56 – Great White Shark (3)

Miya and I were guided by other orcs and headed to Baek Sang-cheol’s residence.

As if he had been well healed by the healer, the Orc captain’s wounds had improved a lot before he knew it.

“Come in.”

“Mister, is it okay if I tell you?”

“Yes. I almost died because of you, but I’m alive like this.”

“Looking at it earlier, that healer seemed to have a high level of attributes.”

“It’s SS rank.”

“Even if that wasn’t enough, he must have been an A-class Awakener, right?”

“You’ve probably heard of it at least once. The nickname ‘Pohang’s Saint’.”

“Ah. Is that the woman?”

I’ve definitely heard of it.

The name of a woman who was called the Saint of Pohang because she saved countless lives when demons invaded Pohang in the past.

“It must be a saint.”

“Hmm? Why?”

“No, no.”

Did you have PTSD? Just hearing the word saint makes me feel strange.

I asked Miya, who was blushing and unable to say anything, to sit down next to him.

“So, since I won the fight, did you think of answering my questions?”

“Of course. It’s a promise between men, how can you keep your mouth shut just because you lost once?”

“It’s nice that it’s still hot.”

That man who used the word man as a habit, was actually a man himself.

That is why the awakened people in Korea respected and followed him.

“Okay, what are you curious about?”

“I have so many questions. I don’t know if I can answer them all.”

“We know a lot more than you expected. Even if you look like this, you’re quite a veteran among the Dimension Wanderers.”

“Dimensional wanderer. No way…”

“Yang Baek-ho, you should know. The end of the planet that couldn’t stop the monsters.”

every know

The world that can’t stop the monster will perish.

The god in charge of that world opens the outer dimension for the last survivors.

Survivors who have moved to that temporary world with minimal resources wander to try to contact another world somehow.

They are Dimension Wanderers.

“We are dimension wanderers.”

“What?”

“Yang Baek-ho. The earth you lived on is destroyed.”

… … What bullshit is this?

“Earth is destroyed?”

“okay.”

As he tilts his head at the incomprehensible sound, he recalls a memory he does not want to recall.

“There was nothing special right after the goddess sent you to the other world. I didn’t even know you went to the other world in the first place.”

“…”

“The only time we found out about your absence was after confirming that the god in charge had been replaced with another.”

“Well…….”

“I never expected that that crazy goddess would send you to the other world and that she would be blown away with that penalty.”

Even thinking about it again, the man with an expression of absurdity.

Somehow I sympathize.

“However, after a new god came down to Earth, a year later, a demon god appeared on Earth.”

“Drank?”

“He led the ten demon kings of 『Remegeton』 and turned the earth into a mess with their forces.”

that you drank

It’s a word I’ve seen in the world of the novel where I was reincarnated.

‘Obviously, it was in the description of the holy sword.’

A demon sealed by a hero. I don’t know if the demon of the earth and the demon of the world in the novel are the same.

One thing is for sure, that bastard named Demon God was strong enough to put an end to a world in one fell swoop.

“So? Are you all the humans that survived?”

“No. There were several temporary dimensions opened by the god in charge. All those who survived were scattered to the temporary dimensions.”

Did that happen?

In the village he looked at as he entered, there were less than 50,000 orcs living there.

Not all of them are Awakeners, so it can be said that they are all Koreans who survived.

“At first, we were also human. But as time passed, our shape changed and we hardened into the shape of an orc like this.”

“Is it the curse of the dimension?”

“That’s right. It means that we will not give peace without cost to the wanderers who have lost their original world.”

sad smile.

The man continued talking while doing some simple stretching, as if the pain hadn’t completely gone yet.

“Anyway, we wandered around the world in search of the goddess who ruined the earth.”

“Because the remaining food is starting to show the floor.”

“To live, I had no choice but to cling to another world.”

“I was wandering around like that, and that’s how you met me.”

“I think it’s luck. Yang Baek-ho, I never thought I’d run into you again.”

“I never thought I’d see you again.”

“Did you find the goddess?”

“no.”

I shook my head.

I can’t even imagine what kind of life it is.

Baek Sang-cheol then held out a piece of paper to me.

“This?”

“It was given to SS-class Awakeners around the world by a new god in charge just before the earth was destroyed.”

On the paper were the words ‘Rothenberg’ and ‘Beyond the Dragon Mountains’ in the Imperial language.

“Is this the language of our world?”

“Really?”

“Uh. It’s clear. This is the language of the Rothenburg Empire where I live.”

“That’s good.”

As if the man was genuinely relieved, he pointed at the paper with a sigh of relief.

“One is a hint about the world where the goddess is located, and one is a hint about the place where the goddess is located.”

You found our world with just a hint like this.

Looking at him with an expression of disbelief, the man smiles and continues his conversation.

“Your Dam said this was the only hint allowed to him.”

