Everyone Else is a Returnee

Chapter 156-160

Chapter 156

A world that was different from any other world Yu IlHan knew of. Such was the world within the gate in front of him.

The sky was dyed a deep red, the lands were black and strange trees that reminded him of Baobab trees were everywhere. The creepy mana flowing out of the gate was absurdly thick and murky and suffocated him.

If there was h.e.l.l, wouldn't it be like that? – thought Yu IlHan while taking a step back.

"......And? What is this, angels?"
[A gate.] (Liera)
[It's a gate.......] (Spiera)
"That's different from what I've heard!"

Shouted Yu IlHan. He could not comprehend this phenomenon.

He could accept that he could not finish off the vortex due to the lack of his ability. He also learned a lesson that he could not destroy it without the firepower of his fortress.

That was fine, but why did a gate that connected to a world which looked like something was 'definitely' going to happen in it, suddenly get generated?

"There is no world I'm connected to though."
[Yeah, that's for sure. Even the worlds you've been to cannot be said to be 'connected' to you.] (Liera)

That was also the reason why Yu IlHan attacked the gate without holding back. If it was any other people on Earth, a gate would form before the vortex was destroyed, but if it was Yu IlHan, there would be no gate!

Or so he thought and was relieved, but he was suddenly presented with this situation.

"What the heck is that? From the level of mana emitted from it, it's nowhere near any world I've been to until now."
[Eheh. You're so bad, asking me when you know that I don't know the answer *tehee*.] (Liera)
"Yeah right!"

Yu IlHan stared at the unfamiliar world beyond the gate and pondered on what to do, before retreating with a sigh.

"Looks like I'll have to stay here for the next 24 hours."
[Are you not going in? If it was your personality, I thought you'd be interested to experience it firsthand.] (Spiera)

Correct. In fact, Yu IlHan wanted to try going into the world beyond the gate.
However, in the current circ.u.mstance, that was beyond reckless.

"If it was any other place, I'd try, but right now, I have too little information. Moreover, even if I go in, this gate would be sustained until the mana runs out, right? Even if I'm alright, if a 4th cla.s.s suddenly pops out then the situation would turn complex, if it's a person from another world, it would be even more so."

He couldn't enter the gate, nor could he ignore it and go home as it was emitting a creepy aura. As such, the only option Yu IlHan could choose was to stay and guard until the gate closes.
He stepped on p.o.o.p while trying to level up.

[Kihiiiik!]
[KyaoooO! Kyahaaaaak!]

However, as time pa.s.sed, it didn't seem like it was such a bad thing. It seemed like the gate he had generated was very attractive, and the nearby monsters were all gathering towards it like the time with Bittersweet Persona!

[To think there's still so many monsters in the vicinity....] (Liera)
[It seems like even the monsters that crawled deep into the sea are coming. I guess this could be called a misfortune followed by a fortune.] (Spiera)
"Spiera, could you please go look up the definition of 'fortune' in the dictionary."

Replying as if grumbling, Yu IlHan took out the Eight-tailed dragon spear. Since he had nothing to do anyway, this was a good thing. He could practice the Great cosmos-severing spear while he killed monsters.
