Damned 13th Regression – 303

by Jessie@AFNCC

After shaking off the dust 『GM』 approached Joo Gong-hyeok.

“Were you really crying?”

“shut up.”

“You’re shy.”

The GM sat next to me.

“First I must express my gratitude to Ms. Hayeonsi.”

As GM stared at the screen countless Joo Gong-hyeoks from the past to the future were lined up in chronological order on the screen.

“If you currently observe yourself A from 1 second later A observes you B from 1 second later and B observes you C from 1 second later then in theory you can observe an infinite amount of time into the future. ”

‘If there is a problem…’ the GM trailed off.

The moment you observe yourself A you can know the future B and at the same time you can know the future C.

This continues endlessly and endlessly.

The moment Joo Gong-hyeok observes A he understands everything about A.

And B also understands what A was watching.

And C also understands what B was looking at.

This flows from D after 4 seconds to E after 5 seconds to F after 6 seconds… to Z in the much distant future.

The moment you observe A you cannot stop your present self from continuously flowing into your future self.

In addition A also recognizes and observes the current Joo Gong-hyeok.

B’s Joo Gong-hyeok also recognizes and observes A and the current Joo Gong-hyeok.

The self flows into the future and at the same time drifts into the past.

That is the “Prison of Judgment” a stopover for ascension.

GM said.

“I am your alter ego and observer born in 『Observer』.”

Beep-

There was a red dot following Joo Gong-hyeok’s ego flowing into the future.

“I continued to chase after your subject somehow but I could never reach you. “If it weren’t for Ms. Hayeonsi’s help.”

The GM turned his head and smiled his signature sharp smile.

“I was lucky this time. “Isn’t that right?”

“…It’s all over.”

Joo Gong-hyeok said darkly.

“If you stay here you’ll just be trapped with me.”

“You gave up sooner than I thought.”

“Both body and mind are destined for destruction. “I couldn’t move into the future.”

“Hmm~”

The GM took off his hat and twirled it on his finger.

“Joo Gong-hyeok. “Do you know that?”

“what?”

“My voice right now is not a system message.”

“….”

The GM looked at Joo Gong-hyeok and grinned showing his white teeth.

“This is my first time seeing you face to face and talking to me as equals.”

Joo Gong-hyeok also heard the GM’s voice for the first time not a system message.

The GM pointed his finger at Joo Gong-hyeok.

“You are not the only one who determines your fate.”

“….”

“I have no intention of letting you perish.”

Rattling-

The GM got up from his seat and climbed the stairs.

“Whether you whine or not. I will save you. “With everyone.”

GM opened the door at the back of the movie theater.

A loud noise rang out and avatars rushed into the movie theater.

“Ouch where am I?”

Jecheon Daeseong who had fallen touched the lump on his head and looked up at the light on the ceiling.

Sijo who looked like a bundle of fur blinked his big eyes.

“This is my first time seeing this place…?”

“commentary. Based on the architectural style and interior it is believed to be a place where some higher intelligence enjoy plays and video productions.”

“Wow it’s an indoor theater with soft silk sofas. “This is the first time I’ve seen it.”

“huh? Euracha—!”

Zeus hit “Casanova Joo Gong-hyuk” who was walking out with the title with his bicep lariat.

“Keck!”

“What are you taking with you?” “You bastard!”

“Casanova Joo Gong-hyuk” collapsed helplessly and Zeus picked up the title.

“’Casanova Joo Gong-hyeok the dictator of the entertainment world! The burning romance that envied everyone and shared love with countless women throughout his life is right here…’ What is this?”

The GM explained to Zeus who was confused after reading the description engraved on the title.

“Ah that’s the thing called movies. “It’s a magic tool that tells a very interesting story when you put it in a projector and run it.”

“Oh you were watching this interesting thing alone?”

Zeus snorted and ran to Joo Gong-hyeok’s side.

“Let’s meet together right away! sibling!”

“Hey man get out of the way.”

Daeseong Jecheon who came late stabbed Zeus with his baton.

“Avatars also have an order of arrival. “I’m trying to get over my senior and sit next to my younger brother.”

“…They make all kinds of noise just because I came in first. “If it wasn’t SSS level it would be amazing.”

“If you ask me even the old man would be at SSS level. “I’m closer to my younger brother?”

Zeus mumbled and left and the long-haired female general sat down next to Joo Gong-hyeok hugging his head with one arm and burying her nose in his hair.

“It feels different because I can touch it like this. “Because they were busy fighting whenever they came out.”

