I resolved to obtain the power of the boundary. I tried to get it right away, but unfortunately, I couldn’t go imdiately.
“How about it? Do you think I could beco a perfect wife now?”
“Yeah, it seems like it.”
Ershil caught . Despite being the one who struggled the most and pushed my body to the limit, she blocked , threatening to call a doctor when I tried to move.
“I think you need to rest, Mr. Seo-ha. You just took down that mountain beast in the Lion King rescue mission, and then you went straight into another fight without resting.”
“…You noticed?”
“Wasn’t it obvious to anyone who looked? Even if I wasn’t sure, I saw the golden lightning right in front of .”
Ershil was smiling brightly while cutting an apple. She wasn’t using a regular knife but her magic, which she often used. The apple’s peel ca off in a pretty shape.
“But why do you have three identities? During the day, you act as Veritas or Lee Seo-ha, and at night, as the Masked Man. You’re like a Korean Dark Knight.”
“Well, I had no choice. When my power was lacking, I had to create multiple identities to ensure I had an escape route.”
“I see. But who knows about this?”
“Hmm…”
I pondered for a mont. Only one person knew all my identities. The Electronic Witch, who helped unleash my true potential.
“Just one? As far as I know, only one person knew before this incident.”
“Is it a woman?”
“…Yes, a woman.”
Her body didn’t exist in the real world; she only operated in the virtual world. But she was still a woman. I crafted a body for her through alchemy and lent it to her as needed.
‘Co to think of it, she did say she wanted to customize it again.’
It’s about ti I returned to the identity of Veritas.
“Hmmm…”
“Kim Seo-hyun and Seo Ga-yeon probably know now because of this.”
“The student council president might know too.”
“…Right.”
I quickly responded to avoid showing that I had montarily forgotten, and Ershil gave a peculiar smile.
“Here, Mr. Seo-ha, open wide~.”
“Ah.”
Following Ershil’s instruction, I opened my mouth, and she placed a piece of apple in it. My lips curled up, which ant I was smirking.
“Oh, right. What are you going to do with Daji’s byproduct?”
“…I forgot about that.”
“We’re currently storing it in our family’s vault. A dragon appeared at the end and said it belonged to you, Mr. Seo-ha.”
“…”
It felt a bit overwhelming. I wasn’t the one who did it all.
“It’s best to deal with this quickly. Even storing it is quite burdenso for our family.”
There were many forces that would covet sothing like Daji’s byproduct. Heroes would salivate over it, villains would eye it, and the Great Evil would be no exception. If soone obtained Daji’s entire corpse, they could create an undead close to the highest rank, though not as powerful as Daji.
‘I’ve got a mountain of tasks.’
Even after defeating Daji, there were still so many things left to resolve. I had to level up, take care of my guild mbers, deal with Daji’s byproduct, and distribute rewards based on contribution.
‘…Should I just stay in the hospital quietly?’
I was briefly tempted by a strong urge, but I knew it was sothing I had to handle eventually. I owed a lot to the Electronic Witch, so it was also my responsibility.
“Well, I’ll be going now. I’ve delivered what I needed to, and I’ve recharged enough.”
“Recharge?”
“It’s just sothing like that. Anyway, goodbye.”
With slightly flushed cheeks, Ershil waved at . I waved back.
-…It’s unbecoming for soone who calls themselves a Transcendent to be so frivolous.
‘Why?’
-Never mind. I just overheard sothing that her master once said.
I made a strange expression. Others might sense lanie, but almost no Transcendent could sense Black Heaven.
Black Heaven was created based on the Energy of Defying Heaven, which allowed her to evade the detection of other Transcendents. However, with the Absolute Stat now obtained, things looked a bit different.
“Oh, right.”
As I was pondering about Black Heaven, Ershil approached with quick steps.
“I’ll take this as my reward for working hard during this subjugation.”
“What…”
Before I could say anything, Ershil’s tongue opened my lips and touched my tongue.
Chuup.
A thin thread ford, connecting our tongues for a mont before breaking.
I stared blankly at Ershil. Her cheeks were flushed red, and she gave a playful wink.
“I-I’m really going now!”
Ershil left.
Rewinding ti a little.
The Absolute Stat Energy of Defying Heaven.
This was originally the power I was supposed to obtain.
However, I couldn’t acquire it.
Right after I attempted to activate the Absolute Stat of Defying Heaven, sothing happened.
[■■■■■■■ is watching you.]
[The will of the world panics and blocks its gaze for you.]
[The will of the world panics and blocks its fra for you.]
Even so,
I could feel that a colossal gaze was observing .
‘What… the…’
It was enormous.
So enormous that, despite having crafted many narratives and created a fra, just feeling that gaze made tremble.
Right after falling into this world, many things happened. But that mont was when I felt the greatest fear I had ever experienced.
