What happens When Danny Gets Lost?: Haitus, currently not in the Fandom

Summary:

It's been noted that Jasmine Fenton tends to keep an eye on Danny when he's in the Ghost Zone... Today, however...

Well... Danny decided to get lost on purpose, sort of.

Slow, sporadic updates

Notes:

This was all vote created in a server. Don't like it, don't read it.

Don't beg for chapters.

Also, on another note, I hope you do like something new from me. I haven't written in a couple of months due to reading manhwa/manhua and playing with Talkie.ai

For those who will enjoy this, thank you and I welcome criticism, but I don't welcome bitching, remember those comments get deleted :3

Drink plenty of water, have a good day or night!

For people who haven't watched anime, read the manhwa, or even seen the game Solo Leveling. I'll explain in a short summary how I explained to a friend.

Alright, basically that dude right there was the weakest human. A hunter is someone who is granted powers to go into dungeons to fight monsters. He got a system which allowed him to grow faster by leveling. Hence the name Solo Leveling. He became the weakest hunter to the strongest by summoning the dead. He's like the God of Death in his universe, he was also a necromancer who basically got strong enough to be something else. If I'm missing anything else, please if you're an SL fan explain to our newbies who came from DCU and DP fanbase in the comments, I would appreciate it :3 <3

Which is why I was thinking that this would go really well with Danny Phantom. I would like to also say, this is not regular DCU in it. Characters from DJL will be mentioned more than JL. I also did not promise to make this a strictly DCU/DP. In the voting, I gave 4 choices. The fourth choice was Danny no explanations.

Chapter 1

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

He really should have looked at those doors more closely before entering one. Honestly, the door looked great. Big, powerful, and purple. Lots of purple. So, yeah... Well, Clocky would know where he is, but he was found by this really cool man and he's somehow thirteen again.

Let it be known; he doesn't really think things through and when he does it sometimes goes to shit. But he can also say despite being half dead, this man isn't freaking out and he feels like him, but older and so much cooler. He accidentally called him dad. The older man had a bewildered look, but then he laughed and rubbed his head. He's been learning Korean slowly. So far, he can say Appa, Eomma, Hyung, Nuna, Gomo, and Halmoni.

He also... doesn't want to leave. It's not like his life was bad in his home universe; he's just a bored kid who stopped aging and growing. But here, he's growing, slowly. His new dad tends to treat him like a child, but also like a young adult able to make his own decisions. He likes being taken care of.

Jazz did an amazing job, but she was a kid, too. It's nice being taken care of by an adult. But now, she's married with the worst choice of man out there that somehow treats her like a queen.

He really likes his gomo and halmoni. His aunt plays with him along with some of his dad's summons, and his older brother is fun, too if not a little bit of a snot breath. He's not as good as Jazz, but he's slowly accepting his new family. He especially really likes it when his mom and dad take him and his older brother out for a fun night out. He's eaten so much good food. Sometimes it's really spicy, other times it's really sweet. But he loves the fried chicken! His hyung made fun of him when he ate the fried chicken for the first time. He said he looked like a stuffed-up squirrel. He pranked his older brother for that.

That doesn't mean he's not allowed to see his actual family. He was originally in his twenties and extremely fed up with how his life was going. So, he just wanted to be young again and experience a childhood with parents who are attentive, and he has an older brother, another mom, another dad, an aunt, so many uncles, and grandma. Clocky gave him a mirror to check in on his family and speak to them whenever he wanted to. He just did it less and less, but Jazz knows he still loves her a lot. Even if she's married to a turd monkey.

Sure, he's in middle school again and his hyung is in high school, but it's actually fun. Learning and trying to make his new family be proud of him for taking the steps forward. He knows his older brother is having issues trying to figure out who he wants to be in life and that's why he's always playing pranks on him or even getting his dad's summons help with the pranks. Yeah, he's enjoying his second chance of a childhood.

