Player who Returned 10,000 years Later-Chapter 332: Kimchi

Oh Kang-Woo opened his eyes. He felt this way all the time whenever he slept with Han Seol-Ah, but his body felt light. His mind was extremely clear, and the demonic energy within him was as quiet as a docile lamb.

This is why I can never quit sleeping with darling.

Kang-Woo smiled from the feeling of refreshment clearing his mind. Although he did not need sleep, he always made sure to sleep at least three to four hours anyway because of this very feeling of refreshment.

And

Kang-Woo drew out his demonic energy by habit.

Oh, my demonic energy control didnt improve today.

Kang-Woo expressed disappointment. His demonic energy control did not unconditionally improve just from sleeping with Seol-Ah; it was a random occurrence, about a twenty to thirty percent chance.

Thats still phenomenal.

Considering that Kang-Woo possessed enough demonic energy to face beings of godhood despite himself not being able to use Divinity, just being able to improve his control over it was already amazing enough. However

... There have been more and more lately.

Kang-Woo frowned from seeing the red spots all over his upper body. Ever since Lilith joined their chambers with the excuse of needing to make a magic tool that would conceal Seol-Ahs powers, he saw more and more red spots on him every time he woke up, to the point that it was abnormal.

Its sometimes on a very specific area too.

Kang-Woo lifted his pants and checked between his legs.

Kurgh.

After red spots began to form on that specific area, the physiological phenomenon that had come to him every morning without fail, stopped. Kang-Woo looked down at his lifeless Franois miserably.

Youre not dead, are you?

Youre still alive, right, Franois?

Kang-Woo worriedly rubbed the red spots lightly that had formed around his thighs.

Kang-Woo~ He heard Seol-Ahs voice from across the door. Its time to get up~ The meeting time is coming up~

Got it, Kang-Woo answered as he got up. He looked around the room while stretching. ... Ive grown quite attached to this place.

The 350 square-feet room felt more familiar to him now than his grand demon king castle. He sentimentally slid his hand over his table, and turned his gaze toward his very expensive laptop.

I shouldnt forget this.

Kang-Woo opened his bag and packed his laptop. He did not need a charger; since there was no way that 220V outlets would exist in Aernor, he had his laptop modified so that it would be powered by mana instead. There was only one reason why he would go so far as to take the laptop with him.

Kang-Woo grabbed the rectangular item the size of his palm and put it in his pocket. It was an indispensable weapon that he had spent months perfecting between his training times, which would be of great help in his mission in Aernor; an external hard drive with a whopping 120 terabytes of storage.

Also known as

Noahs Ark; the item that would save humanity on the brink of extinction. It contained all the mysterious knowledge regarding the birth of life.

... Alright.

Kang-Woo placed the external hard drive in his breast pocket, where he would be able to feel its warmth through his heart.

Kang-Woo? Seol-Ah called from outside his room.

Ill be right out.

Kang-Woo left his room to see Seol-Ah, Lilith, Echidna, Cha Yeon-Joo, Halcyon, Balrog, and Vaal Zahak already gathered.

Oh, I guess hes Vernaak now.

Kang-Woo stared at the young man wearing a monocle, exuding a gloomy air. Vaal Zahak, who was wearing human skin made using magic, was using the alias Vernaak due to several circumstances.

What did you pack? Lilith asked.

Nothing in particular. I was just in my thoughts since we wont be coming back here for a while, Kang-Woo lied.

Hohoho. Youre being unusually sentimental.

The quick-witted Lilith scanned Kang-Woo up and down. Kang-Woo took a step back and placed his hand on his left bosom.

Hm! Hm! Ill show you my lair when we get to Aernor, Kang-Woo!

Echidna was hyper, considering this to be a trip that she was going with Kang-Woo.

Kang-Woo smirked and nodded. Yeah. We should definitely go there.

Although the mission was not so leisurely that they could call it a trip, if they successfully eliminated the Demon Gods corpse, it was not a bad idea to tour another world before coming back to Earth.

Wh-What should I do, Master Kang-Woo? Sh-Should I wear a mask? If I e-expose such a hideous face, I might become a nuisance to you Halcyon bit his nails anxiously.

Kang-Woo flicked Halcyons forehead and said, Nonsense. You already experienced it here, didnt you? No one will be disgusted by how you look.

B-But!

No one will, so theres no need to worry.

Although Kang-Woo was unsure of Aernors beauty standards, they would not be disgusted by Halcyons looks. They would more likely be horrified by Liliths true form.

Wow, look at all these beauties around you. Youre gonna get a harem at this rate. Yeon-Joo glanced at him sourly.

Kang-Woo shrugged. I cant help being a chick magnet.

Big words for a virgin.

Kang-Woo took severe emotional damage. He took out a mana stone that led to the Hall of Protection while frowning.

Lets go.

A white Gate that had become all too familiar formed. Kang-Woos party took their own bags and entered the Gate.

Ah, hyung-nim!

Is that everyone?

Kim Si-Hun and Layla were waiting for them in the Hall of Protection after finishing their own preparations. Kang-Woo walked up to them while waving.

Is everyone ready? he asked.

Yes! fre enovelkiss.com

Another world Its a bit nerve-wracking. Seol-Ah took deep breaths with her hand on her chest. Just that slight movement caused something to shake.

Seeing that, Yeon-Joos expression stiffened, her gaze shifting to her own chest. Fucking mid dif[1].

