Heavenly Demon Cultivation Simulation
chapter-351

What on earth is this? Where did this man come from?

The masked Sect Leader, Cheon Wol-Seong, was seriously concerned.

The only “player who left the region” that the system showed him was Seo Ryeong.

Sudden movement—

Because it was an unexpected movement and situation, it took them nearly a year to track them down. Still, he thought it could be possible.

In the first place Seo Ryeong did not have a high level of martial arts, nor did she have the personality to cause trouble, and she was laying low.

But—

“How… are you are a player…”

A man was sobbing while looking at the target of his pursuit.

The one who was assumed to be the husband of Seo Ryeong, and his words and actions were very unusual. When he heard the word “player,” rather than asking what it was, he managed to immediately understand it, and he was thinking of something.

This was clearly a reaction that could not be seen as normal. The same goes for the skills which were difficult to see.

*Probably, End Demon. If one is at the best… it makes sense.“

The level of martial arts of the opponent could not be guessed by him. This meant that he was getting closer to him… this too was an incredibly strange thing.

Profound Demon? It could not be. Those who always showed signs of being in the danger zone have been eliminated.

In that case, those remaining are the worst of the worst.

Knowing the existence of the system… players with special abilities… then?

Perhaps they had extremely high levels of skills like infiltration and hiding so they were therefore unable to be detected?

Then it would make sense.

But that meant the other person was quite tough.

For now… should we see what the situation is?

Crack! Crack!

At Cheon Wol-seong’s hand gesture, the End Demon and Hyang Gae stepped back.

They were still exchanging words. And their Sect Leader wanted to get information now since they were all concerned.

“If we think about it, we shouldn’t have done such a thing! Why did this… our child! What wrong did the child do? Just why…”

There was something Seol-Hwi could not understand.

It was Seo Ryeong. What was she thinking that brought her to this life and this situation? But—

“Kuak… this… this is my last life.”

“…!”

Finally—

At those words, Seol-Hwi’s movement went stiff.

The eyes, even the pupils stopped moving as if his breath stopped.

“I am sorry. I didn’t want to do this. But. To end… this hellish life… I wanted to do it my way… looking for small and… simple happiness.”

“It is the last one, then you?”

“Yes, I don’t have any coins left. This is my last life.”

“…”

Seol-Hwi was shocked at this.

Then, he looked at her round stomach and teared up.

Right, she must have had a tough life too.

They killed people even if they did not want to, and sometimes they were tortured to death.

That was the life a player had.

At the end of the painful hell, where there was endless death and pain, she wanted to spend the last days of life in peace….how could he say she was wrong?

“I am fine. But our child, I don’t even get to see the face of the child…”

Seo Ryeong was crying as she spoke with difficulty.

“It is painful.”

“…”

Pain. It was just a simple word, but it held so many emotions.

Seol-Hwi’s tears flowed down endlessly as he slowly averted his gaze.

Nothing in front of him could be seen, all because of the tearful eyes. If that was the reason, he could understand it.

And—

This fucking… bastard.

The Absolute, the ruthless bastard who used the system to manipulate the entire world as they pleased. The vicious man, more vicious than a plague, had to be cut down.

Seol-Hwi, who was shaking like he would collapse, soon shook his head.

He thought about what he had to do.

This isn’t the time to be swayed by my personal emotions. Anyway… we need to save Seo Ryeong.

They were now in a situation where nothing could be done. No matter what, he had to get her out of this place.

To do so, the priority was to understand the state of her body and then the skills of the enemy.

Right now, he was at the Supreme Demon, and at this level he cannot fight with the Sect Leader.

The person in front of him was the Sect Leader.

Even if he kept his abilities to a minimum, Profound Demon could not be touched.

And the two Supreme Demon warriors next to him, among them, the End Demon was pretty high in terms of martial arts.

If they fought like this, he would lose. In order to save Seo Ryeong, he must raise his martial arts to the highest point.

But how? The time required was twice as long, and there was no way the enemies would quietly wait for him to grow…

Drrr. Crack.

“Seol-Hwi, don’t try too hard.”

When he was thinking it over, Seo Ryeong suddenly spoke.

“…!?”

Seol-Hwi was shocked.

The way she spoke… it was so foreign sounding that it was hard to believe that it was something that Seo Ryeong said.

“You…?”

The AI!

Seol-Hwi had a hunch.

Seo Ryeong thought it was no longer possible and left this to the AI. Or the AI pushed Seo Ryeong out, saying it wanted to take this burden.

“No… Sa Yu-kang?”

There was no way it could happen, but he still asked. And the answer that came back was,

“No. I am Gwan Zi-pyung. Seo Ryeong has me registered as her AI.”

“…”

“Though this is our first meeting, I know what kind of person you are.”

“What? Just how…”

“This is famous among the AI’s. The only man who incurred the wrath of the Absolute. Beyond a limited destiny and become a single being free from the restrictions of the system.”

The eyes of Seol-Hwi turned clear.

Contrary to what Sa Yu-kang said, he learned that there was more to being an AI.

He also found out that AI’s were able to choose their players and have discussions, which was a good thing.

If Seo Ryeong had an AI, she could survive now…

“I am sorry. Unfortunately, this is where it ends.”

“W-what are you saying about? AI? If all the abilities of yours are used then you can escape right?”

