Chapter 311 – {IF Side Story: Seo Mun-Hyeon}
{IF Side Story: Seo Mun-hyeon}
‘Ha, damn it.’
It was absurd that I suddenly reincarnated, but the person I reincarnated was even more absurd.
‘It’s Seo Mun-hyeon!’
Coincidentally, the person I reincarnated was the main character of [Academy Hero Biography], A web novel written in a light novel style.
‘When did I die? Did the house collapse while you were sleeping?’
I had that question, but I put it aside.
What was important now was how to live in the future.
‘We have to change it first.’
From the time I turned 3, I began to become active little by little.
‘First, the main character’s ability is non-attribute magical power.’
A power that will never be defeated no matter what attribute it is attached to.
On the contrary, it is said that it cannot overwhelm, but the swordsmanship of the Seomun family made up for that weakness.
The swordsmanship of the Seomun family had the power to destroy the essence itself, and this power also worked on the final boss, the Eternal Dragon – Terenity, in the final battle.
The only hope that could destroy Terenity’s immortality and kill her.
‘But Terenity can only win if she lets her guard down!’
The gap between Terenity and Seo Mun-hyeon during the final battle of the original work was so large that there was no hope of winning if Terenity did not let her guard down.
I honestly couldn’t think of a way to reverse that difference.
‘I could have become stronger if I had been reincarnated as Seo Mun-cheon.’
In terms of combat power alone, the chances of Seo Mun-cheon, his older brother in this life, were much higher.
Although he is now looked down upon because he is a non-awakened person, I knew of the terrifying abilities that Seo Mun-cheon possessed.
‘If you give them a good virtual reality game and then make them fight… Even if I fight Terenity head on, I might be able to win.’
I was a little worried about giving such great power to Seo Mun-cheon, not me.
But there was no other way to survive.
He could have given up the position of head of the Seomun family to Seo Moon-cheon.
‘Anyway, as a direct descendant of the Seomun family, it would be enough to make a living.’
Otherwise, Seo Mun-cheon might have given me, his younger brother, a spot.
Under that calculation, I actively defended Seo Mun-cheon and laid the foundation for him to become stronger.
Within the Seomun family, it was felt that everyone, including his father, Seomun Kang-hyeok, disapproved of him, but unlike the original work, Seomun-cheon was not kicked out of the family due to my strong insistence that he was considered a potential successor.
‘Unlike the original, he won’t be kicked out, so he won’t hold a grudge and become a villain.’
* * *
My relationship with my older brother, Seo Mun-cheon, was clearly established since childhood.
Seo Mun-cheon knew his situation in the family and that it was thanks to me that he was not kicked out, so he was truly grateful to me.
And when Seo Mun-cheon was treated unfairly, I got angry as if it were my own, so there was no employee within the family who ignored Seo Mun-cheon.
Actually, I was furious.
‘Are you planning to cut off my rescue line?’
Those who could not kill Terenity instead of Seo Moon-cheon treated Seo Moon-cheon poorly, and I was able to become furious as I was drawn to a future where Terenity dies miserably, and even after death, my soul is taken over, and I suffer forever.
And I didn’t even hide this fact from Seo Mun-cheon.
Anyway, I didn’t know if Seomun Cheon would be able to read my mind once he gained strength, but it was better for him to be honest and tell everything than to lie.
“Hmm, I see.”
When Seo Mun-cheon heard that I remembered my past life and knew about the future of this world, he nodded and calmly accepted it.
“I promise. When I become stronger, I will kill Terenity and guarantee you a stable life.”
“That’s enough.”
I was lucky enough to not have my soul ripped out even after I died.
‘Whoa, anyway, this body itself is troublesome.’
Seo Moon-hyeon’s body was truly amazing.
I wasn’t talking about talent.
‘How can I keep loving myself so much that I want to rationalize it?’
At this level, it went beyond the mental level and was entirely the realm of instincts in Seo Moon-hyeon’s body.
If you let your guard down even a little, your body will try to boost itself by rationalizing itself as it pleases.
And if there is anything that bothers me even a little, I try my best to disparage it.
It’s a shame that I’m suppressing this body’s instincts, but I now know why Seo Moon-hyeon in the original is like that.
‘Unlike Seo Moon-hyeon, I don’t want Kang Mi-hyeon and that other bitch to die.’
Kang Mi-hyeon appeared as the true heroine in the original work.
However, her true identity was a vicious villain, the leader of a villain organization called the Thieves.
However, she, who became Seo Moon-hyeon’s heroine, ended up shamelessly eating well and living well while being forcibly beautified and washed through Seo Moon-hyeon’s old shield.
“Hyuna, success.”
