I Picked a Mobile From Another World

Episode 268 [Another world?(1)]

Ugh.

A black hemisphere covered the summit of Mt. Baekdu.

The black sphere was clearly visible from satellite even in the southern town of Samjiyeon, where survivors were gathered.

Ministers from each country watched the black sphere with their own eyes through satellite images and the survivors gathered in Samjiyeon town.

Wooooow.

The black sphere shrank little by little.

And it gradually changed its shape.

The shaking dimension and space gradually became stable.

The sphere gradually became flatter.

Finally, in a thin plate shape. No, it turned into a black plate floating in the air.

The pattern that was originally floating in that spot was invisible as it was buried in the black plate, and the lake underneath the pattern was invisible. There was no trace of water on the heavens and earth.

A military drone approached the crater.

[It looks like a hole.]

[It’s very big.]

The voices of the heads of state and ministers of each country were heard from several monitors.

Jin Xiawei pursed her lips as she listened to their conversation.

They were only worried about the hole left on Mt. Baekdu.

Of course, when I was watching the fight, I felt sad and mourned the deaths of people, but now it seemed like all those memories had been erased.

If she were in their shoes, she might have to, but she wanted to run to Mt. Baekdu right now.

[Damn, I went through all that trouble and still have something like that left. Can’t you tell what that is?]

But when she heard the Russian president’s voice, she realized she was mistaken.

She was no different from the people talking now.

The Russian president’s favorite daughter fought on Mt. Baekdu and barely survived.

In this era, there was no one who was not involved in fighting monsters.

She herself wanted to run to Mt. Baekdu, but she was only here guarding Gyeonghoon’s control room.

While chatting about the black sphere, a voice interrupted.

[It’s a dimension door.]

It was Eve’s voice.

“You’re alive!”

Jin Xiawei grabbed the microphone and shouted in a bright voice.

She continued to worry.

This was because contact with Eve was lost after being trapped in the black sphere.

“Did you escape through spatial movement? So Kyung-hoon is also next to you?”

[…]

Eve was unable to answer Jin Xiawei’s question for a moment.

Crackling.

Eve closed the public channel and connected exclusively with Jin Xiawei.

[…The master was caught in a portal. I think it will take time to come back.]

It was a very ambiguous expression.

Jin Xiawei’s expression hardened.

Knowing that Eve was an artificial intelligence, she demanded a clear answer from Eve.

“Then what are the odds that you’ll come back late?”

[….It’s not that big.]

Eve didn’t say the exact probability until the end.

Jin Xiawei understood what Eve meant.

It meant that the probability was very slim, close to zero.

But Jin Xiawei also had the same thoughts as Eve.

“If it’s Kyung-hoon… it might take some time.”

If it wasn’t for the spirit, I couldn’t give up.

[Me, Shane, Bailey, and Dahee Awakened are currently in Ulleungdo. The master summoned us to Ulleungdo for the last time. Jin Xiawei, please gather people quickly. You must come to Ulleungdo through the portal.]

Eve was retelling the story that Gyeonghoon had told her before he left for Mt. Baekdu.

Jin Xiawei looked at the monitor. The black hole at the top of Mt. Baekdu filled the screen.

“Is that dangerous?”

[Yes.]

Eve answered firmly.

[Depending on the situation, you may have to go to EV Island or the UK via Ulleungdo.]

What Eve said was that not only Seoul but also Ulleungdo might be dangerous.

“all right.”

Jin Xiawei answered with a stern face.

It was something Kyung-hoon asked for. And that was why she was here in the control room instead of Kyung-hoon.

Then I had to move right away.

She immediately turned around and left the control room on the top floor of [World Gold].

Crackling.

Jin Xiawei, who was leaving the control room, heard Eve switching back to the public channel.

[This is a portal connected to the world that summoned monarch-level monsters. Considering its size, it appears that it will last for more than a few weeks to several months.] The

murmur of conversation disappeared at Eve’s words.

[You’re not summoning just one monster?]

[Monsters aren’t going to keep pouring out of that hole, right?]

Instead, a scream-like question came out, but Eve continued to pour out what she had to say.

[You’d better expect the worst. This is the portal that the monster tried to open until the very end. As initially expected, there is a high possibility that a monster larger than an overlord will pop out.]

It wasn’t a big deal. In the other world, on Mt. Baekdu, an overlord-level monster was sleeping.

It was clear that the monster would come out first.

[It cannot be defended with the current number of personnel. First, people must evacuate as far away from Mt. Baekdu as possible.]

Eve’s words were no different from telling people to run away at all costs.

The heads of each country were left speechless by EV’s advice.

After a while, the Korean president asked a question.

[Which direction do you think the main force will head?]

The direction from which the monsters attacked from that world

was [….most likely to the south.]

It was south.

*

A black hole also appeared in the crater of Mt. Baekdu in another world.

A wide black hole was spread out over the bubbling lava lake.

Overlord of Mt. Baekdu. Now, a giant dragon-shaped monster has risen from its body submerged in lava.

Now it was time to go.

The servant who created the portal died, but eventually succeeded in opening the door.

Now it was time to move on to a new level.

The monster raised its head.

And then I started sending out images to the world.

[Come here. Gather together. This is my command.]

A huge image began to spread in all directions.

The image dispersed the clouds and created a wind.

