The Male Lead Is Obsessed With My Health – Chapter 361

Author: Asternkm

“I came here all tensed up, and there’s nothing at all.”
The world of nothingness left me feeling empty.

But at the same time, a sense of warning rose up.

‘Doesn’t this scenery feel… familiar somehow?’

And there was no way this place truly had nothing. I had felt my dad being trapped here—that was why I came in.

‘A similar scene…’

When I searched my memories, only one place came to mind.

‘The Gairen Ruins.’

This place felt similar to the scene I had seen deep inside the ruins.
In other words, that white space that had given me divinity.

‘Except this place is pitch-black.’

“Even if I’ve figured that out, it’s still a problem. Knowing doesn’t mean I can actually do anything.”

In this black world of nothingness, where mana, divinity, and even my very existence felt like they were being erased, the only thing I could do was think.

It felt as if the space itself was trying to swallow me and erase who I was…

‘As always, thank you, [Mental Barrier (S)].’

In a place where a normal person would have already gone insane and lost themselves, I was calmly racking my brain, looking for a way out.

Then, for the first time in a long while, the status window appeared.

Ding!

[Do you wish to activate the inherited trait, “Blessing of the Last God (?)”?]

“Uh… what?”

****

I doubted my eyes at the contents of the status window that appeared at such a random moment.

Out of everything it could have shown, it was a notice about that vague trait—
[Blessing of the Last God (?)]—which made it even more confusing.

[Blessing of the Last God (?)]
– A blessing passed down to you after being altered from the protection granted by the last god to someone else. Proof that you are loved.

From the start, this trait had only ever come with a vague explanation like this.

‘Well… I think I know who that “someone” the last god protected was now.’

Thinking of someone I looked almost exactly like, I felt a bit bitter.

But only for a moment. I looked at the status window while recalling the mass-produced holy relics I had used so effectively in the Gairen Ruins.
They were mass-produced, but ridiculously useful.

‘So there is a connection after all?’

Of all times, for the status window to show this now… it felt like it was mocking me for deciding to go to Lemuren and never even making it close.

Anyway.

‘Even if it’s poison, I’ll drink it.’

[Inherited trait “Blessing of the Last God (?)” has been activated!]

The message appeared—then vanished almost immediately.

…Did anything change?

Nothing felt different at all—

Just as I thought that, the status window flashed red, as if scolding me for jumping to conclusions.

[※Warning! Unauthorized access detected!]
[※Warning! Unauthorized access detected!]

Did I just press some kind of “fall straight into the abyss” button?

With a sudden feeling that I’d pushed something that sent me even deeper into trouble, I hurriedly summoned the status window.

“Cancel! Cancel! Cancel it!”

No matter how desperately I shouted, the status window didn’t respond.

And then—

Shuuuuung.

I keenly felt something massive approaching me.

I’m done for.

I squeezed my eyes shut.

【Ah… can you hear my voice?】

The voice was gentler than I had braced myself for. I slowly opened my eyes and saw a large mass of light floating in front of me.

【At last, I meet you.】

The brilliantly multicolored sphere of light greeted me in a voice that sounded genuinely delighted.

****

It felt like I had just woken up from a very long dream.

As soon as I opened my eyes, a new scene greeted me—but my mind was still stuck in the “room of mind and time” (the world of nothingness), focused on the conversation I’d had with the “Last God.”

Once I left that place, the time I spent there blurred, as if it had been a time that never truly existed.

Still, since I could handle divinity, fragments of that conversation remained in my memory.

‘They really liked me… a lot.’

I couldn’t forget that shy voice, saying they had waited just for this moment—like a fan meeting their favorite celebrity.

Anyway, the two most important things from my talk with the Last God were these:

The prophecy that the Holy Kingdom of Lemuren had announced while I was busy trying to save my dad.

And the advice I needed right now to save him.

【Soon, you will arrive in Valer’s mental world】

So this was my dad’s mental world.

Before long, I couldn’t help but let out a groan at the scenery around me.

I couldn’t blame myself.

Everywhere was a battlefield. People killing and being killed filled my vision…

“…What is this supposed to be?”

And every single one of them—

was my dad.

I was left speechless at the sight of countless Valers killing each other.

【Find the “real one” among them】

Wait.
God.

Here?

****

Valer felt as if he heard someone calling him and lifted his head.

‘It was a familiar voice… one that made me feel nostalgic and wistful.’

But whenever he tried to remember whose voice it was, his mind grew foggy, and his head began to ache.

As he held his head—

“Valer, does your head hurt?”

A soft, gentle voice.

It was a face he saw every day, yet for some reason, hearing his sister’s voice made him incredibly happy. Shione was smiling mischievously at him.

“You laze around like a bum every day. Of course your head hurts.”

At her teasing tone, Valer laughed without realizing it.

“This was my dream life, you know. Doing nothing and living off you. Do you know how easy my life became after you inherited the Halbern Grand Duchy?”

“Of course. I even know Mehen complains about you.”

“Poor Mehen. Getting caught by you of all people.”

“I can’t just let go of talent like that.”

Watching Shione smile brightly, Valer once again thought how lucky he was.

Because Morden had died early, Shione became the Grand Duchess of Halbern, and thanks to that, Valer was freed from being a successor and could live like a carefree slacker.

Sometimes, he felt an empty sense like he’d forgotten something important—but even so, he liked this peaceful life.

“Sis, are you not going to get married or anything?”

“Valer, you’re not getting married either. Why are you pressuring your sister?”

“How is a jobless guy like me the same as you, who leads the House of Halbern?”

Shione quietly smiled at him. Looking at her, Valer felt his chest swell with emotion—and yet, strangely, it also felt unfamiliar.

It was odd.
This was his sister, whom he saw every day.

So why did everything feel so new?

“Valer, haven’t you forgotten something?”

Suddenly, Shione said that with a strange smile.

“Forgotten… something?”

As Valer struggled to grasp it, Shione whispered,

“Something very precious. Something you must never forget. Are you sure you haven’t forgotten anything?”

For a moment, she felt like a being from another world—but when he closed his eyes and opened them again, his sister looked the same as always.

As if entranced, Valer thought seriously.

“The most precious thing to me is you, Sis. And you’re right here. No matter how I think about it, there’s nothing.”

“…Is that so?”

A distant wind sounded vaguely like it was calling “—Dad!” but Valer shook his head, thinking it was just a strange hallucination.

Shione watched him with deeply regretful eyes.

“Dad!”

****

Have you ever heard those scary stories where you call out for your mom in a dream, and everyone turns to look at you?

“Waaah! Why is everyone looking at me?!”

Scary!

When all the Valers turned toward me at once, a chill ran down my spine and I bolted.

No, seriously—why are you all staring at me when I’m just looking for my dad?!

…Wait.
Are you all my dad?

Based on my experience with my master, if I roughly guessed what was going on, this looked like countless versions of my dad from innumerable regressions—different timelines killing each other.

‘Did Dad regress a little too much?’

That must be why there are so many.

“This is insane. How am I supposed to find the real one here?!”

This isn’t like finding a needle in a haystack—it’s like finding a grain of sand on a beach!

I wanted to smash the escape button, but this wasn’t even a situation I could run away from.

Status window!
Last God!

Anyone, please help!

That was when it happened.

While running through the ruins to avoid the countless Valers, I tripped over a rock and fell.

Wow. When luck turns bad, it really turns bad.

Lying on the ground, I was having extreme thoughts like,
‘What if I just grab them one by one and interrogate them?’

“…You okay?”
