The Main Characters That Only I Know Chapter 221:

Chapter 221

The collectors had a strange dream, but if they were asked if it led to a dramatic change that would transform the world, they would all express their skepticism.

Rather, the change they had hoped for was too weak, and the people who had longed for change could not hide their disappointnt.

Nothing had changed after they had the dream.

Hmm. Everyone seems to be talking a lot about it.

Seo Sumin, who arrived at the academy early in the morning, overheard the students in her class chatting among themselves.

She couldnt help but hear them, thanks to her excellent senses.

Most of the conversations were about the dreams they had last night.

Wow. Ive never had such a realistic dream before.

Really? Why didnt I have a dream?

I heard that not everyone had one. Whats the difference?

But when I woke up, my body felt strangely light. I felt stronger than usual.

Hey, you dont get stronger just by sleeping. What are you talking about?

Is that so?

Two male students giggled.

Seo Sumin leaned her cheek on her arm and looked out the window, but her keen hearing did not miss their conversation.

It seems that I wasnt the only one who had a dream last night.

She also had a dream.

A dream of when she was the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

It was not a pleasant dream for Seo Sumin.

The days when she was revered by everyone as the Heavenly Horse were nothing but bitter mories for her.

But if she was asked if it was painful or hard to rember it as before, that was not the case either.

It was all in the past now. She had decided to shake off all her sorrows and live a new life.

It was all thanks to Kang Yu-hyuns help.

She still rembered vividly.

The way he grabbed her chin and pulled her close, his intense gaze.

His voice that gripped her heart and bound her soul.

How about his hand that was hotter than the heat of the battlefield?

As her thoughts went that far, Seo Sumins face turned red.

Her white hair and skin contrasted with her flushed cheeks.

Her hair shone faintly in the sunlight.

The mysterious white-haired girl who looked out the window indifferently was a picture in itself.

The male students who had arrived earlier and sat down all looked at her.

Gulp.

Soone swallowed loudly enough to be heard in the quiet classroom.

If they were normal collectors, they would have been overflowing with confidence.

Even people who were timid usually changed their personalities when they entered the academy.

Anyone would have tried to talk to soone of the opposite sex at least once, but no one approached Seo Sumin.

It was natural, since she was the first-ranked student in admission, and a powerful person who defeated even other A-ranked students overwhelmingly.

The atmosphere in the classroom sank awkwardly, and then soone appeared who broke it by opening the back door.

Sumin! Hi!

Oh, Yura. Hi.

Kang Yura, who ca from the dormitory, sat next to Seo Sumin and greeted her.

It was a great fortune for both of them to be in the sa class without knowing anyone at the academy.

Kang Yura and Seo Sumin always hung out together at the academy, and as a result, they naturally attracted attention.

The overwhelming first place Seo Sumin and Kang Yura who did not fall behind in the upper ranks.

They were just two people who got together, but they beca an exceptional case with a power comparable to other factions, because they were outstanding in both appearance and ability.

As soon as Yura sat down, she started to chatter about what she had experienced.

Sumin, do you know what happened to ?

What?

I had a weird dream today.

A dream?

Yeah, a dream.

At the word dream, Seo Sumin recalled the conversation she had overheard from a fellow student earlier.

She didnt even need to go that far.

She had also dread of the past.

Everyone knew that this was a new change that had been delivered to the collectors recently.

But she was curious anyway, so Seo Sumin asked out of courtesy.

What kind of dream was it?

Well, it was a bit strange. The world was totally ssed up, you know?

Huh?

Seo Sumin felt sothing odd in Yuras words.

She had arrived early at school and listened to various conversations of the students.

Most of the stories had one thing in common: they were all related to the past.

So said they were soldiers on a ship, so said they were people in a deep mountain, or so said they were in a war.

There were such stories, but no one had anything like Yuras about a ruined world.

Not even anything similar to that.

It was hard to dismiss it as a simple story of a destroyed empire in history.

There were too many things that bothered her.

Can I hear more about that story? What exactly was your dream?

Um, honestly, I thought it was a nightmare. I thought the world we lived in had suddenly gone to hell.

The world went to hell?

Yeah. It looked like Seoul, I think. It wasnt a mistake. The city was barely recognizable, the sky was blood-red, and black storms raged everywhere.

She added with a shiver that it felt like her sanity was being drained just by looking at it.

Seo Sumin asked.

What about you? What were you like in that dream?

I was one of the survivors. I dont rember the na, but there were five of us, including . Oh, right. I wondered where I had seen him before, but it was him.

Who?

He was with . You know, the girl you fought with during the test. The one who used the red soldiers.

Gu Seoyun?

Yeah, thats her. She looked much more mature than now, but I guess she would look like that after 10 years or so.

Seo Sumin listened carefully to Yuras words.

And she ca to one conclusion.

In her opinion, the dream that happened this ti was not just an illusion, but based on sothing that actually happened.

The dream was about the future, not the past.

Teller Kang Yu-hyun told . The collectors traits are the power of stories that existed in the past. The people who dread saw those stories of their traits, but then what about Yuras dream of the future? Is that even possible?

Normally, in this case, one could dismiss Yura as having a unique dream by chance, but Seo Sumin did not take Yuras words lightly.

Rather, because it was Yuras words, she listened more seriously.

