The Returner

“Ha……. ”

Lee Hyuk looked up at the clear sky and breathed a deep elasticity.

“Here, here. ”

Taking the warm sunshine from the sky, Lee Hyuk picked up the fruit juice that was lying next to the beach chair and sucked it.

When the cold beverage flowed down my neck while I was warmed by the warm sun, my body was covered with fresh air.

“This is healing. ”

The burning sun and the endless ocean.

It made me feel like this is why people go on vacation. There was another break from playing the game and looking at the book.

Whoo-hoo!

The phone on the table next to my head rang.

A KSF-specific smartphone.

You didn't even roam, and here you are!

Lee Hyuk checked his phone and got a phone call.

“Uh, Mom. ”

― Son, what are you doing?

“Well, I'm sunbathing. ”

- In this weather?

“What's the weather like? It's hot in here.”

- Where the hell is it hot? It looks like it's outside.

“Oh, where am I……. ”

Lee Hyuk turned his head and asked.

“Hey, where did I say I was? ”

“ ……. ”

The little woman, lying on her head on the ground, has no answer.

“Is he dead?”

Well, it's none of your business.

“Mom, they said this is near the equator, but it's summer. I'm in a bathing suit. ”

- I'm not messing with my mom like that.

“I'm not kidding.... ”

- You just got to work.

“There's a shuttle. No, now that he's dead, he's gone. ”

“... He's not dead yet...... ”

Lee Hyuk nodded at the voice coming from the floor.

“No, Mom. Shuttle's alive. ”

- I don't know what you mean.

I hear the sound of my tongue kicking over the phone.

Lee Hyuk smiled and said.

“Anyway, good night. I'll be there tonight.”

- Yes, don't get into trouble! Okay? - Okay.

“Uh, Mom. ”

Lee Hyuk hung up the phone and threw down his phone as if it were a table.

“Ah, summer in the middle of winter. This is why you make money and go on vacation. ”

There was nothing that could not be done in Beraf, but I had never thought that the weather would go to another place because it was a different way of thinking from Earth.

It would have been easier to move if I had just thought about it back then.

Was it because I couldn't afford it?

It's a funny story that he can't afford to live an infinite amount of time, but he couldn't find the time.

Compared to that, it's paradise now....

‘There's something subtly wrong with it. ’

I think I have finally returned to the place I had only wished for, but rather, the strange emptiness was dominating his emotions.

However, the biggest problem was that we still could not figure out the cause of the emptiness.

“I like vacations, too. Right?"

“This dog……. ”

Lee Hyuk shook his head.

“Idol shouldn't say that. ”

To get in trouble.

What if there's cameras everywhere?

Lee Hyuk got up from his seat with his head turned upside down.

He sees a peaceful emerald sea in his eyes.

The sunny beach in a beautiful resort....

“Aaahhhh!”

“Help me!”

“Stop! Stop it! ”

... It was hell.

Lee Hyuk clapped his hands, watching Kim Da-hyun soar high in the sky by kicking his foot.

Phew!

The water fountain rises as if a cannonball had fallen.

But where is it?

If it fell to the ground, it wouldn't have ended with a few broken bones.

Myjik is too good a problem.

It's like kicking into the ocean.

Lee Hyuk picked up a cigarette that had been placed on the table and put it in his mouth and lit the fire.

“… so peaceful. ”

“Where are you going!”

I thought I heard strange noises from afar, but let's ignore them.

What's going on?

What happened is...

* * *

“No? ”

Lee Hyuk nodded.

“No, no, no. ”

“I think it's big enough. ”

“It's a place for talented people... It's small. ”

Precisely where the mist and the monsters who depend on him will run.

“So what do we do? There's no way it's bigger than half. ”

“You don't have to look in the country. ”

“… Yes? ”

“All you need is a man. Arctic, Antarctic, desert. Or, what, can I borrow something big? ”

“How are you going to get there? ”

Lee Hyuk turned his head and looked at Jung-min.

“What are you, CF? You went overseas to film? ”

“Huh? Yes! Then why do you keep talking back to me? ”

If I give birth to a child, a hundred generations older than you.

However, Lee Hyuk did not say that out loud.

I'm going to carve it into my bones anyway.Why would I want to talk to you like that?

“Is it marked? ”

“Yes.”

Lee Hyuk looked at Choi Jung-hoon.

“Nearby and unpopular, just focus on where it's marked. The wider the better.”

“I understand.”

Cho Jung-hoon quickly cooperated with the people and began to search for islands.

“Found it.”

“Well, here? ”

Lee Hyuk watched the screen of Choi Jung-hoon's phone.

“An island close to marking. It's a short trek. It's completely uninhabited. We have permission from the relevant countries. ”

“Gosh, that was fast. ”

I knew I was capable, but this was too much.

“I did some research in advance, just in case. ”

“Khh, look at the stats. ”

Lee Hyuk nodded in admiration of Choi Jung-hoon's superior abilities.

“Here we go. ”

“Yes, sir. I'll make it quick. ”

“Yes.”

Park Seong-chan, who was listening to the conversation of the two people, looked at Lee Hyuk with anxious eyes.

“Hey, but... ”

“Yes?”

