He pushed Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was struggling, into the taxi that had just arrived. He insisted that he didn’t have to go to the hospital and went straight to the building, but In Yoo-shin was worried as he watched him flinch every time their eyes met. Shouldn't we take him to the hospital right now and have him do a brain test? Maybe an MRI or something? Hyeon Gyu-ha forgot to wipe the blood off of In Yoo-shin, who was soaked in worry, and ended up showing up at the office covered in blood. The office was turned upside down for a moment, and Hyeon Gyu-ha immediately got permission to take a half-day off that day. He went straight to Cheongsol Orphanage, leaving aside In Yoo-shin's concerns that he had to go to the hospital. He had to confirm whether the little boy was really In Yoo-shin. The orphanage I visited after a long time felt very unfamiliar. After all, it had been 19 years since I left, so it must have changed a lot, and I couldn't remember it very well. However, once the opportunity arose, memories of that child began to rise from the depths of his memory. Hyeon Gyu-ha stared at the playground where the child often fell over while toddling around on his short legs. The floor had been replaced with cork instead of sand. It seemed that all the play equipment had been replaced as well. "So Hunter Hyeon-nim, you used to be in an orphanage?" The director was really surprised, as if he had no idea that Hyeon Gyu-ha had been there even for a short time. He heard that Saetbyeolwon, where the previous director had been arrested, was almost closed down, but when a certain company found out about the situation, they took over and changed the name to Cheongsol Orphanage. All the teachers who had worked there 19 years ago had retired, and he could only contact two people. He was able to make an appointment for the same day with one of them who lived in nearby Suwon. When he went down to Suwon and entered the cafe he had promised to meet, an older teacher recognized Hyeon Gyu-ha first. "Oh my god. It's really Gyu-ha…… No, it's Hunter Hyeon-nim." "Call me whatever you want." Hyeon Gyu-ha nodded, and the teacher greeted him with an awkward but happy smile. Honestly, he couldn't remember who he was. But even 19 years ago, the memory of a 9-year-old and an adult were clearly different. "Did you hear how the director ended up in prison?" “I said he was laundering money from organized crime.” "That's why it seems like Hunter Hyeon kept his mouth shut about being at Saetbyeolwon. It'd be a huge problem if he got unwanted media attention and they found something out." He said that only a few government officials knew that the erosion gate had been opened at Saetbyeolwon. He vaguely recalled the events of that night. "Wasn't there a little kid sleeping in the corner of the yard the night I went out?" "I was so confused that night......." The teacher, who had been thinking deeply while touching his forehead, soon opened his mouth. "There was one kid who somehow went out into the yard and fell asleep without waking up. I was worried for a few days that he might be sleepwalking." Hyeon Gyu-ha swallowed his saliva anxiously. “......Do you remember who that kid is?" “He was very young. What was his name……? It was a very famous name that you wouldn't forget once you heard it. Was it the same name as a celebrity?" "Silla of the Three Kingdoms Period?" "Ah! That's right. It was Yoo-shin, Kim Yoo-shin. The kid who came in after Yoo-jin." “Ugh!” “Oh my god!” Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was floating upside down in front of the building with his legs crossed, shortening the lives of the civil servants passing by, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. He recalled the conversation he had with his teacher. <……> You must have had a lot of scary experiences at the erosion gate, but it's a good thing that it didn't leave you with any trauma. Even if it weren't for the heat, you probably wouldn't remember it since it happened when you were 3 years old anyway. But shouldn't he have remembered it? Not as a vague memory of a small creature babbling, but clearly, definitely, at least by name. "Gyu-ha-ssi, what are you doing here? What did they say at the hospital?" In Yoo-shin was dispatched after receiving a call from the frightened civil servants who encountered Hyeon Gyu-ha. It also happened to be his time to leave work. “Master’s face, looking upside down, is also cool…… Unn?” Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had been answering almost reflexively, flinched. The face of the three-year-old child, which had been faintly blurred, came to mind as soon as he saw In Yoo-shin. That cute creature with chubby cheeks, big, round eyes that blinked, and a short-tongued voice that would often come running to me, saying, "Hyung-ah." "Uwaaaaah." Hyeon Gyu-ha, unable to control the cuteness that was rushing through his mind, let out a single scream and flew away. In Yoo-sin, who flew away too fast to be caught, just stared blankly upwards. He'd get motion sickness if he flew backward. 'What’s wrong with him to be like this since this morning?' He checked the status window, worried that something big might have happened. [Name: Henri Raymond Charles Françoise VII] [Current status: Affection. Murderous, separation anxiety. Thrilled. Excited. Thrilled. Heart-pounding. Excited. Ecstatic. Dazzling. Cuteness x∞.] In Yoo-shin rubbed his eyes and looked again. He wasn’t seeing things wrong. The murderous intent that always took the first place and felt familiar was pushed to the back. And there were things here and there attached to it. I don't know why, but I was relieved that nothing bad happened. I called, but there was no answer. I sent him a text, but there was no reply after checking. In Yoo-shin scratched his head. Looking at the status window, it didn’t seem like there was any major problem and he was avoiding me on purpose. If that was the case, then if I went to a dangerous place, he would definitely come looking for me. 'Should I go to Narsha's Guild?’ When he searched on the map app, the directions weren't too difficult. In Yoo-shin hurried to the subway station. As the headquarters of the Narsha Guild began to come into view, Hyeon Gyu-ha flew in with a gloomy face and a sobbing voice. "Master, are you going to meet Gong Tae-seong?" "It’s because Gyu-ha-ssi didn't send me a reply." It was said playfully, but the corners of Hyeon Gyu-ha’s eyes immediately drooped. A gloomy shadow was cast over him, so In Yoo-shin quickly collected his words. "Just kidding, just kidding! I was just saying." "Since I have committed a crime, I have nothing to say if Yoo-shin goes alone to meet Gong Tae-seong, but on the way there, he tramples on me…… Ah, maybe this will be for the better." In Yoo-shin, whose face was burning red, really had to pull Hyeon Gyu-ha up from where he was sprawled on the street. It was really fortunate that it was an alley between buildings with no people. "Did you get some medicine from the hospital? Surely you don't need surgery?" Hyeon Gyu-ha looked back on his actions since the morning, convinced that something was wrong with his head. I stumbled and fell down the stairs, there was a disturbance in the dungeon during work hours, so I went to clean it up together and ended up destroying the castle inside the dungeon, and after taking a half day off and coming back, I was overcome with cuteness and had to leave to calm down....... There wasn't any problem, was there? So he spoke confidently. "They say it will get better if Master tramples on me once." “.......Have you been under a lot of stress lately?" Hyeon Gyu-ha ended up confessing because In Yoo-shin's eyes changed to those of a seriously ill patient. "Actually, I stopped by the orphanage where I grew up after taking a half-day off......." As he spoke, the image of 3-year-old In Yoo-shin began to appear before his eyes again, so he took a deep breath. In Yoo-shin, who was watching him panting with a bright red face, quickly placed a heal on his chest. "Isn't that why you cracked your ribs when you rolled over in the morning?" The eyes looking up at him with concern were the same as when he had cried and said, "Hyung-ah, are you hurt?" How can a person maintain the pure kindness of childhood even as an adult who suffers through the harsh world? When he realized that his heart was swelled with excitement, Hyeon Gyu-ha was already hugging In Yoo-shin tightly. "I was a goddamn bastard! My eyes were messed up! What good are eyes if they're useless!" "Huh?! Why are you suddenly like that?" "I didn't even recognize Yoo-shin-ssi!" "Ah, when you saved me? Of course you recognized me now with the face of an 8-year-old you saw briefly in the past.” "Ah, when you saved me? Of course it would be impossible for you to recognize me now with the face of an 8-year-old you saw briefly in the past." “That’s not it!” In Yoo-shin, who was hugging him tightly to his strong chest, had been feeling Hyeon Gyu-ha's heartbeat for a while now. The pounding, beating at a much faster rate than his own. At the moment when the rough, throbbing beat reached its peak, In Yoo-shin heard his screams, split with passion. "We were in the same orphanage......!" To be honest, when I first heard that we were in the same orphanage when we were young, all I could think was, “Wow.” I thought, “So that kind of connection exists.” He wondered if he had any special memories from the orphanage, but Heon Gyu-ha was so excited that he couldn't continue speaking. First, he went into a nearby cafe to calm him down. Hyeon Gyu-ha drank the hot Americano in one go like it was iced Americano. He felt a little calmer, but it was an illusion. He stared at In Yoo-shin sitting next to him, and even his earlobes turned red. The lips that were moving with difficulty as if they were going to say something closed. Instead, Hyeon Gyu-ha took out his cell phone with his thin, trembling hands. A text message arrived on In Yoo-shin’s cell phone. *** HM: Honestly, this is so freaking cute! -w- ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Hello, we are looking for Editors and Proofreaders for this series, please feel free to directly contact me if you would like to participate it this.

