He burst into laughter. “It's gotten to the point where any kind of ability could suddenly appear and it wouldn't be surprising, but.” When he stroked his fur, 8- se  moved its snout in small, chewing motions. “Your reaction also looks similar to a hamster. Would you like me to take an X-ray?” There was no reason to refuse. 8- se  laid down on the examination table. The X-ray image taken that way only showed the outline of the outer body, and the inside was pitch black. Hyeon Gyu-ha furrowed his eyebrows. “Does this mean there are no bones or organs inside?” “I guess so. As expected, he’s the boss of a gate where only amorphous demons appear. It’s very interesting that not only did the amorphous demons take their own form, but their forms were very similar to animals on Earth. Their reproductive organs are swollen like a real male, but they probably can’t reproduce.” “I also raised a female hamster, but it didn’t seem to recognize it as a member of the same species.” “Then the testicles are really just a mere imitation, and the inside is empty.” “But don't you think it might contain some cuteness?” In any case, In Yoo-shin just found it endlessly cute, and Cho Sang-pil showed curiosity with a scholarly perspective, but Hyeon Gyu-ha was dissatisfied with everything. “You can’t even change the form you have? A hamster is just a hamster no matter how big it gets. It doesn’t even have a way to protect its Master in times of emergency, so it’s really useless.” “Hey, a hamster’s usefulness is enough with its cuteness.” “I’m cuter.” “…….” I couldn’t deny it. Cho Sangpil just coughed in vain, as if he wasn’t used to his words and actions. “Stop just eating your food and show me your worth, you keep on monopolizing his front pocket. You were a gate boss after all, so you must have something..” 8- se , who had been shrinking from the blatant jealousy and bullying, suddenly lifted his front paws and started walking on two legs, standing on his hind legs only. Then he shouted confidently. “Squeak!” The short, dangling tail stretched out like a whip and wound up the syringe in the case. The tail waved proudly, but Hyeon Gyu-ha's gaze became colder. "So?" “……Gyuu.” "What useful ability is it other than being able to pick up the remote control and give it to Yoo-shin- ssi ?" "This is just my opinion." Cho Sang-pil, who was coughing uncomfortably, intervened. "This demon entered into a taming contract with the system as a 'rodent'. So, isn't it impossible for it to deviate from the established definition? For example, there may be rodents with long tails depending on the species, but there are no rodents with five tails. I think the hamster shape reflects Yoo-shin's taste." "Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!" As if that was true, 8- se  responded enthusiastically, waving his short front legs. Hyeon Gyu-ha commented coldly. "So it's useless in the end." "………………Squuueak." "Even though you monopolized your Master's front pocket." "………………Sque…………….” “Phew.” Hyeon Gyu-ha, whose sighs grew deeper every time he saw 8-se, got up from his chair. “It might be less cute than me, but I'm sure it'll be healing for Yoo-shin- ssi , so I'll buy some snacks for that guy too when I come back.” “Where are you going?” “I have something to do for a moment. I’ll be back soon, so take your time talking.” He left the lab, not forgetting to look at 8- se  one last time. Cho Sang-pil smiled awkwardly. “I’ve only heard stories, but you’re on good terms.” “Haha………………. Thank you.” “Anyway, let’s get back to the original topic. Your case is the only one of its kind in the world. How do you feel when you tame one?” “It’s hard to explain exactly………………. I feel like there’s a connection. I guess it’s like a bridge is being built between souls……………….” Cho Sang-pil slapped his knee. “Animals are also living beings, so they could have souls. But monsters don’t have that. A body with bones and flesh is formed from the crystal stone, but it is not a living being. It cannot reproduce.” “Well, how does it feel when you tame a monster?” “It feels like I’m connected to the crystal stone, not the soul like you. I did the same with this guy.” Yeppi, who was dozing off with her face on her front paws, opened her mouth wide and yawned. “But the monsters of the Erosion Gate don’t have crystal stones.” “Even when I tamed 8- se , I felt connected to the soul.” “That’s a really interesting case. Oh, forgive me for that expression. I’m so excited that I can’t really organize my words.” “It’s okay.” The expression was fine, so In Yoo-shin just smiled. He didn’t tell Hyun Gyu-ha because he wasn’t sure, but it must have something to do with the premonition that it was ‘someone’s gift’ before he tamed 8- se . “Even if you tame it and form a deep bond with its Master, the monsters are fundamentally low in intelligence. It’s impossible to have a specific conversation like this hamster. Is this a characteristic of a typical monster, or is it a characteristic unique to this monster? Are there other awakened beings who have tamed typical monsters like you?" Cho Sang-pil, lost in a sea of ​​deep thoughts, muttered to himself and continued his thoughts. In Yoo-shin waited quietly while caressing 8-se who was rummaging through the food he had brought in his pocket, and only after a long time did Cho Sang-pil raise his head and apologize. “Oh, you called me to help, but you were just satisfying my curiosity. Your case is so rare that I wonder if the general training method of Tamer would be useful.” “Actually, there was something I wanted to ask you, Doctor.” “So, what?” In Yoo-shin slowly spoke out the words he had prepared in his mind. “Are you also researching a way to release Taming?” Cho Sangpil smiled lightly. “Of course. It’s theoretically possible.” The man opened his eyes, struggling in a nightmare. His back was soaked with sweat. What scared him more than the pain of the surgery for a full-body fracture was those eyes. ‘Fuck. How can a human baby’s eyes be like that?’ Those amber eyes, fixed solely upon him. Eyes devoid of all joy, sorrow, anger, or delight, coldly focused on the methodical process of crushing him to death. It would have been less scary if he had been angry or full of murderous intent. Such emotions are easy to imagine and familiar, and I can just dismiss him as a madman. However, what on earth do you call someone who can torture and kill someone cruelly without any emotion? The man was relieved that he would be tried and locked up in prison. If he had been free in the outside world, he would have definitely met those eyes. That creepy and eerie color. “……!” Hello. Unlike last night, Hyeon Gyu-ha greeted him with only his lips moving outside the hospital room window, his face quite emotional. He wanted to scream, but it didn't come out. He quickly tried to call the detective who was watching him from the bedside, but he couldn't even move his fingers. “Senior, we’ll be changing shifts in an hour, so we’ll go back and look for each other then.” The detective, who had no way of knowing his feelings, didn’t even look this way because he was busy talking on the phone. A scroll flew in through the crack in the window, as if mocking the man who couldn’t do anything but roll his eyes. The scroll flew over the detective’s head without a sound and was torn apart, and the detective yawned a few times before nodding off. The man could do nothing but helplessly move his eyes until Hyeon Gyu-ha tore off the hospital window and came inside. “Did the surgery go well?” “…….” “I’m glad you didn’t die during the surgery. My Master is kind-hearted and left you alone, but I’m not like that.” “…….” “Isn’t it the job of a guard dog, or rather a guard mouse, to eliminate anyone who has harmed the master even a little?” “…….” I couldn’t understand a single word he was saying. That was why it was even more terrifying. Hyeon Gyu-ha clicked his tongue when he saw the man’s wrist. The other end of the handcuffs around the man’s wrist were hanging on the bed rail. “I didn’t think about the handcuffs. It’s a hassle to carry them to the bed……………… Hmm, what should I do?” It didn't take long to make up his mind. Hyeon Gyu-ha took out an axe from the inventory. The sharp, glossy axe rose up without hesitation. The man’s face turned bright blue. ‘The detective has the key! I saw it in his pocket.’ He tried to shout desperately, but he couldn't even mumble a groan. The man's wide-open eyes reflected the axe striking his wrist in an instant. “……!” He let out a desperate scream that wouldn't come out. Hyeon Gyu-ha roughly wiped the blood from the axe blade on the hospital blanket and smiled at the man whose blood vessels were red in his eyes. “Well, maybe you'll get lucky and survive. Since you're an Awakener, you must have gone dungeon hunting, right?” “……!” "Then let's go quickly, since I have to go pick up Master." Hyeon Gyu-ha took the man and flew through the broken window. An hour later, the hospital room was thrown into commotion by a detective who came to change shifts. The only trace left of the man was his bloody wrist. They traced the blood trail that led outside the window, but they never found him. “I’m back.” When Hyeon Gyu-ha returned after being away for about 2 hours, In Yoo-shin was at the training grounds. “Gyu-ha- ssi ! Look at that!” ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Editor M, eteryl Support on KOFI: Chapter 55 If you wanna become a translator, editor or proofreader, please use the discord link given below and follow the instructions in the recruit channel.