“What are you going to do? ”

“Didn't you hear the explanation? ”

Lee Hyuk's gaze turned towards Seo Ah Young.

Seo Ah Young shrugged.

“Knowing doesn't change anything. ”

You don't know anything about drugs?

He's gonna get stabbed in the back one day.

I don't know what to do, man.

But...

“That can't be wrong. ”

There's no turning back now.

When Lee Hyuk laughed, strangers smiled with an awkward face.

* * *

“It flies well. ”

Lee Hyuk whistled as he saw another flying person.

It's not a paperback, and flying around a lot is very unrealistic, but there was a strange charm that made people cool.

Maybe it's because of Lee Hyuk.

Ojii, who blew up another person, turned his head, met Lee Hyuk's eyes, sticked out his tongue, and said hehe.

Lee Hyuk smiled happily and said, looking like he was hoping for a compliment.

“Cover your eyes. ”

Queek.

“Oh, he's so ugly. He was cute when he was little. It's strange that I feel like I'm seeing a ceremony. ”

If Ogres feel bad because they resemble Chang Ceremony, what will become of Chang Ceremony?

Lee Hyuk yawned while looking at the beach.

Not only was there a mistake, but there were four monsters who were subordinated here this time. And I was picking on the talents without hurting them as much as I could according to Lee Hyuk's orders.

Lee Hyuk whistled as he saw another person who could fly to the sea.

“Let's get dressed. ”

Park Sung-chan, wearing an intense triangle bathing suit, shines a bronze body and flies toward the sea.

I came here to train myself, but I couldn't feel what kind of crazy outfit he was wearing.

“Anyways, no one's out of their minds for those with abilities. ”

The dedication method is difficult to prove, but it is obsolete when it comes to indulgence.

It's hard to find a healthy one!

“Y-you have to say... ”

“Yes?”

As Lee Hyuk looked back, Choi Jung-hoon, who was in a neutral posture, held an iced coffee in one hand.

“Here's your Iced Americano. ”

“Thank you!”

Lee Hyuk sipped his coffee and spit out elasticity.

“Bitter, like a pro. ”

“I have a barista license. ”

“There's nothing I can't do, really. ”

I can see the sudden tent behind Choi Jung-hoon.

You can even see the latest machinery that fits inside the tent.

Ugh.

At that moment, I hear this beep coming from below.

Jung-min turned his head and looked at Jung-hoon.

You rotten human!

I can't believe you made me move a coffee maker!

Looking at Jung Jeong-hoon's lively eyes, Choi turned his head.

No, I told her to take everything she needs, but what am I supposed to do?

Did you think I'd do this?

Other people are combat training, but Jung-min is a teleporter. It was Lee Hyuk who made all the households without training to move a lot.

So blame it on Lee Hyuk!

Choi Jung-hoon looked at Lee Hyuk, ignoring Jung-min's young living eyes.

“Is this training really helping? ”

In Lee Hyuk's eyes, Kim Da-hyun bounced off the sand.

“I think so."

“I think I'm just hurting myself for no reason. ”

“I told you to be gentle. ”

Gently?

Is that it?

Do you see the weight of a man flying 100 meters?

“I don't think so... ”

Lee Hyuk smiled and sucked the Americano straight up with a straw.

“If you're right, you're supposed to be on the Express at Hwangcheon-gil. If you're right and you're still alive, be gentle. ”

Well, that makes sense.

No, no, no!

The sequelae is the problem, the sequelae!

“What if he can't even beg? ”

“You worry a lot, mister. ”

“Deputy Director, Hyung, Jung-hoon Choi, over there. ”

Of all the many and many titles, why are you? I haven't even gotten married yet.

“Yes? Uncle? ”

“… No. ”

Mister... Mister...

It's not wrong to say.

You're gonna die of old age working here all the time.

There was a salty dew around Choi Jung-hoon's eyes.

“Do you think they're doing the begging? ”

“ ……. ”

“People like Ogres will keep coming. No one can see you. But I can't handle one foods that I can't handle without my strength. Will it be wrong from now on? ”

Lee Hyuk's words were not wrong.

Cho Jung-hoon also did not say it, but it was the part I was anxious about.

What would have happened without Lee Hyuk?

Didn't South Korea already collapse?

“In fact, this is what's been happening since Black Monday. I guarantee that this will continue to happen.... ”

“No.”

Lee Hyuk cut off Choi Jung-hoon's words.

“I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming. ”

Even Choi Jung-hoon, who was so sure, fell into question.

Is there any reason? ’

Lee Hyuk stood up.

“I'm going to be annoyed... but it'll be a little easier for me to build someone." ”

Lee Hyuk bent his head violently, then rushed forward with his hands.

Although he could have built an army of monsters, he knew better than anyone that there was a limit to monsters that could not be trusted with intelligence.

Especially if I didn't intend to turn humanity against one another, like in Beraf, I needed to live in some harmony here.

The day will come when we will sweep the world with an army of magic and fight the whole world.

Humans worship or hate beings they cannot afford.

Worship, hatred, and the end are not good.

So...

“We've got to make these idiots more human. ”

It's gonna be really hard.

Am I?

No, they...
