An otherworldly labyrinth created by the Dungeon Maker.
I was walking in a dark hallway, unable to see a thing in it.
.
Hand in hand with Stardus.
What the hell is going on?
I thought to myself as we walked down the dark hallway, holding her hand.
Holding each others hands, feeling her body heat as we walked, it was a strange feeling.
Stardus hands were so soft.No, not this.
What the hell, I dont know what shes thinking.
I thought to myself as I walked along with Stardus holding my hand tightly.
Obviously, its dangerous, and we need to stay together, she said, because this is the only way to be sure.
You didnt co up with this plan just so you could grab like this, and then when we get out of here, you can snap my arm, knock out, and drag to jail?
I even thought about it. I have teleportation, so it doesnt matter, but I cant understand her behavior unless this is the case.
Anyway, whatever the reason, here I was, walking hand in hand with her down this dark hallway.
What the hell is going on around here, were walking through this dark space with nothing but loud noises echoing around us.
And, perhaps because of my limited vision, I couldnt really see what was in front of . Instead of vision, my other senses began to beco more vivid.
Like the warmth of Stardus hand, so close to mine that our flesh was touching, and the faint sensation of her pulse or the sound of her quiet exhalation, cut through the din.
Yes.
In short, right now, Im more concerned about Stardus holding my hand than I am about the danger ahead.
The fact that Ive been thinking about her ever since is proof of that. Da-in, get a grip, youre not a middle schooler in love for the first ti. Youre in trouble for holding hands.
.
Of course, walking down the street holding hands with Stardus was another story. I felt like a fan holding hands with an idol, which is a completely different story than holding hands with other girls.
As I walked along, thinking about it.
Hey, Egostic.
I heard that from Stardus, who was walking quietly with , hand in hand.
Yeah, whats wrong?
I had been thinking about Stardus, and I answered her like that out of sheer boredom.
She was silent for a mont, and then she spoke again.
Why do you keep helping ?
..?
And the mont I heard that I almost stopped dead in my tracks.
Haha, what do you an, what did I do to help you?
I replied, smiling as naturally as I could.
What the hell, why would you ask a villain such a weird thing? Did I get caught? That cant be right. Ive been doing a lot of weird things lately, but Ive always been loyal to terrorismCo to think of it, I havent lately.
When I was so quietly confused she opened her mouth to speak again, with a hesitant air.
Back at the Moonlight GateYou called all your friends to help , and when I was attacked by the cultists, you saved .
Hearing her say that I quickly racked my brain for a good excuse.
Thats because Im supposed to be doing terrorism in Korea, and its no fun for to see Korea get smashed at the hands of another bastard. Didnt I tell you that the other day?
Not that.
And just as I was about to reply, she cut off and opened her mouth again.
You saved my life, for so reason, and Im not just talking about this ti. Im talking about the ti you threw yourself out of the basent of the HanEun Group, and Im talking about now You call yourself a villain, so why do you do it?
It sounded as if she was going to reprimand but I could tell there was a sincere question in her voice, a doubt that she had all along, and a determination to clear it up this ti.
How to answer her?
Of course I cant say, I never intended to be a villain, but I beca one to save you, to save the world because thats just not . I had a hunch that the usual excuse, Youre my archnesis, wouldnt work.
Then there was only one solution: to answer ambiguously, mixing truth and lies.
With that thought, I turned to face her, still holding her hand, and said.
Thats because youre my arch nesis.
That explains it.
And.
Having said that, I smirked.
Its because youre important to .
Huh?
She responded to my words for a mont.
Okay, shes flustered. Now is my chance.
I seized the montum, still looking straight ahead and smiling, and said.
Without you, my arch nesis, what is the point of my terror? Even the most perfect show would an nothing if there were no actors and no audience.
Thats why youre so important to , Stardus, because, as Ive said before, you complete .
To , you an more than anything, which is why I dont want you to get hurt, Stardus.
I said, smirking.
Yeah. Thats the trick, just say it out loud and say I care about you. And she, the hero, is going to be like, What the fuck? or The villain values ? Thats disgusting.
The thought of her saying that to made feel sick to my stomach, but either reaction was fine, because it was important to clear up any doubts she might have had about .
And her reaction to my words.
Uh Ugh. I see.
She responded to my words in a small voice, and only moved her hand in mine for a mont.
What was this vague response?
I was expecting sothing more dramatic
.
.
We walked in silence after that.
I felt her face getting redder and redder. No, I cant have her reacting like that, it makes look like the crazy villain who confessed to the hero. Whats wrong with her?
I was more concerned about the hand that was touching hers.
It felt weird to be walking down the hall holding each others hands, feeling her warm body heat, her hand occasionally wiggling in mine.
Anyway, as we walked through the dark corridors, all sorts of monsters popped up, monsters that the Dungeon Maker had created with cognition to the best of her ability.
Obviously, she cant fight monsters while holding hands, so I was about to let go.
Huh.
-Kaaaaaahhhhhhh.
Every ti there was a ghostly monster or sothing, Stardus would take out all of them with a single punch from her right hand, so I couldnt let go and I ended up walking hand-in-hand with her the whole way.
How long had it been since we walked down a dark corridor, defeating all the monsters that appeared?
Ah, I can finally see the light.
Finally, at the end of the corridor, we could see an open door with a white light coming from the outside.
That ant it was the last room.
Shall we go in?
Yeah
And so, finally we entered a bright room with white light everywhere.
The first thing I noticed upon entering was Stardus face, right next to mine.
And her face, to , seed to be quite calm.
Am I the only one whos overreacting?
With that thought, I coughed and spoke to her.
Well, this place seems safe for now.
With that, I was finally able to let go of her hand.
For so reason, when I let go at the end, she didnt seem to want to let go of , but I guess thats just feeling bad.
What is this room for?
Anyway, thats what Stardus said, looking around.
-BANG.
The door we ca through was slamd shut by a white door that ca down from nowhere.
We were now trapped in a small room and at that mont, an electronic board started flashing on the wall in front of us.
I knew it from the original.
It was the final room Dungeon Maker prepared for two or more people that entered the labyrinth.
Its called the kill or be killed room.
The reason why her labyrinths seem strangely lackluster is because she poured all of her power into this final chamber.
Its a pretty nasty room that never opens unless one of the people inside the last room dies, and its her final weapon.
I waited for the words to appear and at that mont, the words popped up on the screen.
Naturally, I knew what it was going to say beforehand, so I watched without much suspense.
Huh?
The words on the screen suddenly dawned on .
I couldnt help but say those words out of embarrassnt.
*
[A room where you cant leave without kissing each other]
*
..?
Wait, whats that?
and Stardus were looking at the words in mutual bewildernt, and could only say, What?
I an, out of the blue?
It didnt matter what I was talking about.
?
I said in disbelief, looking at the broken Stardus beside .
Dungeon Maker. SheWhat the hell is she doing?