Her sharp senses as a transcender told her.

Everything Yura said was true.

As Seo Sumins thoughts and worries deepened, Yura looked around and whispered quietly.

But Sumin, there was one more thing that was strange.

What was it?

Well

Kang Yura hesitated, wondering if she should tell her or not.

Then she whispered quietly in Seo Sumins ear.

I was a man in that dream.

What?

Seo Sumin had no choice but to ask that, as it was such an absurd thing to say.

***

When everyone else had a dream, Yu-hyun also had a similar one.

It was a dream of the ti when he first witnessed the world collapsing, monsters rampaging, and people dying.

It was a dream of the ti when he struggled to survive in the baptism of despair.

Yu-hyun woke up from the vivid nightmare, feeling its horror.

Tsk.

He got up from his bed and went down to the communal dining room to brew so coffee.

It was a state-of-the-art coffee machine he bought after moving in.

How annoying.

He recalled so unpleasant mories, but he didnt let them bother him too much.

He had anticipated sothing like this would happen, after all.

Hmm.

Yu-hyun looked down at the hot steaming coffee and let out a sound without realizing it.

Co to think of it, everyone else had dreams based on events that actually happened. But the dream that Yu-hyun had in this ti period was not sothing that actually happened.

There was a contradiction there.

Can sothing that will happen in the future be considered as sothing that actually happened, just because I have mories of it?

Yu-hyun took a sip of his coffee and ca up with an answer: It can be.

Yu-hyuns complicated inner thoughts seed to be sensed by Baekryeon, who reacted.

[Why? Whats what?]

Baekryeon. You know, right? That I ca from the future.

[Yeah. Well, you and I are sowhat connected.]

Then, heres a question. The things that I experienced in the future are all in my mory. Then, would those things be considered as existing or not existing in this present?

[Hmm.]

It was a question worth pondering, so Baekryeon fell into thought.

anwhile, Yu-hyun sat at the table and quietly enjoyed his moderately cooled coffee.

When his cup was almost empty, Baekryeon raised both hands.

[Ah! I dont know no matter how much I think! The future is the past? Thats totally contradictory, isnt it?]

Right. Its kind of a ti paradox.

[So, what did you think?]

What I ca up with is, the mont I rember and think about those things, they beco existing things.

Things that havent happened yet beco things that have happened.

That sounded illogical to Baekryeon, who asked nervously.

[They beco existing things? Just because you rember them?]

Thats possible in the mixed world.

The reason why Yu-hyun was confident was because of the peculiarity of the mixed world.

The mixed world was a place where immaterial things could exist in reality.

Soones mory, sothing that happened in the past, they all appeared in reality through the world of thoughts.

I wouldnt have thought so, but I realized it after seeing Sumins story.

The world of Heavenly Demon Seo Sumins nightmare was created by the seed he used in Paradise.

Naturally, what unfolded inside was Sumins past story, and it beca reality.

Yu-hyun thought back on everything that had happened and felt sothing strange.

The fact that soones mory can beco reality That ans Im no different.

If this world was a computer, Yu-hyun was like a USB with data that shouldnt exist.

If this USB connects to the computers main body, the data naturally becos part of the computer.

That was exactly Yu-hyuns situation.

The things I experienced in the future. What if they encounter the peculiarities of this mixed world?

[Wait. That ans]

Yes. That ans the mont I rember the future events, they beco events that have already happened in this mixed world.

[Then, is that okay? Even if the future events beco real in this world, it doesnt seem like they would be easy to find out.]

Well. I thought so too, but I cant be sure about that part.

Yu-hyun wouldnt have worried much if this dream was entirely his own.

But there were people who had the sa experience as him.

Choi Doyoon, Gu Seoyoon, Hwang Se-eun, Jamila.

They shared the sa world as Yu-hyun.

Then what about the people of this era?

Would they be able to recall the world he knew?

If. Just if, my mory exists in this mixed world. And if it affects the people I knew.

[Then? Then what?]

Well. Then It would be quite a hassle.

If that happens, Yu-hyun would be able to confidently claim that this world is a damn place.

[Hey. Wait a minute. Then theres another problem?]

Theres another problem?

[You only have one mory of the future.]

Thats right.

[Then, what about Kwon Jia?]

Huh?

Yu-hyun rembered it only then.

Right. There was Kwon Jia.

She who had lived longer and repeated more lives than him.

If her mory actually affects this mixed world, and it is treated as a real event.

[What happens then?]

That

When he thought about it, it was not a normal serious matter.

[Shouldnt you ask her right now?]

I cant do that. Its too late.

[What?]

She booked a flight ticket early this morning and left for Europe. She said she was going to find the hidden piece of the dream world.

[Hey! Why didnt you stop her!]

How could I stop her? She said she wanted to go alone. I barely held back from following her.

He pretended not to care, but Yu-hyun was also worried.

The hidden piece that Kwon Jia was looking for was related to her lost mory.

To be precise, it was an object that could remind her of her past mories.

A mixed world where soones past mories and recollections can beco reality.

The dream world created by Sumins mory was a typical example.

It was fine now since Kwon Jia couldnt rember all the episodes.

But what if her mory wakes up completely?

If the information of that vast book that he hadnt read yet was released in this mixed world?

How much impact would it have afterwards?

Yu-hyun couldnt even imagine it.
