This world consists of more than 100 islands.
One of which humans originally inhabited.
Their island had good water and beautiful fertile land.
And with the developnt of science ca better living conditions, but…
It was too successful, and as the population grew, it beca a problem.
Cramped and ridiculously insufficient at accommodating the growing numbers, a new ho was needed.
That’s when Hanniel stepped forward.
Having developed the first flying machine and developing it to the limit to be able to travel outside their island, he finally discovered the existence of another island.
For the first ti, a human being successfully flew to another island.
This other world still lived on a cramped island, and have not develop flight technology because they saw no reason to leave.
No, in the first place, their technology lagged far behind the humans.
The war of conquest was easy.
Since they’ve started searching for new hos, Hanniel has conquered as many as nine islands.
The conquered islands were colonized and the original inhabitants were enslaved.
Hanniel plans to turn this whole world into one that belongs to humans.
…That’s the backstory and plot of this world.
#DawnFairies_Don’t_Dream
Seodem looked at Hanniel, the protagonist, standing before him.
Instead of a hang glider, he was covered in strange scientific equipnt, and had 20 n with him.
Simply in terms of physical ability, each was E or D Rank, while Hanniel was clearly D Rank.
Seodam glanced around.
Trees, trees, and more trees.
Blocked by obstacles everywhere, this is the worst place for aerial combat.
So Seodam has been using guerrilla warfare and retreating here, but he didn’t expect them to follow him all the way here.
‘In fact, that kind of person is the most difficult to deal with.’
The enemies he faced the other day sohow managed to create a situation in which he has forced the protagonist’s hand.
The reason why he chose this thod is because it would be a death that fits the ‘flow of the plot,’ as well as it being safe and inexpensive.
However, this ti it was not.
There are thousands of n who swore absolute loyalty to the protagonist, so fighting the protagonist ant fighting all of them.
‘But…’
How do they plan on fighting?
That question arose in his mind.
Their wings are useless here in the woods.
On the contrary, it was more advantageous for Seodam.
As if answering the question, with fine wind control, Hanniel slowly ca forward.
‘Oh, what is that?’
Unlike the wings worn by the others, there were two small wind ejection machines reminiscent of a rocket as well as very tiny wings hung on his sides.
Since it was impossible to fly high into the air, a new technology that enables aerial combat in this dense forest was used, called the Tornado Launcher Glider.
Seodam wasn’t sure, but he sowhat knew they would have a contingency plan for fighting in forest areas.
“Surrender. Killing you would be a waste of talent.”
“Oh…”
Trying to appease an enemy that has killed 200 of his n.
Well, that’s the protagonist for you.
“What if I refuse?”
“Only death awaits.”
Said Hanniel, taking out a heavy steel sword.
Seodam has seen sothing similar on Earth.
It was a saw.
However, it doesn’t seem to be an ordinary saw.
It was a saw made from a special tal that could only be found here.
But, this weapon that was made by the inventor Hanniel himself, there were only 21 due to the lack of materials.
That’s why only Hanniel and the 20 n of the Windfury Force have it.
Still, there’s only one answer.
In the first place, the answer is fixed.
“I refuse.”
“I thought that’d be the case.”
Now there’s no other choice but to kill or be killed.
Then, Hanniel continued.
“Is your mission to protect the Dawn Fairies’ village?”
“Roughly.”
“Then, it’s too late. Earlier today, my contact sent the location of the Dawn Fairies’ village. While we have you occupied, 500 troops are heading there now.”
Saying so, he smiled.
“All will die.”
Seodam realized why Hanniel has spoken up to now.
‘He must have thought to create an opening by making restless.’
After hearing that, if Seodam’s state of mind wavers, from their point of view, he will be much easier to subdue.
So once Seodam knows of their plan, he will be even more anxious.
Truly an evil plan.
However, the fact is, Seodam doesn’t care whether the hos of the Dawn Fairies collapse or not.
‘The sa old trick.’
Though, Seodam still felt quite burdened having to deal with the E-D Ranks who could fly perfectly.
Because there’s no law stating Hanniel has to fight alone.
He began to think.
Hanniel has now conquered 9 islands.
Although there are about 90 islands left to his goal, the the of this world is ‘Dawn Fairy.’
A human conqueror protagonist, and Dream Island, one of the many islands.
Why was this place the center of the plot?
Thinking up to here, Seodam recalls the ‘forbidden love’ hashtag.
Perhaps Hanniel is having an affair with soone from Dream Island.
Their technology alone shouldn’t have been able to find the hiding spots of the Dawn Fairies.
