《Notes of the Zen Master》

【Item description】

＜Only Rating＞

An old, worn-out notebook in which all your adventures have been recorded.

– It is a relic used by the master bard to transform the world into his own utopia.

It is a note that contains power powerful enough to bring about a change in the world, but due to the death of the original owner, the power has almost disappeared.

However, if there is a suitable price, one wish may be granted… … ?

[Durability 2/100]

The days when Zeke was a true gamer on Earth, when he couldn’t even imagine possessing or summoning.

It was a note obtained by defeating the true boss, ‘Seonsa Bard’.

Since no one has obtained this item except Zeke, who cleared the game for the first time, what kind of easter egg is there and how can it be used?

Nothing is known about this item.

Just, when you click the [Use] button, a magnificent background sound comes out of the speaker, and it serves as an ending credit that tells you the journey so far along with various CGs.

I looked at the whole scene with sentimental eyes, as if he recognized the hardships he had gone through in his own way.

After all that talk was over.

At the end, a space was created to write just one sentence.

“What is this… Ah. Is it something like the Hall of Fame system…?”

After starting this game, he spent more than 12 hours a day holding on to dark fantasy games with the sole intention of seeing the end, but he was quite familiar with other games before this game came out.

‘Yes, I cleared a difficult game like this one! If you don’t even put a name on it, that’s a fucking game! … … No, it’s a fucking game in the first place.’

For gamers anytime, anywhere, the title of ‘first’ is bound to be sweet.

At first, he wrote down his nickname ‘Zeke Kleiman’ with a pounding heart.

I deleted it right away, and the playfulness turned and I wrote it down as ‘Secret’.

“Hmm, the name of the person who first cleared the game should be kept as a mystic.”

and right after that. The screen glowed white and was summoned to the game world.

What is the reason why Zeke is reminded of old things that he can’t remember anymore… … .

“If you are also a knight whose name is recorded in the Northern Hall of Fame! Raise your sword and fight fair and square!”

“why me?”

Black-haired, black-eyed knights like Zeke had blood vessels in their necks and were trembling.

Even right now, he was making an expression that would catch him and chew him to death, but there was a reason why they couldn’t run at him.

“You son of a bitch! Can’t we take our hands off Princess Lily’s body right now!!!”

A middle-aged man with an impressive long, thick scar carved across his face, who seemed to be the commander of the knights, shouted.

“now? To me? dog? child? say? I did it?”

sigh-

Sieg tilted his head slightly and thrust the sword he was holding into the sleeping saintess’ neck.

The blade of the eerie sword touched the white nape of the neck.

Her slender neck looked dangerous as if it would fall off with the slightest effort.

Zeke was currently holding the saintess and conducting a hostage play.

Then, the Heilang Knights’ faces suddenly became contemplative, and they flinched, unable to do anything.

From their bitten lips and wide-eyed eyes, I could clearly feel how angry they were with the current situation.

The fact that his skills were not normal could be guessed from the traces left here and the sounds of battle.

However, to do such a despicable and shameless thing to do with such skills!

Judging by the jet black hair and black eyes, he must have been a swordsman from the north like them.

Since honor was more important than life for anyone who used a sword in the North, they didn’t know how to deal with this situation.

“Ouch! Oh no! My, I’m good, I’m wrong… … . Ri, remove such a dangerous thing from Princess Lily’s prison body!”

“Clean it up? That’s half the word.”

Zeke’s head snapped again.

“… … What the hell do you want! Say anything!!!”

“Yeah, bastard?”

sigh-

Once again, Zeke’s knife came close to the saintess’ neck.

“Oh, no… … ! Ears, what you want… … . Hey, tell me!”

The commander of the knights even gave an honorific title to the person who was holding a princess who fainted from eating mustard while crying as a hostage.

If something goes wrong with Princess Lily here, it doesn’t end with giving her head!

No, even if it wasn’t for that reason, I had to somehow rescue that kind and precious northern treasure.

“Let’s put down our weapons and get down on our knees. I don’t think you’re ready to talk yet.”

“!”

The eyes of the Heilang Knights widened.

For those who have dedicated their lives to the sword and pursued only honor throughout their lives, to put down their weapons and kneel without ever facing swords was a request that was more humiliating.

The knight commander’s trembling eyes turned to the saintess.

He looked at Zeke with a sunken expression and gently closed his eyes.

Took.

The weapon came loose from the knight commander’s belt and fell to the floor.

and even fluff.

got down on his knees

“““Ki, Commander of the Knights!””

Other knights called him, but the captain only shook his head with a serious face.

“If you guys are also knights, don’t be mistaken about what you really need to protect.”

“ah… … .”

