Chapter 284: Park Sirin (1)
8gTYThe history of Earth changed radically because of a single person.N0GfJ
hE9juQPA history that would have been normal, without major variations, full of magic shows, surprising circus spectacles, yes, but without truly altering the course of the world.Gri3FXs
PdMMRSThe appearance of a god caused the change.E3YfRa0
KpyyuYA mage, called a god despite having a human body, transformed the world.rtP
Uas9zAjThe Demon God appeared three years after the Park Sihoo incident and founded her own empire.ZUDSm
zOjCE3Without a doubt, the Park Sihoo returned for a brief moment — then why was the Demon God secluded for three years?qQ53NCs
NXZC6“No… no, no, no. No… it shouldn’t be like this!!”hSQB
9QlrShe was searching for a method.nvNr
ESIVdlLOn the monitor screen that flickered as it shut off, she stared fixedly at a phrase that shouldn’t exist.ba8MI0
8RNOba8[Sub-player Corin Loch. Beginning succession.]GwveH4
P9BTo recover her lost world.gGj
MMJC0Because she couldn’t abandon her love, her obsession, or her delusion, she searched for a path for three years.Qlz
hqNjve7That he would make a game over and return like she did.rLnW
fHDOr, if that was impossible, that she herself could cross again.KSRc
Oa1YuTMThey say mages are sages who find truth through reason.49q1
1XAVIw0But in what she pursued, there was no reason, nor was she seeking truth.rNZ
tqkqcThey were emotions, sensitivity, stubbornness, and obsession.IvI8
WMKjWMXThree years.WWlJS
N7BdShe had to admit the conclusion.pM0oWXY
kZpRe4He will not game over.JLT
WwMIPOf course — that man walked the path of the hero even with that mediocre triple-technique and his spear style.LfOOu
Yt9Unlike her, who crushed with overwhelming force, he was a winner — someone born with the anomalous talent of always finding a path to victory.2Ot
Ypccy4A hero. That title fit him more than anyone.V945y
Me0Ld8vThen could she travel to that world?gP4XJH
P4tBi3She also reached an answer.5t8UXK
az3m5KAlone, she could not.THyV
J6RMagical research requires money and personnel.UaH
LJVSdAnd she had been a mage who researched magic for three years within Arhan Heroic Legend.izy7Ec
ZQLmtmUnlike the other Park Sihoo who only learned combat magic, she understood magic as a discipline, researched it, and had talent to create her own originals.QWi
7r3O9QGA true genius.vdrd9P
qU2arIShe believed she could prove her theory with the resources of the modern world.hbed4
aZk4ZBWhen she finally left her seclusion, the Earth was changing in strange ways.D6vs8
dc4fVexFirst, the Russian president had been replaced; they say that dictator’s head was split.cI5aqmp
qtnzThe border conflict between China and India ended basically in China’s defeat; apparently the president of India is some kind of “human Pikachu.”p9k2LwE
ILAP32Korea had changed more than expected.JhaX4h
bnxnIt was the country with the most returnees, and it was said that the U.S. and Europe paid fortunes to take some of them.gbe5
AXfdThere were many mages, so it was one of the few places where serious research was done.0q7n5LT
b2DdPerfect, exactly what was needed.5qt
xsryvPark Sirin concluded she could not complete the “dimensional portal theory” alone.kz96Kpt
s3EGLKorea had no shortage of money, and there were enough mages to form a research team.0N0x2eB
wmBYThe problem was whether Korea would act according to her will.w0T4jC4
yWvPrShe first evaluated the other Park Sihoo. The magic they used, their techniques, their level — she investigated extensively the possibility that there existed a Park Sihoo stronger than her.2HjyxW0
wutAnd then.haq2OJ
Jxsdp“Eh? I can just take the whole Earth like this?”wcVaDav
jpMShe reached an absurd conclusion.Svxjg
b89EsThey were weak.SDRP8su
magfEKMost were weaker than she imagined.RSl6
CmC“The grand majority can’t even surpass Marie Dunaleff and they make game over.”oUY
