Chapter 72: Shocking Truth

An awkward silence filled the air as they were left alone.

Despite coming all the way here, Kamael couldn’t bring herself to speak.

She stood stiffly in a corner of the house, unable to look at Seyul, staring only at the wall.

Conversely, Seyul stared intently at Kamael, to the point of being burdensome.

The pressure between them was immense.

Enough to make an average person faint.

It would be more comfortable to put enemies in the same room.

“It’s been… a while.”

After a long silence, Kamael finally mustered the courage to speak.

“How long has it been since we last saw each other like this?”

“Not as long as you think. It hasn’t even been a year since I returned.”

Seyul replied curtly to the hesitant Kamael.

“Come to think of it, we haven’t known each other for very long either. Five years is nothing compared to the infinite lifespan of dragons or celestials.”

Seyul recalled the first time she met Kamael.

Seyul met her almost simultaneously with her arrival in this other world.

A body that had suddenly changed.

A world she couldn’t even begin to guess at.

Kamael was the one who suddenly appeared during the most bewildered moment of her life.

‘What are you doing there?’

Kamael spoke as if she had been waiting.

Seyul, in a state of panic, clung to her like a lifeline.

She explained everything and asked for advice on what to do.

‘Hmm, then why don’t you come to my house for now? I’ll protect you until you find a way back.’

Kamael extended a favor to Seyul.

She took Seyul in and protected her, while also.

Teaching him various skills necessary to survive in this other world.

Seyul’s strength was also due to Kamael’s influence.

Seyul was grateful to Kamael for helping her, but

On the other hand, she also found it strange.

Why would she go so far to help someone she had just met?

When asked, Kamael mentioned her race as a celestial.

And replied that she couldn’t ignore someone in trouble.

Seyul initially believed her words, but,

“Looking back now, I was an idiot to believe it.”

Seyul muttered cynically, reminiscing about the past.

She continued, not caring that Kamael flinched at her words.

“Celestial. Yes, you’re a celestial. An incredibly rare race that usually only lives in the celestial realm. An existence rarely seen even in this other world happened to be there at the exact moment I went to this other world? And you even helped me without any compensation?”

Everything was suspicious.

But at the time, Seyul couldn’t even think to doubt it.

And ironically, it was an enemy who changed his mind.

“I should thank the Dark Demonic Dragon God.”

The Dark Demonic Dragon God.

A powerful enemy who appeared at the end of Seyul’s adventure.

He was a god worshiped in this other world and a member of the Ancient Dragons who had existed since ancient times.

The Dark Demonic Dragon God aimed to take over this other world to seize its hegemony.

He was somehow connected to the beings Seyul had fought in this other world until now, and he finally tried to fight Seyul directly as a last resort.

No matter how strong Seyul was, he couldn’t possibly face a being who was a superior species and a god.

Reluctantly, Vanessa, Kamael, who was especially strong among the celestials.

He barely managed to defeat him with the help of two people of equal power.

But at that moment.

‘How pathetic. To not even realize you’re being played.’

Was he trying to mock him?

Or was he really feeling sorry for him?

The Dark Demonic Dragon God revealed a secret to Seyul.

‘You’re being deceived by that celestial b*tch. The reason you came here in the first place is related to that b*tch. She’s been deceiving you all along.’

The Dark Demonic Dragon God told Seyul the secret that Kamael had been hiding.

Because of that, Seyul didn’t feel like he had won, even though he had.

Betrayal!

An unbearable sense of betrayal seized him.

He had trusted her more than anyone, but all of that was a lie?!

A fierce emotion that felt like it would drive him crazy took over Seyul.

They were in a relationship, but it was impossible to continue.

After a huge fight and breakup.

Leaving this other world itself and hastily returning to his hometown was the reason Seyul was here now.

But now, his ex-girlfriend, who he had broken up with so badly, had come to find Seyul.

It wouldn’t be strange for him to be excited and jump around, but Seyul surprisingly continued the conversation calmly.

“Let me ask you one thing.”

Seyul stared at Kamael with clear eyes and said.

“What exactly are you?”

“A, a celestial?”

“Not that. Tell me exactly what you do and what your purpose is.”

Seyul pressed Kamael.

The last time he asked Kamael for the reason, she didn’t say anything.

He was even more angry because she kept her mouth shut and avoided answering.

But now that they had met again like this.

It was something he had to hear.

“It wasn’t for a bad reason.”

Kamael, judging that she couldn’t hide it any longer, began to speak.

