Round 2 Starts With 990,000 Points - Chapter 83

83 – Return (2)

I didn’t know that time would pass so much. So I was shocked, but thinking about it, it was only natural.

“Yes. I’ve been in the dungeon for so long, so it’s only natural that this amount of time has passed.”

The man heard my self-talk and suddenly wiggled his finger around.

“What nonsense.”

I look like a crazy person.

“I’m talking to myself.”

“It’s the first time I’ve ever seen someone talking to themselves in person.”

“I have a habit of talking to myself.”

The man made an expression that he had stepped on poop.

“The world has become increasingly strange these days… Weird people are on the rise.”

I was happy to talk to someone after a long time. To add a lie, it didn’t feel like reality. It was like a dream.

“Eh, tsk tsk.”

The man doesn’t seem to be happy unlike me. He clicked his tongue and disappeared. He disappeared and I muttered again.

“Too much time has passed.”

I didn’t waste my time. There, I used every means possible to grow, and I became that much stronger.

If my prediction is correct, no one stronger than me will exist in this world.

I’ll have to get some information first.

In the old days, it took ten years for rivers and mountains to change, but nowadays rivers and mountains change even after one year. If it’s been 5 years, a lot has changed.

“What happened to the academy?”

Since he has been missing for a long time, he must have been expelled.

No, taking this into account, do I have to recover my identity first?

“Um.”

I walked while thinking.

* * *

Two more years have passed since I graduated from the academy. Choi Ji-seong was doing everything in his power to find the right to be the successor to the guild.

The peak guild is Korea’s number one guild and was established by his father, Choi Kang-cheol.

He naturally thought that he, the son of Choi Kang-cheol, should inherit, but his relatives thought differently. Because of that, there was a lot of conflict and even an assassination threat.

I was good at training consistently during my academy days.

If you were a tough hunter, you would have died right away.

As this is a guild my father created, I must inherit it.

Choi Ji-seong was busy moving, but he did one thing without fail. He periodically visited the island to pray for Ymir’s rest.

And today is the day to pray for Ymir’s rest.

“Are you here?”

When we arrived in front of the ferry to the island, Mo Ye-ji, who was there first, pretended to know.

“Ugh. Have you been waiting long?”

“No. I just came too.”

Choi Ji-seong scratched the back of his head. It’s been two years with Mo Yeji. After graduating from the academy, he has been busy. He obviously had no time to meet the other children.

“Have you contacted the other children?”

“He’s busy.”

“Everyone is not interested anymore.”

Mo Yeji frowned as if in a bad mood.

“I forgot everything. Thanks to whom did you survive the dungeon?”

Choi Ji-seong’s face darkened. He felt like a criminal whenever he talked about the dungeon. Originally, he was a person who was full of confidence and did not know that he was embarrassed. However, since Ymir’s death, his personality has changed. The experience in the dungeon changed his personality.

“Shall we go now?”

“Let’s go.”

After a while, the boat they boarded departed. Mo Yeji said while feeling the sea breeze.

“Hey. Jisung Choi.”

“Why?”

“You think Ymir is dead?”

Choi Ji-seong paused for a while before answering.

“Yes.”

“I believe he is still alive.”

“… ….”

“You don’t know, but I went out with him a lot. So I know he’s not going to die.”

As the atmosphere calmed down, Choi Ji-seong scratched the back of his head. Mo Ye-ji spoke with strong conviction, but Choi Ji-seong was skeptical.

The world record dungeon isolation date listed in the Guinness Book of World Records is only 300 days. However, Ymir had been isolated in the dungeon for over five years.

Moreover, as it is a special dungeon with a large time difference from real time, more time must have passed in the dungeon. Ymir must have felt isolated there for over a hundred years. So it is common sense to judge that she is dead.

But… What if he is alive?

“Yeji.”

“Yes.”

“What if.”

“Yes.”

“If he is still alive and trapped in the dungeon….”

“Yes.”

“Hmm….”

“Why don’t you talk?”

“No, thinking about it, I don’t think that would be possible.”

Mo Yeji shook her head in blush.

“Because he will be alive.”

“Ah, yes….”

Ymir is dead.

Choi Ji-seong thought so.

* * *

She was going to recover her identity first, but she knew the procedure would be tricky, so she decided to do other things first. This is because if the disappearance period is prolonged, it will be treated as death in the family register according to the court’s decision. Of course, the resident registration number will also be erased.

