Chapter 384 – 11 PM, Night Walk
A divination that affirms Hermit.
It was a playful conversation, but it was advice from Gabriela, who has an S-class divination talent. It was something that should never have been said lightly.
‘What does it mean?’
Even Gabriela couldn’t explain the exact meaning. It is less accurate because it is a point that she sees at her own discretion her, rather than her party her directly drawing a card.
[Let’s try to sort it out.]
Said Lucy.
[In divination, the hermit means worry, receive advice, collapse. The correct position of the tarot divination is exploration and thoughtfulness. The reverse position means shadyness, closure, and greed.]
“What Gabriela saw was tarot divination. It was on point.”
[Then speaking of search and consideration, Gabriela said that we need to think about the meaning of the word hermit itself. A hermit is literally a person who lives a hermit, and hermit means hiding from the world.]
“And I called it a fortune telling that affirms it.”
[If so, it can be interpreted as ‘hiding from the world, sufficiently exploring, and acting thoughtfully’.]
“The target must be Eun-yul, who is involved with me.”
[There is no possibility that the person who has to hide is the master.]
“Okay. If you try to collect points, you will inevitably attract attention. And if the hermit is referring to me, it contradicts the previous divination.”
This is not the first time Gabriela has looked at his divination her. As an excuse to get in touch with her, she would often look at his divination her for him.
One day, in a fortune teller, Gabriela said:
‘Joo-hwan will become a master of culture and art regardless of field. He will amass great wealth by personal effort, and he will become a great man for whom such wealth is not important. I’m living a relatively normal life right now… Joo-hwan will feel it too. Even if Joo-Hwan hides his abilities moderately, he is gradually rising to the surface.’
It was as Gabriella said. So far, I haven’t stepped out much because I wanted to live a normal college life, but as the need for points grew, I started working on broadcasting and Witube.
Anyway, it was regulated. If he put his mind to it, he could have accepted an offer from an entertainment agency that filled his mailbox right away, or he could have made his debut as an actor through Bae Seong-geun of React Entertainment, who still coveted him.
In fact, he was increasingly becoming a celebrity just from the novels he was already writing. It was still limited to a narrow web novel edition, though.
Gabriela also said:
‘Zoo-hwan has the Wheel of Fortune, which means luck, transition, and improvement. This power is so powerful that even the fate of the people involved with Juhwan meets a turning point. And there is one more destiny that is as strong as this one. Right away…….’
The last card number 21 in the Rider Weight deck.
The World.
Completion, promised success, stranger.
‘Wanderlust is really great. What promise are you going to travel around the world to keep? Also, a person with such a fate is holding his breath saying he will only live a college life.’
Having said that, Gabriella added, “The power of The World is growing.” It means that change will begin in the near future.
Seo Joo-hwan calmly affirmed in a subdued voice.
“So, the hermit is not me, but Eunyul. And in the quest, Eunyul said what she wanted was to return to the stage.”
[But Gabriela told me to hide from the world and be careful.]
Seo Joo-hwan pondered for a while before saying.
“I might have to give up this quest. Or is it a long run?”
The original plan was to find a way to return to the entertainment industry with the help of Lee Seok-chan or Bae Seong-geun while improving Eun-yul’s disease.
However, assuming from Gabriela’s fortune telling, Eun-yul’s condition would get worse if she hastily tried to return to the entertainment industry. I didn’t know if even the courage that had bloomed in a small way would be broken.
‘My thoughts were too short.’
I ended up thinking about focusing too much on the desire quest. If you think about it a little, you could have guessed how painful her hasty comeback her would be to her her.
‘If Seok-chan and Seong-geun use Hyung’s back, it will be possible to come back, but in the end there will be voices of criticism. It’s Eunyul who has to handle that.’
Regardless of whether or not a return to the entertainment industry is possible, voices of criticism will surely come out. Even if Eun-yul is practically innocent, a scandal once labeled will follow her for the rest of her life. It was clear that he would not be able to withstand such criticism if he had improved a little.
[I’m glad Gabriela contacted me.]
“Yes. I almost confused the purpose.”
Desire quests are created in response to the desires of users and people around them. What he wanted was to improve Eun-yul’s condition rather than the reward itself. The reward of 1 million LPs was not a small figure, but he decided not to be greedy.
*
From that day on, Seo Joo-hwan started to communicate with Eun-yul personally. However, Seo Joo-hee, Han Soo-ah, and Jang Deok-hun were not together. Personally, she wanted to introduce Eun-yul to all of her other friends her, but she was still shy about interacting with people other than Seo Ju-hwan. At least, she only communicated with him through KakaoTalk and text messages.
– Eunyul: Writer, I had a good time today!
