Second Protagonist [Omniscient Reader]
011 | SACRED TREE (2)

011 | 𝗣𝗢𝗛𝗢𝗡 𝗞𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗠𝗔𝗧 (2)

The moon began to rise, it beautifully hung in the sky and illuminated the earth in place of the sun, the floor bathed in green and red liquid into one is a unique (strange) sight if you can ignore the fragments of buildings that collapsed and the smell of blood scattered in the air.

Fractions of glass and iron wall chargers have collapsed, wood is broken into small pieces, cloth and thread are scattered, this picture is very similar to the picture of a broken boat. The shop had collapsed and left dust flying into the air, because it was inside a not too big alley, the collapsed building had blocked the road.

The white clump that floated in the air observed the person pushing the boulder over it with wide eyes, according to his estimation and of course common sense, he should not have been able to resolve this.

It's gonna end here.

(“I-ini!?")

[A number of constellations are staring at you with wide eyes]

Bihyung could not be blamed for this, he could confirm that this person had been swallowed by the sacred tree, and no one was recorded as having survived after getting inside.

The sacred tree has a special feature to absorb whatever energy belongs to the prey that enters its mouth, the more the prey fights to break free, the faster the death. Along with the absorbed energy, the special liquid produced from the belly of the tree would shatter iron let alone meat. The liquid is highly corrosive and harmful to living things.

Along with the question of confusion dokkaebi Bihyung, a scenario notification message appears.

“Uwekk .”

The person who came out from the ruins instantly vomited blood and pumped his body so as not to fall to the ground with his two elbows, the disgusting green liquid that enveloped his body fell to the ground and let out a strange sound.

Sssss. . .

The liquid that touched the shop floor made a noise and even a hint of white smoke, a hole immediately formed on it.

Unlike before, the person no longer blocked the red liquid from his mouth from coming out, he spewed it out and soaked the floor below with blood.

A healing bottle appeared in front of him, its size was not large, and a green liquid could be seen within it. Looking at the color of the liquid, the pair of eyes of that person were filled with displeasure.

'I'm tired of the green'

It starts with green grasshoppers, trees, blood and fluids as well. . .

Reluctantly, he held it with both of his trembling palms, but he forgot that there was green liquid all over his body that was corrosive.

He immediately pulled out his hand and released the cracked bottle and the liquid leaked out. A glass crack around the bottle and the water in it that suddenly evaporates (?)

(“Do you see the constellations? How could a human withstand such a dangerous liquid? All over her body without melting?”)

Bihyung was stunned once again. At first he thought that Go Eunyeon could survive because this tree was only a semi-finished product, and the liquid surrounding it was just ordinary liquid.

“Bottle.n..ya”

Perhaps out of anger, Go Eunyeon paid no heed to the pain in her body as she violently tried to stand up but she suddenly froze.

Staring into his own body, more precisely to the empty feeling surrounding his body, he realized that. . .

[Some constellations are staring at you]

'Ak-a-i...'

(“Haha, Star constellation. Did you see it well? Let's quickly watch the ad before going straight to the next scenario!”)

“KALI—”

Enraged, Go Eunyeon threw the half-destroyed bottle towards Bihyung, even some of the matter breaking around her without caring for them quickly broke down the moment she touched.

Perhaps due to expecting this, Bihyung was able to step aside perfectly, swerving through the air as he floated away from the range of the throw.

(“Why are you mad at me!?there's nothing to blame here, it's not like I've seen it”)

“WHAT DO YOU SEE BASTARD!!?”

Go Eunyeon felt embarrassed, angry, sad, too many emotions mixed into one that she herself could not explain. All he knew was, he was going to take this dokkaebi eye out of its sockets to assuage his anger.

Bihyung was confused why this incarnation was so angry, even vaguely seen . . . disappointed? Embarrassed?

'What's wrong with this guy?'

Turning his eyes, he could not help but think of the information of the planet, from which he read . . . If someone is without clothes. . .

Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight (night), Bihyung stared at the person below him in surprise for the third time.

'Maybe. . . This incarnation. . .'

(“Tan easy, relax. I really didn't see anything, and there was a screen-order before, so .. .”)

Dokkaebi Bihyung tries to make excuses as the wild speculation in his head gets wilder, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels this is true.

As Bihyung tries to find an excuse and is immersed in his own world, Go Eunyeon growls before without warning a screen appears in front of him and hits his forehead.

“Aww. .”

[Treality Modification Skills have obscured your gender]

'Huh?'

Bihyung who had come to a conclusion and saw that the incarnation below him had become more silent thinking that he believed in the reason.

(“Listen, I understand that you are worried, just relax, we dokkaebi are not people who like to ostracize someone through their passion. .”)

