 [Chapter 224]

[Precious (3)]

Twelve Seat <Star-Counting Witch> Song Yun-seo.

Since becoming a Twelve Seat, she had to live overwhelmed by all sorts of work.

It was so bad that she deeply missed her life traveling the country before becoming a Twelve Seat.

"...If I had known it would be like this, I should have resisted more and delayed becoming a Twelve Seat. It would have been good if I became a Twelve Seat even after Baek-yeon became the Fairy..."

Although she said that.

Song Yun-seo's work processing ability was quite excellent.

<Index > Yoon Seong-jin even clicked his tongue and praised her for the report she uploaded to the library.

"Why didn't she come out to the world with such skills? This naughty..."

<Index >'s position was that talent should be dedicated for the country.

His entire life was like that.

So he didn't like Song Yun-seo's life.

It's said he was actually envious.

"Sigh... I've almost finished today's work too."

Song Yun-seo didn't care.

She didn't particularly fear anyone in the Mana Management Organization.

Since she knew her fate, there was nothing to fear.

Then one day, during her break, she noticed the world changing.

Noh Eun-ah

A single name someone muttered suddenly changed the world.

No, rather than changing, it would be more accurate to say it returned the world to its original state.

"...Why was I forgetting this? Who cast a forgetting spell on the world's will to make us forget?"

Song Yun-seo frowned.

Her pride was hurt that she hadn't noticed it herself.

But it couldn't be helped.

No one could go against a phenomenon the world's will was involved in.

It was amazing that someone had gone against it.

She vaguely guessed who the existence that went against the world's will was.

"Noh Eun-ha, it must be him."

Lord Noh Eun-ha.

As far as she knew, there was no one else with the power to go against fate.

He must have done something.

He went against fate again.

Song Yun-seo stood up from her seat.

"Since it's night now, it will be easier to see the stars."

Song Yun-seo came out to the balcony.

The sky was turning navy blue.

She used her gift to look at the stars above that sky.

She found the brightest star among them.

"..."

Noh Eun-ha's star.

The only star whose future she couldn't see somehow allowed her to see the future that day.

Noh Eun-ha's life until now became cause and effect, culminating in one result.

No, he no longer had the power to go against fate.

Song Yun-seo was shocked.

What shocked her even more was─

─Where is... that place?

In the future Song Yun-seo saw, Noh Eun-ha was fighting in a world she didn't know at all.

The surroundings were pitch black.

She confirmed the ground Noh Eun-ha and clan members were stepping on was pitch black, and could tell where that place was.

It's a black dungeon that only eight exist in the world.

Why is he there?

When is this future?

Song Yun-seo wondered.

But her questions flew away seeing the scene that followed.

...Impossible.

It can't be defeated.

Just seeing its form briefly.

She sensed the strength of the monster that seemed to be the black dungeon's boss.

A monster surrounded by black mana to the extent its form couldn't be discerned.

The monster's eyes were extremely red.

Song Yun-seo felt fear just briefly glimpsing part of its eyes.

That thing was fear itself.

"How can that be defeated..."

Noh Eun-ha was facing such an existence without retreating an inch.

That's how the future ended.

She couldn't know whether Noh Eun-ha ultimately defeated it or not.

But Song Yun-seo thought defeating it was close to impossible.

☆

"Huh?"

The change made by the name Noh Eun-ah.

People who had forgotten about her gradually began to recall her.

"Why was I forgetting?"

To the point it was ridiculous they had forgotten.

Noh Eun-ah occupied a very important part in their memories.

People were happy recalling something precious, and also sad.

"This was meant to be given to Eun-ah. How foolish of me to forget..."

Han Chang-jin hurriedly looked for the ring box.

Confirming the untouched sparkling rings, he immediately contorted his face.

"It was Eun-ah. I have to find Eun-ah."

He immediately set out to find Eun-ah.

She didn't answer her phone.

He tried to find evidence of her existence in this world by searching places she might go.

