#Episode 48
Jin Shihou continued to hit Zheng Chengbei in the face.
It was merciless.
Jeong Seong-ju was definitely not human. His face was constantly replayed, but it was meaningless. He struggled to escape, but that was also meaningless. When he waved his arms, his arms were pulled out, and when he waved his legs, his legs were pulled out.
However, it continued to play out. Naturally, Jin Shihou did not stop the violence.
Jeong Seong-ju was beaten to the point of being pitiful.
No one could stop Jin Shihou. No, they couldn’t stop him. The current Jin Shihou looked like someone who absolutely could not be touched.
Jin Shi-hoo slowly stood up from his seat.
And then, kaak, phew.
He spat on Jeong Seong-ju’s face, which was full of phlegm, and then stomped on his face. Nothing more.
Jin Shi-hoo started walking again. The place he moved to was behind Chairman Jeong Jae-seok.
I pressed down on Jeong Jae-seok’s shoulders with both hands.
“Huh, I don’t know what to call you, but I’ll just do whatever feels comfortable to me. Can I call you Master?”
There is a saying that silence is positivity.
Jin Shi-hoo pointed at Jeong Hyo-ju, who was sitting in her seat, with his index finger.
“Sir, does that look normal?”
Jeong Hyo-ju didn’t even show any sign of pain on her face.
Clearly, his shoulder was completely torn, blood was flowing out like crazy, and even the bones were exposed, but there was not a single change in his expression.
A normal person would have screamed like a deer that had been hit by a car. Jeong Hyo-ju’s cold eyes stare at Jin Si-hoo.
Of course, Jin Shihou ignored it.
He slightly strengthened the hand that was holding Jeong Jae-seok’s shoulder.
The real Jeong Seong-ju and Jeong Hyo-ju died on Titan.
The Jeong Seong-ju and Jeong Hyo-ju who are on this Earth now are fake.
“Okay, sir. It’s time to open your eyes.”
* * *
“Don’t give it any strange meaning.”
He answered Jeong Hyo-ju, who pulled the blanket over her and covered her body.
“Don’t do that.”
“… … I repeat, you and I are enemies. Don’t tell anyone about what happened today. I believe that people from the same Earth have that much loyalty.”
“There is loyalty, but does it have to be between enemies? Just because we are physically related.”
“The White Lotus Sect is the enemy of all nations. I don’t think you, its leader, would not know that.”
“That was before I became the leader, and now that I am the leader, the White Lotus Sect is not the White Lotus Sect of the past.”
“You must be foolish.”
He chuckled and put on some clothes. There must be cigarettes in his arms…
“Do you like cigarettes?”
“Do you smoke cigarettes for the taste?”
“Then what do you smoke?”
“You smoke with your soul.”
“You’re shaking.”
I waved my hand roughly and took out a cigarette and lit it. Then, a small flame appeared in front of me. I turned my head slightly. It was Jeong Hyo-ju on the bed.
Jeong Hyo-ju was a great magician. A strong man among strong men who had already surpassed the realm of trance.
You can even set off fireworks in the air while you sleep.
“thank you.”
Jeong Hyo-ju asked me as I was inhaling the smoke.
“hey.”
“why?”
“But why do you keep speaking informally?”
“Can’t I do it?”
“Of course not. Do you know how big the age gap is between you and me?”
“9 years old.”
“… … I know very well.”
I shrugged my shoulders. Jeong Hyo-ju spoke to me like that.
“I don’t understand.”
“what?”
“Are you human?”
It was so absurd that I ended up laughing.
“Then what do I look like?”
“monster.”
“Stop talking nonsense.”
“… … No, how can your strength be explained if you’re not a monster? Of all the kids who fell to Titan, you’re the most unique. How can a kid who’s the youngest reach that level in just 7 years?”
“I was lucky.”
Jeong Hyo-ju, who was at a loss for words, let out a sigh. Then she buried her face in the blanket she pulled up. She went over and sat down next to her.
“Why are you so sad? Did I do something wrong?”
“… … It’s not like that. It’s just that I feel complicated because of my thoughts about you.”
“Jeong Seong-ju?”
“Yeah, something seems so crooked.”
He took a cigarette and thought for a moment.
Among those who fell to Titan, Jeong Seong-ju and Jeong Hyo-ju were, unusually, siblings.

To say that it was unique would probably be an understatement, since those two were the only family members.
“Dungeon Master? Are you crazy?”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden? I thought you were crazy from the moment I started hanging out with monsters.”
“… … The older brother I know was a really affectionate person. He used to cover up for all the criticism I got from my stubborn mother, and instead, he would tell me that I was doing well and not to be discouraged, but now he’s acting like a psychopath.”
It was only natural that something like this would come out.
The talents of Jeong Hyo-ju and Jeong Seong-ju were special.
Jeong Hyo-ju as a magician. Jeong Seong-ju as a dungeon master.
What is a dungeon master here? He’s basically like the king of the monsters.
Titan is huge. There must be nations made up entirely of monsters, and there are probably more than ten of them.
Jeong Seong-ju is in charge of one of those ten countries.
“So, you want me to kill you?”
“Why? If you ask me, I’ll do it for you.”
“Since we’re already in a relationship, wouldn’t it be possible for me to grant you even that kind of favor?”
