Chapter Index

    The ground and senses were connected to the manifested Mount Tai.

    The soil, stones, ores below, and the trees and grass rooted in the ground came into my senses at a glance, as if they were in my hands.

    The vitality contained within it was also recognized.

    ‘hmm…’

    The perception and interference of vitality through Taesan was limited to ‘I’ and ‘the earth’.

    Other factors are difficult to recognize and interfere with.

    Is this what Ji-yeon Lee said is a subcategory of earth manipulation?

    The vitality of elements other than the earth was not well recognized, and manipulation was possible only when control over the earth was established.

    ‘In the original work, Lee Ji-yeon and the matriarch of Taesan were able to interfere with the outside world. It’s a disadvantage that can be overcome depending on skill level.’

    Control the vitality little by little and bring it out. I take the vitality of the surrounding earth and pour it into my body.

    My body became hot.

    My whole body felt hot, as if I had been immersed in boiling water. Soon, steam was rising from my body.

    ‘yet…’

    Vitality, vitality, energy, energy… it doesn’t matter what you call it.

    The energy that life must have slowly seeped into my body.

    The body was already full of life. It was already well-charged, and Ji-yeon Lee’s body was suddenly filled with vitality.

    My body trembled as if appealing to its limits. A feeling of reluctance arose, as if nausea was rising to spit out the contents that had been consumed in excess.

    I held back. I caught the vitality that was trying to escape and pushed it back. Instead of rejecting the coming vitality, I forcefully brought it in.

    – Guguguguguk…

    At some point, the vitality that seemed to burst out at any moment was quickly consumed.

    At the same time, pain was felt. An unusual twisting sound resounded within my body.

    The skeleton creaked. The bones twisted and grew. The bundles of muscles covering him broke and reconnected repeatedly.

    ‘Uh… it hurts more than I thought?’

    I frowned. I thought there might be pain, but when I felt the pain, I felt bad.

    I had no choice but to sharpen my mind and endure the pain.

    My body has changed. The vitality that had nowhere to go clung to the container containing the contents.

    The bowl, which had become small due to a lack of materials, was gradually expanded. The skeleton, muscles, and body, which were lacking somewhere, grew quickly.

    The pain was getting worse.

    I let time pass by with my eyes tightly closed.

    How much time has passed?

    “Phew…”

    Suddenly, breathing became easier. I consciously exhaled and inhaled. There is no pain.

    Rather than feeling pain, it was full of exhilaration. The air in my lungs almost felt sweet.

    ‘That’s it.’

    [pleasure]

    [Joy]

    Bashish smiled.

    My appearance as observed was different from before.

    Overall impression… The pure white hair and facial features are the same, but he has grown as if he is older.

    I massaged and patted my forearm. My limbs became much longer and I grew taller.

    I observed carefully to see if there was anything strange. There was nothing wrong. There was no strange growth anywhere.

    I have previously experienced something similar to a bone metamorphosis.

    Although we were unable to measure his physical abilities due to his youth, we confirmed that the quality of his horsepower and the condition of his circuits and core had improved significantly.

    Now that your body has returned to normal, you can measure your physical abilities in training.

    Also, your height must have grown during the body optimization process. How big has it become?

    I interpreted the information with a bright smile.

    [Fuck]

    All it takes is for it to return to its original state.

    Let’s think positively.

    He crumpled his head and pounded the ground.

    .

    .

    .

    The land that was showing signs of being drained of life and deterioration was buried, and fresh soil was placed on top and mixed evenly to clean up the surrounding area.

    I left the external training area and entered the commercial area.

    I checked the time for a moment. It’s late for lunch. It is difficult to eat well as there will soon be training time with the teacher.

    I put my hand inside my clothes and took out a handful of calorie bars stored in the void.

    ‘It’s been a while since I ate.’

    This is the product I bought a lot at the beginning of the semester.

    I used to fill my stomach with this even in China, but after returning, I only ate tasteless but decent food and porridge day and night.

    Since the time was uncertain, I roughly opened the package, stuffed it in my mouth, and walked toward the training center.

    I stood tall on my two legs and walked. It was very comfortable to leave my body to the spirits and float around, but I walked myself to feel my body returning to normal.

    My attention was drawn to my appearance like that.

    In a way, it was natural.

    A child who was so small just a few days ago… or even a few hours ago, has grown by leaps and bounds.

