Revenge with the Power of the Final Boss

The Black Serpent That Devours the World, or as those who know its body color call it, The Black Serpent That Devours the World.

The final boss of the original story appeared before me, still a 10-year-old. Well, it wasn't exactly an appearance—it was more of an error in how it manifested.

‘Sharp tendrils are visible, but no form is seen?’

The form of The Black Serpent That Devours the World was nowhere to be seen. Instead, the tendrils that seemed to represent its power were visible. The sharp tendril that had obliterated Rupert the writer had emerged from thin air.

"So, you’re the final boss of the original?"

In fact, calling it the "original" was a bit ambiguous. It could be called the "original" since it referred to what had originally happened, but that event wasn’t really a fictional story—it was supposed to be something that happened in another world.

• That’s right. Reincarnator. Your name is Baek Seo-jun, is it not?

"Yes. Baek Seo-jun. That’s my name."

Kim Ho-cheon is dead. My identity was largely based on Kim Ho-cheon, but now, I was Baek Seo-jun.

I was the one abandoned pitifully by my biological parents, sold to villains, and thrown into hell.

• Baek Seo-jun. Yes, Baek Seo-jun.

As it spoke, the tendrils created by Ramisa seemed to hesitate, as if it were thinking about something.

"What are you thinking?"

• I’m thinking about how to view you. Hmm, you are human, but a reincarnator. You could be considered a hope for me... but you’re still just a human.

I could almost understand what Ramisa was saying.

‘To an external entity, humans are insignificant.’

It seemed that, due to the issue with The Fox That Devours Worlds, I might be necessary to it, but exactly how I was needed remained unclear.

• Yes.

• No, that’s not it. A reincarnator like you has become strong enough to kill Terenity. If I harm you, I might face retribution eventually.

• It’s not a difficult task. What I want is survival. The Fox That Devours Worlds will kill me if it finds me, so I’m hiding here in this rift... but that will only last so long.

• I want to make a contract with you. You have potential. If you don’t gain my power, you’ll continue to grow stronger. And if you meet the one who killed Terenity, you might become even stronger than me.

• It’s not difficult. I will pass my power to you. The essence of your soul is growth. The human soul can transcend worlds, and because it has received the wishes of a world, it holds potential. If my power is added to yours, you will grow faster and become infinitely stronger. So, protect me from The Fox That Devours Worlds and others. If you have my power, you will be undetectable by other strong beings. I, too, will be safe from their detection.

• What happens next? You want me to not consume the world like I did before, don’t you?

• Of course. If you ensure my safety, I’ll fulfill your wishes.

• Allies? Hmm, yes. You are an equal partner. An equal ally.