T0ieqHbFirst filter, Marie Dunaleff and the Mountain King.HF7i0v
Bvx0Second filter, Heavenly Raksha Hwaran.aI07ZMl
RjUowMost didn’t even surpass the first-year arc.ieqX
yEXNqgThose who passed the saint rescue, the subjugation of the Magic Tower, or the Harvest Festival of the second year were only a handful.WYo
QqApR“And among the Top 10, only three reached the battle against Tates?”UBh
1mAoKsAre they idiots?8WZPd7
4E5wWhy do they have such low levels?vXWd4e
WROMWhy didn’t they reach 99? What are those stats?6BYg1h2
00YIaShe thought for a moment and remembered the fundamental difference.zeEXc
U8yHLOThey didn’t have that man at their side.iPY
fJefFEven she, called Demon God, had at the beginning been an ordinary person.iMz
dk3HDvuShe had foreseen the entire story, obtained hidden pieces impossible to get early, and prepared perfectly for the fight against Marie.hIg
KrPp1Even so, she almost died.6Tqs
l2zBXAnd she didn’t die only because an extra risked his life to protect her.pFCNDhx
ay18B0T“Hu… Sihoo, can you hold on for three minutes?”AChqWaL
Dz3NIn the battle against Marie Dunaleff, against the Mountain King, and against Heavenly Raksha Hwaran,8NdV
2SbK“If I insist a little longer, I think I can find a way to win.”5Ug
GZu28He always found a path to victory, and for her, that gave the margin to reach her maximum potential.kwwb
gCduThat companion who bet everything for her gave her mental space, and that space strengthened her.KsEZDL
BeXx7cHer easy leveling was undoubtedly thanks to him.LWHI
YwJ“…Oppa.”hQCcv
ZRfeZLAfter remembering, she recalculated coldly.my80hei
IeAbppzKorea had many rankers, a good number of mages, and a stable economy.RCbpZD
3EYEThe problem was that, just like in the West, the Korean Park Sihoo didn’t consider overthrowing the country just because they had obtained power.aJI
LSJSThey wanted fame or attention, but not to start a coup.0Qo4
aAU‘If I want to take the country, I need support.’vMFlR7N
WmWa8The Demon God finished her calculations and descended directly onto North Korea.6QIlFp
Moh6MJBEven the 38th Parallel meant nothing to someone who dominated teleportation.mad
nhn“What… what is this?”WLSt
Cv293S“Who is this woman?”mod
9jKFZThe Demon God’s magic burst forth.Ef2p
yD5ZrokShe cast a protective spell on the pig and the witch she had once seen on TV, and petrified in space the 400 high-ranking officials gathered in the People’s Assembly.dPWx1
O3QSiIf she didn’t release them, they would lose their self and will forever, wandering in an eternal void.nD3xRZ5
M5hK“Hiiik!”oURI
04APetrifying hundreds didn’t even take three seconds.T8OrXGz
jqmwRsSeeing those two sisters fall to their knees before the scene, the Demon God even felt satisfaction.YEBCEZ
OAAY“I suppose I really am Korean.”YTY8
WL0TULShe never thought of herself as patriotic, but punishing the parasites who had always whined since her birth gave her a kind of justice and satisfaction.0qxM
saqxLiWShe then asked the two sisters.SeJoiob
7nfS“If you have hidden secret funds, tell me all of them.”MPJXA
eubnKySince they didn’t cooperate, she gave them a “spatial prison” where one second feels like ten years.QqOt
KmKJfThey confessed immediately.V6a
FbN3imAnd so, after a “legal” succession of the North Korean regime and the purge of the old government.05H
MUTFYAfter reunification and elections.4cLHIC
pDWAfter crushing China when it tried to pick a fight.lv7AjI
mj5QaiShe founded the Great Magic Empire of Korea.a7f8sDq
mlk5Av3Only then could she begin the development of the dimensional portal.I7f0J71
fLDPShe gathered the Park Sihoo of China and Korea and financed the project with the secret funds of the Chinese Communist Party.o5uBHCK
jgvZaQTThe corruption was so epic that fifteen years of national budget entered all at once.0I9b
TS6k9WShe even thought that the members of the Communist Party would need to live at least 500 years to spend all that.Ovy
