The Player Hides His Past

Episode 515 It wasn’t a pleasant thing (4),

but this time I couldn’t get over it with blurry eyes.

Lord Cloudy.

Young Granfell.

Sangsanghwa that grew from blood.

A series of unexpected scenery.

Because I couldn’t forget the scene that was reflected in my blurry vision.

So I had no choice but to ask.

‘What the hell is it, Granfell?’

I still didn’t know what secrets the Cloudy family held. It only gave us a glimpse of the Sangsanghwa that filled the vast Cloudy territory.

The cruelty of secrets.

‘…After all, aren’t my settings everything?’

I am Lee Ho-yeol.

Having a power that exceeds that of a single player.

There is something I truly understand.

With great power comes great responsibility.

So I had a question.

How did Cloudy become great?

Whether overrated or mistaken, I was Lee Ho-yeol, who was treated as a great player in reality. Because objectively, he is ahead of other players and has many achievements.

but.

‘Even to me.’

Eyes of suspicion and strict standards. Checks and checks, big and small, were constant. Of course, I don’t mean to complain now. I know very well that it is human nature.

Like I said, it’s just a question.

‘No one who knew Cloudy had any doubts.’

About Cloudy’s greatness.

Is it simply because of his overwhelmingly great ability and nobility?

no.

Because that counterexample was me.

If so, the thoughts naturally reach you.

[The flower that grew from blood]

The flower that covered Cloudy’s spirit might

be… a flower that bloomed in the process of the Cloudy family becoming great.

I gritted my teeth inwardly.

‘Cloudy’s secret could be cruel. however.’

That’s what I don’t understand.

Granfell you.

you in the past

It was sent back to the Cloudy family.

‘Maybe it’s because I have a nephew of that age.’

The expression that remained on Granfell’s young face.

The clothes were adjusted with small hands.

Even a polite greeting with its own formality.

I couldn’t easily forget the sight of young Granfell.

‘But you wouldn’t know.’

A young you who would have qualified to become the head of the family.

The reason why, unlike you, you tried to escape Cloudy’s spirit.

And whatever the reason may be.

‘We could have changed, right?’

The fact that he was able to change the present by intervening in young Granfell’s past. Do you think it’s funny to talk about changing the past when people were worried about the butterfly effect?

It doesn’t matter if it’s funny or not.

There’s only one thing on my mind right now.

‘There is nothing in the world more pitiful than a child who grows up early.’

Because I was only concerned about what would happen to young Granfell when he returned to the Cloudy family and the Cloudy spirit, which was full of [Sangbohwa that grew from blood].

Words that pass by in my memory.

-“Remember, boy. “There is no paradise where you run away.”

It’s a pity, though.

Even I am more familiar with the Granfell style of speaking than anyone else.

I couldn’t nod my head at those words.

Fluffy.

A pile of [Space-Time Gold Coins] given as compensation. It was out of sight now. I roughly put it in my inventory and reached for the scroll with the highest level space-time request written on it.

‘Let’s find out.’

And if there is a related quest, let’s start it right away. I felt like I could alleviate some of this guilt by watching young Granfell like that.

However, it was impossible to guess from the quest name and goal alone. Just as I never imagined that I would encounter young Granfell in the quest just moments ago.

‘…shit.’

Still, I continue reading with some regret.

[Mythic-level Quest: Storm Dragon’s Envy]

[Mythic-level Quest: Nightmare of the Sea]

[Mythic-level Quest: Shepherd Boy]….

But soon I put down the scroll.

Then I took a deep breath.

I spoke to Granfell.

‘Let’s take some time to think.’

Because I still don’t understand why you said that. You don’t plan on revealing your secret to me, who doesn’t understand, do you?

‘After that, I’m going to try my best this time.’

I checked the flashing message.

[Hidden Quest: Lifting the Abyss]

The Cloudy family has a secret.

A secret that no one has been able to uncover.

Until I realized the secret.

Until I realized its weight.

You won’t be able to wield Cloudy’s halo.

-Witness the complete Cloudy family. (Success)

Although I have not fully realized the secret yet.

