The 31st Piece Turns the Tables - Chapter 17
Episode 17:
Tradition.
It has various meanings, but in the eternal world, it refers to the process of inheriting abilities or belongings.
The transmission process that Kang Seol faced now was similar to that, but there were also some different parts.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
…
Bill came over and supported Snowfall.
Only the whites of Kang Seol’s eyes were visible, and a lot of tendons sprouted from his neck.
You can tell just by looking at him how much he is suffering.
Snowfall was currently checking the memories of Snowman, his first character in life.
Huh-
huh-
Amazingly realistic memories.
Rather than a panorama, memories flew by that were more like the view outside the window while riding a high-speed train.
‘My brain… feels like it’s going to burn!’
However, in all these memories, he was reminded of things he had forgotten.
A photo of Bill’s granddaughter from 20 years ago, from childhood to adult life.
The memories of his first words were completely engraved in my mind.
‘That’s what it was.’
The reason why memories formed partial gaps as if they were cut off.
As Kang Seol took note of the fate of the first horse, he guessed the reason.
‘It’s what’s left of the horse.’
Some of Kang Seol’s memories were split into 30 words that were not in his head.
Various knowledge mixed together in his head.
Like a tangled skein of thread, some memories remained clearly, but other memories felt like they would become clear only after I accurately separated them.
It was extremely painful to accept all the experiences of the horses I had handled. The discomfort of peeking into someone else’s memories.
‘Do I go through this process every time I encounter pieces of mine that I gave up on in the game?’
What was interesting was that, unlike the memories of his other horses, the memories of his first horse, Snowman, were now engraved as if they were his own memories.
‘…The recovered memories become mine.’
For now, I had no choice but to think that way.
“Huh… Huh….”
“Are you okay? Have you calmed down a little?”
“It’s okay.”
I felt as if I had been on a short trip through time.
[Fate: Things that need to be recovered An adventure is planned.]
[Inherited the legacy of the ‘Snowman.’]
[Inherited the abilities of the deceased.]
[Constitution: Inherited a lump of greed.]
[Abilities It is not suitable for this body.]
[‘Jammard of the Mountain’ inherits Constitution: Greedy Lump.]
[Jammard now gains 10% more experience and has a 15% chance to unlock abilities.]
[ Destiny: The contents of the things that must be recovered are changed.]
Destiny. ‘Things that must be recovered’
You have had a mysterious experience whose meaning is unknown. I learned everything about him through a relationship with a stranger I had never met.
His memories, his thoughts, his regrets, and even his abilities.
Maybe there are more mysterious relationships like this in this world.
Every time you face fate, you will gain new things and recall old memories.
Goal: Face all fates
Currently, there is no time left. ‘
…Even abilities? And it was handed down to Jamard and not me?’
Not only memory, but also ability.
Kang Seol gasped in bewilderment.
‘And fate? What the hell is this…’
– Merging? What’s going on?
– Is this what happened?
– If you find someone with the same name as you, you will pass it on.
– Oh, I see. What is the source?
– This is my brain official. It was plausible, right?
Bill looked at the snowfall and took a deep breath.
“You really thought you had to dig up another tombstone.”
“…Thank you for your concern.”
“What are you worried about… Anyway, I plan to settle down in Kongori again, so if you have any trouble, come visit me anytime. “It won’t be of much help, but I can at least make you a watch.”
[Bill’s affinity for you increases.]
“Please take a look.”
“Okay, thank you.”
After Bill left, Snowfall, who was left behind, summarized the situation that had just happened.
‘Traces of my 30 horses were scattered throughout Pandea.’
This is undoubtedly true.
The horses’ achievements have already been recorded in books, so there is no way that no trace would have been left behind.
‘And when I encounter those traces, I pass on some of the horse’s abilities and memories from my lifetime.’
I wasn’t sure if this could be generalized, but I thought I could find out by looking for traces of the following words.
‘Finally, their abilities and memories are essential for ascension. No, more precisely, my lost memories.’
He fills in the hole in his memory and, based on it, becomes much stronger than before and ascends to heaven.
He found a clue to ascension through this transmission process.
‘By the way… you’re a bunch of greed…’
His first words didn’t last long before he died.
