Epilogue, new days (5)

Walking through the garden, Kevin asked in a cautious voice.
" Lord. May I ask you a question?"
"Say it."
"Three years ago. The master defeated the demon king, achieving a historic achievement that everyone thought was impossible. People dare not let anyone over the lord's authority. What has been accomplished so far proves the existence of the master, and the annual competitions say that it is not a leap forward. But why are you working so hard? Those who are at the feet of the master also melt into a peaceful era, so why is the master living as fiercely as he did on that day three years ago?"
I knew it as soon as I saw Roman Dmitry.
Intensely burning eyes, sweat-drenched faces, and a form of training that dares not measure the depth.
developed
Roman Dmitry, who he thought existed in the sky even three years ago, was pioneering a new realm through constant training.
It was a situation that Kevin could not understand. It was not that he was ignorant of Roman Dmitry's tendencies, but it was a very peaceful time now.
Even if he did not live so fiercely, the Dmitry Empire would enjoy unfailing power, at least for as long as he lived.
why.
Are you saying that you are continuing a struggle that has never been seen before?
Seeing Kevin asking the truth, Roman Dmitry stopped walking and looked at the garden.
"Like you said, there is no reason to live fiercely anymore. But Kevin. It is not the domain of leaders."
I understand Kevin.
past life.
Those who followed him in the past had the same reaction.
Even though he had already conquered Moorim, he looked at himself as he devoted himself to training every day and asked why.
"People may enjoy peace. Rather than worrying about the safety of this country, it is their role to pray for their future and family peace. However, if the leader is also tainted with peace, one day an unexpected disaster will threaten all of us. Even just a few years ago, could people have predicted the existence of the Demon King? Did you expect me, from the Dmitry family on the outskirts, to become the emperor of the empire? It won't be. Just as our lives have never gone as expected, no one can say for sure what dangers lurk in our future."
Taiping Holy Age.
The presence of a heavenly demon took over Moorim.
With his power growing stronger day by day, people did not dare to attempt a rebellion.
"You must prepare from the moment when the danger does not appear in front of your eyes so that it cannot be shaken. So I am faithful to my role. So that I do not make excuses for not knowing the dangers that will come to the world at any time, so that I can take responsibility for the lives of those who have died at my command. I cannot allow even the slightest bit of anxiety."
In fact, the people had no reason to try to revolt.
Baek Jung-hyuk's dictatorship was an utopia.
The shortcomings of the dictatorship that everyone is worried about, at least under Baek Jung-hyuk's rule, did not cause any major problems.
if you don't break the law.
didn't stop
They respected each person's life and made them live within the framework of common sense.
So the day he died in his previous life.
Moorim was all engulfed in great sorrow, regardless of power.
"I have to live like that. It is not allowed for me to normally settle in with the present life and start an ordinary family."
bottom of life.
From that time when he chose to fight to survive, there was no peace in Chunma's life.
walked ahead again.
Looking at his back, Kevin couldn't say anything.
I saw it now
Roman Dmitry.
The burden borne by the Absolute.

Kevin returned home.
It was ????
As much as an open chest, she was spread out on the bed in an empty space.
" What am I living for?"
years ago.
When he first met Roman Dmitry, Kevin wanted to lead a normal life just like everyone else.
So I risked my life.
To the extent that he cut off his arm while clenching his teeth, the life of commoners seen in the slums was an object of envy.
And now it's all done. Unfortunately, Kevin lost his mind.
Obviously, he wanted the same reality as it is now, but Kevin didn't feel like doing anything.
I didn't know the cause until a few days ago.
But right after meeting Roman Dmitry.
Kevin knew the truth.
'I can't be normal anymore.'
a life full of poverty.
I longed for it every day.
From the time when he finally began to live a human life, his longing for Roman Dmitry turned into a feeling of inferiority towards his competitors.
It was an unusual feeling. If people found happiness in ordinary life, Kevin put the value of existence elsewhere.
It was a peaceful time.
Roman Dmitry was not dangerous, and he only knew how to fight, so he became unnecessary.
so lazy
peaceful days.
Kevin withered.
In a situation where he loses the meaning of his existence, he spends more time alone.
Just now.
I inquired about Chris' current status.
Even after winning the rankings every year, he was horribly defeated by Roman Dmitry.
His goal is to become the best on the continent.
Even though he knew that his opponent was an impossible opponent, Roman Dmitry, he did not waver as he continued to live toward his goal.
' The lord is right. Not everyone can live a normal life. Fortunately, Marie did not miss the time to live a normal life, but the appearance of the two men and women who looked happy is not what I expected.'
squeaky.
got up
The world did not need Dmitry's demon.
What had been the object of faith turned into an object of fear, but Kevin didn't care.
'I will be strong too. If something threatens Dmitry in the distant future, we will have strong powers so that they cannot do anything. That is the meaning of my existence. For the master who gave me a human life, even if it is peaceful until the moment I die, I will accept death with a smile on the fact that I am living for my master.'
The only existence that filled the deficiency.
Roman Dmitry was a god to him and the meaning of life.
Kevin immediately took his sword and went out to the training ground.
Up until now, I've been on my knees against Chris every time, but I'm not going to remain a loser in the future.
* * *
that time.
In a conference room in a luxurious mansion, a series of people had a serious conversation.
"This is already the fourth attempt. In fact, I think it's impossible to convince 'His'."
"This is not a place to talk about the impossible. Tell me the way, the way!"
The atmosphere was grim.
being seated at the top.
Seeing his hardened expression, people looked at them, and each offered a solution.
"Once the opponent has both wealth and fame. In the meantime, I somehow put conditions that ordinary people would covet, but I think we need to approach it differently from now on. How about the beauty world? Bringing in beauties from all over the continent and convincing him to turn things around."
"Is that right? That's good! No matter how equipped you are, the realm of reason is another matter."
"I think differently. He has so far revealed that he has a clear dream. Do you think such a person would be swayed by the beauty world? And above all else, the beauty world itself is not the kind that will work. There are already women around who express love for his looks, and we cannot accept it when we ask for something in return."
"Then how about attacking his master? I heard they are very close."
"Then, if you touch the plant, you can't afford to do the rest."
The atmosphere in the conference room heated up.

