Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

Meanwhile, at home, the house was filled with warmth and laughter.

Seoyang and John had just arrived, and waiting by the door was Ahye—already wearing her tiny school uniform. Her backpack looked a bit big on her small frame, but her smile was even bigger.

As soon as she saw them, Ahye ran over with quick little steps.

"Mommy! Daddy!"

John opened his arms wide and lifted her up into the air. "Are you ready to go to school, hmm?"

Ahye giggled and nodded quickly. "Yep! I'm excited to have friends! Finally, heehee!"

Seoyang smiled as she gently fixed Ahye's hair and brushed off some dust on her sleeve. "You look so pretty in your uniform. I'm sure everyone will love you."

Just then, the door to one of the rooms opened, and Seojun stepped out.

His hair was slightly messy, like he just finished reading or training, but he still looked calm and cool.

Ahye wiggled out of John's arms and ran to Seojun. She grabbed his hand and raised it with pride.

"Big brother will come too!"

Seojun blinked, surprised. "Hmm?"

Ahye looked up at him with bright eyes. "It's my first day! You said you'll come with me, remember? You promised!"

John and Seoyang looked at each other and smiled.

Seojun let out a small chuckle. "Of course, I remember."

Ahye held tightly to his hand. "Big brother is the best. Everyone will see I have the coolest big brother!"

John laughed. "Well, shall we all get ready then? First days don't wait for anyone."

Before they could step outside the house, Ahye suddenly stopped at the door.

"Wait!" she said, holding out her arms to block everyone. Seojun, John, and Seoyang looked at her in surprise.

"I don't want to go out as a Hamilton," she said softly.

Seoyang understood right away. She smiled gently and nodded. "Alright."

With a simple wave of her hand, Seoyang used a small magic illusion. In just a moment, their appearances changed. John's white hair turned black, and his face looked older—like a normal 43-year-old dad also Seoyang.

Then, she looked at Ahye with a smile. "Let's change yours too."

Ahye's long, snowy-white hair became chestnut brown. She looked like a normal little girl now—not the famous Hamilton child with white hair.

"Now no one will notice," Seoyang said, fixing Ahye's collar.

Ahye twirled in place and looked at herself in the mirror. "Yay! I look just like everyone else!"

Seojun stood near the wall, watching silently with a small smile.

Then Ahye turned to him with a sparkle in her eyes. "Big Brother, can we teleport? Please? I'm so excited! I wanna go fast!"

Seojun raised one brow. "Teleport, huh?"

Ahye nodded quickly, jumping in place. "Yes! Just once! Pretty please!"

John chuckled. "She's already making big requests."

Seoyang smiled. "Well, if it's Seojun, I trust him."

Seojun sighed lightly, then knelt down in front of Ahye. "Hold on tight."

Ahye cheered and grabbed his arm. In the next second, a soft blue light surrounded them—and they disappeared.

A soft light flashed inside a small, quiet alley near Ahye's school. It was a narrow alley with tall walls, hidden from the street. No one was around.

Seojun checked the area. When it was clear, he gently held Ahye's hand and led her toward the main road.

Soon, John and Seoyang also arrived from the other side, walking like a normal couple. Their appearance had already changed. John now had black hair, Seoyang's hair was light brown, and Ahye's brown hair matched them. They looked like an ordinary family.

Ahye looked at her family with a big smile. "Let's go!"

They walked together toward the school gate.

The school was big and colorful, with balloons and decorations hanging around. Many kids and parents were already there. Some children were crying, others were holding tight to their parents, and some were excited like Ahye.

Ahye held her small backpack tightly, her brown hair bouncing as she walked.

"Wow…" she whispered. "There's so many people."

Seojun looked at her. "Are you nervous?"

Ahye shook her head. "A little. But I'm happy."

John smiled and patted her back. "That's my girl."

As they reached the gate, a teacher with a kind smile greeted them.

"Good morning! Welcome to Sunflower Elementary!"

Ahye bowed politely. "Good morning!"

The teacher crouched down to Ahye's level. "What's your name, sweetie?"

Ahye looked at Seoyang, who gave her a little nod. Then she answered clearly:

"Han Jana Hye!"

