NOVEL NEXT chapter 409
409 – Scene 409# the Best Brother in the World
*
-Hug me! Hugs… !
-Mom!
-No. How many times have I told you that I am not your mother? .
Sora was accepting the whining complaints of Michaela and Lucaela.
The moment I took a step towards them, their appearances were suddenly erased.
-As for me, I am the god of paradise! It’s Michaela!
-Ahem! I am the god of hell! Lucaella!
-Huh? Are you gods?
-That’s right!
-We are gods!
-Hmm… That’s strange. I’ve created a scene based on the setting, but I’ve never given it a name…
-Wow. Did mom make us?
-It’s true that I made it…
-So your mom was your mom?
-No, mom.
At the same time, a different scene was unfolding a few steps away.
-The reason we are here…? I don’t know… I don’t really remember…
-I can’t remember my mom and dad’s faces… Black…
-Oh, don’t cry again!
-Hey…
Also, when I tried to approach it, it was erased and a new scene appeared a few steps away. At the same time, I also naturally realized this.
This is Sora’s past.
To be exact, it was Sora immediately after being trapped in the Milky Way after becoming a vegetative state due to an accident. Even at this time, Sora probably didn’t know what was happening to him. When he opened his eyes, he was in an unknown place, so he must have been scared. It must have been extremely lonely.
During that time, Sora met Michaela and Lucaela. They are also trapped in this world by Representative Park. They were at a loss and began to rely on each other.
-Mom! Let’s go together!
-So I am your mother… Under… Done. Let’s quit…
-Wow! Mom became a mom!
Michaela and Luca Ela followed Sora like her mother. And Sora embraced Michaela and Luca Ella as if they were her real daughters.
-Mom… I am sleepy…
-Me too… Sniff…
-Ugh… Everyone, come to work. Let’s sleep together.
I walked slowly along the tree trunk. Then, the moments Sora spent in this world were carefully replayed.
-Mom. What is that little thing?
-That’s Dahlia Village.
-What about that next to you?
– Hmm. That’s a forest where scary monsters live.
Sora, Michaela, and Lucaella were looking at the world reflected in a snowball as big as a bowling ball.
-What is that big castle?
-Hmm… That’s the castle where the emperor lives.
-What about that?
-Let’s see… These are people who pray to God. At this time, crops harvested throughout the year are offered as offerings.
-Tribute… ?
-Therefore… This is a gift to say that farming has gone well thanks to you guys.
-Wow. How does Mom know so well?
-Uh? That’s because it was created based on a work I wrote…
-Then mom created this world… ?
-Umm… Should I say so… ?
-And! Mom is so amazing!
Like her parents, Sora taught the two young gods various things. Looking at that, I could see why the two people praised Sora as her person and followed him.
-Mom mom. I want to run around and play in paradise!
-You can just play.
-There is no space to play in paradise.
-Make it yourself.
-Mom. I want to build a big palace in hell.
– Even rookies can make that much. I gave you the ability to do that…
-But it’s better when mom makes it.
-Ugh… Spoiled kids.
Sora shook her head and placed her hand on her snow globe, and a wide meadow spread out in her paradise, and a large castle was created in hell. This is the time when Sora has not lost his strength yet. At this time, the world was being created one by one just as she imagined.
-Excuse me… I’m not even married yet, so it’s a bit weird to be called mom.
-But mom is mom…
-No. Is there anything else to say other than mom?
-Ah… Pa?
-… No way. There is also a saying that she is her older sister.
-I don’t like that.
-Huh?
-I’m saying it’s confusing. You have two sisters.
-Michaela’s only older sister is Lucaella.
-My name is Jeongso, so you can just call me Sora.
-No, I do not want! One sister is enough for her!
-Under… Okay, okay. You must be young… These stubborn little guys. Then what do you want to call it?
-Mom!
-No!
-Sniff…
-You can’t cry!
-Mom is a mom…
-Why can’t I call her mom her her her her her her her?
-That’s right, I’m your mother…
-Wow… !
-Bwaaeak!
-Ah! Really! Okay! Call me mom!
-Really?
-Instead, don’t call me mom in front of others! Okay?
-Ehehe.
She loves mom!
I continued walking along the stream of memories. In the flashback, Michaela and Lucaella were growing up little by little.
-Where did you come from, mom?
-Me? I am… I come from a country called Korea.
-Korea… ?
-There is no country like that among the countries my mother taught me about… ?
-That’s because it’s a country that doesn’t exist in this world.
-?
-Umm… How should I explain it…
Sora seemed to be thinking deeply, and then she spoke to Michaela and Luca Ella.
– To put it bluntly… It should be seen as a country not in this world but in another dimension.
-Wow…
The scene has changed.
-Huh? Want me to tell you about the world I lived in?
-Yes, yes!
-Hmm… It’s very different from here. I guess I should say that although there is no magic, there are many things that replace magic…
Sora began to tell a story as if he was lost in sentiment. Then the scene changed again.
-Oppa?
-Mom’s brother?
-Huh. I guess he’s like an uncle to you guys… Anyway, what kind of person is my brother…
From there I couldn’t hear much. The clouds obscured Sora’s appearance her her her, as if there was noise. All I could see was my younger brother’s lips muttering like an echo. However, she could clearly hear her brother’s last words.
-… So, to me, he is the best oppa in the world.
The moment I heard those words, something touched my heart. Cringy? No…
‘What… ?’
It’s normal to cringe when you hear something like that… For some reason, my strength surged. As my younger brother said, I became the best older brother in the world…
It was then.
-Joy! None of that is great!
-Michaela?
-I hate my mom and my brother! Mom is even better!
