Chapter 704 – Return (Part 2 Begins)
Seongki Kang.
The strongest man in the world who surpasses S-class.
I maintained the balance by going back and forth between the two worlds.
It wasn’t that hard.
Because I wasn’t the only one doing it.
I had hundreds of helpers.
They were all 100% devoted and loyal to me.
It was no exaggeration to say that the world, or two huge worlds, were maintained because of me.
I was comfortable and happy.
It was difficult for me to estimate how long my lifespan would be.
Maybe I can live another thousand years, maybe ten thousand years.
As I spent each day like that, I suddenly felt that I missed the past.
The people I loved, the women, were still by my side.
However, after defeating Bloha, who had tried to destroy this world, and after making all the dungeon guardians in the other side kneel at their feet, it seemed like a huge gap had opened between them and me.
I had great interest and love for each of my women.
However, it was physically impossible to express love to all of them individually.
Even if I made love to one person a day, it took 2 to 3 years for the cycle to come back.
Is that all?
Even at this moment, the number of women who were influenced by my abilities and fell in love with me was increasing.
Days that are so perfect that it feels like something is wrong.
‘I miss you.’
The day I first met Seulbi Kim.
It all started with her meeting.
‘A crush for no reason’.
That ability, which had no beginning or end but was only in name, finally blossomed when she met Seulbi Kim.
After that, I was able to form relationships with numerous women.
‘If I could go back to that time…’
I felt like I could feel all the emotions again if I went back to those fresh times.
I felt like I could feel alive again.
‘Please…’
I fell asleep with that thought in mind.
…
#
Tidididit!-
Tidididit!-
“Gasp!”
When I heard the alarm ringing at her bedside, I woke up in surprise.
At the same time, I was caught in a dazed feeling.
That’s because the place I was in felt very unfamiliar.
I looked around the narrow room.
‘Is it a dream…?’
I thought about it before I fell asleep.
I wish I could go back to the past.
So I wish I could start everything again from scratch.
It wasn’t because I regretted it, but because I was bored with the perfect days.
So I was able to have a dream like this.
What I hoped for is now appearing as reality.
Just like reality…
“Huh?”
I felt something out of place.
It was also a natural awareness that I felt as a hunter.
‘Mana…’
“Nothing?”
Hunters are hunters because they have mana.
It was like blood flowing through your veins or oxygen you unconsciously inhaled, so you could tell right away when it was gone.
I had no mana right now.
She had so much mana that she couldn’t control it.
The endless mana that allowed her to easily take on all the powerful forces of both worlds has disappeared.
I got off the bed feeling dazed.
The cell phone on the desk caught my eye.
It was a cell phone that I used a long time ago, even before I became a hunter.
When I turned on the screen, I saw the date.
‘Is it true…?’
I was back in the past several years ago.
Literally the beginning of everything.
10 years before I met Seulbi Kim.
So on this day…
‘The day I was first diagnosed with awakening!’
To be precise, it was the next day.
The day after I was judged to have awakened as a hunter and learned that I had the ability to ‘like without reason’.
I was in a bad mood and drank a lot of unfamiliar alcohol with my friends.
‘I didn’t even go to college.’
I didn’t even go to the university I had already been accepted to.
I was going to live as a hunter, so why was I wasting my time there?
‘You idiot.’
It’s been 10 years since then.
I wasted 10 years before Seulbi Kim came to my house and realized her abilities.
At first, I had expectations about the ability that would soon be revealed, but gradually my feelings faded, and I didn’t know what to do in life with no future in sight.
Getting a job at the dungeon management office was something in the distant future at this point.
‘I can’t believe I’m back at this point.’
I thought it would be nice to start all over again, but I thought it might be too early.
‘Before I met Seulbi Kim…’
To be more precise, her younger cousin Kim Eunbi reacted to me first.
It was difficult to determine which of the two was exposed to ‘unreasonable liking’ first.
Kim Eun-bi ended up doing the same thing, but it was Kim Seul-bi who reacted more violently and acted first.
I searched it on my cell phone just in case.
