Never Die Extra Chapter 220

Chapter 220

Evan D. Sherden, Expanding his power. (4)
“I found it.”
The head of the exchange sat face to face with Evan as he talked with him. Evan’s eyes shone violently when he heard that, but… he soon realized that the head of the exchange’s expression was strange. Although the news was positive, his eyes were serious.
“Why, what’s the problem?”
“Master, I’m so sorry. We are one step late.”
In the report issued by the head of the exchange, the search results for children with the names “Default” and “Name” were written in the surrounding countries.
Yes. Evan thought about the moment he met Default in the Witch Forest. If the protagonist’s name in Yo-Ma Great War 5 is this, Evan wondered if the protagonists in Yo-Ma Great War 3 and 4 were also the same! Thus, he called the head of the exchange to find everyone with the names “Default” and “Name”.
“In conclusion, there was no child named Default. On the other hand, I found a child with the name ‘Name…’”
The head of the exchange’s voice while reading out the content of the report. Evan listened to the dying voice and turned the report over. The content written in it was extremely simple.
-A child named “Name”: an orphan who lost his parents. Witnesses testify that he is weak and unable to lift little heavy objects.
Half a year ago, he went into the Merdin dungeon with only one dagger and went missing.
“He went missing?”
Evan muttered with both eyes fixed on the papers. First of all, it was clear that this child on the papers was a newcomer. In addition to that, the name “Name”, and finally his initial equipment, a dagger.
Although there may be a slight difference in timing, there was only one conclusion if these characteristics were in harmony. It was obvious that this guy was the protagonist of Yo-Ma Great War 4.
By the way, the child was the main character.
“He didn’t come out after he got stronger, but he just went missing?”
“Yes… Yes, Master.
A month after that, the child’s clothes and dagger were found in the dungeon. And he left those things and disappeared…
When a person died in a dungeon, the body became mana and was absorbed into the dungeon. If the clothes and weapons were of good quality, the dungeon would swallow them up, but if they were ordinary items without mana, they were usually thrown out. So, it became as if only the body had disappeared.
When this happened, only the words were saying that he was missing, but in fact, he just died. The head of the exchange replied with a very regrettable expression.
“Sorry. It hasn’t been a while since I promised to find all the new people, but now I’m delivering this news…”
“No, no… It won’t be.”
It couldn’t be. The protagonist of Yo-Ma Great War 4 was the most persistent in the entire series, and was even a character called the “Emperor of Bad Luck”.
The character was like a “symbol of life”, born and full of evil as a weak newcomer and conquered dungeons along with a commitment to live.
Everyone who faced the main character in the in-game commented, “The complete will in those eyes will overwhelm even the dark.”
“But there is no way that he died in such a regretful manner. Maybe he was another newcomer kid with the name ‘Name’. No way…”
It couldn’t be.
Evan punched his cheek as if he were trying to stop his brain from trying to escape. It hurt to death.
“Young Master!? Are… are you okay?!”
“I am fine. No, wait, I’m actually not.”
Soon his cheeks swelled, but Evan didn’t mind. After reviewing the report several times, he came to a clear conclusion.
The exchange chief certainly found the person, but the main character of Yo-Ma Great War 4 was already dead.
‘If you think about it, that’s natural. Yo-Ma Great War 4’s protagonist is said to survive any crisis. Still, in the end, that’s because the protagonist is controlled by players who can endlessly challenge themselves no matter how many deaths.’
The same was true of any game. As for the game scenario, even though he was an invincible protagonist who survived any crisis and an indomitable protagonist, the player who played the game was only able to overcome it after repeating the road by dying many times.
No matter how great the NPCs’ achievements in the game, players who controlled the characters in the outside world already know it. The invincible character who had never died and returned from all battlefields knew how many deaths had been accumulated and completed.
‘Yo-Ma Great War 4 had a lot of particularly vicious crises. It wasn’t possible to get through the crises normally without being able to survive again and again. If such fate was given to human beings who actually existed, and not just on games……’
‘Rather, it can be said that it is natural to die. In a crisis where death comes from one step, one step out of order yields death without fail.’
If Evan had found him earlier, he could have nurtured his talent… But it was already too late.
“M-m-master…”
“You haven’t done anything wrong, so don’t despair. The situation is just a little bleak.”
Evan dropped on the sofa and sighed once more. In the game, he was the protagonist who took such a great step, but he died so vainly in reality.
‘Now I know how great Grandpa Leo was.’
The environment of Yo-Ma Great War 2 was also vicious, and he was able to survive the harsh environment without dying and saving the continent.
His respect for Leo and Bernard had risen. Evan now wanted to see Grandpa Leo unbearably.
‘No, you can’t pass it on to Grandpa Leo. Why do I keep trying to run away like this? It’s like the nature of a damn extra.’
The protagonist, who had to solve the crisis that will come on the continent and unite the new race, had died.
Then, who should play the role of the protagonist? There was only one answer! If it wasn’t going to be him, who would do it?
‘I have to make Shine the protagonist.’
He also created the Dungeon Knights with the new race as the main axis, and Evan knew the scenario of Yo-Ma Great War 4. As a bonus, Shine was growing at an incomparably faster pace than the Silent Knight that appeared in Yo-Ma Great War 3.
If that was the case, he would perform any number of activities in place of the main character or beyond the main character!
“You’re showing a firmly determined expression…”
“Yes, it has shifted greatly, but the plan can be fixed from now on.”