--------------

When he first arrived in this world, he had been de-aged to six years old, and he literally fell on top of his dad's wyvern's head. He remembered his dad being startled and the wyvern, too. He almost flew off that thing with the speed it was going. He was lucky his dad caught him. It was strange seeing his dad for the first time. He was so powerful and somewhat scary for his young mind, but he was also really, really cool.

Technically, being a baby ghost, he imprinted on the older man as a parent. That surprised him even more. His dad rarely shows emotions, except for family and his summons. But it was entertaining because of how he reacted when he thinks about it now that's he somewhat older.

When his dad brought him home. His mom had gotten confused, and his dad had sighed. Like a heavy, deep sigh that came from his soul. It was funny in its own way. His older brother was happy though, oddly excited that he got a younger brother.

He was then slowly introduced to all of his dad's summons, friends, aunts, uncles, and a lot of other people. He was also tested as a hunter, but his dad and mom both said he wasn't allowed to go hunting on he was at least sixteen. Which unfair.

--------------

"Sung Daewon! You're going to be late if you stay in bed any longer!" Chae Hae-in banged on her youngest son's bedroom door as she tried to wake him up. She sighed when she heard a loud noise coming from his room and giggled softly as she moved back to the kitchen. Suho snickered as he ate his breakfast and rolled his eyes when Daewon's fluffy bedhead emerged from behind his door.

Danny yawned as he stretched and sat opposite of his hyung. Chae Hae-in rolled her eyes as she smiled and placed a plate in front of her youngest son who smiled sleepily and leaned into his mother's touch. Jinwoo stumbled into the kitchen and sat next to eldest as he looked up at Chae Hae-in when she placed another plate in front of him. Danny pretended gag when his parents kissed, and Suho made a disgusted face. "Daewon, are you ready for your mock exams today?" Suho turned to his dongsaeng.

Daewon let his eggs fall from his fork as he looked at the clock on his phone before getting up quickly and putting on his shoes as he ran out the door quickly, calling back with, "Thanks for breakfast, eomma! Thanks for reminding me, hyung!"

Chae-in giggled as she slowly ate her own breakfast, "I wonder who he gets that from."

Jinwoo smiled as he shrugged, "Must be my younger years." Suho snickered before finishing his own breakfast and bidding his parents goodbye to head to his high school.

--------------

Danny often switched between both his Korean name and his American name, especially in his thoughts. 'Daewon' was a name chosen by his hyung when he first arrived, it made things easier he had to admit.

He grinned when he saw a couple of his friends down the street as he ran up to them and wrapped his arms around their shoulders. "So, who's ready for the mock exam?"

His friend, Kim Hajin sighed as he pouted and curled into himself, "No way! I'm pretty sure I'm going to be in the top 100's again. No one is like you, Sung Daewon."

His other friend, Lee Yuri giggled as she looked between her two best friends, "Sung Daewon is just a special noodle."

Danny looked at his friends with narrowed eyes, "I feel like I was just insulted. Besides, I gave you plenty of notes to study from, Kim Hajin." Kim Hajin grinned as he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. Danny sighed as he rolled his eyes, "At least try to get into the top 50's." Lee Yuri made a noise of agreement.

Kim Hajin pouted as he curled up his upper lip, "Ganged up by my two best friends. The tragedy." Danny and Lee Yuri burst into laughter as all three of them walked past the school gate into the school courtyard to head to the lockers to switch their outdoor shoes with indoor shoes.

-------------

Around lunch time, Danny got a call from Jazz via the mirror and left to hang out on the school's roof to answer it. He grinned as he looked at the mirror only for it to fall short, "Oh, it's you. Bastard."

John sighed as he rolled his eyes, "Listen brat. Jazz had our daughter. You're an uncle. She gave birth a few hours ago."

"You knocked up my sister?" Danny's eyes widened in surprise.

John facepalmed himself, "Is that all you got from you being an uncle?"

