The Main Characters That Only I Know

Chapter 235:

Yu-hyun glared at the golden paper in front of him.

This was it.

This was what gave Park Moonchul the miraculous power.

Yu-hyun reached out his hand towards the golden paper.

It obediently landed on his palm.

‘What is this…’

What was it?

Before Yu-hyun could react, the golden paper turned into countless particles of light and was absorbed into his body.

It happened so fast that he had no time to respond.

‘I see. I have a rough idea of what this is.’

This golden paper was related to his regression.

It was invisible to the Divine Spirits, and of course, the ordinary people didn’t even know it existed.

The numbers on the golden paper were many.

And the owners of these golden papers gained various powers.

In Yu-hyun’s case, he gained the power to see the history of others as ‘books’ along with his regression.

‘There must be different levels of these golden papers.’

Yu-hyun felt that the golden paper he obtained this time was much smaller and more insignificant than the one he had.

He didn’t learn it from anyone or see it for himself, but he naturally knew it as soon as he absorbed it.

‘Is this related to my regression? And in my previous life, there was no one like Park Moonchul who awakened such power. The flow of the world has changed. Because of me.’

Golden paper.

He didn’t know what it meant right now. But there was a high possibility that other people had obtained similar powers like Park Moonchul did.

‘No. There must be others. People who have awakened powers like Park Moonchul. In this changing world, new protrusions that didn’t exist before.’

Yu-hyun felt a strange clarity and a headache at the same time.

The emergence of new forces that he didn’t know of.

And this mysterious golden paper that was connected to his regression.

He didn’t know what it was, but Yu-hyun sensed that he was caught in a huge whirlpool of fate that he couldn’t handle from this moment on.

In the rough wind and waves, he had to go beyond the horizon of the vast sea that he didn’t know where it ended.

‘How interesting.’

If he collected these golden papers, he would get closer to the answer.

And there were more people who had these golden papers besides Park Moonchul.

And it was obvious that more would appear in the future.

‘The reason why I regressed.’

All kinds of events that had happened to him since his regression.

Maybe they were all caused by those who were drawn by these golden papers instinctively.

One thing for sure was that these golden papers were closely related to the truth of this world that he didn’t know.

Yu-hyun twisted his mouth into a smile behind his mask.

‘I’ll collect them all.’

The terrorist incident that happened at the academy was also swept under the rug.

What was important now was the purge of the Mental Realm after the second phantasm shock.

Of course, the media did not cover it, but in places where people did not know, the association was already cleaning up his cult along with the investigation of Park Moon-chul.

It was a very satisfying result for Yu-hyun.

‘Yura also got discharged safely, and I’ve finished dealing with the annoying people.’

The pseudo-religion that lost its core, the guru, had no choice but to collapse.

Of course, this country was not the only one with a pseudo-religion.

There were several others of similar scale in reality.

‘The others are relatively quiet, so they won’t make a fuss right now.’

Rather, if they came out and said they were right at this timing, Yu-hyun would have suspected them.

If they had a golden paper, they would surely reveal their activities in the near future.

He had one more thing to worry about.

It was not surprising for Yu-hyun anymore.

He rather needed to blame himself for being too loose until now.

The world was changing in the direction he wanted.

But he couldn’t let his guard down completely.

There were still dangers that hindered the future, and he could even say that there were more troubles than before.

‘Anyway, there’s no reason to stop.’

Yu-hyun thought so as he watched Nam Min-hyuk, who was eagerly answering the interview with the reporter on the TV screen.

The young man who bowed his head in fear when he first saw him had a spark in his eyes that he couldn’t see before, thanks to going through a tough situation.

People change. It was like that with Han Yong-woon, and it was like that with Nam Min-hyuk.

‘Well, shall we solve the next problem?’

Yu-hyun called out to someone who was secretly watching him.

“Ms. Jia.”

“…!!”

“I knew you were here all along. You have something to say, right?”

Kwon Jia, who was hiding and wondering whether to talk to him or not, finally approached Yu-hyun reluctantly.

Her expression was mixed with worry and apology.

“What happened? By the way, how did it go in Greece?”

