Chapter 1
Episode 1. Return
‘Life sucks.’
This was the thought that came to mind when I saw my brother handing me an eviction order with a sneer.
“Looking at your expression, I guess you didn’t know at all?”
“…Why am I kicked out?”
Baek Woo-jin held back the curse that was about to come out and asked the reason.
“Are you asking because you really don’t know?”
Sixth brother Baek Ho-jung’s sneer became stronger. He waved the expulsion order he was holding as if teasing Baek Woo-jin.
“Why would you do that? Because you are trash and do not fit in with this family. yes.”
Baek Ho-jung continued, jerking his fingers as if trying to make Baek Woo-jin even more angry.
“You know that. “Our family is not a kind and warm family that would keep a fool like you around.”
Baek Ho-jung issued an ejection order. The blown order fell at Baek Woo-jin’s feet.
“How embarrassed we would be if it were known that the youngest member of the Shingeombaek family was trash that could not be collected. “I have to throw it away before it smells.”
“Ugh…”
Baek Woo-jin bit his teeth until they broke and clenched his fist until it bled.
“Did you know that there were only three people who opposed your expulsion?”
“Father…”
“You’re asking a stupid question. “Do you think this order can be issued without your father’s permission?”
“Huh…”
Baek Woo-jin raised his head and let out a rough breath. It’s truly a place where you fall in love.
A cold and cold family whose only thing is talent and power. A very shitty family!
“So, if you don’t have any talent, you just spend your life cleaning other people’s shit. What are you training to do? You achieved level 1 ability at the age of 24. Do you know at what age I achieved it? I’m 14 years old. “14 years old!”
Baek Woo-jin glared at Baek Ho-jung, who was bursting into laughter.
It was unlucky enough to make me nauseous, but it was true. There was no such thing as talent.
I can confidently say that I trained harder than anyone else, but I did not receive any sweet rewards.
“Now that your curiosity has been answered, let’s get started.”
Baek Ho-jung showed his teeth and smiled.
“What do you mean?”
“You have to give up what you received from this family. Did you really think they would just let me go?”
Baekhojung took a step closer and raised two fingers.
“The order is to cut the muscle of the right hand that wields the sword and erase the auror revolving around your heart. “Don’t blame me.”
“What bullshit is that!”
Baek Woo-jin picked up the fallen order.
“Ah…”
That was exactly what Baekhojung said. The order said to sever the muscle vein in his right arm and explode the aura in his heart.
“You crazy people!”
I turned around to run away, but there was nowhere to escape. The White Tiger’s sword belt was holding his back.
“I’m sorry that the last gift I gave to my younger brother who was leaving home was harsh. Hehehe.”
Contrary to what he said, Baek Ho-jung’s face had a happy smile on his face.
“Damn Shingeombaekga….”
**
“I guess we can leave now.”
Baek Woo-jin took the training sword with his left hand and left his single room.
His right hand holding the keys was shaking.
A year has passed since he was kicked out of Shingeombaekga, but the strength in his right arm has still not returned.
Those with recovery abilities were also informed that they would not be able to hold a sword for the rest of their lives.
But Baek Woo-jin did not give up his sword.
He worked during the day and swung his sword with his left hand at night.
There is only one reason why I didn’t give up.
A promise to defeat Shingeombaekga with his own hands.
With that promise alone, Baek Woo-jin did not let go of his sword.
“The sky is not nice today.”
It was my first day off in a long time, so I went out to practice during the day, but the sky was dark as if it was going to rain.
It was time to lower my head, muttering that the weather was bothering me.
Absolutely!
The sound of something breaking in the sky reached his ears.
Jijijijik!
When I raised my head, I saw cracks like spiderwebs in the sky. It was a crack phenomenon where monsters appeared.
“It’s a crack in the rules!”
“Why suddenly!”
“Everyone run away!”
The cracked sky tore open and monsters fell.
There were goblins that were easy to deal with, as well as powerful monsters like ogres and trolls.
“Come this way!”
Baek Woo-jin held the hands of the two children next to him and ran to a place where there were no monsters. Just when he thought he had reached a safe place, a huge shadow appeared over his head.
thud!
An ogre appeared from the crack and fell in front of Baek Woo-jin.
“Krrr…”
The ogre’s red eyes were shiny. This means that Baek Woo-jin and the children were recognized as prey.
“Ah…”
There were two options. Either abandon the children and run away, or hunt down the ogre here.
“shit!”
The choice was quick.
No, there were no options from the beginning. If he ran away leaving his children behind, he was unworthy of holding a sword for the rest of his life.