And finally, the day came when Seomuncheon fully awakened her own powers.
With her infinite growth potential and overwhelming power, Seo Mun-cheon has now become a power that no one in this world can match, and she will continue to become stronger in the future.
“Congratulations, big brother!”
Seomun Min-hye was also truly happy that Seomun Cheon had finally awakened her powers.
For your information, my relationship with Seo Moon Min-hye is good, but the relationship between Seo Moon Min-hye and Seo Moon-cheon is also very good.
Within the Seomun family, Seomun Min-hye did not like Seomun Kang-hyeok very much, perhaps because she felt that her father, Seomun Kang-hyeok, was looking at him.
However, Seomun Cheon liked her Seomun Minhye very much, and Seomun Minhye also followed Seomun Cheon well.
Seomun Min-hye quite likes her younger brother, but I feel like she likes her older brother, Seomun Cheon-pyeok more.
She seemed to be more focused on Seomun Cheon, who was discriminated against, unlike me, who was treated preferentially within the Seomun family.
“Yes, Minhye.”
As Seomun Cheon gently hugged her Seomun Minhye, she was seen smiling.
If you look at it as a third party, is it an illusion that there are signs that the relationship between the two goes beyond that of siblings?
Seo Moon-cheon is fifteen, I am fourteen, and Seo Moon Min-hye is thirteen.
It may be difficult to feel for sure since they are still young, but somehow I had the illusion that their first love was beginning.
“Hyuna, as promised, I will definitely kill Terenity. And I will help you with anything in the future, just tell me.”
Seo Mun-cheon smiled softly at me as well.
That look was the look her older brother gave her younger brother.
He truly recognized and accepted me as family, as his younger brother.
And I also learned more about Seo Mun-cheon by living with him until this age.
‘A personality that pays back what it receives.’
While Seo Moon-hyeon in her original work was the type to distort and rationalize even her own memories due to her extreme narcissism, Seo Moon-cheon was the type to simply give back what she received.
She was the one who returned grace for grace and resentment for resentment.
And he had infinite goodwill toward me.
‘Now my life is a happy life!’
The successor to the Seomun family would be Seo Mun-cheon, not me, but I didn’t care.
Just being able to live in abundance for the rest of my life in a safe place was enough.
I didn’t want to put myself through such hardship.
* * *
After entering the National Hero Academy on Hero Island, the main setting of the original work, Seo Moon-hyeon’s life was truly sweet.
Seo Moon-cheon deliberately entered the same grade as me, and thanks to that, he became a hot topic as a brother who stuck around.
‘Seomuncheon is a harem.’
Aria Riverin, Ye Eun-chae, Yoo Hyeon-ah, and Lee Se-na, who were Seo Moon-hyeon’s heroines in the original work, all became Seo Moon-cheon’s heroines.
Isena, who was my childhood friend, became closer to Seo Mun-cheon more easily than I did.
‘I guess it must have been difficult unless Seo Moon-hyeon was deceiving with pretense.’
If Preface Hyeon wasn’t deceiving her, it seemed like it would have been difficult for her to end up with them.
However, I had no intention of ending up with Kang Mi-hyeon like in the original work, so I had already asked Seo Mun-cheon to get rid of Kang Mi-hyeon.
Kang Mi-hyeon has now become the brain of the public, and his body has been converted into a chimera and used as a combat weapon for the Seomun family.
“I’m jealous of the harem.”
It would be a lie if I said I wasn’t envious of the world’s most beautiful women gathering around Seo Mun-cheon.
However, if I had been born as Seo Mun-cheon, I had no intention of doing anything presumptuous while still in Seo Mun-hyeon’s state.
If Seo Moon-hyeon’s body did something outrageous and went into a runaway state, it would only be a loss for me.
And as time passed, after Seo Moon-cheon saved the world by defeating Terenity from the front, I, who graduated from the National Hero Academy, was enjoying a leisurely happy life with the numerous possessions that Seo Moon-cheon gave me.
Not only in Seoul, but all the buildings and hotels in major cities around the world were owned by me, and I even received a 5% stake in Yuchun Group (I recommended the name of the group) run by Seo Moon-cheon, so I was in peace.
Although I had a distant relationship with the heroines who were the most beautiful women in the world, except that I treated them as sisters-in-law, there were many women around me.
There were women who approached me with the title of Seo Moon-cheon’s younger sister, but most of all, it was thanks to the fact that I played an active role in rescuing women kidnapped by villains and there were quite a few beautiful women who came to depend on me.
“I just want to live like this.”
That’s how I, Seo Mun-hyeon, fell into a comfortable life under Seo Mun-cheon’s shadow.
