120. Return
“Hey, look over there… .”
“Wow… john… .”
I feel the gaze.
“Hey, can you give me your number… .”
“Aren’t you thinking of becoming a celebrity?”
“As a guest on our show for a moment… .”
People who usually don’t care much about what other people are doing show a strangely large amount of interest.
Rejecting all the offers, he goes into a nearby cafe and sits down. I can feel the eyes of the people in the cafe turning toward me for a moment.
“Uh, what would you like to drink?”
“Java Chip Frappuccino, with chocolate added.”
“Hey, you speak Korean well.”
I ordered a high-calorie dessert that could not be dreamed of in another world, and I went back to my seat and waited for the drink to come out.
While waiting, I turned on the internet and researched the game. To be precise, about Project Luna, which I had been working on for a while.
‘Dongmanggem really, there is no wiki.’
There was no information at all. Even if it’s a sh*t game that doesn’t even make it to the top 100 rankings, there’s bound to be a fan cafe, and active information sharing continued there.
So, the information needed to attack the game.
What characters were chosen for how much, what summons to use somewhere, and the story was pushed with only one-star pets, all of which were useless to me.
‘Did you catch the Demon King with only one-star summons?’
Even though the article seemed useful, if you check the contents, it was cleared in a way that infinitely recovers the HP of a 1-star summoned animal through Hyeonjil.
How difficult is it to catch the Demon King if you can do it? If only Hyeonjil had been able to do so, he would have advanced to the front of the Demon King’s Castle and finished the game by bombarding the summoned beasts.
Failure to do so was an excessively large penalty. Even in reality, since it is an event or an apology stone, it is a soul stone to sprinkle when bored, but in this world, a common event did not occur.
‘The attendance check event has been completed for a month, so I don’t do it after that.’
There were only a couple of things that were very disappointing. As I sat down on the chair and sighed, the staff brought me a drink.
“Drinks are here.”
“… Can you bring it to me?”
“yes? Yes. service.”
Saying so, the staff left the drink and quickly disappeared. I lifted the drink glass and only then did I understand why the employee brought the drink himself.
Beneath the drink was a receipt with something written on it. A list of 11-digit numbers, probably the phone number of a part-timer.
‘This guy’s face… It’s really good.’
Upon closer inspection, the drink was also one size larger than the one I ordered. The handsome men must have received such services as if they were breathing?
When I think about it that way, I start to feel a little feverish. Especially the fact that I can only feel this happiness for one more week.
‘Oh, sweet.’
However, that anger is washed away at the same time as the sweet drink that can be called the crystallization of modern science is turned on.
sweet and sweet The very existence of this drink was a foul. It’s probably high in calories like a bomb.
As those high calories and high sugars cover your body, you can hear the sound of your head spinning.
‘Yeah, it’s been a week, so why don’t I try it myself?’
I immediately launched the game and went into my account. Before falling to another world, thanks to the use of almost all of his wealth, the soul stones and summons in the account overflowed without being plentiful.
I, who formed a party with the most powerful summons, Story 1-1. Started again from the tutorial.
[Today is the day I enter Canopus Academy… … .]
SKIP.
“oh.”
I pressed Skip without knowing the boring text, and I sighed and started over from the beginning. It was something I knew, but I could have missed something, so I couldn’t skip it all.
Well, the secrets of the world to return to in a week were all contained in this small smartphone.
I’ll have to dig it all out and go back.
‘But this game is really sh*tty fun. How did you do this… .’
Scanning the boring text, I continued to drink. At least Hani was able to survive while eating sweets.
* * *
Southern.
It was the place where the Duke of Iritz was located, and it was a warm place 365 days a year.
Noah and Stella, who came to the south on the back of the daebung, continued to fly in the sky, starting to search for a place where Suzaku could be found.
“Is there really such a thing here?”
“yes! Ian did it There is a shujak in the South!”
“… I mean he did.”
Ian’s words were always unbelievably vain words, but he himself made those vain words a reality.
Thanks to this, the children had no choice but to believe whatever Ian said. Even if he lied.
I didn’t know until the end whether that was true or a lie, so I had no choice but to believe it whether I liked it or not.
“There are five-star summons in this land… .”
Stella stood up on the roof and looked down at the south. The sight of the vast southern part, including the city where she lived, must be a landscape that you cannot easily see even if you pay millions of dollars.
In fact, Stella, the daughter of the Duke, was also the first to see this scene, so there are probably not many things that can capture this scene.
“… But, how do I find it here?”
And at the same time, the vast expanse of land became poisonous in its search for something. Stella, who has lived all her life on this land, could not dare to guess where the five-star summoned creature was hiding.
