Chapter 910: South Korea

What surprised Ning the most after learning about his family was that he was actually half-Korean. His mother had run away from South Korea and had come to China with his father who had been there to study.

They were forced to leave before his study was fully complete, so his father had never managed to gain enough education to apply for higher jobs.

Still, being able to provide for his family, he had already done more than he ever needed to.

"South Korea huh? Then my mother must've changed her name when she came here. Her family wouldn't have been able to find her even if they had wanted to.

"Well, since I have relatives, let's go see what is up with them," Ning said. "But, before we leave china, I still need to go somewhere."

So, he turned the car around and went towards the orphanage where he grew up.

There was no one in the orphanage that he necessarily wanted to meet, but he still cared about the orphanage in general.

So, he went there and left an anonymous donation of a large amount. Something that would help the orphanage survive for years and let the children there be happy forever.

Once done, Ning turned his car around and made his way toward where the rest of his family remained.

He had wanted to visit the dungeon here, but he realized he could do so in South Korea too, so he went there first.

The distance between Chengdu and South Korea was nearly two thousand kilometers, so if he were to go all the way there by car, then it would take forever. He only had given himself 5 days to roam Earth before leaving for Kumia.

So, he couldn't waste any time.

Ning teleported the car close to Daegu city before driving there himself. By now, the sun was starting to rise on the eastern horizon.

"Where exactly are we going?" Saphandra asked.

"Well, from what I understand, both of my cousins seem to have awakened by now and are working together to make ends meet for their parents. The older daughter, Tae Hi-Ah is a B-ranked mage, while the younger brother, Tae Jung-Hee is a C-Ranked swordsman," Ning said. "Weirdly enough, they are both younger than me."

"Not weird at all. Wasn't your mother pregnant with you very early on?" Saphandra asked. "Also, are they still younger than you? You look like you're 18 years old."

"Ah, you're right. Still, it's weird because my uncle, Tae Min Ki is 4 years older than my mother, and yet my cousins are only 21 and 23. I would've been 25 this year had I still been alive."

"Speaking of age, my uncle seems to be 53. As for my grandmother, Bak Jung Hwa… she seems to be nearing 80 years old now," Ning said. "I'm surprised she is still alive."

"So we're going towards them now?" Saphandra asked.

"Yes," Ning said. "By the way, do you guys think I should just go lurk around first or make friends with my cousins before revealing myself, or should I just go and introduce myself?"

"Are you a little kid or what? Why are you afraid of just introducing yourself openly?" Saphandra asked.

"I was just ask—"

"Master, don't you only have 5 days, no 4 days in this world before you have to leave?" White Depth Field asked.

"Ah, you're right. I do not have time to waste," Ning said. "Still… it feels a little awkward."

By the time Ning arrived in the neighborhood that System marked, it was already 7 o'clock in the morning. The highways were starting to get packed, but fortunately, Ning and the others were quite far away from the highway.

Ning drove through the maze-like streets before arriving in front of a modest-looking house with a small gate at the front.

Ning got off the car and went up to the gate. He saw a doorbell to the side and, with some hesitation, pressed it.

He heard the ringing in the house and waited. However, when he didn't see anyone walk out, he rang it again.

And again.

By the 4th time, he thought something was wrong and was about to enter when the door opened and a girl walked out.

She was a young adult that was about the same height as him. She had long hair that was surprisingly red and seemed as if she had woken up just yet. She was also wearing some sort of pajamas, so Ning wondered if he woke her up perhaps.

She opened the gate harshly and asked, "What?"

"Um, this is Tae Min Ki's house right?" Ning asked.

"Yeah, so?" she asked.

"Then you must be Tae Hi-Ah?" he asked.

"What are you? Some sort of salesman? Why do you know our names? We don't want to buy anything, so goodbye," she said as she slammed the gate back.

However, Ning placed his hands before the gate could fully close. "My apologies," he said. "My name is Ning Ruogong. I am the son of Tae Myung-Hee."

