339 Return 1 (1/2)

”Your Majesty. We have arrived.”

As the pilot of the chopper said, the area seemed familiar. It was back to the place where it all began.

'Back to this place again.'

This place was the beginning of everything for Joonbum.

'Time flew so fast.'

Joonbum thought. He was now 44 years old. It was twenty years of hard and fast days. Lots of things had happened in those years. He took his mother over the Gate and survived in the wilderness with help of the Guardians and the Ainos. Joonbum then became the leader of an estate, and began to grow in power. He also saved starving people through cultivating crops. People began to worship Joonbum as a savior, and a war started against the Empire and Religion. Joonbum eradicated all those corrupted groups with the people of the world on his back. Soon, he became the emperor of Khalodian.

”Hah.”

Joonbum remembered the old days when he was busily working day and night to earn money to survive day by day. Joonbum then looked over at the region.

'Is what happened to the Earth a disaster?'

He came to an idea. The drastic change that came down upon the Earth was maybe foretold. Earth had gone through many changes in its lifespan and many life forms had met their demise in each of its changes.

'Maybe it's the same thing again.'

Maybe it wasn't a coincidence that many life forms began to appear after the change. Joonbum was filled with thoughts as a helicopter began to land. Joonbum got out of the helicopter and saw many people around.

Thousands of Khalodian armies silently stood. In the sky, dragons began to fly down. Civilians seemed to be shocked and excited by the majestic sight. Dragons were terrifying beings, but all people knew that dragons were friendly beings now.

Joonbum then got up to the stage and stood in front of a microphone. People began to fall silent as they all eagerly watched Joonbum.
