I didn’t think I’d be able to see good things if I were involved, so I turned my back and moved on by saying see you again later.
“Jihoon, wait a minute.”
But Woo-Chan caught up to me.
“Why?”
At a short question, he was momentarily speechless and frowned.
However, as if he had never done so, he gave me a pat on the back with a big smile.
“Hey, why are you being so cold?”
When asked by Woo-Chan, I had to tilt my head as if I didn’t understand English.
“There’s no reason to be so friendly.”
Cho-Hee and Woo-Chan kicked me out.
There is no reason for me to forgive them and even if both of them ask forgiveness, I have already seen their true nature, and it was hard to get along like before.
Then wouldn’t it be wise to keep our distance, as we just don’t get along rather than make each other uncomfortable?
“Call me later if there’s a wedding, I’ll help you. You two look good together.”
Friends, like what Gordon said, is not a secular relationship, it is united with trust.
But between us, that’s already broken.
“It’s just a matter of time. Are you upset?”
“Yeah, friends can fight with each other.
“By the way, did you make a comeback?”
“I don’t think it’s a comeback. What happened to you?”
If you have strong self-esteem, you may shake your hand saying it’s not for nothing, but then I don’t like emotional behavior.
If you just say yes, it is, or it is not.
“Make yourself at home. Don’t try acting too hard.”
“What?”
“I’m leaving. Take care.”
I normally waved my hands at the two people, greeted them, and then moved on.
“Hey, Cho Jihoon!”
Since then, Cho-Hee and Woo-Chan have not caught up to me.
To be honest, I heard two people cursing at me through my sensitive hearing, but I lightly ignored them because I was not free enough to respond to them one by one.
People say it’s painful to be lovers, friends, and be separated.….
I don’t know anymore.
Not long ago, we were laughing and drinking together, but now we didn’t feel much.
***
I put the gifts for my parents in my room and took out my Botte G Veneta wallet.
I bought it because it was a wallet that suits my taste, but it remains questionable whether its cost, 700,000 won, was worth it.
I don’t want myself full of luxury goods just because I have a lot of money right now.
I think the wallet and watch I have now are enough.
But I wanted the best for my parents.
I think the safety-related part will continue to be the biggest investment for me.
The expensive off-road vehicle I bought today is an example of that.
‘How many more spare cars should I buy? It wouldn’t be bad to also have a motorcycle ready.’
If I look at the width of the garage, I can fit up to three cars in the same size as the car I bought today.
These days, I was thinking that there was a whole reason why God has given me those rewards, and He even cared about the width of the garage because I had such a religious mindset.
‘I’ve got to increase security until July, so I’ll need one right now. Let’s add one at a time’
After all, I was determined to fill the garage like I did in the food warehouse.
I nodded and accepted my own judgment.
The current time is 5:30 p.m.
I think it’s time to get out.
Dinner was simply served hamburgers, and after renting a domestic light car nearby, I moved to a densely populated area.
The first destination was Itaewon.
It was the time that it started getting crowded from now on.
‘Is there anyone else who has magical powers besides me?’
First of all, ordinary Koreans cannot feel mana.
It may be because the density of the Earth’s mana was lower than that of the Mu continent, but it was hard to find anything naturally mana-focused.
No, it’s just that there isn’t any Mana at all.
Therefore, if there is a person with magical power, I have to suspect that he is the first person to be in the same situation as me.
I frequently used Magic exploration while moving in the car, but nothing was caught around Itaewon.
After passing Gyeongridan-Gil, Seoul Station, Hoehyeon, and Myeong-dong, I headed back to Apgujeong along Line 3.
The search distance was 300 meters and the diameter around me was 600 meters, which was never a short distance, but I could not find anything wrong.
‘I can’t believe everything is clear..….’
Is traveling to the Mu continent a miracle that only happens to me?
Then why the hell would I be the only one?
Of course, the distance I’ve traveled is only a small part of the entire Republic of Korea.
However, about 20 percent of all Koreans live in Seoul, and since they traveled along the subway line during rush hour, I must have already searched hundreds of thousands of people.
Nevertheless, nothing was caught, so I naturally had to think like this.
“No, it’s too early to conclude.”
Don’t make hasty judgments.
Even if with a ratio of 99 out of 100, I still believe in the 1 out of 100.
“Huh?”
I passed Apgujeong, Garosu-Gil, and then headed to the express terminal station.
[Right 22 degrees / Height – 4.5 m / Distance 83.2 m]
[No other navigation results]
Surprisingly, there was a mana signal near the express terminal station.
“Huh…”
Thanks to that, I put on the brake in a hurry.
Fortunately, the car was slow, so it didn’t lead to an accident.
There was just a loud honking from my behind, telling me to start quickly.
[W 34 Degree / Height – 4.5 m / Distance 86.9 m]
[No other navigation results]
As I moved into the car, the coordinates changed in the next moment.
And even if I do not rely on coordination, I can feel the concentration of the wave as I used Magic Exploration skills.
I parked my car in the parking lot between the Gyeongbu and Honam terminals and got out of the car and run.
