Chapter 5: My ex-wife and childhood friend are in complete mayhem

The Gates that opened in my room. My ex-wives emerging from them.

I couldn’t comprehend the situation.

They had said they would come find me, but I never imagined they would actually tear through dimensions.

Of course, Earth wasn’t stranger to interdimensional visitors.

Gates to other worlds occasionally opened, bringing people to Earth.

But the probability of three people simultaneously passing through Gates to Earth and landing precisely in my house? It was more plausible that they had actively sought me out.

‘Their power levels are strange, too.’

Cheon Ha-yeon, a master of the Transcendent Realm. Estelle, the Saintess, blessed with immense divine power. Liera, a Sword Master and Archmage.

All three should be far stronger than I was, yet their power felt only at the level of a C-rank Hunter.

Perhaps forcing open Gates to Earth had permanently drained some of their power.

It was the only explanation that made sense.

‘The leader of the Demonic Heavenly Sect, the most powerful sect and religion. A member of the Hero’s party who saved the world, the revered Saintess. The queen of a newly formed kingdom, already ranked third in global power.’

They were at the peak of their power and prestige in their respective worlds, yet they had abandoned everything to find me.

It meant they desired to see me enough to discard everything they had built.

‘Why?’

I had memories of our time together, but none of the emotions.

I understood we had been close, but I couldn’t fathom a connection strong enough to warrant such sacrifice.

‘What am I to them?’

Was I more valuable than I thought?

Despite having lost the emotions, I remembered the hardships, so I had chosen a peaceful life.

For 17 years, I lived a normal school life, even making two close friends.

In this sudden chaos, I had forgotten they were coming over today.

Ding-dong

The doorbell rang.

How would my friends react to seeing three stunningly beautiful women in my house, all unconscious?

‘Anyone would think I kidnapped them.’

Beep. Click.

The sound of the door unlocking. As expected of my best friends, they knew my door code.

‘Ah… whatever.’

I laid the three women on my bed, closed the door, and went out.

“What were you doing in there that you didn’t open the door?”

Han Shin-woo, my best friend of 14 years.

Perhaps because emotions didn’t carry over, my mindset was still modern, and I fit in well with younger people.

“You know the code. You just let yourselves in.”

“Yeah, but you usually open the door the second we ring. And you coming out of your room like that… don’t tell me…”

Did he suspect something? I felt a twinge of anxiety.

He often displayed surprising insight, despite his usual goofy demeanor.

“Were you jerking off?”

As expected of a friend of 17 years, his thought process was unique.

A remarkable insight, in a different sense.

“Ew, gross!”

That was Yoo Seung-ah, my childhood friend, also of 14 years.

Although, that wasn’t entirely accurate.

She had been missing from ages 12 to 16.

Her wealthy parents had searched the entire world for her, but found no trace.

Then, a year ago, just as they were giving up, she reappeared, much stronger, leading to a tearful reunion.

She was now preparing for the academy entrance exam with me.

“There’s no other reason he’d take so long to open the door. Or… can I check your room?”

If she checked my room, she would find them.

To protect their secret, I had to sacrifice my image.

“Yeah… I didn’t clean up after myself, so don’t go in there.”

I managed to deter them, at the cost of my dignity.

“Really…?”

Seung-ah’s slightly flushed face made me feel guilty.

“We’re sorry for interrupting your alone time…”

Shin-woo’s genuinely understanding expression made me want to punch him.

‘This is all because of you three!’

“Anyway, I brought chicken, so let’s eat.”

Chicken. My savior.

As we placed the chicken on the table and were about to eat, the bedroom door opened, and someone stepped out.

Black hair, black eyes. Ample breasts visible beneath black martial robes.

It was Ha-yeon, just as I remembered her. Her gaze swept the room before locking onto me.

Tears streamed down her face.

“Yu-won… Yu-won, it’s you…!”

Ignoring everyone else, she rushed towards me and embraced me tightly, her tears soaking my sleeve.

Caught completely off guard, no one but Ha-yeon spoke.

“You really have forgotten your feelings for me…”

Did she sense the bewilderment and awkwardness radiating from me? Holding me tightly, she looked into my eyes.

“I expected this, but it still hurts… that you, who whispered sweet nothings to me every day, feel nothing looking at me…”

She reached up and cupped my face in her hands.

“It’s alright. We’ve met again. I’ll make you fall for me again… I’ll try my best.”

Pulling my head closer, she kissed me.

Her tongue slipped past my lips, exploring my mouth.

The devouring kisses we shared every morning and night during our time in the Demonic Heavenly Sect.

Perhaps because of the lingering memories, my tongue responded instinctively.

The thousands of kisses we had shared were ingrained in my body.

Her saliva and breath were sweet, her skin emits a faint fruity fragrance.

Pressed close together, her ample breasts pressed against me.

As a virile 17-year-old male, my body reacted predictably.

My pants tented.

As she slowly broke the kiss, she traced the string of saliva connecting our lips with her finger, bringing it to her mouth and sucking it in.

The woman who had known nothing of men had become alluring, perhaps due to our time together.

“Judging by your reaction down there, Yu-won seems pleased as well. Then, let’s…”

As she reached for my bulge, someone shouted,

“Wait!!!”

Seung-ah, who had been watching in a daze, snapped out of it and tried to stop Ha-yeon.

Only then did Ha-yeon seem to fully register the presence of others.

“Why are you stopping us?”

“Because what you’re doing is insane! Who… who are you to Yu-won?”

“Yu-won and I are husband and wife. There’s nothing strange about a married couple being intimate. Why are you interfering?”

We had been married, but that was in a past life.

‘We never divorced, and I retain the memories, so does that mean our marriage is still valid?’

This was a first for me; my thoughts were jumbled.

Had anyone ever experienced a situation like this?

“Even if there was a gap, Yu-won and I have been together for 14 years, and I’ve never heard him mention being married… or even engaged. And he’s only 17…”

Without the concept of reincarnation, Ha-yeon’s words must have sounded like nonsense.

“My man, keeping a beautiful woman like this a secret from me… you’ve grown up.”

Shin-woo nodded knowingly, giving me a look that made me want to bury my head in the ground.

“17 years old…? Has it been 17 years since Yu-won and I parted?”

Technically, it had been 77 years, but 17 was the length of this life with its current emotions, so it wasn’t entirely wrong.

“So… if so much time has passed without you remembering your feelings for me, you might have formed relationships with others. Are you Yu-won’s lover?”

She seemed to have missed the first part, but she understood the latter.

Seung-ah blushed, stepped back, and covered her face.

“I… I would never date him…!”

She could have just said no… I had just been indirectly confessed to, and rejected.

“Then why do you care if Yu-won is intimate with another woman? He doesn’t seem to mind.”

Ha-yeon gestured towards my lower half.

I blushed, self-conscious of my still-evident arousal.

Seung-ah glanced down, blushed again, and turned away.

“E… even so, suddenly kissing and… and… trying to do that in front of everyone is inappropriate…”

Seung-ah’s approach was perfectly reasonable.

Ha-yeon nodded.

“I see… so it’s alright as long as we’re alone?”

As Seung-ah was about to retort, another presence emerged from the room.

“Where am I…?”

“Mmm…”

Just when I thought things couldn’t get worse, Estelle and Liera woke up.

‘Oh god…’

Someone please get me out of here.

Seriously.
