Kendrick: I was born in one of the branch families of 10 Great Families. But i ended up living with with the main family due to the circumstances that my parents were in. // Ever since young age, i was closer to animals than people. // I felt that i was distant from the people of the main family who looked down on me for being from the branch. // But unlike them, the animals minds were simple, so it didn't take me long to notice if i give them love, they will give me the same love back. // They never betrayed my love towards them. // I walked the path of an anima despite all the opposition from the surrounding people while i was climbing the tower as a regular. // Without forcing the animals, i grew even closer to them. // It took a long time, but i believed that it was the real way of being an anima. // On my way up the tower, i reached a village, // I was told by the people there that the giant rabbits from the mountains were causing troubles. // Those rabbits were large and highly reproductive, so once they appeared they were not that easy to get rid of. // After listening to their story, i went to the mountain behind the village, but it was already a home to the giants. // With this amount of them, there was a chance that the military would intervene. // So i ended up telling the villagers that i will control the rabbits, and move them away before the military steps in. // I found out that these rabbits are coming down to the town in search of food. // For the time being, we locked all the gates and on the one side of the town, i put the drugs that would degrade their fertility inside their food. // And just as i thought, the giants gathered around the food.
I visited there every day to feed the giants myself. // At first, most of them avoided me, but as i was visiting them more often, the distance between us gradually started to disappear. // After so much effort, i was finally able to tame them and prevent them from reproducing anymore. // I've taught the villagers how to coexist with them. // I told them that they'd run out of food for the rabbits, but since they couldn't reproduce that problem would solve itself sooner or later. // The villagers decided to follow what i've said. // Since i taught them how to get close with those rabbits, they turned them into the pets. // As the time went by, the number of the giants decreased rapidly and i was known as an expert for the rabbits, the town's star, so i ended up staying there for quite some time. // Suddenly, a large amount of the dead rabbits were found near the village. // Witnesses testified that it was a work of a monster from the mountain. // People were terrified by the appearance of an unidentified monster. // At the request of people i went to the mountain. // With a belief that even the most hideous animals could be friends. // But, my hopes disappeared the moment i saw 'it'. // The size of a citadel, burning mane and two frightening heads. // It wasn't like any animal i've ever seen. // I couldn't even imagine being close to it. // I knelt down in despair. // The animal disappeared without causing much trouble. // I went back to the village, and when even i, who believed returned helplessly, the villagers that were in fear asked the military to intervene. // A few days later, a man named Yasratcha came from the army. // He said he knew the monster that appeared in the village and that he had a solution. // He was confident that he could control the monster with his power.
// And soon enough the battle between the two started. // You could see the flashing lights followed by the echoes of the battle coming from the mountains. // Once Yasratcha returned with the fallen monster all the villagers who saw the scene started to praise his strength. // My existence was completely forgotten. // Yasratcha said that the wild animals shouldn't be tamed because they're way too dangerous, only overwhelming power and the feeling of death could control them. // He told the villagers that the monsters would stop coming down to the town if they get rid of the giant rabbits. // People thought that Yasratcha was right, so they banished the rabbits that they were raising, some even got brutally beat to death. // The bodies of the giants that were brutally killed were all over the town. // Luckily, some terrified rabbits managed to flee back to the mountains. // I couldn't stop them. // It was painful, all of this seemed to happen due to my incompetence. // Unable to take it any longer, i risked my life to visit Yasratcha. // I told him that he made people hate and kill the rabbits. // I told him that i came to him to show him how his violent ways are wrong, and how i didn't mind if i died there. // I talked about how i controlled the rabbits, and how i was looking to find a way to live with the animals. // Listening to me, Yasratcha started laughing and contradicting me.
Yasratcha: Violent? Do you really think that your way is any more peaceful than mine? // Follow me, and i'll show you what kind of a human you are.
Kendrick: I followed Yasratcha. // The place he took me to was somewhere in a huge mountain range. // The mountain behind the village was just a part of the huge mountain range. // Soon enough i faced a shocking truth. // A scene where a large number of monsters eat the giant rabbits. // The rabbits were prey to the monsters. // Only then did i understand why those monsters came down to the town.
Yasratcha: Now, do you understand? // The giant rabbits have been prey to those beasts for a long time. // They are intelligent and they don't invade the territory of humans, for as much as it's possible. // That's why they didn't show up at the mountain close to the village, that made the rabbits run off to that place. // If you haven't intervened, the beasts would've reduced the amount of the rabbits naturally. // But you, who's lacking patience brought the rabbits to the village and made them stop reproducing, and when the beasts lacked their prey, they ended up coming down to the nearby village. // If i haven't banished the rabbits from the village, the hungry beasts would've ran over the village hurting the denizens. // So many civilians would've been killed, leading to these beasts being killed by the military. // If all of those tragedies were caused by you, the anima who said that he could control the nature and it's reproduction. // Would you still say that i was any more violent and cruel than you?
