7 min read1,822 words

The existence who was abruptly dragged to another world the moment he turned twenty.

After an unfathomable amount of time, he stood before the god who brought him there, having surpassed even the god.

"Are you really going to return?"

"......I have to. It was for this that I spent hundreds, thousands of years."

"Even if all the hundreds, thousands of years you worked so hard for are sealed away when you return to Earth?"

"Yes. After all, they are only a part of me. Even if they are all sealed away, I should still be a superhuman capable of easily knocking out most humans."

"......That's absurd. For the Oh Master who surpassed even a god to be satisfied with just being a superhuman...... It's impossible!"

The goddess trembled and shook her head, but the man known as Oh Master, Park Hae-sung, did not change his mind.

"The dimension you wish for has become so clean that neither I nor you are needed anymore. The only thing left is the share of the survivors in this dimension. If I stay here, I'll be a poison to them."

"......But."

"Shh, let's stop. My family. Mother. Father. And my only younger sister. It's time to meet them now."

"......I understand. Then I'll prepare."

"Okay, thank you. Baek-seol."

"......Don't call me that."

"Blame it on the princess in the fairy tale from the world I lived in."

Baek-seol, the goddess with snow-white skin and jet-black hair, was called by Hae-sung, who chuckled. A portal to Earth opened in front of him.

"It's been about ten years. I tried to minimize the error, but...... that's the limit. Don't forget that I managed to delay this much by sealing all my power."

"That's enough. By then...... Hae-yun should have become an adult."

His younger sister, who was ten years younger than him, whom he had raised almost like a child. Thinking that she must now be a proper lady, Hae-sung smiled mischievously and walked towards the portal.

"Then this is goodbye, Baek-seol."

"......Yes, but we will meet again."

"What?"

"No, nothing."

Hae-sung tilted his head at the barely audible mumble, but the goddess, known to Hae-sung as Baek-seol, shook her head with a faint smile.

"Boring."

As Hae-sung stretched out his hand towards the portal, leaving Baek-seol behind.

"......Earth, huh."

Hae-sung finally returned to Earth after an unfathomable amount of time.

"Since I was dragged away in the early 2020s...... it must be around the mid-2030s now. They say that even mountains and rivers change in ten years, and indeed, a lot has changed."

Tall skyscrapers were scattered here and there, and giant screens on the buildings were filled with advertisements promoting realistic games.

Along with them were the players and broadcasters playing those games.

Hae-sung watched these things that piqued his interest blankly.

"Seems interesting."

At twenty, the age when he was dragged to another world, he was in the prime of his gaming years, so such games seemed very appealing to him.

"Since I have enough money, I might as well live a carefree life playing games."

Although his immense power and god-like status were sealed, the pocket dimension filled with various precious metals remained intact, giving Hae-sung the leisure to examine it.

He had more than enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

Of course, there would be difficulties in exchanging the money, but after living for so long, he had no qualms about using the black market, so it wouldn't be too hard.

Hae-sung spent a long time watching the virtual reality games on the screens attached to the buildings, and it wasn't until the surroundings started to darken that he finally got up.

His sense of time had become blurred after living for so long.

"......Now that I think about it, what if they moved?"

Looking around the darkening surroundings, Hae-sung realized that the only place he remembered was his old home. His face stiffened, but he soon started walking towards the old house in his memory.

It was the moment when Park Hae-sung, who had spent time in the forest of buildings in Gangnam, Seoul, returned home.

* * *

In an apartment complex in Mapo-gu, Seoul.

Inside a 28-pyeong ordinary house that was a new apartment ten years ago.

"Yes, that's it for today's broadcast. Did you enjoy today's broadcast of the world's number one delicacy, 'Mint'?"

The viewers watching the broadcast of the woman with a cute face and short black hair were furious at her casual words.

-World's number one delicacy ㅇㅈㄹ

-Mint is trash, and mint chocolate is food waste.

-Fact) All

-How can none of the words you say be true? World's number one delicacy mint = no, skill broadcast = no

-Ah ㅋㅋ If you don't want to get banned, ㄹㅇ ㅋㅋ come and hit me

-Yeah~ I'd rather get banned than eat mint~

Despite the situation being just before a ban, Mint, who broadcast under the name 'Mint,' smiled and took a big bite out of a mint chocolate ice cream.

Munch, munch-

"Ah~ isn't it delicious~?"

-......Please stop......

-Mint Season 13241256 gives up on marriage

-Ah ㅋㅋ What kind of woman in her early twenties shows eating mint chocolate

-Mint who gave up on marriage

-Mint who gave up on marriage ㅋㅋㅋ

-Hatban! Bring me hatban!

Despite her cute face and casual personality, Mint was not beautiful with a mouth full of mashed mint chocolate ice cream.

