Though he had been full of expectations, Karlstein could not help but be disappointed.
[I’mThePirateKing: you telling to wait?]
{RulerofDawn: There’s no need to be hasty. Please be a little more patient.]
He had participated in similar gatherings before. It was also the day he recruited Selena. The difference this ti was that it was a bit more cautious and secretive.
Not that it would matter once his main account started working again.
[I’mThePirateKing: do I really gotta wait?]
{RulerofDawn: The gathering will be held a month from now.]
How ticulous. Not easily falling for provocations either. Though this made him even more curious… as soone who wanted to alleviate his boredom, it was quite deflating for Karlstein.
Alrighty then. Whatever you people are, I’ll make good use of you.
Ending the conversation with RulerofDawn, Karlstein made a ntal commitnt that would make the other party faint in terror.
Hah. Let’s see what you’ve got.
Fortunately, he did have sothing to do while waiting for the gathering.
Karlstein realized that this dark space where nothing could be seen was within his ntal landscape.
That being the case…
Karlstein began to concentrate on observing his ntal landscape.
Thump-
Thump-
He faintly heard a heartbeat, despite being in a bodiless state.
Karlstein maintained his focus without relaxing.
Thump-
Thump-
Fwrrsh-
The sound beca an image, starting to take a concrete form in his ntal landscape. It was not particularly difficult since he had done it before.
It’s a heart after all… I guess?
A burning, pulsating black heart manifested in his ntal landscape. Karlstein realized that this heart represented Kaira’s transcendent power.
Kaira’s power, a burning heart in the ntal landscape.
Delroa’s power, a giant eyeball in the ntal landscape.
Of course, he could not manifest Delroa’s power, probably because he was in hibernation.
Now I just need to make this heart mine and fuse its power with Delroa’s.
Even Karlstein did not know how long it would take.
But it’s a process I must complete.
While it was clear that any normal human would go mad in this process, fortunately, that did not apply to him. Even if it was uncertain whether he could handle the power of two Single Numbers…
I can’t let their sacrifices be in vain.
He would manage it sohow.
Karlstein gradually imrsed himself in observing, dissecting, and controlling the heart.
Thump-
As ti passed, the heart’s form beca more concrete, and now he could even do this—
Tsss-
Karlstein drew a single spark from the burning black heart.
Fwrsh-
The black fla was neither hot nor cold, but Karlstein did not let his guard down.
Hoo…
The black fla seed to embody the viscous, maddening vitality of Kaiju. As it subsided, a small speck remained within.
Thump- Fwrsh-
As Karlstein focused on the tiny speck against the backdrop of the burning heart.
Writhe-
The speck began to divide, replicate, and gradually grow larger.
Writhe-
Finally, it grew into a lump of flesh about the size of a fist. An infinite vitality condensed within it could be felt.
Hoo…
Kaira’s power was not limited to rely recovery. It was a power that controlled life force itself, similar to creation.
Considering how it had produced nurous Double Numbering entities, this current level was utterly insignificant. Still…
It’s easier than before.
Was it because of his experience with Delroa? It was much easier to handle compared to the past.
Hoo…
But it was still difficult to control.
Karlstein took more black flas from the heart and covered the flesh with it.
Fwrsh- Fwrrsh-
Eventually, though lacking in detail, it began to take on a form resembling a human body.
Karlstein felt cold sweat forming, despite not having a physical body.
It’s not easy, but it’s definitely doable.
Good. More.
More refined. Clearer. Stronger.
Karlstein lost track of ti.
Fwrsh-
Looking at the body borne of black flas, he was confident of his success.
He had created nothing but a single body…
I can’t see the limits of its life force.
But his creation contained imnse potential.
The practice was worth it, haha.
With practice, even handling transcendent powers beca more familiar. Though Aria viewed this process as very dangerous and did not recomnd it.
But to hunt all the other Single Numbers in the future, I need to get used to it.
Karlstein entered the body he had created in his ntal landscape.
Thump.
Separate from the burning black heart behind him, he could feel a heart beating in his chest.
Although there were so aspects that fell short of a human body…
Thump.
The imnse life force had the power to make the impossible possible.
He checked for any abnormalities by moving his body.
Ohh.
Though crude compared to his original body, the infinite vitality borne of transcendent power certainly was impressive.
If I refine it a bit more…
But as Karlstein was rejoicing in this small success—
Pzt- Pzzt-
He heard the sound of an opening spatial rift.
