Awakened as a Superman

{ Ultimate Superman 25 }

Near the secluded sea.

A van approached and stopped.

Lying on the back seat is Han Xuen, wrapped in bandages and drenched in ringers.

Hanwi came out with the door open.

he looked at the sea

He’s a younger brother that doesn’t seem to last long.

I feel like I’m going to stop breathing soon.

He knew how to save Xuen.

‘Hanwol.’

That’s how he and his brother left.

Although there was no face to hear from him, it was an open call.

I wondered if I would get an answer, but the reply came right away.

This is the place Do-gwang told me about.

As soon as I gave Xuen first aid, I ran to the nearest shore.

‘Shall we come by stealth boat? Or with a wig?’

The dark sea that catches the eye.

Will Hanwol come directly?

If it’s me… doesn’t seem to come

Even if I personally visit and ask for it again and again, I never know if he will be willing to help.

So, if he had to move to where he was…

Can Xuen survive by then?

A younger brother who might just die on the way.

My heart just burns in my nervous heart.

Hanwi stared at the sea, where there was nothing in sight.

at that time

thick chin

Feeling suddenly sensed by Hanwi.

Truly a microscopic scale.

Something landed next to it.

that fell from the sky.

“Bert?”

Hanwi turned his head.

And the face caught in his sight.

“stomach.”

It wasn’t Bertrand.

Voice coming out of the mouth.

“Han month… … .”

Hanwi looked at him blankly.

‘why… … .’

Have you just gotten stronger?

Yuhan-wol hurriedly cut off Han-wi’s speech, which was about to open his mouth.

“I heard a little bit about it. Is your brother in critical condition? Do the important things first.”

Han Xuen lying in the backseat of the car.

If it were a normal person, it would have been enough to have already stopped breathing several times.

A bright light from inside the car.

Han-wi hurriedly looked at his brother.

his face blushing.

Stable breath sounds.

The wound disappeared as if it had ever existed.

Yuhan-wol looked at Han-wi, who looked back with shimmering eyes, with a happy face.

“stomach. Long time no see. take care?”

Two people shaking hands.

The words in a silent tone flowed out slowly at one tempo, breaking through the blockage.

“Thank you very much. one month.”

“Thank you.”

His words even flowed out.

“Don’t worry.”

* * *

Zhuu-chang was standing in the midst of the busy passers-by on the road.

‘What are you doing?’

Is it all over?

I have so much time, I don’t know what to do.

I came out to play a bit…

There’s nothing very fun about it.

I’ve tried this and that, but the more I do it, the sooner I lose interest.

‘Hmm… … .’

Then something suddenly caught my eye.

He followed behind a young woman.

she looks back

But what you can see is an empty space with nothing.

turn your head again

Zhou Chang’s gaze reached over her back.

The article was posted on the tablet in his hand.

‘It’s an extreme environment… … .’

Places on Earth where it is difficult for almost all living things to survive.

If you study the creatures there, you can go to space.

‘Hmm, I have nothing else to do… Shall we go sightseeing?’

It seemed that my abilities could go further if I went to such extreme environments.

‘okay. then… Where do you go first?’

Read at readwn.com

Volcanic area.

A lake with more than ten times the salt concentration of the sea.

It is the coldest place on earth, freezing to the lungs.

Areas heavily contaminated with radiation.

Deep sea.

.

.

Zhou Chang has decided on his next itinerary.

‘Shall we go to the sea first?’

Zhuu-chang has reserved a self-driving boat.

I had to go alone.

Without scuba gear, you’ll go barefoot, and even go beyond your limits.

There is one plausible phrase you see when you visit a boat rental facility.

[Two-thirds of the Earth is the ocean, and most of it is uncharted territory. Is there no reason not to dive?]

‘Big… Isn’t that cool?’

I like it.

It’s an unknown area…

It feels like something is pounding for a long time.

“It’s not difficult. If you mark the coordinates on the electronic chart, the boat will navigate itself. It’s exciting at first, but if you’re going far, you’ll get bored later, right? Take some books to read on the way to and from the berth.”

‘It’s a book… … .’

The image drawn in the head at this moment is of Westerners enjoying their vacations while lying on a sunbed and reading a book.

Joo-chang approached the bookshelf on the other side, following the gaze of the other person, thinking that it would be okay.

His gaze stopped at one place as he scanned the stacked books.

‘Nietzsche.’

Ubermensch Project.

Bruce, what did he see in Nietzsche’s philosophy?

Zhou Chang’s hand quietly reached forward.

with a plop

It’s crazy.

Ju-chang jumped into the sea.

The body adapts to the aquatic environment.

He moves quickly and goes down.

The pressure is getting louder.

The water temperature is as cold as ice.

how far down

I came in on a bright day…

Now he is in pitch-black darkness.

