The Returner

The guy was cool no matter who saw him.

Beyond race and age, he was clearly old and dandy.

But is there anyone who can call him "awesome" now?

Of course, I couldn't hide my slightly raised head, flat chin line, a dull nose blade, and the handsome appearance of dark eyebrows, but the dark circles coming down to my chin and the exhausted look on my face made me sad.

The man sniffed all the way through the Tumblr's icy quantum tonic.

Perhaps the best thing he's ever done is rebuild this quantum tension company and restore the recipe. If it weren't for that, I'd have died from exhaustion before.

“W-well, sir. ”

“Yes?”

“There's been an accident in the Latrell district. They're dispatching military patrols from the area that says they've collided with the southwest. ”

“Why else? ”

“Looks like they're trying to secure the gate to Beraph from the Church's rigid leg. They pushed the restricted area in at scale. ”

“Shhh.”

Jung-hoon Choi squeezed his face.

“No! Why all the commotion without permission?" If you just say yes, I'll let you go! ”

“I'm not asking you to send me away. It's just an excuse."

“Call the Drahn cult. I need to see the Pope.”

“Yes, I will do it right away. ”

Choi Jung-hoon scratched his head.

“Bastards. ”

It was never easy for two different worlds to live in harmony. Initially, there was no major problem because there was a sense that we could overcome the horrors of war together, and there was a perception that each helped the other, but over time, problems occurred.

Different cultures and different ways of living

Race, religion, and culture dictate how Earthlings die and kill each other.

Moreover, recently, there has been a depletion of sacred power. At the same time, the anxiety of the Beravs is escalating.

Diolet XII desperately wants to appease everyone, but there is a shortage. At this rate, even the extreme ingredients appeared to return to Beraf, which still remains the blessing of God.

even though we don't really have the full benefit of science and we want to improve our position as second-class citizens.

“So is America. When did the anti-discrimination law go into effect? ”

War clouded the notion of a country. In order to cope with the humanitarian crisis, a common recognition was created that required an institution to encompass the entire human race, and a global institution that could intervene throughout the country was created.

I still look like this.

“Of course there is a phenomenon... ”

Accidents are worth living for. Immediately after the war, food comes first, and everyone is united. However, as civilization was rebuilt and the world changed, conflict arose.

Perhaps this conflict is proof that their world is worth living again.

Except Jung-hoon is dying in the middle of it.

RRRRR.

At that time, Choi Jung-hoon's phone started ringing.

“Hnng... ”

Choi Jung-hoon, who confirmed the name on the crystal, sighed and answered the phone.

“So... what's going on? ”

Don't you want to go to Hawaii this time?

“Hawaii?”

- Yes.

“Ye-won, I'm really busy these days. I'm very busy. If I'm in the mood for a vacation in Hawaii, I'd like to wipe my feet and sleep on the couch for three days.

- You're always busy.

Why would he know that?

-Let's go. This time, Haemin and Da-som are going with her.

“Both? ”

- Yes.

“Strange, isn't it? Didn't Hamin say he was busy with the concert? ”

- She's busy and she's busy. We've been hanging out for a long time. That's why Dae-hyun has decided to come.

“Who's going to let you go? I'm busy. You want to play? Don't even think about taking a vacation. ”

- Oh, my God, you're so mean. I didn't used to say that.

“The world made me what I am! ”

The lives of the talented have not changed that much. Despite the massacre, the horse system was still full of horses. Monsters from other dimensions threatened the world through often occurring cracks, and talented people worked diligently to get rid of the horses.

The knights and wizards of Beraf supported me, so I was able to organize the horses more easily than in the past.

The difficulty decreased, but as the number of talents decreased, I was always busy living. Kim Da Hyun, the most important person in the world, is able to move quickly, and he's going on vacation?

“Not until the dirt gets in my eyes. ”

~ Wow! You... are terrible, really. Dae-hyun needs to live, too.

“Who killed him? It's okay, it's okay. I'm not dying.”

- Are you going to tell your mom?

