15 – Redefining human relationships (2)

Lee Hyeon-seong’s interpersonal relationship was not narrow.

Although he had no friends other than Rajeyoung at the academy, he was a guy who met a lot of people well outside.

I could tell by looking at the phone book on my cell phone.

“But why didn’t the professor’s and instructor’s numbers exist? Are you crazy?”

Truly, every action makes you curse.

Other professors and instructors will have to save it sooner or later.

anyway.

Including the recently added numbers, the number of registered numbers exceeded 500. For me, who had only 10 numbers in my previous life, it was a startling number.

Still, I didn’t feel particularly envious or great.

In fact, most, no, almost all of the owners of the registered numbers here had a shallow relationship.

Neighbors who are of no help in life.

no You can’t even call this a relationship.

Most of them are friends with poor quality or girls who got their number through hunting.

Rather, I decided to cut off all inappropriate relationships that could be poisonous.

“Let’s delete useless numbers.”

It was the so-called backseat.

As much as starting a new life.

It was right to clean up human relationships as well.

“Once registered, it was a style that would not be erased. It makes people tired in many ways.”

Check each name.

Contrasting Lee Hyun-seong’s memories, he recalls what kind of relationship they had.

and determine

delete.

delete again.

Delete this guy too.

Also delete the bully.

Continue to delete.

Lee Hyun-sung’s personal connections that he had built up over the years are gradually being erased.

Was he a really careless guy?

Even the worst bad actors still had numbers.

Like a girl who confessed to me as a joke when I was in middle school.

“Ugh. Get rid of this rubbish sooner rather than later. Do you leave it behind after eating such a disgrace…”

Like the twin sisters next door who recruited them into the guild they belong to at a high price of 5 cost, and cut them off like a knife when their poor skills were revealed in the academy ranking match.

“What is this… I can’t say it’s not my fault, no, Lee Hyun-seong’s fault. Delete it though.”

Like the ex-girlfriend who got caught cheating on me when I was in high school.

“Seeing that you don’t feel any emotions, you really don’t have any regrets, so why are you leaving your number behind?”

oh Seeing this, Lee Hyun-seong seems a bit pitiful…

“Delete everything!”

The registered number was blown away.

Even if it goes to the point of not cleaning the room because I’m lazy, I have to organize these things before I live. He’s really a no-nonsense guy.

“after. It’s a bit cleaner now.”

In no time, the remaining number was reduced to six.

I corrected that the old man was the father.

The Aura Guild that banished me had a debt to pay, so I left it.

Rajeyoung hasn’t sold me out yet, but since we’re still students at the same academy, I haven’t erased her…

“I don’t have your sister’s number.”

He has a twin sister, but his name is nowhere to be found in the phone book. You probably didn’t save the number in the first place.

“Are you in the army now?”

I was thinking that I should get a number when I go on vacation.

“ah? You can just ask your father.”

I was going to text him anyway, but in the meantime, I decided to get my sister’s number as well.

I clicked on my father’s number to text him.

Then, a list of texts sent earlier popped up on the screen.

[Dad or money running out. Just deposit 1 million won.]

[Pay me some money. Only 1 million won.]

[Please deposit only 1 million won. ㅃㄹㅄ]

“Well······.”

It was a thought-provoking text.

I quickly erased the remnants of the past and wrote the text. It was quite long because there was so much to say.

Here’s a summary of the key points:

You do not have to send dormitory fees in the future. In addition, I won’t ask for pocket money, so I hope you stop running for substitutes at night. You don’t have to worry about living in poverty. You can earn a lot of money by accidentally becoming the owner of a dungeon. etc.

At the end, I once again asked Shinsin to never send money.

The reply that arrived shortly after was simple.

[Who are you… ?]

What?

As I was staring blankly at my phone, a text message arrived one after another.

[My Hyeonseong doesn’t call me father… ]

oh

He seemed to feel a sense of alienation about the name change.

I sent a text message because I was afraid it would be awkward, but I just called and heard my voice to clear up the misunderstanding.

To avoid suspicion, I explained the situation in a slightly sharp tone.

Even if I’m not the real Lee Hyun-sung.

The emotions he felt and various memories were intact, so there was no fear that the fact that he was a possessed person would be exposed.

After talking on the phone for about 10 minutes.

I even got my sister’s number and hung up.

“…But the more we talk, the more I really feel like my father.”

now i don’t know what

I gave up my complicated thoughts and packed my things to leave the dormitory.

Boxes stacked one after another in the corner.

It’s not enough to call a moving center, but it was difficult to move it alone.

But I said there is a way.

─Kei!

─Kiririk!

─Puuu.

