At the bottom of the special communicator, there were Mom and Dad.
They had not sent many messages. Almost every few days, they simply asked whether his training was going well, seemingly worried that contacting him too frequently might disturb him.
Zich remained silent for a moment, and with a single thought, he wished to leave the Ascension Mountain.
When he opened his eyes, he was back in the real world.
The moment Lorraine, who was in the kitchen, heard some sounds upstairs, her eyes lit up.
"Zich, is that you?"
"Yes, Mom, I'm back," he replied, slowly descending the stairs.
Even before he could properly step down, he felt a pair of arms wrap around him in a warm embrace.
"I thought it was just supposed to be simple summoning training. Why did you take so long? And you didn't pick up your communicator. I almost thought it was broken."
