âCause I remember my past lifeâ¦?â
I canât even imagine Ash killing me now.
What has changed the future to this extent? Really because I remembered my past life?
Because that fact acts like a butterfly effect on my fate?
Kim Go-dongâs voice was heard when my head became complicated.
âAnyways, after that, I havenât been able to pull myself together for a while. So I took a picture of it with a book. Somehow.â
Kim Go-Dong lightly lifted the book on the table.
âAnd with an indomitable will to sell books, I went to visit the richest nobleman in the neighbourhood. At the end of the question, whatâs the result? It was obvious.â
I remembered the story I had heard from the emperor. I responded.
âYouâve been treated like a madmanâ¦.â¦.â
âYes. Like a lie, they all looked at this book and said it only contained blank papers. Thanks to it, I became a scammer, and in the end, I became a lunatic.â
Kim Go-dong laughed as if she was reminiscing about the time.
âMy back that was kicked at that time still aches when it rains.â
âAh.â
The waist is so precious. When I let out a lamentable sigh without realizing it, Kim Go-dong continued.
âWell, anyway. But apparently, you can see the contents of this book. Is that right?â
âThatâs right!â
Ari stepped forward, replied with a big nod.
âI read it all. From start to finish. It wasnât fun.â
âYes⦠Iâve been feeling it for a while, but itâs very honest.â
âThank you. But why do we see this book? Just you and me?â
âI think itâs simple.â
Kim Go-dong answered Ariâs question without showing any signs of concern.
âBecause youâre a stranger like me.â
Stranger. I was born in this world, and I only remember my past life, but it was true that I had a memory that others didnât have anyway.
I opened my mouth first before Ari got excited and said anything back.
âHow do you know that? Whether youâre strangers or not.â
Ari and I are seeing Kim Go-Dong for the first time here today.
And I havenât introduced ourselves yet.
Kim Go-dong easily burst into laughter at my words.
âOh, Iâm sorry about this. There was not enough explanation. Itâs a simple story.â
ââ¦â¦.â
âYouâll know if youâve read a book, but the future has changed. Iâve lost my ability to see the future since that day, but of course, I remember what I wrote in my book.â
If the memory becomes blurred, itâs enough to read it again, and Kim Go-dong, who added it like that, continued.
âBut the future Iâve seen and the real future that is happening right now has changedâ¦â¦ there were two people in the centre of the change.â
Kim Go-dong faced me and Ari in turn.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHow many inferences have I been able to make in this situation? Iâm sure itâs nothing. Maybe these people are in the same situation as me. If the soul, if not the body, has crossed over from another world like me, and thatâs why it has affected the future of this world.â
ââ¦â¦.â
âDidnât you read this book? Maybe you read it. If they came from Korea like me. Maybe a similar vibe to me attracted this book.â
ââ¦â¦.â
ââ¦â¦when I thought so, you came and reached to me, as if to add credibility to my guess.â
Kim Go-dong pointed at me. Our eyes met.
âWould it be a good explanation?â
âYes.â
Ari was the one who answered it.
Ari was ready to stand up and crawl.
âItâs all right! Iâm from Korea, too. I am Korean. My name is Ari, Shin Ari. One day, I accidentally rolled down the stairs and when I opened my eyes, it was here. This is someone elseâs body right now, but somehowâ¦â¦.â
Ariâs voice, which continued briskly, died down at some point.
ââ¦â¦Iâm coming in, you know. Why doesnât a God of dimensions appear before me?â
Ariâs voice shook sharply.
âWhyâ¦â¦? I, too, came here by mistake.â
I pressed Ariâs hand again in a hurry. Then I looked at Kim Go-dong and said.
âKim Go-dong, I have a favour to ask you. Do you happen to know how to meet God of the dimension? Actually, thatâs why I wanted to see you.â
It is said that Kim Go-dong did not summon the God of the Dimension, but the God of the Dimension appeared in front of Kim Go-dong, so I felt like I was holding onto a straw.
âPleaseâ¦â¦â
âYes.â
ââ¦â¦yes?â
But Kim Go-dong was more positive than I thought. I thought I misheard it.
âWhat did you just sayâ¦â¦.â
âYou asked me if I knew how to meet a God of Dimensions. I know. I know exactly how to call him.â
âOh, how?â
âI canât tell anyone or anything. This is my ability, so to speak. I can call him for you, but do you want me to call him?â
Youâre calling the God of the Dimension?
Now, here?
