Superstar From Age 0

Chapter 228

A wormhole with blue energy flickering behind Jin Natra appeared. 

He could see a city on the planet Natra on the other side, which meant it was fully operational.

Shadowman felt his heart tighten at the sight of Jin Natra, who had grown so much.

It had only been a year and six months for Shadowman, who lived on Earth, since they met at Central Park, but he could tell that more time had passed for Jin Natra, who lived on Natra.

And he could imagine how hard and painful it must have been for him during that time. 

That’s why he felt betrayed by the fact that Jin Natra was the cause of the wormhole.

“Why, why did you create the wormhole?”

You should hate the wormhole more than anyone else.

Jin Natra smiled at Shadowman’s words.

“Revenge.”

“What?”

“Revenge. Didn’t Tul Natra go to you?”

Shadowman and Bel Natra flinched. 

Jin Natra’s smile became darker. 

He took his hand off the machine, confirming that the wormhole was fully open.

He spoke calmly, despite the cold sweat. A black branch that filled half of Jin Natra’s cheek looked like a blood vessel.

“I decided to take away everything that he cherished, just like he did to me.”

“Everything he cherished?”

“There are many things.”

Jin Natra walked down slowly and reached out his shadow. 

The shadow that used to be Tul Natra’s shadow swayed and turned into a spear.

“Tul Natra’s shadow.”

Shadowman didn’t understand what he meant for a moment, but then he remembered Tul Natra’s weakened state and looked at Bel Natra behind him.

Forced succession!

He was weakened by forced succession!

Bel Natra nodded at Shadowman’s gaze and turned his head to look at Jin Natra again. 

There was denial mixed with sadness and guilt in his expression. 

He still believed in Jin Natra.

Bang!

The spear hit the ground with a loud noise, drawing the attention of the two people. Jin Natra spoke.

“Tul Natra’s country, servants, people.”

Shadowman and Bel Natra were overwhelmed by the black spaceships that filled Jin Natra’s surroundings.

Shadowman recalled that day two years ago and frowned at the helplessness that came back to him. 

Bel Natra, who had never been in such a situation before, stepped back without realizing it.

“Tul Natra’s children. Bel Natra and… Muel Natra.”

The sharp end of the spear pointed at the siblings. Jin Natra grinned, showing his teeth.

“And even Earth, which Muel Natra loves. Everything.”

“Jin Natra!”

At the word ‘Earth’, Shadowman reached out his shadow without thinking.

Jin Natra dodged Shadowman’s shadow by stepping back. 

And then he attacked Shadowman.

Unknowingly, William, no, Jin Natra, no… Shadowman bit his lip as he blocked Jin Natra’s spear that flew toward his side.

‘I don’t know.’

He didn’t know anymore. Whether the person in front of him was William, who he had to save, or Jin Natra, who he had to fight.

He hesitated every time he thought of William, who had lost his parents and suffered on Natra, while thinking that he had to attack.

He attacked every time he saw Jin Natra’s eyes burning with revenge, while thinking that he had to save him.

Their hearts clashed. 

The hero who decided to save him, Shadowman opened his mouth.

“William.”

“I told you. My name is Jin Natra.”

The wind blew between them.

The spaceship that was far away came closer to the ground. 

The entrance of the spaceship opened and the knights came down and surrounded Shadowman.

Jin Natra put the spear in his hand into the shadow and turned around.

“Cut! OK!”

The Shadowman team finished shooting from full shot to bust shot and checked the time. 

They started to pack up the sets and props they had installed here and there.

The three actors also removed their makeup and changed their clothes. In the meantime, Anh Da Ho brought Charlie over from behind the control line where he had been peeking around.

“This is my friend Charlie.”

“Hi! I’m Charlie!”

“Hi! I’m Rachel Hill.”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Evan Block.”

“I know! I’ve seen all of Shadowman. And Escape too.”

Charlie shook hands with them and smiled brightly.

“We’re going to eat now. It’s a bit early for dinner, but if you’re not busy, do you want to join us?”

Charlie looked at Seo-jun at Rachel Hill’s invitation. Seo-jun smiled brightly and Charlie nodded quickly.

“Sure!”

Private room of the hotel restaurant.

While Rachel Hill and Evan Block left their seats for a moment, Charlie asked Seo-jun with an excited face.

“Where’s your manager?”

“Da-ho hyung is in contact with Cocoa Entertainment. We’re going to Korea in a few days, so I guess he has a lot of things to do.”

Anh Da Ho was in contact with Cocoa Entertainment and director Ryan and assistant director Jonathan were checking the footage they shot today and seeing if there were any scenes to shoot tomorrow. 

They had monitored it, but they didn’t know if they missed anything.

‘I don’t know if I need to bring Jonathan along.’

Jonathan, who was assistant director, sighed that he was hired to be exploited.

Seo-jun smiled and asked Charlie.

