Chereads / I Level Up the Weakest Solo Leveler / Chapter 13 - A Reason Above Desire

Chapter 13 - A Reason Above Desire

"What—what just happened"

It was unexpected, the system was shattered into pieces like broken glass and fell. Before hitting the ground all of the pieces vanished.

Than the man replied,

"Don't worry about it, I didn't destroy the system I just removed it for a while so it doesn't disturb our conversation"

To Khan, who was surprised, someone just randomly appeared and shattered the system like it was nothing without even moving.

It took a second for Khan to realise the person sitting on the bench is no weak-peak. Even though the system already said the rank of the person was above infinite.

Khan had never seen someone with such a power holder except for the god himself.

He asked the man without hesitation.

"Are you god or something", he might look surprised but his expression was serious mode.

The man smiled and with his polite voice replied.

"I told you before demon king khan, that I am just a storyteller who tells his story to the world"

Khan, keeping his cold, asked Further.

"Stop playing with such jokes and answer me who you are? Are you the creator of this system"

It did seem like the man might have been the system creator since he was able to do such a thing to the system.

Khan wanted his answer because he was at the moment filled with questions.

Why wouldn't you ask? When you have seen a lot of things happening.

"It seems it's of no use telling you, telling you again and again, who I am."

The person was really just a storyteller. His name…

Sigh…

The man took a sigh. It was just a normal sigh at first but to khan. He felt it, the danger the man held even in his breath was a threat.

His breath, I saw it. That breath was not normal, how can a breath have a flow of universe in it?

What khan saw was like a universe, in the form of smoke coming out of the man's breath. But he just didn't see but felt everything within it, each and every energy.

"Was this enough? Or do you need anything else that I have to show you, so you listen to me?"

Without having any choice and seeing this was enough for khan to no longer have any doubt in his mind and he accepted the man as what he had said.

Khan moved further and sat beside him,

"So, what is it that you came here to meet me, it can't be that you came here without any reason? Am I correct"

Hmm… he looked at Khan who already was looking at him. The storyteller moved his eyes away and spoke.

"Since you were curious about my real identity I will let you know, people know me for my stories, some call me a dimension traveller and some call me a world creator. And some with names like creator of everything"

"But the most known is the great storyteller, I do like to be called by one of my name which I have is Yu Jun since you live in Korean why not I also name myself like that"

Yu Jun continued further.

"I'm impressed by how far you have came, but let's not talk about something that's not important"

Khan looked at the man, he was bothered by Yu Jun not answering his questions like before.

The man Yu Jun, what is he even trying to say? I don't get it.

"just cut the chase and tell me what I asked, since I don't like listening to things that has nothing to do with me"

Yu Jun looked at the impatient khan, who was giving him a cold stare.

"i see, making you a demon king was a great choice by him"

Him?!.

"Him? Who is he? What are you saying, say it clearly?"

"it seems I have spoiled too much, I will leave these things be here"

Khan was now furious at Yu Jun who was not taking anything serious, he yelled at him with a louder and angry voice.

"Stop messing around!! I'm getting tired now, just say what you want to say or let me leave!!"

Yu Jun's expression changed suddenly, the atmosphere was now different, it felt cold.

Yu Jun had an expressionless face. He moved his eyes away from staring at khan to seeing the paused people.

He spoke in a chill voice. "It seems like being polite with you is not something you can understand with"

Khan wasn't afraid but he was feeling the tense atmosphere.

Sigh…

Yu Jun's expression changed back to smiling suddenly, it was as if he was just testing khan. Whether he will fear him or not.

"Let me get to the point," said Yu Jun as he gave a bright smile.

Why is he so weird? Did a weirdo have this power?

The way Yu Jun was doing felt a bit weird for khan, who didn't like playing around and just wanted to know the reason.

For the storyteller to visit him.

"Since I had to interfere in this world, I didn't come here without reason. My reason is something I can't tell you but there's something important I do like to share with you"

Curiously, khan asked Yu Jun.

"And what's that"

Yu Jun lifted his finger up at khan, "well let's first start with your questions"

"Since it would be waste if I didn't answer your questions"

"But I can answer only two questions, so ask me now"

"Sure, let me think for a bit"

Khan felt silent, he was now thinking of what to ask. Many things were on his mind but what to ask since he could only ask two questions.

Breaking the silence, Khan questioned Yu Jun who had moved his hand back and waited for his questions.

"My first question will be, why choose me out of all?"

Yu Jun smiled as if he had expected such a question. He replied to Khan's question with an answer already prepared.

"Everybody says, why? If you suffer you say why, getting chances why, why is like a curiosity than needs to be answer"

"You're like the main character of this story. Everybody wants to be the main character, but they forget they are the main character, it's just a different story for them."

"so the answer to your question is that, it's your destination you were already chosen to have this path, some may want to have same path as you, wanting to be a hero and wanting to be a main character"

He looked at Khan, his eyes filled with brightness. Khan kept silent and listened carefully to every word of Yu Jun.

"your not the only one who's given an opportunity here, as the world will go on you will understand that it was not only you who was chosen but many"

"I hope you understood my answer correctly"

It was not the answer khan was expecting, what he was expecting was a normal answer related to him and that's all.

I get it now. It doesn't solve everything but it solves more than enough.

He understood what the answer meant but he spoke Further.

"My second question, if the demon king is somewhat S plus rank than what the other rank meant."

Yu Jun looked at khan with a little unexpected look.

"This was unexpecting, I thought you do be asking me about the creator of the system"

Khan in his mind said.

Unexpecting? Is this guy serious? He already knew what I was gonna ask next. This question might be unexpected but right now there's something I need to know.

"I do understand you want to know the threats of the world that you might encounter, so let me tell you in simple"

"Let's just say S plus rank is demon king rank"

"To this world, demon king is the strongest title of hell. Whoever is the demon king is called the strongest creation of hell"

"but to be honest with you, demon king is the lowest title in the hell, which really has no value to the real title"

Khan was stunned, what did the story teller mean by the lowest title? That was what he was thinking.

"So you're saying that the demon king is just a minor title of hell? But I have been to hell and I ruled I have never heard about anything above demon king"

"You, khan the demon king was just ruling a small piece of hell, it's just a like small particle of dust which you ruled"

Now, things were above khan's mind, what could he answer? What could he say? He wasn't even understanding things.

People who fought for such a title and people who fought against such a title were nothing compared to the real ruler of hell.

"I can't answer you in detail and now I shall take my leave"

Yu Jun stood from the bench as he walked away from khan.

Khan looked at the storyteller, he spoke again asking something.

"What was that important thing that you wanted to tell"

Yu Jun looked back at khan. "About that, it's related to your master"

Khan spoke quickly, after hearing that it was something about his master. "Speak what it is"

"The boy, Alex who you saved before… is the reincarnation of your master, since his soul is the same except for his body and his powers are gone with his memory sealed away"

"It's a saying of mine, always have a reason to live for, since desire is something once completed you will remain with emptiness"

Saying this the storyteller Yu Jun left and vanished without saying anything further.

After he left, everything resumed back to normal.

Khan was only looking straight, his mind was numb.

[This man is dangerous, be careful]

[...]

[What happened?]

[Where did the man that appeared go?]

[...]

Khan didn't reply as he stared without saying anything; he was spaced out.

Ah!!!

Coming back to his senses, he saw the system screen in front of him.

He, without replying to the question, stood and began to walk, then he spoke.

"Let's get going, we have things to do"

[Okay?!...]