One by one other avatars approached Joo Gong-hyeok.

“I don’t know what the situation is but…”

“Anyway now is the time to sit down and watch a movie together right?”

“Yes.”

The GM nodded loudly.

“It’s just for a little while but let’s enjoy some quality time together.”

That’s it –

As soon as the GM finished speaking the movie theater surrounding Joo Gong-hyeok changed.

The tightly packed seats were transformed into wide sofas and the projector was transformed into a beam projector on the table.

The spacious movie theater became like a home theater in the living room of a home and soft warm lights poured from the ceiling.

“Oh! “It’s awesome!”

“Oh my god it’s so fluffy.”

The guardian spirit pressed the sofa as if curious.

One by one the avatars sat down on the wide sofa with their butts pressed against each other and chatted with each other as they clasped their shoulders like one family.

“This popcorn is salty and delicious.”

“If I give an oracle once in my life it will be very dramatic and epic…”

“Mojadori! “Bring me some more drinks!”

“Just this one time.”

“Ugh….”

“ah! “Asura King you’re drooling again!”

“I will clean it for you.”

The guardian spirit smiled and wiped King Asura’s saliva-covered chin with a handkerchief.

In the middle of the sofa where everyone is happy.

Only Joo Gong-hyeok was sitting gloomily with his entire body tied up.

Rumbling

The living room wall was transformed into a cabinet filled with movie titles.

“Let’s look at this first.”

GM took the title out from the end of the cabinet and put it into the beam projector.

[Title: The Life of Joo Gong-hyeok. GM edited version”]

“From this point on we will enter full-power listening mode.”

“You were cute when you were little.”

“Is that Hayeon City?”

Next the avatars burst into laughter as they watched Joo Gong-hyuk enter the first episode.

“This is so bad you bastard.”

“Isn’t it completely absurd? “How did you become who you are today?”

“Puhahaha—look at me running away! Ahahaha!”

“calculate. “If you dodge the attack just now at 7 o’clock take one step forward and then use your right hand weapon…”

Liang Xian said while clenching his arms.

<Master. How can I become as strong as my teacher?>

<Well. About 100 years?>

“Ahahaha! That’s right! “That woman who thinks she’s a liar is correct!”

Jecheon Daeseong burst into laughter and agreed.

Next in repeated episodes Joo Gong-hyeok saw the beast people being massacred and nuclear missiles and biological and biological weapons being deployed.

La Jehuti quickly covered the guardian spirit’s eyes.

“Hmm that’s a bit cruel scene.”

“Hey guardian spirit. “Don’t look.”

“Give your opinion. Recommend fast forwarding.”

Kim Jin-tae who lost his chest and was dying said.

Kim Jin-tae waved his hand.

<….>

<Please. Gonghyeok Joo. You destroy the barbell.>

‘Save the people…’ Kim Jin-tae’s eyes became blurry.

Edgar who was falling into a trap and dying said:

<….>

Edgar bumped his fist.

<Obviously. I left it to you.>

Hayeonsi said melting.

<Don’t give up because life is only going to be painful.>

Christina spoke amid the bloodshed of the hunters.

<Gonghyuk. Are you not feeling guilty?>

When Joo Gong-hyuk answered something her face was distorted with sadness.

<That’s perfect. My head went crazy because of the pain.>

Christina’s head was crushed.

A miserable corpse fell to the floor.

Joo Gong-hyeok gritted his teeth and shouted something at the corpse.

Tears mixed with drops of blood formed on the tip of my chin.

“….”

The avatars who were laughing and talking became silent.

The cozy living room became quiet.

“My younger brother. “You were very clumsy.”

Jecheon Daeseong stroked Joo Gonghyeok’s bangs as he watched the scene pass by on the screen.

Everyone found out.

There was a man named Joo Gong-hyeok.

He was a man who was clumsy at everything and had no knack for anything.

Still he tried.

I learned that there are some things that cannot be solved through effort.

So he stopped using any means.

People called it madness and stayed away from him.

La Jehuti blushed and pressed her fingers to her eyes.

“Joo Gong-hyeok… you are so clueless.”

Zeus burst out laughing loudly.

“You’re stubborn and clumsy!”

“but….”

The guardian spirit spoke calmly.

“The word ‘intelligible’ originally has the meaning of being truthful and honest.”

“Ah Geo! “You are right!”

Zeus pounded his chest.

“This guy’s heart definitely touched me!”

