Chapter 287 – {IF Abduction: There Is a Reality That Does Not Change.} 2
{IF Gaiden: There is a reality that does not change.}
The faces of the warriors of the Seomun family were perplexed, confused, and feared.
Not surprisingly, the punishment I inflicted was of a kind they could never have imagined.
“The magic won’t move!”
What I did was simple. It was a kind of seal that prevented the magic within their bodies from moving as they intended.
They were able to handle magic as naturally as breathing, but they were in a state where they could not handle the magic within their bodies at all.
‘But he’s not completely incompetent.’
I didn’t completely incapacitate them.
The magic they had accumulated remained intact in their bodies, and the automatic effects of the magic remained intact.
For example, it meant that magical powers automatically filter out wastes in the body.
It was just that the mana did not move as they intended.
To explain it in a game way, the passive was left alone, but the active was not able to do anything.
“Let it go like that for about eight years. That’s my punishment.”
At my words, the warriors of the Seomun family hurriedly knelt. They were already proud and had no thoughts whatsoever.
With the exception of the passive, they became incapacitated and begged me earnestly, terrified that they might have to live like this for 8 years.
“Bocchan! Please! Please allow me to use my magic again!”
“I can’t do it without magical power! If you release me, please, I will do my best!”
Originally, I pretended not to know that they called me a young boy who did not even call me a young boy.
“Bocchan? Seo Mun-hyeon was just dragged away.”
At my words, the warriors of the Seomun family became silent for a moment and began to look at me.
To those who dismissed me as incompetent, there was only one Master Seo Moon-hyeon. But now, having learned that Seomunhyeon was a rotten rope, and having received my punishment, they were regretting their treatment of me.
To those who were trying to alleviate the punishment they received by somehow alleviating my feelings, I said ahead of time.
“If you talk nonsense here, 8 years will increase to 20 years.”
Together with him, I exuded an overbearing force.
“Ugh!”
“Gagging!”
When the warriors of the Seomun family faced my intimidation, they began to tremble in fear, and Ganghyeok the Seomun clicked their tongue, as if this appearance looked very pitiful.
“Tsk. I can’t use it for 8 years. They look like pathetic people.”
It was a remark that touched the pride of the warriors of the Seomun family. No matter how good he was, he had to have some respect from his subordinates to earn their loyalty, but now they were no different from the elite troops of the Seomun family, but incompetent people for 8 years.
Besides, there was no reason for Seomun Kang-hyeok to take their side and clash with me. In order to buy my favor, it was Seomun Kang-hyeok who could throw away as many as 1,000 warriors of the Seomun family.
“I saw your punishment well. It’s a great power.”
And while expressing admiration that I had sealed the power of numerous warriors at once, he showed an expression that seemed to burst with joy.
‘It’s my expectation that the Seomun family will stand in a higher position with my own strength.’
And the warriors of the Seomun family began to deny the reality.
“It’s nonsense. I-I have my magic sealed? I’m incompetent? This is nonsense!”
“This is a dream. When you wake up…”
Faced with my intimidation, I heard the nonsense of the warriors of the Seomun family who were so terrified that they couldn’t even dare to beg me.
“Don’t worry. I’ve lived as an incompetent person for 13 years, but I don’t feel the pain of dying right away. Feel the pain of not being able to use magic for 8 years and reflect on yourself.”
“No…It’s a dream…A nightmare.”
Even after my words, there were still some guys who denied reality and claimed it was a nightmare. Even so, the fact that he couldn’t beg me to let him go must have clearly imprinted the fear I planted on him.
“No. It’s reality. It’s a reality that won’t change no matter how much you deny it.”
And I awakened the reality to those who denied it.
* * *
Seomuncheon has awakened!
In an instant, this fact was known to the outside world beyond the front door.
It was a rumor that many people already knew that Seomuncheon, the eldest son of the Seomun family, was incompetent. This was because the Seomun family didn’t publicize it widely, but they didn’t try to hide it either.
