The next day I was able to leave the hospital without any problems.
Perhaps it was because of the measures Baeksan had taken, except for the muscle pain, his body was clean, and there was no reason to stay in the hospital any longer.
It is said that all hospital expenses were paid in advance by the West Lake side.
Is it a small reward for protecting Shiho?
I didn’t do anything special, but it was not polite to say no, so I was graciously favored.
S-class hunter Seolsan Lee Ha Seo-ho wouldn’t be short on money.
When I came home, I felt like I had come back after a very long time.
It was like living on an uninhabited island and living in a hospital for a day.
“Ha, this familiar smell.”
“Now is the time to talk about smell. Not even a pigsty.”
“I didn’t clean it because I was in a hurry when I left.”
I started cleaning Baeksan, which I hated because it was a half-ghost anyway, so I couldn’t reach it.
Because, as he said, there was no separate pig pen.
“More than that, when are you going to start doing that training?”
I looked up at Baeksan while cleaning.
I decided to believe Baeksan’s words for now.
He was invisible to Ayu and others, and the story Baeksan told me was because it fit my situation so well.
As he said, I’m the center of a returnee, so it’s not very real, but if that’s true
‘I have thoughts of dying like that.’
It was right to carry some means of protecting myself.
Then, suddenly, a question came to my mind.
“Baeksan, I have a question for you.”
“What.”
“Did I ever become that strong? I am neither a hunter nor a returnee.”
Of course, I am a normal person.
Ordinary people who will die just by beckoning a returnee.
To be honest, the picture of me training to become strong enough to survive a returnee or a hunter was not drawn to me.
Hearing my question, Baeksan suddenly started to laugh as if he had seen my thoughts, and looked at me and asked.
“Did you forget that the returnees you are talking about are ordinary humans in the first place?”
“It should be.”
“Same. Of course, among the guys involved in the dimensional shift, there must be more dead dead doing nothing.”
Dimensional shifts have been taking place over hundreds of years.
Even now, the dimensional shift phenomenon was appearing in various places to the extent that the country is still trying to distinguish between disappearances caused by dimension shifts and general disappearances.
Of those caught up in such a dimensional shift, fewer than 5% succeeded in returning.
Returnees are always very few.
Therefore, they had no choice but to go through a period of discrimination and neglect.
“It’s actually a miracle that so many returnees come back after falling on an empty land. In fact, there is some influence from the Tower of the Apocalypse.”
“Is there such a thing?”
“I can’t say for sure, but the number of Giyeon is increasing. If you are a returnee, you must have experienced that feeling at least once.”
I’m not a returnee, so I wouldn’t know.
“And you have met him now.”
At the same time, Baeksan gave me a smile with absolute confidence.
“I have been called the strongest among the returnees, so won’t you become stronger and exhausted?”
“Oh oh.”
“If you want to admire, put your emotions into it.”
“Oh oh!”
When I clapped his hands to match him, he tilted his head upwards and smiled wildly, then lowered his head.
“Fun things are up to this point, and there are things that make you stronger, but as you said yesterday.”
“Yeah, because I want to find my sister.”
A prophecy distorted by the Tower of the Apocalypse.
I don’t know what the distorted prophecy was, but it was clear that the look on my sister’s face as she left me was because of me.
Then I wanted to find it.
All prophecies are wrong.
it’s okay to come back
And I’m glad you’re back.
I wanted to tell my sister.
Because that’s why I started studying returnees.
“I was just curious. Even if I practiced, I couldn’t imagine that I would become stronger.”
“Hmm, you don’t seem to know.”
As I clenched and opened my fists, Baeksan touched my chin and told me one thing.
“By the way, your body will be stronger than you think right now.”
“yes?”
What kind of nonsense is that.
As I was looking up at Baeksan with an expression that I did not understand, he came down from the air in front of me.
“When I entered your body, I burned as much of the wall as I could. If you know how to handle an auror, you can crush almost anything with firepower right away.”
“Ugh.”
I knew through him that Baeksan came into my body and saved me.
But I bet you would have done something like that.
At the same time, I understood why my eyes suddenly became visible when I was wearing glasses.
“What if I just treat my body without the owner’s permission? It’s s*xual harassment.”
“You bullshit, otherwise you’re dead. men and horses.”
I almost died, I understand, but I looked down at my hand with a curious expression.
You just have to deal with Aurors.
… … So how do you do that?
I can’t figure it out at all, but I decided to leave this part to Baeksan.
After all, I have no choice but to trust him completely.