Huh? A rift?
This was inside his ntal landscape. It should not be possible.
At that mont, sothing suddenly appeared as space shattered before his eyes.
“You…?”
Peek-
Wriggle wriggle.
The thing that squeezed through the spatial gap was struggling, kicking its legs to pull itself out.
When he helped a little by manipulating the ntal landscape.
Pop-
A platinum-colored egg popped out.
“After sleeping for so long…?”
Karlstein was truly bewildered. This was evidently not a physical space, but a ntal world. Naturally, it should be impossible for others to co and go here.
Scurry-
The platinum-colored egg had small baby legs and small platinum-colored wings on its back.
The egg approached the body Karlstein had created for practice, rubbing against it and fluttering its wings.
What in the…
People commonly blanked out upon witnessing sothing impossible. Karlstein was in a similar state right now.
“How…”
Wriggle wriggle-
How? There was no point in questioning an egg that could not even speak.
Karlstein subconsciously picked up the platinum-colored egg.
Co to think of it, isn’t this thing connected to Prohiden?
“What the heck are—“
At that mont, a dazzling light burst from the egg.
Flash-
His vision changed completely.
***
“Ugh…”
Karlstein’s head throbbed.
“What’s going on…”
Upon barely regaining his senses, he looked around and gaped in bewildernt.
“This is…”
A tiny, cramped room. A stuffy sll that hinted at daily life.
Though sowhat organized, the untidy surroundings left Karlstein speechless. The space was too familiar. Especially when he saw the books scattered on the bed, his mind could not keep up.
Galactic Heroes Chronicles, a novel series consisting of 52 volus in 4 parts.
He turned to look at his reflection in the half-broken full-length mirror.
Black hair. Black eyes. A toned body. Handso features.
…?
While the reflection clearly matched the appearance of Karlstein, he montarily hesitated to call it *himself—*he could not rember what he looked like in his previous life.
The confusion in his eyes showed how hard it was to take in this situation.
But then a thought struck him.
Th-this isn’t the ti to be confused.
Karlstein hastily put on so clothes and rushed out of the room.
Thud.
The scene outside the door matched the mories of his previous life.
The place his feet unconsciously led him to, the place he reached using his tireless body… was Hanmaeum Hospital.
With trembling hands, he opened the main entrance and quickened his pace.
Building B, Room 404.
Click-
“Soyeon!”
He burst into the hospital room. Though he could not rember his own na from his previous life, he could not forget the na Soyeon.
Swish-
His eyes trembled as he violently pushed aside the privacy curtain.
Beep- Bee-beep-
“Soyeon?”
The bed where soone should have been, with a respirator attached, was empty.
Suddenly…
“Who are you to have co here…?”
A nurse entered through the open door, cautiously throwing a question.
Karlstein could not answer. His mind was too confused.
“Huh? Patient Soyeon…?”
He could sympathize with the nurse’s confusion behind him. After all, Soyeon, his only sister, could not leave the hospital bed on her own.
Bee-beep- Bee-beep-
Moreover, the respirator, IV, and catheter were scattered about, having lost their purpose. If Soyeon had left the bed with soone’s help, these aids would not be scattered like this.
“Excuse ! Did you perhaps see patient Soyeon…?”
Karlstein had no ti to answer the nurse’s questions.
Where on earth…?
Pausing for a mont, he took in the situation with newfound clarity.
The life he had abandoned—the one he thought was lost forever, even by the standards of science fiction—lay before him once more. All this ti, he had been too scared to even think about his sister, burying her deep within his heart.
And yet, from all appearances, even the ti period seed unchanged from the mont he had transmigrated.
But the problem here… was that his sister, Soyeon, was nowhere to be found.
Just as he was about to leave, sothing caught his eye.
Why is that…?
Galactic Heroes Chronicles. Had Soyeon read that?
But finding her was the most urgent—
Karlstein ca to a standstill as he was about to turn and leave. Sothing out of place flashed through his mind.
Volu 53…?
He was certain that CGH was only published up to volu 52 in 4 parts. There could not be a volu 53.
CGH was not sothing he could overlook, being the original work of the world he transmigrated into.

Karlstein hurriedly picked up volu 53. As he began to read it, his eyes trembled violently as if caught in a storm.
“What is this…”
He could not believe his /genesisforsaken