But he couldn't find anything.

People who behaved similarly also had to accept that Noh Eun-ah was no longer in this world.

"That can't be. Eun-ah must be somewhere."

Nevertheless, they didn't give up and didn't despair.

They had experienced despair many times.

This despair is nothing.

As long as they remembered Noh Eun-ah, they would find her somehow.

Surely─

"─I should go to Eun-ha."

Noh Eun-ha would be the same.

Han Chang-jin decided to find Eun-ha.

Noh Eun-ah

☆

Twelve Seat <Valkyrie > Cha Eun-woo.

No, just <Valkyrie > Cha Eun-woo.

She also recalled Noh Eun-ah.

"Why was I doing Twelve Seat work? Twelve Seat wasn't my job but Eun-ah unnie's..."

With Noh Eun-ah's disappearance.

Cha Eun-woo was mostly filling her empty position.

As a result, she who was most swayed by the world's will had to feel a lot of confusion.

"Doesn't this mean someone was playing with my will?"

Cha Eun-woo was very displeased.

She rarely got angry, but she was fuming.

"I do have the plausibility to substitute for Eun-ah unnie, and my gift probably reacted to the world's will too."

Cha Eun-woo figured out the reason she was recently swayed by the world's will.

She and Noh Eun-ah were quite intertwined.

Moreover, the gift <Resonance >.

The power to match wavelengths with others' mana probably made it easier for the world's will to interfere with her.

"Just as my mana can easily harmonize with others' mana, the reverse is possible too. I'll have to be careful about security from now on."

Cha Eun-woo could realize her lacking points.

Of course, that wasn't the important thing.

She also said the same thing as others.

"I have to find Eun-ah unnie."

Noh Eun-ah

The name that started from one person's mouth spread to many people's mouths, making her existence imprint more deeply in this world.

Noh Eun-ah's memories were coming alive.

However, her existence had already returned to mana.

Nevertheless, they didn't give up.

☆

Noh Eun-ae's situation was similar.

"Ah!!"

Her mind kept bothering her.

Noh Eun-ae, who kept going out to the backyard to look at trees that day, suddenly let out a shrill cry.

"Why did I forget our unnie? You fool, idiot! More importantly, where is unnie now!?"

Noh Eun-ae severely blamed herself.

Even the plants' comfort was useless.

She was a failure as a little sister.

She cursed herself over and over and called her family.

"Mom! Is Eun-ah unnie there!?"

[She's not here either. There's been no contact from her for days, what's going on... Eun-ae, do you have any idea?]

Her mother seemed flustered too.

The whole family was like that.

"Oppa will definitely know."

So she tried to call Noh Eun-ha to ask about Noh Eun-ah's whereabouts.

But Noh Eun-ha didn't answer no matter how many times she called.

After finishing calls with all family members, Eun-ae called him one more time.

And finally─

[─Oh, Eun-ae.]

"Oppa! Where did our unnie go!?"

The call connected.

Noh Eun-ae couldn't control her emotions and asked Eun-ha.

☆

Noh Eun-ah

That name keeps shaking the world.

At the same time, the smartphone in Eun-ha's pocket kept vibrating.

Surely many people realized about Eun-ah and were trying to ask about her whereabouts.

However, Eun-ha couldn't answer their calls as he was trying to compose his emotions.

"Are you... feeling better now?" "...Yes."

It was foolish.

Eun-ha had just been kneeling on the ground crying loudly.

After a long while, Eun-ha who had stopped crying stood up staggering.

Precise Memory, who had been quietly looking down at Eun-ha until then, spoke.

Eun-ha answered in a subdued tone mixed with tears.

"Noona... received the price for using <Miracle > then?"

He couldn't understand everything.

But there was one thing he could guess as the cause of Noh Eun-ah's disappearance.

A few months ago, she used <Miracle > to protect him and the players from Baek Seo-jin.

At that time, she definitely made a wish to <Miracle >.

