The Main Characters That Only I Know

Chapter 249:

“What do you mean you sealed your memories on purpose? How is that possible?”

“That’s… ugh!”

Kwon Jia tried to answer, but stopped and gasped for air as a piercing pain stabbed her brain.

She had forced the seal to break and recalled her memories, and now she was feeling the agony of having her head torn apart in real time.

She barely regained her senses and spoke hastily, as if she was running out of time.

“I sealed my memories. I had no choice. If they awaken, they will bring danger to this world.”

“Danger? What kind of danger?”

“Do you remember what you said before you drank the water of memory? It’s the same as that. In this mixed world, things like memories and recollections, whether you like it or not, affect the world.”

Yu-hyun knew that well.

Even Jamila and Gu Seo-yoon, who had visited him in the past, were influenced by the fragments of his memory. Because of that, the future he knew had changed again.

Kwon Jia said that his guess was right.

It was because the memory she remembered was related to that.

“The more intense the memory, the more impact it has. Yu-hyun. Do you know how many cycles I repeated?”

“That’s…”

Kwon Jia had repeated more than 600 cycles.

Moreover, the real essence of her memory was from the 2nd to 10th cycle.

“It’s not much yet… The influence of the mixed world is still small, but if all my memories awaken, then it will be a disaster that can’t be reversed. That’s why I sealed my memory. How stupid. Why didn’t I remember this sooner?”

Kwon Jia muttered to herself like a person with unstable emotions.

“This world is not ready for my memory to be released yet. Because of this, I have… how many times… how many… how many times was it?”

“Miss Jia?”

“The material world is devoured by the mixed world. That’s the natural flow. The earth will eventually, inevitably face its destined future. We can only change its direction. We have to prepare. Prepare. Prepare for the future…”

Kwon Jia’s condition was strange.

Not only was her body trembling more violently, but her eyes were unfocused as she looked at Yu-hyun.

She was not seeing reality right now. Kwon Jia was seeing the traces of her swirling memories.

“A huge, huge being is watching us. The Foundation is watching us.”

Kiiing!

There was a change in Kwon Jia’s book as well.

The light of her book, which had broken the seal with the water of memory, gradually weakened and then the broken chains were restored and began to seal the book again.

The seal that had been released up to the third cycle was restored as if time was reversed.

The chains were regenerating all of a sudden?

‘What the hell…!’

Yu-hyun panicked.

“Miss Jia! Is there anything you need to tell me right now?!”

“The Foundation. Be careful of the Foundation. And… golden.”

‘Golden?’

Yu-hyun’s eyes widened at the word golden.

Golden was the strange power he had recently become aware of.

The dazzling paper-like thing was a mysterious existence that came from who knows where.

Did Kwon Jia know about it?

Yu-hyun grabbed her shoulders.

“Miss Jia! What is that golden thing you mentioned?”

“Golden. That’s… a fragment. Of the Book of Genesis…”

“The Book of Genesis? What is that?”

“Fragments attract fragments. The bigger ones attract the smaller ones. That’s the Book of Genesis. Co…ugh…”

Thud.

Kwon Jia’s head dropped down.

All of a sudden, all of her books that symbolized her memory were bound by chains.

They were thicker and stronger than before.

Seeing that, Yu-hyun bit his lip.

It was too sudden for him as well.

“Ugh.”

Kwon Jia, who had been limp, came to her senses again.

“Where am I…?”

“Miss Jia! Are you okay?”

“Huh? What happened?”

“Don’t you remember?”

“Remember? What do you mean?”

“You drank the water of memory and…”

Yu-hyun stopped himself from saying more.

Kwon Jia felt something strange about his reaction.

“Yu-hyun. What’s going on? You stopped in mid-sentence. The water of memory? Right. I think I drank it too…”

“No, no. Nothing happened. Nothing at all. It seems that the water of memory you drank was a weaker version with less power. You’ve been lying down for two days after drinking it.”

“Two days? And I didn’t get any effect?”

“Unfortunately not. But I’m glad you’re awake.”

