Chapter 240 – {Abduction: The Story of the Preface Family}
{Abduction: The Story of the Foreword Family}
“The potatoes are thick.”
“Smoked well…”
Inside the miniature garden where the warriors of the Seomun family are trapped.
A village had been built here, and the warriors of the Seomun family were adjusting to this life.
It was completely different from the luxurious life of the days on Earth, but it was an inevitable choice for survival.
“I want to eat rice…”
“We should save rice.”
At least, rice grows well in a hot and humid environment, but it was still possible to farm here.
There were also books on how to grow rice, so those who studied after study were at a clumsy level, and even though it was not at a modern level, they were able to grow it simply.
All of this is thanks to modern rice being improved to grow well anywhere through magical processing.
However, no matter how hard they tried to farm, the quantity in the forest was bound to be limited.
It wasn’t easy to somehow create an empty lot while cutting down trees in the forest, and it wasn’t easy to manage it either.
However, it was not easy to grow potatoes, etc., So the warriors of the Seomun family still relied more on hunting and gathering.
“Battle rations…”
“The stock of combat rations is insufficient. It will take time to replenish again.”
“Ugh…Even though I’m sparing…”
Even if they ate sparingly, it was only natural that 1,000 warriors from the Seomun family and their families would run out of food for battle.
And the most difficult thing to distinguish between edible and inedible foods was mushrooms.
In the case of poisonous mushrooms, it is not easy to distinguish them to the extent that even experts sometimes make mistakes, so many people die from eating them incorrectly.
[Do not harm Seomun Kang-hyeok, let him live and continue to see. He gave him the power to recover, albeit slowly, and a life force that would not die easily. You guys will never be able to kill him.]
I can’t even remember when it was.
Due to the power of Seomuncheon, the difference between the time outside and the time inside was 10 times, and one year outside turned into 10 years here.
And the warriors of the Seomun family, who remember the words Seomuncheon gave them a few years ago… Seomun Kanghyeok was captured and bound.
“These guys…”
Kang Hyuk, who speaks with difficulty today, was weak from hunger, but did not die.
Noticing that Seomun Kanghyeok did not have to eat, the warriors of the (former) Seomun family came to a conclusion.
“Let’s not give him anything.”
“Yeah. Let’s not even give them water. When it rains, they’ll drink it on their own.”
The warriors of the Seomun family devoted themselves to farming, hunting, and gathering, enjoying combat rations and snacks that occasionally fell by themselves.
“Raspberries.”
“This is essential.”
Raspberries have become a staple food in this world.
Daily life such as catching fish in the lake, gathering raspberries and other fruits in the forest, and hunting animals for meat.
In this, Seomun Kang-hyeok always had no part.
“Ugh.”
Seomun Ganghyeok’s appearance, exhausted from starvation, was beyond words.
His struggling words must have been the last energy, his body slender as he let out a quiet voice.
At one time, the dignity of the head of the Seomun family disappeared.
As an excellent warrior befitting the head of the preface family, his trained body had become thin from starvation, and his muscles had already lost a trace.
“Ugh…”
The preface family he believed in collapsed.
It has been a long time since the warriors of the Seomun family, who should have the pride of the Seomun family, abandoned even their pride by insulting the Seomun family because they were blinded by a candy.
In addition, whenever I saw them making him, who was the head of the family, suffer from starvation like this, I realized that the preface family had collapsed from the inside.
The Seomun family was not destroyed by the power of Seomuncheon and Yuchun Group.
It was just that all the warriors inside had no attachment or pride to the Seomun family, unlike him.
In fact, thinking about what they were going through, the attachment and pride they had had would have been gone, but there was no consideration for Seomun Kang-hyeok to think about it in the first place.
If there had been even a little bit of that kind of consideration, he would never have been in this situation in the first place.
“Dad, I got you!”
And the young children who live here have also completed their adaptation.
It was a common sight to see children holding harpoons and learning how to fish in the river, catching fish and having fun.
“Yeah, good job. Really great.”
Foreword Hyu-cheol praised his son with a smile as he made his boasts while smiling brightly.
Seomun Hyu-cheol, a military officer of the Seomun family, was originally one of the military personnel from the collateral branch of the Seomun family.
