Everyone Else is a Returnee - Chapter SS16

Great Creator -1

All the Earthlings got their avatars and went to another world to practice magic.

One hundred and eighty years have passed since Yoo ll-han fell behind on the Earth. However, he realized one major problem.

"Nothing..."

These days, she would appear in front of ll-han every time she was bored and had nothing to do.

Because of that, Rita, the bad angel, always caused him the greatest distress. She tilted her head and asked, "What are you saying, that there’s nothing, ll-han?"

"Just... there is no book to read." Yoo ll-han said with an uncomfortable face, pulling himself away from her.

"Ah, is it time to go to another country?"At that time, Yoo ll-han had completed the first martial arts training, and went around the world intending to gather all the world data. It was pointless to count the books he had read so far.

He had learned his own method that no human could follow by reading letters. It took less than a minute to read and memorize perfectly, even if it was a completely new book.

It could be said that it was impossible for humans, and Yoo ll-han was constantly undergoing inhuman evolution in a world where time had stopped. Still, Yoo ll-han was not relaxed enough to pay attention to such trivialities now.

"Yes, it is, but there is a problem."

"Problem? What is it?"

"The problem is..."

Being responsible for Yoo ll-han's fallout, Rita was willing to do most of anything to help him. Her eyes, which already held unusual feelings for Yoo ll-han, were overly sparkling from that point on.

Even if Yoo ll-han died and woke up again, he had no intention of honestly telling her his problems.

'There's not enough treasure.’

That was right: No matter how many years he had lived, Yoo ll-han was a healthy young man, and he was active in many ways.

Whether practicing martial arts or reading books, sometimes it was necessary to dispel his overflowing passion in different ways. Even under the circumstances where such a beautiful angel appeared periodically to bother him!

The problem was that whether he was watching a pornogra—a treasure—the content was always just the content itself. Treasures used in countries where cultural exchanges were completely absent from each other could still be similar to each other.

Yoo ll-han even thought that he could write a thesis about it!

"Now, the contents of most books overlap. It's hard to find something new."

Yoo ll-han had already lived for more than a few decades, but he still believed it wasn't going to happen for a hundred years yet. So, he couldn't tell Rita that he was troubled by such a trivial thing. The agony twisted him a little.

"Then, are you going to stop here and go back to Korea?" Rita, who was somewhat worried about his pathological obsession with reading, asked him while wondering what else to do with him when this was over.

"No, I still have to travel around the world first. Some sites can only be accessed in that country."

Yoo ll-han carried around a large hard disk and tried to find useful materials from each country.

So, in other words, they were collecting treasure. The problem was that the video had already reached its limit, regardless of whether it was in 2D or 3D.

Although it was expensive to create pictures and videos, writing was the simplest yet most effective way to communicate your intentions to others. In the end, the answer would be in the text.

"Huh?!"

"Why? What happened, ll-han? Where did you get hurt? Would you like to have fun with me?"

Rita jumped at Yoo ll-han, who suddenly screamed; he was so shocked to notice that Rita hugged him.

'Why don't I make it?'

He couldn't do it because he didn't have much talent in painting, but if it was in writing! He is Yoo ll-han, who has already seen all kinds of treasures in this world. He can surely do it!

'Of course, since I have to read new books and practice spear skills and martial arts, I cannot afford to spend so much time on it.'

But that was enough. Regardless of whether in 2D and 3D, he had the knowledge he learned from seeing all the treasures in the world.

He could create a long-lasting masterpiece that no one could help but cry if they read it! Of course, he didn’t have any friends or someone to show it off to.

"Rita... so how long will you hold me?"

"Doesn't it hurt now?"

Rita’s innocent eyes were in contrast with ll-han's violent body posture.

Yoo ll-han sincerely believed that the pain would disappear with physical affection, and he vented his anger when he had nowhere to go to but to the lovely angel who hugged him.

"You are the worst, the worst."

