64.
Why was Do-jin brought up? Hyeon-woo looked at Seon-woo with a face that meant that he did not understand. It was definitely Do-jin since they were close. Apart from Seon-woo, Do-jin was the only other person he had become close to him.
But even so, that wouldn’t be a reason to choose Do-jin over his younger brother. At least it hadn’t been until now.
“What makes you ask that?”
At Hyeon-woo’s careful question, Seon-woo’s expression was distorted. He opened his mouth and shut it. Because his Hyung kept getting closer to Do-jin. But he couldn’t bring himself to say that he was upset.
Hyeon-woo moved his hand again and stroked Seon-woo’s hair. His hands were a little softer and more affectionate than before.
“My Seon-woo, are you jealous?”
Seon-woo didn’t answer, just lowered his head a little more so that his Hyung could pet him.
“My number one priority is still Seon-woo.”
He told him not to be anxious. Only then did Seon-woo return to his usual expression. No matter how competent he was, he was still young, so he must have been anxious about many things.
Hyeon-woo, convinced of that, returned home with Seon-woo.
“Hyeon-woo ssi.”
Do-jin was standing in front of the door of the house he returned to. He said with a laugh.
“I’m home.”
He closed his eyes and smiled brightly, his eyes dazzling.
“Welcome.”
It was only after answering with the same smile that he realized that Seon-woo was standing next to him. He belatedly looked at him in bewilderment, but Seon-woo said nothing. He was just saying hello.
Thinking so, he was about to move on, but Do-jin approached Hyeon-woo and opened his mouth again.
“Do you remember what I said last time?”
Hyeon-woo’s eyes rolled around. He remembered that Do-jin asked him to call him Hyung when they met again. But Do-jin doesn’t speak to him comfortably yet.
“I remember but Do-jin isn’t speaking to me comfortably either.”
“Can I speak to you comfortably first?”
Seon-woo, who was standing beside him with an expression that said he had a lot to say, finally opened his mouth.
“Why do you have to speak comfortably?”
Hyeon-woo took Seon-woo’s hand and comforted him. It had been a long time since he found out now, but he wondered if it would be okay to do that.
Even though Seon-woo kept interfering from the side, Do-jin stood firm and spoke to Hyeon-woo as if whispering.
“Hyeon-woo-ya.”
He just called his name, but strangely, his heart was pounding.
“Hyeon-woo-ya.”
Do-jin called Hyeon-woo’s name again. Now he had nowhere to go. Hyeon-woo called while holding Seon-woo’s hand tightly.
“Do-jin Hyung.”
Do-jin’s expression brightened. Somehow, it looked good, so Hyeon-woo stared at him in a moment of bewilderment. Without even knowing what kind of expression Seon-woo was making next to him.

In a space devoid of light, someone’s languid voice sounded.
“It’s about time.”
People who believe that Awakened were new people, people who wanted power, and people who wanted to change their lives. They gathered those with twisted ideas and moved under the water. And the results of his efforts not too long ago had finally seen the light.
It was possible to open a large number of artificial portals connecting the Demon Realm and the human world.
“The results were worse than expected, though.”
He opened a portal aiming at the gathering of awakened people in Korea, but it did not reap impressive results. First of all, it was because the dragon that he had paid the most attention to was quickly subdued, and other monsters were quickly subdued because the country was small and there were many Awakened.
“Still, haven’t we succeeded in opening artificial portals in large numbers? Besides, today’s experiment — if this is successful, our future will be bright.”
Another voice was heard. The voice was a little higher and softer than the first one.
“How much effort did you put into this? Tears are streaming down my face.”
The woman said, and looked at the portal, which was growing right in front of her. The portal was getting bigger than it had opened on Seon-woo’s birthday in Korea. And finally, when the expansion stopped, a bright red pupil was revealed between them.
“Ah, finally!”
The woman stretched out her arms as if playing her accordion, then folded one of her arms and placed it on her chest.
“Welcome. The mighty demon dragon, Tiamat-nim.”
A black dragon who was born as a dragon and became the first demon to be ranked 9th. The girl showed up.
Her blinking red eyes soon became smaller, and the one she walked out of the huge portal was a naked woman. She looked around her with her twinkling eyes and gave a small yawn.
“It’s annoying.”