Someone had fed the mid.

How are you feeling, Layla? I heard that you werent in the best condition because you accepted so much of Lady Gaias power Kang-Woo asked.

Oh, Im fine. Though its true that I pushed myself a bit to accept enough of Lady Gaias power to be able to communicate with her even in Aernor, but its nothing I cant handle, Layla answered while energetically clenching her fists.

Kang-Woo nodded in relief.

Layla is the key to this whole operation.

Even if they managed to successfully eliminate the Demon Gods corpse without the help of Gaias incarnation, they had absolutely no way of manipulating the protection of Aernor.

Ah Layla suddenly stared off into space. She then said, Lady Gaia has told us to make sure to come back safely.

Kang-Woo got down on one knee in front of Layla and lowered his head. Lady Gaia. Just like how you saved me, I will do my best to save you this time.

Riiing.

[No, my child. I should be apologizing to you for entrusting such a dangerous mission to you.]

[You have been blessed by the Goddess of Earth!]

[You have recovered from all fatigue, and perfect physical condition will be maintained!]

Powder made of white light sprinkled down on Kang-Woos party. Kang-Woo smirked with his head still lowered.

Nice.

Gaia did not seem to have discovered Kang-Woos true identity. Rather, it seemed like her trust and affection toward him had become far deeper than before. Kang-Woo felt like he could lower his worries regarding her sudden trolling, like she had done in the past.

[Find the high elves once you arrive in Aernor. They will guide you.]

High elves, huh?

Kang-Woo peeked a glance at Si-Hun and recalled the Holy Sword Ludwig that was currently in his possession.

Come to think of it, Ludwig used to have a high elves blessing.

There was a chance that high elves possessed a special ability of detecting all that was demonic.

... Im a bit worried.

If they were able to detect the Demonic Sea within him, it would result in all sorts of troubles.

But its not like I can afford to avoid them.

Since Lucis had no idea where the Demon Gods heart was located, there was no other way to locate it than to rely on the high elves since they couldnt just randomly roam all over Aernor in search of it.

I understand. Kang-Woo nodded.

[May the light guide you.]

The powder made of light that had been sprinkling on their heads vanished. Kang-Woo got up and checked the time on his smartphone.

It should be

It was about time that what he had prepared would arrive.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

However, what had arrived was not what Kang-Woo had been waiting for.

Hey, hey! You gotta take me with you too! Uriel shouted while hurriedly running. He sighed in relief after seeing that the party had not left yet, and then glared at Kang-Woo. You didnt forget about me, did you?

Of course not. We were waiting for you, Kang-Woo answered.

... Didnt you guys gather way too early for that?

Pardon?

Even Kang-Woo had been a little later than the scheduled meeting time.

Tch, Seol-Ah clicked her tongue from behind.

Kang-Woo more or less had an idea of why Uriel had been late.

Layla walked forward and said, Since weve all gathered, lets g

Wait, Kang-Woo interjected. My order still hasnt arrived yet, so lets wait a little longer.

... Your order?

Yes. Its a necessity for our mission to Aernor.

Kang-Woos party members tilted their heads in confusion while staring at the serious Kang-Woo.

What is it? Yeon-Joo asked.

Vrrrr. Just then, Kang-Woos smartphone vibrated.

Its here.

Speak of the Devil, and he would come; it was truly perfect timing.

Youll see, replied Kang-Woo while turning around, and walked to one of the Gates of the Hall of Protection.

It was the one that led to the Grand Canyon, the place that Balrog, Kang-Woo and others often used as a training area since they could let loose as much as they wanted there.

What did you As Yeon-Joo was talking, her mouth fell open after going through the Gate. ... What the hell is all this?

An enormous number of boxes were piled up to the point that one would think they were at a warehouse or a harbor. Yeon-Joo approached one of the boxes and checked the english text written on it.

Kimchi Yeon-Joo froze. Dont tell me, you

I told you. Its a necessity, Kang-Woo replied while smirking, and triumphantly revealed what was in the boxes. A hundred thousand tonnes of pork and kimchi, various vegetables and spices. I also prepared ten thousand tonnes of tuna, beef, eel and mackerel since it might be tiring to have just pork all the time.

Kang-Woo trembled from delight. Aaaahh

It was perfect. This was the definition of heaven. Although he had prepared it himself, it could not have been any more perfect.

Yeon-Joo stared at the gigantic pile of boxes with her mouth agape. How are you planning on taking all this with you?

I prepared this, answered Kang-Woo as he took out a bag.

It was a magic item that he had asked from Khadgar in exchange for his freedom. It was the ultimate item that could not only store an enormous number of ingredients, but could even maintain their freshness as well!

Thats not the end of it. Kang-Woo had even prepared for the worst-case scenario and prepared live pigs as well as seeds for various vegetables and spices. Hahahahahaha!!

He could not help but laugh. He clenched his fists and shouted toward the sky, Never again Never again will I make the same mistake!

This time, it would be different; Kang-Woo recalled the vow that he had made last night.

Fuck. Yeon-Joo grabbed her head.

Why Why the fuck did I quit my guild master position to follow this goddamn lunatic who sold his soul to kimchi stew?

She felt like she was going to cry. It felt like her heartfelt decision had been stained after kimchi stew had been poured on it.

You fucking kimchi stew maniac

Yeon-Joos voice spread throughout the empty space in vain.