Kendrick: I couldn't say anything. // At that moment, what surrounded me wasn't the guilt because these animals were being sacrificed that surrounded me, but the helplessness of not being able to control the situation as an anima.
Yasratcha: Im not trying to push you, i actually understand how you feel.
Kendrick: What do people like you know about me?!
Yasratcha: In fact, the people like you barely talk about the truth, but deep inside they just want to dominate the others. // They get closer to the animals since they're generally easier to control than the humans.
Kendrick: That's not..
Yasratcha: Take off that hypocritical mask of yours. // Reveal that filthy and arrogant desire to rule everything. // That's your true nature. // If you're honest about it, i will give you the power needed to rule bunch of things.
Kendrick: 'The power to rule' // It was indeed an ecstatic, and sweet suggestion of depravity. // He knew what i wanted all along.
Cha: Now Hatz! // While im holding the hostages, go for the division commander!!
Hatsu: (Purification // The far and mysterious sea in east that trained this sword was said to have a seawater that purifies everything. // This sword listens to me, and not to the rankers because im weaker and more honest than them.)
Lero-Ro: Take it.
Hatsu: Is.. this a sword?
Lero-Ro: Yes, it is.
Shibisu: Wow. Are you giving it to him? I envy him, im your student as well, don't you have something for me?
Lero-Ro: It's not from me, it's from Wolhaiksong. // Baam's friends picked it and delivered it to help. // It's an ignition weapon. // It's dangerous if others knew that it's connected to Wolhaiksong, so when someone asks you where you got it, tell them that you found it on your way up the tower.
Shibsu: Ignition weapon? // Is that even available for regulars?
Lero-Ro: Yeah, D-Rank regulars are able to ignite it. I thought it was stupid too. // This sword is so proud that it never listens to his moderately strong master. // It's said that the power and the abilities of this sword when ignited also depend on the person. // Plus, a lot of rankers who tried to ignite it have died.
Shibisu: Died?!
Lero-Ro: Yes, they collapsed and couldn't get up after.
Shibisu: It's a brutal weapon..
Lero-Ro: Don't ever take this sword out recklessly. // Funny enough, this sword listens to the weak to a certain extent. // However, only those who are not greedy and have a clear mind. // If the owner that handles this sword has a bad heart, they will be killed by it. // It's extremely dangerous as it has ego. // Im giving it to you, because i think that you're the purer than anyone else Hatsu.
Shibisu: So if he's greedy, he'll lose his life. // Of course, Hatsu isn't the kind of a guy who thinks like that, but still it's way too dangerous. // I don't think that he should use a sword like that.
Lero-Ro: I, myself would prefer if he doesn't use it.
Shibisu: Then why..
Lero-Ro: This sword is dangerous by nature. It's sophistry if you don't own it just because it's dangerous. // It's definitely a dangerous sword, but if you keep climbing with Baam, there will be a time when you'll need it. // The time where you'll have to take the risks to achieve something. // If you ignite this sword with just one goal on your mind, it will certainly lend you it's strength.
Hatsu: ( Let me think purely only of saving the controlled people. // Im sure this sword will lend me it's help if i don't get any more greedy than that. ) // Donghae..! (Note: This sword's name is 東海 which means East sea.) // Ignition! // ( Only once // I can't stand any more than that. // Even once is fine.)
Kendrick: What is this feeling? // My illusions... they're getting weaker?
Hatsu: Is it working?
Cha: Alll right, he's losing control!
Kendrick: That's ridiculous! // How can a mere regular destroy my illusions...?
Cha: I won't miss a chance that Hatsu gave me!
Kendrick: It's not regenerating! // You.. you bastards!
Cha: Murder Technique - Taechogwon (Again unless someone finds the meaning of the Hanja, i can't translate this.)
Kendrick: Arghhh!
Cha: I can't believe that you've kept so many hostages inside that pyramid. // What a bad hobby you have. No - // You're 'evil'.
Kendrick: Don't come any close! // Damn it! // I climbed to the top of the pyramid with the strength that Yasratcha gave me, how could i be so humiliated.. Damn it.. // You.. The animals that i've loved and cared for all this time. Are you.. are you guys trying to help me? // Come on. // Come here and keep that man occupied until i get away safely. // What!? // What's wrong? // Protect me!! // Why don't you listen to me?! // Im your ruler!