In other words, Hanniel fell in love with soone he plans on invading.
It was possible to speculate that much.
He doesn’t know who it is, but…
It’s not a big problem.
“Hanniel.”
“…You know my na?”
“Of course. I’ve heard a lot about you. From ‘her.”’
The word ‘her’ was just a guess.
He has no idea whether Hanniel was in love with a man or woman.
However, as if his rough guess was correct, Hanniel flinched.
“Right…What did she say about ?”
“We talked a lot. She’s been a friend of mine since we were kids. She always spoke of your dream. About a wild dream of you wanting to get your hands on the whole world.”
“…”
Actually, the Client had told him the backstory, but he didn’t know exactly what stage Hanniel and ‘her’ plot are at, so he was walking on a tightrope.
Because if Hanniel says ‘I’ve never told that story,’ his lie would be discovered.
“She really loves you from the bottom of her heart. I tried to stop her. The man is using you. He’s trampling on your dreams and using it as a stepping stone for his dream. But she didn’t believe it. In the end, she still trusted you. That’s why I ca alone to fight without telling the Dawn Fairies. To protect that child’s dream.”
Seodam continued.
“As a result, she trusted you till the end but you betrayed her.”
When he finished speaking, contrary to being agitated.
“…How about you?”
Asked Hanniel with a stiff expression.
Seodam was slightly flustered here.
He didn’t think Hanniel would be so calm.
“, until the last mont…I believed it. It sounded nice.”
Their first eting was a coincidence.
Suddenly, Hanniel recalls the first ti he saw Sarilyn’s smile.
Bathed in moonlight, a beautiful smile.
She had many dreams.
Like him, she dread of a broader world.
But unlike him, she wanted to travel the world, not conquer it.
So Hanniel showed her the reality of the world.
That it isn’t such a romantic place.
Only when it’s dyed with blood, will a peaceful world co.
Soon, Dream Island will be like that too, he said.
Hanniel had deceived Sarilyn.
‘So that the Dawn Fairies can be protected, we’re going to protect them.’
‘But, the fairies are conservative. They call you devils. They’ll never accept humans.’
‘If so, we’ll use a little bit of force. Even if we go too far, eventually, we’ll subdue the Dawn Fairies and force them under our protection.’
In the end.
‘Tell where the Dawn Fairies live.’
She was used.
Having lost her worth, he had ordered the Deputy Commander to kill them all.
“…At one point. It’s true that I had feelings for her.”
“…”
“But, that was then. I just reflected on that fact when I set out today to kill you.”
‘This…’
Seodam burst out laughing.
If the developnt had followed the original plot, Hanniel would have fallen in love with a Dawn Fairy.
Perhaps he would have given up the dream of conquest, either way, that would have been the ending.
But by interfering, the direction of the plot has changed.
Thinking that he should conquer the Dawn Fairies as soon as possible, Hanniel’s love for the woman never had ti to grow.
‘Maybe this is for the better.’
Wouldn’t a love made through deceit be better than falling in love with a woman of the tribe he slaughters?
If so, an obvious developnt would have happened.
‘I’m sorry I secretly murdered your people.’
Then, when Hanniel inevitably cries and beg, the woman who is moved by his action will not even think twice about her people’s deaths.
‘No. I forgive you for everything. I love you.’
That’s what she would say.
It’s ridiculous if you think about it.
Is an apology going to bring back the dead?
Thinking so, Seodam drew his aether blade.
“Is that the weapon you are most confident in?”
The saw, a weapon that maximizes destructive power by rotating.
However, it could be said that the ‘Aether Blade’ is the final evolution of the saw.
“So. It’s a sword? It’s stupidly simple.”
Hanniel was arrogant.
He did not put his focus on rifles and cannons because he thought it was enough against other species.
But the saw was different.
It was his greatest achievent since it was a secret weapon made using all the science and materials at his disposal.
“…You’re right.”
Seodam pressed a button on the aether blade and it activated.
Then, with a burst of strong energy, a glow emitted from all sides.
“…Wh..at…?”
Truly a sad protagonist.
If not for being the ‘protagonist,’ he might have beco the best inventor in the world.
If not for the clumsy desire to conquer.
If only, how great it would have been.
Seodam has no intention of flaunting his own scientific weapons.
After all, he didn’t create it himself, while the enemy had created one on his own.
Just, born in the wrong world in the wrong era with the wrong fate.
Even though he’s a genius, nevertheless, to Seodam, he has to die.
Tat!
Seodam lept with ease, then heavily swung his aether blade.
A single simple swing!