Darker than the universe, the deep sea.

unknown territory.

The space of the abyss (深淵, Abyss) surrounding the self.

Suddenly, a passage from a book I read a while ago comes to mind.

[He who fights monsters must be careful not to turn himself into a monster.]

Past days passing through my mind.

countless crises.

They all looked like monsters.

And finally, I met Bruce.

‘… … .’

He must have read this verse too.

What happened to him in the end?

[If you look into the abyss for a long time, the abyss will also look into you.]

Zhou Chang looked around.

This endless space.

I feel like I am the only one who exists.

The self that seems to be revealed in front of this space.

An inner space where fear and serenity coexist.

he closed his eyes

* * *

passing years.

A space with bright light.

Two people looking at each other and eating as usual.

She suddenly opened her mouth.

“me… … .”

He who looks at her like that.

“We have a child.”

eyes wide open

A moment of surprise, joy, and happiness all at once.

Yuhan Wol raised his voice.

“Dana!”

A voice full of joy.

Looking at him like that, Lee Dan-ah smiles brightly.

love of two people.

Something like that came to fruition.

Aiden’s face changed seriously at the news.

Again, a serious Yoo Je-wol.

It is the first life born through the union of superhumans.

I’m still in the boat…

unknown thing.

What kind of being will be born?

See only good things, hear only good things, eat good things, and think only good things.

A heretic who works hard to have a good influence on the fetus.

Yuhan-wol puts his hands on her stomach and prays earnestly.

And finally, a life born in everyone’s longing and blessing.

A very bright and clear baby came out into the world.

Although it is the yard that has already confirmed the appearance of the fetus in the womb,

Yuhan Wol hastily looks at the exterior first.

Eyes, nose, mouth, ears… Five fingers, five toes…

A breath of relief comes out of nowhere.

The same goes for the families who were drowsy in their hearts.

Aiden sighed and said.

Like that lightened heart, there was a voice that had some depressing.

“People who say they have evolved have gathered and are looking forward to coming back to normal and liking it as they come out… So, is it that evolved beings are abnormal?”

However, it is the deep echo of Yang Gwang that is receiving deong.

“Don’t you know the story of the baby swan? If you are completely different from other children, you will not be able to get along well and grow up alone. To grow up normally and happily is what all parents want.”

“A man who has never been married, let alone a relationship, lives.”

“Heng! I am better than Aza-san.”

A baby who grows well in everyone’s love.

They are two people who can’t take their eyes off of them even for a moment in case they get hurt.

After a hundred days or so, the character begins to come to life.

She looks very pretty because she resembles her mother.

“I’m really glad it doesn’t look like me. ha ha ha!”

Everyone said to Yuhan-wol that he was very good at it.

Still, it’s just a good way to die.

However, Yuhan Wol’s words were not in vain.

I’m sure you’ll look much better if you resemble your mother.

Aiden and Yang Gwang looking at the baby.

Somebody thinks it’s not a mother’s child, so she’s full of charm.

“Ability?”

“yes. I am sure.”

Two people fighting to hug each other.

But the good times didn’t last long.

After a while, the baby begins to hide his face.

When someone other than Mom or Dad approaches, she often bursts into tears.

But there were exceptions.

“Heh heh heh heh!”

The quiet laughter of Yu Ja-gun resounded.

“You, you have the ability to use something like this!?”

“haha… But what powers did I use? Just recognizing my grandfather. oo.

one night

Two people looking at the sleeping baby from above.

Lee Dan-ah whispered to Yuhan-wol.

“I don’t think my child is unusual… … .”

That’s what the mother who watched the baby the most said.

something that can never be heard in vain.

Yuhan Wol asked with a serious face.

“Why why? What’s going on?”

“Probably… I think my abilities have been passed on. How charming.”

The gazes of the two gathered together.

The baby, who had fallen asleep, suddenly smiled softly.

In an instant, it felt as if the whole world had turned into a flower garden.

“Well… certainly… This is no ordinary ability… … .”

The two looked at each other and smiled quietly.

Yuhan-wol and Lee Dan-ah, who were born normally, but raised their children, carefully watching to see if something could happen.

Did that longing heart reach the sky?

It was a baby growing up without problems.

Now that some time has passed, it’s time to take them out.

“Shall we go on a picnic after a long time?”

They went to the park on a weekday when it wouldn’t be crowded.

The weather was sunny and the wind blew lightly and it was cool.

wide park.

Avoiding crowded places, spread out on the grass across the lake.

Yuhan-wol looks at Lee Dan-ah.

the meaning of that gaze.

“Are you okay? I don’t feel anything special.”

As long as she confirms, you can rest assured.

Is it because of the maternal love to protect the baby?

It was a heretic with stronger abilities.

The carefully prepared lunch box was generously spread out.

They enjoy picnics.