The servants of the Seomun family would watch their mouths on their own, but they could not prevent the existence of Seomuncheon from being known by the people who visited the Seomun family.
However, Seomuncheon was not imprisoned every time an outsider came, but instead, such treatment worked to the benefit of the Seomun family.
“You didn’t buy a grudge against your incompetent son.”
“As soon as he woke up, he made him his successor.
“Don’t even say it. Just hearing the rumors makes it hard to believe. They say he’s already surpassed the level of active heroes.”
Rumors of Seomuncheon’s awakened powers circulated, but nothing was clearly known. It was because the rumors that were being heard sounded too far-fetched.
It was especially hard to believe that he sealed the power of 1,000 warriors of the preface family who despised him when he was incompetent, making them unable to use magic and telling them to remain incapacitated for 8 years.
But the important thing was that the successor of the Seomun family had awakened!
* * *
A week passed.
“Big…”
Seomunhyeon was still staying in his room in the Seomun family’s mansion with his arms and legs restored.
‘Shit.’
Seo Mun-hyeon was tied up for a week and was only recently released. But that was because he was given a measure that didn’t matter even if he went on a rampage.
That action was too terrible for Seo Mun-hyeon.
‘It doesn’t move.’
The magic power in his body was not moving at all. Thanks to this, he has fallen into a situation no different from an incompetent person.
‘This is nonsense.’
Seo Moon-hyeon could never accept the fact that he had become incompetent.
He was a hero among great heroes and deserved the praise of the world.
The world’s best beauties are desperate to receive the love of such a great hero, but he, too great a hero, does not pay attention to such beauties. The appearance of the world’s best beauties, who are more anxious about their own appearance, was something that had to be done for granted.
However, such an incompetent person could not have done such a natural thing.
‘No. It’s an ordeal.’
An evil monster has infiltrated the mansion of the Great Preamble family, disguised as his heir, and sealed his powers. It was a conspiracy of evil villains who feared the great hero himself.
He was just going through trials as a hero.
“Yes, that’s right.”
It was natural.
He himself would overcome this ordeal and grow into an even greater hero, accomplishing feats that drew admiration from all over the world.
‘Seomuncheon, I will definitely kill you first.’
It was an atrocity that could not be forgiven for making himself, the eldest son of the Seomun family, suffer so much. As he promised to punish the evil monster as a righteous hero, Seo Moon-hyeon grinned.
I was looking forward to the day when I could quickly kill Seo Moon-cheon.
Contrary to such thoughts, however, it was an unchanging reality that he was an incompetent person who could not use magical powers.
“Seomuncheon, I will definitely kill you with my own hands. By killing you, I will prove that justice can never be defeated by evil.”
* * *
And Seomun Min-hye, who was watching Seomun-hyeon’s appearance right next to her in a state of transparency with the power of Seomuncheon, quietly left her room.
“It’s terrible.”
Her invisibility was released, and Seomun Min-hye, who appeared in her own room, couldn’t understand her Seo Mun-hyeon’s reaction.
How can you be delusional while self-justifying like that?
It was hard to believe that even the contents could be so evil. While delusional that he was her eldest son, she only thought of killing her own brother, but did not reflect on her own faults in the slightest.
Delusional as if he were a flawless and perfect hero, he treated all those who offended him as villains or monsters.
‘I can’t even consider him an older brother anymore.’
She is Seomun Min-hye, a young 11-year-old girl, but she at least knew what was right and wrong. From her point of view, Seo Moon-hyeon was the wrong person.
Her lingering feelings as her blood relatives ended here.
‘My older brother is only one, Seo Mun-cheon, the eldest brother.’
In that way, Seomun Min-hye did not leave even a hint of attachment to her Seo Mun-hyeon. Seo Mun-hyeon was just a terrible monster wearing a human mask.
He was a demon who should not have been born into the world.
It’s sad, but that was an unchanging reality.