Although he wasted a lot of time and got injured, he was successful in defeating the boss monster. The child never woke up even once, no matter how Samseung manipulated it, and he also learned how to use psychokinesis like a force field to protect the sleeping child. Finally, the gate was cleared. It was still dark outside. Before even treating the wound, Hyeon Gyu-ha was out of breath and first, he urgently checked the child's condition. The child was still asleep. Only when the tension was released did the wound begin to throb and hurt. The teacher who discovered Hyeon Gyu-ha covered in blood after he went out to the bathroom was very surprised and came running. Hyeon Gyu-ha had managed to place the child in the shade behind the building before that. The third Urshitoare explained that the Erosion Gate they had just visited was a world where life was declining and dying, so there would be absolutely nothing harmful to the human body. In that case, the kid would be safe too, so it would be better to just stay out of this situation. If he got involved with someone who cleared the gate, he would end up being the subject of unnecessary gossip. Hyeon Gyu-ha stopped the teacher who was running towards him in a hurry. With those words, he squeezed out his leftover mana and flew up into the sky. He passed the teacher with a dumbfounded expression and looked at the little boy he had secretly laid down. 'I hope you're healthy, live well, and grow up well…… And thank you for worrying about me even though you must have been scared because of me! After saying goodbye with just his lips, he flew off to find the hospital. That was his last time with the orphanage. It would be a shame for the orphanage to boast about a hunter who had conquered the gate on his own at the age of nine, but strangely enough, the director was quiet. He didn't know why, but as long as nothing bothered him, he probably didn't care. Sometimes, I thought of the child's eyes that were sobbing, and I also wanted to go and check if he was living a healthy life. Every time, Hyeon Gyu-ha swallowed his impulse with bitterness. When he thought of the child who had almost suffered great humiliation because of him, he suppressed his longing to see him. For the sake of the child, it would be better not to get involved in the future. Hyeon Gyu-ha spent 19 years like that. The personal statement file of the person in question appeared on the tablet screen. The pupils slowly scanned the screen. Age, date of birth, blood type, awakening ability. And history. Cheongsol Orphanage. “Um.” Hyeon Gyu-ha let out an ambiguous sigh. He had hoped it would be, but it wasn’t the Saetbyeolwon where he once stayed. He tried to recall what the child looked like, but he was trying to forget it on purpose, and more than anything, it was 19 years ago, so he couldn’t remember it properly. 'Inanna, who had also received a request from Samseung, suddenly gave a gift to Yoo-shin-ssi, so I had hoped it would be a good thing…… But it wasn't! Since it was Samseung who took care of the child at that time, I wondered what kind of tricks she had done. I was half relieved that he didn't get involved with me, and half sad that the little boy who used to cry so much wasn't In Yoo-shin. On the positive side, the world where two such good people exist seems pretty beautiful. It's a good thing I didn't kill them all 14 years ago. So, Hyeon Gyu-ha met In Yoo-shin the next day and was able to ask him a few simple questions. "Yoo-shin-ssi. Before you went to Dalgasa, the place you were at was Cheongsol orphanage, right, Yoo-shin-ssi?" It really didn't mean anything. I'm also donating anonymously to Dalgasa Orphanage. If In Yoo-shin doesn't have any ill feelings, I just thought about donating to Cheongsol Orphanage. “Cheongsol?” However, In Yoo-shin seemed unfamiliar with the name of the orphanage where he grew up, and after thinking for a moment, nodded. "Oh, by the way, I heard that the name of the orphanage center was changed to Cheongsol after the director was arrested, but I forgot. When I was there, the name was Saetbyeolwon." *** The last person I texted before going to bed was always Hyeon Gyu-ha. Since I rarely received texts late at night, Hyeon Gyu-ha's text was always at the top of the list the next morning, but today, a different text arrived. It was Min Geut-nyeo's call that he just checked because he went to bed early because he was tired from going to the dungeon. Min Geut-nyeo, who he exchanged contact information with at the hospital, often sent him texts saying, "If he's Hunter Hyeon's boyfriend, he's like a little brother to me." She was so friendly that I felt sorry for secretly worrying about her knowing that I was close with Hyeon Gyu-ha. The text I received last night was also a normal greeting. When she asked me to have a meal together later, I replied that I would. Even as I was writing the reply indifferently, I was surprised again. I never thought I would ever get to text a third generation chaebol. 'Do you think if I tell Seung-gi, he'll be as surprised as when he found out I was dating Gyu-ha?’ Min Geut-nyeo's profile picture was of her with her daughter. It was heartbreaking to think that such a cute child, laughing while being held by her mother, would die before she was even 10 years old. “Squeak.” 6-seya, who was just about to go to bed, cried softly in the cage, perhaps sensing his owner's strange mood. "No, it's nothing." In Yoo-shin smiled and gently caressed 6-se until he fell asleep. As time went by, it was getting close to the time he had to go to work. After he quickly washed up and had a meal, Hyeon Gyu-ha arrived and rang the doorbell. On our way to work together like that, he brought up the topic of orphanage centers. “When I was there, the name was Saetbyeolwon.” It was just a small part of a casual conversation, a light response to a light question. However, Hyeon Gyu-ha’s reaction to hearing that story was somewhat strange. He stood there for a moment, his face as if his soul had left him, and looked down at In Yoo-shin. In Yoo-shin tilted his face. "Gyu-ha-ssi? Why are you suddenly like this?" He put his hand on his forehead to see if he had a fever, but as soon as his hand touched his skin, Hyeon Gyu-ha was startled as if he had been struck by lightning. “......Yes? Oh, yes! Yes, yep! Yes!" "What?" "Ah, so that's what it is. Yes, yes." "...?" Suddenly, Hyeon Gyu-ha broke down. “Are you okay?” When he took a step closer, he was startled so much that he backed away. I don't know what happened, but it was really serious. Even when I was misunderstanding because of the ring, I was the type of person who would only take half a step back. "What's really going on? Did 8-se cause another accident?" "N-n-n-n-no. No. There’s nothing wrong. Nothing is wrong, Master, please rest assured, and I hope you are well, healthy, and in good health…… Ughk!" They were leaving the attic, and there were stairs leading to the first floor. Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had been hesitating, twisted his foot on the stairs. A single scream was followed by a loud crash as he rolled down the stairs. In Yoo-shin was shocked. How serious is it if he can't even use psychokinesis? "Gyu-ha-ssi! Gyu-ha-ssi!" While running down the stairs in a hurry, In Yoo-shin almost tripped and fell. Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was curled up at the bottom of the stairs, sat there with a blank expression as if he wasn’t in any pain, but when In Yoo-shin hit his heel on the forehead, he flinched. "You don’t have to care for this little rat......." "It's nothing! Your forehead is bleeding!" Since he wasn't the type of person to say he was hurt, whether his bones were cracked or broken, he started by healing his arms and legs right away. 'Then…… Ah! Ribs!' If your ribs are cracked, you can't even use a cast. He quickly put his hand on his chest, and the door to the house creaked open. "Rooftop Bachelor. What were you talking about? What did you drop?" Even though Hyeon Gyu-ha rolled down the stairs and broke a flower pot on the edge, the landlady was truly shocked to see blood streaming down his hair and forehead. I have to get a first aid kit. I have to go to the hospital right away. I barely managed to calm the flustered grandmother down. When he asked her for the price of the flower pot and left the house, Hyeon Gyu-ha’s ribs was still broken. "Can you come to work? Should I ask the manager for you to take sick leave?" "I am so embarrassed by the kindness of Master, who personally cares for a little rat like me..." “……” What should I do? Did your head get hurt too........ He grabbed one arm of Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was talking nonsense with a face that didn't even know what he was talking about, and took him to the hospital. If I left him alone, he might roll away again. After calling a taxi through the app, Hyeon Gyu-ha came to his senses. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Hello, we are looking for Editors and Proofreaders for this series, please feel free to directly contact me if you would like to participate it this.

There might be blood. He flinched and tried to pull his hand away, but the child grabbed not only his hand but also the hem of his clothes that were dripping with blood and asked. <……> <……> Hyeon Gyu-ha was at a loss for words as he watched the child sobbing and crying, worrying as if he were the one who was hurt. My mother was always thinking about my father, and the time I spent with my grandmother was too short. The blood flowing in the colorless world was so red that it was scary to look at, but he was not at all afraid of the smell of blood, and instead, what could he say about the small warmth that approached him? Hyeon Gyu-ha hadn't learned the emotions he could express from anyone. <......It doesn't hurt.> After a long time, a dry voice came out. He was at a loss as to what to say and how to say it, and then he turned my back. He was worried about just continuously walking, but he couldn't offer his back because he was afraid the smell of blood would become even stronger if they made contact. The child, without any hesitation, immediately climbed onto his back. The child who was leaning on my shoulder and hugging my neck had a higher body temperature than I thought. I thought he had a fever. It was natural for him to be scared after being forcibly dragged to a strange place. I had to clear it quickly, but where was the boss monster? The fever gradually rose. The voice that had been sobbing and wailing, telling him not to get hurt even though he was carrying it on his back, gradually died down. Carrying the child on his back, he wandered around anxiously until he reached the end of the alley. A third of the bus stop had been torn apart and was engulfed in darkness. He had encountered monsters all the way here, but he couldn't find a trace of the boss monster. It wasn't this way. His head was in a spiral of confusion. I checked all the main roads, but if there was no boss monster, would I have to look at each place and check to find it? I didn't care if I got hurt, but what if this little kid who got swept up in it got hurt? I also has a high fever. <......Wake up.> Hyeon Gyu-ha gritted his teeth. It wasn't going to work if he just wandered around like a fool. He had to stay calm to get this kid out safely. He recited the plan out loud as if he was making a promise to himself. 【Baby.】 Hyeon Gyu-ha flinched at the voice that suddenly came to his ears. He became very nervous. He had heard that the boss of the erosion gate was a mind-bending being. He tried to find the location, but it was not easy because it was transmitted directly into his head like telepathy. 【No need to be surprised.】 Following the voice that was heard again, an idea was conveyed. At that moment, Hyeon Gyu-ha could tell. The owner of this voice was not a demon, but the third god, Ursitoare, who had come from Iad. This gate was a bridge that briefly connected Iad and the Iron Age. 【Would you like to come in?】 The third voice of Urshitoare pointed to the pitch-black darkness beyond the Erosion Gate. This time, he could tell that darkness was a place only he, with the blood of Iad flowing through him, could go to. Hyeon Gyu-ha spoke rudely. 【Hmm, okay.】 A wisp of light flowed from beyond the darkness and landed on the child's head. 【Come in now.】 I don't know what's inside. I need to keep my hands free just in case. The child nodded slightly. The child's small, wriggling hands were hot and feverish, but they were also trembling with an unconcealed fear of this unfamiliar space. Hyeon Gyu-ha stepped into the darkness while holding the child's hand. He closed his eyes for a moment due to a brief dizziness similar to that experienced when entering the gate, and when he opened them, he was in complete darkness. There appeared the shadows of two gods. The child, whose consciousness was fading away due to a fever, asked weakly. At least this space seemed safe. Hyeon Gyu-ha quickly picked the child up again to show that it was okay. The one wearing the rags and the robe would be the third Ursitoare. If so, the young person next to her…… 【I am Samsung, the daughter of Myeongjinguk while I was alive. You are probably more familiar with Samsin Halmeoni.】 She's not a grandmother, is she? But that kind of problem didn't really matter anyway, so Hyeon Gyu-ha pointed at the child. Samsung, who received the child, held it in her arms as if she were used to it. The child, who had been staring at the darkness, soon blinked and fell asleep. 【It's just that the fever went up because of the surprise, so don't worry about…… huh?】 【oh my god.】 Samsung and Urshitoare exchanged glances and let out a short exclamation at the same time. Hyeon Gyu-ha furrowed his brows at the ominous atmosphere. 【It's nothing. You managed to bring that little baby back safely without causing any harm.】 Hyeon Gyu-ha stepped back to avoid Urshitoare's attempt to pat his head as if she was proud of him. 【It was our fault. We're sorry, but we wanted to show you the way.】 Some things I heard from my mother, and some things I realized without anyone telling me. That my father was the king who was the cornerstone of another world called Iad. I don't know why, but I have to go there. The key to that is scattered in this world. And if you don't follow that call......... 【Yes. But don't you know how to silence Stoyan's call?】 Ursitoare slowly extended one hand. This time, he did not avoid it. From the tips of her fingers touching his forehead, a much brighter light than before seeped in. His headache disappeared. 【My child, if you make up your mind, Stoyan's call will not trouble you.】 Ursitoare smiled softly, yet painfully, and sang his fate: the despair of the doomed Iad and the duty he had been given from the moment he was conceived in his mother's womb. Hyeon Gyu-ha bit his small lips tightly. 【……】 At the cold question, not only Urshitoare but also Samsung who were taking care of the child fell into a heavy silence. Eventually, Samsung let out a labored sigh that felt like a human sigh. 【Your anger is justified, son of the king. Blame Doomnezeul and the gods for not only sacrificing your father and aunt, but also for imposing upon you the fate of being king of the world.】 And Hyeon Gyu-ha's share is anger towards his father who gave birth to him and forced him to inherit his fate. If it weren't for my father, I wouldn't have this headache, and my mother wouldn't have abandoned me, thinking I was useless. Although it was still a young and immature state, a clear murderous intent began to gather and gather in his chest. Hyeon Gyu-ha kicked the floor with his foot, feeling like he wanted to vent his frustration. He didn’t know about fate or anything, but his desire to open the path to Iad remained unchanged. That way, he could see his mother. 【If you go outside, a boss monster will have formed.】 【This child will be fine after a good night's sleep.】 He carefully picked up the sleeping child from Samsung and held him in his arms. It was difficult for a 9-year-old boy to lift him with one arm, but he was able to move around somehow when he used psychokinesis. Hyeon Gyu-ha went out of the darkness without looking back. So, after he left, he couldn't hear the conversation between the third Ursitoare and Samsung. 【It's strange. His destiny was to be a hunter since birth, but the flow of things changed when he met that little baby. That baby was unlucky enough to die before he even turned 10, and he wasn't even a child who awakened by 'providence'. I wish I could see this child's hidden attributes. Surely the little baby isn't Krsnik?】 【How could it be that Krsnik could not be born in a world where God has left?】 【That's right…… Even though I have the power to predict fate, I really can't know what that fate is.】 【You blessed the baby while you were talking, so 'Providence' will grant it the appropriate unique abilities. Since it is before the age of seven, I am glad that I was able to grant it the protection I borrowed from the Seven Stars just in case.】 【What? If we overdo it, they won't forgive us.】 Samsung shook her head bitterly. Her face was filled with an unconcealed sense of guilt about the current situation, which was no different from the result of exploiting children. 【Humans are destined to meet and part ways repeatedly. If they meet and recognize each other when they have overcome the fate of dying early and become independent, a small relationship will continue. The choice after that will be entirely theirs. I hope that choice will have a good outcome for them.......】 ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Hello, we are looking for Editors and Proofreaders for this series, please feel free to directly contact me if you would like to participate it this.

