113. Was he a demon? He hadn't known Ji Hyeon-woo for long, he didn't show any signs of being a demon. Maybe Hanil was mistaken. Ja-yun and A-yun exchanged glances with each other. 'What should I do?' 'I think it's better to bury it for now.' It made sense just by looking at it. At least, this shouldn't be leaked out until he met Ji Hyeon-woo and confirmed the truth. But there was just one problem. They were not the only ones who had heard it. The one who came to the rescue was Ja-yun. “Anyway, it seems that Hanil is in a bad state right after the incident. You even gave him treatment, but I'm sorry for saying this.” “I think Hanil should take a break. Shall we go out and talk?" A-yun followed Ja-yun's words and naturally pushed Anais and Leon out. But unlike Leon, Anais stood there. “Sorry, but I want to hear more from Hanil-ssi.” “Anais-nim.” Ja-yun said with a puzzled expression. “This is an internal matter.” “I know it's an internal matter, but sometimes more people need to know. And Hanil-ssi's current condition is perfect. I can clearly see the condition of the patients I treat.” At Anais' insistence, Leon also stopped on the spot. “Oh my, if Anais says yes, then I can’t back down either.”  The first time the two of them were willing to back down, they should have kept Hanil’s mouth shut. Even when Ja-yun and Ah-yun were in trouble, Hanil continued to talk endlessly. It was disorganized, as if excited, but he could clearly understand the important information. “He uses the power of demons!” Hyeon-woo was just like Bacardi. After hearing the whole story, Leon rubbed his chin with his hand and said. “This is a serious story. For now, I think we should listen to Hyeon-woo's story." Leon also came to the same conclusion as Ja-yun had thought. It was a reasonable decision. 'Even though I know that, why do I feel so nervous?’ A-yun pressed her beating heart with her hand and looked at Leon. He was a righteous man. He would listen to Hyeon-woo's story and act appropriately. Even though she knew that, she couldn't hide her anxiety. *** Late in the morning, Hyeon-woo’s eyes opened and he woke up. Seon-woo was still in a deep sleep. Still, he looked better than yesterday, probably because he had been resting quietly. Hyeon-woo carefully stroked the sleeping Seon-woo's cheek. Having been hit with this and that lately, he didn't seem to be paying much attention to his younger brother. He was an understanding and good kid. He would have to take a slower approach if he was to convince him about his relationship with Do-jin. “Let’s rest for a while.” The doctor said that the aftereffects of rampage do not go away easily. He said he needed to recuperate for a while, so Hyeon-woo decided to take care of him. He would move and live comfortably with just the two of them. They won't even need a big villa. A small house would do. Thinking so, as he was touching Seon-woo's face every time, he opened his eyes. "Hyung." "Hyung." “Yes, Seon-woo-ya.” "You were next to me this whole time." “You were sick, but I need to be by your side. Where are you uncomfortable? What do you want to eat?” “A can of yellow peaches.” Seon-woo demanded in a low voice. When Seon-woo was younger, sometimes when his fever rose a lot, he would buy a can of yellow peaches from the supermarket and open it. Just like their parents did before. Hyeon-woo stood up, recalling his memories. "I'll be right back then." If it was a yellow peach c, it should be at the convenience store in the hospital. There were so many memories between the two, so why was Seon-woo anxious?  Hyeon-woo bought a can of yellow peach and returned to his hospital room. Then he opened some cans and took out a bowl from the small kitchen attached to the hospital room. How many cans did he buy? "Hyung." As he was cutting the peaches into pieces to make it easier to eat, Seon-woo called Hyeon-woo. "Yes?"  Answering kindly, Seon-woo pointed at the TV while sticking his head out. "News." "News?" Hyeon-woo put down his bowl for a moment and went into the room. He turned it off because he kept repeating the same news, but Seon-woo seemed to have turned it on again. 『New news has arrived! We will connect you with the site immediately.』 Then the screen changed and the reporter took over the baton. 『Everyone, an eyewitness of the battle with the dragon recently appeared! His name is Hanil Lee. He is said to be a guild member of the Yoram Guild. He’s here for an interview. Let’s listen to the story from himself.』 Then there was a handsome man, who wore a hospital gown and was pointed the microphone. "It's not possible! You can't do interviews right now!』 A few people blocked him and the reporters, but they never got out of the way. Like piranhas looking for food, they only aimed at the man in the hospital gown and jumped in. 「Stop!」 In the midst of the commotion, a man screamed. 「Please stop.」 For a moment, the scene became quiet. 「I’ll tell you everything.」 The eyes of the man who said that were strangely wide. And around that time, Hyeonu realized. That man was the one who was attacked by Leon that night. Did he say his name was Hanil? 'He’s awake.' He was going to step out to help him, but to get up on his own. It would be difficult to remove demonic energy for a while, but it was a bit strange. Hyeon-woo fixed his gaze on the TV screen. 「I, I know the truth!」 『What truth are you talking about?』 「Ji Hyeon-woo! The truth about him!」 The truth about him? Hyeon-woo blinked slowly. "Hyung?" He could hear Seon-woo's voice behind me, but he couldn't turn around. 「He's dealing with Demonic energy! Just like any other fallen Awakened! He pretends to be righteous on the outside, but in reality he was a member of Ouroboros!」 'What is this bullshit?' It was an odd sound. 「He is a villain!」 Hanil shouted loudly. And the content was spread throughout the country through broadcasting. Ja-yun, who came out late, defeated the reporters and dragged Hanil in, but it was already too late. "Hyung?" Seon-woo called Hyeon-woo again. Only then did Hyeon-woo catch his breath and slowly turn his head. “Seon-woo-ya.” “Hyung, what does that mean?” "You see…" “Is there something I don’t know about?” "Calm down for now. I didn't mean not to tell you." Hyeon-woo said as he approached Seon-woo. "Then?" "It’s just." He didn't want to let him know. The process leading to his gaining of demonic energy was not smooth. During that period, Hyeon-woo suffered a lot. He didn't want Seon-woo to know that. That was it. "It’s just? Do you see me as a child who can’t do anything?” “Not that.” “Otherwise, why do you hide so much? Why are there so many things I don't know? At first, I was content with the fact that Hyung came, so I tried to pretend to not know.” "I know." “But as time goes by, I’m the only one who knows nothing.” It was not like that. He didn't know what to say. It felt like his stomach was burning. "It's not like that." "If not, then what is it!" It was when the two of them were arguing. Footsteps were heard from afar. The sound was not just one. “Someone is coming.” Seon-woo's expression darkened. There was no way the footsteps of the nurse or doctor were like this. If so, who are they? It didn't take long to guess. 'The Hunter Administration.' They, who had been impatient to find fault in the Seon-hyeon Guild finally got their chance. Seon-woo pulled out the intravenous drip and got out of bed. Fortunately, Alberg and Miriel were not here. It bothered him from the middle, so he ordered a guild member to move it to another place. "Hyung." Seon-woo held out his hand to Hyeon-woo. Ddddk. At the same time, the phone on the table began to vibrate. Someone was calling. Hyeon-woo hesitated while looking at him, but Seon-woo said firmly. “Leave the phone away.” Hyeon-woo hesitated, then took Seon-woo's hand. “Here we go. One, two, three!" As soon as the count was over, the Awakened of the Hunter Administration opened the door to the hospital room and rushed inside. But no one was in it. Seeing that, Moo-hyuk let out a short sigh. 'Is it going to be like this in the end.' Moo-hyeok's words to wait and see the situation were blocked by the director. He wanted to catch Hyeon-woo faster than anyone else, and because of that, the Awakened had to rush here soon after the news broke out. “I don’t think it’s been long since they left this place.” Awakened, who swept the bed with his hand posted a report. “Okay, then let’s try to track them down.” He said this, but he hoped that Seon-woo would not be caught. He hasn't received anything properly yet, and it would be difficult if he got caught. Besides, didn't Do-jin of the Peace Guild, who decided to join hands with him, want to protect the two? If so, he had no choice but to procrastinate the search for now. He didn't even have to drag the time much. Even if he draggrd it a little, the two would run away to a safe place on their own. Moo-hyuk thought so. HM: I feel anxious, bro…. I-I-I don’t know how to feel abt this. Wwwwww It seems I’m not satisfied with just the MC’s confession. I need him to beat Leon too and teach him a lesson. <-- a can of yellow peaches. 0w0 Davine: I'm upset at that bastard!!!!  Support on KoFi: Chapter 114, 115 ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine, YaagRabRag Please join the discord server.