Hanniel lifted his saw to block it…
…Swaah!
His greatest invention was futility cut in half.
Whi-iing!!
“Eueuk…!”
The youngest princess, Sarilyn, with all her might, called upon the forces of nature.
Although she’s a genius and could use the power of spirits even without the spirit inheritance, there was a limit to it.
She was pushed back when the ‘spirit’ really began using its power.
‘What the hell…!’
It was the strange flower.
The flower that appeared with the existence called Guide.
Sarilyn recognizes the flower.
In a very distant past, when the world was stained with blood by war.
A flower blood.
In other words, the truth is, it’s a ‘primal spirit’ born from death.
The silver flower, as if singing, controlled the wind to dance.
But, to Sarilyn it was like a storm, as it squeezed her body.
Water, Fire, Wind, Electricity, Soil.
No spirits could go against it.
‘The spirits shouldn’t hate …!’
Innately, all spirits loved her.
It watched over her and never refused her requests.
“Stop…it…!”
[I can’t…]
However, this spirit did not listen to her.
[Well, the witch hates…]
After saying that strange remark.
[Silver Spiritual Flower linked to Yoo Seodam.]
[…Synchronization check.]
[Silver Spiritual Flower linked to White Witch’s Library (F).]
Suddenly, on top of the pure white flower, a little girl blood.
Next, the spirit that was swaying above the beautiful silver flower turned its palms toward Sarilyn.
A deford picture appears in the air and squarely hits Sarilyn.
Boom!
“Ahuek!”
Sarilyn, who was hit by a huge hamr-like wind, was knocked out of the room, smashing the wooden door in the process.
They were on the tallest tree and she almost fell, but the tree did not save her.
Quickly hanging onto a branch, Sarilyn gracefully landed on the ground.
Having watched what happened, Marilyn shakily stood up and hugged the flowerpot into her arms.
A little girl had grown on top of the flower.
She has never seen a spirit with this form before.
‘We have to go after her.’
She was now having strange ideas.
The devils, she couldn’t believe it.
They were evil, cunning, and cruel.
And by no ans are they trustworthy.
Because of the gas, Marilyn found it hard to move her body, nonetheless, she hurried down to persuade her sister.
…However, it was too late.
“Big sister. I guess I couldn’t beat the power of inheritance even with my talent…But, if the power of spirits won’t do. What if I borrow the devil’s power, would that work?”
“…!”
Suddenly, covering the sky was hundreds of shadows.
Users of wind and gunpowder, the devils.
Now, they’ve arrived here.
“Ah, ah…”
As Marilyn swayed, she collapsed to the ground.
One by one, the devils landed in their village, and the Dawn Fairies, who were in a disarray, began running in all directions.
Sarilyn, maintaining as much of a gentle look as possible, spoke to Marilyn.
“Big sister. Don’t worry. They’re going to protect us-”
…Bang!
“…Huh?”
Feeling sothing foreign in her stomach, Sarilyn stopped.
“Blood…?”
A beautiful violet liquid.
The blood of a Dawn Fairy.
Why?
As soon as she had such a thought, her legs felt weak and she collapsed.
Imdiately, seeing her sister falling, Marilyn tearfully scread.
“Ah, no way…!!”
Then, the person who shot her in the stomach approached, and spoke.
“Don’t move. If any bugs are caught moving, I’ll shoot them all like your princess here.”
It was iyan, Deputy Commander of the human troops.
Imdiately, the Dawn Fairies gave up running away.
The devils with wings already have them surrounded.
The children fairies struggled to hold back their tears and the adults fairies endured the humiliation.
iyan laughed at the sight of Marilyn crawling towards the fallen Sarilyn.
“I can’t believe it. Did you really fall for the Commander’s words?”
“Ah, aeuk.”
Sarilyn slowly raised her head.
A woman with brown hair was looking down at her in disgust.
“You should know your place as a savage tribe. I’m so proud of my fiancée who has been associating with a filthy race like yours all this ti.”
“…F-fiancée?”
“Yes. Hanniel Maximov. We promised to marry each other. It has long been decided by our family. Do you understand? How dare you think you’re his match.”
With trembling eyes, Sarilyn spoke to iyan.
“I don’t believe it. He definitely loves …”
“So. Everything was a lie. You still don’t understand? Stupid thing.”
iyan approached Sarilyn, placed her gun to Sarilyn’s forehead, and pushed hard.
“Filthy savage tribe. You should know your place.”
“Eueuk!”
It hurts.
Really, the pain was terrible.
A pain she has never felt in her life before.
The pain that was spreading from her abandonnt?