-Me: Thank you. But didn’t you comment earlier?
– Eunyul: I want to say it myself haha
Strictly speaking, isn’t KakaoTalk talking directly?
Seo Joo-hwan scratched the corners of his eyes and thought.
‘It’s not good.’
Even after ten days had passed, there was little improvement.
What do you do when you talk a lot? KakaoTalk is everything.
As someone who has suffered from panic disorder himself, he judged that nothing would get better at this rate, no matter how much time passed.
‘Since we only communicate through KakaoTalk, I can’t use my skills and special abilities properly.’
He had enough means to restore Eun-yul more quickly.
First of all, the ‘pheromone’ skill.
Pheromones not only regulate the physiology and excitement of the opposite sex, but also prevent depression by inducing ingredients such as serotonin, commonly called the happy hormone, in a positive direction.
It was for this reason that women instinctively felt a crush on Seo Joo-hwan. Just being together reduced depression and stress, and even the metabolism of the human body changed positively, so I had no choice but to instinctively want to be with him.
The second is the ‘sacred touch’.
The holy touch was the same skill as Seo Ju-hwan’s food line. Using this, you can increase the woman’s arousal level depending on the contact area and time. Also, in an emergency, minor wounds could be healed at once, and body fatigue could be relieved through massage.
Among them, what Eunyul needed was a’hand of stability’that could stabilize her mind and body her. With this, panic attacks were not something to be afraid of.
The ‘sacred seed bag’, which has a similar name to the hand, cannot be left out.
Sacred Seed Sacs with an A+ skill level now permanently increase the HP of the target. The one-time increase was never high, and there was a limit according to the physical differences of each individual, but it would be a special effect for Eun-yul, who was weakened as soon as he was weakened.
‘In addition, since it also increases the opponent’s stamina, it will be of great help in overcoming mental illness.’
Vigor (精力) often refers to a man’s sexual ability, but at the same time it also refers to the active power of the mind and body. Perhaps this single effect, rather than pheromones or holy touches, is the best way to restore Eunyul.
However, no matter how good the means are, it is meaningless if you do not make direct contact. Eun-yul, who said she would be courageous, wasn’t as active as she thought, and it seemed that she was already feeling the satisfaction of communicating with him through KakaoTalk.
“I think I was more active before the regression.”
There were some differences between Eun-yul’s current state and the state of Eun-yul before the regression. Around this time, he remembered, she had greeted him first. Of course, not through text, but through upbringing. Also, the current girl came out of the house only ten days ago, whereas the girl before returning came out about a month ago and she greeted him with a nod of her head.
‘If there is a difference from before the regression…….’
The existence of oneself who lived next door. And a work called ‘Retired Idol’s Healing Broadcast’, which was not serialized before the return.
Seo Joo-hwan muttered as if he was dumbfounded.
“Did I rather have a bad influence?”
According to the explanation of the quest and Eun-yul’s words, while she was confined to her house, she came across the ‘retired idol’s healing broadcast’ and gained the courage to leave the house. In fact, she was such a huge fan of Eun Ah Healing that she left a long commentary on each flower. So Joo-hwan Seo only thought that her own work had a positive effect on her.
But on the contrary, what if you feel vicarious satisfaction through the work and your activeness in reality has decreased? Rather, what if another positive opportunity was eliminated?
“Does that make sense? No matter how much there is a word called the butterfly effect, I think it’s too much of a leap…….”
Seo Joo-hwan shook his head as if he couldn’t understand.
However, Seo Ju-hwan’s thoughts his were surprisingly close to the correct answer. He didn’t know, but what gave her the courage to come out before her return her was witnessing him having a panic attack at the time. I saw him calming his panic attack in the hallway after sneaking out to get a package in the middle of the night, as usual.
At that time, Eun-yul accidentally witnessed him suffering from the same symptoms as herself, felt a sense of kinship with him, and received somewhat selfish comfort from the fact that he was not the only one suffering from her. Also, that comfort turned into an interest in Seo Joo-hwan, and it became an opportunity to have a little courage.
However, Seo Joo-hwan in this life did not suffer from panic disorder. He had mental anxiety and trauma from repeated misfortunes for a long time, but at this point he had already overcome it. Crucially, it was not Seo Ju-hwan who lived next door to Eun-yul, but Seo Joo-hee, his younger sister.
Therefore, the opportunity for Eunyul to gather courage more quickly disappeared, and it was replaced by a work called ‘Eun Ah Healing’.
As such, some small changes delayed Eun-yul’s coming out.
However, this is a story that Seo Joo-hwan cannot know. Eun-yul back then was nothing but comfort and courage.
