Just like when you close your eyes, you can’t see an inch ahead.
Even if I look behind me or look to the side, I can’t recognize if I’ve looked up or if I haven’t looked down.
‘dream… is it. A lucid dream?’
After the morning class, I must have had a meal with Jed at the student cafeteria, and since there was no afternoon class, I would have slept for a while in the dormitory.
I heard that lucid dreams can move around, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t move as if my body was stiff.
“… Ugh.”
Even the voice went out.
‘What kind of dreams do you have?’
After struggling for a while, a small reddish light appeared in the distance and slowly began to approach me.
The light gradually grew in size and then stopped right in front of me.
Oddly enough, it didn’t dazzle.
Kulleong-
‘what.’
Gulleong- Gulleong-
‘crazy?’
As if pressing and stretching clay, it stretches in all directions and then shrinks again, repeating.
The light gradually faded and then moved around and took shape.
The shape that protrudes partly while waiting up and down is like-
‘Person?’
The faded shape gradually grew in length and stopped only when it came near my chin.
Kwajik-
At the same time, cracks began to appear in various places, and the head gradually broke and began to reveal itself.
Eventually, all the skin was peeled off and there was only one girl left.
Her jet-black hair hung down to the floor, reminding her of Rapunzel.
Even the crimson eyes that look like they were made by melting deep rubies in the sky-blue black one-piece that covers the copper-colored skin.
She was a girl who seemed mysterious to everything.
‘Is this a dream?’
They say dreams are usually built on memory, but I’ve never seen a girl like this-
“hi.”
Are you done?
“Of course I say it because I have a mouth.”
what is this
“this? This is real!”
puck-
The girl raised her little hand and hit me on the head.
Because he is short, the point is to lift his tiptoe.
“This, profit!”
Tok, tok-
He beats his chest with his fern-like hand.
It must be a dream, but I can feel it.
“What, Kuum? Are you still out of your mind? Are you an idiot?”
But there’s no such thing as cheap.
Even if you only move your body, it makes you very cute.
“Mu, mu, what! Are you crazy?!”
A girl who frowned and withdrew from me.
what did you just fly?
“Hmmm! Anyway, are you a descendant of Altair? Even if I don’t say anything, I think I know.”
And then they ask me questions.
But can you hear me?
“How are his descendants doing this together? have no manners I can’t even comprehend the atmosphere. Ugh.”
The girl shook her head and sighed.
descendant… Is this side also related to the family?
Thinking so, the girl nodded violently and said.
“Well, but this time I think I can talk to some extent.”
The child is you no matter who sees it.
“profit! This is really- hmmm. anyway you! Listen carefully.”
The girl who pointed a finger at me.
“How many times are you talking about… Your ancestor, that is, the blood contract that Altair made with me… I mean it’s still valid. Since you’re his descendant, you have an obligation to fulfill it. understand?”
contract? suddenly?
The girl sighed again and answered my question.
“At the time, when I was driving out the demons from the continent, I lent my strength to him in return for handing over my body. But the problem is that I used the lent power for too long. The body that was supposed to be received in return is already in tatters, and in the end it helped to drive out the demons, but the contract period was well over.”
“So I proposed to the guy again. Please give me the body of my future child.”
body in return?
Then this look-
“This is my true self. And if I had been paid properly, I wouldn’t have shown up to you.”
The girl slightly lifted the shoulder straps of her dress and showed them.
‘That’s right.’
Did he borrow power to drive out the demons, and agreed to give his body in return?
‘Even in the game, it was said that there was a war between humans and demons in the past… I never thought that the family of Altane would be involved here.’
He knew that he had received the title of duke for his contributions to the founding of an empire in the past, but he had no idea it would be such a great feat.
If this isn’t a dream, the girl in front of me is probably… .
“yes. the attitude you have. That’s me.”
I knew it.
Then, how did you feel when you caught the ent the last time?
“That’s the remnant of my strength that remains in the attitude, and the remnant of your ancestors. Most of them died young without ever using that attitude.”
short verse.