No, not that.
The pain of a broken heart after being betrayed by the one you loved, it was too painful.
Sarilyn heaved and groaned in pain as she shed tears at the unbelievable reality.
Then, the flower spoke.
[Do you want…help?]
‘Huh?’
It wasn’t directed at the second princess.
The flower was speaking to Marilyn, who was losing consciousness from her wound.
She couldn’t understand why the flower said it would help her.
However, there’s no way now.
‘Help . Please.’
[…Mhm.]
Imdiately, Sarilyn felt a cool and refreshing air surrounding her.
The pain was slightly gone, and she could clearly feel the power of wind.
This was the silver spirit’s power.
Basking in the energy, Sarilyn slowly opened her mouth.
“Really. The Chief Commander…did he order you to kill ?”
“Yeah.”
“The Chief Commander really…from the beginning didn’t even think of ?”
“Of course. Such the likes of you-”
iyan, who had an irritated look, stopped talking when she felt herself suffocating.
“…How arrogant.”
“W-what…keuek!”
Slowly standing up.
Sarilyn grabbed iyan’s gun, then aid it at her head.
“Here is…the center of Dream Island. Nature is within the grasp of us Dawn Fairies. Like the bullets you’re so proud of, I can make as much as I want in a breath.”
Chikchik!
She has never used a gun before, but she knows how to load it from watching soone she once loved do it.
Struggling to overco the pain in her abdon, she struck iyan’s head!
Then, after having knocked iyan to the ground, she pointed her gun at iyan.
“W-what…”
“Deputy Commander…!!”
The human soldiers were taken aback.
This is enough.
iyan, a master hand-to-hand combatant, unable to resist such a weak girl, was grabbing the ground and struggling to breath.
‘Luckily, it seems like it worked…’
Sarilyn has a talent for spirits, but she didn’t have the inheritance, so her output was limited, and thus her destructive power was limited, making it impossible for her to beat the silver spiritual flower.
However, nevertheless, her outstanding talent is better than anyone else.
If Seodam saw it, he would’ve given it a couple of S’s.
And now with the silver spirit power…
It’s possible for her to control the wind to its limit and suffocate soone.
“…Do I look like a little kid who would sit and cry after a heartbreak?”
“Ukuek, kohkeuk…”
“…I have a dream. To never stop moving forward. Such a dream…”
Sarilyn’s complexion was white as a sheet, but with an indomitable will, she held on.
She had brought it upon herself.
And, the only person who can resolve this situation is her, the one who can control the power of spirits.
Therefore, she must not fall.
So, she shouted with all her strength.
“Everyone, get down on your knees! Put your weapons on the ground…Then, steadily raise your hands above your heads.”
When the soldiers hesitated, Sarilyn shot iyan in the shoulder.
Bang!
As the gunshot reverberated in their ears, only then did the soldiers realize the seriousness of the situation, and thus, one by one, they dropped their weapons.
“You, think…this…is of any use….huh?”
Despite having her lungs squeezed, iyan spoke to Sarilyn.
“Soon…he will co.”
The Chief Commander.
Coming here.
Perhaps, Sarilyn will have to fight him.
Because the man isn’t sentintal enough to care about iyan being held hostage.
“Yes, I know.”
From here on out, she must fight an even more dangerous, cruel, cunning, and powerful enemy.
When she thought about it rationally, it was absolutely impossible.
To fight that monstrous man, how many more must be sacrificed.
‘…The fairies will be defeated.’
The future is fixed.
From the mont she was deceived, everyone’s death, including hers, was a forgone conclusion.
The fact made her regretful and anguished.
She felt like she would shed tears of blood at any mont now, but endured it.
Whi-iing!!
From sowhere, the wind was blowing.
Soone’s coming.
Sarilyn aid her gun at that spot, thinking that even if she dies today, to the man who betrayed her, she’s going to struggle till the end.
…Boom!
From the sky, sothing fell.
“…Huh?”
It was unmistakable Hanniel.
Just, his body was covered in wounds and it looked like he was on the verge of death.
“This…What the hell…?”
When Sarilyn raised such a question, a voice ca from behind.
“I forgot the flowerpot, so I brought you a hostage to use as a bargaining chip. I guess that wasn’t necessary.”
“…!”
Hurriedly turning her head, she saw a man carefully hugging the flowerpot that was in Marilyn’s arms.
Looking at his back and seeing him carefully dusting off the sand on the flowerpot, Sarilyn’s tension eased as she collapsed on the spot.
“Ha, haha. Ha…”
Sohow, it was a really, really long day.
