Arjen’s world of imagery is special. It was not meant to be a metaphor for the fact that a typical person with multiple personalities has different personalities in their head, but it was a real space.

This came from the Corridor of Memories, a power and art that had been passed down through her bloodline. His originally powerful ability to connect his own and other people’s images and interact whenever he wanted was influenced by Akasha’s abuse and changed into creating his own closed world.

Because it was a space that really existed, Arjen’s personalities differentiated here, unlike ordinary multiple personalities, were very independent and subjective, but did not cause a large load on the body’s only brain. If there is a side effect, it is that because it is so independent and subjective, a situation arises where Arjen, the original personality, cannot control other personalities.

Of course, this has never actually been a problem. This is because Arjen’s personalities respected Arjen’s wishes as much as possible. Recently, when dealing with Eugene, he was a little greedy, but it was safe to say that it never became serious enough to be called a ‘problem’.

So, in this situation where Viola is destroying everything around her, the real problem is that Arjen has no will to stop Viola.

“Black… Eugene… Eugene…!”

As Viola rose to the surface of consciousness, Arjen, who came to the world of images, squatted on the spot, buried his face in his knees, and cried endlessly. No personality in the world of images could think of stopping her crying, which showed no signs of stopping.

They also know it well. The fact that there is nothing you can do now except cry.

No matter how long the dragon was said to be, it was impossible to bring back one who had disappeared beyond another dimension without any basic knowledge. All I could do now was cry like crazy and deny the reality that Eugene had disappeared.

“It’s a lie, it’s a lie…! Eugene said…! You will never leave me alone and go somewhere…!”

Arjen’s voice was filled with a belief that was close to certainty, but his actions did not show that. If Eugene were really by her side, she would have taken the lead before anyone else, but she was afraid that Eugene would not be there if she went out like this, so she was unable to do anything.

“Arjen…….”

Among the many personalities, only Rube was looking at Arjen with pity. Rube, a personality born from Arjen’s desire to be like her older sister Yudina, was able to observe the actions of all the personalities, and could also intuit that Viola was currently carrying out indiscriminate acts of destruction without regard to any one target. there was.

Therefore, she had to step in and calm Arjen’s heart and stop Viola’s actions. However, even Rube, who normally would have acted like that a long time ago, could not do so this time. Anyone could see that sending Arjen out for no reason would only have the opposite effect.

We were in a situation where we had to worry about Arjen being more rampant than Viola.

“Ugh…….”

Rube moaned softly. In the first place, now was not the time to care about who. In fact, Rube himself was unable to easily overcome the shock that Eugene had disappeared from this world.

“We have to find a way…”

From the moment Eugene disappeared, Kaela had been trying to find a way to bring him back. However, it was impossible even for Kaela, a personality born from Arjen’s promise to master various knowledge and never experience a misfortune again.

Even Akasha, who tore up space and opened a dimensional gap and threw Eugene directly, was an achievement she barely achieved by devoting most of her life to researching the power of God.

“……sniff.”

Rose, who was a character with a sense of helplessness learned from Akasha’s abuse, also had to brag, saying that everything was fine as it was, contrary to her true feelings, but since the matter was a matter, she showed her true emotions and cried along with Arjen.

‘Eugene… please, please come back…’

In this situation of total crisis, the only thing Luv could do was pray.

***

“……Ha.”

I laughed out loud. This is because the cold sense of reality pricked my skin, as if everything that had happened so far had been in my imagination.

When I first saw the monitor, I thought this moment was a dream. I had a sour mindset that if I even pinched my cheek, I would wake up from my dream and wake up next to Arjen.

However, my cheek, which I pinched with all my might, was very painful, and I could not wake up from the dream. At that moment, I had no choice but to admit it. That this moment is reality.

“Sirocco.”

I called Sirocco’s name. But she never appeared before me. In a way, this was natural, but Sirocco had already been summoned when I was thrown by Akasha and returned to Earth, so it was no wonder that it was impossible for him to follow me.

‘…shit.’

I felt sick to my stomach as I thought that if I had been conscious, I would not have been treated in vain like this. Of course, if you think about it calmly, no matter how hard you tried, you couldn’t have changed the outcome. No matter how strong the wind was, it would have been meaningless in front of a guy who was tearing up space itself.

I was just feeling so regretful that I was just blaming myself for no reason. However, it is said to be regret because it is too late no matter how early it is. Rather than looking back on the past moment, I should first think about what to do next.

“Haha, you’re screwed.”

No matter how much I put my hand on my chest, I couldn’t feel a single ounce of mana. It was mana that could only be felt after Sirocco inhabited the body in the first place. It was quite difficult to hope for a convenient situation of returning to Earth with Mana.

The problem is that there is no way to go back, so the frustration is doubled because you can’t even feel the meager mana. When I look back at my situation objectively, nothing has changed since before I moved to this world. The only thing that has changed is that my body looks a little better due to consistent outdoor activities and exercise.

When I looked at the calendar, surprisingly, it still showed August. It’s been so long that I don’t remember the exact date I went to this world, but I still remember that it was August, so I knew that very little time had passed. I wondered if the year had changed, but that wasn’t the case.

-Tiriring~♪

A refreshing ringtone suddenly sounds. It was a notification sound indicating that the washing machine was running. It’s not like someone just came in and did the laundry while I was away, so it’s said that they did it before I went to the other world, so if you think about it, it means that about an hour has passed since I went to the other world.

“……Holy fuck.”

Still, I was at peace with the thought that I wouldn’t be seen as someone who disappeared for a long time and returned to the people around me, but in hindsight, I cursed out loud. I don’t know exactly how long I was in this world, but at least half a year has definitely passed.

That meant that even under the best of circumstances, one hour on Earth was equivalent to half a year there. During the 10 minutes that I sat here and thought for a moment, I was told that a month may have already passed.

“Arjen!”

At first glance, Akasha is a very threatening figure to Arjen. If Arzen was attacked by Akasha…

No, you shouldn’t think negatively. If that were the case, something would have already happened, so I had to turn the happiness circuit like crazy. I had to think and move based on the assumption that Arjen would somehow overcome Akasha or escape from the scene.

But even so, it was a problem. This is because the fact that I have been away from Arjen for a month will have a fatal effect on her. So I had to get back to Arjen’s side right now, even one second faster.

“…….”

And one very sad fact. There was literally nothing I could try to get back to her right now. I lowered my head and fell into despair due to the overwhelming sense of helplessness, and it has already been an hour since I returned to Earth.

By the standards of the other world, it was already the moment when she had been away from me longer than I had been with Arjen. From now on, by simple calculation, for every minute I wasted, Arjen would have to be alone for three days.

Unable to waste even a single second in the hellish time flow difference of 1:4320, I struggled every day to return to this world. I called Sirocco every day to feel even the slightest bit of magic. In reality, nothing happened, but it was an action based on the vain belief that if the contract with the spirit still remained, they would be able to know where I was just by calling my name.

Besides that, I visited all the places in Korea that were said to have spiritual properties in order to feel something similar to mana. From famous mountains said to be full of vitality to psychic spots said to be full of negative energy, I explored everything I could find. I thought that once I awakened Mana, I could try anything.

Even though I did that, I never felt Mana, and a month has passed since I returned to Earth.
