I was lonely.

I was so lonely that I wanted to die, but at the time, I didn’t even understand the concept of ‘death’.

Why do I exist?

As I pondered why I was alone, the fleeting years passed quickly.

In a world filled with nothing but emptiness, what I occupied was just a small space.

No one knows how it came into existence and how it survived without extinction.

It was as if someone had created me there and then forgotten about me.

The more I thought, the more my consciousness gradually expanded.

At the same time, the space I occupied also increased, swallowing up the emptiness.

Before I knew it, my soul body had enlarged to the point of forming a single dimension.

Of course, I didn’t notice that at all at the time.

Because I had nothing to compare my size to.

Because I was alone.

In fact, I didn’t know that I was alone or lonely.

I learned all that when I discovered light in the void.

When I discovered ‘something other than myself’.

It wasn’t until then that I finally felt loneliness.

“Why are you so dazed?”

[Ugh…]

In a flash, my eyes opened.

I was lost in thoughts about the past for a moment.

When I look around, the world is all blue and green.

It is a world where green land and sky spread endlessly.

I immediately felt a sense of foreignness.

The most unusual thing among them is the huge tree that fills the field of vision.

Did you say it was a world tree?

It is truly a majestic tree that protects this land.

[The sacred trees of humans that I destroyed…]

I slowly approached, dragging the magic stone, and placed my hand on the trunk of the world tree.

I feel the heartbeat.

I feel like I am alive and breathing.

Then a boiling emotion came over me.

[thank god······. I am very fortunate…]

I thought I had done something that could not be undone.

I thought I had scratched a wound that could never be healed.

However, humans were much stronger than I thought.

Those tiny and fragile-looking creatures succeeded in stopping me.

He succeeded in forcing me, who had difficulty communicating, into a body with which I could communicate.

[I didn’t try to understand you…]

Looking back, it was a stupid thing to do.

If the person I don’t communicate with strongly rejects me, shouldn’t I have thought that there was a reasonable reason?

But at that time, I was just suffering from paranoia that someone was interfering with me.

Never once did I try to understand the other person.

Just do your best to get closer to this world.

All I could do was spread my will and add manpower.

Without even knowing how much that will and power pollutes and destroys this world…

[But how much sacrifice did you guys make to understand me…]

I couldn’t erase the feeling that I was living like a puppet my whole life.

I feel as if I have a certain role.

In order to fulfill that role, it seemed as if he had taken on the fate of not being able to communicate normally with anyone else.

But I never even tried to escape that fate.

What would you do if you had enormous power?

It can only be wielded within a set framework.

But Eugene was different.

Humans were different.

I tried to resist fate and break out of the mold.

The result is this.

Understanding the other person you couldn’t understand.

I am feeling the warmth of a world that I thought would never be reached.

It feels like a dream.

It was Eugene who made that dream a reality.

[I want to pay it back. I want to repay my debt to you all who have given me so much. What should I do?]

“Nothing much. As long as you don’t get into trouble and just enjoy your newfound life, everyone, including me, will be satisfied. Because I brought you here just to see that.”

[is it······.]

You just want to see me live happily?

I couldn’t find the slightest lie in Eugene when he said that.

He is a person who does not lie in the first place.

Is it because I kept regressing and telling too many lies?

It looks like he’s tired of lies now.

[You are truly so kind…]

It warms my heart.

Tears flowed down my face.

It’s a body that can’t shed tears.

Tears appeared from nowhere and endlessly moistened my cheeks.

.

.

In a void where there is only darkness.

In that black space, there was something small and shining.

A fragment of will that fell from a dimensional body called Draken a long time ago.

The fragment glimmered dimly and swam in the void.

A small planet was caught in the field of view of the fragments.

A planet in a distant dimension.

It was a planet so far away that it was impossible to approach it with the fragments’ remaining energy.

The field of view expanded and expanded again.

And that’s when we finally captured the planet’s wind-up machine.

The faintly glowing fragment gradually lost its light.

[Bere-ting-new-wing-ring-ring-ring-bell-bell-bell-tta-ryeop-mal-si-kyak-keop-rung-geop-dryeop]

A fragment that crackles and spits out a bizarre language.

As the fragments lose energy, their very existence becomes blurred.

It was the moment when it scattered into the void and disappeared.

Time passed really quickly.

If you think about it, it is the same as the wedding of the heads of state of each country.

This means that you can over-prepare, but you cannot be under-prepared.

Since there are cultural differences between each country and each tribe, the issue of wedding preparation quickly turned into a battle of pride.

What way is it done, what tradition does it follow, where does it take place, even who starts taking it…

No matter how a compromise was presented, everyone seemed dissatisfied.

They say everyone is getting along well and working together now.

The gulf between races and nations was much deeper than I thought.

There was only one solution.

“What? Do you want to do it the way Eugene’s hometown did?”

“Yes. Let’s do it the way the world I left behind. Wouldn’t that be fair?”

“Hmm…”

The wives’ eyes narrowed.

Faces that seem quite interesting.

The wives, who were looking at each other, nodded one by one.

“Good. If that’s the case, well.”

“Trigram, I think it will be okay…”

“If that’s the case, I’m satisfied. By the way, what kind of world is Eugene from?”

A deep sigh escaped Yerina’s curious question.

Now that I think about it, I’ve never told my wives about the place I came from.

Until now, I had just been alone and secretly longing.

Now I feel like I can open up to my wives.

“Now. The world I came from…”

“Eujin, you look like a grandfather talking about old times!”

“Now. Quietly.”

A place where I gave up on returning.

He began to tell me the story of where I originally lived.

A place that resembles this place but is completely different.

As I listened to each story, the wives responded in different ways.

Jill sat quietly and listened with interest.

Every time a technical topic comes up, Julia questions whether it makes sense or not.

Yerina seems quite shocked to hear that Suin is a fantasy there.

“Up until now, I thought Eugene was simply a foreigner…”

“Me too. So, did Eugene have to suddenly say goodbye to the people in his hometown?”

“What. Yes, but…”

“I was planning on asking Eugene to go to his hometown with me someday…! Ahhh!”

The scene has already become a sea of tears.

No, this is my story, but why do they feel more sad?

I was quite embarrassed too.

‘Is there really no way back?’

Now you can freely split space and jump through dimensions.

Previously, the underworld was very far away, but now you can visit it in an instant, like visiting a neighbor’s house.

Of course, the thought of seeing the face of the Underworld would give me goosebumps, so I wouldn’t go near it.

Anyway, my ability to manipulate manpower has become that much stronger.

In the case of the Underworld God, although his strength is great, his body is so heavy that he is crushed by strong manpower.

Since I have comparable strength in a relatively light human body, I can jump around much more easily.

So if I split the dimension again, wouldn’t the world I originally lived in come out? I’ve also had this thought.

I thought I could use this power to get there on my own…

Wrong.

The force itself is not felt at all.

No matter what object it is, you can feel even a faint gravitational force.

I can’t sense the pull from the world I left behind at all.

It’s strange.

There are so many connections there.

“I guess I can never go back. It looks like I’m completely disconnected from that side.”

There is no way to go back.

I am even relieved to come to such a conclusion.

I hugged my wives who were in tears and was greatly comforted.

‘Is it really not there? really?’

But when I try to give up, the regret lingers again.

really? Should I really give up?

Is there no way to go back?