"What am I supposed to do with learning your mother's na—" the girl paused mid-rant before looking at him suspiciously. "Wait for a second," she said and quickly walked back to the house.

"Father! Father!" she shouted. "Father!"

"What?" a voice came from deep inside the house. The girl quickly went up and Ning saw nothing else. He chose to see nothing else.

A moment later, a man clearly in his 50s walked down with a wrinkly face and a bald head. His hair around his temples was also starting to turn gray.

He wasn't overweight, but he wasn't fit either. The man seemed to be hungover, but even so his eyes were wide awake as he appeared by the gate.

For a full minute, he did nothing but stare at Ning with wide eyes. Then, he finally spoke.

"You have your mother's eyes for sure," the man said.

"Hello, uncle," Ning greeted back.

"So he's really your missing sister's son?" the girl asked.

"Yes, he is. Look at us. Don't we look similar?" the old man said.

"Uhh… kinda, I guess," the girl said.

"Nephew, where's your mother? Is she in the car outside? Why did that damn girl not contact us for so many years?" his Uncle asked.

"I'm sorry, Uncle. Mother and father both died over 15 years ago," Ning said.

"… what?" the old man's happy face suddenly lost all expression. The girl also couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

"Your mother… is she really?" the old man asked.

"Yes," Ning said.

"How?"

"A car accident," Ning replied.

"We… we thought she might have died in the dungeon break if anything… but to think it had been so much before that," his Uncle shook his head as his eyes filled with tears.

"What about your older brother? Is he alive?" his Uncle asked.

"Older brother? No, I'm their only child," Ning said.

"What? What about their first child?" the uncle asked.

"I am that child," Ning said. "I look young, but I'm their first and only child," Ning said.

"I see," the old man said. "Who've you been staying with after your parents died? Did your father have any brothers or sisters?"

"No, I had no family members, so I stayed in the Orphanage until I was 18," Ning said.

"Aaissh… you must've suffered, dear Nephew," the old man said. "Come on in, let us talk more inside."

"Ah, my friend is waiting outside. Is it okay to call him as well?" Ning asked.

"Ah, yes, yes," the Uncle said.

Ning quickly walked out and called White Depth Field inside. As for Saphandra, she hid inside Ning's clothes, viewing the outside world quietly.

His cousin couldn't help but show a wide eye full of shock when she saw the golden-haired White Depth Field walk through the gate.

"Hello, I am Tae Hi-Ah," she greeted.

White Depth Field, however, couldn't speak Korean so he looked toward Ning.

"Ah, sorry about that. He only understands Korean a little, but can't speak it. He is called White Field. I'm accompanying him on his tour of various different places," Ning said.

"Oh, I see," Tae Hi-Ah made a disappointed face.

Ning walked into the house and was surprised to see how old it was. He didn't say anything regarding that, but he did say something about the messy plates and beer bottles that were around the house.

"You must have partied quite a bit last night," he said with a chuckle.

"Ah, yes. Hi-Ah finally became an A-ranked mage, so we partied last night," his Uncle said.

"Oh, rank A?" Ning was surprised. Even his system didn't know that for some reason. He was sure she was B-ranked. "The intelligence agency I used to find out about you guys said that cousin Hi-Ah was still just B-ranked. He must've given me older information."

"Ah, no," the Uncle said. "She is still officially a B-ranked, but she grew enough for her skills to reach Rank A. So, after today's test, she will officially become an A-ranked mage."

"I see," Ning said. "Then I must congratulate you for that, cousin. I would give you a gift, but I'm not sure what you would like, so you will have to wait."

"No, no, I don't need anything," she said.

"I heard I had another cousin too. Where is he?" Ning asked.

"He went to work early in the morning. Rank C doesn't have as much freedom as Rank B or A after all," Tae Hi-Ah said.

"I see," Ning said. "And what about grandmother?"

His cousin and uncle stopped walking as they turned around with a face that did not have any good news.
