Insanely-Talented Player

Episode 126

Two vampires were facing each other under the pale, cold moonlight.

“You really don’t regret it?”

“What do I have to regret?”

The vampire asked and the vampire answered.

“Do you really think I accepted my blood relative’s offer out of consideration for my child’s identity or the purity of my bloodline?”

“Then why did you volunteer to be reborn as a vampire?”

the king of heroes asked, and the saint answered.

“I just wanted to prove that Yoosung is not a monster.”

“...Did you accept their offer just for that reason?”

Yoosung asked and Maria answered.

“is it so.”

Maria wrapped her arms behind Yooseong as if pulling him by the back of his neck.

“It’s not like a saint.”

“You speak as if there are certain ‘behaviors that a saint should do.’”

Maria mocked herself, burying her face in Yoosung’s shoulder. Her breath faintly curled along the nape of his neck.

“Didn’t I tell you? From the beginning, I was not a saint or anything. “People and ‘my lord’ just called me that as they pleased.”

Her monarch. Yooseong was agitated for a moment, but did not ask any further questions.

“Hmm then what should I call you from now on?”

“Oh my god, are you going to make me say that?”

Maria smiled meaningfully behind her back. He buried his head in the back of Yoosung's neck and wrapped his arms around Yoosung's chest behind his back.

“...Maria.”

Yoosung gently lifted his hand and held the hand of Maria, who was hugging his chest.

He turned his head and looked straight into the face of Maria, who was burying her head in the crook of his neck.

Yoosung's five fingers overlapped Maria's five fingers as if clasped together, and their bodies and lips overlapped.

The moonlight was very gloomy.

Season 1 “The End of Peace”.

Ten heroes, including the saint and the sword lord, were the first to protect the world, and when they realized that the fight was only just beginning, the real hell began.

And the following year, during the second season of “King of Heroes,” a monarch stretched out his hand toward a shooting star.

That being was a being so special and powerful that even one could not imagine a monarch, and had power beyond the standard.

[The Clown Lord calls ‘Kang Yoo-seong’!]

And when he extended his hand, there was no reason to refuse.

[???Tier Jester Moves to the lord's tower...]

When signing a contract with a lord, the player had to enter their tower and perform ‘a test given by the lord.' Yoosung also knew that fact.

It was a world made up of mirrors everywhere. The image of a shooting star was reflected in a mirror here and there, but the image of the shooting star reflected in the mirror was not the same.

They may be armed with heavy black armor, wearing a jet black coat, holding a sword, or wearing a suit. Player Kang Yoo-seong, armed with countless player equipment, was there.

It was right then.

Clink!

Mirrors in the area shattered, and the scenery inside the tower was engulfed in pitch black darkness.

.........

And then a man appeared in front of Yoosung.

《The Clown Who Doesn't Smile》... It was a man wearing a clown mask.

“Ah, are you next after me?”

The man behind the mask asked helplessly. Yoosung, who was extremely immature at that time, asked back.

“What’s next?”

“Yes, the hero who will protect the world after me.”

“Who are you?”

“Oh, that’s none of your business. So you want to be a hero?”

A brief silence fell. But the silence did not last long.

“okay.”

Yoosung answered, and mockery flowed from inside the clown mask.

“I am so tired. “I’m so sick of this shit that I think I’m going crazy.”

“What do you mean?”

“Protecting the world.”

“Okay then, that’s a good thing.”

Yoosung answered calmly, and the man in the Pierrot mask sneered again.

“Oh, come to think of it…

the man continued with a sneer.

“Did I tell you about the definition of insanity?”

“Definition of insanity?”

“okay. Oh, by the way, those aren’t my words, they’re famous lines from the villain of Parque 3.”

The man in the clown mask chuckled and opened his mouth. It's literally like talking gibberish.

“Insanity is doing the exact same thing over and over again without end. I believe that the damn thing will change. And when I first heard about it, I didn't know any better and thought I was talking nonsense. So I decided to just put on this mask and become a hero. By the way, this is something that needs to be taken very seriously...

After taking a moment to catch his breath, the man continued.

“That means you were right.”

“What do you mean?”

“After that, wherever you go and wherever you look, you see that. Me and them, and the whole world is doing that shit to no end. No matter where you look, the same thing keeps happening over and over again. I keep repeating to myself that next time it will really be different. Oh, by the way... did I mention the definition of insanity? By the way, these are not my words, but the famous line from the Park O 3 villain...

Tuk.

At that moment, the clown mask fell off. The voice stopped. And the man's face, whose mask had fallen off, had nothing there.

It wasn't even an egg ghost. It simply opens an endless, pitch-black bottomless maw where his face should be.

“...

Yooseong was taken aback, but a system message appeared in front of him.

— A child with a thousand faces and a thousand talents. Do you want to be a hero?

A voice was heard. It was the voice of the transcendent that resounded from the top.

