The Story is Told to the Protagonist.

“The 38th floor trial…”

I continued speaking while glancing at Bahram from the corner of my eye.
Fortunately, as expected, he was just listening.

He seems so focused on the content itself that he doesn’t care who I’m talking to.

“Planet Rtemion will face destruction soon, okay? But the cause is simpler than you might think. Don’t give up there. Solve it and make them an ally… Ah, no.”

Now that I think about it, I’ll need to be there to guide this specifically. Seol Ga-ram can’t do it alone.

“Forget what I just said. This won’t work without me.”

***

“Wow… I don’t know where Rtemion is, but that’s sad.”

“Who’s sad? It can’t be worse than our planet, right?”

“Why us? We’re just peaceful.”

“Oh, come on! I can’t hear the broadcast.”

“Youngest, the remote’s there. Turn up the volume.”

The large family gathered in front of the screen buzzed with conversation.

Has there ever been such a sensational issue in their lives? Even the pregnancy scandal of the top idol in their galaxy wasn’t this big.

“What are we going to do, really… It must feel so futile.”

“Sis can go fight in their place. Whatever their destruction is, it’d be a piece of cake for you.”

“You shouldn’t say that. Is a planet’s destruction someone else’s business?”

“It’s okay. Our planet won’t be destroyed until I die.”

The five siblings were still young. Not knowing the weight of the fate called destruction, they were just excited in their own ways.

But tragedy struck as lightly as the gossip they were chewing on.

-< There’s no need to indulge all of planet Omegatopia’s whims.>

“Oh! Shh! Our planet’s name came up-”

-< They’ll be destroyed in a few years anyway. Don’t expect any meaningful alliance with them.>

“…Huh?”

“Hey, just now…”

The young siblings who had been chattering excitedly all fell silent.

Destroyed…? Our planet?
Even though we’re holding up so well?

The man on the screen kept spitting out bombshell news. But no one could consume it as mere gossip anymore.

After a long silence, the second child, unable to hold back, or rather, unable to accept reality, stood up abruptly.

“Hey, what… Huh. Who the hell is that guy? Why… our planet… why is it going to be destroyed.”

No one answered.
The second child, who had flared up impulsively, became rather scared by that silence. So he raised his voice even more.

“…Why is the atmosphere like this? Do you think it’ll happen like that guy says? He’s just some cult heretic, how could someone like that be a god!!”

“Everything that man said about the trial contents is true.”

The siblings’ heads all turned back at once.
Their father, a transcendent, was tying his combat boots with his back turned to the screen.

“It’s impossible to disclose trial information. Because it’s forbidden by the system. Yet that man said everything; they’re all real experiences I had in the tower.”

“…What are you trying to say? Huh?”

“I thought the frontlines have been unsettling lately…”

The second child noticed that his father’s back was trembling slightly.

“It’s been a long fight. It seems God has finally abandoned us.”

A hero who had saved the planet from destruction, surpassing the limits of ordinary people.
They had never seen their father’s back, which used to seem as sturdy as a mountain, look so fragile in their eyes.

“…”

“…”

“Dad’s going out. This battle might be long, so eat dinner first.”

Their father left the house with a battle axe slung over his back.

Creak-

“…”

The eldest turned off the broadcast.

-

“Summon my knight order immediately.”

“Hi-High Priest? But to believe just the words of that person-”

“No. I am certain.”

The High Priest’s bracelet emits a glow.

Fwoosh-

After the light faded, the High Priest stood proudly, clad in brilliant armor.
It wasn’t hard to predict that the day of action was near.

As the figure on the screen had praised, his decision was surprisingly quick.
The Imperial High Priest was a high-ranking transcendent who once broke records on several floors. His eyes shone brightly.

“I’ve long had doubts about the state of the altar, but I thought it was just me, an old man, unable to adapt to the times. But it seems that wasn’t it, but rather a man-made disaster. This is the last chance God has given us.”

The steward could already smell blood from his appearance.

Before leaving the room with the momentum of a giant, the High Priest paused for a moment.

“You head to Earth.”

Unlike just moments ago when he was trying to dissuade the High Priest, the steward quickly gathered his equipment and turned around.

“High Priest? For me to leave the frontlines…”

“There’s no time. Choose the most devout ones, and head to Earth without telling anyone. Right now.”

“But I’m the vanguard commander…”

The steward stopped speaking. Seeing the High Priest’s eyes, he judged that further comments would be meaningless.

“…Understood.”

The two left the audience chamber and headed in different directions.

Ding-

[You have changed the predetermined flow. The trait ‘???’ grows slightly.]

‘Huh? What’s this?’

I looked at the message briefly before dismissing it.
What do I care about some system messages I don’t understand now?

“The cause of planet Labrahem’s destruction is much more dangerous than you might think.”

Actually, it’s not.
But she steps in out of kindness and gets caught up in it for a long time. She loses a lot of time because of this, and the impact keeps snowballing.
Above all, in the end, she couldn’t even prevent the destruction.

“Forget the destruction, they have traitors appearing, civil war breaking out, it’s really brutal. In fact, that’s how they’ll be ruined.”

There is actually a traitor, but there’s no civil war. People are manipulated without even realizing the traitor’s existence.

I exaggerated a bit to make her more cautious.

