Time-space socialization: Ceremony Enter the social space space-time.
───────
If I were an ordinary class.
To the point where I complained about what kind of skill effect it was.
Not only was it unkind, but it was an esoteric effect.
‘It’s a social venue in space and time.’
But what about my class?
Demon Hunter, the king of unkindness.
In addition, there was prior knowledge acquired through experience.
Being trained, I could guess to some extent.
‘If it’s a ritual, it must be similar to an exorcism ritual.’
consciousness
Recalling the exorcism ceremony, there was nothing particularly difficult.
In exorcism, even the flow of time flows separately.
‘If exorcism is a ceremony that only demon hunters and demons can enter… then the social space of time and space is a ceremony that only transcendents can enter.’
Thinking that way puts a strain on my shoulders.
Do you feel like you’ve become a VIP?
Even so, I couldn’t help but be startled.
‘Anyway, the words I spit come true no matter what.’
I told Harkon full of bravado.
that you would believe me
As I said, there was no way to solve it.
However, now that I have mastered the [Science of Time and Space].
I had found the only option that could make that statement come true.
The social space of space and time.
There, like me, the Transcendental Swordsman.
It was something that might lead me to meet Shagwin.
[Quest: Futile]
Shagwin considered hunting demons futile.
Talk to Shagwin and
determine the truth of the action.
—Encounter with Shagwin. (In progress)
Of course, the quest left by the Kürnberg Machine Tower.
—Capture Antonium. (In progress)
Maybe the main quest goal will be successful.
But there was too little information.
Above all, I knew that there would be rules, so I couldn’t move too hastily.
‘Like the exorcism ritual, there must be rules.’
The rules of exorcism are simple.
A superior mental power dominates everything in consciousness.
However, it is a consciousness that only transcendentalists can enter.
The rules won’t be that simple.
I wanted to search the internet, but…
I wonder if there is any related information.
“There is no social more important than work.”
How are you?
The only one who submitted a leave of absence was the Magic Tower.
Grandfel said that the documents on the desk in the Yusra Kingdom office were different.
I was shocked while looking at the documents.
‘Is it data sent from AAU…’
Because there was a word that caught my eye in particular.
[Dead person community].
I was able to figure it out only after reading the contents carefully.
…Isn’t this what you mean by “social venue in space and time”?!
I found out thanks to that.
The social space of space and time.
rules of ceremonies.
I had no hesitation.
evening when the sun goes down.
I stood in front of the mirror
Equip [Duke Swalin’s cherished item].
I straightened my clothes and arranged my brooches. Are you trying to be fancy by entering a social gathering? If someone asked, I was able to answer emphatically.
“Not very pleasant.”
…A strange setting that comes to mind after a while.
“Heir to a great family. In the social world of the past, the existence of Grandfel was like an oasis or a mirage in the desert. I didn’t enjoy social occasions, so I didn’t show up often. On the day he appeared out of nowhere, he drew everyone’s attention…]
Seriously.
I want to cut off my hands and feet because they can’t shrivel…!
I can’t understand even if I try to understand generously.
It’s just that it’s popular.
Could it have been simpler?
What is so specific and full of detail!
‘He is not even aware of the fact that he is receiving attention, but in reality he is admired by a large number of different followers…’ The
period of stormy anger.
It can’t be a setting full of blatant desire.
I’m so ashamed that I can’t even look in the mirror.
of course.
Because Granfell was brazen as always.
Soon I was talking nonchalantly.
“But if you can’t avoid it, you have to enjoy it.”
Please.
Then I prayed fervently.
Please do not repeat my dark history.

Ttogak─
The sound of ringing the hall.
Everyone’s eyes were focused.
Everyone had an idea of who the unfamiliar person was.
Sword Saint Shagwin’s eyebrows twitched.
‘The one who dropped the high-ranking demon king into hell.’
top lord.
even yourself.
No, even the transcendentalists gathered here are outside the standard who dare not stand against them. It was. The owner of this gicheok was the one who dropped such a high-ranking demon to hell alone.
‘I couldn’t believe it even after seeing it.’
It was the existing Transcendents who gathered here to evaluate the qualifications of the new Transcendentalist.
Because of this, transcendentalists were astonished when they confirmed their achievements after a long absence in the social space of time and space.
and voted yes.
An unprecedented unanimous vote.
‘I thought someone with such ability would remain on the continent.’
Is it really the vast Arcana Continent?
Shagwin was shocked even more than the news that the elves had appeared.
Just the birth of such a transcendent was a surprise.
It was also unexpected that he came to the social club right away.
Someone opened up about it.
“It took years for someone to break in.”
The social space of space and time.
This place did not actually exist.
It is a space dominated by consciousness, so you have to realize for yourself whether you are aware of its existence or approaching it.
Besides, even if you notice that fact.
‘I can’t dare to enter easily.’
level similar to yours.
Or it would not be easy to set foot in a space where there are more transcendents.
Of course, mutual hostilities in the social arena are prohibited.
‘Actually, apart from the rules.’
As you can see, they were transcendentalists who did not speak to each other except in special cases.
Because we could guess each other’s personalities and abilities to some extent.
Everyone knows that there is no good in arguing.
‘However, I can’t know that fact without experiencing it.’
It was through experience that Shagwin himself knew the rules about it. The experience of being kicked out of consciousness after getting into a fight and pulling out a sword at a social gathering.
“You are a newcomer with great confidence.”
Yes.
An entry so fast that it feels rushed is probably an expression of confidence.
