Sabacheon (2)
‘What should I do with this?’
A dilemma.
You can neither fight back nor run away.
Dismissal—dismissal!
The woman was already fully prepared and was raising her spirits.
It seemed that Hoon thought that the remnants left here were formidable opponents, and that he was planning to give it his all from the start.
At that moment, the situation was on the brink of collapse.
“Hey, wait a minute! Just wait a minute, sis!”
Just as things were about to reach a point of no return, a voice that broke the chain of events rang out.
“So-Hui, just wait a minute. Right now, let’s start with that magic practitioner…”
“That, that is… I don’t think that’s right, Sister! I think there’s some kind of misunderstanding….”
“···What? What do you mean?”
The woman frowned at the unexpected remark.
Even so, she never took her eyes off Hoon and followed his every move.
To respond immediately the moment he shows even the slightest hint of something suspicious.
“He is the one who saved me when I was kidnapped and imprisoned. He also caught all the criminals in the process.”
“···You weren’t in league with those guys?”
“Yes! Besides that, there are more than a few things that cannot be explained.”
Yoon So-hui calmly persuaded her sister as if the fear she had felt just a moment ago was a lie.
He was a talented person known for his intelligence even within the Seongcheon Yun family.
When I was first exposed to the aftereffects of the negative mental waves, my mind momentarily stiffened, but soon after a trustworthy ally appeared and I regained my composure, I was able to feel the discomfort again.
A conversation that was strangely disjointed, as I didn’t know much about Seongcheon Yun-ga.
The attitude of using one’s abilities confidently and then belatedly trying to explain something after seeing one’s own reaction.
At first, I just thought it was unique and passed it by, but it was exotic clothing.
‘There are more than a few other strange things. I was just a bonus, and the fact that I came in to save that girl···.’
It is also the case that he first took out the masters in the basement of the hideout, and then took down the thugs on the surface on his way out.
Common sense tells us that if we entered from the outside, wouldn’t it make sense to deal with the enemy outside first?
And there was one element in this world that could explain such incomprehensible parts.
“Are you by any chance… from another world?”
A person from another world who has crossed the dimensional wall.
Wanderers, each with their own unique abilities, who grow rapidly and bring about big and small changes to the world.
Yun So-hoe, a descendant of the Seongcheon Yun family, also knew about them well.
Wasn’t the founder of their family from another world?
If you think that the ability that man showed was not the magic chakra, but rather a part of some special ability…
“Oh? That’s smart. I was wondering how to explain it.”
···I could fully understand that aspect.
After all, there were quite a few aspects of the people from this world that did not fit with the common sense of this world.
Even taking that into account, it still seems a little crazy.
“Another world person? That man is from another world?”
The woman, with her eyes wide open, looked at the man again, unable to hide her bewilderment.
Certainly, thinking about it that way, I felt quite a bit of discomfort.
Up until now, I thought he was using some kind of means to hide his energy, but it seems like he never trained his chakras in the first place.
“Ha, but this is… um.”
The woman’s spirits began to slowly subside as she blinked several times.
The reason she was hostile to Hoon was because she thought he was a practitioner of magic.
Their notoriety in human disguise was literally horrific.
But if that wasn’t the case…
“···But still, not everything is certain. I can’t just let it go like this.”
Finally, she let out a small sigh, took a step back, and offered a compromise.
If all of this is a trick by an evil sorcerer, wouldn’t we be blatantly overlooking the world’s evil right before our eyes?
As a person who was true to her principles, she could not take such a risk.
“Excuse me, but could you accompany us for a moment? There are already several aliens residing in our household, so it shouldn’t take too long to check them out.”
If it is confirmed, it can be of help in various ways while living on this earth in the future.
Hoon couldn’t help but nod at her polite but firm words.
‘Because I had nowhere to go anyway.’
Until Ramyu came to her senses, she was bound to this world without being able to move.
If you think about it, this situation isn’t so bad since you’ll have a place to stay in the meantime.
As the warriors of Yun family sensed the commotion, they gathered one after another and began to control the scene.
Hoon, carrying Ramyu, followed the two people.
Long ago, the greatest trace left on this land by the great hero who ended the long war and brought peace to the world.
To the center of the storm that was slowly beginning to swirl.
***
If I had to describe the dimension of Sabacheon in one word…
It could be said to be a kind of ‘oriental fantasy’ world.
Starting with the architectural style that is mainly made of wood and tiles, to the loose clothing that is made by hardly cutting the fabric.