“Oh?”

However, animals approach the baby.

Tiny sparrows may come and sit on the baby, but other animals simply crowd around them at a distance.

I came here because I liked it so much, I felt like the baby was too fragile to come closer and touch me.

It was as if they were trying to protect the baby by keeping their distance around them.

Then on the other side of the lake.

A child who looked like an elementary school student was running and playing alone.

The ball was kicked up and rolled into the lake.

I look around in embarrassment, but no one is paying attention.

A child who stretches out his hands on the deck to retrieve the ball by himself.

Your fingertips quiver as they touch the ball.

A child who lost his balance while trying to reach out more.

uh… uh…

It just falls down the deck.

The moment you are about to fall into the lake.

The body rises naturally and rises above the deck where it was originally located.

And the thing that floated and sank in the hands of the dumbfounded child was a ball that had been dropped into the water.

Yuhan-wol and his party, who were watching it, all turned their heads to one side as if they had made a promise.

in everyone’s eyes.

The baby smiled brightly.

– Bell –

{ Epilogue }

Yujewol in the laboratory.

“Hmm… Odhalaf knows a little bit now… … .”

That is the only achievement of Aiden.

Can it be considered that you have accomplished something simply with a copy?

It’s called Cheongchuleoram (靑出於藍).

Shouldn’t the Master’s teachings be further developed?

A new research topic that Yoo Je-wol has recently been interested in.

Maybe I should devote my whole life to this.

So, it is a matter to be considered and decided.

‘… … .’

Looking back, it is clear that it is a good research topic.

for mankind.

And what was connected with Aiden’s research.

‘I should discuss it.’

Yoo Je-wol visited him.

“Aiden!”

* * *

Yang Yang-gwang is on his way home.

I had work in the afternoon, so I stopped by in the morning and went out to eat lunch together.

You will hear it from time to time.

I sat in the driver’s seat and pulled out my phone.

Look at the picture you just took.

‘Oh, you’re pretty.’

A smile that rises out of nowhere.

Yuhan-wol and Lee Dan-ah’s baby is so pretty.

It’s hard, but when you play together, you don’t know how much time is passing.

Then a sudden thought.

Were my parents like this when I was a baby?

‘… … .’

It’s been a while since I haven’t seen you.

‘Shall I contact you?’

wi-ying

Then, the phone rings.

Yang Yang-gwang raised his phone.

“Uh, Jewol.”

* * *

A sudden smell.

“I think I did!”

“I did!”

Yuhan Wol carefully carries the baby and heads to the bathroom.

Edan-ah who cleans up the ripped diaper.

“Mom! I need to make baby food!”

“I’m washing the dishes and sterilizing the baby bottles now! Do you have to pamper your old mother like this?”

wi-ying

I hear the phone ringing in the corner.

But two people who don’t care about him.

“It’s all cleaned up! Apply lotion… … .”

“The diaper is here!”

“uh? Rest!”

* * *

galloping boat.

Pleasantly waving hair.

Ju-chang looked at the surface of the water shining brightly in the sunlight.

‘Only the sea keeps coming.’

It was that good.

When you go down to the deep sea, you feel something healed.

A sense of self-growth.

I become infinitely smaller in front of the great nature.

A space where limitations are clearly recognized.

‘Shall we go down further today?’

Zhou Chang who was about to jump into the sea.

He put the phone aside as if he had forgotten.

Because if you carry it in, it won’t be able to withstand the pressure of the deep sea.

with a plop

After a while

wi-ying

On the boat where there was no one there, the phone rang.

* * *

“Uncle King. Because you can close the door. However, all the guests will come.”

“stomach! Store hours are a promise with customers.”

“No, then when will you go to play? Aren’t you supposed to travel a bit too? Are you going to keep living in this store until the day you die?”

Having a light accompaniment with lunch is a long-running situation.

It looked like he was getting drunk to some extent.

And the voice naturally rises.

Hanwi looked to the side and threw out a frustrated voice.

A shop with no customers after all.

“Sheen! Bring one more bottle when you come.”

“Bring out two bottles of steam!”

Han Xuen comes to prepare snacks and takes a bottle of wine from the refrigerator without saying a word.

wi-ying

‘yes?’

He picked up the ringing phone.

“brother! What did you come?”

* * *

Dark Bar.

Bertrand stepped inside.

A man followed after him.

‘It’s quiet.’

Music softly flowing in dim lighting.

Bertrand moves familiarly as if he had come.

He took a seat at the counter facing the bartender.

Pretty late, approaching midnight.

They are the only customers at a time when it should be crowded.

Is that so?

The bartender seemed to have been away for a while.

Andrés opens her mouth as she looks around the store.

“I always go to pubs, but coming here is different again.”

When we were together at SEAL, Bertrand and I always went to pubs.

