Infinite System Inheritor Return From The Abyss

Chapter 120: Chapter 120: Let's find her

Huno sat in front of Seojun's door, his eyes fixed on the handle as if willing it to open. His tail was low, and his ears twitched with every small noise. He whimpered softly, his worry clear.

Alex noticed Huno's posture and walked over, taking a seat beside the large dog. He gently petted Huno's head.

"It's a good thing you seem to understand the situation," Alex murmured. "Don't worry. Seojun is a strong guy."

Huno whimpered again, a low, mournful sound. Alex sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "I might be dumb, talking to a ordinary dog," he muttered, "but if you sense Seojun is about to do something… bark at us, okay?"

To Alex's surprise, Huno nodded, a slow, deliberate motion. Alex blinked, a mix of shock and sadness crossing his face. "Thank you for staying with Seojun,I'll go get you some food."

Alex gave him a final pat and headed toward the kitchen, leaving Alexa on the sofa, her eyes still fixed on Seojun's closed door.

Huno lay down, resting his head on his paws, but his eyes never left the door. 'Father, what will happen to Master?' Huno spoke, his voice trembling with concern.

[It's taking too long for the Goddess to respond. Just stay on guard. We can't let Seojun fall into despair.]

'Yes, Father,' Huno replied, his ears flattening against his head. 'I hope Master will be okay soon.' He whimpered again,

He listened to the sounds around him—the faint clatter of dishes from the kitchen, Alexa's quiet breathing, and the unnerving silence from the room beyond the door. Huno stayed vigilant, ready to act if his beloved Master needed him.

Alex returned from the kitchen with a bowl of food, carefully setting it down in front of Huno. "Here you go, buddy," he said softly, trying to sound cheerful. "You need to eat. Seojun would want you to take care of yourself, too."

Huno stared at the bowl, his ears flat, not moving a muscle. His tail remained still, and he gave the food only a passing glance before turning his gaze back to the door.

"Come on, Huno," crouching down beside him. "You have to eat. Seojun's going to need you, and you can't help him on an empty stomach."

Huno let out a low whimper,

Alex sighed and tried again. "Look, I know you're worried about him. We all are," stroking Huno's fur. "But Seojun needs you strong. If you don't eat, you won't be able to help him when he comes out of there."

Huno lowered his head, still refusing to eat. 'How can I eat when my Master is suffering?' He thought,

Alex continued, "I know it's hard. I've known Seojun, and he's always been strong, always fought through everything. This… this is different, but he'll come back to us. You just have to trust him."

Huno glanced up at Alex, his eyes softening for a moment. He nudged the bowl with his nose, but still didn't take a bite.

"Please, Huno," Alex urged gently. "For Seojun. Eat something, so you have the strength to help him. He needs you more than ever now."

Huno hesitated, then slowly leaned down and took a small bite, chewing slowly. Alex smiled a little, relieved. "That's it, good boy," he said softly. "I know it's hard, but we've got to stay strong. For him."

Huno swallowed and took another bite, but his thoughts remained on Seojun. 'I'll eat… but only so I can be ready when he needs me,' Huno thought. 'Master… please, come back to us soon.' stay-updated-with-MVLeMpYr

Morning arrived, but Seojun's door remained closed. He hadn't come out. Huno lay by the door all night, his eyes fixed on it, waiting.

Suddenly, the system's voice broke the silence. [Seojun is gone.]

Huno jumped to his feet immediately, his ears perked up. 'Gone? Where did he go?'

[We need to find him, now,]

Huno didn't waste a second. He dashed toward the front door just as Alexa opened it to receive a delivery. She was distracted, signing for the package, and didn't notice Huno slipping through the gap, his movements swift and determined.

Alex called from inside, "Who is it?"

"Just the delivery," Alexa replied, shutting the door without realizing Huno had escaped.

Outside, Huno ran as fast as his legs could carry him, his heart pounding with urgency. [We've got news: his mother is alive. We must take her to Seojun,] the system's voice guided him.

"Let's get her!"Huno thought, racing through the crowded streets. He dodged people and cars, narrowly missing a bicycle that swerved out of his way. His senses were sharp, focused on the path ahead, and he followed the system's directions, his paws barely touching the ground.

Meanwhile, on a distant rooftop, Seojun stood alone, gazing out at the city below. The wind tugged at his clothes, his hair whipped around his face. His eyes were empty, his shoulders slumped. He spoke to the wind, his voice breaking, "I survived 500 years just to see you again, Mom... but why didn't you wait for me?"

His voice was choked with pain. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he gazed out, feeling the weight of his loss crushing him. "I came back for you… and now you're gone."

"You were the only family I had… and you didn't even wait for me."

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, as the tears welled up again in his eyes. "How can I ever forgive myself for leaving you alone? For not being there when you needed me most…"

He felt the sting of his own words, the rawness of the emotions tearing through him like a storm. "You did everything for me, gave up everything… and I didn't even get the chance to repay you… to tell you how much you meant to me."

Seojun stood on the edge of the rooftop, feeling the cold metal railing beneath his feet. The city stretched far below him, a blur of buildings and people. The wind whipped around him, tugging at his clothes and hair.

He spread his arms, taking a deep breath, and looked down at the ground far below.

He felt a calmness take over, as if the wind was inviting him to let go. The world tilted as he leaned forward, his eyes closing.

With one last breath, he stepped off the edge.