The monsters raised their heads. Many

of the monsters on the Korean

Peninsula, as well as monsters in Manchuria and Siberia, began moving toward Mt. Baekdu.

The monster, who had risen to the level of an overlord or higher, felt the moving monsters and expressed satisfaction.

Anyway, the humans from the other world even killed the subordinate who was making the door. These were people who could kill an overlord.

The more troops the better.

But there was no reason to wait until everyone was together.

[Everyone follow me to the new world!]

After sending out the image again, the monster approached the black hole portal.

Clap clap clap clap.

Lava splashed everywhere.

A monster stood beneath the portal.

Slur.

The heavy monster’s body came out of the lava little by little.

It was no ordinary portal. This black hole was a summoning gate.

A powerful summoning statement that can attract even the Baekdu Mountain monster.

Fluffy.

The monster’s body gradually rose and began to be sucked into the portal.

The strongest monster with the highest rank has begun to cross dimensions.

***

Kyung-Hoon woke up from fainting and was floating through thin air.

I couldn’t tell how much time had passed.

No, it may be that time does not pass in this room.

The place where Kyung-Hoon is now is a black universe. It was a place called a dimensional gap.

‘Is there a dimensional gap? ‘I can’t see any portals.’

I looked everywhere, but there was no starlight to be seen, only darkness.

It was originally a place full of sparkling portals.

I have never seen anything like this before.

‘Is it because of the runaway?’

But it didn’t seem like the characteristics were lost.

Although my physical condition was not good, I was still able to create a path and move.

But since I couldn’t see the portal anywhere, I couldn’t decide where to go.

To be honest, I couldn’t tell whether it was up or down.

I couldn’t tell if I was still or moving.

No matter how he looked at it, this was not the space between dimensions he knew.

It could have come from other dimensions he didn’t know about, or it could have come from another universe and a different time period.

In the end, I won with the worst result.

He had become a lost child in another dimension.

“shit.”

After swearing so much that no one could hear, Kyung-Hoon created a path in the universe.

I didn’t know the direction or my current location, but I couldn’t stay still.

I was planning on moving at least until the last moment.

I made a path and proceeded along it.

I felt pain every time I moved my mana. But he kept moving forward.

He continued along the endless road.

Keep going.

Time continued to pass.

No, time did not pass.

I wasn’t hungry, my wounds weren’t healing, and my mana was the same.

No, a long time has passed.

Numerous thoughts passed through his head.

I even gave up counting. I gave up

recalling memories,

imagining things, and

getting lost in memories.

But he didn’t stop.

I couldn’t stop.

I didn’t live that way or learn that way.

And there were people waiting for him. Either

in a moment

or after eons.

He could finally feel the change.

Wooooow.

The long line that continued all the way to the end began to bend little by little.

Surprised, he tried to stop on the spot, but he couldn’t.

A huge force was pushing him.

A powerful force was pulling him down.

Huge gravity. A force like a black hole pulled him in.

It was incredible speed.

Tremendous speed that seems to transcend time and space.

“Ugh!”

Kyung-hoon screamed.

I felt like my body was being torn apart.

The all-black space seemed to be distorted.

My senses were distorted and time became tangled.

But even in the pain, I could not feel fear. He was not afraid of the powerful force that sucked him in and pushed him away.

During the crazy fall, he even had visions.

Kyung-hoon, wearing an outfit I had never seen before, passed before my eyes.

A slightly older man was smiling at himself.

After the unfamiliar image of myself disappeared, I saw the back of a child.

A young boy wearing the same clothes he wore at the orphanage.

It was clearly a reflection of his childhood.

The child also grew further away.

Fortunately, the fantasy ended there.

After the illusion passed, the power that had sucked him in gradually eased.

The space that had been distorted and the sense of wandering gradually returned to normal.

And the power that moved him left Gyeonghoon.

A dark space surrounded Kyung-hoon again.

It was the same as before. There was only black space everywhere.

There was no starlight anywhere…

no, just a small light was blinking.

“Could it be a portal?”

Kyunghoon’s eyes widened and his mouth opened.

He followed the frantic, flickering light.

And shot along the road. I couldn’t miss it.

The light got closer and closer.

The light was dim and flickering, but

it was clearly a portal.

Kyung-hoon hit the portal with all his might.

Light enveloped his body and he lost consciousness for a moment.

***

I forgot. Flash.

Kyung-hoon kept closing and opening his eyes with a blank face.

I felt like I was half asleep.

‘It’s definitely the ceiling…’

His eyes saw a clean ceiling.

It was the first time I had seen the ceiling. But it was a ceiling like I had seen before somewhere.

“Ah!”

Only then did he regain his memory and quickly stood up. He

had returned! To the place where people lived!

He was about to scream in joy, but suddenly stopped moving. He

turned his eyes and looked around.

This was not a small room. There were

no people in sight.

Clean walls and floors. Cleanly maintained electronic equipment and machines.

This place was like some kind of science laboratory.

Kyunghoon stiffened at the memory that came to mind.

Although this was definitely the first time he had seen this scene, this place was like a science laboratory. It was not the first time he had come to this place.

It remained in his memory.

Old walls. Broken and abandoned machinery and electronic equipment.

It looked completely different, but Kyung-hoon had seen this room and that equipment before.

This was the place where Kyung-hoon first moved to another dimension. One place was clear.
