I Grabbed the Tyrant’s Heart - Chapter 124

“You just need to have an object of the world you want to go to.”

“An object?”

“Yes. Regardless of it being visible or invisible, as long as it belongs to the destination.”

It was an unexpected challenge.

There’s no way that I still have things from my previous life after I’ve reincarnated.

I sighed and clasped my hands together, feeling an unfamiliar feeling in my palms.

When I opened my left palm, I could see the remaining red mark. It was a mark made with a sword to draw blood, the key that Mother told me.

I have it. I have something from that world.

“I have it.”

“Really? Then go inside the mirror. Recall the world you want to go to.”

The fairy didn’t ask what it was, nor did I say more. At that moment, I remembered that I had the clothes I had brought for this moment in my luggage, but my feet moved first.

“You should only think of where you want to go. The moment you think of another place, you will be lost.”

“Lost?”

I stopped walking.

“Yes. You’re crossing countless time and space. It is a very detailed and precise work, so it requires a lot of concentration.”

“If you get lost in time and space…….”

“There is no way to escape, so you need to be extra careful.”

All I need is one thing, concentration. Suddenly, a story Mr. Bugh told me came to mind.

– Focus on one point only.

It was a way to destroy higher magic with lower grade magic, but it became necessary now.

The glittering mirror that was reflecting me so clearly, hurts my eyes, I couldn’t tell if it was diamonds or other minerals. It seemed to pierce me like the fairy king, but I didn’t hesitate.

When the moment I was looking forward to came, what struck me was neither excitement nor trembling, but only tension.

“You must never stop walking.”

I’m sure my legs and arms went into the mirror, but I couldn’t feel anything, and I heard a glimpse as my right leg came into the mirror last.

“Have a safe trip.”

It was a greeting from the Fairy King, neither friendly nor cold.

I walked and walked in the pitch-black space where it was hard to see ahead, but nothing changed. As I walked, white lights twinkled everywhere, so I closed my eyes to avoid being dazzled.

Where I want to go, where I want to go…….

I also questioned whether it was right to cling to the past.

In order not to forget the memories of my previous life, I deliberately wrote down what I had experienced and knew, then read them periodically. In order not to forget the language, I practiced out loud by myself.

Still, there were many forgotten memories.

“Mom.”

Except for one thing, one person’s face.

At this moment, there is only one person I want to see, Mom.

It felt like a thorn stuck in my neck when I remember the last face I saw when she was crying and hugging me.

At least I wouldn’t have done this if she had looked happy.

“Ugh.”

Suddenly, the part that was stabbed by the knife hurt, but I bit my lip and took a step forward.

After walking far, I fell forward as if someone had stepped on me. I was able to prevent myself from falling by supporting my body with both arms on the floor.

Tap, tap, tap.

“So you know.”

Ring, ring, ring.

“I’m going to visit around three o’clock today, do you remember? Haha. Yes, that’s right.”

Bang, bang!

Various tones penetrated my ears like someone had removed the hand that was blocking them. The stimulating sounds that came like waves suffocated me.

As I slowly lifted my upper body, I repeatedly took deep breaths in and out.

I slowly raised my head and opened my closed eyes, but closed them again in the stinging light. I took another deep breath and slowly opened my eyes.

The tall buildings surrounding me were unfamiliar yet familiar. Starting with this, things I had long forgotten came flooding in as if asking me to hurry up and remember them.

The glass windows of skyscrapers glistening in the sunlight, the acrid smell mixed with the scent of grass, and the coolness of marble felt in the palm of my hand.

“I’m back…….”

Looking around, I seemed to be in a park with few people. I staggered with the unfamiliar sensation that came flooding in and leaned against a tree nearby. And I sat down

I’m really here.

“Hey, are you okay?”

The person who approached cautiously didn’t seem to bear hostility and the man’s face turned red when I raised my head.

“You are a foreigner. Uh, so-”

“-I can speak Korean.”

“Oh…….”

The words that came out of my mouth didn’t stick to my tongue very well, but it wasn’t difficult to express my intention.

“You speak Korean fluently.”

“Thank you.”

“Where are you uncomfortable? Are you hurt?”

The man who seemed to be kind to me seemed fit to get what I wanted.

“I was sitting there because I got a little dizzy. Can I ask you for one more favor?”

“What? Yes!”

“Could you give me some money, that is, for the fare? I have to go somewhere.”

I also brought gold just in case.

The man hastily pulled out his wallet and then took out some banknotes.

“This, ah. If you are going to take the bus, this is better.”

He put various banknotes into my hands, demonstrating with passion to change the yellow banknote into other colored bills and coins.

There are also banknotes that I didn’t know about.

The man explained the banknotes and fare, and tried to follow me, saying that he would tell me about the transportation.

“Thank you. I think I can take it from here.”

I placed a solid gold nugget and a diamond ring on the man’s hand.

“It’s all real, so don’t give it away for a bargain.”

“What, what?”

“You will be blessed.”

I left the flustered man and turned away.

After that, things went smoothly and I was able to reach my destination without delay. The paper with the address in my hand was wet with sweat.

“Whoa…….”

I used to not sweat even after running for hours, but I’m drenched in sweat now when it’s not even hot. My body and paper were dried with magic, but the address was already erased.

I stared at the third floor of a small detached house with a rusty black gate.

The 1st and 2nd floors use the same gate, and only the 3rd floor, where I lived, uses a different gate. There were several places to put jars built on the stairs going down.

“It’s the same…….”
