My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 186

#186

Earthlings of another world (3)

“First, let me introduce myself again. My name is Lee Se-ah. nice to meet you.”

Inside the hospital room, where only the two of us were left.

She greeted him again with her usual cold expression.

“Oh, I’m Hesperon…”

“Wait a minute. “Can I please use your real name instead of that pseudonym now?”

“Your real name… you mean?”

“Actually, it’s funny to even argue about that in this world. Still, since this is my first time greeting people from my hometown, I want to speak more clearly. Well, you can think of it as some kind of formality.”

When she said that out loud, Hesperon immediately realized her intention and nodded in agreement.

“As expected, you were the Earthling Riley introduced me to. “Actually, I was excited from the moment I heard the name.”

“Hmm, I guess you were Korean too?”

“ah! My name is Ha Seung-hoon. I came here after living in Seoul for a little less than two months. Ahaha!”

Please note that this name was not just a made-up pseudonym.

Because it was one of the truly legitimate identities that even existed in the government’s computerized information obtained through Heterosis, a major player in Seoul’s underworld.

If you had the strength and power, it wasn’t that difficult to take care of even the smallest details.

“It’s already been over eight years since I came here. A lot has happened so far… Ah, first of all, thank you again. “Actually, the most difficult time was after Riley was kidnapped.”

“I can’t say much about it, because I received a lot of help. “If it wasn’t for Riley, I would have been stuck there for the rest of my life, not knowing anything!”

After saying hello again, they became more and more conversational and began to talk actively.

Even Lee Se-ah, who seemed a little distant at first, was no longer able to see that side of her.

Anyway, she was a person who fell into another world at a young age and survived for a whopping eight years.

No matter how much I alleviate my loneliness by being with Princess Riley, I can’t help but feel a longing for my hometown, which I suddenly left behind.

In such a situation, it was natural to feel glad to meet someone from the same district, and even from Korea.

What more can I say, since I received great help and had a basic good feeling about him.

“So Mr. Heron, you are now twenty years old?”

And the conversation, which had been about various topics, naturally turned to age.

In fact, it was her intention from the beginning, as one of her goals was to conduct a census of Hesperon, but the problem was his next question.

“Yes. By the way, how old is Lee Se-ah? Well, you’re a bit young, but for Riley to call you sister, you must be at least twenty… Huh? But you said you came 8 years ago…”

As he tilted his eyes and blinked, Ise-ah paused for a moment.

For a moment, she was confused as to how old she should be.

First of all, I came here when I was 18, so 8 years later, I must have been 26.

It could clearly be said that he is older than that.

However, when she returns to Earth, she will soon be 18 years old and soon to be 19 years old.

Also, if you meet him on Earth in the future, will you still be able to say that you are older than him?

“Su….”

“Su?”

“I’m twenty-six.”

However, after frowning and thinking for a moment, she soon realized that it did not mean anything and continued speaking confidently.

Anyway, isn’t it impossible to introduce one’s age as ’18 years old (9 years old)’?

Also, age was originally a unit of counting the ‘years of life’, so it was enough to think about things later.

I was going to be his teacher in the future, so I didn’t want to complicate things like this.

“Ahaha! Is this fun? “I thought she looked a bit too young, but I guess that’s because she’s a high school student in her 9th year!”

However, Hesperon, who guessed the age at which she was transmitted through the answer, just laughed and laughed happily without even noticing it.

…It was a very informal laugh, as if he had become a lot more comfortable with the conversation.

“Hmm, Mr. Heron?”

In the end, Ise-ah lightly cleared her throat and gave him a wink.

Still, he seemed to have the intention of respecting his age and stuck to the polite language while laughing loudly, but I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable about it.

“Ah—sorry about this. I just found it fascinating. “Actually, I thought that was what Riley said when she said she was a cute and lovely older sister, but it’s definitely true!”

“Heron…?”

But it seemed that his inner intimacy was greater than she thought.

