Former Hero, Solo Play Oriented

The Next Day, Kris Removed the Capsule from My Room.

She must have thought the capsule was the gateway I used to reach that world in my real body.

But I could go there at any moment, with or without the capsule.

This was the rift between Kris and me.

For the first time, a true divide had formed between us, who cherished each other so deeply.

A divide that would not be easily resolved.

No matter how much Kris tried to understand me, she could only ever understand "Iseulbi".

A modern-day human like Kris could never understand "Rain", the hero.

"Seulbi, I'm sorry for taking away the capsule. But you can't. Please, don’t go. If you die, then what’s the point of all this?"

Since that day, Kris never left my side for even a second.

She did everything she could to convince me.

She shouted at me, she cried her heart out, she even threatened to lock me up.

But I remained silent.

If Kris wouldn't fight alongside me, then I would simply face the Legion Commander alone.

"Kris, I'm sorry."

I whispered softly, running my fingers through her sleeping face.

Her smooth skin had turned rougher.

Because of me, she hadn’t slept for days.

She had suffered so much.

She had exhausted herself trying to keep me here.

I’m sorry, Kris.

But what can I do?

It’s not just my fault.

It’s also yours, for falling for someone as troublesome as me.

Thank you, Kris.@@novelbin@@

Thanks to you, Iseulbi was able to stand back up.

But now, I have to go.