At first glance, it felt similar to the Ganghwan world of the martial arts world, but there were clear differences between them.
‘That’s amazing.’

In the middle of a fairly large city’s downtown area.
Hoon narrowed his eyes as he looked out the window of the slowly moving carriage at the street vendor grilling skewers.
The sight of the flames in the brazier dancing around as they pleased, cooking the meat just right, felt like watching a stunt.
“Huh? Are you hungry?”
“Oh, that’s not it. He just looks like an ordinary civilian, but it’s amazing how he can manipulate chakra.”
“Ah, it was you.”
Yoon So-hoe, who followed Hoon’s gaze and glanced at the street vendor, shrugged her shoulders.
And then he continued talking as if it was no big deal.
“Chakra is a power that anyone can use as long as they understand the subject. Of course, without proper teaching and talent, there are limits to how much you can grow.”
As he said, the level of middle-aged street vendors was not that high.
Because now, he looked even younger than Yoon So-hoe, who was only in her early teens.
By this standard, it could be said that it is an entry level stage that has not even reached the lower levels.
“It looks like that street vendor has only been grilling meat since he opened his fire chakra. However, in order to grow further, he needs other methods. Things like lighting a fire for several days and feeling the heat with his whole body, or putting his hand in the fire are the most basic of the basics…”
Hoon looked out the window again, ignoring Yoon So-hui’s words as she chattered and showed off her knowledge in the seat across from him.
That street vendor wasn’t the only one who used chakras in his daily life.
A woman shaking out her laundry several times to dry it completely, a porter carrying a heavy load that doesn’t match his size, a merchant selling vegetables that are a little fresher, etc.
Even though the level was not that high, the sight of even these seemingly ordinary people using mysticism so casually was amazing to his eyes, who had experienced various dimensions.
‘Chakra… It looks quite useful.’
Hoon’s eyes sparkled.
Unlike other common mysteries, the chakras, which deal with the concept itself, were also an interesting topic to him.
If you can handle that, wouldn’t it be a great help to you?
“···In that sense, those who can simply use chakras are different from practitioners. In order to raise one’s level, one must be able to endure any kind of asceticism to be called a practitioner. Generally, from the moment one passes the entrance and enters the lower level···.”
“It’s my opinion.”
While I was watching Yoon So-hoe’s long speech on the radio from outside the carriage,
The woman who had been sitting quietly next to the boy until now opened her mouth softly.
“I’ve arrived.”
“ah!”
As soon as he finished saying that, the carriage they were riding in stopped.
At the main gate of the manor, the wall was so long that you couldn’t see the end of it through the window.
“I already told my family about the situation in advance when I contacted them, so it shouldn’t take too long to process.”
“Ah! As expected, it’s Sister Lucette. Thank you.”
“What, it’s something that should be done.”
The woman, Yun Lucette, smiled softly as she stroked the head of Yun So-hui, who was looking up at her with shining eyes.
The little boy Yun So-hoe with a western appearance and the beautiful Yun Lucette with an oriental appearance.
‘···I guess I still can’t get used to it.’
There was no choice.
If this is the culture of this world, then I, as a foreigner, have no choice but to adapt.
Hoon sighed softly as he stroked Ramyu’s hair, who was still sleeping with her head resting on his thigh.
***
Seongcheon Yunga was a huge force recognized everywhere in Sabahcheon.
It had to be that way.
They were located between Hongsan and Cheonghae, the main players in the Hundred Years’ War. They were just a family, but in reality, they were a military group and a monarch ruling an independent city-state.
The power of Yun Ga, who maintained the balance between the two superpowers dividing the world and acted as their mediator, was equally enormous.
‘Seeing it in person like this makes me feel anew how amazing it is. And the fact that such a force has been maintained for decades without collapsing.’
That was all possible because the origins of the Yun family were different from those of ordinary families.
Although they are called descendants, in reality, not a single member of the clan had the blood of the founder.
Weren’t the people who followed the ancestors and the war orphans who were taken in during the chaos the beginning of the family?
As such, bloodline was not that important to them.
“Wow!”
“Hey! You come here!”
“Whoa~ Sister···.”
Hoon, who was passing by Jangwon, came across another orphanage and stuck out his tongue.
How many times has this happened?
What was even more surprising was that, despite their young age, most of the children were so talented that they had opened or were on the verge of opening the gates of their chakras.
‘Are you bringing in talented children from all over the world and raising them as pillars of your family?’
It seems that this was the driving force that enabled Yun Ga to become so successful.
