Player Who Returned 10,000 Years Later

She would think it was weird considering he easily defeated a bunch of goblins, while she couldn’t do it with level 6.

Of course, she was inaccurately evaluating his level based only on his strength.

— I have my reasons for being here.

— Ah… I see. — Han Sol didn’t ask further after Kang Yu’s ambiguous answer, and simply nodded.

Even though it was rare for high-class players to appear at lower levels, she had no right to question a guy who wanted to hide his reason for being here.

— Um…

— Can you stand up?

— Yes, thanks to you, I think I can walk.

— I’ll be there for you.

— Oh, you don’t have to. I don’t want to cause any more trouble.

— You don’t have to say no if you need help — Kang Yu put his arm around the teetering girl to support her.

Han Sol tilted her head awkwardly and her face turned red.

— Where do you need to go?

— That way, — the girl said, pointing her finger in the direction. Embarrassed, she didn’t notice that the high-level guy didn’t know where the gate was.

— Let’s go. — Kang Yu held onto the girl tightly and they went slowly.

‘It’s a good thing she doesn’t ask any unnecessary questions.’ She certainly couldn’t know anything about him, but to avoid unpleasant situations, he had to try not to cause suspicion.

‘Otherwise, she’ll think I’m crazy.’ He didn’t want to look like a total psycho in front of the first human he met, and in front of such a beautiful person.

He had to blend in with the local population.

Kang Yu thought about how he accidentally met Han Sol, who was now walking along with him.

— Here…

There was a snow-white gate before them.

It was about 30 meters high. If you compared it to the Black Gate from which Kang Yu came, this gate was many times bigger and more powerful.

‘This is definitely not the Earth.’ If she had come here through a gate, it meant that this forest filled with goblins was definitely not the Earth.

‘Is this place… something like Hell?’ A place that comes through a gate may well be like Hell.

‘Where does this gate come from?’ Kang Yu looked at the gate with a rapturous look, opening his eyes wide.

It was nothing like the Gate formed in Hell with the power of the Seven Great Demons. Absolutely.

— Kang Yu.

— Ah, yes. Let’s go. — Han Sol’s words pulled him out of his trance, and they stepped into the gate.

Flying through one world after another, their bodies moved in the tunnel with extraordinary ease.

— Let’s gather the flock to E level and hunt the goblins.

— Got a tank?

— You don’t need a robber?

— Sorry, no.

When they came out of the gate, they saw a group of people shouting at each other. It was as if they were in the bazaar.

Kang Yu looked at the people who had gathered at the gate entrance and felt a slight tingling in his chest again.

People.

What he wanted so much was for people to surround him from all sides.

‘I really did come back.’ Even though the earth was different from what he remembered, the scenery was still the same.

Now he was assuredly aware that he had returned, the remnants of his anxiety were gradually dissolving, and satisfaction and joy came in its place.

It felt like all his burdens had been lifted.

— Ahem, Kang Yu… — Han Sol neatly called out a guy, and he turned to her. — If you have time, why don’t you come over and visit? I want to at least buy you lunch. —

She said it in a guilty voice, first looking at Kang Yu’s torn clothes and then at her bandaged leg.

Of course, it would have been much more appropriate to offer financial compensation, but she didn’t have that opportunity. Furthermore, she did not want to part with her savior by simply saying “thank you”.

Kang Yu was immensely surprised to hear her offer.

The girl he had just rescued invited him to come and visit!

In the last ten thousand years, he could only see girls in his imagination. That’s why, when he received the invitation, he felt a passionate burning desire.

The excitement was so strong that you could compare it with an invitation for drinks at the bar.

(P.P.: In the Korean version, “come to visit to eat ramen together”).

‘This is…’ Kang Yu clenched his hands into fists.

A strong desire spread throughout his body.

‘Warmth,’ his imagination played out.

He imagined the two of them raising three children in a warm, cozy house, bringing a smile to his face.

‘How warm,’ he thought. The heart that had grown cold over ten thousand years was once again filled with warmth.