103.   In the PVP that started due to his instigation, Chae Yoo-jeong, who had high experience, better equipment, and higher level, naturally won.   However, the skill of the other user, which he learned in the process, was much better than expected.   [All] Park Seung-jin99: Sleepy-nim, are you really a newbie?   [All] Park Seung-jin99: I’m surprised;   [All] Drink some water: If I’m being honest, I thought I was having a heart-attack with how intense this battle was   [All] Harn: Me too omg   It was an unfavorable fight no matter who looked at it. Nevertheless, the other person’s attitude was quite calm.   He might have been disappointed because he lost so narrowly or complained about the unfavorable fight, but it was quite refreshing to see him drink the potion quietly.   ‘I don’t think he’s a bad user.’   If you have that level of skill, you are very good. It seems that Kang Ji-hye, who had been picking out strange people and putting them into the guild, chose a normal guild member this time for some reason.   He started this because he couldn’t stand to see a guy with the same nickname as Yoo Ji-han behaving badly, but he felt like he could just sit there for a while. Although he still didn’t want him to be put  in the guild.   Anyway, since he won, his opponent had to leave the guild. Since he can be kicked out if he says he doesn’t like it, Chae Yoo-jeong was going to receive his items from Kang Ji-hye at this point. At that time, the chat that followed caught his attention.   [All] Soeso: It’s a skill he gained from HOLㅋㅋㅋ   [All] Harn: He plays HOL too?   [All] I’m Sleepy: I guess partially   [All] Drink some water: yea that’s right   [All] Drink some water: He used to be a top ranker in every season too   “......What?”   His mind stopped for a moment. Chae Yoo-jeong, whose hands were stiff on the keyboard, bent his upper body towards the monitor, wondering if he had seen something wrong.   What? In HOL, he achieved grandmaster status every season?   It was a chat that he couldn’t believe even after seeing it. Chae Yoo-jeong, who was staring at the chat window while blinking several times, urgently typed on the keyboard.   [All] Yoo Chae: He plays HOL?   [All] Yoo Chae: Hero of Legends?   [All] Drink some water: ?   [All] Yoo Chae: You are a HOL top ranker?   [All] I’m Sleepy: Yeah   Chae Yoo-jeong’s heart beat at a rapid pace despite the short answer that did not seem the slightest bit sincere.   ‘Wait a minute... really? Really?’   Is this... is this possible? It’s so unrealistic.   Reason tried to stop him, saying it was nonsense, but his body ignored his head and trembled like crazy. Even amidst his doubts that it was impossible, his hope swelled in his heart.   [All] I’m sleepy: What can you do about that   [All] Yoo Chae: How about your username?   [All] Yoo Chae: Could your username in HOL be ‘I’m Sleepy’ as well??   [All] I’m Sleepy: ??;   [All] Yoo Chae: I’m just really curious   [All] Yoo Chae: I see that you’re not going to answer   [All] Yoo Chae: Am I right? Right?   [All] I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋ;    Unfortunately, the other person did not give a clear answer.   No, it didn’t matter though. If Yoo Ji-han was involved in even one small clue like this, Chae Yoo-jeong had no choice but to bite like a dog.   ‘I can’t help it.’   These were self-deprecatory words that always followed when he thought of Yoo Ji-han. ‘Can not help it’ if it has anything to do with Yoo Ji-han.   Chae Yoo-jeong frowned before smiling bitterly.   [All] Yoo Chae: I won’t kick you out   [All] Yoo Chae: So, please be active in the guild   So we need to catch that user right now. It was better to keep him by his side until he could find more solid evidence.   The deadline is one week, and it must be determined within that period whether his suspicions are correct. ‘ If it’s not Yoo Ji-han, I can just let him leave the guild, and if... it’s really him... I…’   Chae Yoo-jeong lowered his head, unable to finish his thoughts.   ***   Since the other party was reluctant about him, there was a limit to what he could find out within Zenoris.   You can’t just kick the other person out of the guild after a week without properly finding out about it. Chae Yoo-jeong quickly shook his head.   [LVS gamgack] Hyung   [Flying away] ?   The next day, Chae Yoo-jeong logged into his HOL account, not Zenoris.   Chae Yoo-jeong’s connection rate had dropped significantly since Yoo Ji-han’s record was not updated, so it had been quite a while for him.   [Flying away] What is it?   [Flying away] Why are you talking to me?   Seo Tae-young was a little surprised that Chae Yoo-jeong, who was always so stuffy, sent him a message first.   Be that as it may, Chae Yoo-jeong, whose mind was filled with Yoo Ji-han, ignored the response and got straight to the point.   [LVS gamgack] I’m sleepy-nim, this person   [LVS gamgack] You said you were close to this Hyung.   [Flying away] To Ji-han?   [Flying away] yeah, Why?   [LVS gamgack] Has this person completely quit HOL?   [Flying away] Um...   [Flying away] It seemed like that   [Flying away] Anyway, I just logged in here and checked   [Flying away] I think he quit HOL and is playing another game?   [LVS gamgack] Did you just log in? In HOL?   [Flying away] yeah, I logged in for now   [Flying away] I think he’s playing Zenoris or something like that these days?   “…….”   Chae Yoo-jeong mumbled without realizing it and covered his mouth with his hand. Before he knew it, his neck and face had turned red.   The probability that the newbie he met yesterday was Yoo Ji-han jumped up to 80%. Even though the situation wasn’t 100% certain yet, he was so happy that he felt like his heart was going to jump out of his mouth.   ‘This is not the time.’   He had to turn on Zenoris immediately. Chae Yoo-jeong, who was trying to turn off HOL, was still grateful to Seo Tae-young for giving him such great information, so he sent him a response.   [LVS gamgack] ok   [Flying away] ??   [Flying away] Anyway, if you’re done with what you’re curious about, let’s talk about yourself as well.   ***   [Guild] I’m getting lazy: Gilma-nim heh2   [Guild] Seasoned crab sauce: Hi hi   [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Whoa?   [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: As soon as Sleepy-nim came online, the Gilma came too~?   [Guild] Harn: (；￣Д￣) ~?   [Guild] Let’s do this: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ   Until he spoke with Seo Tae-young earlier, he thought he needed to find out more because it wasn’t 100% certain, but just by looking at I’m sleepy’s username, the probability automatically went from 80% to 90%.   His emotions and mind changed so wildly that he felt awkward. In the meantime, Chae Yoo-jeong was barely able to suppress his laughter that kept leaking out as he continued chatting.   [Guild] Yoo Chae: there   [Guild] Yoo Chae: Sleepy Hyung   These were three words that he had wanted to say for a long time.   ***   [Party] Yoo Chae: Hyung   [Party] Yoo Chae: Should I explain to you about Raids?   Why is it so difficult to just chat about raiding together? Chae Yoo-jeong let out a long, tense breath as if he had just confessed his affection, and wiped his red face as if he were dry washing his face.   “Hyung?”   “……Uh.”   His low, soft voice that I heard many times on Seo Tae-young’s stream. Even in those short words, he could clearly feel that he was uncomfortable with himself, which made him laugh and feel sad at the same time.   “Is it awkward for you to speak like this?”   “...No, it’s not awkward.”   Still, it was okay. It was really nice to be able to talk directly with Yoo Ji-han instead of just watching him talk to other people from a distance.   “Thanks.”   “It’s nothing. Use it well, Hyung.”   Actually, there was something else he wanted to say but Chae Yoo-jeong swallowed all those words and smiled bitterly.   It was fate that reconnected with him like luck. He did not want to put an unnecessary burden on Yoo Ji-han.   ‘You know, Hyung. I think we......’   I think this is fate.   15-year-old Yoo Ji-han, who held an umbrella for him in an alley on a snowy winter day, 19-year-old Yoo Ji-han, whom he met at a convention in Busan, and the current Yoo Ji-han, a person who approaches and leaves regardless of Chae Yoo-jeong’s efforts.   To Chae Yoo-jeong, Yoo Ji-han was closer to disaster than salvation. Yoo Ji-han always came unexpectedly, shook Chae Yoo-jeong’s world completely, and left suddenly.   No matter how hard he tries, he can’t catch him. All Chae Yoo-jeong could do was wait for Yoo Ji-han, who came by chance.   ‘I thought this time I would be able to forget.’   As soon as he decided to give up on his relationship with Yoo Ji-han, he met Yoo Ji-han again. It felt like someone was playing with him.   So, Chae Yoo-jeong... thought of that person as his destiny and decided to accept it. Even if that decision brings pain rather than happiness.     HM: It’s sorta interesting from this perspective… but I can’t help but worry. ha…   --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Meimei, Ghostx Support on Kofi: Chapter 104 Chapter 105, 106, 107, 108 We made a Discord Server ! please join us!

112. He felt himself drawn to Leon's words. Certainly, the method presented by him was effective. He did not know how much time it would take to persuade Hyeon-woo and take him to the Demon Realm. And yet, he still hesitated. "Why?" He couldn't tell. "What are you hesitating for?" That was it. What was  he hesitating about right now? Such a good opportunity had presented itself to him. It was easier to persuade a human that had fallen into hell. Hyeon-woo would be no different. At first, he would miss the world and the people who used to live in it, but that would only be for a while. Alberg had a lot of things in the Demon Realm, and he intended to pour them out to him generously. "Alright. Then let's swear it on your name." Swearing on your name was like risking your life. It was a contract that can never be broken. He didn't trust Leon yet, so he thought he had to do this. "Gladly." Knowing that, Leon smiled and accepted him. Because he was not the only one who was shackled. *** In a hospital that cooperated with the Yoram Guild, Hanil stayed on the top floor. He didn't have much trauma, but seeing that he still couldn't open his eyes, it seemed like something had happened. However, neither doctor nor hunter could find the cause. “How is Hanil?” A-yun asked Ja-yun as she came out of the hospital room. “Still not good. I called all the healers and curse breakers just in case, but he didn't seem to wake up." "He was a competent person, but it's a pity." "I know." Hanil was a rookie who was supported by the Yoram Guild. He had an exceptional talent for tracking and stealth that equaled his special treatment. But when something like this happened, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him. “I think I need to meet with Ji Hyeon-woo first.” “You already received the statement after negotiating with the Hunter Administration. Do you think there is something more?” “Am I not the only one who thinks so?” Ja-yun flicked his finger at his sister's nose. "Ack! It hurts!” “I barely flicked you.” “It still hurts! Anyway, it's true that I have to meet Ji-ssi's Hyung. I don't believe they told the Hunter Administration everything." “So it is.” It didn't seem like A-yun would believe what was revealed on the surface. “What the hell happened? I’m so curious.” “But Ji Seon-woo blocked the entry to the hospital over there. Even if you go, you won’t be able to meet him.” "Ugh. Wasn't it like our alliance? I feel like I'm always getting blocked every time we meet.” Ja-yun also agreed to A-yun’s grumbling. While the two of them were sharing their opinions, a guild member suddenly rushed over. "Is something wrong?" When Ja-yun got up from his seat and asked, the guild member gasped. “Leon, Leon-nim has visited the hospital!” "What? Could it be Leon of the Guardian Guild?" "Yes! He wants to meet Hanil-ssi, who is currently hospitalized.” Ja-yun and A-yun looked at each other for a moment. He gave up because it was difficult to get the entry, but Ji Hyeon-woo and Ji Seon-woo were not the only ones present at the scene. Leon was there too. “Tell him to come in. No – I'll go pick him up.” A-yun quickly stepped forward and said. In a way, this was an opportunity. An opportunity to uncover new information. The two moved quickly to meet Leon.  "Hello?" The blond young man in the white uniform had a very strange appearance. Under the morning sunlight pouring in at the right time, he looked like a warrior going to defeat the demon king.  "Hello." "Good morning." After politely exchanging greetings, Leon brought up the main subject of discussion. “I heard that Lee Hanil-ssi was hospitalized here.” "Do you know Hanil-ssi?" Leon smiled and answered A-yun's question. “I know a little bit. I heard that you were tracking someone, so we chatted for a while. I learned his name in the process.” "Okay." A-yun looked carefully at Leon's complexion and looked for opportunities. How could they elicit information from him? “By the way, where did you hear about the hospitalization?” “I heard from the Hunter Administration.” Was it Choi Moo-Hyuk? No, it was not him. He was not the kind of person who would carelessly throw out information from the Hunter Administration. Then, the answer was obvious. 'The Director.' He must have given up everything to look good to the hunters with the great powers. Anyway, he was a useless little guy. “How is he now?” Should he tell him the truth? Or should he hide it? While Ja-yun was worrying over his thoughts, A-yun spoke first. “He’s unable to wake up for unknown reasons.” When A-yun thought of Leon's reputation, she thought asking questions back would not work. So she bluntly brought out her words. "So do you remember anything that might have caused this?" “Well.” Leon made a puzzled expression. “I don’t think so, but I think I can say that for sure only when Lee Han-il wakes up.” She knew it! Leon knew something. A-yun's eyes twinkled. The question now was how to wake up Hanil. He thought he should ask for help from other guilds. "That's too bad." “It is. But, I think I can help you with that part, if that's okay with you." "Yes?" “I heard that my close friend Anais is in Japan. That’s not too far by plane, right?”  Anais. As an angel in white, and one of the world's leading healers, she had a somewhat unique history. She studied medicine after awakening because she wanted to treat more people properly. With that ability she had been helping many people all over the world. In addition to her, she was also a guild member of the Guardian Guild. “I’ll call her here.” It was too much kindness. It wasn't that there wasn't anything suspicious, but she had no choice but to accept it. “Well, thank you for doing that!” "No. I’m just doing what I can do.” Leon showed humility with a calm expression. That afternoon, Anais arrived in Korea. "Hello!" Anais greeted the others. Her curly red hair and the freckles that sat on her face were impressive. From her appearance alone, she looked more like a tomboy than an angel in white. “I heard there’s a patient for me here?” “Yes, Anais. Other doctors and healers have tried treatment, but they say there’s no improvement.” At Leon's words, Anais rolled up her sleeves and clenched her fist. “Don't worry! I'll cure him!" Leon and Anais entered Hanil's hospital room. Just in case, Ja-yun followed her in, but Anais diligently treated him. “Phew. Bad vibes penetrated his head. I drove it out, so he should wake up soon." As Anais said, Hanil woke up soon after. The doctors, who filled the place rushed, where she stepped down, to check on his condition. “He’s in perfect condition with no further treatment required.” It was said he no longer needed hospitalization. 'As expected, Anais!' A-yun, who joined in late, stroked her heart in relief, and Hanil, who had been blinking blankly with his eyes, hurriedly brought out his words. “I- I have something to say.” "You’re said to be cured, but just in case, get some more rest." "I’m okay. There are more important things than that." "What is it?" Hanil wet his dry lips and continued. "That night." “Did you see anything that night?” “I’ll tell you everything I saw.” He straightened his body in a serious manner. 'Right now?' A-yun was troubled. It was because A-yun and Ja-yun weren't the only ones in this hospital room. “Shall we go back?” Anais tapped Leon on the shoulder and said. It would be embarrassing to treat someone who helped him like this, but he still has a lively way of speaking. "You can't eavesdrop on other guilds." "Yes. That's right.” It was such a cool attitude. Because of that, A-yun was taken aback. “B-but are you okay?” "It’s okay." They help out and turn around without any cost. And yet she doesn't even regret it. It was something A-yun would never have done. It was then that she seemed to understand why people called Anais the angel in white. “No, I want you to listen to my whole story.” Something happened to Leon and Anais who were about to turn around. It was something he would never have thought of. Wasn't it him, who was supported by the Yoram Guild? “This is something everyone should know.” Hanil said firmly. “Something that everyone should know?” "Yes." After answering that, Hanil started talking before Ja-yun stopped him. “That night, I was monitoring Ji Seon-woo.” In the process, Hanil saw Hyeon-woo slipping out of the hospital, and he followed him until he met and joined Leon. The two succeeded in getting close to the dragon, and met another person. That person was Ji Hyeon-woo.  “There were four people on the dragon side. Bacardi, a hydra, a dragon, and a mysterious person. On the other hand, Ji Hyeon-woo was alone on the other side.” At first, he thought he should help Ji Hyeon-woo. However, his body did not move easily due to the fear the dragon gave him. Then Leon stepped in and lured Bacardi to another place. Still, there were three enemies left. Besides, there was an unusual existence. Hanil hesitated about what to say next. It was because he had no talent for fighting. At that time, Ji Hyeon-woo started to move. “Weren’t there any of the monsters he tamed?” “None.” Even so, Ji Hyeon-woo did not lose. He went out and used his strange power to press the enemy. “A strange power?” “Yes, it was very strange. Looking at it, it felt like someone was looking into the bottom of my soul. I felt like I was being eaten up by fear.” Hanil shuddered. "Didn't Leon see that?" “I didn’t see it because I was fighting Bacardi from a distance.” “It was . . .  it was a really strange power. Like–  like– !" Hanil muttered in a low voice, covering his face with both hands. “He looked more like a monster than a human. What should I say?” “Like a demon.” Leon said in a whisper. "You're right. Like a demon!” It was an absurd story. HM: Leon has taken the first step towards betrayal. It may be because I like Oshi no ko. But I like the sound of betrayal and revenge. wwwwww Davine: I knew this would happen as soon as Leon had come here. YRR: What an interesting turn of events.

102.   “Do you want to play Zenoris?”   What it means by coming here all of a sudden is to play a game. Chae Yoo-jeong looked at Kang Ji-hye angrily and answered.   "Get out."   “I came here because I was worried about Gyung-seok oppa. Do you think I came here for your benefit?”   After Chae Yoo-jeong returned to his apartment, Yoo Gyung-seok found out that he was taking medication again and contacted him several times a day to say hello. The same was true for Kang Ji-hye.   The contact was annoying, so he ignored it all, but the result was to barge inside his house.   ‘ I think it would be better to send at least a reply in the future, even if it is annoying.’   “For unemployed people who have a lot of time, the best thing to do is play training games. Try Zenoris.”   “Get the fuck out of here.”   However, the timing when Kang Ji-hye came to his house was not particularly good. Chae Yoo-jeong's current mood was at its worst. Chae Yoo-jeong finds out that Yoo Ji-han has completely abandoned Hero, so he played another game instead of Hero. It was an overseas FPS game called ‘Team Black.’   It was a game he had been playing mindlessly just to kill time. Then, just a few hours ago, he met a non-mannered user.   There are countless users who use abusive language or t-bagging in FPS games. However, the username of the unmannered user he encountered this time was surprisingly ‘I’m sleepy.’   The anticipation he had was shattered before even 10 minutes had passed. First of all, the voice coming from the other microphone was different, and later on, he even used an illegal program. There was no way Yoo Ji-han, with his high self-esteem, would play like that.   He felt so bad that such a scumbag was using the same username as Yoo Ji-han. So Chae Yoo-jeong wrote an incredibly detailed report and filed a report in the game company's hack report section. Since a video is attached, there was a high probability that the unscrupulous user will be banned.   “There’s nothing to do. I heard you quit Hero these days.”   Kang Ji-ye glanced at the empty medicine bag on the desk, sighed, and persuaded him again.   Chae Yoo-jeong needed something he could concentrate on. Otherwise, he would go back to being like a doll with no interest in anything like before. This was also the part that Yoo Gyung-seok was most worried about.   Fortunately, after starting Hero and becoming a professional player, he got a lot better than before... but he still couldn't be rest assured. He didn't know why, but since Chae Yoo-jeong quit Hero, he needed something new to have fun with.   “I have a guild right now, and I’d like you to come and do some guild work.”   “Why? You do it.”   “I’m a tanker. To grow a guild, you need to attract aggro from a strong dealer job. So please come at least a little bit. If you help me, I won’t bother you anymore.”   Rather than begging him to do something, this method of suggesting something at a cost worked much better for Chae Yoo-jeong.   “Just try it for three months. After that, I won't say anything even if you quit it. You’re still free this year anyway.”   “…….”   “If you change your mind, tell me. I'm going."   With those words, Kang Ji-hye left the house. Chae Yoo-jeong, who was left alone, looked at his monitor with his chin resting on his hand, face expressionless.   ***   Chae Yoo-jeong, who started Zenoris, reached max level in 15 days and two months later, in the ranked match, he took first place in the Chain Blade class rankings. It was the result of an abundance of time, his control skills, and his money.   Chae Yoo-jeong, who took first place in the Chain Blade profession, changed the username to 'Yoo Chae' by buying it from another user. He then entered the guild run by Kang Ji-ye.   [Party] Drink some water: For the members   [Party] Drink some water: You and I know each other   [Party] Drink some water: I explained that you will only take care of it for me while I don't have free time due to work   [Party] Drink some water: It would be a waste to dig up all the money you poured into it, so if you’re going to quit, just hold out until the selection match.   Kang Ji-hye, who had told him to only try it for 3 months, saw Chae Yoo-jeong flying around with a chain blade and seemed to get greedy, so she quickly extended the period to October. Still, Chae Yoo-jeong took over the position without saying anything.   Although he didn't enjoy it as much as he enjoyed Hero with Yoo Ji-han, he also enjoyed Zenoris in his own way. Unlike Hero, whose goal was to increase his tier score, Zenoris was more focused on character growth, so he was able to do it without pressure.   [Guild] Mocha Bread: Gilma-nim   [Guild] Mocha Bread: Are you coming to the Hurdian Abyss space?   [Guild] Yoo Chae: yeah   [Guild] Mocha Bread: Abyss is so difficult   [Guild] Mocha Bread: is it okay?   [Guild] Yoo Chae: I say I’m going because it’s okay   [Guild] Yoo Chae: Otherwise, why would I say to go?   [Guild] TheHunter: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ   [Guild] Bright Clouds: omg   [Guild] Mocha Bread: ㅇㅅㅇ..   [Guild] Mocha Bread: That’s true.   [Guild] Mocha Bread: You are so mean   [Guild] Yoo Chae: haha   [Guild] Harn: fkㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ   [Guild] Manaolingnam: Where does the smell come from?ㅠㅠ   [Guild] Manaolingnam: Smells like a tortoiseshell ㅠㅠ   [Guild] Seasoned Crab Soup: It doesn’t seem like there’s anything particularly new here.   [Guild] Bright Clouds: Strange   [Guild] Bright Clouds: Water- nim  said she brought in someone who would definitely raise the value of the guild's name...   [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: We have brought in someone who will further increase the value of the name of the guild, which is infamous for being a collection of idiots^^~   [Guild] I'm getting lazy: Ah~ it was worthy of the name~!   [Guild] Staric: Then I agree ㅋㅋ   The guild was also the reason why Chae Yoo-jeong continued without giving up on Zenoris. All of the guild users in were insane, so much so that it was surprising where and how Kang Ji-hye had collected so many crazy people.   That was actually more convenient for Chae Yoo-jeong. People who don't have to show unnecessary pretense or kindness to each other. It was a similar feeling to when he met Kwon Do-hyun.   Chae Yoo-jeong became a guild leader in the Early Evening in May. Since then, he has become closer to the guild members and has had a few troubles with Fever. In the process, he went up several times due to his cheeky personality and brat-like behavior.   Chae Yoo-jeong did not pay much attention to whether others criticized him or how many times he posted comments on social media and completely ignored them. Even if he cursed at him anyway, they were people who didn't even know his real face or name. He wasn't free enough to listen to such meaningless words.   Three months passed and it was August. Drink some water began looking for newbies she could bring in to participate in the development of the Guardian guild. Shortly thereafter, she brought in one of the users, saying he had been recommended to her.   [Guild] Yoo Chae: Do you still have Athero seeds left in your inventory?   [Guild] Drink some water: yes, I have some left   [Guild] Drink some water: If you need it now, come to Pherocco Lighthouse ㄱ   [Guild] Yoo Chae: Okay   [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Can I get some if I go to Drink Some Water too? Just finished the raid Dungeon   [Guild] Let's do this: I-I-I-I want to go too   [Guild] TheHunter: 2 people wanted to go, reaching area 8 in 20 minutes ㄱㄱ   [Guild] Harn: Are you with the newbie? Then, I'm going too   [Guild] Drink some water: Ah right, a newbie has joined the guild.   [All] Yoo Chae: Newbie?   Due to bad timing, Chae Yoo-jeong, who was away for a moment while taking medicine in the kitchen, did not notice that a greeting time had been swept through the guild chat window.   Chae Yoo-jeong went to Pherocco Lighthouse to meet Kang Ji-hye, and only then did he see the username of the new guild member.   [All] Drink some water: oh, haven't you been reading the guild chat?   [All] Drink some water: I'm Sleepy

59.   There was no way an Awakened wouldn’t have known it was a monster. The big eyes that had been looking at them rolled and turned to inspect the approaching human.   The reptile’s bright yellow eyes narrowed to slits. Its huge body trembled.   ‘That’s a familiar face.’   His childhood had been perfect in his past. He was stronger than anyone else and was a fearsome being. No monster dared to attack and even if it did, it became a meal.   His parents once told him that there were things in the world to be wary of, but the young dragon, having not yet encountered the demonic human, roamed around in triumph.   Then one day, he went out farther than usual.   He found an unusual creature that looked pale and weak.   ‘Aah, is that a demon?’   He was curious because he had never seen a demon.   ‘Demons are to be wary of. Most are weaker than us, but there are those who can subdue us with a single finger.’   He had heard that, but the existence in front of him didn’t look like it could subdue a dragon with a single finger. So he approached calmly. He was thinking of catching it, doing some research on the demons, and messing with it.   ‘That was a mistake.’   Seeing him proudly appearing, the demon frowned and spat out his words.   ‘What’s this?’   ‘Kieeek!’   What do you mean by that, I’m a great dragon! He shouted loudly and confidently jumped at the demon, and after that he understood the word pain. It was said that he had been beaten to death. The strong scales and tenacious vitality that he was usually proud of were just punching bags that allowed him to be hit more.   ‘Okay, you’re the Bike number 3 from now on. Your name will be Two-eyed.’   The great Black Dragon Harmonia became known as Two-eyed. He was so upset about being beaten that he even tried to ask his parents for help, to no avail. This particular opponent was a terrifying existence that even fought with the first place in the hierarchy of the Demon Realm.  He knew at that time that he was a human, not a demon.   It was hell for a while after that. When called, he ran as he was called and became a bike. What the heck was a bike? He was even number 3, not number 1 or number 2!   ‘Who am I!’   His eyes trembled with rage, but he couldn’t escape once he was caught. Life will be like this. The past of beating monsters with our will would not come back.   When he thought so, he disappeared.   He started hitting the bow again, but there was no one to stop him. The only thing left now was happiness. When he thought that way, he met another being.   It was an unknown demon. Two-eyed fought fiercely, but he couldn’t defeat the demon. His parents said that dragons were great beings, but why do they just explode stuff here and there? He was so sad that he felt like crying.   ‘Go in here.’   What the victor, the Demon, wanted was to enter with Two-eyed through an entrance. The entrance was a portal to another world, but Two-eyed, somewhat less magically literate, couldn’t figure it out. He had no choice but to step inside it.   But what was this! After passing through the portal, another world was before his eyes. There were even a lot of people there. Just like that terrifying human who was stronger than the demons!   Two-eyed stared for a moment. Then he realized that the people here were weak compared to that human he met before.  This level could be easily won. A smirk broke out involuntarily.   Although the people attacked it, it didn’t hurt much compared to the splendid effect.   ‘Alright, let me show you where my confidence comes from.’   Two-eyed slowly pulled his body out of the portal.  If I went back, I would meet that demon, so it was okay to stay here for a while.   It wasn’t long before that thought was broken. The face of the new man, who had entered, was strangely familiar. Dragons are an intelligent species; once they have seen something they do not easily forget.   ‘Why are you here!’   Two-eyed closed his eyes tightly and then opened them. But what he saw hadn’t changed. He was still standing in front of him, looking up at him. Two-eyed slowly lowered his head with a frightened expression. Then, after putting his head firmly on the floor, he rolled his eyes again.   “Hyung!”   In the meantime, two of the guys who were fighting were quite good, and one weaker one clung to him. It was common for the weak to entrust themselves to the strong, clinging to him for his protection.   ‘What bad luck.’   Two-eyed quietly blinked. It was a sign of submission.   “Hyung, why did you come back! Are you crazy?”   Seon-woo was terribly angry.   “Get out immediately.”   Do-jin pulled Hyeon-woo’s hand and put it in his arms. And since he was about to move immediately, Hyeon-woo urgently shouted.   “Wait a minute, just wait a minute!”   “What are you waiting for!”   Do-jin also scolded Hyeon-woo, who was nervous unlike usual.   “I knew you’re fearless, but you shouldn’t be like this.”   “Look- look there!”   Hyeon-woo quickly pointed at the dragon. The dragon, which had proudly raised its body and arrogantly looked down at the surroundings, was lowering its body like a well-behaved puppy. And he rolled his big yellow eyes, which looked strangely gentle. There seemed to be no intent to attack.   “Why is it doing that?”   When Hye-sun spat out the words with a lot of tension, Ga-jun answered.   “I don’t know. What’s wrong with it?”   “If my eyes are not wrong, it doesn’t seem to have any intention to fight.”   People nodded their heads as if they agreed with Ja-yun’s words. Just a moment ago, it was glaring at people as if to tear them apart. Why did it suddenly change its attitude?  The worried eyes turned to Hyeon-woo, who had just arrived.   “Hyung.”   Seon-woo ruffled his hair with his hand. Then he asked in a deep voice.   “Is it similar to Spotty?”   Hyeon-woo answered with an awkward smile.   “I guess so?”   The words also reached the ears of other Awakened. Ivan and Junichi looked puzzled, and Leon crossed his arms and looked at the monster and at Hyeon-woo.   “Is taming possible?”   Actually, it wasn’t taming, but Hyeon-woo nodded at first. And cautiously stepped forward. Seon-woo and Do-jin guarded him by his side.   “Two-eyed?”   When the name was called, the monster blinked slowly.   “Can you come over here?”   After saying that, Two-eyed began to slowly draw his body forward. A long neck, a solid chest, and then a torso, which were quite long and large. It was a size that was incomparable to the Spotty. The party hall shook as the body came out completely. It looked like the hall would collapse soon if it stayed like this.   “Shall we go outside?”   Everyone had no choice but to agree with Hyeon-woo’s words. When everyone left the party hall, Two-eyed stretched out his body. Standing against the background of the broken party hall and lighting, the figure looked like a monster from the Japanese prehistoric era.   “It reminds me of Godzilla.”   Hearing what Ivan whistled, Junichi looked at him with an expression of absurdity.   “I’m not saying they look exactly the same.”   “I know that much.”   Two-eyed stretched and lowered his body again. His behavior was like that of a well-trained dog.   “Can you make your body smaller?”   He nodded at Hyeon-woo’s words and was enveloped in light. And when the light disappeared, a young man with black hair and yellow eyes stood in his place.   This was unexpected. Hyeon-woo blankly stared at the handsome young man.   ‘No, I knew it was a dragon.’   If it was a dragon, it was possible to polymorph after becoming an adult. Compared to other black dragons, he was smaller and less childlike, so he didn’t know, but now he was an adult. Hyeon-woo called his name again with some admiration.   “Two-eyed?”   “Yes.”   He even knew how to speak.    Hye-sun stared at Two-eyed with an expression as if her eyes were about to pop out. She couldn’t even take her eyes off it.   “Stop watching, Nu-nim.”   Ga-jun, who couldn’t see it, covered Hye-sun’s eyes.    “Ah, why! It’s a monster!”   “To me, it looks like a naked young man. Let’s protect ourselves from the sight.”   “Damn it.”   Hye-sun grumbled, but quietly covered her eyes.   “Anyway, this case will remain peculiar.”   Ja-yun put on a tired expression. Even so, they did not relax for a second. They couldn’t. A huge monster had appeared and now it turned into a human. The battle had stopped thanks to Hyeon-woo, but it was unpredictable what would have happened if they had continued to fight.   “Why are things always so complicated with you?”   Hye-sun let out a deep sigh and turned around.     ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine, YaagRabRag HM: ma-ma-ma~ No HW’s powers reveal….