    Look at that gaze. It was no longer like looking at a child. It’s not like they’re worried about a lost child left on the side of the road!

    I just looked at this direction blankly, as if I was curious.

    ‘Hehe…’

    I shrugged my shoulders at him. I am no longer treated like a child. I proudly straightened my shoulders and walked briskly.

    As if to express my mood, the feathers of the sky’s wings fluttered, soaking up the sunlight.

    * * *

    Atra blinked blankly and stared at Lee Ha-yul, who was standing right in front of him.

    [Voila!]

    Lee Ha-yul, who had just arrived, smiled brightly and spread her hands up.

    The appearance, as if bragging about something, was like a small, pure white bird spreading its wings wide.

    After that, even her winged clothes glowed and swayed subtly, making it a sight that could easily be called a fairy from a fairy tale.

    There was quite a difference from Lee Ha-yul, whom I saw this morning.

    Although he was still cute and lovely, he had grown up a lot from his youthful appearance.

    The pure white body hair and magical power are the same, but the age range has changed.

    If I were to be honest, I got closer to my original size.

    Was that why I asked for your understanding, saying I might be a little late today?

    Atra blankly assessed the situation.

    Perhaps because he was dissatisfied with the response, Lee Ha-yul suddenly puffed out his cheeks, flapped his wings… and shook his arms.

    [Complete resurrection!]

    [Not a child anymore!]

    The necklace clicked and a voice was released. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but to Atra’s ears, the bluntness seemed to be mixed with some unknown joy and anticipation.

    [I said]

    [I’ll be back soon]

    ah…

    The time I spent with Lee Ha-yul has increased considerably. As time passed and Lee Ha-yul’s childishness and charm increased, it became easier to read his thoughts.

    To infer, he was complaining about why I didn’t believe him when I told him I would be back soon.

    Clearly, Atra was suspicious of that statement at the time. What makes you younger is that you become younger. How can you come back?

    “Yes. I guess I was wrong.”

    Atra burst out laughing.

    It’s so cute that he’s been suppressing his pain until now, but as soon as his body comes back, he rushes over and starts complaining.

    With that feeling, I hugged Lee Ha-yul who was right in front of me.

    Although he boasted that he had grown up, his small body was still buried in Atra’s arms.

    “I’m sorry that you don’t believe what your disciple said.”

    [Hihi]

    Lee Ha-yul twitched the corners of his mouth and buried his face in Atra’s arms.

    As my head and back were gently stroked, the slight lumps melted away.

    “……”

    Atra carefully observed Lee Ha-yul’s facial expressions.

    It’s not that it’s not, it’s summer now. The sun’s light has become more intense, the air has become warmer, and sweat naturally forms even when standing still.

    Of course, I feel the super Indian heat.

    Even a superhuman who is fine in a fire pit without burning a single inch of his flesh feels ‘heat’ under the scorching sun.

    Even Atla, a top-tier hero, felt the heat and was sweating.

    In particular, the body temperature rises and I sweat a lot, especially when I consider cutting off a lump of flesh that I thought was unnecessarily large.

    If that happens, difficulties naturally arise.

    In the past… I didn’t really need to worry about that kind of thing, but since I became involved with Lee Ha-yul, I’ve been taking care of it consistently.

    I glanced at Lee Ha-yul with concern.

    …Lee Ha-yul didn’t seem to think anything of it.

    Even though she had her face buried between her breasts, instead of showing any signs of displeasure, she looked like she was digging in and saying it was good.

    “Sniff…”

    Atra, who was secretly sighing in relief, suddenly felt a sweet scent rising from below.

    Atra’s eyes became strange.

    Below… It was the scent coming from Lee Ha-yul in her arms. For some reason, the ever-increasing scent made me feel dizzy.

    “…Hmm.”

    Gradually, I gathered my mind from becoming dazed.

    Atra cleared her throat loudly, letting go of the dark desire she had been harboring for a moment.

    Immediately after, he gently stroked Lee Ha-yul’s head and tidied up her slightly disheveled hair.

    [lol]

    Lee Ha-yul showed a smile like sunshine, which had increased significantly recently, and put his head into Atra’s touch.

    Even though he declared that he was no longer a child, I laughed at his spoiled appearance.

    Above all, a few days ago, when he appeared with horns on his forehead, he was truly a pure child.