The fragments of the shattered door were instantly reduced to ashes by the flames of the Gong Tae-seong, so no one in the conference room was injured. Instead, everyone just stared at Hyeon Gyu-ha with surprised eyes. The guild office workers who followed behind Hyeon Gyu-ha without being able to stop him desperately pursed their lips. 'How do we catch Hunter Hyeon!' Gong Tae-seong pressed his forehead with a troubled expression. “I guess you don’t have the basic common sense and manners to make an appointment before visiting.” "I only show manners to those who deserve it." "Oh, good for you. Good for you." The momentum that seemed to be counting down the days died down at the peaceful words of Jang Beom, who took out popcorn from the inventory. Gong Tae-seong sighed and gestured to Hyeon Gyu-ha. “Let’s go out and talk.” "Don't you fight here? Watching a fight is the most fun thing in the world." "If you don't want to die from eating popcorn, just keep the meeting going." Gong Tae-seong left the conference room first, glaring at Jang Beom, and Hyeon Gyu-ha followed, as he had no business to discuss in front of other people. Those who remained in the conference room chatted amongst themselves, putting the meeting on the back burner. "Why is the guild leader so lenient to hunter Hyeon? I heard that he even bought a dungeon privately from Shining a few days ago and gave it to hunter Hyeon." "Did Hyeon Gyu-ha have some dirt on him?" "Does the guild leader have any other weaknesses besides the young lady and the vice president?" While everyone was wondering, one guild member snapped his fingers. "That's it, that's it." “What is it?” "The vice president cares for Hyeon Gyu-ha almost like a step-brother. She even acted as his guardian when he was just a minor. Was it 14 years ago? It was the vice president who destroyed the Seok-ho Guild, which was rumored to be in conflict with Hyeon Gyu-ha. Isn't Hyeon Gyu-ha a kind of…… brother-in-law to the guild leader?" “Uwah.” Jang Beom, who was eating popcorn, heard a creepy word and got goosebumps on his arms. Brother-in-law. "So, you're saying that the guild leader is trying to persuade Hunter Hyeon as a prelude to reuniting with the vice president? Because one secretary can't convince the vice president?" "If he does it right, Hyeon Gyu-ha might be able to tear up the divorce papers for us." "Maybe they get along surprisingly well because they're brothers-in-law……." The two people, unaware that even a single word of gossip was being passed around the conference room, and that it would destroy everything around them, returned to Gong Tae-seong's office. As soon as they closed the door, Hyeon Gyu-ha snapped his fingers. “Call the whale.” "Just wait. If it’s sleeping, it might not come out." After calling three or four times, Somnoros appeared, blinking his eyes, which were filled with sleep. 『Hwaaam. Don't call me during the day…… Oh, Prince!』 "Prine, my foot" Hyeon Gyu-ha lightly twisted his wrist. Somnoros flinched, instinctively sensing a threat. "What did the rat say when he told me that I had to clear the dungeon?" 『Why are you asking me that?!?』 “That bastard doesn’t even understand the language properly, and he sticks to his Master whenever something bad happens to me. Above all, that little rat is someone that Yoo-shin cherishes, so I can’t touch him.” 『I am! I am!』 "Even if you disappear, it won't have anything to do with Yoo-shin-ssi." 『So mean!』 Somnoros, in his surging sorrow, resolved to look good to In Yoo-shin. 『I really haven't heard anything. I don't think he knows the details, he just does what he's told.』 “......” 『But what happened in the dungeon?』 "I met Inanna." 『Hic! Inanna-nim!』 Somnoros let out a frightened cry and hid behind Gong Taeseong. Even cowering and hiding with its size, not even an eyeball was fully covered. 『Inanna-nim is so scary. You did a good job not following her. Even 8-se might have been crushed to death by Inanna-nim's finger if it got on her bad side, so how on earth did you manage to tell her?』 “Supreme Deity huh........” For some reason, Gong Tae-seong let out a low groan as if he was very angry. "There was a time when I thought that the spirits that appeared in dungeons were the result of projections of legends, and that divine power was a power similar to mana......." With his daughter suffering from a disease that makes her addicted to divine power and having met Somnoros who casually talked about gods, even an atheist would have no choice but to become a theist. Of course, Hyeon Gyu-ha didn't know about his confusion, so he just extended a hand. “Give it to me.” “What else?” "I heard you investigated Yoo-shin-ssi before." "Where did you hear that...... No. It's obvious." Gong Tae-seong shook his head and searched through the drawers of his desk. Then he took out a USB and threw it at Hyeon Gyu-ha. “It’s the original.” “Hmm.” "Didn't Geut-nyeo hear anything else about me?" "Me think about you? Is Noona out of her mind?" Hyeon Gyu-ha put the USB in his pocket and turned away without saying farewell. 『Prince! Please say hello to your lover for me!』 Gong Tae-seong also had a look of wanting to say something, but he couldn’t bring himself to open his mouth. Since it was obvious what he wanted to say, Hyeon Gyu-ha just ignored him and left the office. I returned early to the officetel, where I rarely visit except to change clothes or wash up. If I checked on the roof of the attic like I usually do, In Yoo-shin might catch me agitated. I might tell him someday, but for now, I wanted to hide the existence of my comfortable shelter on the roof. “Phew.” Even before he opened the file of the personal information of the person he had transferred to the tablet, his heart started pounding. He clenched and unclenched his fingers a couple of times and took a deep breath. 'The name there was probably…… Saetbyeolwon.’ 19 years ago, the place where the erosion gate opened right before Hyeon Gyu-ha's eyes. The place I was swept away with that child. *** They say that when a baby starts talking, the first words they say are usually 'dad' or 'mom', but the first word Hyeon Gyu-ha said was 'to me'. 'Come to me, to our world, my son! It was because there was a curse-like voice that had been wrapped around his mind even before he could recognize the language. It was only when he was old enough to be able to talk to his mother that he realized that it was the imprint of his father, whose face I had never seen before. At that time, he could hardly see his mother's face. Saetbyeolwon was the place he went to after his mother disappeared forever and his grandmother's funeral was held. He didn't remember exactly which orphanage it was. If nothing happened, it was the orphanage he would stay in until he was an adult, but Hyeon Gyu-ha still didn't get along with the children at the orphanage. The only exception was that child. The child, who was abandoned in front of an orphanage as a newborn, did not give in to his cold, or as other children would say, unlucky attitude. The introverted little boy, who was not particularly friendly or shy, often followed Hyeon Gyu-ha around. The teachers joked that it was because he had a pretty face. It was very difficult for a little kid whose name he didn't even know. However, when a little bean-sized thing came to him with a wobbly gait and grabbed him with its saliva-covered hands, he somehow couldn't shake it off. It was like that that night too. The sound of his father's voice ringing in his head sometimes gave him a severe headache, so Hyeon Gyu-ha would always take out his pendant at such times. As he fiddled with the bloodline pendant made from the blood of his father's buried sister, Stoya, his headache subsided a little. If another child had asked me that, I would have ignored them and put the pendant in the inventory, but I called that child closer and let him touch it. And when the erosion gate opened, Hyeon Gyu-ha also regretted that he should have pushed this kid away earlier. If he had, he wouldn't have been swept away by the erosion gate like him. The Erosion Gate is a colorless world without shadows. Even Hyeon Gyu-ha, who knew it through his knowledge, was surprised, so how surprised would a child who was only 3 years old be? Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was at a loss because he couldn't calm down the child who was crying without moving, used his powers to lift the child into the sky. He had kept it a secret from the daycare center because it would only cause trouble if he told them that he was an Awakener, but calming him down was more urgent. The child barely stopped crying as he rocked him back and forth, not lifting him too high. <......I will definitely make sure we are go out of here.> There were only two people who had been eaten by the erosion gate, but the inside seemed quite spacious. Outside the orphanage's walls, there were dilapidated buildings and streets. At first, he held the hand of the child who was shaking and walking. However, as the monsters started to appear, he had to use both hands because he was not good at controlling them. It was his first time hunting monsters and seeing them up close. He was scared, but he forced himself to keep his back straight. If he collapsed, the child would get hurt too. Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had been walking while checking frequently to see if he was following along well, soon felt embarrassed again. The child started crying again. How should I comfort him now? I thought I should at least pat her head, but there was blood all over my hand. It was a mark of where I had pressed the wound on her side. I thought he would be even more scared if I extended my hand. As he was trying to wipe the blood off his relatively clean thigh, a small blast of warmth first touched his bloody hand. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Hello, we are looking for Editors and Proofreaders for this series, please feel free to directly contact me if you would like to participate it this.