Took.

dump.

dump.

Those who began to kneel one by one.

They sacrificed their pride for something more important.

His body bent, but the emotions he couldn’t hide showed on his face.

‘Oh, these guys are quite… … ?’

nod

Zeke nodded his head with a satisfied face.

“Okay, now you’re ready to have a conversation.”

The reason Zeke took this approach was that he didn’t really want to fight.

No matter how weak I am right now, and even if I run out of mana, I can’t deal with people like that.

However, Zeke had no intention of facing swords at this point.

That would be the case, too, the madness and urge to kill that had plagued Zeke for a long time.

He had even been on the verge of exploding while fighting the Demon King a little while ago.

Now that such mental trauma has disappeared as if washed by Soyi’s ability.

I was still enjoying the exhilarating ecstasy every second.

‘I really don’t want to use a knife in a situation like this…’ … .’

It was a bit ironic that what they said instead was a hostage situation, but… … .

Zeke has roughly grasped their tendencies with his sharp eyes.

These guys don’t talk with their mouths, they talk with knives.

No matter how much you say it’s a misunderstanding, and even if you try to correct it, you’re just ignorant guys who rush at you with a sword.

‘It’s unavoidable. What, is it a saint? There’s no blood on the knife, so it’s safe. Safe.’

“Okay then, who shall I tell you first?”

Zeke felt the need to get information.

Putting aside the question of why the saintess was here, I reflected back on what this old woman had just said.

The saintess seemed to know well about this world.

Even now, there was a mountain of things I wanted to forcefully wake up to ask, but… … .

‘no. If you ask this woman anyway, she won’t give you a proper answer. So, it’s not too late to ask for preliminary information from those who know him.’

Of course, with the help of the saintess, Soi could have been saved, but that’s it and this is this.

I was hit in the back of the head at the end of the Dave continent

It was also a factor that it was difficult to completely trust the saintess, as they even resorted to stabbing at the time of their separation.

“Yes, the man with horizontal stripes across his face. Let’s start with the uncle. You said her name was Lily, right? What is your last name?”

* * *

The Duke of Yoheiden looked up the mountain after collecting all the surviving knights and survivors.

The lofty mountain range collapsed in half.

As the thick dust settled, I could feel its power.

“It is quiet.”

“… … Yes. I thought heaven and earth were collapsing… … .”

Beside him, Sedan, his son, said.

“Their leaders and… … . It must have been the sound of Sir Zeke fighting… … .”

“yes. What do you think the outcome would have been?”

“I can’t imagine Sir Zeke losing… … . Somewhat ominous thought… … . ah!”

The muttered Sedan’s eyes widened.

“What.”

“Soy spoon! that kid! The child has gone up the mountain!”

“What!”

Isn’t that commoner child named Soy Spoon a disciple of Zeke Kleiman?

The Duke of Joheiden was also well aware of the child’s performance in the middle.

A girl who wielded a sword like a ghost and slashed enemies like a beast.

obviously strong Probably more than anyone else in the Joheiden Knights.

However, that ability is in the realm of humans. Could she have gotten involved in that mythic fight?

“If that, that child was taken hostage… … !”

“… … .”

The Duke of Yoheiden swallowed his saliva and closed his eyes.

As he seemed to organize his thoughts, Sedan called the duke.

“father.”

“… … yes.”

“We are the Duke of Joheiden. I will not betray the grace I wear.”

Sedan hardened his face and looked straight at the Duke of Joheiden.

“We already owed him our lives countless times. Of course, we don’t know what the situation is up there right now, and it might be a hindrance for us to deal with the man he was dealing with. However! We must go nonetheless.”

“What if we get caught in a more serious situation?”

“I will devalue the hostages themselves.”

Those words surprised even the Duke of Joheiden.

“Of course, it’s the worst case. In fact, aren’t we already dead on the first day?”

The Duke of Joheiden burst into laughter as he received his second son’s unwavering gaze.

The second child was lacking in many ways compared to the calm and strong first child.

But the child grew up and was able to talk about Joheiden like this. How could this not be a pleasure?

“Yes, you are right. Hmm, let’s accept only volunteers and go up the mountain. If what comes out is a ghost or a monster, if you can hold on to even one toe… … . I should do that.”

“Yes! Father!”

The summit arrived with such a strong heart.

“!?”

The Duke of Yoheiden opened his mouth wide and looked at the scene in front of him.

“What!? Are you not speaking properly? Is our Princess Lily sore throat? Aang?”

It looked like Zeke was holding a slender girl and threatening her with a knife to her neck.

And that, too, with a very harsh tone like a barbershop.

“Hmm… uh, hero…?”

I heard the warm voice of the sedan next to me.
