Chapter 174: Rupture (9)

...

7th site of Depth, Eepoche.

Yoo Surha, who was leaning on the terrace of the Central Palace – <Edmunt> looked down onto the site’s landscape and remembered a paragraph from the book she read.

-This place’s time has been stopped. Gods, spirits, and everything else. Just like the name, beings who gave up on thinking have gathered here….

It was a paragraph from the book written by the God of Mischief, Pierre: [Assuring Despair].

God of Mischief Pierre. He was a weird God who spent his entire life helping the low-ranking

Gods of <Depth>.

Yoo Surha knew Pierre. Almost all gods who had lived long enough within <Depth> knew him. He had written many books that helped many new Gods.

The book, [Assuring Despair], was the last book Pierre wrote, and it was about the 7th site, Eepoche.

As the rumors said, Pierre found the 7th site and wrote his last book here before facing his last moment. The last paragraph in the book said this:

-Where the hope of <Depth> falls.

Yoo Surha thought about what the meant as she watched. People talking to themselves amongst the quiet scenery came to her ears. Two men were talking to each other.

“Hey, you know it too right? <Depth> is crazy right now.”

“It is, it is crazy.”

“I wonder where the world is heading.”

“It’s over.”

“The world will end.”

“Yes, it will.”

“Then, goodbye.”

“And to you too.”

The two men parted ways, and after five minutes, they returned to where they met again and started over.

“Hey, you know it too right? <Depth> is crazy right now.”

“It is, it is crazy.”

“I wonder where the world is heading.”

“It’s over.”

“The world will end.”

“Yes, it will.”

“Then, goodbye.”

“And to you too.”

They spoke the same way and parted ways, only to return after 5 minutes again. It was a never-ending discussion.

Yoo Surha felt sadness as she heard the words. There was a certain emotion that was long lost from these men, a despair that was very old, or a shadow of something that was once called despair.

The 7th site. Eepoche.

Every being that lived within this place was like those two men. The discussion that Surha witnessed now was happening in all places within the 7th region. These beings repeated the same thing at the same time every day as if they were mentally ill.

And, they actually were patients.

Eepoche — the name came from the disease that these spirits and Gods were suffering from.

Eepoche was a disease that made one stop thinking and refuse the future.

Gods and spirits who had gotten the disease, Eepoche, notwithstanding the thousands of years of their lives, wandered around for a long time until they gathered in one place. Hence, the name came afterward.
