Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Free time

Seojun stared at the screen, contemplating his new user name, Abyss Lord. "What's with this user name?" he asked aloud, a hint of confusion in his voice.

The system responded promptly, [Don't you like it, host? It's better than exposing your personal Info. The title reflects your status and role.]

Seojun shrugged, accepting the name for now. 'It's not like it affect anything,' He then glanced around his apartment, noticing the cellphone and TV screen. "What's the use of these if the Global System Server is already up and running?" he wondered aloud. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The system quickly addressed his concern. [The Global System Server is indeed a powerful tool for communication and information. However, not everyone has access to it. Currently, about 80% of the population are awakeners who can connect to the Global System, while the remaining 20% are non-awakened normal humans.]

[Only awakeners have access to the Global System Server,] the system added. "Non-Awakened do not have the capability to connect to or use it.]

[Would you like to explore the Global System Server now, host?] System added.

Seojun shook his head. "Not right now. Later," he replied, standing up. He turned to see Huno awake, his tail wagging furiously. Huno barked excitedly and leaped toward Seojun, licking his face.

"I'm sorry I left you, Huno," Seojun said, stroking the dog's head. "That won't happen again. Am I right, system?"

The system responded, [Yes, host. It will not happen again.]

"Good," Seojun said with a nod. He continued to feed Huno, giving him some of the food he had cooked, and then made his way out of the apartment.

He exited onto the third floor rooftop and walked to the edge, leaning on the railings. As he took in the fresh air and enjoyed the view, the system's voice broke the calm.

[You need to see this news, host.]

The screen in front of Seojun came to life, and the system opened the Global System Server's news section. Seojun watched as the search icon was tapped and a breaking news headline appeared:

Breaking News: Han Seojun The last remaining returnee in korea Revealed as F-Rank Non-Awakened

The headline blared across the screen, accompanied by a detailed news article and images. The report revealed that Han Seojun, a returnee who had been expected to achieve high ranks due to his mysterious disappearance and subsequent return, was actually classified as an F-rank non-awakened individual.

Standing on the rooftop, Seojun muttered to himself, "Why are they making such a big deal about my return?" He shook his head, trying to make sense of the media frenzy surrounding his status.

Despite the unsettling news, he let out a deep breath and smiled, enjoying the fresh air and the panoramic view of the city. The gentle breeze and the warmth of the sun helped clear his mind, offering a moment of calm amidst the chaos.

Over the next several days, Seojun settled into a routine that was a welcome change from his usual intense activities. His days were filled with simple pleasures: eating delicious food, sleeping comfortably, and engaging in activities he hadn't had time for before. He explored his apartment, learned to use the high-tech appliances, and embraced the quiet moments of leisure.

The discovery that his mother was safe and somewhere in the world brought him immense relief. His instincts told him she was well and secure, which eased his worries. With this knowledge, Seojun felt a sense of contentment that allowed him to fully enjoy his newfound free time.

He took pleasure in these moments of relaxation, appreciating the peace and normalcy they brought. For the first time in a long while, he allowed himself to simply live, savoring each day without the weight of his previous responsibilities and conflicts.

I'm sorry Mom, I'll find you soon. I just wanna rest for a while. He muttered

A month had passed, and Seojun had settled into a routine of enjoying his downtime the news about him had finally settled. One sunny afternoon, in a cozy café, a group of teenagers huddled around a table, their faces lit by the glow of their hologram screens. They were engrossed in a lively discussion about the latest happenings in the PvP tournaments.

"Did you guys watch the PvP tournament yesterday?!" one of the boys exclaimed excitedly.

"In Japan? Yeah, you bet!" another replied. "Ms. Yuki was incredible! No one can take her place as the top 2 ranker!"

"Yeah, not only is she strong, but she's also like a goddess. I'm so jealous!" a girl added, her voice tinged with awe.

As they continued to discuss Ms. Yuki's prowess, they noticed their friend intently focused on her hologram screen. Curious, they exchanged glances and moved closer to see what had captured her attention.

"What are you watching?" one of them asked.

"Huh? Oh, it's just some random videos" she replied, her attention still on the screen.

The group leaned in and saw a video of a man with slightly long White hair and a beard, his face blurred. The stream appeared to be set in what looked like outer space, with the title: Endless Battle part 3.

They watched in amazement as the man fought the large Dragon, accompanied by a Cerberus and a nine-headed Hydra. The action was intense, and the visuals were stunning.

"Hey! Hey! Is that even real?!" one of their friends commented, eyes wide with disbelief.

Another friend quickly started searching on the TerraTube. "What's his channel?" she asked eagerly.

The girl with the screen responded, "His channel is called Abyssal Lord Fan. You should definitely check out his videos."

The group buzzed with excitement, intrigued by the spectacle they had just witnessed. They eagerly searched for more content from the Abyssal Lord Fan channel, eager to see what other incredible battles and adventures awaited them.

One evening, Seojun lounged on his sofa, scrolling through his cellphone while Huno slept peacefully on his stomach. The apartment was quiet, and the only sound was Huno's gentle breathing. As Seojun swiped through his feed, a familiar video caught his eye.

Curious, he tapped the video to open it. The title read, "Battle with the Dragon", and the thumbnail featured the very same scenes from his recent adventures. As the video played, showcasing the epic battle against the large Dragon, Cerberus, and the nine-headed Hydra, Seojun's eyes widened in shock.

The footage was unmistakably his, and he quickly sat up in disbelief, causing Huno to tumble off his stomach.
