The Character I Created Is Obsessed With Me

142 – Truth (16)

“Could you come a little closer…” ?”

I walked slowly through the ruined temple.

The throne of the temple where the goddess is bound.

It was half collapsed and dust settled down.

As the distance got closer, she slowly began to look at my face.

Then his bright expression sank.

“Seohyun. “It looks like you’ve been through a lot.”

“It’s no big deal.”

“Your face has become very gaunt. “The snow has come down…”

If the goddess’s hands were free.

Couldn’t he have come over and touched her face at any moment?

Unfortunately, we couldn’t reach each other.

Instead, they just look at each other and share their worries.

“And there is one unfortunate fact.”

An ominous feeling strikes again.

The goddess’s expression didn’t look that good either.

I hesitated whether I should say it or not.

“I think it will be difficult for us to head to Seohyun’s world.”

Finally, she decided to speak out.

Still, there was a part of my heart wondering if something might happen.

According to the goddess, it seemed unlikely.

“Of course, I can’t be sure, but… We cannot go to Seohyun’s world.”

“Can I find out the reason?”

“What I found out is that all living things in this world are connected to the system.”

Although she was not even aware of the fact that she was a goddess.

It is said that all characters in the game are connected by a system.

And the moment the system loses its power.

“…There is a possibility of death.”

“You’re going to die?”

“Yes. “In reality, dead bodies are not connected to the system.”

Then, on the contrary.

What happens to all living things the moment the system collapses?

“No way…”

“Yes. If we are not careful, all living things may perish…”

It doesn’t matter to me since I’m an outsider.

My colleagues were different.

“Except for Seohyun, there are only two people who have escaped the power of the system.”

“Erina.”

“Yes. And so do I.”

Erina was born because of me.

And the goddess could be said to be an exception as she was born to protect the system.

However, the remaining personnel were all connected to the system.

Kayla. Serica. Tyria.

In addition, Colin and Julia, Catalina and Malcolm.

“If the system collapses, all living things could die…?”

“Yes…”

I can’t believe I’m finally learning something this serious.

I quickly headed to the back of the temple and checked the light green gem.

Fortunately, there wasn’t much change from when I saw it before.

Cracks were growing subtly.

“Holy shit…”

The goddess also glared at the green gem with a nervous expression.

“But it didn’t grow very big…”

“Why on earth is this happening…?”

There was a fact that had bothered me for a long time.

If there were no problems before, as the goddess said.

Since the new episode started, only one thing has changed.

“Maybe I am the cause.”

There is a possibility that the fact that I am in this world itself is a problem.

Something that cannot happen because of me happens.

The story progresses faster.

Could it be that the system was damaged?

“…I don’t think so.”

The goddess shook her head hastily, but she was still speaking.

She probably hasn’t thought about it either.

He must have kept his mouth shut for my sake.

“If it weren’t for me, the system would have collapsed.”

“Please don’t say things like that…” !”

The goddess was right.

Did I come to this world because I wanted to?

I was simply dragged in by Erina and the goddess.

But what would have happened if I had stayed still?

It is certain that the world will be destroyed.

How on earth should I act?

“Seohyun. “It’s never your fault.”

“…”

“It’s my fault. “It’s all because of me…”

Self-blaming words continued.

“No. There is nothing wrong with you.”

“Because I dragged you into this world and it ended up in this situation…”

She didn’t have even an ounce of resentment towards the goddess.

She is just a victim.

She is also one of my trustworthy helpers.

Before the atmosphere calmed down further, I changed the topic.

“The situation is moving too quickly.”

“What happened to Hellwood Forest…?”

“Too much happened.”

I told the goddess everything that had happened so far.

As I listened to the story, my complexion became increasingly pale.

I kept my mouth shut when I heard that there was a war going on.

“Don’t worry too much. “The traitor has been taken care of, and all that remains is Catherine.”

“Be careful. Katrin is a person of interest among the executives of the Demon King’s Army.”

“I know too.”

How much trouble did you have to take down Catherine?

She thought she was fully prepared for the first round.

Among the four blades, he was the most difficult opponent.

‘I repeated saving and loading several times…’

When I first dealt with Katrin, I didn’t even know how to attack her.

She kept going back to the checkpoint, fighting against him, and was barely able to win.

Still, the situation was different this time.

“Preparation measures are already in place. And we are no slouch either.”

Even if Catherine herself came forward, she could not defeat us.

In the first round, it was Erina, Celica, and Tyria.

Kayla and I were together now.

However, since it is the second time, Katrin must have become stronger.

Other than that part, there was no major problem.

“Seohyun. Please be safe.”

Recently, the number of people who are worried about me has increased.

Serika and Kayla looked at my face and said that my complexion was bad.

Even a goddess would say something like that as soon as she saw me.

It seems true that I look very tired.

Although I was exhausted every day, I didn’t take it too seriously.

I think I have been too indifferent so far.

“I can’t do anything without Seohyun.”

“Don’t worry. “I will definitely save you.”

You must have been very lonely while you were incarcerated alone.

It was so sad to see them just waiting for me.

Of course, there is no way she would be okay.

What can we do to appease the goddess?

While thinking, the goddess spoke first.

“Do you like Erina…?”

“Yes.”

“…I see.”

A voice full of regret.

Drooped shoulders and trembling eyes.

As much as I know how much the goddess hates Erina.

I couldn’t hide my disappointment at my answer.

“I understand too. “Because Erina is special to you.”

“…”

“But does she love you even though she tries to hurt you…?”

She nodded without hesitation.

When she was first brought into this world, her mind was confused.

I no longer had any doubts.

I love Erina.

No matter what she does.

No matter what harm is done to me.

I will personally restrain her and hold her back.

Who else could love Erina if not me?