“Let’s be rational here, it is impossible to move a pregnant woman’s body. I cannot be too aggressive with a child in the womb. And they would easily attack, so there will not be a chance for you to climb to Profound Demon. But more than anything else.”

Her AI continued,

“After handling him, the Absolute will appear. You can escape but Seo Ryeong will…”

“Ah…”

Seol-Hwi looked around as the AI said it.

Tuk. Tuk. Tuk.

The masked Sect Leader continued to look at them.

This was definitely him. Even if he somehow managed to do it all and defeat the Profound Demons with his Supreme Demon body, the fight ended there.

He could not protect Seo Ryeong against the Absolute who would appear.

“Well, in the end…”

“Do not be distressed, Seol-Hwi. Just accept it calmly. This is just the result of the fate Seo Ryeong has. She is… that is it for now, but not you.”

“Look… I am…”

“A person with the ability to escape the system. Perhaps we look ahead with a level of transcendence beyond escape. Because you are the best player acknowledged not by me alone but all the AI’s, especially Sa Yu-kang,”

These words rang in the ears of Seol-Hwi.

The scene of Seo Ryeong throwing herself down the cliff.

-You probably have a lot of questions. When this life is done, I will be prepared to answer your questions. It is one of the abilities of an AI.

A voice which softly conveyed to him.

“Thank you. Be happy.”

The faint voice of Seo Ryeong slowly going to the edge of the cliff.

“Ah…”

The moment he saw that, sadness and anger began to boil over in his mind.

“Ahhh!”

“This!”

“Hurry up!”

Seol-Hwi rushed in, and the masked people and Hyang Gae, who were watching from behind, could hear the panicked tone.

A distant cliff. He did not know how high it was, but he knew one thing—

Now Seo Ryeong could not live.

“…Do not be too sad, my lady,”

Seol-Hwi brokenly said as he approached the cliff one step at a time and looked to the place Seo Ryeong jumped from.

“We will meet again. I know a way to see you.”

Chak!

Seol-Hwi picked up the fallen dagger of Seo Ryeong, and—

Check!

He held it to his neck and raised the blade up.

A life without Seo Ryeong, a life of losing his child who was worth it all.

It was meaningless to live this life any longer.

Nevertheless, Seol-Hwi thought and made a promise.

In the next life, it would be a path no one could have predicted.

“Right, I will not avoid you. I will fight you properly. and I will definitely kill you with my own hands.”

Crack!

Cheon Miryo said meet the Absolute if you can definitely kill it.

She said that he could meet her then. The same went for Seo Ryeong. Even though the walls stopping him were high, there was still a way out.

That—

“Until then… wait longer. You bastardd!”

His last resort.

Seol-Hwi slit down his throat.

Puak! Swish!

A fountain of blood gushed from the cut. His vision turned black in an instant.

<Seol-Hwi is dead.> <Currently, 583 lives remain. What would you like to do?>

I have 583 lives now.

However, if needed I can increase it by taking missions at any time.

And Seol-Hwi realized this was enough. As preparations for killing the Absolute.

<There is an unauthorized access request within the system.> <Blocking failed. Attempting to block again.> <Failure. The request from the AI observer review was accepted just once, simulation access is forced.>

How much anger did he have to think over?

Even when Seol-Hwi saw the notification windows popping up, he still felt like his heart was pounding.

He lost both the woman he loved and the child too.

Just the thought of it made him feel like he was going insane. However, whether it was fortunate or not, Seol-Hwi’s emotions felt extreme.

<What would you like to do?> ▶Start from the beginning ▷Start with AI ▷Continue ▷Load a save point ▷Start with Simulation Lv2 (New!)

They cooled down along with the options.

His anger was slowly turning cold. What he had to do from now on was clearly form a plan in his mind.

“This… is this the arrangement?”

Seol-Hwi frowned, his eyes on the newly added option.

<Would you like to select ‘Start with Simulaton Lv2’?> <If you start with Simulation Lv2, you can use the simulation as you want.>

As before, there were many questions. What was the system, and how could he get to Cheon Miryo and Seo Ryeong?

And what was needed to defeat the absolute being?

<100 Life Coins are required to run Simulation Lv2.> <Do you want to pay the cost and select ‘Start with Simulation Lv2’?>

A hundred lives…

It did not matter how many lives he had. If needed, he could enter the system and increase the number of lives.

Seol-Hwi was curious as to why he had never noticed Seo Ryeong was a player. When the choice moved, he always chose the same action.

But what if she was a player?

He would not have repeated the same thing

<You have made the selection.>

He made the selection in a slightly nervous state, and this popped up.

Seol-Hwi waited a little longer.

And—

<What do you wish to know?>

A familiar phrase appeared.

He did not know how much the simulation knew.

He tried it before, so he knew it had its limitations. Seol-Hwi first asked what he was most curious about.

“When I made the choice and moved through the system, Seo Ryeong mostly repeated the same action. If she was a player and in the system with me, would this make sense?”

<Question received. Analyzing.>

After the question was done, the simulation began to analyze.

Seol-Hwi was curious.

What answer would he get? This was the moment when the actions of Seo Ryeong finally appear.

<Found it! Answer.>

“…!”

Seol-Hwi was all tense as he waited for the letters to appear before him.