58.   Chan-young, who had been running, stopped after he caught up to A-yun and the people from the Seon-Hyeon guild among the party ahead.   “Please take care.”   Chan-young, who put Hyeon-woo down as if throwing him away, turned around. He seemed to be going back to the party. Hyeon-woo reached out to him when he got down to the floor, but he was already running far away.   ‘What’s going on.’   Hyeon-woo tousled his hair roughly and looked in the direction he came from. There was an intense, demonic force coming.   ‘I have to go back.’   I couldn’t leave my brother alone in a place like that. No matter how strong Ji Seon-woo was, he was my only younger brother. As he put his foot forward with that thought, someone grabbed his arm.   “No.”   It was A-yun.   “We are helping by staying back.”   No. It was much more helpful for me to be there and show my strength properly. I had been hiding his strength for several reasons, but now I was done with that. His brother’s safety was more important.   Hyeon-woo took A-yun’s hand away and strode forward.   “No way!”   People from the Seon-Hyeon Guild blocked his way, but they couldn’t catch Hyeon-woo. He didn’t seem that fast, but he cleverly slipped through the crowd. Compared to other Awakened, he didn’t look like someone with relatively high stamina.   “Come back!”   He heard A-yun’s voice from behind, but he ignored it and ran. His body that had become heavy from inactivity gradually lightened. It was also just a matter of time that he would catch up with Chan-young, who was returning.   Chan-young, who turned around at his appearance, said with a surprised expression.   “Why are you following me!”   “How could I leave my little brother alone!”   “He’s not alone! Go back.”   Chan-young stopped and once again blocked Hyeon-woo.   “If you are there, the guild leader will get nervous and won’t be able to fight properly!”   Why couldn’t this person properly grasp the situation? Chan-young looked back and forth between the party leader and Hyeon-woo as he suppressed his anger. He had to run right away and help the Guild Leader, but he now had to take him back.   Would I be able to reach in time if I left him back? Chan-young, who gritted his teeth and pondered, came to a quick conclusion. No, time was running out, I would not be able to bring him back and then return to the party. If so, there was only one way. He said, pushing Hyeon-woo behind a large wall nearby.   “Don’t move from here if you don’t want to die.”   I couldn’t help it now. Chan-young knew that Hyeon-woo had Phoenix’s guardian.  That item blocked three attacks regardless of the size of the opponent’s attack. If that was the case, it would be okay to leave Hyeon-woo alone.   “Don’t move.”   Having said that, Chan-young turned around.   In the meantime, the power that had pushed the party hall to its limits bloomed. The rift, which had grown to a terrifying size, stopped expanding only after destroying most of the party hall.   And the owner of the power he had felt until now began to appear through the cracks.   Krrng .   The beast groaned. Even though it was just that, goosebumps ran down his spine. The first thing to appear was an elongated snout. The mouth, covered with shiny black scales, opened, revealing bizarre teeth. Then, a long tongue flicked through the air and began to roar.   Krwa-rwa-rwa-rwa!   Spotty seemed nervous at the sound and raised his tail. Despite its similar appearance to Spotty’s actual form, this one was different. His body began shaking and he was breaking out in a cold sweat.   Kero was only doing slightly better. He had returned to his original form with feet firmly planted on the ground.   This was an unusual opponent. It was not known whether Kero and Spotty would be able to win even if they fought with all their might.   It was felt by the people here as well. Junichi, who had been leaning on a pillar that was intact the whole time, stared at it and grabbed his sword. A spark began to rise from Ivan’s hand, and Leon also started preparing for battle.   “Wow, that’s going crazy.”   As Hye-sun, the tank, stepped forward with her shield, Ja-yun began manipulating the wind. Ga-jun released his poison into it.   “What about you?”   As soon as Ga-jun asked, Chan-young jumped inside and stood next to Seon-woo.    “Well, I think I’m roughly ready.”   Although it seemed that they were not the only ones prepared. He had no choice but to say that to relieve tension.   Before they knew it, the animal’s head came out of the gate. Then came the neck, hard chest, teeth, and forepaws with sharp claws.   “Is it a real dragon?”   The others thought Ga-jun was right. Although Spotty had been called the Black Drake, it seemed that a real black dragon was emerging.   “This is terrible.”   Hye-sun let out a deep sigh.   ‘If he does well, this place will become my grave.’   Why would such a terrible being suddenly appear? Looking at the faces of the people here, it didn’t seem like she would lose, but she didn’t know what would happen to her. Because it was almost certain that she would stand in front of her once holding her shield.   ‘But I can’t run away.’   She clenched her fist and pounded her shield. Hye-sun’s ability was to reduce damage received, and to strengthen her attack ability. She didn’t have the ability to provoke, but she could draw its attention with a commotion.   ‘Now, look here.’   Big yellow eyes looked at Hye-sun. And soon smiled. Despite his reptilian face, it was not difficult to recognize him.   His body, which had been slowly coming out, began to pick up speed. The body that seemed to come out endlessly was finally revealed.   “Isn’t that size a scam?”   Ja-yun, who was looking up at him blankly, said.   “It’s a scam.”   “It’s a scam.”   Ga-jun and Hye-sun answered.    On the other hand, Seon-woo was calmly raising water droplets in the air. It was a great weapon by itself, but it would become even more terrifying if Chan-young next to him energized it.   Kirk-Kirk-Kirk.   The dragon, which took out all of his body, made a strange noise. It sounded like laughter. Spotty shrank even more. And Kero was tilting his head at that point. Still, the dragon felt stronger and more frightening than that. But somehow it looked familiar.   “Krrng?”   Why did it look familiar? Kero narrowed his eyes, but the dragon attacked first. As it turned its house-sized body and swung its tail, there was a sharp wind noise. Hye-sun was the first to block him, and then an attack was made.   A whip of water soaked in lightning wrapped around the body, and poison mixed with the wind swirled around him.   “I can’t lose.”   Ivan poured the flames from his hand at the dragon, and Junichi and Leon took up their swords and stepped forward. It was not easy to pierce the scales because he was so big and hard, but he did his best to move.   Lightning flashed, ice exploded, and the flames that landed flew as if to burn everything. It was a spectacular sight to see. But even after all that, the dragon was still intact without moving. This didn’t look good.   “Did it hurt him?”    When Ga-jun said that with a nervous expression, Hye-sun opened her eyes and said.   “Don’t just say that!”    “Why?”   “That’s the magic word to lose!”    “How can that happen?”   “Here it is!”   As soon as the words fell, the dragon stood up intact.   “Just why you!”   Saying that, Hye-sun stopped the dragon’s tail from swaying again. It was so heavy that her body was pushed backwards by itself. She kept dealing attacks like that, but the scales were only slightly singed and there were no major wounds.   It would be nice if they had a strategy, but this was a monster they had never seen before.   Numerous forces poured down on the vacant lot where the building collapsed. Among them was Seon-woo’s ability that stood out, followed by Kero. The flames pouring out of the three heads were not far behind Ivan’s abilities.   Krrck.   The dragon’s cumbersome movements gradually began to take shape. It looked like it wasn’t familiar with combat. The pattern was simple.   Kyaoooo!   At that point, Spotty seemed to have gained courage and began assisting in the attack. And that angered the dragon.   ‘How dare you, how dare you!’   The Dragon from the Demon Realm, who had been on the defense, caused trouble. The dragon’s stomach simmered, and his mouth opened. He was going to fire its breath. But the present Awakened weren’t ones to just allow an attack.   Attacks poured in, and Hye-sun changed her position. Spotty clung to her head, and Kero did a whole body headbutt, changing the direction of its breath. It was a moment of nervousness.   And Hyeon-woo, who was watching it from a little distance away, aiming for an opportunity to intervene, suddenly realized one thing.   ‘Doesn’t that dragon look familiar?’   In the past, when Hyeon-woo lived in the Demon Realm, he had three bikes. Among them, No. 1 was the first he had subjugated, No. 2 was a huge snake that only inhabited the Demon Realm, and No. 3 was the largest dragon among them. Even so, the dragon was young, so he was on the small side compared to other dragons.   Hyeon-woo rubbed his chin with his hand and then tried to increase the size of the young dragon he had seen. Didn’t they say that usually after the hatchling season, they grow up big all at once? I’m not quite sure, but there was also a lot of resemblance if you looked closely.   Actually, the black dragon just resembled him, but it wouldn’t hurt to try. Hyeon-woo slowly began to move forward.   The others were busy fighting and didn’t notice Hyeon-woo’s movements.   What was the name of Bike No. 3?   “Ah! I remembered.”   Two-eyed.   Unlike Spotty, no name came to his mind, so he named it after its most prominent feature. Of course, most creatures had two eyes, but his eyes were exceptionally big.   As he got closer, another noticed him. Leon looked at Hyeon-woo and made a surprised expression. When he noticed, it didn’t take long for the others to notice Hyeon-woo as well.   ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine, YaagRabRag HM: he didn’t… reveal… his power in this chapter either haa…… Davine: At this point let’s just forget that Hyeon-woo was ever powerful.