I looked around Ari. Ari blinked slowly.
Then suddenly she began to shed tears.
âAri!â
âI⦠can go? Can I go home?â
Her pronunciation was crushed by crying and it was a mess. But I could still understand what she was trying to say.
âCan I go home?â
The image of Ari, who was fiddling with her bright face in the carriage to the Palace, came to mind.
She even joked and laughed, âAre you trying to set me up on a blind date?â
But Ari was crying now. Tears streamed down her cheeks.
That face must be her real feelings.
Itâs not like she was forced to smile and pretend to be calm, but this face must be Ariâs true feelings.
I felt like I was going to cry. I bit my lips and gave Kim Go-dong a look.
âPlease, if itâs possible right now.â
âOkay. Just a moment, please.â
Kim Go-dong rose from her seat. Then she moved to a rather quiet space, where she closed her eyes silently.
I imagined that a great ceremony would take place that would be hard for ordinary people to think of.
But Kim Godong opened her eyes a while later.
âItâs doneâ
âWhatâs doneâ¦â¦â
-Did you call me?
ââ¦â¦!â
Surprised. A voice rang in my head. Like thunder.
Kim Go-dong shouted at the ceiling with her head down.
âPlease reveal yourself, Almighty God of Dimension.â
â Something cheeky. Is that you again? Who told you to call God like this?
âItâs not because I miss you. There are middle school students that God needs to see. She fell into this world by your tireless mistake.â
-What is it?
Is it just my feelings? But it seems like a twist at the end. Godâs voice seemed to be angry at the moment, but Kim Go-dongâs words seemed to have been conveyed properly.
Soon after, there was a human figure in the space where there was nothing.
I stared embarrassedly at the person who suddenly appeared.
âThis is God?â
Godâs eyes turned to me whether he was reading my thoughts or not. Words rang in my head.
â I appeared familiar to your eyes. Because there is no human body to see my true self.
âAhâ¦â¦.â
The eyes of God shifted to Ari. Soon a low sigh came out of his mouth.
â Youâre telling me the truth. Boy, you were right.
âTo him, I am always a boy.â
â Even the soul falls into this world over the body. There must have been a lot of friction with the world hereâ¦â¦.
The eyes of God, who ignored Kim Go-dongâs grumbling, did not fall from Ari.
âAre, are you the God of Dimension?â
â Yes. Iâm sorry, child of another world. You must have had a hard time here because of me.
The God of the Dimension seemed to know that Ari might have woken up here and almost died again and again.
Ari shook her head. Then again, she confirmed to God with her tearful voice.
âOkay. So, can I, uh, go back home now?â
â Of course. Iâll send you back to your original world.
Ari hugged me as soon as the definite answer fell. Tears moistened my shoulders. My eyes were eventually reddened by the sound of her bawling.
Then Kim Go-dong stepped in.
âGod of Dimension, I beg your pardon. Onlyâ¦â¦â
â Donât do it if you know youâre an outcast here.
âOh, itâs been 25 years, really! Iâll just ask. I think theyâre both strangers. Why would you say that to one person?â
I noticed what kind of misunderstanding Kim Go-dong was having.
No wonder she called me a middle school student, not a middle schooler.
âIâ¦â¦..â
â Two?
As soon as I tried to explain something to Kim Go-dong, Godâs voice rang.
Soon God looked at me again and smiled lightly.
â Another stranger, you say. I can see why you thought so. Is it because the future has changed?
âNo?â
â Hmmâ¦â¦
God seemed to be pondering something for a moment. But looked at me and asked.
â Kid. How far do you know? Have you heard everything this moron has done?
Moron. It was an expression referring to Kim Go-dong. I nodded before I knew it.
â Good. Then Iâll explain it to you. The God of Destiny was very angry at the time because of him. And she didnât want the future, which was reduced to a mere novel by human hands, to come true.
I understand. I certainly think thatâs going to hurt my self-esteem, too.
â But it wasnât easy to change the fate that she had already set.
âYou mean itâs hard to fix once you set it up?â
Somehow, God of Dimension continued to speak when he thought it was an inefficiencies system.
â So after much thought, the God of Destiny decided to leave the established fate as it is, and instead come and put it in with a stronger fate.
âMore powerful fate?â
â Yeah.
Is this a misunderstanding? I felt the eyes of God staring at me were gently bending.
â Youâve got a connection here with a man named Ash Widgreen, right? Your soul is destined for him.
âââââ