Jeong Hyo-ju, who burst into laughter, shook her head.
“Okay. Family matters are for the family to handle. Oh, now that we’re on the subject, I heard you were looking for a way to return to Earth?”
“I’m looking for it. But there’s no harvest.”
Jeong Hyo-ju reached out and lightly touched my shoulder.
“I once read a very old book in the royal library. It was written there.”
“What did it say?”
“There are two ways to travel through dimensions. Opening a dimensional gate with your own power.”
“Is that possible?”
“Theoretically, it’s possible. But for that to be possible, you’d have to have an incredibly high understanding of magic. Even a Dragon Lord probably wouldn’t be able to do that.”
“Then what about the other one?”
“Breaking the dimensional stones.”
“… … Dimensional Stone?”
“I don’t know where it is. There’s a chance that the Dragon Lord has it, but that’s not certain. They say that using the Dimension Stone awakens the soul’s homing instinct.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Just go back to where you belong. We’re strangers. Our souls weren’t ‘born’ here. The Dimensional Stones are supposed to pierce through the dimension and transport you to where your soul was born. That’s all there is to the method in the book. So.”
“If you want to return to Earth, find the Dimension Stone?”
Jeong Hyo-ju nodded.
“You’re giving me too much information, should I go and kill Jeong Seong-ju?”
“Don’t say anything weird. I’ll take care of my brother.”
“Are you sure?”
“If you’re not confident, don’t even bring it up. Okay, since we’re on the subject, let me ask you a favor.”
“What favor?”
“… … If you go back to Earth, honestly, I want to go with you, but I probably won’t be able to go.”
“why?”
“I don’t know if that dimension stone applies to the majority or the minority.”
I understand. It was a reasonable question to ask.
“And, I think I’ll be buried here on Titan.”
He looked at Jeong Hyo-ju with strange eyes. She was an interesting woman. She was also a good woman.
She shakes her head and strokes my shoulder again.
“My father, he must be very heartbroken to lose two children at the same time. And my nephew, he was a very obedient child… … I’m worried.”
I looked at Jeong Hyo-ju silently.
“If I ask you to take care of my dad and my nephew, will you do it?”
There was no reason to worry.
He nodded without a moment’s hesitation.
“I’ll listen to that request.”
“thank you.”
It was a simple reason. Jeong Hyo-ju was a good woman, and I received a lot of help from Jeong Hyo-ju. If I couldn’t receive this much help, I should go out and die.
“Give me a cigarette.”
“Smoking late is bad for your health.”
“Stop talking nonsense and just give it to me.”
He put the cigarette, still lit, into Jeong Hyo-ju’s mouth.
She inhaled the smoke. Slowly, she exhaled it.
She smiled brightly.
“it’s good.”
A year later, Jeong Hyo-ju died.
* * *
Yes, Jeong Hyo-ju is dead.
I didn’t see the moment of death, but I confirmed that the remains were recovered. I also took revenge on his behalf.
That’s why that girl sitting there acting hypocritical right now is not the Jeong Hyo-ju I know.
“Sir, do you have a rough idea of the situation now?”
“… …Who are you?”
“You’re talking out of the blue. I’m Jin Shi-hoo. I’m the younger brother of Jin Song-yi, the hero of the Republic of Korea.”
“… … When I heard the story over the phone, I was skeptical. I thought it was a smokescreen to promote collaboration between companies, but it was true?”
I don’t know exactly what my sister and I talked about on the phone. I just know that she had a general idea that you have a doppelganger and that your two children are both fake. That’s all I know.
“Then, you must have killed the 200th apostle who was pretending to be you.”
“I guess we’ve reached that point.”
He looked at his sister with a strange look. She shrugged her shoulders. After that, she also slowly stood up from her seat.
I just patted the inspiration on the shoulder.
“I think you understand it, but you still feel confused. I will assure you, so watch what happens next.”
He just turned his head away.
“Sister.”
“huh.”
“Sister and the Guild members over there, take care of Jeong Seong-ju who’s stuck there. Don’t take him lightly. You know that guy we saw in Texas before?”
“I know.”
“He’s weaker than that guy, so just play with him and then kill him. There’s no information to be gained from him, and there’s no need to take prisoners or hostages.”
No one contradicted me.
If you have a head, two eyes, and common sense, you can’t help but know that I’m the one ruling this space right now.
I walked forward. There was a table in front of me, so I climbed up onto it. Then I crouched down in front of Jeong Hyo-ju.
Their eyes look into each other’s eyes.
He took a cigarette out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it.
Jeong Hyo-ju just watched the whole situation blankly.
He took the smoke deep into his lungs and blew it out.
“… … How rude.”
“Is that a compliment? Thanks.”
I repeated the same process one more time. Jeong Hyo-ju frowned. She glared at me with both eyes.
“Get attached. Stop staring and try using that first draft or something.”
Jeong Hyo-ju, or rather, the thing with Jeong Hyo-ju’s face, answered in a quiet voice.
“What if you don’t like it?”
I ended up laughing.
“I guess it looks like I’m asking for something.”
“… … .”
“Okay. If you don’t want to do it, don’t do it. Sir.”
“… …Why are you calling me?”
“We are building a new building.”
“……what?”
Without answering, he just clenched his fist. The white smoke flowing out of his body covered his shoulder and his fist. He just swung it.
