My Viins Episode 220


    47. Nightmare (2)


    The vibration that started at the extremities prated deep into the body.


    As I was concentrating on my senses because I couldn’t see anything, the vibration turned into a strange force and pulled me up.


    I was able to instinctively realize that my consciousness was abandoning the heavy body and floating


    .


    What I felt at the same time as that realization was an unbearable fear.


    What would happen if I lost my body like this?


    Are you wandering in this dark world where you can’t see anything? forever?


    If you lose forever the senses you enjoyed while moving your body and never return to the world where your body existed…


    How is that different from the end of the world?


    Even when my mind is clouded, I suddenly feel funny.


    Before the realization that ‘losing the body is like the end of the world’, there was a notion that ‘losing the body is death’. This led to the conclusion that ‘death is the end of the world’.


    Then what the hell was I doing? Fearing the end of the world, risking your life to prevent it.


    If, while wandering at the crossroads of life and death in order to save the world, you take the wrong step and end up dying, wouldn’t that be hastening the end?


    Even if one day the Dark World swallowed the present world, all I would experience would be death at most. Wouldn’t it be better to eat well in a ce where there is no danger?


    then where?


    …Well, although Lavalton is my manor, it’s a strange ce and it’s a bit too rural, so I’d prefer South Harbor. You can work as a hanryang at the Boathorn Inn… no, no. I’m going to open a shop nearby with the money I’ve saved up so far.


    I’m going to spend a lot of staff to see the store, and I’ll have to take Ellen and Mungchi Daria to y.


    And when Ellen is a few years older, they get married. It’s a world where you can have multiple wives, so I’ll take Mungchi and Daria as wives, and when Baron Mallory dies, I’ll bring back Dionea from Longville. If the opportunity arises, I will also call Atnta.


    Hey, I have five wives. If you put your mind to it, you could even make a ser team?


    …Oh no. Giving birth to a child when you know the end ising, what a shame.


    I’d rather just live happily with my wives and die clean.


    In the midst of such a delusion, the senses transmitted to consciousness have changed.


    The upward floating feeling disappears as if it were washed away, and you feel a gravitational force pulling it left and right.


    …Uh uh uh X-arm What is this?


    The manpower grew stronger in an instant.


    Then I felt terrible pain as if my limbs were being torn apart, and I screamed at my throat.


    But with no limbs to tear, no throat to bleed, no mouth to scream, my screams only echoed within the conscious world.


    Like that, I was split in half like a boiled egg or a ripe fruit. Something as precious as the body, or more than the body, was about half gone.


    I screamed silently, but I suddenly felt gravity. It feels like an invisible hand is gripping the crotch and pulling.


    A dizzying sensation, like a roller coaster slowly climbing down the track and falling down a steep slope.


    At the end of that fall, I lost something precious and settled down in my longing body.


    sh. sh.


    when youe to your senses.


    I hear my eyelids falling up and down. The surroundings were so quiet that even the slightest sound could be heard clearly.


    The smell of alcohol and medicine stung my nostrils.


    I blinked three or four more times to clear my foggy mind, and finally I began to see properly.


    When I looked up at the unfamiliar ceiling, I said,


    “…X-arm, what is it?” In bewilderment, swearing springs out.


    It wasn’t an iron chandelier or antern filled with candle oil hanging from the ceiling.


    It was daylight LED lighting.


    “Huh o” –9


    As if struck by lightning, he immediately stood up.


    The bed with a thick mattress, arge headboard and a low railing rattled noisily. The white cotton nket was also terribly crumpled and dripped onto the floor.


    Confusion soon turned to vignce. The loose body was pulled tight, and the blunted senses sharpened.


    I took a quick nce around the room, ready for battle.


