Blinding light covered Baek Hyeon's vision as he felt himself floating through the void.
*Splash*
Without any warning a feeling of slamming against a body of water was felt by him.
In the next moment his vision finally cleared up, a familiar room appeared before his eyes.
Raising his hand, Baek Hyeon touched his face.
'I want you to live.'
His brows scrunted together before relaxing, with unhurried movement, he got out of the capsule he was sitting inside.
What was worth nothing was that instead of machinery the capsule was surrounded by mysteriously drawn magic circles giving off the aura of the void.
With familiar movement, Baek Hyeon opened up the cupboard and took out a pair of fresh clothes, changed into them and then left his room.
He walked calmly through the silent hallway, nit long after he stood before a grand looking door.
His hands stopped just before he was about to open the door, instead he placed his hand on his lips as if noticing something he stopped for a moment, he curled up his lips forming a genuine smile, his apathetic expression changed quickly forming a genuine one.
Then Baek Hyeon opened the door, a long table filled with various dishes appeared before him, at the end of the table sat a middle-aged man holding a wine glass in his hand.
"You've returned son."
The middle-aged man said in a soothing voice as he gestured for Baek Hyeon to take a seat.
"Father."
Baek Hyeon replied in a warm voice.
After he took his seat both of them started eating, not saying anything, just enjoying the food.
But throughout the process neither of them stopped smiling.
"Was the world this time enjoyable?"
"It was"
Baek Hyeon gave a short answer before putting a piece of fruit in his mouth.
"That's good."
Father Baek's smile became brighter before he put down the empty glass in his hand.
"Ah and son...."
Baek Hyeon turned his gaze towards his father.
"It looks like your mother died."
Baek Hyeon tilted his head.
"Did you check her room?"
Instead of replying, father Baek placed a dark purple crystal on the table.
Baek Hyeon gave the crystal a look before averting his gaze and picking up a piece of beef.
"I see."
He continued eating.
"She left a note saying that she wanted you to take it son."
Baek Hyeon nodded before picking up the crystal, a crack appeared in space beside him as he placed the crystal inside.
[Space Manipulation(SS)]
The crack then closed up like it wasn't there in the first place.
"It seems like it was related to her previous world."
Father Baek's words caught his attention.
"She started a new family there and became more emotionally involved then she should have, unexpectedly even a veteran like her could have ended up like that...."
"When should we hold her funeral?", father Baek asked.
"I'm a little busy right now, how about after I return from next world?", Baek Hyeon replied.
"Then we'll go with that."
Throughout the entire conversation, there wasn't a single change in father Baek's expression, that warm smile of his was ever present.
--------------------
After finishing his food Baek Hyeon left the house wearing his coat.
Baek Hyeon turned his head and saw his father slowly waving at him from behind the window with the warm smile pasted on his face, he returned the gesture before stepping out.
Baek Hyeon shortly arrived before the bus stand, seeing the empty seats he sat down, sensing that nobody was prying at him, he created a crack in space.
[Space Manipulation(SS)]
The purple crystal appeared in his hand, but unlike before the dull purple was now shinning brightly with different colours.
Baek Hyeon's asked the system.
'Show me it's information.'
[Please wait a moment...]
System.
An almighty power which has existed since the beginning of time.
Once a being reaches a certain realm they are able to sense it's existence and utilise its power.
It was the highest level of power known to most people.
[?⬛⬛⬛??!?]
But even 'it' could not define the crystal in his hand.
Words appeared in the form of a status window which only he could see.
[Indescribable fragment, unable to be examined.]
"You were one of us after all mother."
Baek Hyeon threw the shinning crystal back inside the crack using his power.
Then he joined both of his hand, the air above them converged forming a dull looking purple crystal, looking exactly similar to how the original one.
[Creation(S)]
Then with a wave, Baek Hyeon also placed the newly created crystal inside the space crack.
*Horn*
The bus finally arrived.
