Player who Returned 10,000 years Later-Chapter 6: Demon King's Rage (1)

Slurp-! Crunch-! Munch-!

"…"

Inside of the small house…

A loud eating noise spread through the room.

"It… It seems like you were hungry."

Han Seol-ah smiled awkwardly after looking at KangWoo eating the kimchi stew as if he were a starving demon.

Seeing someone eating like that, rather than making her happy, disconcerted her.

Slurp-! Munch Munch-!

KangWoo didn't seem to care how Han Seol-ah was looking at him, he was just concentrating on eating the food.

'It's delicious.'

He took a spoon of rice, put a pork belly on top of it, and then placed a slice of kimchi on top of it.

He opened his mouth wide and put them all in his mouth. A new world of sensations unfolded before his eyes.

'This is too delicious!!!'

His taste cells, which had been laying around without doing anything for ten thousand years, were going crazy.

KangWoo felt a sensation similar to the first time he’d met Han Seol'ah. His mind became blank.

"Sniff…"

He was overwhelmed by emotions.

Memories of the ten thousand years of suffering flashed past his mind.

"Sniff… Hic. Fuck… This is too delicious."

KangWoo ate the kimchi stew while crying as if he were a kid.

To be honest, he didn't have the need to eat.

Half of his body had become similar to a demon's when he’d accepted demonic energy.

Demons maintained and moved their bodies through demonic energy, so they didn't need to eat.

'Those poor guys.'

KangWoo felt pity for the demons who didn't know about the enjoyment that eating food gave you.

Because he still had a part of his body that was 'human,' although he didn't need to eat, he could still feel the taste of food.

Demons’ sense of taste was weak because they didn't need to eat from the beginning. But unlike them, his taste buds were intact.

'Is… is it that delicious?'

Han Seol-ah stuttered while looking at KangWoo, who was eating the kimchi stew while crying.

She was confident in her cooking skills.

She had done most of the housework since she was little.

The kimchi stew she had prepared had the know-how she'd developed throughout the years.

But…

She didn't think her food was good enough to cause one to shed tears while eating.

"It's… too delicious…"

KangWoo nodded while emptying the kimchi stew.

"I'm glad that you like it."

She smiled proudly.

She still found his reaction awkward. It wasn't like he was in charge of reacting in a cooking manhwa. But although strange, she didn't hate it.

That just meant that he really liked what she'd prepared for him.

'I'm glad.'

She felt a bit guilty because the only thing she could offer to the person who had saved her life was kimchi stew. But seeing how much he enjoyed eating it made her feel relieved.

He seemed to have a pure side, which made her more interested in him.

'What am I thinking?'

She didn't have time to think about relationships.

She sighed while thinking of her current situation.

Clatter-!

"Ah…"

KangWoo let out a sad exclamation after seeing the empty pot.

He had a body that didn't require food, but his taste buds, which had activated after ten thousand years, weren't satisfied.

"Should I make a bit more?"

"Yes!"

"Fufu. Then wait a moment, please."

KangWoo nodded without a moment of hesitation.

Perhaps she found that attitude cute. While smiling, she took the empty pot and stood up from her seat.

"It's nice to see a young man who eats well."

"It's the most delicious kimchi stew I have ever eaten."

He wasn't exaggerating.

* * *

He didn't know what kind of drug she'd mixed in the stew, but it tasted really good.

'I cannot lose this.'

He couldn't let that kimchi stew go.

'The answer is marriage.'

The reason why he had felt such a taste was because he hadn't eaten proper food for the past ten thousand years.

But right then, he didn't have the mental space to think logically.

KangWoo's eyes shone as he imagined his future with her full of kimchi stew.

'Darling, I'm going to make you happy!'

The owner of the Hell of Nine Skies, a gluttonous monster who had devoured more than hundreds of thousands of demons…

The scene of the demon king who was at the top of the food chain losing his reason because of a kimchi stew felt like a tragedy.

Bubble-

"Because you ate so well, I've prepared more this time."

Although she knew nothing about KangWoo, who had drunk all the stew, she brought another pot of kimchi stew while making a kind smile.

"Thanks for the food."

Slurp-! Munch-!

KangWoo grabbed the spoon and once again began emptying the bowl of kimchi stew.

'As expected, it's delicious!'

He was once again moved by the taste of the stew he could feel on his tongue.

Han Seol-ah smiled proudly while looking at how he was desperately eating the kimchi stew.

It was at that moment…

Boom-!

lіghtnоvеlрub․соm fоr а bеttеr uѕеr ехреrіеnсе

A young man entered the house after opening the door aggressively.

"Hey, Han Seol-ah! I heard that you entered a gate without my permission! Come here!"

He had short blond hair, good facial factions, and was wearing a suit. He approached her while cursing.

Han Seol-ah froze after looking at him.

