MEMORIZE

…so the wizard fulfilled his lifelong wish.

But he wasn't happy at all. No, rather than being happy, I ended up in despair.

Finally, I'm left alone in the tower with my beloved princess.She eventually returned to the cold body.

The beautiful flowers that once made the entire continent flutter are now cold.

The wizard, who struggled in despair, made a big decision one day.

Yes, it was the resurrection. He was both a noble wizard and a brilliant alchemist. Thus, he decided to revive the princess by mobilizing his abilities, and eventually stepped into the forbidden realm.

What has happened since then?

No one knows that. Because after that day, the wizard hung the Eternal Magic in the forest and naturally stopped hearing from me. In other words, this is all that is written in the narrative.

It's just sometimes heard in the woods....

It was as Song Seung-kyu said.

Despite its reputation, there was nothing inside the tower. The only thing you can see is the ice that gives off a cool glow and the dreary sight.

Anyway, it wasn't a bad thing, and we could climb the stairs smoothly without any interference.

As I went up, I felt the inside of the tower gradually darkened.

There is no problem with vision. But as I walked up the stairs from the first floor, I didn't find a single window. As a result, the sun couldn't shine, so I felt that it was dark even though it was a bright day.

How dark did he climb that tower?

Whoosh…. Whoosh….

Suddenly, a chilly wind blows from the top of the stairs.

Just because you came into the tower didn't mean the coldness was going anywhere. Of course, there was ice inside, and the occasional wind seemed to encourage the cold.

It was when he shrank all over due to the constant chill.

"We'll be on the eighth floor soon."

Suddenly, a creepy sound of iron flowed through the wind.

The icy stairs are spirally twisted like a conch shell, making them slippery enough to trip. So carefully balanced, I quietly raised my head and stared forward.

"If you cross that door, you'll see an ice maze. The caravan malfunction started there, so you should be more careful from now on."

Song Seung-kyu. It was still an uncomfortable tone to listen to, but the way he speaks itself is quite laid back. Since he followed without much doubt, he seems to think that he has already caught all the fish.

"Then crossing the maze leads to the dark room in question."

"That's right."

"Then maze is the key…Do you happen to remember the way?"

Rather than having a specific intention, it was a question that was pointed at once.

Song Seung-kyu did not answer immediately. I just stood still, and then I started to move along with a gentle nod.

“…….”

“…….”

Trudging, trudging.

Stomping, stomping.

The sound of footsteps ringing in the silent tower.

Song Seung-gyu has been acting without hesitation since he entered the tower. But I, and the Clan members, didn't say anything. I was just watching every single one of his actions carefully and quietly following him.

Arriving at the door leading to the eighth floor shortly after, we observed Song Seung-gyu's behavior.

He approached the side, groped for the wall, and soon found something like a handle and held it in his hand. And let's bring it down straight, growl! I could see the ice door going up with a scratch.

I tilted my head.

You don't want to reveal it yet?.'

In time, the ice door, which rose about four-fifths of a century, revealed its dark interior with an explosive chill.

"I remember the road to a certain extent. Then come on in.”

Soon after, Song Seung-gyu said a word quietly and hid himself in the entrance.

*

It has been a long time since I came up to the eighth floor and entered the maze.

As Song Seung-gyu said, the eighth floor was scattered in a messy way, and at first glance, it looked very complicated.

But I don't feel like I'm wandering. No... Should I say that the maze is not exactly like a maze?

because

"It would have been on the left here.

With such a complicated road, he might hesitate at least once or twice, but Song Seung-gyu chose the road without hesitation even at the 11th crossroads. Then it seemed very familiar for the second person to walk without hesitation.

Soon, Ha-yeon came up to the side and asked if she saw Song Seung-gyu moving far ahead.

"Suhyun, what are you going to do in the future? I'm still confused."

"There's no room for doubt."

"Then…."

"First of all, let's follow. It's either one of them anyway. Either you go into the tiger's den or you do something before you go in."

According to the story, the anomalies originated in the maze. That's why I can't let my guard down, but I was getting the feeling that he wanted to take us to the ninth floor for some reason.

"Let's go for now."

Trudging, trudging.

Stomping, stomping.

After all that crossroads, how much time has passed?

Song Seung-kyu also warned before entering the maze, but nothing happened in the maze.

Was this quiet march boring?

"Kim Soohyun! I think this is the road we passed earlier. Aren't we spinning right now?"

Suddenly, Vivien walked up to me and whispered in a small voice. And my eyes twinkled as if I were looking for an answer, but I shook my head and walked silently. She was babbling, but she didn't fret anymore, and she went back to her place and remained silent.

He had already told Clan members about Song Seung-kyu even before his departure. Perhaps that's why everyone was still nervous, but only Vivienne was like, "Oh, I see." Except for the occasional dud, she was a very slightly similar personality to me, so I understood being bored inside.

It's not exactly the way it's been, but...I'll have to reconsider the fact that it's spinning.'

