Homecoming (3)
Chris, who was hovering around the Guro Digital Complex, tried to focus on his mission during his vacation.
Even if the difficulty wasn’t high, it was an important job, so I didn’t want to make a mistake.
Illesis, who couldn’t see it, grabbed Chris and said as if to admonish him.
“What are you so worried about? You even looked at emergency escape routes before. What else can I prepare here?”
“is it? After all, would this be enough?”
“okay. I came on an expensive vacation after a long time, so please enjoy it more fully. You never know when you can come back when this is over.”
When Chris heard her words, he regretted deeply.
She wouldn’t be able to fully enjoy herself if she, as a tour guide, came out like this.
Feeling a bit lighter, he started a full-fledged vacation with Illesis.
Fortunately, there were plenty of things for the two of them to enjoy.

Movies and music, shopping and food, and more. Illesis was constantly dragging Chris around to learn about Earth.
Thanks to her, the burden on my heart was relieved a little, and time passed quickly.
It’s probably the most expensive vacation in the world out there.
Until I came here, I thought that a week was too long, but after experiencing it myself, it is not enough.
The two of them, who had been playing without a break from the evening of the second day to the fourth day, shut themselves in the dorm to adjust their condition on the fifth day.
There is an important operation the next day, so don’t overdo it.
Elesis, who learned how to use a smartphone from Chris, drools while searching for various tourist spots.
“Um… I would love to visit a place like this next time. You haven’t been able to go out of Seoul this time because you don’t have much time.”
“yes. Even if it’s another city, if you go back and forth, the whole day will be blown away… Let’s go there next time.”
The opportunity won’t be very common, but with the gold king’s support, there will be a day when you can return to Earth again.
Elesis, who was rolling around in the room, suddenly let out a deep sigh.
“I can see why you wanted to come back this way. It is much more peaceful and comfortable here than in our world.”
“That’s right, because I don’t work and spend money playing Tangja Tangja. This world isn’t quite perfect either.”
When I reprimand Illesis for her complaint, her expression brightens.
“Is that so? good. Then let’s finish it off tomorrow and go back in a good mood.”
Chris blew on the air conditioner, stared at the TV, and nodded.
Even if he went back to the other world, it would be difficult to forget this luxury.
After a full day of rest, the two of them headed to the building where Epictail Games was located at sunset the next day.
In addition to Epictail Games, many other companies were located in the building, which boasted a great size and height.
Illesis, who chose an unoccupied elevator and boarded it, expressed her honest feelings.
“I saw it during the preliminary exploration, but it is really big. It’s like a combination of about three other malls.”
“Actually, this is the first time I have been to a place like this. Are you ready?”
“In this world, magic recovery is a bit slow, but there is no problem.”
Illesis gave a big nod of her head and expressed her confidence.
Soon after, the two arrived on the floor where Epictail Games moved in and put mental pressure on the employee who was just preparing to leave.
The lights were off in some parts of the spacious interior space, and unlike Hell-Joseon, it seemed to encourage people to leave work on a regular basis.
Seeing that, Chris muttered self-deprecatingly.
“How come the working conditions are better for the puppets of the bust than the ordinary office workers?”
“I have to rest early so I can come out early the next day to work… … .”
Tears nearly spilled from Chris’ eyes as the mentally suppressed employee spoke in a hazy voice.
Illesis, who looked at it strangely, asked a new question.
“Has everyone else left work?”
“That’s right. I got off work a little late due to server maintenance work… … .”
“Are you getting the overtime pay right?”
“Of course.”
Illesis glared at Chris as he kept wasting time asking useless questions.
After admiring that it was his dream job, he finally gets to the point.
“If you are a server admin, you are exactly what we need. Lucky for some reason.”
“Then shall we go to the server room right now and destroy everything?”
Chris shakes his head when Illesis makes a pretty radical opinion.
“You don’t have to do that. Because if you break it down, things could get bigger… Let’s not do that and blow away all the users’ data.”
Chris was thinking of formatting the user data of Arios Online.
Even if the server is destroyed, it can be restored again, but if the data of the players are lost, the game will be abandoned without anyone.
There are already hundreds of players summoned to the other world.
There must be few users left, but if an incident like this happens, there will be only a handful of people left.
Of course, there was a possibility that the evil spirit would even manipulate the minds of the players, but the two couldn’t stop it anyway.
Even if he did that in any case, what would be summoned from now on was not the normal players, but the puppets. Moreover, since he wasn’t even at the highest level, there was no need to worry.
With insider help, Chris achieved his goal with great ease.
Among the data deleted by the employee was his, but it wasn’t particularly wasteful.
‘I don’t know about other games, but I don’t think I’ll touch Arios Online again.’
After closing his eyes for a moment to commemorate his character, he added an additional incantation.
“Then, destroy other data beyond recovery by tomorrow morning. For us, the bigger the damage to Epictail Games, the better… … .”
“I will.”
The staff under the control of Illesis nodded happily and started a new task.
Chris, who took out his smartphone, found that communities related to Arios Online were already infested.
Anyway, since all the users’ data evaporated in an instant, it was obvious that the effect would appear on the live server.
The cell phone of the employee who committed the crime is ringing non-stop, but he does not even pay attention to it.
“The response is too fast for the rush hour? Everyone seems to be very passionate about their work.”
“chris! You better escape before people find out.”
Chris accepted Illesis’ offer and quickly took the elevator down.
