The Returner
Nine. I didn't come back for this! -1
“I came back, but... ”
Lee Hyuk whistled while counting the money in his hands. Strange things got a little hectic, but the profit was better than being dragged around for just a few hours.
Moreover, thanks to this, I was able to understand a certain amount of the situation in this world.
The most encouraging thing was that only five years had passed since the day he was dragged into Beraf.
Five years!
In the worst case scenario, I assumed the world would be destroyed. After the same time we spent in Beraph, there was nothing new about the extinction of all mankind through the nuclear war.
It's only been five years!
At least now I have nothing to worry about to tie my head to to communicate with evolved cockroaches. How refreshing this must be.
Moreover, the dimensional axis seemed to have come to the right place. Thankfully, his identity exists, although something strange is happening with the monsters.
Eventually, he escaped from that hellish Beraf.
Moreover, his body was wounded now.
My nose is tingling with twin-nose blood. There is still less recovery. It would have been unimaginable if it had been Beraf who had been restored to his original form in three seconds when his body had been ashen. If so, he could now be hurt or die.
Yes, you're human again.
Something is clumsy.
What made him most difficult for a long time was not the loneliness of falling into another world or the yearning for this world.
I overcame that in the first place. Roughly 150 years after he fell into Beraf?
What troubled him the most was that he would never forget and that he would never die.
If I could forget life on earth as time went on, I would not have acted that way if I could die even if my body was torn to pieces.
He probably just died in Beraf.
However, he was not allowed to forget, and he had no choice but to live forever thanks to the body that was neither dead nor old.
A man, but not a man.
That was the left hand of destruction, Lee Hyuk.
But now I'm hurt. You could die! It's time to become human.
I was stunned when I came back, with only a vague will to return. I didn't come back here to do anything.
“I'm going home. ”
First things first.
I have to go home, home.
And before that....
Lee Hyuk looked down at his clothes.
“Let's buy clothes first. ”
It was a wise decision.
I went to a SPA brand store to find a shopping center near me Lee Hyuk put on the hood and started picking clothes. While coming here, his gaze seemed to be more than he had ever received in a lifetime.
I had a better look at him like he was looking at a zoo monkey. His compassionate gaze makes him shiver as if he were looking at a human lacking something.
‘I feel embarrassed to die. ’
That's not why I wanted to wear this. At first, he tried to make jeans to find his own identity, and kept up with his modern attire. But after a year, two years, a hundred years, 200 years, that too became meaningless. In the end, all he chose to do was shut up and perform!
This robe, which people look at around the clock, is a treasure that Beraf's Wizard would want to sell his wife for. Magic resistance to physical resistance, and automatic Mana interference and equation aids.
And most importantly, it had its own magic circuits, so it was able to express magic simply by providing simple formulas. A gift from God, not an artifact level, is a good treasure.
‘Then what are you doing? It's just a gigantic beating. ’
Unfortunately, this robe, which exerts absolute power in Beraf, is just the beginning here. Mana, which was full of magical circuits, was empty and didn't work at all even if she was forced to pull and push it in.
I don't know how or where to start, but the laws of the world are different.
So you have to change without foolishness. No, even if this robe exerts 120% of my performance, I have to change it. Lee Hyuk is no longer immortal. If it's hard, you might get embarrassed and die.
It's the trendiest fashion in Beraf!
I picked up the right shirt, the right pants, panties, socks, and shoes. When he came to the dressing room, the staff who was watching with the hawk's eyes stopped him.
“Sir, you have to calculate first! ”
“Since when do I have to wear something like that! I didn't do it five years ago! ”
“The clothes are fine, but the socks and panties need to be counted. At least count your clothes with me. ”
“No, who do you think is a beggar? ”
The employee replied 'yes’ with his face and eyes. I look like a beggar just because I look like one. No, I didn't have a penny until a while ago, so I'm begging for it.
‘You can't hit this. ’
Lee Hyuk had finished eating.
If Ratrell's eyes hadn't bounced off the Dragon Heart and all the other magical accessories, all he had left was a bunch of broken magic robes and all the magic dust that disappeared.
