I used to think silence was peaceful.

Then my mom fell into a coma and silence became the loudest sound in the world.

Everything just kept piling up.

And worse, it was just the two of us.

No rich dad, no secret inheritance,

no billionaire auntie waiting to adopt me and fix my life.

I tried to stay strong,

but when the nurse gently reminded me again that we still had unpaid bills,

something inside me finally cracked.

I just nodded, locked myself inside the restroom, and finally broke down.

I had already sold almost everything I loved.

My iPad, my sweatshirts, even the tiny cute things that used to make me happy.

What else was I supposed to give?

My hair, both of my kidneys.

I had almost lost hope.

Please, I'll do anything.

I'll study harder.

I'll stop complaining about homework.

Okay, maybe not completely, but I'll try.

I won't even call the mean girls at school ugly goblins anymore.

Just...

Please...

I need a miracle.

Just then, I heard a calm woman's voice speak.

If you want a miracle, then look up.

Wait, like...

Treasure?

You are reading it right.

A special treasure awaits you.

Is this a prank or something?

Hello?

I slowly turned around expecting a hidden speaker.

Or a hospital ghost with good acoustics.

But there was nothing.

I did not just hear a bathroom wall answer me.

The wall did not answer you.

I did.

This is stress.

People cry too hard and start hearing things.

So this is totally normal, right?

Just then, an arrow beneath the message suddenly started glowing.

First I'm hearing things, and now I'm seeing things.

What's happening?

Believe your own eyes.

Only that which you see is true.

What is unseen is but an illusion.

Okay, okay.

Let's say I believe you for three seconds.

So, are we talking about gold?

Money?

Something that I could sell for millions?

Because I don't need some riddles right now.

I need some miracle.

Or at least some actual cash.

Or some treasure valuable enough to change your fate fate.

Whether it becomes salvation or disaster depends on who finds it first.

And right now, you're already running out of time.

Out of desperation to save my mom, I eventually gave in.

I followed her out of the restroom,

through the hallway, and toward the exit while she narrated every tiny step like a freaking GPS.

Continue forward and please do not look suspicious.

Proceed to the exit.

Step over the small crack.

Avoid the wet spot.

Lift your foot slightly higher.

There is an unpleasant object two centimeters ahead.

I stepped down and my whole body froze.

Oh, my apologies.

I meant there was an unpleasant object two centimeters ahead.

Too late.

Soon we reached a narrow alley between two old buildings.

Um, miss, are you sure this is the right way?

The path continues forward.

Though I understand your hesitation,

narrow passages often awaken the mind's instinct for danger.

However, if treasure were always placed in bright,

comfortable places, far few people would learn anything from searching for it.

So that's a yes?

Oh, uh, that pretty summarizes what I've said. So yes.

I finally stepped into the alley,

and thankfully it was only normal scary and not dangerous and life-threatening scary.

Just then everything went silent all at once.

Even the dramatic pigeon on the street shut up.

Miss Lady Voice?

Hello?

Are you still here with me?

Don't worry.

I'm here.

Just keep walking.

Do not turn back yet.

Step back and just breathe slowly.

I only asked if you were there and I answered with additional guidance.

The alley stretched longer than it should have.

Soon warm wind rushed past me,

and when I looked back,

the alley was gone, and I was now standing in an open field under a bright blue sky.

Holy yummy cheese balls!

Did I just teleport to another place?

100

I also noticed a small glowing orb floating in front of me,

101

shining softly like a tiny star.

102

Yes, you have arrived in one step.

103

The city of freedom.

104

A land of wind, songs,

105

nights, and many stories carried through time.

106

I realized that the glowing orb pulsed when the voice lady continued yapping,

107

so that meant her voice now had some sort of a body?

108

So, you mean I'm not somewhere in Europe and not dreaming?

109

Yes, this is not Europe,

110

nor is it a dream.

111

A world with its own laws,

112

gods, stories, wounds, and miracles.

113

Why am I exactly in this unfamiliar land?

114

I just want my mom to wake up.

115

Then keep walking, Sabrina.

116

The treasure hunt begins here.

117

Fine.

118

If this treasure can really give me a miracle, then lead the way.

119

Watch out!

