[Chapter 009]

[Changing Future]

Memories of childhood are hazy like fog, but only that day was clearly imprinted.

May of the year Eunha becomes 6 years old.

He lost his family on this day.

It wasn’t anyone’s mistake or fault. It was an extremely unfortunate accident.

Eunhae’s family was on their way to visit their grandmother living in Incheon. After < Destruction at the End of the Century (1999) >, movement between cities was extremely limited, and monsters occasionally appeared on the roads connecting the cities.

So the parents were avoiding taking the two children out of the city for safety reasons.

Naturally, Eunha and Eunah did not know about their grandmother except when she came to see them. It was also when two children were born.

However, Lim Ga-eul, who took office as a fairy, first implemented a policy of repairing roads connecting cities. Road maintenance was a necessary policy for her to install cocoons all over the Korean peninsula.

And in May of the first year of the Seonryeok.

After < Destruction at the End of the Century >, the fairy government presented a surprise gift for relatives living far away and people who have difficulty communicating.

It was the announcement that they would hire players in large numbers to fix the roads in May and September.

In the meantime, the reason people were reluctant to go to see their families outside the city was because of the monsters that appeared on the roads that no one managed.

There was no one who objected to the government’s plan to allow all households to celebrate the month of family and Chuseok.

May 4th.

People immediately packed up and went home.

The same goes for the Eunha family.

Eunha still remembered that day. No matter how much time passes, the vehicle does not move forward, so that day when the torch was lit.

It was a great procession corresponding to the national unit. Any road had to be congested.

And monsters had no choice but to appear.

Mana calls mana and is omnipresent. Mana unconsciously shed by people on their way home was ubiquitous.

In the omnipresence, it was impossible not to turn a blind eye to the people who were crowded with monsters that coveted mana after monsters were born.

This was also the reason why the fairy government hired players on a large scale.

The problem was that the fairy government was complacent about the situation.

One of the incidents that have been talked about since its inception has occurred.

Complacent policy of the early government.

insecurity.

Insufficient first action.

It was the first public apology of fairy Lim Ga-eul. Even Eunha had negative feelings toward the fairy Lim Ga-eul.

Since that day, he had to suffer from helplessness.

Because I had to suffer the loss.

Because I had to realize what death was.

Kraken, a monster that appeared without any warning.

Even at that time, it was a disaster disaster monster that corresponds to the 3rd tier.

It was a literal disaster.

The people there were but lamps before the wind.

The same goes for the Eunha family.

A car falling down a railroad bridge.

Sleep approaching slowly like slow motion.

screams in the car.

A scream from outside the car.

And Eun-ah hugs him tightly to protect him.

‘are you okay. My sister will protect you.’

Is it because it was

The galaxy miraculously survived. The players rescued him from floating on the surface.

People cheered for him who miraculously survived. Countless flowers from strangers filled the hospital room.

Someone forcibly came to the hospital room and asked what they thought of the people cheering for you miraculously alive, rather than asking to share your miracle.

miracle.

yes miracle.

The miracle of a guy who freezes to death.

In exchange for a miracle, he lost everything.

The age of 6 was too young to be aware of reality.

He resented his family. I hated Eun-ah.

why did you leave me alone

It wouldn’t have been so hard if he had killed me at that time as well.

The resentment turned to hatred for monsters, and it became a yoke called < Undead > that does not die even if it dies.

And that day came again.

The 6-year-old May that I met after returning.

I will never miss it in this lifetime.

☆

Isn’t it the May holiday from next week? Shall we go see grandma then?

The first person to speak was my father.

grandma?

Eun-ah, who was half buried in the rice bowl, raised her head. Not knowing if there was rice glue on the side of her lips, she was munching like a rabbit.

You are the one who becomes the mother of the mother. I met Eun-ah once when she was a baby, but I can’t remember, right?

okay?

It was dangerous outside of Seoul, so I was a little concerned about going to see my grandmother. But this year, the government will fix the road, so you’ll be safe.

That’s good. Because I haven’t met my mother since Eunha was born.

so do i. Because she is like a mother to me.

My parents’ faces softened, probably thinking of my grandmother living in Incheon.

My father, who was no different from an orphan, said that he was like a mother and a benefactor, perhaps because he was beholden to his grandmother.

Meanwhile, father and mother talk about the first time they met.

