The Only Ending for the Evil Count Pig Is Destruction

chapter 9



9 – Scene 009# Ordeal(1)

*

Among the game elements of Another World Online, personality determines the personality and abilities of NPCs, or characters.

It’s kind of like a basic ability.

However, personality is an element given only to characters that appeared in the original work.

Of course, the more characters with good personalities, the closer they are to the main character.

In particular, humility, charity, kindness, patience, chastity, temperance, and diligence, which belong to the Seven Contrary Virtues, are special personalities that only the chosen ones can have.

Bella Isaachell and other good named characters fall into this category.

In that respect, Tristan was clearly an abandoned character.

character profile.

Name: Tristan Ruelberta.

Age: 20.

Occupation: Count Ruelberta.

Personality: Chaebol, calculation, arrogance, greed, jealousy, anger.

+

Pride, greed, envy, and anger of the seven deadly sins, the opposite of the seven main lines.

Because he was a rare villain who had as many as four of them.

‘This is not a problem for me to do anything about.’

Personality affects not only oneself but also those around us.

There are plenty of positive things around characters with good personalities.

Receiving good luck and blessings, those with excellent skills gather around them.

On the other hand, characters with bad personalities have a rough future.

Wicked people gather around them for their own benefit.

They do not trust each other and frame and criticize each other.

That’s how everyone becomes a villain and is thoroughly punished.

For the world to condemn a person as a villain.

That is the fate of evil.

Tristan was not given 526 miserable endings for nothing.

Since he has many evil personalities, his destruction is also ordained.

‘No matter how hard I try, Tristan will face the fate of destruction, sooner or later.’

So I chose the ordeal.

According to the setting, trials are God’s task and test.

Trials make people stronger.

A severe ordeal that can even change a person’s personality.

That was exactly what I was aiming for.

A voice was heard along with the dazzling light.

[You have entered the space of trials!]

I was standing in a pure white space.

It’s probably like a waiting area.

I haven’t heard anything about the ordeal in detail.

However, trials were usually given only to heroes.

If I passed the ordeal, I might even be able to match the hero.

No, even if it wasn’t that far, I wanted it to be at least a little more normal.

[Embodies the trials in the life of Tristan Ruelberta.]

[The Forgotten Story is now open.]

Aha, I can understand roughly after listening to the explanation.

It’s a so-called character hidden story.

As an avid reader, it must be very exciting to know the hidden story of a character.

But the target is Tristan.

1 is not expected.

Rather, I had a hunch that this ordeal would be an unpleasant experience for me.

“Eh… . can you star… .”

I made up my mind and closed my eyes.

Then a message was heard.

[The trial begins!]

[Trial Difficulty: Grade A or higher]

“Class A… .”

“That is correct.”

“… ?”

The answer opened my eyes.

Everything around me had changed.

The pure white space was filled with antique furniture.

I was sitting at the table.

“To know the grade without eating meat, that’s great.”

What is placed in front of you is a deliciously grilled steak.

“Then do you also know the value of it?”

I looked at the appraisal results that ran short on stakes.

It was the ability of personality ‘chaebol’ and ‘calculation’.

Name: Premium Tenderloin Steak

Description: A steak made from A-rank cows raised in southern Meikahel.

Appraised value: around 170,000 kaels.

“About 170,000 Kael… .”

“That is correct.”

I looked straight ahead.

Opposite the table where I was sitting.

Sitting there was a long-haired young man with his hair tied back.

“Tristan.”

“Yes.”

I responded reflexively.

Because I knew I couldn’t go against that man.

“Put a value on everything.”

I was terrified of that man.

This is what Tristan felt.

As if being pulled by that irresistible feeling, I answered.

“Yes. father.”

Earl of Milium Ruelberta.

Tristan’s father said with satisfaction.

“Don’t eat.”

Deeng.

The grandfather clock rang.

It was exactly 6 o’clock.

At the same time, an ominous message reached my ears.

[Encroachment by personality begins.]

[Your erosion rate is currently 5%.]

*

Because of Michaela’s ordeal, I was experiencing Tristan’s past.

And it was a series of shocking things for me.