In order to recover the expunged resident registration number and restore one’s identity, one must file a lawsuit for cancellation of the missing person’s declaration, but it is not an easy task.

It takes a lot of time and costs a lot of money. Now that I had just returned, I had very little money. As a result of checking, it was not completely penniless, but I did not have an amount equivalent to the cost of the lawsuit.

If I had known this would happen, I would have put a lot of cash in my subspace pocket.

It is fortunate that I have some cash. It seems that I put some cash in my subspace pocket from a hundred years ago, but I didn’t know that until just now.

I’m glad I still have money.

With that money, I stopped by a restaurant and ate pork soup, sundae soup, cow head soup, bean sprout soup, and talo soup. I ordered bone hangover soup and was eating it, so the owner of the restaurant asked me if I was a mukbang BJ. I shook my head, smiled, paid the bill, and left.

After that, I went to the bathroom to clean up the dirt and bought banana milk. I didn’t know until I went through the dungeon, but I know how precious these little things are. In order to continue to enjoy these things, we must protect the world from destruction.

“Banana milk is really good.”

I shrugged my shoulders and immediately went to the PC room to search for information. Impressed by the latest human civilization, I searched for information and found that I had become a missing person.

I also found out about other news related to me.

They said I killed innocent cadets and disappeared.

This was clearly an incorrect article.

It is true that the cadets were killed, but they are not innocent. They are magic

Furthermore, when I dealt with the demons, I proceeded as secretly as possible. Only me and Lee In-ah know that I dealt with the demons.

But how did this information spread?

Thinking about it, not only me and Lee In-ah, but also the president of the academy must know the truth. He is the dark side of the academy. There is no way you don’t know

“Did he spread the information?”

There is a high probability of that. The academy president, Kang Yoo-han, is originally a sneaky guy who manipulates demons in the shadows.

For the eternal life of his son, Kang Il-nam, he decided to use demons, and encouraged the students to become demons in order to find the secret of eternal life.

And around the time of graduating from the academy, Choi Ji-seong reveals the fact and subdues Kang Yu-han. I was curious and searched for this information.

“Oh!”

However, Kang Yoo-han is alive and well.

“It’s strange.”

Perhaps some variable occurred and Yuhan Kang is still alive, but I don’t know why things went this way. Did Choi Ji-sung miss something?

“Ugh. No way.”

Come to think of it, I took care of most of the demons. Perhaps that is why the variable has arisen.

It’s because of me again.

Kang Yoo-han is the dark side of the academy, but he is not one to be killed. He has little to do with the end of the world. Even if he is alive, he is enough, even if he is dead, he is good enough.

This guy just passed.

I searched for other information. I wondered if the main characters of the novel were doing well. I checked and they were all fine.

“Hmm.”

After searching for information for such a long time, I suddenly feel tired. It’s mental fatigue, not physical fatigue. It’s been a long time since I’ve been active for a long time, so I’m tired.

No, I’m tired because I opened my senses too much.

Since the level of cognition has exceeded the normal level, the senses have become overly sensitive. I consciously closed my senses.

I yawned like that and got up from my seat.

* * *

Yudaye was looking for Ymir. She expands her senses to find it, but her location is completely undetermined.

“Where the hell did you go?”

Then I suddenly had an uneasy thought.

What if you chose to die inside the dungeon instead of leaving the dungeon?

“No way.”

He is not a resident of this world. He may commit suicide in a way he does not know. If he is locked up for a hundred years, he is likely to commit suicide. Even a mentally healthy person will commit suicide if he is isolated for a hundred years.

“If he committed suicide….”

Then we must destroy this world again. With his own hands.

* * *

Choi Ji-seong and Mo Ye-ji returned to land after going on a boat after visiting the tomb on the island where the entrance to the dungeon had disappeared. Mo Yeji looked up at the sky with melancholy eyes.

Are you really dead?

When I went, I had a strong thought that I would be alive as usual, but after I came back, I had a strong thought that I had suddenly died.

It’s because I realized something myself while talking to Choi Ji-sung.

If dead is right….

“Ha ha.”

I was walking through the city with a sigh. A person came out of the PC room in the building opposite. Mo Ye-ji, who casually passed by, felt a strong sense of deja vu.

“Uh…. What was it just now?”

Choi Ji-seong replied.

“What?”

“No, he just….”

Moyeji instinctively approached him.