Above all, I could tell by the sound of confident footsteps gradually approaching.
Again—
in everyone’s interest.
A new transcendent has appeared in the social arena.
A chandelier on the ceiling glows brightly.
Far from losing its presence beneath it.
Silver hair shining softly.
Indeed, the silver-haired man did not show any signs of shrinking.
‘It’s quick to grasp the situation. Was that achievement really true?’
‘I didn’t even wear the equipment.’
‘…Rather than that, which region’s costume is that?’
It was an outfit I had never seen on the continent.
Still, it didn’t feel odd.
The appropriately fitting top and bottom suits the man just like his skin.
Even accessories that exude a sense of presence that are not overdone. The man’s appearance alone was enough to draw everyone’s attention.
Didn’t he even have an overwhelming achievement among the transcendentalists of defeating the top demon lord? Perhaps because of that, I even had the illusion that a halo was shining from behind the man.
But most surprising of all.
“…!”
The man’s behavior was natural.
No matter how conscious it was, what was seen and felt was no different from reality.
There was a chance that his eyes would be sold on a luxurious and grand social gathering place that could not be seen on the Arcana continent…
but again—
the man did not even pay attention to all of them properly.
As if you’re used to it no more.
I started walking across the social hall.
The sound of heads rolling could be heard everywhere.
‘If you feel familiar with a place like this, you must be a noble or royalty. There’s no way I wouldn’t recognize someone like that…?’
‘You’re a curious being. How transcendental was it that he was able to defeat the high-ranking demon king alone?’
‘No, that’s beyond what I’m used to…’
…Isn’t it unstoppable?
A small murmur.
Gradually, it had to turn into curiosity.
It must have been the first visit to the social space of time and space.
As if it penetrates everything.
It seems to have a purpose.
Because the man didn’t hesitate.
The spinning heads stopped.
‘I want to avoid it as much as possible.’
What if the company’s purpose is related to you?
I never wanted to get involved.
I wouldn’t know if this was the Arcana continent.
‘Because I would have been able to measure the gap.’
However, the rules of the social grounds cannot be violated.
All hostile acts between each other are prohibited.
Because of that, it was impossible to guess the power or strength of the other party here.
It would be correct to say that the concept does not even exist, so you cannot even feel it.
‘Even if you can’t feel it, there are achievements.’
‘A feat that no one has ever achieved.’
‘First unanimous pass.’
Again—
in the man’s actions.
In addition to interest, concerns began to emerge.
Then the man sat down.
So, for what reason did you find a place to socialize in space and time?
in tension.
All eyes waited for the man’s lips to fall…
.
.
.
Damn it.
Dark History never forsook me.
Grandfel-sama, who says she has no interest in the self-proclaimed socialite, doesn’t care.
I could feel the pouring gaze.
‘…I really can’t live. It’s the me of the past.’
What a socialite oasis and mirage?!
I’m getting so much interest.
Does it make sense that he doesn’t know that?!
Again –
I’m sure.
To me, this social venue is more burdensome than any crack.
Of course, the dark history that touches the body as much as ever.
I could tell that the people in this room weren’t normal people just by pretending.
‘Everyone is shouting that the equipment is a dead person.’
[Dead person community].
The information delivered by AAU stated so. It was only an idea, so it was a temporary name, but I was able to recognize it at a glance just by looking at the concept.
[Dead community: including NPCs. A special place for super high level players with specific qualifications. The rules are as follows….]
If only ‘transcendentalist’ is inserted into a specific qualification?
It was nothing different from the ‘social venue of time and space’.
Indeed AAU.
As Grandfell said, even if you want to think that they are not the ones who seek the Creator’s side for no reason…
‘…why is it a social hall?’
On the one hand, a feeling of resentment welled up.
In any case, let’s not stop walking if we can.
And let’s not wander around.
‘It’s helpful at times like this.’
Upright posture everywhere.
Thanks to that, I took a seat in a luxurious chair, not paying attention to the pouring stares.
Then, I looked at the message that came to my mind naturally.
According to the
[Currently Available Menu] rules.
All facilities in the social space of space and time were free of charge. If Arcana was just a game, I would have thought it was a service for the deceased and skipped it.
But as far as I know, I see it.
I guess now I know why.
‘Because there is no substance.’
Consciousness.
After all, everything that exists is not real.
So you’re giving it away for free.
Can a cat pass by a fish shop and a sparrow pass by a mill? I looked at the message from Granfell. Saying that free things do not conflict with integrity and innocence.
by the way.
“Mmm.”
Don’t be blatantly sullen, Grandfell.
Green tea in this space.
Can there be tea bag green tea?
[You have canceled the order.]
…Yes, and what kind of car is it in this situation.
I have a clear purpose for finding a social club.
I didn’t hold back any longer.
A wide social space.
dark blue hair.
blue eyes.
I looked at the Sword Saint Shagwin.
And he opened his mouth.
“Shagwin.”
Besiege Antonium.
Destroy the Kürnberg Mechanical Tower.
It’s an act that can’t be found even to the point of pride.
Of course, kind words couldn’t come out of my mouth.
“I will ask you.”
“…?”
“Are you aware of your sins?”
“…!”
…No matter how hard it is, suddenly throwing a stone fastball.
There’s no green tea on the menu, so it’s clear that you’ve become sensitive, Grandfel.
But I couldn’t take back what I said.
“From now on, think wisely and answer.”
I spoke in a colder voice than ever before.
“According to your answer, I will decide your disposition.”
“!!!”