So, after that, I only went to the pub as a habit.

The last time I met him was also at a pub.

Bertrand, who had been nodding his head, turned to look at the popularity that had emerged from the other side.

“Bert, are you here?”

Bartender approaching with a few bottles.

‘… … ?’

Andres stared at him like that.

The bartender… familiar with

continuous voice.

“How have you been? Andres?”

Only then will you be sure of your own thoughts.

“Sir! How are you here?”

Laughing commander.

He turns to Bertrand and says.

“Look at this. ’cause I’m not interested I don’t even know when I was discharged.”

Similarly, Bertrand smiles.

“That’s why I brought you.”

“What are you craving for today?”

“Give it to me.”

“whiskey?”

Bertrand nodded.

Andres looking at those two.

I’ve never seen Bert drink anything other than beer.

new look.

It seems like a lot has changed.

I feel it every time I see it.

“Andres, are you?”

“ah… So I’m the same… … .”

It looks like the bottles they brought with them were meant to greet guests.

He takes out his glasses and puts it on the bar and picks up the one he brought.

Bertrand was watching him silently.

Andres asked.

“You two… Did you know each other before?”

Then, the commander pours whiskey into the glass and opens his mouth.

“How would I have known you?”

Andres’ expression seemed to have felt something at that moment.

Bertrand spoke silently.

“While I am serving… I recommended you You are my ROTC senior.”

Was it like that…

When he said that he was going to be discharged from the military after following the woman he first met in a pub, he felt a great emptiness.

Maybe even to the point of feeling betrayed.

But even so, he cared so much about his subordinates.

As much as I ask for a special request.

Andrés stares at the commander who is offering a glass of whiskey cold.

So, when I went crazy on the battlefield, was that what enveloped me so much?

Burt asks for a special request?

And the result…

Punishment.

A failed career as a soldier.

and…

Are you running a bar like this after being discharged?

The commander said in a pleasant voice.

“If you want to enjoy it properly, you should drink it neat.”

A method that contains only whiskey at room temperature.

A dedicated glass with a narrow opening and a wide bottom curved in the shape of a tulip to effectively retain the fragrance.

“Come on, let’s toast.”

Then I saw three glasses.

Bertrand lifts the glass lightly at the commander’s words.

clink

A glass of wine that was picked up in a mess.

The strong feeling of whiskey passing through Andres’ esophagus.

‘nice!’

Bertrand said, savoring the incense.

“Good. Now I just have to go to the bar.”

The commander grinned as if he liked those words.

“This is a very precious thing, and since it was a special guest, I followed it a lot.”

Bertrand’s appearance as if something had changed.

Andres looked at him like that.

Looking at you now… I felt like I didn’t even have to listen.

“Bert, then that… Who is your wife?”

“Now is the time to let it go.”

Bertrand suddenly looks around the store.

Andres followed his gaze and looked back.

‘Still… I couldn’t forget.’

he thought

Maybe that’s why I went to a bar instead of a pub, I don’t know.

Is that so?

A question that followed naturally.

“Are you okay?”

“It did. Like a dream.”

was that much

then…

Even if he goes back, I can let him go.

Bertrand looked at the commander and said.

“Opening a bar in such a sparsely populated place seems to be good at war, but has no sense of social life.”

Andres nodded as if he completely agreed with that statement.

It’s been quite a while since they came in, but there aren’t any customers.

Doesn’t it feel like it’s going to collapse soon?

And then I’m so sorry.

A calm voice echoes in those thoughts.

“There was an official cause that it was for the country, but personally… It’s a bit of a shame to live in a bright place with a bright smile.”

“… … .”

Were the two people who kept their mouths concerned?

The commander then spewed out a bright voice.

“This is just right. It’s not like I have a blood clot to dry. and… If there’s no one there, wouldn’t it be a hideout? That way, your guys will be able to come here more often.”

Bertrand held out his glass.

“Give me another drink.”

Then the commander picks up another bottle of wine.

“Then, shall we go to Campbeltown this time?”

Wei Ying

Then the phone rang.

Bertrand picked up the ringing from the bar and confirmed it.

A pop-up message displayed on the screen.

App ＜Dogwangyanghoe＞.

‘… … ?’

and confirmed messages.

‘… … !!!’

drunken up

“Alchi. Andres. I have an urgent business to go to!”

Bertrand jumps out of his seat and gets up.

And two people looking at him as if it was unexpected.

I’ve seen it a few times recently, but this is the first time I’ve seen it like this.

“Is it urgent?”

“yes.”

“When will we see you next time?”

“Well. I don’t know how long it will last.”

Bertrand immediately jumped out.

A back alley with no people.

His black wings spread wide.

Bertrand soars into the sky with great speed.

The content that appeared on the screen shook his heart incessantly.

[Aiden disappeared.]
