Player Who Became A Constellation [EN]: Chapter 1

Player as a Constellation-1 (1/250)

Prologue

“For Valhalla!”

The roar echoed.

“Glory to great Asgard!”

Hundreds of thousands of warriors in armor raised their weapons.

That wasn’t all. Beside them,

-Kkyaaaaaa!

The undead crawled out of hell and walked around-.

『Kuoooooooo-!』

Giants advanced.

In the sunset twilight, someone watched his army.

Jet-black armor.

A fur-lined cloak fluttered as he gripped a golden spear.

The being wearing a goat skull helmet flashed red eyes.

‘How many years has it been since I came to this world?’

I’ve had so many experiences.

Waking up alone on a remote island, I became the final boss monster in the game.

Numerous knights and wizards have opposed me with their own interests.

But behold!

Their bodies are buried in the ground, proving that their courage was mere foolishness and arrogance!

Even so, those who want to defeat him gather.

He looked ahead.

Opposite, light is pouring out from the vast land.

The army of light there.

Those who gathered to defeat him and invaded his territory.

“Foolish!”

No kingdom, no empire can stop his forces.

If anyone blocks his way, there will only be destruction before them!

“Brave ones-”

As he slammed his spear down, his armor writhed, and black haze rose.

“Show them what the Twilight of the Gods is like-”

The black haze took the shape of snakes and wolves and howled.

“To the enemies!”

Warriors and the undead.

The giants looked up at the supreme being.

“My name is Loki.”

As if answering his call, they raised their weapons and shouted.

“I am the constellation of the end that will bring about Ragnarok!”

Episode 1

-Haa… Haa…!-

A girl was running, breathing heavily.

The Nord tribe.

A tribe that mostly makes a living by plundering, and the Ragna tribe was also part of it.

The girl, belonging to the Ragna tribe, was running through the forest, thinking about how this happened.

The village was burning, and the villagers were being slaughtered by armored looters.

The voices of the weak’s sorrow and the strong’s joy echoed.

The festival for her coming-of-age ceremony at the age of 15 had turned into hell in an instant.

And she had no choice but to run to ‘that place’ that she had tried so hard to avoid.

-A demon lives there!

A story passed down among the Nord tribes since ancient times.

-He is the Moon, the Darkness, and the Constellation that rules Death and Sin!

Running, Cancun felt like her heart was about to burst.

-If you offer your soul to him, he will grant any wish!

The shaman’s words to Cancun on her 15th birthday flashed through her mind.

How long had she been running? An old man, who appeared to be in his 70s, appeared in front of her, one of the influential elders in the village.

“Ca, Cancun!”

The elder’s eyes widened when he saw Cancun.

“You were here! Kudan has brought in outsiders!”

Cancun stared at the elder with a hardened face.

“U, Uncle?”

A bear-like figure, but with a tender heart.

And the man who always smiled at her and treated her like his own daughter.

Kudan Ragna.

Her uncle.

That person is now-.

“It’s a rebellion!”

“……!”

“Kudan, that Kudan has started a rebellion! He brought mercenaries from outside and attacked the village-!”

“What are you talking about? Why would Uncle hire mercenaries…?”

“Your father is also dead. W, we are going to die now!”

“T, that can’t be… Why would Uncle do that-!”

“It’s because of you!”

Cancun’s face hardened.

The elder grabbed Cancun’s shoulders.

“Ugh-!”

Her shoulders felt like they were tearing apart; he was holding her so painfully.

“Y, you are the priestess… The village is like this because you didn’t become a human sacrifice according to the shaman’s oracle [a prophecy or divine communication]!”

“……”

“You have brought disaster to this village!”

Cancun closed her mouth.

-She is a child who will bring disaster!

Cancun recalled the words the priest said at her coming-of-age ceremony.

-Cancun, you will become a priestess serving him. So become a sacrifice and serve him!

The elder took out a dagger from his chest.

“The shaman was right!”

“Wa, wait a minute…”

Cancun took a step back, but she couldn’t escape because the elder was holding her shoulder with his right hand.

Cancun’s face turned pale.

“Y, you must die to end this disaster-!”

It was then.

Stab-!

A large arrow pierced the elder’s chest and stopped right in front of Cancun’s nose.

“Keu… Keuk-!”

The elder spat out blood and looked back, his eyes wide open.

“Ku…Kudan…!”

He uttered those words and collapsed on the spot.

Cancun looked at the man standing tall beyond the empty space where the elder had fallen.

“……!”

A bear-like physique and steel-like muscles.

A man with a shaggy beard and a large ax on his back.

In his hand was the great bow that had just killed the elder.

Cancun could tell who that person was.

‘Un…cle…?’

Kudan Ragna.

The culprit who started the rebellion, killed Cancun’s father, and massacred the elders, and Cancun’s uncle.

Behind him, mercenaries who had killed her tribesmen stood tall.

Cancun’s face turned pale as she looked at them.

She took a step back and then started to run away.

“Cancun-!”

Her uncle’s angry voice is heard from behind.

It’s not the voice that was always kind and gentle.

It’s an excited and agitated voice.

“Chase her-!”

People who received orders from her uncle began to chase Cancun.

Cancun quickly ran through the forest and raised her head.

The place she was heading to was-.

-Become a human sacrifice and appease the demon’s wrath!

The sacred place.

The place where she had her coming-of-age ceremony, and where the being called the Constellation of Sin, or the demon, was located.

She stepped into the castle.

She runs through the long corridor with red carpets past the open castle gate. And she could see someone standing at the end of the corridor.

