Ramyu (1)
I could tell right away.
That I am dreaming right now.
“Seonghyun! You should get ready soon! What time is it and you still haven’t woken up?”
“Tsk tsk, I told you to wake up early today.”
“If you keep doing this, you’ll miss the train! Get up, wash up, and get ready!”
He faintly hears his mother’s voice calling him and his father’s tongue clicking.
Two people I miss and cannot see anymore.
I wanted to run to them right away and hug them tightly, but my body wouldn’t move as I wanted.
As if only watching was allowed, he got up from bed, staggering, and headed to the bathroom as usual.
“Son, to be successful, a person must experience the wide world. And there is nothing better than traveling.”
“Oh my, this guy is really something. He’s saying things like that after letting me go on a trip abroad.”
“No, this guy? You know? It’s not that I can’t let you do it, but foreign countries aren’t as safe as Korea, so if you’re not careful….”
“Ah, I get it, I get it. I can’t say anything.”
And soon I could see what time my current dream was reflecting.
A family trip we took every year to celebrate our wedding anniversary, led by my father who loves to travel.
“By the way, doesn’t it feel a bit empty this year because two people are missing?”
“There’s nothing I can do. Grandma is getting older now. Taesan said he’d stay by Grandma’s side.”
“I feel so sorry for causing trouble so far, so we made plans among ourselves, but… I still feel a little uneasy. Should I have just let it slide this year?”
After finding out about Taesan’s situation, I always went on trips with the two of them, but on this day, for the first time in a long while, the three of us went on a trip together.
And he knew very well what happened after that.
‘No! Don’t go!’
But there was nothing I could do.
He screamed as he saw himself heading to Seoul Station with his parents, but the voice only lingered inside him and did not reach them.
‘no!!’
and···.
“Wow, what a view. Son, it was a good decision to come here, wasn’t it?”
“Oh my, this is delicious! I have to buy a lot of it when I go. I have to give it to Taesan!”
The accident that was vivid in his memory never happened.
Until I returned home after a very ordinary and slightly boring trip.
‘···I see. So this is a dream after all.’
At that moment, I could clearly understand what kind of dream this was.
In the first place, dreams are nothing more than the remains of thoughts left in the brain strung together in a plausible way.
It wouldn’t be strange if it showed a situation that he had desperately hoped for and imagined, rather than a harsh reality.
From then on, I was able to watch the situation unfold with a much more relaxed mind.
As is the case with most dreams, the flow of time was unclear and uneven, but it wasn’t difficult to figure out roughly how much time had passed.
“He’s sleeping in again. Wake up quickly!”
“Didn’t that guy say he had a lecture this morning?”
“That’s what I’m saying. You’re going to run out again without even eating because you’re late. Hey, Seonghyeon!”
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
He graduated from high school normally and entered a university in Seoul according to his grades.
Since I was doing okay in my studies, I was able to get into a fairly prestigious school, even though it was just a passing grade.
Of course, I couldn’t help but compare myself to my friend who received a full scholarship while working part-time.
“Hi Seonghyun.”
“uh···.”
“What? Why are you so dead in the morning? Are you up all night again?”
“Haam… I have a promotion match.”
“Huh, you’re really going to die like that?”
I yawned peacefully and chatted with Taesan.
The world was noisy with the Awakened and the super-powered criminals, but it didn’t have much of an impact on his daily life.
Korea has a relatively safe public security system compared to other countries, and as always, those who have suffered tragedies have been a minority compared to those who have not.
Just like his original self was.
In this dream, he simply became one of the majority.
-The following is news from around the world. The villain, “■■■”, who had invaded Zhongnanhai, the heart of China, has finally been arrested after a long search. He had caused enormous damage during that time…
The scary incidents and accidents that were being talked about on TV were also stories that were far removed from my current self.
How much time has passed like that?
Paragraphs of repetitive daily life passed by quickly.
Exams, birthdays, relationships, travel, games, heartbreak, etc.
He grew little by little, crying and laughing at the ordinary yet slightly special events that most people experience.
‘Maybe living like this wouldn’t be so bad.’
A life without the power or authority to control the world, but with small happinesses shared with loved ones.
It was such a peaceful scene that I could have easily accepted that this was the future I had hoped for.
okay.
