Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After the Milky Way stabilized, the cultural and entertainment industries began to flourish. The ‘horror stories’ that were popular some time ago were quickly used by businessmen who smelled business opportunities and soon formed a stable industrial chain.
“…Have you heard? One of the ‘Top Ten Unsolved Mysteries of the Milky Way’ that has been trending on the Internet recently seems to be related to the place we’re about to enter….”
Two young alien tourists were discussing the ‘Unsolved Mysteries of the Milky Way’ in a tourist spaceship filled with tourists.
The spaceship they were on was originally going to a ‘Zoo Galaxy’ for a tour, but a particle storm inexplicably appeared in the galaxy they had to pass by, which forced them to take a detour to the ‘Zoo Galaxy.’
“Of course, I heard…It seems like countless spaceships had mysteriously disappeared in this place. Even the discoverer of the galaxy has disappeared….”
“…Isn’t that so? If I had known that we would pass by here, I wouldn’t have participated in this trip….”
They were still discussing, their expressions full of worry, as if they were really afraid of an accident.
A seemingly knowledgeable adventurer overheard their conversation and confidently interrupted it at that moment.
“That’s all fake! I’ve been to this starfield many times, and it’s one of the busiest star passages in the universe. How could such a groundless disappearance have happened?”
He kept showing off his knowledge before the two young alien ladies. He even bragged about his asteroid-level adventure certificate, which could be obtained if one had money.
The two alien ladies seemed revered by his ‘magnificent figure’ and kept pestering him with questions.
The adventurer enjoyed the feeling of being worshipped. After a series of flattery, the two alien ladies gradually brought him to their cabin. They seemed to want to continue listening to his ‘great adventure story’ there.
That made the adventurer even more flattered. He thought that his luck in love was coming. Although they were of different races, he wasn’t one to have restrictions. Moreover, the efficient reproductive isolation would not burden him.
However, just as he was about to show off his prowess, the cabin door was locked, and the entire room became dark.
“…You want to play something exciting? Then I won’t go easy on you, okay?” He still couldn’t understand the current situation. His amateur adventure life made him completely unable to sense any danger.
“Then we won’t go easy on you too, okay?” His words were repeated, and the cabin was filled with chaotic and malicious noises.
Before he could react, the two alien ladies had become glowing lifeforms that enveloped him.
In just a few seconds, the adventurer disappeared without a trace.
When the lights were lit up again, there were still three people in the cabin, but they all had strange smiles.
“…You see, the lifeforms of this dimension are so stupid. It’s really hard to understand why those terrifying ‘demons’ would be born in such a place….”
“…Don’t say anything else. Hurry up and infiltrate. I can’t wait to leave this damn place….”
As a result, the tourist spaceship lost contact for a while when it entered a certain brown dwarf system. The tourism department responsible for maintaining communication with it instantly entered a tense state, almost sending people to check on the situation.
However, the tourist spaceship soon reappeared on the ‘Tourist Star Map’ and reported that it had been disturbed by a particle storm.
That kind of situation was not rare in interstellar space, and because of that, no one suspected anything. In just a few days, it was forgotten.
However, those who returned from their travels gradually returned to their own civilizations and caused a huge impact…
On the mother planet of the Seculus Vengeance Crusade, the leader of the vengeful civilization was busy with approval work.
Even though electronic marking had become mainstream, the leader still insisted on using that not-so-efficient method.
But those familiar with him knew that was a way for him to inscribe his past.
He was the one who had once made the entire civilization pursue pro-foreign policies and also the one who had turned the entire civilization into militaristic authority.
He didn’t blame his current self but felt remorse for his past self.
On the first day after the resort planet was blown up, the angry people cursed him crazily, believing that he was a coward who caused the deaths of tens of billions of his compatriots.
The vicious accusations and curses almost crushed him and forced him to resign from his position as a ‘leader.’
However, he pulled himself together and withstood the pressure with the anger of revenge. He quickly reorganized the government with iron-blooded means and launched a war against his enemy, the Keen Empire.
He had succeeded. He had destroyed that enemy forever in the long river of history.
But he also failed. Every time he closed his eyes, he seemed to see the souls of his billions of compatriots crying at him.
He had to go through a long treatment period to eliminate that sadness. However, even so, he insisted on dealing with physical documents daily, just like the day when he heard the terrible news.
He wanted to engrave that matter in his life and constantly remind himself that he had to be cold-blooded..
