Episode 80. The Truth Before Regression (additional)
80 episodes. The truth before the return
Consciousness is blurred. The feeling of floating in a vast universe made me feel cool and comfortable.
Well. Where was the last memory?
It must have been in the dungeon where the elves lived. Defeating the evil spirit was a thing of the past.
〚 Hey It’s been a long time.〛
A familiar voice in my head. My dazed mind was focused on the refreshing yet cool voice.
It was refreshing to see the World Tree in a healthier state than the last time I saw it. The rich leaves and dark auburn stems were also healthy.
It was judged that the power of the World Tree was restored to some extent as the power of the evil spirit weakened.
“… world number? Here, where are you?”
This is something other people would be concerned about.
〚Don’t worry. Because this is a space that I temporarily created only for consciousness. The baby’s real body is safe.〛
Wow. thank god.
〚 First of all, I want to say thank you. Thank you for saving my children. In return for keeping my promise, I will tell you the truth of the distant past.〛
“A truth from the distant past?”
As soon as I spoke the words, I could guess what he meant. Once upon a time, after returning, I had a lot of thoughts.
What if people came to my funeral after I died? Maybe he cursed that he died well.
who would be in charge Will even one person be sad?
Wasn’t my last road lonely?
〚… And this is also to be thankful for that human woman.〛
At the end of those words, a refreshing green light exploded in front of my eyes. It feels like your consciousness is being transferred to another world, like in an augmented reality game.
〚 Baby Can you see
I squinted a little at the sound of the world tree. But the sudden roar of the roar forced me to come to my senses.
“what. This?!”
It was a world completely ruined. Famous cities abroad, including developed countries, have become a wasteland.
“What, how could this be?”
It was like the end.
I had nothing to say when I saw the monsters walking out of the dungeon without a break. After leaving the human race, there was a situation where the monsters were fighting each other.
Humans were no longer the owners of the earth. Just a strong monster in the position of a predator.
The last city that survived was New Seoul. In fact, there was no clear way to even that.
In fact, it was close to the struggle of the few humans who survived to the end.
Irregular breathing trembled. I’d rather say it’s a lie.
“Is this what happened after I died?”
lips are trembling I expected the world tree to be a joke, but the words I heard were disastrous.
〚It is.〛
“Why are you showing me this? Look at me and tell me what to do.”
Why did this happen in the first place?
〚It’s hard to tell. However, there is no guarantee that something like this will not happen again.
A cold sweat is running down my back. Maybe it’s the future, so be prepared.
〚I’m sorry, baby, I have more to show you.〛
The World Tree spoke as if it had not begun.
Immediately, the scene in front of me began to change.
“… Kang Ga-young?”
A woman idly sitting in her ossuary.
I almost didn’t recognize it at first. my face is so hurt
His heart was pounding on his frizzy hair and his face stained with tears. Even the nails he loved so much were a mess, and there were traces of self-harm on his wrist.
She was a completely broken woman. She was the most perfect woman I’ve ever known.
My heart stings and my heart stings.
〚Is it hard to bear?〛
“no. it’s okay. Please keep showing me.”
In a world that has come to an end, people have been fighting for years. Among them, there were quite a few faces I knew.
〚This is the last time.〛
I saw a world tree in worse condition than when I first saw it. It was really unfamiliar to see Kang Ga-young and Han Ah-reum looking exhausted in front of the withered World Tree.
In particular, Ah-reum Han was no longer a student, but a mature adult.
〚This is a twisted gap in time.〛
This is the reason for my return.
They felt deep regret and longing. Even heavy affection and never light desire.
The calm voice of the world tree.
“… Why are you showing this to me? What do you want me to do?”
The World Tree did not respond. To be honest, I was confused and anxious.
“Thank you? Thanks to you, you are living a better life than before your return, so please forgive me?”
〚It is not forcing. You don’t have to forgive. I want to do anything my baby wants.〛
The voice of the World Tree that sounds like comfort.
If the illusion shown by the World Tree is true, your heart will inevitably weaken.
Still, you suffered so much because of me.
I can’t even tell you to go away. There is inevitably going to be regret.
“Obviously, what he did to me before returning was wrong.”
They tried to control me endlessly, and they buried me socially.
“I don’t belong to anyone.”
〚Then you know everything. I understand her heart.〛
“How hard it was for me. I have never been so insulted in my life.”
〚You have suffered a lot. Don’t worry, that won’t happen in the future.〛
“Still, I can’t hate you.”
With my emotions cleared, I slowly looked at the world tree. The warm energy of the world tree embraced my body.
“I’m sorry. I was just arguing for nothing.”
[no. Rather, thank you for relying on me. But now there’s not much time left. Everyone is waiting for a baby.〛
I nodded slowly. But before that.
