Worn And Torn Newbie

Worn And Torn Newbie chapter 673
I'll wait at the top (3)

Dahee Yoo.

She sat quietly in the corner of the darkened semi-basement studio.

It's okay to not be in the sun. Even if I did, I would have closed the curtains and turned off the lights.

Dahee Yu raised her head buried between her knees.

The silhouette in the dark, the inside of the room is dimly visible.

An empty room with no furniture.

When Dahee Yu moved in, she threw everything away.

I threw away all the furniture that was even a little exposed on TV and the interior accessories I loved so much.

no. There was one thing left that I couldn't throw away.

Dahee Yu looked at the object in the center of the room.

It was a single axe.

An ax made of 24k gold and platinum, the tip of the handle is studded with diamonds and sparkles.

On the pedestal with the ax

Level 70, the commemoration of breaking through the section of the demon was engraved.

It is a souvenir that Dahee Yu sent from the headquarters of Dem after catching Leviathan.

I threw it all away, but for some reason I couldn't throw it away and brought it with me.

"..huh."

Yoo Da-hee takes her eyes off the souvenir

He buried his head in his knee again.

What would you do if you made a great achievement in the game? Reality is a gutter.

she lost everything

I stopped playing games, stopped broadcasting, stopped human relationships, and ended all outside activities in reality.

I don't watch TV and I can't access the internet.

All digital devices such as cell phones were cut off.

This is because malicious comments of blasphemy or sexual harassment ran countless times a day, and voyeuristic messages disguised as good comments piled up like crazy.

People who judge body or face, people claiming to be classmates from a school they've never attended, people who have been childhood friends for a long time and don't know anything about them, people who pretend to be comforting and work hard, what did you expect so much from yourself?

People who were disappointed at first, streamers or gamers who had a competitive relationship .

Still, it wasn't that there weren't people who reached out to Yu Da-hee, but I couldn't hold her because I was afraid that I would cause harm to them by holding her hand for nothing.

All she could do was leave everything like this and escape into the dark.

Dahee Yu is alone in the dark

was opening

If there is no light for a long time, the distinction between whether this is a dream or reality, whether sleeping or awake is blurred.

' cold.'

Dahee Yu shook her body once.

In an instant, a warm spot of warmth flashed into her mind.

It was someone's back.

Dahee Yu raised her head for a moment.

She was unaware of her feelings now.

A complicated mind that she does not even know has been bewildering her mind for several days.

" Am I regretting now?"

In the place of the Demon King, no, the deceased, no, the next Jin, the Leviathan's final death was met instead.

Was it really a good thing?

I don't know if he did well, but he thought that if he could go back to that moment, he would have done the same thing.

At that time, all I could think about was that I really had to protect him.

respect? lover? It was not such a simple feeling.

Dahee Yu thought that what moved her was something bigger than them.

'Yeah, maybe it was for history. The history of the game world.'

A great superman who broadens the horizons of history as a gamer

Wasn't it a sense of duty for him to have opened the way for him?

no.

Now that I think about it, I don't think it was because of that very reason.

So what?

Yoo Da-hee was thinking of a nightmare in a nightmare.

The memories of the past that come to mind in the semi-basement closet are about the lucid dreamer's ears that I met during the Killers' Top Raid.

Another deceased person I met in the nightmare.

Was it mid to late 30's? Yoo Da-hee was shocked when she saw that he had become a delinquent and was in a semi-basement studio.

In real life, this is how you keep winning

Why is the inside of such a great man so weak and humble?

Always perfect, always great, always great... That is why, in the dream of that child who was always mean, he was so old, powerless, and pitiful There was a man with a lot of wounds.

Is that so?

When Leviathan was using his last evil tool, he had a thought that he had to protect this man.

A man who reigns over the world and always looks strong and firm, but in reality he is a soft man. You know, a man full of scars.

It seemed very heartbreaking to see that weak and tender inner side being chewed and torn by everyone and reduced to mere gossip.

So, Dahee Yu stepped forward without even knowing herself.

instead of the wounds.

And as a result, everything was lost.

But Dahee Yu never regretted it.

The opponent climbed on top of him and flew higher and became a brilliant star.

And he, who gave his whole body for it, became a rag and sank to the bottom like this.

Nevertheless, Dahee Yu will not overturn her decision at that time.

Even if I go back to that moment.

" It's a little sad though.

It's sad to lose that favorite game.

But what about it? His face, his identity, and everything else had already been uncovered.

Live without any shame in the past

It's his own fault that he didn't come.

"That's it You are in a similar situation to the deceased person you met in the belly of an angler before."

Dahee Yu smiled bitterly.

The deceased person in his mid to late 30s whom he met in the womb of a lucid dreamcatcher was also in a similar situation to the one he is now.

A man who has lost everything and is alone in the dark.

A woman isolated in the dark with everything lost.

Only then did Yu Da-hee understand the late character of that time.

Although it was not known why he was in such a situation, at least he seemed to be able to sympathize with how he felt at the time.