In Yoo-shin opened his eyes wide. That was all. Bam! The impenetrable force field repelled the shield, bouncing it back. The loud clang as the shield hit the force field made him jump. "Yoo-shin- ssi !" The scream-like cry was not from him, but rather from Hyeon Gyu-ha. Hyeon Gyu-ha returned to his side in an instant and asked urgently. "A-are you okay? Are you hurt?" His voice shook, and his eyes darted nervously as he looked at him. Despite knowing full well that In Yoo-shin was shielded by the force field, he responded without thinking. "I was a little surprised, but………………." I was so startled that my heart skipped a beat.  That was the extent of the impact on In Yoo-shin. That was really all. (IYS is saying he’s fine repeatedly to himself) That was all it took to eliminate the expression of Hyeon Gyu-ha's face. Every emotion vanished in an instant, replaced by a cold, blank stare that fixed on the man behind him. The man who had been running away in a panic after realizing that the attack had missed suddenly stopped. Hyeon Gyu-ha had approached him at some point. The man, who had not even the freedom to scream, rolled his eyes in confusion. No matter how hard he tried, he could not even move his tongue. The pressure oppressing him from all sides took away his freedom to breathe. His skin was pressed tightly, and his bones cracked. Before the pressure that was so tight broke all his bones. “Gyu-ha- ssi !” A single voice scattered the invisible murderous intent. “I’m okay. I’m not hurt at all.” In Yoo-shin carefully stepped forward, passing people who had no idea what was happening. “Look.” Even though he knew that they wouldn’t be able to see him because his back was turned, he repeatedly clenched and unclenched his hand to confirm his safety. A brief silence separated the space between them, and Hyeon Gyu Ha turned his head. "Yes." The expression on his face that was usually smiling brightly disappeared, as if it was a mistake. "Kkwaaah!" But as soon as he pulled away, the man screamed and rolled over. The broken leg bone was not doing its job of standing up. The detectives were perplexed by the sudden injury, but they put on handcuffs exclusively for the Awakeners. While the police were loading the gangsters into police cars and ambulances one by one, Hyeon Gyu-ha also cleaned up the rest of the scene and came down to In Yoo-shin. “Are you okay? Do you think you're fine without going to the hospital?” “I was only surprised this much.” When he put his thumb and index finger together to indicate ‘this much,’ he closed his eyes and smiled. As if nothing had happened until just now. However, that smile was a smile that would crush and kill the opponent without mercy if there was even the slightest shake-up in his own safety. If I had been just a little late in stopping him, the man earlier would have died with all his bones crushed. “Gyu-ha- ssi , I’ll go see the doctor you mentioned earlier.” ………………This is not good for Hyeon Gyu-ha either, really. In Yoo-shin was afraid that Hyeon Gyu-ha’s area of ​​influence was growing bigger. Dr. Cho Sang-pil, who studies taming, might be able to give him the answer he needs most right now. The next day, when he went to work, Manager Kim greeted Hyeon Gyu-ha happily. “Hunter Hyeon, you worked hard yesterday. Chief Choi of the Western Department also asked me to thank you for helping Hunter Hyeon.” “As a civil servant who lives off taxes, it’s only natural for me to do this for the people.” “……!” Manager Kim was rather wary of his somewhat humble attitude. From what I’ve learned so far, Hyeon Gyu-ha is not the type of person to show off, but he’s not exactly polite either. His uncharacteristic humility meant that he had some ulterior motive. “Ha, hahaha. Right? Ah, right. I forgot that I had a meeting. Thank you for your hard work today.” “Manager, I have something to say.” Hyeon Gyu-ha naturally stood in front of her and blocked the office door. “Although Yoo-shin-ssi hasn't received my license yet because he’s still in training, he is basically a hunter, right?” “T-that’s right.” “Then, in a broad sense, Yoo-shin- ssi  is also a public service hunter. Right?” “R-right.” “The fact that there is a place to train in the Ministry of Ability means that hunters should not neglect their ability to train themselves even during working hours, right?” “That’s right……………….” “But it’s focused on physical training, so it’s not suitable for Yoo-shin- ssi , a tamer, to train. To be honest, it’s just a gym. If you let out your hand, it might collapse. Yoo-shin- ssi  also needs to hone his abilities in order to contribute to the country and the people as a public service hunter. Right?” “That’s right……………….” “There happens to be a national research institute that does taming research. It’s not a private company, it’s an organization under the Ministry of Ability.” “…….” “This is an outside job, right?” Manager Kim, who was pushed by Hyeon Gyu-ha's sophistry, tilted his head but allowed him to go on an outside business trip.  In Yoo-shin, who had to go out again because he was always following Hyeon Gyu-ha around, bowed and said sorry. The office staff were not upset. They all realized that Hyeon Gyu-ha would not have been controlled if it weren't for him. It was the same yesterday. After leaving the office building, he stopped by the house first to pick up 8- se . "6- se ya , 8- se ya . I'm home." The two who entered the attic were met with an unexpected sight. Hyeon Gyu-ha made a face and In Yoo-shin's head was covered in sweat. "Look, that guy. He's acting coy in front of his Master. When you barge in unexpectedly, his true nature comes out like this." 8- se , who was washing and feeding the strawberries he had prepared separately to give to 6- se  as a snack at night, quickly laid down his fireballs and pretended to be asleep. 6- se , not caring, picked up the pieces of strawberries that were as small as his fingernail and ate them. “Hey, when did you go into Henri Raymond Charles Françoise VI’s Noona’s house again?” 8- se  desperately pretended not to notice and closed his eyes even though Hyeon Gyu-ha was openly poking him. In Yoo-shin thought it wouldn’t be surprising if 8 -se  was watching TV while he was out. “But even though it looks like hamsters, I don’t think it’s the same species to 6- se . It’s territorial, so it gets sensitive when kept close to each other.” [Name: Henri Raymond Charles Françoise VI] [Current Status: Satisfied. Full.] I guess it would have been fine to put them together in the same cage since their conditions haven't changed. But I wasn't really keen on that idea because having two hamster cages made the room even smaller. “Hey, 8- seya . I have somewhere to go with you, so do you want to go in the carrier?” With his ears perked up, 8- se  opened his eyes and looked at the carrier and shirt that In Yoo-shin had brought alternately before slipping into his front pocket. “Is this more comfortable?” “Gyu!” “Master, your front pocket is the place where you can feel your warmth most closely……………….” It was a dreary voice. In Yoo-shin quickly took out the 8- se  from his front pocket, and 8- se  also crawled out hurriedly, shivering. “Whew, that’s okay. I can’t fit in Master’s front pocket.” Hyeon Gyu-ha, with his shoulders slumped, left the attic room first. In Yoo-shin followed him, fidgeting. “I won’t wear a shirt with a front pocket from now on.” “You don’t have to. Now that I think about it, it might be useful for him to be in the front. It’s like a heart protector.” As he spoke, Hyeon Gyu-ha gently tapped the forehead of 8- se  who was shyly peering out from his front pocket. “You, if you’re there and your Master is in danger, block it with your body. Got it?" As if it was obvious, 8- se  nodded enthusiastically. Hyeon Gyu-ha, whose face seemed slightly relieved, gestured for them to quickly get on the bike. They arrived at the Strategic Ability Research Institute, catching a runaway demon somewhere on the way. Dr. Cho Sang-pil greeted the two happily. “Welcome. This is Cho Sang-pil.” “Thank you for inviting me so kindly, even though it was a last-minute appointment.” “No. I was already excited and waiting after hearing about Yoo-shin’s abilities from  Hunter Hyeon. Oh, can I speak to you casually?” Cho Sang-pil smiled with a friendly expression and poured tea for me personally. His wrinkled eyes shone with the curiosity of a true scholar. “I’m a tamer too. Unlike you, I’m judged to be a D-rank because my mana is low. This is the Yeppi I tamed.” “Krr.” The demon with the cute name Yeppi lowered its body, which was larger than a large dog, and growled. Its appearance was similar to a dog or a fox, but its fur was long and shaggy, making it much more menacingly large. It had three eyes, three toes, and a three-tailed body. “Is it sheepdog(쉽 독)?” “That’s right. It’s been living with me for 20 years, so it’s no different from my own children.” Cho Sang-pil stroked its fur with affectionate hands, and Yeppi let out a satisfied cry. Even though he was a tamer, it was his first time seeing a tamed beast up close, so In Yoo-shin was also surprised. "Is that hamster in your pocket your monster?" "This is the first time I've tamed a monster. Up until now, I've only tamed hamsters and white rats..." While explaining, In Yoo-shin absentmindedly glanced at Hyeon Gyu-ha, who nodded slightly with a smile. Cho Sang-pil, who didn't notice the expression, held out a hand. 8- se  crawled out and jumped on his palm. Cho Sang-pil made a meaningful expression. "As far as I know, there are race restrictions for taming, and you are the only Awakener who has tamed a normal animal, not a demon." HM: 8-se adapted to become a house pet, and HGH can’t get enough of him, and Congrats IYS for being the first Tamer to only Tame a normal animal, lol…. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: eteryl Support on KOFI: Chapter 54, 55 If you wanna become a translator, editor or proofreader, please use the discord link given below and follow the instructions in the recruit channel.