“Wait. To stop the apocalypse, then what should I do?”
〚 Sweetheart, are you just going to do what you’ve done so far? 〛
vision is blurred again. It felt instinctive to lose consciousness.
〚See you next time.〛
The friendly voice of the World Tree gave the last goodbye
⁕⁕⁕
“Uh, uh.”
It smells like a hospital disinfectant. He tried to pull his lips apart by forcibly moving his mouth, but his fingers trembled first.
The hem of the blanket wrapped around his palm was soft. At that moment, a woman’s voice was heard.
“Seo-Jun, Seo-Jun. Are you awake?”
Yoo Chae-eun’s voice, which seems urgent, buzzes in her head. My head was a little dizzy, but I managed to come to my senses and open my eyes.
“… Where are you?”
“This is the Cheonsu group hospital. I’m not very busy.”
A sense of defeat was seen on Yoo Chae-eun’s face, which was bowed down. If it was the hospital of the Cheonsu Group, the best medical institution in Korea, the power of Kang Ga-young would have been applied.
His body was drooping as if cotton were soaked in water. I blinked a few times and slowly tried to get up.
“Seojun, take it slow. Take it slow.”
Surprised, Yoo Chae-eun came to support my body. I took a deep breath and smiled faintly.
“it’s okay.”
He turned his head to look inside the hospital room. The single room boasting a spacious space seemed to be proudly shouting that it was a VIP room.
I realized that the current time was dark night due to the scenery seen through the large window. The night view under the moonlight was peeped through the window.
“Have you always been by my side, Chae-eun?”
“… It wasn’t, I took turns.”
The horse was still very tired. I don’t know if I slept properly.
“thanks. Chae-eun.”
I guess I’ll be hospitalized after awakening as a healer.
I looked at the Ringer on my arm. It’s just a nutritional supplement. Because there was no special place where I was sick.
Inside the hospital room, there was a wardrobe, a safe, and extra blankets and pillows. There was even a table including a refrigerator and a recliner sofa.
It would not have been a big inconvenience since it had a TV and toilet and shower facilities.
“I’ll call someone right away. I said it was accumulated fatigue due to overwork, but just in case you don’t know.”
Yoo Chae-eun stood up from the sofa she was sitting on and said. In the first place, my skills are more certain than doctors.
“no. it’s okay. More than that, Mr. Chaeun.”
I stared blankly as I grabbed her wrist. My face in a patient uniform was reflected in my transparent and clear eyes.
“Can you explain what happened beyond that?”
“You really don’t remember anything? At that time, I was very scared.”
His wet voice trembled. However, after a brief silence, he began to explain as simply and clearly as possible.
After the battle, it is said that the dungeon that appeared in the center of New Seoul, the second-level safety zone, was destroyed. Information and news about the ‘Team Project’ have been reported in various media outlets.
Closing the menacing dungeon, the whole world praised and cheered. It must have been a big issue not only about the introduction of the hunter belonging to the team project, but also about his behavior and habits.
“The problem is that Seo-jun fell asleep right there on the spot.”
It is said to have been a riot. However, the Hunter Association was reluctant to disclose this fact. It is impossible to inform the public or overseas about the health status of a Hunter with important abilities.
“So, I had no choice but to come to Cheonsu, which is the most secure and has excellent medical technology.”
Of course, the test results showed no abnormalities. However, Yoo Chae-eun said that those few days were very scary.
“I slept for a few days. I’m really afraid that Seo-joon won’t be able to wake up in the future.”
“… I’m sorry for worrying you.”
“no. I was so outraged. Just thank you for waking up. Seo-Jun.”
Yoo Chae-eun’s white hands wrapped around mine. A warm feeling is transmitted. Your hands are so warm.
“Mr. Chae-eun.”
“yes? why. Where do you not like it? I’ll call the doctor right now.”
“no. no. Hey, can I watch TV?”
He smiles at my question. Like what are you asking?
“sure. You don’t have to ask for permission. Are you out of your mind right now?”
Well, I slept so long.
I grabbed the remote control that Yoo Chae-eun gave me and immediately turned on the news. A video of the hunters interviewing Chae-eun Yoo and Ye-na Jeong was played.
“It will be difficult to walk around the streets recklessly now.”
In fact, it was like a popular celebrity. In the first place, Hunter itself is a similar celebrity. I’ll have to make an autograph while I’m in the hospital.
“That was the way it was. I’d be hungry. Seojun, what do you want to eat? There are still a few companies that deliver.”
If you order delivery at this time, you won’t have much choice. Then what?
Yoo Chae-eun handed me one of the piled-up drink sets. There are quite a few visitation gifts, but that amount is difficult to deal with.
“… Just do something.”