And she received the price after a few months passed.

The annihilation of existence and memory.

Eun-ha clenched his fist tightly.

"I don't know much either, but that's probably it." "Like a fool... If she knew she would disappear, she should have at least said something. If she had, I would have found a way somehow..."

He wasn't unaware of Noh Eun-ah's feelings.

She probably thought there was no way to avoid the price, so she couldn't bring herself to say anything.

And she quietly disappeared not wanting to make them sad.

It was too selfish.

Did you think I'd be comfortable doing that?

She may have quietly prepared for her annihilation without leaving regrets, but at least he absolutely wouldn't.

He doesn't know how depressed he felt during the days he lived forgetting her existence.

He wasn't comfortable at all.

Every time he felt her empty space, it felt like his heart was being torn apart.

Did you think I'd let you go like this?

Eun-ha gritted his teeth.

He will definitely bring Noh Eun-ah back.

He absolutely couldn't give up.

"What will you do now?"

Then Precise Memory carefully spoke up.

Eun-ha looked at her.

Her face was dark.

"That person's existence has already disappeared and become part of the world's will. In a situation where there's no physical body left and the soul can't be called back, there's nothing that can be done."

Bringing Noh Eun-ah back is impossible.

Precise Memory knew this, which is why she had been staying silent until now.

Something impossible even with <Miracle >.

No, it might be possible with <Miracle >.

But there were preconditions.

The holder of <Miracle > had to earnestly wish for Noh Eun-ah's revival with a strong heart, and would have to annihilate in her place.

Even if the preconditions were met, there was a problem.

It was unknown whether the Noh Eun-ah who came back to life that way would be the Noh Eun-ah Eun-ha knew.

There was the case of <King of the Dead> Sindorim.

Nevertheless─

"─Nothing is impossible in this world. It's possible."

"..."

Eun-ha didn't despair.

Once he set the goal of reviving Noh Eun-ah, there was nothing he considered impossible anymore.

Even if everyone else shouted it was impossible, he alone would shout it was possible.

Buzz

The smartphone vibrated.

Eun-ha finally couldn't stand the unceasing vibration.

He took out his smartphone.

Noh Eun-ae's name was displayed.

"Oh, Eun-ae."

[Oppa! Where did our unnie go!?]

An urgent voice.

It seemed Noh Eun-ae had belatedly realized Noh Eun-ah's disappearance too.

Eun-ha calmed her down.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely bring her back."

[Really?]

"Just trust me. So Eun-ae, don't worry and wait."

After a short conversation.

Eun-ha hung up.

Precise Memory quietly waited until Eun-ha finished the call.

"Do you really have a way?"

She asked as if asking for the truth.

Eun-ha nodded.

Then he answered with confidence.

"Black dungeon."

"..."

Black dungeon.

Only eight exist in the whole world.

A dungeon boasting the worst difficulty that has never been conquered until now.

Eun-ha mentioned that dungeon.

"What's in the black dungeon?"

Precise Memory had lived for hundreds of years and was closest to the world's truths.

But even she didn't know anything about black dungeons.

At this point in time.

Only Eun-ha knew.

"We conquer it and make a wish in the black dungeon."

"...A wish?"

Before regression.

It's a fact that became known when the Southern European Union conquered the <Dungeon of the Deep Sea>.

Black dungeons grant the power to fulfill any wish to the person who contributed most to conquering the dungeon.

Black dungeons are the power constituting the world granting the conqueror a miracle more perfect than <Miracle >.

"If it's that method, it should be possible."

Even if that method is impossible.

Eun-ha will find another way.

He will definitely find one.

It was right then.

"─Is that true?"

Han Chang-jin appeared from behind.

Wearing a hood, he asked seriously as if interrogating.

No, other clan members had gathered at the spot by now too.

""""...."""

They were asking with their gazes.

Eun-ha declared again.

"It's true. We can do it. That's what I believe."

Conquer a black dungeon.

A new purpose was born for them.