Perhaps the weight of the secret is too heavy to dare to imagine.

Now that I can guess.

‘…There is no separate tiger den.’

The walk back to [Hidden Piece: Cloudy’s Report] couldn’t have been so easy. Still, I have to check what needs to be checked. Has light returned to gold and silver treasures?

‘But before that…’

~♩♬♩♬♪~

A social gathering place in time and space.

I guess I’ll have to stop by downstairs and turn off this song first. If you’re playing because you’re a VVIP, can’t you turn it off if the VVIP doesn’t want it?

Again.

Even as he takes off his cloak, he speaks loudly to Granfell.

Until you confess your secret first.

It’s a cold war between us for the time being, Granfell.

“…!”

But damn it, our cold war couldn’t last long.

Oh no.

Thanks to little Granfell filling my head, I forgot about it.

There is a possibility that there are other transcendents in the social arena of time and space…!

‘…Well, if it’s just one or two people.’

One or two of them are also Mary, the Witch of the South Sea.

Or if they are the heads of four families.

All I had to do was put an iron plate on my face as usual.

‘Actually, they even know my full name.’

To them, does it matter that a grand song is played to coincide with my appearance? But every time I clattered down the stairs, my faint expectations were shattered miserably.

Again.

Every time you go down one space.

“!”

The astonished faces of the transcendents are revealed one by one.

‘no.’

The heads of the four families mentioned above and Mary. In addition, there are players including Nam Tae-min, who is very familiar to me. Everyone was looking up to me as I appeared with a majestic performance.

‘really.’

It seems like the world doesn’t want a cold war between us, Granfell…! I don’t want to spread my hands, but I think I’ll need your cube, which is extremely averse to social circles, to disperse the crowd at once.

Only then did Granfell respond to my words.

Between the lips.

A cold voice flows out.

“Stop playing.”

♩♬♩…─

Pop.

Music cut out.

In the silence, I continued speaking.

“I don’t feel like hanging out with you right now.”

There’s no need to say it in such a meaningful way?!

*

“…!!!”

It was unusual.

gulp.

Nam Taemin swallowed dry saliva without realizing it.

‘Hoyeol…?’

An expression that seems desperately patient.

However, emotions faintly flow out from the same face.

That feeling is for Nam Taemin.

No, it felt unfamiliar to everyone here.

sadness.

It was definitely true.

Right now, Hoyeol was desperately trying to suppress his sadness.

Hisagi’s eyes turned to the piece of black cloth in Hoyeol’s hand.

‘Is that clothes…?’

A thought that passes through my mind for a moment.

‘To express condolences to the Great Sage…?’

It was quite possible to think that way. Hisagi shook his head, even though he thought his behavior was off topic. Yes. If it is the commander-in-chief he has seen so far…

‘Even if he is expressing his condolences to the Great Sage.’

He was not the one to swallow his sorrow alone in a place like this.

Even more so when you look at the way he mourned the elders of the magic tower and the tower owner.

Hisagi bit his chapped lip.

‘Then what on earth has caused you…’

to suffer such unprecedented grief?

“….”

Everyone could only stare.

Until all the transcendents and Ho-yeol leave the social venue.

I couldn’t say anything.

[The VVIP leaves the space-time social venue.]

Why did Ho-yeol, who is far from the social world, enter the space-time social venue? The reason must be the sadness hidden behind the stiff expression.

Jessie looked at the stairs stretching out in the distance.

‘Mary can enter the upper floor.’

But even Mary seemed unable to guess why Ho-yeol was sad at this moment. If that’s the case… Jesse’s gaze turns even more upward.

The top floor of the space-time social hall.

If I get there, wouldn’t I be able to understand a little bit why Chief Lee fell into sadness? Jessie put on her cone hat. Then I made a promise.

‘There’s still a long way to go, Jesse Hine.’

That wasn’t just Jessie’s resolution.

In front of Ho-yeol’s emotional change that I witness for the first time.

Those who gathered at the social gathering had a common goal.

I clenched my fist and made a promise.

‘you can do it. No, you have to do it.’