57.   Some people like to party, while others don’t.   “Why, why did I lose at rock-paper-scissors!”   Even while the party was in progress, portals might open, and monsters might pour out. That’s why there was someone who had to remain in the guild just in case, and it was decided to arrange the 2nd and 6th teams.    The first team was selected from the top teams and one team was selected from the middle teams.   “Don’t cry, team leader.”   “But why! I’m good at rock-paper-scissors! To lose at a time like this!”    “It’s fate.”   The deputy team leader looked out the window with a dejected expression. The party must be in full swing by now.   “Seon-woo niiim !”   The deputy leader’s actions made the team leader cry again.   Basically, those who entered the Seon-Hyeon Guild were similar. They admired Ji Seon-woo, who was stronger than anyone else. Of course, it wasn’t that there were no people who came in with the idea of wanting to join a large company, but eventually, as time passed, they changed their minds.   She couldn’t help but be fascinated when she saw Ji Seon-woo fight even once. That was why the deputy team leader fully understood Lena, the team leader of Team 2 who was crying.   “I didn’t think a portal would open today. Gosh . I just wanted to go to the party.”   Lena was muttering with her cheek against the desk when suddenly a sharp notification sounded. Upon hearing the sound, Lena jumped to her feet, and the deputy team leader quickly pressed a button located nearby. ─ A huge portal is about to open in Myeong-dong! Measurements suggest that it’s most likely an emitter gate. Asking for help from the Seon-Hyeon Guild.   Lena quickly stood up and said,   “Let’s go!”   She packed her weapons and inspected the armor she was wearing. And just as she was about to leave, she heard another notification. ─ A gate has opened! Monsters are pouring out. The location is Gangnam! Quick help is requested!   Despite the sudden request, Lena was not taken aback. Because she had more teams waiting. But the notifications didn’t stop there. ─ A gate appears to be opening in Eunpyeong! No, not just Eunpyeong! Gates are now appearing simultaneously all over the place.    There were ten places in Seoul alone, but the numbers were staggering if the other provinces were included. Moreover, all of them were release-type gates. The faces of Lena and the deputy team leader went pale.   “Contact the Guild Leader! I’ll go somewhere nearby first!”   It wasn’t just to the Seon-Hyeon Guild that the request came in. Other guilds were also moving quickly at the frantic requests. Normally, this would have been enough, but with the sudden opening of the gates and the people who had not been able to evacuate, the conditions were becoming the worst in many ways.   ***   “What’s that?”   People stopped at the bizarre circular entrance that suddenly appeared in the middle of Gangnam.   “Isn’t it a portal?”   “Why is it open here? But there was no warning today.”   It was rare for a portal to open without warning.   “Really?”   If the portal was open, they would have been notified in advance to evacuate. The Awakened guarding the portal were also nowhere to be seen. A few immature people had already started to stand around it and take pictures or videos. And five minutes later, hell opened in the middle of the city.   Krrrrk.   The first thing that jumped out of the entrance was a dark red wolf. When a wolf the size of a cow jumped out, a person recording nearby froze. The wolf did not hesitate to take advantage of such a good opportunity and immediately charged at the person, baring its sharp teeth.   “Aaaaargh!”   Someone pulled the screaming man by the scruff of his neck. It was an Awakened who happened to be nearby. Lucky for that person, but bad for the Awakened. His level was not high.   “Run away quickly!”   Still, He didn’t run away. If I ran, most people would die. Ordinary humans can’t overcome the speed of wolves.   ‘I don’t even have a weapon.’   He sighed and stepped in front of the wolf.   “Hurry, Hurry and call 511!”   It was a number to urgently report when a portal or monster appeared.  It was only then that people hurriedly picked up their phones.   “Just a little, let’s hold on a little bit longer.”   The closest guild was the Seon-Hyeon Guild. If they moved fast, help could get there in no time. The Awakened looked at the portal with a pale face.   ***   The cake was chosen and prepared by Hyeon-woo. I chose the large, white cake because he wanted to give my little brother a memorable birthday and this cake shone under the lights.   “I’ll light a candle.”   With those words, Hyeon-woo lit each candle and went out. He was only 22 years old. I hope my younger brother, who had more years left than years lived, will continue to be happy in the future.   ‘Few more seconds left.’   When you light this candle, you’re done. He brought the lighter towards the last candle. Suddenly, he felt a huge force pressing down on the party.   Thud .   The sound of something heavy falling. The chandelier on the ceiling swayed like crazy, then it quieted down. After that, people started to mutter. A few people took out their cell phones, and others followed suit.   When Chan-young answered the phone, his expression hardened.   “Gates are said to be opening simultaneously across the country.”   That was enough.  Seon-woo stepped forward and said.   “The party is over.”    “Ah, damn it.”   Hye-sun scratched her head and stepped forward.   “Looks like everyone got the same news.”   At that, Ga-jun shrugged.   “They said the standby team has already been dispatched.”   “Us too. What about you?”   Ja-yun answered Hye-sun’s question.   “So have ours.”   “Is the current team still not enough?”   A sigh fell naturally.   “First of all, we’ve to send all the escort personnel back.”   “I’ll do that too.”   Beside Hye-sun, Ga-jun nodded and reached into his jacket to take out the poisoned bottle.   “Hey, why did you bring poison to the party?”   “JUst i case I fought Ji Seon-woo.”   “On my birthday? You’re like a poisonous snake.”   “What a surprise. Aren’t you glad though? Because I’m properly prepared.”   “I am too.”   Hye-sun took out her shield from her space bracelet. Ja-yun also spoke with his sister as he prepared for battle,   “A-yun -ah , you should also go with the others. Get as far away from here as possible.”   A-yun shook her head and nodded. Even she, a normal person who couldn’t sense what was happening, could tell something was going to happen here soon. Judging from what was occurring all around Korea right now, it was probable that a gate was about to open here too.   “Is it very dangerous?”   “A little.”   Ja-yun replied with a bitter smile. Actually not a little. It was because the energy I felt was getting stronger and stronger. How high will this power level rise to? I have an uneasy feeling. Therefore, all of the low-level Awakened at the party were sent out.   “I’ll stay!”   Several people offered to stay, but the guild leaders refused.   “Other areas are also seriously being affected right now. We need to direct others there anyways. Leave it to us here.”   After sending everyone out like that, there weren’t even ten people left in the empty party hall. The top five Guild leaders in Korea, as well as Ivan from Russia, Junichi from Japan, and Leon from America.   “I think you can go out too.”   Ga-jun said, but they did not move.   “Can’t I watch it?”   Junichi asked calmly.   “No. What do you want to watch anyways? Don’t you have any intention of helping?”   “I want to but.”   Even if they tried to help, there were many things that got in the way because of various problems and negotiations between countries. But even so, I didn’t want to leave this place. Something great will happen. I have a feeling.   “I’m not leaving either.”   When the eyes watching from the side disappeared, Ivan calmly spat out his words and agreed with Junichi.   “Phew, you unlucky bastards. Then what about you?”   Ga-jun tried to hold back the swearing and asked Leon.   “South Korea and the United States have long been allies. Wouldn’t it be right to help if I can?”   Leon was better.  However, Hye-sun wrinkled her brow and grumbled because she didn’t like the other two’s answers.   “Are they trying to get attention?”   “By the way, Nu -nim , aren’t there only five S-class awakened people here?”   With Foreigners excluded, he counted.   “That’s right.”   “But do we really need to be here?”   “You know why, don’t you?”   Hye-sun patted Ga-jun on the back. The amount of energy gathering was unusual. It was enough to get goosebumps even on the backs of S-class Awakened people.   “Yeah, but.”   “Then wait patiently. Look, the gate is opening.”   Small cracks in the air began to grow. A crack, the size of a human head, quickly became large enough for a car to pass through, and because that was not enough, it grew even bigger.   “Hyung. Get out too.”   Seon-woo winked at Chan-young, who was still there. Then, without hesitation, Chan-young stood up and hugged Hyeon-woo like a bag of rice.   “What? Hey! Wait!”   Hyeon-woo tried to pull himself out, but Chan-young grabbed him and started running.    “Kirrk!”   Spotty and Kero, who had been crying their voices out the entire time the portal appeared, tried to follow, but Hyeon-woo waved his hand.   “You stay there! Seon-woo, protect Seon-woo!”   In an instant, the distance began to widen. The party hall, which seemed large, became smaller and smaller. People who had left earlier began to appear, but Chan-young did not stop.   ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine, YaagRabRag HM: just when I got to the end, I was like oh shit it’s the end….

56. People exclaimed in admiration at the sight of Ji Seon-woo, who appeared at the same time as the firecrackers that exploded outside. One could feel the confidence as he walked out of the balcony. The illuminating hero. As in the broadcast, they were different from normal people. Somewhat surprising how his Hyung, Hyeon-woo's sense of presence was second to that of his younger brother. “He said he was Ji Seon-woo’s Hyung. Neither of them is lacking.” “I know.” After watching him on TV, those who previously underestimated Hyeon-woo underwent a change of heart. “Ji Seon-woo is like a lion. There’s no way the Hyung of the lion, who’s the king of beasts, could merely be a cat.” "I'll have to take a more cautious approach." Seon-woo passed through the murmurs and went back to his original place with Hyeon-woo. After confirming with him, Chan-young let out a sigh of relief and exclaimed. "We welcome the distinguished guests who have come to the party hosted by the Seon-hyeon Guild today. I hope you all will enjoy it to your heart's content.” With those words, soft music played in the hall, and the birthday party began. There were no grandiose greetings or welcome ceremony, but it was enough to enjoy it the way one wanted because each person was meticulously cared for. However, simply having fun could not fulfill the purpose of coming here. So some people began to move slowly. First, Seon-woo was surrounded by people, and then Hyeon-woo also began to gather a crowd. 'I'm sure it'll be a nuisance.' I tried to escape, but even if they were weaker than me, they were all Awakened. It seemed impossible to escape openly in such a wide and open space. As he was tickling Kero, whom he had hugged for no reason, someone bumped into his back. It was Do-jin. With Do-jin supporting him, I felt at ease . Hyeon-woo felt that he could overcome the somewhat troublesome task. “Ji Hyeon-woo- ssi .” The first person to speak was a red-haired foreigner. “My name is Ivan of Russia. It is an honor to be able to meet in person someone whom I have only heard about through information.” At the same time, he gently curled his lips, which was unpleasant. Because his eyes weren't smiling. I didn't want to get close to the Russian, but it was Seon-woo's birthday party. I couldn't make him look bad here. Hyeon-woo smiled because he wanted the party to continue smoothly until at least they cut the birthday cake he had prepared. "Hello, nice to meet you. You must have come from afar." “I’m from America.” Then, he looked at Leon from the other side, who was driving people around just like Seon-woo. Maybe it was because it was a famous American guild. They were very popular even though they were not the hosts. But wasn't that the same here? Right now, Ivan was attached to Hyeon-woo, but he was in a situation that wasn't much different from Leon's until just now. This man was the son of the head of the best guild in Russia. It was a once-in-a-moon case in which a son became an Awakened after his father, and his power was said to surpass his father, who was called the Russian Brown Bear. “Ah, the music has changed. I know this too.” Ivan still held out his hand to Hyeon-woo with a smirk. “Would you like to dance with me?” For a moment, his expression almost contorted. Ivan was also a man, he himself was a man too. But he wanted to dance together? We were two people who stood out, but if we did something like that, it seemed like all eyes would be on us. So the moment he was about to refuse, a hand reached out from behind. The big, tough hand grabbed hold of Hyeon-woo's hand from where it was and gently pulled it toward him. He was dragged away and ended up leaning against Do-jin's chest. “I have a previous engagement with him first.” Do-jin spoke in a quiet but determined manner. “Then, I’ll wait for the next dance.” “I’ve reserved that one as well.” “Then, the next.” “I think you know what the answer will be.” Ivan’s smile hardened. 'You’re angry.' Hyeon-woo looked at Ivan while holding Do-jin in his arms. Seeing this, it seems a bit amusing. “You are an interesting person.” “You are also funny enough.” It was the first time I had ever seen Do-jin refuse to lose even a single word like this.  He wondered if something might happen, but Ivan unexpectedly quietly withdrew. “There’s no need to get so hot on a good day like this. I’ll look forward to next time." After Ivan got farther away, Do-jin naturally turned Hyeon-woo around and held his hand again. “Then shall we dance?”  "What?" What did this person just say? Wasn't that what he said to stop Ivan?  When he stood there blankly because he didn’t understand, Do-jin let go of his hand and stood right in front of him, bending his waist. Then, he bowed politely and held out his hand again. “Would you like to dance with me?” “ Unn .”  It didn't seem like it was this hard even when fighting against the demons who were ranked top in the Demon World. There was a lot of curiosity in the gaze looking at his side. “Are you really like this?” Hyeon-woo clenched his teeth and said, but Do-jin just laughed and didn't back down. What was in it was a bit of grumpiness, mischief, and sincerity. He had nowhere else to go. 'We’ll see about that!' Hyeon-woo grabbed Do-jin's hand, which he reached out to him. "Gladly."  The two made their way to the center of the hall. Some happy people were dancing there, and they went in between them. “Just so you know, I can’t dance. I've never danced before." Hyeon-woo whispered in Do-jin's ear as if he belatedly remembered. “Well, come to think of it, I’ve never really danced before.” "What?" Then what were we doing! Embarrassed, his body naturally became tense. There must have been music playing, but he couldn't hear it properly. “What were you thinking!” As he hit Do-jin's arm with his fist, his body was pushed back little by little. “You are stronger than you look.” "That's not what's important right now!" “Well, shouldn’t we try to roughly match the music?” Then, Do-jin put his other hand on Hyeon-woo's waist. Then, he began to move his feet, leading his stiff body. “Just follow my lead.” Do-jin said he didn't know how to dance, but he skillfully led Hyeon-woo by moving his body in a very comfortable manner. Despite stepping on his feet several times along the way, his content smile never faded. As he kept looking at him like that, it seemed that the tension gradually eased. His steps started to feel more natural. “You said you didn’t know how to dance.” No matter how I look at it, he doesn’t seem like a person who doesn't know how to dance . It seemed like he was just trying to tease Hyeon-woo. Had it not been for this situation, he would have been more flexible. 'I was nervous too.' It seemed that there was pressure to do well without noticing, since it was his brother's first birthday party after he disappeared. As soon as the tension was released, the music filling the hall was clearly heard. He didn't know the name of the song, but it sounded really nice. Now he knows how to match the rhythm quite a bit. After playing around with his feet a few times, he started to feel excited when he turned around in a big circle as Do-jin led. It was quite enjoyable while the music was short if it was short and long if it was long. By the time the song ended and the next started playing, Do-jin and Hyeon-woo's dance was over. 'It's more fun than I thought.' Hyeon-woo smiled with a different expression from when he started. Should we dance one more time? I didn't know the next song, but with Do-jin, I would be able to dance just fine. After thinking that, he was about to extend his hand again, but someone pulled Hyeon-woo from behind. “Seon-woo- ya ?” “Next, with me.” Why was his cute little brother so grumpy again?  Seon-woo naturally took Hyeon-woo's hand and moved toward the center of the hall. Do-jin, who was left alone, looked back at something, standing there and looking down at his hand. But for a moment, Do-jin raised his head and waved his hand at Hyeon-woo. Beside him were Spotty and Kero. Seon-woo was a bit more skilled than Do-jin. He was good at both dancing and leading, so he was much more comfortable than when he was dancing with Do-jin. But strangely, what he kept thinking about was Do-jin's face.  “Hyung, what are you thinking?” “Our Seon-woo. You’re such a good dancer, don’t you think? Did you learn it?" "A little." “How is this level just a little?” After pouring out compliments, Seon-woo's sullen face returned to normal. “Hyung is good too?” "I'm just following you." Hyeon-woo shrugged. Even after one song was over, Seon-woo didn't know how to be satisfied. The childish little brother let go of his Hyung only after dancing three songs. The time to cut the cake was approaching. The music faded again, and the lights in the hall went out. But no one was surprised here. Most of them were Awakened so they knew the order. This could not have been more agitated. “Next, there will be a cake cutting ceremony!” Then, lights fell on the two of them standing in the center of the hall. "Let's go, Hyung." Hyeon-woo stepped forward to congratulate his younger brother on his birthday. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine, YaagRabRag HM: so nostalgic… from chap 1 to now….

