The Federation remained a unified organization even after the Parasites perished. The wounds left by the prolonged war were too deep for anyone to return to normal life immediately. The heads of all races agreed that it would be mutually beneficial to all of them if they supported each other, both financially and emotionally, until all groups could function independently of each other again. This was how the Half Century Treaty came to be. A considerable amount of time had passed since then. Not…-

Same time. On Earth, Seol Jihu’s family was having a meal outside. It was a famous naengmyeon restaurant with 60 years of history and was also the only place in Korea that Seol Jihu acknowledged as having tasty naengmyeon. “Eating this reminds me of Jihu.” Seol Wooseok murmured while eating Pyongyang-style naengmyeon after pork galbi. “Why?” Seol Jinhee, who was digging into a naengmyeon bowl of her own, raised her head and asked. “You know, his love for naengmyeon is…

On a warm, sunny day, Seo Yuhui stopped by a cafe near a college campus early in the morning. Though she did not have any plans of going out today, something had suddenly come up. She would have refused and enjoyed a fun time with Seol Jihu, but couldn’t reject the meeting request due to the special identity of the person calling her. After all, she thought it was something she had to do eventually. “Welcome.” Yoo Seonhwa, who was cleaning a table, greeted her with a bright smile. “Take…

Seol Jihu and Seo Yuhui returned to Paradise four days later. Valhalla’s members could not hide their shock at the sight of them walking out of the temple. The bags under Seol Jihu’s sunken eyes were dark. He was noticeably thinner and could even be described as fragile. What’s more, he seemed to be having difficulty walking and was helped by both Seo Yuhui and the Spear of Purity, which he was using as a cane. It was like watching a zombie. On the other hand, Seo Yuhui looked extremely…

Ba-thump, ba-thump, ba-thump. Seol Jihu’s heart was racing faster than ever before. As he walked up the stairs step by step, his lower stomach churned, and his knees wobbled. But why? Seol Jihu couldn’t figure out why he was so nervous. Perhaps it was because they were on Earth? This was the first time they were together as two ordinary people rather than two Earthlings. Seol Jihu had definitely met up with Seo Yuhui a few times on Earth before... but this was the first time they would be…

After the fall of the Parasites, Seol Jihu’s name was unsurprisingly the most talked-about in Paradise. Regardless of what kind of a person he was, it was an undeniable truth that he was the one who defeated the Parasite Queen, thereby setting a feat that would be recorded in the annals of Paradise for ages to come. The Sky Fairies praised his heroic feat in the form of a song, and historians added many flowery words to describe Seol Jihu’s legendary triumph. Of course, Seol Jihu wasn’t the…

It started out like any other day. He woke up in the morning, opened the restaurant, sold ramen with Baek Haeju and Seo Yuhui, and prepared to close for the day when the sun set. But his routine was altered when a customer arrived. The small bell attached to the door chimed as the door opened. “I’m sorry, but we’re closed for—” ‘...the day,’ was what Seol Jihu was about to say, but stopped when he saw the man standing in the doorway. The man in a black suit and sunglasses closed the…

Time flew. To be more precise, exactly one year passed since the day the Parasite Queen perished. There was no way that such an important day would not be celebrated for hundreds or even thousands of years to come. All kingdoms agreed on designating it a day of celebration. Though they tried to name it Seol Jihu Day, they had to change the name to Liberation Day following Seol Jihu’s threat, ‘You can do that if you want Paradise to see the coming of a demon lord that succeeds the Parasite…

Several months passed since the treaty was signed. Paradise was enjoying a well-deserved peace. The Federation and humanity were heading toward a better future without any big incidents or quarrels. Well, there was one incident. It was a rather big one that raised quite a bit of commotion in Paradise. It was Seol Jihu retiring from Valhalla. He did not retire from Paradise. Not long after the Half Century Treaty was signed, Seol Jihu resigned as Valhalla’s representative and left the…

Both sides had staked everything on this final war. It was a fierce war, one that resulted in numerous casualties. The blood spilled was enough to form a lake, but in the end, Seol Jihu’s spear prevailed and pierced the Parasite Queen. And the Federation and humanity triumphed over the Parasites. The threat of the Parasites, which lasted more than two decades, a period long enough for a newborn baby to grow into an adult, was finally gone forever. Those liberated from years of intimidation and…