“ ……. ”

Choi Jeong-hoon flinched as Park Sun-dong's name appeared. It was Park who was afraid of him in the world. She has a debt conscience.

“... Yes. Go, go, go. But I can't go. I'm really busy.”

- I wasn't expecting it. Be nice to your sister. I thought you said we were close.

“Yeah, we're almost there. ”

- Talk to me when she gets out. I'm gonna go check it out.

“Yes, thank you. ”

Jung-hoon who hung up his phone woke up from his seat sighing. As I slowly walked to the window, Choi Jung-hoon looked down at the city below the windshield.

A skyscraper rising from the sky fills his eyes.

‘It was long.’

It took me 10 years to get here.

Even though it looks more spectacular now than it used to be, it's not just what it looks like.

Mankind that had been tightly connected had gathered in cities and cities. Thanks to this, cities were able to develop densely, but not as evenly using the land as in the past.

‘But you should be proud. ’

The effort Choi Jeong-hoon put into coming here was utterly impossible.

I reduced my sleep at night and tried not to take a single break. I've never wasted my time every day.

Of course, many people helped him.

The NDFs did their best not to harm humanity. I heard that they too were feeling their own debt, giving up half their lives to save the world.

There are those who don't give up their lives after all.

“He's a great guy. ”

In the end, Jeongjin succeeded in paralleling the lives of celebrities and talents.

As humanity crowded into cities and cities, he turned around for free to comfort people because he was a teleporter.

Those who laughed at her first had to admit to her life later. You still don't look like you're going to get married.

Kim Da-Som worked as a passageway between humanity and Beraf, learning the magic of Beraf.

Although I'm surprised that she chose such a life, which was hard to find as socialite, her attempts were quite successful, and she is now serving as a representative diplomat.

Kim Da Hyun and Yoon Hyuk-gyu were working hard on the NDF. Most countries have almost lost their powers. The Demon King's army was obsessed with those who could resist, and the people survived, and he was in a strange situation where there were no troops and no capable men.

The gap is filled by the NDF.

NDF capable of handling one gate alone has become an important power source. Once inside the World Organisation, NDF flew all over the world to clear the gates at every request. Like a guardian of humanity.

Dogyoon has left NDF.

One of the people who didn't know what he was doing was Dogyun. Other than coming to Seo Ah-young sometimes and having a cup of tea, what she was doing was not quite right.

Choi Jung-hoon thought that she was just waiting.

Him.

And Seo Ah-young...

RRRRR.

Choi Jung-hoon, who checked the liquid on his phone, answered the phone in a panic.

“Huh, what's going on? ”

- Strawberries! I want strawberries!

“Now?”

- Yes, now!

“No, I'm a little busy right now.... ”

- I know, but it's not that I want to eat, it's my baby. So, what do we do? Told you to be patient?

“But I'm too busy. ”

- Honey.

“Huh?"

- I know you're busy, but you haven't been home in three days. I miss her. What do I do? Should I go there now?

“... I'll buy it. ”

- Come on, honey.

Choi Jung-hoon recently married Seo Ah-young. Eventually…….

I ran away until the end, but I finally had to give in to Seo Ah-young's threat of what I would do if I got old and got obstructed.

Lee Ye-won interrupted the teeth until the end, but there was no woman in the world who could beat Seo Ah-young.

It's not just the personality. Today, Seo Ah-young is famous for being the world's greatest power. I folded my activities at the time of pregnancy, but no one followed her around with fame and abilities.

Even the polar molecules of Beraph, who condemn this world to the will of God, were silent in a single blow of her flame.

So...

What am I supposed to do? ’

How can you resist?

I was really busy in the past and couldn't go home, but now I'm afraid to go home. Marriage should have listened to Lee Hyuk.

‘Lee Hyuk... ’

Choi Jung-hoon smiled bitterly.

The name was becoming unfamiliar now. After the war, Lee Hyuk was promoted to a saint and protector who saved humanity. All the world praised his name.

But he didn't last long either.