It is enough to distribute all the burdens to the summoned monsters.

Then, when entering the encyclopedia, it is recognized as an object belonging to one’s own and can be taken with it.

My conscience stung a little when I saw the summons I liked like a child who received a birthday present.

sorry. I’ll take that all back later…

In order not to be beaten, I should prepare a real present.

“Then let’s go in, kids.”

Summons go into the road book.

After getting ready to leave, I checked my phone again.

The text alarm went off twice along the way, but I was putting it off because I was busy organizing my luggage.

The first text was from my father.

[Thank you… If it’s hard, don’t overdo it and just tell me… No matter what people say, Dad always supports Hyun-seong… ]

My heart aches for nothing

Let’s do filial piety instead of the country.

Because now I am Lee Hyun-sung.

And the next letter.

[hello. The Aura Guild Finance Department will contact you. Your loan repayment date is…]

turned it off right away

I didn’t have to read more because it was a story about paying off debt quickly.

I got all the loans from the Aura Guild I belonged to before.

It’s not an amount that can’t be repaid, so you have to pay it off as soon as possible.

So stop texting me!

“I spend every single day so that I get a real psychosis. Poisonous bastards.”

He clicked his tongue and left the dormitory.

The new residence was about an hour’s drive from the academy.

“The atmosphere in the neighborhood is gloomy.”

As I entered the alley after dusk, I felt a bleak atmosphere. It’s a neighborhood where you can feel a bit of a difference, perhaps because it’s a place where explorers dispatched from Japan live.

As you can tell just by looking at the atmosphere, it was not a very safe neighborhood.

However, I think it’s safer than the academy where accidents happen constantly. Even though blood splatters on the floor at regular intervals… it’s not an area where the demonic powers of the terrorist group Liberation extend.

“I’m sure after taking the left path from here…”

As I walked while checking the map app I had on my cell phone from time to time, before I knew it, a shabby two-story mansion that looked like it would collapse if I knocked on it caught my eye.

The appearance of an abandoned house.

This was the one room I would move into.

One reason I chose this place.

Because the monthly rent is cheap.

There was no deposit, and the monthly rent was 150,000 won.

Isn’t that too cheap anyway?

This is the only room I’ve been in.

The other room is still 300,000 won.

There is no reason why this room is cheap. It’s just cheap because it’s the place where the murder happened.

Ordinary people would of course be reluctant to go to a house where a murder took place out of embarrassment, but I didn’t really care. Rather, it was rather obnoxious.

What if a person died?

It’s not like there’s a single evil spirit coming out.

I climbed the stairs attached to the outer wall to the second floor and walked to the door at the end of the hallway. When I opened the door with the key given by the landlord and entered, the musty smell of dust stung my nose.

I had seen it once before, but I looked around the inside again slowly.

Mold is growing all over the floor.

“It’s okay because you can’t see it if you put a blanket on it.”

One side of the double-pane casement window is broken and shards of glass are scattered on the floor.

“You can clean the floor tomorrow. What about the windows… It’s good if it’s well ventilated. Ventilation must be done frequently. If it’s cold, let’s block it with a box.”

Squeeze!

A small black unknown creature can also be seen moving rapidly along the wall.

I just pretended not to see it.

“Well. This is enough to live on.”

It is also a fine room with no flaws.

The size of the room is about 10 pyeong.

I think it’s wide enough to live alone.

A house is all you need is a place to sleep, a bathroom, and a kitchen.

I don’t want anything big in my current situation.

I was able to get a good house at such a low price if I reduced my greed.

“It’s getting dark, so I’ll just lay out my things and go to sleep.”

Summons were summoned to easily unpack.

Kkaebi, who came out first, looked around, then stared somewhere with a stern face.

─Keee!!!

“Kkaebi, why are you angry in the air?”

─Kei!!

I guess you don’t like the room.

Well, the academy dormitory should have been extravagant.

Get used to it, wake up.

Because this is our future home.

─Kei! Key!

“Why is he like this today?”

It seems that my senses have become very sensitive because it is an unfamiliar environment.

It’s tricky.

It’s not entirely bad, except for a little chill.

If you spend some time with it, even the kkaebi will adapt.

“now. Since I have to pack up quickly and go to bed, let’s go back into the encyclopedia and bring out the belongings we left earlier, kids?”

Having said that, there was still a backlash.

Well, somehow he managed to calm down the summoned beasts and return the goods he had brought. They even promised each other that they would give each other a gift later.

After that, after taking a simple cold shower, I spread a blanket on the floor and went to sleep early.

Except for the bizarre nightmare of a black-haired woman in a white suit staring at me from the ceiling, it was not a bad bed.