Even though I called him twice and paid attention to him, I saw him laughing as if it was a pleasant joke.

“But honestly, based on his appearance, he looks more like a middle school student than a high school student…”

“…Shut up!”

Isea added a bold line to Hesperon’s investigation recorded in her head.

This person has absolutely no sense of tact.

***

As always, on the gloomy side of immortality.

“You ran away? Newbie… here? And taking the princess with her?”

Andrew Weaver, another Earth from Outerica, muttered absently.

Today, as I was busy with work as usual, I heard the news a little late, and what I heard was truly shocking.

“how?”

I felt like I knew what method was used.

Because there was no other way other than unique skills.

However, it was completely incomprehensible that a new person did it less than two months after it was sent.

“…Maybe he was a bigger guy than I thought.”

Things went awry in many ways, so I didn’t have a chance to meet him in person other than when he was first captured, but I couldn’t even imagine that he was that capable.

Even his “trajectory observation” that he used out of curiosity didn’t clearly show anything, so it looks like he did something else in the meantime.

‘Plus, for some reason, the Immortal Army didn’t show any signs of trying to track them down.’

Does this mean it doesn’t matter since there is a crown prince anyway?

Perhaps the Immortal King considered this incident simply a part of entertainment.

“Huh—that guy is really lucky. “At first, I thought it was pitiful.”

Now that she had succeeded in escaping, the princess was no longer just a prisoner.

He becomes a golden connection and the most powerful emperor candidate in the empire.

Aside from simply contributing to her escape, isn’t the hardships they overcame together a common theme that causes some kind of emotion to sprout between a man and a woman?

It was something I couldn’t help but envy in many ways.

‘Tsk, someone is fighting with some crazy people and undead.’

But Andrew just clicked his tongue and shook his head.

If it had been before, I might have struggled with soaring jealousy.

It was no different from the fact that when you were wasting away day by day due to hard work, the things you did in a comfortable place like dating ended up meeting your eyes and running away.

But he no longer had to envy them.

I’ve been waiting for it—the day has finally come!

『Karma Store』

『Return (1000000) (Available)』

『Unique Skill Enhancement (700000)』

『Status Enhancement – View Details』

『Karma Possession – 1000028』

“Huh… Hehehehehe—!”

The number of events in which he intervened as a member of the Yeokcheon Coven was by no means small.

The most representative and large-scale event among them was the one that opened the door to the abyss and helped spread ‘madness’ across the continent.

At the time, he received fewer points than expected, so he could only strengthen his unique skills for the fourth time, but as time went by and the resulting damage accumulated, the karma he received began to increase.

In addition, the work he has been involved in for several years has been steadily settled, even if it is small, and recently he was even exploited by Olivia through harsh labor…

‘9 years… It was a long time.’

It was no wonder that the results finally appeared.

After giggling for a while, he looked around with greater ease.

Now that I thought I had a way out to escape at any time, I was able to enjoy the scenery of the immortal castle that would normally take my breath away, as if I was visiting a haunted house.

Afterwards, he leisurely walked around the castle and performed his own farewell ritual.

Not only the first residential area full of crazy people, but also the tall spire.

He snooped around everywhere he could and left his traces everywhere.

-Andrew Weaver is here.

“Phew, I think it’s almost done.”

He smiled in satisfaction as he looked at the words written in crooked English on a corner of the wall.

It was an incredibly horrible place, but I still don’t think I’ll ever see it again…

[Andrew…? It’s past business hours, what are you still doing here…? You know very well that there is no free time until the quota is met…]

At that time, Olivia appeared before his emotional eyes like a ghost.

“omg!”

gulp.

Andrew flinched at the sudden appearance and instinctively lowered his eyes.

He had nothing to fear anymore, but when he came face to face with the girl who was like a reaper, it was inevitable that he would feel intimidated.

‘No, this is the last time anyway, right? ‘No matter what I did, I wouldn’t be able to do anything about it anymore!’

