< Episode 413. Salvation >
I felt a pure white space.
I closed my eyes and, putting aside the question of why I could feel this, something came to me.
[Adrias Cromwell]
It was a system, or rather, Laplace’s demon.
I must have been resting for a while after summoning the great kings of hell, but what happened?
[The contract has been fulfilled.]
[Project: Morning Star has been completed.]
What does this mean again?
Why am I suddenly notified that the contract has ended?
Well, collecting all the sins was a condition of the contract, so aside from that, what is the project?
“iced coffee.”
Gradually, my senses began to awaken.
When I opened my eyes, a pure white space welcomed me, just as I expected.
“Demon, are my words heard?”
perhaps······.
Perhaps my words will be heard by the system now.
An intuition that was close to certainty made me open my mouth.
[Player, the one who shines in the darkest places. Please speak.]
It was a fairly grandiose title.
I knew it made more sense than that, so I had to ask.
“Where am I?”
[This is the space of the contract.]
Ah, I see.
I had forgotten, but it seemed like it was a space like this when I first signed a contract with this guy.
“If the contract has been fulfilled, what was promised…”
[That was also implemented immediately.]
I concentrated my consciousness and confirmed the existence of Nebro. It was not clear whether this did not feel like the contract space that the system said it was, or whether they left because the contract had been made.
“I want to check.”
[For full-time contractors, you can be called here as long as you obtain consent.]
I nodded when I heard that I could meet Ilias. In fact, even if all of this was just an illusion created by this devil, I wanted to check even that.
[Message has been sent. Please wait a moment.]
The devil, who said something extremely systematic, was silent for a moment.
-Tiring!
[The other party has accepted the offer.]
At that moment, a girl I don’t know how long appeared next to me. It appeared without any warning, and while she and I were both confused, the devil sent a message again.
[Remaining time: 2 minutes 31 seconds]
Is this a time when Ilias can be in this space?
“Are you an angel?”
Ilias spoke up. Because her appearance was so similar to Luna, it felt slightly different, but she quickly responded.
“that’s right.”
“It’s a little different from what Ilias thought.”
There was something I was curious about.
But I couldn’t bear to ask.
And Ilias seemed to have read my expression and spoke first.
“Number 246.”
“······.”
“In the end, the angel solved it before Ilias.”
A whopping 246 regressions.
It was the 51st time I had experienced it, and since then, I’ve had about 200 more regressions.
“Sorry for late.”
“What are you talking about. In the end, I saved Ilias and Nebro like this.”
“Is Nebro okay?”
The timeline is twisted and I don’t know what’s going on. I have solved the problem here, but what happens to the original sin that has been with me all this time?
“Yes, you’re safe.”
“You’re not lying, really?”
“Ilias, why do you have to lie? “If it had been a lie, he would have extended his contract in the first place.”
Ilias’ eyes shone brightly for a moment. And the moment I saw those eyes, I realized.
As she went through a whopping 241 regressions, she was by no means an ordinary person…
“Because Ilias can never give up on Nebro.”
I was worried that Ilias, whom I thought would be fine, might actually be broken somewhere due to this slightly scary obsession.
However, despite those worries, Ilias returned to his normal eyes for a moment and held out his hand to me.
“We don’t have much time. “Thank you so much, angel.”
I took the outstretched hand. She wondered if it would happen, but she felt a certain warmth.
“Thank you so much for saving us.”
[Remaining time: 0 seconds]
Ilias disappeared as if he had never existed in the first place, just as he had appeared. However, the warmth remaining in his hand proved that what had just happened was absolutely not a lie.
[Time is up.]

“Is Navro okay too?”
[Player, the observer watching the destruction, returned to the original world line with the help of Player, the one who shines in the darkest places.]
“I hope this isn’t a dream.”
I pinched my cheek for a moment and then remembered what the devil had first said.
“I think you said something about Project Saetbyeol earlier. What is the project?”
[It is a birth myth.]
“Birth myth?”
Mysteriousness arose at the sudden remark.
So is this the story of the birth of the morning star?
[All non-standard beings are born with their own birth myths. The transcendent that Player knows, only a special few among them can have.]
“I don’t understand. “Does saying that the project was completed in the first place mean that someone’s birth myth was created?”
[That’s right.]
No matter how much you hear about it, the myth of the birth of Project Morning Star is…
“Does the morning star refer to me?”
[That’s right. The heir to destiny who has gathered all the Seven Deadly Sins is Player, the one who shines in the darkest places.]
Does this mean that I eventually became a transcendent?
Actually, the moment I felt the Auror’s secret power, the thought that it was nonsense crossed my mind for a moment. A transcendent power that no human being can dare to exert.
