Insanely-Talented Player

Episode 122

In a way, when the 077 Special Lease appeared in reality, it was the above important matter.

The reason the pure white witch was there was not because this world was under the ‘tower’s influence’ or anything. It was just there. And

the Witch Lord had once hoped that Saint Illishia would protect the child from the beings of the tower.

To the Lord of Nightmares, one of the seven great princes, this Walpurgis Witch is truly the ‘nightmare of nightmares.’

No matter how much Illisia holds power as the Witch Lord, she will not be able to stand against both the Great Empress and her subordinate monarchs.

Therefore, he asked the King of Heroes for help, and the rules of the tower allowed it.

The boundaries of the world, which should have been clearly divided, were being gradually but steadily broken down.

The top floor of the UN building where the Hero King's guild and the Circus, an international organization directly under the UN, are located.

The Red Chicken Chef and the players under the Saint's command were all defeated, and Yoo Seong and the two members of the Saint's National Intelligence Service were left behind.

“Hmm, looking at it this way, don’t you look a bit like me and the saint?”

“............yes?”

Yooseong spoke and Saint Ilsun did not understand what he meant and asked back.

“Hey, looking at it like this, it looks like a bungeoppang.

right?”

There was a brief silence, and at the end of the silence, the saintess's face turned bright red.

“What do you mean they all look alike?!”

“So, are you going to introduce me by saying, ‘Aha, I entered the top and somehow got lucky!’?”

“That can’t be possible...

“There are ways to not reveal her existence to the world.”

Isia spoke coldly, and for an instant, the little witch's expression froze. Master Park answered in bewilderment.

“Hey girl. Why are you needlessly scaring the child? And even if we could hide it, we wouldn’t be able to fool Mistress.”

“I guess so. Well, anyway...

After receiving those words, Yoosung looked at the young witch.

“I didn’t ask your name.”

“Name...

The pure white witch was speechless for a moment at Yoosung’s words.

“I don’t remember the name.”

And then he shook his head. Her expression darkened a little, and the saint soon smiled and spoke.

“There’s nothing to worry about, you can think about it slowly.”

“ Q ”

Hmm.

The witch also smiled shyly in response to that smile. At Walpurgis Tower, the saint also protected the worst witch until the end. I will never forget that.

“Then what should we call our princess until then?”

“My Name...?”

The pure white witch was embarrassed for a moment and hesitated, and Yoosung answered.

“Hmm, since it’s the Witch of Walpurgis, how about abbreviating it as Wal Pu? How are you? Balpu. Do you like them?”

U 99

......

“Do you want to get hit?”

“Then come up with an idea and say it;

“Okay.”

Maria shot back, saying it was absurd, and then continued speaking.

“Lily.”

“Lily...?”

“Yes, it’s the name of a flower. Do you like them?”

Lily muttered a few words and smiled brightly.

“Yes, I like it very much.”

“Wow, that’s a really girlish name. How pure and noble does one have to be to be given a name like this? “You’ve probably never even seen alcohol or cigarettes in your life, right?”

At one point, Maria unconsciously moved her arm toward the sleeve of her suit, but stopped quickly when she saw ‘Lily' in front of her.

“...what's the matter?”

Lily tilted her head at that and Yoosung responded.

“Oh, the saintess, the candy is a bit hard.”

“candy?”

“It’s a candy that contains the bitterness of the world.”

Yooseong answered and Saint Mary smiled brightly.

It was the most benevolent smile in the world.

A while later, there was an indoor smoking room in the office building.

“Hu...

A breath containing the bitterness of the world flowed out.

“What are you looking at?”

“Uh, it’s nothing.”

Yoosung remained silent as he looked at the embers burning at the end of his cigarette.

“So what are you going to do?”

After silence, Maria asked again. The sight of him dressed neatly in a suit with a cigarette between his fingers seemed very foreign.

“How can you do it?”

“I mean Lily.”

un......

Yoosung closed his mouth for a moment and Maria answered.

“Do you really want to have your child as ours?”

“Puh hop! “Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”

Then Yoosung, who probably wasn't drinking anything, started coughing urgently as if something was stuck in his throat.

“...Are you serious?”

“Then you were joking?”

“I am twenty-three years old this year. When the first season started, I was a high school student and didn't have any contact with the saint. Even though Lily is a little girl, I don’t think she looks like one.”

“...What do you mean you don’t look like a kid like that?”

“No, if we assume that they started dating at least when I became a player in the second season, then Lily’s biological age is…” “Whoosh whoosh whoosh

!”

Now, Maria dropped the cigarette from her mouth and cleared her throat.

“What on earth are you thinking about?’”

“No, the saint said we should talk seriously.”

“I was thinking of adopting a child who lost his parents in the tower disaster and had nowhere to go! Ooh, not the child between us.....

“Ah.”

“ah'?”