Dokkaebi continued to babble but her voice was a little unclear in Go Eunyeon's ear who was more focused on the screen in front of her.

Looking at the words on the screen, she became calmer, probably because she was no longer emotionally ignited, her body finally feeling the night chill.

Standing up and picking up a small piece of glass not far away, he was about to confirm something. Go Eunyeon's hanging heart calmed down after seeing herself in the broken mirror and only showing half her face.

And he found that he was in the mirror a little different, his height seemed to be higher? And since when did he have a male jakun!?

Touching his own neck, there was nothing there. He could have pointed the mirror towards the bottom but thinking that his face would be strange if he saw it, he pulled his idea.

(“You refreshed what I said right!?”)

Seeing that the person he was talking to did not respond, Bihyung floated closer but made sure not to get too close for security.

“Yes, yes, ya–hei, am I a male?”

With a gaze staring at the idiot, without any answer from dokkaebi, Go Eunyeon knew the answer.

'Wow, this skill is perfect for me.'

With a good mood, Go Eunyeon completely forgot what happened before.

Dokkaebi Bihyung drifted and followed the incarnation of walking into the ruins of the shop and pulling clothes from the crevice of the ruins that were strangely still intact, only that it was dusty and looked a little dirty.

Previously he had drunk the healing liquid from the second bottle, and wiped the liquid on his body with a ragged cloth on the floor that was not too dirty.

Go Eunyeon would have never expected that the water would be this nice before. Perhaps because he had not drunk anything for a few days, he felt overwhelmed just by drinking this.

(“You're really amazing, how did you get out unscathed?”)

“Langit.”

Draining the last beige shirt, although there was still a sticky taste in his body, fortunately, it did not smell of trash, more towards the smell of plants? I don't know.

'Should be around here. . .'

(“What?”)

[The Star race complains because the ads are too long]

[Some constellations unhappy at dokkaebi ‘Bihyung’ for stopping at important events]

Bihyung began to sweat as in the comics, he immediately stopped advertising before the constellations had a chance to leave his channel.

(“Honored star constellation, no, no, this is not what you guys think, I am a dokkaebi, there is no way I. .”)

Busy with the constellations beginning to comment on themselves, Bihyung had no time to see Go Eunyeon take anything from the ruins.

'I threw it here. . . Should, ah! Here comes.'

[Star Rate ‘Calamity Of The Fastened’ complains due to long ads]

[Star Race ‘The Nine Tail’ stares at you in shock]

[Star Race ‘Secretive Plotter’ clapping]

[Star Race ‘Sun Monarch’ replied to the message constellation ‘The World Serpent’ and said only he is including a bunch of fools]

[Star Race ‘The World Serpent’ gets angry and shows her fangs]

[Star Race ‘King Of Heroes’ laughs complacently and charges the constellations who lost the bet]

Seeing this message, Go Eunyeon so remembered that the constellations made some sort of bet on whether or not she could come back alive.

[The constellation that hates you says you suck]

'Then don't watch.'

[A number of constellations took out their coins for losing a bet]

[You get a gift from your sponsor]

'Another gift?'

+

[Profit Information]

Name: Dream Food Bag

Rank: A

Description: A bag that can realize the food of your dreams, and can only be used three times.

+

“An extra large roasted squid with tomato chili on it, oh! Add warm rice as well, and water . .”

Somewhere, a certain man rubbed his nose from sneezing, behind his back for no reason goosebumps.

[Star Race ‘Supreme Holy And Darkness’ says you should eat to fat]

[Star Rate ‘The Nine Tail’ agree]

“No, thank you for the offer.”

Almost salivating, Go Eunyeon stared at the food with smoke billowing over it greedily. There are even chopsticks and other cutlery included!

'How there's such a good thing, goodbye to eating'

[Star Race ‘Golden Fire Wings’ questions your success in the scenario]

[A number of constellations are looking at you curiously]

'It seems they can't wait anymore. . .'

[Star Race ‘The World Serpent’ questions him]

[Star Race ‘Calamity Of The Fastened’ laughs and says that the constellations on this channel are too stupid]

[A number of constellations in the room were offended]

[‘Demon-like Judge of Fire’ replied to the constellation message ‘Calamity of the Fanested’ that he was too arrogant]

[Star Race ‘Abyssal Black Flame Dragon’ says he feels something in the air]

[Star Race ‘Mother Of Humanity’ frowned and told you to explain it]

Eating while wearing her sponsorship gift that she threw away earlier, Go Eunyeon miraculously felt her body not feel cold anymore.