120

Explosive encounter highly likely nearby.

121

Explosive what?

122

Just then, a loud boom suddenly echoed from somewhere near the trees,

123

and a tiny red figure then burst out from behind a bush.

124

Ta-da!

125

Klee is here!

126

Spark Knight of the Knights of Favonius.

127

She is known throughout for her enthusiasm,

128

remarkable explosive talent, and a long history of incidents that are best described as energetic.

129

Sorry about that.

130

Klee was only doing a little fish blasting.

131

Well, maybe not a little,

132

but the fish tastes so good,

133

so Klee thinks being grounded for a day is worth it.

134

Anyway, are you here for the treasure hunt?

135

You know about that?

136

Uh-huh.

137

Miss Nicole told Klee.

138

She said a dear traveler named Sabrina would arrive.

139

Wait, you can hear her too?

140

And she actually has a name? Of course!

141

Miss Nicole is the best!

142

And she talks inside heads because she can't talk with her mouth.

143

Mom says she's very smart and very nice,

144

but also talks a lot.

145

Alice said that?

146

Yep.

147

I see.

148

Klee skipped closer and grabbed my hand like we've been friends for ten years.

149

Can Klee come play with her today, Miss Nicole?

150

Please?

151

Yes, you are allowed.

152

As far as Alice is concerned,

153

nothing is more important than a request from her beloved daughter.

154

Yay!

155

But why does Sabrina look so sad?

156

Did someone make you cry?

157

Was it a bad guy?

158

Klee can blow them up!

159

Only a little.

160

Well, maybe not a little, but Klee will try!

161

I'm not sad.

162

You are.

163

I know crying faces.

164

Jean makes that face when Klee accidentally causes big disasters.

165

My mom is really sick.

166

She's in a coma right now.

167

That's why I need to find the treasure so I can buy her medicines and pay the bills.

168

Klee gave me a soft smile and squeezed my hand.

169

Mom always says love can travel very far.

170

Even farther than my best boss.

171

So your mom's love must still be with you too,

172

even if she's sleeping.

173

Thanks Klee.

174

You're welcome.

175

And don't worry, we're going to find that treasure,

176

help your mom and only blow up the bad guys.

177

Maybe we can do the first two without the third one?

178

Klee will try very hard.

179

Just then, Nicole's panicked voice suddenly filled my head.

180

Watch out.

181

Hilly Charles incoming.

182

Hilly what?

183

Literally six seconds later, masked monsters burst out of the bushes,

184

and Klee pulled out her bombs like this was a normal Tuesday.

185

Jumpy, jumpy, go!

186

Boing, boing, boom!

187

Oh my god, am I gonna die?

188

Stay calm.

189

Step back.

190

Duck.

191

Now!

192

Before I could fully lose it,

193

golden light bloomed beneath us.

194

Moment of birth!

195

A glowing flower platform rose from the ground,

196

blocking the monsters just in time.

197

Then a calm boy appeared above us and landed lightly.

198

Mr. Albedo, you came!

199

Klee knew you would!

200

I heard explosions nearby and thought it would be wise to investigate.

201

Finding Klee here confirms my hypothesis.

202

Sabrina, this is Mr. Albedo.

203

He's like my big brother, and he's super smart!

204

Nicole quickly explained that Albedo was the chief alchemist of the Knights of Favonius,

205

and that his knowledge of ancient mechanisms would be very useful for our treasure hunt.

206

Klee is my little spark knight.

207

I need to keep her safe and sound.

208

Besides, investigating the unknown is certainly my thing, so count me in.

209

Well, I guess the more the merrier.

210

After that, Nicole led us to Thousand Winds Temple.

211

An ancient ruin full of broken pillars,

212

weird symbols, traps, slimes, and things that clearly wanted me flattened.

213

But somehow, because of Nicole's directions,

214

Albedo's magic, and Klee's little bombs, we made it through.

215

I thought you were just going to lead me to the treasure.

216

You did not warn me about all this.

217

Seriously, did I get transported into a video game world or what?

218

A world is only called a game by those watching safely from the outside.

219

To those inside it, every path,

220

every danger, every choice is real.

221

Wow, that was beautiful, but also very unhelpful.

222

Then allow me to be more direct.