They were really a good couple. There is no way that Eunha didn’t know that their eyes looking at each other were getting hotter.

They seem to be relieved that we’re young, but I’m listening to them all.

Eun-ha pretended not to know what happened tonight. Then, I decided to interrupt and change the subject again.

mom and dad. Can’t I go see Grandma next time?

“huh?”

You wouldn’t have known that he would suddenly say that he would not go. It was natural for her parents to tilt their heads, knowing that Eunha had always been bothered by everything, but she didn’t force herself for no reason.

But I had to force myself.

No, I had to force it.

Because that was the only thing he could do.

Don’t you want to meet Eunha’s grandmother?

Mother asked with a sad look.

no. I want to see grandma too.

My desire to go see my grandmother was as chimney-like as my mother’s.

The person who took care of him who was left alone after losing his family was his grandmother. Even if people see him living like an autistic child and point fingers at him, saying that he is reluctant, his grandmother has been a parent until the day he closes his eyes.

To him, his grandmother was such a being. When I returned, I even had a feeling that I wanted to go see my grandmother right away.

But… not that day. Can’t we go next year?

A galaxy that knows the future that will happen in the future.

He made up his mind that he would change anything, just for this day.

yes i am a selfish guy

he conceded again. He’s a selfish guy whose only thoughts are to save his family.

Whether the people there died or not didn’t care at all.

There was no obligation to him to save everyone. There was no sense of justice whatsoever.

A mere 6-year-old kindergartener, he was insignificant in front of disaster-class monsters. I was in a hurry to equip myself, and it was too much to protect my family. Even more so, no one would believe his words.

It would be a lie to say there is no guilt.

Still, he will choose again and again. More selfish than anyone else, like stubbornness.

Maybe I’m crazy somewhere

Admit it. Even after returning, he is still an < Undead > who does not die even if he dies, and a < Berserker > who has gone insane.

Ever since the day he lost his family, he thought something was wrong. And I thought that was what made people non-humans.

Even with a second life, he’s still crazy. After killing monsters, he became a monster.

After realizing that, I couldn’t tell anyone that I had regressed.

Is there any reason you don’t want to go?

The father, who had been watching him quietly, opened his mouth. Those stern eyes seemed to be looking for something in him.

Eun-ha knew that she would not be able to convince her father if she just said that she would not go.

Because there is a degree to deterrence.

So he decided to refute for reasons his father could understand.

Did your dad tell you before? Thanks to the fairy’s installation of Cocoon, the number of people going down to the provinces will increase.

yes it was

Then the road would be very, very clogged? And what if a monster appears on the way? I heard on the news that Cocoon wasn’t installed outside of Seoul.

Eunha knows a lot. So Dad thought of leaving a day early. And the monsters will be taken down by the players, so don’t worry.

It’s no use though.

Eunha shook her head inwardly.

My father probably isn’t the only one who thinks starting a day early will suffice. Furthermore, the players who repaired the roads could not stop the Kraken.

As proof, the Eunhae family lost their lives because they left a day early.

When he became a player, Kraken was a 4th tier monster, but in this era, it was definitely a 3rd tier monster.

At least, in order to deal with the Kraken of this era, a player called < Twelve Seats >, a player equivalent to him, or a clan that reached B rank or higher had to stick together.

There was no way such people were applying for road maintenance.

However, it was difficult to convince his father with the information he knew. There was no credibility in the information the child brought.

So be like a child. Most.

lest my father be suspicious.

And next week is Children’s Day! I want to go to the amusement park that day! Hayang says that there are Vikings in Dreamland! They say it doesn’t take long from home!

Haha, Eunha, you… your ulterior motives are so obvious?

Whoo Eunha was also 6 years old.

Unexpectedly, my father burst into laughter. The mother, who had been quietly listening to the story, also turned her head and held back a laugh.

Neither of them went to an amusement park.

In the meantime, Eunha didn’t even go to kindergarten, so she was avoiding going far. Children’s Grand Park and Everland in Gwacheon were also like that. The only places the Eunhae family went to play were Changgyeonggung Palace and Gyeongbokgung Palace, which are close to the house.

It was not unreasonable for the father to be lost in thought.

Okay, the atmosphere is not bad.

If you bring an ally here.

Do you want to go to Dreamland too?

I want to go! Dad, I want to ride a bike too!

Eun-ah jumped up from her seat and her eyes lit up.

