there no one? ‘Look at this crazy thing!’
Jamard’s eyes looked at everyone, but everyone turned away from him.
But just one pair of eyes.
Golden eyes were looking at him.
“Help… speak for me!”
I hoped for it but didn’t expect it.
But the man with golden eyes spoke for him.
“They are not your real brothers.”
Pot!
Pababat!
All the other trolls glared at the man who had said those words. It was a scary sight, but the man did not flinch.
Rather, he lifted his chin more confidently.
Weeeeeeee-
the space became distorted again.
I thought it was fortunate that the man was safe.
‘uh? This place is…’
Also called the altar or the original shrine.
Many trolls were sobbing with their heads down.
A place where sulfur flows, lightning strikes, and gusts of wind that tear clothes to pieces.
Genshin was looking down at those foolish trolls with their heads down. All I felt from Wonshin was contempt and arrogance.
“Don’t do that, don’t do that!”
Don’t serve them.
They’re just using you.
Sacrifices were offered on the altar of the original gods.
A fleshy orc with fairy-colored skin. The corpses of small humans and other races. And the troll’s corpse was also placed on the altar.
It’s a corpse that feels somehow nostalgic.
He knew who that woman was.
“Huh, mother?”
That’s his mother.
I don’t know how she knows that, but now her face is blurry.
At that moment, an enormous amount of pressure was placed on my shoulders.
“Keueuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu her she her she she her she her she her she her she she she she she her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her her not her her no her her no her not not her no her not not She She her her her she her she her she her her son no hiss no hiss no no no no no no
no
Purga spoke, breathing sulfur fire.
“Submit, you barbarian. “Your strength comes from us, so bow your heads to our trembling strength.”
I couldn’t say anything.
Just as my knees are slowly starting to tilt.
The fragrant scent of flowers came from somewhere. When I inhaled the smell through my nose, miraculously, the power of the original spirit suppressing me disappeared.
I slowly straightened my tilted knees and looked at the place where the scent had come from.
‘who? no way?’
It’s the guy from earlier.
The man was standing with his back turned.
Now I understand why it smells like flowers.
A flower field embroidered with colorful flowers. A man was building something while standing on a windy hill.
It was a wreath made of woven flowers.
The man casually placed the wreath somewhere.
I walked towards him, slowly passing the flowers.
The thing on which he wore a wreath was a tombstone.
‘… It’s my mother.’
The owner of the tombstone was clearly Jamard’s mother. Otherwise, there would be no way the tears would suddenly flow like this.
‘Why?’
Why does this man keep helping himself?
Now I was not only curious about the man’s identity, but even antagonized him.
“Who are you?”
The man didn’t answer but just clapped his hands.
The hand movements seemed to indicate a certain action.
“Bow? Why… Ugh!”
That moment.
Huuuuuung-!
Huuuuung-!
I felt the flapping of wings so magnificent that it felt like a storm. It felt like my young body would be blown away by the wind.
“Tsk….”
Twaaaaaaa!
The wind was so strong that the flowers on the hill could not hold their heads.
Jamard knew who was causing the wind now.
Tancrid, Mother Earth.
Her sturdy body and unbelievable nobility. A dragon born with stars.
A being that resembles overwhelming violence. My entire spirit was defeated by that great creature.
“Damn it… Damn it!”
I thought that no matter what means and methods I used, I would not be able to reach her.
I was frustrated and frustrated as I watched Tancrid’s back flying towards the sunset.
Huuuuuung-!
“I… can’t fly.”
Since it has no wings, it cannot fly like Tancrid.
I couldn’t control the sky like she did.
It was then.
The man appeared again.
He was always like this.
“Let’s go Jamard.”
Pot.
Tadat…
The man who put the wreath on the tombstone grabbed Jamard’s wrist and led him.
After passing the flowers and crossing a slightly narrow path, the place the man took me was at the end of the hill. The man stood there without saying a word, and he also stood there.
And then I realized.
Hehehe.
The vast land and river visible at the bottom of the hill and countless lives. A greater emotion than the inferiority complex he felt while watching Tancrid swept over him.
Tancred is great.
But even she only had the sky, not the world.
The world was that wide.
It showed off its freshness without being taken away by anyone. The barley ripened yellow, the animals gained weight, and the rivers flowed.
That’s how the world existed.
The earth was never smaller than the sky.
“Yeah… that’s right.”
Sentences began to form in his mind.
I am a troll.
I am a rock molar.
“… I am Jamad. “Now I know who I am.”
His small body slowly grew.
The muscles on his body became more defined, and his canine teeth became even larger.
It continued to grow.
Continue until it regains its original appearance.
And finally, I had the world in my eyes.
“I see, it was you. Hahahaha!”
The man who helped Jamard and led him here has suddenly disappeared.
He awakened the wandering young troll. He watched over the child until he grew up and became an adult.
Until you finally realize your true self.
“I am the one who will gain the mystery of creation and the truth of the stars… but Snowman is so worthless. “I can get up on my own.”
This place is a dream.
