Max Level Newbie - Chapter 119

Chapter 119

At first, he couldn’t remember the way to home .

His house that he had wanted to come back to earnestly was only the destination that didn’t lose its glow after many years .

Everywhere on the way was damaged and remained fragmented .

Good thing he remembered his home address correctly .

Asking a few people, he at last found the apartment that he had lived, ascended to the 21st floor by the elevator .

‘Too slow,’

Ascending floor by floor felt like 1 year in the Lava Demon cave .

He finally got out of the elevator and stared at the front door .

A very strange feeling .

As if he was standing in front of someone else’s house . He hesitated .

‘ . . . I have never expected to feel like this,’

Vulcan trembled with an entirely different kind of anxiety than he had ever felt .

Although he was an experienced warrior, having chopped down many monsters, demons, and wicked mages like rice straw, he could feel ‘fear’ .

He was concerned that he would feel awkward .

Like that, he stood still for some time .

“ . . . ”

However, he knew that he couldn’t keep on like this forever .

Vulcan slapped his face, then let out a sound, ‘ha’ .

He felt a bit better as he released tensions in the torso .

With more solemn eyes than when he faced the boss monster in the Light inside the Darkness, he put his hand on the doorknob .

Bulkuk .

He couldn’t open the door as someone opened it before he tried .

Vulcan stared at the person .

With an apron around her waist and wet hands, the person poked her her head .

His mother, Lee Hye-won .

He shook off all those negative feelings as he looked at her .

“Mother…”

Although he lived almost 300 years, he was just a 20-year old young man in Earth .

With tears running down his cheeks, he held onto her arms .

She was baffled by it .

“What’s wrong… Didn’t you say you were going to a school field trip 3 hours ago… Weren’t you wearing a duck-down parka? Why are you wearing… less in this freezing winter? Were you… robbed???”

Lee Hye-won patted Vucan, Kim Jae-hyuk’s back .

Vulcan kept crying without saying anything .

Lee Hye-won, who thought something bad had happened to her son, tried to take him into the house, holding his hand .

Then, she felt the very thick callus on his palm .

Hard like a stone, his hand startled her .

“Your hand… ???”

She let go of his hand and took one step back, away from him .

The son, who came into her sight, was a bit different than she had ever known .

Much more rugged, sturdy body .

By looking at the exposed arms, she could associate with the muscles under his clothes .

“Son, your body…?”

Her wordlessness explained her emotions .

Whether or not, Vulcan kept crying as if a faucet had sprung a leak .

Like that, he cried for quite some time in front of the door, holding onto her arms .

“Hey! I need to use that computer!”

“In a moment,”

“Nope, move over there!”

Vulcan’s younger sister, Kim Ha-young, her small hands pushed at Vulcan’s shoulders .

But she couldn’t push him out, who had ‘Godly Body’ .

His body was as hard as a rock .

Kim Ha-young told him off in a high tone voice .

“Argh! What the hell are you doing…”

“Looking at my date of enlisting,”

“Ah… sorry,”

“Why sorry,”

Vulcan spoke in calm tones .

Kim Ha-young was dumbfounded by his nonchalant attitude .

“Why are you acting nonchalant?”

“Why not,”

“You are acting like going to a two nights, three days camp,”

*FYI - South Korea requires all of its male citizens to serve in the military for two years and draft dodging is a problem .

Two years felt like two days to Vulcan .

Vulcan, who had been battling for 100 years .

Just two years of military service was nothing to him .

After looking at the information related to the Air Force and the Marine Corps, he rose from his seat, nodding his head .

Vulcan laid on the bed beside the desk, his arms and legs splayed out .

Listening to a EXO’s song that his sister was playing on the computer, he closed his eyes and relished the comfort .

He was happy .

There were no words strong enough to express it .

It has been almost a year since Vulcan returned to Earth .

Having got used to South Korea, he became a normal college student .

Like other college students, he went to college, took classes, hung out with his friends and had a drink .

Because of the personality that changed somewhat, interpersonal relationship became narrower than before, but it did not matter .

Except he didn’t have a girlfriend, he was satisfied with his life now .

‘Ah… one more thing…’

Beside that, there was one more thing that irritated his nerves .

He frowned slightly and had the thought distracting him .

‘Devil’s army… When would they come? I think it’s about time…’

When he returned to Act 1 from Earth, he heard that the Devil had called out near Shinchon, about 1 year after he had left Earth .

The area was not far from where he lived .

Besides, he thought he could take of the 1st army easily .

It didn’t take long for him to realize that he was wrong about it .

He frowned a little deeper .

“Ah… I can’t go to the military then…’

Of course, regardless of where his troops was located, he could reach Seoul in a short time, but it could become very difficult if the Devil’s army invaded during group actions or night watches .

‘Damn, should I put off…’

He then let out a deep sigh as he hoped the Devil’s army  would come soon .

Kim Ha-young, who squinted at Vulcan .

When she met his eyes, she turned her head back to the monitor as if nothing had just happened .

Watching the boy group, Exo dancing, she thought to herself .

‘He must have done something to his skin and body…’

After giving a quick glance at Vulcan lying in the bed, she shook her head as if it didn’t makes, as if something didn’t add up .

Vulcan, who was her ordinary brother a year ago, became someone else .

Smoother skin .

Much nicer shape .

‘What the hell happened to him?’

Kim Ha-young turned her chair to the bed, then asked .

“Hey,”

“What,”

“How come you don’t have a girlfriend?”

“Not that I don’t have, but I can’t,”

Vulcan answered, with a sullen look .

Kim Ha-young continued, shaking her head .

“Isn’t it because you are always at home? It’s Halloween . Aren’t you going to Itaewon with your friends?”

“My friends are serving in the military . And there is nothing like staying at home for Halloween,”

Kim Ha-young clicked her tongue .

Vulcan was lying on the bed as a dead man, Kim Ha-young frowned slightly .

‘Nothing beats ordinary days…’ Vulcan said to himself .

As he was relishing the comfort of his bed, he could feel the dark, wicked power approaching .

He raised up himself .

A crisis more terrible than the catastrophe predicted by Nostradamus .

But he seemed impassive as he was fully aware of it .

Rather, a slight smile hovering over his lips .

Getting ready to go out, he said .

“I’m going out,”

“Where are you going? It’s late!”

“Shinchon,”

“When will you be back?”

“Tomorrow morning, nah, I’m not sure,”

Vulcan hurried out of the apartment .

He had a quick look around to see if there were people and CCTVs, then wore the Demon Duke set .

There was nothing better than this to conceal his identity .

Shuuuuuuuuukkkkkkkkk .

As he flew up swiftly into the sky, a big smile bloomed on Vulcan’s face .

‘I’m coming,’
