Chapter 107
Death (1)
"What do you mean…?"
Yoo Joonghyuk's voice came laced with suspicion, but Arthur did not retreat. His eyes remained steady, his tone eerily calm.
"I mean… when has that bastard ever been wrong?
Every time he speaks, every time he moves, he acts based on fixed truths that don't change."
He took a step closer, his voice sharpening.
"If he says the Flood Disaster is something you cannot defeat—
then even you… won't truly be able to defeat it."
Silence fell.
"Have you forgotten everything you've been through with that bastard?
Or are you ignoring it all just because you're a foolish regressor?"
Yoo Joonghyuk's pupils shrank.
"Think carefully. This isn't the first time."
Arthur's voice lowered, yet it grew heavier.
"Tell me…
how would you feel if you were trapped as a disaster in every one of someone's regressions?
And with each regression, you see that person hasn't progressed even a single step."
A cold smile formed on Arthur's lips.
"Would you remain loyal to him?
Or would you grow angry at his stupidity and weakness?"
He lifted his head slightly, his eyes drowning in deep darkness.
"Yoo Joonghyuk…
I'm here to watch you fall into darkness and despair once again.
Let me witness your suffering, my companion."
As his words ended, Yoo Joonghyuk's mind spiraled into chaos.
Endless possibilities clashed violently.
Was what Arthur and Kim Dokja said the truth?
Or was the truth inside the meteor?
Should he trust reality… or illusion?
At that moment—
{You are truly impatient.}
The voice came, mocking, deep, and arrogant.
{Who would have thought that the disaster the worlds tried to avoid
would be forcibly awakened by your own hands?}
The air trembled.
{Well… well.
Prepare yourselves for the disaster.}
A massive energy gathered around the red meteor.
It began to shake violently, cracks forming across its surface, then—
Light exploded.
{The Flood Disaster has awakened.}
{A new scenario has arrived.}
{Main Scenario 4: Flood Disaster
Category: Main

The meteor split in half.
And from within… a woman emerged.
Her golden hair shimmered softly under the light, and her eyes held an endless depth of time.
Yoo Joonghyuk stood before her.
"I've been waiting for you… Shin Yoosung."
She smiled faintly.
"Waiting for me?
That means… this isn't the first time."
"I need your help."
She looked at him coldly.
"Before that…
tell me, Captain—what regression is this?"
Yoo Joonghyuk sighed, as if tired of the question.
"The third regression."
The words fell like a harsh winter upon her heart.
Her gaze changed.
"Ah… so I was right."
Shin Yoosung stood firmly.
A beautiful fur coat rested upon her shoulders, her long golden hair dancing in the wind.
"That means…
despite all the information I gave you,
you failed."
"That's why I need more information."
Darkness swallowed her expression.
Her voice became terrifying—sad, and angry.
"I waited for you for thousands of years."
Her voice trembled.
"Do you understand, Captain, how much I suffered?
How painful that waiting was?"
For Yoo Joonghyuk's goal,
Shin Yoosung wandered through the labyrinth of worlds,
until she became a disaster.
Two hundred years of waiting… then sacrifice for humanity.
Another two hundred years to save the world.
And a thousand years… for the memories of a single captain.
"Enough wasting time.
Give me the important information."
'That arrogant bastard…'
Even Arthur, standing to the side, felt anger rise within him.
What Yoo Joonghyuk showed now was not leadership…
but someone who used others as tools.
"What do I represent to you… Captain?"
"What?"
Shin Yoosung raised her hand, and a majestic golden energy began to swirl around her.
"You treat people like pawns.
You throw them into dark labyrinths,
and give them nothing in return."
She smiled… a painful smile.
"I missed you, Captain.
But I can no longer remain loyal."
Her eyes blazed.
"Your third regression…
ends here."
The energy shot toward Yoo Joonghyuk.
At that moment—
Kim Dokja moved.
"Dokja! You bastard, stop—!"
But Arthur was faster.
He surged forward like madness itself, passed Kim Dokja's injured body, and shoved him away from Yoo Joonghyuk.
Then—
He felt something burn through his chest.
A deadly cold spread through his body.
He looked at Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk before him…
then downward.
There was nothing left.
His torso… was gone.
Only his chest and above remained.
His severed body fell heavily, his head striking the ground.
'Damn it… I'm… dying.'
Kim Dokja and Yoo Joonghyuk rushed toward him in panic.
"Damn you, Dokja…"
Arthur's words stumbled through a mouth filled with blood.
"Stay with me!
I'll save you, Arthur!"
"Open your eyes!"
But life was slipping away from him, slowly and mercilessly.
He tried to use a healing potion—
But—
|We're sorry, host…
Due to lack of updates, a virus has spread to the inventory.|
Arthur smiled faintly as he read the message.
"Yoo Joonghyuk…
you little bastard…
I told you… trust Dokja… and survive."
His hand fell to the ground.
Cold.
He closed his eyes…
A small, peaceful smile formed on his angelic face.
{You have died.}
