A Genius Gamer Reincarnated into a Hero’s Family Chapter 267

Genius Gamer, Reincarnated into a Heroic Family Chapter 267

Back to the world (1)

When returning to the continent from Yeryeongdo, it was possible to use Kaladan’s flying boat, but that was not necessary.

Even if you use an airship, you still have to teleport and transfer trains several times, and the Kaladan mark is too noticeable during that process.

He landed in the southwestern part of the continent with the help of the whale ancient species.

-See you next time, human hero!

When the whale ancient species returned, Harang put in contact lenses to hide the color of his eyes.

“It feels like it’s been a while since I’ve been back in Wizard Days… … .”

Of course, back in the Days days, he had the look of a young pretty boy, but now that he’s over 180 cm tall, he definitely has the look of a handsome young man. When he tied his hair up tightly and let it fall, Kadalem giggled.

“Haha, now that I’m an adult, that old feeling of mine has completely disappeared. They look similar, but they’re still very different.”

While the warrior Kaladan was always the type who had a mischievous smile on his face, cracked jokes and laughed to himself, Harang was the complete opposite.

He was a quiet, heavy-hearted young man. No matter how many jokes I made in front of him, he seemed to only have a cold expression on his face. I was strangely overwhelmed.

This could be said to be the true form of a nobleman, or rather, a tyrant.

Even though I don’t know their identity, I feel overwhelmed by their spirit just by looking at them…

“You look completely different now than you did three years ago, so those who try to find you will have a hard time.”

Even three years ago, he had already reached a certain level of growth, but until then, he still had a strong impression of a young boy. After three years of fighting and being beaten by the ancient species every day, Harang had gained muscle mass and no longer had that young impression.

“Take this necklace. It will help you completely hide your presence. Unless you decide to reveal yourself, your identity will not be revealed.”

“… … .”

When Harang put the necklace around her neck, Kadalem asked.

“Have you decided on a destination?”

“I just… … want to look around the world.”

“It’s a simple journey, but it’s going to be a difficult one. Why did you stop that Avalanche guy from following me?”

“I thought it would only be meaningful if I traveled alone.”

“Didn’t he say he wouldn’t get involved in the fight even if you died anyway?”

“well.”

Harang chuckled.

‘I told you that you wouldn’t get involved in a real fight even if you were to die. Take me with you!’

Avalanche was making all sorts of fuss. Harang knew. Just as she had rushed to save him, he would also be unable to hold back and intervene if he were in danger.

That shouldn’t be the case.

‘Even if it means going through a life-threatening crisis, you must meet and face a truly strong person.’

Only then will you be able to advance to the next level.

“I will go to the Herael Empire. When all your journeys are over, come there. I have work to do with you in the palace.”

“… …Is that so?”

I nodded, although I had no idea what I was going to do in the Herael Empire.

“See, hear, and realize many things. Face the fact that you are not the only genius in the world. This world is wide, and there are many strong people.

Everyone who learns of your identity will seek to kill you. Ainglass must have secretly placed a bounty on your head. If Kaladan were to die in a duel on the battlefield, there would be no retaliation, so all warriors and mercenaries would rush to take your head.”

Enduring all of that and returning is Harang’s primary goal.

“Have you decided on a nickname?”

“I won’t tell you now. You’ll probably find out sooner or later.”

“Haha, good, you punk. I’ll go and see.”

As Kadalem turned around and walked away from the sandy beach, Harang bowed her head at a 90-degree angle in greeting.

“Thank you for teaching me so much.”

Kadalem did not answer.

That was his greeting.

* * *

Harang’s first goal was to return. However, he had no intention of returning just like that. He had no intention of returning until he had reached the 9th star level.

I felt like if I returned without even finding the stairs to at least level 9, I would never grow.

‘The moment my destination of returning to Kaladan is revealed to the world, I will never be able to go out again.’

From then on, all eyes in the world will be watching Harang’s actions.

Harang, who cannot freely go out and experience the outside world, must train only within the family.

I’ve done enough training like that.

Although training is always lacking, now is the time when actual combat is more important than training.

‘If you return to your family without any achievements, that’s the end of it.’

He walked aimlessly.

We arrived at a village along the beach and stayed there for a night, where we met the village chief.

“The young men have been standing guard lately because of the monsters’ cries every night… … They have been injured and killed. They even kidnapped Alons Panther’s wife.”

He went straight to the monster’s village, cut off its head with a single stroke of his sword, and rescued the woman.

I thought it was a clean ending, except that the already married woman had the side effect of blushing at Harang.

“Oh, the hero of our village! I want to hear your noble name!”

Harang was worried. Second pseudonym.

The first alias was ‘Days’, the game ID he used in his previous life.

So then the second pseudonym is… … .

“The House of Representatives. The House of Representatives.”

“Hoewon! Remember your name!”

Somehow I ended up using the same name as Aegeum.

‘It would be difficult to use the Hawon sword right now.’

This was a ‘divine weapon’ that only existed in the world. Where else can you find a weapon that can change its form freely and has a blue glow? If you abuse this, your identity will definitely be revealed.

I had also magically dyed my hair, which was all white and black, so I decided that if I was going to do it, I might as well hide my identity, so I took out an ordinary iron sword.

Now that Harang had reached a certain level, even a cheap iron sword was powerful enough.

Harang left the village to the grand greetings of the villagers and walked along the forest path. It was autumn, the season when leaves rustle and fall.