Danny grinned as he shrugged, "Nah, I got that part. A niece, huh. That's awesome! Be sure to send a picture sometime."

John nodded as he hung up. Danny blew a raspberry as he sat on roof and put the mirror in his pocket. "Hey, Igris." He knew his dad put one of the shadows in his own as to protect and sense if they were in danger. His hyung had Beru in his own shadow.

Igris barely came out of his little lord's shadow and tilted his head, "Yes, little lord?"

Danny smiled, "I'm an uncle... I wish I was there, but I enjoy being here, too. Is that selfish of me?"

Igris shook his head, "Not at all, little lord. You are growing here and all of us, shadows care for you as much as we care for the young lord."

He nodded as he smiled wistfully and stood up to stretch his arms out before heading back into the school. Igris hid in his shadow again as he continued to walk. Danny was happy that Jazz found love and is having a baby of her own. He's definitely going to tell his parents and his older brother later after cram school.

Notes:

Had to fix my chapters cause for some reason the end note kept going to the second chapter. Weird.

Nuna = Older sister or calling someone who not related but still somewhat older female.
Hyung = Older brother or calling someone who is not related but still somewhat older male.
Halmoni = Grandma on father's side
Eomma = Mom
Appa = Dad
Dongsaeng = Younger sibling, so it works for both genders, however it can also change the characters around to be used for a specific gender.
Gomo = Aunt on Father's side. There's another term for aunt on mother's side, but I totally forgot what it is.
But yeah... I think that's all of the ones I currently used.

Chapter 2

Notes:

I felt like chapter 1 was lacking some of the stuff I wanted to put into it and I'm not the type to create overly long chapters, so I will write more and put more characters from all 3 fandoms inside ;3

And someone who commented the first chapter. It's considered rude in Korean culture to not call your friends by their last name.

To call them by just their first name is considered rude and doesn't give them that individually that they deserve.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

"So, wait... noona just had her baby?" Suho looked at his younger brother as he picked up a chicken leg. Their dad had brought chicken and pizza for his sons who were finished with their mock exams.

Danny nodded as he swallowed the slice he had in his hand.

Suho hummed as he smiled, "I bet that's exciting. A new baby in the house. At least we got you when you were a kid. Not much snot there."

Danny snorted before coughing as he choked on his soda. Chae-in laughed, "Don't tease Daewon too much, Suho. Especially, when he's eating."

Suho grinned as he patted his younger brother's pat. Danny slapped his hand away with a pout.

^~~~~^

Sung Jinwoo laughed as he watched his eldest son bother his youngest son. He hadn't imagined his life would get like this when Daewon suddenly appeared before him. During the times when he continuously fought. The days of being a hunter in an unending world.

The world now... even with hunters it didn't seem as bad as when he was a hunter. Daewon and Suho could be hunters without problems. They could awaken and still be protected by him, but they could also grow as he did. He had noticed Suho staring in space. Daewon at times even seemed to be looking at something not there.

His sons... were becoming players. Yet, it seemed like they weren't able to unlock it due to something...

He cared for his sons, he truly did. They were his pride and joy. And yet, they were also reminders why the world was the way it was, because he made it safer for his sons.

It wasn't until Daewon turned fourteen did his son go through an awakening.

His screams as if something was tearing him apart in the inside and altering him. Chae-in and he stood outside of Daewon's room. They watched as their son's hair turned black to pure white and back again. When Daewon gasped for air and looked up in a daze.

"Open..." His son gasped.

{[Welcome, Player 2: King of The UnEnd]}

Jinwoo's eyes widened, realizing he could see his son's screen, meaning his son could see his as well. He reached out to Daewon, only for his son to disappear from his eyes. Chae-in's cries were agonizing.

Notes:

Please note, this story is not going to be set in DCU as I've stated in my last author note. If you haven't read that, go back to chapter 1. Thanks.

Chapter 3

Notes:

"When speaking english"

 

"When speaking Korean."