Apparently, the girl said she wanted the body of Altair’s child in return.
But he said he failed. And it appeared in front of me.
That means that all the heads of the Altane family have been—
“You are right. all dead I can’t stand it for long.”
A light shone in the girl’s crimson irises.
The red eyes that glowed alone in the dark made her even more mysterious.
“Did I tell you earlier? I will get paid for it.”
You want to take my body?
“yes. I’ll take over your body I really don’t know how you are By the way, do you have any children?”
can there be Even the engagement I had a while ago was gone.
“You still have no children? What have you been up to? What a crap!”
He closes his eyes, shakes his head, and even shrugs his shoulders.
If I had really moved my body, I would have punched one.
Perhaps reading my thoughts again, I saw the girl’s shoulders tremble.
“Ah, anyway. I’m tired of this shit now. If you fail too, I will just give up.”
So why not give up right away?

Judging from what he said, it seems that he died young to steal the family head’s body and waited for the family head’s child to grow up again.
Then, did all the former heads of families grow up as orphans or were left to their mothers?
Could it be that the reason there is no mention of Altyn’s family in the game is because he is already dead?
“I lent that power and what happened! Do you know how long it took to grow up like this?! I was really, really worried about this too!”
Drain- A girl who started screaming.
“Anyway, since I’ve recovered to some extent, I’m talking to you too. Even your biological father stole his body without a word—well, but I’ll give you a grace period. Shouldn’t you also leave Mr.
It’s good to say that I killed my parents in front of you.
Maybe Altean got tired of this guy and suddenly abandoned his attitude.
Even in the middle of it, you can see that he is very obsessed with his body, seeing that he gives him time to leave seeds.
“So. The next time we meet is the last time. I don’t normally go this far, but it’s a commemoration of my strength returning to some extent. Oh.”
A girl who puts her index finger on my forehead and makes a face that reminds me of something.
He looked elsewhere for a moment and then spoke to me.
“My name is Ishtar. Black Sword Ishtar. You’d better memorize it. If possible, write it down immediately after waking up. I will provide you with this kind of service.”
The fingertips of the girl, Ishtar, began to glow red.
Wheein – A distant ominous sound is heard around the head.
When I looked at Ishtar with anxious eyes, she only responded with a devilish smile.
Soon, when the red light grew to the size of a fist, Ishtar’s enchanting voice was heard.
“Next time I see you, you’re mine.”
At the same time, the vision was darkened.
*
“Huh?!”
He made a strange sound and stood up.
what? Was it a real dream?
It was already dawn outside.
‘It’s too vivid for that.’
Even now, Ishtar’s crimson iris remains intensely in my mind.
A black dress with bare shoulders and tanned skin underneath.
Black hair flowing down to the floor and intense red eyes.
I remember all the conversations and appearances I had with her.
I hurriedly took out the attitude from my waist and called her.
“Ishtar!”
No reaction.
Reversing my attitude, I leaned back in my chair.
I thought about what had happened earlier.
After lunch, I took a nap in the dormitory because there were no classes, and I dreamed of that ‘dream’ to meet Ishtar and pay the price of the Altyn family.
‘They said they would steal the body.’
It’s not like a dream at all.
What if the dream was real, and if Ishtar was really the Attitude self?
So, does that mean that Altane, who appears in the mid-to-late half, has already been taken over by Ishtar?
―My name is Ishtar, Ishtar the Black Sword.

Judging from what she said at the end, Ishtar can definitely be seen as an attitude itself.
Is there any reason for her, who is only a sword, to gain a body and side with the demons?
Even though it was a contract in the past, there is a record of helping humans drive out demons.
Or maybe it was Altein himself.
‘Didn’t I say they would give me a grace period?’
The reason is absurd, but he said he would give him a grace period before taking his body.
It is said that all the family heads who were deprived of their bodies died young, so first of all, it is necessary to find out when and how old the Altane family heads died.
If it wasn’t a dream, if it was real, I should have died prematurely, as she said.
I took out a piece of paper and a pen from the corner of my desk and started writing.