There was no new way to engrave it because there were no ingredients. Even with the new engravings, there is no guarantee that Beraf's magic will work properly in this world.
Even when you're dealing with a monster named Jarchev, you can't use magic at all. Had it not been for the rigors I learned wandering around Beraf, he would be a corpse without a neck by now.
I was only able to get into the dressing room after I finished the calculations in cash. Meanwhile, there was a suspicious look in the cashier's eyes when he saw the money coming out of his pocket, but fortunately, it didn't happen until the police arrived.
When I changed all my clothes and put on new shoes, I wondered what to do with these gigantic times.
It's useless to take it. It's a pity to throw it away.
Eventually, Lee Hyuk shoved the clothes and shoes from Beraf into the paper bag.
I came out of the dressing room and stood in front of the full-body mirror, and the handsome man was smiling at him.
“Good.”
When I saw my modern outfit, I felt good for no reason. I smiled and left the store. When the clothes and shoes were sorted out, the zoo monkey's gaze disappeared.
I went down to the subway station with a paper bag.
I was also worried that he would be able to ride without making a mistake, but his body was taking care of itself. It was good that the memory wasn't blurred.
I don't need to adapt.
His body was in Beraf, but his memory and soul were here. Everything was natural.
After transferring the subway, I arrived in a town that had only lived in the past.
Lee Hyuk looked at the old public apartment with an impressive face. I don't know why this house used to be so embarrassing.
I got on the elevator and stood at his doorstep.
‘Oh, but you're not so bold. ’
I felt my heart pounding.
I thought it would just feel like going back into the house that came yesterday because of my unchanging memory, but seeing my heart throbbing like this, I guess my time in Beraf wasn't just passing away.
Otherwise, the limitations of memory not changing could have been lifted, so the memory in Beraf affected the old memory. I don't care.
Zhongdong.
Lee Hyuk pressed the bell.
- Who are you?
I hear the voice of a middle-aged woman. Lee Hyuk suppressed the unknown emotion that was filling his heart.
“It's me, Mom. ”
I think my voice is a little shaky....
Is that gonna be okay?
You'd be surprised what I see in five years, wouldn't you? If you were to ask me where I was and what I was doing, what would I say?
Suddenly, I had a lot of thoughts, but I felt good now. The important thing is that you've only just returned to your family.
“Son!"
The door opens wide and a middle-aged woman leaps out.
You're back.
Now you're back here.
The woman ran out to Lee Hyuk, who forcibly pushed the tears that were about to leak out, said.
“Who are you?”
“ ……. ”
Don't you even know she's five years old?
Lee Hyuk shouted with all his sorrow and annoyance.
“Who are you? ”
They gazed at each other silently for a while.
I thought I'd see you again.
Soon, too.
That's why I let him go gently. If you let it go properly and keep an eye on it, there will be a number of people.
The sooner I saw it, the sooner I saw it, the better the number of people I watched for, so there was nothing bad about it.
However, there was one minor problem.
“Isn't that a little fast? ”
Seo Ah-young pressed her forehead with her fingers. My head is itchy. The rebellion against the rabbit trapped in the trap is too severe, so I've put a proper tracker on it and released it again. But this rabbit crawled back on its feet in half a day.
Seo Ah-young looked at the bunny, Lee Hyuk.
“Lee Ji-hyuk. ”
“… Yes. ”
“No, we look like we're very busy people. Choi Jeong-hoon over there comes home every three days. But what are we supposed to do if we don't have to come in here and see our faces and tell them what to say? ”
Lee Hyuk's shoulders shrunk.
“So what's your business? I thought you said you were going home. ”
“I left... …. ”
“I left. What? ”
Lee Hyuk's lips slightly trembled.
Lee Hyuk trembled for a long time and gave a very difficult voice.
“This……. ”
“Ease?”
“She moved away. ”
Seo Ah-young didn't say anything.
Choi Jeong-hoon kept stealing the reddened eyes.
After coming home after five years, I don't even know where I've moved to.
It's only known for five years.
Lee Hyuk pressed his shoulders down and shouted in his heart.
This is not why I came back! ’
It was Lee Hyuk who realized that life on Sa Sam Earth was difficult.
