92 Path Of The Depth 1

"I will not wait for too long. If you cannot open it, I will force you."

He was looking elsewhere. Jaehwan felt his heart fall. Sameng Garam charged and ran past Jaehwan.

'NO!'

His attack threw Chunghuh and Sirwen away. Cayman was barely standing now with his sword as a prop. Yet Sameng Garam smashed the quadhorn sword into pieces. Jaehwan felt Cayman's spirit energy being destroyed as Sameng Garam repeated his attack.

Jaehwan ran with all his might. And-

"M-master…!"

Cayman shouted in shock. Jaehwan was struck hard and blood began to seep from his mouth. But he stood. He then glared at Sameng Garam, panting.

'They are not like you. This life is all they have. This world is 'only one' they can live.'

…

Suddenly, Jaehwan felt as if he was struck by lightning. This world was the 'only one'? He began to see flashes of his memories. Memories of when he was born, when he went to school, when he was with his friends… all those memories had one thing in common. The world where he was in.

And when he was there, he did not grow [Suspicious] of his world. How could he? He was living in the world. The world was there because he did not become [Suspicious]. He knew it as 'real'. The world of the system was born with that 'trust'.

'If then…'

If the world existed through 'trust'...

'What if I trust another world?'

At that moment, Jaehwan's unique world moved. All those memories began to speak to Jaehwan.

'That world is fake.'

'That is not the world we lived in.'

'Do not run from the world!'

It wasn't easy. Trusting a new world didn't just create a new one right away.

'One isn't enough.'

Jaehwan needed absolute trust to create a new world. He needed all of his memories to be changed. All of them had to yearn for the new world. But how could he persuade them? They represented all the 'Jaehwans' himself, the stubborn one that never forgave.

Jaehwan chose not to persuade them. He just glared at them, declaring silently that he would not give up.

As for the attack from Sameng Garam, Jaehwan did not do anything. All the Jaehwans from his memories were shocked. If it was left alone, their body would perish.

'Dammit.'

'…He's me after all.'

'Just for this one time.'

Soon, all the Jaehwans turned to the same world. The world that had not existed before. And in the next moment-

Jaehwan's body that was burning in dark flame began to s.h.i.+ne. The world that Jaehwan had in his imagination was now turning into reality.

'…Ah!'

Sirwen was stared in astonishment. She who had lived for 2000 years knew what was happening.

Creation.

From the opening of the world, Jaehwan pulled out something. It was a dark sword. Jaehwan then realized the keyword for the 4th step. The 4th step was the power allowed imagination to turn into reality.

[Theory]

A dark sword was the symbol of objection to everything of this world. Jaehwan held the new sword, and his old sword in each of his hands.

"So, this is your world."

Sameng Garam spoke as he looked at the new sword.

"It is unfortunate."

Sameng Garam knew what it meant. He knew what Jaehwan's world was trying to achieve.

"A world born only to destroy another world."