For the first ti, I encountered an existence that seed impervious to narratives or fras.
For the first ti, I was overwheld by the feeling that there was nothing I could do, no matter how much I struggled.
-Wait! Why is that being here!?
Black Heaven reverted to her true form in shock. She stood beside and enveloped with the Energy of Defying Heaven.
-Master! What have you done!?
-What… what’s happening? What on earth is going on right now?
[■■■■■■■ is watching you. ■■■■■■■ confirms the presence of their powers within you.]
[■■■■■■■ grants you power.]
Imdiately afterward, the gaze withdrew.
I sat there, dazed for a long ti, until the sun set and rose again.
[The rules are changing. The power of Defying Heaven is assimilating with the Black Fla.]
[You have acquired the Absolute Stat Black (黑). The Conceptual Stat Energy of Defying Heaven has been transford into the Absolute Stat Black (黑): 1.]
-Master, are you okay?
“…Yeah, I think I’m okay.”
[The will of the world looks at you with relief.]
“But just now…”
-I don’t know. All I know is that an existence so distant, so unimaginably far away, was watching us…
[The will of the world informs you that the highest being in the laws of the universe was watching you.]
‘The highest being among the laws…?’
There was an existence that wielded the power of Defying Heaven and Starlight.
…It was the Creator God.
Thus, my power changed.
‘It’s not a bad thing.’
Black (黑) also encompassed the power of Defying Heaven. Its versatility greatly expanded, and the power itself increased imnsely.
Just by evolving the Absolute Stat, two more Black Fla Stars erged within my body.
‘Now there are nine.’
As the number of Black Fla Stars increased to nine, the burden on my body beca more severe. In this state, it would be logical to seek out external techniques. However, I made a different decision. I began preparations to acquire the boundary.
‘Normally, creating an external technique would be the right choice.’
That instinct ca to . The opportunity to add the boundary to the Black Fla Stars was only available now. Therefore, I planned to carefully prepare before heading to the North.
“I heard about the reward Ershil received.”
Seo Ga-yeon, who appeared out of nowhere, spoke to .
“…Ga-yeon?”
“Kiss too!”
“Ga-yeon? What are you suddenly saying? A kiss with the elder…?”
Seo Ga-yeon and Seolhwa Ryeon suddenly barged in.
“What are you talking about? Seo-ha, let’s go train.”
“That’s not the point right now. Ershil stole Seo-ha’s first kiss.”
“…Hiccup.”
“Ara?”
For so reason, Kim Ara and Kim Seo-hyun from the Changcheon Guild were there. Well, Kim Seo-hyun belongs to the Changcheon Guild, so that’s understandable, but…
Kim Ara stood next to . Due to her height, there wasn’t much difference between us.
“Sorry, I didn’t want to reveal this, but actually, I took Seo-ha’s first experience (not the first ti).”
“No, that was a forced kiss…”
“You took Seo-ha’s first experience…?”
Kim Seo-hyun looked at as if hearing sothing unbelievable. Seo Ga-yeon shed tears.
“I’ve lost my purpose in life. Don’t look for .”
“Ga-yeon?”
…And now, I was in the process of comforting Seo Ga-yeon.
“Ga-yeon, I couldn’t react when Ara kissed suddenly.”
“How could you…”
Seo Ga-yeon was deeply hurt.
“I’m still inexperienced… but Seo-ha wasn’t…”
I had nothing to say to that. It seems she read my thoughts and realized I wasn’t inexperienced.
“What’s going on? Why is it so noisy?”
Click, click.
A confident voice rang out as red hair was swept back. It was Hong Yu-hwa.
“…Why is Seo Ga-yeon crying?”
“Well…”
“Have we been found out already?”
Hong Yu-hwa approached and kissed deeply.
“What trashy thing did our little rabbit do to make Ga-yeon cry?”
“Hey, rabbit! I won that ti!”
“So you’ve lasted more than 3 minutes? You said you liked it and then imdiately… inside …”
Hong Yu-hwa blushed as she spoke.
“…Were you two in that kind of relationship?”
“Well, sorry. I wasn’t trying to hide it.”
“…”
Seo Ga-yeon stared blankly, as if she had just heard the world was ending tomorrow.
“What? Was that the problem?”
Hong Yu-hwa said casually, ignoring Seo Ga-yeon’s reaction.
“What’s the problem?”
“…?”
“Did you really think I’d monopolize you when I’ve been looking at you that way?”
“…Huh?”
Hong Yu-hwa sighed and spread her hands.
“Seven people. Excluding , seven others. No more than that.”
“Really?”
“…Isn’t there only one bed in the Guild Master’s room?”
“Ga-yeon?”
“Shut up.”
“…Okay.”
I had nothing more to say.
