That Man’s 101st Bad Ending

I can finally reach your sadness-1

Moonstone does not exist in this world.

Only a few records of such a thing existed, and the name Moon Stone and its power did not even remain.

Originally, there were two artifacts that should have been in this depth.

The moonstone I had and another one. The existence of the other one was long, but I was able to know what it was even after receiving Arwen’s letter.

[There is an artifact called the Memory Crown. Unlike the others, it can be said to be a slightly unusual artifact.]

coffin of memory. An artifact whose name has been heard, but not yet known in detail about its abilities.

I knew they were together when I was looking for the moon stone, but at that time I had no choice but to focus on the moon stone’s ability to return.

I stopped paying attention to it, but after that, I gradually learned what kind of power it had while looking for artifacts.

The Crown of Memory, like its name, had a simple power.

An artifact that restores forgotten memories, I tried using it in the past just in case, but I didn’t get any different results.

There were times when I went in alone, and there were times when I went in with Miragen.

I had to hear the hidden secrets of the empire,

It wasn’t the effect I wanted from it in the first place, so I had no choice but to be disappointed.

I’ll try going in this time, but I don’t think anything will change.

It was better to set expectations on this one.

Even if the possibility was sufficient, I started thinking that it would fail in any case.

If you have expectations, you won’t be disappointed in the end.

Even if it was impossible to have such a mind at all, it was better to put your mind at ease than to be disappointed in something.

It was quiet inside the carriage.

Since they probably knew that they would arrive at their destination soon, each of them must have been thinking about this or that.

Mirajen will think about artifacts, and Adrian will do the same.

But maybe Adele’s thoughts are about me.

He sighs, remembering that he had just been leaning on Adele’s shoulder.

It was something I thought of before.

It’s just that I fell asleep because I was tired, but it was true that I remembered the past with Adele, even for a moment.

Lately, the memories of the people around me have been blooming little by little.

Like a seed waiting to sprout, it is finally blooming in this 101st life.

I don’t know what this means.

Maybe I’m just giving it meaning, maybe it’s just a coincidence.

…By the way, what if.

If this really means anything. I wondered what I would face in this coffin of memories.

Who will go into the coffin with, who will recall forgotten memories through my return.

That was the most curious.

Dagdak-

The carriage moves.

Even while I was lost in thought, even while Mirazen was looking at me with a strange gaze.

Regardless of that thought, I continued to move toward my destination.

It felt like the relic of the memory crown was constantly circling my head.

I also thought about the moon stone and the coffin of memory, two artifacts that seemed to be a pair.

If there is such a thing as fate, where will it lead me?

No matter how many times I thought about it, it seemed certain that I couldn’t find an answer right away.

“Was there a tower here too?”

“Originally, this was the capital of the empire. There is only one saintess now, but weren’t there many people with that ability before?”

The southern depths were one of the most prosperous in the Empire.

If national power had not declined, it would still have been the capital.

However, now it is only the land of the different races.

In a place where the national power of the empire does not dare reach, if there is any consolation, it would be that these towers have been well preserved.

Even so, a few relics were not found.

Seeing the tower stretching towards the sky, Adele nodded. It wasn’t as tall as the wall tower.

The Wall Tower was built to commemorate the saintess who reappeared after a very long time.

Compared to the past, when saints were overflowing, they had no choice but to build more prosperously.

“It seems certain that there are artifacts here. Perhaps, according to the record, it seems correct that it is in the tower, but I don’t know if that is the coffin of memory.”

Mirazen’s eyes narrowed. The location of the artifact had to be looked at throughout the tower.

He must have spent quite a bit of time looking at all the towers he came to, so he was probably thinking about it.

I think it will take two days.

Although the previous tower was a bit longer, this one was very spacious.

If my memory is correct, the memory coffin was down here.

I think it probably won’t have much effect, but I think I should check it out.

Maybe this time it might be a little different.

I want to check that possibility. If I had to explain why I went to the coffin of memory.

“I will go upstairs. I was downstairs last time.”

He nodded at Mirazen’s words. I was thinking of heading straight down.

As long as you know roughly where you are, there will be no need to delay.

As I was about to stride toward the tower, I suddenly wondered how Adele and Adrian were moving.

Adele shook her head as she made eye contact with me.

Are you saying you’re going upstairs? I don’t think I’ll move with Miragen, so I thought I’d probably move alone.

Adrian naturally grabbed my arm.

Mirazen stared at it blankly, but there was nothing to be ashamed of because she didn’t embrace it like last time.

“I’ll go downstairs with Robert. That sounds like a good number.”

“I see. Adrian will be taken care of by me.”

I had no intention of leaving her alone anyway.

Adele surprisingly didn’t seem to have much thought about me going with Adrian.

Mirazen’s gaze caught a glimpse, but that was all, and there was no one to stop me, so I started walking towards the tower again.

I was the first to enter the tower.

Mirazen followed, took out a wad of paper from her bosom, and headed upwards.

After Mirazen disappeared, I started walking downstairs, searching for memories.

“There are more stairs than I thought.”

“Unlike the Wall Tower, it seems to be deeper underground. Maybe it’s because of the artifacts?”

“Do you know about the Memory Coffin?”

After thinking about that question for a while, I answered yes because I didn’t think there was a need to hide it.

It was information managed by the imperial family and the church, but wouldn’t it be strange that I, already close to the crown prince and the church, knew about the relic?

