Shincon’s One Coin Clear

Episode 129. Truth (9)

Judging from Hyeon-hye’s reaction, it seemed like she was making a fuss in reality as if a bomb had fallen.

The complete opposite of the in-game play situation.

‘I don’t know if I should call this a game now.’

Anyway, there was no setback in the dimensional labyrinth.

Dantalian, who threw a bomb named ‘Truth’ on the earth while chatting about it for a long time, soon disappeared, and Ran and Taeyang exited the headquarters building of the game Dantalian manufacturer and sat there blankly killing time.

Time passed insipidly, and when the remaining time on the stage reached 0 seconds, the artificial earth that Gremory had created shattered with a clanging sound.

Patter.

[I am impressed with his ability to read the game and move towards the optimal result. Player Taeyang Yoon is overwhelmingly faster than other players in adapting to the stage, and based on that, he creates a witty clear route. The way he proudly dismantles the twisted clear route and collects the most achievement rewards. It’s been a long time since I’ve been a stage assembler.]

[Acquisition: Gremory Certified S-Grade.]

[Additional reward: 100 gold.]

Two system windows popped up at the same time.

The achievement window for clearing stage 7-3 and the Demon King’s review window for clearing Gremory’s floor.

The first thing that came into the achievement window was the number of achievements obtained after clearing the stage.

only 8 pieces.

It is a number that only a few rankers can get, but compared to Taeyang’s recent moves, it was honestly a disappointing number.

The next thing that caught the eye of the sun was the name of an achievement.

Excerpts from the truth of the dimensional labyrinth.

It was probably an achievement obtained while meeting Dantalian at the headquarters of the production company, which was recommended by FBI agent John.

It was two letters that touched the heart of the sun.

extract.

what is an excerpt

According to the dictionary definition:

Extract only necessary or important parts from the text.

or something like that.

It is not the ‘everything’ of the truth.

only some were pulled out.

that’s an excerpt

As Dantalian said, the truth surrounding the dimensional labyrinth and the earth has not yet been revealed.

I wonder if Hyun-hye was also looking at the same letter.

He muttered in a low voice, not his usual lively voice.

-… … How many more things to find out.

The sun clasped its hands and wrapped itself around the back of his head.

“well. Will I be able to handle it once I find out?”

climb the labyrinth

In the process, Byullim is saved and Jongnae clears the labyrinth.

and.

‘log out.’

Taeyang realized that he hadn’t asked a very important question.

No, to be precise, it was a question that was asked but not answered.

Can you log out once you reach the top of the dimensional labyrinth?

Dantalian did an ‘advertisement’ to the humans of Earth, saying that if they reached the end of the dimensional labyrinth, they could of course return to Earth.

But, of course, nothing is guaranteed.

Dantalian was a cunning Demon Lord.

Right now, there was no way the earth could believe the words of the demon king, which is not another living being in a world where false advertisements on TV and the Internet are prevalent.

Are they really at the top?

Of course, the sun knew too.

At this point, there was no other choice but to climb the labyrinth.

Kwadeuk.

The sun’s fist was tightly clenched.

The power that the sun accumulated in the dimensional labyrinth was great.

Ballack lowered his weight class.

A careless Dantalian.

To the extent that he reached the transcendent demon king twice, who created the plate called the dimensional labyrinth.

At this moment, Taeyang secretly set another goal.

If you reach the top of the dimensional labyrinth and check it, there is no clue to solve all the problems.

‘Even if I kill the demon king and defeat him, I will find out.’

The Demon King was a powerful being.

In the long history of the dimensional labyrinth, even Taeyang, who is praised for having the highest pace ever, treats him like a toy.

But it wasn’t something out of reach.

Right now, it looked as high as the sky and as hard as the earth, but it was a being that bleeds when stabbed.

Whatever the method, the fact that the fist of the sun touched the demon king was the proof.

While Taeyang looked at the system window and made a secret promise, a skinny woman approached.

It was the 56th rank Demon Lord Gremory.

she asked, running through her burning red hair.

“How was it?”

Gremory looked at the sun and asked, but the sun did not answer.

Rather, Ran answered.

“That stage was set in the solar dimension, right?”

“Yes. Just like you did.”

“And how the dimensional labyrinth came to Earth, is it true that it showed the history?”

Gremory nodded.

“ha.”

Ran sighed.

“Would Changchun be like this?”

“Similar. If you go to the integrated shelter, there will be players who know the secret of the blue sky. Let’s ask him. I can’t tell you directly. It’s against the rules.”

Gremory wrinkled his nose in pity.

After that, silence hung over the space where the four players and a demon king existed.

The reason for the silence was different for each.

the promising sun.

shocked column.

Confused Messiah and Salomon who have no reaction.

Messiah was able to follow the situation because he received information through broadcasting, but Salomon, who knew nothing, was just waiting calmly.

Gremory looked at Salomon with a pitying face.

“Perhaps this stage was too unfamiliar to you.”

Salomon was almost excluded from the process of approaching the truth of this stage.

In the first place, this stage was to teach Taeyang the truth.

But even without that reason, it was a different world story for Salomon.

In the world of Salomon, there was no dimensional labyrinth gate in the first place.

Perhaps that is also true, wasn’t his world itself a dimensional labyrinth that functions as a stage?

In other words, the environment of Salomon’s world was different from Eden’s Changchun Earth.