Above all, since I was leaving soon, I didn’t want to be seen struggling until the end.

How many things have happened to her during this time!

The best ending would be to throw away everything I had accumulated and leave this world feeling relieved.

Having made that promise, he confidently straightened his back, raised his head, and looked straight at her…. He

met the blurry eyes staring at him quietly, and immediately lowered his eyes again.

‘If you think about it, this monster could tear me to pieces on the spot if I even showed a hint of what I was going to do, right? Would it really be wise to act rashly in front of him?’

At first, I was planning on throwing insults and taunts to his face and then running away, but I felt like if I did that, my limbs would be torn off before I could escape.

Since you have proven your usefulness so far, I won’t kill you, so you may be able to run away later, but…

‘…I want to return home safely.’

However, it was too unfair to just leave like this without saying anything.

It’s the last chance that will never come, but if you just let it go, you’ll have to live with a lump in your heart for the rest of your life.

‘Okay, let’s just say a few words and jump right in. It’s at a level that makes it difficult to take immediate action. That would be fine.’

He took a deep breath and applied saliva to his lips.

Then, fully prepared to run away, I raised my head again and looked at Olivia.

[Andrew…? Can’t you hear me…? Do you really think I should rip off those useless ears and shoot thoughts directly into his brain…?]

She looked at him with pity and whispered softly.

Those words almost made me cringe again, but Andrew gritted his teeth and held on, confidently shouting.

“that…!”

[…Huh?]

“We’ve been together for so long that it’s been dirty, and let’s never see each other again? It was much better to work with Siana, but you can’t even step up to her feet in everything except work? Oh, and every time I hear you talking about engineering while talking loudly, I feel like shit!”

He was so nervous that he lost his voice for a moment, but he eventually succeeded in pouring out what he wanted to say.

Although the level went down a lot because she was scared and kept her own line, that unexpected rebellion was enough to embarrass Olivia.

Moreover, he even brought in Siana, who he doesn’t get along with so well…

What a disaster!

In an instant, the temperature dropped below freezing, and energy everywhere began to boil.

[Have you gone crazy due to dark magic…]

Also, the moment when Olivia, with an unusual expression, was about to say something coldly.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! Then I’m going! “Look for it if you can!”

Andrew, who had already gained momentum and gained momentum, smiled brightly and said his final greeting.

And right after that.

His appearance disappears from nowhere to immortality.

[Oh…?]

Olivia, left alone without anyone to vent her anger on, could only remain blank for a while.

After coming to his senses, he immediately released the ghosts and began searching for Andrew… but

of course, his traces were nowhere to be found as he had already crossed the dimension and moved to Earth.

***

Los Angeles, USA.

“under! Hahaha! Ah—I feel refreshed! It’s a bit disappointing, but it’s not that bad! Haha!”

Andrew, who appeared in the basement of the house where he was first transmitted, was too busy laughing excitedly to be thrilled by the fact that he had returned to Earth.

Olivia, who always looked down on him with an air of intimidation, was so excited to see her shaking that he couldn’t help but laugh.

Moreover, it is also exhilarating to think that you will search for yourself for a long time and eventually give up.

She knows that he is from another world, so she will eventually accept the reality, but she will not be able to easily stop the search due to the possibility that she may not know.

“Ha ha ha ha ha?”

But his laughter, which seemed to go on endlessly, did not last long.

It was because there was something that bothered me a little.

“Um… why is it like this? “Is this really what prohibition is like?”

The prohibition that had been planted by the Immortal King was still active and remained in his mind.

No, for some reason, I felt like the connection was stronger now than when I was in Outerica.

‘Oh no way.’

He smiled awkwardly and quietly wiped away the cold sweat that was slowly starting to trickle down.

I guess this is what prohibition was originally supposed to be like.

It’s a little uncomfortable, but since there’s no one to give orders, it doesn’t really matter…

[Hoo—Have we come to Earth? Andrew Weaver?]

That moment.
