Yoo Minseok slowly entered the hospital room. He carefully observed Kang Jaeseong from the rear. This person had woken up after a long time and his complexion was pale, but strangely, his eyes looked really alive. The doctors and nurses were amazed that there were no big abnormalities. They couldn’t hide their surprise and said they were preparing for a more precise examination in case of an emergency.

Fortunately, Yoo Minseok had a visitor’s card so he avoided being expelled. Once the doctors and nurses withdrew, he was able to see Dr Kang Jaeseong’s face clearly. Kang Jaeseong also recognized Yoo Minseok and his face brightened.

“Are you from Union? It has been a while since I’ve been to the real world and I’m still not used to it. Haha.”

“That’s right. However, what do you mean by the real world...”

“Misung, can you leave the room for a while?”

At Kang Jaeseong’s words, Kang Misung nodded and offered her seat. She said she would go and inform Joseph straight away. Soon after she closed the door and left, Kang Jaeseong opened his mouth, “I remember you at first glance. Were you in the office when I was giving a lecture previously?”

“You remember. I am Yoo Minseok.”

Yoo Minseok and Kang Jaeseong exchanged a brief handshake. However, the matter was serious and Yoo Minseok decided to get straight to the point. The lives of a tenth of humanity depended on Kang Jaeseong in front of him. He had to persuade this person to tell him the whereabouts of the master key. Now it was the only hope. Yet surprisingly, unbelievable words came from Kang Jaeseong’s mouth first, “Are you here to find the master key?”

“How do you know...?”

Kang Jaeseong sighed and opened his mouth again, “It is as expected. I heard from my brother-in-law that things are very serious.”

“If it is your brother-in-law...”

“I heard it from Joseph. You’ve been helping my little sister both materially and mentally...”

“How do you know...? No, haven’t you been in a coma?”

“That’s right. I was in a coma. I only recently learned that Misung has been nursing me in the hospital for a long time. I am fortunate. However, I didn’t fall into a coma because of others. It was done by myself. I used an app I developed at the time to send my consciousness to an NPC in the game.”

“That is ridiculous...”

Yoo Minseok couldn’t hide his surprise and his mouth fell open slightly. He knew this person was a rare genius in terms of virtual reality, but he never expected it would be this much. Who would’ve imagined that he had put himself into a coma and was living in a game rather than collapsing from an old, chronic illness?

Kang Jaeseong smiled at Yoo Minseok’s expression. Then he once again made an anxious expression and touched his chin.

“The answers are up to here. I have the master key that you want. It isn’t hard to find. Just...”

"Is there a problem?"

“Yes. It is a serious one.”

“What is it...?”

Yoo Minseok watched Kang Jaeseong nervously. Kang Jaeseong sighed loudly and told him, “Call a helicopter first. We’ll talk about it as we go.”

Once I reached Metheus, I was surrounded by countless people and received the welcome of users and NPCs. It was because most of them had experienced the time regression phenomenon. Some of them died in the war and couldn’t remember what happened, but others lived and remembered everything.

I informed some of the key people that I had saved everyone by turning back time. They expressed their admiration and fear of my power while also expressing their gratitude for their survival. Some expressed suspicion that I had done such an amazing thing but soon after, a video of me reviving them by turning back time was uploaded on Arkstagram and the suspicion was quickly resolved.

“As expected of Grandfather. Too cool!”

Mido gave a thumbs up with a wide smile on her face. Then someone shouted “Your Majesty!” and people started bowing. They were all NPCs, the people of Atlan.

“Raise your heads.”

However, no one looked up. I spoke to them once more in a dignified voice, “This is the king’s command.”

Only then did the people and knights gradually raise their heads. Their faces were filled with endless respect. However, I was here to push them to the brink again. It wasn’t too late to receive such underserved hospitality and greetings after everything was over.

“The enemies are still before us. I need your strength. Will you drive away those demons with me and save this world?”

There was a small turmoil among the gathered people. They obviously had to drive away the demons, but it was difficult to risk their lives. Moreover, there were users among them who didn’t want to risk their lives even more.

Just then, Mido approached me. “It will be difficult for users to risk their lives. It is because dying here is like actually dying. Fortunately, Grandfather turned back time and they came back to life, but you said you can only use that power once. Then it will be harder for them to follow.”

Mido showed a bitter expression filled with regret. She was definitely right, but I still smiled at Mido with a confident expression.

“Then what if they won’t die?”

I started to persuade them for quite some time, giving a speech to the people with shining eyes.

After a while, the soldiers and knights lined up.

