The Origin of Species

More and more women are coming to the center of the founder's well. White, black and yellowish skin color varied. There was definitely less dirt on the street than outside. Moreover, my clothes were in fairly good condition.

Children and women.

As soon as they see us, they quickly duck their heads for a warm glow.

Marca looks around and says,

“A few more children just now. ”

“There are more children than I thought. ”

It was a miracle, wasn't it? Then there should be fewer kids. But the question was quickly solved.

“These are children gathered from all over the armpit. They were abandoned by their parents. ”

“Dumped it?”

“It's useless. Those kids don't have any economic skills. Growth is too slow. ”

This is what happens here on Earth. It's natural. It is more questionable that I do not have the economic capability. I don't know if there was a story in the notebook about the Acolyte, but it didn't say a single letter. In the end, I had to ask Marca to solve the question.

“That's what growth is all about. Parents can raise economic capabilities. ”

“How? These kids don't get powers. ”

Marca says no to children in the Tower of Rights. And a man named Lee Sin-woo said he would gather such children and stay here.

In other words, it serves as an orphanage.

Suddenly, there is a proper house in front of me. It's neither big nor spacious, but it's definitely the best building I've ever seen at the Guru's Well.

Marca knocks on the door.

Cock.

The door slams open and I see his surprised face. But it looks completely different from the image I had in mind.

To be honest, I expected a man with a sharp look and a strong look, but the reality is the neighbor with a butt belly sticking out.

But something is strange to ignore.

What is that? ’

In his right hand, the blue dragon moves like a wave. Is that the power of water? Even though I have seen many other powers, I am surprised by the appearance of a very sophisticated dragon.

Made of water.

Marca left me behind and talked to Lee Sin-woo.

“Oh, Marca. What brings you here?”

“It's been a while. Us. ”

“What, about three years ago? ”

“Looks like you've taken your powers to the next level. ”

“Haha, no. I don't even go hunting. What?”

When a man named Lee Sin-woo shakes his hand and shakes his head, Marca says.

“How long have you been out of the tower? ”

“Maybe 30 years. ”

“Hey, has it already happened? You haven't used up all the Refining Stone you've had, have you? ”

Lee Sin-woo scratched his head.

“Well, I've been writing for 30 years...”

“Then shouldn't you start earning again? Looks like there are more brothers and sisters. ”

“Well... you know. Why I'm not going to the tower. ”

“I know. That's why I'm here."

Marca smiles and points at me.

“He wants your resonance heart. ”

“Yes?”

I'm not wrong, but I think the pint on the horse is a little off. Indeed, his dragons shake violently like angry storms and sprinkle drops of water.

“And you're good? ”

“Skilled? He's been here over a week. ”

“What? A week? And you want my resonance heart? ”

“Yeah, it's the first time. ”

Marca looked at me like it was interesting. So you want me to go one-on-one with Lee Sin-woo? Then Lee Sin-woo's gaze turned into an angry hurricane. The blue dragon flutters in his right hand.

Only fresh blue water expresses the fierce eyes of the dragon and sharp teeth.

It looks really easy to ascend.

Lee Sin Woo said with a serious face, unlike the front boat that popped out.

“Water power is harder to deal with than you think. Are you confident?”

I raised my head. I felt normal, like the guy next door. But there's the doctor's touch. His skills are real.

“That's what people always ask. Can you do it? By the way, I just want to do it. ”

“Haha. Young friends are fun. So what do you want to do now? ”

“Leaving a scar on your face. ”

At the same time, I got some weight to look at. The red particles roar with the flushing iron. Chip, chip. The world began to flow as I wanted it to.

Hold a scalpel in one hand and a curlet in the other. Check for slow-moving Marca and Lee Sin-woo.

Marca says he's the boss. It's a step up from the mouth. I'm sure I've been in a lot more battles than I have, and I've been in a lot more trouble.

I empowered my calf. He springs out like a spring. Then Lee Sin-woo's mouth draws a hose. Huh, relaxed. Product of experience or carelessness? It doesn't matter. I'll do my best.

“Khhh!”

Twisted muscles scream. I was moaning. I swung it deep and fast.

Maybe all the flesh, muscles and nerves that came into contact with the scalpel are cut off, but it doesn't matter. I'm just saying. I was disqualified as a colleague if I ever got hit by such a thing.

‘I avoided.’

Yeah, it is.

I'd be disappointed if I were here.

Take two steps? His speed was speeding. Even in a world ten times slower.

which means that it's much faster than normal people.

But it was definitely slower than me. You stabbed Curek in two steps forward.

This!

He dodges even when I'm faster. Obviously he's reading my movements. At the same time, I was attacked by a counterattack. The blue dragon suddenly opened its jaws and swarmed.

“Ugh!"

The cold currents hit the ball. A red particle that swings with a tingling sensation.

It's definitely bleeding, but it's okay. I only exert my power when I am wounded.

‘You don't have to chew on my cheeks. ’

Lee Sin-woo's attack is a secret even in a world 10 times slower. It's the ultimate move. Seeks efficiency and aims for blind spots.

I saw his mouth open slowly. He said in a slow, blasphemous voice.

“I... I... I... ”

I attacked him five times while he was talking. However, there are no valid hits. Lee Sin-woo countered.

On the head.

You bend your head. At the same time, the stream of blue water flows. The user rolls back and avoids it. What kind of ammunition?

