In the end, it wasn’t until the next day that I was able to leave my parents’ arms after the doctor confirmed that there was no problem with my body.

Our family gathered together in my mother’s office and began to organize the situation that had happened so far in detail. There must have been things that I didn’t hear or see.

“Son, it may be hard, but you have to accept it..”

“You can do it, right?”

My father’s expression is not good.

To be honest, I wasn’t scared because I had already won more. Just a little anxiety about accepting the truth passed through my nose.

＂First of all, I have to talk about Janes, the exclusive engineer..＂

According to my mother, the reason why Janes kidnapped me was because she had some kind of entity holding my family hostage and had no choice but to attempt to kidnap me.

As evidence, we heard from Janes’ family that he had all died a horrible death with his left arm amputated.

‘As expected, Janes had no choice but to kidnap me..’

Of course, I didn’t hear it directly from Janes, but I had some idea that the ring on her top that she had until the moment of her death belonged to her parents. And it is not a kidnapping carried out by Janes’ will.

That’s why I was able to forgive and understand Janes. Even if she was the one who tried to kidnap me.

＇Then the problem is..＇

At this point, a new question arose. Then, who on earth was the mysterious entity that brutally killed Janes’ family and forcibly threatened him? And who led the attack by provoking the [Gobblet] group to kidnap me.

Even among the countless pieces of evidence, no one is clear. But… it was clear that someone was targeting me blindly.

My mother also began to look at me with a very troubled expression, probably because she couldn’t find the clue to the truth.

“Son, there’s something I haven’t told you yet…”

In an instant, my mother’s mood changed.

As I trained my magical power and spent a long time alone in the forest, I was able to feel this external flow of magical energy faster than anyone else.

This feeling is definitely… a flow of magical energy that seems to be on the lookout for something.

“According to you, that forest is {Diriol Forest}, that is, a forest with heavy snow that everyone hates.”

“How were you able to get out of that cave alone?”

It is said that it was clearly a harsh environment with snow constantly accumulating, and that the [Tululpo] and [Tagpog] that lived there were a forest that even the most skilled hunters could not easily subdue or escape from.

It makes no sense for a young boy to escape such a difficult forest by himself, even when he doesn’t even know where he is.

In a way, my mother’s suspicious look may have been natural.

And judging by the way my mother’s gaze keeps turning to my left hand…

I also had to sincerely let go of everything that had happened.

This is because the [Slime] magic stone implanted in my left hand always seemed unfamiliar to me, to the point where I did not even think of it as human.

＇As expected, did you sense it?＇

＇It would be meaningless to hide it.＇

It seems that the “nothingness” attribute [Slime] magic stone implanted in my left hand has begun to react due to the vitality in my body and the magic power gradually accumulating.

Of course, I was convinced that the only way to overcome this situation was with the truth, so I decided to approach without any more lies.

Even if you avoid this situation by lying, it is certain that you will be found out someday, and if you can approach the truth and receive help from your mother, you may be able to direct this power in a better direction.

“in fact..”

After catching my breath for a while, I calmly explained the process and the reason why I was able to survive in {Diriol Forest} step by step.

A situation in which Janes was able to survive in the cave thanks to his sacrifice.

This is also true of the fact that he implanted the monster’s magic stone inside the human body.

Still, I had to prove that fact to my parents, who looked at me with disbelief.

‘Honestly, it’s not like Sheng..’

The fact that I had to show my parents the results of implanting myself with the monster’s magic stone was a truly uncomfortable situation, but I had to point it out.

After explaining to some extent, I raise my left hand and inject magic of the “nothingness” attribute.

＇{Armed}..＇

Did you say that seeing is better than hearing about it?

‘Hearing something a hundred times is not as good as seeing it once.’ I understand it to mean: It was clear that it was an old saying that was very suitable for the current situation.

Honestly, I thought that showing something once would be more effective than explaining something difficult to understand a hundred times, so I showed off my arms in front of my parents.

That moment..

As if the magic stone in the center of the chest and the [Slime] magic stone implanted in the left hand were connected, magic of the “nothingness” attribute began to circulate rapidly, and a sticky slime began to be created between the burn marks of the cracks on the left hand.

Soggy…

The slime, which was shaped like a droplet of rice cake, boasted considerable elasticity on my palm, and I transformed it into a titanium material and wrapped it around my entire left hand, completely {armoring} it in the form of a sharp glove.

[Slime] The outer surface of the left hand, {armored} with slime, seemed harder than any shield, and the fingertips of each joint, which gave off a bloody sharp edge, seemed sharper than any sword, giving the feeling of being able to pierce anything.