“That’s why… I called you right away when I got there.”

“You did.”

“After I hung up, I tried to go back to Korea right away. I tried, but…”

Kwon Jia confessed what she had experienced there.

She had no choice but to fight because of the sudden rampage of the Mental Realm and the phantasmal creatures that pushed into the airport.

However, Kwon Jia did not get swept away by the flow of the fight.

She only drove away and cleaned up the phantasmal creatures near the entrance of the Mental Realm, and she did not forget what Yu-hyun said.

“The problem is this.”

“A silver coin?”

Yu-hyun confirmed what Kwon Jia took out and threw a look that asked what this silver coin was.

“This was originally the hidden piece I went to find.”

“This coin? It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you regaining your memory.”

“That’s what you would normally think. Anyway, I originally had to go inside the Mental Realm to get this, but something changed because of this rampage and it fell into my hand while I was cleaning up the phantasmal creatures. I didn’t expect it at all, but I got it.”

“So you were worried about it. You should have left it alone, but you got it suddenly and brought it because you couldn’t throw it away.”

Kwon Jia nodded her head as if she had no face.

Hmm. Yu-hyun stroked his chin for a moment and thought.

Then what should he do with this?

Yu-hyun first briefly explained to Kwon Jia why he told her to come back right away.

The memory that someone had, what kind of impact could it have on the mixed world?

Kwon Jia, who had heard the whole story, accepted it with a heavy expression.

“Indeed, if it’s the mixed world, then there’s a possibility. After all, we almost died by that Divine Spirit in a world that was made of Sumin’s memory.”

“That’s right. In the end, this world is influenced by people’s memories. I stopped you because of that reason. I can’t guarantee what will happen when you regain the memory that you have forgotten now.”

“But…”

Kwon Jia argued.

“If I regain my memory, I might be able to see things that I couldn’t see before.”

“Hmm.”

Yu-hyun pondered a bit at her unwavering words.

She was right.

She was right, but did she have to risk the danger and dig up her memory?

If it was his own personal matter, Yu-hyun would have taken some risk.

But, the memory he had to find was Kwon Jia’s. If something went wrong, in the end, the one who would be most affected was Kwon Jia.

“Let’s just take some time and think about it for now.”

Yu-hyun decided to postpone the answer for now. It wasn’t urgent right now, so it didn’t matter, did he imply?

But, Kwon Jia didn’t seem to be easily convinced.

“It’s better to get the information as soon as possible. That way, we can prepare for the future events. If we delay it day by day, do you know what will happen later?”

[I agree with Kwon Jia’s words.]

Baekryeon also agreed with Kwon Jia’s words. To prevent the events that would happen later for sure, he couldn’t overlook even the trivial things.

Yu-hyun also admitted that part. He was curious about the memory she had lost too.

“Then let’s do this. Give me three days. That’s okay, right? I’m not saying this because of my greed. I’m worried about you too.”

He said he was worried about her with a serious tone, and Kwon Jia bit her lips and blushed.

“If that’s the case… well.”

“Is that okay?”

“Three days… fine.”

“Then that’s settled.”

Yu-hyun said that and got up from his seat with a satisfied look.

Kwon Jia looked up at him vaguely.

“Where are you going?”

“The association asked for support. They said they need to clear one Mental Realm. They said a new one appeared recently.”

He didn’t tell the others, but the association had sent him a kind of help call.

The reason was one.

They wanted him to help clear the Mental Realm that had appeared recently.

And he also heard what kind of place it was, and how peculiar it was.

“Only one person can enter. And it’s not easy to clear it just by being strong. Dozens of people have failed already, and giants pop out from inside the Mental Realm and sweep around.”

“You’re going there now?”

“It’s just a sightseeing.”

He said it too confidently, so Yu-hyun decided to correct himself a bit.

“Probably.”

**

When he arrived at the entrance of the Mental Realm, Yu Seong-ah greeted him.

Yu-hyun smiled warmly and greeted her back.

“It’s been a long time. Miss Yoo Sung-ah.”

“…Ah, yes. It has been a long time.”

“Huh? You look less energetic than usual.”