When he chose 'Yes', the marble seeped into his palm. [The artifact 'The World Beyond the Seven Gates' has been registered.] It felt like nothing had changed in particular, but Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had been staring intently, slumped his shoulders. "The pattern isn't a hamster……” Then he took a picture of In Yoo-shin's ear with his cell phone and showed it to me. The tattoo of the attribute artifact was on his right earlobe. It was so small that it looked like an earring at first glance. “What is it then?” "It looks like a cuneiform script. Could it be Sumerian or Akkadian (languages used in ancient Mesopotamian civilization)?" "Aha." "Well, I'll ask a specialist to interpret that later. What's the name of the attribute artifact? Let's try expanding the unique field for a test." I could instinctively figure out how to use the attribute artifact as soon as I acquired it. Who would have thought that the day would come when I would use the attribute artifact? My heart was pounding even harder than before I acquired it. In Yoo-shin took a deep breath and used his mana. [The attribute artifact 'The World Beyond the Seven Gates' is being used. A unique field is deployed.] The tattoo on his right earlobe glowed, and a new world unfolded around In Yoo-shin. The sky that had been bathed in hot sunlight became the ceiling of a damp cave, the forest that had been covered in lush greenery became a puddle of mud, and the clear air became a whitish dust billowing. This place, devoid of any warmth, was a land of no return, that was deeper than the deepest place on earth. The capricious and greedy god turned his eyes to the underworld for the dead. The ruler of the underworld was her sister. The god adorned herself and descended arrogantly into the underworld. The ruler of the underworld was furious and ordered her to pass through the seven gates of the underworld. The arrogant god passed through each door, taking off her jewels and clothes one by one. When she passed through the last door, she was naked and helpless. The ruler of the underworld finally killed her and hung her body on a tree. In Yoo-shin held his breath at the vivid visions flowing into his head. His mana was draining away so quickly that his head was getting dizzier each second. If it weren’t for the increase in mana due to 8-se, he would have completely exhausted his mana and fainted as soon as he deployed the field. "If it's difficult, put it away quickly." In Yoo-shin released the field while holding his breath. Hyeon Gyu-ha gently held his waist, which was swaying without him realizing it, and supported him. "Are you a little dizzy?" "I feel extremely dizzy. "It's because it's the first time I've used this much mana. It'll be fine once I get used to it after using it a few times." The hands that were patting and caressing me were gentle. The heartbeat that had been pounding dizzily slowly slowed down, drawn in by that gentle warmth. When his breathing calmed down, Hyeon Gyu-ha patted his back and helped him stand up straight. In Yoo-shin stuck out his tongue as he looked at the scenery before his eyes, which was once again a mountain covered in thick forest. It was definitely me who had deployed the field of the attribute artifact, but it didn’t feel real. "What did it look like, Gyu-ha-ssi?" "Um, usually people come out here and there, but Yoo-shin-ssi's artifact is just inside a dark and gloomy cave. There are also dry, leafless trees standing here and there." *You didn't see any hanging corpses, did you? Oh, that's right, in Sumerian mythology, Inanna went down to the underworld ruled by Ereshkigal. That seems to be it." In Yoo-shin explained the vision she had seen with great care. Inanna, who had prepared for her own death before going down to the underworld, was later revived safely and returned to the surface, but the memories of this artifact did not unfold to that extent. Hyeon Gyu-ha rubbed his chin after hearing the story. "Inanna really is a god with unique tastes, giving you her dark history of getting beaten up and killed by her older sister as a gift. Is she some kind of exhibitionist pervert?" "But why wasn't Inanna or Ereshkigal seen on the field?" "Umm. This is just a guess, since this is my first time seeing an attribute artifact directly related to a god. I think it would be impossible to stuff a god's form, even in the realm of artifacts." It was an understandable statement. Oh, wait a minute. In Yoo-shin felt a chill down his spine at the sudden thought. The abilities that each attribute artifact manifests are different. In particular, the more extensive the memories contained in the attribute artifact, the more diverse its abilities are depending on the skill level of its owner. On the other hand, ‘the world beyond the seven gates' is very simple. The land of the dead. The underworld. He cautiously asked a top-ranking hunter who was an expert in this field. "If I don't release the entire artifact, but only use part of its power......." Hyeon Gyu-ha responded with a stiff expression on his face. "It will connect to the underworld." "It means that you'll be able to see ghosts." "I want to return this." "Gong Tae-seong tried that for several years and it didn't work. It's easier to just give up." "What do I do if I see a ghost?" "What are you worried about when you have a dependable and cute pet rat that will protect you 24 hours a day, anywhere, anytime? Come, quickly come and hug me in these wide arms. These are my chests prepared for you, Master. I can only move my chest muscles, so do you want to take a look?" “That’s it!” Hyeon Gyu-ha was really annoying for naturally saying that he didn't see ghosts. And In Yoo-shin was determined not to release some of the artifacts. *** "8-seya. Because of you, I started seeing ghosts......." “Squuuk?” "How are you going to take responsibility for this?" I questioned him, but he just tilted his head as if he didn't know what I was saying. He's usually good at understanding what people say, but he pretends not to know when he's at a disadvantage. This disgusting act of pretending not to know is so... so... so... cute. “You bad guy!” “Squk!” When he made a tickling motion, it rolled around on the floor making a squeaking sound. Ah, that side hadn’t been cleaned properly so there must have been some dust accumulated there....... 8-se who had rolled all the way there started coughing. He quickly picked him up and gently dusted him off. “Squeak!” In the meantime, 6-se, who had escaped from the cage after being woken up, came running with a whimper. "Oh. Did I wake you up because it was so loud? Sorry, sorry." He was trying to gently hold it in his hand and put it back in the cage, but it didn't move. Instead, it just lay down on his palm. "It would be cooler to sleep on the scales of a cold dragon." Still, I didn't mind the fact that 6-se was sleeping soundly in my hand. He usually turn on the air conditioner during the day for 6-se, but he might be hot because of the body heat from his palm. He adjusted the angle of the fan so that it wouldn’t hit him directly, and then sat down on the mattress. At some point, 8-se also crawled up and crouched down next to 6-se. It was a hot day today, but the warmth of the soft, fluffy palms of both hands made it feel like heaven. In Yoo-shin gently stroked 6-se's fur and closed his eyes. The ability to connect to the underworld…… Hamsters don't have a long lifespan. If it weren't for the taming and buffing that I could give to 6-se, his energy would have already declined significantly. I wanted to spend a little more time with 6-se so that he could be comfortable, and give him only good memories. When 6-se leaves for Sunflower Seed Planet, will the artifact's ability allow me to see the hamster's ghost? And with that power. Will I be able to meet my deceased parents? In Yoo-shin, who had thought of it without thinking, smiled bitterly and shook off the thought. It had been 14 years since they had passed away, so if they were still by my side, it meant they had become an evil spirit. My parents, who had done many great things while they were alive, must have gone to a good place. Above all else. I didn't want to show them a pathetic son, who was at this age and couldn't fulfill his role, struggling with memories from 14 years ago. At the same time. Hyeon Gyu-ha broke down the door of one of the conference rooms at the Narsha Guild headquarters. I was afraid of In Yoo-shin, so I deliberately answered lightly, but it is possible to connect with the underworld. How can that be easily overlooked? It was already dangerous because of his guilt towards the dead. Being able to see ghosts didn't mean he would ever see his long-dead parents again. The mere fact that his already fragile mind was shaken was unacceptable. Since he can't just search through all the dungeons again and grab Inanna by the collar, he had to find out the cause. "Hey, Gong Tae-seong." *** HM: felt I was reading a horror novel, instead of a BL ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Hello, we are looking for Editors and Proofreaders for this series, please feel free to directly contact me if you would like to participate it this.