"O, oppa…"

"TaeHyun! How can you talk to S-Seol-ah like that?!"

Han Seol-ah and her mother began trembling after his sudden appearance.

He snorted and stood in front of Han Seol-ah.

"Who gave you permission to enter a gate?"

"I… I'm also a player. Also, it was you who blocked me from getting a party!"

"Hmph, you talk too much nonsense for a newbie who hasn't even received the basic training."

Han TaeHyun grabbed Seol-ah's shoulders while smiling.

"Don't talk nonsense; join our guild. Oppa will introduce you to some kind people."

He whispered to Seol-ah with eyes full of ambition.

"Ugh…"

Han Seol-ah looked at Han TaeHyun with a disgusted expression.

Han TaeHyun.

It was her blood-related Oppa, who was three years older.

'This kind of trash isn't an Oppa.'

She clenched her fists and glared at him.

Han TaeHyun had been a troublemaker before the gates opened.

Their father had died at a young age. Considering that their mother raised them alone, the situation at her house wasn't that bad.

Her mother was a skillful careerwoman, so she earned a decent amount of money.

But since middle school, Han TaeHyun was involved in lots of fights. He’d even hit her mother and robbed her jewels.

Her mother had gotten sick because of the stress she received from Han TaeHyun's attitude. That made the situation in her house worsen.

On top of that, Han TaeHyun had awakened as a player.

He was a very talented player. When he reached level 10 and the 2nd stage awakening, he received a B rank attribute, and then he’d joined a guild called 'Andras.'

Andras guild…

It was a guild whose name was based on one of the 72 demons of Solomon, and just like their name, they were famous for doing all sorts of horrible things.

After entering the Andras guild, he did everything he could to reach a higher position.

Although Andras guild wasn't big, it was still quite big compared to mid-sized ones. Because his talent was average among guild members, he was struggling to climb up.

That's when he thought of Han Seol-ah.

She was someone very beautiful.

'If I put her on the same team as my superiors…'

There weren't many women that were as pretty as Han Seol-ah. If she was offered to them, he would probably be able to reach a higher position.

He was a lowlife who didn't feel remorse while thinking of using his family member as a sacrifice for personal gain.

"No. I'll never enter your guild."

"Hah. It seems you're so stupid that you still haven't realized how this world works. This isn't a world you can live in just by doing things you like. If you receive the love of my superiors, your life will improve immediately."

"How… How can you say something like that to your family?"

"Huh? Family? Don't bullshit me. How can I call family such a poor one that isn't even helpful?"

lіghtnоvеlрub․соm fоr thе bеѕt nоvеl rеаdіng ехреrіеnсе

"Whose fault do you think that is?!"

Han TaeHyun laughed at Han Seol-ah's shouting.

"Whose fault? It's obviously because of dad, who died too early, and mom, who was only able to earn pennies."

"You crazy bastard!"

Han Seol-ah couldn't contain her anger anymore.

She clenched her fists and tried to punch him.

Han TaeHyun wasn't her family member anymore, he was just a beast wearing the skin of a human. No, he was trash.

Grab-!

"Ugh!!"

Han TaeHyun grabbed Han Seol-ah's hands with a light gesture.

She shuddered at the pain she felt in her wrist.

She had just reached level 6, so overpowering Han TaeHyun, who was at level 30, was impossible for her.

"Let me go!"

"The only thing useful about you is your pretty face. So you should at least think of using that to help. Don't you think so? How can you talk to your Oppa like that? You spoiled little…"

"T-TaeHyun!"

"Get out of the way, you old woman!"

He ignored his mother, who was trying to stop him from getting to Han Seol-ah, grabbed her by her arm, and walked toward the living room.

"Today, definitely… Huh?"

Slurp-! Munch-!

The moment he entered the living room, he saw KangWoo, who was concentrated on eating the kimchi stew.

"What, did you seduce some man?" Han TaeHyun said while laughing at Han Seol-ah.

He took his hands off her wrist, walked toward KangWoo, and opened his mouth.

"Hey, mister. You're bothering here, so get the fuck out."

Slurp-!

He menacingly spoke to KangWoo.

But KangWoo just ignored him and kept eating the kimchi stew.

"I told you to get the fuck out!"

Since KangWoo was ignoring him, Han TaeHyun violently kicked the table.

Slam-!

The table got turned upside down.

And…

"Ah…"

The kimchi stew…

Got spilled…

On the floor…

"AAAHHH!"

The ruler of the Hell of Nine Skies…

The monster that’d devoured the seven archdukes who used to rule Hell…

He was the demon of the demons, the predator of predators, and an existence that was like the Hell of the Hells.

He was the owner of the Ten Thousand Demon Core and had devoured more than a hundred thousand demons.

The scream of the demon king, the one who was at the top of all demons, spread through the rusty house.

"MY KIMCHI STEEWWW!!!"