“Did you call your dad?”

“Yeah. He’s coming to pick me up later. He wants to see Rachel Hill and Evan Block too.”

“Ahahaha. What about me?”

“Of course. He wants to see you too.”

Charlie told him how much the people in the neighborhood wanted to see Seo-jun.

“What? Why are you two having a fun conversation by yourselves?”

“Yeah. What are you talking about?”

Evan Block and Rachel Hill came in. Seo-jun and Charlie laughed as they looked at each other.

The food they ordered was set up and the private room was filled with laughter.

“So you met at the Halloween festival.”

“Oh. I saw that too. The werewolf transformation.”

“It was cooler to see it in real life. It became a legend at our Halloween festival.”

“A legend, huh.”

Seo-jun waved his hand, feeling embarrassed. Charlie quickly denied it.

“No, it’s really a legend. There were some people who tried to imitate it, but no matter how much they used machines, the smoke was faint and the shadow shape was vague. It was very clumsy. So everyone was curious how they could shoot such a video.”

‘Well, you can’t do it with machines.’

It was thanks to his ability that he had thick fog and shadow shape. 

Seo-jun quietly chewed his steak while Rachel Hill, Evan Block, and Charlie discussed seriously whether it was because of the weather.

“Moviegoer?”

“He’s a YouTuber who first broadcasted Gray Viney’s world tour. He’s Korean.”

“He’s the one who guided us at Halloween.”

Oh. Rachel Hill and Evan Block sparkled their eyes. They took out their phones and saw Charlie (only his voice, though) in Moviegoer’s video.

They chatted about various things and time flew by.

“Seo-jun. Long time no see.”

“Long time no see. Sir.”

Charlie’s dad, who came to pick up Charlie, hugged Seo-jun and shook hands with Evan Block and Rachel Hill. Charlie smiled at his dad’s happy face.

[I saw Seo-jun at the airport in France! I wanted to see more, but I couldn’t because he was leaving. ]

#Seo-jun#France#Shadowman3#KoreaShooting

“It’s out!”

A reporter shouted, and the sound of clicking mice was heard everywhere.

[Actor Seo-jun leaves France!]

[Shadowman3 leaves France!]

[Shadowman3 leaves France for Korea shooting!]

The articles that had been written in advance were uploaded in an instant.

“Find out when the flight from France arrives in Korea!”

“Yes!”

While everyone was busy moving, a new post came out.

[I’m not on the same plane as Seo-jun. Too bad. I’ll go to Korea first and wait!]

#Is it the plane behind me?#Seo-jun#Shadowman3

The reporter who shouted ‘It’s out’ turned pale at the post that followed. The departure on SNS was not Seo-jun’s departure, but the owner of SNS.

“Ah! No, no! Seo-jun didn’t leave!”

“Hey! You…”

The reporters quickly deleted their articles at the scream-like shout.

The youngest reporter blinked his eyes at the embarrassing situation.

The netizens who were reading the articles were also dumbfounded.

-So did he leave or not?

=I don’t think he did yet.

-These trash reporters. They write articles so carelessly.

-I feel like I’ve been seeing departure articles all day long

-Anyway, come safely. Seo-jun!

After 12 hours of flight, Seo-jun and the Shadowman team arrived in Korea.

Wow!!

As the actors of Shadowman showed up, the airport was filled with cheers.

There were not only fans of the three actors, but also reporters, so flashes went off everywhere.

A large camera lens that broadcasted live on YouTube showed the three actors.

-He’s here!

-He really came!!

-Korea shooting!

The cheers got louder as the three actors waved their hands, but they didn’t get too excited.

[(Active) The calming scent of apple blossoms is activated.]

A sweet scent of apple blossoms filled the airport.

“Seo-jun’s fans are amazing!”

Seoeunchan and Team 2 staff members, who had been waiting at the airport since before Seo-jun’s plane arrived, exclaimed.

They were worried about the large crowd and even called security guards from the company, but Seo-jun’s fans were Seo-jun’s fans after all.

“Seo-jun! Good luck with shooting!”

“Jin Natra fighting!”

“Shadowman3 hit big!”

“Evan, Rachel! Good luck with shooting!”

The scene of Shadowman team entering Korea was broadcasted live on YouTube. People who were watching them enter Korea from home or work also left comments.

-But isn’t it bad to cheer for Jin Natra?

= Yeah. Jin Natra is a villain.

-No, wait. If Jin Natra wins, Shadowman won’t end, right?

=Oh! Oh! That’s right!

=Jin Natra fighting!

=Hang in there! Jin Natra!!

=Do it until Shadowman10!

“Wow!”

They got out of the airport amid cheers and got into Seo-jun’s car. 

It looked like it had been cleaned up, but there was still a trace of Seo-jun’s life. Rachel Hill sank into the large and spacious seat and smiled.

“Seo-jun’s car. It feels so familiar.”