"But why on Earth do you think like that?!"

Yoo ll-han thought it must have been the angels with these pure intentions that had degraded the monks who practiced asceticism, and he went on a journey again.

Rita left, saying she couldn't understand his anger, but she soon came back, because there was nothing else she could do but report to Heaven through the ring of angels.

At first, there were quite a few difficulties.

Somehow, reading and writing were different, and basically, Yoo ll-han was a very busy person.

However, he came up with a way to write with his phone during his spare time, and after constant practice, he was able to squeeze out quite plausible phrases.

It was indeed a good thing because, somehow, Rita stole his computer password without his knowing it. In other words, most of his treasures were known to Rita, and Rita was taking care of him, pretending to be okay even though she knew about it.

If Yoo ll-han knew about it, she would have been humiliated, but of course, he was unaware of this.

"ll-han, what are you doing?"

And Rita wanted to know everything about him. She wanted to get involved by even looking at his phone.

"I'm writing a diary."

"Can't you show it to me?"

"I don't write my diary to show others. Because no one wants to look at it."

The words spoken by Yoo ll-han made Rita sense that she had stepped on a dangerous road.

Even then, Yoo ll-han was not done talking yet.

"When my homework for writing a diary came out in elementary school, I forgot and didn't write it, but the teacher gave it back with a ‘Well Done' stamp. Since then, 'Well done' has become a symbol of formality, an insincere word for me."

Rita, who realized that Yoo ll-han was suffering an intense reaction, flew to his side in a hurry and patted him on the shoulder and said, "But am I here now, right? You are not alone. Calm down."

"But I won't show you because there's no guarantee that you'll always be here in the future."

"A-about that... I..."

If Rita pushed a little harder here, Yoo ll-han's treasure creation plan would have gone back to nothing, and the relationship between the two would have progressed greatly! Unfortunately, Rita’s feelings for him were still very cautious.

"Yes, then you can write it by yourself. I hope you will show it to me someday."

"I'm sorry, but maybe I won't."

Rita, who thought she couldn't tell when and how her Yoo ll-han's mental state would collapse, seemed to treat him like a piece of delicate machinery that could break at any time if she wasn't careful. She couldn't even touch the phone he always carried, so Yoo ll-han's secrets could be kept perfectly.

In this way, he was able to protect his cell phone, and his new treasure's safety, in exchange for revealing one dark story from his elementary school days!

"Then what material should I use?"

The story, which could happen on Earth, had already sounded boring. If so, he needed to think differently.

"A world other than Earth, yes."

He would re-create the things that might happen in the world that the Earth's people are heading to now into treasure!

"What a great idea!"

Rita was stunned, clapping her hands at Yoo ll-han's request for information about the other worlds.

"A culture of another world... It was just the monsters they're fighting against. It might make the enemy proud when the cataclysm comes!"

"Yeah. So please, tell me, in many ways."

"Okay, okay, you probably won't be bored."

Rita was so proud to see him trying to find something new. She was willing to tell Yoo ll-han about the other worlds' appearance, as well as bout the first of them, specially selected to be the world where magic developed.

"In fact, the world was divided into several aspects in the process of development. A world in which religion became the center of culture was drawn and written through the divine power of the recorded gods. A world where combat skills and chivalry have developed, and was full of many monsters to fight against. And thanks to the appearance of the visionary, the world with the magic of high-ranking temples was developed early!"

"The world where the magic was developed..."

"Perhaps magic is the thing you'll be most surprised by since the cataclysm. So, first, let's talk about the world in which magic has developed."

Rita began to talk in earnest, wearing her light glasses bought from a nearby optician's shop.

"Mages usually take a world with advanced magic in the power structure. In cases of extreme development, there are three statues in which magical powers determine the successor, and there is a world in which the leadership class consists only of the Magistrates."

"I must be very lucky to have fallen there. If people learn magic, they can do everything when they come back to Earth, right?"