On the other hand, I am the only one who can accept her love.

“Yes. “I love Erina.”

Then the goddess’ complexion visibly worsened.

Suddenly, I was able to read the emotions on the goddess’ face.

The fact that it is not just fear.

Guilt, regret, regret and pity.

A sad expression was drawn with a little bit of negative emotion mixed in.

‘No way…’

I wonder if the goddess also has affection for me.

Perhaps she is hoping for more than simply saving herself.

“Yes, I understand.”

I tried my best to hide my sad expression and smiled.

I could already guess her inner thoughts.

‘What should I do?’

First of all, I needed to be sure that I was not mistaken.

“You hate Erina. Yes?”

“Yes. “I really hate it.”

Immediate response without the slightest hesitation.

Of course, I couldn’t help but hate Erina.

“But I will forgive her for her sake.”

“Really for my sake…?”

“Yes. “I definitely hate Erina.”

The goddess took a moment to catch her breath.

I was able to see her inner thoughts in a very subtle moment.

“More than anything, I want you to be happy.”

Too much generosity for me.

At this level, I could see that it was not just my illusion.

“I see.”

If I were to say this much, I decided to be honest.

As much as I knew the goddess’s situation, I had no intention of playing with her heart.

If she had the personality of a goddess, she would never say it out loud.

I decided to speak first.

“You want to be with me too.”

Then the goddess’s face changed.

The gloomy look disappeared and he couldn’t take his eyes off me.

“Ah…”

“Tell me honestly. “Am I right?”

The hesitation is only for a moment.

The goddess also nodded her head obediently.

“Yes. “I want to be with you…”

The goddess quietly nodded her head with her face turning red.

I was so thankful, but my heart became complicated.

I have already given my heart to Erina and Kayla.

Can we even accept the goddess here?

The goddess, noticing my complexion, quickly opened her mouth.

“Well, I don’t expect much from Seohyun…!”

The goddess’s eyes were trembling.

The same look in Kayla and Tyria’s eyes when they lie.

“It is enough to just watch and wait for you. Therefore…”

My lips were trembling, as if I didn’t want to do it.

“You don’t have to worry about me.”

Even so, can you just listen and ignore it?

From Noble mtl dot com

Rather, it would be better if you conveyed your feelings clearly like Erina or Kayla.

She wanted to maintain her ambiguous distance.

“Okay, I understand.”

To be honest, I had no feelings of affection for the goddess.

She only has feelings of pure pity and pity for her.

But I couldn’t just ignore her feelings.

‘What should I do?’

If I were to reject it outright, I would definitely smile and move on.

I couldn’t even imagine how much pain they would suffer while I was gone.

Even now, he was watching me and waiting for an answer.

Eyes filled with anticipation.

It was difficult to say no.

“I don’t know yet.”

“…”

“The other colleagues continued to be together, but I didn’t spend much time with you.”

Obviously, the meeting was almost similar to Erina.

I couldn’t meet him other than in my dreams occasionally.

It is true that we still don’t know much about the goddess.

It is too early to give a definite answer.

“I will give you a clear answer later, after I save you.”

Then the goddess nodded her head with a satisfied smile.

“I will be waiting for you.”

“Yes. Sorry.”

“No. “This alone is a huge blessing to me.”

A goddess who understands my feelings as if everything is okay.

But since I have already found out my true feelings.

It was predictable that she would feel anxious.

“Ah…”

Gradually blurring vision.

The time has come to wake up again.

Hasn’t time gotten shorter recently?

Just as I was about to say hello with regret.

The goddess must have noticed and quickly grabbed me.

“Wait a minute…! “There’s one thing I’d like to ask of you!”

“Please?”

This is the first time she has ever asked me for something.

I didn’t know what I was asking for help with.

And the goddess continued speaking with an earnest expression.

“Could you please give me a name…?”

“Name?”

“Yes. Like Erina and Kayla. “Can you give me a name too…?”

Now that I think about it, the goddess had no name.

They simply called her ‘goddess’ or an ambiguous title such as ‘you’.

Did you want to have names like Erina and Kayla?

Still, I wanted to be careful when choosing a name since it would be my name for the rest of my life.

Unfortunately, there was not much time.

Erina. Kayla. I liked the two names the best, though.

Still, there were some names that were good.

Suddenly, I raised my head and made eye contact with the goddess.

Even if it is stained with dust and blood.

She had a slender body and sad eyes.

Pure white skin and golden hair had a unique charm.

“Yeriel.”

It’s a pretty good name for something I came up with in a hurry.

When Yeri El heard what I said, her face immediately brightened.

“Thank you. It’s such a beautiful name… “

I wanted to be with her just a little longer.

My vision has already become blurry for a long time.

“See you next time. Yeriel.”

“Yes. Thank you very much.”

Yeriel’s voice, heard for the last time, was brighter than ever.

At this level, I can feel at ease about the goddess.

With that final greeting, I woke up.

***

A light sensation felt as soon as one wakes up.

Unlike before, it meant that I fell asleep alone.

But there was something in my left hand.

“Erina…”

As expected, it looks like he just couldn’t fall asleep.

He was holding my hand tightly with his eyes closed.

I warned you not to go over like that.

It looks like they couldn’t give up on holding hands.

‘At best, Serika said her prayers.’

Even in her dreams, her fatigue from meeting the goddess did not go away.

I thought about going outside for a moment and looking around.

“Ugh… !”

Even while she was sleeping, Erina did not let go of her hand.

If she moved her arms even slightly, she would flinch and turn over.

If Erina wakes up in this state, it’s obvious that she’ll cause an uproar.

Finally, she carefully laid down on her bed, holding her hands together.

“Haa…”

When will I be able to get a good night’s sleep?

I decided that once this war was over, I would return to the capital and rest for a long time.
