Blue sky, grassy lands, and a cool, soft breeze.
Sitting on a chair on the balcony, his face, covered by the hands, ‘The Gamer’ Han Jihan, gave out a big sigh, then put his mana-enhanced tab inside the inventory. Closing his eyes, Han Jihan pinched the bridge of his nose and leaned back.
Three years had passed since the Great War against the Void King, Cthulhu, and Great Magus Udivus. Han Jihan, with everyone’s help, was able to successfully defeat those three, but the price was so high that he wished to go back in time and reverse everything.
“I have prepared everything I can. I just hope that it goes well,” Jihan muttered, looking at the thick stack of documents.
“Are we really doing this, Jihan?” A soft, feminine voice called from behind.
Near the door, holding a tea set, a woman walked out with golden-brown hair, reaching her hips, and wearing a white dress.
Inside those deep brown eyes, Jihan could see a silver lining of worry and sadness.
“Sung-ah, you came? Let me hold this for you.” Han Jihan took the tea set from the Sang-ah and started filling the cups.
“Everything is ready and good to go. We just need their help.”
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Jihan made Sang-ah sit, then poured tea in a cup with a cube of sugar.
“Is that really alright? I mean… Father always said that affecting the pool of life and death brings tragedy." Sang-ah lowered her head and grabbed the tea cup.
“Yes, it's alright because it all happened due to the interference of the beings from another world. Beings from a different line, so it's alright.” Jihan answered, trying his best to keep himself calm. Deep anger and guilt could be seen in his eyes.
This Great War resulted in the deaths of a large number of members of the Abyss, mostly the people around Jihan. His family, friends, teachers, and students died in this war. He remembered about his parents, the strongest magician and warrior duo, his friend Shin Sun-Il, who was just a step to godhood, and Chunbumoon. Loli teacher, Wolf Man and their friends, his students, and of course the abyssal lords.
The only thing he could do was move on and never look back.
Then one month later, a letter and a box came to him with no address, only his name, telling him that everything he lost could be brought back, but the method was not in this world. Inside the box were hundreds of paper and pen drives and notes all about parallel universes.
Soon, with the help of gamer ability and girlfriend Sang-ah, he was able to understand parallel worlds, laws, and forms.
After the Great War, the laws were stricter and more commanding.
But Jihan knew that if there was any chance of reviving them, it was the only way.
And it all came down today.
After finishing their tea and snacks, Jihan prepared a magic circle, and both of them teleported to deep-sea lands.
Surrounded by darkness, there was an orb radiating bright light, covered by faint mist.

“Ah, Gamer, was it? What have you come here for? You know, after the [Gamer’s Mind] changed to [Transcendental Will], I was never able to connect with you, and now, as I look at you, I feel that your domain is more ‘absolute’; stronger, denser, and also contains spatial bonds.” Jihan heard a muffled voice from the surroundings. Voice that contained no emotions, just plain.
“Gaia, you said you could help me establish a contract with them; will it be absolute?” asked Han Jihan.
“There are 20 Gaia constructs who have agreed to help the gamer Han Jihan, and it will be 'absolute,’ but the method may not be as you imagined it to be, and I am sorry for it. Will it be acceptable, ‘Gamer’?”
“YES”
