Level 0 Master Chapter 128 - Vol. 5 – Episode 18

Chapter 128: Vol. 5 – Episode 18

It was a small start.

There was a boy who was level 0 who had come to a world where everything was ruled by levels and their power differences, but the boy had abilities and spirit that was beyond the level 0.

He defeated impossibly strong enemies over and over again. He kept fighting, saying he wouldn’t accept this world where people were abused by power and by the world’s unfair system, and he became the strong king of the world to use his power to protect people without power or level.

That was not so different from the world that Varka created. Maybe Varka’s world was slightly better. Sungjin fed his people and took care of them when they were unwell, but in Varka’s world everything was perfectly controlled.

But there was something different in Sungjin’s world. “School” was something new to vengeful spirits. It was something completely different from Varka’s world.

Extras studied things, not only techniques for work but things that seemed completely irrelevant to their lives, such as philosophy, ethics, and physics. It was a curious scene to watch the extras study such subjects that only a few heroes would study as their hobby.

“This is…”

“This is a world where everyone can think and make their own choices—not just a few, but everyone. And for that aim, we are giving everyone opportunities to study and improve their abilities.”

“What for…?”

“Because everyone is their own owner in this world!” It sounded like a natural thing to pursue, but also an impossible dream. “Democracy! Everyone is their own owner, and the system of the world is decided by a vote of the people. That is the goal of this world.”

Democracy was a relatively new concept in the long history of human beings, and not many cases had worked as they were supposed to.

“Impossible.”

“That is absurd.”

“I won’t be tricked by this.”

“Yeah, it looks impossible, but it is possible,” Sungjin said.

In Valhalla, it wouldn’t be possible in a day, because in Valhalla, only the heroes had the power to control the world. Sungjin was able to be the ruler, but he couldn’t make people have their own rights and have owners.h.i.+p over their lives.

“Through education, we improve their abilities, and I will change this world by becoming an Arc Master. I will make a world where they can become what they want to be not by the cla.s.s they are born in but by their hard work and effort to have better abilities and achievements!”

That was the world Sungjin wanted to create as an Arc Master.

Another image came up. It was a scene that only Sungjin was able to show, because he was from Earth.

He started to show the democracies that were established in the world called earth. It still had some problems, but there was a form of democracy there. Normal people had sovereign power and power to create the legal system. Everyone had chances to develop their abilities and achieve their dreams, while those who failed would have a safety net to try again. There were rich and poor, strong and weak, but that difference didn’t mean the weaker ones couldn’t have their dignity.

Republic of Korea, where Sungjin used to live, and other developed countries: the image showed these countries one by one, until it finally showed the ideal world that Sungjin was trying to create. “This is the world that I’ve been making, and the world I’m trying to create. See?”

They were just words. They didn’t mean anything. However, Sungjin was someone who would keep his promises. He wasn’t trying to show a beautiful fantasy. He was creating history by fighting against strong enemies.

The vengeful spirits started to calm down. “Are you… really going to make this happen? Will you bring me to somewhere that is not the chaos of disorder or oppressive order… but a free and peaceful place?” A world not with the absolute order that Varka had created, but a world that empowered people so that they could think and act by their own will, but still a world where people didn’t need to worry about how to survive.

“I promise.”

The guy who had started from level 0 to conquer the continent but had become locked in this world but had broken all the chains to come here.

“Please help us.”

“I trust you.”

Vengeful spirits started to go to sleep one by one, and when they started to calm down, they started to become a huge shape behind Sungjin to make a shape of six branches.

Sooryun watched it in silence. In her eyes, it looked like Sungjin was the king of the light standing in front of six shapes of darkness to take a few thousand vengeful spirits under him.

Ah…? When the vengeful spirits had gone, Sooryun glanced at the six completed wings, but that was just for a moment. Soon, the six completed wings were gone, and Sungjin took a deep breath.

“Okay. Now everyone go to sleep.” Sungjin took all the weight of the vengeful spirits from Varka’s world under him and promised them a new world. “I will give you a salvation that is different from the one that the Kaiser of White Silver gave you.” Then, Sungjin looked at Sooryun. “I will save you and everyone else, but in a different way from Varka.”

“Sungjin Oppa…” Without knowing to, Sooryun called Sungjin Oppa.