55.   This kind of attention was unfamiliar to Do-jin. When he was younger, he had a stutter and once he was older, he ignored anything that didn’t help his purpose. So this was the first time that people had gathered around him and were friendly.   “Han Do-jin- ssi , the clothes you are wearing today really suit you.”  A pretty woman smiled.   “Peace Guild Leader. It’s the first time I’ve seen you; I wasn’t expecting that you’d be so handsome.”   Although everyone might have had ulterior motives, it wouldn’t be easy rejecting everyone that approached him politely.   I suddenly thought of Hyeon-woo, but today was Ji Seon-woo’s birthday. Hyeon-woo would probably stick to him since they were family, after all.   I wasn’t related by blood to Hyeon-woo, unlike Seon-woo.  Thinking this strangely made his heart throb. Unknowingly, it seemed that his affection had deepened during the time he was with him.   ‘Well, he’s like a Dongsaeng to me.’   Since the time I had been put under the illusion curse, I had continued treating Hyeon-woo like a Dongsaeng. It wasn’t weird for me to think of Hyeon-woo as one.   “Han Do-jin- ssi !”   Responding to the woman getting his attention again, Do-jin forcibly raised the corners of his mouth.   “The view from the balcony over there is nice. Would you like to go see it together?”   He realized something as she shyly spoke with a smile. She was flirting with me. I hadn’t dealt with others flirting with me before, so it had taken this long to realize it.   ’I should probably decline for now.’   She was attractive enough, but I don’t like her that way.  Just as Do-jin was about to open his mouth to refuse, someone grabbed his arm.   His arm began to react instinctively, but unconsciously lost strength in an instant and sagged upon realizing who grabbed him.   “Do-jin- ssi !”   It was Hyeon-woo. He usually dressed casually in loose-fitting clothes, but for today, fitting for the special occasion, he was in a proper suit. A semi-suit with a narrow waist that fitted him surprisingly well.   A smile appeared on his face, which had previously been awkward and stiff.   “You’re here already?”   “I came early. What are you doing over here?”   “What do you mean?”   Have you forgotten something? While in thought, Hyeon-woo pulled Do-jin with more force. His body, despite being larger than Hyeon-woo’s, was dragged away.   “We have to stay together. That way you can protect me.”   Hyeon-woo appeared grumpy while he was saying that.   What was upsetting him so much?  Unwittingly, he reached out his hand and gently brushed his cheek.   I had been with Hyeon-woo before, but this was the first time he’d treated me like this.   Sure enough, Hyeon-woo was surprised by the sudden action. However, he didn’t let go of his hand.   “That’s Ji Hyeon-woo. But why are you taking Do-jin away?”   Hyeon-woo replied calmly to those words.   “Because he is my bodyguard.”   “A bodyguard?”   A Guild Leader was a bodyguard.  The people surrounding them began talking. The only people who knew that Do-jin was protecting Hyeon-woo on a regular basis were the guild leaders of the top 5 guilds and people from the Seon-Hyeon guild. It was natural not to know.   “No matter what, you’re the Guild Leader of a guild, so how can you be a bodyguard?”   Do-jin answered their question.   “He’s right. I’m a bodyguard.”   He admitted it. Then, the people around them shut their mouths.   “Then let’s go!”   Hyeon-woo took Do-jin and escaped from the crowd. Then, he slipped into a nearby balcony. A few people with regrets glanced at them, but they didn’t catch up. It was because Do-jin, who was being dragged, looked at them with sharp eyes.   “Hmm, what kind of relationship is that?”   The people scattered again.   And inside the balcony, Hyeon-woo was scolding Do-jin.   “What are you thinking?”   “What do you mean?”   Do-jin had no choice but to answer blankly this time.   “With how scary the world is, why are you so defenseless?”   “Was I defenseless?”   I didn’t think so. I had always been vigilant so that he could quickly respond to whatever happened. But when Hyeon-woo said this, I couldn’t help but wonder.   “Of course. You didn’t stop when the woman groped your arm earlier. Was she the only one? Didn’t you notice that someone else tried to put her hand on your waist as well?”   No. I was noticing that much. It was just a friendly gesture, so I thought for a moment about what to do.   “That is outright sexual harassment. You should have said no and avoided it!”   “Is it sexual harassment?”   “Yeah!”   It wasn’t quite like that. What kind of madman could be trying to sexually harass the Guild Leader of the Peace Guild?   “Look. Touching you with her arm like this!”   A slender, white hand gently brushed Do-jin’s muscular arm. Then, it passed through his chest and stayed on his waist. His chest tickled at the trembling hands.   “Surely she must have tried to touch your waist like this!”    I wished Hyeon-woo would touch me more.  At that thought, Do-jin unknowingly grabbed the hand that was leaving his waist.    “That’s right! You have to do it like this!”   Hyeon-woo exclaimed triumphantly, whether he knew Do-jin’s heart or not.   “I know.”   It shouldn’t be like this. Hyeon-woo was just worried about me and gave me advice. Even knowing that, his hand moved involuntarily.   Do-jin’s big hand grabbed Hyeon-woo’s arm.   “This is how you do it.”   Then, a hand that slid down grabbed his waist and pulled him closer.   “You mean I have to be careful?”   Hyeon-woo, who was enveloped by Do-jin’s chest, nodded with a puzzled expression. As he watched the top of his head swaying right below him, a certain impulse soared.   ‘I want to kiss you.’    Do-jin was surprised at the sudden surge of the urge.  I don’t think I ever had such thoughts with my younger sister either. He rubbed his lips with his free hand.   ‘How is my condition right now?’   I was sober. It wasn’t even an addiction due to skills or other drugs. But why did I feel this way? When he raised his head, he saw the moon shining in the night sky.   ‘I don’t know.’   Was it because Hyeon-woo was so cute? His younger sister, Ye-won, was also lively and lovable, but Hyeon-woo was not far behind. It was a little hard to say these things when one sees a grown man, but when Do-jin sees him, his cuteness sometimes makes his heart race.   “You’re cute.”   It was a mistake to say it out of the blue.    “What happened to your eyes?”   Hyeon-woo, who had a ridiculous expression on his face, returned a sharp answer.   “I think you’re wonderful.”   Hyeon-woo didn’t think so, but he didn’t deny it. He kept saying something while keeping his head buried in his chest, and he could feel Hyeon-woo’s breath on his shirt. It was ticklish, but he didn’t hate it.   Just then, fireworks exploded outside. And a loud bell rang.   “I have to go!”   Hyeon-woo was startled and went away from Do-jin. At the same time, he felt a presence.   “Hyung.”   When he turned around, he saw Seon-woo, the main character of the party, leaning over the entrance to the balcony and looking this way.   “Seon-woo- ya !”   “It’s almost time. What are you doing here?”   A sharp gaze poked Do-jin.   “We were just talking for a while.”   “Is that conversation more important than my birthday?”   When Seon-woo made a sullen expression while doing so, Hyeon-woo quickly rushed towards him. The warmth in his arms faded to cold.  After all, no matter how hard one tried, the one without the same blood cannot win.  Do-jin let out a small sigh.   “No. no, it’s not that. It was an important conversation, but you are just as important to me!”   “Then let’s go, Hyung. The party will begin soon.”   “Okay. Do-jin ssi, hurry up and come out too!”   “I’ll be there in just a second.”   Hyeon-woo hesitated for a moment, but then nodded and followed Seon-woo. Do-jin, who waved his hand toward him, leaned against the balcony railing. He tilted his head back and saw the full moon.   “Dongsaeng, is that right?”   He murmured softly and closed his eyes. He was just looking at something different than usual, and it must have been that she was groping for no reason and had an ulterior motive.   Do-jin stayed still for a while and straightened his body. He was going to go inside and continue his profession of bodyguard that Hyeon-woo wanted him to do. Seon-woo looked for his Hyung who didn’t show up even though it was time.  I had to quickly find Hyung. I could tell just by asking people around me. Then I saw something I didn’t want to see. The way he was held by Do-jin on the balcony. Do-jin would say from time to time. Hyeon-woo feels like his younger brother. He seemed to have chosen his Hyung as a substitute for Ye-won since he was mentally attacked in the last portal incident. So I was a little relieved. His younger sister was already dead. We could use him to protect our brother. Then we could just kick him out when we don’t need him. ‘But what’s that?’ Who would hug his younger sister like that. In the meantime, I sometimes felt anxious. He is too intimate for his sister. He knew that Bro-com was great, but it seemed a little different from that. My heart has been overwhelmed by anxiety. I hope you will always be by my side. Since childhood, my world has been all about him. I wished we could stay together until the end of our lives. But what if you have another partner? He didn’t want to think about it. He could have been criticized for his childish way of thinking. He wished he was the only one by his side. So the conclusion was made quickly. Let’s get Do-jin out of the way. Things are better now than before. I thought it would be better not to have Do-jin around if I was going to keep him by my side. There were also Spotty and Kero, and there were countless talented people in the Seon-Hyeon guild. Still, it won’t match Do-jin’s skills, but I’ll at least buy you some time.   ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine, YaagRabRag HM: The birthday arc is kinda long….