“I said training, but I don’t mean to disrupt your daily life. There are four years left until you turn 30, and at that time, you will be able to develop enough strength to get out of the crisis of death. Rather, I want you to keep your routine.”
“Then you say you can play games and leave the company?”
“Yeah, I don’t want the future to change too much either. It’s better to keep what you can keep.”
Well, if he wanted to save the merits of being a regressor, he was right.
“I’ll give you some time to sleep instead.”
“That’s something I can’t keep up with in my daily life.”
“don’t worry. It will give you a body that will not have to sleep for a week.”
What kind of weapon are you trying to turn people into?
“Anyway, your daily life won’t change much. All I want from you is to be strong enough to not die. Don’t worry, I won’t tell you to stop destruction. That’s what I in this world will do for you.”
He had a sad expression on his face, as if he didn’t want that in the first place.
I also agreed with that.

No matter how many returnees I have, what kind of talent can I have to prevent the destruction that even the flying and crawling returnees can’t stop?Then, as Baeksan said, it was right to focus only on surviving.
That’s why I don’t want Baeksan to change too many futures because of my intervention.
“That’s good. Then let’s do this and do some training or something.”
I was relieved because it was a caring mountain, and I sat in front of a VR game machine after a long time.
Today, I was due to take a break from work due to an accident, so the intention was to take care of some things that had to be done in the game.
Meanwhile, I suddenly wondered what would happen to Baeksan when I entered the game.
Will you follow me to the game?
Or do you just want to watch me play the game?
Unexpectedly living with a regressor, I decided to connect to the Lord of Academy to answer the question.
“Wait a minute.”
Then, suddenly, Baeksan spoke to me.
Maybe it’s the intention to start training instead of playing games.
The moment the regressor was about to grumble about this and that, I saw Baeksan’s expression and stopped.
Because he was staring intently at my game console, not me.
“… … Hmmm.”
“What, why?”
“No, it’s an illusion.”
He had a slightly embarrassed expression on his face, but he turned his gaze away as if it had been done.
“Do it.”
He sat down on my bed with a disinterested look and waved his hands to come and go.
What are you planning to do when I’m in?
I don’t know what it is, but I decided to log into the game first.
You must complete the weekly and daily quests.

While Ha-chan was accessing the game, Baek-san was looking at the VR game machine with a thoughtful expression.
The moment Ha-chan reached out to access the game, he saw something.
Because it was still stuck in my mind.
‘Then why did so many returnees flock to this guy?’
Even Baeksan knows his personality well.
Before returning, he was also entangled with Ha-chan, and he saw many returnees who helped him.
Even the returnees that come to mind are not one or two.
It was only later that the returnee was calling the returnee.
‘Yeah, it was definitely a game that this guy started getting involved with the returnee.’
Baeksan frowned when he remembered Chunma complaining that it was good to play games together next to Hachan.
The starting point of meeting Ha-chan is two years later, when he turns 28.
At that time, Ha-chan was no longer playing and was active as a member of the Returnees Association.
and a year later.
Kang Ha-chan saved himself and died instead.
“Baeksan, why are you crying? men and horses. I’m fine.”
close-
The clenched teeth squealed.
Baeksan, who remembered a long time ago, slowly wiped his face with his hand.
It has now disappeared.
let’s not recall
Because he had come to him to repay it.
This child’s unconditional act of salvation was close to insanity.
‘And it got worse than I knew.’
And Baeksan knows that he has provided the reason.
Because the trauma he had instilled in him as a child has been replaced by his older sister.
‘If it had been the way it was.’
It must have been that guy who provided the trauma with the goal of salvation for the rest of his life.
This time it wasn’t.
From that point on, a lot of things must have changed.
‘It’s rotten, what if it gets worse there?’
Again, his salvation is madness.
Obsessive madness created by trauma.
It is said to be a savior who throws away life and body.
Baeksan turned his attention to the game machine, thinking that he did not know how much trouble he would get in the future.
Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Now, the question he had for the returnees he met through the game was first.‘Clearly there is some interference here as well.’
Something that even a regressor cannot understand.
Recalling the vague memory of looking at the crumbling world, he shifted his gaze to the outside of the window.
A number of returnees and hunters are strangely accumulated to Ha-chan Kang.
Was it really a coincidence?
If so, where, who, and for what reason did he do this to him?
I do not know.
The rotten world was destroyed before he even knew it, and Kang Ha-chan died in his place.
The world was so destroyed that no answer could be found.
However, just like the day it was destroyed, the tower of the apocalypse was guarding its place today.
