Chapter 177.

The color blue swirled in front of my eyes like thorns. I opened my eyes with the impression. The vague vision showed a familiar space.” This is ……”

This was the vast underground space of Sora Island, the base of Rilla’s followers. Looking around in fright, I found the source of light that stung my eyes. The white Robe standing on the altar. No, it was the light emanating from the ancient relic held by Iben. That light was pointing exactly downward. The void of nothing, and the strange-looking crouching child floating slightly from the floor below.

I realized immediately. Although invisible, there was me below the blue contact. I was invisible with the magic that “Winter” had hooked me up with.

Callisto, who was hiding in the corner of the open space from the giant lizard, rolled on the floor.

The moment I experienced in the past unfolded as if I were watching a still image. And, like a third party, I watched like a third party, one step away from that event.

At that moment. Suddenly, the white Robe, no, it was the blue color emanating from the ancient relic held by Iben. At the same time, something began to float on the mirror where nothing existed. When I looked at it, I was mesmerized and remembered the words “I will say”, the scene I didn’t see the time I desperately closed my eyes.

In that case, Iben saw me correctly even though there was a transparent painting magic.” Looking at it with objective eyes, the scene at that time took on a new look. I lazily opened my eyes and carefully looked at the ancient relic Iben was holding. The blue color became stronger. Then, as if there were waves on the water, something was reflected in the hazy mirror.

“Town.”

I, peering into the mirror that was as clear as a lie, widened my eyes and raised a sharp breath. It was me.

Not Penelope’s beautiful exterior, but the real me. I was dead asleep, in the corner of the room, clutching my cell phone with the screen on. It was.

what I looked like before I was possessed by the game.” Me, why am I there ……”

I walked toward the altar where Dancing Iben stood. Step by step, step by step, the slow moving pace gradually picks up. I walked to the mirror in one breath. And in order to catch it stretched out my hand for a moment.

Before the blue light spewing from the Kurling-Relic could reach the end of my fingers, the main side of the scene collapsed with a loud roar.” What, what ……!”

In an instant, the walls of the altar and cavern disappeared and the place was filled with pitch blackness. As I looked around my teeth in panic, light spilled over the bed.

I lifted my head. The laptop-only relic Iben was holding had unknowingly turned into an ancient, massive full-length mirror that dominated the dark side. On it, I had just seen the reality of the sleeping me, my room exactly as it was. I could see the “GAMEOVER” game screen through the cracks in my fingers while holding the cell phone in my hand. Now, I can go back now!

That’s what I thought instinctively. If I touch the mirror, I can go back to reality. With a heart full of hope and joy, I ran towards the huge mirror.

I don’t know why I just rushed in like that, as if I could jump to my room on the other side of the mirror. When I finally reached the huge mirror. I got up from the floor and desperately jumped there. That moment was also filled with the unfounded belief that I could totally pass through the mirror. But then, clang—“Ah!”

I hit the cold, hard surface of the mirror hard and fell hard.” Ah, I’m dead ……”

The shoulder that I hit hurt vaguely. No, strangely enough, it’s just a bump, as if I’ve been hit, and my body starts to ache all over.” What. Why ……”

I cried out and looked up at the mirror in front of me. At that moment, suddenly white words appeared on the mirror.

< System>Error. entered Hildengan and couldn’t get to the end.

I looked at it blankly and spat it out with a smile.” …… Don’t point fingers.”

In the game Hardcore, the game says the character’s death. It’s talking about the death of Penelo Pepinelope.

But the crazy game was game over for me who chose to die.

“What kind of bullshit is this when you say I can’t leave here even if I die!”

I rose from my seat. Raised both fists before the moon moved to the mirror that still illuminated my appearance.

“Crazy game! Feel free to enter, why are you calling me!” Bang, bang! I thumped the mirror randomly, yelling.

Trying to get back in. Looking at my groggy, pathetic face from all-night gaming, even more desperate.” Let me go! Let me go!”

< System>Error. entered Hildengan and couldn’t GAMEOVER until the end.

Bang, bang, bang!

But no matter how much I knocked and shouted, only the white words resurfaced on my appearance in the mirror, nothing changed.

At that moment, the mirror tumbled as if time was up. And my real appearance in it gradually became blurred.” No! Stop, no!”

Disappearing as I was, I shook my head wildly and slapped the mirror frantically.

“I’m going to die, just send me to reality!”

The more messed up and disappearing I looked in the mirror, the clearer the words in the system window became.

< System>Error. entered Hildengan, can’t GAMEOVER until the end.

Worse than a nightmare the way the system window looked, I winced and closed my eyes.

“Ho!”

Then immediately opened my eyes. Instead of the black space and giant mirrors from earlier, a familiar ceiling was seen.” Whew, whew ……”

Like a long run, ragged breath burst out along his lips. Tried to stand up to get an idea of what was going on, but strangely the body didn’t move. Had to roll my pulley eyes to confirm the surroundings.

The familiar space of teeth was my room. No, to be precise, Penelope’s room inside the ducal palace.

‘So it was a dream just now…?’

Peering into my reality through the mirror, which was a mirror that was a system window, disappeared without a trace.

I stared at the ceiling for half a second and breathed. The bitter scent of medicine hit my nose.

It took a long time before I finally wanted to admit that I was awake. Suddenly white square windows appeared in front of me.

Paid < System> [500 million gold] to enter Hildengan!

“……x’s.”

A muffled insult bubbled up without me realizing it. It was a continuation of the nightmare. As soon as I was awake, floating in the system window as if I had waited, my own teeth chattered. But it wasn’t the end.

< System > From now on, can not confirm the value of goodwill outside the color of the dashboard, in accordance, will be given to the end of the request to hang and reward!

< System >An unexpected event! Please keep [Fragment of Ancient Magic Mirror] in a safe place!

“Ha, ha ha ……”

I laughed in exasperation. Now not only did I give the money, I simply didn’t look at the favorability, and didn’t even give the option of whether or not to accept it. But ironically, it didn’t feel that desperate. The mental breakdown stage hadn’t passed yet.

“…… I did that, but really died.”

I lifted my immobile arm with all my might and spread my hands out in front of my nose. The residual effects of the poison, no dryness left outside the bones, straight shivering.

Like the dream I just saw, or the system, I didn’t end up coming back to reality. Don’t know what the reason is.

With anyone can not see the end, is it because of the failure in hardcore mode, is it because of the automatic payment, or is there really no way to get rid of this crazy game …….

“Maybe the question is, haven’t you thought about dying sooner?”

Anyway, the one remaining method became useless, and now all that was left was to take another swing at the damn thing.

I lowered my trembling hands in mid-air and covered them with the covers. Obviously, I thought it was okay a moment ago, not even an inch could be seen, and a hot breath crept up to my neck. (X feet, son of a bitch″!)

I break into a scream at my blurry opponent. It seems paralyzed, fidgeting badly with the body flopping around.

It seems like I’ll die if I don’t. It’s hard to know how to suppress the anger and despair that wells up in my head.

“Aha!”

My rough body, soft quilt, and pillows fall haphazardly onto the bed.

Suddenly, the raucous sound of iron rang through the room. I stopped screaming and lowered the hands covering my eyes.

Blurry eyes were focused to see my exclusive maid looking at me with a surprised face. Along with the water she spilled, the tin basin rolled out.” Ah, miss ……”

Emily, whose face was pale and full of shock, then opened her mouth wide.

“Ah, my God, the Duke! Housekeeper! Mademoiselle, Mademoiselle Penelope is awake!”