On the one hand, it was an ability that made it understandable why, even with such talent and swordsmanship skills, he had not been able to learn the Auror’s secret techniques until now.
Because it was such a powerful Auror skill, even with that ability, I couldn’t learn it.
[Are all your questions answered?]
Are you curious?
This is why I thought about the question a little more.
“I still have questions about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. “What are those guys?”
I thought it was simply a boss monster, but after seeing the red and blue knights, I had a strong feeling that there was something there.
The Blue Knight of Death had definitely mentioned the word contract, and I was convinced that it might have something to do with Laplace’s demon.
[It was a side story for the birth myth.]
“Did you plan this?”
[That’s right. Among the beings from other dimensions, we have brought in those who have made a contract with the system. The goal is the destruction of the Galakshuur continent. If successful, each person was rewarded according to the contract.]
There was no other evil like this.
In the end, it means that I recruited a scapegoat for the story I was creating.
[In the case of the Red Knight of War, an error occurred in the route. However, the project has become more abundant, so it is a positive variable…]
“What happens to me now?”
The more I listened, the more I felt like I was playing into the hands of Laplace’s devil. No, you’re actually playing around.
In the end, I didn’t want to admit that this was all just a story to create a transcendent person. I also hated the fact that the main character was me.
When I interrupted him, the devil immediately changed the subject.
[In a new world, you will be reborn as a non-standard being.]
That’s not possible. How did I achieve happiness?
I gathered my will and denied what the other person said.
“I am Adrias Cromwell.”
Clearly, clearly, clearly.
The will to never accept was fierce.
“There is no need for a new world or a new name.”
[Even if the player refuses, he cannot defy the system.]
I tried to resist, but there was nothing in this space. It was a situation where there was no sword, no mana, and no undead.
Ugh!
My body rose into the air.
I desperately tried to say anything to get out of the current situation.
“contract! “I will sign a new contract!”
[Player]
Laplace’s demon answered like a machine.
[Every contract the system has ever made has been a stepping stone for Player, the one who shines in the darkest places. Project: Morning Star is ineffective now that it has been completed.]
“You did this shit just because of me, you son of a bitch?”
I have never felt so helpless.
I struggled, but nothing changed the situation. Laplace’s devil was just processing things mechanically, without considering my feelings or state.
“If this is going to be the case, why did you ask me to ask what I’m curious about!”
[It is the duty of the system.]
Are you going to go to another world like this? Someone other than Adrias Cromwell?
I did it this far, but I…
-Beep!
At that time, an unknown sound was heard.
Since I couldn’t identify it, I thought it was just a sound of me being transported somewhere else, but that wasn’t the case.
-Beep! warning!
The sound is heard once again.
Soon, the space began to gradually distort.
[error]
[Player, an observer watching for destruction has invaded.]
While looking at the message sent by Laplace’s devil, the situation is still unclear…
[“I have come.”]
An unknown figure with a black smile appeared through a crack in the space. And the moment I heard his will, I could immediately tell who it was.
“Nebro?”
Nebro…Nebro!
A sense of relief that I was safe filled my whole body. And when Nebro looked at me like that, she sighed and smiled again.
[“You’re still as good as a fool. Is it time to worry about me?”]
“What are you going to say? And when did you even learn mind reading?”
Anyway, what happened? Isn’t this the time to be making jokes like this?
[warning]
[System Error]
He kept repeating the same words as if Laplace’s demon was broken. Meanwhile, Nebro’s energy took hold of me.
[“You helped me, now it’s my turn to help you.”]
“What do you mean?”
[“Don’t you want to go back? Beside your precious people.”]
The reason Nebro came here was revealed.
And the content made me feel strong emotions.
“You can send me back?”
[“no. “I can’t do it alone.”]
What does this even mean? Now is not the time to joke around.
I think I have now opened my eyes to transcendence, but Laplace’s devil was something more than transcendence.
Coming here in the first place was a feat in itself, but Nebro was here alone…
[“I can’t do it alone, but I think it can be done with a group of people.”]
The moment Nebro finished speaking, various energies began to be felt from the cracks in the space. As he said, he did not come alone.
[Error, error, error, error…]
Every time Laplace’s devil repeated the same word, the entire place became dizzy with message windows.
[Player, the ruler who looks down on everything…
Player, the one who stands between eternity and a moment…
Player, one who has forgiven sins…
Player, the one who engraves time on the stump…
Player, the one who whispers rotten hope…
Player, the one who forgets at the end of memory…
Player, the one biting his own tail… Player, one who pursues ultimate wisdom…
Player, one who commemorates the light…
Player, the one who embraces the death of an instant… ]
The message enveloped all directions, coloring the surroundings dazzlingly. Their wandering names were dazzling.
[“Do you understand now? “I came to save you.”]
Nebro’s laughter became clearer.