“I see…”

Even though Kwon Jia had drunk the water of memory, she couldn’t remember anything and looked quite angry.

Yu-hyun looked at her with a sunken gaze.

“First of all, you haven’t eaten anything for two days, so let’s have a meal.”

“…Yeah. I guess so. Thanks for taking care of me.”

“Don’t mention it. It was only what I had to do.”

“…!”

Suddenly, Kwon Jia opened her eyes wide and shivered.

Yu-hyun was worried that something had happened again and asked hastily.

“Jia! Are you okay? Why did you suddenly…”

“H-Here… Isn’t this my room?”

“Huh? Well, you fainted, so…”

Oh.

Yu-hyun stopped talking and realized it belatedly.

He had forgotten because of the important matter that had happened, but this was Kwon Jia’s room.

And, Kwon Jia was hiding the fact that she liked small and cute things.

Looking closely, Kwon Jia’s face was flushed red.

Her clenched fists trembled.

“I…”

“I?”

“Get out!!!”

Kwon Jia shouted like a girl for the first time.

***

Yu-hyun, who was kicked out by the squeaky Kwon Jia, returned to his room.

He immediately recalled the conversation he had with Kwon Jia a while ago.

‘Her memory loss was an intentional seal, and it would be very dangerous if it broke.’

Yu-hyun and Kwon Jia had unwittingly triggered the detonator of a sleeping time bomb.

Fortunately, the seal was restored and the disaster was prevented, but it was still a terrifying thing to remember.

“Baekryeon.”

[What?]

“Do you remember what Jia said earlier?”

[Huh? What did she say? What did you two talk about?]

“What?”

Was this some kind of joke? But Baekryeon’s reaction didn’t seem like he was joking.

“No, Jia said something to me in a whisper after she regained her memory.”

[Huh? She did? She regained her memory? But she failed.]

“That’s…”

Yu-hyun stopped talking.

The conversation with Baekryeon, who had watched the situation from the beginning with him, kept going in circles.

Baekryeon didn’t remember the information that Kwon Jia had said.

It wasn’t just Kwon Jia’s memory that was sealed, but also Baekryeon’s who had seen it all.

‘Could it be that I’m the only one who remembers it?’

He needed to check it out.

‘Golden. The Book of Genesis, she said.’

Yu-hyun wrote ‘The Book of Genesis’ on a suitable paper with a ballpoint pen in his room.

Then something amazing happened.

Sssssss.

The letters written with the ballpoint pen turned into dust and disappeared into thin air.

Yu-hyun’s expression hardened as he saw it.

“Baekryeon. Did you see that?”

[See what?]

“The letters I just wrote.”

[What are you talking about? Yu-hyun. You’ve been acting weird since a while ago. You didn’t write anything on the paper with the ballpoint pen.]

“…Really, is that so?”

From Baekryeon’s reaction, Yu-hyun could be sure.

The Book of Genesis that Kwon Jia had mentioned was forbidden information that should not be known to this world yet.

It was so serious that it applied even to Baekryeon, a mythical item.

‘But why do I still remember it?’

Yu-hyun still remembered the information that the world itself rejected.

He came up with an answer right away.

‘It’s because I have the fragment of the Book of Genesis that is golden.’

Then what exactly was the Book of Genesis? Where did the golden thing that he got from killing Park Moon-Chul come from?

Kwon Jia said that the flow of this world could not be changed.

The earth was destined to be devoured by the mixed world.

‘But she said that the direction could be changed.’

In the end, it was inevitable that the earth would be fully integrated into the mixed world. But whether the earth would exist as a proper world when that moment came or change into a spectacle of apocalypse for the Divine Spirits depended on how they did it.

The changing flow of time.

The Book of Genesis whose origin was unknown.

Memories that should not be awakened.

My head is full of complicated things.

‘They said that fragments attract fragments, right?’

Yu-hyun thought of the golden light he possessed.

The ability to read other people’s past and traces, and their possibilities, as books.

It was nothing but a power he obtained through a fragment of the Genesis Book.