Hyeon Gyu-ha pressed his forehead with his index finger and thumb and sank to his knees. "No, that doesn't make sense. Why does Inanna appear in the Epic of Gilgamesh?" "Inanna was once rejected by Gilgamesh." "That's true, but this is a dungeon to subdue Humbaba." In any case, it was the Supreme Deity who had to face him again. He had somehow managed to win against Atabeyra, but would he be okay this time? In Yoo-shin took out ‘Mandukai’s Booth’ and ‘Jungin Khatun's Bukht’ from the inventory, thinking that they might be useful. Hyeon Gyu-ha also took out the Spear of Longinus, a Christian relic he had prepared separately. "Let's go down first." After organizing the small items and carrying In Yoo-shin, he went downstairs and glanced at them. Although his face was tense, it wasn’t the look of panic and confusion like when he first started clearing the dungeon. Hyeon Gyu smiled faintly at the proof that he completely trusted himself. This time, since there was a holy relic, he wouldn’t have to see In Yoo-shin’s pale face, shocked by the wounds and blood like before. The dungeon's axis shook and a majestic current surged forward. In the middle of the whirlpool of mana, a large crystal stone began to form and take on a distinct shape. It was the descent of the god of vanity. Then, a distant presence that seemed as if it would crush them encroached upon the wide dungeon. Inanna. One of the seven great gods who determine fate in the Sumerian pantheon. God of love and war, and the god of Venus. In Yoo-shin unconsciously bit his lips. I had already met the Supreme Deity. However, that god was a god who had fallen from grace and fallen from grace. The awe-inspiring presence of the main god who had fully maintained his divinity was incomparable to that of Atabeyra. Only after a gentle hand wrapped around his shoulder did In Yoo-shin realize that he couldn't even breathe properly. "It’s gonna be okay." A soft whisper in his ear made his breath even again. Even though Hyeon Gyu-ha was a hunter with abilities beyond my standards that couldn't be measured, his opponent was a god even if he was just a fragment of a shadow. But when I heard him whisper that it was okay, I really thought it would be okay. As the color returned to In Yoo-shin’s face, Hyeon Gyu-ha raised his head. "If you're not going to fight me right now, please lower your guard a bit. I feel like my head is going to fall off if I keep looking up at you." 【Hehe.】 The soft laughter from above the clouds shook the air like thunder. The oppressive feeling that seemed like it would split the dungeon in two with just one step was relieved in an instant. The oppressed air finally began to circulate and the wind blew. It had gotten as low as a three-story building. He still had to look up, but it was a lot easier to breathe than before. He only had a vague feeling that he was leaning against the ground, and the shape was not clearly visible as if it were covered in fog. It seemed to imply that humans do not dare to look at God, even if he is just a fragment of a shadow. 【I am the lord of heaven and earth, and the guardian of the seven cities. You look like Gilgamesh to me.】 "That's a noble way to call someone a bastard." Inanna laughed quietly. It was a joyful laugh, but In Yoo-shin could not relax. Inanna was an extremely capricious and cruel god. Just like the love and war she presided over. 【What a pity. If I had been born 5,000 years earlier, I would have had the fun of taking you in.】 "Give up on that, I’m already taken." 【Son of the King. Know that the third Urshitoare and Samsung's plea have sustained your life.】 In Yoo-shin swallowed dryly while hiding behind Hyeon Gyu-ha. The way he spoke his mind, regardless of whether the person in front of him was a hot-tempered god or not, remained in good composure, while being calm. 'But Samseung? Samseung Halmang? If it's Samseung, isn't it Samshin Halmang(Goddess of Childbirth and Fate)?' Hyeon Gyu-ha's expression changed slightly when he heard the name Samseung. His voice became slightly more polite. "What was your request?" 【In your time, let's see…… 19 years ago. And 29 years ago, I saw you at the moment you were conceived in your mother's womb.】 "What's the point of looking at them when I was just a fertilized egg?" 【Do you know how many gods blessed you so that you would not die in vain in your mother's womb? You are truly an insolent man.】 In Yoo-shin's hand, which was holding onto Hyeon Gyu-ha's jacket, gained strength. As he listened to her, the commonalities between the three gods, Urshitoare, Samseung, and Inanna, came to mind. Inanna turned her head and stared intently at In Yoo-shin behind Hyeon Gyu-ha. She couldn't see his face properly, but it felt like that. 【Hey, it looks like you have something to ask.】 "There... It seems like all three gods are related to birth......." The third Ursitoare, who foretells the fate of a newborn child, Samseung, who’s the goddess of childbirth and fate, and Inanna, the goddess of love who also governs conception and childbirth. All of these gods had a hard time fulfilling their roles in Iad, where life was rarely born. 【That's right. But Iad is no longer my world.】 When In Yoo-shin looked puzzled, Inanna continued her explanation. Her attitude was much gentler than when she was dealing with Hyeon Gyu-ha. 【We observe the myriad of worlds, but among them, there are worlds that we are particularly attached to, and because of that attachment, there are gods who bind the worlds with their deities, even though they know that they will perish. Iad is a world where Dumnezeul himself has appointed a king, so how could it not be special to the gods of the pantheon under his command?】 "So, does that mean Inanna left that world?" 【Many gods have turned their eyes away as it falls steeply toward destruction. If it weren't for the request of Urshitoare and Samseung, I would have already cut it off. Because of that request, I have been connecting the gates for 19 years, and he came to see me before lad was completely destroyed.】 "So, what do you want?" Inanna waved her hand at Hyeon Gyu-ha, who cut her off rudely. 【I won't give it to you.】 Then, he seemed to smile brightly at In Yoo-shin. 【I will give it to you.】 "Yes?" Before the surprised In Yoo-shin could ask again, Inanna's presence gradually faded. 【Child, you resemble the affectionate Geshtinanna (god of wine). Do not take on the fate of others, just as Geshtinanna took on her brother's burden.】 With those words, Inanna completely disappeared. Only a large, radiant crystal stone fell where she had been. [The dungeon's hidden boss, ‘Supreme Deity Inanna', has acknowledged you.] [The dungeon has been completely cleared.] It was determined that the dungeon had been cleared. In Yoo-shin looked up at Hyeon Gyu-ha in a daze. “Are you done?” “I guess so.” Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had put away the Spear of Longinus, hesitated for a moment before moving his lips. “Yoo-shin-ssi.” "Yes?" "By any chance…… No, that's not true. Let's sort this out first and talk about it later." Hyeon Gyu-ha gently cut off the conversation by smiling and caressing In Yoo-shin’s forehead, and walked ahead. In Yoo-shin tilted his head and followed him. In the place where Inanna had stayed, there was not only a crystal stone left. A transparent bead was floating in the air near his waist. Hyeon Gyu-ha’s eyes were filled with a strange feeling. “This was the gift.” “What is it?” "It's an attribute artifact." In Yoo-shin was surprised and stared at it again. This was the attribute artifact he had only heard about. 'An artifact that most hunters would never see in their entire lives, so easily? Can I really receive it?' The price is what you call it if you sell the dungeon that the attribute artifact dropped from. He glanced at Hyeon Gyu-ha and his expression was strange. "Wouldn't it be better for Gyu-ha-ssi to take it?" "Huh? Ah…… No, that's not it." Hyeon Gyu-ha rubbed his face once, as if he knew that In Yoo-shin had noticed. Then he let out a sigh that seemed to indicate that he was really upset. "I really wanted to be the first one to give an attribute artifact to Yoo-shin-ssi......." Hyeon Gyu-ha muttered in a depressed tone, hugging In Yoo-shin’s shoulder and rubbing his cheek against his forehead. It was strange that I didn’t feel the weight of a man much taller and bigger than me, leaning and rubbing against me. "I thought the Pied Piper would be perfect. There are rats and a thing tamed by a flute, right?" "Wow, that's really......." At those words, In Yoo-shin imagined that hamsters would appear from all over the place and follow him as he played the flute. Hyeon Gyu-ha looked down at In Yoo-shin with a blush on his face and straightened his shoulders. "Master, I am the first to follow the sound of the flute." “Even if I don’t blow, you’ll follow after me.” "As expected, the person who knows me best is Master. We are one in mind and body. Although our bodies have never become one yet." He asked, naturally letting the last sentence flow by. "Can I really have it?" "You just have to go all in on attribute artifacts, even if you can't get them." "But…… I'm worried I'll end up like the guild leader." "Well, there would be no reason for the Sumerian goddess Inanna to give a Japanese artifact, right?" That was there too. "Even if they get a Japanese artifact, any punks who brag to Master about being 'first' will all be dead…… I mean, make them quiet." For the sake of Hyeon Gyu-ha’s image, it seemed like having a Japanese artifact would absolutely not work. In Yoo-shin swallowed once in nervousness and quietly placed his hand on the transparent bead.

There was a hero who was a demigod, half-human, with a mother who was a god and a father who was human. He was a powerful and great ruler, but at the same time an arrogant tyrant. The suffering people appealed to God, and God created a match out of clay to satisfy them. The duel between the tyrant and the clay man ended in a draw, and they became best friends. They set out on a journey to subdue the mountain keeper monster as representatives of the gods. That place was Sammok Mountain, which was spread out right now under the feet of In Yoo-shin. "It's the Epic of Gilgamesh, the first epic poem in human history. Whoa." Maybe it was because I knew it was a sacred mountain, but I felt like cool negative ions and phytoncides were coming out of the forest at my feet. Even though the forest is completely covered with monsters. The monsters were rushing towards Hyeon Gyu-ha and In Yoo-shin, the only living beings in the dungeon. Of course, since the two were floating in the air, it was impossible for them to approach unless they were flying monsters, so they could only jump up in vain from the floor below. Hyeon Gyu-ha's attacks, hunted down the monster……. In Yoo-shin struggled with how to describe the scene, then simply asked. “Did you get a new weapon?” "This time, made by Kwon Seong-gil." The hammer that Hyeon Gyu-ha was moving with psychokinesis was a large hammer. If that hammer was Mjolnir, the weapon of the god of thunder Thor, even In Yoo-shin would have said, “Wow,” but that was, honestly…… It looked like a toy mallet. Every time the hammer struck the floor, the monsters trapped underneath would have their heads shattered or their bodies crushed to death. "It's pretty useful, isn't it? It's sturdy enough to withstand being hit by monsters, but the most important thing I paid attention to was the soundproofing. The leather wrapped around the hammer absorbs all the sounds and screams of being smashed by monsters." "Is there a special reason why you made it like that?" "Guns have a lot of power, but the monsters are too noisy. They get in the way of my date with Yoo-shin-ssi." In Yoo-shin nodded absentmindedly. The monsters’ screams had not disappeared, but it seemed much better since they no longer had the horrible sounds of screams or carnage. He didn't stop there, he even took out a large speaker. He thought he was going to play a trot medley, but what he actually played was a song that In Yoo-shin could recite by heart because he had heard it so often. -The Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom Sutra(Mahā Prajñā Pāramitā Hṛdaya Sūtra). When the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara[(also known as Guan Yin in Chinese), the Bodhisattva of Compassion] was deeply practicing the Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom)........ “……” The clear sound of the drum being struck echoed throughout the dungeon along with the recitation of the Heart Sutra. Unlike In Yoo-shin, who was lost as to how to respond to the strange situation where Sumerian mythology and Buddhism were mixed together, Hyeon Gyu-ha seemed satisfied. "You prefer what’s familiar to you, Yoo-shin-ssi?" It is a familiar sound to In Yoo-shin who grew up in a temple…… 'No, is it okay to cover up the sounds of monsters with the Heart Sutra?' Since the monks did not force their beliefs on the children in the orphanage, In Yoo-shin was a nylon believer who only went to the temple on Buddha's birthday. Nylon believers rationalized with their superficial knowledge. 