I squinted my eyes open.
The quality of the hologram screen wasn’t great. The image stuttered continuously, and coarse noise occasionally swept across the middle of the video. However, I could still clearly make out the face of the man lying in the bed.
His bones were gaunt.
It looked as if his skin was barely hanging on.
He was lying flat on the bed with a respirator attached. The heart monitor beside the bed displayed an irregular graph. Even at a glance, he was clearly unconscious. There was no sign he would open his eyes.
The face was so different from the one I knew.
It was only after checking multiple times that I could finally accept it.
The young man in that bed was me.
With a distant look, she stared at the man in the bed.
“Does that mean I can go back?”
Yurnet furrowed her brow.
“It’s not entirely unprecedented. El Cid was similar.”
Yurnet took a short, deep breath and continued her explanation.
“So I was originally supposed to be fused with Seris. But instead, my body crossed over on its own?”
And to a place completely unrelated to Niflheimr.
Yurnet rubbed her lips.
Then, in a low voice, she said:
“That’s not really important. We were talking about whether I can return to Earth.”
Yurnet gave a brief nod.
“Seven Star.”
I muttered softly.
If there’s anybody capable of withstanding dimensional pressure, that’s the only possibility.
If there were no method at all, they wouldn’t have brought this up with me.
“……”
I grabbed the glass of water on the table and took a sip.
Absorb Townia’s interference power. That means clearing the mission up to the 90th floor.
Only after that can I become a Seven Star and even start talking about returning home.
Gulp.
Even after finishing the glass of water in one go, my thirst wasn’t quenched.
Rather, my insides felt like they were burning.
Yurnet lowered her gaze.
“I don’t have anything like that.”
I chuckled as I watched Yurnet fluster.
“Why are you apologizing? I never told you about it.”
<......>
“Anyway, you’re saying there’s a way to return.”
I let out a deep sigh.
Since arriving here, I had received so much help from them, but I’d never given anything back.
Am I just going to keep receiving until the end?
Yurnet twirled her left hand.
Another hologram window popped up. It was a mobile banking account screen.
The account holder’s name was Han Seojin–my real name on Earth.
‘Shin-X Bank, huh.’
Well, I don’t use that bank anymore after switching.
I glanced down.
[11X – 35X – 2268XX]
[Balance: W10,000,000,000]
10 billion won?
I thought I had misread it and checked again. But I hadn’t.
“You gathered all this yourself?”
Yurnet gave a slight smile and nodded.
“……”
I let out a hollow laugh.
That’s far from ‘modest success.’
I had saved up a decent sum doing MyTube broadcasts, but Yurnet’s gift was on a completely different scale. With this, I could live extravagantly anywhere forever.
‘Forgetting everything about this place…’
Yurnet smiled gently.
“……”
I closed my eyes.
If what Yurnet and the Prince said was true, then there’s no hope here.
No matter what is done, destruction cannot be reversed.
And soon, the server will collapse, and the entire universe will be engulfed in darkness.
‘If that happens…’
It’s not just Townia.
All the heroes of Niflheimr, every waiting room, countless assistant fairies, and monsters–they’ll all disappear.
Every being that lived and breathed in this game would vanish.
‘Forget all this and return to Earth?’
What happens if I don’t go back?