Joo Gong-hyeok lived an awkward life.

However it is proof that he is honest and sincere.

The body cannot keep up with the correct determination and mind.

However a person who works hard like a fool and devotes his body and mind to doing the right thing makes people around him cheer for him.

“I have one thing to tell you.”

GM opened his mouth.

“Joo Gong-hyeok is on the verge of failing to ascend to heaven. “My body is broken and my mind is trapped here.”

“Beep-situation complete.”

“I had an instinctive feeling that it was that kind of power.”

“indeed….”

Jecheon Daeseong smiled meaningfully.

“So you brought me here without the angel girl?”

“Doesn’t Nathaniel have a bright future? “I need to stay organized so I don’t feel lonely.”

GM continued.

“anyway. Now that this has happened we must all help ease his burden.”

“Ah I thought it might end up like this.”

“Then shouldn’t you have told me earlier? “Mr. Lightning God.”

The guardian spirit spoke calmly.

“If Gonghyuk disappears like this everyone will return to Babel.”

“There is a possibility of some extinction in the aftermath of the 92% probability of ascension.”

“Kyaaaa~~~.”

Zeus patted the back of his head and stretched.

“Don’t say such rude things. Let’s be honest. Hey Joo Gong-hyeok!”

Joo Gong-hyuk raised his head.

Zeus pointed confidently at himself with his thumb.

“I just decided. “I could die for you now.”

Zeus quickly got up from his seat and passed by stroking Joo Gong-hyeok’s head once.

“Brother don’t be downcast like a puppy that got scolded for pooping. “Otherwise I feel like a fool doing this for you.”

After saying that Zeus went to the bookshelf and picked up a bunch of titles.

“This big this big!”

The title of the armoire disappeared as much as Zeus held it.

Joo Gong-hyuk was speechless.

I can’t ask them to sacrifice themselves.

‘Unrivaled colleagues who are with you.’

I have no conscience to say this.

Joo Gong-hyeok viewed the avatars only as tools and used them.

Although they did not appear on the screen he killed them to raise their abilities and made them as sacrifices for the progenitor.

It was such a shame to yell at them to sacrifice themselves for him.

“I want you….”

Daeseong Jecheon tightened his arms around Joo Gonghyeok’s head.

“I thought of it as a tool. “Do you mean this?”

“….”

“Oh my gosh Gonghyuk you burnt son we are not fools either.”

She grinned.

“What do you think of us? I can read that arrangement. But still. Being able to laugh with you.”

Jecheon Daeseong stabbed Joo Gonghyuk in the chest with his finger.

“Because while I was with you I liked your beliefs and your spirit.”

La Jehuti nodded.

“What judges you is your life and actions. “Although you have some shortcomings everyone thinks highly of you who only focuses on your goal without looking elsewhere.”

After speaking La Jehuti stood up.

“I guess I’ll just leave this body.”

The muscular Ra Jehuti picked up the entire cabinet by Zeus’s side and put it away.

“I will take on this much.”

“Then I am like this!”

“Then I’ll take on your double.”

“I’m double double!”

“A low-ranking nobleman don’t overdo it.”

“Is it just an old man who can’t even stand up?”

The titles that would soon become the universe disappeared in a heap in the arms of the two gods.

“Value judgment complete.”

A sleek mechanical human with a platinum-colored body stood up from the sofa.

“The result of analyzing the current situation from various perspectives. It is believed that actions for the individual Joo Gong-hyeok will produce better value in various dimensions including adoption kishin human beastman and other dimensions. Therefore this entity Vulcan will begin a special self-destructive action from this point on.”

Vulcan approached the decoration cabinet and the guardian spirit smiled.

“Joo Gong-hyeok. “I consider you a friend.”

“….”

“Do you also consider me a friend?”

Joo Gong-hyeok hesitated.

What he did in the past may not be forgivable.

But even so Joo Gong-hyuk nodded his head with difficulty.

The guardian spirit smiled warmly as if he understood everything.

“Then let’s go first. “Friend.”

Joo Gong-hyeok was silent.

At some point Joo Gong-hyeok regarded them as tools.

But once.

When I first met them.

Even when times are tough you are always by my side laughing crying and talking.

He came to me when he was having a hard time and always comforted him.

They were precious comrades in arms who could not be replaced by anything.

King Asura stood up.

“Uuuh….”

“King Asura….”

“Ugh….”

“…thanks.”

King Asura followed the guardian spirit.

A black cotton ball sijo floated and approached.