^~~~~~^

Anyways, I updated the tags. I have continued to write this cause I started to reread Solo leveling for the 100th time 🤧😂

This chapter.. this is before Jinwoo meet Chae-in, before Jeju Island Raid, and the giants come through the gates.

So, Jinwoo hasn't been announced as an S-rank, yet.

Chapter Text

20 years ago

Danny didn't know what to expect when he came through. His eyes were heavy as he tried to wake up and when he did. He realized he wasn't in pajamas... nor at home.

He laid in a hospital bed dressed in trenchwear shorts and black leggings for guys... he wore a high collared jacket. All in black with neon green highlights and black fingerless gloves. It was the outfit he chose to wear when he would become a hunter at sixteen.

He knows for a fact he just turned fourteen... this morning? Last night? He frowned as he looked around the hospital room. It was spacious... a private room. His parents wouldn't do that. Something about him and hyung experiencing life for what it is.

His eyes widened when the door opened, and he turned his head to look at who entered. A much younger version of his pseudo uncle... "Ajusshi..?"

^~~~~~~^

2 weeks later

Jinwoo didn't know what to expect as he looked at his system in confusion.

{[Find player 2
Failure to find: Loss of a skill, player 2 dies]}

He groaned as he leaned back on his bed. Player 2? He didn't think the system would bring in another.

"Just came in America has gotten another S-rank. However, due to the guardian of the hunter, we will not be revealing the age. The newest S-rank is a minor who just started their summer break as a middle schooler. They will only be called in for an emergency."

Jinah eyes widened as she watched the TV, Jinwoo frowned as he looked at the TV and then at his sister, "Why are you watching the news?"

Jinah pouted as she looked up at her brother, "Cause some kid younger than me is an S-rank. His parents must be really freaking out. I know I would be."

Jinwoo nodded as he looked back the screen before his eyes widened,

{[20% 2nd player found]}

What? Just by the news? He can find out by the news?

^~~~~~^

Danny wasn't sure how he got in America after traveling back in time. His parents hadn't met yet, nor were they together.

He groaned a little as he stared at his summer homework. He was at the top of his yearmates during school before. Now, he has to catch up..? How fair was that?

Also... his system is sassy. His eye twitched as he looked at his skill set and the title.

{[System Update Quest: Let's study, study, study! 60% Done]}

{[System Update Skill Set: Wail Lv. 8, Cryokinesis Lv. 15, Duplication Lv. 10, Power Absorption Lv. 15}]

His system was also... very chatty.

He needed a break... Danny sighed as he pushed himself away from the desk and walked towards his room's door. He opened it, finding his guardian on the couch watching TV.

"Hey, kid. Done studying?" His uncle asked him.

Danny frowned as he shook his head, "I got about sixty percent done. All I'm missing is history, English, and algebra. I needed a break, though."

His guardian snickered as he nodded, "Why don't we hop in a gate?"

Danny's eyes widened, "What... why?"

The older man shrugged, "Gotta exercise, kid. Stretch your legs out."

Danny snorted as he nodded, "Do we have an open gate?"

His guardian smirked. Danny sighed as he went to the kitchen to get a snack before going to his room to get dressed.

He smiled, excited to get out to the house. He was glad his guardian worked for the American Hunter Association as a high level A-rank.

{[System Quest Start: Hide and Seek! Let's figure out the clue!]}

Danny puffed out his cheeks as he frowned. Dammit.

Chapter 4

Notes:

Chapter Text

"On the scene today, we have A-rank Hunter Ingrid Adams along with S-rank Hunter codename Ghost. As you can see, a young boy with white hair and a black face mask. Unfortunately, due to the Hunter Association, we can not give out the name or age of our new S-rank Hunter... Today, they are attempting-"

"Man, American hunters are really up their ass about this new Hunter."

"What's so special about the kid anyways?"

