The Player Who Returned From The Apocalypse

Chapter 28

“Hello. Hero. Thank you for saving me. My name is Asabel.”

As soon as they accepted the party, Asabel raised her skirt slightly and said hello.

It was a very polite and dignified gesture.

Seongjin pondered how she should be equal, but she just bowed her head slightly and said hello.

“Yes. I’m glad you’re safe. And I’m not a hero.”

She thought, technically, that she had a hero in her title, but that the opponent didn’t know it.

She said she didn’t even know if she had invited her to her party.

She said, “Can you tell them not to be vigilant for now? I’m thinking of giving you a potion because I see people getting hurt.”

“I am blessed again and again. Even if not, I thought it would be difficult to heal them all on my own. Please wait for a moment.”

Saying so, Asabel beckoned her knight and her men to withdraw their weapons.

It seemed that she was also her highest-ranking person.

Seeing that she had gathered her weapon, Seongjin opened her shop and purchased several of her D-class potions and put them down.

Then her soldiers and knights took them one by one, and gave preference to the immobile ones to spray on their bodies or drink.

She began to use her healing magic with Asa Bell.

A white sphere protruded from her body, which flew off and permeated the bodies of the soldiers and knights, and soon began to recover.

She said, ‘Is she a saint?’

She recalled her title as she looked when she asked for her party.

She is one of the most precious titles.

The effect of her title simply increases the effectiveness of healing magic and skills.

However, if the item or skill she has is simple, the effect is good.

In the future, a healer with this title would have her amputated limbs, as long as she had them, reattached, and if alive, she would resurrect any fatal wounds.

Asa Belle is not at that level because of her low level, but she is still very proficient in concurrent therapy.

‘then… Shall we wait like this?’

Sungjin sat down on the spot.

There is not much time left, but there is still something to notice.

All of her injuries are being treated, and she can’t bite and sag.

At times like this, she liked to wait quietly so she wouldn’t mind.

But, should I say that?

Despite her Asabel’s orders, her gaze at herself still stinged.

‘Well, it’s not that I don’t understand.’

I was told not to be vigilant, but it was a situation where I had to be vigilant.

She was there as she seemed to believe in herself, Asa Bell also rolled her eyes and she was staring at herself secretly.

‘Should we keep some distance?’

so they can feel more at ease.

Seongjin thought so and tried to get up from her seat.

“there….”

Then she was called by Asa Bell.

He seems to be psychic enough to talk while using his healing skill.

She put her hand on her chest as she stopped and took her deep breaths and spoke her up again.

“Where… are you going?”

“No. I was just trying to keep my distance because other people seemed to be awkward with me.”

“Is that so. I didn’t even respond properly, but I’m worried that you’re leaving.”

Asa Bell said so, and she smiled shyly, as if indifferent.

Then she sat right next to Sungjin’s seat.

“If it’s awkward, you have to get used to it. You shouldn’t keep a distance. It’s awkward because you don’t know each other well.”

“That would be easy to talk about. I have a lot of things I want to ask you.”

“That… is it?”

Specifically, what kind of place this world is.

Asabel seemed to be taken aback by Sungjin’s words.

Then she coughed a few times and cleared her voice.

“And it turns out, you didn’t even tell me your name. My name is Kim Seong-jin. You can just call me Seong-jin.”

“Sungjin, she’s not a common name. Where did you come from?”

“Well, you know, once she came from a country called Korea?”

“Korea… soup?”

“Do you know a country called America?”

At Seongjin’s words, Asa Bell shook her head.

She thought she would.

No matter how you think about it, this is not Earth.

Monsters were walking normally, but there was no way this was Earth.

I was wondering if hunters from other countries would come here and spread the information, so I tried all the names of the countries I knew, but all I got back was that I didn’t know.

‘If you look closely, she is also quite different from me.’

Same person, but different race.

This is because white skin and long silver hair are difficult to see in the modern world unless it is dyed.

“It’s just countries I don’t know.”

“I thought so. The world I live in wasn’t like this. I came here after clearing the gate, but it’s probably a different world.”

Asa Bell listened to Seongjin and nodded his head.

The gate is still unknown.

It was not strange to go in there and whatever happened.

In particular, what happens to the Awakened who does not escape after clearing the gate is still unknown.