As Yu-hyun said, Yoo Sung-ah had lost her usual volcanic and explosive momentum, and now she looked deflated.

Yoo Sung-ah sighed and sat on a pile of equipment boxes that were conveniently stacked, in response to Yu-hyun’s words.

“I failed.”

“Who did? You, Miss Yoo Sung-ah?”

“Who else would it be? Sigh. I thought I was confident, but I guess not.”

Yoo Sung-ah’s level of strength, which had been renewed by the change, was a whopping 68.

She was practically at the top level among the mid-level collectors.

And she had failed.

She was not the only one who failed.

There were already nearly 10 other collectors who couldn’t let go of their regrets and were lingering at the entrance.

They were all people with levels over 50.

Some felt sorry, some felt annoyed, and some felt angry.

Their reactions varied, but it was obvious that they had all failed to clear the Mental Realm.

“I got a call from the association and came here, but what happened here?”

Yoo Sung-ah hesitated a bit and then told them that they had all failed. But to Yu-hyun, it seemed very strange.

Even if he accepted the fact that only one person could enter this Mental Realm as a peculiarity, it was illogical that none of the failed people died and returned safely.

Yoo Sung-ah grumbled as she heard his words.

“That’s because it was so peaceful inside. Except for that damned old man.”

“Damned old man?”

“You’ll see when you go in. I’m so angry just thinking about it. Go get a briefing from the agents first. I wrote everything down there. I need a break.”

“That’s right. It was nice to see you.”

Leaving Yoo Sung-ah behind, Yu-hyun entered the briefing barracks and finally learned what kind of place this Mental Realm was.

And why everyone outside had failed.

As he turned over each page of the data, Yu-hyun’s eyes sparkled.

‘This.’

Yu-hyun smiled slightly, as if he was a bit embarrassed, but also couldn’t hide his joy.

‘I knew I had to come here from the beginning, but this is more fun than I thought.’

Yu-hyun’s coming to this Mental Realm was not a coincidence.

When he saw the future with Laplace’s power a while ago, he obtained various information, and this Mental Realm was one of them.

He didn’t know what was inside. But he was sure that something very important was hidden inside this Mental Realm, and if he didn’t clear it and left it alone, the surrounding area would be literally blown to pieces.

Clearing this place was essential for him to become stronger, and curiosity added to such a sense of duty was never a bad thing.

Yu-hyun immediately left the barracks and approached the entrance of the Mental Realm.

“Huh? That guy…”

“Don’t tell me, he came here to clear this place too?”

“Hurry up and go. No matter how great he is as a teller, no one can break that.”

Most collectors recognized Yu-hyun and shook their heads in disbelief.

However, some tellers who had contracts with them started to get nervous at his appearance.

He didn’t know anything else, but Yu-hyun had cleared several worlds of ideas that were thought to be impossible so far.

He had the power to make miracles happen, so they were worried that he might somehow clear this one too.

‘Well then, shall we go?’

Yu-hyun received their expectations and entered the Mental Realm.

At the same time, the library opened and viewers flocked in.

“Hmm. Where is this?”

The changed scenery was a wide and green meadow.

The sky was clear and high, and the sun was dazzling.

The wind that blew was warm as it caressed his skin, and the smell of grass and soil tickled his nose with vitality.

Yu-hyun sat leaning against a tree in the center of the meadow.

He checked his clothes.

As soon as he entered this place, some kind of power applied and changed his clothes to those of a medieval traveler.

‘My clothes have changed. A role has been assigned to me.’

As soon as he got up to check his surroundings, a shadow fell over him.

“Sancha! What are you doing here?”

Heeheeheeheeng.

Along with the sound of a horse’s neighing came a loud voice from an old man.

When he turned his head, there was a knight there.

An old knight with white beard and hair.

A full plate mail that covered his whole body.

In his hand were a lance and a shield, and a sword was strapped to his waist.

He wore a helm helmet, but there was no face cover, so his unique face was clearly exposed.

“Get up quickly. Adventure is not waiting for us, is it?”

And this old knight, who had frustrated and tormented the collectors outside.

He was the protagonist of this Mental Realm, so to speak.

Don Quixote.
