After sealing the God of Despair inside the God of Death black book.

The sticky red light didn’t disappear.

No, to be precise it’s about to disappear.

Uuuuuuuur...

The red light that seems to fall to the ground like rain, it’s seeping in.

Like time bomb that about to explode.

Suddenly the sticky red light explode & red light flashing from the temple of God of Despair.

“Fuck."

Cale cursed and preparing to summon the shield. But it’s happening so quickly.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the scenery that he always sees when he was Kim Roksoo.

He looks around.

Is this another test?

Cale started to analyze his condition.
I can’t feel my ancient powers or the vow of death.

I can only use Record here.

While analyzing and listening to the people walking on the main street in front of the alley,  he knows that they are speaking Korean.

It’s different Korea from Kim Roksoo Earth 1 or 2, and it’s also different from Ahn Roh Man Earth 3.

It looks like another world that looks like Earth before the apocalypse.

Cale try to take his top whip from his spacial pocket,  but he just get few gold coins inside the pocket.

There’s no mana in this world.

He started to think about what he should do to get back to his world. Suddenly there is loud sound coming from behind. He turned his head and sees a crazy bastard with white hair and green eyes, the guardian knight Clopeh Sekka running from the police pursuit.

Clopeh body looks much younger, about 15 years old and he still wearing the same clothes when they were at the temple of God of Despair.

Cale look at his hand, his sleeve was loose and his arm looks smaller.
We are getting younger.

That person eyes looks shiny strangely and said “ Cale-nim" while clasping his hand like praying.  Cale felt goosebumps just looking for the trouble that comes nearer to him.

“Cale-nim, I’m glad I could meet you as soon as I opened my eyes.” He said while smiling brightly with strange shines in his eyes.

Stop right there or we’ll have to arrest you. “
“Clopeh don’t talk. “

Then he move beside Clopeh and greet the two policeman that running after Clopeh.

Good evening, Sir. I’m sorry but he don’t understand Korean. "

You know each other?”

Yes Sir.”

The two policeman started to ask.
Do you know that there’s rules for bringing a weapon in the public area? And both of you seems to be underage, so tell me your parents contact. ”

Cale started acting to be pitiful while telling their (fake) story.
It was something our parents left behind before their death. This is the only thing that reminds us about them. To tell you the truth Sir, we’re being scams and rob by some group of criminals. We came to this country to work, because we’re receiving a modeling offer from a company in this country. Our parents just died from accident and we have a financial problem, so we decided to try our luck in this country.

*Sob* Cale act like he tried not to cry.

The two policeman started to feel bad about trying to take Clopeh sword and worried after taking a  better look at the two boy in front of them. They also look at a boy who is about 13 years old with his loose clothes that seems have some blood on it.

Clopeh beside him act like he was worried while thinking ‘As expected Cale-nim was great to know this foreign language. Cale-nim is really a Legendary Hero that greater than the God. ‘
Maybe it was a good thing for Cale that Clopeh don’t understand Korean so he doesn’t know about his conversation with the policeman about the fake story.
Suddenly Cale felt goosebumps, but he just continued his (fake) story.

When we arrived in this country, there were a group that introduced themselves as the entertainment agency company worker and they drove us to a building. They asked us to use the clothes for the audition and then they locked us inside the room, so we trick them and run away. But I got separated from the other and we lost our belongings. I’m worried about the other that separated from me

Are there any other children beside both of you?

Yes, there are 3 people who are being with me

Cale makes his conclusion about their condition. I think everyone in the temple are here because of that red light.
The policeman face get darker after listening to the stories.

One of the policeman looks really angry.
What a heartless bastard to do something like that to an innocent child and they are working in a group. We should help this children and start our investigation about this group

Cale timidly interrupt the policeman.
Mm..., Sir. Can I get your help to sell my belongings that I still have?”

He too out few gold coins from his pocket and showed it to the policeman.
This is something that I get from my parents, it’s precious to my parents but if it will help us to have a place to live and eat well I think they’ll be happy in the heaven.“

“Don’t worry, we will take you to a trusted place so you’ll get a fair price and you won’t get scams.“

“Thank you very much Sir!”

Cale thanked the policeman while smiling brightly.

If Raon was here he would ask ‘Human, are you going to scam them?’

The policeman started to think ‘How could there’s a heartless villain bastard group like that who are so heartless to scams an innocent child like them. I think they starting to make they base in our country, maybe they were an international mafia like organization. I should make the report about this case quickly.’

Mr. Lee here will help you with your needs,  I’ll make some investigation about that group. Do you remember the location of the building?”

I don’t remember it clearly because I just running as quick as possible to find someone to help us but also scared that some people are one of the group. I only remember that the building was in the area with very few people.

Ok thank you for your information, if you remember anything you can report it to the police.

Yes Sir I will report it  if I  remember it.

Mr. Lee then take them to a jewelry store and sell the gold coins. Then they buy some clothes to fit in this world.

Mr. Lee,  can I ask you to help us to get a job for modeling? I think we can make a living and it may help us to find the other

What about your school?”

We’re doing homeschooling Sir. Right, can you help us to buy some smartphones and a laptop?”

You will follow me to make the report and remade your identification after this.

Yes, thank you Mr. Lee.


After looking at the information after they buying smartphones, Cale know that they’re now in Korea. Although most things are like Earth 1 & 2, but this world was a peaceful world without mana, aura or ability. Cale had asked Clopeh to use his aura, but he said he couldn’t use his aura. Clopeh body seems to get regressed to before the attack of the Northern Alliance when he still had his limbs.

Only science and technology that can be used. Cale felt relief that he could use Record ability to help him collecting information about this world and searching for the way to get back to their world.

The biggest problem he had is Alberu, Choi Han & Mary seems to be in this world because they are in the temple and that red light shine inside the temple. He needs to find them so he thinking to be a model and get famous to make them easier to find him. There’s some worries that the people that are nearby to the temple will also dragged in this world in the worst case.

Mr. Lee help them to rent an apartment as their temporary house. He also promise both of them that they will get audition in trusted and famous agency with hope that they will overcome their trauma being scams by that villain group.

He take them to their apartment after buying them some take away food for the children.

We arrived in your temporary house, you should eat well and rest well. Don’t worry,  we will do our best to help you to meet your family members. Both of you should lock the door and don’t let unknown people in, and if you see any members of those villain groups just call 112. I’ll see you in three days to help you with the audition. I hope you can quickly reunited with your family.
Mr. Lee said with gentle smile and said good bye before leaving them.

Cale already downloaded some apps to help Clopeh learn Korean and he had been learning diligently using the smartphone.
Then they eat their dinner and take shower to clean themselves in their own room. The apartment they’re renting have two bedrooms and each room have its own bathroom.

After finished cleaning up some necessity that they buy, and checked the apartment, Cale sitting on the sofa in the living room.

He looks to the sofa beside him. Clopeh eyes was shining eerily and seems to have a strange light. Then he started to speak
“As expected Cale-nim, you are always so calm and you solve our problems quickly without having any trouble and you also know this world language. Cale-nim you are truly the only one Hero of the Legend that was greater than a God! You also know how to use every gadget in this world, and you’re not surprised with how this world is so much different with our world. ”

With disgusted face, Cale try to stop this clever but crazy bastard.
“The God test that I get before have same language that’s why I understand it. I learned it and it seems this world is similar to that one, so I already know about it because it was similar to that world.“

“I’ll also learned it quickly so I can help you to make a legend in this world“

Cale only can feel headaches after listening to Clopeh.

My poor life. Maybe Eruhaben-nim is right about me being unlucky.