"Well, are they really lucky? Magic is a very discriminating ability, after all."

Rita made a wry smile. Yoo ll-han was convinced at that moment that Rita would not be able to use magic.

"Hey, don't look at me like that. Magic is just an aptitude! It’s not that I'm stupid! I just handled my body better!"

"Yeah, yeah. Just tell me the other things. So all the humans in that world are doing something useless?"

"It can't be. In a world where magic is extremely advanced, there is usually an artifact or a connoisseur who recognizes those who have an aptitude for magic. So the better they are, the more intensive an education will be required to be a Mage."

"Of course."

The moment Yoo ll-han heard it, he felt a flash of light in his head. In a world like that, a Mage that had good abilities would soar through the sky. And the Earth's people, who had just been summoned from Earth, could only be stronger after making such a choice to be a Mage.

Wasn't it clear who was the boss, and who was the winner?

And for most treasures, the story begins at the point when the relationship is formed!

'It's nice to have an outline.'

Earth people would try to do anything to learn magic from such powers.

Yes, for whatever their reasons were.

When Kang Mi-rae woke up from sleeping in the class, she was in a strange environment.

It was a mental comfort that the people who were taking the class with her were all together.

"What is this? What's going on?"

"Professor, what is this? Professor!"

"Ah, ah, ah! My head feels like exploding!

The screams and shouts rang from everywhere. However, there was no time for true despair.

This was because humans in long robes and outfits, like those that would appear in fantasy movies, soon gathered at the place where the people of the Earth had gathered.

"Welcome to the palace of Palladia, Stranger."

"King Sejong the Great?"

"I heard that basic knowledge has already been passed on, so get straight to the main point. We will select those who excel in magic among you and conduct an evaluation of them."

The crowds of people on the square began to fluctuate. Because of the knowledge injected into their heads, they realized roughly what the person who had just appeared meant by 'Mage', and they knew how important it was to be chosen.

"Everyone, rest assured. Even if you are not chosen, I will sincerely help you choose a path other than that of a Mage to which you can devote yourself, because that was the deal with the angels.

And for us Mages, a word is worth a thousand gold."

"I-I really want to learn that."

Some of the Earth's people spoke bitterly. They looked so miserable, trying to act coy toward the Mages, but the Mage calmly nodded his head, as if he understood their hearts, and said, "If you don't have the aptitude, no matter how much you learn, it will be useless. So pray that you have an aptitude. Now then, I will perform the screening."

A woman clung to the Mage, telling him that she would do anything if necessary, but the Mage made her behave right away by saying that she would be expelled from the empire if she interfered with public affairs.

And soon, Kang Mi-rae's turn came.

"This... this is it."

A Mage, who tried to check her aptitude, trembled as if she couldn't believe her own eyes.

"Oh, I definitely want to teach you."

"What? There are enough talents that Atyran wants to teach?"

"Wait a minute, no one moves. The one who moves is the one who's not going to teach her."

Kang Mi-rae was isolated from others in the blink of an eye.

When she still did not know what the hell was going on, it began in earnest.

"I must be Kang Mi-rae's teacher! She has an overwhelming lightning talent!"

"What do you mean? She has excellent mana affinity, and a sense of space, simultaneously! She is a child who opens new horizons of space magic! ""She is loved by the four elements! She must have a talent for magical spirit crane!"

"Sigh. It's a battle, then! The winner will become Kang Mi-rae's teacher!"

"I'm going to change the history of the Palladian Empire, and I know I'm not going back!"

The battle to decide Kang Mi-rae's teacher was going to occur. Kang Mi-rae, who was watching it quietly, quickly grasped the situation, and quietly raised her hand. As everyone was silent, she said with a quick smile, "I have the right to choose my teacher."

"Ugh."

"You know that?!"

"She definitely has an outstanding talent!"

"Then, I'll ask: What can you do for me?"

It was the moment when the rosy life of Kang Mi-rae, who had quickly judged the truth, began.
