#89. Memories of the beginning (2)
“Memories of the beginning…?”
Damdeok muttered without realizing it and quickly closed his mouth.
The eyes of Grandmother Samsin and her companions were all turned towards them.
“Ah…”
I thought for a moment.
It didn’t take long to decide what to do.
“thank you! The system has been completely overhauled! haha!”
Damdeok bowed ninety degrees towards Grandmother Samsin.
Only then did Grandmother Samsin and her companions’ faces turn bright colors.
[It’s only natural. I worked hard.]
“Wow, it was great! “It’s finally over!!”
“You evil business owner, it was really hard this time. “You will have to prepare twice as much meat for the banquet as usual.”
– will! will!
Baekgureum, Adele Sharon, and even Baekseol all smiled brightly.
Ju Soo-yul sighed in relief and quietly muttered.
“I’m glad. Now that the system has been fixed, I can go on my next journey.”
The faces of Baekgureum and Adele Sharon, who had been excited by her words, instantly hardened.
“What kind of horrible things are you saying… I need to rest for at least a week and then move on…”
“Okay. Soyul, please save your sister… Isn’t this all just to make a living?…”
But Jooyul was cold-hearted.
“A war between the gods might break out tomorrow and we might all die. Is now the time to relax?”
“No, but let’s get some rest…”
“Even if you go, a piece of meat is okay… right?”
Even in the face of white clouds and Adele Sharon’s bright eyes, Ju Soo-yul just maintained an expressionless expression throughout.
Grandmother Samsin, who was stroking Baekseol, who was lying on her stomach in the field, burst out laughing when she saw that.
[It looks like the co-workers are getting along really well.]
“That’s not true!!”
“no!!”
[Holholhol. [Guys.]
Taking advantage of the somewhat friendly(?) atmosphere, Damdeok quietly went under the willow tree and opened the system.
“Ah, I guess there are new updates as the system is being fixed. “I’ll take a look.”
Damdeok smiled at his companions and even waved their hands, then read again the message that immediately came to mind.
[I faced the memories of the beginning.]
[From now on, I can open the memories of my past life.]
[Would you like to view the memories?]
‘Past life… Do you really mean there was such a thing?’
For some reason, my heart was pounding.
I had the feeling that perhaps the things that Jo Soo-yul had always hidden under the name of goodness were written here.
‘Of course, I know that it wasn’t with evil intentions that you hid it from me…’
Still, I was curious.
“Good. Then…”
Damdeok swallowed dryly and touched the browse button.
[Ep.01 Memories of the beginning.]
Creation of life blooms. This was my first memory.
I was born as the parent of all things and lived in the beginning of time in a state of perfect nothingness.
When I turned 1 year old, I realized that there were 100 children born with me, and those 100 were the only ones alive on this earth.
When I was two years old, I decided to work with my brothers to achieve prosperity in this land.
When I was three years old, my siblings and I realized that there were beings called gods other than us on this earth.
When he was 4 years old, he was summoned to the gods of this land and received many blessings, and was given a bouquet of joys and sorrows as a gift from a place called the Spring of the Beginning.
When we turned 5, we were given the official title of by them.
…(syncopation).
It was a series of incredibly happy and peaceful moments.
We did not feel lacking in anything, and all the gods in the world loved humans and treated them kindly.
Living days filled with joy, when I turned 2700, I was called by the god of death.
Darkness, peace, peace. This was my last memory.
– Yu Dam-deok’s first record –
“What? “This… is this really my past life?”
There were too many stories described in a vague manner than I expected, and it was full of words whose meaning I couldn’t quite understand.
In the first place, does it make sense for people to live to be 2,700 years old?
‘It’s not some kind of Dangun myth….’
Moreover, since it was said to be a memory from a past life, I thought it must be the past, but it was still too much…
“It’s too much of the past! According to what it says here, I’m one of the first humans on Earth?!”
Isn’t this a strange story, like something you would see in a book about the creation of heaven and earth?
But there was one thing that particularly stood out.
“When I was four years old, I was summoned by the gods of this land and received many blessings, and was given a bouquet of joys and sorrows as a gift from a place called the spring of the beginning.” “I can’t believe
these words….”
Naturally, a memory from a little while ago came to mind.
A child who looked exactly like himself, smiling as he accepted a bouquet of flowers from a woman.
The identity of that child…
“Are you saying it’s me?”
her. I burst out laughing at the absurdity.
Even after reading and rereading, the conclusion was the same.
He said he was one of the 100 people from the beginning and lived until the age of 2,700 before dying.
And
“Memories of past lives are not just memories of the beginning.”
What I read was literally the first record. After that, there were a total of 1868 more locked memories.
This meant that he was a human being who had been reincarnated 1869 times.
“Really… this is hitting the nail on the head.”
I didn’t know if this was all true or not.
Of course, it makes no sense for the system to lie, but it was also uncomfortable to blindly believe such a story.
What is certain, however, is that I feel strongly that I need to find out what these ridiculous memories mean.
Damdeok’s intuition was telling him strongly.
I think if we dig into this, it will be easier to stop the war between the gods.
In addition
, ‘the reason why I suddenly awakened as a non-talented person, the war of gods, and even everything about the 12 guardians in the prophecy spoken of by Jooyul….’
“You might find out.”
Damdeok nodded slowly and looked at the system window.
[Ep.02 Memories are locked.]
[Ep.03 Memories are locked.]
[Ep.04 Memories are locked.]
….
A lot of unreadable memories that I haven’t read yet.
One message after another came to my mind that in order to open locked memories, I had to contact fragments of related memories.
“It’s a fragment of memory… Should I have a dream like before?”
Damdeok carefully scrolled down, thinking of various options.
“uh? “This is open, right?”