As soon as the streets opened, the dragons were divided into five trunks and swiftly swarmed.

Boom!!

The place where I was standing turned off the recess. The power is also not great. At this rate in slower times, it would be catastrophic for others.

It feels completely different from the lures you encountered before.

But the more the merrier. The stronger you are, the greedier you get. Adrenaline pinches the blood.

“Khhh!”

I shouted and heard it differently again. His face changes in real time. And as the workshop was coming and going, he said,

“Speed does not conquer the side. ”

Time to think about the meaning of words? There is no such thing. Because a new attack has already begun.

‘Yes, go ahead. ’

Water use has become more and more sizeable. It swirls around me and sprinkles cold and sharp.

The dragon became such a rare barrier to water.

‘Left.’

I ran into an empty space.

But Lee Sin-woo is also not an idiot. In an instant, the water barrier swirls and grows in size.

Is that what you're saying? It's everywhere. It's fast, but it can't avoid the surface.

Lee Sin-woo locked me away as a barrier to water. The water flows violently. It was a watermelon that was fast enough for the floor to sweep away.

And it has become increasingly narrow. At the same time, I realized that the water was expanding.

What if more time has passed?

‘Hehe, that's funny. ’

If it's inevitable, we'll break through!

A clockwise vortex, giving up on the left side of the body and the back. I threw myself into the stream while protecting my ears and eyes with my left arm.

One step. I think the left side of my body will fall off.

At the same time, he twisted to the right, adding one step in the same direction as the water. My back and back are really sore.

Take another step while beating the resistance of water. The amount of blood on the hourglass is shy and cold.

“Ha, poisonous. ”

Sounds like it's stretching somewhere. The world revealed again was red and dark. Whenever I blink my eyes, the sticky red thread obstructs my vision.

The red particles are everywhere, and my target should be right in front of me.

At that moment, something sticks to your face.

“Glug.”

Is that a drop of water?

Dammit. A drop of water as big as my torso stuck to my head. Even if you throw it out with your hands, it won't disappear even if you wrap it in clothes.

You quickly step back and clear the street. Nevertheless, this damn drop of water clings like the head of a spacesuit.

I started having trouble breathing.

“Hmm, is it over? ”

Marca's relaxed voice echoes in her ears. Did I say it's over now? No, at least I'll decide my end.

What's left of me.

Normal right hand, scalpel, blood curette, and vision.

I opened my eyes. Bend your head and gather air as if you were washing your hands. And quickly put it in a drop of water.

That's right. Water is water.

When air enters the water, it floats naturally over it. I sucked the air bubbles rising above it with my nose and mouth. Then I felt relieved to breathe.

"If you can't get close enough to strike..."

Cough.

You feel a lot of strength in your hands. And I threw it without hesitation. At the same time, I feel something moving from Lee Sin-woo's hand.

In a slow world.

The curlet has clearly slowed down. It must be blocking Kuret's advance with a strong current.

But...

I have a scalpel.

“Hehe. Avoid this, too. ”

It's different from throwing a Curette. I did my best to my shoulder, elbow, and wrist. Approximately twice the speed of the Curlet. To Lee Sin-woo, this will look like a flash of light.

At that moment.

I could see Lee Sin-woo's head lifting. At the same time, it narrows my eyebrows. The scalpel cuts through his cheek.

It's not a fatal wound.

Blood splattered.

Even as I was choking, I smiled for some reason.

“Huh-huh.”

At the same time, my consciousness became more and more distant.

...

I glanced at the wound on the cheek. I almost cut my gums a little deeper. It tasted like blood for the first time in 30 years.

“Hehe.”

You turn your head and see Marca smiling.

“How's that? Is that okay? ”

“Phew, I didn't think I'd make it that far. I didn't do everything I could. ”

“That's a total mess. Poison. Poison.”

“Is that so?”

“Well, isn't it time to get out of here? ”

The bridegroom scratches his head as he looks at the two-way street lying on the floor. He's been in this shitty world for 156 years. He fell here at the age of 36, which makes him 192. There was a lot going on in the meantime.

I built towers with my colleagues, and I lost them. Anyway, he keeps going up the tower. I couldn't stop thinking about my lonely mother.

The Earth and here are strangely twisted axes of time. It could be seen from the subsequent scene, which is precisely 12 times slower than Earth.

But the funny thing is that the axis of time is incomplete. The criterion was Lee Sin-woo, a year away from himself.

156 years from now, 13 years before Earth time. Even before that, Earth and time here had flowed the same way. According to the old thingies.

Anyway, my colleagues have changed. There's only one reason, that Cederesis has to risk her life.

"There is no Cenderosis. ’

"Cenderosis? That's a rumor. ’

And they pursued pleasure. The Sharp Clan has become a huge guild and has finally changed.

They were satisfied on the fourth floor, even though they had to move away from the center.

‘Shinwoo, that's it. ’

‘Shinwoo, this is more than dangerous. ’

When one year became two years, and that was 10 years later, and another 100 years later, he was completely exhausted. Those who challenge Cenderosis fade away.

I can't handle five tiers of monsters on my own. So I needed a colleague, but no one to challenge me.

But he succeeded in creating a new colleague. Bringing in new recruits.

Then one day.

The case broke out. The group's name was Natsin. They meet at the tower, drawing in a group of false friends. Honestly, their words were sweet temptations to everyone.

‘Freedom, and reversal. ’