The teacher smiled brightly. "Such a pretty name. And your parents?"

Seoyang smiled gently. "Han Seoyang. This is my husband, Han Junseo."

John nodded with a polite smile. Then the teacher looked at Seojun.

"And him?"

Ahye quickly held Seojun's hand and said proudly, "He's my big brother!"

"Oh, I see," the teacher laughed softly. "Nice to meet you, big brother."

Seojun gave a small smile and nodded.

"You're in Class 1-B," the teacher said. "Come with me, Jana. Mr and Mrs. Han we'll take are of your daughter." She bowed Seoyang and john did the same thanking her.

Ahye looked back at her family as they walked away and waved. "I'll do my best!"

"Go make lots of friends," Seoyang said softly.

John gave her a thumbs-up, and Seojun gently squeezed her hand before letting go. Ahye followed the teacher, her steps light and cheerful.

After watching Ahye enter the school building, Seojun stood quietly near the gate.

[I hope Ms. Ahye listened to you, Host.]

Seojun answered, 'She promised me. She'll keep it. She won't use her abilities.'

He looked toward the school where Ahye disappeared into the hallway.'If news about a five-year-old awakened spreads, that would destroy Ahye's peaceful life… and she doesn't want that.'

Seojun look at his Mom. Her eyes were on the school building, filled with gentle worry.

"I wonder if Ahye will enjoy this place…" she said softly.

John, standing on her other side, gave a short laugh. "Of course. Why not?"

He looked at Seoyang with a small smile."All her friends in the US were awakened. But here, she can be with kids just like her. This is the right thing."

Seoyang nodded slowly, though she still looked a bit emotional. "She's never had a normal life."

"She will now, Mom" Seojun said.

After making sure Ahye was safely inside her classroom, the three of them turned away from the school gate.

As they walked through the quiet street, Seoyang looked at Seojun and gently spoke, "We have to go back to the U.S. now."

Seojun nodded, then offered, "I'll teleport you both."

Seoyang smiled. "Thanks. We were actually planning to ask you for that."

Seojun gave a small smile and said, "Don't hesitate to ask me, Mom. You can rely on me."

Seoyang's eyes softened as she touched his arm gently, feeling proud. She didn't say much, but her expression said everything.

John, however, stayed silent the whole time.

A few seconds later, Seojun raised his hand, and with a blink of light, the three disappeared.

They arrived in the backyard of their home in the U.S. The garden was quiet, birds chirping lightly.

Seojun gave them a small wave and disappeared again.

After he was gone, Seoyang gently grabbed John's hand. "What's wrong, hon?"

John sighed deeply and looked at the place where Seojun had stood.

"He's getting along with his siblings… but I think he still hasn't fully accepted me."

Seoyang stayed quiet, letting him speak.

"He grew up thinking his father left him. That kind of wound doesn't heal easily."

He looked down and added in a soft voice, "He still doesn't call me Dad."

Seoyang squeezed his hand gently. "But you're here now. Let's keep trying. One day, he'll open up completely."

John nodded slowly, holding her hand tighter.

Seojun appeared back at their house in Korea. The sunlight gently lit the quiet living room. As soon as he arrived, Huno and Nymira, both sitting neatly near the door, looked up and greeted him.

"Good job," Seojun said with a small smile. "I'll be away for a while. I trust you to take care of the house and my family."

Huno stood up and bowed. "Yes, Master. Leave it to us." Silla clones are with them and will alert us if something happen."

Nymira nodded gracefully. "We will protect them."

Outside in the yard, Nemean lay stretched out under the sun, enjoying the warmth. He didn't move or greet Seojun.

Seojun glanced at him and shook his head. "Lazy."

He walked to the back of the house, raised his hand, and vanished once again. This time, he reappeared on the rooftop of a tall building, standing alone with the wind blowing around him. The city below was alive and busy, but up here it was quiet.

He raised his hand. A crack in the air appeared in front of him—dark, swirling with mist and shadows.

It was the door to the Abyss.

Without hesitation, Seojun stepped forward and entered. The door closed behind him.