‘As expected…’
When I searched for Seulbi Kim, another person was found.
If she had awakened to her S-class hunter status, it was only natural that she would be at the top of her search results.
‘Probably a minor now.’
Since I was 20 years old, it was natural that she, who was a few years younger than me, was a minor.
It was a few years later that she became an S-class hunter.
She had been making a living as a supporting actress, but with her awakening, she hit the jackpot.
After that, she became a national idol.
‘It’s too much…’
If Kim Seul-bi is a minor, then there is nothing to say about Kim Eun-bi.
Once I met them, I couldn’t put my plan into action to reveal my abilities.
‘A few more years like this…’
“It doesn’t make sense.”
It was a foregone conclusion that the ability to ‘like someone without a reason’ would one day be revealed, so it wasn’t something to worry about.
But until then, I felt frustrated at having to live a normal life and not being able to meet the many women I loved again.
At that time, the cell phone in her hand rang.
The name that came up there was one that I quite missed.
Kim Hyeon-ho.
This guy was my friend in high school.
We planned to go to the same university, but we grew apart because I didn’t go to university.
We met occasionally, but we gradually lost contact.
It was because I avoided it.
I made it known here and there that I had awakened as a hunter, but I was not able to actually function as a hunter.
Since I had no money to make, I worked part-time and then ran away to join the military.
I was truly dazed in front of a name I had not seen in over a dozen years.
Then I finally got a phone call.
-Why are you answering the phone so late? Are you still sleeping?
“No… I just woke up.”
– Well, I drank a bit too much yesterday. My head hurts and I’m dying too. You’re still a hunter, so it’s okay, right? What is a Hunter? They say you can’t get drunk because you have mana.
“I don’t have any mana yet. “I just woke up, I don’t have the ability.”
– Okay? Then you probably have a hangover too.
“Yes.”
– It’s nothing else. You know Suhee, right?
“Suhee sister?”
-Why are you pretending not to know? You went to the same high school as us~ Noona who woke up early as an A-level student, quit school, and went on to win~ She was very pretty, don’t you remember?
“Ah~~”
I remember.
Soohee Lee.
She was an idol at the high school I attended.
When I was in first grade, she was in third grade, and she said she had awakened to become a hunter, and she soon dropped out of school.
She was originally an older sister who was famous for her beauty, but after becoming a hunter, she became ridiculously pretty.
Those memories came to mind one after another.
– The older sister I know is friends with that older sister. So I asked, could we meet together?
“Let’s meet together?”
– Yes~ If not for an opportunity like this, when would I see Suhee? I said one more person would go out. Are you going too?
Memories of the past came to mind.
At that time, Hyunho Kim made the same suggestion to me.
After roughly replying that I knew, I went back to sleep and spent the night without hearing from him.
It was also because, for me, meeting Lee Soo-hee did not feel like such a necessary thing.
At that time, I was in a terrible mood, so I thought I would meet a beautiful woman like Lee Soo-hee every day during my life as a hunter.
Even now that I think about it, she was very pretty.
Isn’t it amazing that she is a woman who has already been called a goddess before she was awakened as a hunter?
I don’t know why, but I thought I had to meet her today.
At least after going back such a long time, I felt like I shouldn’t live the same life as before.
Although I couldn’t meet Seulbi Kim right away, I would have to live a life different from my previous life, even if it was through other means.
“What time are you going to meet?”
– We will have dinner together. It seemed like Suhee was trying to shoot her because she was a junior at their school. She has a gorgeous face and a kind heart. People like this do exist.
When I heard that story, Kim Seul-bi naturally came to mind.
She was an S-class hunter, but she was also kind and beautiful.
As Kim Hyun-ho said, such a woman really existed in the world.
‘Because it hasn’t completely disappeared from the world.’
It is difficult to meet her in high school, but you will be able to meet her again and build a relationship after a few years.
She decided to meet a new relationship and live a life she had never lived before.
I didn’t know that meeting ‘Lee Soo-hee’, whom she had no relationship with in her previous life, would be the first step.
