chapter 1
1 – Psionic Madness
Did you know that spoons grind even when possessing another world?
It is very unfair to be suddenly thrown into another world.
Even worse there, you might wake up in the body of a slave.
Or you can possess a soldier on the battlefield and tremble in fear of death every day.
If not, he could be possessed by an old man with few days left.
From that perspective… … I was a very lucky case.
It was because he was possessed as the son of an emperor who ruled over a huge empire.
In terms of other world-style cutlery, you could call it a mithril spoon.
Of course, no matter how much Mithril is used, everything cannot be satisfied.
I also had a few problems.
First, it was so out of the blue that there was no prior information about this unfamiliar world.
Second, the social roles of men and women were different from common sense and it was not easy to adapt.
Actually, even so, it wasn’t a big deal.
didn’t you say It’s called a mithril spoon.
If you leave these and other troublesome things to someone below you, you’ll be able to do anything.
I just had to enjoy a leisurely life with overflowing power and gold.
That’s how I thought that there was only a flower road ahead of my new life as an imperial prince.
… … I was mistaken only for that line.
* * *
A sky full of red flames.
A land that has been cracked and overturned, revealing its inner flesh.
“big… ugh… Coke, Coke!”
I struggled to stand on the ground stained with the blood and flesh of monsters.
‘Wounds… .’
I lowered my eyes and checked my body.
Black blood gushed out from a large wound that penetrated the middle of his chest.
A cut cut deep across his abdomen, and his wounded intestines came into view.
‘There’s nothing more to see.’
Fatal irreversible injuries.
‘Still, I’ll be able to move for a while.’
I struggled to gather psionic energy.
Quadduk.
Swallowing a groan, he straightened the twisted vertebrae with telekinesis and fixed them firmly by connecting the broken leg bones.
“nice… ugh… .”
I slowly got up and looked around.
The red burning sky and the endlessly stretched land.
At first glance, it looks like the real world, but in fact, this place is inside an artificial structure.
『Sky Tower』
Huge towers that have been planted all over the continent since time immemorial and have risen to the end of the sky without anyone knowing their origins.
[Those who resist the end.]
[Climb to the top of the Sky Tower and save the world.]
One day, an ordeal was sent to the continent from the Sky Tower.
And that ordeal completely shattered my life as an imperial prince.
‘Where did it go wrong?’
Ignoring the oracle of the Goddess Church as something that had nothing to do with me?
The past years of being lazy and prodigal as the prince of the empire?
‘No, it was a problem from the moment I possessed to another world in the first place.’
It wasn’t the time to laugh carefreely about the mithril spoon and the flower road of the rest of my life.
‘What is a flower road?’
I sighed as I gazed at the blood-stained road in front of me.
‘Is the attacking the Sky Tower a failure after all?’
This is the floor directly below the top floor of the tower.
The raid team carrying the fate of the world failed miserably here with only one step left.
[Condition not achieved!]
[At least 7 people are required to enter the top floor!]
two hours ago.
It was a message that came to the front of the ‘four survivors’ who were trying to climb the passage to the last floor after finishing the bloody battle with the monster.
“hahahaha… .”
Thinking about it again made me laugh out loud.
During the last journey, the raid party lost a lot of personnel.
But I never thought this would happen because only three people couldn’t be saved.
It was impossible to go back after coming here.
It is a situation that is not allowed to move forward or step back.
A new message came to mind as if mocking the rest of the raiding party that was standing there stunned.
[Quest: Resurrection of Losers]
[Gather all the <Fragments of Foreign Gods> you have and present them to the tower.]
[Reward: 1 ticket to return to the opening of the Sky Tower in the past.]
A heavy, dismal silence fell between the four members of the assault party.
I looked back at the party and tried to freshen up the atmosphere.
“Let’s talk for a while—”
“Damn it.”
It was a raiding party that was not good with each other in the first place.
“… … .”
“… … .”
“… … dead!”
Quaang-!
