The World-Class Extra’s Walkthrough - Chapter 145

Episode 145:

Speed up.

What the ghosts of Gerard and I are seeing now is the scene of history itself from 50 years ago.

‘…A remnant of the past provided by a transcendent artifact called the Destiny Codex.’

Therefore, there was no room for doubt and it was a record without any fabrication or lies.

But…

‘Is this the truth?’

The content of the video was quite different from what I knew.

As far as I know, the warrior from the Eastern Continent named ‘Tae Geon-chang’ was recorded as male.

He was known as a sturdy man who fought head-on with the legendary swordmaster Gerard.

But now in the video.

-Ah, now it’s time to go….

Black-haired woman.

She was covered in blood and dying with a helpless smile.

This woman was Tae Geon-chang, the martial god of the Eastern Continent.

‘Then what did I know? In the original version of < Shin.Beose >, Tae Geon-chang was clearly a man, right?’

…First of all, I wonder if ‘Tae Geon-chang’ itself is a man’s name.

At that time I was confused.

-It took too long. Now I can finally follow in his footsteps.

She looked at the imperial wizards surrounding her with a bloodless face and smiled.

-And today is the last time I get to be your toy.

Then the wizards poured all kinds of magic and healing potions on Tae Geon-chang, trying to restore her.

-No way. Who said they would wait and see?

Tsutsutsutsu!

Dark blue light began pouring out of Tae Geon-chang’s entire body.

She radiated her own magic power like a shield, rejecting all of the wizards’ recovery measures.

-Shit! Is your bitch really trying to kill herself?

-Of course. Are you idiots?

The brilliant light emitted by the giggly Taegeonchang.

“That…”

Actually, it was something I was quite familiar with.

It was the blue magical light that can be seen when the sword spirit is extracted using the Manatee Sword Technique.

But it was shining with a purity that was incomparable to mine.

It was amazing.

‘I can’t believe he can use his magical power to that extent even though he is already seriously injured.’

Tae Geon-chang’s condition now was truly serious.

Severed wrists and ankles.

A deeply torn chest.

Even one eyeball was cut out without mercy.

‘Were you trying to dissect and observe the path through which magical power flows and its source?’

If this was an experiment, it was truly a cruel experiment.

It was such a terrible thing that I wondered if this could be done to a human being.

But still…

-Get out! Do not disturb my rest! You scum of the empire!

The Sword Master of the East Continent was burning blue, proving that he was alive.

Rather, she was trying to end her life in a hurry, as if her vitality was cursed.

Eventually, the wizards gave up on restoring her and retreated.

-Ha ha ha ha.

Tae Geon-chang closed his eyes and slowly took a deep breath, preparing for the last time.

The miserable end of a great warrior whom no one pays attention to.

-…Jer.

‘Jer’?

-Now I’ll go to where you are. see you again.

At the last moment, Tae Geon-chang closed his eyes while giving his greetings to the person named ‘Jer’.

Could it be a nickname for ‘Gérard’?

However, the ghost of Gerard looking at that figure…

《…》

surprisingly had no expression.

Without showing any anger or joy, he just remained calm and watched the video.

Soon, Tae Geon-chang’s breathing completely stopped.

Sigh.

The video recording of the Destiny Codex also ended.

[Replayed records are permanently recorded in the codex.]

[You can re-view them at any time.]

‘Will I ever read these terrible records again?’

Anyway, I showed Gerard what he wanted.

By consuming one of the A-class fate cards he gave me, I showed the end of the old ‘Taegeunchang’.

To see this terrible record with no special information other than that Tae Geon-chang was a woman…

‘A whopping A-level sheet was lost.’

It was amazing and surprising in that it was able to reproduce a scene from the past that had disappeared into history, but honestly, the cost-effectiveness was extremely poor.

The artifact called ‘Destiny Codex’ was no different from a card-eating monster.

And the result….

‘…what the hell happened? ‘I’m so curious?’

Gerard’s ghost didn’t react much, but my curiosity was only aroused.

I saw a situation that was completely different from what I knew through the original work.

As a proud gamer, I felt that I needed to know how this happened.

It was right then.

《Co-worker, you probably have a lot of questions, right? Follow me. I don’t know if it will suit your taste, but I will at least offer you a cup of tea. And let’s talk slowly.》

Gérard smiled faintly.

‘fellow trader.’

I felt like my mind was refreshed by those words.

‘…Yes, it’s Tae Geon-chang and Gerard.’

These two people were the first to start playing this game among the five players.

So, of course, she knows more than Eve and even me.

‘At least you know more about why we became players in this world than I do.’

At the same time, a thought suddenly occurred to me.

‘What I know is that the two people who were known as Marshal Cheolcheon in the original work had a completely different relationship.’

This may also have something to do with the existence of us, the players.

Even at first glance, there was bound to be a huge difference between the relationships between those who were just NPCs and those who were active as players.

‘I might be able to find out more than I thought.’

I started walking slowly, following Gerard who was walking ahead of me.

* * *

The largest room in the mansion.

Gérard, who was sitting across from me, held out a teacup without saying a word.

