ReLife Player

Chapter 8

[The Enthronement of the Fairy (2)]

[The players guarding the altar are the Twelve guardians, all of whom will become the swords that will defend Korea in the future!]

Twelve players guarded the altar.

They were all different in age and appearance, but the black cloak they wore created a sense of unity.

Candles engraved in the center of the cloaks fluttered in the wind, resembling twelve candles shining bright in the night sky.

These players were recognized as the best in the industry and their presence alone could not be hidden.

By recruiting these players who were acknowledged by everyone, Im Ga-eul had revealed the value of a fairy who would lead Korea in the future.

Thud.

She stopped in front of the stairs guarded by the twelve guardians.

The players guarding the altar kneeled down all at once.

Instantly, the wind stopped. The flickering candles subsided.

No sound was heard. Not even the propellers of the helicopters hovering above.

It was the old man at the head of the line who spoke out of the soundless world.

[I, Moon Joon, Minister of the Korea Mana Management Agency and the head of the Twelve Guardians, greet you, Fairy].

The enormous old man, no longer even in his mid-twenties, bowed respectfully to her.

Im Ga-eul nodded quietly.

As she took a step forward, the old man next to her tapped the floor with a spear longer than her height.

[I, Nam Gung-seong, Director of the Special Forces of the Korea Mana Management Agency and one of the Twelve Guardians, will be the spear that protects this country].

Another step.

A middle-aged man with a build and height to match the two elderly men muttered to himself.

[I, Baek Seo-jin, Director of the Surveillance Division of the Mana Management Agency and one of the Twelve Guardians, will be the brilliant darkness that dispels the darkness of the city.]

As she walked to the stairs, the Twelve spoke their own words of pledge.

[As the sword that defends our homeland, I swear to destroy any enemy].

[I will be a lamp to light our homeland in the future].

In a world where monsters run rampant, conventional governments and laws have lost their power.

To survive in a world that has already perished, one needs power money, authority, and mana, a power that turns the unreal into reality.

Those with power commit crimes with impunity. They commit crimes.

The only thing that could stop them was someone with the same power.

If the opponent was a player, then it was another player who had to stop them.

But the Korean Mana Management Agency had no power over players.

While players were supposed to be under the control of the Mana Management Agency in name, the majority of powerful players formed clans, which meant that the number of people in the organization was vastly inadequate.

It was unlikely that the players who had gained the upper hand early on would want to give up what they had and join or be controlled by the Mana Agency.

In the end, the Mana Management Agency was nothing more than a famous but powerless government organization, and the clans flourished as organizations that needed to impose sanctions.

Here, Im Gaeuls ability was remarkable.

As a successful actress, she carried an unbeatable public opinion and selected the top players in the player industry, who were said to be the best, one by one.

Players who become Twelve Thrones while still in a clan wield not only the power of the Mana Management Agency, but also the power of their clan, becoming a controlling force in the player industry.

[I will look forward to it from now on.]

With that, all of the Twelve finished their pledges.

Gaeul, who smiled softly, climbed the last step towards the altar.

On the altar was a large crystal ball.

On the surface, it was just a crystal, but it was an intricate work of art, inside it was a complex ritual known as Cocoon.

When she infused the crystal with platinum mana, magic would unfold in a radius around the crystal.

And the cocoon, embodied by the mana of , had the property of preventing the ubiquity of mana within its range and dispersing the mana present on the cocoons outer walls.

Gaeul gently stroked the crystal ball.

It took only a moment for the crystal to respond to her mana, and it glowed white from within.

After confirming the light, she calmed her breathing. Then, she unfolded the letter with the seal.

[December 14th, Year 0 of the Yusei era,

Fairy Im Gaeul humbly reports to the heavens and earth.].

Once again, and again.

A voice that doesnt disappear but lingers.

[As I contemplate,

The heavens and earth have a great balance,

Inspecting all things with wind and rain,

Truly, it is not the power of wind and rain,

But the generosity of the heavens and earth that spares what they have created.]

[To the kind, blessings are given,

To the wicked, disasters are given,

Truly, it is the will of the heavens,

That humans, with their faults, receive disasters,

But for what crime must they die in this world?]

[May the heavens and earth bestow great balance,

Rescue all things,

Sacrificing and offering,

Please grant us silver and blessings.]

[Hopefully

The heavenly gods and earth deities will bestow great blessings and save all beings from suffering.

Please accept this offering with reverence and sacrifice, and bestow silver coins., so that you may incense me and give me a gift].

A world once destroyed by monsters.

Does God exist in this world?

Everyones anxiety vanished in front of her words.

When Gaeul had finished, she tore it into pieces and scattered it into the air.