An old man wearing tattered black robes.

The priest, Shaman.

Cancun pleaded as she looked at him.

She asked him to ward off the disaster, but the shaman just laughed and didn’t give her a proper answer.

“She’s hiding here!”

“Find her!”

The voices of the looters were heard from behind.

Eventually, Cancun headed to the place where the demon was.

The magnificent King’s Hall.

A huge throne made of bones, a spiral-shaped twisted goat skull.

A demon wearing jet-black armor with it as a helmet.

And a sword stuck in the demon’s heart.

Cancun looked at the demon and shouted.

“Please… Constellation of Sin! You can take my soul, so please. Save our villagers…!”

She begged, saying that she would give her soul, so please stop her uncle and stop this terrible massacre.

Bang!

At that time, the door was opened roughly, and her uncle’s subordinates who had attacked the village rushed into the audience hall.

“She was here!”

“This is Lord Kudan’s order. Catch that girl!”

They approached Cancun, and the closer they got to Cancun, the more she retreated towards the sealed ‘demon’ on the ‘cursed throne.’

The shaman who followed behind only made way and did not stop her.

Cancun shouted at the demon in fear.

“Please, please…! Save us…!”

But the demon did not answer.

Even if she grabbed the demon’s legs and begged, he didn’t move like a corpse.

She realized. What was in front of her was just a ‘model’….

“Let’s stop now. Cancun.”

At that time, the main culprit who caused this terrible tragedy entered the sacred place.

Cancun’s uncle, Kudan Ragna.

He entered the audience hall with a confident gait.

He shouted to his subordinates.

“What are you doing? Drag her out! Take Cancun and leave this place!”

“……!”

Cancun’s face turned pale.

Weapon, she needed a weapon!

She struggled to pull out the sword stuck in the demon.

“Are you trying to wake up the demon? Haha! Stop it. That’s just superstition!”

Kudan’s subordinates laughed at her.

Cancun didn’t listen to those words.

Now she had no god or demon. She would rather fight and die honorably than be dragged away and humiliated by her uncle!

But the sword was not drawn.

The looters came from behind and captured Cancun.

Her whole body was suppressed by the men.

She fell into despair.

“Shaman, I’m sorry for making a fuss. I have no intention of defiling the sacred place, so please have mercy.”

The traitor, Kudan Ragna, asked the shaman for understanding.

No matter how much of a traitor he was, he couldn’t upset the Nord tribe’s priest.

“Do as you please. If you don’t defile the sacred place, I have no intention of touching you either.”

With the shaman’s permission, the looters dragged Cancun out.

She couldn’t avenge her father, nor could she save the villagers.

“I… hate….”

The Nord warriors grabbed her body and dragged her down from the throne.

She did not let go of the handle of the sword stuck in her to resist them until the end.

Frustration and despair gnawed at her heart.

“Plea…se….”

Please.

Anyone is fine. Save me…!

Cancun shed tears of despair.

‘Help me!’

At that moment, the sword was pulled out.

“……!”

The Nord warriors were surprised and froze.

“N, no-!”

The shaman grabbed his head and screamed.

“The demon…, the Constellation of Sin is awakening-!”

“……!”

A quiet silence came as if fear covered the cursed sacred place.

Everyone turned their eyes to the demon sitting on the throne, but… there was no change.

The Nord warriors breathed a sigh of relief, sweating profusely.

“Ha, haha! You were scared, weren’t you?”

“D, don’t be ridiculous. Who’s scared! Who would believe such superstition….”

The ‘demon sealed for trying to judge God’ was just a ‘legend.’

The Nord warriors could not contain their anger at being frightened.

Of course, the target of their anger was Cancun.

The Nord warriors suppressed her and threw her to the floor.

She couldn’t move her body because her arms, legs, and head were held.

‘He…lp me.’

Tears streamed down her cheeks from her eyes. The demon was reflected in her blurry eyes.

“Plea…se… help me!”

It was when her desperate cry echoed in the audience hall.

The deep darkness of the helmet.

From the abyss….

Slowly, red eyes were filled.

…He woke up.

Someone muttered.

-Kkyaaaaaaaak!

Wooddeuk! Kkirik Kkirik!!

The bizarre screams of the spirits echoed in the sacred place.

The demon, who had been asleep for hundreds of years, moved with an eerie sound as if forcibly fitting his bones together.

He raised his head and twisted his whole body, loosening his stiff body.

It wasn’t just the demon who woke up.

The cursed sacred place vibrated.

-Kkyaaaaak!

The black aura that had formed at some point filled the inside of the sacred place. The aura wrapped around the demon on the throne and took the shape of a ‘snake’ and a ‘wolf.’

The spirits made of bones crawled up, breaking the floor as if they were coming out of hell.

“What…?!”

“U, undead!”

“Everyone, prepare for battle-!”

The Nord warriors shouted at the top of their lungs.

They were frightened by this bizarre sight and hurriedly gathered their equipment.

Cancun raised her head and looked at the demon.

The demon moved his stiff body, making a sound of cracking bones.

Red flames that looked like souls were burning in his eyes and mouth.

―Krrrreung…!

The shapes of wolves and snakes emitting an ominous jet-black aura. They were attached to the demon’s armor as if they were one body.

And they growled at the unfamiliar humans as if they had a will.

The demon, their master, raised his drooping head and flashed red eyes.

The demon looked at everyone in the audience hall.

And… he uttered words that would freeze even their hearts.

“Who… are you?”

It was the moment when Cancun’s despair turned into hope.
