| Speak to Nekros

Smile at Nekros
|
Hug Nekros
|
|
Ah yes...
I've been waiting for you.
|
|
|
Heh, hahaha...!
How passionate.
|
|
The way you look to me for such things,
is a pleasure like no other.
|
|
You give me such desirable joy
and blessed exaltation...
|
|
|
Your voice and face continue to charm my heart.
|
|
You make me feel a different kind of joy than the ones in my memory.
|
|
Now then...let us go to the main subject, O Second Hero.
...well no, you are no longer the hero now are you?
|
|
Now that you have lost the Role of the Hero
you cannot stay in this world.
|
|
Due to that, you are leaving this world...
|
|
But before that, you have
questions you wish to ask me, do you not?
|
| 2 options (Same Response)
|
| I want you to tell me what you know.
|
Tell me about everything.
|
|
...heh, hehahahah! Such direct questioning.
|
|
Now, if you seek something from the overlord,
you must prepare a sufficient offering.
|
|
Hmm, but...I am no longer the overlord in this world, no?
|
|
...my wisdom only knows the ways of this world,
and it does not know everything beyond that scope.
|
|
If that is acceptable...yes, ask me whatever you wish.
|
|
Now then...where shall I begin with explaining this event?
|
|
...yes, I should start with myself...
I shall start by telling you about this Nekros.
|
|
Once before, this Nekros was born to control
the memories and corpse known as Bacchus.
|
|
In the eternally repeating battle between hero and overlord,(Same Response)
I was to fulfill that central Role.
|
|
I was to be a personality that can bear with
processing and gathering all the information and faith of the world.
|
|
Due to that, the Nekros before you is
always holding the memories of the First and the Second...

|
| ...!
|
...
|
Nekros then closed his mouth and
gave the one in front of him time to process and choose his next words.
| 3 options (Same Response)
|
| You were born for an eternally repeating battle
|
Are you talking about the adventure loop that happened?
|
Is that why you remember?
|
|
No...that's not right.
The result is the same, but the "cause is different."
|
|
In this world the "an overlord who controls death" and
"a new hero and friends" are to gather faith and fight.
|
|
This is not a "redo of time."
It is accumulated history.
|
|
Indeed, this world originally did not have
a System that loops the same time around.
|
|
...or at least, that is how it was as far as I've seen since my birth.
|
|
In which case, the loop that happened this time
is caused by a System from outside this world.
|
|
However, my personality was created to withstand eternity.
Due to that I was able to withstand the loop that happened here.
|
|
I said "the result is the same but the cause is different."
Yes, if I were to sum it up in a word...it is a coincidence.
|
| 2 options
|
| ...what does that mean?
|
Smile at Bacchus
|
I see! Then that means...!
|
|
Your face is asking what this subject
has to do with you. Heh, hahahah.
|
|
|
...how insightful.
Yes, it is good work done by "that."
|
|
|
In other words this subject is the answer to
"why you as the second hero brought another person."
|
|
Allow me to repeat my conclusion. O "Second Hero",
you...have saved the "First Hero."
|
| 2 options (Same Response)
|
| ...!?
|
...
|
|
The humans of this age are beings that live
at most for a hundred years just once in this flow of time.
|
|
Indeed, you "both" cannot bear with an eternity
that is like a looping set of time.
|
|
That does not even begin to cover gathering
all the faith in the world focused upon you and fighting endlessly.
|
|
For an ordinary "human vessel" that would be surpassing your limits.
|
|
You are not a personality purposed with withstanding endless repeats.
|
| 2 options (Same Response)
|
| ...what if I did do that?
|
What happened to the First?
|
|
He may have gone mad. He lost what made him human.
|
|
He became a monster of rationality
that exists only to fulfill his given goal before he lost everything.
|
|
He took in the will of the world,
become a System that only produces results...
|
|
No matter how strong his will, that is what happens.
The "First Hero" is no exception to that.
|
|
I knew someone in the past who went mad like so.
I knew someone who "became something not human."
|
|
They have forgotten "why have they wished for that"
and are only left with fulfilling "their original desire."
|
|
Their memories as a human have been left behind somewhere...
|
|
Their thoughts of adventure and not of results
have been abandoned somewhere not here.
|
| 2 options (Same Response)
|
| Left behind memories?
|
Thoughts of adventure...
|
|
...the hero needs someone else to go after.