Although Lee Hyuk's accomplishments did not disappear, there could not have been time to praise them in front of the harsh life that came right away. Time took away everything, and even Lee Hyuk's existence slowly faded away.

‘Humans are deceitful. ’

Those who praised his grace with tears later forgot him. Now, it was hard to hear the name Lee Hyuk. Only those who have watched him make sacrifices can think of him as someone from the past.

"It's hard."

Choi Jung-hoon felt very lonely.

Only when the world was leaning on him could Choi Jeong-hoon understand the burden of Lee Hyuk's life.

‘It's a ridiculous idea. ’

Choe Jeong-hoon should not at least prevent the destruction of humanity. Lee Hyuk has fought with a burden many times over. It was very difficult to take his place.

The difficulty of reality slowly erased the name Lee Hyuk, even in Jung-hoon's memory.

It was the best lesson I could give up my self-esteem, admitting it was a reality I couldn't help but admit.

“... When are you coming back? ”

Too many years have passed.

At first, I thought it would just be a few years. By the time five years had passed, I knew I'd be back by now. It was around the time he first spent in this world.

However, seven years later, ten years later, Lee Hyuk did not return.

The world he went to was a different world from here.

I had no idea how much time had passed there.

Do you think he'll stay? This world in his memory?

When was the first time I thought he might come back?

Bang.

Choi Jung-hoon put a cigarette in his mouth and lit the fire.

I told everyone to hang up, but I couldn't hang up like this. When I cut it off, I really felt like I was putting everything down.

Someone should smoke a cigarette with him when he gets back.

Recently, even Park Seon-Duk said that he wanted to stop living and forget about it. Perhaps you feel sorry for yourself for being obsessed with Lee Hyuk. Parents can't forget their children.

But…….

Choi Jung-hoon's phone, who reached out and touched the glass, began to ring again.

“Phew... ”

Choi Jung-hoon shakes his head.

‘You just don't let it go. ’

Choi Jung-hoon, who received the call, confidently said.

“I'm Choi Jung-hoon.”

- I need you to come over here.

“Yes?”

He was Yoon Young-min who resigned from the presidency and served as General Branch Head of East Asia.

- I don't think Beraf's side is suspicious. According to this, it looks like Alpha's children are taking the cure.

“Things like cockroaches are real. ”

Choi Jung-hoon covered his face with one hand.

Those who followed the Alpha did not surrender to reality, even though the Alpha was gone. Brainstormed by competent supremacy, they acted like Resistance and increased their influence.

Recently, they've been plotting a war against humanity by provoking the veraphs who have lost their gods and become confused.

“Do you have any information? ”

- Possibly.

“I'll be there as soon as I can. But... I wonder if there's a solution. ”

- Of course. But we can't just sit here and watch.

“Yes, you're right. I'll be right there.”

Choi Jung-hoon hung up the phone and put his forehead on a cold glass.

‘Tired.’

Recently, I have been experiencing difficulties.

Veravs who have lost their gods and become violent, and Earthlings who are nostalgic for the convenience of the past. All of those anxiety factors were boiling through the loosened control of the state agency.

There have already been a few riots and a few minor wars.

“If he had, no one would have dared to make a scene. ”

Diolet was 12.

And Jung-hoon also empathized with that. He is a hero to the earthlings, and evil to the veraphs. If he had lived without doing anything, the world would have been stable.

‘Cause once you're ignorant, ’

If you're pissed off, you're a man, and you're nothing but a blind thug. I don't want Choi Jung-hoon to lead the world in law and order, but there was a time when I thought that I wanted Lee Hyuk to turn it all upside down.

Choi Jeong-hoon, who was staring out the window, smiled as he slowly watched the sunset watering the world.

“I told you I was going to create a world where you would come back, and I haven't done anything else yet. ”

Bitter voice.

“But I did my best. I have no choice but to limit my abilities. Curse me, or I'll sweeten it for you. ”

I need someone to listen to me.

The one who will listen to this.

No matter how hard I tried to fill it, I felt an empty spot and sighed low.

‘We have to move.'

I can't stop even if I'm tired and tired. That's his job.

