BXBX NOVEL Chapter 74 - I have nightmare everyday
Chapter 74 – I have nightmare everyday.
[Using Emergency Escape Protocol].
As soon as Dharma tried to knock down my neck with his weapon, the world changed.
I could feel a throbbing sensation in my body.
“Ugh!”
The recoil from crossing dimensions without even 10 seconds of preparation was quite large, I could feel a throbbing sensation in my head…
[Emergency Escape Protocol was used]
[30 days of lifeforce will be consumed.]
[Moved to a dimension with more than 5 times time difference.]
[10 days of lifeforce will be consumed in exchange for adding these conditions.]
[You have moved to a dimension without a protagonist or has a 90% chance of successful hunting.]
[30 days of life will be consumed in exchange for adding these conditions.]
In total, 70 days of my lifeforce was consumed.
That’s because they risked ‘conditions’ for emergency escape.
But what could I do? It would be better to move to a dimension level with a 90% success rate or a dimension without a protagonist so that I could come back quickly.
‘Nevertheless, in exchange for my life force, I’ve found out Dharma’s last weakness in his life.’
I would get 70 days worth of life force easily if I successfully hunted Dharma.
And if I could escape the danger of dying with just two months worth of life force, what a good bargain.
“I wish I could use an emergency escape anytime.”
<Unfortunately, that’s impossible.>
<It can only be used when a ‘main character’ is at the risk of dying after absorbing a large amount of probability beyond the SSS rank.>
<Also, it is not possible to use it for at least one year.>
“Why?”
<The protocol not only consumed your life force, it also consumed my energy.>
‘To sum it up, you can’t use it because you’re tired.’
<That’s right…..>
At first, the system appeared to be a divine being. No, in fact it was indeed a divine being. However, it was silent for a while when he was given the right to freely choose skills after hunting Lee Yeon-jun, or shortly after hunting Arash. If the system were a human being, it would have been asleep.
This meant that the system also needed to recover for a while once it used excessive force.
The more he saw it, the more he wondered about his system, but he didn’t ask anything.
“By the way, where are we?”
As I looked around, I realized that I was within a structure that was painted in all white. As usual, there was no explanation saying, ‘At what level are you?’ so I don’t know where I am or what I’m doing. The system had also disappeared, saying that it needed time to figure out where the dimension was.
‘But there won’t be any main characters, will there?’
As far as I know, there was no dimension with a hunting success rate of more than 90%. If there were any, wouldn’t you have chosen that kind of place in the first place? No matter how high it is, the success rate was only about 50%. In other words, there was a high probability that the main character did not exist in this dimension.
Two days. In two days, I have to go back to Earth, or to be specific to Himalaya.
There was no problem heading to the Himalaya. Another effect of the emergency escape sequence was that I could choose my return location by paying with lifeforce according to distance when returning to Earth. I was going to pay extra lifeforce and move straight to the Himalaya.
However, getting out of here was the problem.
When hunting a protagonist, one can use all the probabilities that have been absorbed by the protagonist to make a dimension shift without any problems. However, it was impossible to absorb the probability without the main characters. Also, it was impossible to bring probability from somewhere else because I am not the ‘main character,’.
‘First of all, we need to find out about this place.’
It was my first time doing this without the help of the system. The tension I felt within my body was the same as when I fell into the tournament and had to hunt the protagonist for the first time.
‘Is this an art museum?’
As I glanced around while clutching the handle of the ether blade, I saw many kinds of frames hanging on the wall. Inside the frame, the canvases were all white without any pictures or photos, and when I put my palm on it, a warning message suddenly came up.
[Skill ‘Library of the white witch(E)’ will be activated.]
[You do not have access to the picture, you cannot verify it.]
“……What!?”
What is this?
So, this frame was also a magical thing? I remembered the word ‘access’ only appeared when I approached a higher rank library. But what is this now?
Then, the system message of the protagonist hunter appeared.
[Checking out the Protagonist Yekaterina’s ‘Nightmare Art Museum(URS)’ skill.]
“Crazy!! URS Rank? Is this rank that common?”
Even the skill to turn back time like an infinite loop was a URS rank. I thought that URS rank skill would have an effect similar to creating a world, but why did this museum rank so high?
[Skill ‘Library of the white witch(E)’ has been activated.]
[It has been confirmed that this place is an imaginary world related to the Witch’s Prophecy.]
“What? Prophecy?”
I’m getting more and more worked up.
I can’t believe the place of URS Rank’s skill is related to prophecy.
“But you can’t see anything, can you?”
[You do not have access]
I touched the frame while looking at the emerging message, and I felt a sense of incompatibility.
“Hold on….. Did you just say Protagonist?”
The dimension where I landed with an emergency escape was a world where I could hunt the protagonist with more than 90% chance. In my memory, there was no such world, so I would have moved to a world without a protagonist. However, if a protagonist exists…..
Dung dung!!
Dung dung dung!! Dung Dung!!
Then, there was a sound of something bouncing on the floor from the far side of the hall. I quickly turned alert and looked towards the sound.
There,
A bizarre-looking ‘woman’ with a huge face and one leg with burnt skin all over her body was approaching me quickly.
And the hashtag that was on her head was…

[Protagonist Yekaterina]
[Lv. 519]
I tilted my head and turned it toward the creature.
The creature made an eye contact with me.
“519!?!?”