W6cKpM4Meanwhile, Korea became the dominant power of Asia, rivaling the United States.PnIF
HIYMBut that was irrelevant to the Great President.EZlESg
4ysHN3t“This time I will succeed without fail.”zExz
aRHGlory, fame, power, wealth — everything on Earth was lighter than a single man in her heart.5rF
KyQI“Success! We have managed to develop the dimensional portal!”6nURf9E
lVRt“Congratulations, Madam President!”kGr6u
gwv9GSb“Long live the Great Magic Empire of Korea!”hwXJG
tJtC“Long live! Long live! Long live!”nWCFQq
88U2X6“Long live Great President Park Sirin!”dN7KcV
seSShe abandoned everything for love and headed to the other world.ZnA

3FukbThe dizziness won’t stop.33lLh
Qc08ChI feel faint and have no strength in my body.m8z
8eooJ0There are no side effects from having crossed the dimensional portal again. My body is still in the best condition.g5WYT
quLEven so, the shaking in my vision must be a mental problem.20GdF
HvGfTiUpon returning to Earth, Sirin found Kim Taeseop waiting in front of the dimensional portal.MMgLp
nNr1O“Eh? G–Great President?”BehX
xZ5A high mage of level 70. He was the administrator she had left in charge of the portal after leaving.q9KyY5
q2D“Keep this… a secret.”1XF
0dAByLOShe ignored him and left the base. She activated invisibility magic and went to a small island on the east coast, where her private refuge was.nNKoxP
y4T“Haa…”Evo
VXN4RThe entry to the other world had been a success.Q6m5ef
9blJust as she wanted, she saw oppa living peacefully in the timeline of cycle 100.kjDhJv7
yfEOyKRHe was still winning over women, which irritated her, but she managed to hypnotize him.lkvR5i
sZ6BHowever, her plan failed in the end, and after releasing him of her own will, she returned to Earth.wQ3dy
pgRRfhIf her place was not at his side, then no world held meaning.UsZ95sz
GqQ4She woke up in the bed of her refuge the next morning, without anyone knowing she had returned, and Sirin once again realized that the place beside her was empty.pyOwmSb
m1BNTg“Ah…”LmV
LpD9AhYIt was like having had a sweet dream for a week.8JGt9m
egTIThe love whispered to her every morning was fake, and the warmth of bodies touching had lasted only an instant.NUnewYc
wlgQS1bThe end of a love to which she had devoted half her life ended far too empty.5tz
tPT6m“It had to be this way…”kOzPh
sDR71From the beginning, she never had a chance.ZRYp
5LfRCThat man was so good he was foolish. How stupid must one be to engrave such an oath into his own body?trBTSD
RLaLA villain like her could never have stood beside him.0tq
sdjfiHe must have lived well.l3N
inDSNo, what is the point of such a stupid assumption?bkUN
ibNLBbeIt was she who lived the wrong life.CCINOk
DgbYShe was born crazy, so he would have abandoned her anyway.ClKoj1l
BkyQzCyTheir natures were incompatible, like water and oil.6di
r1YGgt“Ugh…”MiT6
0n2Even so, he kept appearing in her mind.vfE
KPQHLwThe voice full of love whispering in her ear, the affection brushing against her skin, the moments when he looked at her smiling.XgAcTA
tgvThe 21 years of Park Sirin’s life, the 3 years as a player, the 15 as the Demon God.SV8r7I
9GrAmong all of that life, that single week had been her happiest moment.vMp
gCuiAnd because it was a life she herself had let slip away, the regret and sadness returned even stronger.tXBfCS
IqnSIf she could return.jT2suJE
j2x6gyEIf she could start from the beginning.9tAAM
WLJsVShe would do anything for that man who hated her.1iAl0M
30yIf she could be by his side, even if they asked her to be a slave, she would accept it.DOB
E613But even as a Demon God, she could not turn back time, and she could never erase her past.5xpmR
o6wEKShe could only feel no regret knowing that, at the end of her life, the man she loved was still alive.Az7G
9VMMk3uThe mathematics student Park Sirin.aGgS5y
SUVe2tnThe player Park Sihoo, with her gender changed.AWG2x
EiwThe great president of the Magical Empire of Korea, the Demon God Park Sirin.RM2ajAa