“It’s just that it’s our job.”

“What job?”

“Seyul. You probably know this by now, but the world isn’t just one. There are countless worlds. And some of these are in serious trouble.”

Worlds that have been invaded by other worlds.

Or where powerful and evil beings have appeared from within.

Problems that threaten the world itself.

It would be best if they could solve it internally.

But when they can’t, they need someone to solve it for them.

“We select and send suitable people from among us, or we nurture talented individuals with the potential to solve the problem.”

“That talented individual you’re talking about, is that me?”

“Yes. Seyul, you seem to be mistaken, but we didn’t give you any abilities. We just helped you awaken the abilities that were originally latent within you.”

Seyul made a strange expression.

In other words, he had outstanding potential.

Aptitude for dragons, martial arts, and magical talent.

Kamael and her colleagues discovered this and sent him to this other world to deal with the problems that were happening there?

When he asked if it was true, since it sounded so absurd, Kamael shook her head.

“We didn’t send you.”

“Then who did?”

“The laws of the universe. Or you could call it the world’s system. A system that unknowingly maintains the balance of each world activates basic awakenings and sends you flying.”

“So you approached me pretending not to know anything, as the system told you to? Why would you do that?”

“Because that’s why our race, the celestials, were created.”

Celestial.

A sacred race that rivals the gods.

It’s a famous race, but the true purpose of its creation is shrouded in mystery.

There were many theories, but its true purpose of creation was to be used as hands and feet by the world’s system.

“Suddenly appearing returnees, reincarnators, or otherworlders. We’re all involved.”

“You’re involved in everything. So you’ve kidnapped perfectly normal people and thrown them into novels, or thrown them into games while shouting ‘User Han Seyul’?”

“…It’s not that there aren’t any, but they end up living happily later on. We support them so they can live well if possible. And this is why we were created, and it’s something that benefits the entire multiverse, so we can’t go against it.”

Kamael made excuses.

Seyul looked at his ex-girlfriend with a dumbfounded expression and asked again.

“Zecrosis is also related to you, isn’t it? I definitely remembered. I heard about it while living with you!”

Zecrosis.

The most suspicious organization since returning to his hometown.

He remembered where he had seen this organization, which gave him a strange sense of déjà vu when he saw Kamael.

“That’s right.”

Kamael readily admitted.

“Zecrosis is the name of our organization. It’s a pan-dimensional organization created by celestials like me and those who cooperate with us. As I said before, our main job is to protect the peace of the world.”

“Why is it in our world? Are you still trying to use me?”

“No! …Please don’t misunderstand. Interfering with your hometown in the form of a game company is for a separate matter from you. Your mission itself ended when you dealt with the Dark Demonic Dragon God and others back then.”

Kamael, who had been emotional for a moment, continued in a bitter voice.

“Originally, my mission should have ended there too. But when I heard that your hometown was in danger, I couldn’t just stand by and watch. And you came back here too.”

“So you followed me all the way here without saying anything.”

“….”

Kamael’s voice was cut off by the words that hit the nail on the head.

Seyul sighed as he looked at her.

This solved the thing he was most curious about.

It was an act with its own reasons, so he didn’t accept it, but he understood it.

Now all that was left was to ask about the villains and monsters.

“Did you ever love me?”

When he came to his senses, Seyul was asking something else.

The reason Seyul started dating Kamael was nothing special.

It was just that a man and a woman, who were living in the same house, naturally ended up that way.

It was a really trivial reason, but Seyul still thought he loved Kamael.

If he didn’t, he wouldn’t have been so angry thinking he had been betrayed.

“Would you believe me if I said I loved you?”

Kamael replied with a gloomy face.

“I love you. I didn’t pretend to love you to use you. I would never do such a thing. I just purely came to like you while being with you. It’s just that I couldn’t be honest because of my position.”

Even as she spoke, she didn’t think he would believe her.

Who would believe her if she said she loved him after deceiving him so much?

Kamael squeezed her eyes shut, expecting to hear that she was talking nonsense soon.

“….”

But he didn’t say anything.

He just approached her with a cold face that seemed devoid of emotion.

Slap!

After getting close, he slapped her on the cheek.

Then, he grabbed her by the collar with his dainty hands.

Was he going to grab her and beat her up?

Kamael didn’t even think about covering her slapped cheek and tensed up.

But the next moment, what she felt wasn’t a fist touching her cheek, but the softness of lips touching hers.

It was a very familiar sensation.

Seyul had grabbed her by the collar and was kissing her roughly.
