[Today I cried again watching Egoistic’s videos… am I depressed?]

[But really I’m sure if it’s Mango he will come back I’m sure of it]

[Bring back the real hero Mango damn it]

[Reason why Mango fanatics are not following Egoistic to death) Because someday Mango will come back. …So, come back. I’m so tired]

…While the people of the Republic of Korea still cannot forget him and are still making a fuss believing he will come back someday.

The world was somehow moving on without him.

Those who were once close to Egoistic also re-entered society and calmly resumed their activities. Since they were heroes who saved the world with Egoistic, they operated amidst immense attention and influence. However, aside from official occasions, they all kept a low profile, though this didn’t become a major issue since the atmosphere was understanding, attributing their behavior to the great shock of losing a close person. No one knew why they prevented a funeral for Egoistic.

And so,

They,

…unexpectedly,

were all gathered in one place, doing something.

…something that mattered most to them, disregarding everything else.

“Soeun, how did it go?”

“…Ah, Haru Unnie.”

The basement of the Ego Stream mansion.

A gigantic machine situated in the middle of it.

Vvvvvvvvvv-

This device, with a visual so grand it seemed to touch the ceiling of the massive underground space, as if from a science fiction movie, was famously called the Quantum-Spacetime Continuum Observation and Destruction Device. It was the invention of the century, developed tirelessly by Han Soeun over the last three months.

Indeed.

A device created by Han Soeun for Egoistic’s resurrection plan.

Standing in front of it,

with a small smile, looking tired from sleepless nights, she turned and sipped the coffee handed to her by Stardus.

“Thank you.”

Quietly sipping coffee next to Soeun,

Stardus walked calmly toward the others standing nearby.

“Haru’s here?”

“Haa. We’re starting now…”

“Hmm. I worry whether it will succeed.”

“…Stardus.”

Ee Soobin, Seo Jaa Yeong, Shin Ryeong, Choi Se Hee, Ee Seol Ah, Celeste, etc… all of them were gathered beyond the glass window.

And they welcomed Haru, who had just arrived, with small smiles.

To them, Stardus also nodded her head and entered naturally.

Over the past three months…

With the single determination to bring back Egoistic, the past three months where everyone came together,

was enough to bring Stardus and Celeste, the members of Ego Stream, closer, despite their previous conflicts.

Everyone shared the same pain and cooperated towards the same goal.

Especially in the absence of Egoistic, from the start, they had no choice but to rely on each other.

…Even though they were once in conflict. Having lived together with the determination to bring back Egoistic, having endless conversations as they got to know each other better, they naturally became closer.

‘Stardus… No, Haru Unnie too. She was actually a kind person…’

From the start, ultimately, Stardus, Shin Haru, lived with the sole intention of saving people, a true virtuous person.

The others were also essentially kind-hearted. After a few weeks, some misunderstandings between them were somewhat resolved.

…Every night, they gathered, sobbed, and shared each other’s stories.

‘…I, was actually Dain’s lover.’

‘…..What did you say?’

Of course, when Stardus confessed that she was in a romantic relationship with Egoistic, some turmoil did ensue… but no intense reactions occurred. Regardless, what mattered now was not the stories from Egoistic’s living days, but bringing him back to life.

Thus, for 3 months, they did a lot.

To establish a concrete plan to resurrect Egoistic.

‘So, how about the physical body…’

‘That doesn’t seem right. If you look at what Dain wrote, originally if time is reversed, even the Sun God…’

‘I found an ancient book, and if you look here…’

Through endless meetings, how they could resurrect Egoistic was discussed hundreds of times.

‘…This should do it.’

Finally,

they found a way.

A plan with the highest possibility to bring back Egoistic.

And the first step of that plan,

was to meet the Moon God and ask him to open the way to the afterlife.

And finally, the preparation to do so was complete.

“Eunwol, are you ready?”

“Hoo… Yes.”

Once more,

in front of the Quantum-Spacetime machine where everyone gathered,

beyond the glass window where the others, including Stardus, stood, on the floor in front of the machine was a large magic circle.