“run!”
Baek Woo-jin pushed the children to a place where there were no monsters and pulled out his training sword.
‘We need to get closer.’
Because the ogre was a large monster, it had the characteristic of not being able to attack accurately under its feet.
Baek Woo-jin overcame the overwhelming fear and ran to where the ogre’s bridge was.
Phew.
The ogre’s club fell towards Baek Woo-jin’s head.
“Ugh!”
Baek Woo-jin threw himself and barely escaped the stick.
Quang!
Instead of Baek Woo-jin, the asphalt exploded after being hit by a stick.
‘I have to take my time.’
Baek Woo-jin gritted his teeth as he moved between the ogre’s legs.
The Ability Association is nearby. If you take the time, talented people waiting will come.
thud! thud! Coo!
The ogre struck Baek Woo-jin repeatedly with his club, intending to blow him up.
“Huh…”
Baek Woo-jin couldn’t even breathe properly and kept throwing himself.
I don’t know if I developed a talent that I didn’t have, or if a miracle occurred, but I was able to avoid the ogre’s attack by just a piece of paper.
“Kaaaa!”
The ogre, filled with rage, pulled back and swung his club horizontally.
“Ah…”
A sigh came out of Baek Woo-jin’s mouth. It was a speed and direction that could not be avoided.
I couldn’t think of anything, as if my mind was empty.
Kwazijic!
With a sound like a train crashing, Baek Woo-jin’s body flew away, spraying blood.
“Kuhuhuhuh!”
A bloody amount of blood poured out from Baek Woo-jin’s mouth. His arms and upper body were limp.
All the bones in his body were broken.
“Damn it…”
My whole body felt weak, and blood continued to flow from my mouth. The broken bones pierced my organs and I couldn’t breathe.
Coo goo goo.
Ogre raised his foot to finish off Baek Woo-jin.
“Ah…”
I saw a hundred swordsmen cutting down monsters between the ogre’s feet.
Unlike themselves, who had fallen in vain, the prosecutors were quickly dealing with the monsters.
‘I swung the sword a lot more times, so why on earth…’
It was unfair. If the results were worth the effort, you should have been standing there too.
I don’t know why they have such outstanding abilities and why I am lying here dying.
I felt like the world was so unfair.
‘Fuckin’ talent…’
Baek Woo-jin closed his eyes while looking at the swords of the prosecutors.
Ding!
A hologram window appeared above his head as he died.
[Target suitability confirmed.]
[Execute the person who walks the path of the Demonic Sword.]
[Connect the Demonic Sword of Darkness and Baek Woo-jin.]
[You have acquired the title Master of the Demonic Sword.]
**
Dreamer I felt like my head was blank.
“Ah…”
When I opened my eyes, I saw a familiar ceiling. It was the trainees’ dormitory where they lived for 24 years.
“My arms…”
As Baek Woo-jin stood up, he felt that feeling had returned to both of his crushed arms.
It wasn’t just my senses that came back.
My right hand, where the muscle vein had been cut, was gaining strength.
Flap!
I quickly lifted the blanket.
I looked all over, but there wasn’t a single wound.
“Ah…”
Baek Woo-jin looked at his arms with mesmerized eyes.
Beep beep!
I was in a daze and lifted my smartphone when I heard the alarm sound.
[July 5, 2020, 4:00.]
“Hmm?”
Thinking something was wrong with my eyes, I rubbed my eyes and looked at my smartphone again.
[July 5, 2020, 4:01 am]
“Ten years ago?”
I rubbed my eyes until they stung, but there was no change in the date.
2020 is almost 10 years ago when Baek Woo-jin was 15 years old. The calendar hanging on the wall also pointed to July 2020.
“What is this!”
I got out of bed and ran to the full-length mirror on the wall. In the mirror, Baek Woo-jin was reflected, much younger than the last time I saw him.
“Am I crazy?”
Baek Woo-jin stared blankly at his face, which had not even taken off his fur. The breast fat did not go away, and the scars under my eyes that appeared when I was 16 and the scars on my cheek that appeared when I was 18 were gone.
Before his appearance was ruined, he looked exactly the same as when I heard he had a handsome face. Just looking at his height, he had shrunk by more than 20cm.
match!
Baek Woo-jin caressed his face and then suddenly slapped his face. Because I didn’t control my strength, my cheeks swelled red.
“Ugh….”
I could still feel the pain. They said that this crazy situation was real.
-Are you out of your mind to slap yourself?
While he was covering his swollen cheek, a deep voice that he had never heard before penetrated Baek Woo-jin’s eardrums.