Jin-woo could hear all types of conversations as he walked past various people. He was also curious about the new hunter, why he seemed to be everywhere. Just by hearing the talks... his system status went up. By one point percent.

As he entered a cafe to meet Yoo Jin-ho, on the tv, it still showed the kid seemingly hiding behind his guardian's back. Poor kid. He watched the tv when the kid raised his head. Those eyes... he sees them every day in the mirror.

{[System Update: 40% Found Player 2]} Forty... just by seeing his eyes? He doesn't remember having a younger brother, and his father has been missing for a good majority of his life in a gate, while his mother has been sick. So, his parents couldn't have another child. Who is he...

Jin-woo shook his head, momentarily forgetting the hunter, as he was dragged into a conversation with Yoo Jin-ho.

^~~~~~~~^

Danny gasped as he ran and jumped on a wall, skidding across it as he froze his shoes to have skates, automatically freezing the water under him.

One moment they were fine and the next they were suddenly overtaken by a rush of water.

[{System Name: Sung Daewon

"What's next finding out there's dolls under the water?" Danny's sarcasm couldn't stay still as he looked at his stats before a ping alerted him of his system. Fucker.

[{٩(^◡^)۶}]

He deadpanned the screen as he groaned, "Uncle! We need to go underwater!" Ah... english. "Uncle, we need to go underwater! There's some clues there!"

"Huh! I just came up!"

Danny noticed as he watched his uncle bob on the water. He held back a smirk. Wouldn't do with laughing at his guardian too much, "Uncle... the clues are under. We're swimming."

He could hear his uncle groaning something about this kid and what are these gates before taking a breath and going under. Danny snickered as he agreed with his uncle. This gate was weird. Started in a cemetery only to come into a house with dolls and almost drown. Sounds like a grand time. He's never playing hide and seek with the system again.

^~~~~~^

Danny whined as he stood outside the now closed gate, "It's cold!" He sneezed as he pouted under his face mask. He was soaking wet and shivering. At least he got the clue now. But still... swimming? And playing hide and seek with dolls? He hates this system.

[{System Update Quest Status: 99% done! Find out what the clue means! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )}]

He groaned under his breath as his guardian gave him a blanket from their car. Finally, some warmth. He wished he had gained some kind of firepower and not his ice... which is honestly cool, but for quests like these... he's gonna freeze.

Chapter Text

"Dae-won!"

"Dae-won! Where are you?"

"Dae-won! My baby! Where is my baby!"

^~~~~^

"Eomma!" Danny woke up that morning crying out for his mother as he gasped for air. Panting as he tried to remember where he was. He breathed heavily for the next few minutes before bursting into tears. He missed his mother. His father and brother. He missed his friends Kim Ha-jin and Lee Yu-ri. He missed Igris and the other shadows.

He wanted to go home. He heard his door bang open as his guardian gathered him in his arms and let him cry. He hadn't cried for last month that he's been in the past. "Eomma, Appa... hyung." He cried harder as he started to get a panic attack.

He could feel himself being rocked side to side. Being held in the arms of another who had already died. He could feel... "Igris..." Danny blinked as he inhaled sharply. His father's loyal shadow... who was supposed to be currently with in this timeline.

The knight seemed to blink at him as he turned to look up. Danny blinked his tears away, "Igris.. Appa... Did Appa send you? Where's Appa, Igris...?" Danny's tears came to a hot stream on his face as he tried to stop crying. "I want Appa." His lip wobbled as Igris disappeared from his view.

Danny began to wail as he mourned for his family in his future.

^~~~~~~^

Jin-woo looked curiously at his shadow. He hadn't known Igris went away and then came back. "Where did you go?"

He watched as Igris came out of his shadow to shrug and shake his head. Jin-woo tilted his head in confusion.

{[System Update: 57% found}]

Jin-woo looked startled as he stared at his screen in surprise. His eyes widened as he turned to look at Igris, "You found him?"