It was obvious that I hadn’t realized some of my abilities, but there was no way I could have used them.
‘Um no.’
It certainly seems like he had some useful abilities.
That is the greedy constitution passed down to Jamaard.
He remembered the first time he formed words.
A golden light rose from the back of the horse, and all the gods were amazed.
– Nonsense! Why am I so lucky from the beginning?
– So what is it? Is it something you are born with?
– A bunch of greed? under! This is amazing.
Since Kang Seol knew nothing at the time, he asked this question.
– Is it good?
– If you try it, you’ll understand. If trained properly, it will probably become an enormous monster.
– I wish… I wonder when something like that will come out too.
Kang Seol’s first horse was a horse that lost its life in an early fumble, not a monster, but its potential was great.
Kang Seol, who inherited his strength and memories, bowed his head towards the tombstone.
“thank you.”
A broken pocket watch remains on the tombstone where Snow Seol left, observing the direction in which he left.
* * *
A month passed quickly.
Those who have transferred have long ago realized that there is no way out of this dangerous game of survival.
“Now… isn’t there such a thing as a government or a country?”
“Stop being so lucky! If we hold on, they will come to save us! “They’re monsters so they don’t get hit by bullets?”
“yes? “You will come to save us, right?”
That can’t be possible.
This is a fact that everyone already knows.
However, I try to say positive things out of my mouth.
Both worlds were caught up in the world merger, but the people who came over from Earth called themselves transferors.
The transitioners went through a lot of changes in a short period of time, such as a month.
The most noticeable change is that they are adapting to this world.
“But this adventure… have you decided?”
“I decided, but I need to know something to feel safe or not.”
“In the guild? “What do you say?”
“First, we decided to get together with guild members who knew each other and start it, but I didn’t really believe it.”
“I know what it is. so do i. “We set the right number of people, but they only gathered one kid and a bunch of old, pot-bellied people.”
“Should I just hire someone as a soloist? There are quite a few people like that.”
Men who appeared to be in their mid to late 30s were whispering and audibly telling me all sorts of facts that I wasn’t even curious about.
“Didn’t you hear something dangerous? The transferees are even killing people to steal equipment…”
“Oh, I heard that too. Aren’t those complete bastards? “In a situation like this, is it a good thing for me to ignore others so that I can live alone?”
“That’s why we can’t trust each other with peace of mind. So, it might be better to stop talking about being full and move with the guild…” “
The young guys were excited to be in the game, but ugh… guts are guts.”
“Leave it alone. Those guys can’t tell the difference between heaven and earth and will be the first to die. Let us live long and thin.”
“Yes, thin and long.”
The guild’s influence grew day by day.
The country disappeared and the city did not protect the transferees, so the guild was what they chose as a self-rescue measure.
It didn’t look very good to Kang Seol, but anyway, most of the transferees belonged to guilds and moved around.
Of course, there were people who moved solo because they were uncomfortable with such things or because they were confident in their abilities.
Because Kang Seol-do fell under both the former and the latter reasons, he pursued a solo career.
From the third adventure onwards, you could choose your own, except for special cases such as unexpected adventures and emergency adventures.
Sigh.
At a place called the Adventurer’s Association.
When Snowfall opened the door, many of the people there turned to look at him. But they quickly lost interest and continued what they were doing.
He headed to the bulletin board first.
The surprising thing about Pandea is that, contrary to its seemingly underdeveloped appearance, it is surprisingly in harmony with machine civilization.
Beep.
When Kang Seol took his ID card, a bulletin board came up.
First of all, I checked all the posts that had been posted the day before, so I checked to see if there were any other important details and checked the posts on the announcement page.
Perhaps because it was the last day, recruitment of party members was active.
(New)[‘Baron is not allowed”s post]
[Posting date: just now]
[Title: Looking for a private member.]
ㄹㅇ Our party members are the best. We are inviting private members who were ranked 1st and 3rd in the rankings as party members. If I don’t hear from you by the last day, I’ll find someone else.
– It’s like Jammin’s party.
– I feel like I will take care of my nephew when I go. ㅅㄱ
(New)[‘Yattad Deer’s post]
[Posting date: Just now]
[Title: Inviting private rankers.]