Suddenly, the words of another Yoo Da-hee, whom I met in the nightmare, came to my mind.

comes to mind in

3期 Do you understand now? So, don't do revamps, but go ahead and take blood and tears from other people's eyes as you always do, because that's perfect for your life like a gutter.'

Suddenly, both eyes feel like burning. When I said something, tears seemed to come out.

" I can't. I need a potion of courage."

I can't stand this huge wave of emotions with my bare body.

In order to survive even through doping, Yoo Da-hee took a money out of her pocket and staggered to get up.

She went out to buy a drink.

The sun felt warm.

It seemed like everyone walking by was looking at this side.

Dahee Yu put on her hat and often walked out of the villa.

then.

Hui Yi-ing-

A strong wind blew once.

The black hat he had been holding on to was removed and rolled onto the road.

Ugh!?,,

Dahee Yu was startled, picked up the hat and put it back on.

who saw it

My body shudders and my hands and feet tremble.

She looked around with fear.

Some college students who seemed to have seen this place just before heard a chuckle behind a power pole over there.

'Hey, isn't that X that Dahee Yu?'

'Ah, the woman whose identity was stolen back then? Have you ever bought one around here?'

'That's him~ XX ... XX, XXX. Let's try XXX and XXX... '

noise in the ear

Yoo Da-hee turned and ran with a blue tired face.

I wanted to go home right away, but the escape route was blocked.

It is unavoidable.

Before long, the first destination appeared before her eyes.

It's a pretty big mart, but not here.

This is because he once pretended to know whether a part-timer who counts at the counter liked the game. Did I say cheering and cheering?

In the end, the place that Dahee Yoo chose was the alley.

It was a shabby neighborhood supermarket where you had to go back a little.

"Where is the frozen pork belly and kimchi from your in-laws? Twenty-two thousand and six hundred won."

Grandma was engrossed in the drama on the small TV and roughly held out her hand.

Yoo Da-hee put three bottles of soju next to him.

"Tsuk, a young wife and wife have been drinking since broad daylight.

so much... Let's see where even soju is, twenty-five thousand... Five hundred and sixty won."

Grandma started to focus on the drama again.

Yu Da-hee, who was trying to calculate, thought for a moment.

This seemed to be a bit lacking.

" This too."

"Hey, what! put it together

What appeared in front of Grandma's eyes were five bottles of soju.

" W, eight bottles? No, what else is that?"

But this is not the end.

thud!

What Dahee Yu finally put on the counter was eight bottles of soju and a large bottle of soju.

There were two barrels of Dahran soaking wine.

She didn't want to live that long, so she decided to just do what she wanted.

However. Still, there was something she didn't do.

It was just smoking.

"Ah, a bastion

Yoo Da-hee, who was just about to buy a cigarette,

An image immediately comes to mind in my mind.

It was candy and chocolates neatly packed in an ashtray.

Long ago, after the auction of King Madong's cherished items, King Madong had it when he opened the car's ashtray handle to empty the ashtray.

' , No, it's been a while since I quit smoking and it's not good for my body... Later, they say that it is not good for the baby, and '

'no!? A baby is not that kind of baby! I'm a little too busy to take care of babies during my teenage years./ Oh, of course, not mine! No, no, just because cigarettes are children and adults and everything is bad... !'

Naturally, I also remember the text message from King Ma that I received that night.

'You put me up here

It makes me sad to think that I'm far away by myself.

OK.

suddenly.

without delusion.

Tears are pouring out

Tears that spilled out without notice quickly form a stem and drip down to the tip of the chin through the cheeks.

was small

Embarrassed, Yu Da-hee quickly turned around and left the supermarket.

"Have some change!"

When she just ran out of Super.

...

A face he had never thought of appeared before his eyes.

continued.

No, are you looking at something in vain?

Are you still dreaming here?

Seeing Ie-jin in front of me with her mouth twitching like a goldfish, I wondered if I was still in Hahae.

In fact, even now, this place is in the game, lying in the sea, and he had a long dream in the short moment just before logging out.

I thought it wasn't

but soon. reality is recognized

., phut/

Dahee Yu threw away everything she had in her hand and started running around.

Tears run down my cheeks and flow.

'Honestly, I voluntarily created a fan club, isn't it presumptuous to feel betrayed?'

After all, wasn't it just a fan 1 who bothered me?'

'You must have been winning, but have you already forgotten something like me?'

But now he came here.

Countless questions, remorse, and heartache disappeared at once as if they would explode the moment I saw his face.

However, since he didn't even know what kind of bizarre expression he was making now, Dahee Yu turned around and ran away.

After running for a while, Dahee Yu felt that the road was quiet for a moment and slowed down for a while.

' ?'

uh? But is it too quiet even if the surroundings are quiet?

He was worried about what would happen if he chased after him and grabbed his wrist at any moment.

swipe...

Dahee Yu slowed her speed a little and looked back slowly.

That moment.

" Whoa!"

She couldn't help but burst into laughter just as she cried.

Standing water.

I could see him running down the incline with an unsightly, distorted expression on his face.

Even if you run and run, you can feel the pain in your side, in a bent posture

shape that wraps around the waist.

He had a really, really bad stamina to the extent that even the one who cried was funny.