When Igris turned his head away from Jin-woo, his eye twitched in disbelief. His shadow was refusing to tell him about the suppose player 2.

^~~~~~~~^

After what felt like hours of crying, Danny sat in the living on the couch, his eyes burned from the tears that had been wrought dry. He stared at his system wondering if he was going to meet his father's younger self anytime soon now that Igris had found him.

{[System Name: Sung Dae-won

Int: 210
Perc: 132
Mana: 3000/3000}]

He sniffled as he stared before grabbing a tissue on the coffee table and blowing his nose. His guardian was at work after making sure Danny was alright to stay home. He hadn't made any friends yet. It was technically summer break still, and despite some kids his age around playing at the park with a basketball or soccer, he still felt... lost and out of place.

This wasn't his time. This wasn't his home. His parents weren't married. His older brother wasn't here... and that made him... lonely. He wanted his appa, he wanted his eomma, he wanted his hyung... but they weren't here! He sighed as he got up the couch to throw away the tissue in his hand. Maybe he should get out of the house to do something other than to stay indoors. Lately, he had only been going out of the house due to quests and gates. Being a hunter... was exhausting.

Especially as an S-rank. He had no idea how his parents did it before him.

{[System Status Quest Available! Let's have fun! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
Reward: Looking Glass Mirror! Skill: Chronolock!}]

Danny gaped at the system as he stared at it for a couple of minutes. Even his system was calling him out. "Accept quest." Chronolock? He would have to look up what that technically would mean for him. He was already technically a 'Mage' by his cryokinesis. Huh... maybe it was time to be a teenager and get out of the house. He quickly put on his shoes and locked the door behind him as he left.

^~~~~^

Danny, by his right, looked like a young Jin-woo. He found out early on his days with them that his parents were Jack and Maddie... just different. Chae Hae-in was kind, caring, attentive, and somewhat clumsy with him and his older brother. While his father Sung Jin-woo... he was calm, the silent structure who cared for his family, the man who loved fiercely.

When Danny wasn't being a hunter... his black fluffy hair was shown, and his blue-grey eyes were bright as he laughed with the other boys in the neighborhood. Finally having fun. Maybe he really did need this. Just be a boy instead of worrying so much about his future and his young parents.

Chapter 6

Notes:

Shorter chapter, due to lack of inspiration.

I'm still world building, please be patient with me.

Chapter Text

"Appa!"

^~~~~~^

Jin-woo woke up to a loud voice in the back of his head. A child's voice... calling for him. He breathed out heavily as he looked up at his ceiling. A child called out to him... him in a dream.

He was getting rather impatient with the way his status rose up in percentage. He knew Igris visited Player 2, but his knight never told him. He could feel the residue emotions of his knight coming in contact with Player 2. A child-like excitement and wonder.

Jin-woo knew that boy was Player 2. Not even old enough to drive nor drink. Someone who was still in school as an S-rank Mage. He found out when a gate broke in America. The boy had been wearing a medical mask and what seemed to be like gloves. His ice is able to withstand a lava barren land. The impenetrable ice. Unable to break and unable to melt.

And what seemed to be like a mirror. The boy had held it up, and the monsters had been sucked in replaced with things a child would find fun in. By the end of battle, it looked like a circus rolled in. The boy is young, and his imagination is wild.

^~~~~~~^

Danny stared at the wall in front of him with disbelief before he groaned quite loudly as he pushed himself off of bench, that was in the park... now he was in a gate that somehow opened on him. He huffed as he stretched his arms over his head. Ding!

[{System Quest Update! Let's play! Find the cat, guide it back home, and win 'Staff of Merlin!'
Failure to complete: Death}]

Danny's jaw dropped open as he realized he was going to play another hide and go seek type of game. With a cat of all things. Staff of Merlin, though? He would rather have Excalibur. What's he supposed to do? Go here, kitty, kitty? He deadpanned as he began to walk around. His usual black hair faded into a bright white as his blue-grey eyes shifted to a hint of green as he channeled power.