At those words, Yoosung made a short ‘ah' sound and closed his mouth.

There was silence between the two people. It was truly the most awkward silence in the world.

“Saint.”

“why?”

After a moment of silence, Yoosung opened his mouth.

“Do you know about the qualifications that are essential to adopt a child?”

“I know that. “Do you think I’m a fool?”

“She looks like a saint.”

The saint answered, and Yoosung continued.

“Then you can roughly imagine how the world will be turned upside down, right?”

“I know.”

The saint shrugged her shoulders and continued speaking.

“And I am also prepared for the fact that Mr. Yoosung will pour oil on it.”

“No, I don’t really want to pour oil on it.”

“Well, I guess that’s something you should be prepared for. “Isn’t that Kang Yoo-seong, the king player of our heroes?”

However, the saintess smiled regardless. As always, Yoosung had a very benevolent smile, so it was Yooseong who was more embarrassed.

“Are you really going to make such an easy decision just because of Lily?”

“Oh my, do I look like the type of person who would easily make the ‘decision of a lifetime’ just because of Lily’s job?”

Conversely, Saint Mary asked back. With an uncharacteristically mischievous smile. That's why Yooseong remained silent.

An old incident suddenly came to mind.

In the second season, while everyone was in despair, a new player was running like a comet, targeting the top.

He was not yet the pinnacle of a player, not yet the king of heroes, not even a hero.

However, he, who was getting closer to becoming a hero faster than anyone else, encountered foreign players in the tower.

That was my first encounter with Saint Mary.

“Everyone was immature in those days.”

That's why the saint smiled bitterly and said.

Even for the heroes of the world, it was not uncommon for the party led by them to be wiped out and cause a tower break. As Saint Mary said, everyone was immature in those days.

“But Yoosung never tolerated ‘his own immaturity.’”

Nevertheless, ‘Player Kang Yoo-seong’ at the time was not like that.

A player who cannot yet become a king of heroes or a hero.

“I didn’t even cry when the tower break occurred when we failed to clear the tower and the players with me died. No matter how painful that fact is/'

the saint smiled bitterly.

“I had already witnessed the deaths of countless colleagues and players. I didn’t think it was anything new. At least all the players who were able to reach tier 6 or higher at the time were accustomed to death and despair.”

I couldn't help it. This game is so harsh and unreasonable that no one can conquer it without dying. Even if the attack fails, it is inevitable.

Everyone thought so.

“But Yoosung was different. That made me cry like a child. “Is this the first time in your life you’ve seen someone crying like that?”

“Suddenly, I’m craving a cigarette too.”

Except for one player.

“I remember the weakness you showed in front of me/

“Well, back then, I was a bit out of my league.”

“That wasn’t a sign of weakness on your part.”

Maria said.

“On the contrary, it was a weakness that could be shown because it was so strong.”

un......

Yooseong blurted out his words as if he was embarrassed.

“We despaired when most of the players, including me, were unable to protect our colleagues and people. At the same time, I cursed this cruel and absurd game and accepted it as something that could not be helped.”

“Yuseong wasn’t like that. “He believed he could save everyone and sacrifice no one.”

That player was different.

“That’s why Yoosung didn’t accept anything in this game as ‘inevitable.’ “No matter how small or insignificant the failure is.”

I believed that this game was harsh but at the same time not unreasonable. There is always a clear answer to this game, and not being able to find the answer is entirely due to your inexperience as a player. I thought so.

This is a game.

And for him, the game was always about winning.

Therefore, every time he failed, lost a comrade, and every time people fell victim to Tower Break, the player placed all the blame on himself.

Because we didn't win the game we should have won. Because I couldn't win a game I could have won. That was it.

That was it, really.

“He was like the ‘King of Players.’”

.King?”

Yooseong was dumbfounded and asked back.

“It is my responsibility. I killed him. Any failure that occurred in this tower is my responsibility. Even if flowers fall, floods come, or lightning strikes, it is all my responsibility. That's the king! But who are you to say that it is not my responsibility? I killed him! I killed them all! How about you find out?”

Maria said exaggeratedly and laughed. This was something Yoosung also knew.

“It’s a line from ‘Deep-Rooted Tree’.”

“Yes, that’s a famous line from a certain king in a drama/’

“Wow, I never knew you were so maniacally interested in our country’s dramas.”

“oh. “Is there a law that says I can’t like K-pop or dramas?”

Saint Mary smiled silently.

And now, in the 6th season, that player has already become the ‘peak player’ and the king of heroes. As Saint Mary said.

“I sincerely hope to be with you now.”

After silence, Maria spoke.

It was so unexpected and sudden, but Yoosung accepted her wishes and smiled bitterly.

I laughed and then answered.

“That’s what I wanted to say.”

And after some time.

A piece of news that could have turned the world upside down began to spread across the media.