The catastrophe started naturally like water flowing.
At first, I tried to convince him by defending himself.
However, as time passed, I had no choice but to counterattack little by little.
The end of the bloody conflict between each other.
Ironically, the one who stood alone at the end… … .
It was I, the prince of the Empire, who had been ignored by them as a ‘weak man’.
.
.
.
Dismissed! Paperweight!
I walked slowly with the psionic barrier on.
Dismissed!
The barrier, which glowed in the golden color unique to the imperial family, ate the meat pieces of the monsters scattered on the floor, and sparked continuously.
I stood in front of the corpse of a person with eyes closed, sitting as if leaning against the corpse of a monster.
‘A paladin of the Goddess Church… .’
He was a quiet person and didn’t know what he was thinking.
I took out a piece of metal that glowed in a strange color from her chest——and retrieved it, and turned around.
‘next… .’
I walked while maintaining a barrier where lightning intermittently bounced.
After a while, I stopped at a place about 30 meters away.
There, a silver-haired swordsman from a snowfield elf crouched down holding a broken sword in his arms.
“Northern princess Sirel.”
“… … .”
There was no answer, so I got down on one knee and lowered my stance to examine her.
His left arm and right leg had been cut off and had disappeared somewhere, and a half-torn wound was visible on his waist.
‘Am I already dead?’
flash!
Suddenly, she opened her eyes and swung her sword at lightning speed.
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Kaka Kaka Kakang—!
Of course, that attack was blocked by my barrier and bounced off in vain.
I admired a little
“To move like this even when everyone is dying.”
“porridge… uh… All… I’m going to die… . doggish… world… .”
Elf swordsman Sirel muttered with mad eyes.
“Well, you weren’t really interested in saving the world.”
It’s a miracle that I’ve come this far.
“Such a world… I do not need… with me… let’s die… ?”
“hate.”
If I were to evaluate her in one word, the word mad dog would fit perfectly.
Despite his young age, his talent and sword skills could be said to be the best.
However, the problem was that his mental state was extremely unstable.
‘It seems that her mother, the Grand Duke of the North, is the cause… .’
Like a world in which men and women were reversed, the Grand Duke of North Korea was also a woman.
She is said to have been a snowfield elf, and has lived her entire life with only a sword as her friend, with no ties to men.
The Archduke Bukbu, the swordsman she had been doing, suddenly revealed that she was her daughter a few years ago.
‘Besides, he insisted that she was his daughter when he had already grown up.’
I still remember that there was a lot of gossip in the social world at the time.
‘By the way… It seems that the education of children has gone completely crazy.’
Sirell, even though this guy looks like this, his potential is at the highest level.
It was a great power to prevent the end of the world after returning, so it was difficult to grow like this again.
‘Can’t we somehow mediate between the two mothers and daughters of the Grand Duchess of the North?’
Of course, the difficulty of intervening in other household affairs must be considerable.
In this world where the roles of men and women have been reversed, women usually manage the outside work and men manage the work inside the house.
However, the present Northern Grand Duke was a single person who had lived her entire life only looking at the sword.
In other words, the man who will act as the ‘hostess of the house’ is also in a vacuum, so it means that it is a place that is difficult to visit without hasty excuses.
‘Without the help of a male hostess to manage the affairs of the family… … It must have always been full of rough and rugged knights from the north.’
So it was clear without looking at how the barren and desolate family of the Grand Duke of the North had gone.
“Die, die, die, die, die, die… .”
look at this shit
Isn’t it a natural result that the northern princess Sirel in front of me has grown up like this?
‘Maternal love… No, is it warm paternal love in this world? I must have grown up never feeling that kind of touch.’
To be honest, I still have no idea what ‘fatherly love’ feels like in this world.
It’s obviously a pity, though.
‘I guess I’ll have to visit the North once after returning.’
If the cold and desolate home environment of the Grand Duke of North Korea can be improved even a little warmer and brighter, wouldn’t it be possible for Syrel to grow up properly and become a great power in the future?