Lee Ho-yeol, Commander-in-Chief of the Crusade Allied Forces, Chief Wizard Cloudy….

You have many names.

As if you were our strength.

Now is the time for us to share your sorrow.

*

Exit from the space of consciousness.

I woke up in my original place.

This is what happened to me.

Sigh.

These were Cloudy’s enormous treasures that had finally regained their light.

To be honest.

There are still quite a few feelings of disappointment left in you, Granfell.

‘No matter what, I don’t think it’s time for us to fight among ourselves.’

Why did I just see you at a space-time social gathering?

Those expressions turned completely white. If we fought twice, I was worried that everyone would freak out just by looking at our faces.

furthermore.

‘I understand your feelings a little bit.’

I’m not saying I understand what you said to that kid.

The integrity and innocence of that guy who tormented me with his actions was not enough.

That meant I could understand it at least a little bit.

[Masterpiece: Uribe’s Oath]

[Level: Unique]

[Limit: Lv.800]

One.

[Master’s masterpiece: Thorn Bracelet]

[Grade: Epic]

[Limit: Lv.950]

Two.

[Melted skin of a mountain animal]

[Class: Legendary]

[Restriction: Unknown]

Three, four, five…

Items piled up so abundantly that it was meaningless to count them. Even compared to the magic tools in the Garnet Hall of the Magic Tower, the grade of these items was higher.

‘No further explanation is needed, right?’

But I, Lee Ho-yeol, was not happy at all.

okay.

Because there was a scenery that overlapped with the gold and silver treasures.

A field of Sargassum flowers growing from blood. Little Granfell greets me with the flower field in the background. The reason why Granfell, who had no choice but to be faithful to formality and discipline, tried to escape Cloudy’s spirit…

I said it with all my heart.

“Get out of my sight.”

I don’t know anything else, but I understand this one thing.

Why are you at Granfell?

Wasn’t he proud of the Cloudy family’s wealth?

‘It’s a shame to use such an unpleasant thing.’

In Cloudy Territory, the orders of the head of the household are absolute.

[Cloudy’s abyss swallows up the sacrifice.]

The report became blank again. Returning to the scenery I saw for the first time. But my heart was not empty. It felt like it was going to explode because it was more complicated than ever.

‘But now there’s only 30% left, right?’

[Comprehension of darkness: 70%]

I don’t know what kind of past you want to hide from me, Granfell. I have thoughts too. I am Lee Ho-yeol. I have no intention of belittling the dark history that I honestly told you about, even if it is unfair.

‘Whatever the past was, I need to know.’

I looked at the system messages.

[Hidden Quest: Lifting the Abyss]

The Cloudy family has a secret.

A secret that no one has been able to uncover.

Until I realized the secret.

Until I realized its weight.

You won’t be able to wield Cloudy’s halo.

-Witness the complete Cloudy family. (Success)

The secret and weight of the Cloudy family?

‘It’s about giving and receiving, something I learned from you.’

Whatever it is.

Just like you didn’t laugh at my dark history.

I will understand everything too.

Did that touch my heart?

The lips moved.

Yeah, I thought there was no way you could forget.

“This makes my valuable investment meaningless.”

Anyway, that’s the end of him!

A valuable investment.

I’m sure you’re referring to the one green tea bag left, right?

‘…Well, okay.’

I feel it.

This time, it’s not just a level, but a different unit.

Let’s order green tea bags that cost 1,000 won each.

‘Surely that Jeju Island green tea was extremely expensive?’

*

AAU Korea Branch.

[Emergency update]

An emergency has been declared by the ringing notification.

“They say cracks are appearing on Jeju Island, sir!”

“crack? “It’s not even a day or two, so why are you making such a fuss?”

“I don’t think that’s an ordinary crack!”

“…what?”

What appears on the monitor is the emergency update details.

yet.

Yoon Soo-gyeom’s face distorted as he raised his glasses.

“A crack connected to Paimon’s domain…? “This is a crack in the first place?!”

At the same time, breaking news was broadcast on TV.

-Forests in the western part of Jeju Island were completely destroyed. Even the nearby green tea fields were burned…

news that will enrage ‘someone’.