54.   Several foreign Awakened had entered the capital city. Despite the fact that the Seon-Hyeon Guild was in charge of everything, a strange tension circulated in the city center. Thankfully, as the days passed, nothing major happened.   There was a time where several Awakened people bumped into each other but it was quickly resolved thanks to the Seon-Hyeon Guild and the Hunter Administration. And finally, the day came.   Hyeon-woo stood in front of the mirror wearing a nicely tailored suit. The slightly purplish garment was not as uncomfortable as I thought it’d be. I heard that it was made by a craftsman and the quality certainly reflected that detail.   “It looks good in you, Hyung.”   Next to him Seon-woo was smiling in a suit with a similar silhouette in a different color from him.    Where’s Do-jin? He’s not here. Although he usually stuck to Hyeon-woo like a bodyguard, he was still the Guild Leader of a guild. Before the party was held, he was dragged away by his Deputy Guild Leader.   Because of that, Seon-woo was in a better mood than usual. Since Do-jin wasn’t here and he wore a suit similar to his Hyung, there wasn’t much choice for him.   “You look good too.”   It wasn’t empty talk, it really was true. He was tall, had a good body, and was handsome, so he looked good in anything he wore. But what more could he say now that he had put on a suit that matched his charm?  When Hyeon-woo smiled proudly and praised Seon-woo, Kero barked a lot.   “Yeah, you are cute too.”   Kero, who was wearing a cape matching Hyeon-woo, puffed his chest out. Originally, Kerberos was a violent demon. I didn’t know why he was so obsessed with the word ‘cute’ these days. Besides, when Kero came out, Spotty came out too. Spotty, with a ribbon around its tail, turned around for no reason.   “You’re cute too.”   It wasn’t until after hearing the same compliment that Spotty stopped spinning.    “Hyung, the party is starting soon.”   In addition to the Awakened, many people from the political and business world must have gathered. Hyeon-woo took a deep breath.   “Are you ready?”   Seon-woo closed his eyes and smiled softly.   “Of course.”   Hyeon-woo also answered with a confident expression. And just as he was about to move on, he spotted a familiar person through the windshield.   Do-jin was looking at the party from the car. It was admirable to see how he transformed into a plausible character in just two weeks. It was hard to make the time and go meet people like a normal person, so he had to wait until the party was finished.   “The preparations are complete.”   Hyeon-hee, the Deputy Guild Leader, spoke to him from the side. After hearing that, Do-jin looked down at his wrist. A neat suit with an expensive watch he had never seen before. To be precise, it wasn’t the first time he tried on a suit as he had gone to a department store with Hyeon-woo, but it was still a bit awkward.   “Do I need to dress up this much?”   “Yes. You don’t usually make public appearances. I think it would be good to take this opportunity to make a proper impression.”   Hyeon-hee looked quite excited.   Several times he tried to hand over the guild to her and move on comfortably, but Hyeon-hee clung to Do-jin tenaciously each attempt. She convinced him that one day he would definitely need the strength of the guild. I didn’t think that was wrong. I had come this far, but I didn’t know if this was right. Was this the right way?   “Then let’s go in.”   Do-jin got out of the car and walked towards the party. Then, he kept a distance as the eyes of the people turned to him. They were the uninvited people and reporters who couldn’t come inside.   “Who is that?”   One reporter questioned and another reporter answered.   “I don’t know. But anyone who got an invitation must be great.”   “That’s obvious. Look at him. He caught my eye even though he’s so far away.”   “What is his level of Awakening? He’s tall, has a great body, and looks perfect.”   “I don’t know about that, but shall we take a picture for now?”   “Come on, be patient. If you get caught, you will be chased out of here too.”   “I came here to find a scoop, but I’ll take something like this.”   The reporter grumbled and did not lower the camera.   “I’ll just have to secretly film little by little.” “Slowly and diligently.”   His shutter remained quiet because he had adjusted it beforehand. After taking a few pictures, the reporter began typing on the laptop he had brought with him.   Most Awakened had noticed the photographers. However, no one cared to approach and take away the camera. The Seon-Hyeon Guild was patrolling and nothing of consequence would come from them.   “It’s better to be known.”   Hyeon-hee shrugged and said. Being here was proof that each Awakened was known to some extent, so it wasn’t bad for the Peace Guild.   “Is that so?”   Because of that, Do-jin endured it even while feeling displeasure. He didn’t think it was like this when Hyeon-woo held up the camera. He was still a bit uncomfortable when in the eyes of others.   “I’m from the Peace Guild.”   When he went to the entrance and handed over the invitation, the guards let him in. Just like the outside, the inside was exquisitely decorated.   “As expected of the wealth of the Seon-Hyeon Guild.”   Hyeon-hee’s eyes flashed at the extravagant display. However, Do-jin looked around without giving it any regard.   ‘Where is he?’   I tried to find Hyeon-woo. However, it seemed that the main characters of the party had not yet appeared. As he exhaled a little in regret and turned around, a woman with distinctive blue hair bumped into him.   “Oh, I’m sorry!”   The woman quickly apologized.   “But you’re not a familiar face. I thought that I knew almost all of the Awakened in Korea. May I ask for an introduction? I’m Rin from the White Tiger Guild. I’m a Healer.”   “I’m Han Do-jin from the Peace Guild.”   “Han Do-jin, if it’s Han Do-jin…”   Rin’s eyes twinkled. She hadn’t placed the face, but definitely knew the name.   ‘So you’re the guild leader of the Peace Guild?’   I approached him on purpose because he looked good even from a distance, and it seemed like I had hit the jackpot. Rin wasn’t the only one who thought that way.   Among those who stared blankly at the newly appeared strong man, those who noticed his true identity began to approach him. The Guild Leader of the Peace Guild was an S-class Awakened. Besides, Do-jin was attractive separate from his title as the Guild Leader.   ‘He has a different charm from Ji Seon-woo.’   He was a bit taller and bigger than Ji Seon-woo. He was also strong. How was this not attractive?   ‘Where has this person been hiding until now?’   People began to flock to the epicenter of interest naturally. Do-jin made a troubled expression, but he did not avoid the crowd.   “Oh my!”   A-yun, who had arrived before Do-jin, opened her eyes wide as she saw Do-jin.   “The Peace Guild Leader is extremely popular. Look look, Oppa.”   As she stabbed her Oppa, Ja-yun in the side, he looked at Do-jin for a moment. However, his interest was just as fleeting, and he resumed his conversation with Ga-jun.   I simply wanted to enjoy the party today, but was it too much?  A-yun sighed deeply and listened to the conversation between the two. In the meantime, she found Hye-sun firmly exchanging a few glasses from afar.   “Hello!”   Soon after, Hye-sun also joined them.   “There’s a lot of foreigners here.”   “It is  Ji Seon-woo’s first time celebrating his birthday.”   “Really?”   Hye-sun scratched her head and raised a new glass.   “The liquor is delicious.”   “It must be high quality.”   “He has a lot of money. I’ve to drink as much before I go.”   It had been ten years since the Awakened first appeared. Seon-woo hadn’t neglected his relationship with foreign countries, but he had no one he could call a friend. Everyone was keenly aware of the frequent movements of the Awakened.   Of course, that didn’t mean anything, but some of them were in contact with foreign countries. And the guild leaders of the top-level Korean guilds gathered here were also maintaining their relationships.   “There are quite a few people from Japan, Russia, the United States, and other countries.”   So, who else were they going to run into today?  Hye-sun flipped her hair even as she drank her drink.   In a waiting room upstairs, Hyeon-woo was looking down. The front glass windows were structured so that one could see the outside from the inside, but you couldn’t see the inside from the outside. So, he was able to observe downstairs more comfortably.   ‘What was that?’   Unlike usual, Do-jin was elegantly dressed in a suit and surrounded by people. A few Awakened were pushing their bodies onto Do-jin and pretending it was a mistake. He could understand why they’d attempt that move.   Do-jin was a capable Awakened, and he was as good-looking as Seon-woo when well-dressed.   ‘Yeah, that’s right.’   It was time for Do-jin to get his sister out of his mind and meet someone else. His trauma has stuck with him for so long, staying trapped in his sister’s shadow. He might change when he meets someone new. That was why I had to cheer for him, but it felt strange.   Hyeon-woo thought this while scratching the glass window with his finger.   ‘Am I in a bad mood right now?’   Why was I in a bad mood?  He couldn’t figure it out.   “Hyung?”   He heard Seon-woo calling from behind. Seon-woo held out his hand while he tried to understand. And after thinking it over, he figured out why he was in a bad mood.   Do-jin wasn’t dressed like this normally. They were people who did not even approach him when he was wearing old clothes and covering his face with his hair. But to see them clinging to him just because his appearance has improved? People like that couldn’t make Do-jin happy. If Do-jin returned to his original form later, what would he do then?   ‘The time we spent together was quite long.’   Sometimes, though, there were times when I felt I liked Do-jin Hyung. He was someone I had grown close to, and I didn’t want to see him suffer again. After quickly rationalizing himself, Hyeon-woo straightened his body.   “Let’s go!”   To save Do-jin from being buried in the crowd! After rescuing him, this unpleasant feeling would go away. Hyeon-woo took Seon-woo’s outstretched hand and left the waiting room. Kero and Spotty followed closely behind him.   ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine, YaagRabRag HM: this is so sweet~ TwT YRR: Crazy Rich Asians Please join the discord server.