127. Thud! Two-eyed hit his heads vigorously against the barrier once again. No matter how hard he hit it, the blood that was already flowing began to splatter around him. 'I'm overdoing it.' Do-jin knew that too, but he couldn't stop Two-eyed. Because now I know this is for the best. Other than him, there is no one who could break the barrier. 'We have to break the barrier and go in and save Hyeon-woo.” Just thinking about Hyeon-woo made me nervous. That's why I tried to help Two-eyed but the barrier only swayed and did not break easily. Still, I can't give up, so I did my best.  And finally, Two-eyed succeeded in penetrating the barrier! Two-eyed that pierced the hole collapsed on the spot, and Do-jin hurriedly tried to step inside. But at that moment, an explosion erupted from behind. Turning around unintentionally, he saw In-young raising her fist through the cracked wall. In-young grabbed someone by the collar and swung her fist several times. The physical condition seemed worse than the one below, but the attack looks quite fierce. Shortly thereafter, the dust cloud subsided, and Do-jin was able to identify the faces of the two figures. The stout young man underneath was a face he had never seen before, but the person riding on it was clearly recognizable. "Fuck you, die!" Watching Hyeon-woo hit his fist again with a curse, Do-jin called his name. “Hyeon-woo-ya!” Only then did Hyeon-woo, who had been punching like crazy, slowly turn his head to look at Dojin. "Uh?" Hyeon-woo looked at Do-jin and looked at the sky once and the ground once. Then he dragged the man by the collar and he climbed over the wall he had broken. And not long after, an evil scream was heard from the other side. “It's all because of you!” There was the sound of banging on the hard leather pouch. "Haha, what's wrong? Aren't you prepared to show your true nature anyway?" “What about my nature!” “It’s similar to a demon.” "No, it's not? Sure, let's hit you a little more." The moment Hyeon-woo raised his fist again, Do-jin crossed the wall and approached him. “Hyeon-woo.” Hyeon-woo, who was rolling his eyes, let go of Alberg's collar. And he looked at Do-jin with teary eyes and raised his voice. "Hyung!" “Hyeon-woo-ya!” "Hyung!" Do-jin tried to hug Hyeon-woo, but before that, an obstacle came in. “I’m here too?” “Who are you?” “Wow, how long have we been together, and you don’t recognize me?” How long have we been together? Only then did Do-jin take a closer look at the messed up young man. And he remembered a boy who looked like him. “Alberg?” "Yeah." Alberg smirked and replied. "What are you doing here?" “Don’t you see? I was fighting Hyeon-woo.” It seemed more like a one-sided beating. Do-jin looked at Alberg and Hyeon-woo alternately. Hyeon-woo's clothes were mostly neat, but Alberg's was dusty. “It seems like I’ve been a little dirtier.” “What can you look at despite that?” “Do you think you would have been fine if I had fought properly?” “Then fight properly!” Hyeon-woo was furious, clenching his fists and approached, but Dojin stopped him. “Calm down for now, Hyeon-woo.” When he grabbed his wrist and spoke softly, Hyeon-woo also stopped moving forward. How much had he suffered all this time? His heart ached when he saw his slender body. After all, he did not agree with this plan, but with belated regret, Do-jin embraced Hyeon-woo. At that time, Alberg suddenly pricked up his pointy ears. “Wow. That’s crazy!" "What?" “Is there a kid in the barrier right now?” Do-jin nodded his head. “Did the barrier just break by that kid?” "That's right." “I’ll be thrilled. The kid is from the same race.” “What do you think of it?” “How do you think it will turn out?” Alberg asked in an unusually friendly voice. “It's full of demons and monsters inside. people are dead. They called out that their baby was in danger. What will be the outcome?" “It’s going to be a mess.” “Yeah, that’s it. The bigger problem is that if the Angels start to intervene, the Demons and other races will also try to move along.” Alberg shook his head and said. Around that time, a strange sound came from a corner. “Kwueek.” It was the dying fairy. At one point, it almost died, but somehow it managed to close its wounds and crawled half way to get here. “So me! Please go back to Demon World soon! I did, eh!” The fairy spoke with a teary face, but Alberg didn't even pretend to listen. “Well, when the Angels come, fun things happen.” “What do you mean?” "Don't listen, Hyung." “Fighting the Angels is so much fun. The screams they make every time they pull out their wings are superb." Hyeon-woo picked up a stone that was rolling on the floor and threw it at Alberg. “You shut up! If you intervene and fight, I'll really kill you!" “It’s too much.” As the two bickered, through the hole in the ceiling, he could see the sky changing in a strange way. Clouds formed in the blue sky, and light came down through them. And through the light, several figures were shining and appearing. "Because it's okay to just come down, it always comes down like that." "Oh my god!" The fairy slammed the floor with a despairing expression. The real Heavenly Demon War will break out at this rate. That too, in a completely different place, not in their territory. 'That should not happen! The fairy desperately struggled to open the channel. I had to somehow convey this to the Queen. "Umm. therefore." Ivan looked up at the sky and frowned at him. "If I'm not seeing something wrong, it looks like an angel is about to come down." Then, looking at Junichi next to him, he nodded. “I am seeing the same thing.” "Me too." "So do I." Others agreed with Junichi. “What happened?” In the midst of the crowd, Seon-woo put his head on his head as if this was going to be a huge mess. It seemed that this was one of Miriel's moves. “Why?” He didn't even have the energy to use honorific words anymore. Miriel, who came close to Seon-woo and whether or not she knew how she felt, proudly placed her hand on his shoulder. “Don’t worry now, they have come to help the humans, so everyone will be safe.” “No, I mean.” Seon-woo felt speechless. Then, he gathered all his strength and dragged Miriel into the corner. “I’m still going through a hard time because of the demons, but what if you call the angels too!” “The Angels are different from the Demons. They’ll not kill people unjustly like them.” “It doesn’t work though. Send them back!” “But I already called.” “This was something people could do with their own hands. Didn't I say that if the Angels were added to the Demons, there could be a war here?" When Seon-woo spoke in anger, Miriel made an excuse with a slightly discouraged expression. “I only called a few adults from my parents’ family, so it should be fine.” “Then are they going back after defeating the demons?” "Maybe?" “Answer me clearly.” “I’ll send them back!” “That’s it.” It was only after receiving a definite answer from Miriel that Seon-woo sat down with his back leaning against the wall. It was only belatedly that severe fatigue set in. “Ah, this is gonna be troublesome.” Leon rubbed his chin with his hand, looking at the light in the sky. "I know, right. No way did that Angel kid call out angels of that caliber. Actually, the family must have been pretty good, right?” Ainas also agreed with Leon. "Then what now? Shall we withdraw?" “Are we at a disadvantage?” “It is not. Libby is one of the strongest in the Demon Realm. No matter how many of those Angels there are, you can easily defeat them.” “Then I think it would be better to kill her. I don't think people who look at that and have hope for nothing should come out. Besides, if we don't deal with her now, she might bring in higher-ranking kids.” “Then I’ll get ready.” A sharp whistling sound echoed through the hall. Then, the monsters, who had been wandering around blankly for a while, started grunting with their teeth settling again. They even crawled out from somewhere and began to fill the inside. "Once the barrier is broken, let's go outside!" At Lena's cry, most of the people jumped out of the barrier. Leon didn't bother holding onto those people. He just stared at the slowly descending angels. “Miriel.” The first to step down was an elegant male Angel. "Father!" “I heard you secretly disappeared, so what were you doing in a place like this? Did I teach you to be like this?" Miriel's father, contrary to his appearance, severely scolded Miriel. "I’m sorry!" “Come on, stop it. Hayel. Shouldn't we be doing something else first?" “Sure, that too. Miriel, prepare yourself after everything is over. I'm not going to just let it go this time." “Yes, Father.” Hayel then turned his attention to Leon, to be exact, to Libby. “You are evil demons.” “Really, do you guys always say the same thing?” Ainas, who stepped forward instead of Libby, said with a smirk.

