The Crown Prince in the Mang Game is Good at Idols - Chapter 235

Episode 235

Throughout my life, unusual things have happened right before my eyes so often that I wondered why these things were only happening to me.

So I wondered if I had developed a certain degree of immunity to surreal things.

A creepy feeling ran through my veins as I witnessed the house I used to live in completely disappear.

‘It’s strange. It’s so strange.’

I hurried my steps back, recalling my memories.

It was all familiar scenery. The school, the convenience store, the apartment complex across the street, even the intersection I used to frequent.

“after…….”

I took a deep breath and tried to think calmly.

After searching the surroundings, everything is the same. I don’t really want to remember it, but everything is the same as when I lived as Han Ji-hyeok.

Just one.

Only the house where my family and I lived was gone.

I walked slowly back to the residential area, quickly gathering my thoughts.

‘When I returned to reality, almost everything happened as I remembered, except for the things I had intervened in.’

The debut group also changed overall because of me.

The times when you run on the road to success have also changed.

Even Celeste’s title songs have changed.

Nothing else has changed, except that I participated in the body of Charis von Walden.

And if I think about the scenery that unfolds before me now… … .

‘Doesn’t there really exist a person named Han Ji-hyeok in this world?’

I have no choice but to conclude that.

The moment it was transferred to , ‘Han Ji-hyeok’ disappeared from reality.

My soul is still Han Ji-hyeok, but my body belongs to Crown Prince Charis von Walden.

Since he came to reality in his physical form, it would be right for Han Ji-hyeok not to exist in order to prevent the world line from becoming strangely distorted.

But can everything related to Han Ji-hyeok disappear like this?

‘I think we need to test it a little more.’

I turned my steps back to the subway station.

Then I headed to the one-room apartment I first opened my eyes in when I returned to the real world.

Back in the old days, all I wanted to do was get out of that disgusting corner of the house as soon as possible.

Since I started living alone without any plans, it wasn’t always comfortable, but I was happier than when I was at home.

If there is any data on Han Ji-hyeok left in this world, it is the most likely place.

I took public transportation for over an hour to get to Gyeonggi-do.

I entered the studio apartment as quickly as possible without wasting any time.

It had been a while since the room was used, so it was covered in dust.

After roughly dusting off the dust and running a vacuum cleaner, I sat down in front of the computer and took a few deep breaths.

I opened the file and checked to see if there were any records of Han Ji-hyeok’s public certificate and copy of the certificate.

But no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find any data with the name Han Ji-hyeok on it.

Only the information about Charis that I created with the power of the system appears.

“… … .”

There is no more data to find. In that case, we will have to think of another way.

I took out my phone and searched for the middle school that Han Ji-hyeok attended.

And I made the call with a slightly trembling heart.

-Yes, this is the Sangcheon Middle School principal’s office.

“Oh, hello. I’m looking for one of my classmates… … .”

I tried to roundabout my words and said that I was looking for a friend named Han Ji-hyeok who was in class 2, grade 3 in 20XX.

The employee typed away furiously, saying that he couldn’t give out personal information, but that he would look up the records for me.

-What was your classmate’s name earlier?

“This is Han Ji-hyeok.”

– Oh, I’m sorry, but I can’t find that name. Are you sure you remember it correctly?

I expected it, but it feels strange to be confirmed dead like this.

I thanked him for taking the time to check in and hung up.

‘It’s almost certain now.’

Han Ji-hyeok does not exist in this world.

The house he lived in with his family, and all his records were erased.

The reason why this one-room apartment was left behind is… … I’m not sure, but it’s probably because I needed a space to use as a ‘base’ when I returned from .

Than that.

‘Did that god have the power to completely erase a person’s existence?’

I still vividly remember the god of .

A grandfather who was waving his arms comically due to a system error.

It’s a bit surprising that a god who can’t even fix a single error has this much power, but when I look at the system he gave me, it makes sense.

The god who created the system must be extraordinary, as he has the ability to instantly create additional features that didn’t exist just by my request.

As I continued thinking about this, one more thing occurred to me that I needed to check.

I slowly typed ‘Grand Quest Saga’ into my browser search engine.

in result.

‘As expected, a game called does not exist in this world.’

Even if I scroll down the mouse wheel, no game with the exact name appears.

There are simply other types of games that have ‘Grand’ or ‘Saga’ in the title.

I leaned back in my chair and exhaled.

If existed in this world, there would have been controversy from the moment I appeared in .

It looks exactly like a character in the game.

I don’t think it’s possible for a game character to come into reality, but it’s possible that there will be talk of ‘game characters becoming real-life’.

From the moment that that happened, I was convinced inside.

does not exist in this world.

Yeah, I guessed this much.

But the question mark has not yet been lifted.

I had an uneasy feeling that there must have been another reason why Han Ji-hyeok’s existence had to be eliminated.

Just to prevent my egos from meeting each other?

If you were afraid of this, you could have manipulated Han Ji-hyeok’s memories.

Otherwise, it would have been more convenient to make Han Ji-hyeok live a completely different life.

Why did you go to such lengths to erase all records of Han Ji-hyeok from the world?

