chapter 497
497 – Abduction) Unexpected transition
ㅡFully… !
Something heavy falls on the bed located at the back of the room. So much so that the bed and mattress creaked a lot.
At first, I thought a light had gone off.
As expected, the room was dark.
Only the monitor light illuminates the room.
But what fell on the bed was not a light or anything.
“Whoa? Oh go go go… … !”
A faint sound of drooling is heard.
At the same time, something catches my eye.
Inyoung is lying on the bed in a slumped position.
“… what? “Seo, really?”
I couldn’t help but be surprised by this.
It was a familiar voice.
The lights were off in the room, so it was dark,
I was able to roughly guess who it was just by the voice.
“Huh? W, where are we… … ?”
The voice of a young and cheerful girl.
There was nothing to think deeply about.
As soon as I heard it, I could immediately recognize whose voice it was.
“Derke?”
It was like that. The identity of the girl who fell onto the bed after me was none other than Derke.
I don’t know how you followed me,
Derke is lying upside down on the bed.
Perhaps because he was following me in a hurry, he lost his balance and crash-landed like this.
Derke, caught between the bed and the wall, swings his legs in a handstand position.
“Could it be my brother..?! Uh, please take Derke out quickly!”
“Oh, wait a minute!”
ㅡSuddenly… !
I immediately got up and grabbed Derke’s ankles. To raise the upside-down derke upright.
‘… huh? But were Derke’s legs originally this long?’
But something felt strange.
Apparently Derke is right,
Overall, it looked somewhat familiar yet awkward.
That’s right… … .
“Ouch..! “I almost died from dizzy death!”
“D-Derke? You look like that… ! What happened-?!”
As I slowly help Derke, who was stuck between the beds, stand up, a young lady reveals her face.
So, Derke, who I had seen through leveling up in the past, or who had grown up a little more than that, was now sitting on the bed in my room.
If you stand up with your back straight, you might be the same height as me.
“Hu, huwaaa… !? Who… who are you-?!”
“huh? Derke? That’s what I’m going to do… … .”
But what was even more absurd was Derke’s reaction.
I wasn’t the only one who was surprised.
As soon as Derke comes to his senses, he freaks out.
Curling my whole body over the corner of the bed.
Its green eyes scan my face, a look of wariness in its eyes.
“Wow, this is the first human I’ve ever seen! But how can you understand my words and name… … !?”
“How? Come to your senses, Derke. “What are you talking about?”
“Yeah, but… … !”
“Is it because it’s dark? It’s me, the breeder! Also, how did you get here? And what happened to that appearance?”
“Whoaaat-? The breeder oppa has black hair… ?! The eyes seem to be the same, but is it really because they are dark that they look that way? … ?”
“what? “Did you say you have black hair now?”
One word from Derke brings my spirit to a new level.
Black hair and black eyes… … ?
It was definitely not a sound that could be ignored.
ㅡSweet!
I immediately got up and turned on the light switch. To check my appearance in the full-length mirror attached to the closet.
As expected, it was quite dark outside as it was evening time.
-Paaah!
Anyway, when the lights came on… … .
“haha..? How on earth did this happen… … .”
“Wow! Derke’s body has become as big as before… !? How on earth did this happen?!”
This time, Derke is equally surprised.
He also checked the mirror behind me.
Thanks to my increased height, my head was far enough behind my shoulders.
“Is that what I wanted to ask? What really happened… … ?”
Derke and I stared at the full-length mirror for a while, confused.
That was exactly as Derke said.
Black hair slightly hanging over the eyebrows.
Jet-black eyes that are blacker than pitch black.
And the very modern outfit seen underneath.
I see myself wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt and sweat shorts in the mirror.
A moment of cognitive dissonance occurs.
It’s definitely my body, but it doesn’t feel like my body.
Not an exotic gray-haired breeder;
This is me when I was an ordinary Korean… … .
Derke and I were unable to continue talking for a while due to the happy yet different feelings.
“… Did I return to my original body after crossing the dimension?”
This was the conclusion I came to after staring blankly into the mirror for a long time.