I tilted my head and turned it toward the creature.
The creature made an eye contact with me.
“519!?!?”
The moment I blinked at the thought of seeing something wrong.
Dung Dung Dung!!!
Dung Dung!!
It began to run towards me at a speed faster than the speed of sound!
“Didn’t you say the success rate was 90%?”
I didn’t have to look back.
This was a fight that could never be won.
Fortunately, there was a white door right in front of him, and when he jumped there and closed the door with a board and locked the door, the protagonist no longer followed him.
“OH MY GOD, I’m so surprised! What in the world is that?”
You said you were the main character.
Hasn’t the protagonist always been blessed with all probability? Whatever you do, you’ll succeed, you’ll achieve victory. He’s the kind of person who eats cliche.
<The protagonist is not a probability-absorbing person.>
<She’s a protagonist that didn’t need to be hunted.>
<So, she was excluded from the list of requests.>
‘Oh, is that so?’
Indeed, there are many ‘genres’ in the world, and I thought it might be possible to have a protagonist from a horror movie.
“Yoo Seodam?”
“Huh?”
Swiish!
When I heard a woman’s voice from behind my back, I quickly turned and pointed the Ether Blade towards her direction. There, a small woman wearing thin white clothes was sitting down.
She had white hair, and transparent eyes that seemed to have no vision. I was surprised by her mysterious beauty for a moment.
Kugugugung!!
But then, the creature stormed the door and when that crazy prick popped in, I hurriedly put her on my side and flew forward.
“Crazy! Hey, pot! Do something!”
-I’m just a snail~~
“You worthless spirit! Get to work!”
I took out all the grenades I had inside my inventory and threw it to the floor. With her magic, the pot rearranged the grenades all over the place. The first few explosives directly hit the creature, but soon the flowerpot changed the target of the bomb and exploded the floor or wall of the art museum.
The decision was made to disturb the creature’s way. It was a very wise decision, but the moment I thought I couldn’t do damage properly.
Kiehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Suddenly, the monster screamed and stopped chasing.
“Oh, oh, oh?”
But there seemed to be no damage at all?
So, I quickly scanned the monster, but no matter where I looked, I couldn’t find any wounds.
“This, really?”
Just in case, when I rolled all the bombs into one place, the grenades exploded and made a crater in the floor. Soon after, the monster began to roar as if it were more painful than earlier damage.
“If the museum is damaged, the monster will also be damaged?”
A ray of light passing through my head!
After taking all the bombs out of the inventory and throwing them everywhere, I went rampage with a mega shooter.
“Hahaha! You ugly monster! Go to hell!”
Perhaps because of the concentration of saturation on the floor, the monster crashed into the hollow floor, and I reached out to the inventory to throw some bombs at it again.
But at that moment.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It hurts! Stop it!”
The woman who was hanging on my side screamed as if she was going to be torn. When I looked at her hurriedly, I saw a lot of tears around her eyes.
“No, why are you, uh?”
Then, a hashtag floating on her head comes into my view.

[Protagonist Yekaterina]
[Lv. 6]
The same tag I saw on that monster existed on the woman in front of me.
“What is this all about? There are two protagonists?”
But as far as I knew, when there were more than one protagonist in the same world, the world entered the epilogue phase.
<There is only one main character in this world.>
<However, one person became two due to the time warp.>
‘What?’
I checked the name and level again.
Even though they both had the same name, the level of the woman before me was strangely low. She was so weak, she wasn’t even at the level of an average person.
No. There was one more question other than that.
“You, how do you know my name?”
She’s only level Six, but I could never let my guard down. Because I had also hunted many high-level characters with low-level bodies. She grabbed her throbbing head and wept, then slowly came down to the floor.
The lower floor was a very wide space, the screams of the monster couldn’t be heard anymore. The woman named Yekaterina slowly took a deep breath and looked up at me.
“I have no choice but to know. I’ve seen you.”
“What? It’s your first time seeing me.”
“No, it’s your first time seeing me.”
“What are you talking about?”
She staggered up from her seat and slowly reached out to me. I tried to point at Ether Blade because I was wondering if he was trying to attack, but Yekaterina stumbled and reached out in a strangely defenseless manner, but my mind was confused because she seemed to be asking for help.
“Yoo seodam, Hunter Yoo seodam, I’ve really wanted to meet you.”
“Who the hell are you?”
“I am the only prophet on earth, Yekaterina.”
“What?”
Only then did I remember the name Yekaterina. Wasn’t this the kind of name that was commonly used in Russia? It was so pretty and cute that it was a popular name. Yekaterina.
“Are you, uh, an earthling?”
“That’s right. You speak like you’re not.”
“I am also an earthling, but… No way, so this is Earth?”
Before I knew it, Yekaterina reached out her hand and stroked my cheek. It was a careful touch, as if she wanted to check if I was real or not.
“No, this place is inside my dream… so I want to ask. How did you get here?”
“Uh… So, I was just passing by.”
“Passing by? So, do you know how to get in and out of here?”
“I know, why?”
“Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!”
When my words fell, Yekaterina held my hand in her white skinny arms and shouted desperately.
“Well, then get me out of here! Please, please! I don’t want to stay here anymore! That monster is trying to kill me!”
However, her words sounded very strange to me.
“If you’re talking about the monster just now, that’s you in the future, isn’t it?”
Why did her future self try to hurt her past self?