When the viewers joked that she would never get married, Mint swallowed the ice cream and smiled brightly, waving at the camera.

"Alright, see you next time!"

-If only she would close her mouth......

-Mint Season 1324231424 revives ㅋㅋ

-If only she would close her mouth, she'd be a pretty streamer......

-But she never will~ ㅋㅋ

-Mintba~

-Mintba~

-Mintba~

Seeing the rapidly increasing 'Mintba' (Mint bye) comments, Mint returned to being Hae-yun.

"Phew, somehow managed to finish another day."

Although she had been broadcasting for years, she always felt drained at the end.

The pattern of entering a capsule to broadcast a virtual reality game and then coming out to chat remained the same, but each day felt new.

"But it's really strange. Why do they all hate mint chocolate? Maybe they all secretly like it but pretend to hate it. Haha, they're all tsundere."

Of course, the viewers' aversion to the mint chocolate she ate at the end of each broadcast didn't change.

Concluding that the viewers were shy and tsundere, Mint was about to eat more of the pint-sized mint chocolate when the doorbell rang.

"......Who is it? No one is supposed to come."

Hearing the doorbell from outside, Hae-yun opened the slightly ajar soundproof booth door and went to the living room to check the front door camera.

"Who is it?"

There was nothing to be delivered or any package to be received, so Hae-yun cautiously asked who it was. The response was shocking.

-It's me, your brother.

"......I don't have a brother."

Brother.

Hae-yun's face, which had been smiling, stiffened as she coldly replied to the answer that she had a brother who didn't exist.

Usually, Hae-yun was the most friendly and lively, but the topic of her brother, who disappeared over ten years ago, always made her cold and sharp.

Even though it was from her distant childhood, the memory of her brother, who always carried her on his back and doted on her, was vivid.

But the man on the other side of the camera was calm.

-You had a brother who disappeared ten years ago.

"That's......!"

The statement that rubbed her painful scar raw made Hae-yun's previously buoyant mood sink. She was about to shout.

-Do you remember the day when you were five and I carried you on my back because you were dizzy from a fever at kindergarten, and you vomited on my back? I still vividly remember how it felt.

"......Oh."

If the man hadn't casually mentioned something only she and her brother knew, she would have definitely shouted.

But the man continued, leaving Hae-yun, who was stunned by the unexpected story, speechless.

-When you were seven, you fell from a high place on the jungle gym at the playground in front of our house and broke your leg. I remember how much I sweated.

"Wait......"

The man casually revealed her mischievous past, and Hae-yun tried to stop him.

-And when you were nine, you said you loved me the most and wanted to marry me...... Are you going to treat me like I don't exist now? Hae-yun, do you still love mint the most?

"......!!!"

The man's words came faster.

Memories of the past.

A brother who was almost like a father due to the ten-year age gap.

Hae-yun, recalling him, looked at the handsome man's face on the front door camera and the family photo with her brother still hanging, and asked in a trembling voice.

"......Is it really you, Hae-sung Oppa?"

Park Hae-sung.

The man on the other side of the camera was the man in the family photo.

He looked almost the same, except that his body seemed to be in better shape. Hae-yun tried to calm her trembling body.

-Yes. I've been saying it all along. I'm your brother.

"......I... I'll be right there. J... just wait! Don't go anywhere!"

Despite Hae-yun's efforts, Hae-sung's calm and firm answer made her rush to the front door, trembling, and opened it abruptly.

"Whoa. Trying to catch someone? You almost broke the door, kid."

"......!"

Hae-sung, who dodged the abruptly opened door and playfully flicked Hae-yun's head, smiled slightly.

Hae-yun, seeing Hae-sung, who looked exactly like her brother in her memory, felt her legs give out.

Thud-

"Are you okay?"

Hae-sung, seeing Hae-yun sitting on the dusty floor, looking up at him blankly, scratched his cheek, unsure of what to do, and asked about her condition.

"Wh... What have you been doing all this time...... you idiot brother!"

"......Oh. What should I do in a situation like this?"

Seeing the tears welling up in Hae-yun's round eyes burst out like a waterfall, Hae-sung became even more perplexed.

But only for a moment.

"......Welcome back, Oppa."

"......Thanks. I'm sorry for being late, Hae-yun. You've grown so much while I was away."

Feeling Hae-yun's trembling hands hugging him tightly, as if she would never let go again, Hae-sung gently patted her and nodded.

It had been ten years for Hae-yun, but hundreds or thousands of years for Hae-sung, yet he didn't reveal this fact.

'Just being back is enough.'

He didn't think it was necessary to burden his family with the hardships of his past. Hae-sung patted Hae-yun's back until she calmed down.

Just like when he helped Hae-yun calm down when she came home injured as a child, Hae-sung embraced her without a word, patting her back and stroking her head.
