The Returner

Police have not yet ruled out the perpetrator for serial killings across the country. Now that the ninth victim has occurred, at this rate, the most...]

“Phew... ”

Park Seon-Duk frowned and turned the TV.

A serial killer. It felt like my heart was pounding.

“The world has become too scary. ”

“Huh?"

Lee Ye-won, who was poking around on the couch on her cell phone and eating sweets, looked at Park Seon-Duk with a tilt of her head.

“No.”

“Huh?”

Park Seon-Duk sighed.

I think I recognize that look.

Since I moved here, it was good to be able to rub my head like a ghost and not go around every night, but it felt like I was being blocked in a different sense.

“Aren't you getting a little fat? ”

“Really? Have you gained weight? It's not.”

That t-shirt you're wearing like a tighty, the one you were whining about growing up?

Did I miss something?

I've been at school all day, and if I don't lose weight, is that a person, you bastard?

Park Seon-Duk was desperate for the cruelty of extremists who didn't know how to deal with his active rebels or stubborn household choir, considering whether he was superior to his daughter.

The other kids are so big, but what the hell are these?

‘And that's weird, too. ’

I don't like my brother when he sings "No," and now he resembles me forever.

I was scared that he would become like his real brother.

However, his brother is a strange person who eats and eats all day, but doesn't gain any weight. Why didn't he inherit his body even though he looks like that?

Derrick.

You said tigers would come if I told you.

Lee Hyuk opened the door and came inside.

“Well, son. I went... ”

Park Seon-Duk lost his words for a moment and looked up and down at Lee Hyuk.

“Son! What's gotten into you? In one day!”

Lee Hyuk replied unequivocally.

“Tanning, Tanning. ”

“What a tan this winter! And isn't tanning supposed to be cool? You just changed your race. ”

Lee Hyuk, who fell helplessly on the floor, said with a desperate tone.

“Whose fault is this? This is how you were born! I was told I was a monster! ”

Suddenly the snow is blessed!

Even if your skin color were different and your hair color were different, if your eyes were a little bigger and your nose was a little more distorted, you wouldn't be able to resist!

“Where are you? ”

“... there is such a place. ”

“And that's how I was born... I misunderstood, dear. You were beautiful at first, too. Big eyes.”

“But?”

“What could I have done when I was growing up? ”

“No one is responsible for the outcome! This isn't politics! ”

“First of all, you're a man, so take it up with your dad instead of me. ”

“Huh?"

Ah, Father...

That's right.

“By the way, I think I've seen your face.... Mom, did your dad come with you when you moved in? ”

“What are you talking about? We flew together. ”

“Was it?”

Such a furry existence is sorrowful, the head of this age.

“Then where have you gone now? ”

“You came to work!”

“Oh, really? Did you get a job again? ”

“It's been a month since your father left for Korean energy. Why are you so distracted? ”

“… Mom, I don't think I'm crazy. ”

“Huh? What do you mean? ”

Lee Hyuk turned his head, unable to speak.

Dad, how are you?

Strangely, I miss my father living in the same house.

Do people recognize you at work?

Oh, I'm scared... thinking about this.

What do we do at work?

You're not eating alone, are you?

Lee Hyuk decided to stop by his father's company soon and went into the room.

“Weren't you? ”

“I washed up. ”

“Where?”

Lee Hyuk smiled.

“Maldives?”

Lee Hyuk's words made Park Seon-Duk's face subtle.

“Jihyuk.”

“Huh?"

“Are you having a hard time at work? ”

Oh, yeah?

... Mom, I'm not crazy. It's true!

You really went that way?

Wow, there's no way to prove this... This is insane.

“Ah!”

Lee Hyuk took out his cell phone and smiled and gave it to his mother.

“What is this? ”

“Photos.”

Park Seon-Duk snorted as Lee Hyuk gave out a picture of the emerald sea background.

“Synthetic.”

“Phew.”

“Aren't you too easy to see? ”

Mommy's looking at you so pathetic!

I don't deserve to be treated like this!

“Anyway, I washed up. So I'm going in.”

“Yes. Where's Bob? ”

“Let's eat together later. ”

“Yes, of course. ”

When Lee Hyuk entered the room, Park Seon-deok called Lee Ye-won with his hands.

Lee Ye-won's eyes sparkled, so she stuck to the side of Park Seon-Duk.

“I think so, right? ”

“Yes, Mom. I saw it too.”

In the corner of the photo taken by Lee Hyuk, there was clearly a picture of Jung-min.

The two mothers did not miss it with the eye of the falcon.

“It wouldn't be weird to go to Maldives if you went to Teleport, right? ”

“Yes. I'll be back soon, then. ”

“Then what is it? Secret Moon Trip?”

“Hey, Mom. Too much, but I don't know. Again! ”

Lee Hyuk tilted his head to the hissing sound that he heard outside the room.

Is something good going on?

Lee Ji-hyuk turned on his computer and started floating the location of the gate appearances on the map without turning on the game.

Lee Hyuk, who noticed the location of the gate by time and place, started rolling his head.

‘They were gathering around me. ’

But strangely, after entering the NDF, the gate around Lee Hyuk stopped approaching.

Instead, a different kind of gate was emerging in the large scope of South Korea.

It was important to blend into the overall mode of change to determine whether Lee Hyuk had been removed from the target or had begun to tighten Lee Hyuk even more.