Yoosung glanced at the clown mask that had fallen to the floor. There was a brief silence and then he nodded.

And without any hesitation, he grabbed the clown mask and placed it on his face.

— You will become a hero among heroes. However, you will not be understood by everyone for the rest of your life, and you will be the subject of their laughter and ridicule! Where else can you find such a funny joke

? [The Clown Lord signs a player contract with ‘Kang Yoo-seong’!]

[The title “King of Heroes” has been obtained!]

The sound of laughter rang out. At the top, countless transcendental beings were looking down at the shooting star and smiling.

[The title “Court Jester” has been obtained!]

Afterwards, when Yooseong regained consciousness, he had been reborn as a player.

Not long after that, at the end of that year.

Heroes fell one by one amidst the unprecedented threat of the tower. Among the first heroes, 8 died while conquering the tier 12 tower.

Everyone had no doubt that this was an unwinnable game and that the end of the world was near. Cries for apocalypse broke out in every street, and uncontrollable riots broke out.

The world was burning, not at the hands of the Tower Monster or Tower Break, but at the hands of people.

Until Player Kang Yoo-seong, the King of Heroes, wins the unwinnable game and protects the world.

Just then I woke up from my dream. Consciousness returned.

When I turned my head, I saw Maria asleep with her head buried next to Yoosung.

Without saying a word, I stretched out my arm and pushed her hair past the nape of her neck.

Season 6 《Endless Labyrinth》.

Five seasons have already passed since I first became a player.

And the King of Heroes was repeating the exact same thing five times, truly endlessly.

The same was true for the people of the world.

Like the UN Peace Security Council. No matter how hard Yoosung tried to change them and the world, it didn't change.

It was the same for them too. Even though I knew that I could not bring down the King of Heroes, I was doing the exact same thing over and over again.

‘Oh, by the way... did I mention the definition of insanity?'

‘Insanity is doing the exact same thing over and over again, really endlessly. ‘

‘No matter where you look, it's really the same thing over and over again. ‘

‘I'm so sick of it that I think I'm going crazy.'

The voice of a man wearing a clown mask lingered endlessly in Yoosung’s ears. I felt like I was going to be nauseous.

It was right then.

‘Maria’, a high-ranking vampire and blood relative, stretched out her arms without saying a word.

“Are you awake?”

“Yes/’

Her fingers glided along Yoosung’s cheek. It went from his cheek to his chin to his neck and along his shoulder to his chest.

“Are you curious about the monarch with whom I have a contract?”

Maria asked as she placed her hand on Yoosung’s heart, which was racing.

“Oh, not really.”

Yoosung answered calmly and Maria smiled quietly.

“Yoosung, your face shows when you lie.”

“is it so? Thank you for letting me know. “I’ll pay more attention next time.”

Yoosung casually shrugged his shoulders. At that moment, Maria buried her head towards Yoosung’s neck.

“The monarch with whom I have a contract... buried himself and then whispered softly.

“—— Yes/’

Yoosung’s expression, which was trying hard to keep his composure, finally revealed the agitation that could not be hidden, just as she said. But it was just a moment.

When Maria finished whispering in Yoosung's ear and opened the distance, Yoosung just maintained his composure as usual.

“Why are you telling me that?”

“Well, I don’t know. Just

ask, “In exchange for something, do you want me to be your lord?”

“That can’t be right.”

Maria laughed, saying it was absurd.

“Then make me a promise, Yoosung.”

“What promise?”

“No matter what happens, you will keep the information about the monarch with whom Yoosung signed a contract a secret from me.”

Maria said.

“Even if everyone in the world besides me finds out about it.”

Yoosung was silent.

“I just don’t want to see Yoosung suffer from what he has to carry.”

“What do you think I was carrying?”

“Well, Yoosung, you probably know better/

Maria said and Yoosung smiled bitterly. After laughing, their lips overlapped again.

At the end of the kiss, Yoosung said.

“As expected, you have better physical strength than I thought, probably because you’ve always been wearing heavy armor.”

......

Immediately after Yoosung's words, Maria smiled brightly.

It was a smile filled with the love of a saint, no different from any other time.

It was a short and sweet day that felt like a fleeting daydream.

And when the day was finally over, the two players also returned to their rightful places.

To protect this world and carry out their duties as the king and saint of heroes.

In addition, Yoosung also entered the tower alone.

Top of Tier 12.

[Entering the tower of...]

And as I entered the tier 12 tower alone, I remembered the words the saintess whispered in Yooseong's ear that day.

Saint Mary and the identity of the monarch with whom she has a contract. It wasn't light or anything. However, it wasn't just pure blackness or darkness on the inside.

Therefore, when he heard that name, Yoosung also could not hide his agitation.

‘The monarch with whom I have a contract is...

one of the seven great princes and a being who looks down on the world from the top of the tower and coordinates rules and order.

—He was the lord of the game.
