“I am the history of your struggle, the trace of your resistance, and the reward of your pain.”

He hadn’t been referring to Jinwoo after the hunter had become the Player, but rather, his life before. Each word the Monarch spoke reverberated in his heart anew.

“The anxious Architect did as I asked and reached out to you.”

The double dungeon. The tests of survival. The Player. Everything had been part of the Architect’s plan to prepare a new vessel for the Shadow Monarch.

“The Architect had ample time to study humans during the different time loops. From this, he gleaned that he could create a system based on a beloved pastime to help them adapt to my mighty power.”

“A beloved pastime.” In other words, video games. That explained why the system had been designed as such.

Jinwoo had been the only success to come from this experiment.

“The Architect borrowed my power to create the system, and the system gradually transformed your body to suit my needs.”

“But you betrayed the Architect, right?”

Jinwoo recalled the angel statue from the double dungeon that had thrown a fit about how the Shadow Monarch had apparently deceived the other Monarchs. The Shadow Monarch had broken his contract with the Architect and chosen Jinwoo instead.

“Why did you do that?” asked Jinwoo.

“……”

For the first time, the Shadow Monarch hesitated to answer. He looked to be deep in thought, so Jinwoo didn’t rush him.

“I merely wanted to.”

It was rather simple for how long the Monarch had deliberated, but Jinwoo also found himself chuckling.

“I suppose I didn’t want to lose you because I enjoyed our time together.”

The Shadow Monarch had chosen to assimilate with Jinwoo’s personality instead of overwriting it and stealing his body. The Monarch had chosen to coexist, and this was the result. The Shadow Monarch slowly took hold of the helmet covering his face and pulled it off. Jinwoo was startled at the face underneath.

……!

Jinwoo’s own face stared back at him. But that wasn’t all. When Jinwoo looked down, he realized that he also had been cloaked in armor as black as night, just like what the Shadow Monarch was wearing. The two were mirror images.

“I have become you and you have become me.” The Shadow Monarch meant that quite literally. “It matters not which of us controls your body.”

The two were already the same being.

“So I will give you a choice. You get to decide.” When the Shadow Monarch raised his left hand, people Jinwoo missed dearly appeared. “You can enjoy the eternal rest with the beautiful dream you’ve made in this domain of death.”

There was President Gunhee Go guffawing, Jinwoo’s mother before she contracted the Eternal Sleep Disease, and even a younger version of himself.

“If not……” When the Shadow Monarch raised his right hand, the people disappeared, and an insanely huge dragon flew toward him. An army of dragons followed close behind and began burning down the city. “You will have to go back to reality and fight.”

Jinwoo grimly watched the Dragon King and his army wreak havoc. He then asked a question.