But I didn't have enough information to figure it out right now.

It was also part of confirmation that he had to leave Korea to train.

If the gate opens towards the sea where he is, it means that the pattern of the gate that was chasing after Lee Hyuk is intact, otherwise something would have changed.

Either way, it wasn't something I couldn't handle.

Nevertheless, the response is because Lee Hyuk's time is no longer infinite.

It is different from when it takes 10 years to take a castle, but it is not in a hurry.

There was nothing mentally urgent at that time.

How long does it take to get away from the sequelae?

It is Lee Hyuk who has a similar sense of time as ordinary people.

“You're blurry.”

I had some time right now.

Even high-ranking monsters like HYDRA did not pose a threat to Lee Hyuk.

But there's no law that just goes on forever.

If a dragon-class creature appears tomorrow, the world will be doomed.

With Yi Hyuk now, even one dragon is too much to deal with.

But what if they show up in packs?

‘Does science feel so helpless... …. ’

With a little more time, humans will find a way to deal with dragons one day.

The problem was that no one in the world is contemplating dealing with such a high-ranking creature.

If a dragon appears and finds a way to deal with it, it may take years.

By then, the world will be nearly destroyed.

“Hmm……. ”

Lee Hyuk tilted his head.

There are two approaches that come to mind:

One needed to gather the strength of the talents and develop them.

Not only do we attract a handful of talents, but we need to be able to use every available one in a pyramid way.

And the other thing...

‘What should I do with Mana? ’

Actually, the urgent thing was this way.

Manaro, who recovers during combat, now has a balance of muscles, but he must one day reach his limit.

If it fails to produce the first one, Lee Hyuk is just an ordinary competent person.

“It's not like there's no other way. ”

There is a way to draw infinite Mana.

The problem is that it can accelerate the destruction of this world again.

Then Lee Hyuk will truly be the destroyer of this world, except for this method.

Then the other way is…….

‘First of all, I have no choice but to build an ether. ’

If Mana can't do it, he'll have to grow up.

To do that, we needed a more systematic analysis of the talents.

When you think about it, it's a lot of questions.

Why did abilities emerge?

After living in a world where it was natural for humans to breathe fire for more than a thousand years, I got used to it too easily, but I had to fundamentally dig into why this change happened.

“I'm going to have to go a little farther. ”

I needed to study the mechanisms of the talents a little more. The experimental materials are freshly prepared, so you won't have to worry.

The moment Lee Hyuk smiled, the agents of the NDF who were barely resting after their first day as hell had fallen into an unknown horror.

The next day.

Lee Hyuk came out to the front of the house and saw Jung-min waiting for him.

What is this, by the way? ’

Normally, Idol is the priority of his schedule, and he hates being borrowed from places like this.

Of course, I thought there would be repercussions, but there are no surprises.

I don't even feel like a star ritual, except whining about it.

Idol is an idol, but the tendency itself feels like a fluffy old maid.

Oh, except for crying.

“Why are you wearing sunglasses? What's wrong with your face? ”

Sunglasses, masks, and sunscreen in it, Jung Jeong-min, who was covered in doubles, cried out in a sharp voice.

“I'm on your face! ”

“Did you think I wouldn't ride? Arthur, no wrinkles. ”

“It's not the wrinkles, it's the sudden appearance of burns, it's the story of an enthusiastic curiosity about where you've been! ”

“Well, that's complicated. ”

“Come quickly. There may be reporters taking pictures somewhere while we're at it. ”

“There's no one here. ”

“How do you know? ”

“Don't believe it. ”

Jung Jae-min, who was looking at Lee Hyuk with suspicious eyes, nodded and reached out his hand.

“Grab it.”

Lee Hyuk grabbed her hand without a word.

Suddenly, their appearance is puffy, and they appear on the island before.

There were already a lot of people at the beach whether Lee Hyuk was the last one.

“Good morning. ”

Son of a bitch.

If he could speak with his eyes, an impossible acronym would have flown to him.

“Now, since I was a little off yesterday, why don't we start with today? ”

“Before that.... ”

A man stepped forward.

Spitfire. Yoon Hyuk-gyu.

He kept a vague distance from Lee Hyuk.

She's in the same family, but she's not really friendly, is she?

“Why should we do this? ”

Lee Hyuk tilted his head.

“Weak?”

The eyes of the Spitfire twist.

“We? We are the best Sailors in Korea! ”

“But you're weak. ”

“... so confident. I know you're talented in the broad spectrum. But then there's the telefamily. ”

“Hoho?”

“Do you have the courage to prove yourself weak? ”

“Mmmm... ”

I scratched my chin as if I was worried about Lee Hyuk.

“I'm asking because I don't know the difference. ”

Spitfire stares at Lee Hyuk without an answer.

“You don't want to train, or you don't like me? ”

“The latter, of course. People say you look like you're playing hard to get. ”

“Like a man.”

Spin around and give no other reason.

Very good, very good.

But…….

Lee Hyuk smiled.

“Weak is alive. ”

If it were Beraf, the weak would only be the food of the strong. Lee Hyuk respected them as much as he could.

But if it comes out like this, I have to do it my way.

“Then where……. ”

Lee Hyuk clenches his fist and points at the Spitfire.

“Let's see how strong you are. ”

You'll have to be prepared for it.

'Cause now I'm gonna do it my way.

Lee Hyuk's red feet started to stand on his eyes.