“So relax. Your dream won’t be a broken ideological daydream. I will make your dream the ground for a better future.” You don’t need to regret the time you spent with me to break the Stone of Closed s.p.a.ce. Sungjin touched her back gently to tell her to stop crying.

“Yes, Sungjin.”

“Oh, well…” Sungjin smiled. She was cute when she called me Sungjin Oppa, but my adventure with her is over now.

With Sooryun in his arms, Sungjin looked at Dungpyong. See? This is my answer.

Is it… Dungpyong’s eyes became softer. If that is my lady’s wish…

“So I guess this is goodbye. You go back to your world, and I go back to my world.” When we break the World Stone, we will be apart. I will go back to Valhalla to challenge Varka again with my team, and you will go back to your world.

“Yes…”

When she showed sadness in her eyes, Sungjin reached out his hand. “Or do you want to come with me?”

“Huh? Why?”

“Because I’m worried about you.”

The world she came from was in chaos because the democratic revolution had gone wrong and she was killed in the middle of it, so even if she went back, she had her soul but not her body. Maybe she would be born in a good place, but n.o.body knew for sure. He had taken care of the vengeful spirits who had tried to drag her down to the endless h.e.l.l, but he still didn’t feel it would be safe for her.

“I’m not a Kaiser yet.” Because he wasn’t a Kaiser, Sungjin didn’t have the privilege of having an ability to create a world like Varka did. “But soon I will.” Because I will make it. “Then, I think I would feel more comfortable letting you stay in the world of my creation.” He promised her to help her, so if he put her in danger, everything would become meaningless.

“Would it be ok?”

Sungjin smiled, and answered, “I already took a few thousand vengeful spirits without trouble. I don’t think taking one more little girl will trouble me.”

“I’m not that young.” She pouted her lips.

“Haha. Sorry. But what do you think? If you miss your home, there’s nothing I can do…” If you don’t have a reason that you have to go back… “Would you like to come with me and stay in the world that I will create?”

He was able to come here because of her help, and with her help, Sungjin was able to escape this world. He had to go back to Valhalla, the world where he would be the conqueror of the world, but the world that she had to go back to was the endless h.e.l.l controlled by Varka’s power. He didn’t feel comfortable letting her go back to that world.

“The world of Sungjin’s creation…”

“Would you like to make that world your second home?”

Sooryun starred at Sungjin’s hand for a while. “You promised that you would create a world where vengeful spirits could settle down, right?”

“Yes, and that was a real promise.”

“And you will make a place for me in that world?”

“Sure.”

“There’s one more thing I want to ask you.”

“What’s that?”

“Let me help you create that world.”

“Huh?”

“I appreciate your promise that you will help me to make my dreams come true, but I don’t want to simply take things from you,” Sooryun continued with a smile. “It was what we decided to do, so I want to take the responsibility with you. That’s what I want.”

I will forget about the world that would be different from the one I came from, and I will not regret any of this. I will go forward with Sungjin, holding his hand.

I knew you were my destiny.

What she felt was right. She couldn’t even remember the world that she had come from, and now she didn’t want to go back to the world that she couldn’t remember… Her heart told her that she had to create a new home next to Sungjin… There was no reason to resist it. She knew she would regret it if she didn’t go with Sungjin. Let’s be honest.

“Good. Sure. It’s the result we created together, so let’s do this together,” Sungjin promised.

He knew that the girls would comment on it if he brought a new girl, but he had to take her. Sooryun was a new partner he had found and someone he had to take care of. So this is my responsibility in this world.

Change the world and save everyone—that was the goal that he had set for becoming an Arc Master, so he had to cherish every relations.h.i.+p he found on his way. He couldn’t ignore the people he met on his way.

A few thousand vengeful spirits and a girl—he had to take everyone and go forward.

When promised, Sooryun took away her hairpin. Her hair dropped like a waterfall, and she looked even younger.

“Huh?”

“You said you like the natural look, so I will keep it like this.” She was following the taste of the man that she decided to follow.

“Lead me.” Sooryun held Sungjin’s hand.

“Then let’s destroy the World Stone.”

“Yes.”

They held the sword together to hit the stone to destroy the World Stone completely.

Then, time and s.p.a.ce broke apart piece by piece. The Universe. Everything that was holding this world started to scatter. Buildings became sand, and the ground disappeared. It was a grand scene when a world started to disappear, and in the middle of it, Dungpyong looked at Sungjin and his lady.

So he is… the man my lady wants…

And his answer was clear.