[It’s a bad effect, the elixir is too strong, Master.]
Said Lucy.
Seo Joo-hwan narrowed his eyes and asked again.
“Is not it? The system said that my novel had a positive effect on Eun-yul.”
[Yes. The system doesn’t lie. Although there may be some differences from before the master’s return, it is true that she was positively influenced by the master.]
“Well. Then you can be at ease, right? What if it got worse because of me?”
[You don’t have to worry. Even if that happens, the owner will heal you faster than before returning, right? You don’t have to feel any guilt.]
“Yeah, that’s how it should be.”
Seo Joo-hwan answered and picked up his smartphone. Until now, they had waited quietly, but now it was time for active action.
*
Eunyul had fun these days. Although he still had seizures and depression dominated his body her, it was because he had one more pleasure in life besides reading novels.
‘I can’t believe I can chat with the writer.’
Is this what holiness is like? Her chance meeting her gave her a boost in her life.
‘My headache has greatly decreased. I’m eating a little too much rice these days. Oh, did the writer eat?’
Suddenly, out of curiosity, I thought of sending a KakaoTalk message.
Did you have dinner tonight? What did you eat?
But she only thought about it and did not let go. Didn’t you already send KakaoTalk several times today? It should not interfere with the author in any way. Then you can’t even bother yourself.
“Ugh. Be patient don’t disturb Because you shouldn’t know that favor is a right.”
Kakao Talk to the writer is when the symptoms get worse. Send KakaoTalk when you feel like you’re going to have a seizure, or when you feel depressed and helpless taking over your body. Then, like a lie, your condition will improve.
If not, let’s not get in the way.
It was when I was so committed.
Geeing~! Geeing~!
“Hick! Now, author?”
Eun-yul widened her eyes when she saw her name her on her screen her. It was a phone call, not a KakaoTalk or text message. To the writer Seo Joo-hwan!
“Uh, what… Sun. Bar, take it, throw it away…….”
I answered the phone reflexively. When she thought she was talking to someone else, her normal voice began to tremble.
– Hello? Yul?
Eun-yul was restless and brought the phone to her ear. She had already received it and she couldn’t keep quiet. Isn’t he the author, not someone else? He had to say hello at least.
“Hey honey… Please?”
– Oh, Yulia.
“Yes Yes. Author, Neim.”
-Sorry for the sudden phone call.
“Oh, no, it’s okay…….”
No one was looking at Eun-yul, but he shook his head vigorously.
To her, Seo Joo-hwan is just a person she is infinitely grateful for. It was a benefactor who made it possible for her to endure a day drenched in lethargy. Sorry didn’t suit him.
Seo Joo-hwan said with a small smile.
– Thanks for saying it’s okay.
“Oh no! My, I’m thankful, whoa… !”
– Yes?
“I, today, I read a novel… Comfort, courage….”
Eun-yul said that and cried. What kind of bullshit is this? My voice trembles and words break out. She was so pitiful that she was not even Park Jeong-ah and she couldn’t even carry on a proper conversation.
However, the man on the other side of her phone never felt frustrated or urged her. Rather, she speaks in a warm voice as if she understood everything.
– Thank you for saying it like that.
“Ah…”
– For me too, the comments you always leave comfort me. As you know, you can’t satisfy all readers, and bad comments run everywhere. At times like this, comments from readers like Yul give me strength.
At Seo Ju-hwan’s words, Eun-yul frowned. It was because one day I remembered the bad comments about Eunah Healing. It wasn’t a criticism, it was an accusation without any valid reason.
Eun-yul recalled the bad comments that had been pouring down on her one day, so she raised her voice with a feeling of sadness without realizing it.
“That, that ah, fl, don’t care!”
– You don’t have to worry about those bad comments?
“Yes!”
– Quit-quick. Thanks Eun-yul, this is the first time I hear you speak so loudly.
“Ah, uh.”
– I just said it because I like to hear it. Yul, your voice is good. The tone when singing…….
“… Nonsense.”
Eunyul reflexively cut off his words at the word ‘song’. Then, startedled, he was surprised at what he had done. What if I was offended No, I guess I didn’t hear you because I muttered a little? I hope you didn’t hear me.
– I’m not lying. I really thought so.
“Ah…”
Eunyul lowered his head. I don’t know how the hell this person could understand that little voice. Then he said in a strangely confident voice that it was not a lie, so he couldn’t deny it again.
– Well, I didn’t call to say that. I have something else to say.
“Yes Yes.”
– Hmmm. Yul.
After catching his breath, Seo Ju-hwan spoke.
-Don’t talk to me in the future. Text too. Instead…….
“Ah…?”
A shrill moan escaped Eunyul’s mouth his.
