chapter 477
477 – I made you shed tears of blood
As soon as the hilt of the sword touched my hand, I lost consciousness.
There was no way I could hold on.
It happened really quickly.
I had some expectations, but
I was embarrassed when it actually happened.
This time too, I lost consciousness against my will. He collapsed on the spot, as if he had been electrocuted by a high-voltage current.
It had to be that way.
Because a huge amount of information flows in.
It wasn’t just a memory of the past.
A wide and diverse range of knowledge pours in.
There was no right to refuse.
Information is forcibly imprinted in the brain.
I just had no choice but to accept these.
A huge amount of data is directly inserted into the folds of the brain. Just as we hear and understand voices with our ears, our brain acquires and absorbs knowledge instinctively.
As someone who came from the modern world, I can never understand the herbivore skills of swordsmanship, the culture and food recipes that only exist on the Drango continent, etc… … .
It was the first time I had encountered this in my life, but
You master them in no time.
More extensive and detailed knowledge than necessary is poured out.
In addition to that, it also contained quite a bit of miscellaneous knowledge. The original recipe, which I had to look into through the system until now, also comes directly into my head.
‘Pfft! If I keep going like this, I feel like my head will break… … !’
I’m dying because of the terrible headache from earlier.
It was okay until the memories came back.
But this crushing headache showed no signs of getting better.
ㅡWooksin! Thick! Thick!
Having been forcibly indoctrinated with knowledge for hours… … . In other words, it felt like I was forcing data to be downloaded into my head into insufficient storage space.
I felt like my head was going to explode due to overload.
The memories and knowledge accumulated over tens of thousands of years were indescribably enormous.
‘… But most of these are food recipes, right?’
It was like that. There were thousands of food recipes going through my head right now.
As well as food that I have never seen before,
Things that seem like they have been seen somewhere are also passing by.
From desserts made with blue-green cream frozen and chocolate inside, to cheese bread topped with plenty of drill apples and baked in an open fire, to military-style bread generously placed on a plate.
‘what… ? These are all things I created? But is there something subtly different?’
These were definitely foods I made, but
The image was somehow very unfamiliar.
It felt like an image file pulled from the Internet, not something I created myself.
「… Yes, Internet! “It was definitely that name, right?”
‘… … ?!’
Then suddenly an unfamiliar voice is heard.
No, it was a voice more familiar than anyone else.
But at the same time, it was a voice that felt more foreign than anyone else.
What kind of nonsense is this? To put it simply, it feels similar to listening to your own voice recorded on a tape recorder.
It’s a subtle voice that definitely sounds like mine, but doesn’t sound like mine. It echoes in my head.
“Ah, I guess you can finally hear my voice now. It’s nice to meet you like this, and I’m also sorry. “My agent.”
“deputy..? Well, that means you are a breeder… … ?!”
The word “agent” makes me speechless.
All I’ve done so far is think about it in my mind.
A voice comes out in surprise at the word agent.
It was truly amazing.
A man’s voice penetrates my consciousness.
The human image of a man appears in a subspace filled with only pure white light.
“That’s right. I had a hard time taking over the memories I left behind. And thank you for being so good to me so far.”
-Flash!
I am thankful for the man who suddenly appeared in front of me with a flash of light. It feels like looking into a mirror.
A man who looks exactly like me smiles a kind smile.
“Hey, hey you! These memories… … . Is everything I saw true? You dragged me into this world… … ?!”
“yes. You must have been very surprised. My memory is now your memory and consciousness. Still, I’m sorry for arbitrarily making you my agent. “Let me apologize for this.”
The person in front of me bows politely.
The feeling of the image in the mirror moving as it pleases.
I had no response to his apology.
“… … .”
If it had been the first time I was possessed, I would have been furious, but now a lot of time has passed. Moreover, since I was just beginning to recognize myself as a breeder, I didn’t feel much emotional agitation.
“… Why did it have to be me?”
I was just curious about the reason.
I also enjoyed cooking as a hobby,
Why am I an ordinary person with no special merits… … ?
“It’s a simple reason. “You were the first person to show so much affection for the Destiny Dragons I created.”
“Well, what does that mean? A lot of affection..? All I remember is swearing in the inquiry email… … .”
“What are you talking about? No one has invested as much money as you. There is nothing more important than money to humans living in a capitalist society, right? You were the first person to put so much love into a game I created. “Thanks to that, you came into my eyes.”