First of all, since the surname is Seomun, even if it is not a direct descendant, it has received quite preferential treatment among the warriors of the Seomun family.
However, the favored work was no longer something that should be brought out to Seomun Hyu-cheol.
‘I have to be careful.’
Seomun Hyu-cheol was also seriously considering changing his last name from Seomun to Seo or Moon.
The name of the Seomun family is the place of origin for those gathered here, but it was also the culprit that trapped them in this place.
The name of the Preamble family had become a symbol of hatred, and continuing to wear this surname could be viewed as a bad thing later, even if it was okay now.
‘Whoa, when is it already? I regret the choice I made on that day, as if 20 years have passed.’
At that time, Seomun Hyu-cheol turned a blind eye to Seo Mun-cheon being kicked out.
Even though he was a direct descendant, he also looked down on Seomuncheon, who was incompetent, and thought it didn’t matter if he was kicked out and died.
No, not just him, everyone in the Seomun family thought so.
Born as a direct descendant of the Seomun family, they enjoyed a sense of superiority that they were better than their direct descendant while looking down on him who was incompetent.
However, for the warriors of the Seomun family, there was a more comfortable way than to deeply reflect on what happened at that time, regret it, and blame themselves.
‘Anyway, it is. It’s all because of Kanghyuk’s preface.’
They admit that they also made mistakes.
In particular, Seomun Hyu-cheol, who became a parent of a child, was more inclined to admit that fact.
But even so, no matter how much you think about it, the biggest responsibility for what they suffered like this was with Seomun Kang-hyeok.
‘We have faults too, but not as much as Kanghyeok in the preface. It is because of Kanghyeok the Preface that we are in this situation.’
They were just bystanders.
Of course, it is true that when he kicked out Seomuncheon, he looked down on him and laughed at him, and it was also true that he was seized with a sense of superiority while ignoring that he didn’t care if he died.
In fact, it is true that the crime of Ganghyeok Preface was greater than that of them, so even though they did wrong, they couldn’t abandon the thought that it was because of Ganghyeok Preface.
It was only natural for the warriors of the Preamble family not to care whether others died or not if there was no benefit to them.

“You guys are doing well.”
I occasionally looked into the miniature garden where the members of the West Gate family were imprisoned, so I watched how they all lived.
Since this spring, I have made the time go by 10 times faster, so it seems to be 10 times faster, but I had no problem checking about 10 times speed.
In any case, the warriors of the Preamble family were living in the forest artificially created based on dungeons, and now it seemed that the system was being managed somehow.
Foreword Kang Hyuk continues to suffer and is the target of everyone’s resentment, but it was rather a natural punishment.
‘This is enough.’
The people of the Seomun family will not feel sorry for me, even if they regret their choices at that time.
They feel superior to the fact that I am incapacitated, their direct descendant, and have no interest in the life and death of the 5-year-old.
Even if they go back to the past, they would kill me if they killed me in advance, but they wouldn’t choose the option of helping me.
But at least it never posed a direct threat to me.
So it was over like this.
‘Let’s live there for the rest of our lives.’
Having lost all their magical powers, sooner or later they will begin to feel the death of their incompetents as they begin to age.
There are simple medicines sold at pharmacies, but there is no potion or doctor’s help, so if you get a serious illness, you will die without being able to treat it properly.
“Let’s just go there and sell it.”
I now leave it to my subordinates to occasionally throw support at the miniature garden, and let the miniature garden take care of the rest.
Among the families of the warriors of the Seomun family, those who wanted to be with them were put inside, and appropriate support was steadily provided so that they could live on their own, so the rest were only their descendants.
‘Because now I’m in the second year too.’
Now the time has come for him to become a second year student at the National Hero Academy.
And at the same time, the entrance ceremony for my wife and her sister Minhye Seomun was also approaching.
‘Live well in the future. Foreword Kang Hyuk.’
As an object of hunger and resentment, he will live without dying.
And as soon as aging comes, he will live a painful life without dying for a long time with an old, sick and weak body.
‘But you will always come to an end.’
Unlike Seo Mun-hyeon, he will have an end.
That would be his only hope.