"What happened?" As always, Hyeon Gyu-ha was keenly aware of his reaction. In Yoo-shin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, trying to suppress his anxious and trembling emotions. "I guess I got drunk after having a drink for the first time in a while." Did the lie work? I don't know. In Yoo-shin didn't look at Hyeon Gyu-ha's face or the status screen, but buried his face in his chest. He felt a short intake of breath above his head, and his heartbeat resonated deeply once. 14 years ago, Hyeon Gyu-ha was only 14 years old. Now, he was so strong that it was hard to imagine him shaking or getting hurt, but would a 14-year-old child version of him have been like that? Hyeon Gyu-ha at 14 years old. The deaths of Kang Seok-woo and the men of the Yangsa Group, who he had followed like parents. In Yoo-shin swallowed a low sigh. I couldn't look into the link between them, and I shouldn't even think about looking into it. "You approached me first, so I wish I could just drink every day." One feels relieved at the frivolous joke that flows, softly stroking the nape of his neck. "What did you eat for dinner, Gyu-ha- ssi ?" “I brought something like cheese and crackers. I went with wine as a bribe asking them to take good care of me, but they immediately suggested opening it and drinking it together. Since I had to drive, I didn't drink alcohol but just ate some snacks.” “Wow.” “What does that exclamation mean?” “I am surprised that Gyu-ha- ssi  also thinks of asking for special treatment.” “I’ll have a social life if it’s for you, Master.” In Yoo-shin shrugged his shoulders and laughed. When did he become so comfortable joking with someone who was scary at first and afraid to even make eye contact? “Shall we walk for a bit?” He walked side by side with Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was pushing a bike. The back gate soon led to the bustling university street, but there was no one who could tell if he had used a scroll. "I'm concerned that that kid(small monster) isn't a regular mob boss, but the boss of the Erosion Gate. The person I met today is a doctor who is one of the best in Korea when it comes to studying demons and taming. He's a tamer himself, although his rank is low. Do you want to go and talk with him about this and that? He was interested in you because he heard that you tamed the boss of the Erosion Gate." "Me? Is that okay?" "I've already filled up the tank, so we could go whenever you're free tomorrow, Yoo-shin- ssi . And since I work at a national research institute, I might be able to get permission to go during work hours if I can talk to our team leader."  "It's almost like I'm getting paid to do nothing now that I'm in the Hyunmu(헌무) department." Come to think of it, I've never done anything that could be called work except for working out or following Hyeon Gyu-ha around on outside works. I was suddenly transferred to a new position, and I was given a quick handover, but it didn't seem to mean much.  "I'm glad that my taxes paid for Master’s salary. So, what do you want to do?"  "Can I think about it for a bit?"  The only animal I've been able to tame so far was a hamster, so I didn't know how other tamers use their tamed animals. I'm sure I'd get some good advice if I met the doctor who introduced me, but one hesitation made me hesitate to answer.  “It’s not urgent, so you can decide slowly. I’ll give you the doctor’s business card, so if you want to meet later, you can go separately.”  Hyeon Gyu-ha gave me a business card. It was Dr. Cho Sang-pil from the Strategic Capability Research Institute.  He didn’t have a place to put the business card right away, so he put it in his phone case, but he almost dropped it when he got a call. It was a call from the office, so he quickly answered it. - Yoo-shin- ssi , I'm sorry to bother you since you've already left work. Are you with Team Leader Hyeon by any chance? I've been trying to reach the team leader but he’s not answering his phone. “Would you like to tell him?” - Please. Hyeon Gyu-ha took the phone with a curt expression, asking why he’s calling after he’s off work. “I've switched phones. Yeah, yeah... Anyway, I'm off work now. So, bye.” From the sound of his voice, it sounded urgent, but Hyeon Gyu-ha hung up the phone without exchanging a few words. “What’s the matter?” “The police requested assistance from the Department of Special Ability, but the teams on duty are searching the gates, so there’s no one with the ability to assist. They said they’d give me overtime pay, but I can’t just run off in the middle of a date with Master to get that little bit of money.” “Aha…………….” In Yoo-shin trailed off vaguely. Even though it must be a very necessary task, given that the police have requested it, he couldn't bring himself to say, 'Can't a useless person like me help with overtime work?' (IYS also wants to go with him.) I kept my mouth shut, but Hyeon Gyu-ha, who was watching In Yoo-shin’s expression carefully, called the office again on my cell phone. “What’s the location? send the address to me via text.” Hyeon Gyu-ha ended the call and explained nonchalantly to In Yoo-shin, who was blinking. “You look like you want me to help you.” At that moment, he couldn’t think of anything to say, so he just opened his lips blankly. Should I just say thank you?  When I finally managed to get an answer out of my mind, Hyeon Gyu-ha had already taken out his helmet and put it on him. It was fortunate that his face was easily hidden. Not all Awakeners of Class D or higher work as hunters. There are those who work in bright professions like bodyguards, police officers, and soldiers, but it’s not uncommon for them to turn to crime, lured by easy money. The police also have a support team made up of Awakeners, but sometimes, when they have a difficult problem, they would ask the Ability Department for support. The place where the request for assistance just came was a soccer field where a fight between gangsters had broken out, and there was information that some high-ranking Awakeners were mixed in. The scene upon arrival was a mess. The truck that had hit a person was riddled with bullet holes, the ground was dented, and the artificial grass was completely burnt black. Gunshots and screams continued between the police special forces and the gangsters. “There seem to be about seven Awakeners among the gangsters.” Unlike In Yoo-shin, who was stunned by the dazzling sight of Awakeners using elemental powers or sorcery, Hyeon Gyu-hs quickly grasped the situation. “There’s also a psychokineticist.” He lightly caught one of the flying bricks. “But I’m stronger. I’ll clean up right away, so just wait a moment.” “Hunter Hyeon Gyu-ha, thank you for your support! First, please subdue the Awakeners near the soccer goal!” A detective who discovered them hurriedly ran over, but Hyeon Gyu-ha ignored them and leapt into the air. And just like that, he pressed down with force on the entire parking lot. It didn't matter if they were gangsters or police officers. " Gasp! " "Ugh!" Suppressed screams rose from everywhere, and in an instant, the flash of light and gunshots disappeared. In Yoo-shin stuck out his tongue as he watched the unknown psychic’s shinbone snap. He had gotten used to it, but it was a strength of a different level no matter how many times he saw it. The detective who had hurriedly called Hyeon Gyu-ha earlier was also waving his hands as if shouting time while lying on the floor with his hair down. “Hunter! You just need to disarm the gangsters……………!”  “Ah, it's such a hassle to go into all the details. Can't we just call in more people to arrest them as they are?” “Please!” “I understand about the special forces, but who are the other people? Are they police?” “People wearing bulletproof vests!” It was a clear definition. Hyeon Gyu-ha started to distinguish between gangsters and police while slowly flying over the soccer field, feeling annoyed. A sigh of relief followed from the police, and swearing from the gangsters. Of course, the latter was soon replaced by screams. Liberated from the weight of gravity, the police officers began to move their stiff bodies and collect the gangsters. It was an easy job, simply cuffing the ones who were lying on the floor, cursing or screaming. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: eteryl Support on KOFI: Chapter 53, 54, 55 If you wanna become a translator, editor or proofreader, please use the discord link given below and follow the instructions in the recruit channel.

126. It wasn't long before the people inside noticed Leon's appearance. “It’s Leon-nim!” At the sound of someone's cry, his eyes were immediately focused on them. Leon, who appeared at the entrance, smiled lightly as usual and walked inside. “Leon-nim, please help!” An Awakened who had been stepping back from exhaustion approached Leon. Leon was a special person in America, so it was nothing unusual to lean on him. Now he will smile and say that it is okay and that he has come to help. Everyone thought so and put their minds at ease. It was strange how they believed this situation would improve with the addition of an S-class Awakened. However, the situation that followed was different from what people imagined. Slice. With the sound of meat being cut, the man's head flew off as he approached. Looking at that, the woman standing closest to him unknowingly grabbed her neck. "Huh? Huh?" Someone tugged at the nape of the neck of the woman who was looking at Leon with an expression of incomprehension. Thanks to him, she was able to save her life. “Leon, what are you doing?” Seon-woo, who had been fighting the whole time and took a breather, threw the woman behind him. Fortunately, it seemed that someone accepted her, but the screams that erupted afterwards could not be stopped. "Kyaaaak!" She sobbed as she called the man, who had used something to pull her neck, by name. “What are you doing?” Leon narrowed his eyes and looked at Seon-woo. It was a gaze that asked if you already knew everything. 'Yes, I know.' Knowing that, I wanted to save Hyung by revealing his identity. So, I had prepared a lot, and I was nervous about Anais' interruption. But I don’t understand why he’s doing this. “Have you decided not to hide it at all now?” Leon replied to Seon-woo's words. “So what are you going to do about that?” Leon raised his eyebrows.  