53 – Inner World (2)

The world made up of my emotions, mind, and psychology.

The inner world.

It was an empty, white space.

If it was really a world made up of my heart and emotions, it shouldn’t have been like this.

There had to be something.

However, no matter how much I looked around, I could see nothing but white everywhere.

I looked at the culprit who made my inner world like this.

She had long enough hair that was trailing on her floor.

And in her hair was a flower attached like a hairpin.

A crazy b*tch with flowers in her hair.

That was my impression.

I told her that.

“So you are the reason why my inner world has become like this?”

“Yes.”

“What the hell did you do?”

At my words, she said with an expression of regret.

“I didn’t do anything.”

I said dumbfounded.

“Is it because of you?”

She was crying as if she was really unfair, and she said with her head slightly lowered.

“It’s true that it was because of me, but I really didn’t do anything.”

It is because of him that my inner world has become like this, but he said he did not do anything.

I didn’t understand.

I needed an explanation.

“After…… If you feel so unfair, explain it so I can understand.”

“That… ….”

That’s how her long explanation began.

First of all, she said that the inner world where she and I are now is mine, but it is not mine.

I wanted to say what nonsense I was talking about, but I couldn’t help but understand her continued explanation.

I fell into a coma due to the Eight Evil Dragons’ attack.

My consciousness in a coma naturally flowed into the inner world.

In the process, it is said that Aether came to enter my inner world, regardless of her will.

That’s where the problem started.

As Aether’s consciousness entered my inner world, her inner world was unfolding in my inner world.

In other words, in my inner world right now, I and Aether’s inner world coexisted.

The problem was the size of Aether’s inner world.

The inner world created by the image of God was bigger than my inner world as a human being.

It was ridiculously big.

As an analogy, it could be said to be the difference between a puddle in the sink and the sea.

There was such a difference.

The sink was filled with the sea.

There was no way the sink could stand it.

In the end, I drove out my inner world and Aether’s inner world took over my world.

“What if my inner world disappears forever like this?”

“If that happens, the apostle will never wake up.”

I don’t even have the strength to get angry anymore.

Still, if you see him openly bringing out these words in front of me, there must be a solution.

“Then how can I get my inner world back? You’re not saying there’s no way, are you?”

If you really said no, I might kill God today.

Fortunately, the damn goddess was able to save her life.

“Everything, of course there is a way!”

“Yes, what is it?”

“It’s about repainting your inner world.”

“Painting?”

“Literally, this pure white world with nothing is repainted with Sado-nim’s feelings, mind, and memories.”

“Is that possible?”

“Of course. That goddess Aether.”

The way she speaks while beating her chest.

For some reason, I couldn’t trust her, but she had no place to lean on.

“After…… So what is the method?”

“Can you come this way?”

I approached her without a word.

“It can be a bit dizzy. And have a good trip.”

“I had a good trip, so what… ….”

I couldn’t speak.

Aether hit her chest with the palm of my hand and pushed it away.

I didn’t hit hard, but it felt like I was flying far away.

No, it was actually flying far away.

My consciousness gradually faded and my eyes closed.

●●●

Dark night.

Owl- Owl-

The sound of an owl’s cry echoed through the forest.

The forest where night came was so dark that it was difficult to see straight ahead unless the moonlight was shining.

There was a boy running through such a dark forest.

He was a boy who never stopped running forward, constantly looking back as if being chased by something.

“Oops! Omg! Omg!”

From noble mtl dot com

The limit of physical strength was gradually approaching.

I wanted to stop running and catch my breath.

But the boy couldn’t stop running.

Keruk-Keruk-

It was because of the monsters that were closely following the boy.

There weren’t many of them, but they weren’t monsters that a boy could face alone.

If not just for that reason, the boy ran away.

However, the boy’s escape did not last long.

“Huh? Oh, no!”

It was a boy who tried to run away, but it was not easy to run in the forest where he could not see an inch ahead.