Another episode, the only one among them that is open.
[Ep.1001 Defeating Asmodeus.]
“Asmodeus.”
A vivid memory comes to mind.
When I encountered Asmodeus in the Demon World, I think the contact I had with him at that time was recognized as a fragment of memory and the lock was unlocked.
‘Then everything I saw in the dream I had back then… is my past life?’
Scenes where he was fighting with Ju Ju-yul anytime, anywhere.
Damdeok recalled the dream from that time and clicked on the 1001st memory with a faintly trembling finger.
[Ep.1001 Defeating Asmodeus.]
In this life, I awakened at the age of 31.
I was worried because it felt a little late compared to the average, but I am happy to record that it has been a life of great achievements.
I finally got rid of that damn Asmodeus!
From the 47th life when I first encountered him to the 1000th life just before, his skin was torn off, his limbs were cut off, his internal organs exploded, and he died again and again… Finally! at las! I completely defeated him in this life!
This is truly a historic moment.
We fought fiercely for three days and nights, and he eventually bowed to me.
The complete defeat of the
If I could, I really want to remember this life forever.
After that, the Demon King selection process went smoothly…(omitted).
My head was pounding.
Unlike my first memory, which was described with some weight, it felt like a very raw and unemployed diary. What was even more shocking than that was that the content written was no different from a 19+ horror film.
“…Asmodeus killed me so many times…?”
They didn’t just kill him, they tore the skin, cut off the limbs, and dismembered the internal organs…
“Ugh.”
Thinking about it made me feel sick.
Anxiety that I had forgotten about began to bloom.
‘It says here that I defeated him… but will I be able to defeat him in this life?’
Even if I just imagined it for a moment, my body becomes stiff with fear.
Because of this damn fear, I couldn’t even move from the old woman in the underworld.
‘Resolving the fear is absolutely necessary… How should I solve it…’
Damdeok, who couldn’t think of a solution even after much thought, shook his head. Anyway, now it was time to set off on the next journey.
‘Anyway, the rest of the memories are still locked away…’ As soon as
Damdeok got up, Grandmother Samsin and her companions approached.
[how is it? It was fixed neatly, right? cancer. Of course~]
Grandmother Samsin said that with a confident face.
“thank you. “It helped me a lot.”
Damdeok expressed his gratitude once again.
The system has been fixed, so now I can go anywhere.
“But…”
Damdeok’s gaze turned to his companions.
There was a black flower in Ju Ju-yul’s hand. White Cloud, Adele Sharon, and even Snow White are holding black flowers in their mouths.
“What flowers are you all holding?”
“Oh this? “I heard that Grandmother Samsin is absolutely necessary to defeat Grandmother of the Underworld?”
“At that time, I wasn’t able to completely finish the Underworld Grandmother, so it will appear again soon. eww. “You obsessive grandmother…”
Baekgureum and Adele Sharon responded in disgust.
Next, Ju Ju-yul added an explanation about the flower.
“It’s an underworld flower. “If you eat it, your resistance to fear will slightly increase.”
Grandmother Samsin nodded with a gentle smile.
– will!
As soon as he finished speaking, Snow White jumped up and gently placed a black flower in her hand.
‘It increases fear resistance?’
I never thought I would get this elixir as soon as I decided to solve my fear.
There was nothing bad about it since I had fear resistance not only from the old woman in the underworld but also from anyone I encountered in the future.
Besides, if they give you this elixir for free, why would you refuse?
Damdeok took a bite of the flower.
[Fear resistance increases slightly!]
Although it is slight, I feel like I have gained an unknown amount of confidence.
okay. That’s right… but I also felt something was missing.
Should I say I’m still a little angry?
Samsinhalmi, who was watching, said.
[It’s not enough, right? In order to fight that mean old woman without getting discouraged, you have to chew about 20 flowers of the underworld…]
“Then, can you give me a little more?”
Damdeok shamelessly said that, but Grandmother Samsin shook her head.
[The flowers of the underworld are an elixir that crackles when humans eat more than one. Can you still eat them?] As soon as
Grandma Samsin said that, Baekgureum and Adele Sharon spit out the flowers of the underworld that they were chewing.
[Inums! What a waste! Quickly pick it up and eat it!]
“Huh?!”
“no, I do not want! “Why are you feeding me such dangerous food?”
“Tsk tsk tsk! “Ana, I ate the big flower on purpose…!!”
Damdeok was alone in his thoughts as he watched his companions making a fuss.
‘It’s still not enough. If Grandmother of the Underworld appears again in this state…’
Even then, isn’t it possible to rely on Grandmother of the Three Gods?
You will be able to engage in a proper battle only if you develop your fear immunity to the point where you don’t freeze at least once when you make eye contact.
“Is there any other way to increase fear resistance?”
In response to Damdeok’s serious question, Samsin Halmi took the group to the edge of the cliff.
[If you work in the Western Death Flower Field for 100 years, you can gain some level of fear resistance. Even if you don’t eat the flowers of the underworld, you will be able to develop fear resistance to the point where you can stand up to that old woman.]
“100 years?!”
Adele Sharon hehe! He opened his mouth and asked.
“It will never last 100 years! By then, you’ll be a grandfather! “I have the body to become the strongest swordsman!”
Baekgureum was also disgusted and took a step back.
The expressions of Ju Ju-yul and Dam-deok were also the same.
‘It’s ridiculous to work in a flower garden for 100 years.’
I was grateful for Samsin Halmi’s kindness, but I had to find another way.
If I don’t develop resistance to fear as soon as possible, I won’t be able to face not only the grandmother of the underworld, but also Asmodeus later…
‘There must be a way.’
It was then.
A ray of light appeared before Damdeok’s pondering eyes.