“Huh… .”

The one reflected in the mirror must have been about 10 years old.

Pale white skin and obsidian black hair descended to her shoulders.

There was a pretty boy in the mirror who could be considered a girl because of his long hair.

“I guess you also had Leeds days… .”

If it weren’t for that characteristic sullen look, I would never have recognized him.

I never imagined that the childhood Tristan would be a transcendent handsome boy.

‘If I lose weight and take care of this, it will be fine… ?’

The original version is good, so it’s worth trying.

Later, when I finish this ordeal and go out, I will have to start with a diet.

Depending on how you nurture a trash character, you can become a new character.

“Now, the problem is… .”

I went back to Tristan’s childhood.

Here, I have to find the conditions to clear the ordeal.

Until the time limit is presumably encroached on by individuality.

It would be game over if I was completely encroached on by my personality.

“… All or nothing.”

But I didn’t know much about Tristan’s childhood.

Because it was a behind-the-scenes story that did not appear in the original story.

I had no choice but to bump into it.

I don’t want to know about the childhood of the villain Count Pig, but I can’t help it.

smart.

“young master. It’s time to leave soon. Can I help you?”

I see you have a schedule.

I hurriedly got dressed.

“Okay. Let me leave right away.”

When the door opened, the attendant looked surprised.

“young master?”

“Why?”

“Oh, no. It looks like it should go right down. The Count is waiting below.”

The attendant took the lead with quick steps.

Something seems urgent.

When I left the porch, Milliam was waiting in front of the carriage.

In his hand was a silver watch.

“You’re 24 seconds late.”

“Sorry, sorry… .”

The servant deeply bowed his head.

Milliam ignored her as if it was a waste of time to get angry and got into the carriage.

“Ride. That is the margin of error.”

I followed Milliam and got into the carriage.

Luxurious and spacious, befitting the carriage of the wealthy Ruelberta family.

Also, the ride is good.

As expected, it is a luxurious carriage made by the artisans of the empire.

As I was thinking about that, I felt something strange.

For some reason, the attendant next to me had been fidgeting and glancing at me from earlier.

Is it because you were late?

In the suspicious silence, it was Milliam who spoke first.

“… Tristan.”

“Yes.”

“Why is your hair like that?”

ah… .

It was my first time styling long hair, so I guess I couldn’t tie it properly.

Her hair, clumsily tied in a ponytail, was reflected through the carriage window.

Was this why the attendant kept trying to say something?

Embarrassed.

I answered moderately, thinking that I shouldn’t answer Milliam incorrectly.

“It’s more convenient and saves time.”

“… … .”

A wrinkle formed between Milliam’s forehead.

Is this a bit Eva… .

I feel cold sweat running down my back.

I couldn’t help but be nervous because I didn’t know what Milliam was thinking.

So, his answer was also unexpected.

“Surely so.”

Milliam nodded as if he understood.

He said while stroking his long hair.

“butler. Starting tomorrow, I will tie my hair like that.”

“Yes? But… .”

“That is more efficient.”

“Ah, I see… .”

Milliam took out a small watch from his bosom and checked it.

Even in such a trivial appearance, there is no distraction.

No, I would say that there is no clutter.

He is definitely a unique man.

A decadent handsome man with a strangely tired look.

Tristan’s father and the previous head of the family, Earl of Milium Ruelberta.

All I know is that Count Milliam died early.

In fact, not only Milliam, but all the heads of Ruelberta died young and took over at an early age.

Tristan also becomes head of Ruelberta at a young age.

‘But I can’t believe it… .’

The cause of Milliam’s early death was known to be suicide.

However, no matter how I looked at it, the man in front of me did not look like someone who would commit suicide.

‘What happened?’

The past of the Ruelberta family hidden in history.

If you know that, wouldn’t it be a clue to get through this ordeal?

I asked cautiously.

“By the way… . Where are you going today?”

At those words, Milliam tilted his head.

“You also sound very strange. Didn’t you say you were going to the Duke of Isaac Hell?”

he added.

“They say today is the birthday of the duke’s daughter. Didn’t you prepare a present?”

…Me?