“The white tiger I saw before was hiding in the mountains.”
“… In the mountains?”
“yes. I was hiding in the Baekho Mountains.”
“Then it looks like the size of the summons is smaller than I thought. He was hiding in the mountains.”
“no? Was it too big? It was a really distracting size.”
Stella tilted her head at the contradictory words. He said he was hiding in the mountains, and it was just the size of a distraction?
“What are you talking about? You said you were hiding in the mountains?”
“yes! In the mountains!”
At this time, Stella realized that there was a huge difference in perception between herself and Noah.
The ‘in the mountains’ he was talking about was the top of the ridge he was talking about. A hill planted with millions of trees, where wild beasts roam.
But what Noah was talking about in the mountains is literally. It meant hundreds of millions of tons of dirt.
When Stella realized that, she could not help but be astonished.
‘No, even if it’s a 5-star summoned beast… Is that possible?’
Regardless of whether or not it is possible, if other shinigami are really hiding under mountains or continents like that, how are they supposed to find them?
Fortunately, Noah knew how.
“So, it was Ian. The reason why the South is warm is probably because of the jujak.”
“… okay?”
“That’s what came to my mind, isn’t the warmest place in the South the place where Zhujak is located?”
Noah’s words were plausible. What if the reason why the southern part is warm 365 days a year is not because of the subtropical region where the proper angle of the continent and the angle of the sun are exquisitely matched, but because of Zhujak?
If so, Suzaku would be emitting heat from the ground for 24 hours a day, and if we found the source of the heat, we could find the place where Suzaku was.
It’s a theoretical story, but it was worth exploring.
“Ifrit. Did you hear me?”
-Yeah, I’ll look for it.
Stella summons Ifrit and asks her to find the hottest place in the South.
Ifrit closed her eyes and concentrated on her energy, she soon found the warmest place in the South.
It was a small lake on the mountain in the south.
—I think this used to be a volcano in the past.
Ifrit said so and said that this mountain contains the hottest energy.
I found the place Noah was talking about. If so, now it was the turn to wake up the shujak inside. how? Again, Noah was helped by Stella.
“… Stella, just give me one shot of original arts here.”
“What? It’s a volcano! But if it erupts… .”
“I beg you, this is the only way I can wake up Ian.”
At the request that raised Ian, Stella looked at Ifrit with a sigh. Ifrit said that she would try to control it, and put up flames in her hands.
─… really do? really? huh?
“sun. I will take responsibility.”
If the volcano actually erupted, there was no way to take responsibility, but Noah asked confidently.
Seeing that dignified figure, Ifrit knew that this shouldn’t be the case, but fired her special move into the lake.
An ion plasma of sun-like heat penetrates the lake and enters it.
Cuckoo Cuckoo… … .
-Uh, uh- It looks like it’s going to explode?
“What!? Hey Noah! Run away quickly!”
“it’s okay.”
Even when Ifrit and Stella tried to run away with fuss, Noah stood casually and waited for the summons in the lake to wake up.
The next moment, quaa-! A large phoenix flew through the lake.
[Did you call me?]
Suzaku with huge wings. While Stella and Ifrit, who had no idea that Suzaku would actually appear, were still out, Noah naturally spoke to Suzaku.
“Yes that’s right. lord lord I have a request.”
[Hey, ask me.]
Cheeky or anything, the master didn’t say anything like that. Noah could have guessed to some extent as to why the main character appeared so much.
‘Ian… You were right.’
Ian said, “I have a constitution that is loved by the world.” So, she said that any summoned beast would be her strength.
That was true. If so, I had only one request.
“Please be my summons.”
* * *
“The time has come.”
“… already?”
After clearing the game several times throughout the week, I got to know the details of the game in detail after the production team, rubbing my red eyes and slowly getting up.
Suddenly, after almost lying down for a week and not moving, I began to hear popping noises all over my body.
As I was stretching like that, the system asked me.
“Is it okay to spend time like this?”
“what?”
“You’re only playing games all week… .』
“Oh, that?”
I grinned and looked at the message the system had popped up. You say anything is possible, but you can’t even read my thoughts.
“Better than this reality. The world is looking forward to it more.”
I realized it after returning to reality. In real life, I’m a little trash, but I’m not the alpha male who is popular in that world.
A noble, handsome, wealthy and powerful male.
Those who returned to Earth with this body had no choice but to feel that they had fallen into another world alone.
“All right. It was a good thing I picked you.”
“Pick it?”
The system did not answer my questions. It was just a (^ㅇ^) same emoticon.
After a while, I passed out in bed. When I opened my eyes again, a familiar ceiling greeted me.
“Ian!”
Noah, Stella, and several other children around me were looking down at me.
