Cheng Xiaoya brought melons for her brother who stayed up late to study.

"Brother, mom told you to eat this before learning."

Seong Jin-Woo, who was studying seriously under the desk lamp, raised his head.

"Where's Dad?"

"Dad seems to be working the night shift this week."

Looking at the melons on the plate, Cheng Jin-Woo nodded.

Just as his younger sister was about to turn to leave, Cheng Jin-Woo suddenly grabbed her by the ponytail.

"stop!"

"Ah!

Cheng Xiaoya, who was caught off guard, was caught just like that, her eyes widened and she turned around to look at her brother, only to see him looking at her calmly.

"Why is Melon's heart gone?"

"I, I don't know..."

"You take off the melon seeds at the corner of your mouth before you talk."

"Eh."

Seong Jin-Woo laughed while watching his younger sister who was **** off because of being caught on the spot.

After twisting the melon seeds stuck to his sister's mouth with his hands, Cheng Jin-Woo frowned pretending to be angry.

"If you steal my melon again in the future, I will let you only eat the hard side of the melon."

"Hmm... I know."

Cheng Xiaoya had a mournful face.

After pampering his younger sister's head, Cheng Jin-Woo let her go out.

Now Xiao Ya is still in the sixth grade.

Cheng Jin-Woo has already witnessed his younger sister's growth, so to him, whatever his younger sister does is the cutest.

Click.

Cheng Jin-Woo took a bite of the melon, and looked at the exercise book again.

Then, Yegrid, who was always worried about his lord's performance, spoke again.

"My lord, the twenty-four questions are not solved in this way..."

"But did I get the answer right?"

"...Let me think again, my lord."

'......'

It is good to worry about the master.

' However, thanks to Yegrit. There is nothing to be bored while studying. '

Click.

As the problems are solved one by one, the melons are also decreasing one by one.

Tick, tick.

I don't know how long time has passed.

Suddenly, Cheng Jin-Woo felt a chill.

He raised his head immediately.

'What's going on, where does this feeling come from?'

Cheng Jin-Woo stood up, and then turned his gaze to the direction where he felt the coldness just now.

Then he closed his eyes and focused his attention wholeheartedly.

'...It's not an illusion. '

Thinking of the worst possible possibility, Cheng Jin-Woo's expression sank.

He took out a business card from the pocket of his school uniform.

It's the business card left by the ruler's agent.

After entering the phone number into the phone, Cheng Jin-Woo pressed the dial button.

"Long time no see, Shadow King."

The agent happily greeted Cheng Jin-Woo, but Cheng Jin-Woo's reaction was completely in contrast to his.

Cheng Jin-Woo said a location coldly, and then asked another question.

"Did you do it?"

The agent was taken aback, and he immediately felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly answered.

"I don't know what you mean please let me check."

"..."

After a while of silence, the agent's panicked voice came from the receiver.

"No, it's not us. We just found out about it just now. Wang, you should also know that this is different from our way of moving?"

really.

Fortunately not the worst possibility.

But despite this, the current situation is by no means optimistic.

'Someone...or someone is invading Earth. '

But now it is impossible to know whether the other party is benevolent or malicious.

So at this stage, any possibility cannot be let go.

Cheng Jin-Woo thought about it seriously while holding the phone, and he said again.

"Could you come over here?"

Regarding Cheng Jin-Woo's meeting request, the agent replied immediately as if he was waiting for this sentence.

"I'll come and see you tomorrow."

***

The meeting place was set at the coffee shop where I met Liu Chenhao privately for the first time.

Cheng Jin-Woo arrived at the agreed time, and when he arrived, he saw his agent sitting on the side waiting for him.

Cheng Jin-Woo walked in and sat opposite the agent.

It wasn't until he saw Cheng Jin-Woo sitting opposite him that the agent came back to his senses, and he solemnly greeted him.

The situation was urgent, so Cheng Jin-Woo directly talked about the business.

"Those guys who came...what the hell, do you have any guesses?"

"They also invaded our world not long ago, but after being expelled by us, they seem to have turned their heads here."

"Why are they here?"

"They are giants who feed on the rocks of planets where life forms can live. They are a group of bad guys called "giants" in their world, and their reasons for coming to Earth are also obvious."

Seong Jin-Woo who was leaning on the back of the chair nodded lightly.

"...The visitor is not kind."

"yes."

But now that the enemy's purpose is known, it is now possible to decide on countermeasures.

But the problem is... there is still a problem that has not been solved.

"But... before using the "Cup of Reincarnation", this kind of thing didn't happen, right?"

Although there were portals and monsters in Cheng Jin-Woo's memory, there was no outside race that used astral rocks as food.

The agent agrees.

"Yes, that's right. In fact, the "not long ago" I just said refers to the time period that has disappeared now."

"The enemy who originally targeted your world has now changed his target to the earth?"

"Exactly."

The agent watched Cheng Jin-Woo's eyes while talking.

Cheng Jin-Woo soon knew the reason.

' That's why I am. "

"They followed the traces left by powerful kings. At least the rulers think so."

Just like chasing the light of a lighthouse in the vast sea, the "giant race" found this planet by chasing the powerful power of the shadow king.

Forces that shouldn't exist have had an impact on this world.

What the rulers feared finally happened.

However, the rulers who once owed Cheng Jin-Woo a favor did not intend to stand idly by.

The agent stated this.

"The Sky Army of the Dominators has set off."

But Cheng Xiaoyu didn't happily accept the help, but shook his head lightly.

"No, it's too late."

It will take at least a few years to open the portal connecting the two worlds.

so-

"I come."

It's up to me and my soldiers to stop these guys.

Since he was someone the rulers' army had defeated before, he was enough to deal with it.

Hearing the oppressive voice of the Shadow King, the agent swallowed unconsciously.

No one would want this person in front of him to be his opponent.

The agent began to sympathize with those "giant gods" guys.

but…...

If it wasn't for calling reinforcements, why did he meet with himself?

As if seeing through the agent's mind at this time, Cheng Jin-Woo spoke again.

"I think it's time to reply...that proposal you made earlier."

"Ah, so it is like this."

In order to prevent the power of the Shadow King from affecting this world, the rulers will provide the Shadow King with a proposal for a new space.

He should have made a decision because of this incident.

The agent looked at Cheng Jin-Woo's determined expression, and nodded in understanding.

"I understand what you mean, my lord. Then after this matter is over..."

"I will stay here."

".......what?"

The agent's eyes widened when the answer was completely different from what he had expected.

Cheng Jin-Woo said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I still want to live here."

Family and friends, and lots of people you want to see.
