Onerous [Lookism Fanfic]

Chapter 2: I really didn't turn back the time.

Finally, just before the car came to a complete halt, the screen left by Nine is now silent and is resting beside him. Park Seo-Jun can now finally see what was in front of him.

'Wow.' Small gasps left his mouth as the car halted in front of an enormous black gate that's reflecting the setting sun's rays. Park Seo-Jun knew that this gate was very expensive as it looked like those sparkling black diamonds. His eyes couldn't move away from the gate. Park Seo-Jun had never seen anything like this in his past life nor can he dream of something like this exist in his past life.

The bodyguard stopped the car in front of the black gates, he opened his window and pressed the intercom. Huiss, who's sitting in the shotgun seat of the car, turned his attention to the young man sitting in the back to check on him and he saw the young man looking at the gates with great curiosity. The young man flinched when the gates opened while muttering something like "It moves?!". Looks like the young man still had his child side and Huiss never considered it bad. Huiss smiled benignly at the young man as he carefully called his attention.

"Young master Park Seo-Jun, I am Huiss, a butler of the Park household." Huiss stopped to bow his head to the young boy in the passenger seat. The boy was certainly puzzled but he was calmly looking at him.

"This is Tel, a bodyguard of the Park household." Huiss introduced the guy beside him. The driver turned his attention to the yong man and also bowed. Park Seo-Jun didn't know what to do so he also bowed to them. He then earned a chuckle from the butler as he smiled benignly again.

"The young master should not bow his head to others so easily, especially to his servants."

"Servants?" Park Seo-Jun couldn't believe what he was hearing at that moment. He didn't panic, he's calmly thinking since his system, Nine, is still not back.

The butler smiled at him and with his gentle voice, he had just confirmed Park Seo-Jun's theory about his identity in this world.

"Young master Park Seo-Jun is the missing son of the late Chairman of the Park Industries and the younger brother of the current Chairman."

Park Seo-Jun couldn't utter a word after that, he couldn't believe it. Just what is this current identity he has? He knew from the game that the world of Lookism, especially in the main setting of the game, Jaewon High, is mostly filled with rich people and fighters.

'But this kind of background for a mere unknown character, is it really necessary?' Park Seo-Jun wondered. He's feeling conflicted right now. He just got lucky that he was transported here moments before his death and even acquired the favor of the system. But besides that, he's simply a poor orphan who experienced hardships early in life. With this transmigration, he had no idea why his identity had to be changed so drastically in favor of someone like him.

'Honestly this feels like a scam. It's too good to be true.' Park Seo-Jun remained silent as the car traveled the elevated clean pathway made of asphalt situated in the middle of the lush green forest.

'Come to think of it, where are they taking me?' Park Seo-Jun felt like this question came too late. He chuckled inwardly in his own stupidity. He silently wished that Nine should come back early before he flopped everything due to his ignorance with these expensive routines of rich people.

[Player Park Seo-Jun! Nine is back!]

The unmoving screen earlier with white background suddenly hovered around him and flickered in blue. Park Seo-Jun smiled at Nine at that moment as he whispered, "Welcome back Nine."

[Nine is baaaack! Did you miss Nine? Because I miss Player Park Seo-Jun!]

'What an energetic system...' Park Seo-Jun couldn't help but chuckle at Nine's cute behavior.