Standing in the bloodied entrance and watching him smile eccentrically, I felt strange. Even those who believed Leon deeply in their hearts backed away without even realizing it. Even though they knew that monsters were roaming right behind him, he was more terrifying than them now. “Hey, what’s going on? What are you hiding?" Ivan interrupted their conversation. “Please let me know too.” Junichi also said so. “Hmm, if that's what you're curious about, I'll let you know. Wouldn't it be the quickest for the person himself to speak?” Leon said as he brushed off his blood-soaked sword. "It's a fact I'm telling you belatedly, but Leon." People stopped breathing and looked at Leon's mouth. “Ah, no. Actions may speak louder than words.” At the same time as he said that, Leon stabbed the person closest to him with his sword. In a hurry, Seon-woo defended himself with ice, but it penetrated even that and easily took one of the lives. That person even wore the uniform of the Guardian Guild. Even after that, Leon easily killed people. Other Awakened tried to stop him, but he dealt with the weak ones tenaciously. It was hard to keep up with his speed with a tired body. “Aah, as expected, Leon-nim!” Anais clasped his hands together and his eyes twinkled. At first, the human-like appearance had long since changed to that of a demon. “A-a monster!” Someone shouted at Anais. “They are monsters!” “Oi, then the monster who hears will be offended.” Anais smiled broadly and wiggled his fingers. Then the monsters rushed towards the person who spat out the monster. “Haa, damn it.” Ivan desperately followed Leon and cursed at him. If you move even a little slowly, people will be sacrificed to his sword. However, it was not difficult to move accordingly. “Let’s try to work together.” That was why when Seon-woo said that, he didn't refuse. More than half of the people have already died. It was dangerous to let them die any longer. It was also said that when the portal opens to the outside, the number of people who will block it will drastically decrease. "Great." Junichi also agreed with Seon-woo. First, Seon-woo used the ice to hold Leon. Then, Junichi attacked, and finally, Ivan blocked the retreat. Although their attributes were different, the three came together quite plausibly. Thanks to this, the deaths of the awakened gradually slowed down. In addition, the situation improved little by little as Miriel, who had dealt with the monsters to some extent, targeted Anais. "Die, demons!" “Because I really hate it. Why can angels only say the same thing?" Anais grumbled and went out to deal with Miriel. However, in the first place, she was not a demon who used her physical strength, and on the contrary, Miriel was young but good at fighting. Because of that, the gap of time was being filled. Thud! At that moment, a huge echo began to be heard from outside again. This time it echoes from the wall, not from the ceiling. "Perhaps." Things may turn out positively. All of Hyeon-woo's monsters came to their senses and were helping people. If so, this might also be the sound his monster makes. He thought so. “I like this situation.” At that time, Leon, who was cornered, opened his mouth out of nowhere. Strangely, sounds echoed everywhere, even though he spoke softly. So there was no one who couldn't hear the sound. “The moment people join forces to defeat evil, the moment people have hope.” Leon's blue eyes turned black. “Do you know how much fun it is to break those expectations? There is nothing more delicious than the despair that comes after hope. isn't it? Ainas.” "Heheheh." Anais, no Ainas, burst into laughter even during the fight. “As expected Libby-sama, the one I swore allegiance to! Now, give them despair.” As soon as the words were over, black smoke swept through the surroundings. 'That's dangerous.' As soon as he recognized it, Seon-woo quickly covered his body with an ice shield. Junichi raised his sword straight ahead, and Ivan covered the surroundings with flames. “Everyone, avoid it!” They quickly issued a warning, and the others went to their defenses. Most of the people here are capable Awakened, so the time it took to defend themselves was extremely short. Even so, the smoke cleared and the scene that was revealed was terrifying. The weakest were dying, one after another. “H-how do you beat this?” Someone muttered. Seeing that, Miriel's expression twisted horribly. It was also an act worthy of a demon. The way he drove people into despair in an instant and enjoyed him seemed terrible. But I can't stop here. “If only I could remove the barrier.” There was a trick hidden from Miriel as well. Thud! Meanwhile, the thumping noise continued. And finally, the barrier began to shake. “Well, it would be impossible for that stupid dragon to break through here.” Ainas murmured. As for Tiamat, the dragon on Hyeon-woo's side had no talent for magic since childhood. In a word, it was said that physical strength was everything, but to be able to shake the barrier with that alone. “Are you using blood?” Even if he can't use magic, his body is of a dragon. If you knock on the barrier using blood, you'll be able to solve it somehow, even if it's worse than magic. 'Is it time to step back?' Ainas rolled his eyes. 『Now, do you know who I am?』 Leaving the bloodied body behind, Leon said. The girl who saw the scene of the slaughter sat down on the spot. And without even realizing it, she spit out a word. “Villain.” But why? He's the leader of the Guardian Guild? What’s the point in you being a villain? You've been working hard for peace. You told me that a world where everyone lives in peace is a dream! Countless thoughts ran through her head. "Tell me it's a lie, please?" The girl hurriedly approached the laptop and opened the bulletin board. As she moved the mouse with a trembling hand, she saw the confusing writings. No matter which post she opened, everyone was saying the same thing. It was said that what she saw now was not an illusion of his own. "Nonsense." The girl ran her hand through her hair. "Nonsense." So what will the world be like now? If all the Awakened over there die, who will solve the portal? She knew that not all the awakened in the world went there, but the feeling of hopelessness did not go away. And the feelings the girl felt now were also felt by many others. Still, there were people who moved. Surprisingly, those were the remaining Guardian Guild members. Even though they found out that their leader was a villain, they moved their bodies to save people, albeit belatedly. There were a lot of people who fell in love with Leon, but there was still a feeling that they had in their heart. The desire to keep world peace. That desire moved them.

As the conversation continued, the other students perked up their ears with interest. Professor Seo smiled and took a bite of a piece of fried chicken. “I ended up lecturing you during the meal. I’m sorry for making you lose your appetite. I’ll start from the basics for our young student, Yoo-shin- ssi . If you get bored, you can take a nap.” With a joke, she continued her explanation in a way that even non-major In Yoo-shin could easily understand. Gate studies(Gateology), which began 60 years ago with the appearance of the first gate, was a fairly comprehensive field of study. It included not only gates and dungeons, but also the abilities of the Awakeners and various byproducts such as crystal stones. Recently, as the theory of parallel worlds was established, it has come to cover even the fragmentary history and culture. “Dr. Kang conducted research on Awakeners. What kind of research do you think it was? The hint is that It's a minor area of study. Want to take a guess? Oh, and don't go searching for any papers on this.” “Oh, professor.  How am I supposed to guess with just the hint that it's a minor study on Awakeners? Can’t you give us more hints?" "Um, alright. I’ll be generous to give one more hint. The second hint is a hidden attribute." The students who heard the second hint looked even more puzzled. Park Seung-gi also tilted his head. "Hidden attributes are already rare…………………" “He’s a person who delves into a very minor area of research, even among rare things.” “By any chance………………… is it special attribute?” “Oh! The answer came right away? Who is it?” Professor Seo and the students’ eyes widened. The one who cautiously raised his hand was In-Yoo Shin, the only non-major in the room. “Is it the intuition of the Awakener? Yoo-shin- ssi , have you ever thought about studying Gatekeeping? Since Gatekeeping is such a new field, only about 60 years old, intuition is really important. If you’re an Awakener and have a good sense, that’s the best.” Professor Seo gave a thumbs-up and praised him, but In Yoo-sin forced a smile. He had casually thrown out the question about being related to Hyeon Gyu-ha and researching hidden traits, just to see if it would be true. The fact that it was correct made him even more uneasy. Gong Tae-seong’s words were becoming more and more believable. “If it’s an attribute, it’s the rare Centaur attribute, the Durahan attribute, or something like that?” “That’s right. For Koreans, something familiar would be the Guseondae trait, too.” The attribute was usually related to the mystery of the old stories that were passed down in the form of tales or myths, but it did not display any special abilities. Just because you have the Centaur attribute, you are not half-human and half-horse, and just because you have the Durahan attribute, you cannot carry around a cut-off head. Just like Hyeon Gyu-ha, who has the vampire attribute, does not suck human blood or turn into a bat. In Yoo-shin put down the bowl of Jajangmyeon that he had not even eaten and just fiddled with his chopsticks. Meanwhile, Professor Seo continued his explanation. “Dr. Kang hypothesized that the attribute may not have been manifested as an ability, but may have been imprinted in the genes of humans. Should we call it a kind of missing link? In the past, Dr. Kang’s claims would have been ignored as crazy.” However, humans saw the Gate, and they also encountered the legendary mystery that sometimes appeared as a boss or hidden boss at the Gate. That was why Hyeon Gyu-ha had predicted that Minan, a hero from a myth, would be the hidden boss. "Just half a year ago, a dungeon with a Jirisan Mountain setting opened in Algeria, and the hidden boss there was the baby warrior Uturi from our Korean folktales. But the background of the Uturi tale is estimated to be around the late Goryeo and early Joseon periods. That's the problem. What could this mean?" (Uturi is a character from Korean folklore, known for his superhuman strength.) A Korean folktale character appearing in an Algerian dungeon set in the present day is illogical. "During the late Goryeo and early Joseon periods in our Earth's history, didn't supernatural beings with extraordinary powers no longer exist?" “Correct. Until 60 years ago, all of