Yoon So-hoe, who is in her early teens but has a glimpse into the middle class beyond the lower classes, and Yoon Lucette, who has reached the depths in her twenties.
They were all those who had proven their qualifications and were permitted to use the surname ‘Yun’.
“Hmm, you are definitely from Earth.”
“I think so too. It is difficult to acquire such common sense knowledge.”
It wasn’t that difficult to verify that Hoon was from another world.
Because all I had to do was talk to the Earthlings who were staying here as guests.
It was then that a small problem arose.
“Hey, wait a minute! So where are you from…?”
Yoon So-hoe, who had been watching blankly from the side, forgot her usual solemn tone and hurriedly asked back.
Lucette, who had not let her guard down against Hoon until the very end, also opened her eyes wide.
It was a look that was extremely burdensome, with its eyes flashing like lightning, but I couldn’t help but respond.
“Korea… and if it’s Seoul…!”
“Wait a minute, what about Sijo? Do you happen to know Sijo too?”
As you know.
We talked and even shook hands.
‘It’s also a relationship where we have decided to cooperate with each other.’
But since it was obvious what kind of reaction he would get if he answered like that, Hoon just nodded.
Even that alone made it difficult for a while to calm down the two excited people.
Among the Earthlings, there are hundreds of Koreans, and the probability of being transferred to Sabacheon among these dimensions is high.
And the probability that they will survive to the end and reach the territory of the city-state of Seongcheon Yunga.
And considering the probability that they would reveal their identities and engage in conversation afterwards, it was not surprising that they were overreacting like this.
Considering the span of several decades, it may have happened a few times, but considering their ages, it would have been difficult to have a relationship even then.
“Tell me more about the details···.”
“Is your Majesty well? What about our world…”
He glanced around and looked at a large painting hanging on the wall.
A world where everyone suffers from a war where people kill each other.
Dozens of lightning bolts struck from the thunderclouds that filled the sky.
At its center, a goddess descends to the earth with a holy light covering her entire body.
Yun Ji-yoon, the founder of the Yun family of the Sabacheon Seongcheon (聖天) sect.
On Earth, he is the head of the Seoul Southern Branch of the Korean Returnees Association.
‘···They don’t look alike at all.’
Hoon, who was looking at the painting depicting a peerless beauty with a subtle expression, nodded slightly.
Well, glorifying the object of worship is something that happens everywhere.
‘Still, it’s a good thing. They won’t treat me badly. I can stay here for a while and learn chakra.’
For some reason, even after several hours, Ramyu still hadn’t woken up.
There didn’t seem to be any health problems, but… if this continues, some kind of special measure will have to be taken.
There doesn’t seem to be a safer place in the world than here, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to use this as a base and keep an eye on the situation.
“So, the founder···”
“Maybe your ancestor···”
…No, maybe I should think about it again.
***
“failure?”
The creature in the darkness twitched its lips.
Even he could not help but react sensitively to the news that a plan that had been reviewed and reconfirmed several times had failed.
“···What is the cause?”
No answer came.
But the being in the dark slowly nodded as if it had heard the answer and began to gently stroke its chin.
“No, the magic practitioners would not have betrayed. They were the ones who wanted this plan more than anyone else.”
The Hundred Years’ War ended decades ago.
It was truly the golden age of the magic practitioners, a time when death, hunger, violence, despair, and suffering abounded wherever one went.
It was no secret now that they were behind the war that had lasted for so long.
Compared to that time, the current state of power has shrunk so drastically that it is nothing short of miserable.
If you look closely, Seongcheon Yunga is no different from the enemy of all magic practitioners.
But wouldn’t they betray us and try to sabotage our plans?
“This is ominous. Let’s look into it in more detail. Everything related to this matter, even the smallest details.”
The being in the darkness muttered softly, feeling that if it was just passed over, there would be great repercussions.
There was still no answer, but he closed his eyes tightly as if all conversation was over.
His mind was racing with thoughts of the plans he had made so far and the things he had to do next.
“···The atmosphere is stirring.”
Although he had no foresight, thanks to his astronomy studies, he was able to catch a glimpse of the ways of the world, and he was able to feel it vaguely.
Even at this very moment.
That something unknown was slowly reaching out.
But as long as he had no intention of giving up everything he had done so far, his work was set.
“I guess we need to hurry up with the plan.”
Immediately after those words were spoken.
The signs that had lingered in the darkness disappeared without a trace.
As if there was nothing from the beginning.