“They’ll probably self-correct after hearing my words now, so leave them be.”

Will they self-correct? I’m skeptical.
The traitorous forces attached to each dynasty are no joke.
Given the characteristics of that planet’s people, religious influence is strong, so the kings are trying hard to eliminate it.

“And…”

“Is that true?”

“Huh?”

Bahram, who had been listening quietly, spoke up.

‘Ah. Come to think of it, he’s from that planet.’

I smiled slightly and looked at the floor. It was white.
When I raised my head, he was looking at the floor too.

‘Oh, wait.’

If he knew about traitors’ existence, couldn’t he quickly root them out with his [Reflected True Heart] skill? As a high-ranking transcendent, he must be one of the world’s top powers.

This is how it turns out.

“Well… do your best.”

“…”

“Consider the debt you owe me as Earth’s share.”

His expression was still blank. What a consistent guy.

‘Inadvertently ended up saving his planet too.’

Well… it’s fine. Even if he kills me, it’s not really his will but dying because of the Angel King.

Above all, despite how he looks, he’s not a villain, so I don’t even feel like getting angry.

It’s nice to save a planet.

“The 108th floor will collapse soon, and you’ll be able to sense the signs when it happens. Maybe because it’s such an unbelievable issue if you pay too much attention to public opinion. Just act according to your intuition.”

Maybe because she’s the protagonist, everything turns out right when she follows her intuition.

“Always be suspicious of and stay away from the Demon King and Angel King’s dynasties. The Demon King is crazy, and the Angel King has a lot of skeletons in his closet.”

They’re probably watching right now.
Those two are the first and second of the four main villains in the original work.
Bastards.

“Ah. The Angel King is trying to kill me. It’s probably because he’s currently using a forbidden technique that goes against the laws of heaven. It’ll be easier if you find and stop that in advance.”

Rumble-!

The light surges as if about to tear through the air. The space vibrates violently.

Wow, he’s just beside himself with joy.

‘If he rampages like this, won’t his influence be greatly weakened just from the penalties?’

Yeah, just eat a ton of penalties and go to hell.

–

The fairy conveyed this while trembling in shock.

Oh no. I’ve inadvertently caused harm.

“Lastly… believe in your talent and convictions. Everything in the world will be favorable to you.”

Because you are the protagonist of this world.

‘Oh right. My brother, mom.’

Come to think of it, since my family members are characters that weren’t in the original work, I don’t know what will happen to them.

The reporter outside the dome was broadcasting live. I wonder if Mom is watching now.

–

“Mr-Mr. President!”

“Write it down! Write it down quickly!”

The presidential office, which had been quiet as a mouse, suddenly became busy.

People are pulling out notepads and looking for pens everywhere. They seem to have completely forgotten about their phones in the face of this sudden major information.

“It’s already being recorded.”

“Mr. President. Leaders of other countries are contacting us through the hotline.”

“Later.”

Obviously, they want information about safe areas in their countries too.

But it’s not time for the Korean government to worry about other countries’ situations.
They were also trying to contact those inside that auditorium.

“Mr. President. An interim report on the investigation.”

“Go ahead.”

“So far, ‘procedures’ have been reported in 157 countries, and 12 cases have been confirmed within South Korea.”

“Such exceptional cases have only been confirmed at Hansung High School in South Korea.”

“What’s the viewer rating for KBM broadcasting?”

“It has exceeded 1,300%. The whole world is already focusing on the Hansung High broadcast. It’s beyond the stage where we can control the information.”

Reports from aides were exchanged busily with every second that passed.

“Mr. President. It will take 10 more minutes for the agent at the nearest location to arrive.”

“Secure that man’s safety by any means necessary. And bring his personal information quickly!”

The President gave orders and then fixed his eyes on the screen again.

Has God really bestowed a blessing on South Korea?
Or is it something else?

‘Oh God…’

-

Looking at the young man on the screen, the President’s gaze settled calmly once again.

***

“…Gwangju! Pohang!”

And… was there another one?
I think these seven were the only safe places for 100 years.

This should be enough information for the country. The government will handle it well on its own.

“Ah. Really lastly, please take care of my mom and brother too…”

Uh, hmm. This kind of breaks the mood and feels a bit embarrassing.
She’s still just an ordinary high school girl to entrust with this, and they don’t even know who I am over there…

‘But I have to save my family.’

With Seol Ga-ram’s personality, she’ll benefit from my information and quickly take care of my family.
She’ll figure out who I am and where my family is on her own.

Crackle-

I raised my head, shading my eyes with my hand.
The sphere has swollen as if about to burst at any moment, emitting a bright radiance.

The skill activation time is really almost up now.

‘He won’t save me, will he.’

Even if I saved his planet, he’s not that kind of person.
He can’t survive going against a king. What can I expect from someone who only pursues profit without emotion?

There’s nothing more to stall for.
Having been so thoroughly marked by a king, he won’t ask me any more questions.

‘This is really the end.’

Just as I was about to quietly close my eyes.

“A question.”

“Huh?”

At this timing?

‘Ugh, it’s so bright. I can’t see his expression.’

The light from the sphere is so dazzling that I can’t see in front of me.
Well, he’d be expressionless anyway.

Bahram, who had been thinking for a moment, opens his mouth.

“What…”