We are the ones who are not afraid of this world.
Rather, isn’t this the moment I’ve always been waiting for?
Probably the #1 ranked undisclosed Are you just like us? Try waiting until the last day, and if it doesn’t work, hire someone else.
– Excuse me, but can you please just read this article?
– I don’t know why it’s a fight?
– Special here) If you cannot name at least 3 of your favorite anime, you will be kicked out.
Usually, parties that hire people until the last day often have problems, no matter how big or small.
Either the expectations are too high or the desired conditions are rare.
– These guys are really fun lol
– There are a lot of crazy people
– But why are they looking for private information?
– It’s perfect if you just look at them. I just want to take the bus.
– Bus driver, I think you are planning to drive that big bus alone.
– mister! Please open the door!
Since there were no adventures that Kangseol was particularly interested in, he closed the job search window.
‘These are all adventures that don’t interest me. Then I’ll have to go with something certain.’
In fact, Snowfall already had an adventure in mind.
Before that, I paused in case there was a memory he had forgotten, but I couldn’t feel anything in particular.
It’s an adventure that most people know, and the rewards are mediocre.
He turned his gaze and looked around.
As each person focused on their own interests, I felt two sets of eyes on me.
As Snow’s level increased, her body’s abilities increased, and her senses became sensitive enough to feel gaze.
‘One is the person I’m looking for and the other is… a wanderer?’
Or maybe he attracted attention because of the equipment he was wearing. Because it was a very flashy and eye-catching piece of equipment.
‘What happened? Because business comes first.’
Instead of heading to the window where the receptionist was, Kang Seol approached the man who was sitting in a corner of the association and watching him.
The man had a geometric pattern tattooed on his face.
“…what?”
As the man opened his mouth, a choice came to mind.
[This is a man who looks somewhat suspicious. What would you like to say?]
1. What are you looking at? Are you starting a fight?
2. Need help?
3. Because I think you are interested in me.
4. [Required: Seeing through] You don’t seem to be an ordinary person…
…
Seeing through has come into play.
Even if you didn’t necessarily see through it, you could naturally choose the right option by opening up a conversation, but to save time, I chose option 4.
“You don’t seem like an ordinary person… What are you doing here?”
“what? Hahaha! “That’s fun.”
The man stroked his chin and motioned for Kang Seol to sit across from him.
chin.
When Kang Seol sat across from him, he leaned forward and started talking.
Hoping that his story would be drowned out by the surrounding noise.
“Actually… I have a big deal and I need to transport the goods to Novira. “So we need someone to escort the wagon group.”
[Detection is activated.]
[The man is lying.]
Kang Seol responded calmly without changing his expression.
“…So?”
“I want to entrust the work to a trustworthy friend… but he will pay me a reasonable compensation. “Okay, what do you think?”
“Am I a trustworthy friend?”
“Now that we’ve mixed things up, you can say that, right? “Unless I like it, I’m not that free either.”
[A man asked me to escort Nobira transport. How would you answer?]
1. I understand.
2. Let’s get to know other people.
3. Exactly how much are you paid?
4. [Required: See through] Is this the carriage going to Nobira? I don’t think so?
He nodded and accepted the offer.
“All right. Let’s do it together. Is there anyone else besides me?”
“Haha! Good idea. I guess I’ll have to look for more friends from now on. My name is Aden. “Please take care of me.”
“This is Snowman.”
[The Novid Transport Escort adventure is scheduled.]
[This adventure is a linked adventure, so you cannot select the next adventure.]
After talking a few more words, Snow Seol left, saying that she would see him tomorrow.
‘Up to this point, it’s just as I remember.’
Snow Seol inherited the memories of the first character through lore.
His first character, Snowman, had overcome this adventure before going through the adventure of the five friendly brothers.
Therefore, the hidden secret of this adventure was also passed down to him. There was no reason to refuse.
And another reason why Snowfall chose this adventure.
‘The second character did not pass this adventure.’
Some characters passed this adventure and some did not. Only snowfall knows the reason.
‘It won’t be easy, but we have to go.’
Because his second character might be there.