The users were also smiling as they watched the city gates that started to open. Finally, the gates opened wide and a huge number of people started running at high speed. Witches and wizards from the magic city of Oz took to the skies on brooms with Park Maksun in the lead, while Gorba and the orcs ran on land.

Some of the constellations flew in the air with starlight behind them, while other rankers soared using magic items related to flying. However, most of them ran on the ground. Currently, I was riding on the cloud made by Jinny with Park Muyeol and Jinny. I delivered the news about her grandmother to Mido and she was in tears as she covered her mouth with surprise.

“Grandmother is alive... there?”

Mido seemed choked up and it was hard for her voice to come out. Meanwhile, Park Muyeol looked like he couldn’t believe my words. I told them that Yoo Seonyeong was actually Pluto and they kept shaking their heads.

“Grandmother has lived as Pluto for many years...”

“I can’t believe it.”

Mido showed an anxious expression and I rubbed her head. Mido blushed while tidying up her hair and I smiled at her.

“Once it is all over, let’s go and see your grandmother together.”

“Yes, that’s good!”

The face of my wife, Yoo Seonyeong, overlapped on Mido’s smiling face. As expected, blood couldn’t be fooled. Then Park Muyeol opened his mouth, “Thank you for saving me earlier.”

“What? It isn’t that much.”

“If something happened to Seongchan, then I wouldn’t be able to raise my head to my son and daughter-in-law in Heaven. That Ice Cream or Ash Cream, I didn’t think he would break the promise...”

Park Muyeol learned about what happened after his death due to the videos posted on Arkstagram. Now he was furious with Ashtar for not keeping his promise. He gritted his teeth and vowed to kill Ashtar with his own hands.

“Revenge is revenge. The most important thing is to stop Lee Geonmyeong first.”

“Cough. I know.”

I nodded slightly and saw the hill getting closer in the distance. We just had to cross this hill and we would arrive at Hesperides which was said to contain the demonic army.

At the helipad on the rooftop of Jaeseong Hospital...

Dududududu!

Yoo Minseok frowned slightly as the emergency medical helicopter made noise and strong wind. Next to him was Kang Jaeseong, who was in a wheelchair, and Kang Misung, who was holding onto the wheelchair. Kang Jaeseong had been in a coma for a long time and it was difficult for him to control his body. Therefore, Kang Jaeseong asked Kang Misung to accompany him. She hesitated and agreed to accompany him on the premise that the attending doctor would also ride the helicopter.

After a while, the helicopter landed carefully and three people got on. Everyone got on along with the doctor and the helicopter rose slowly into the sky. Yoo Minseok and Kang Jaeseong talked to each other using the helmets provided inside the helicopter.

The main contents were what Kang Jaeseong had done in the game, what NPC he had taken over, and how he spent the time. After hearing everything, Yoo Minseok was at a loss and could only shake his head. No matter the situation, if he needed to live in the game for so many years, he might’ve collapsed and committed suicide.

‘In short, he is a great person.’

Then Yoo Minseok shouted, “How do you know that Union has a helipad?”

Yoo Minseok asked Kang Jaeseong despite the noise of the helicopter.

“I heard that one day, Chairman Lee Geonmyeong collapsed and an emergency medical helicopter helipad was built on the roof of headquarters. Fortunately, it’s still there!”

“Indeed! If we had gone back by car like me, then it would’ve taken over four hours! The heavens really helped!”

“I was originally lucky! I was lucky enough to survive my coma! Hahaha!”

Yoo Minseok smiled bitterly when listening to the words. He shouted to Kang Jaeseong again, “By the way, don’t you have to find the master key before going to Union?!”

“It’s fine! I already have the master key!”

Yoo Minseok was a bit surprised, but he didn’t show it and just smiled lightly. In any case, if Kang Jaeseong’s words were true, then it was a good thing to return to Union quickly without delaying time. He previously told Lee Seokjun on the phone that Kang Jaeseong had awakened and they would return with the master key. Lee Seokjun told him to come without delay.

Dududududu!

In the midst of the noise of the helicopter, Kang Jaeseong shouted at him, “I have to sleep a bit! My body hasn’t recovered properly yet! I think it is better to take a break in advance so I can focus later!”

“Understood! Rest peacefully! I’ll wake you up when we arrive!”

Kang Jaeseong nodded and slowly closed his eyes. Yoo Minseok took a deep breath to calm his mind while he watched the clouds in the setting sun. There was just an unknown feeling inside him that was making him more anxious.

Dududududu!

The noise of the helicopter was as loud as a tranquil heartbeat on the eve of a storm.