I suppressed Sirel with my telekinesis and retrieved the fragments of the foreign body in my arms.
“It will be over soon, so rest, Sirell.”
“A dog world… .”
“Yes, I agree.”
.
.
.
I moved my feet to the last place.
It was a place where transparent blades raged wildly.
He burrowed in while struggling to stop the runaway psionic blade.
After a while, I was finally able to stand in front of Ekinne, the princess of the Empire and my sister.
“Echinne.”
“Wow!”
My sister, Equinne, who had been cut off at the waist and was left with only the upper half of her body, spat on me and spat on me with contempt.
“Does a lowly thing dare to say the name of the imperial family indiscriminately? It looks like you really want to die.”
“… … .”
I laughed bitterly.
I did not escape the ordeal of the Sky Tower.
The secret of my birth, which I found out in the process of climbing the tower, completely destroyed the relationship between us siblings, who had not been good enough.
Not everything was revealed, but at least it was clear that I was not of imperial bloodline.
It is said that it was not a full mithril spoon, but just a miscellaneous spoon plated with mithril only on the outside.
‘When he knew that, Ekinne’s face was… .’
The secret of my birth, which was revealed in this way, seems to have brought unbearable insult to Echinne, who was full of pride for the imperial lineage and a sense of chosenness.
From then on, my sister started to look at me like a bug.
I whispered softly with a soft sigh.
“If I return, will Ekinne be able to rewrite my relationship with you… ?”
Although they were possessed in the middle, they had already grown up as brother and sister for over ten years.
If possible——.
“Are you going to play a clumsy family game again, pretending to be the royal bloodline?”
“… … .”
“Not advised. You’d better stop fussing around like that.”
“… … .”
With a small sigh, I carefully retrieved the fragments of the foreign press without a word.
‘If at least I could convince them that I’m not interested in the throne… .’
The problem was Ekinne’s character, who was excessively obsessed with the succession of the throne from the beginning and kept me in check at every step.
‘Why the hell did the emperor make me a prince when he wasn’t even his own child?’
Do you think it will grow into a useful strategy tool?
Or to be used as a psionic test subject for something?
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t figure out the answer.
While returning this time, I intend to investigate the mystery of my birth.
Maybe that could be a clue to solving the conflict with her sister Ekinne.
I whispered goodbye and said goodbye.
“Then, Ekinne… . I’m sorry that I made you suffer because of my ugly older brother.”
“… … … Chit.”
The guy hesitated with a face mixed with murder and annoyance… … I finally turned my head.
He is holding on by controlling his psionic energy, but Ekinne’s remaining time will soon run out.
I slowly turned and walked away from him.
‘Poor guy.’
Excessively powerful psionic energy is bound to affect the mind of the magician.
Regardless of the direction, there was a risk of being consumed by one’s own power and eroding into madness if one could not maintain a strong and unshakable ego and mental strength.
‘Ekinne must have had a good heart originally. His excessive obsession with power is probably—”
Dismissed! Paperweight!
Clearly this damn psionic energy was the problem.
anyway… .
In this way, it was possible to collect all the fragments of the foreign press.
Looking around, I saw a pure white altar on one side of the other side before I knew it.
As I walked there, recalling my journey so far, I suddenly shook my head lightly with a wry smile.
‘How come there wasn’t a single normal person except for me… .’
Except for me, all of them were distraught, stained with hatred, madness, jealousy, and arrogance.
Before I knew it, the altar was right in front of me.
I placed five of them on the altar, including fragments of the foreign press that I originally owned.
Paah-!
The fragments glow and merge into one, forming a golden goblet filled with a rainbow-colored liquid that lands on the altar.
‘Is it called drinking?’
There’s no reason to hesitate since you’ve come this far.
I took a deep breath, picked up the glass, and swallowed the contents in one gulp.
Tsutsutsut—!
With the feeling of being sucked into somewhere, my vision darkened.
