"After both John and Demon Emperor parted ways, John returned to his own world he was happy but also somewhat sad because he couldn't do anything for the Demon Emperor when he provided so many things and changed his life ."

Woosh Hush!

Ahh, my head is spinning from that portal experience, damn! Have I really reached the location of the bonus portal? (John Thinks)

John! Brother! Is that really you? (Shouting surprised)

Oh, So it is Selena and Sophie. ( Acting surprised and guilty)

(Selena rushes toward John and hugs him tightly and starts crying. )

Brother! Brother! (Crying) Brother, you are alive I thought that you were dead when you didn't come out from the portal for a whole week.

What, whole week (Surprised John)

Yes, is everything alright. You looked surprised (Selena)

No, no, it is just that when I was inside the portal it was just a day or so. It may be because the bonus portal was not stable or something. (John explaining)

(When John was explaining the situation to Selena he looked on the other side and saw that Sophie was with Selena.)

Hey, Selena! (John)

(Selena starts walking away while trying to hide her pain.)

Hey, wait up will ya! Hey sis what were you doing with Sophie anyway? (asks John)

She is the one who told me that you didn't return from portal raiding. She was very sad and returned after saying that and today was my second time seeing her. (Selena)

(John tells her sister to wait here for a while so he can ask Sophie what was going on.)

(John rushed toward Sophie and caught her hand) Hey, Sophie where are you going? Didn't you come here to visit me or my grave or something? (John)

(Sophie uses her fire to burn John's hand lightly so he will leave her hand.)

Ouch! What was that for? (leaves the hand, John)

You damn bastard! I thought you were dead. Do you how worried I was when you were missing for 7 days straight. (Angrily and crying Sophie)

Hey, what was I supposed to do, I did not have any way to get out of there I just got lucky. (John)

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

You sue that, I told you that I will have your back but I didn't, when you needed it most I am useless. Being a leader damn shit am I qualified to be a leader when I cannot protect my teammates. (frustratingly Sophie)

(John pulls Sophie close and hugs her) Thank you for taking care of me all this time. But from now, I promise I would not be a burden to you. I will get stronger so that I can protect you and everyone who is dear to me.

(Sophie was in a state of shock because he changed completely he became bold and his eyes were full of courage and compassion. It was like he did not fear anything.)

What the hell are you doing? Who told you can hug me ah? Next time I will burn you to crisp if you do that (Sophie felt embarrassed and shy. Her face was red as an apple)

Now go, your sister is waiting for you. She should have many things to talk about with you than I do. (Shy Sophie pushes John away)

(John returns to Selena)

Sorry about that, She is my friend Sophie Leon, she is a strong and dependable leader, she used to take care of me in the raids. (John)

I understand brother, shall we go to our house? (Selena)

I forgot to ask you, does mom know about this? (hesitatingly John)

No, mom Is in her final stage of traumatic recovery if all goes well she would become normal once again; so I didn't want to burden her so I said you were on vacation. (Selena)

That was very well thought of you and I thank you for not telling mom about this. (John)

I was just thinking about her health and didn't believe you would die so easily so I thought not to disturb her from her recovery. (Selena sadly)

Let's go to our house mom may be waiting for you. (John)

Yeah, let's go. (Selena Excitingly)

(John and Selena return home after parting ways with Sophie.)

Mom, I am back home (John)

John my son have you returned (Olivia)

Yes, mom, I have returned and the vacation was also quite good. (John)

Is that so, I was worried about you because you didn't even say a word about going on a vacation. (Olivia)

Mom, I thought that I should say to you before leaving but the doctor said anyone should not disturb you because you are in the last stage of recovery. (John)

Is that so but promise me you would not be this reckless again, ok Nah? (Olivia)

Yes, I promise! (John)

(John returns to his room and checks his ID)

So it is true my wind ability level has risen to level 3. I don't know what is going on now but with the increase in level, I will become strong. (John Thinks)

(After some time John has dinner because he was starving for more than two days and then goes to sleep)

(Next Day Morning)

Ahh! (yawning) nice I didn't have much sleep for the past 4-5 days now I feel refreshed.

John remembers that he needs to get stronger because he needed to save Mona Marie. He makes a decision that from today onwards he would train vigorously to surpass his limits and become strong.

(On the lunch table)

Hey, sis from today onwards I would start training on the back mountain so I want you to make a reason for my absence here. (John)

(After saying that John rushes outside)

Hey, wait a second why are you going to the mountains it's full of wild animals and beasts who have escaped from the portals and poisonous gas all over the mountain many people died while exploring the mountain.(Selena)

I will be alright don't worry. I may be weak but I am still a raider normal animals cannot do anything to me and for poison I am not planning to go to the top of the mountain. (John)

Is it necessary to go there? (Sadly Selena)

My sister, I will be alright. (Confidently John)

All right now I will take my leave. (John)
