Chapter 282 – {IF Gaiden: Didn’t Get Kicked Out of the Preface Family}
{IF Abduction: I was not expelled from the preface family.}
In 〈 Academy Hero Biography 〉, I was reincarnated as Seomuncheon, and I was at a critical crossroads.
I had the power to have the abilities and characteristics of the character I played in the virtual reality game.
However, Seomun Ganghyeok, the head of the Seomun family and the father of this life, considered me useless because I had not awakened my magical powers, unlike Seomunhyun, the main character of 〈 Academy Hero Biography 〉 and my younger brother in this life.
Starting with meals, everything served at home was discriminated against.
Still, he didn’t kick me out right away, so he said he would wait until he was 5 years old in case he might awaken his magical powers late, but before I turned 4, I told him the truth about my powers.
It was because of the weak expectation that he might believe.
“You’re talking nonsense. But yes. If what you’re saying is even 1% true, that would be great.”
“It’s true. If I can’t prove it in time, you can cut my throat.”
“Yes. That’s right. You only get one chance, so you can’t test it. Good! I’ll support you so you can gain strength. Prove it once!”
That’s how I didn’t get kicked out of the Seomun family.
He didn’t completely believe it, but he thought the possibility was less than 1%.
In particular, supporting virtual reality games was not a difficult task.
‘Unconditionally Munchkin. It has to be a game that has at least a ‘setting’ that says it has infinite possibilities.’
I couldn’t let one chance go in vain. That’s how I entered synchronization, and I had to live in the Seomun family as a childish child for the possibility until I reached the age of 13, when the synchronization that started at the age of 4 ended.

“Brother~”
There was a voice calling me when I was 12 years old. She was a very cute and cute-looking girl with blue hair who had just turned 10 years old.
This is Seo Moon Min-hye.
She was still at an age where her beauty wasn’t enough to bloom, but her beauty was already showing what kind of beauty she would become when she grew up.
And she was the only person in this family who approached me kindly, even though I was a keut.
“Yes, Minhye.”
I smiled at her as I looked at her too. If there was only one thing in this family that I truly cherished, it would be Seomun Min-hye.
‘Seo Moon-hyeon, he’s still looking at me funny.’
I was the main character in the original work, and my younger brother, Seo Moon-hyeon, treated me as one of the servants, unlike Seo Moon-min-hye. And since he was the successor, he took it for granted that everyone would follow him.
And the kind behavior Seomun Min-hye showed me seemed to be regarded as nothing more than mercy for a poor straggler.
‘It’s already started.’
The rationalization of Seo Mun-hyeon has already begun. He said he was the heir to the Seomun family, and I was just a pitiful loser.
And he was the target of being kicked out of the Seomun family and disappearing sooner or later, and if I was kicked out, he would be delusional that I had run away on my own.
‘And if they feel that I am even the slightest threat to their position, they will try to kill me.’
They would make up excuses like I was involved with the villain and try to kill me. As for Seo Mun-hyeon, I knew best that he was a guy who would remain like that.
‘I just need to hold on a little longer.’
Right now, Seo Moon-hyeon thought of me gaining strength as a nonsense trick to delay being kicked out.
For Seo Mun-hyeon, who looked down on me and treated me as inferior, it was natural for Seo Mun-hyeon to think that I could become stronger than he was.
“Brother, how soon are you left?”
“Yeah, it’s really not long.”
I just had to hold on a little bit now. If I endured a little bit, I would have the strength to not have to fear anything in the world.
– Next 12 days 17 hours 8 days until synchronization.
However, the only person in the mansion who believed my words was Seomun Min-hye. Except for her, no one else believed me at all.
“Brother, be patient. If you gain strength, the bad treatment you receive will change.”
Seomun Minhye comforted me. At only 10 years old, she hadn’t imagined that I would have complete control of the West Gate and do as I pleased.
I just believed that I would be treated well, not treated badly anymore.