And there,

dressed in a white shaman outfit, with her black hair hanging down, Baek Eunwol sat with her eyes closed.

The purpose of this magic circle was to go to the space where the Moon God resides.

…To make this, they had to gather knowledge and tools in every possible way, referring to what Egoistic had left behind.

The magic circle was very complex, and a material called moonstone had to be processed, plus the information was insufficient.

However, under the leadership of Eunwol, the Moon Priestess, they managed to create this magic circle to meet the god.

…And the one to meet the god was, of course, decided to be Baek Eunwol.

After all, she was the true incarnation of the Moon God, sent down from the heavens for humans a long time ago.

…After she was sealed following the war between the Sun God and the Star God, she was unsealed by the Moonlight Sect Leader after a long time had passed, having lost her memory.

In essence, Baek Eunwol had the highest possibility to persuade the Moon God.

[So, are you ready?]

“…Yes.”

[Starting.]

With that,

with the words of Soeun echoing through the speakers, the machine started operating.

Pshhhhh-

The magical power created by the quantum machine, being injected into the magic circle through the circuit, caused

a burst of purple light from the magic circle on the floor.

Then,

Ahhhhh

Eunwol felt her view flipping.

And then,

“…Where is this?”

When she opened her eyes again,

she found herself in a pure white space.

And at that moment,

“My daughter.”

She saw

…a man with long, black hair, dressed in white silk, standing in front of her.

Just like her, with red eyes and a familiar aura.

As he smiled bitterly towards her, she could recognize him.

…Baek Eun-Wol opened her mouth quietly to him.

“Father.”

The god of the moon and his daughter.

Their meeting was a moment that occurred once again after thousands of years.

***

Upon meeting the god of the moon,

…Baek Eun-Wol shared stories with him that they hadn’t been able to exchange in a while.

Then, she went straight

to the point.

Thus,

“Why can’t it be done…!”

“Daughter. That method is too risky.”

Currently,

Baek Eun-Wol was challenging her god with teary eyes.

Observing her with sorrowful eyes, the god of the moon continued to speak calmly.

“…To begin with, even I don’t know the current state of the afterlife. I cannot assure whether the souls there are intact. Especially with so many souls there, how do you plan to find him? Furthermore…”

Saying this, the god of the moon sighed, leaning back.

“…Dain. Being a soul from another world, I cannot confirm whether he is there or not. Under these circumstances, I cannot tell you how to go to the afterlife, where a wrong move could trap you forever. I am sorry.”

“…Dad.”

At his words,

Baek Eun-Wol, with tear-filled eyes, pressed her father.

“So, you’re saying to give up like this? Dad. Do you know how hard it was for me? When I was captured by that strange cult, being used like a puppet while losing all my memories, ordered to kill people. Do you know how hard it was?”

“…”

“I wanted to die then. I didn’t want to live anymore! But… but, what were you doing then, Dad? You didn’t help me. You just watched.”

“…..”

“Then… do you know who helped me then? It was him. Thanks to Dain oppa, I could escape and live. I don’t blame you, Dad. However… however, people can’t just do that. Having only received favors and then seeing Dain oppa suffer like this. I can’t do nothing.”

“…..”

“Dad, please. Okay?”

Thus,

Baek Eun-Wol pleaded with her father through tears,

and finally,

“…Sigh. Fine.”

She got the answer she wanted.

“I will tell you, how to go there. But, be cautious…”

***

Back again, in the basement of the Ego Stream mansion.

Those who were anxiously waiting for Baek Eun-Wol, who vanished with the glowing magic circle,

hurried towards her as she returned with a bright light reactivating the magic circle.

“What happened…?”

And, answering those cautiously asked words,

Baek Eun-Wol, who was sitting with closed eyes,

calmly stood up, opened her eyes,

…and for the first time since Ego Stick’s death, she spoke with a smile.

“I found out.”

Thus,

their operation to revive Ego Stick moved a step closer to success.