Asabel thought maybe this was it.

“It’s a really big deal. Is there a way back?”

“The system says you can go back in time, so don’t worry about it,” she said.

Hearing that, Asa Bell felt sorry for her.

It was such a pity that she had to miss such a talented person here.

Sungjin then explained where she was.

In terms of differences from this world, it is approximate but easy to understand.

“…it’s strange that there are no monsters in the original place.”

“Were there monsters here from the beginning?”

“Yes. Sure. Gates existed before they even existed. Some monsters also have intelligence, so I traded with them and had a party.”

“Are you talking about monsters?”

“Yes. This time it was the way to that monster. It was the way to check because there was an explosion like a gate break in the place where the Serpentmen who were allies with us were.”

“….”

When she heard that, something came to mind.

When she herself came over this way.

It was to kill the surviving Serpentman with traces like Gate Break.

Of course, he was all dying, so he was going to die if he left it alone, but it seemed like he did something wrong when he said he was an ally with a human.

“By the way, I was unlucky to meet an ogre here. It must have been somewhere else, but why am I here…”

It’s because she brought this guy with her.

The ogre was nothing more than chasing after him in hiding and changing his target this way.

He didn’t feel like he was of any help.

‘It’s my responsibility to help you now.’

If you know your current situation, even if you turn to the enemy completely, there is nothing to say.

Let’s just keep our mouth shut.

“And it looks like you came out of the forest, have you not seen Serpentman?”

“I’ve seen traces of Gate Break in the woods. There were several corpses of Serpentmen… Maybe that’s it?”

“Can you tell me what it looks like?”

“Well, I mean, there was something like an elongated urn and a flag with a red snake pattern…”

He talked about the scenery he saw as soon as he came here and the objects there.

Although most of them were broken, they remembered unusual objects and patterns.

“…that’s right. They are very closely related to the life of the tribe.”

“That’s not right.”

“Yeah. This again reduced the power of the gate defense again.”

Asa Bell said so and clasped his hands tightly.

Gate brakes are becoming more and more common these days.

And at a faster rate than that number, the warriors who will fight at the gate, the Awakened, are dying.

Now, the number of Awakened was scarce.

“Wait a minute. Can those… monsters enter the gate?”

“Yes. As long as you have Awakened, you can all enter. And Boni, you may not know that there are no monsters in Seongjin’s world.”

Only Awakened characters and items can enter the gate.

This is a fact that has been confirmed by research results so far.

By the way, monsters can enter gates, and monsters can be Awakened too.

I’ve never thought of it like that.

‘And I saw… .’

Sungjin looked back.

The corpse of the ogre she killed.

it remains

Not only that.

When she herself arrived in this world.

A serpentman’s corpse was lying nearby.

When a monster dies, it leaves no corpse.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

It disappears leaving behind only the magic stone.

Just like the hunter who died at the gate.

But they were not.

‘A normal monster… .’

Although it was contradictory that monsters were ordinary.

I had no choice but to say this.

The monsters I’ve seen inside the gate so far are all Awakened monsters that use the same system as them.

Therefore, I did not know that Awakened monsters and normal monsters were separated.

‘By the way, they gave me experience and points even though I killed normal monsters.’

Even though it was a normal monster that was easier to catch than an Awakened monster, the difference between experience and points was not that big.

It was like an invitation to slaughter here.

Of course, as long as there is a risk that you may not be able to go back, it is something you cannot do without care.

“Thanks to you, I know a lot.”

“I’m glad it was helpful. So can you do my request?”

“What?”

“I want to see the traces of the gate break that Sungjin saw, can you take me to it?”

I looked around.

Now, the knights and soldiers slowly began to rise from their seats.

Most of the wounds seem to have healed, but I feel very uneasy.

Although some have not yet been cured, the fear of ogres has taken hold.

‘I must be anxious.’

Her mission is to make sure of her ally one Serpentman.

No matter how much she believes her own words, she will be forced to confirm.

“I do that.”

“Thank you. I’ll give you enough compensation.”

Sungjin decided to grant her request.

She wouldn’t have met the ogre if she hadn’t been for her in the first place.

It was because she thought she was responsible for that.

‘Because there are things I want to try.’

Luckily I had a party with Awakened in this world.

Shouldn’t it be time to test several things this time?
