Episode 304 [I came from another world. [Wan]]
A dark world unfolded before the child’s eyes.
The light coming from behind quickly disappeared, leaving the child in the dark.
There was no light anywhere.
I told him to go see my dad, but I had no idea where to go or how to get there.
The frightened child sobbed again. Neither the strange power that circulated within my body nor the magic that unfolded before my eyes were of any use here.
I said she would follow me soon, but even after waiting for a while, my mother did not come.
The child, who was swinging his body around, eventually lay down in the air. I was planning on waiting until my mom came.
How long did I wait?
The child opened his closed eyes.
“mom?”
Clearly someone was pushing his back.
But there was no one to be seen anywhere.
The child felt his body moving forward more and more.
It felt very familiar. Although she wasn’t her mother, she felt closer to her than the child thought of her as a mother.
The child surrendered himself to the force that pushed him.
Kwakwakwakwa!
The child moved faster and faster. Space became increasingly distorted and the time axis became entangled.
A line toward the future was visible in front of the child, but the force pushing the child did not follow that line.
Instead, he pushed the child in the opposite direction.
To the past, to the past.
Even further back in time.
‘Oh, it hurts!’
As time began to pass, the child screamed loudly.
Unfortunately, there was no one in the dimensional corridor. No one heard his screams.
My whole body hurt. My body hurt just as much as when I was tied to the chair just moments ago.
The moment your child can’t take it anymore,
wow.
Another force enveloped the child.
It was a different force than the one that pushed the child. A power that feels like a cozy blanket.
The new strength wrapped around the child and reduced the pressure.
It doesn’t hurt anymore.
at that time.
-are you okay?
A woman’s voice came into the child’s head.
It was a soft, comforting voice, but it wasn’t my mother’s. Moreover, it was the child’s first voice.
-You did well. Now you just have to be patient.
The voice reassured the child.
The child looked around to find the owner of the voice.
The space was rapidly being pushed back.
It was a dark world without light, but the child could feel himself moving even in the darkness.
And the child saw Inyoung flying next to him.
It was a translucent person whose back was visible.
It looked like a ghost, but the child saw it differently.
“Angel?”
A smile crept into the child’s head.
-It’s not an angel. No, it might not make much of a difference now.
A smile bloomed even on the translucent face of the woman.
The child also smiled little by little.
The woman, seeing the child’s smile, softly opened her mouth.
She told the child several stories.
A story about people fighting monsters and a robot man who enjoys fishing while wearing a cowboy hat.
The story of a girl and a dog who rebuilt a ruined world. And
interesting stories continued to pour out,
such as the story of a traveler traveling to various worlds and his secretary .
The child, who had been listening to the story with rapt attention, did not know when he had stopped.
-...So everyone lived happily ever after.
The woman ended the story with a fairytale-like ending.
When the story ended, the child quickly looked around.
The world that had stopped was still covered in darkness. There was no bright starlight, nor was the door the child came through.
I might have gotten lost. The child bit his lip to keep from crying.
-It’s your turn, master.
The angel said while looking somewhere else.
The child looked in the direction the angel was looking.
There was a man standing there. He was not translucent like an angel.
He looked very large and strange.
He said, holding out his hand.
[Open.]
Alright.
There was no sound, but the child felt as if he had heard a very loud noise.
A star appeared in an empty space.
The star grew bigger and bigger.
The small dot grew to a month, the size of a fist, and then became a large door.
A ranch was visible behind the bright gate.
-Now, you can go in there.
Grumbling.
It was the sound of a car.
After all, it was right to hear the sound. The child walked toward the approaching sound.
The sound got closer and closer. The child stopped and waved at the approaching car.
I did what I learned from my mother, but in this fog, neither the oncoming car nor the child could see each other.
Good!
bang!
A car came out of the fog and hit a child who was waving.
The child was thrown away and the car came to a sudden halt.
People came out.
“It’s a kid! “I hit a kid!”
“oh my god. Why is the kid here? “Are there any adults?”
Adults’ voices were heard.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t hear my mother’s voice.
Fortunately, it didn’t hurt. Hearing the startled voice, the child closed his eyes.
The place where the child opened his eyes again was on a hospital bed.
It was a bed that looked a little old.
The child’s body and head were bandaged.
The child had a headache and body pain.
“Are you awake?”
Fortunately, there was someone next to me.
A middle-aged woman ran out the door when she saw the child waking up.
“brother! “The kid woke up!”
A short time later, the woman returned to the room with the doctor, nurse, and her brother.
The doctor examined the child’s body and nodded.
“He’s a very healthy child. Even though it was a major accident, recovery was quick.”
The middle-aged man and his sister sighed in relief.
“Now I just need to know the child’s details.”
The nurse asked the child,
“What is your name? “Can you tell me your dad and mom’s names?”
The child was blank for a moment and then shook his head.
“I don’t remember.”
People’s faces hardened at the child’s words:
“Do you even know the phone number of where you live?”
The younger sister asked again, but the child shook his head.
The child didn’t remember anything.
My speech was fine and I could recognize all normal objects, but I couldn’t remember a single memory from the past.
After completing the examination, the doctor reassured the siblings.
“It may be temporary memory loss due to the accident. “It will come back in time.”
In reality, it wasn’t a simple accident, but the doctor couldn’t tell.
The siblings nodded with worried expressions.
“Then we should take this child to the hospital, right?”
My sister sighed at her brother’s words.
The orphanage’s operating expenses are tight, but the number of children has increased by one more.
But my younger sister did not object either.
There was no way she would ignore a child who had lost his memory. If I were that kind of person, I wouldn’t have run the orphanage with my brother.
The older brother, the director, muttered while looking at the child.
“They said a noble person would come to visit in 1996. “Is this child a noble person?”
My sister sighed again. 1996, like other years, seemed to be a difficult road ahead.
I don’t know if the child is a noble person, but it is true that he came from a far away place.
The child had passed from the future to the past in a dimension other than this world.
Mana did not exist in this world. Another 20 years had to pass before the monster appeared and mana appeared.
The younger sister looked at the child.
Even though the child had lost his memory, he was calmly looking at the two people.
“A strange kid, right? How could he suddenly appear in the middle of Daegwallyeong without a guardian? Did it fall from the sky? Or did it come from another world?”
The younger sister glared at the director.
“Stop looking at Hitel! Do you know how much your phone bill was last month? “Stop reading weird fantasy novels!”
The director ignored his younger brother’s scolding and asked the child.
“Do you know any names? “It’s okay to remember place names or celebrity names.”
From insurance processing to orphanage registration. Everyone needed the child’s name.
I couldn’t just randomly name a child who had lost his memory.
After thinking for a while, the child remembered a name.
“...Kyunghoon.”
After hearing the name, the director quickly asked back.
“Did you by any chance remember your name?”
The child shook his head. It was just a name I remembered.
The siblings were very disappointed.
“Well, anyway, I’ll have to use this name. “There might be someone who recognizes this name and comes to visit.”
“It’s temporary, but from now on your name is Kyunghoon. The last name is my last name. Then you become Kang Kyung-hoon.”
The child called out his name.
“Kang Kyung-hoon.”
It was a very familiar name.
“Kyung-hoon. Kang Kyung-hoon.”
Kyung-hoon kept repeating his name.