    Luxurious wallpaper with geometric patterns engraved in gold on a dark gray background An ivory bedside table and amp with a whitempshade A front window that fills one side of the wall and neatly tied light green curtains A thin andrge TV An air purifier An air conditioner A ck grand piano… “


    Crazy This is what it is”


    I was about to go to the front window to look outside, but I heard a ‘creepy’ sound from behind.


    “Sir“”


    I quickly looked back and saw that the intravenous drip table with wheels was lying on the bed. Only then did I find a transparent rubber tube that stretched from IV to arm.


    With trembling hands, he pulled out the syringe stuck in his arm.


    There, the transparent water droplets sshed and sttered, and a smoky, sweet…something strange smell spread.


    “… Ha ha ha ha.” My head hurts like it’s about to burst, and my breath feels like it’s about to pass.


    The pungent smell from the syringe, the hospital room that looked like it was renovated from a hotel, the grassy yard and the front window overlooking the high wall, the grand piano that made a beautiful sound.


    He pressed his head and chest.


    Fortunately, as I sat on the bed and took a few deep breaths, my condition quickly recovered.


    Looking around the room again, it is a spacious and luxurious bedroom that is well over 15 pyeong.


    In addition to all kinds of home appliances, this modern interior is an unbelievable space no matter how much you think about it.


    …what the heck is this?


    I clearly remember sitting on the white throne, but why did I suddenly wake up in a ce like this?


    “I’m going back, really.”


    The room itself felt odd, but the fact that it didn’t feel like there was anyone there was also odd.


    There were no people in sight except the fresh grass in the wide yard that looked out through the window.


    Even beyond the high fence, all I could see were broad-leaved trees and mountains.


    “It looks like Korea.”


    Probably right. The logos engraved on electronic products were also familiar, and the mountains seen from afar gave off a somewhat familiar feeling.


    Wait a minute. Could this be?


    Suddenly, a thought shed through my mind and I jumped up. Then I ran like flying into the bathroom next to the door leading to the hallway.


    …but how do you know this is a bathroom? Did you guess that it was because the structure was simr to that of the hospital room?


    For a while, I think.


    Looking into the clean mirror in the bathroom, my confusion increased.


    “Ah,


    what I saw through the mirror was arge man in a neat gray suit.


    It means that it was not Kim Seung-soo, who was 173 cm and less than 70 kg, but Phoenix, a blood knight who was about 20 cm taller and about 30 kg heavier than him.


    “… .Whew.”


    At that moment, I imagined that the time I had adventures as Phoenix was all a dream, and now I woke up and came back as Kim Seung-soo, but it seems that is not the case.


    Oddly enough, the relief was greater than the disappointment. I wonder if, without realizing it, I felt quite attached to my life as Phoenix rather than my life as Kim Seung-soo.


    When I turn on the water to wash my face, a smilees out. Blood Knight Phoenix washing his face in the bathroom.


    “Ha, this is a hit. Is it a dream?” Cooling down your head with cold water will also ease your confusion.


    Not only Hrunting, but also other armaments such as the dragon yer’s seal, the Death King’s scale handcuffs, and the scale belt all disappeared, leaving him bare-handed… but still, his


    heart was very calm.


    Whether it is here in Korea or in my dreams, it is because of my confidence that there will be no danger in the near future as long as I have my body back.


    I looked around the room again and pulled out the stainless steel pole of the IV stand from the wheel frame. And by removing the sap holder at the top, even though it was thin and light, a weapon that was enough to kill a person waspleted.


    I was about to leave the visit with a stainless rod, but an indescribable ominous sense of déjà vu clung to my ankle.


    “Huh-”


    He took a deep breath and raised his blood. The blood full of magical power circted throughout the body, energizing it and signaling that there was no abnormality at the same time.


    A handful of hesitation disappeared like melting snow, and I immediately opened the door.


    A clunk—the silver doorknob turned softly. The hinges barely made a sound, perhaps because they were oiled.


    A wide and long hallway spread out in front of me.


    Soft floors meticulouslyid with checkered carpets. High ceilings with acrylic lights. Long dark gray wallpaper.