I brought up the system window and thought for a moment.

‘… … Even if I just rack my brain like this by myself, nothing will be solved. Unless the god who created this comes and tells me in person, my curiosity will not be resolved.’

In the end, this is all I can do.

Completing another grand quest, ‘Repairing System Corruption’.

I checked the gauge, which was already at 28%, and smiled faintly.

‘If I fill this up to the end, something will happen. Either good or bad.’

The one who destroyed the system was Demon King Seir.

Ever since I learned that he had broken God’s system, I had made one cautious assumption.

It may be nonsense, but… …. Aren’t I also in the real world now in the body of the crown prince?

does not currently exist in this world.

If that’s the case, then it’s not a problem if the other characters inside come out.

Of course, the appearance needs to be changed to a slightly more modern style.

What worried me the most was the word ‘destruction’.

Let’s take a boundary as an example.

If any part of the barrier forming the barrier is damaged, a gap may appear.

A situation where intrusion is possible from the outside and escape is also possible from the inside.

If the system were to be compromised and something specific were exposed, then I can’t help but think that some pretty crazy things could happen.

I shook my head.

‘I went too far. I took it too seriously.’

The more I think about this, the more strange my imagination becomes.

What I need to focus on is not what might happen, but what has already happened.

‘In conclusion, I would say that today’s search was somewhat successful.’

I’ve wondered what would happen if my old self and my current self met.

There is a saying that if two doppelgangers meet, they die.

I never thought this was true, but it still makes my head spin.

I wonder how my old self would react if he saw me transformed into a crown prince.

But today’s exploration has revealed that won’t happen.

‘Yes, it’s actually good news for me. Because I can now completely shake off that annoying memory… … .’

Old memories associated with family.

If someone heard this, they might be very sad that their past memories have disappeared… … .

I’m the opposite.

I am grateful that I can now live like this, forgetting everything in peace.

My family was adamantly opposed to my dream of becoming a singer.

A father who, far from supporting his dreams, would raise his hand if something didn’t suit his taste, and a mother who, tired of that, went out more often.

After I decided to become independent and left home, we became less interested in each other and we were effectively divorced, although we just didn’t sign the paperwork.

In short, when I think of that family, there are almost no vague memories or longing that come to me.

Even if there were, it would have already worn out and disappeared.

“Phew… … .”

Another sigh escapes my lips.

For some reason, fatigue came over me very quickly.

Maybe it was because the tension had eased a little, but my body felt a little more relaxed.

I turned on my phone’s messenger app and left a message to my manager telling him that I would be sleeping there.

Then I just lay down on the bed and tried to sleep.

The next morning.

I took the subway back to my accommodation early, and an unexpected person greeted me.

“Where did you go alone and why are you coming back now? I told you to take good care of the house.”

“… … ?”

“He’s asking, ‘Why is he here?’”

Kang Si-yoon shook a large plastic bag while smiling cheerfully.

“When I got home, my parents had gone on a trip. So I came back today with a bunch of side dishes that my mom had made.”

“Then you haven’t seen your parents’ faces?”

“I can’t help it. It was just bad timing. Hey, it’s okay, it’s okay. You don’t have to look at me with such worried eyes. My family is always like that. We often go on impromptu trips.”

At my worried gaze, Kang Si-yoon waved his hand and said it was okay.

He asked me to help him organize the containers of leftover food as he stacked them on the kitchen table.

“This is sweet potato candy, and this is kimchi… … . Yay, it’s braised short ribs. Karis, have you ever tried this in Estonia?”

“Of course I’ve tried braised meat. And just in case, I’ve also tried braised short ribs since coming to Korea.”

“Then you should definitely eat this for dinner tonight. It’s what my mom made, and it’s really delicious. I guarantee it.”

“Thank you. Be sure to tell your mother that I am grateful.”

“I was planning on calling you even if you didn’t say so.”

What I just said is half true and half a lie.

Of course I tried Jangjorim.

But I didn’t eat it at a regular side dish store, I ate it when I was really young.

When the atmosphere at home was still good, I vaguely remember that among the side dishes my mother made, braised short ribs were the most delicious.

I guess I had a vague expression on my face without realizing it.

Kang Si-yoon, who was quick-witted, smiled brightly as he closed the refrigerator door.

“You know what? Mom and Dad really like you?”

“Your parents… … me?”

“I bring it up often. I have a foreign friend that I’ve known since I took the A6 level test.”

“If you say it like that, doesn’t that leave out too much?”

“Hahaha! Of course, we talked about you a lot after that. Mom said you seemed really honest and kind, and told me to definitely bring you home sometime later. She thanked me for getting along well with you.”

“… … .”

I can’t remember how long it’s been since I’ve heard a conversation like this.

No. Actually, it might be the first time.

Kang Si-yoon got up and hit my arm.

“It’s not that far from here, so let’s go together sometime. I’ll ask Dad to buy some meat. What do you think?”

“… … .”

“Why aren’t you saying anything? What’s wrong?”

“no.”

I smiled, briefly shaking off my feelings of sadness.

Then he slowly repeated what he had said earlier.

“I really want to tell my parents that I am truly grateful.”