The streets were beautiful, but the inside was not.

“Kehehe, give me what you’ve got!”

It was the first time he had encountered a group of street bandits who were uttering such third-rate lines. Harang looked at them with curious eyes. Of course, this was after he had beaten them half to death.

“Keuk, sa, sa… … .”

“If you’re going to commit banditry, at least show some sincerity.”

A man with a sword hanging openly on his waist is walking around alone, but doesn’t he have a sense of crisis? Even if you just look at Harang, you can tell he’s a master.

“I thought it was a sewer because I couldn’t feel any magic at all… … .”

It was only then that Harang realized the magic necklace that Kadalem had given him.

I think it would be difficult to detect the identity unless a 9-star or higher expert were to look closely.

‘The effect is certain.’

Kadalem’s magic never failed him.

“You are bandits, yet you know how to use magic?”

“Of course! The leader was once a white general who commanded the army! He taught us!”

“This is a bandit with unusually good specs.”

Harang even defeated the bandit leader who was from Baek In-jang.

When I dragged the leader to a nearby village, I received thanks again.

“Oh, thank you so much for eradicating the Baekdu Mountain Bandit Group, our biggest headache!”

It is said that even though they formed a mercenary force and deployed it to indiscriminately attack merchants coming and going from the village recently, it was of no use.

While I was worrying about what to do, Harang suddenly caught the governor and brought him to me. How relieved I must have felt.

“I would like to ask your honor!”

“This is the House of Representatives.”

He solved one problem for each village he went to. Occasionally, there were villages that didn’t have such problems, but most of them did.

In a world full of monsters, the villages of those who lacked military power were always at risk.

Sometimes, the entire village would conspire to attack Harang in the middle of the night, thinking he was a nobleman.

“Give me what you have, you noble!”

If he had been a knight from another noble family, he would have killed all those who attacked him without mercy, but he showed mercy. What Harang pursued was not a simple noble knight, but a warrior.

“Thank you for saving my life!!”

The goal was to have a broad mind that could forgive even those who pointed a knife at him. That’s why he spared even the most hated people.

This also helped me a lot in my mental development.

By showing mercy by saving people instead of killing them, Harang was gradually becoming a saint, even though he himself was unaware of it.

“Where is the Stone Tier Mine?”

Harang also had a destination right in front of him. He had been consistently completing quests since he was young, but he was still searching for the rewards he had not yet received. For now, he planned to travel around the entire continent and prioritize the quest completion rewards.

“Huh? Why would you go to an abandoned mine? It’s already known to be haunted by ghosts, so don’t go near it.”

Arriving in the mining town of Stonetil, Harang realizes that not everything goes as planned.

There must be a secret location hidden deep underground in the mine, but they say access is currently restricted and inaccessible.

‘It’s a ghost.’

Even so, it is a spirit. If you wrap it around a sword and swing it around, it will die. It is not a particularly scary existence to a martial artist who has trained his spirit.

However, it’s a different story when a very powerful ghost appears. They can’t be cut down even with a sword.

‘I don’t think a ghost like that would exist in a village like this.’

He looked at the rock mountain in the distance. Judging from the way the gaping hole had been filled with alloy, it seemed like the villagers were truly afraid of the Stone Tier mine.

It was even surrounded by a lot of sorcerer’s amulets and wizard’s barriers.

“You’re going to the Stone Tier Mine? Don’t go there! You’ll get cursed for nothing!”

“Did you start hearing the groaning noise again there recently?”

“I’m scared to death. There’s even a story that a miner named Johnson from the next town who had some business nearby saw a ghost there and fainted.”

“I heard that some adventurers went nearby and disappeared a while ago… … .”

“Hey, what’s with the disappearance? They must have just left because there was nothing there!”

“Hmm… … .”

Harang stroked his chin and pondered. It wouldn’t be a big deal to break through that barrier, but the villagers could be put in danger.

That means that in the end, you have to deal with the ghost inside the mine, but it’s not easy to catch it because it doesn’t reveal its true form.

‘I guess I can just make a temporary entrance to the barrier and drill a hole just big enough to allow me to go in and out for a little while.’

It was entirely possible for Harang, who possessed the Morning Star Eye and was skilled in magic.

If possible, I wanted to proceed in a way that would not break the barrier.

* * *

Harang, who arrived at the Stone Tier Mine, frowned.

‘What is this?’

About 200 soldiers and knights were lined up in front of the Stone Tear Mine. In front of them, a young-looking nobleman wearing a splendid plate spoke with pride as he looked at the cave barrier.

“Is this the treasure our ancestors spoke of?”

“Yes, according to the map, it is definitely the Stone Tier Abandoned Mine.”

“The villagers are stupid too. They sealed off a mine full of treasures. Now, wizards! Break the barrier!”

“Yep! Got it!”

At the nobleman’s command, magicians rushed in from behind and began to draw a magic circle near the barrier.

Since Harang was trying to protect the barrier, she had no choice but to step forward.

“Let’s stop. Breaking the barrier isn’t a good idea.”

“Huh? What is it?”

The nobleman quickly scanned Harang. Although he was wearing clothes that looked luxurious, he did not have the family crest, and his eyes and hair were plain black. A nobleman would not do something so ugly as to hide his identity, so the man in front of him was a commoner.

So, the thing to do is simple.

“Beat that bastard’s neck.”

The man was truly the epitome of nobility.
