Ning, Ely, Blue, and Night arrived on earth, on the same island where Ning had previously been when he killed Stryxus.
It was nighttime, there was no sun to light up the world around them, not that they needed it anyway.
"Are we here?" Ely asked as she looked around. All worlds looked the same with the difference usually being the people living in it, so Ely couldn't really tell if they had in fact come back to earth.
"Yes, we are here," Ning said as he looked around. "How do you guys feel? Any uncomfortable feelings? The Qi here is not as strong, so…"
"No, I feel fine. I don't really have any problem," Ely said. "The Qi is indeed quite thin, so it may take a lot of time to cultivate if I ever do use it up, but I don't think I will have to, will I?"
"No," Ning said. "Especially since you are physically very strong as well." He looked at his two beasts as well. "And you two?"
"I'm fine, master," Blue said.
"I feel fine as well," Night said.
"Great," Ning said. "Now, take your human form if you can, which you should."
The two beasts nodded and slowly changed into their human form. Blue changed into the bare-chested, blue-haired, blue-eyed champion of the fighting arena where he had remained for the longest time before Ning took him back.
Night changed to a young man with a black robe and long black hair that seemed to light up in a fire at the ends. His pupils were pitch black, while his face was stark white, giving him a deathly look.
Ning dabbed out the fires on his shoulders with no damage to his own hand. "Don't keep these fires around you. They are dangerous. These people here are mostly mortals, so you have to be careful," he said.
"I'll keep that in mind, master," Night said.
"Also, make sure to remember the rules I taught you all. It is very important that you stay in line here so you don't get out of line," Ning said.
"What happens if we get out of line? Are there people here strong enough to stop us?" Blue asked.
"No, but it will cause me a headache, that's for sure," Ning said. "Just don't hurt people unless they are trying to hurt you back," Ning said.
He turned around to find Ely with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face. Ning was a little surprised. "Honey? Why are you crying?" he asked.
Ely quickly wiped the tears off her face. "I just saw my brother," she said. "I can't believe he really is still alive."
Ning couldn't help but smile when hearing that. "Wanna go meet him?" he asked.
"No, not right now," she said. "He seems to be busy with his guild work. I will go meet him once it is tomorrow for him."
"That works too," Ning said. "Then let us go visit my family first."
Ning didn't even have to teleport with them. All 3 of them could fly with him and arrive in Korea in less than 10 minutes.
It was evening time in South Korea at the moment, so it was just the right time to go back home.
They were so fast in the sky that South Korea's aerospace defense didn't even realize they had entered. They were systems put in place to warn against super-fast missiles, and the four of them were able to avoid it.
Ning flew over to his Uncle's house and landed in front of it. He rang the doorbell and walked inside just as people were starting to walk out.
"Brother?" Jung-Hee couldn't help but get excited when he saw him. "Are you back?"
"Jung-Hee, how has it been?" Ning said as he walked in. Ely, Night, and Blue walked in as well, a little curious about how Ning's family would be.
"Brother, I've missed you!" Jung-Hee cried and ran in front to hug him. But Ning stopped him before he got too close and patted his shoulders instead.
"I'm sure you've only missed the mana stones you could get from me," he said.
"N-no way. I really did miss you," Jung-Hee said, but it was clear he wasn't trying to hide the fact that it was really the mana stones that he wanted.
He looked behind him and saw the 3 foreigners. His eyes fell on all 3 of them, ending on Ely. "Gasp! Wait, is she?"
"Yes," Ning said. "Let's go in. I will introduce her to everyone."
"Yes," Jung-Hee said. "Sister-in-law, please come in."
Ely smiled and said "Thank you" in perfect Korean, surprising Jung-Hee.
"Woah, you can speak such good Korean. Are you sure you're foreign?" Jung-Hee couldn't help but ask.
"I'm certain I am," Ely said.
Ning continued walking in and saw Hi-Ah, who was coming out to check on just who had come for her brother to shout this much.
"Oh, cousin. You're back?" Hi-Ah said with a surprised face. "When did you come back?"
"10 minutes ago," Ning said. "And I've brought people."
"Hmm?" she looked behind him to see the 3 people. "Jung-Hee, it's cold out here. Don't go on talking out here."
"Oh, sorry," he said. "Please come in."
All of them entered the house, and Ning could already hear the cartoon playing in the TV.
Saphandra realized that Ning had come back as well and couldn't help but shout. "Ning!"
Ning turned around to look at her and Sorlus who were on the couch together. "Hey! I'm back you guys," he said.
Jung-Hee went to call his father, and along with him their Grandmother. In less than a minute, everyone in the house was gathered.
"Everyone, this is Elenora Rigot, my wife," Ning spoke out loud to introduce her.
Ely walked forward and bowed a little to greet everyone. "Hello, I'm Elenora. You can call me Ely. I'm very pleased to have finally met you all," she said.
They all remained quiet for a second before Ning's Uncle spoke. "Welcome to the family, child."
