Chapter 214: Big Brother (8)

...

"Hey. Am I still alive?"

[Yeah. You're fine.]

That was an inside joke they shared. It had already been 28765 years since they created this joke, but they couldn't think of anything better.

[Am I still in good shape?]

"Yeah. You're in good shape."

Maybe it wasn't a joke anymore. It was more like a ritual to ensure that they still existed.

[But I feel like I won't be in good shape soon.]

"Yeah. I feel like I'm dying also."

Jaehwan answered and crossed a line in the air. It was added to his unique world. But there wasn't just one line - there were countless lines made within the space of his unique world. There was a total of 9,624 lines. It meant that they had repeated the conversation 9,624 times.

[How about we do the truth game again?]

"...You've talked for two hundred thousand years and you still got more to say?"

[Are you up for it or not?]

"Yeah. Okay."

And Beastlain began to speak rapidly.

[Hey Jaehwan, let me tell you as a senior who's lived 784 years more than you. You can't do this to me. You see? You see, you son of a b*tch? Just kill me for god's sake!]

This conversation... was it 654 times? Jaehwan answered as he striked through another line.

"What are you talking about? I was inside the tower for two thousand years in <Chaos>. I'm probably older than you now."

[The tower? I was in there too, remember?]

"...Oh."

[And you didn't stay for two thousand years in there. It was probably like a few hundred years.]

Jaehwan's hand stopped drawing the line; instead, he created a new colored line. It meant that they were talking about this for the first time.

"How do you know?"

[I am still a demon, remember? I have a way of keeping track of things. There's a limit to how far you can speed up the time within the Tower of Nightmares. I'm sure it wasn't two thousand years. I think you felt like you lived there for two thousand years only because your mind believed it to be so.]

"...I see."

Jaehwan realized his sense of time was off when he was in that tower. Two thousand years was only considering if the tower sped up time like it was supposed to.

"Then maybe this place too..."

[No. Two hundred thousand years have passed here.]

"Right."

[Yeah. Look at your clock.]

Jaehwan turned to his 'clock' within his unique world.

200,001 years 113 days 11 hours 27 minutes 39 seconds... 40 seconds...

It was a [Part] that Jaehwan created after 150 years as he didn't want to continue counting time. But that wasn't the only [Part] he created. He also created a television-like [Part] and a bed-like [Part]. However, the place was outside the Little Brother network, so the only thing the television displayed was Jaehwan's memory.

It currently showed Jaehwan fighting against the Frost Dragon King alone on the 99th floor.

[It was fun back then.]
