3 – I hoped for a good life without me…
My colleagues who left a last word and gave a strict order that they should never follow me.
Although I had no choice but to leave everything and leave because there were people waiting for me, they weren’t.
As much as they had done all they could to calm the world, they now wanted to enjoy everything they had in their hands and live happily ever after.
But… Nonetheless they decided to follow me.
Giving up everything they could enjoy in the world they grew up in.
With only one thought of wanting to be by one person’s side.
And at this moment,
I… I was in the middle of saying something harsh while looking at my colleagues who are so stupidly loyal.
“I am. I don’t want to listen to Mawang-nim’s words like this.. This is what you decided, Niyale, right? It’s obvious even if you don’t look.”
“Yes… It is. Mr. Aztas.”
An existence that is apologizing right in front of my eyes as the party’s representative.
A demon with black hair, eyes tied with black strings like a blind man, and huge demon wings hanging from his back.
But apart from this physical appearance, she was wearing a black nun’s attire, and her face was so white and beautiful that it literally made you feel like a saint.
The second-in-command of the demon forces I led, and a being called the Lord of Chaos

At this moment, she said to me, bowing her head towards me as a sign of apology, but still remaining calm in this obviously confusing situation.
“I am really sorry for disobeying Aztas-sama’s order. Girl Nyale, I’ll gladly accept any punishment… But please don’t just abandon us.”
“Haa..”
Even in the midst of apologizing, Nyale still shows strong determination that she has no intention of leaving my side.
Regarding this, I let out a deep sigh and slowly shook my head with feelings that I couldn’t help it.
‘What can I do… No matter what I do, in the end this division happened because of me…’
Although they came here because of their will, the main reason was me.
In the first place, I was their colleague, and at the same time, I was in the position of owner and monarch.
In addition, as the flame of the sword said, they were in a situation where they could not go back anyway, so I needed to take responsibility for this anyway.
“There is nothing we can do about it. I will punish you later for disobeying orders, but for now, do as you please.”
“A.. Thank you, Monk Aztas!”
Nyale and her other colleagues express a deep sense of relief at my words.
Seeing them like this, apart from feeling sorry for them, I started to feel a deeper sense of relief than they did.
‘Honestly, I was very sad too.. Breaking up with these guys.’
After all, they lived there for 20 years and shared the joys and sorrows together.
Even if not as much as the one and only younger brother, it is safe to say that they are close to each other at the level of a decent family.
I couldn’t express it like that, but feeling a sense of joy inside, I stretched out my hand and created a magic circle in the air, then slowly began to move the dormant magic within my body.
After receiving the protection of the black flame 20 years ago, now I can literally use magic as if I were breathing.
Although the magic density of this world was less than half of the original world, there was no big problem in using magic right away.
“For now, let’s get out of here. It will be annoying if you stand out in the eyes of other people in this state.”
“Yes, I understand, Mr. Aztas.”
They got up right after I gave my order.
After seeing that, I smiled lightly, and cast a spell in front of nothing.
“”
A magic that creates a new space by twisting the space of another dimension.
It was one of the magics I learned the hardest while I was in the other world, as I could create a living space with just a few gestures once I mastered it.
‘Because it was magic that could solve modern people’s real estate problems at once… I really never imagined that it would be used in this way.’
Although Wonchae was a remote place late at night, there were no signs of people.
However, the appearances of these people, including myself.. Their fantasy-like outfits and horns or wings would immediately catch people’s attention as soon as they left the park.
There will be a lot of things to do in the future, but it’s best to avoid attracting aggro like this.
With that thought in mind, I opened the door to the new space I created and entered it…
Then the other colleagues followed me inside as well.
After a while, the door to the dimension closes neatly right after all the remaining people have entered.
The place, which had been crowded with dozens of demons just a few seconds ago, went back to a quiet place as usual.

From noble mtl dot com.
Right after I finished a brief summary of the situation in this space I created.
I came back to my house after 20 years.
A narrow, one-room apartment with a living room that is not even clearly separated from the kitchen.
There, I was alone looking back at the issues I needed to check.
‘The date is roughly two days after I disappeared… Well, this is definitely Sam who kept his promise well enough. My cell phone and other belongings are well placed on the desk.’
With that thought in mind, I checked my reflection in the mirror to make sure there were no awkward spots.
What was contained in it was 20 years ago,
I look exactly the same as I did right before I passed on to the other world.
This was my image as Seon Woo-jin.
Originally, I was the one who became a demon by receiving the protection of the sword flame while passing to the other world.
As such, my appearance as Aztas was different from the basic appearance, and like a demon, I had a huge horn on my forehead and a pair of large wings on my back.
However, such post-human characteristics were only a very useless factor now that humans have returned to the modern age.
It was fortunate to be considered an eccentric person who went around cosplaying,
If you don’t do it, you could be treated as a demon and be exterminated by the hunters
Crucially, I did not come to this world as Aztas, the Demon Emperor, but as Seon Woo-jin, Seon Woo-yoon’s older brother, I did not intend to complicate things by revealing my true self.
Fortunately, it wasn’t that difficult for a demon to transform into a human using magic,
In particular, in the case of me, who had risen to the peak of the demons, it was also possible to completely change the appearance itself.
It’s a very simple thing that I’m used to being a human being.
Right after I finished the final inspection, I watched Nyale curiously looking around my house from behind.
Like me, he has a human figure, and is dressed in a suit that I had.
Also, since I couldn’t see her bare eyes due to her circumstances, I had given her her glasses, improvised and imbued with her magical energy.
‘By the way… Anyway, it’s adult men’s clothes, but that’s right..’
Although the size was a little small, surprisingly, I did not feel much awkwardness in her outfit.
The reason was nothing else, it was because her chest and pelvis were not normal enough to cover her narrow shoulders and waist compared to her clothes.
Looking at her like this, I put aside the strange feeling that creeped up on me for now and said to Nyale.
“Then let’s go. Did you understand what I was talking about? As I said before, until I give you an order, don’t step forward no matter what happens along the way.”
“Yes, I will keep that in mind, Mr. Aztas.”
Nyale answers my words with a determined voice.
Seeing her like a person who is on the verge of going to the battlefield, I smiled a little bitterly and started to go outside.
Now that I have returned to modern times, the first things I need to do are two things.
One is to resign neatly from that damn job.
And the other most important thing… Was meeting my younger brother who was lying in the hospital at this moment as well.
‘I can achieve this now.. Finally.. Finally, with my own hands..’