He tried to negotiate whenever the opportunity arose, but failed each time due to the firm reaction of the other party.
The problem is that there are no other options. Fortunately, he was a conversational partner, so he could not give up despite repeated failures.
their chief.
It was his will.
Until he said giving up, the people who served him had to somehow find a solution.
said a man
"In fact, if you have rejected all of the conditions so far, it is impossible to convince him on any conditions. Why don't you show your sincerity? I long for it so far. Whatever you want, say the conditions. If you say that you are willing to give up even billions of dollars for compromise, you may show room for compromise in your heart. And some words have different impacts depending on who utters them. The master is leading Valentino, the top of the continent. If Marquis Valentino makes a decision, there will surely be a way."
It was Valentino who was at the top.
After listening to people seriously, he looked around and spoke in a serious voice.
"As you all know, the sword that Chris currently possesses is what I desperately want. First no-name. The symbolism of the series is great. Chris and Kevin, who are now called the future of Dmitry, competed for one sack, and Chris's victory determined the owner of the first no-name. A sword with such a story is a great treasure for collectors like me. And now that His Majesty Roman Dmitry no longer offers new swords, I want to have it."
expressed aspirations.
The Marquis of Valentino was devoted to his work in the meantime.
He expanded his business like crazy, grew his power, and realized his dream of becoming the top of the continent.
From a year ago, people considered the Valentino top the best.
Remembering the devotion that Valentino gave during the Conquest of the Demon Realm, he rose to the top position in just two years based on them.
Ready.
I met Chris because I thought I could do anything now, but I was rejected in all three meetings.
said Marquis Valentino.
"I have been waiting for this moment. People say I have everything, but the meaning of my existence is to secure tangible values. I will choose the correct method. If I show that I can give my all, rather than simply making an offer of a level that I can accept, even Chris will not be able to reject it unconditionally. do not worry. Even if we lose a lot in this deal, Valentino will still be in the top spot."
"Follow orders."
"Follow orders."
No one objected.
This is his kingdom, and everyone here knows that Valentino's desire is the driving force behind being the best in the world.
blast furnace.
This time, it will be difficult for Chris to refuse.

next day.
went to Chris.
Blocking his way back from training, the Marquis Valentino said with a serious face.
"Chris. In the meantime, I've made three proposals, and Chris never showed any room for compromise. I understand. The fact that the sword bestowed by His Majesty Roman Dmitry cannot be replaced by anything else. But sometimes, there are moments when you have to give up, no matter how precious it is."
"Hey, Marquis Valentino."
Chris sighed.
Three times, during that time, the Marquis Valentino constantly coveted his sword.
I understood.
Knowing the tendencies of the Marquis Valentino, it wasn't that he couldn't understand his intense obsession.
But Chris couldn't accept his request.
First No-Name is unique in the world, so I thought that nothing could replace it.
and.
He didn't like the choice to come to him instead of Kevin.

This time I was definitely trying to draw a line, but the Marquis Valentino spoke first.
Shh.
"Take it."
handed something
it was blank
As I gazed at it with nothing written on it, a shocking remark entered my ear to the point of being absurd.
"It is a blank sheet. Write everything you want Chris to do, so that the space for thousands of characters will be full. If you do, I will use the name of the Valentino family and colonize everything written therein. There is only one condition, as you know."
I glanced at the waist.
The sword hung there.
The moment he confirmed the first no-name, the eyes of the Marquis Valentino were dyed with greed.
"If you give it to me, I will give you everything in this world. Valentino has the power to do that."