No one in the family could ignore Eun-ah’s expectant gaze.

I can’t help it. Then, shall we go to Dreamland next week?

I need to pack a lunch too. What does Eun Ah Eun Ha want to eat?

I’m a sandwich! I want a sandwich and chicken nuggets!

I’m the tuna gimbap that my mom made.

succeded.

Having achieved its goal, the galaxy sang with delight.

This will change the future.

It will change.

It didn’t take long to realize that this was an easy idea.

☆

Yes? Are you mom?

As if fate cannot be changed.

The peaceful atmosphere cooled down.

It was a day just a few days after the galaxy achieved its purpose.

The mother, who received a phone call while eating dinner, was restless.

…Yes, got it. thank you Please take good care of my mother. Yes yes…

My mother hung up the phone, visibly depressed.

what’s wrong mom

what happened to your mother?

Her mother, who was normally calm, seemed to be worried about Eun-ah too. Her mother hugged her as she ran towards her and opened her mouth with a soft smile.

It’s not a big deal….

What is it?

Mother passed away

what?

grandma?

It can’t be. Eun-ha couldn’t believe her ears after hearing her mother’s words.

Eun-ha recalled a story she had heard from her relatives in the past. She said that her health had deteriorated since the death of her grandfather, and she could not even get up when she heard that her parents had passed away.

However, the grandmother woke up to pick up Eunha not long after lying down, and nothing happened until he entered the Player Academy.

So, the story that the grandmother collapsed at this time was the first time.

Has the future changed?

I shook my head at the sudden thought.

There is a word called the butterfly effect, but there was no way it would lead to the grandmother collapsing. At most, all she had to do was tell her mother over the phone that she wouldn’t be able to go this year.

It’s just an accidental event.

really by chance.

It didn’t look like she was hurt too much, but…

Even if her mother didn’t say anything, Eun-ha had no doubts that her grandmother would be fine.

But the mother, unaware of her grandmother’s death, has no choice but to worry. I couldn’t help but feel anxious when I thought of my grandmother living alone after her grandfather passed away.

I can’t. I want to go see my mother too.

In the end, what Eunha was concerned about happened. The mother raised her head and looked like she was about to pack her things.

How are you going to go alone

If you are alone, there will be a seat on the train.

I’ll take care of Eunha and Eunah and you go alone? no. I’m also worried that my mother passed away, so I’m going with you.

But when the kids…

they can’t go to Dreamland.

It was a theory. There was no way my parents could stay still when they heard that my grandmother had collapsed.

What’s going on.

Eun-ha just blankly watched her parents talking.

I thought that if I knew the future, anything would come true.

But the future didn’t turn out the way it was meant to. The moment he decided to change the future for the first time, the future passed by his hand as if it were imminent.

As if fate cannot be changed.

Do not be ridiculous.

It’s all about the shitty sound of destiny.

There was no reason to live a second life if you couldn’t change the future. There is no reason for him to return.

galaxy Grandma

is very ill. I know Eunha wants to go to Dreamland, but can we put it off until later?

Parents who persuade Eun-ha.

He said nothing to his parents.

It was completely an outlier.

Eunha….

It’s pretty.

It seemed that someone giggled and laughed.

When he looked up, only his parents were waiting for his answer.

There was no one.

who laughed at

Still, it was clearly audible. Even now.

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

help me!

Mom~!

This time a scream.

The only thing he remembered about that day of his childhood was a scream that he could not help but face the fear of death in front of his eyes.

‘My older sister will protect you.’

Eun-ah hugs him in a falling car.

Then the world fell into the river and was covered in bubbles.

don’t remember Wake up Noh Eunha!

As the traumatic day played out, I almost vomited without realizing it.

He held back the nausea and emotions boiling from within.

If you can’t control your emotions here, everything will end.

So you have to be cool.

So you have to find the best move to break the situation.

The next best if not the best.

But I couldn’t come to mind. There is no means to convince parents who are worried about grandma.

For no reason, Grandma couldn’t convince her that it would be okay.

Shall we use a swarm? What group to use in this situation?

Kuk….

Eunha was caught up in a sense of helplessness that she couldn’t do anything.

…it can’t be helped. go see grandma

The voice that came out of my mouth was like chewing sand. In the end, I had no choice but to say what my parents expected.

Only

the screams

of that day, echoing in the abyss, disturbed my head.