223

Keep moving!

224

Something larger is approaching.

225

Larger?

226

Just then the ground shook.

227

From the dark corners of the ruin,

228

two giant metal monsters slowly woke up.

229

Please tell me those are statues, please!

230

Unfortunately, no. Those are ruin guards.

231

Ancient machines built for battle.

232

And judging by the glow in their eyes,

233

they have already identified us as a threat.

234

Before I could pee my pants,

235

someone crashed down from a broken wall and stood between us and the machines like a walking shield.

236

One swing sent a ruin guard flying back like a stupid little tin can.

237

Whoa, this guy looked like he could punch a mountain and the mountain would apologize.

238

Uncle Varka, you came!

239

We knew you would.

240

Now the big metal meanies are in trouble.

241

Ah, the almighty Knight of Favonius to the rescue.

242

How timely.

243

Ha!

244

Miss Nicole!

245

Didn't expect to find you leading children into ancient ruins.

246

And I didn't expect you to enter by jumping from a wall.

247

Yet, here you are.

248

Fair enough.

249

When the coast was finally clear,

250

Albedo calmly stepped toward the broken machines and found a small glowing fragment inside them.

251

The moment he lifted it,

252

the air around us shimmered.

253

The first clue has awakened.

254

First clue?

255

Nicole's glowing orb rose into the air,

256

stretched like a flower opening,

257

and became a beautiful woman.

258

Well, there you are.

259

I was wondering how long you planned to stay as a floating light.

260

Wait, your Miss Voice Lady?

261

You actually had a physical form this whole time?

262

Nicole looked at me, and even though her lips did not move,

263

her voice gently entered my head again.

264

My apologies.

265

Until the first clue awakened,

266

I could only guide you through a small projection of my presence.

267

Now that the path has opened,

268

I can take this form before you.

269

However, for certain reasons, I am unable to speak.

270

This is the only way I can communicate with you.

271

Now then.

272

She continued yapping for eight more minutes straight.

273

And from what I understood,

274

she was an angel called N from the Hexen Circle,

275

a circle of powerful witches.

276

She then explained that the glowing fragment was a piece of the treasure's scattered light

277

and could lead us to the traces left across Teyvat.

278

The treasure you seek was broken long ago.

279

Its light scattered across Teyvat, leaving traces behind.

280

This fragment will reach those traces.

281

The brighter it shines, the closer we are to the treasure.

282

Across Teyvat?

283

As in, this whole world of yours?

284

Several regions, yes.

285

That means a long trip, but don't worry.

286

With Miss Nicole's incredible sense of direction,

287

we'd never have to worry about getting lost.

288

Yay!

289

More big adventures!

290

Wait, no, not yay!

291

I need to go back!

292

I have classes tomorrow and a sick mom in the hospital.

293

Nobody told me this treasure hunt came with a lot of obstacles and a whole world tour.

294

I understand.

295

Your fear is not unreasonable.

296

But the treasure you seek cannot be reached by standing still by standing still.

297

Each clue will bring us closer,

298

and each step will return you to the wish that brought you here.

299

Fine.

300

For Mom, I would continue this crazy mission.

301

After that, everything turned into the fastest,

302

weirdest world tour of my life.

303

The Mute Angel continued her directions like an unmutable treasure hunt navigation guide,

304

dragging us across a giant magical map,

305

jumping from one region to another while I tried my best to stay alive and understand what was actually happening.

306

In Inazuma, the sea was angry,

307

the sky was angrier, and my stomach was fighting for its life.

308

Storms often remind mortals that control is an illusion, and yet...

309

Miss Nicole, respectfully, I'm about to throw up into the ocean.

310

I suggest you give the kid the short version, Miss Nicole.

311

Very well.

312

Storms pass.

313

Thank you.

314

That one helped.

315

In Sumeru, we finally got one peaceful break near a waterfall.

316

Albedo sketched the view.

317

Klee showed me Dadoko.

318

And when she said her mom gave it to her so she would never feel lonely,

319

my chest hurt in the softest way.

320

After our little break, Nicole led us to Natlan,

321

where we were nearly roasted alive.

322

Fiery creatures chased us through rocky paths while she calmly yelled directions and at one point,

323

Varka carried Klee and me like luggage.

