#123. Only one person
I haven’t been able to eat properly since Inwook’s remarks.
It was objectively clear that the food was delicious, but that wasn’t the point.
Shihwa Yoo… If Shihwa Yoo has a child first…
It was hard to bear just imagining it.
A child who resembles Inwook and Yoo Shihwa half and half.
A child with dark hair and blue eyes.
Inwook’s child, not mine.
Can you bless the two of them…
“…Are you listening?”
In-wook looked at me with worried eyes, whether he noticed that I wasn’t concentrating on her own story.
“Ah… sorry.”
“Isn’t there really something wrong?”
I didn’t want to bring my ugly feelings out to him.
I was already in an accident once during the midterm evaluation.
I was afraid of being hated, so I couldn’t tell my honest feelings.
“Yes.”
“Your complexion looks very bad. I think it would be better to go home and get some rest.”
Do you know that the more you treat me kindly, the more my insides burn to black?
I’ll probably do this to other kids as well.
Maybe you can do better than you do for me.
“…Inwook-ah.”
“Huh?”
“Shall we stay overnight?”
She put one of the melons for dessert into her mouth and waited for Inwook’s answer.
Clearly, the sugar content is high, so it must be sweet to be normal.
“Staying out? Suddenly?”
“Yes. I don’t want to go home today.”
Of course, it would be a pain in the ass if I got caught by Dad, but now I wanted to pamper Inwook more.
This time, I was just going to ask you to do it without a condom.
I wanted to receive the seed once more without a thin rubber film that blocks the birth of a baby between him and me.
“Sorry. It seems difficult today.”
A brief exclamation came out of my mouth at Inwook’s resolute words.
“Ah… is there anything you need to do?”
“No. It’s not like that, but after I went to Busan, my parents told me to stay home for a while.”
I wondered what it had to do with where the grown-up son was, but from the point of view of In-wook’s parents, he’s just an adult.
Considering that he was eating lunch at high school not long ago, I could understand the position that he still wanted to watch him from inside the fence.
There was also a time when my son was injured and was hospitalized for a while, so he was no longer able to force it.
“That… that’s right.”
“Sorry. I’ll make time for it next time.”
I got up from my seat saying it was okay and I was going to do the calculation.
Of course, I knew that it wasn’t a refusal without any reason, but because of a circumstance, but I still couldn’t feel good.
“I’ll go first.”
I didn’t want to show my gloomy side for nothing.
“Yes. Go in carefully.”
A greeting with regret.
Turning my back, I shuddered to think that there would be another chance.

When I returned home after eating with Harin, I was seriously thinking about how to use the Croptos core.
A dazzling purple jewel.
If you sell it, you can get thousands of gold.
But I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s also more efficient to use this for me.
Even in summer, the early morning is a bit chilly.
After confirming that my parents were sleeping, I arrived at the vacant lot I always visited for training and took out the Croptos core from my arms.
Holding in the other hand is the sword obtained in the first hidden dungeon.
Of course, I thought that I would be able to move even after recovering from Ezion, but I have never used this sword in practice.
I have to say that the timing was bad in many ways.
Still, it would have been easier if I had taken it with me when I was fighting Croptos.
After confirming that there was no one around, I began to focus on my magic.
Aaaaa.
The magical energy that emanates from the heart goes through the circuit and is transmitted over the shoulder to the fingertips.
Kaisen.
When the jet black black I got from the hidden dungeon started injecting magical power, I trembled violently and started eating it.
A sword that tries to crave more magical power than I’ve released.
As expected, it was the right decision to release the sword after acquiring the core.
When I sent the magic power to the core with the other hand, my magic power and the magic power inside the core started to fuse.
The purple glow that comes out and the dark energy that wants to swallow it up.
Kaisen, the sword of greed, absorbed all of my core and my mana as if in anger at the fact that he had been starving for a long time.
Wooooo.
How long has it been?
Kaisen’s sword, which resonated with a strange sound, was dyed red.
It was the time to end the predation.
Of course, it could not have looked like nothing had happened, but now this sword would be able to easily shatter the armor of level 5 monsters.
Because Kaisen’s other name is ‘biting sword’
It was because it could literally tear apart all the shields created with magical power.
With this, I have one more hand that can be used in battle.
The moment I thought I had achieved a satisfactory result.
My eyes began to darken and my mind began to wander.
What… Hey… This is…
* *
In the dark darkness.
I knew this feeling.
[Calm down! Choi In-wook!]
It was not a familiar voice, but an unforgettable voice.
It was clear that it was the spirit of the beginning.
But this time, the environment in which he called me was definitely different from before.
To be precise, the black background was the same, but the elements envisioning the space were different.
[…What.]
[I don’t know. Me too.]
[Here…]
It was three different voices, but all three had very familiar voices.
[I seem to have succeeded in summoning everyone, so please listen to my story from now on.]
The voiceless voice continued the story as if it were an announcement.
[…Who are you? Do you think this revamp will work for me?]
Sihwa, who was the most realistic of the three and found a solution quickly, immediately took a fighting stance.
[Choi Inwook. You explain.]
…Look at this? The spirit of the beginning?
Clearly, when talking to me, he left the difficult part to me on the subject that he talked about like an omnipotent being.
[Sihwa. Calm down for a second.]
[Did you think I’d be embarrassed to show you something like the welcome of these people?]
When she tried to raise her magic power, she wanted to stop it, but it was Jena who calmed her unexpectedly.
[Don’t be noisy, just calm down.]
Sihwa’s magic power subsided again at the sound of her voice as if she had poured cold water on her face.
[What is it? Are you real?]
[I think so?]
Harin replied that she looked around her while turning her head to and fro, wondering if she was in a strange situation.
[If that’s true, Choi In-wook. You. Do you know the owner of this voice?]
I wanted to believe it even if I explained it to you, but there were also the words of the Great Spirit, and I decided that it would be better to speak to quell confusion, so I slowly opened my mouth.
[This is the space of the original spirit.]
[Spirit? Are you talking about that spirit, a being that lends magical power to humans?]
[Yes. That spirit.]
[So why was it called here to know if it is the spirit of the beginning?]
[Please listen carefully.]
When the atmosphere seemed as if all the difficult parts were over, the voice of the original spirit began to resound.
[There is only one child that Inwook Choi can give birth to]
… My ex-wives who heard the spirit’s words showed different reactions.
Harin with wide-eyed eyes.
Poetry with still suspicious eyes.
Jenna with one eyebrow raised.
[Please choose carefully.]
“Heo Eok… Heo Eok… Heo Eok…”
When I opened my eyes, what I saw was not the ceiling, but the blue moon just before I left for work.
When I turned my head, I could see that I was lying on the floor.
Kendo that succeeded in liberation, wallet and cell phone all seemed to be safe.
By the way, that dream…
I got up and dusted off my clothes.
Is it really a call from the spirit of the beginning?
But I couldn’t be sure of the pattern that was quite different from before.
Usually it appeared when I was sleeping, but this time I suddenly lost consciousness.
Is it possible that a crowd came in the process of absorbing the core and releasing the sword?
If the original spirit really summoned us all, and what he said is true…
[There is only one child that Inwook Choi can give birth to]
The sound of a matter that cannot be easily overcome has reached everyone’s ears.
Weeeee
Weeeee
It was 4:30 in the morning, but my phone started ringing like crazy.
Instinctively, I was immediately convinced that what I had seen was not in vain.
