My Life As The First S-Class Guide

Chapter 302: LUCKY STAR

THE SYSTEM’S WOMB.Wonhee looked around, wondering what part of that place resembled a womb.

Of course, she knew that it was just the place’s name.

My humor is broken.

Anyway, the place actually resembled her old penthouse— the one she used to live in when she was still active as an actress.

Even the view outside was the same.

It’s the Han River.

There was one strange thing, though.

Why do I feel like I’m submerged in water? I can breathe, and I can move without a problem, but I feel uncomfortable.

Wonhee raised her hands.

As expected, the uncomfortable feeling didn’t disappear.

But, now, she realized the cause of it.

The "air" in this place is actually made of Mana.

"It feels like I’m inside a dungeon."

"Well, the System and the dungeons came from the same place."

Oh, that was the same robotic voice that she heard when she woke up earlier.

"Now I understand why you said I’m in the System’s womb," Wonhee said, sitting on the bed while admiring the view of the fake Han River. "This place makes me feel safe."

"The System will keep your soul safe here."

"My soul, huh? It makes me feel like I’m really dead."

"You are dead, Guide Chu Wonhee."

"Ouch."

That made Wonhee remember her "exit."

It wasn’t satisfying since she didn’t personally see Lee Seodam’s demise.

Moreover...

I wasn’t able to say goodbye to Hwang Yejun.

Wonhee knew that she was going to break her promise with Hwang Yejun, but she thought she should have at least said goodbye to him properly.

"I hope Hwang Yejun didn’t go on a Rampage."

She only realized that she said that out loud when the robotic voice responded to her.

"Don’t worry about Hunter Hwang Yejun too much, Guide Chu Wonhee. He’ll die soon."

"Excuse me?"

"Hunter Hwang Yejun signed his own death certificate after you died."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Hunter Hwang Yejun took the role of the , bestowed by the System itself. You remember that Civilian Gong Yool had already returned to the real world before you died, don’t you?"

"Ah, yes. I remember that part."

"Thanks to Civilian Gong Yool’s hard work, the System has regained enough strength to fight the Anti-Virus. Hence, the System was able to give Hunter Hwang Yejun the ability he needs to save the world. After Hunter Hwang Yejun is done with his mission, he’ll die and his soul will be absorbed by the System’s womb."

"So, I’ll be reunited with Hwang Yejun soon?"

"That’s right. After all, both Guide Chu Wonhee and Hunter Han Yejun’s souls are needed to turn back time."

"Excuse me? Turn back time? Is that possible?"

"It won’t be easy, but it’s not impossible."

"How will the System turn back time?"

"The System has already finished its preparation. To activate the — the star created by the allied gods who wanted to save the world— it needed the unconditional love directed to people who would turn back time."

"Then you must be talking about unconditional love of people around me and Hwang Yejun," Wonhee said, clenching her hands tight. "I have a bad feeling about this."

"Let me show you that bad feelings are almost always correct, Guide Chu Wonhee."

What the hell?

The view of the Han River suddenly changed.

In fact, the entire glass window turned into a giant television.

Then it played a "movie" that Wonhee didn’t expect to see.

"Eomma? Appa? Aunt Sara? Uncle Muyeol?"

Her mother and father were "alive" in that "movie," and they were with Aunt Sara and Uncle Muyeol— the couple that Wonhee treated like her second set of parents.

Why are they together... here?

By "here," Wonhee meant the replica of her penthouse.

Yes, she was pretty sure that her two sets of parents were in the System’s womb in that certain "scene."

It was a "scene" where her beloved ones were talking to the System.

There was a round table in the middle of the penthouse.

A round aquarium was in the center, and inside the said aquarium was a thing that looked similar to a human brain— only it had colorful flowers growing in it.

That’s also how we met the System’s physical for the first time...!

Wonhee was shocked, confused, and nervous while anticipating was about to happen.

"What I showed you just now was the state of the world after you died."

It was the voice in the "scene" said to her parents.

Wonhee frowned, unhappy.

No wonder her parents, Aunt Sara, and Uncle Muyeol all looked so pale and scared as if they witnessed the end of the world— because they did.

Why show that to them?

It was true that her parents, Aunt Sara, and Uncle Muyeol had lived long enough to witness the apocalypse.

But they should be resting in peace by now.

They didn’t have to know that I died without saving the world.

Unfortunately, Wonhee had no control over what was happening in that "scene."

"Guide Chu Wonhee died without saving the world. However, the System can turn back time. It requires a great sacrifice, though."

"No," Wonhee pleaded in a soft voice. "Please don’t."

She could already tell what the System was going to ask.

And she wasn’t wrong.

"We need your unconditional love for Guide Chu Wonhee to reset the world, and for her to be reborn under the Lucky Star. And you can give it to us by sacrificing your life force after the ’reset.’ Guide Chu Wonhee has to experience a great loss for her Lucky Star to be activated. Hence, she has to experience losing her parents twice."

Haaah.

Wonhee closed her eyes tight since she already knew how her parents would react.

"I don’t mind giving up my life for our baby— especially if by doing so, we’ll ensure that she’ll live in a normal world after the reset. Even if we’re no longer by her side, she still has her siblings to take care of her. But let me ask you one thing."

Hmm?

It was her mother.

Wonhee opened her eyes because she was curious about what her mother would ask the System.

It seemed like her mother became the spokesperson of the group.

"If our baby Wonhee is destined to suffer this much loss after the reset, then what is she supposed to gain after saving the world? I want our baby to gain happiness that she doesn’t have to share with anyone else— the kind of happiness that she deserves to call her own."

Wonhee felt a lump in her throat. "Eomma..."

"My wife is right. Our daughter will suffer once she finds out that we sacrificed ourselves for her and her bright future. We won’t be there to console her. And even if she has her siblings by her side, I’m sure she’ll still be lonely."

Now Wonhee couldn’t stop her tears from falling. "Appa..."

"You understand what we’re saying, don’t you? Our Wonhee wants to have her own family someday, so you better give her someone deserving this time!"

Wonhee laughed softly. "Aunt Sara..."

"And please keep that Lee Seodam away from our Wonhee after the reset! Give our favorite goddaughter a man much better than that bastard!"

Wonhee shook her head while smiling. "Uncle Muyeol..."

Ah, she felt loved.

Her parents.

Aunt Sara and Uncle Muyeol.

I’m really their baby.

Wonhee’s heart broke into pieces— half-happy to receive this unconditional love from her two sets of parents, and half-broken that these wonderful people chose to sacrifice their future for her sake.

She was truly loved.

"Do not worry, Guide Chu Wonhee’s parents— your daughter will meet someone new, someone who will destroy the world for her."

Really?

Wonhee wanted to make fun of the System when...

"Chu Wonhee, how dare you die without me?"

She flinched.

To be honest, she wanted to make herself believe that she was just hearing things. But the "air" suddenly turned cold, and the presence behind her was too heavy to ignore.

But I thought I needed to wait a bit more...?

"You should have killed me first before you die, so we could be together even after death."

Haaah.

He’s really here.

Wonhee turned around, and couldn’t help but smile sadly when she saw Hwang Yejun. "How did the strongest Hunter in the world die?"
