"First of all, let me introduce myself again. I'm Isea. It's nice to meet you."
Inside the hospital room where only the two of them remained.
She greeted him again with her usual indifferent expression.
"Ah, I'm Hesper..."
"Wait a moment. Could you please use your real name instead of that alias?"T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m
"My real name... you say?"
"It's funny to be so formal in another world, but... I want to properly introduce ourselves since this is the first time I'm greeting someone from my hometown. Well, you can think of it as a formality."
Hesperon nodded and agreed after realizing her intentions, as she was being straightforward.
"As expected, you're the Earthling Riley was talking about. Actually, I had a feeling when I heard your name."
"Hmm, you're Korean too?"
"Ah! I'm Ha Seung-hoon. I lived in Seoul and came to this place a little less than two months ago. Ahaha!"
For your information, this wasn't just a randomly chosen alias.
It was one of the properly established identities obtained through Heterosis, which had become a major player in Seoul's underworld, an identity that even existed in the government's database.
It wasn't that difficult to take care of such minor details if you had power and influence.
"It's already been over eight years since I came here. So many things happened... Ah, thank you again. It was a really tough time after Riley was kidnapped."
"You're welcome, I also received a lot of help. If it wasn't for Riley, I would have been trapped in that place forever without knowing anything!"
And so, after greeting each other again, they started to chat animatedly.
Even Isea, who seemed a bit distant at first, was completely comfortable later on.
After all, she was someone who had been transferred to another world at a young age and endured for over eight years.
Even though she had Riley to keep her company, she couldn't help but miss her home country.
And now that she had met someone from her hometown, Earth, and Korea on top of that, it was only natural for her to feel happy.
And she already had a favorable impression of him because he had helped her.
"So you're twenty years old, Hesperon?"
And the conversation naturally flowed to the topic of age.
Actually, one of her goals was to gather information about Hesperon, so it was something she had intended from the beginning, but the problem was his next question.
"That's right. Come to think of it, how old are you, Isea? Well, you look very young, but if Riley calls you 'sister', you must be at least over twenty... Huh? But you said you came here eight years ago..."
Isea hesitated for a moment as he blinked and tilted his head.
She suddenly became confused about how old she was supposed to be.
She came here when she was eighteen, so she was definitely twenty-six years old now, after eight years.
She was clearly older than him.
But if she went back to Earth, she would be eighteen again, about to turn nineteen.
And if she met him on Earth later, could she still say she was older?
"Tw..."
"Tw?"
"Twenty-six."
But she frowned and thought for a moment, then realized it was pointless and spoke confidently.
She couldn't introduce herself as 'eighteen (ninth year)'!
And age was a measure of 'how long you've lived', so she could think about later, later.
She didn't want things to get complicated because of this, as she would be his teacher.
"Ahaha! This is funny! No wonder you look so young, you're a ninth-year high school student!"
But Hesperon, who deduced her transferred age from her answer, just laughed nonchalantly.
...It was a very casual laugh, as they had become quite comfortable with each other.
"Ahem, Hesperon?"
Isea cleared her throat and subtly glanced at him.
He seemed to respect her age and maintained the honorifics, but she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
"Ah— I'm sorry. I was just surprised. Actually, I thought it made sense when Riley said you were a cute and lovely sister, and she was right!"
"Hesperon...?"
But it seemed like he was even more comfortable with her than she thought.
He was still chuckling, as if making a joke, even after she reminded him twice.
"But honestly, you look more like a middle school student than a high school student..."
"...Just shut up!"
Isea added a bold line to Hesperon's profile in her head.
This guy had no tact.
____________________
In a gloomy corner of the Immortal Fortress,
This was his last chance, which would never come again, and if he just let it go, he would have to live with regret forever.
‘Okay, let’s just say a few words and then run away. At a level that’s awkward for her to immediately respond to. That much should be okay.’
He took a deep breath and licked his lips.
And after preparing to run away immediately, he raised his head again and looked at Olivia.
[Andrew...? Can’t you hear me...? Should I rip those useless ears off and directly transmit my thoughts into your brain...?]
She looked at him with a pitiful expression and whispered softly.
He almost cowered again, but he gritted his teeth and endured, shouting confidently.
“You...!”
[...You?]
“It was disgusting working with you, and let’s never see each other again! Working with Siana was much better, you’re nothing compared to her! Ah, and every time you talk back to me, it’s annoying as hell!”
His voice cracked for a moment because he was too nervous, but he succeeded in saying what he wanted to say.
The level had been lowered because he was scared and tried to draw a line, but his unexpected defiance was enough to fluster Olivia.
And he had even brought up Siana, who wasn’t on good terms with her...
Crackle—!
The temperature instantly dropped below freezing, and the surrounding energy started to seethe.
[Are you... going mad from the dark magic...?]
And just as Olivia was about to say something with an unsettling expression,
“Hahaha! I’m leaving! Try to find me if you can!”
Andrew, emboldened by the atmosphere, laughed heartily and gave his final farewell.
And then,
He disappeared from the Immortal Fortress.
[Ah...?]
Olivia was left alone, unable to vent her anger.
She came to her senses and immediately started searching for Andrew, releasing the ghosts...
But naturally, his traces couldn’t be found anywhere, as he had already crossed dimensions and returned to Earth.

Los Angeles, USA.
“Ha! Hahaha! Ah— I feel so refreshed! It’s a bit disappointing, but this is good enough! Hahaha!”
Andrew, who had appeared in the basement of the house where he was first transferred, couldn’t stop laughing, too excited about returning to Earth.
He couldn’t help but laugh, imagining Olivia’s fuming face, who had always looked down on him with an intimidating aura.
And the thought of her searching for him for a long time and then giving up was also satisfying.
She knew he was an otherworlder, so she would eventually accept reality, but she wouldn’t be able to easily stop searching, just in case.
“Haha... Ha... Huh?”
But his laughter, which seemed to continue endlessly, didn’t last long.
Because there was something bothering him.
“Hmm... What’s this? Is this how restrictions work?”
The restriction that the Immortal King had implanted was still active in his mind.
And for some reason, it felt even stronger than when he was in Auterica.
‘Come on, no way.’
He smiled awkwardly and quietly wiped the cold sweat that was starting to trickle down.
It seemed like this was how restrictions worked.
It was a bit unsettling, but it didn’t really matter because the one who gave the orders was gone...
[Oh— You’ve come to Earth, Andrew Weber?]
At that moment,
The voice he thought he would never hear again echoed through his mind.
“Ah?”
His heart sank, and he froze in place with his awkward smile.
Fear slowly crept onto his face.
“Uh, uh? Wait... wait, wait, wait...! This isn’t right! This, uh, this is different...!”
[Andrew Weber.]
“Ah—.”
His words were cut off by a single sentence, containing his ‘master’s’ absolute will.
It was an undeniable manifestation of the restriction.
[Hehehe— I needed some help, and you’ve come at the perfect time. Welcome to Earth.]
And so, Andrew Weber finally escaped from hell, but...
The peace he had longed for wasn’t waiting for him at his destination.