“I wanted to prepare a stage for you, player Salomon, but it was bound by the rules of the labyrinth and could not be separated into other stages.”

Labyrinth rules.

We were talking about the party system.

If players from the same clan enter at the same time, they will be assigned to the same stage unless the stage’s entry limit is exceeded.

“… … I am not stupid either.”

To put it bluntly, Salomon was the one who figured out the secret of the stage and thought of climbing the labyrinth.

Looking at Salomon like that, Gremory smiled sadly.

“yes. That’s why it’s even more pitiful.”

Because that’s not all.

The sun murmured coldly.

“It’s meaningless if I can’t tell you here anyway.”

“… … is it so.”

“let’s go.”

Taeyang was the first to leave the stage and enter the integrated shelter.

Messiah followed in, followed by Ran.

Salomon hesitated for a moment before asking.

“Now those words… … That is a pity.”

“yes.”

“Can you find out someday?”

“… … Everything is prepared at the top of the labyrinth.”

“Whoa.”

click.

Salomon smoked a cigarette and went into the integrated shelter.

Then Dantalian appeared.

“You have a complicated face. Gremory.”

“Oh Dantalian. Are you okay?”

Dantalian smiled bitterly and waved his arms.

Steam billowed from his arms.

The scars of resistance received at the level of the soul, not the body.

It was a reward for wielding power in an uninvited dimension.

“It will be fine. as time goes by.”

“I thought you played hero in the early evening.”

“I had to match the rhythm of the committee, so I couldn’t help it.”

Dantalian slipped his arm into his pocket.

Gremory asked Dantalian.

“Will another player from the same stage as Salomon come up?”

“It’s Salomon.”

“A player from the stage dimension of Cimmeries.”

Dantalian pondered for a moment before answering.

“Cimmeries is not the type of demon king who repeats the same mistake.”

“I guess so, right?”

Should I have prepared a stage for Salomon, not Taeyang?

Gremory brushed up her red hair.

“… … I’m honestly curious. Why are you so obsessed with telling the truth?”

Gremory turned to Dantalian.

Dantalian shrugged with a sly expression.

“To match your sensibilities, I think the dimensional labyrinth is like a play within a play.”

“A play within a play?”

“Originally, the goal is different, but the players are running around in a ridiculously well-packaged board by the demon king. I hate that kind of thing. I want to see a play in which the main character defeats a monster himself, not a play in which the main character defeats a monster.”

“I don’t know what the difference is between the two. What’s the difference? As long as it’s fun…”

“Actually, you’re not doing it for fun, is it? Phew. Let’s just say I’m not immersed.”

As if Gremory’s answer wasn’t quite satisfactory, Dantalian pursed his lips slightly.

“You put a lot of effort into things that aren’t even fun.”

“under. That’s it. Oh, I ask in a different way this time. Are you okay?”

“… … .”

“How much fun you are doing is getting stabbed by your dog?”

“… … .”

“Is it hot? Did you lose your temper for a moment?”

Dantalian dismissed the cynical Gremory’s sarcasm with a laugh, saying ‘haha’.

“Is it funny? I think they might be, but not you? Stop acting like you don’t like it. Because it’s disgusting.”

Dantalian’s face hardened.

Gremory left a sneer and disappeared somewhere with his voluminous hair flying.

after she’s gone

Dantalian caressed my cheek with his hand.

It was the exact spot hit by the sun.

Why did I lose my reason for a moment?

‘I thought it was dangerous at least for that moment.’

A dizziness as if an awl was aiming at the heart.

The transcendent demon king felt threatened.

How long have you felt this feeling?

“… … you should think good A talented person like this will fight for me.”

***

“Hey, what should I do with this?”

clack clack.

Hyunhye looked at the monitor and muttered.

On the monitor, instead of the usual in-game situation of Taeyang, there was just a site floating on it.

It’s a news site.

A site where you can view articles from various newspapers that mainly deal with game-related content.

It can be seen as a subscription window created by subscribing to only site magazines that Hyeon-hye trusts in her own way.

Hyeon-hye was reading several Internet articles, including Game World Journalism, the most authoritative newspaper in the game-related field.

“… … It’s all the same, so I think I can only look at one, but that’s it.”

– FBI Official Announcement Yoon Tae-tae, the hope of mankind.

-The man who took the lives of 300 million people.

-The truth about the Dantalian incident.

– Reaching the singularity of the world. A completely different world will begin.

Dantalian. And it was a story about Yoon Taeyang.

Maybe he was trying to bury the truth of the Dantalian incident with a hero named Yoon Taeyang? Even while the articles were pouring like crazy, more and more articles with Taeyang’s name stood out.

At least Hyun-hye’s subscription newspaper, which only selected newspapers that did not falter in Jirashi and took center stage, was at this level, so it was impossible to guess how many rumors were being mass-produced.

“Can you handle this?”

John didn’t lie.

In these numerous articles, Taeyang became a hero.

Click.

“Huh, this is a bit.”

Since the number of people saved by the sun is greater than the number of Jewish people in the Old Testament, there was even talk of whether the sun was a greater person than Jesus.

Even as an article published by a newspaper, not SNS.

Hyunhye tapped the mouse.

As it has always been, it will take care of itself, but knowing that doesn’t mean it doesn’t worry.

“By the way, there were a lot of chatting. It must hurt your eyes.”

Couldn’t complain.

I don’t know what kind of golden idea there might be.