“Ahahaha..? The only reason I was brought here… … . “It was because I used a gacha worth 2 million won?”
After hearing the reason for possession, the back of my head felt tingly.
I wondered if I had heard correctly.
It’s so absurd that I burst out laughing.
It seems that very few people were able to find the game in the first place.
Was I the only person who paid more than 2 million won for that game?
“… Huh, but why did he suddenly appear? “Have you appeared to regain your body?”
“Ahahaha! No way. That’s impossible. “You are already me, and I am you, so why would you try something close to necromancy?”
“Then why… … ?”
“I came here for a moment to express my gratitude to you for reaching this far on your own without my help, and to apologize for unintentionally causing you trouble.”
“hmm? If you say it was an unintentional hardship… “Is it because of the sword hilt that was lost when brought to the academy?”
“answer. I guess my memory came back. If I hadn’t lost it, I would have been able to make you aware of all of this as soon as you came into my body. If that were the case, everything could have been resolved much more easily and wisely.”
“I guess that was it… … ?”
“Well, it’s still a good thing in the end, but… … . Anyway, you just need to take my knowledge and experience. I will just watch you defeat the demon dragon beyond your consciousness. “That’s enough.”
“Just knowledge and experience? Is that really all it takes? “Don’t you want to see Derke again?”
“Well, definitely… ! Of course it would be a lie if I said no, right? But, as I said before, you and I are now one body. If you are with Derke, then I am also with Derke. And there are other children as well as Derke, right? “We made so many connections in that short period of time.”
“Kuh, khuh…” … !”
“Anyway, those kids like you, they don’t like me, right? I have already lived enough to live this life. There is no desire in the body. “I just wish for the complete disappearance of Detronos.”
“Well, it was something like that… … . Anyway, then, has everything been handed over to you now?”
“That’s right! But before you wake up, I have one more favor to ask of you!”
“ask? “Is there anything else other than the Demon Dragon’s control?”
“My daughter… … . Please find my daughter Derpy.”
“W-what..? My daughter… … ?”
The name Derpy resembles Derke.
It was a name I had never heard before.
Haven’t all my memories passed on yet?
My head is pounding, as if I’m remembering something.
“I’ll find out later when I slowly trace my memories, but about 500 years ago, when I was just starting to work as Rayleigh’s tutor, there was a young lady I met by chance. “If it weren’t for her help, we wouldn’t have been able to create a medium called ‘Destiny Dragons.’”
“what? But why are you asking me to find it? Are you sure you didn’t notice it then? “The name is similar and the appearance must be similar to Derke, right?”
「Hmm..! I’m embarrassed to answer, but that’s true. And at that time, he approached me under the pseudonym ‘Defy’.”
“Defy?”
“Anyway, I also regret it when I think back on it. Moreover, at that time, I was focusing all my attention on finding a way to find an agent… … . I never imagined that she would be my daughter. I didn’t know Derke was pregnant until then… … .」
“But how do you know now?”
“To be precise, I’m not sure. “It is just a guess that is close to certainty.”
“A close guess? What kind of bullshit is that… … .”
“Listen. When the task of summoning the agent was almost complete, Defy disappeared, leaving behind a small note. In fact, he left only the three letters of his real name, Derpy. And only after that did it occur to me that she might be the daughter born to me and Derke. When I thought about it again, I realized that not only the name but also the appearance was very similar to Derke… … .」
“… … .”
I couldn’t react any more.
I just nodded slowly.
Was it because our consciousness was connected as one?
I only heard the story briefly, but I felt sad and nostalgic.
「… Anyway, I think it’s time for you to wake up.”
“hmm? “Is it finally over?”
“That’s right. And more than anything, it seems like Derke is desperately looking for you. “Quickly wake up and comfort me.”
“… … what?”
-Paaah!
With those words, the dazzling light that had been covering my vision disappeared in an instant.
It feels like someone flipped a switch and turned off the lights.
But this darkness was something I could overcome on my own.
That was because of the darkness cast by my eyelids.
ㅡSrurruk… !
I slowly lifted my eyelids like that.
And before my eyes when I finally regained consciousness… … .
“… Oh, brother? What happened-!?”
Derke’s eyes were filled with tears.
“D-Derke… ? what’s the matter? Who the hell are you… … ?”
I don’t know what happened while I was unconscious, but I have decided on this one thing.
I will find the person who made Derke cry and make him shed bloody tears.