“Hey… can I talk to you?”

Joo Gong-hyeok nodded slightly.

“Joo Gong-hyeok. “You are my benefactor.”

Sijo said hesitantly as if it was awkward.

“Thanks to you I succeeded in getting revenge that I never dreamed of and I also have something to say to my friends Robona Victor later. Thank you so much. And and…”

Sijo wiggled his tentacles turned his pupils awkwardly and then closed his eyes tightly as if he were embarrassed.

“We’re friends right?”

“…okay.”

Joo Gong-hyeok grabbed the founder’s tentacle which was wiggling like a bundle of fur.

“We are friends.”

“…!!”

Sijo trembled and ran away without saying a word.

“Ehehe then I’ll go too. “See you later.”

Zeus and Ra Jehuti went out of the living room arguing with each other and then the avatars went out one by one taking the countless titles from the closet.

Every time the avatars took out the title from the closet the chains tied to Joo Gong-hyeok’s body disappeared.

“Little brother!”

Finally Jecheon Daeseong grabbed Joo Gonghyeok’s hand and dragged him.

“let’s go! out-!”

Pudduk-

The last chain was broken and Joo Gong-hyeok was captured and dragged away by Jecheon Daeseong.

It seems like a lie.

Just a moment ago I was clearly caught up in despair unable to do anything.

I can’t believe my body is this light.

I can’t tell if it’s a dream or reality.

‘With the help of Yeonsi and everyone.’

I was able to go outside.

I was able to escape this subjective prison.

I crossed the large living room and reached the door.

Now take one step.

If you open the door and take one step you can escape this subjective prison and go outside.

thud!

However Joo Gong-hyeok strongly held on to Je Cheon Dae-seong as he turned the door handle leading out.

“What are you doing little brother?”

“…GM.”

Joo Gong-hyuk asked her.

“Why is the GM there and not leaving?”

I looked back.

The GM was sitting alone on the sofa where everyone was sitting just moments ago.

Jecheon Daeseong smiled bitterly.

“He decided to stay here.”

Joo Gong-hyeok looked back at the GM.

The GM sat down on the sofa and quietly took off his hat and waved it without looking at him.

“Let’s go out….”

“….”

Joo Gong-hyeok was led out of the prison by the hand of Jecheon Daeseong.

A cozy living room with soft lighting and everyone chatting.

After saying goodbye the GM put on the hat he had taken off.

“Adios amigo.”

‘My hero. I hope you end up with no regrets.’

The GM who was left alone quietly monologued.

* * *

“Joo Gong-hyeok! Come to your senses Joo Gong-hyeok!”

Nathaniel grabbed Joo Gong-hyeok’s shoulder and shook him.

“As expected it was impossible! I shouldn’t have used it now! “I had to stop him somehow!”

She trembled and looked around.

“What are you all doing? Somehow…”

Nathaniel looked around and realized.

Everyone is out of focus except themselves.

As if my consciousness had been blown somewhere.

“Everyone… what the hell!”

Daeseong Jecheon lowered his head and raised his hand to cover Nathaniel’s mouth.

“Be quiet. “It’s coming.”

“…?”

What do you mean by coming?

“It’s coming.”

Everyone murmured in unison around the puzzled Nathaniel.

It’s coming… It’s coming… It’s coming. It’s coming. It’s coming. It’s coming. It’s coming it’s coming it’s coming it’s coming ─────!!

Nathaniel opened his eyes wide.

Jecheon Daeseong’s reddish-brown hair was turning blue-white.

“It’s coming ─────!!”

“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”

Jecheon Daeseong raised his head and the avatars roared in unison.

Phew!

Jecheon Daeseong’s hair burned blue-white.

Blue-white flames erupted from the avatars’ entire bodies creating explosive energy.

The Longinus embedded in Joo Gong-hyeok’s chest split apart with a flash of light.

[「mode: ASCENSION」「Ascension(■■)」change.]

[「mode: MASS ASCENSION」「Group Ascension (■■)」 begins.]

Damn it!

Longinus split into eight pieces was pierced into the avatars’ chests.

The fierce flame of ascension engulfed the avatars.

“This is ascension….”

Jecheon Daeseong muttered amidst the blazing flames.

A red stigmata was drawn on my chest and I was filled with joy at the feeling of omnipotence as my soul and body rose to an unprecedented peak.

“Ascension is the best…!!”

From the blue-white flame of ascension everyone including Jecheon Daeseong walked out of the flame with a terrifying eye glow.