Literally… the threatening magical power of a monster.

＇Monster.?＇

But for some reason, my mother, who was watching me, made a protective shield with her hands as if she was trying to protect my father, and began glaring at me with a deadly look that seemed like she was going to kill me.

It was my first time.

My mother is glaring at me like this…

The heat of my mother’s red magic power, which seemed to burn the surroundings, seemed to distort the atmosphere of the living room, and for an instant, a tremendous sense of pressure enveloped me.

That brief moment when I also felt my mother’s life…

As if he sensed the threat to his life that he had always faced alone in the {Diriol Forest}, he instinctively stepped back and distanced himself, taking a low posture as if he would be immersed in battle at any moment.

Throbbing.. Throbbing..

The crazy, throbbing pain in my right eye wakes me up that day.

I myself didn’t even question why I was in this situation with my mother. Rather, it was a natural response faithful to the instinct to live.

A fairly heightened situation.

＂Dincia!!!＂

just as expected. My father’s cries right next to me broke the silence and penetrated into everyone’s ears.

＂My, what did I do..＂

Dinsia, who barely came to her senses, could see Dahyun’s unknown fighting stance as if she was about to pounce at any moment, and Hahyunt, who was blocking her path, had an urgent yet frightened expression on her face.

Dincia also expected it. Currently, Dahyun’s body is not normal..

She had an intuition because she had subjugated and hunted countless monsters throughout her life. The fact that the magical energy that is now radiating from Da-Hin’s body is not the magical energy of an ordinary monster.

That’s why I couldn’t relieve the tension at every moment.

However, Dincia, who has regained her senses thanks to Hahyunt, quickly withdraws her deadly red magic… and slowly approaches Hahyunt, who is in tears, to calm her down.

Ssss..

“I’m sorry. you..”

Dincia, who was holding Hahyant’s trembling hand, gently stroked his cheek and spoke.

“I’d like to talk to my son alone for a moment…”

“Don’t worry. Nothing like what just happened will happen.”

After seeing Dincia’s blue eyes looking at her as warmly as always, Hahyunt wipes away her tears with her touch, then nods and decides to leave.

“I believe in you..”

***

So, I was left alone with my mother.

just as expected. The moment my mother’s murderous spirit was lifted… I had barely regained my senses, so I ended up in this uncomfortable situation.

When my mother, whom I had loved and cherished for so long, looked at me with a deathly look in her eyes… I was honestly so sad.

‘I feel frustrated…’

It may have been even more painful because I believed that they would understand my situation and accept it as is.

It was just sad, scary, and scary.

Perhaps because these emotions were flooding me, my hands began to tremble. Now it felt so uncomfortable to even look into my mother’s eyes.

＂Son..＂

Dincia, who saw the fear in her son’s eyes that she had never seen before in her life… slowly approaches her son, even though she deeply regrets what she has done.

Turf.. plod.. plod..

The thought that I would definitely get scolded made me feel intimidated again.

Seueuugh.. Kkook.!

But… rather than scolding me for doing this, my mother just quietly hugged me without saying a word.

＂How much hardship must you have suffered so far..＂

＂I’m sorry that your mother didn’t recognize you. Son…”

How scared and fearful Dahyun must have been as she was forced to live her own life..

The moment she saw her son’s expression like that… Dincia’s heart couldn’t help but sink.

“really really.. ”

“I’m sorry, son.”

Mother’s tears hit my face! and falls.

“I can’t believe you. I’m sorry…”

As always, when I felt my mother’s warm embrace, the sadness and tears I had been holding in for so long poured out like an explosion, blurring my vision.

＂Uh, mother..＂

Dincia couldn’t help but feel guilty for doubting her son even for a moment and forgive herself for trying to threaten such a delicate being, but even so, Dincia couldn’t leave Dahyun, who was so strongly hugged by her, shedding tears of guilt. I swallow and give him a warm pat on the back.

Pat.. Pat..

Thinking back on how he had grown so wonderfully as if he had become a completely different person at some point… Dincia’s heart only grew even more hateful.

Sigh..

Then, Dahein and Dincia quietly touch each other’s foreheads.

It wasn’t a very meaningful action, but to me, how calming this action was… I decided to close my eyes and accept the feeling of calmness.

“I love you. Son…”

＂Will you forgive this mother..?＂

As I was able to feel the peace of family and my mother’s love once again, my heart calmed down as if it had never happened before, and we slowly looked into each other’s eyes and smiled.

“I love you, mother.”

Black hair that looks like it is looking down at the dark night sky.

Like two blue moonlight eyes rising between them.

Dahuin’s expression was finally able to show complete calm.