I then entered the waiting room of the Honam Line terminal as the signal was leading downstairs.
I quickly mixed in with the crowd and went down using the central escalator of the underground square in front of S Department Store appeared.
Whaaaaaa!
There was a small fountain installed in the underground square, which was especially crowded in front of it.
The center of the crowd is where I got the signal from.
-Oh!
What’s strange was that people burst into admiration, and I quietly dug into the crowd, calming my pounding heart.
“Park Sung’s superpower show! Today, I visited F Street located in Gotter. Can you see this crowd? So many people are here to see Park Sung’s superpowers.”
There was a young man filming himself with a small camera with Wi-Fi function as if he was doing a personal broadcast.
“Girls, clap!”
Clap! Clap!
Whoosh!
Citizens responded easily to whether they were young or old.
“Well, I’ve already shown a little miracle to the people here. From now on, I’m going to broadcast the opinions of the viewers and use my supernatural powers. I’m going to lift the water from this fountain to make letters. First come, first served. I’ll write you a message to people who shoot more than 500 moon balloons.”
(The gifts on the Livestream platform)
Perhaps he had already done it once or twice, but he continued the process skillfully by looking into his smartphone in real-time.
“Thank you for 500 moon balloons! What do you want me to write? Picture? Ah, no, I can’t do that. Do you want to see me taken away? Do you want me to write Park Sung the swindler? It’s a little annoying, but I can’t help it. Now, look at this fountain.”
Just like that!
And as the young man bounces his finger, about 20 liters of water began to rise.
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
People’s exclamation resonates again.
After a while, the water spread little by little, and the word “Park Sung the swindler” was created.
“Awesome, how do you do that?”
“Isn’t that a trick?”
“How can someone do that, even if it’s a trick.”
Everyone around me rolled their eyes to find a trick, but they couldn’t find it.
“Oh, my God, honey! 1,000 hearts! Do you want me to express joy with water? Of course!”
Because that’s the magic trick.
It’s the kind of thing I don’t have, but I felt the movement of mana because of the familiar feeling.
“…….”
However, I had to grin and laugh with a response that was ridiculous despite the situation I had hoped for.
‘What, that idiot…….’
He is promoting himself so openly.
‘How stupid was he?’
I don’t know how much he earn from this, but I know that what is he doing right now was risking his safety.
Even if I am a leader of this country, I will not neglect the existence of a superpower.
Hasn’t he ever gotten a future newspaper?
‘Ah.’
Then suddenly, I remembered the new topic of Mirae Newspaper.
[Man kidnapped by the government and tested the human body?]
[Park Sung, a self-proclaimed psychic who has been attracting attention by making absurd claims, is a test taker who has been preparing for civil servants for 10 years.]
Park as a family name and self-proclaimed psychic.
Wasn’t it him?
I shook my head and sighed.
“Hey, it’s easy to make money. I can’t believe I got 10,000 moon balloons just today.”
Park Sung hums cheerfully while walking through a studio apartment located in Sindaebang Station.
Then Park Sung entered a deserted alley.
-Chuck.
In front of him, a black-clad man wearing a baseball cap and a mask deeply blocked him.
Of course, the guy is none other than me, Cho Jihoon.
“Are you Park Sung?”
He nodded nonchalantly at my question.
“Yes, who are you?”
I think he felt something was strange, but I didn’t see a change in his expression maybe he was confident with his skills.
“Are you the one who’s been preparing for the civil service exam for 10 years?”
And then my subsequent question narrowed his brow and irritation was written on his face.
“It’s not ten years, it’s only nine years.”
Either that or this.
Anyway…
This made it clear that he was the man possessing a superpower that appeared in the newspapers.
“Is there anything strange going on you these days? Like If you dream, you’ll find yourself in another world and you’ll get rewarded if you complete the quest.”
“Wha, what.”
His pupils were visibly shaking.
His appearance itself was the answer to my question.
‘As expected..….’
That’s a relief.
There was a strange sense of relief at the fact that there was a colleague suffering from the same phenomenon.
I spoke to him in order to get more information.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t know if there’s anyone watching, so would you come out with me? Let’s have a conversation.”
This was still a residential area, even if it’s sparsely populated.
I gestured to take him to a more secluded place, and Park Sung nodded reluctantly in great surprise.
‘Good.’
Frankly, I’m confused, but as much as I didn’t face such a sudden situation, there was less emotional agitation.
We headed to Boramae Park, and Park Sung, who followed me as well, suddenly stopped walking.
“Wait.”
He looked at my bag with sharp eyes and asked.
“What’s in your bag?”
A backpack that has become a complete necessity since the fog incident.
Naturally, there were spears and other combat gear inside.
Never mind, I replied to his wary question.
“Maybe it’s similar to what your sports bag contains.”
Like my backpack, he was wearing an unnecessarily long sports bag, and I already knew what was in it.
Park Sung’s eyes were getting more aggressive.
I tried to speak calmly because he didn’t expect this to happen.
“Don’t get me wrong. This is Korea. It’s not the Mu continent.”
“As expected, you’re also a dreamwalker.”
Dreamwalker, what a cheesy name…….
