Global Awakening: Only I Can Respawn

Soon enough, the group stood before the home YuWon's father built, a home where his murderer lived. YuWon clenched his fists at the thought. Yeji noticed it and linked arms with him, showing her support. However, YuWon sighed and stepped ahead.

"Keep an eye out on things," YuWon told the rest. "Sena, you keep an eye on Joon. I don't want him causing any problems."

"Will do!" Lilith playfully saluted.

With everything handled, he and Yeji stepped into the apartment complex. It was teeming with goblins and some two-legged reptilian monsters YuWon had seen for the first time. But his knowledge as a manhwa addict resurfaced, and he realized what they were.

"Kobolds."

"I'll deal with them—" Yeji said.

"No need," YuWon interrupted. "I've been itching for a fight."

Yeji nodded and took a step back. Her earlier remark about selling them must have struck a nerve with YuWon. He probably needed an outlet to vent his frustrations without restraint, and such minor monsters were just what he needed.

"Killing elite monsters could cause some problems for him, but it should be fine if it's a mob," she mumbled.

YuWon rushed in and suddenly, the snickering of the monsters turned into painful cries. Curious people peeked from the windows, only to see a young man killing the monsters that had haunted them for over a day.

YuWon and Yeji's parents were watching them as well. However, Yeji's father, Seok, frowned when he saw YuWon. He had hoped the brat would have died in the chaos, instead; he was back there.

Min-Ji, however, had tears in her eyes. She hadn't seen her son in so long, yet he came there ignoring the dangers of saving her. At that moment, Min-Ji forgave all of YuWon's mistakes.

Seok saw it and couldn't help but curse YuWon under his breath. However, as he did, he turned his gaze to him. The coldness in his eyes made Seok step back.

Does the brat know... no, he can't know what I did?

Seok's mind drifted to the past, a memory he rarely allowed himself to revisit. He had killed YuWon's father, cleanly enough that even the police uncovered no evidence. There was no way a brat like YuWon could know the truth.

Yes, he's acting out because he has some power now.

However, Seok snapped out of his thoughts when YuWon grabbed a goblin and hurled it towards them. The creature slammed into the wall near the window, its blood splattering across Seok's face as YuWon laughed and mouthed some words for Seok.

"You're next."

Seok gulped his saliva. Something told him YuWon wasn't the brat he could control anymore. That's when he saw Yeji rushing up to YuWon.

Seok smiled, thinking Yeji and Min-Ji would keep YuWon in check. But all that reassurance he gave himself fell short when Yeji wiped the sweat off YuWon's face.

Seok's face fell open. He had orchestrated every detail and devised a perfect scheme to rid himself of YuWon and sever him from Yeji's life. Yet here she was, tending to YuWon with an intimacy that made Seok's stomach churn.

Seok wondered if Yeji knew about his deception and the look Yeji gave him more or less confirmed the fact. Seok's knees buckled, the strength draining from him. His carefully crafted plans were being unraveled, and there was nothing he could do to save his ass.

"No monsters will threaten you now!" YuWon announced as the last kobold fell.

People who had been hiding in their homes cheered on for YuWon. But YuWon couldn't feel anything in his heart. He remained as hollow as the day they had cast him out.

Back then, they hadn't hesitated to brand him a pervert just because they heard Seok yelling at him. Seok had intentionally caused a ruckus to ensure everyone heard him.

That led to YuWon being shunned by everyone. But now that he had saved them, they suddenly changed their opinion of him. It was disgusting.

There's no point in dwelling on their feelings. These fuckers would die eventually. I don't need to waste my time on them.

YuWon wasn't wrong. If they couldn't deal with goblins and kobolds by themselves, they won't make it far in god's game. They would die, and he wasn't about to waste another second on their pitiful existence.

However, YuWon was interested in causing a ruckus of his own. For that, he needed an audience. Just because he had lived countless times didn't mean he would forget to settle the grudges he had. Just as he had dealt with Hoon, he intended to settle his scores there, too.

"Bring your parents here," YuWon instructed Yeji.

Yeji froze. His request came as a surprise. She had a flicker of hope that YuWon, having killed her father in a previous life, might spare him this time. But she knew better than to argue.

Seok's sins were unforgivable and after the incident at the nightclub, Yeji was already treading on thin ice. She couldn't afford to push YuWon further. With a steel resolve, she nodded and turned to leave, resolving to kill her father herself if need be.

As she reached the door, YuWon called out, tossing something her way.Yeji caught the slave collar. She realized YuWon wasn't planning to kill her father.

In their last life, YuWon let Seok off, feeding him to the fire giant. But this time he would deal with Seok himself. The first step was to enslave him.

"Do you understand what I want?" YuWon asked.

Yeji clutched the collar tightly and nodded. Her dear brother wanted a slave, so she would get on for him.

Watching Yeji retreat, YuWon couldn't help but smile. For a fleeting moment, he had wondered if she might defy him. That's why he had acted cold towards her since leaving the nightclub.

It was all his plan to play at her regret, to ensure her obedience without needing to resort to the slave brand.

"This will be fun." YuWon smiled.
