The Player Hides His Past - Chapter 21

Episode 21. Existence of love and hatred (2)

Sudden ─

No. 1 Lee Eun-hye.

Mrs. Choi Kang-hee, president Lee Jun-wook.

He is the only married out of four siblings.

“Aarang. Uncle Ho-yeol, hello.”

“Hello Uncle Hoyori!!”

My older sister held her daughter Arangi’s hand tightly and opened the door to my bedroom.

No. 2 Lee Ji-yoon.

Number 2 came in after him and spoke to me.

“Hoyeol, you dyed your hair well. I’m a complete idol Idol.”

No. 3 Yerim Lee.

He looked at me and gave me a rotten smile.

“Idols are horns. Mom would be stunned if she knew. how much you suffered He said his hair had already turned white. Your son lost his hair earlier than Dad.”

Four women burst through the front door.

If it had been like before, I would have been embarrassed.

It was as if something I had been hiding had been discovered.

But now I was shameless.

“It’s been a while since I saw your face. Have you been at peace? Sisters.”

A polite greeting with bowing to the waist, not even the head.

The sincerity that comes from that formality.

It was the noonas who became more serious about my greeting.

No. 2 kuk kuk— stabbed Wensou’s side.

“… Hey, I guess this isn’t the concept.”

“That’s right. Where did our petty Ho-yeol go?”

“I was dubious when I called my sister…”

I explained most of the circumstances on the phone.

I recently became a player.

As a result, his way of speaking and his appearance changed.

I quit my job due to unavoidable circumstances.

Lastly, Lee Ho-yeol in the news said I was right.

Then it was a step away.

He said he couldn’t believe it without seeing it with his own two eyes.

Of course, I had no right to refuse.

‘…because of the sins I committed.’

Even if you haven’t committed any crimes.

If I am surrounded by 1 2 3 and suffer from their words, even their outspoken personality becomes my fault.

In a word, it is a natural enemy relationship that cannot be resisted.

But like I said, I’m different.

It means that you can act shamelessly even in front of your natural enemies.

“The wind is cold. What would you like for tea?”

At my words, they exchange glances with each other.

“…what are you?”

“Does our Ho-yeol have a girlfriend?”

“It’s nice to be friendly, but why? Hoyeol-ah, my older sister is coffee~ Do you want to drink something warm, too? Uncle, please give me a roar, too.”

I skillfully took out a teacup and prepared tea.

Number 2 and Wensoo whispered while looking around.

“That looks like a girl. Otherwise, a house where a man lives alone couldn’t be this clean? And what is it? Look at that teacup. It’s just very delicate…”

“Even if that’s the case, the house is too clean? Not a single strand of hair can be seen.”

“Look at this refrigerator. you just got caught Lee Ho-yeol.”

Wen Su took lettuce out of the refrigerator and held it.

No. 2 picked up a chicken breast.

“Looking at the only things like this in the fridge, your girlfriend is on a diet? Be honest with your sisters. What are you doing? How old are you? Pretty?”

…There must be a lot of misunderstandings to clear up.

After that, we sat down and talked calmly.

Thanks to this, most misunderstandings have been cleared.

There was solid evidence.

“…You mean lettuce and chicken breast?”

“Seeing that you’ve gotten better, it seems like that.”

“Does that make sense? How annoying is it to eat alone while sleeping on your own?!”

“Lee Yerim. Don’t judge the world by your standards. You made a fuss so I thought I had a girlfriend for our youngest.”

“Then, did Ho-yeol choose this teacup as well? You have a good taste~”

You did a good job preparing refreshments according to the formality.

Maybe it’s because it’s warm and sweet?

The reactions became more harmful.

Except for Wen-su, who looks unfair.

However, there was a topic that could not be avoided.

my older sister asked me

“So how is it? Is it worth it?”

Although it was a short question.

I know that the meaning behind it is not simple.

It was common knowledge that player activity was dangerous.

So I couldn’t even tell you first.

Dangerous is not dangerous.

Because I couldn’t lie.

Wensu warned.

“You look me in the eye and tell me.”

…Are natural enemies not natural enemies for nothing?

Well, since I was little, I realized that it was a lie.

But at this moment, there was no lie in me.

“It fits my aptitude.”

It wasn’t to make his blood relatives worry.

A true expression of confidence.

I realized my potential and limitations in the Count Ascura raid.

Because you know your bowl.

At least, it was because he was really good at defeating demons.

I was able to answer without the slightest hesitation.

“…Well, I don’t think it’s a lie.”

“Lee Ye-rim, it’s you again. did i say Hoyeol is you? Unlike you, since I was young, I’ve been doing well on my own. What about Ho-yeol? Because it fits my aptitude, Ho-yeol will always be talked about in the news.”

“okay? When the youngest says that, my older sister puts her mind at ease.”

…was easier than expected.

Is it because of his confident attitude?

Anyway, I asked my older sister.

“Do your father and mother know?”

“Dad mom? He’s been busy making dumplings since dawn today, so he doesn’t know yet. But since you’re on the news all day, you’ll find out soon, won’t you? What about hair color? as well as the physique. Even if you’ve changed so much, there’s no way your mom and dad won’t recognize you.”

“Nadunadu! I recognized Uncle Ho Yeori!” I said while patting

Ahrang

‘s head.

“I should also tell my father and mother the truth.”

“it’s okay. we’ll tell you.”

…you?

Wenshu looked at me and continued talking.

“Mom and Dad are different from us. No matter where you go on a trip, you worry until you get home. like you told us How worried would you be if I said it plainly like that?”