[{Skill use: Locator. Mana down: 2980/3000}]

Using his sense to clear more. He was able to tell Igris had come in with him. He blinked in surprise as he looked at his shadow before focusing once more as he held his hands together before spreading them out as he created a green ball made of mana. He threw it up in the air and watched as it shattered. Fifteen monsters, a npc thing... that must be the cat. And a boss monster.

But why was the cat flickering in and out? He groaned as he ran to the general direction the thing would be at. Think Danny... what mix of fairy tales is this. "Oh, come on! Alice in Wonderland again!" First the item [{Looking Glass}] and now the actual story? The Americans already thought he was kid what with the item made everything look like a circus threw up on the streets. It took hours to clean as he apologized profusely.

Well, he did learn how to use the [{Looking Glass}] so it wasn't a total loss.

Apparently, if he didn't think too hard, it would look like a circus threw up in the middle of nowhere. While if he did use his imagination, the city would look like how it was supposed to if he focused. Danny shook his head as he focused on the task in front of him.

He breathed in deeply [{Skill use: Sonic Wail Lv. 14}] although it came out as a high-pitched whistle... his shadow flickered as multiple monsters around him fell. He grinned when the cat flickered into existence next to him. He stopped the whistle. "Hey."

The cat gave him a dirty look, and Danny simply shrugged as he grinned while he held out a hand. The cat looked at the hand in suspicion before taking it. [{New Skill Active! Beast Tamer! Newly Acquired: Chesire! Time to beat the Jabberwock!}]

Danny gave his system a tired look.

[{(☛´∀`*)☛}] Yeah, fuck this system.

^~~~~^

When Igris returned to him later during the day... Jin-woo wasn't as surprised, what he surprised was that Player 2 sent something back with the shadow.

Jin-woo looked at the note in his hand before he laughed in disbelief.

I killed a dragon, Igris says you didn't. Guess I one up you, old man.

He wasn't even old. This brat... Jin-woo's shoulders shook as he laughed.

Chapter 7

Notes:

I realized... I'm actually using an alter who is currently 14 to write Danny.

I didn't realize it until I actually started to pay attention to the writing style, L.

Anyways, I'm glad you guys are enjoying this. I was reading ORV... and now reading the fanfiction of ORV and it lowkey makes me want to do a mini one shot with Sung Dae-won calling KDJ 'noona' 😂😂

Chapter Text

"I'm so bored!" Danny cried out as he tossed the small stress ball up and down as he laid in bed.

The friends he made for the summer break were in school, and he already had missed a ton of it due to being called in more times than he can count. The fact that the American Hunter Association decided that he could do the Korean classes... while he's staying in America. Online. His tutoring and classes and everything in between are all online. Why? Because Sung Dae-won is a legitimate Korean citizen.

He's technically supposed to be in high school. From what he remembers about his parents and his aunt talking... his aunt should be starting her third year, and he's just starting high school as a first year... He's already finished his studying for the day, and he's mentally done. Like done.

Forget studying... Oh. Yeah... he forgot. When he beat the [{Jabberwock}], he accidentally inherited the gate. Now he's in control of a gate... that he can open... "I can open gates! Cheshire!"

Well... it was going good... until [{Cheshire}] snickered and opened a rather small gate under him. Making him fall from his bed to the sky with a scream.

[{System Update Quest: Let's get jiggy! Play with the Evil Witch!}]

Danny could only scream until he called out for [{Cheshire}] to make him stop falling. When his gaze was covered by a purple and blue smoke and he found himself on the ground again, face down. He inhaled as he turned over onto his back.

"I'm never doing that again! Quest log open!"

[{System Quest Log: Play with the Evil Witch. Make sure to make the storyline fun!}]

Danny frowned as he realized there were no actual rewards and if there was... it must be hidden. Play with the Evil Witch? Like... Snow White's Evil Witch or Sleeping Beauty?