A very dirty dream.
– If you carelessly interfere with the other person’s memories by offering help, not only the other person but yourself can be eaten. Then everyone dies.
Jamard looked at the earth.
The red glow of his eyes even looked beautiful now.
“I am Jamad. “I am the one who will one day become the king of this land.”
* * *
Boom!
[You are in trouble. What do you want to do?]
“4… 4 times.”
As with all things, life did not always go smoothly.
His choice now was wrong.
“no!”
“That…”
Those wearing masks covered their mouths and suppressed laughter. Kang Seol bit her lip so hard that it bled. I felt their ridicule.
“Snowman… Your wrong choice made the prosecutor one-armed.”
At that moment the horse screamed.
“Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
A momentary mistake left a permanent scar on the horse.
thud!
“I’m sorry.”
The horse on the game board turned to Kang Seol. Bloody tears formed in his eyes, embodying his hatred.
“you… “You made me like this.”
“But…”
“You should have made the right choice. “You shouldn’t have made me like this!”
Kang Seol was so scared of those words that she lowered her head.
But the terrible situation did not end there.
[Disappearance is occurring. All emotions disappear. What would you do?]
…
“Number 2!”
Squeak.
“Huh… Huh….”
The woman wearing a brilliant mask expressed her fangs in sorrow. But I could feel that she was also holding back laughter.
thud-!
“Well, this time your wizard lost one eye? “And we couldn’t stop it from disappearing.”
“Oh no. “It’s not my fault!”
“Are you making excuses? “Even though you were the one who made the choice?”
The wizard with a bandage over one eye looked at the snowfall.
“It was all your fault. When you look down at me from up there, are you possessed by a similar sense of superiority? Do you think you control me? Answer me!”
Snowfall couldn’t say anything.
I just closed my mouth, lowered my head, and suffered like a criminal.
thud-!
The gods rolling dice together and the words on the game board.
Even your own shadow.
It felt like the whole world was his enemy.
It feels like a sharp blade will penetrate the flesh if there is a gap.
thud-!
Snowfall’s eyes gradually became cloudy.
This was a nightmare created by piecing together only his weakest parts.
Snowfall pretended to be normal, but in reality, it wasn’t normal.
I’ve had strange dreams since I was young, and they continued until I became an adult.
Surprisingly, his secret was still kept. He didn’t tell anyone.
This was something out of the ordinary.
thud-!
How can this be?
But the reason was surprisingly simple.
Snowfall’s insides were distorted.
He preferred the dream world of smiling and rolling dice to the reality of loneliness and the harshness of the world. He may say this is all a pipe dream, but to others it may be a fantasy.
In this way, the proportions between reality and the dream world are reversed.
He was so immersed in the world of eternity that he hated waking up.
‘I don’t need all of it. ‘All I need is this with my friends.’
A game board that feels like reality with friends wearing masks.
Snowfall was increasingly swayed by them.
No, Kang Seol actually didn’t know if they were actually friends.
“Oh my!”
“Ha ha ha ha ha! “Snowman, what should I do with this?”
It was natural for him to feel guilty about the horse. Since the horse was injured due to his own mistake, he feels that it is his responsibility.
“This… I think your horse is in a bad situation again?”
Mistake again.
This time, Kang Seol checked which horse was in danger again.
There was a snowfall in the shape of a snowman.
‘what? ‘That’s me?’
The gods laughed evilly.
thud-!
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Snowman Snowfall is in danger. “What do you plan to do?”
“If I fail, will I die? Make a decision quickly!”
“There is not much time left. If I fail again this time, it’s the end!”
“Choose…”
The gods revealed their true colors and urged the snowfall.
“Choose.”
Red-toothed snake tongues protruded from their mouths.
“Choose!”
Kang Seol hated being forced to make a choice at this moment. To the point where I want to give up the choice altogether. His psychological pressure seemed real.
[ ?]
1.
2.
3.
4.
…
Life is different from a game.
Life was not so simple that one could immediately choose the path one should take.
thud-!
thud-!
“Uuuuuuu! thud! Please stop banging! “You were so noisy from earlier!”
Kang Seol was cornered and screamed.
This space was really noisy.
“What are you talking about?”
“I can not hear you? “A thumping sound?”
“thud?”
thud-!
thud-!
Kang Seol stood up as if possessed.
“Where are you going?”
“Obviously… the sound came from here…”
Boom!
Like a doctor putting a stethoscope to a painful area, Kang Seol put his ear to an empty space.
Kuuuuung-!
“Ugh….”
There was someone.
Someone besides those who are enjoying the game here.
thud-!
Tsk…
I felt a tiny bit of incontinence in the dark space. I could see someone’s eyes through the gap.
The beast’s eyes are dyed red.
Kang Seol had seen that snow before.
It felt like a very old memory.
I once saved a kid with eyes like that.
The little boy had suddenly become an adult and was breaking down the wall that contained Snow Seol.
A sound came from beyond the wall.
“Now you see me.”
Jamard said.
“I was beaten for a long time.”