She had just said that, but a powerful pressure was pressing down on her surroundings. The woman who was welcoming her also fell to her knees involuntarily under the pressure. The only ones standing there unscathed were Tiamat, the owner of her voice, and a man following her.
“Why are you fine?”
Tiamat asked, looking at the man standing in the dark.
Then she suddenly realized that this dark space also had a window. Looking out the window, the outside was bright with moonlight, but the inside was strangely dark. It was not the darkness of the night, but the darkness inherent in the person standing in front of her.
“Ah, Aah.”
Tiamat, who blinked and exclaimed, recognized him.
“Why are you here?”
“Because I need to be.”
“You need to?”
Tiamat tilted her head. Meanwhile, the man behind her stepped forward and wrapped a black cloth around her body. The cloth wriggled over her and soon clung to her body, forming the shape of her black dress.
“Yes.”
“But why did you call me?”
“Because I need you too.”
“What are we going to do?”
“What do you think we are going to do?”
Tiamat inflated her cheeks.
“You always talk too complicatedly about everything.”
“You must be too simple, Tiamat.”
“Why?”
“Help me with my work. In return, I’ll let you do whatever you want.”
“What do I want to do?”
Red eyes rolled around. What they wanted most was destruction and the pleasure of killing other creatures. But since when did it become impossible to run wild even in the Demon Realm? It was because Alberg, the demon who became the number one in the hierarchy, stopped such an action.
Long, white hands trembled in the dark.
“Ca, can I kill you? Can I break it?”
“Of course.”
“Aah!”
The white face was wet with ecstasy.
“But before that, what’s that next to you?”
“Ah, my toy? Kai. Got it recently. Even if you break it, it will come back to normal.”
“It’s a hydra.”
A snake with tenacious vitality with nine heads. When properly grown into an adult, it was possible for it to face a dragon. Of course, it did not mean that it could win, but it was a pretty amazing monster.
“My name is Kai.”
The blue-haired snake-like man bowed his head politely.
“Wouldn’t it interfere with work?”
“It won’t work. If it gets in the way, just kill it.”
It was too much to say to a man, only loyal to himself. But no one here challenged that statement.
“Then Tiamat, let’s make a contract.”
“Great!”
“Welcome to Ouroboros.”
In the darkness, the two beings made a contract.
A few days later, a new group made a name for itself around the world.
Ouroboros.
An organization with a snake biting its tail as its symbol. The group did not say what they wanted. However, they did not hesitate to disclose what they had done.
“Aren’t they crazy?”
Seeing the advertisement in the newspaper openly, Ga-jun clicked his tongue.
“How crazy are they?”
Hye-sun, who recently been meeting with the Baekho Guild due to various issues, agreed with that statement.
“So these guys are the ones who have been forcibly opening portals and terrorizing?”
“It’s a great achievement in their own words.”
Ga-jun responded to Hye-sun’s words. According to the report, Ouroboros was the worst terrorist organization. They didn’t know what their purpose was, but considering what they did, there must be a lot of people who belong to this group.
“What is the world going to be like in the future?”
“It’s going to be crazy. In addition, what’s going on now will be faster.”
“The World Awakened Alliance.”
“Yes.”
It made sense. Even some of the countries that had been negative about the establishment of the association expressed their full intention to join, and the work progressed increasingly quickly as if it was riding a torrent.
The framework of the association was built, and flesh was added. In addition, several figures were appointed as the presidents of the branches of the association of their countries. The main characters were Pedro, the father of the Awakened Ivan of Russia, and Leon and Bacardi of the United States.
“Isn’t Bacardi the name of the liquor?”
Ja-yun replied to A-yun’s words.
“It is also the name of the Guild Leader of the Phoenix Guild.”
It was the second largest guild in the United States. Considering the scale of the United States, it was a person that cannot be ignored.
“Things are moving quickly. But it’s a bit of a shame.”
“What?”
“It would have been nice if there was one person in Korea as well.”
“Ji Seon-woo?”
A-yun nodded.
“Ji Seon-woo is too young.”
“But he’s still strong.”
As she grumbled and pursed her lips, Ja-yun pinched her with his hand.
“Above all, you don’t want it.”
“Ouch!”
A-yun screamed and removed her Oppa’s hand.
“Because if I become the president of the association, I’ll be insanely busy.”
“There’s that too.”
A-yun answered, touching her lips.
