Solo Leveling (Only I Level Up) - Chapter 457
Home, car, hospital, school, business…
Everyone saw the dazzling light.
Soon, the whole world was enveloped in light.
In this way, the light quietly enveloped the world, and then quietly disappeared.
***
early morning.
As if announcing that a new day had begun, a ray of sunshine shone on his face.
Cheng Jin-Woo closed his eyes, feeling the familiar bed under him.
Although he has not fully awakened yet, Seong Jin-Woo, who has already surpassed human perception, can clearly understand everything around him.
‘Xiao Ya just washed, the aroma of the soup that makes the index finger move, the sound of cutting vegetables, and my room is full of my smell……’
is home.
I’m home.
Cheng Jin-Woo’s heartbeat started to speed up.
“Xiao Ya, go and wake up your brother.”
It was my mother’s voice that came from outside the door.
That’s right.
Although she likes to sleep very much like other girls in the growing period, Cheng Xiaoya, who never sleeps in, is about to wake up her brother.
“Know it!”
Cheng Jin-Woo’s mouth twitched at the childhood time that had been depicted countless times in his dreams.
Bang!
“elder brother?”
But before Cheng Xiaoya fully opened the door, she saw her brother sitting properly.
“Huh? When did you wake up?”
Seong Jin-Woo smiled at his sister whose eyes widened in surprise.
Xiao Ya here will not lose friends because of Warcraft.
Cheng Jin-Woo left the room and walked slowly to the kitchen.
“Son, are you up?”
As I perceive it, my mother is preparing breakfast for them.
After hearing her son’s footsteps, the mother also turned around.
But what Cheng Jin-Woo most wants to see is…
Following the flipping sound, he turned his gaze to the corner of the dining table.
There.
Father was flipping through the newspaper and waiting for breakfast.
After feeling his son’s gaze, Cheng Rihan raised his head.
The moment he and his father looked at each other, Cheng Jin-Woo suddenly felt choked up.
“Father…”
Unconsciously said the word “father”.
Hearing that his son suddenly called himself “Father” instead of “Dad”, Cheng Rihan was a little surprised.
Did the child have a nightmare?
Looking at his son who seemed to be holding back tears, Cheng Rihan walked over.
“Son, what’s the matter?”
Now, my father’s voice is in my ears.
Not long ago, my father turned into a pile of ashes, and even disappeared in my hands. The touch still stays in my hands.
For Seong Jin-Woo, it’s like a dream right now.
But he knows.
This is not a dream, but a reality that I need to protect.
Holding back his tears, Cheng Jin-Woo strengthened his belief once again.
The sadness on his face faded, leaving behind a tenacity.
When I looked back, I found that my parents were looking at me worriedly.
Cheng Jin-Woo said with a smile.
“…Maybe it was a nightmare.”
That’s right.
The nightmare is over.
After the nightmare is over, the young sister, the healthy mother, and the father who is not missing, the family is here.
This is the last chance to get everything back on track.
This opportunity cannot be missed.
We must use our own hands to reclaim a piece of the future.
Cheng Jin-Woo’s eyes shone with determination.
***
It feels like the decision was made yesterday, but in fact it has been a week.
Today’s Cheng Jin-Woo still didn’t find a chance to enter the dimensional gap.
Cheng Jin-Woo stared blankly at the outside of the classroom, but suddenly Bell’s voice came from his ear.
‘My King…’
‘ I know. ‘
To know is to know.
Cheng Xiaoyu knew very well that at the end of the sky, those kings were coveting this land.
but.
The current time is like a vacation for me after a long war.
For a while… As a reward for himself, he just wanted to enjoy this peaceful time for a while longer.
‘……’
While Cheng Jin-Woo was thinking about this, the pleasant bell finally rang.
ding dong – ding dong one
It’s the school bell.
The listless expressions of the students suddenly came alive.
Of course, Cheng Jin-Woo’s expression was also very cheerful.
He is twenty-three years old at heart… No, he is already a twenty-five-year-old boy, but he is still a fourteen-year-old boy on the outside.
“Cheng Jin-Woo!”
“Do you want to go to the Internet cafe together?”
Seong Jin-Woo looked at the faces of the children in his memory and nodded.
“Oye!”
“Hey, Cheng Jin-Woo is on our team today?”
“Ah, what? Didn’t you also belong to your team yesterday?”
“Don’t we still have Zhong Zhi who is the best.”
“Ah, forget it. Then Zhong Zhi and Min Biao belong to our team, so Jin-Woo also belongs to our team.”
“Then rock-paper-scissors.”
“Row!”
At this time, a war-simulating strategy game was popular in schools, and Cheng Jin-Woo opened up a new world for the children with his amazing reflexes and perception abilities.
For boys in this period, whether they are good at playing games or not determines their popularity.
Everyone wants to be on the same team as Seong Jin-Woo.
Rock-paper-scissors, which was best of three games, unknowingly turned into best of five games.
The girls who had no interest in the game expressed their helplessness towards the boys’ battle for Seong Jin-Woo, and then walked out of the classroom.
At the back door of the classroom, there was a child who had just finished packing his schoolbag and looked over here.
It seems that he is very interested in the game, but he is too shy.
Such children can only look enviously at those classmates who can play with their friends.
Cheng Jin-Woo showed a faint smile.
People who didn’t care about it when I was a child are now in sight.
Is it because you are an adult?
Or is it because I am far beyond human perception?
In the small space of the classroom, countless emotional collisions merged into a small world.
at this time.
“Wow one!”
The children who had already decided to be on the same team as Seong Jin-Woo cheered.
Cheng Jin-Woo couldn’t help laughing secretly.
‘It is because of you that girls feel helpless……’
Regardless of the kids who lost, the kids who won in rock-scissors surrounded Seong Jin-Woo.
“Xin-Woo, let’s go!”
Cheng Jin-Woo didn’t answer but walked back.
“I’ll be on his team today.”
“What?”
Where the eyes of the boys meet, there is a child who is arranging his schoolbag.
Seeing everyone’s gaze, the child opened his eyes wide.
“um, I?”
Cheng Jin-Woo laughed.
“Well, it’s you.”
Seeing the complex expression on that child’s face, Cheng Jin-Woo asked again with a smile on his face.
“What? Don’t you like it?”
“No…it’s not.”
Seeing the shy child, Seong Jin-Woo also picked up his schoolbag.
“Then let’s go!”
Although it was a little belated, the child who came back to his senses also showed a smile.