He groaned as he sat up, "Cheshire. If you drop me from the sky again..."

[{Cheshire}] simply snickered as he flashed in and out around his master.

Danny sighed heavily as he stood up. He could feel the upcoming headache from another story based Quest.

"Okay. Am I the protagonist or a side character?"

^~~~~~~^

It honestly, it didn't take long to figure out that Danny was a side character watching the female lead fumble around. It was insanely hilarious, but watching the Evil Queen get depression from childhood trauma... not so much? God, her mother was a bitch.

It's no wonder why the Evil Queen thought she had to be beautiful. Her mother was a harpy who pointed at her daughter constantly belittling her to the point that comparing her to her other daughter gave Danny an inexplicable urge to murder.

He wouldn't do that now, though... no matter how the story would turn into a horror story. Like heaven's forbid a side character turns into a murderer for no reason.

Okay... he needs to stop reading web novels before going to bed. Specifically, the horror ones. Doesn't the female lead unintentionally kill the Evil Queen at the end of this one, though? He doesn't really remember. His eomma didn't read Snow White to him and his hyung as children...

Whelp... he could-

[{Murder is bad, player 2! Please keep to the story!}]

It was official... he really hated his system. He glared at the screen before looking down at [{Cheshire}] he smirked.

"Hey, Chesh... wanna cause some chaos?"

Chapter 8

Notes:

If you beg, if you ask, if you demand. I am a petty person and will 100% delete my story just because of 1 person. Simply don't idc what platform it's on.

But since its July 4th and my birthday, you'll get this chapter. I already wrote it out in April, but couldn't bring myself to post it mainly cause I had different alters taking over for the last few months that it was confusing (me) and not them... which is why other stories get updated before this one and vice versa.

****

I was reading ORV and cried again.. atp it's not a spoiler, but like anytime I see Yjh killing Kdj's demon form... I bawl my eyes out.

Anyways, you might get 2 chapters. Our baby is going to meet Jinwoo soon! 🥳🤧

Chapter Text

[{Due to excessive immersion you have lost one skill for the next day and half!}]

Wow... You kill a few gingerbread men and suddenly it's the end of the world.

[{System Update: Now transporting!}]

What?

He strongly questioned before being dropped from the sky again. He screamed.

"Why are you always dropping me from the sky!"

[{System Quest Unlocked. Gain a title or lose a life! Fight and tame a grand beast within 2 hours! Good luck!}]

"Cheshire!" Danny called out as he continued to fall quickly. When the void cat finally appeared and was able to stop his fall just before hitting the ground. Danny groaned as he curled up a little. "I hate that... so much."

^~~~~~~^

Danny... was screaming yet again. Cussing out the system and [{Cheshire}] again...

Really, the number of times he's been dropped out of the sky to someplace else was starting to give him PTSD

He grunted when he was caught by someone and blinked quickly as he looked up, "Um.. Ahjussi, do you mind letting me down, please?" He recognized this man buff man as one of his pseudo uncles, Baek Yoon-ho.

Thankfully, he was dropped off by that damn void cat in the Hunter's Association with a name tag... where did the name tag come from. Ding!

[{Welcome back to Korea! Meet Player 1 with the sign 'It's a boy, Sung Jin-woo!'}]

This goddamn system.

He smiled hesitantly up at Baek Yoon-ho who looked back at him confused.

He could vaguely hear [{Cheshire}] giggling behind his paws before landing on his shoulders.

"When I said I wanted to cause chaos... I didn't mean me specifically." He chastised the void cat.

[{Cheshire}] simply smiled wider. Danny sighed softly as he smiled anxiously and patted the cat's head.

"Do you happen to know where... Hunter Sung Jin-woo is, ahjussi?" Danny gave a hesitant smile up at Baek Yoon-ho who merely raised an eyebrow back.

"Depends, whose asking?"

"Sung Dae-won." He smiled a little more relaxed.