Until the mood suddenly changed.
‘What is this?’
One day, the light disappeared from the sky.
At first I didn’t realize what was happening.
Because he was too small to notice it right away.

Kurururung—
But soon after, my gaze met with a giant eye that covered the sky.
I couldn’t help but instinctively realize what was happening.
The sky… no, something so huge that you could hold the entire Earth in one hand was looking down from above.
‘Is that really an eye pupil?’
Maybe not.
The brain, unable to understand what it saw with its eyes, may have roughly imagined what it felt most similar to.
But that wasn’t what mattered now.
[■■■■■—!]
An unknown message, from where it originated, shook my mind.
But he, who had no abilities, could not do anything.
The same was true for the top transcendent beings who had been wielding omnipotent power.
That was literally a ‘god’ in itself, something that mortals could not do anything about.
And right after that.
I, Han Seong-hyeon—.
“······.”
—I stared blankly up at the familiar ceiling, lost in thought.
‘What the hell is this dream?’
As is always the case with dreams, I open my eyes and quickly recall a few important things from my fading memory.
For example… the vivid images of parents that can now only be seen in photographs.
“Yeah, but it was okay until just before the end···.”
A world where you can’t awaken your abilities without losing your parents.
At the time I was in the middle of a dream, I didn’t feel anything particularly strange, but looking back now, there were more than a few things that were different from reality to the point where I felt a sense of discomfort.
No, in fact, I would say there were more parts that were different than similar.
‘Well, that’s what dreams are all like.’
I shrugged and got up from bed.
Maybe it was because the dream genre suddenly changed to horror, but I wanted to wash up quickly because of the cold sweat that came down while I was sleeping.
‘It’s not just horror, it’s cosmic horror. Well, it’s funny that I’m scared of ghosts and monsters now.’
Without realizing it, a snicker escaped my lips.
An immortal king who rules over moving corpses including ghosts, a vampire king who reigns at the top of vampires, a demon king who rules over the underworld standing on top of the demons, and even a monster that devours all kinds of bizarre creatures like nutritious snacks.
I couldn’t help but laugh when I imagined those avatars, who were only used to causing fear in others, trembling with fear.
After washing up with a refreshed mind, the discomfort I had felt when I woke up from the dream had completely disappeared.
I sat down in the armchair with a cup of warm coffee in my hand and sang softly.
“So—so, what caused me to suddenly have this dream?”
I had no intention of dismissing it as just a dream.
If I were just an ordinary person, it might be different, but how could I, whose soul was enlarged enough to contain the seed of divinity, have a meaningless dream?
At this point, even thoughts that came to mind without any context often ended up meeting the truth.
‘I think it’s because of the future Heinrich saw when he got his hands on the mythical fruit… But the circumstances are too different to call it a precognitive dream.’
But I couldn’t blindly believe it.
Since he is not a person with the ability to foresee and cannot tell where the truth begins and where it ends and what is an illusion, the fact remains that the information is uncertain.
‘No, even those with the ability to predict can’t guarantee 100% accuracy. They don’t just keep making vague statements for no reason.’
After that, I sipped coffee for a long time and collected my thoughts.
During this process, several hypotheses circulated in my mind, but one thing was important at the moment.
‘What I mean is that we must thoroughly prepare ourselves to be able to respond reliably to whatever happens in the future.’
Even if we have to deal with an alien deity that has invaded Earth.
In a situation where it was difficult to deal with the Burning Clan, I couldn’t help but sigh as I was now burdened with other worries.
I wish there was someone who could help me share this burden…
With that thought in mind, I took another sip of coffee.
“Phuhu!”
I couldn’t get over it and just blurted it out.
Then, he blinked with a bewildered expression and hurriedly moved his avatars.
‘What is this? How did this happen?’
Hoon, the individual who lived with Ramyu, roughly opened one of the doors.
It was rude and inconsiderate to do in a girl’s room, but there was nothing I could do about it now.
‘does not exist.’
Just in case.
There was no one in the room.
I was sure it was here just a moment ago!
‘There’s a chance that he went out the window… No, no.’
Ramyu was locked in the room voluntarily, she was never locked up in the first place.
There was also no trace left of the barrier installed for security purposes.
Although it may not be as strong as the main mansion, this residence must have been well-guarded.