“Uh…”

As I was looking at the dark brown tea flowing in the beautiful teacup, a strange thought suddenly occurred to me.

“Hey, if I drink this, I’m not going to get caught or anything, right?”

Suddenly, the story of ‘Persephone’ from Greek and Roman mythology came to mind.

It was a story about a woman who was kidnapped by Hades and ended up having to spend half of the year in the underworld as a result of eating a little food from the underworld.

Gerard’s ghost sighed at my question.

《You’re quite perceptive…》

…Huh?

“Really?”

For a moment, the ghost burst into laughter at me, who was startled.

“I’m kidding! joke! I swear by raising a red flag. This is a very ordinary black tea and I have no intention of keeping you here. Honestly, you’re not my type?》

“…Surprise. “I’m bored.”

For a moment, a shiver ran down my spine.

Still, I couldn’t bring myself to drink that tea.

“Are you scared? That doesn’t happen because it’s not your ‘taste’. So you’re saying that if I had been your type, you would have caught me?”

Then Gerard’s ghost laughed.

《Well, it might have been like that. As you may know, I am quite persistent. Both when I was alive and now. But I assure you, you can rest assured. Because I’ve never been interested in anyone other than one person.》

“Really?”

I mustered up the courage to raise the teacup to my mouth and lost in thought.

…Gérard Gunther’s ‘One Man’.

‘Could it be that that is Taegunchang? It’s crazy, it’s crazy.’

As far as I know, Gérard did not marry until his death.

He said the reason was to focus on swordsmanship training.

But here the truth was revealed.

“…Okay Gerard.”

I opened my mouth, slurping some black tea as a sign of trust.

“Well, do you mind if I don’t have to explain who I am? “Do you know everything?”

Then the ghost nodded.

“Know. You are a person who does the same things as me in the past. Aren’t you a ‘traveler’? We are beings who have no choice but to recognize each other.》

It’s true that we recognize each other…

‘Travellers?’

Something new has come out again.

“What is that again? “We call ourselves ‘players’?”

Here, ‘we’ naturally meant me and Eve.

Even though Eve and I played different games, we were both people who understood this world through games.

But ‘traveler’…?

“Is it something different? According to this Destiny codex, you are also called ‘players’?”

Then Gerard responded to my question with a faint smile.

“not different. It’s the same thing. ‘Player’? That’s not a bad name in its own way. It’s very important for us to define our identity. That’s why ‘Gun’ and I called ourselves ‘travelers’.》

…travelers who have to wander around this world restlessly.

They also said that if they organize their identity in this way, the Destiny Codex will adjust the interface to fit that concept.

It’s as if information is given in the style of a system message to Eve and I who are familiar with the game.

The story was that information was given to Gerard and Tae Geon-chang in a slightly different way.

They knew little about game systems and such.

“…what?”

I was dumbfounded.

“What are you talking about?”

Until now, I believed that this world was based on a game called < The World God Abandoned > or < The World God Abandoned >.

But what Gerard said now was something that completely shook my faith.

“Then how did you become travelers instead of players? If not games, what else did you use to get there?”

But Gérard spoke leisurely.

“Don’t believe what you believe. Because that doesn’t help us at all.”

I frowned.

“Mister, please don’t just blurt out quotes and explain. “I think I’ll just make it into a black and white photo.”

Then Gerard’s ghost laughed.

《Okay, the story will be quite long, but that’s okay, right?》

…A story about this world I fell into and the 5 players.

It was a rather strange story that ended briefly.

“Tell me everything you know. “I will listen to you as much as you want.”

I spoke while pouring myself some black tea, and Gérard quietly crossed his arms and spoke.

“Okay, first of all, we should start by talking about me and Taegunchang.”

He pulled out two swords from somewhere and laid them down quietly in front of me.

And he slowly started talking, reminiscing about 50 years ago.

“I was definitely killed by Tae Geon-chang with this sword. Before we go against the timeline. And that too to Tae Geon-chang, the ‘man’ you know.》

“…!”

I was given so much intense information from the beginning that I felt a tingle in the back of my head.

‘Gérard went against the timeline?’

Then Eve had a past life.

‘I was possessed.’

Did Gerard regress?

‘…No, what kind of mass store comprehensive gift set is this?’

The ghost continued to push information into me as I was confused.

《But when I went back to the past, I saw that Tae Geon-chang had become a very beautiful girl. It was truly absurd. “I was going to find that young guy and cut him off in the bud and take revenge, but I was so exhausted.”

“…Now wait a minute!”

It feels like my mind is spinning with so much information and thoughts tangled together.

“Let’s think about it for a moment!”

But Gerard grinned at me.

“And the most interesting thing here is that she also came back in time. And that was because he was killed by me, a ‘woman’. Isn’t this really funny?》

I was speechless again, and Gérard quietly closed his eyes.

“So I had no choice but to think like this. ‘Someone is playing with us’. With such bad taste that it is beyond words.》

“….”

I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.

There was a chat that passed through my mind at that moment.

[All][Goddog]: Looking for someone to help with the second round of life.