“Huh… ? Could it be that that was my brother’s original form?”
“Yes, that’s right. But what suddenly happened… … .”
“Sniff..! Woah, definitely! “The smell is a little different, but the friendly voice doesn’t seem to be much different from before—?!”
“okay?”
“Yep… ! Although it is very weak, I can definitely feel my brother’s energy!”
“My energy has become weak… … .”
This is probably because the power of the Dragon Heart has not yet fully entered this body.
If you wait a little, it will be restored to its original state quickly.
There must be a good reason for that.
Maybe they intentionally transferred me to my original body because I was told I was going to see my family.
“”… … .””
We had no choice but to freeze in front of the mirror for a while. It was a completely unexpected change in my body.
“By the way, Derke?”
“Ugh? “Did you call me?”
“I asked you this earlier… … . “How on earth did you come here?”
“Ahh… ! Well, that means… … !”
stuttering in response to my question,
The guy whose pupils are fluttering.
It was like a child who had made a big mistake.
As expected, this time, Derke only got bigger, and Derke was Derke.
I think you probably know it without me having to say it.
He probably jumped into the portal on his own.
How much you don’t want to be away from me… … .
“Well, that’s actually… … . After belatedly hearing that there might be a time difference, I became anxious… … .”
“So you just jumped in on your own?”
“S-sorry… … . Stop thinking that I might not see you for a long time… … .”
Derke lowers his head sullenly.
A guy who actually regrets doing something.
Anyway, it was as I expected.
You blindly jumped in after me… … . It was an unexpected action that could not have been done without Derke.
“Tsk, it’s okay as long as you’re safe. Anyway, that’s it… … . What really happened to your body? Did crossing the dimension also affect your body?”
“Wow, this is a very strange death dragon-?”
“No, it’s not that it’s strange, it’s that it’s been a while since I saw that… … . “I’m just a little awkward.”
Derke now is not the 202-year-old Derke I knew.
It was close to the appearance of a mature woman who had completed her rapid growth by leveling up twice after defeating the demon dragon in the past.
To top it off, the school uniform Derke was wearing was unbuttoned and torn in several places. Especially the chest and pelvic area… … .
“Hmm… ! Whatever it is, I think it would be a good idea to change clothes first. I don’t know if my clothes will fit you… … .”
After roughly assessing the situation, I quickly turned around and rummaged through the closet. I was going to wear it temporarily anyway, so anything that could cover my body seemed fine.
ㅡFumbling around… … !
After leaving the awkwardness behind, I was picking out clothes that Derke could wear from the closet.
ㅡTiring!
‘what? This sound… … ?’
A familiar sound is suddenly heard.
But the sight before my eyes was so clean.
System messages resembling holographic windows could not be found.
Moreover, that clear and clear alarm sound was hitting my eardrums directly, not my head.
“Oh, brother-?! Um, there’s a strange sound over there… … ?!”
“hmm?”
When I look back, Derke is pointing at the monitor. And with a very scared face.
The sound was probably coming from the speakers installed behind the monitor.
“Oh, it’s okay. Do not be afraid. “Because it’s not dangerous.”
“Well, what is that thin, square window? How can the light shine alone… … ?”
Derke looks at the monitor with a curious expression. With my body fully crouched.
I guess I haven’t completely let my guard down yet.
“wait. “I’ll check it out.”
After roughly picking out my clothes,
I immediately looked inside the monitor.
Derke’s return was postponed until later.
Because it was so incomprehensible.
ㅡSweet… !
I grabbed the mouse and looked at the screen.
I thought I had turned off all the windows earlier, but it was really strange.
That’s because it was completely different from the alarm sound from the messenger program installed on the computer. Rather, it was exactly similar to the system message sound that had been ringing in my head for so long.
“hmm? This, this… … ?”
A pop-up advertisement window appeared on the monitor.
No, there was no image to be considered an advertisement.
There was only a long message written in it.
But it was by no means an Internet advertisement.
That’s right there… … .
“Hey, did you arrive safely?”
There was a message someone sent me.