The bits of paper scattered in the air burned and disappeared.

Just as her words reached the heavens.

May the Gods of Heaven and Earth grant me the strength to defend this nation.

She gently waved her hand.

In an instant, white-silver mana flowed out of her hand, tracing its path.

She placed her hand on the crystal ball.

The white mana manipulated the enchantments inscribed inside the crystal.

A white wave emanated from the crystal, which glowed brightly in white and illuminated the night sky.

The wave, which became the hope of South Korea, spread across Gangbuk in an instant and began to form a hemisphere-shaped barrier that covered the sky.

Whoa!

Running out onto the veranda, Euna exclaimed as she watched the cocoon of white cover the sky.

Oh my. Its beautiful.

Wow.

Mom, the night is so beautiful.

Now we canlive in peace?

Thank you. Thank you.

It wasnt just Euna.

Neither her father, nor her mother, nor her sister.

Everyone else stepped outside and looked up at the pure white night sky.

Moved, awed.

Teary-eyed, they prayed, as if a promise had been made.

Salvation.

Those who knew the horror of monsters, those who had lived through a world once destroyed, looked as if they had been saved.

Eunha watched as the silvery-white cocoon dissolved into the night sky.

It was not the first time he had seen the scene of a cocoon unfolding.

Before his regression, hed watched the next generation of fairies, Fairy Queen Habaek baekryeon, deploy the cocoon up close.

Sometimes he would even go on missions to help her reactivate the cocoon.

Oppa! I did it. Please praise me, praise me.

Ive told you before, it takes a lot of mana to deploy a cocoon, so be careful.

Hehe. Im so happy. At least now, I can say I did my part, right?

Dont listen to what anyone else says. Why should you listen to and worry about someone you dont know?

You wouldnt know if you had the public opinion on your side

I can boast that Ive had more insults than you for at least 12 years

Blood, what, uh? Oppa, Im sorry, Im going to sleep.sleep Good night.

He remembered the first time Baekryeon unfolded her cocoon and was happy, as well as the time when she fainted.

It was still vivid in his eyes.

He couldnt help but be moved.

While everyone else saw hope in the cocoon, he saw regret in the past.

Some people had been so focused on killing monsters that they hadnt paid attention.

he was sorry he didnt.

But thats it.

I had regrets about the past, but that was it.

I had regrets, but I didnt want to live my life with regrets.

Moreover, it was my second life. I didnt want to live this life with regrets about the past.

A lot of things are going to change now.

Mm? What did you say?

Nothing.

Euna tilted her head.

Eunha, who was muttering, lowered his head.

It wasnt an exaggeration to say that Koreas history was divided into the period before and after the End of the Century Destruction, when the world was said to have ended once.

And the history after the End of the Century Destruction had gone through many upheavals, starting with the inauguration of the Fairy Goddess Im Gaeul

He looked up at the night sky and summarized the events that would occur in the world that was about to change.

Most important to him were the events of the coming year.

The year is almost over.

The year he would turn six.

He had lost his family then.

He couldnt do anything about it.

It was too difficult for him to understand what had happened, he was only 6 years old.

He just didnt have parents. No sister.

On the verge of losing his mind, the last thing he remembers is a bubbling world.

And Eunas voice, hugging him tightly.

Its okay, Your sister will protect you

He spent time like an autistic person. It took years to get out of the memories of screaming people and family members who were washed away like floodwater.

Even when he regained consciousness, he was tormented by helplessness, unable to do anything.

So I spent my life killing, killing, killing. Whether it was monsters or people.

I couldnt shake off my helplessness without killing something, and I couldnt find a reason to live without purpose.

I killed to live, and I killed to die.

But this life will be different.

I dont know what Im supposed to do. I dont know what I can do.

I dont have any answers as to why I still live.

But I do know one thing,

Im not going to lose my family in this life.

I wasnt going to suffer helplessly anymore.

Ill pray too. Euna, lets pray together.

Eunha took her hand and leaned against the railing, clasping his hands like everyone else.

The white silver that had colored the night sky was fading. Now even the outlines of the cocoon were melting into the night sky.

Eunha looked back.

Both her mother and father were now praying for a ray of hope.

He wondered who they were praying to.

What are they praying for?

Lost in thought, he soon joined the others in prayer.

God does not exist in this world.

God is dead. When the world was destroyed once.

And yet he prayed to a godless world.

Hopefully, in this life, he could protect his family.

Please let my family be happy.

He heard Euna, who was praying next to him, say.

Yes, may my family be happy.

Eunha prayed earnestly.

He wanted to live happily with his family in this life.

The year changed, year 1 of Seonkyeon.

Eunha entered kindergarten.