So, it was the sound of knowing what to say instead.

…Yes, I thought it would be better for me too.

Thinking so, I nodded.

Suddenly, a choking laugh was heard.

“But my father, mother, sister, and sister. So it reminds me of the old days.”

“right. Isn’t it just me?”

“…?”

“Let’s see, has it been about 10 years? Lee Ho-yeol, this is completely middle school 2 disease. Suddenly, he writes respectful words to us. He said he would also say hello to mom and dad.”

“…!”

“It was cute back then. First of all, the face was cute. then. Now it’s reversed… no. Looking at it now, it seems like that face appears again?”

“Because I think so. Didn’t Ho-yeol just say he wanted to dye your hair silver?”

My dark history recited one after another!

…No matter how you think about it, it was a natural enemy.

A nemesis beyond demon hunters and demons was certain.

.

.

.

I carefully handed over the sleeping child in my arms.

Whispering—

“I’ll go. contact me.”

“I want to nag you. There’s nothing to do.”

“Goes.”

I politely bowed my head.

Just as I was about to close the door.

Took—

Wensu inserted his foot.

“This sister is one last nag.”

“…?”

“If it’s hard, hit it right away. Actually, I’m here to say that. we.”

It seems that the unnies couldn’t say it until the end…

but they know the meaning behind the words even without an explanation.

I nodded and added a word.

“And one last really. Save well while you have it. Above all, no warranty. know?”

I was suddenly reminded of that sound.

Yes, there is absolutely no warranty.

Why did my house get a red ticket…

‘…Wait, that’s not it.’

Rift Clear Reward!

Integrity, innocence, and what to take care of!

*

Rift clear reward.

It could be said to be the main source of income for players.

The amount of compensation was measured according to the appropriate level of the rift, and compensation was paid to players in a differential manner according to their contribution.

States have also been instrumental in providing the compensation.

Time bomb rift that could lead to a national disaster.

It was only natural to pay compensation to players who dealt with such cracks. However, compensation at the national level was literally salty.

“I understand that the national budget is limited, but…”

“Shouldn’t it be increased?”

“Only like this, labor costs won’t come out.”

then.

Who pays the players huge rewards?

It was Cosmo, the developer of Arcana.

No, it would be too much to call it Cosmo now.

All resigned except for one person.

Because I moved to AAU.

So only one.

It was Cosmo’s CEO ‘Raymon Sean’.

As if he knew the arcana would become a reality.

Arcana’s homepage has changed to match the upheaval.

Of course, the reorganization of the ranking system.

Notice of new update.

Until the crack clear status.

Cataclysm.

The reason the world, literally changed like a game, could be maintained as it is today was because Arcana’s homepage existed.

Thanks to this, there was a re-evaluation of Ray Men Shen in various parts of society.

“Let’s say that Raymon Shen is the one responsible for the cataclysm. Why would he still be running a website? Didn’t the home page make mankind more advanced than it was before the cataclysm?”

It was a valid opinion.

A social system maintained thanks to the homepage.

Arcana civilization invaded reality.

Because of the synergistic effect of mutual exchange, the world has actually progressed more than before the cataclysm.

“That is an undeniable fact… but I think it should be pointed out before re-evaluation. Is Raymond Shen really running a website to prepare for a cataclysm? Or are you simply running it to turn public opinion like it is now?”

Of course, differences of opinion will not be easily narrowed for a while.

However, at least the players had no choice but to defend Raymon Shen.

That’s because the Rift Clear Reward paid by Cosmo Raymond Sean was enormous.

“…the pain that used to sting is gone.”

“okay. This is financial therapy.”

“Because of this, I can’t end my career as a player. I.”

Where did you get that huge reward from?

If asked, it was enough to recall the monthly fee for Arcana Continent Electric, which was vicious.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars a month.

Even that was not enough, even the price of a dedicated connector reaching 10 million won.

It was an undeniable fact that Cosmo made astronomical money.

decades to come.

Even if a huge crack reward was paid to the players, it was an amount that would preserve the original amount.

So, it was only natural that interest was focused on the new rift clearing reward.

Just looking at the appropriate level, I could have predicted that it would be the best ever.

Guild Berserker.

His shaggy scarlet bob hair twitched.

I counted the numbers on the screen and muttered.

“…what is this?”

“What is it? The numbers are too big and hard to read. Sister?”

“Mr. shut up I am counting again.”

11.1 million…

Leonie, who was counting the balls, swallowed in astonishment.

…what is so much? Is it real?!

Guild Gaon.

Nam Tae-min and Nam Cheol-min couldn’t help but be shocked.

“It’s no joke even if you think about the appropriate level.”

“…It’s an acceptable amount. If you think about it, it was incredibly tricky. This crack. Even if it was just us and Inazuma, we almost suffered a crushing defeat at the count’s estate.”

“Is that so? Even thinking like that, it’s the first unit like this…”

Likewise, questions poured in to Jesse.

“Can’t Jessie just tell me the front seat?”

“no.”

“I’m curious~ How much did you get when we got this much?”

Yes, each had a reason.

Berserker is the first to clear a new rift.

Gaon defeats the trickiest trap rift among the same rifts.

Because Jesse had defeated Count Ascura.

If so, questions naturally arise.

To Ho-yeol, who was involved in all those incidents.

What unit of compensation was set?

For once, one thing was certain.

“…”

That you can’t even guess just by looking at that expression.

.

.

.

I counted the numbers

“….”

11.1 billion 10 million million 100 billion 100 billion ch…. I

shamelessly opened my mouth in front of that astronomical number.

“This is also very natural.”
