The Author's POV

Chapter 400

Ci Clank—

"I know a nice place."

Closing the door behind me, I followed Ren out of my apartment. After taking a look at our surroundings, we decided to move to a better place to talk. Simply put, my apartment was too filthy to stay in.

Just the stench of alcohol alone was enough to make the both of us want to leave.

As I followed Ren from behind, there were many questions that I wanted to ask him such as what was he doing here? And why was he in my apartment?...but, more than anything else, I finally felt calm.

Ren's presence and existence gave me a sense of calmness.

If he was here, it meant that everything that had happened to me wasn't merely some kind of dream. I wasn't in a coma, and I really did reincarnate back into that world.

'It's real.'

What I went through wasn't the fruition of my imagination.

Knowing this, I was able to recompose himself.

"After parting ways with each other, darkness completely overtook my consciousness. I thought that I was finally gone for good, but before I knew it, I found myself in this world."

Walking around the streets, Ren's voice reached my ears.

"It wasn't even for that long. Probably a day and a half. Just when I thought I would never associate myself with my old life, you suddenly showed up. I honestly, didn't expect to see you so soon."

My brows slowly knit together.

'Probably a day and a half. Didn't expect to see you so soon.'

Indeed, if I wasn't wrong, only two days had passed since I had died in this world. Just like the other Ren said, the time he had been here only amounted to around a day and a half.

"At first I was a bit confused about this world. As in, everything looks a lot less advanced than I previously remembered. There were no air trains, no holographic devices, or anything remotely close to that kind of level of technology..."

Ren's feet came to an abrupt halt.

"There also isn't any mana in this world."

His brows were knit into a tight frown.

Taking another step forward, Ren continued.

"At first I was very scared. Scared about the idea of coming into a world that I had never been in...but thinking about the fact that my family was fine, and that they were in your hands, I felt somewhat reassured."

Stopping in front of a cafe shop, Ren entered the place. I followed behind him. He then proceeded to order a coffee, and I did the same.

I was familiar with the place we were in. I remembered coming here a couple of times back in the past. It wasn't bad.

"As I was saying, just when I had come to terms with this world you suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

Raising and lowering his head, Ren's eyes passed on me before he squinted.

After a while, seemingly having made up his mind, he suddenly asked.

"Is that how you looked before coming to my world?"

My mouth twitched at his question. Eventually, I nodded.

"...Yeah."

"I see."

Ren took a sip of his coffee before his brows suddenly furrowed.

"Strange..." He softly muttered.

Hearing his words, my head tilted.

"What's so strange about me looking like this?"

Yes, I was fat. Very fat if I had to put it bluntly, but was it really so strange? Well, perhaps it was since he would've never have thought that the guy who took over his body was someone like me.

"Oh!"

Ren covered his hand with his mouth before waving them.

"Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that the fact that you are fat is strange. I'm just more concerned about other things."

The frown on my face deepened.

"What are you talking about?"