And, those who possessed such fragments, whether they liked it or not, would draw in other fragments.

It was the fate’s power that led them that way.

‘Jia, and me too. Is it because of this that many incidents happen frequently?’

First of all, the situation was this.

Yu-hyun saw a golden light before he died in his previous life.

It was a fragment of the Genesis Book, and thanks to this power, Yu-hyun reincarnated as a Teller and gained the ability to read books.

And this power inevitably called for the flow of fate, and created incidents.

The conflicts between various characters and groups that Yu-hyun had experienced so far, the sudden problems of the worldviews, and the appearance of new Divine Spirits who were interested in this side.

‘All of them… were because of this power?’

He couldn’t get rid of this power now. In the end, Yu-hyun was destined to face many incidents in the future.

‘It doesn’t matter what happens. Anyway, the things I have to do won’t change.’

If he had known this fact when he first returned, he might have despaired. But Yu-hyun, who had gone through many processes until now, was not shaken by such things.

In front of the essence of immovability, it didn’t matter where his power came from.

What mattered was where he was going now.

And how far he could go.

Once he chose his path, he pushed it to the end.

‘No matter what trials or pains come.’

He would overcome them.

Yu-hyun vowed with his flashing eyes.

***

“Ouch.”

Yoo Young-min let out a groan of pain without realizing it as he felt a tremendous pain throughout his body.

His body was sore everywhere after the confrontation with Seo Sumin.

‘What the hell. She was really a reincarnated Heavenly Demon!’

He wondered how this could happen.

He vaguely thought she was a younger girl, but she was a reincarnated Heavenly Demon in her previous life.

And she was the same Seo Sumin who had ranked first among the new students at the Academy!

Yoo Young-min blamed himself for his foolishness.

He had some confidence that he knew about this world to some extent, but his pride was shattered as soon as he met Seo Sumin.

‘If this was a novel, it would have been cursed as a sweet potato.’

He suddenly thought of that and laughed without realizing it.

He had already fallen into this world without any connection, but he still thought like a novel because of his occupational disease.

‘No. But if the third one is a reincarnated Heavenly Demon, who is the second one?’

The first one, Kang Hye-rim, was literally a very strong person.

She wasn’t called Swordmaster for nothing.

She even moved at an invisible speed with lightning around her body when she saw some of her videos.

‘She’s almost like a protagonist of a novel.’

That was the first impression Yoo Young-min had when he saw Kang Hye-rim’s activities.

Yoo Young-min adjusted his sore body and climbed up the stairs.

He planned to go to Yu-hyun and get his room assigned and ask him what to do next.

On his way there, Yoo Young-min ran into Kwon Jia who was coming down.

“Hmm? Who are you?”

“Ah.”

Yoo Young-min shivered involuntarily as he received Kwon Jia’s sharp gaze.

The first thing that came to his mind before ‘beautiful’ was ‘scary’.

Kwon Jia’s natural charisma and momentum gave Yoo Young-min a new shock, who boasted that he had tasted the bitterness of the world.

“I-I mean… I’m a new collector who just joined. My name is Yoo Young-min.”

“Yoo Young-min?”

Kwon Jia frowned as she heard a name she had never heard before.

“Hmm. Is that so? Anyway, welcome. I’m Kwon Jia.”

“Ah, yes. So… you’re the second collector that Yu-hyun hyung mentioned.”

“Well, yeah.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“Yeah. Me too. If that guy brought you here, you must have some talent. Let’s do well from now on.”

“Yes, yes!”

As he watched Kwon Jia pass by him swiftly, Yoo Young-min muttered to himself without realizing it.

‘What’s with that stiff tone? She looks young. Is she a regressor or something?’

It wouldn’t be strange if the third one was a reincarnated Heavenly Demon and the second one was a regressor.

Of course, it was just a vague guess.

Hey, no way, is she really a regressor?

Yoo Young-min shivered as he thought of the possibility.

‘Can I do well here?’

Yoo Young-min couldn’t help but imagine a bleak future where he would be bullied often.

It was an instinctive feeling.