18NncPNow all of them reached an ephemeral end.hRX7e
OxaVoHer life ended.TNK
6f7ykThe end of her fervent love.o478W
cEDkIt held enormous meaning for her.eRJKZK
LqVW***PsyvRr
TtVoK0Even if she considered her life to have ended, the basic activities to remain alive did not stop.nztG
PspnWhen she was hungry, she ate; when she was sleepy, she slept.zNpk
WaJk1cWearing herself down like that, going from sea to bed and from bed to sea.YMoXU
gE7tUz“…”IcS
PcNsNSirin chewed something she picked up from the rocky ground of the island.om7wr
iHNj4oSome kind of seaweed washed in by the waves.Ubie1l1
DZKgHer body, enhanced by enormous mana, did not age or die easily.eJek4G
tiQWIsEven if she ate things a human should not eat, she expelled the poison and converted it into pure energy.5NNVwQ
EYAaFShe told no one that she had returned.hPSHK
NarHer finished life withdrew from everything.1cakVB
6H8j7Neither power, nor wealth, nor pleasure had any meaning to her anymore.l7HA
4Sb9UJShe consumed only the calories needed to avoid dying and watched the waves with empty eyes.Sogvip7
gYVtA body that could not die and a soul that could not kill itself — a life reduced to the minimum.ZtVqI
0Fi6That end came after a few months.MuHOqJ
Cd4w87“Should I erase my consciousness?”0OkCZsQ
OIs85M8Even thinking was annoying.7I0zrx
MY2ljDBEven picking up food with her hand felt tedious.kM1t1s
wr0VeShe tried spending a month without eating or drinking.4boMDxS
suCZ8fOWhen she regained consciousness, her survival instinct had her face plunged into the sea.VRxxAX
GH1“Stupid… Seems I still want to live.”PB9M
zUHSBy merely crossing the sea, she could have wealth and people eager for her in absurd amounts.Vf3X
iN66GBut she rejected all of that and lived looking toward only one man.AVQOf
K5CAnd even after such a devastating failure, it seemed she still wanted to remain alive.zPoyC
GZA0OO4She searched for methods of mental suicide, since her body protected by mana could not die.P8wNzB
ZwF0vBIf she turned herself into a living corpse, she might stop thinking.MJfnwr
jawbYFor the first time in a long while, she went to Seoul.gger
Io2sK1MShe hid her face and bought what she needed.Wps8Wh
i2MObtaining magical items was not difficult.Nyu
f4G5The Magic Tower she had founded for the development of dimensional portals already produced enough tools without her involvement.CVwdE6C
ApbtOjqIn fifteen years, the country she had cultivated out of necessity had become a powerhouse whose main export was magical artifacts.veKo1ui
pYbxRg“Huu…”2YH
hXfAfter that trip to Seoul, she crafted the necessary items, deployed a powerful magic circle, and sealed even her own mana.KJIC2Z9
GXLXjvAll that remained was to prepare the neurotoxic poison that would destroy her brain. At that final step, Sirin suddenly remembered some tangerines.rXu
Cuv0q“I want to eat…”bEzaaM
hxUmHow long had it been since she last ate fruit?bsVgI
O7dSurprised by the sudden appetite, she bought a box of tangerines from a rural delivery truck.5hK
yrD8She didn’t eat them right away.iRtKR7W
GqTIShe submerged one whole in the toxic solvent she was preparing.Y3kvC
DSJWith that amount, maybe the reagent would have a tangerine flavor.dpjB
Kxd5D5kWhen she leaned in to smell it—JqUq
AogJh“Ugh…”79HmE
t8uA sudden wave of nausea. Even her cold mage’s mind grew cloudy before something so unexpected.8ze
3sYJQShe approached again.Yba
KZfbo“Ugh!?”rEXH
UK8AAgain the nausea. The discomfort. A reaction too typical to be mistaken.L8O7
D0Zgb“Ah…”chu
7Ana3She was pregnant.OZQgn
NnSt6tThe identity of the father did not even need to be mentioned.hiHyr
NxDShe had been pure her whole life. In her monotonous existence there had only ever been one man.CJwCSoS
40TB7The life of Park Sirin, the human, had ended. It should have ended.8tz
Un2DQBut the life of Park Sirin, the mother, was about to begin.FtB3