“Whew. Could it really be true?”
Hoon took a deep breath and caught his breath.
Actually, there was no need to move so urgently.
I just double-checked to make sure I had an accurate picture of the situation, but I already knew where she was.
To be more precise.
It was through you that I first found out.
He focused his mind on the avatar at the location where Ramyu’s location was confirmed.
Gold Dragon, to Horus.
‘How on earth did you get there?’
Ramyu, who was on Earth until just a moment ago.
I was in Ganghwan-gye now.
***
The Yongsinjeon was in chaos.
Even in Geumodo Island, which is considered the home of monsters, an outsider has intruded into the place that boasts the tightest security.
In the midst of such strict security, the abode of the baby yellow dragon Hwiryeong.
The first to spot the intruder was the Black Dragon.
She could be seen coming to see Hwiryeong with various snacks as usual without telling the other Oryong.
A human girl in her early teens was seen laughing and joking with her precious treasure.
There is no need to mention what happened immediately after that.
Because the commotion around me just now was showing it at a glance.
“How dare a human enter the Dragon God Hall···!”
A girl in her mid-teens with long, braided black hair, the Black Dragon gnashed her teeth and emitted a jet-black aura.
She already had an extreme hatred for humans.
But, I ended up encountering that kind of person in the worst possible way…
[Whoa! Gyaaang—!]
If Hwiryeong hadn’t wrapped her long body around the human child and barked ferociously, something bad would have happened already.
“Your friend? What are you talking about, Hwiryeong! How can a human be your friend? No, more than that, how could you, who has always been inside this place, have any other friends···.”
[Kyuurur! Kyauk!]
“···Who, who says you don’t have any friends! There’s nothing I can’t say to my sister! I can’t do it. Come here. I think I’ve been too demanding all this time···.”
[Hmph~!]
“Ugh! This is···!”
Horus, who had been informed of the presence of the intruder through emergency contact and had rushed to the scene, sighed in relief after assessing the situation.
Fortunately, thanks to Hwiryeong’s active involvement, the situation did not develop into the one we were worried about.
He slowly approached the place where the commotion was taking place, leaving behind the other dragons that were arriving one after another.
To be more precise—to Ramyu, the girl protected by the golden aura flowing from Whi-Ryung’s body.
[Qwing!]
Hwiryeong nodded her head in delight at seeing him.
It seemed as if she wanted to wrap herself around his body right away, but she seemed to be holding back in order to protect Ramyu.
“Horus! You came at a good time! You talk to him!”
The black dragon also welcomed him.
I was afraid that I would use my strength in vain and Hwiryeong would get hurt, so I couldn’t do anything, but if it was Horus, who Hwiryeong followed very well, I would definitely be able to persuade him somehow.
“ah···.”
And his appearance, which made him look like he was only five or six years old, also had the effect of relieving Ramyu’s tension, which had been frozen in the sudden turn of events.
Encouraged by everyone’s support, Horus stepped forward and quickly sorted out the situation.
After calming down the horned black dragon and making it retreat, and gently soothing the extremely sensitive Hwiryeong, Tyler listened to Ramyu’s detailed story while constantly looking around.
“···So, I just wanted to meet you, but when I came to my senses, you were here?”
“Yeah, ···no, yes.”
Horus made a subtle expression upon hearing that answer.
You didn’t specifically mention a specific world or coordinates, but you just crossed the dimensional wall with the thought of wanting to see someone?
And that too, at the exact location of the target, without leaving any trace?
“Then, can we go back to where we came from? The same way we came here.”
“Ah? Um… I’ll give it a try. ···”
Ramyu groaned at those words, her eyes tightly shut.
Like that for about a minute.
There was a moment when I thought, “This might have been too much.”
[Huh?]
Her appearance disappeared as if washed away.
As if it was strange, Hwiryeong wandered around the place where Ramyu had been just a moment ago, but there was no trace left there anymore.
and.
“···Huh? Over there···.”
Hoon met Ramyu’s gaze as she suddenly appeared in the empty room and smiled in vain.
‘With this skill, which is not even mastered yet, I can say that there is almost no cooldown or delay. What kind of fraudulent ability is this?’
It seems that he picked up a child who was more amazing than he had expected.