“…I always believe in you, Master. I believe you will surely lead this city, this country, and even this world in the right direction!”
‘Yeah, thank you for trusting me, but I won’t be doing that. Shine will do it.’
However, Evan held his hands and faced the head of the exchange. His eyes were twinkling, so Evan decided not to speak the words he had in his heart.
“Please continue to search for people with these two names. There will still be one more.”
“Okay!”
Even if the protagonist of Yo-Ma Great War 4 was dead, the protagonist of Yo-Ma Great War 3 would still be alive. Of course, there were many crises in Yo-Ma Great War 3, but the basic specifications are different.
The protagonist of Yo-Ma Great War 3 was not from a rookie group, but had an unusually high initial status among humans. He was also born with the highest talent, so his early growth was not difficult, and he would never die without fully blooming at a young age.
‘That is, if I find him in advance and raise him well.’
Evan checked the scenario of the Yo-Ma Great War 3 protagonist development plan again and again. As long as one of the protagonists disappeared, it was natural that there would be another to appear. This new protagonist should not die.
“Master!? Did the head of the exchange violate you?!”
When Evan finished meeting with the head of the exchange and came out of the room, Shine, who was waiting, shouted in horror. However, Evan smiled slightly and shook his head.
“If the head of the exchange had the skills to hurt me, he would have ordered a knight, not a merchant, to do that.”
“Oh, that’s right. So, did you hurt yourself?”
“No, dude, I was just trying to wake myself up.”
“If you tried waking yourself twice, even the Demon King would die.”
“About the Demon King…”
Evan gazed at Shine with the words. Shine, who received his meaningful gaze, looked at him innocently.
“For that reason, you will have to suffer more in the future. Please take care of the role of the main character.”
“Wait? … What? What do you mean? What?”
“We should do something quickly about that scimitar. Let’s go make your weapon.”
“Are you serious!? Are you really making my weapon!? You’re not just stuffing with words this time?”
“…Silent Night didn’t have this kind of personality.”
There was no dissatisfaction in terms of his ability, but couldn’t he have done more with his personality? Evan, feeling regretful about his education policy, led Shine to leave the building.
‘First, let’s start by processing the Scimitar and making it into a double dagger material. The goal would be to split the Devil Runes in half. Not so long ago, I cleaned up the Devil Rune of the boots with my mother’s help so that it would be possible.’
“Yeah, you need to quickly master the magic resistance and curse resistance. Those two things are essential if you want to deal with the weapon I will make for you.”
“…Can’t you just make it a more ordinary weapon?”
“Let’s work hard together, starting today. Okay?”
“Yes, I will try. I can try.”
The two continued to talk casually and headed to the Brotherhood Pharmacy where Bernard was waiting. It was when the artifact creation project of the ancient era started due to the accelerated scenario of Yo-Ma Great War 5.
After a few more months, Evan’s birthday came again.
“A toast, for the endless glory of the Dungeon Knights led by Evan D. Sherden, who made great efforts to prevent this reflux even though it has not been officially launched yet!”
Cheers!
Evan’s fifteenth birthday was celebrated in commemoration of the safe and unharmed dungeon backflow, as well as the achievement of the Dungeon Knights.
Maybell decorated a whole street and prepared Evan’s birthday party.
“I thought Master Evan would do something!”
“I didn’t know he could slay an ogre with those kids.”
“Ha! Did you see those mercenaries from the outside? They were too shocked to even react!”
“Cheers! Master Evan, do you know what you are going to name the Dungeon Knights?”
Everyone who attended the birthday party made a toast. Even Evan’s older brother, Eric, who would become an adult in October this year, drank. Only Evan wasn’t given a glass.
“The Dungeon Knights will be officially launched when they reach adulthood, so we haven’t named them yet. But wait, they’re making a toast to me… does it make sense that I can’t get alcohol!?”
“Let’s wait three more years!”
“Why is the Sherden family so strict?”
“What happens if you give Master Evan a drink?”
“…Shall we give it to him?”
Some explorers, who had been drinking even before the party started, snuck up to Evan with glasses of alcohol, but were soon thrown out by Shine and Belois.
Operation “Give Master Evan a little drink”, which would be popular over the next few years, marked its grand opening.
“Evan, happy birthday!”
“Brother Evan!”
His family also sincerely congratulated him. In particular, Elizabeth, who was now four years old and could speak completely fluently, ran around and delighted Evan.
“When I grow up, I want to marry Evan!”
“Yes, let’s marry brother, Liz!”
If the women around him had not sincerely opposed Elizabeth, it would have kept a warmer atmosphere. Evan thought about it and then looked around with a smile.
The first thing he could see was his family, Bernard, Illoin, and Hannah. Maybell and the executives of the Brotherhood Corporation were also celebrating in full swing.
The guild’s main forces, which maintained a close relationship with the Phoenix and Paradise Guild, were also opening their seats and drinking alcohol. The Ironwall Knights were incomparably stronger than the ones originally in Yo-Ma Great War 3, catching the attention of some of the witches, who were looking for good men.
Above all, Belois and Shine guarded Evan’s side and shot down explorers bringing drinks, while the Dungeon Knights enjoyed the party atmosphere and naively enjoyed the food.
“Good. Really good.”
Evan felt genuinely proud and muttered quietly.
Even if the Demon King came, he thought he could win, but Evan was afraid that he might conjure him if he spoke this aloud, so he decided to keep quiet about it.
