I wrote Desired End to kill my loneliness...
But now, this story was killing me.
Desired End took my friend from me so I would stop trying to change this unchangeable dream...
This dream is unchangeable—undefeatable monsters, immortal gods, demons... It has everything.
And the one who added these things... is me, Kang Hong, the author of this endless dream. The one who never gave up on his story, no matter what happened.
I'll change this endless dream... I'll kill those monsters, demons, and even gods just to rewrite this nightmare.
I don't care what stands in my way. I'll destroy heaven, hell... everything, just to change this fucking dream.
Tch.
I need to change what I wrote. Which means I need to think what I can't. Do what I can't.
I need to change my whole perspective on this dream.
Han Seeyoung was approaching me.
I need to use this dream against itself. I need to change its trajectory.
I'll use my knowledge.
"Seems like you're spacing out. Then I'll give you a peaceful end, just like I gave your friend. Don't resist, old geezer."
Fwoosh!
Flames gathered in Han Seeyoung's hands.
I forced myself to stand up.
"Seems like I need to do something now."
"Hm? What're you saying??"
Futaba's sacrifice won't go to waste.
I glanced at my screen.
[ TOTAL ACCOUNT BALANCE: 800C ]
This much will do.
[ TIME REMAINING: 01:34 ]
[ 5 PEOPLE REMAIN ]
Lee Seonyeon and the father who murdered his son were fighting in the distance... Far enough that Han Seeyoung could hear me clearly.
I took a deep breath.
"Han Seeyoung. Fourteen years old. Hangang Middle School. How's school going?"
Han Seeyoung froze.
Fwoosh!
The flames in his hands flickered and vanished.
"H-How...?? How do you know my name? Just how?!"
Sorry, God. I'm going to play dirty now.
I have to use my knowledge to kill this beast.
"I know you very well, Han Seeyoung. Better than anyone."
He took a step back.
"I know that you wanted to become an artist but were forced by your parents to abandon your dream."
I took another step forward.
"Why do you still want to avenge your mom, though?"
His breathing grew unsteady.
"She was the one who destroyed your life, wasn't she? Han Seeyoung."
I quickly navigated my screen.
Buy Broken Dagger, fire resistant cloak.. white one please.. The cheapest one... Please
[ BROKEN DAGGER - 500C ]
[ FIRE-RESISTANT CLOAK (WHITE) - 300C ]
[ PURCHASE SUCCESSFUL ]
Han Seeyoung's face twisted in confusion and pain as old memories resurfaced.
He's lost in thoughts. That's right. Drown in it.
Han Seeyoung thought..Why am I fighting? My mom destroyed my dream… She deserved that… Then why? Why do I want to avenge her?...Chaeyoung… she was crying… That's right…
His eyes widened as realization hit.
"Ah, I wanted to avenge her because of my sister… She was crying… and I wan—"
I didn't give him time to finish.
"I see"
I whispered.
"Then... would you like to die?"
"Eh?"
Han Seeyoung snapped back to reality. But
It was already too late.
He was in my attack range.
I aimed for his heart... Han Seeyoung, out of panic, stepped back to save himself.
"Tsk."
I was wearing a fire-resistant cloak.
His flames wouldn't touch me.
I stretched my left arm
SHING!
The broken dagger appeared in my hands, and
I stabbed him.
SLASH!
I stabbed him in the ribcage. The dagger got stuck between his heart and ribcage, but it was enough.
Wait... I just stabbed a boy... No, there's no time for regret.
"ARGHHHHHHHH!!! FUCK!! FUCK YOU, BITCH!! FUCK!! FUCK!! DIE!! DIE!! SON OF A BITCH!! IT HURTS!! IT FUCKING HURTS!! IT FUCKING HURTS!! ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Han Seeyoung collapsed onto his knees.
Tears streamed down his face.
"FORGIVE ME!! FORGIVE ME!! I WON'T DO IT AGAIN!!! I WON'T FIGHT!!!! LEAVE ME!!! PLEASE LEAVE ME!! I AM STILL A KID!! YOU STABBED A KID!! HAVE MERCY!!"
I stared down at him. Cold. Unwavering.
I started speaking as I pulled the dagger out of his body.
"I already told you, Han Seeyoung."
CRACK!
CRUNCH!
The dagger scraped against his bones as I yanked it out, breaking others in the process.
"ARGHHHHH!!! FUCK!!! IT HURTS!!! NOOO!!! STOPP IT!! PLEAASEE!! HAVE MERCY!!! I BEG YOU! I BEG YOU!! ARGHHHH!!"
Enough to make him cry in even more pain.
He looked up at me, trembling.
"You won't survive this dream."
[ TIME REMAINING: 00:59 ]
[ 4 PEOPLE REMAIN ]
"Hoh… Seems like you survived too."
I turned my head.
"Lee Seonyeon."
Now he should appear.
[ HAN SEEYOUNG HAS RECEIVED FIRE ELEMENT LVL.6 FROM DEMON KING ]
[ DEMON KING HAS PROVIDED HAN SEEYOUNG ULTIMATE REGENERATION LVL.1 ]
[ HAN SEEYOUNG WILL CONSTANTLY REGENERATE FOR THE NEXT 40 SECONDS ]
Ofcourse, Demon King won't let him die.. after all he has taken an interest in a person after a long time.
I need to use Lee Seonyeon to eliminate this new Han Seeyoung and.
[ DEMON KING HAS SENT YOU A MESSAGE ]
Hm?
[ YOU LOOK INTERESTING ]
Huh?
〆I'm done playing fair. If this dream wants to kill me..then I'll kill it first."