The size of the tower feels much wider now than when I checked it outside. Of course, there were a few turns in between, but even though it had been quite a while since we entered the maze, we still couldn't see the door.

It was then.

It was not long before we entered a new road around the long ice wall, and a huge wall blocking the left and right was stepped on. At first glance, it was just a simple ice wall, but I felt a sense of incompatibility to just pass it over. As soon as I pulled up my eyes, I could see the identity of Wihwagam.

It was a trail of blood smeared on the wall. The marks themselves were faint, but...The color was obviously blood sprinkled recently.

I stopped walking and opened my mouth.

"There's blood on it."

When I spoke softly, everyone stopped walking for a moment. In time, I calmly pointed to the right wall at each eye.(At the same time, he alerted the Clan members, signaling them in advance not to act recklessly.)

Song Seung-gyu tilted his head for a moment and approached the wall and looked closely. Then he quietly opened his mouth.

"…I can see something faint.”

"Yes, the color looks like blood sprinkled recently. Do you happen to know...?”

The back of the visible head shakes unnaturally.

"No, I don't know. And it doesn't seem very important.”

"Maybe it belongs to a colleague."

"I suppose so, but I can't tell you completely right now, so I think getting out of the maze is a priority."

…I didn't mean it that way.

Soon after, Song Seung-gyu stepped back a couple of steps from the wall and pointed to an open road ahead.

"We're almost there. If you walk down this street, you will see stairs that go up in the direction of the right turn. If you go up the stairs, the door will come out. That's the ninth floor where I and my colleagues were attacked."

I stared in the direction he pointed and uttered a word.

"You remember in great detail."

Song Seung-kyu did not answer again.

It was just when he turned to the side of the road and tried to walk again.

Vivien rubbed her hands as if it were freezing and muttered in an uneven tone.

"Phew. We're finally here. That's a relief. I want you to go home soon, whether it's your soul or something."

It was just that moment.

Snap!

Song Seung-gyu, who was about to move, stopped walking for a moment.

He was still showing his back and said in that condition.

"…what?"

"Uh, huh?"

"What did you just say?”

I slowly looked back at Vivienne. At first, she blinked, but quickly turned a blind eye to see if she knew what was going on.

I let out a short sigh inside, but I just decided to think positively. The ninth floor was just around the corner, and in fact, there was no problem now.

He was just a parasite anyway, and killing doesn't mean much. To be honest, it didn't matter if I took care of it from the moment I entered the tower, but it was only a matter of time to see how far I would take it.

I raised my right hand and opened my mouth quietly.

"You'd know that better.”

"I'm well aware of that….”

In time, a gloomy yet slightly high-pitched voice flowed in.

"Kick, do you know who I am?"

"Well, at least I know you're not the owner of the body."

"When did you know? Did they tell you?"

They mean ghosts, I guess.

I replied slowly, smoothing my sword.

"Since the first time I saw you. I could tell that your body was dead."

I could tell exactly with a third eye.

The messages presented at that time came to mind as information called "death" and "fake."

Soon after, Song Seung-gyu, or the original soul, continued.

"…How did you know?”

"Of course it wasn't just that. As you said, the ghosts told me."

"How did you know?”

"I came into the tower again and found out. Strangely, your behavior was subtly unnatural. Then I saw my feet were out of reach when I was climbing the stairs."

Then Song Seung-gyu's head was lowered. Are you trying to look at your feet?

No, it's not. It wasn't just the head. His entire body was limp, like a doll with a broken thread.

Tuk, deguru.

Then something white and round falls and rolls on the floor. However, without having time to identify Chae, her head, which has only been in front of her, starts to swirl around.

"How did you know?”

“…….”

He couldn't even turn it completely.

His face was quite grotesque, which soon revealed exactly half. Black-dead, hollow eyes. And the monstrous lips that are torn all the way to the ears. His head, barely half turned, trembled visibly, and seemed to be trying to get back somehow.

"Uh……. Crab….I don't....Hey…?"

And that was the moment.

Crunch!

For an instant, Song Seung-gyu's neck was sharply turned to the left. The angle of the bend was well over 90 degrees, and anyone could see it was deformed.

I hear someone moaning deeply behind me.

But it didn't end up once.

Crunch!

This time, his head is bent the other way, and soon he moves freely by shaking.

In that state, three seconds passed. A second feels like a minute.

At that time, the shaky neck suddenly twisted and stared at us. And it wasn't until then that the bluish blue face caught my eyes. At the same time, I could identify the white thing that had fallen to the ground earlier.

Judging from the lack of eye contact between the eyes, the eyeballs must have fallen.

In time.

The teeth that had been torn to the bottom of the ear hit me like a nutcracker.

"How did you know? How did you find out? How did you find out? How did you find out? How did you find out? How did you find out? How did you find out? How did you find out? How did you find out? How did you find out?”

Then, soon he shuddered all over the air.

His hair was held straight up in the upward direction.

Like being bitten by someone.