'Yes. The monsters are a type of Mara (monsters in Buddhism), so they must be defeated with the scriptures!' After coming to terms with it, he felt at ease. In Yoo-shin moved his gaze to a distant place while listening to the recitation of the Heart Sutra. A cool stream flowed through the thick forest. It was a beautiful sight. In the midst of it all, monsters were dying with its body crushed beneath my feet, but I couldn't hear it, so I decided to just ignore it. "Of all the ones I've tried, this one has the best shading." Hyeon Gyu-ha even took out a large parasol, so there was no need to worry about the sunlight blinding him. Do you often use parasols in dungeons? The next thing he took out was a hamster-shaped lunch box. In Yoo-shin opened the lunch box lid with a pounding heart and let out a gasp. "Did you make this yourself?" “Do you like it?” "It's so cute!" It was a lunch box with a character that I had never expected to see inside. Of course, it was a hamster. I was just looking at it because I felt bad about eating it, but Hyeon Gyu-ha smiled and put a small hamster made by wrapping rice in tofu in a rice ball with his chopsticks into his mouth. As he was chewing, he found himself smiling as if he was full. "I'll make it again next time and bring it to you. Just like when I was managing your diet before, I enjoy cooking while imagining what you're eating." "I also like Gyu-ha-ssi's cooking." After swallowing the hamster sushi that was munching on, he quickly added. "Except for foods that are too healthy for your body." "Actually, I need to manage my diet." "Oh, Gyu-ha-ssi, do you also maintain a consistent diet to maintain your body? Bulk up?" "I need to gain some belly fat." "You don't have to gain weight! Really!" It really felt like a picnic, as I was leisurely enjoying the scenery while eating the lunch box I had made myself. As long as I didn't look down at my feet. -.......With nothing whatsoever to attain, the Bodhisattva, relying on Prajnaparamita (Perfection of Wisdom)........ While listening to the heartwarming sound of the Heart Sutra, In Yoo-shin asked Hyeon Gyu-ha a question he had not been able to ask earlier because he seemed dejected. "How are parallel worlds divided? Is it because of something mythical, like the Iron Age here and ®ÀÇ?" "Similar. Somewhere, there may be a world where a king buried the wife of one of his brothers under the foundation stone to complete the city. To put it simply……" Hyeon Gyu-ha looked around and picked up an octopus sausage from the lunch box with his chopsticks. "I can choose to eat this sausage, I can choose not to eat it, or I can choose to throw it away. These choices become turning points, and the world splits infinitely." "Umm, but I don't think it will make any difference whether Gyu-ha-ssi eats the sausage or not." "Yes. I'm just an ordinary person. But for example, um... what do you think would have changed if Yi Seong-gye hadn't made the choice to withdraw his army at Wihwado?" Aha. In Yoo-shin nodded. "But at that time, Goryeo had reached its limit both economically and socially, so wouldn't Joseon have been established somehow?" "That could be true. The conquest of Liaodong could have been a success, or King Wu could have been struck by lightning and awakened his forces, thus reviving Goryeo. Besides, as you know, Yoo-shin-ssi, international relations are organically intertwined." Hyeon Gyu-ha looked down at the greatly reduced number of monsters and continued his explanation. “During the Chinese Civil War (a civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party in China), the Kuomintang had a certain degree of success in defending the Yangtze River, and as a result, the continent was split in two.” "It's not that the Communist Party was good, but rather that the Kuomintang was so bad that it was almost a miracle that they were able to preserve it to that extent?" "That's why. It's much more likely that the Yangtze River defense line would have collapsed. Let's assume that the Kuomintang was driven out and ended up on the big island down there, Taiwan, right? Or that it was a parallel world that had completely collapsed." In Yoo-shin, who was trying to imagine it, unconsciously stuck out his tongue. Even though part of the continent was split into South China, North China always behaved like North China, so wouldn’t it have gotten worse if they had all that large land? "I think that if there had been no need to guard the land border with South China, North China could have deployed far more troops during the Korean War." "Oh, by the way, I heard from Seung-gi before that a portrait of Kim Il-sung in his old age was discovered in North Korea. It's possible that unification didn't really happen during the Korean War." "Yes. The turning point resulting from that kind of choice or outcome is called a parallel world." "Living in a unified Korea makes me feel patriotic again." "A world-class, lovely hunter who fills your patriotism by promoting national prestige is by your side, so please continue to fill your patriotism to your heart's content." “Ah, that’s right.” Hyeon Gyu-ha narrowed his eyes. "Why is your reaction like you forgot?" "Hey, how could I have forgotten that Gyu-ha-ssi is an amazing hunter?" Even while they were babbling, the hammer didn't stop, and finally the last bang was over. [The dungeon's monsters have been annihilated.] [The dungeon boss, ‘The Mountain Keeper of Sammok Mountain’ appears.] Humbaba, the mountain keeper of Mount Sammok where Gilgamesh and Enkidu fought, was a monster as strong as his hideous appearance. It is said that even Gilgamesh, who was praised as the greatest hero, managed to kill him only by using trickery. But if Gilgamesh had a gun, he wouldn't have had to tremble in fear of Humbaba. [The dungeon boss, ‘The Mountain Keeper of Sammok Mountain’, has died.] [The dungeon has been cleared.] Looking at Humbaba, who was tattered from the machine gun fire, In Yoo-shin had a new realization. Firepower is the best. His ancestors were not firepower enthusiasts for nothing. Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had taken the crystal stone, returned, shaking his hands. "There are no artifact drops. I don't know why the bastard told me to raid this dungeon, but it seems like there will have to be a hidden boss as well." "Why did he ask us to conquer it? Was it perhaps to get a gift like 8-se again?" Hyeon Gyu-ha's eyebrows twitched. "You mean that weird creature with hair all over its body?" “......Don't shake the person who has forgotten and is living!" As In Yoo-shin hurriedly erased the illustration of Kallikantzaros from his memory, a new message was printed. [A dungeon break has occurred.] I had hoped that something like this might happen, and as expected, the same phenomenon as before occurred. It was a scary word, but it was strange that it wasn’t scary at all, unlike when I first experienced it. In Yoo-shin took out Gyu-Gyu from his inventory. And he waved one of the doll’s arms and greeted Hyeon Gyu-ha. "Fighting!" “……” Hyeon Gyu-ha, with a very disturbed expression on his face, sighed deeply and went down the mountain where the monsters were swarming like a swarm of ants. This time, too, the monsters began to defy gravity. The series of events that followed were not a good sight for the mind, so In Yoo-shin turned his back and turned up the volume of the speaker. -Maha Prajna Paramita Hridaya Sutra........ (The Great Perfection of Wisdom Heart Sutra) "Kkieek! Kyaak!" -.......Mumyo yeok mumyojin naeji munosa yeok munosajin… (There is no ignorance, nor the cessation of ignorance, and so forth, even up to no old age and death, nor the cessation of old age and death.) Kwung! Boom! Kkiyayayaya! -.......Ajeje baraj baraj baraj Bodhi Svaha......... (Gone, gone, gone beyond, gone completely beyond, enlightenment, so be it!) "Kueeeeek!" Just sitting there is a bit weird, so next time I come to the dungeon, I should bring some prayer beads and listen to the Heart Sutra and pray for the first time in a while. [The dungeon's monsters have been annihilated.] The mountain once a lively source of things to dig up and throw away had completely changed its terrain. Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had returned, had the same clear face, but he didn’t know. Besides, the hidden boss would appear soon. In Yoo-shin, trying not to look below his upper body, applied heal and buff. "I am touched by the grace of Master who tries to excite me even today, but I am doing well even without the need to......." "Gyu-ha-ssi! Hidden Boss! Who do you think the Hidden Boss will be?!" In Yoo-shin quickly cut him off, and Hyeon Gyu-ha also smiled and moved on. "Well, since it's the Epic of Gilgamesh, wouldn't Gilgamesh or Enkidu appear?" As soon as he finished speaking, a message came announcing the presence of the hidden boss. [The dungeon's hidden boss, ‘Deity Inanna' appears.] In Yoo-shin said without malice. "Gyu-ha-ssi, you got the hidden boss wrong again." “……” *** HM: I think it’s time we start putting a info dump sentence on who the gods are. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Hello, we are looking for Editors and Proofreaders for this series, please feel free to directly contact me if you would like to participate it this.

"I'd like to see you crying and clinging to me in my car, Master, but I can't let you lose your temper before you even enter the dungeon." “I’ve never done that.” I screamed for him to let me get off, but I never cried and clung to him like he said. How could I possibly cling to him when I was wearing my seatbelt tightly in the passenger seat? Hyeon Gyu-ha smiled brightly with a relieved expression. "Really? I must have been mistaken. Then let's go by car." "I clinged! I clinged onto Gyu-ha!" "You weren't just clinging there, you were crying like a mess, begging with a red face like you were going to die... right?" "I-I think so." "You were so tired from crying that you grabbed my shoulder, but your hand was slippery because it was soaked with sweat...…right?" “Ah, yes……” As I watched Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was making up distorted memories that never existed, I felt like I could understand Min Geut-nyeo’s feelings as she beat up Gong Tae-seong, just a little bit, really just a little bit. But that didn’t mean I really wanted to hit him once. After many twists and turns, they arrived at Gaemachong. They had to get off at the train station and take another bus, but it was nice because it felt like a date. "Since we've come so far, let's take our time looking around and go on a date." Hyeon Gyu-ha must have had the same thought. It was a hot day, so next to In Yoo-shin, there were small portable fans that Hyeon Gyu-ha had placed in the air spinning around. Pyongyang was unfamiliar to me because I had only visited there a few times when Park Seung-gi was a student at Pyongyang University. It was also amazing to see the Gaema Tomb in person, which I had only seen in textbooks. Gaemachong is a historic site that was destroyed during the Korean War and then restored. I thought of the parallel world that I had heard from Park Seung-gi before, where North Korea might still exist. If this were North Korean territory, I think they would have given up on restoration without even thinking about it. In Yoo-shin looked up at Hyeon Gyu-ha, feeling his patriotism rising for the first time in a long while. "I remembered what Seung-gi and I had talked about before, about parallel worlds. I was talking about the pendant that Gyu-ha has. Are these the people?" He showed him a web page that he had previously searched on my phone and saved to his favorites. It was a legend about a king who wanted to complete a city. Hyeon Gyu-ha's eyes carefully read the cell phone screen. "The traditional legend is that the king rejected the fairy's advice and completed the city, but strangely enough, he had a dream of sacrificing twins. It's a bit far-fetched, but I wondered if something like a dream happened in ®AC. And since their names are the similar to yours, I thought it might be related to you, Gyu-ha-ssi......." “…….” "I guess that's a bit of a ridiculous idea, isn't it?" Since Hyeon Gyu-ha didn’t respond, In Yoo-shin scratched his head and mumbled. I must have had a strange dream because I was so nervous while reading the legend. As he was about to put down his phone in embarrassment, Hyeon Gyu-ha suddenly grabbed his hand tightly. The face looking down with hazy, open eyes had an expression of infinite emotion. It wasn't that he didn't answer, but that he couldn't. “……” "Yes?" "Master, you're a genius...… How did you figure that out just by hearing the name? How can such an incredible genius... that all of humanity lost, become my master? My luck stat must have hit EX and broken through the stratosphere……." [Current status: Murderous affection. Overflowing.] His face, muttering in rapture, overlapped with the image of himself praising 8-se as a genius hamster a few days ago. In Yoo-shin took some time for self-reflection…… He shouldn't do that in front of other people from now on. It took 17 minutes for Hyeon Gyu-ha to calm down. “Whew. It’s an honor to be talking to such an unprecedented genius.” In Yoo-shin, whose face was red from embarrassment for 17 minutes, put the straw of the take-out coffee cup to Hyeon Gyu-ha's lips, who was also blushing. "Um, you mean for me to shut up now, right?" “It’s similar.” "I am glad that you are becoming more like me, Master, since you are not denying it. Anyway, Yoo-shin-ssi's thoughts are correct. Of the twins who were offered as sacrifices, the younger one was buried underground and became a resident of the underworld, while the older twin remained above ground and was granted immortality by the gods. Since he was already the king who supported the world, wasn't he intending to extract mulberries from them?" "So, you became a vampire?" "If it's the part of old Serbia and Romania where the legend is passed down, then it's because they're vampires. If it were England…… they'd be Time Lords." "The genre suddenly changed from mythology to science fiction?!" My curiosity was resolved, but there was something else I was most curious about. It seemed like a problem that shouldn't be touched lightly, so I was worried about how to talk about it, but Hyeon Gyu-ha was the first to laugh brightly. "The older twin is my father. The one buried with him is my aunt. I've never met either of them, though." Then he lightly tapped his forehead against In Yoo-shin's. "Are you still curious?" In Yoo-shin blinked his eyelashes a few times before nodding as Hyeon Gyu-ha's face suddenly came into view. "It's surprising that Gyu-ha-ssi is a prince, but when I find out that your father lived before the Common Era, I'm beyond surprised and can't think of anything else." "I don't really like being called Prince, but my heart flutters when Yoo-shin-ssi calls me that. Let's use that as our nickname from now on." A