Yasratcha: Kendrick Diel, since when have you been sitting in a chair? Is there something wrong with your legs?
Kendrick: No that's not it. Yasratcha. // Are you uncomfortable because im sitting? Well, then...
Yasratcha: No, im asking you why out of curiosity. It's just curiosity.
Kendrick: That's a relief. Actually, im going to throw away a little bit of things that i do 'myself'. The first thing is walking.
Yasratcha: Throw away what you do on your own?
Kendrick: Yes. One day, i realized that the more vulgar and stupid the animal is, the more legs it needs. // I also felt that i could move around without using my legs. // I don't move on my own. Im a person that uses others to move. // I decided to do so, because i don't have to walk on my own.
Yasratcha: That's an interesting idea. You don't have to walk because whatever you do, you'll call someone else? Am i right? //Well, do as you please.
Kendrick: Thank you Yasratcha. I knew that you'd understand me. // That's great.
Yasratcha: Im going to head out now. ( You're proud that you abandoned your two legs, the symbol of evolution, you ended up choosing degeneration. // That choice of yours is stupid, human choice that animals can't make since their every day is consisted of survival and evolution. // You're one hell of a degenerate. // Kendrick Diel. )
Shibisu/Cha: Hatsu! // Are you okay!?
Hatsu: (It's painful. It feels like the pressure is going to make me puke out my guts. // I can't believe that he's using this much power all the time. Baam....)
Shibisu/Cha: Hatsu!! // Hatsu!?
Baam's Field
Catfish: Turns have resumed. // Tell me the number of spaces and the direction you want to move to.
Baam: Well, four spaces forward!
White: .. Just as i thought. // You want to avoid me even if it means that you have to face the map boss. //
Baam: No matter how powerful that monster is, it's not stronger than the legendary high ranker.
White: Well that makes sense, but... im disappointed.
Baam: (If i fail on this route, Mr White will catch me sooner or later. // And there's no chance that i win against him. // Im not sure about this, but i still have to choose the highest possible chance to run away. // The only way to avoid Mr White is to take the jumping route. // If i win against the monsters in a turn, i'll be able to avoid Mr White. // Even if i fight the strongest possible monsters, i'll break through this map using the shortest route. ) // Let's move four spaces forward!
Catfish: Okay! // Would you like to open the prison?
Baam: Yes!! Just hurry up!
Catfish: The prison is now open! Be careful since there's enemies inside of it.
Baam: (It's big..! // But there's only one?)
Announcer: As i said, the jumping route reduces the time need, but the strength of the imprisoned monsters increases. // The monster that came out of the prison, is a middle-tier predator that even Rankers are unwilling to face. // They're currently in the breeding season, so males are more violent than usual. // But still, you shouldn't let your guard down because there's only one.
Baam: ( It's much stronger than the previous enemies.)
White: Hey, what are you doing, this is not entertaining at all. // Take care of it with all your might.
Baam: Do you really think it's going to go your way? // You just want me to run out of energy so i can get caught by you sooner!
White: Im just giving you an advice for your own good. // The only reason why im advising you is because im afraid of losing my prey. // You're still not using your powers properly. // The forces from various sources are not in the perfect balance. // Because of that, your power isn't complete. // Order the forces within you to become one. // Form a single powerful force. // When all of those forces work together, they condense and become one. // Only then you'll be able to use your powers properly.
Baam: ( Order them to become one..?)
White: What? Are you perhaps interested?
Baam: No! // I won't listen to a man like you.
White: You're stubborn. But.. // I don't think that the things will go as smoothly as you wished.
Baam: (The horn has been regenerated, and it became bigger!)
White: (Slayer Candidate. // It's only a matter of time before you burn your strength. // The day i first devoured the soul of others. I was in a lot of confusion as well. // No matter how much power i wanted, was it right to eat other people's souls? // But if it was already irreversible, what could you do about the power that you just took in. // My thirst for power made me swallow other people's strength while i was confused. // The more i swallowed, the more severe the confusion was. // But at some point that confusion disappeared. // All i could hear was the sound of a sword. // All the sounds of the eaten sounds, that have been so loud, just disappeared when they got cut by the sword. // Only then, did i get to understand myself. // I was not like them. // Ever since birth i have been a degenerate predator with this blood stained crown. // So there was no need to worry about it since the beginning. // This is a power that could not be reached without the bloodshed. This crown is symbol given to the monarch that's stepping over the dead bodies. // And im sure the same goes for you. // I'd love to see you wear this same crown, thirsty for power. // I want to see you gain that great strength, to get corrupted by it.