When he turned to think about how to excuse Seo Ah-young, he saw Kim Jae-Beom rushing into his office.

“What's going on? ”

“Th-there's no meteorite left. ”

“What?"

“Meteorites, meteorites! ”

“Where?”

“I heard it's in the middle of Seoul. There's a commotion. ”

“… then why are you telling me that? ”

Even though Cho Jeong-hoon is the best handler of this and that, he doesn't even care about meteorites in Seoul.

“This isn't the first time I've dropped a meteor shower. Isn't the gate in the air? General Jung In Soo will take care of it. Korea is his jurisdiction. ”

“Yes, that's right. But……. ”

“What?”

Choi Jung-hoon fell into a strange feeling.

It's strange.

What is this feeling? I don't think I've felt it in a long time...

“A KSF unit that was trying to suppress it bounced off the ground. ”

“One generation? ”

Choi Jung-hoon's eyes widened.

KSF is not KSF in the past. It has been a long time since they were bullied by NDF's teachings…… to bring back the suffering of their training.

The fact that one such KSF generation has not been able to use it means that a monster of level 8 or higher has appeared in a few years.

“Damage?”

“There doesn't seem to be any deaths. It's just a broken radish. ”

“… it's worse……. ”

Being able to subdue without even scarring meant there was a big difference. Choi Jung-hoon's face became more serious. That means at least level 9... No, I didn't even know that the first monsters had appeared. Level 10 or higher.

“Screen?”

“It's hard to get. Satellites aren't picking up anything around them, even if they're jammed. However, telephone is available. ”

“What's the occasion? ”

“I am well……. ”

“Okay. So? ”

“Yes! The search party is heading in." I've got him on the phone. I think you should receive this information in real time and take action. ”

“… Got it. ”

Choi Jung-hoon assumed the worst.

If you're a level 10, you're a Demon. No, maybe more.

“Summon the NDF for now. Go to Seoul right now. ”

“Yes!”

“And…. ”

At that moment, with a hissing sound, Kim Jae Bum's phone started to hear a sound.

“Put me on speaker. ”

“Yes!”

I plugged the phone into the poison I had in my office, and I started hearing a loud voice.

- What is this?

Choi Jung-hoon immediately opened his mouth.

“What's going on? ”

- There are people!

“People?”

What are you talking about? We must have run out of meteorites, KSF…….

“What's the situation?”

― I don't know exactly. We don't know if it's a victim or a target. Even now... No! It's moving!

Choi Jung-hoon gripped his fist tightly. It was a tense moment.

― Move subtly……. No, what the hell is he doing?

“Huh?"

- No. Why are you stuttering on the floor there? Are you crying? Oh, yeah?

Choi Jung-hoon's face became blank.

Where are you going? ’

It brings back memories.

A little weird, maybe a little warm.

The sight that will never be forgotten.

Tears started to fill Choi Jung-hoon's eyes.

I don't believe it.

But I have to believe it. I felt a slight tingling in my chest. You hear the sound through a whirlpool of unruly emotions.

As if it were natural.

- Asphalt!

“Heave-ho, heave-ho.”

Choi Jung-hoon smiled as he listened to the situation beyond the phone that became confused. I laughed as if I couldn't help but shed tears.

“Sir?"

Jung-hoon Choi yelled at Kim Jae-bum, who said he didn't know English.

“Repeater!”

“Yes!”

“Get the Coke! ”

“Yes?”

Choi Jeong-hoon stole his eyes, looking at Kim Jae-hoom's silly face.

“I've got a box in the fridge, so bring it now. I have to go right away. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

Choi Jung-hoon smiled loudly as he saw Kim Jae Beom running away without understanding the situation at all. Choi Jung-hoon smiled and pressed the button on the smartwatch on his wrist.

Now everyone will gather.

To welcome him back.

Choi Jung-hoon smiled with tears as he heard the commotion coming from across the phone. With a happy face.

- Uncle, can you lend me some money so I can buy you a Coke?

- What are you talking about, you lunatic?