Michaela poured out her mouth. It was jealousy. It was the complaint of a child who was afraid of losing her mother’s affection.
Okay. When I think about it, Michaela was always wary of me. Is that what she started from then… ? .
-No. Michaela. Compared to my brother, I…
-I don’t know Michaela! I don’t know!
Her mom is an idiot!
-Hey, hey! What are you talking about your mom about? Come on!
Lucaella chases after Michaela, who is very upset and has gone somewhere. Sora looked at the girls with a bitter expression and shook her head. Then she placed her hand on the snow globe in front of her and muttered softly.
-… Brother.
At that moment, Sora and I met her eyes. Of course we couldn’t meet each other… I definitely felt it. She’s staring right at me.
-We… We’ll be able to meet again someday, right?
A voice mixed with anticipation and anxiety.
-We… Can we go back to the way it was before?
I answered with confidence.
“… Yes.”
Even if it doesn’t reach my younger brother.
“We can meet.”
I felt like I had to say that.
“I can go back.”
I took a step. Then Sora’s face suddenly disappeared.
That wasn’t everything. In the blink of an eye, the clouds had disappeared. The surroundings, which had been filled with only hazy clouds, became bright. Thanks to this, I was able to face the huge thing that appeared before my eyes.
“… World tree?”
I had no choice but to say that it was a world tree. What was spread out in front of me was a tree so huge that it was difficult to capture at a glance. Of all the trees on Earth, there will be no tree larger than this.
The roots of the huge tree stretched out long and its branches were so dense that they blocked the sky. However, the surroundings were bright rather than dark. Instead of fruits, there were beads that looked like bright sun hanging from the branches.
I was about to approach a low branch to take a closer look, but I stopped.
“We ended up here.”
I turned around when I heard a voice from behind me.
“I never thought the day would come when I would say something like this…”
“You…”
“Welcome. Tristan… No, should I say Jeong Ji-hwan?”
A man who smiles… CEO Park Jun-hyuk was there.

“It’s urgent! Hero hordes have begun to invade the border!”
“Come on!”
The nobles gathered at the imperial palace who heard the urgent news from the border were all indignant.
The Maykahel Empire, which stationed soldiers at the border, did not let any of its self-proclaimed warriors pass through. As the standoff continued, the warriors suddenly began attacking the castle.
“What on earth is a hero? “You’re attacking us, not the devil!”
“The devil is not in this country, he is in the north! In the end, he was just an excuse to invade this country!”
They didn’t know it, but the invasion of players who had received quests from the system had begun in earnest. Their target is the Demon King Tristan. However, for those who did not even know that Tristan was the devil, it was no different from being invaded without a declaration of war.
“Didn’t Jim tell you? “They are fake warriors.”
In contrast to his excited subjects, Emperor Luna was calm. As soon as it was attacked by fake warriors, the empire immediately declared war.
I don’t know if I had foreseen this situation, but thanks to Tristan, I was fully prepared. Soon after the declaration of war, the imperial army’s troops were all deployed to the border and were fighting against the warriors.
It had gone smoothly up to this point, but I couldn’t feel at ease yet. Because there were so many enemies.
Now that we were in a wartime situation, the nobles could not remain still. They were all gathered in the palace wearing armor. Some of them had already left to protect their territory or borders.
It was then.
“Prime Minister! “Where have you been and now you’re coming back!”
The nobles’ eyes were focused on the door. Prime Minister Odell, who had been away for a while, appeared wearing armor. His expression was very heavy.
“Your majesty. “I have a sudden but urgent matter to report.”
“What is it?”
“That is…”
Unlike the always calm Odell, he seems hesitant. Luna quickly realized what Odell wanted.
“Everyone, leave only Prime Minister Odell.”
“Your majesty. But now the war…”
“Didn’t I tell you to go away!”
Due to Luna’s anger, the nobles reluctantly left the place. Only then did Odel and Luna remain in the throne room.
“So… “What do I have to report?”
“… “Lord Mondry contacted me urgently a while ago.”
“Mondriga?”
“Yes.”
Mondry, who once worked as an imperial wizard, retired from the front line as he got older and became the president of a university. Since his days as an imperial wizard, he has been highly loyal to the emperor.
“Lord Mondry said he would respond directly to the invasion of warriors this time.”
“Hmm? Already? “You’re surprisingly quick on your feet.”
Mondria was praised as the wizard closest to a wise man. It was not unusual for him to sense the country’s crisis early and act accordingly.
But Odell’s next words were enough to surprise Luna.
“But not only Lord Mondry…” ” It seems like the legendary wise man himself came forward…”
“What… ? If you are a legendary sage… “Myoha-il?”
“Yes. It looks like he is with Lord Mondry now.”
“Her her her…”
The legendary sage, Myohail. Not only is he alive and well, but few people in the empire, including Emperor Luna, know that he is disguised as a librarian at a university library… It was the most secret of all secrets.
However, what surprised Luna was the fact that Myohail was directly involved in the war. Even so, Mondry is not a wizard who can move on his own. He has lived for a long time and has observed the history of the empire. In the meantime, there were several crises of the empire, but even then, Myo Ha-il watched everything and did not come out of the library.
Myohail was a legendary sage that even Luna could not move. It is truly a blessing to have such a wise person remain in this country. But such a wise man would personally participate in the war… If so, he would be of great help as if he had received 1 million reinforcements.
Luna muttered with an uncharacteristically dumbfounded look on her face.
“What on earth is the reason… ?” ? Does the wise man want something from us?”
“No. Lord Mondry says the reason the wise man is going to war is…”
O’Dell said as if he himself couldn’t believe it.
“Count Ruelberta… It seems that there was a request from Sir Tristan.”
“… Ha?”
