Chapter 100– At a Loss
Ian shut down his access to Elder Lord
He sat down on the floor and felt nauseous The bitter fluid in his stomach welled up but he clenched his jaw and sed it A burning sensation in his esophagus could be felt
The boundaries between reality and fantasy were blurred
In Elder Lord, he found the Temple of the Fallen God like Gordon told hi called Paimon and was sucked into darkness He questioned Paimon about the white star on his forehead In the end, he ray woman in another world
She was Elder Lord, the system that watched over the world of Elder Lord It could either be the truth, or a cruel joke told by a sophisticated virtual reality system
He didn't know Ian wiped his mouth and left the room He stood in front of the sink He washed his face with cold water His head cleared His face in the ard He stared at his own eyes
In the world covered with ashes, he saw numerous white stars in the dark blue sky It was a tomb The stars would have to endure a lot of tiht and became an unobservable star Until they turned black like his eyes
'Raven, I sometimes envy your black eyes'
'Why are you envious?'
‘Black is the color of ets while the mission is carried out Look at me How annoyed would they be if they looked into ?'
Her eyes were a cheerful blue Old memories were revived and disturbed his head He frowned and placed his forehead on the cold surface of the mirror
He thought about it Make soht experiment
Then, let's assua to soh? The orcs They weren't roup of people who followed their beliefs
Then Groame, betrayed them Orcs were killed There were also the victims in Arnin The Chesswood residents who died Quantes, Shakan, the north, they were all real All the wretched screams and pained faces were real
Ian closed his eyes He thought that his head would become clearer once he confined his vision to darkness, but he just felt more confused He opened his eyes and splashed them ater The cold water cooled his head for a brief moment
The door opening from outside was heard
”Oppa, I'm home”
He heard Yiyu's voice behind hi in reality He entered the living roo
”You're not playing the game today Did you quit?”
It was a strangely pleasant voice She cleaned up her belongings, looked in the ain
Ian asked, “You're not going to play Elder Lord again, are you?”
”Huh? Uh Should I?”
”Don't do it”
”……?”
She was confused Ian didn't say anything else and entered his roohly and left the house Ian left but he couldn't figure out where to go He didn't want to go to the café As he walked down the street, he saw the gyhts weren't organized
Ian headed towards 'Baek Hanho's Gyreeted him with a bow Baek Hanho raised an eyebrow at the sudden visit and sincere attitude, but he didn't say anything else
Ian changed into basic training clothes
“Can I use this?”
”Sure”
He wrapped bandages around his hands and wore gloves The gy weights, doing crossfit alone or punching a sandbag It was a time when there weren't many people
Ian stood in front of a sandbag in a corner He stared at the black leather surface He could see parts where it had been beaten Ian patted it doith the pal was adjusted
He would punch this one until he was exhausted When was the last time he did this? He asked himself and his memory led him to Orcrox Fortress
He hit the sandbag with his fist
Paang!
He approached silently and delivered through kinetic energy through a snap Ian's fist hit the punching bag A delightful sound spread out Paang, paang,shook He felt disconnected
'Don't drop your head! Look ahead! Look at the enemy!'
His strength increased
'It is hard! nobody cares!'
The punching bag started to shake greatly
'Everything is hard! It doesn't er!'
Kwaang!
The sandbag was strongly pushed and ain at the strong sound of the sandbag being hit Ian grabbed the returning sandbag and breathed out
Baek Hanho approached “What are you doing?”
”Master”
”What’s going on?”
Baek Hanho was confused
He knew that Ian wasn't the type of man to reveal his emotions He didn't shed any tears when his parents died and he was left with his sister His face was cal him up When he left to beco to a picnic
Now he seery
”Nothing”
“Hrmm…”
Baek Hanho touched his chin
“Do you want a cup of coffee?”
He gestured towards the er'soffice
The er's room was as luxuriously decorated as Baek Hanho There were a few chairs and a wooden table set up in theeach other
Baek Hanho made coffee He didn't like coffee, but he was used to it
Ian opened his mouth, ”Master”
Baek Hanho looked up from the pricey coffee machine
“LetWhat if…”
Ian asked Baek Hanho about Elder Lord It was a story about hoas another world, not a garee with him No, it was like the concept itself didn't reach him
“It was a reality instead of a ga too much Elder Lord?”
”What if?”
“What about it? This guy, you shouldn't do this”
”Huh?”
“A decent guy like you shouldn't be all caught up in games Should I introduce you to a female?”
“Master, that's not… just iine it”
”Shut up! This jerk saying so like this all of a sudden” Baek Hanho chuckled
Ian looked down Baek Hanho's iination was always open But he didn't even want to start this conversation
Did that woe perceptions?
Ian tried to carry on the conversation a fewthe topic It was like he couldn't hear the dialogue that Elder Lord ht be another dimension
Ian opened his phone while talking a little bit e
[Oppa contacting me first, what is it?]
It was Ji Hayeon Ian wanted to a Corporation was a co Group The first thing he thought about after closing the connection was to
As Ian wrote his reply, Baek Hanho glanced at the screen of his phone
“Hah You already have a 'so= )
The word 'soed from Baek Hanho's mouth
“You also know the word 'some'”