“You just found this?”

“I’ve been to more than a thousand worlds, but I think I’m very lucky. But I haven’t been to more than 10,000 or more than 100,000 planets.”

That’s not wrong.

How many worlds can there be in different dimensions in the vast universe?

If I had a thousand of them, I wouldn’t be wrong to say that I was very lucky.

“By the way, beyond the Dragon Mountains…”

The tip of this vast continent, including the Rothenburg Empire and several other countries.

The land of death where you cannot return alive if you set foot on it.

Is there a goddess beyond what is called the end of the world?

“I know for now. Roughly, I think I know where the goddess is.”

“Is it really?”

“Uh. They say it’s over the edge of the continent, but it’s a bit far.”

“It must be a remote area among remote areas. Hmm…”

The man groaned as he stroked his chin.

“Let’s think about that later. We have to go to bed now.”

“Are you busy?”

“No, there is nothing like that.”

No busy work, beating… … No, there are students who need training.

Because today was the first day of camp.

“I was going to have a drink to commemorate the meeting after a long time, do you have any thoughts?”

“alcohol?”

“okay.”

“……Do you have soju by any chance?”

When I asked him just in case, he nodded his head with an expression asking if he was saying something obvious.

“There’s no way.”

“…”

“When moving to the temporary dimension, it moved in truck units.”

The answer made my mouth water.

I’m not a drunkard, but if it’s soju, it’s different.

It’s a drink I used to drink when I was in Korea.

Of course, it wasn’t alcohol with taste, but I’d never tasted it since I came to this world, so sometimes I missed the taste of raw alcohol.

But just in time, I met Orcs from Korea who regard the soju as a soul drink.

“If it’s about one bottle…”

“Hehe. I thought well.”

*

Unlike the dark outside world,

It was as bright as daytime here.

Me, Miya, and the orc captain drank at the biggest tavern in the city.

“What do you think?”

“……Taste up.”

“I see.”

Even though she doesn’t like the taste, she just drinks soju.

His tongue was twisted as if he had already been drunk, but he resembled his father and did not collapse easily.

I turned my gaze away from the silently drinking woman and spoke to the man sitting to the right.

“By the way, didn’t you say you ran out of food earlier?”

“I should be able to hold out for the next six months or so.”

“Half a year.”

definitely less

I said as I drank little by little from the soju glass I hadn’t seen in a while.

“Do you have any plans?”

“No. First of all, go out to the outside world through the portal and find a place to live.”

“……The outside world is full of people who hate orcs, so it won’t be kind.”

“I can’t help it. This is the only way left to live.”

His eyes sunk deeply.

A city teeming with skilled swordsmen who have reached the top level of sword masters, and those who are at least knight level.

Unlike other orcs, they think like humans, act like humans, and talk like humans.

Although it would be difficult to accept them into the formal army,

It seemed like it would be okay to secretly live like a secret weapon.

“My family has a lot of land.”

“……Do you belong?”

“That’s it. The Roelheim family, a family that uses some strength in the Empire.”

“Since I’ve lived a long time, I can hear all the stars.”

“Anyway, if you don’t have a place to live, I can provide it. Private land that you can’t enter carelessly is made up of large forests.”

“Hmm…”

“There is a forest spreading around the Roelheim family. I will lend you a forest there.”

“What are the conditions?”

“To protect the family from foreign powers. And, not to touch other humans. You only need to protect these two things.”

“Don’t you have to pay taxes or something?”

Guess who isn’t Korean?

“There’s no such thing, so you just have to protect the family. The people in my hometown, I don’t want to be subject to many conditions when I’m having a hard time in a foreign country.”

Hearing that, the man stared at me, then turned his gaze to the glass on the table and murmured.

“……Thank you.”

“It will take about a week because we need to prepare the teleportation portal.”

“I’ll have to prepare in advance.”

Baek Sang-cheol smiled and raised a soju glass towards me.

I put my soju glass on his glass and made a toast.

“Leon…”

Miya’s voice came from beside me.

There were three empty soju bottles next to her table.

He drank non-stop by himself, and he had already drank three bottles.

“I think it’s your girlfriend, but the building right next door is an inn, so let’s sleep there.”

“It’s not like that yet, but that’s a bit…”

“Then are you going to go back the way you came?”

“…”

I take the bill he offers,

After entering the inn next door, he threw her onto the wide bed.

“Leo Ohon…”

A woman who stirs her body while calling my name, wondering what she is dreaming of.

Then it is.

It seemed like this for some reason.

If I take off my clothes, I’m sure they’ll say something later, so I decided to leave it like this.

It’s not like you’re going to die if you don’t wash for a day or so.

After taking a quick shower, I put the demon sword on the table in front of the bed.

When the lights are turned off, the entire room is plunged into darkness.

I followed the sleeping Miya and fell asleep as if passing out.