[Choker Personal Unknown has adjusted your body temperature to blend in with the environment]

[Choker Personal Unknown has regenerated the rest of your wounds]

Perhaps Go Eunyeon had gotten used to this area after three days of scenarios, even if the surrounding stinks of blood, she could eat very quickly and voraciously.

'It's very tasty'

“Actually I didn't do much. .”

[Star Race waiting for you to continue]

“Didn't you guys watch me all this time? As you can see, I was just running around.”

[Star Race ‘Prisoner of the Golden Headband’ stares at you amusedly]

[Star Race ‘Sercetive Plotter’ shook his head]

[Star Race ‘King Of Heroes’ laughs at your words]

[Star Race ‘The Nine Tail’ says she's confused]

[Star Rate ‘Supreme Holy And Darkness’ says what you do is too risky]

[Star Race ‘Calamity of the fanested’ grins and says you accidentally lost]

“Um? Iknow”

[The Star constellation says that you tell honestly and not half-and-half]

(“Tell me! You won't have anything good if it provokes the constellation”)

Bihyung was also curious, the sacred tree is not an ordinary tree without a title, it has its own background, there is even a relationship with certain constellations, it has a certain background, no one would believe it if Go Eunyeon just used an ordinary knife to get out of her stomach.

There must be something he's hiding.

Go Eunyeon thought for a while to string the words together, she did not want to explain too long.

“I took advantage of the fragility of the store, because this building shows signs of collapse, I just speed it up, and the tree died due to the impact of the building. Is that unclear?”

Meaning clearly, Go Eunyeon made use of the terrain to her advantage, she dodged the attack but simultaneously set up a trap aimed at making the tree die under the rubble.

But. . .

(“But why so long?”)

Go Eunyeon did not expect Bihyung to ask this.

(“If only to trap the sacred tree, it does not need three days, since the beginning of this store could have collapsed, but you stall three days so long”)

[Star Race ‘Calamity Of The Fastened’ scoffs at dokkaebi ‘Bihyung’ and says it will enlighten him]

[The constellation says you'll be buried with the sacred tree because it doesn't have any clever protection]

Go Eunyeon nodded in agreement. Since he could not directly defeat the monster one-on-one, he had to set a trap.

The entire shop would collapse, and he could not get out of the shop because there was an imaginary wall, nor could he use his teleportation skills.

There was no object hard enough to hold the collapsed roof, and it was certain Go Eunyeon would die along buried like the mosnter.

He had to find something big and fit for his body, and was definitely strong enough to be his shield.

Big, strong, and shield, only the tree was the only suitable one.

(“You accidentally broke into his stomach after making the basics of this store crack? Are you crazy? What are you doing! It's just–”)

“–Depend on luck?” Bihyung looked at the person in front of him like he was staring at some sort of madman, (“Are you not afraid of dying?”)

“Everyone must be afraid of death, yahh, except crazy people.”

(“And you are crazy”)

Shrugging both of his shoulders, actually Go Eunyeon did not rely too much on luck, it was purely in her plan, even if she failed, she had a guarantee to survive. Of course he would not tell Bihyung, after all, this could be said to be a life-saving card.

“Time to sleep. .”

There were dark circles under his eyes, even if he had to sleep on the ground, that was enough, he was really sleepy, especially after his stomach was full.

The moon in the sky somehow looks so beautiful for no reason.

(“Hei! Wait, whoa! There is still one more question from the constellations! How can you survive in the belly of the tree?”)

Scratching his own head in frustration, “I used pis-”

[Star Race ‘Guardian of the Velebit Mountains’ says that your knife has melted]

[Some constellations are upset at your convoluted reasoning]

'Mereke really won't let me sleep well? Why are they so curious?'

“OK, okay, as you know, I purposely got into her stomach to keep my body protected from the rubble, I used my skill to protect my body from that disgusting liquid, she said, and I came out also using the help of skills, are you guys satisfied!?”

But hearing his explanation, the constellations became more and more demanding, they said the explanation was less specific, as for Go Eunyeon. . . It was not that he did not want to explain in detail, it was just that it was a bit difficult to explain it and of course the time was not small.

[The Star constellation looks at you dissatisfied]

'And I'm not satisfied with you.'

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

“What is this really for me master?”

A high school girl ponytailed happily catching a sword that had been thrown in the air. His eyes carefully looked at the person opposite him, his master, and were afraid that his ears would mishear.

“Is there anyone else named Lee Jihye here?”

The black-coated man who still maintained his neutral face stared at the extremely excited face of his disciples, it created a contrast among the master-students.

One looks cheerful, and one is cold.

His student, Lee Jihye, was unchanged, still the same as in his memories in the previous round.

“Thank you for the gift master!”