Since her young age, she has been a magical awakener and has excellent talent, and has been treated favorably next to Seomunhyeon in the Seomun family, but she is actively stepping out in hopes that I will be treated better in everything, starting with meals.
For example, starting with saying that he would eat the same thing as me, and saying that he would sleep with me were typical.
The little girl was taking care of me as best she could, but now I’m just grateful that I wasn’t kicked out right away.
‘And the fact that she wasn’t killed by Seo Mun-hyeon.’
Pretending to be nice in front of others, she is Seo Moon-hyeon, who is delusional that she will become a hero of justice, but I was well aware of that nature.
Seomun Minhye, too, although not as much as me, she kept a distance from him, perhaps because of Seomunhyun’s attitude towards me.
‘The life of noticing is coming to an end soon.’
And I gently hugged her preface Minhye and said.
“Yes, it will be over soon. Minhye, when I gain strength, I will never forget what you did.”
“Yes! Oppa~ hehe~”
Seomun Min-hye laughed, just being happy that I was no longer being looked down upon.
* * *
And when I turned 13, a few more days passed…
“Done.”
I finally smiled at the strength I felt in my body.
When I looked in the mirror, I saw my current self.
A 13-year-old boy with slightly rough black hair, black eyes that seem empty but full of confidence, and a great appearance that anyone would say is good-looking.
It looked like there was no big difference from before. Actually, my appearance hasn’t changed much, at best the difference is that my skin is a little better.
But the important thing was that I now had overflowing power.
If I had been kicked out of my house, I would have gone through more hardships and went with a plan prepared just in case, but thanks to not being kicked out of the Seomun family, I was able to gain strength like this anyway, even though I always felt anxious because of Seomunhyeon’s existence.
“Ability status window open.”
The abilities of the characters in the virtual reality game were floating. The character I copied was a munchkin character that I developed while using cheat keys and an editor.
With the setting of infinite growth possible, the ability of a character in a virtual reality game to play munchkin rather than the game of an in-depth story that created the maximum possible power and all kinds of skills in the game!
Having obtained this, I could now become infinitely stronger and faster, and with the power I had now, I could win even if I fought against the whole world alone.
‘I have to tell Minhye first.’
And I was thinking of telling Seo Moon Min-hye before anyone else that I had gained strength.
Because she was the only one I really considered her family in this mansion.
‘I won’t erase the foreword. Anyway, since you didn’t kick me out, Seomun Kang-hyeok… As you wish, I will raise the Seomun family into the best family.’
And since I gained strength, I no longer had to notice or hesitate.
From now on, I was going to go out as I pleased, as I pleased.
‘There are things I learned while living in the Seomun family. Those without power are just miserable.’
The truth in this world was the one who had the power. The reason why Seo Mun-hyeon in the original work showed more and more openly in the second half of the year that it was not a problem was because he had power.
The main heroine, Kang Mi-hyeon’s naeronambul, was the same.
‘I don’t intend to go that far, but I mean.’
Of course, even though strength is the truth, I never thought of falling to the level of Seo Moon-hyun and Kang Mi-hyun.
‘Does it feel good?’
And gaining strength, I was now grasping and obtaining all the information around this area beyond the Seomun family mansion with only my senses without seeing it with my eyes.
I was able to figure out where and what the people in the Seomun family were doing, and I was able to find out the location of Seomun Min-hye.
‘Now is the time to train.’
I smiled as I sensed the energy of her vigorously swinging the sword.
‘I’ll go now, Minhye.’
I immediately jumped over the space and moved to the place where Minhye Seo was. And while hiding my presence, I admired Minhye Seomun, who was swinging her sword without difficulty despite her small body.
‘It looks different.’
Before gaining strength, I couldn’t follow or understand the movements of Seomun Minhye’s sword.
However, as I now stand on a far higher level than her, I easily grasped her sword.
“It’s Minhye.”
And I called her in her soft voice.
“Brother?”
Seomun Minhye was startled and turned to me.
