Chapter Text
1
It was already night, and the lights of various buildings in Seoul were gradually lit up, the sky was gloomy, and the bean-sized raindrops smashed from the sky to the ground, cage the city in the wet mist. In the summer of Seoul, the rainstorm is in a hurry and stuffy, and there are neon broken images on the asphalt road, like a knock-over palette, which is washed over and over by the rain, and it appears again and again.
On the bus platform, a teenager was sitting on a chair, staring at the rain curtain rolling down under the eaves of the convenience store in a daze. "This is the first rain this year?" Kim Dokja thought silently, but didn't want to get an accurate answer.
The rainy season is always difficult for him. if it is a sunny day,After school, he can still be in a daze in the park, or watch the riverside by the Han River. Although he is alone, he can still feel the beauty of the world. On rainy days, he could only go back to an empty home, finish his homework and use his mobile phone to read novels until he fell asleep in a daze.
However, today he was wrong. In normal times, he reads the weather forecast every day, but yesterday he was addicted to the new chapter of the "Three Ways to Survive in a Ruined World" and completely forgot about it. It suddenly rained when he went out for a walk. Now, he can only be trapped in this small station.
Will this life last forever? I've had enough of this suffocating life. Jin Azizi looked at the dark sky through the ceiling of the station, and sighed, the rain still showed no signs of getting smaller. He simply took out his mobile phone and immersed in the world of novels again.
[Yoo Joonghyuk's bruised body fell into a pool of blood, and there was only one breath left. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he didn't have the strength to make a sound. Asmode stood beside him and looked at him with greedy eyes: "Missing human beings, and trying to challenge the Demon King, is really self-sufficient, if it is not for your face , You are already dead. But well, now, it's not too late—" His demonic energy enveloped Yoo Joonghyuk's body, turned into a sword, and pierced straight into his heart. Yoo Joonghyuk is dead, and he will enter the next return. ]
Damn, this bastard overturned fish is so reckless. While thinking about it, Kim Dokja was typing in the comment column
【Dear author, can Yoo Joonghyuk's return in the early stage be abbreviated? Yoo Joonghyuk——】
A neon stained with a street lamp hurried past his out of the corner of his black clothes,Kim Dokja suddenly stopped typing, and subconsciously stood up and looked. Looking at the other's back, the man's curled hair on the back of the neck was wet into a wisp by the rain, and the hem of the windbreaker was stained with mud spots.
Kim Dokja shouted in disbelief:
"Wait !!!"
The other party heard the sound and turned around, the black windbreaker was particularly eye-catching in the eyes of Kim Dokja , although the expression on his face was dimly lit. The reason is not real, but I can feel the low pressure around me.
Kim Dokja 's mouth spit out the three words that popped out of his mind: "Yoo
Joongh_
yuk?"

[Prepare to launch the star mark "Return to Lv.*". ]
[The Star Mark "Return to LV.*" has been activated. ]
With the announcement of the system prompt, Yoo Joonghyuk's body floated into the air like a feather, and there was no color in his empty eyes, only an empty shell was left.
I want to die...
I want to die, I want to die, I want to die, I want to die. This thought was like a flood of beasts that swept his mind.
How many times have to be repeated to reach the end point, if the end point does not exist at all, then what am I doing all this for, am I going to keep going back?
Suddenly, the system prompt sounded suddenly again, interrupting Yoo Joonghyuk's thoughts:
[The Star Mark "Return to Lv.*" was interrupted, and the correction failed, you will be thrown into an unknown time and space, countdown, 3]
What? Yoo Joonghyuk head became clear in an instant.

What is going -
[1]
When he woke up again, he stood on the streets of Seoul. In the evening, the sun is gradually covered by the clouds, and there is a damp breath in the air.
Yoo Joonghyuk looked around vigilantly, but he didn't find any abnormality, and even... not like a world where there are missions and constellations have existed. On the contrary, compared to the pedestrians who are in a hurry on the street, he is a real abnormality in the waist of a battle suit with a saber hanging on his waist.
Which zodiac sign is this trick to make fun of people? not right.
Yoo Joonghyuk thought to himself. Even if it is a constellation, there is no authority to interfere with my return star marks... What is going on.
He was very annoyed, but he couldn't vent. Just grab someone to ask, Yoo Joonghyuk thought so, and then he stretched out his hand to a staff member who looked like he had just gotten off work -
"Big brother!"
A little girl's voice sounded in his ears, and Yoo Joonghyuk's outstretched hand suddenly paused in the air, and the staff member mixed into the crowd and disappeared in front of his eyes.
"Big brother, can you help me, my balloon is stuck on the tree."
The little girl's voice was mixed with grievances, and pointed to the treetops of the small tree on the street.
Yoo Joonghyuk glared at the little girl in alertness. He instantly wanted to activate the eye of the sage, but it ended in failure, and even the system panel did not appear. He tore his clothes, shook off the little girl's hand, and said coldly.
"Let's find someone else."
The little girl's tears rolled in her eyes, looking at Yoo Joonghyuk pitifully.
"I beg you, big brother, I asked a few people on the street, and they didn't want to help me. It's about to rain. I have to go home quickly, but I really like this balloon."
Yoo Joonghyuk looked at her begging again, and he compromised. While raising his hand enough balloons, he was guarding the little girl behind her every move, but she just waited quietly in place, and did not suddenly take out a sword or activate any skill. He sent the balloon he took to the little girl's hand, and she left with a smile and thanked her. She is about the same size as Yoo mia. No, if Mia was still alive, maybe a few years older than her.
Yoo Joonghyuk looked at the little girl's back and thought silently. He hopes that in the last return, he will lose his sister forever. "If I continue to return, do I have to experience again and again to lose friends and relatives." Forget it, right now is indeed not a good time to indulge in the past.
This world is really, too calm, and this kind of calm is the biggest abnormality... In short, let's look for any clues along the street first.
So, he wandered alone on the street, and the rain that fell from the air fell on him, but in just a few minutes, he drizzled his clothes thoroughly, but he didn't care.
This rainstorm didn't do anything to him, but it did make him feel desolate again. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the streets became deserted, and the street lights were lit up in turn, adding a little light to the dark night.
He just walked aimlessly all the time, passing through the empty park, the sparrows on the benches fluttered their wings and flew into the rain curtain, and the tips of their wings swept over the leftover children's rain boots beside the trash can.
After a lot of people were in a restaurant that sheltered from the rain, the glass window was covered with white fog, and the people inside could be seen rubbing their hair with a tissue.
Passing through the construction section at the corner, the surrounding blue plastic cloth was blown by the wind. Until -
"Wait!!!"
The boy in front of him opened his mouth and said three words that shocked him:
"Yoo
Joongh
yuk?"
