Chapter 28 – A Reunion

As Kai continued his smooth journey once again, he didn’t encounter any monsters until he was about one kilometer from his home.

However, when he saw a lone level-24 kobold and a cluster of low-level kobolds, Kai decided to ignore them as he noticed several people fighting the creatures and clearly at a disadvantage.

What Kai hadn’t expected was that, as he strolled past, a voice rang out that almost made him stumble.

“Uncles, Aunties, shut up! You don’t understand our situation!” Nana shouted, pointing her little finger at them.

Kai was speechless when he heard it, but he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly went toward his home at full speed, using all of his strength to scan the surroundings while he was at it.

‘Please, God. let nothing happen to them.’  Kai prayed, thinking of his parents as he realized that if a level-24 kobold was nearby, stronger monsters might also be close to his house.

Ignoring his little sister’s complaint, he released several undead goblins and ordered them to search in the surroundings in case his parents were not at home in this chaotic situation.

When he almost arrived at his home, Kai frowned deeply because he couldn’t sense any life or even death energy in his house.

Summoning the rest of his undead goblins, Kai sent them to sweep the surroundings as he headed west.

‘I hope they’re at Uncle Liam’s house.’ Kai thought, remembering that Uncle Liam was a retired military veteran.

Uncle Liam also had a son who played Worldbreaker Online, and he wasn’t half-bad as Kai recalled that he was close to completing the mission to become a 1st-Echelon Awakener.

In his previous life, right after burying his family, Kai had gone to Uncle Liam’s house and discovered they had been on their way to help him after clearing nearby monsters.

When they learned of his family’s deaths, they cried and apologized for not arriving sooner to save them.

Naturally, Kai didn’t blame them at all about this and felt grateful instead, as they still remembered about his family even in this chaotic situation.

“Brother Kai. Why didn’t we go inside the house?” Nana asked worriedly when she watched her brother go past their house instead of going inside.

“Mom and Dad aren’t inside, they are probably at Uncle Liam’s house.” Kai pinched her cheek softly, reassuring her with a soft pat. “Don’t worry, Uncle Liam is strong since he is a military veteran. They’ll be fine.”

Uncle Liam’s house wasn’t far, about two kilometers away. Kai felt relieved he hadn’t seen his parents’ bodies among the corpses in the street.

He also noticed that they had likely ridden there since he saw that the bicycle in front of the window was gone.

During the one-hour period where people who logged in inside the game couldn’t log out, there were also weird things that happened around the world where they couldn’t use any electronic things, weapons, or even vehicles that used fuel, etc.

After a while, Kai finally sensed a group of people were fighting against a group of kobolds in the distance.

A few seconds later…

Sigh!

Kai exhaled deeply, feeling relieved as he saw that his parents were among those people.

“Nana, our parents are right there! They’re fine,” Kai teared up a little, feeling extremely happy that he could at least have the chance to protect them in this life. Unlike before, when he couldn’t even do anything and could only just watch their dead bodies helplessly.

“Really? Where are they?” Nana became excited and looked ahead, squinting her eyes and putting her palms above her eyes cutely.

“You can’t see them yet.” Kai chuckled and flicked her head softly.

“Nana, close your eyes for a moment. I need to kill the bad monsters attacking Mom and Dad,” he said, patting her head.

Nana became worried for a second before nodding her head as she remembered that her brother was extremely strong.

“Hmmm-hmmm, don’t forget to kill every one of them,” Nana showed a fierce expression, clenching her fist cutely at Kai.

“Of course! Now close your eyes.” Kai replied, unsheathing his sword.

Looking at the group of kobolds ahead, Kai’s eyes turned ice-cold.

In an instant, Kai severed the level 24 Kobold’s head, who was fighting against Luca, Uncle Liam’s son.

Kai stopped for a split second as he glanced at his parents’ faces, then blitzed through kobolds ranging from levels 15 to 20, cutting them down in a blur.

Luca was shocked when he saw that something fast just went past him and instantly killed the kobold in front of him with a clean cut.

Naturally, the sight of Kai stopping for a split second couldn’t escape Luca’s eyes.

“It’s Kai and Nana!” Luca exclaimed in a shocked expression, feeling disbelief that the person who had just killed the kobold so easily was Kai.

Kai’s parents instantly tilted their heads when they heard it. However, they didn’t see anything and only noticed that there was someone who killed the Kobolds at an extremely fast speed.

“It’s him!” Luca explained that the person who killed the Kobolds was Kai.

At the same time, everyone was shocked when they noticed everyone’s wounds were instantly healed in a second.

“You silly boy! It’s good that you’re safe, but you didn’t even greet us after making us worry so much…” Kai’s mom cried, feeling relieved when she saw that her children were safe and sound.

“Hey, at least they’re okay. Don’t make Nana cry too if she sees you crying.” Kai’s dad petted her hair, trying his best to console her.

“I know,” she sniffed, wiping her tears.

A few seconds later, all of the kobolds were dead, and Kai finally appeared in front of the group, looking at his parents with mixed emotions.

Kai tried his best to not cry when he looked at his parents, but tears slid down anyway when he heard his mother’s soft voice.

“Kai… Nana…”

Liora, an elegant woman in her late thirties with long white hair, wept harder when she saw her son was crying too, which actually surprised her.

Darius, a middle-aged man in his early 40s with a short beard, smiled bitterly as he looked at Kai, who was in bad shape even though he looked fine.

‘He must have been through a lot on his way here.’ Darius thought to himself.

“Mom, Dad…” Kai smiled, wiping his tears as he walked towards them slowly.

“Mom, Dad!” Nana cried and opened her arms widely.

Liora and Darius hurried forward at their little princess’s call.

“Nana, you didn’t give your brother any trouble, did you?” Liora asked, lifting her from Kai’s arms and brushing her cheek.

“Don’t cry, son. You’re already a grown-up.” Darius patted Kai’s shoulder as he looked at his son, sizing him up from top to bottom.

Before Kai could respond, Nana replied cheerfully. “Of course not! Nana’s been a good girl and always does what Brother Kai says.”