    Except for about a dozen or so wooden doors with the same original pattern as my room door, nothing stood out.


    It was a cozy hallway.


    I thought for a moment about raising my voice across the hallway that stretched all the way to the left, but soon gave up.


    ‘hey! Is anyone there-?’ My instincts wouldn’t allow me to make such stupid noises. It must be because the strange silence that spreads everywhere stimted the vignce to the fullest.


    Swallowing the saliva and flesh in his mouth at once, he quietly moved on.


    Wearing only gray clothes that barely felt the weight, bare feet and a soft carpet on the floor. The Gilgo sheep on the hunt would probably be louder than me now.


    Moving secretly like that, I looked at the hallway to the right. The only thing I could see to see if my room was thest room in this hallway was the passage leading to the terrace.


    The terrace and the corridor were separated by a ss door finished with a white wooden frame.


    Beyond that, I could see empty tables and chairs, a neatly shaped railing, a high wall and a grassy yard.


    Judging from the front window and this terrace, it seems that this ce is on the 3rd and 4th floors.


    rattle.


    I carefully turned the doorknob, but it was locked.


    Well, I think I can forcefully twist it and break it… but I think it’s better not to do that now.


    Then, head into the hallway on the left.


    I pricked my ears as I walked, but I didn’t hear anything even after passing the fifth door


    .


    – I heard.


    the sound of something moving. Looking at the faint sound, it seems that there is a little distance.


    “….”good.”


    let’s see what it is


    I moved a little faster while holding on to the stainless rod.


    Thanks to thebination of the lightweight body and the soft carpet of calloused bare feet, there was no sound while moving almost as if running.


    I reached the end of the hallway, but I saw a corner, not stairs.


    How many crazy rooms are there? If the rattling sound had stopped once, I would have been a little confused about where it originated, but the unknown sound continued to be heard at regr intervals.


    When I reached the fourteenth room, I heard another rattle.


    Here you are.


    After taking a quick look around, I put my ear to the wooden door.


    “Keuh uhh-”


    A suffocating breath. it belonged to a man


    The man in the room breathed heavily and then


    shouted ‘Sigh!’ I let out a spirited moan, and every time I did, a rattling sound was heard.


    What the hell are you doing to make that noise? My imagination exploded…


    After a moment of hesitation, I put my hand on the silver doorknob. Then, very slowly, silently, the fourteenth door was opened.


    The 14th room had a simr general atmosphere to the one I was in, but it was less than half the size.


    There was no air purifier or grand piano, and the bed the many on was a single bed much smaller than the one I was lying on.


    “Ugh heh!”


    The man didn’t notice me. Because he was wearing an eyepatch.


    No, it wasn’t just an eyepatch.


    He was wearing a rope muzzle and was wearing a long-sleeved straitjacket, tied to the bed with a belt-like cord.


    The rattling I heard was the sound he made as he stirred and moved the bed.


    I wonder what this person is, wondering if he is lying here


    .


    “……call?”


    “Huh, Four Phoenix-sama?”


    “What are you? Why are you here?”


    Archer Cole gasped for breath with a confused look on his face. In the meantime, as if trying to get used to the fluorescent light, he blinked incessantly and looked around in all directions.


    “Where is this ce?”


    “I don’t know either. I remember sitting on the throne- no, I’ll release this first.”


    Saying that, I quickly loosened the buckle on the restraint line, but Cole opened his mouth with an urgent face.


    “Where are the others?”


    “…others?”


    “After Phoenix-nim sat on the throne, strange things happened. Kelsenne tricked us.”


    oh Mr. Something ominous.


    “Is it strange?”


    “A ck disk came out from the throne and it tried to swallow Phoenix-sama. It stopped it and other people including me got caught up in it.” “Who


    else?”


    When I heard the names Cole called out—Ellen Utequay He—I covered my face.