    – [Three-headed dog?]

    – yes yes…? What dog?

    “Quukkeut.”

    I suppressed a smile at a memory that suddenly came to mind. The sight of Liana still screaming in shock is clear.

    Even if you don’t remember this, it will serve as a means to subdue a guy who has been drinking alcohol for years and is trying to tell the truth.

    “Your body has returned to normal, so there should be no problem with getting in.”

    [yes!]

    [As long as you complete the adaptation training before then, there will be no problem!]

    “There are only two weeks left until we enter the tower, so let’s get used to it and become proficient before then.”

    [yes]

    Lee Ha-yul nodded firmly at the word Iptop.

    We have clearly felt the limits of our power even in China, so we need to grow as much as possible in this entry.

    ‘The theme is contemplation… Fortunately, there won’t be any fights between things with all their arms and legs.’

    The priests laid their bodies on top of each other for a while, feeling each other’s body heat.

    Even though Lee Ha-yul’s body returned to normal, it was a procedure that did not change.

    * * *

    After finishing work, I returned to the dormitory.

    I entered the dormitory building as I crossed the floor where the glow of the sunset slowly spread.

    The others still had lectures left, and I was scheduled to practice in the dormitory.

    I took the elevator and got off on the floor of my dorm.

    Immediately after, it walked briskly, showing signs of killing.

    -…? …! …!

    A sense of presence. Although I was confused, I suppressed the laughter that was about to burst out at the joyful reaction.

    So I arrived in front of the dormitory door. The presence beyond took my breath away.

    In the end, I smiled and held the smartwatch to the authentication device.

    [Cadet Lee Ha-ryul, certified]

    With an alarm sound, the door slid open into the wall.

    “Dad!”

    Immediately after, the pure white thing that had been hiding behind the door suddenly rushed out.

    As I had prepared in advance, I gently accepted the child who jumped in. Five-colored wings were flapping frantically.

    The face buried in my arms flashed up. A question mark appeared in his bright white eyes.

    “…Dad has grown up!”

    [It’s back to normal]

    The identity of the attacker was Seoyul.

    Seoyul, who had joy, joy… and embarrassment flowing from her eyes, buried her face in my arms.

    The very warm welcome made me smile.

    “Have you been there, master?”

    As I was saying hello to Seoyul, Ariel, dressed in a modern maid outfit, walked lightly from inside.

    “…You’ve grown really quickly.”

    [Thank you today as well. Ariel]

    “I just did my duty.”

    When Ariel saw me, her eyes widened in a rare surprise.

    However, he soon regained his expressionless face and lowered his head slightly.

    Should I say FM? In the public sphere, he is a very trustworthy person. After expressing his gratitude once again, he patted Seoyul on the back.

    [Seoyul]

    [Did you listen carefully to what Ariel said?]

    “Yes! I ate well too. I brushed my teeth and studied hard!”

    [I did everything carefully]

    [good job! Great!]

    When I asked while carefully arranging the hair that had become disheveled from jumping in, Seoyul, who was somewhat sullen, quickly chattered like a lark and reported on the day’s routine.

    Of course, you can find out everything by reading the observation records, but isn’t this process of listening and talking to each other important?

    “And…!”

    [oh…]

    [It must have been very difficult! How did Seoyul…]

    Since ancient times, praise can make even whales dance. I learned that children need plenty of praise…

    I held Seoyul in my arms and entered the dormitory. I didn’t forget to listen to every word and give generous compliments.

    ‘…mom…’

    And, I broke into a cold sweat as I checked Seoyul’s condition in my mind.

    Legs that don’t have any problems even when running and jumping…

    Now, there are no pronunciation problems, words that flow fluently, and vocabulary that is used exponentially…

    ‘You’re growing very fast…?’

    I broke into a cold sweat as I observed the condition of Seoyul, who was growing rapidly.

    We haven’t done much yet, but the child is growing so fast…

    ‘I need to make a lot of memories when I was young…’

    Isn’t this a fairy whose childhood is really short? If you have emotions and happiness that can only be felt when you are young, it will be difficult to grow up quickly.

    “Heehee.”

    As if Seoyul didn’t know about my concerns, she just smiled brightly as if she was enjoying this moment.

    Widely spread multi-colored wings were entangled with blue feathers.