324

This is fun!

325

Uncle Varka is the best!

326

Hold on tighter!

327

Every trace we followed made the fragment shine brighter,

328

and by the time we reached Fontaine,

329

it was full-on glowing, like it had finally remembered where the real treasure was hidden.

330

Nicole led us beneath the water to hidden ruins,

331

where the fragment pointed us toward the final trace,

332

the one hiding the real treasure.

333

Freaking finally!

334

Soon, we found a mysterious sealed door,

335

and Albedo figured it out like a puzzle in minutes,

336

using one of Fontaine's underwater mechanisms like it was nothing.

337

The sealed door opened, and I thought we had finally reached the treasure.

338

Behind it were more passages,

339

hidden compartments, and even more puzzles.

340

I swear to God, is the treasure shy or what?

341

Ancient civilizations valued protection.

342

Finally, we reached a chamber where a small chest waited on a pedestal.

343

I opened it with shaking hands,

344

but there was no gold,

345

no money, no jewels, nothing I could sell.

346

Inside was just a small, broken, flower-shaped relic.

347

No, we traveled across Tivat for this?

348

For a broken.. thing?

349

Hmm.

350

It is indeed damaged.

351

We can fix this, right?

352

Yes, but not with gold.

353

Not with force.

354

Not even with knowledge alone.

355

Then how?

356

This relic is a vessel of hope.

357

It reflects the heart's deepest wish.

358

It was never meant to make someone rich.

359

It was meant to answer the part of a person who refuses to give up.

360

I stared at the tiny broken flower and slowly understood.

361

The treasure was never something I could sell to fix my life overnight.

362

It was hope.

363

The one thing I had almost lost in that hospital restroom.

364

Nicole said every region had left something inside me.

365

Courage, endurance, wisdom, strength, and truth.

366

I held the broken relic and thought of mom's smile,

367

her warm hugs, and the little things she did whenever I was sad.

368

I wished for my mom to wake up.

369

I don't need gold or anything.

370

I just want more time with her.

371

Please.

372

Just then, the relic started glowing.

373

Golden light filled the cracks,

374

and the broken petals slowly repaired themselves until the flower became whole again.

375

You fixed it!

376

The restoration is complete.

377

The way home can now be opened.

378

A portal appeared behind us,

379

and my chest hurt when I realized I was really leaving them.

380

They were supposed to be just my treasure hunting team,

381

but somehow they had become my friends.

382

Klee hugged me first and gave me a tiny dotiko charm.

383

So you won't forget Klee.

384

Fear doesn't mean you're weak.

385

It means what you're fighting for matters.

386

Always remember that, kid.

387

If fate allows us to meet again,

388

perhaps we could continue this conversation over dessert.

389

You asked for a miracle,

390

but you were the one who kept walking toward it.

391

Remember that too.

392

After a tearful goodbye with them,

393

I finally stepped into the light.

394

When I opened my eyes again,

395

I was back in the hospital restroom.

396

I thought it had all been a dream,

397

until I felt Klee's Dodoku charm in my pocket.

398

So it was real.

399

Everything was real.

400

I ran back to Mom's room.

401

The bills were still there.

402

Mom was still sleeping.

403

But I felt different.

404

Scared, yes, but not empty and hopeless anymore.

405

One day, my seatmate was secretly playing some online game called Genshin Impact,

406

and the second I saw her screen,

407

my soul almost left my body.

408

The characters looked way too familiar.

409

And then it hit me,

410

so I was in a game?

411

That night, I downloaded the game beside Mom's hospital bed,

412

and when Nicole's banner finally appeared, I pulled for her.

413

Not gonna lie, I really miss her voice and her endless yapping about lore and random facts.

414

rewards to enjoy.

415

Uncover a brand new story chapter in Sameru.

416

Meet new Wish Banner characters like Nicole, Prune, and Loen.

417

One afternoon while I was studying beside Mom, her fingers finally moved.

418

Mom?

419

Hey, sweetie.

420

Mommy, you're awake.

421

You're really awake.

422

I missed you so much.

423

And for the first time in a long time,

424

the silence in the room did not feel scary.

425

It felt peaceful at last.

426

Thank you.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
