Chapter 1442 - Side Story 51
Everything, even the chirping of the birds, felt fascinating to Soo-Hyuk.
‘This is the virtual reality game that daddy was talking about! The place where daddy treated his disease!’
This part, Soo-Hyuk believed. His dad would often stare into the air for a long time as he reminisced. As for the other nonsense that he talked about? Soo-Hyuk did not believe them at all.
Soo-Hyuk had researched extensively about the game called Athenae.
‘This world has more people than Earth. It’s also a world where strong people like those in fantasy novels appear! But Daddy is supposed to be the strongest person in this amazing place?’
Parents always wanted to be superheroes in the eyes of their children. From what Soo-Hyuk could see, his dad wanted to be his very own Superman. Unfortunately, he was more intelligent and more mature than kids his age! Those are things that only five-year-old kids would believe. Soo-Hyuk was already six years old.
Soo-Hyuk looked around. He could see countless adults roaming the area. There were sturdy and muscular men, people whom he had never seen before, carrying sharp spears and swords, passing by him. They were probably the soldiers patrolling the area.

To top it off, the man looked rough and rugged with his patchy beard. The worst part was that Soo-Hyuk had seen this man yell at others. He heard him say, ‘Idiots! Don’t you even know how to swing properly?!’
‘Mommy, daddy… I miss you.’
At that moment…
“Barnes, I’ll take care of this child.”
Murmur, murmur!
The surroundings grew noisy when a man appeared. The man was tall, as tall as Soo-Hyuk’s dad, and slim. He was carrying a cool and nice sword on his waist and had a cape bearing the symbol of a fork and knife crossed together on his back.
“Hello? You must be Soo-Hyuk, hmm?”
“...?”
‘He knows me?’
“My name is Conir. I will be your instructor here, and I will teach you the basics.”
At that moment, Barnes and the passing soldiers stood at attention and saluted the man. They shouted, “Greetings,...