gay couple who call each other Prince and Master. In Yoo-shin was so startled that he shook his head rapidly, almost to the point of dizziness as he imagined that. Whether his father was a man from BC or a vampire, Hyeon Gyu-ha was Hyeon Gyu-ha. In Yoo-shin immediately took Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was depressed at not being called a prince, and went to the Sujeong Gate that Gong Tae-seong had purchased. I thought there wouldn't be anyone guarding the dungeon that was handed over by the Shining Guild, but there were a few people standing there who seemed to be guild members. "Are you Hunter Hyun Gyu-ha-nim? I heard about you from Guild Leader Narsha. It's an honor to meet you!" Judging from the way they were shaking their cheekbones and handing out autographs, they seemed to be Hyeon Gyu-ha's fans. In Yoo-shin pretended not to see Hyeon Gyu-ha make a grimace while signing. "We'll be guarding it until you clear it, so have a nice trip!" "It doesn't matter if the humans who come in to steal the dungeon pretend it was a mistake and I can kill them along with the monsters." "Haha! Gyu-ha-ssi, your jokes are a bit scary, right? I'll be back. Please take care of me!" In Yoo-shin quickly pushed Hyeon Gyu-ha's back and crossed the gate. He had to reframe his image at least a little. [Time left until dungeon reset: 12 hours, 23 minutes, 45 seconds] The dungeon was hotter than the outside in midsummer. In Yoo-shin stuck out his tongue. There is a place hotter than our country. Perhaps because it was dry, it didn’t feel suffocating due to humidity like in Korea’s summers. "It's hotter than I thought." Hyeon Gyu-ha took out more fans from the inventory and tore the scrolls off In Yoo-shin’s head. Perhaps he felt that was not enough, so he injected his mana into the bracelet and put it on. Wearing the scroll and items with cold effects, it became as cool as if an air conditioner had been turned on. In Yoo-shin's eyes gradually grew wider as he gained the time to look around. "Oh." On the other hand, Hyun Gyu-ha whistled happily. “Hiking course.” What unfolded before his eyes was a high mountain covered with a primeval forest. He could hear the faint sound of the stream flowing, and there was a narrow path through the forest. That path would probably lead to the steep mountain peak. In Yoo-shin silently lifted Hyeon Gyu-ha's left arm and went into his side. Then he made him grab his waist. "It'll be quick if we fly, right?" Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was looking down at In Yoo-shin, who was rolling his eyes and looking nervous, smirked as if he would let it go this time. Then, he lifted his body while holding his waist. In Yoo-shin opened his mouth, sighing in relief. "But, Gyu-ha-ssi, am I mistaken in thinking that your hand keeps moving down my thigh?" Hyeon Gyu-ha took a deep breath and slowly moved his fingers downwards, returning them to their original position. "Sometimes it's a shame that Master's sensitivity is too good." What are you talking about when you've never had a chance to feel something like that? Come to think of it, when I asked you to go to the movies last time, you said you wanted to touch my thighs. Do you particularly like thighs? "Why do you want to touch my thigh?" "This is a preliminary battle to lower your guard. Once you get used to the skinship on your thighs, I'll be able to sneakily touch more secret areas, and someday even Yoo-shin-ssi's butt…… Heh, heheheh." “……” While sitting next to Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was laughing happily with a muffled voice, In Yoo-shin recalled the proverb about drinking kimchi soup before the rice cakes are even thought of (meaning: counting your chickens before they hatch)…… On the other hand, he swallowed hard as he remembered the tingling sensation that came up when his fingers touched his thigh. The illusion of a dungeon began to appear in the distance. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Hello, we are looking for Editors and Proofreaders for this series, please feel free to directly contact me if you would like to participate it this.

『……』 "If you have something to tell, don't waste time and tell me quickly." 『I don't like it....... The prince doesn't resemble the kings at all. The kings are both kind........』 Although the corners of his eyes were drooping, Somnoros explained the conversation he had with 8-se. 8-se was a being created and reborn directly by the creator god Doomnezeul. He gave him the power to explore the existence of Iad, who might be hostile to the god of creation. 'Enemy?' In Yoo-shin tilted his head at the word. Now that I thought about it, Hyeon Gyu-ha had once told me never to reveal his hidden trait. It certainly seemed to be related, so I wasn’t that surprised. 『So it seems that Yoo-shin-ssi was able to connect with my contractor, Gong Tae-seong, to some extent.』 "What?" This time, Gong Tae-seong was startled. 『Oh, it's nothing much. When the guild leader uses an artifact near 8-se, it pops up in my notification window. That's all.』 "Haa…… I've been through all sorts of things because of that little fish." 『I helped you that much too!』 "You just slept whenever you wanted to." 『Humph.』 Hyeon Gyu-ha waved his hand at the grumpy whale. "If you're done with your business, then get out." 『Yes, Prince. Next time...... No, that's not it! Why is ®ÀÇ being destroyed! That's what I came to ask!』 “Tsk” Hyeon Gyu-ha clicked his tongue, clearly showing his annoyance. "The vitality is fading away and destruction is in progress. I don't know exactly when it started or when it will end." 『I see......』 Perhaps it was because it was telepathy transmitted directly from brain to brain. I could feel that Somnoroth was depressed. 『I can't properly communicate with the gods in the other world's realm of gods. However, I vaguely heard that the Creator had renamed our world to ®ÀÇ, meaning hell. At the time, I thought that ®ÀÇ might have another meaning, but it seems that he foresaw destruction.........』 Somnoros circled the air a few times, fluttering its fins anxiously, then tilted its head. 『Prince, I know this is a shameless request, but please take me with you when you go to ®ÀÇ.』 "You're going to die anyway if you go, so just keep leeching off Gong Tae-seong." 『It doesn't matter if the contract continues.』 Gong Tae-seong frowned at the word leech but did not refuse, but Somnoros turned his face away instead. 『The one who is guarding my empty spot right now is another god who used to look after us. He is strong, but he is not as strong as I, who was created to support the earth. If I return to my place, I may be able to delay the destruction a little.』 "Well." Only In Yoo-shin saw the smile briefly appear on Hyeon Gyu-ha’s lips. He lightly stroked In Yoo-shin’s forehead, who was looking at him with a puzzled expression, and shrugged his shoulders. "It'll find its own way to the seedbed, so I don't need to interfere. Do as you please." 『Thank you.』 "Is there still any energy left for the remaining keys?" 『Unn. I'll tell you as soon as I feel it.』 8-se who had been quiet suddenly intervened. "Squk! Squeak!" 『Oh, I heard there's a dungeon that 8-se absolutely have to raid?』 Suddenly, Hyeon Gyu-ha and Gong Tae-seong opened their eyes wide at the dungeon that the hamster had brought, but the person who was most surprised was In Yoo-shin. "8-seya! Can you feel the dungeon's energy too?" “Squeeak!” "Oh my god! That's a genius hamster!" In Yoo-shin lifted 8-se up high like a scene from the Lion King. 8-se, who had been strutting around excitedly, shrank back at the sight of Hyeon Gyu-ha’s eerie gaze behind In Yoo-shin’s shoulder. Somnoros interpreted 8-se's explanation. 『Hmm, I don't always feel the energy, but I heard from ®ÀÇ that it only works in certain dungeons. Anyway, I heard that I can see a vague image, and it's said to be a place with a mountain.』 70 percent of Korea's land area is mountainous. 『There is a temple nearby.........』 Temples can be seen everywhere, whether in the mountains or in the city. 『It's next to ruins?』 If you're looking for small ruins, there are some in every city. In Yoo-shin, who was feeling frustrated, looked around for a pen and paper, and Hyeon Gyu-ha quickly took out a tablet from the inventory and handed it to him. 8-se wrapped his tail around the tablet pen. "You said it was a temple, right?" “Squeak!” "Can you draw here what it says on the large rectangular wooden plaque at the entrance? It should be written in three bold letters." 8-se seemed to think for a moment, then moved his tail. Three crooked Chinese characters were drawn on the tablet screen. 寺法廣. "Kwangbop temple? Do you know where this place is? I think I've heard of it." "Let's look it up. Um…… It's said to be a temple on Mt. Daesong in Pyongyang." "The famous historic site of Daeseong?" “Isn't that Gaemachong?” In response to Gong Tae-seong's words, In Yoo-shin searched for the Gaemachong ruins and showed him a picture, and 8-se nodded enthusiastically. In Yoo-shin called Kim Ji-yeon, who was working, to ask where the dungeon next to the Gaemachong was owned. Despite being busy, Kim Jiyeon immediately searched and told him the name of the guild that owned the dungeon. "It's Shining Guild." "If it's Shining, I'll negotiate and purchase the ownership. I'll also apologize." "You're shouting so loudly while giving your due compensation." Gong Tae-seong sighed at Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was not being lenient at all, and got up from his seat. "The whale's true body is in the realm of the gods? Well, it exists in that realm of gods, but in this world, it is said that it cannot project unless it is around me with whom it has a contractual relationship. This is not its original world. If you need anything, contact me." 『Prince, and Prince's Lover! See you later!』 The whale fluttered its fins and disappeared. As Gong Tae-seong, who hesitated as if he had something to say, finally swallowed his words, Hyeon Gyu-ha looked at In Yoo-shin with a shy smile. His heart pounded slightly. And then his heart sank at the words that followed. "Let's go on a date now." "This is a real date, right? Not exercise?!" "Hahaha." Hyeon Gyu-ha smiled brightly and took out his training suit from the inventory, and In Yoo-shin was captured while running away and ended up running to a nearby park. It was a pleasant morning. *** "That's ridiculous......." Hyeon Gyu-ha muttered gloomily while covering his head. "To think that such a sharp, long thing would be repeatedly thrust into Master's slender, jade-like body, and not just once......." "Hey." “It's so hateful, that hideous thing, mercilessly thrusting into my master's tender, baby-soft skin, tearing it and making it bloody…… I've never even driven something in that deep myself…… I'm jealous, oh, my true feelings slipped out. I must tear that abomination apart right now……” "You're using that wording on purpose, right?" I thought I had gotten used to Hyeon Gyu-ha’s nonsense, but I was wrong. In Yoo-shin blushed in embarrassment, and Kwon Seong Gil turned off the tattoo machine in frustration. The freelance healer who was present awkwardly pretended to look at his phone. He had visited Kwon Seong-gil's workshop to get a tattoo of Orichalcos. He hired a healer to get a tattoo the size of my palm, and he was not satisfied with that, and he was even spitting out curses with his mouth. Even for Kwon Seong-gil, who had been through a lot, this was the first time he had seen such a situation. In the end, Kwon Seong-gil frowned and pointed to the operating room door. "Hyeon Gyu-ha, you get out." "What are you planning to do secretly with me and Master……?" "I don't want to get distracted by you and make a mistake on your Master's precious body, so get out now!" The sound of Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was kicked in the back and kicked out, scratching at the door from outside could be heard. “I’m sorry, Hyung-nim.” “Phew, Yoo-shin is going through a lot” For some reason, tears welled up in his eyes when he saw Kwon Seong-gil's pitiful gaze. The procedure ended quickly after Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had been providing no help and only hindering, was removed. It didn't hurt at all, perhaps because the healer healed quickly. Hyeon Gyu-ha's expression was filled with sadness as he looked at the tattoo on his shoulder, which had completely subsided to the point of swelling. "It must be so painful to have a scar on Master's beautiful white jade skin. Why is that? When I found out that the design you chose was 7, I got so excited as if I had been buffed while fighting and just......." In Yoo-shin quickly covered his mouth with both hands before anyone else could hear, and then he let out a shriek when Hyeon Gyu-ha licked his palm with his tongue. Anyway, that evening they feasted on Korean beef because he had been bleeding profusely. I was able to safely place the two artifacts in the expanded inventory. I don't know what to do with the mana right now, but I hope it will be useful someday. Hyeon Gyu-ha actually made a reservation at the aesthetic shop and received skin care, and as the weather got warmer, he also took care of 6-se who was suffering from heatstroke. I just wished I could spend a little more time with 6-se. Soon, the day came to go to the dungeon that the 8-se had mentioned. I heard that Gong Tae-seong had a better reputation than Hyeon Gyu-ha, so they bought it after an easy negotiation. When the day came to go to the dungeon, In Yoo-shin was once again overcome with fear. It would take an hour to get to Pyongyang, so surely I wouldn’t have to ride in Hyeon Gyu-ha’s car again? Fortunately, Hyeon Gyu-ha said that he would just take the train. However, the reason he gave for that startled In Yoo-shin. *** HM: HGH teasing skill has increased a lot ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Hello, we are looking for Editors and Proofreaders for this series, please feel free to directly contact me if you would like to participate it this.

