About Space Magic, there's another thing that caught my fancy.

[Teleport]

The spell that could transfer myself across long distances, to the place I was familiar with.

Let's start by returning to Earth.

My most familiar place was my room.

I closed my eyes and imagine the last time I kept touching the walls.

After a few seconds, the air felt different; it had no trace of magic energies.

Yesterday's events felt like a dream when I opened my eyes.

I finally came back.

The End.

[I'm still here, you know.]

==

The teleportation ends up consuming most of my mana. Since Earth had little to no magic, my regeneration rate was super slow.

It was only a little bit before I leveled up too.

[I don't see a problem since you can just sleep to fully restore it.]

Glad to hear that.

Anyway, I went downstairs and see my mother cooking my favorite food just as usual. As if she already expected me to come back at this hour.

[Your mother is pretty. Her cooking smelled nice as well.]

Thanks--she is the most important woman in my life.

My father's out at work like usual, and my little sister's probably at her college dorms since it's not yet weekend.

I sat on the dining table, as she's about to finish her cooking.

"Mom, I..."

"Don't sweat it."

She put my tray of fried rice with scrambled eggs, ham, and diced veggies.

While she made do with a bowl of havermut and hot milk.

"Sorry I didn't tell you in advance."

"I don't think you should bother if you're not breaking the law," she scooped the cereal to her mouth, and her youthful smile beamed, "When I was in a gang, I stayed out all the time, even raided tons of places."

[I started to understand why she is your mother. You're both absurd.]

"Ah ha ha..."

While it's just a day, I missed my mother's food.

...and for some reason, my mana was now half-filled!

"You seem happy today. Like you're in some life-changing trip."

My mother sat with arms crossed on the table.

"It all started when that truck..."

Whoops.

She let a long sigh, "Did you get injured somewhere?"

"I swear I was hit straight up, and I found myself in another world—but mine didn't feel different."

Did I actually die?

All I knew, I got a change of clothes fitting for Isekai.

[What do you think?]

"Hmm..."

Well, forget about it—my brain hurts.

"You'd better take me there next time—got it?"

I guess she finally noticed my weird getup.

Wait a minute...

"What about Dad and Lil' Sis?"

"They can cook or do take-outs. I'm bored to death here."

==

Mom gave me a long list of groceries and lots of extra money, just in case she'd be enjoying her time for a month.

I wouldn't question her ability to fight, she once destroyed a mafia organization on her own--cuz they picked on her favorite candy store.

I changed back to my casual clothes and walked to the supermarket.

[Earth sure is nice. No monsters; no magic; no need to bother with anything.]

"I know ri--"

As I was about to enjoy my leisure walk--another truck sped towards me!

"Fuck."

Sorry, but my Mom's errands came first.

I didn't know what exactly happened, but the entire world seems to come to halt; everything became grey, with a loud ticking noise inside me.

[One second had passed.]

{Two seconds had passed.]

[...an hour had passed.]

"Hey, it's just three seconds! Don't screw around with me."

[Knowing you, I bet you could do it for an hour or twelve.]

"Sigh, let's get this over wit--"

To my surprise, I saw the truck flash—and it's right in front of me!

It's still during the time stop too.

Until I saw a streak of light, and that metal abomination was cleaved into a million pieces.

I saw my mother with her napkin and kitchen knife.

She spat against the ground.

"Don't bother me and my son, ever again."

...as the stopped time revert to normal, I began to question my own prowess.

Even after all of this—I'm still just a mommy's boy.

Added Title.

[The Returner]

[MC-kun, your mother seems cool--what about your Dad and Lil' Sis?]

"Maybe I'll tell it—in the future chapters."

[Mou...]

I guess I'm kind of inspired by a story called 'Makikomareta Isekai'. As the point went on, the MC's stats get ridiculously OP, plus the ability to create any magic he wants.

...but he still have to walk, instead of creating transports with magic.

Why didn't he teleport to where his friends are? If he wills to, he could even send everyone back to Earth, with his absurdly OP powers. Probably just get this over with and solo the Demon King before returning.

Instead he just waste time gathering harems and doing nothing. Well, this point I could understand, but it really made things irritating when the stats didn't actually mean shit, and he didn't even know how to utilize his broken prowess.
