Shin Yoosung. This child’s name showed that she was the disaster. This child would destroy Seoul in five days.
All disasters from Earth were returnees. They were destroyers who wiped out another world and returned. This child could be called a returnee because she destroyed Chronos. This is all information you already knew.
However, that wasn't all.
Among the five disasters of Chronos, this child was special. She was also the most dangerous.
The one who will cause the disaster isn’t this child, but her future self. You can see your companions look at you, one with wide eyes and the other a knowing look.
This sweet and innocent child would become one of the most terrible disasters of this world in the future.
One wants to kill the child, to prevent it from happening. The other doesn't want to.
‘No.’
‘Kill her.’
‘I won’t let it happen.’
‘Kill.’
You approach the girl as she eats her meat, asking if it's delicious. Her answer is quiet, almost a whisper, as she answers yes. But she continues on. ]
“Ahjussi, can you see the future? I- am I a bad person in the future?"
[ You know the answer to that.
When you tell her, when she realizes she's probably the worst person in Seoul, it doesn't seem to surprise her.
She didn't have to tell you why. You already knew how Shin Yoosung was able to survive in this world. Can see the pain in her eyes as they well up with tears.
She had to kill her beloved companion, her lovable dog, to survive the first scenario. She stole a coat from an old man who collapsed from an attack. She killed a woman who always looked after her to protect her own green zone. She handed over a person chased by someone in order to get food.
She did everything to survive in this world. Everyone has. As a reader, you know this all. You know her full story from the story you love.
「 I will be punished. It isn’t worth living. 」
Her thought echoes in your head. You can see the determination that fills the child’s frightened eyes. The expression of a person determined to die was no different for an adult or a child. ]
“You can kill me. I’m ready.”
[ You smile at her, reaching a hand to gently pat her head. ]
Don't worry. Your death isn't in the ending that I want.
[ You will take this child under you. Even if it doesn't change the future to come, even if this ends up meaningless, you want her to live.
You would prevent this child’s death for Yoo Jonghyuk. But deep down, you would do it to save her anyways. She will become stronger in the next few days, she will grow under your supervision and you will see that she will come to appreciate and love life instead of fear and dread her own existence.
The girl's eyes stare at you in disbelief, but you can feel a faint loyalty towards you. Finds a little hope in her eyes. It costs money, but you have a lot of it anyways, to help her grow. To increase the speed in which she gets to level her stats even without the help of a proper sponsor. You may not be able to give her the full benefits... but she looks at you as if you're the first good thing she's seen in a long time.
It's the last image you have before things go dark. ]
It isn't as if she asked for that kind of fate. It was something the system forced upon her. Even if we had killed her, it wouldn't change anything.
[ but from the tone of his voice, even if it would have changed something.. he still wouldn't have. ] I more or less adopted another in the last game I was in as well. Seems like a habit of mine at this point.