The boy got his foot caught on a protruding rock and fell down as he rolled on the ground.

“Do, you have to run away! What the hell are these guys up to? Why am I suddenly in a place like this?”

The panicked boy hurriedly got up from his seat, talking gibberish to himself.

I tried to run away again, but I couldn’t.

It was because the monsters chasing him surrounded the boy the moment he fell.

Only then did the clouds lift and the moonlight began to shine.

The boy had dark hair and black eyes.

The monster blocking the front and back of the boy was short, with green skin and a long nose.

It was a goblin.

Two goblins blocked the boy in front and behind.

Keruk-Keruk-

“Monster, monster! Please save me! Anybody here? Help me! Please!”

The boy shouted as if his throat would burst, but no one came to hear it in the dark night forest.

Kerrureuk- Kerrureuk-

The goblins just watched as the boy shouted at what was so fun.

Then, as if she got tired of it, she grabbed the rusty dagger and started moving closer to the boy.

When the boy saw the goblin approaching him with a dagger, he was overcome with fear and collapsed on the spot.

“Oh, don’t come! Don’t come!”

Tears flowed from the boy’s eyes.

The terrified boy’s cry only made the goblins more happy.

At some point, the goblin came right in front of the boy who had collapsed.

Keruk-Keruk-

The goblin let out an incomprehensible cry and swung the dagger.

The boy’s arm was cut in the first attack.

“aaagh!”

The boy screamed at the first taste of pain.

Kerureuk- Keruk-

instant noodle scks tho

As if enjoying the boy’s scream, the goblin swung his dagger again.

This time I cut the boy’s other arm and passed by.

The goblin didn’t kill the boy right away.

I was playing with it.

‘I don’t want to die.’

The boy did not want to die.

Now he admits that no matter how much he cried and begged, no one came to help.

The only thing that can get out of this crisis is the boy himself.

Ignoring the wound on his arm, the boy looked around him for something that could be used as a weapon.

However, it was not easy to find something that could be used as a weapon in the forest.

Still, the boy did not despair.

The boy grabbed a handful of dirt on the floor and scattered it at the goblin in front of him.

Keruk-Keruk-

Not expecting the boy to fight back, the goblin was blinded by the sudden scattering of dirt.

The boy did not miss the opportunity. He picked up a stone that was rolling on the floor and swung it at the goblin’s head.

Puck-

The goblin’s head shattered with a dull sound.

It was an instant death.

All that happened in a single moment.

The one remaining goblin, who had been watching all of this from behind the boy, screamed and charged at the boy.

Keruk- Kerruk-

The goblin’s dagger was lodged in the boy’s shoulder blade.

“Quaaagh!”

Extreme pain.

But the boy did not lose his mind.

If you lose your mind right now, you will die.

With that thought alone, the boy burrowed into the goblins.

Fortunately, the shoulder with the dagger was not the one holding the stone.

The boy swung the stone and smashed the head of the remaining goblin.

“I won.”

After saying that word, the boy passed out on the spot, holding onto the stone stained with blood.

“Heeuk, heeuk!”

I took a deep breath and looked around him.

It was the inner world before losing consciousness.

Aither approached me as I was resting while recalling the vivid situation I had just had.

“You are back. How was it?”

“What have you done?”

The boy I saw in my distant consciousness was me when I was young.

“I showed you the past. To draw the apostle’s past into the inner world. Look. The new inner world of the apostle.”

She turned her gaze to the direction she was pointing.

As Aether said, there was a picture in the empty space.

A boy crying under the dark night sky surrounded by two goblins.

A boy passed out holding a bloodstained stone.

My past was painted there.

“You mean this is the method?”

“Yes.”

“Disgusting.”

I was forced to experience memories I didn’t want to recall.

I didn’t feel well.

“There is no other way.”

Still, I had to do it if I wanted to live.

I walked in front of Aether and violently grabbed her hand and placed it on my chest.

“Then start quickly.”