Not long after they leave the building, people who appear to be employees of Epictail Games jump in one by one.
The two of them looked at it happily and had a conversation they were used to.
“What shall I buy today? It’s our last day here, so shouldn’t we eat something grand?”
“I want to eat ice cream. And before we go, let’s have another burger.”
The operation was successful.
Thanks to the efforts of the two, Arios Online and Epictail Games suffered irreparable wounds.
All that remains now is to wait for Elgar’s summoning spell, which is scheduled to be activated tomorrow.
The two of them went to a mart near the accommodation and returned to their room with a bunch of food they liked.
After checking the cash in his wallet, Chris folded the credit card he had received from the clothing store owner in half and destroyed it.
For the rest of the time, the cash I had seemed sufficient.
Elesis, who was satisfied with her stomach, lay on the bed and looked at Chris.
The moment Chris is about to react to her gaze, a soft light suddenly begins to cover his body.
He gets up from his seat, startled by the sight that gives him a distinct sense of deja vu.
“Cow, a summoning spell? There should still be some time left until the appointment time… … .”
“for a moment! Why can’t I be summoned? You decided to summon both of us together!”
Illesis, who was examining herself, said in a puzzled voice.
Unlike Chris, who was being summoned to the other world even at this moment, she showed no signs of abnormality.
Chris gritted his teeth when he realized that an accident had occurred.
“Geumwang’s son… Didn’t do the job right. Illesis, don’t panic and go home. I will return to Vector on my own, so you protect the territory in the meantime.”
“Oh, no! Where are you going alone! this profit… … .”
Illesis, who was crying, tried to interfere with the spell belatedly, but the summoning spell for Chris had already entered the completion stage.
If I forcefully manipulate the spell now, Chris’s body may disintegrate into pieces.
In the end, Illesis muttered lowly with very angry eyes.
“How dare you trap Chris! i will kill I will definitely make you regret being born!”
“Don’t act hastily. Until I go back, don’t punish the gold king. got it?”
After trusting Illesis, Chris was completely consumed by the dazzling brilliance.

Moments later, Chris, whose heavy eyelids were removed, arrived in a space he had never seen before.
While he was summoned, he looked around with great disappointment, expecting something from Elgar.
In the dark basement, there is a wizard who seems to be his summoner, a nobleman with an unusual outfit, and a servant.
Since he wasn’t summoned to a place like the open sea or the middle of a volcano, it didn’t seem like a trap.
Chris, who had been kneeling, quickly got up, and the wizard, the caster of the summoning spell, stepped back and cheered.
“Success, Princess! This is the player the princess wanted.”
“I’m glad. Thank you very much for your hard work.”
Chris saw the women genuinely delighted and asked ferociously.
“Where are you and who are you?”
“Gee, please calm down, Player. It’s the first time you’ve experienced anything like this, so you’re probably very embarrassed, but we can explain it to you… … .”
Chris frowned at the woman’s obvious words.
As she said, it was very embarrassing, but right now it was more annoying than that.
He finds a stairway leading upwards in the dark and steps towards it without a word.
“Ah, ah! Where are you going? Please listen to our story… … .”
“Move!”
Chris leaves the basement after lightly pushing away the wizard who is blocking him.
He, who was summoned out of nowhere, had no need to know what the girls were doing.
It doesn’t seem like you’ve been summoned to a new dimension, so you just need to locate yourself and return to Vector.
However, after coming out under the sunlight, he had no choice but to stop walking with a devastated expression on his face.
The scenery outside the dark, damp cellar was completely different from what he had known.
There were a lot of people moving around in the large yard, most of them Asians similar to Chris.
A little farther away is a tiled roof, a Chinese-style building made of rice straw.
The simple stone wall cools down Chris’ spine.
“Hey, where the hell is this place?”
Chris had traveled to various places in his own way, but he couldn’t even come up with a suitable name for this place.
Beyond being simply exotic, the gap is so wide that one wonders if the worldview is completely different.
A woman who came running after him, straightened the fluttering hem of his dress.
I didn’t quite recognize her when she was in the dark cellar, but she was dressed in very fine silk.
His hair was upturned and he wore expensive jewelry.
Like the others, he has an oriental appearance, but his face is very white and neat.
The people who witnessed her rushing out of the basement stopped moving with bewildered expressions.
“That person… … .”
“It is the clothes of the imperial family! Everyone set an example!”
“Ah, lowly subjects dare to meet the royal family!”
People who noticed her identity belatedly fell to their knees and bowed their heads.
Even Chris, the owner of Vector, is not treated like this by the locals.
While he froze at the unexpected scene, the woman called the princess made a request in an earnest voice.
“There are a lot of people’s eyes here. Come downstairs and finish the unfinished story.”
“You asked where the hell is this place?”
When Chris showed no signs of moving, she had no choice but to begin an explanation.
“I don’t know if you’ll understand what I’m saying… This is a different world from where you are.”
“No, I know that, so please tell me in more detail… What kind of country is this?”
The woman was embarrassed by Chris’ answer, but replied with pride.
“This is the Qin Empire, which boasts a thousand years of history. People in the far west sometimes call it the Eastern Empire.”
“what? Is this the Eastern Continent?”
After hearing repeated explanations, Chris, who figured out where he was, murmured in astonishment.
His summoner points to the basement and urges cooperation, even though he can’t hide his doubt.