Someone in this world who wishes to adventure in this world.
|
|
And...in order for that wish to be granted,
this adventuring tale must be in a form that ends.
|
|
Is the final battle between hero and overlord not the best fantasy?
|
| 2 options (Same Response)
|
| ...is that why you became the overlord?
|
Back then, the reason you left the party was...
|
|
...And then, the adventure ended.
|
|
I've said all I needed to say.
So from now on, I will be speaking about "what comes after that."
|
|
You have saved the world, not as a hero, but as someone else.
|
|
You have also saved that one who could not save the "First Hero."
You have even helped with the crisis of the "First Hero."
|
|
Heh, hahahah...how surprising of me to be so interested in talking so much...
|
|
Why don't we go outside and
cool some of this passion, [playerNickname]...?
|
|
Ah yes, I believe that there is a spring
where fairies and spirits bathe themselves outside town.
|
Outside
Nekros spoke with the dignity of the overlord
while bathing in the spring water that flowed in from far away.
|
...uncourageous one.
You have had a splendid adventuring tale despite that.
|
|
No one in this world has blessed your ending of this adventure.
|
|
I am no longer the overlord,
but I shall bless this ending.
|
|
What? The end of the adventuring tale
should have a reward, should it not?
|
| 2 options
|
| Reward...?
|
Eh, you're gonna give me something?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, that is correct. Now then, what is it you desire...?
|
|
Upon my pride as the one who once ruled over a fragment
of this world's light and darkness and born as the overlord, I shall grant it.
|
Silence passed between you two for a moment,
And [playerNickname] said this.
| 3 options (Same Response)
|
| ...I don't need a reward.
|
I won't say what wish I want you to grant.
|
But I have something I want to say.
|
|
...oh? You desire neither reward nor a wish,
and instead you wish to say something to me?
|
|
Yeah...Nekros. Maybe in the beginning
the reason that you were interested in me...
|
|
And the reason you appeared in front of me
was because you saw someone else in me.
|
|
Maybe it's because you saw the First in me.
|
|
Or maybe it's because...you saw
traces of someone I don't know in me. But still!
|
| 3 options (Same Response)
|
| I'm going to travel with you.
|
I'm gonna make you face my way.
|
I'm gonna make you fall in love with me!
|
|
...heh. Hahahahah! Ahh, is that the path you choose?
|
|
You are saying "you want me to choose that path,"
but rather "I will show you the path I chose?"
|
|
I see, that is your......heh, hahahahahahaha!!
|
Nekros thinks about
the meaning of his life.
But that meaning has come to nothing,
leaving him a nobody of a person now.
The Nekros here right now knows
that underneath this sky there are endless possibilities.
There are endless others who resemble himself
but they each go down their own individual paths.
As someone who was born as the overlord
he is no exception.
Now, his "Second Self" has reached
a different ending from the "First Overlord."
In which case, he should put his own self on the line
and walk down that path.
Nekros has memories of the time
he spent with the "First Hero."
He also has irreplaceable memories
of his time spent with the "Second Hero" before him.
As he holds these memories within him,
Nekros wears the smile of a former overlord and speaks.
|
...very well. Your determination has reached me.
|
|
But be warned, the old hero and overlord
you intend to challenge here on are powerful. Hahaha!
|
Nekros said that he would be choosing.
It was done because of his pride as one born as the overlord.
|
I shall ruin you. I shall show you...what you've chosen.
|
|
Indeed we shall begin anew a new battle between me and you...!
|
| 3 options
|
| Smile fearlessly at Nekros
|
Stare at Nekros
|
Hug Nekros
|
|
Ahh...you make that expression too.
That is a different face you are smiling with.
|
As Nekros says that, he looks at the one in front of him.
An expression he's never shown anyone else appears on his face.
|
|
Now, child born as an ordinary man.
Allow me to show you the joys of indulging in decadence.
|
Nekros gently traced his fingers on
[playerNickname]'s cheeks as he approached him.
|
I shall show you even more maddening joy
than the praise the world would give its hero.
|
|
Choke, rage, sob.
I shall carve the pleasure you've chosen into your soul.
|
|
I shall make you scream
that you love me many times over...!
|
|
Nekros gazed out to the endless sky from the window
and narrowed his eyes as if looking at something in the far off distance.
Two shooting stars fly past
in the sky of the world he'll be leaving soon...