And the opponent was Adrian.

To hide something, because I was stabbed by my conscience.

“I know that it is an object that helps to find forgotten memories. Perhaps that’s why Her Highness the Princess is trying to use it.”

It’s not just about securing it.

The secret of the empire that can be glimpsed through the coffin of memory,

Knowing a little about this millennial empire could change a lot.

Maybe it’s on par with Keitel, who became the emperor.

It was also the memory I had seen with Miragen before.

The secrets that the imperial family tried to hide, and the various objects created by the god of the moon.

However, that is what I heard through Miragen’s explanation.

At the time, I could only see part of the memory displayed by the Memory Coffin.

Because the voice of lack of qualifications was vivid.

Mirazen could see clearly, but I realized that only the royal family could see it properly in what I could hardly see.

Of course, since I found a way to destroy him later, I should be able to use that method this time.

As I strode down, Adrian looked at me with a strange expression.

It might seem a little strange.

It would be nice to go a little slower to find the artifacts, but aren’t they advancing as if they knew their destination?

If you find the coffin of memory, you will forget everything.

Since there were only stairs and walls blocking all sides anyway, Adrian erased the question from his expression as he touched the surroundings with his hand.

“How much further do we have to go?”

“I do not know. Maybe… I don’t think there’s much left.”

As he groped for the wall, a brick rattled as he pressed it against his hand.

I remember probably around here.

If you press the brick here and turn it, the device will disappear and the relics stored in this tower will appear.

Kugoogu Palace-

At the momentary vibration, Adrian grabbed my arm tightly.

The tower, which had been shaking wildly as if everything around it was collapsing, became quiet in an instant.

Adrian opened his mouth to the tower, which had become quiet again, as if what had just happened was just an illusion.

“…what was that? Besides, the feeling is different. Could it be that you found the artifact?”

“It seems so.”

After hearing my words, Adrian’s gaze moved slowly.

I think she must have felt it by now.

A cavity beyond, a cavity reborn within it.

The empty space itself was a relic.

A room that brings back forgotten memories, a space called the coffin of memory.

Adrian stuttered and slowly reached inward.

The space where the wall had been had disappeared before I knew it, and there was only a path leading to the cavity beyond the complex.

Feeling the hand passing through the air, Adrian opened his mouth blankly.

Now, as if she clearly felt the aura of the artifact, a pure white glow began to emerge from her body little by little.

“It is a natural reaction. I didn’t notice it even after coming this far, but I can’t believe it’s hidden in a place like this.”

“Didn’t the church not know where it was?”

“I don’t know exactly about the Holy Land. I’m sure His Holiness the Pope knows… but this is the first time I’ve seen the relic in person.”

Artifacts are usually known in the form of tools.

The moonstone I used was also in the shape of an hourglass, and most of them were usable items such as swords and armor.

However, the coffin of memory was different.

Since this space itself was a relic, Adrian exclaimed as he stepped inside.

“This is the first time I have seen such pure divine power. So… should I say that I feel like there is one more person here?”

I also sympathized with him. It was different from before when I didn’t feel any sensation. The moonstone that still exists inside me was reacting. Just like when he felt Theresia, magical energy that continued to resonate slowly flowed around him.

“…okay.”

While muttering quietly, his eyes narrowed in a strange sensation.

different. what? I can’t be sure about it, but

My senses, having come here several times, were clearly conveying something different to me in this episode.

My heart raced. I realized that I was feeling uneasy with the thumping and thumping pulsation.

I have only stepped into this coffin, so why do I feel uneasy?

I felt something strange and tried to escape.

It was the moment he was about to grab Adrian’s arm and tell him that it might be good to leave for a while.

thud.

That low echo told me one thing.

The door to this coffin, which had been open until just now, had been closed.

Even when he hurriedly approached and touched the wall, there was no sign that the coffin would open again.

Was the uneasiness I just felt meant to let you know?

Even when I touched the wall, my head shook quietly.

“no.”

The anxiety I felt still hasn’t gone away.

It was as if they were warning of what was to come.

As I was thinking about what it was, I heard Adrian’s voice in my ear.

“Robert, can you look up for a minute? I feel like I can feel strong energy from above.”

“Nothing above-.”

At the same time, when I looked up, I laughed at the bright light that was about to emanate from there.

It was the glow that came out when the coffin of memory was activated.

Does it move even though it doesn’t do anything, just step in?

I looked at it in vain, then I saw the glow slowly enveloping the surroundings.

What you can see in the coffin of memory is a memory made of fantasy.

Because what that radiance depicts is about the forgotten memories of the empire.

However, the scenery seen in the light was different from what I knew.

He had seen the imperial palace when he was telling the secret to the imperial family, but it wasn’t there this time.

The scenery was so familiar that even for a moment, it was mistaken that the Crown of Memory had been activated incorrectly.

The forest I saw somewhere, the faces I saw somewhere.

No, it was me who thought it was a face I had seen somewhere.

Not the me who is standing now, but the old me that even I vaguely remember.

Laughter leaked out of nowhere, and I blankly gazed at the scene with the corners of my mouth twisted.

It seemed certain that this life was special.

In this miracle where things that never happened happened in succession, I might have been rather stupid to deny it.

now, finally I felt like I could admit that.

It was clear that this 101st life was something different.

The scenery shown in the coffin of memory was about my death.

forgotten memories.

Wouldn’t that be wrong.