<......What did you say!> Hyeon Gyu-ha was as frustrated as someone who had invested all his assets in stocks that had hit rock bottom again and again. [Current status: Murderous affection. Despair.] In Yoo-shin shouted urgently because he was genuinely frustrated and not intentionally overdoing it. <......This reckless little rat who didn't even notice his master's taste will atone for his sins with death.......> As they talked, In Yoo-shin's face turned slightly red as he realized the change in his relationship with Hyeon Gyu-ha. Then, to erase the thoughts that suddenly came to his mind, he gulped down the beer that Hyeon Gyu-ha had mixed with cola. Because of that, the hangover still lingered a little until the next day. In Yoo-shin sighed as he caressed 8-se. Even though he tried to erase it with alcohol, the thoughts of last night came back to him once again when he was left alone. Even though he knew how much Hyeon Gyu-ha was struggling to go to Iad. It was a selfish thought that he hoped it would be too late. "......I really am mean. Am I not?" "Squeeak! Squik!" 8-se couldn’t understand why Master was saying that, but he shook his head no anyway, and In Yoo-shin laughed in vain. It was around that time that the doorbell rang. "Oh, is Gyu-ha-ssi here already?" In Yoo-shin's eyes widened as he quickly got up and opened the front door. Gong Tae-seong was right in front of him. He coughed in vain and greeted him awkwardly. "Hi." “Yes……” In Yoo-shin looked up with a trembling face. Understanding that he did such a thing because of his child and forgiving him were two separate issues. Just as his daughter’s life was important to Gong Tae-seong, Hyeon Gyu-ha was also precious to In Yoo-shin. Gong Tae-seong also opened his mouth with a very listless attitude. “I called the office and they said you were coming to work this afternoon, but I’m sorry for bothering you so early in the morning. I kept asking you to find out what it means for the whale to go extinct. I stopped by Hyeon Gyu-ha’s officetel, but he wasn’t home.” "I can't see the whale now." "He has been bugging me all night, and now he’s dozing off as the sun rises. I have urgent business to attend to, so if I call him, he'll wake up." First of all, a guest was a guest. So I should let him in…… In Yoo-shin just rolled his eyes as he stood in the doorway. There was no one else in the house but himself, and it was a bit much to just let him in when his favorability rating was at rock bottom. Gong Tae-seong took a step back first, perhaps noticing the situation. "Weren't you with Hyeon Gyu-ha? If not, I'd like to ask you to call him. Is that okay? I'll wait outside until you arrive." "He went to buy breakfast, but... I'll ask when he'll be home. Just a moment." It was when In Yoo-shin left the front door open and went to get the cell phone next to the mattress. “Tsk.” Gong Tae-seong let out a low groan and quickly jumped onto the railing of the rooftop. The heavy pressure that had been weighing down the spot he was on disappeared in an instant. Hyeon Gyu-ha, holding a sandwich bag in one hand, stepped down as if blocking the front door. "You're still alive and well? I have to take revenge on behalf of Geut-nyeo Noona." "What do you mean, 'revenge on behalf of Geut-nyeo'?" "Noona gave me the power to decide life or death over you." “……” In Yoo-shin was secretly impressed by the fact that those words seemed to have had a greater impact on Gong Tae-seong than the incident in the dungeon the day before yesterday. Min Geut-nyeo seemed to be more sophisticated than Choi Jin-hyeok in terms of the method of wooing Gong Tae-seong. "I guess he’s wondering what it means for whales to go extinct." “I shouldn’t have told him. How annoying.” Hyeon Gyu-ha grumbled and gestured to Gong Tae-seong with an arrogant expression as he crossed the front door. Gong Tae-seong, who had been observing the situation, followed along with a sigh. Hyeon Gyu-ha, who had come inside, gestured with his hand and drew a line about 30 centimeters away from the front door. "Don't cross that line. If you do, I'll cut your throat, stuff you, and send you to Guet-nyeo Noona." "I get it." Gong Tae-seong sat down in front of the entrance without any complaints as he was told. "First, Master, have some food. Yoo-shin-ssi, you've been waiting a long time, right?" When he looked back at In Yoo-shin and handed him a sandwich and iced tea, not only his expression but also his tone of voice was noticeably different. To be honest, he was also curious about ®AÇ, so In Yoo-shin quickly took the sandwich. "Gyu-ha-ssi, aren't you eating?" "Just cut this for that guy." Hyeon Gyu-ha placed a sandwich on the cutting board and cut it into six pieces with a kitchen knife. Then, he slammed the knife into the cheap wooden cutting board he bought at the lowest price with a loud thud. The handle shook violently with the force. "Hey. Eat it." “Squeak.” 8-se trembled like a handle, but did not refuse to eat and slowly climbed onto the cutting board. His words and actions were fierce, but he had even brought breakfast separately for 8-se who had not even asked. Feeling relieved, In Yoo-shin took a big bite of the sandwich. When the meal was over, Gong Tae-seong called Somnoros. Somnoros had sleepy eyes, but he came out as soon as he was called. "Uh?" Somnoros, blinking his half-closed eyes, let out a gasp. "Why is this rat here?" "Hey." “Squeak.” 『I was surprised to hear that! Last time I saw it in the dungeon, this rat looked ordinary, but now that I see it, it's that one. That one.』 『Aah, you were hiding your presence back then because you might have been enemies? And then you avoided me and didn't even follow me into the dungeon? Well, if your presence had been exposed, I would have recognized you right away. But how did you get here?』 “Squeak!” 『I see. Aren't you scared in this strange world without gods? You don't have any of your own people here…』 "Squ! Squeak!" What are you two talking about? In Yoo-shin absentmindedly listened to the conversation that wasn't a conversation. As I regained my memories from the Erosion Gate, I also remembered that 8-se was the third Ursitoare's gift. It wasn't strange for Somnoros, who came from the same world, to know 8-se. By the way, can Somnoros communicate with 8-se? I'm jealous.... As Hyeon Gyu-ha's gaze grew fierce, Somnoros explained urgently. In Yoo-shin was the only one in the house who didn't pay attention to Hyeon Gyu-ha. 『Hey, so your current name is Henri Raymond Charles Françoise VIII? What is Henri Raymond Charles Françoise VIII's original race?........』 "Hey, you can just call him 8-se.” 『Is it a nickname? Got it. Though you've changed your appearance now, the original 8-se is a species living underground. They are children who come up to the surface at night to torment and punish bad people who are cheating.』 It seemed that the proper noun, the race name, was not spoken because the pronunciation was broken. In Yoo-shin searched for the description of Somnoros. Then, a race called Kallikantzaros, which is said to be from old Serbia, appeared. Along with illustrations with a medieval feel. “…….” In Yoo-shin quickly erased the illustration of a person with thick hair all over his body, a mixture of various animals, and prominent genitals from his memory. 8-se is cute. He's cute…...! Hyeon Gyu-ha, who glanced at the cell phone screen above his head, insisted on interfering. "It originally looked gross." "No. Even 8-se's little ears are cute!" In Yoo-shin strongly denied it and held 8-se in his hand, while Gong Tae-seong, who had also searched on his cell phone, looked even more disgusted. Even as In Yoo-shin was escaping from reality, Somnoros continued his explanation. 『It's hard to cross over from the erosion gate, and even if you do, you'll be destroyed, so the Creator reconstructed you as a boss monster. After that, you became a rodent to serve your master. The essence won't change, though...』 "So it's a hamster anyway?!" 『If you, Master, want it to remain a hamster, it will remain a hamster.』 "8-seya! You're a hamster......!" “Piyooo…...!” In Yoo-shin was having a tearful reunion with 8-se, but quickly came to his senses when he saw the word 'jealousy' appearing on Hyeon Gyu-ha's status window. "Oh, by the way, I heard when I was given 8-se by the god I met at the Erosion Gate. He told me to take care of the whale so that it could return home safely." He omitted the part where he said, 'Having a third Ursitoare by your side won't be of much help.' 『......Really? She didn't forget me and kept remembering me?』 Somnoroth's large eyes quickly filled with tears. It must have been an unfathomable amount of time since he left his homeland, so he must have been touched by the fact that the god there still remembered him. In Yoo-shin also felt a sting in his nose for a moment, but Hyeon Gyu-ha mercilessly destroyed Somnoros' emotions. "Of course, since God is a being that does not forget." ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Hello, we are looking for Editors and Proofreaders for this series, please feel free to directly contact me if you would like to participate it this.