that was just legends, not history. But after the gate opened, voila. The mysteries that we only heard of as legends are real? It’s like a parallel world? But why was it considered a legend on our Earth?” “…….” “Perhaps we can assume this? The beginning of humanity began with mysteries, but at some point, the parallel world where things like nine-tailed foxes, wolves, humans, and fairies continued to exist split into our Earth where they all disappeared. At that ‘point,’ mysteries other than humans died out, but the information remained in their genes, and it may have been implemented as the characteristics of the Awakened. That was Dr. Kang’s research.” Of course, I wasn't sure from the beginning that the mysterious being who appeared as a boss inside the gate actually existed. I just thought that the world inside the gate was distorted, so the legend perceived by humans could be realized. The research began under the assumption that it existed only after the parallel world theory was established. Kang Seok-woo was a scholar who had been arguing for parallel worlds and focusing on traits even before that. "It wasn't something that got much attention in the academic world. Even during Dr. Kang's lifetime, the parallel world theory wasn't accepted. You could say that he was ahead of his time." "But, professor." Park Seung-gi asked with a puzzled expression. "Isn't the research on attributes almost dead now? I don't think I've ever heard of it. The theory of parallel worlds has been established, so why isn't there anyone doing research like Dr. Kang? Is it because there are so few awakened people with attributes?" "That's one reason. There are some researchers abroad, but it's a bit difficult in Korea. Hmm, this is a bit deep................." Professor Seo, who had drained another glass of soju, put it down on the table with a loud thud. She hesitated with a red face due to the intoxication, but soon made up her mind and moved her lips. "If you're not a child and interested in this, you'll understand someday, so I'll explain. To cut to the chase, I can't do it because I have to watch out for the conglomerates." “What are you talking about?” “Exactly. Research requires money, and if you’re on the bad side of a conglomerate, how much more difficult would it be? If they wanted to, it wouldn’t be a problem to cut off the funding of a single research lab.” Professor Seo made a bitter smile and poured herself some soju. “Yangsa Group.” “Huh?” “The chaebol that sponsored Dr. Kang. Dr. Kang was a senior researcher at a prestigious research institute with a guild that was connected to him. However, 14 years ago, he suddenly died in an accident, and not long after that, people from Yangsa also started dying one after another.” It was a famous incident that is still occasionally mentioned even now, even though it happened 14 years ago. From the chairman of Yangsa Group, a large corporation ranked in the top 10 in the business world, to his nephew and niece, only the men died one after another. Because of this, Yangsa, which insisted on the eldest son’s succession, the deceased chairman’s wife took over as the new chairman, and the only daughter who had been excluded was scheduled to take over the chairmanship. She is also Gong Tae-seong’s ex-wife. “Since the cause of death has not been revealed, there are theories that he was cursed or killed by a sorcerer, but, considering the timing of the events immediately following Dr. Kang's death, it's quite a coincidence.” “Then, could it be because of Dr. Kang’s grudge(resentment)………………?” A student, weak when it comes to ghost stories and spooky tales, shuddered and trembled their shoulders. “This is just a rumor, so don’t take it seriously. I heard that Dr. Kang conducted research on immortality for the deceased former chairman. If there’s an attribute that could be related to immortality………………. Hmm, what’s it?” “Mermaid?” “Hey, they say you have to eat mermaid meat to become immortal.” “Ahasberus (a cursed Jewish person who wanders forever) and Utnapishtim (an immortal in Sumerian mythology) are not races, so they won’t be implemented as attributes……………….” “In cases like those two, which gate would they be the boss of? When I meet them, I want to ask if they are truly immortal.” “Hey, you should get your thesis paper approved first.” The students who had something to discuss soon became noisy. Next to Professor Seo, who was happily watching the scene, In Yoo-shin bowed his pale face alone. If there were legendary beings that were immortal, wouldn’t there be a representative race? Someone said as if they had read his mind. “Like vampires.” After dinner, Professor Seo and the students went out for a second round, but In Yoo-shin said goodbye there. It was a bit odd to follow him to the bar, but more than anything, it didn’t seem like the alcohol would go down. ‘I shouldn’t have said that.......’ A belated regret came flooding back. Even though I knew that it wasn’t something I should know deeply about since I had no relationship with him, Gong Tae-seong’s words were still on my mind. Why? Why? The question that had no answer, like the ring on his left ring finger, dragged his ankle. At that moment, the name on the phone screen that had called seemed to be reproaching him, so In Yoo-shin hesitated for a while and then picked up the phone. “………………Yes, Gyu-ha- ssi .” - Did you eat dinner? “The professor took us to a Chinese restaurant.” - The Chinese restaurant in front of the school is delicious. When will does it finish? I’ll pick you up. “Oh, I just came out a little while ago…………………….” - The gate department is close to the back gate, right? I’ll go there now, so it’s nearby. The call was cut off before he could even answer. His fingers, which were about to call to tell him that he didn’t have to come, hesitated and wandered through the air before getting caught inside. In Yoo-shin put his phone in his pocket and looked down. The tips of his sneakers tapping the floor felt cold for some reason. "Yoo-shin- ssi ." The exhaust sound of the bike stopped in front of him, and a friendly voice caught his attention. He knew why he couldn't help but ask who Kang Seok-woo was from the bright smile that was delighted even though they had only been away for a couple of hours. In Yoo-shin was scared. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: eteryl Support on KOFI: Chapter 52, 53, 54, 55 If you wanna become a translator, editor or proofreader, please use the discord link given below and follow the instructions in the recruit channel.

125. There was no further conversation after that. Leon and Alberg passed by as if they were wary of each other. Now that the alliance was broken, it was time for each of them to do their part. Watching Alberg take another step, the fairy kept her mouth shut. No matter how hard she tried, there was no way to get out of this situation. There was an angel, Miriel, but she was too childish. It was just so frustrating. Whether or not he knew how the fairy felt, Alberg walked lightly and arrived at his desired destination– A prison created by the World Awakened Association to temporarily confine high-level villains. Originally, there should have been an Awakened guarding the front, but now it was empty. A smile appeared on Alberg's face as he finally got what he wanted. "I'm going to meet Hyeon-woo after a long time. Is this a bit too much?" Alberg was still in the form of a boy. This appearance wasn't bad either, but he still wanted to look like an adult like when he met Hyeon-woo. Because of that, he changed his appearance by exerting the power he had quietly accumulated over the years. As the small, slender boy grew taller, muscles began to form in his body. In an instant, the boy was reborn as a young man. His waist-length hair grew longer, and his soft eyes became sharper. On the outside, he looked like a young man in his prime, but that's just a characteristic of a demon that never ages, but if you look into his eyes, you can see the centuries flash. "Then shall we go?" Alberg entered through the open door. The door of the cube placed in a large space was still closed, but it wasn't difficult to open that much. “Whatever.” After breaking through the door of the cube, inside, Hyeon-woo, whose entire body was restrained, was stretched out on a chair. He looked thinner and more exhausted than the last time he saw him. “Alberg.” Even in that situation, Hyeon-woo recognized Alberg's voice at once. Chills ran down his spine at the sound of a voice calling his name. “Yeah, it’s me.” Hyeon-woo opened his mouth again, but he closed it without saying anything further. It seemed that he had no strength to continue his words. “I’m here to rescue you.” The fairy put on a distressed expression at Alberg's kind voice, but that was all. She had no choice but to observe the situation. “I’ve had a hard time.” The voice began to contain demonic energy, it had the power to seduce and change people's minds. That power caressed Hyeon-woo. Originally, it was a power that could not be eaten. Hyeon-woo didn't know much about magic, but he developed resistance to demonic energy while living in the Demon Realm. But what about now? He was exhausted. The fairy, who was clenching her teeth, rose vigorously from the air. It is often said that fairies are beings without feelings, but it is not true. They also have feelings, and can even like someone. So did the fairy. 'Wrong.' While living in the Demon Realm, it seemed that she had developed affection for Hyeon-woo. After all, how long had they been together? It wasn't too much. So, despite Alberg's threat, the fairy tried to contact Hyeon-woo elsewhere. It could have been the celestial realm, or it could have been the fairy realm. Wherever she was, she had the fastest connection to anywhere she wanted!  However, just as she was about to exert her power, the fairy was hit by Alberg's power and fell to the ground. “Uck!” She tried to get back up, but Alberg kicked the fairy again. She somehow managed to protect her body, but only her life was spared. The fairy had no choice but to look at Alberg and Hyeon-woo while panting and through blurred eyes. “But there won’t be any difficulties now.” Alberg, who brutally kicked the fairy, acted as though he was cotton candy with Hyeon-woo. “I can tell you. All that remains is happiness." As long as you come with me. “Let’s go back to the Demon Realm together.” Alberg whispered sweetly and removed the cloth covering Hyeon-woo's eyes. At this point, he must have fallen into his own insinuation. He thought so and he slipped it off, but he was wrong. Hyeon-woo's eyes were shining brightly as before. “As if I ever want to go back again.” Alberg's complexion changed. However, for a while, Alberg, realizing that Hyeon-woo was still imprisoned, tried to hint again. “Fuck, don’t you know how much I struggled to solve this?” Hyeon-woo's arm suddenly came up and grabbed Alberg by the collar. The chains that bound him had come loose before he knew it, and all that was left was the straitjacket, but even that was torn off. Hyeon-woo, who became free, pushed Alberg, who was holding him by the collar. “You go to the Demon Realm alone. I'm not going." "Why?" “Why?” “Humans will hate you now?” "Right." Hyeon-woo answered surprisingly calmly. "So? Any other reasons?” “I love you.”  "That doesn't matter to me either." "Hyeon-woo." “What is more important to me is. The shit I heard while I was imprisoned seemed like Leon wasn't alone in his plan. Did you lend a hand too?” “What if I did?” At Alberg's answer, Hyeon-woo sighed. "I thought so. Demons will always be demons. There’s no way that will change.” “What are you going to do with me?” “What can I do? I won't do anything.” At those words, Alberg's heart sank. “Even though I made you suffer so much?” "Yeah. Because I know it will be more painful for you to show indifference than for me to take revenge on you." Hyeon-woo said that and turned around. "No." Alberg, who turned around and watched his back, spat out words of denial. “I can’t miss you like this.”  Hyeon-woo didn't answer. “If you leave me like this and turn around, I will run out and kill humans. Most of the strong Awakened are locked away in this building, so there's no one to stop it.” In order to somehow make Hyeon-woo look back, Alberg randomly brought up his words. "Humans will taste hell on earth."  “Ah, this is really annoying.” Hyeon-woo scratched his head with his hand and turned his head away. “Yeah, you have to see the end once in a while. Let's fight, you bastard. Instead, if you lose to me, you will no longer cling to me.” “What if I win?” “Do as you please.” “Great, I swear by my name.” Then the clash between the two began. "They're really incessant." Lena opened her mouth wide and caught her breath. She was exhausted both physically and mentally by the monsters constantly attacking her. Those who knocked on the wall and tried to break it were now participating in the battle. Otherwise, they would all be swept away by the waves of monsters. Kerberos and Spotty, who came to their senses belatedly, joined, but the situation did not improve significantly. "But I've been worried about it since before." Ain pointed at the camera installed at the top of the building. “Is that working?” "I don't know. I tried to turn it on just in case, but it wouldn’t budge.” “I think it will be a big deal if the situation here goes outside.” “That’s right. If you think positively, someone will come to rescue us.” “If not, you will see this situation and despair again.” All the fairly strong Awakened were trapped here. And their worries were not wrong. In fact, the camera was broadcasting the situation inside through terrestrial broadcasting, and everyone who saw it was embarrassed. The article was posted on an internet bulletin board, and comments were posted under it. Title: Watch the broadcast now! It looks like there is a terrorist attack on the World Awakened Association! It's the worst! Comments: - Who attacked them? - I saw it from the beginning and it looks like Anais. - That can't be! She’s not crazy! She said that it was she who turned so many people into monsters! - Aren't we supposed to send a rescue team?  - Who are you going to send? There are some of the best Awakened people in the world there. -Still, enduring from the inside may be different from helping by attacking from the outside. - My God, my God! saw? Did you see? Now, Leon-sama is heading to the place where the chaos broke out! He will save us! -I don't know anymore. Leon-nim and Anais-nim were on good terms. - But it's not her! He’s our savior! A sample of justice! Standing in front of the hall where the Awakened gathered and fought, Leon looked up at the camera and smiled. "Uh?" The girl who called Leon her savior blinked slowly. He wondered if he was seeing something wrong, so he rubbed his eyes, but what he saw didn't change. He was looking at the camera and laughing. 'What are you laughing at?' Her heart skipped a beat in this situation. The girl involuntarily put her hand on her chest and stared at the TV. She thought the video might be cut off in the middle, but it was still going on. It seemed that the broadcasting station couldn't do anything about it. Leon turned his gaze away from the camera and put his hand on the door of his hall. And he went inside as effortlessly as if he were being absorbed. “Yeah, I had to wake the outside people after all.” He tried to mumble, but no one heard it. He felt like he was going crazy with anxiety. HM: System: your heart has now sunk deeper into the ocean’s depth.

Epilogue 3.   As soon as I made up my mind, a new message from Chae Yoo-jeong arrived with perfect timing.   [Yoojeong: Hyung hyung]   [Yoojeong: I turned on the computer]   [Yoojeong: I like doing discord call]   [Yoojeong: Are you turning on the discord call as well?]   [Yoo Ji-han: Yep]   You want me to turn it on... what? How does he send such cute messages? This is truly absurd.   When I turned on the discord call, the username ‘Yoo Chae’ called me. It was Chae Yoo-jeong.   Surprisingly, neither of us had deleted our Discord accounts. It was because we were both so busy with reality that our thoughts couldn’t reach that point. Thanks to this, the call was connected right away without having to reconnect.   “Hyung?”   “Yes.”   Chae Yoo-jeong’s voice, slightly different from the one I usually meet or hear on the phone, came through his headset.   As expected, something else was correct. Now that I know that ‘Yoo Chae’ and ‘Chae Yoo-jeong’ are the same person, it’s hard to feel a big difference.   Perhaps because of the sound quality or performance of the headset microphone, there was a strange difference from reality, so I used to wonder if he was really a different person.   “Did anything happen while you were getting here?”   “No. I took a taxi and arrived safely.”   “Good job.”   “Yes.”   Is it because of my mood? Something feels awkward. Why does the conversation end ambiguously?   I said, trying to ignore the rigid atmosphere.   “Umm… Would you like to try turning on Zenoris first? Ah, you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to. Because there are many other games.”   “No it’s okay. I have already installed Zenoris. I’ll turn it on now.”   “I looked for something to do before you came, and I heard that one island has been newly updated. If you talk to the informant NPC, he will give you a scroll to move locations. Let’s meet in front of there.”   “Alright.”   Silence fell once again. While I was waiting for Chae Yoo-jeong to come in, I seriously thought about the cause of this strange silence that kept coming.   Is it still too much to play games together? Then I guess I can say that honestly.   ‘No.’   He’s the type of guy who pays attention to every single detail, but there was no way he would tell me something like that. While I was trying to figure out how to make Chae Yoo-jeong feel at ease and enjoy the game with me, he was the first to speak up.   “Hyung.”   “Uh. You’re already here?”   “Yes, that… I came to the NPC….”   Chae Yoo-jeong, who hesitated for a while, then asked.   “What channel are you on?”   “channel? wait for a sec. It’s… It’s channel 1.”   Why are you suddenly asking about the channel? It was a time when I was confused by a sudden question. Chae Yoo-jeong said with a shy smile.   “I didn’t… know what channel it was because I couldn’t add Hyung as a friend. I’ll change channels now.”   “Ah…….”   “…….”   “…….”   An embarrassing silence fell between us that was incomparable to the silence that had come twice before.   I couldn’t bear the suffocating air any longer and covered my face with both hands. Fuck.   ***   I quickly added Yoo-jeong as a friend and used the scroll to move to Ruto Island.   As the guild members said, there wasn’t much difficulty as the quest was guided by walking around the island, talking to NPCs, or breaking dungeons to obtain items.   The tense atmosphere that had been making me feel dry started to ease up little by little as I chatted while doing the quest. I was really fortunate.   After playing for about 2 hours, the quest began to come to an end. Now all you have to do is deliver the acquired items to the final NPC and the island content is over. It ended earlier than expected, but since Chae Yoo-jeong had to go back to his dorm tomorrow, it seemed better for him to finish the game along with the quest.   “Let’s talk to the NPC and finish the quest. and……”   I was about to tell him to turn it off and rest since he was probably tired, but my attention was caught by a guild chat window that suddenly came up.   [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: ?????   [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Sleepy-nim   [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: You are doing a quest together with Gilma-nim?   [Guild] Harn: Huh?   [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: No, Since Water-nim became the Gilma   [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Yoo Chae   [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: I saw you two while doing a secret quest as a sub-character, but is it the real Yoo Chae??   [Guild] Harn: ?   [Guild] Mocha Bread: Yoo Chae?   [Guild] I’m getting lazy: fr You say it’s Yoo chae-nim?   [Guild] Harn: Yoo chae-nim?   [Guild] Drink some water: ?   [Guild] Manaolingnam: Really?   [Guild] Mocha Bread: Sleepy-nim and Yoo chae-nim are secretly dating??   [Guild] I’m sleepy: ?   [Guild] TheHunter: The old Gilma came to the game?   [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: Gosh   [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: Where is he? In Ruto Island?   [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: yeah The two of them are doing a quest together on Ruto Island   I clicked my tongue as the guild chat flooded in. Gosh.   I thought it would be okay since everyone said it was a quest they had already finished, but I never thought they would have been raising sub characters during this time.   Chae Yoo-jeong left the guild and quit Zenoris because of me, so if he meets a guild member, the situation will only get more complicated.   [Guild] I’m sleepy: What are you talking about?   [Guild] I’m sleepy: It looks like you saw something stupid in the early morning ha   [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: I feel like I saw something wrong   [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: I’m going to check again with my main characterㅋ   [Guild] Manaolingnam: Gasp gasp, me too   [Guild] Manaolingnam: I want to go too, Ruto Island, right?   [Guild] Harn: ur too slow ㅋ   [Guild] Harn: I have already arrived at Ruto Islandㅋ   Guild] Drink some water: What is it?   [Guild] Drink some water: It’s not a joke, fr right?   [Guild] I’m sleepy: ㅠ..   [Guild] Crazy hunting friend: Crazy, I’m going too   [Guild] TheHunter: Ruto Island?   [Guild] I’ll take care of you: No, wait... is it real?   [Guild] Bright Clouds: I can’t stand this;; I’m going right now ㅋㅋ   “…….”   As I watched the guild members running excitedly, I got a headache. Until just now, it was nice to see the same guild members I hadn’t seen in a long time, but now I was tired because they were still the same.   “Hyung?”   “That… Chae Yoo-jeong.”   I was at a loss as to how to handle this, so when I didn’t move, Chae Yoo-jeong, who was ahead of me, also stopped next to me. But before I could explain, the guild members who had discovered our location like ghosts came rushing in.   [All] Mocha bread: Gasp, f1k   [All] Mocha bread: It’s really fr Yoo Chae??   [All] Harn: An unexpected appearance, I’m not imagining this   [All] Drink some water: What is this ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ   [All] TheHunter: hi? ㅋㅋㅋ   [All] Manaolingnam: You’re crazy, what are you two doing here???   [All] Bright Clouds: Gasp Gilmanimㅠㅠㅠㅠ   [All] Yoo Chae:?   The front of the castle where the last NPC was located was noisy due to guild members breaking in. I looked at the chaotic chat window and confessed it with a sigh.   “Sorry. One of the guild members said he saw us while doing an island quest as a sub-character. Everyone said they already did it a long time ago, so I thought it would be okay.”   “What? aah…… Why is Hyung apologizing? It’s okay to meet them again I guess.”   After hearing what I said, Chae Yoo-jeong responded in his usual voice. It really doesn’t matter, right? Anyway, I think he would be concerned because they were members of the guild he was active in.   [All] Drink some water: Wow, you hid this from us and only the two of you are on a date?    [All] Drink some water: It’s too much, really ㅋ~   [All] Harn: fr   [All] Manaolingnam: Shock itself omg omg   [All] Bright Clouds: too muchㅠ   [All] Bright Clouds: Still, he was once a Gilma   [All] Bright Clouds: Didn’t you even miss us?ㅠㅠ   [All] Yoo Chae: yea   [All] Bright Clouds: ?   [All] TheHunter: fk ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ   [All] Manaolingnam: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ   [All] Drink some water: Look how fucking indifferent you are ㅋㅋ   [All] Park Seung-jin99: ah, that bad mannered guy   [All] Park Seung-jin99: It’s been a while since I experienced this, so I feel dizzy.   [All] Seasoned crab sauce: fr..   Unlike when he was on a quest with me, Chae Yoo-jeong spoke with the guild members in a very indifferent manner. It definitely doesn’t look offended when you see it like that.   ‘What is this uncomfortable feeling?’   The more I watched it, the more I felt something uncomfortable in my chest. As I was rubbing my chest, which felt uncomfortable, the guild members who were chatting excitedly made a suggestion.   [All] TheHunter: Since Sleepy-nim and Yoo Chae-nim are here   [All] TheHunter: Do you think this is worth going to the new raid?   [All] TheHunter: At Least the trial version, try?   [All] Harn: Oh??   [All] Drink some water: Isn’t that great?   [All] Drink some water: I’m sure trials aren’t that difficult   [All] Crazy hunting friend: Going? I’ll tell you all the patterns.   [All] Mocha bread: Gasp, Me too go go go   [All] Mocha bread: I was already bored   Want to go to the newly added raid? Although the island quest ended earlier than expected, it was after 12 o’clock, so it might have been a little burdensome for Chae Yoo-jeong.   And more than anything, Chae Yoo-jeong has never liked me going on raids or playing with my guild members, so he will definitely refuse. Still, I asked the guy first to confirm.   “What do you want to do? Do you want to go on a raid? If you don’t like it, I won’t go.”   Of course I thought he would reject it, but the answer I got was very different from what I expected.   “I don’t mind going. I’ll do whatever you want, Hyung.”   I don’t… mind? I closed my mouth in embarrassment. At the same time, I realized what had been causing my chest to feel tight.   ‘Ah, this can’t be...……………..’   A realization that struck my mind like a thunderbolt made me lament. I wiped the corners of my eyes and barely moved my hands to type on the keyboard.   [All] I’m sleepy: no no   [All] I’m sleepy: I’ll stop here   “Hyung?”   “Chae Yoo-jeong.”   When I refused to do the Raid, I asked Chae Yoo-jeong, who called me with a puzzled look.   “Ca… Can I come see you now?”   “Yes?”   “If you say I can… I’m going to take a taxi right away. Can I go?”   It was too late to go meet someone. Moreover, since Chae Yoo-jeong had also stopped by his parents’ house, there was a high possibility that he would refuse because he was tired. Still, I couldn’t help but ask.   Because I missed Chae Yoo-jeong so much.   “……Yes.”   His answer, which came back after a long time, was full of heat.   “You can come. Please come.”   A slightly trembling voice came through his headset.   “I’ll be waiting.”     HM: Everyone knows now wwwwwwwwwww I was laughing like a dolphin. How much I wished I had popcorn to munch on….~   --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Meimei, Ghostx Support on Kofi: epilogue 4 We made a Discord Server ! please join us!

Epilogue 2.   Contrary to expectations that there would be no time until the end of June, when the spring season ends, luckily, there was one free day in April.   Due to a problem with the electric wires at the stadium, all schedules were pushed back to a week after repairs were completed. Normally, he would have to practice rather than rest even if his schedule was pushed back, but Chae Yoo-jeong had a history of collapsing last year and had received a call from home, so coach Yoo Gyung-seok sent him out of the dorm and told him to rest.   “So are you going to your hometown now?”   -Yes. I think I’ll arrive home at night, so I think I’ll be able to play the game then.   The mansion where the man who remarried Chae Yoo-jeong’s biological mother lived was located in Hannam-dong, so it was a bit far from the accommodation.   Rather, the apartment where Chae Yoo-jeong lives alone was closer, so he planned to stop by the mansion, stay at the apartment for a night, and return to the dorm tomorrow during the day.   “Are you really okay if we don’t meet today?”   I, too, had submitted documents to the company’s first half recruitment notice and was waiting for the results, so I was at least free.   I was glad that the timing was right, and I couldn’t be happier. I was very worried about Chae Yoo-jeong’s condition since he had to go to see his biological mother, regardless of the game practice.   “Don’t force it and be honest. I’ll be there right away if I take a taxi.”   It was Chae Yoo-jeong, full of bad memories of his biological mother and him. So, rather than playing a game, I wanted to meet Chae Yoo-jeong in person and comfort him, but the situation was not feasible.   -Because I don’t know when it will end.   Chae Yoo-jeong said with a low laugh, probably because he sensed the concern in my voice.   -And I also had something to talk about, so I needed to stop by at least once.   The adult-like answer was admirable, but at the same time, I sighed. Although I was still worried, I decided to respect Chae Yoo-jeong’s opinion that it was okay for now.   “Okay. If anything happens, contact me right away.”   -Yes.   ***   About a month and two weeks have passed since Chae Yoo-jeong became my lover. Although we hurt each other and had misunderstandings, we eventually became lovers and that will continue in the future.   In a situation where I didn’t have enough time to be happy, I was worried about one thing.   ‘How should I resolve this?’   The incident that Chae Yoo-jeong and I experienced was not typical. Also, since there was a period of time when we lost contact, it was natural that things would not be the same as before.   It’s not just Chae Yoo-jeong, I’ve also changed from before. In the winter when I was 24, when I first kissed Chae Yoo-jeong with the intention of dating him, I felt much lighter than I do now.   At that time, I didn’t know anything about Chae Yoo-jeong’s difficult past or the situation that put me in a pedestal.   But it’s different now. I hope that Chae Yoo-jeong will no longer feel nervous or anxious about me leaving. I wanted to try to make that happen.   [Yoojeong: I’m on my way home ㅎㅅㅎ]   [Yoojeong: The time is much later than expectedㅠ]   [Yoojeong: I’ll turn on the computer as soon as I arrive!]   [Yoojeong: (emoticon)]   [Yoo Ji-han: Be careful]   I received Chae Yoo-jeong’s message and checked the time. Chae Yoo-jeong was not able to leave his home until late at night, past 10 o’clock.   [Yoojeong: I took a taxi!]   [Yoojeong: It takes about 30 minutes >_<]   The first time I felt strange was a week after I reconciled with Chae Yoo-jeong. When I kissed Chae Yoo-jeong, the jealousy problem was over, but the strange feeling continued even after that.   It… It seemed like he was watching me, and it also seemed like he was holding back. I couldn’t pinpoint the exact reason for the strange feeling, but I was certain that Chae Yoo-jeong was not in a comfortable state.   I couldn’t bear to ask why, so I swallowed hard to prevent myself from further actions. If I asked outright, the situation would only get more complicated if Chae Yoo-jeong became more aware of me and started hiding his uncomfortable feelings.   ‘It’s getting difficult…………….’   In the past and now, Chae Yoo-jeong was a really difficult opponent. I scratched my forehead in frustration and then replied to his message.   [Yoo Ji-han: When playing Zenoris]   [Yoo Ji-han: Let’s do a discord call together]   Since I can’t see his face, I have to hear his voice to figure out how he feels. While Chae Yoo-jeong arrived at his house, I logged on to Zenoris first.   Cherry blossoms in spring! The cherry blossom petal picking event is underway.    Happy April Spring♥ The spring attendance check event is in progress.   I checked the chat window by turning off all the event pages that filled the central screen one by one so that I wouldn’t be disappointed no matter when I came in.   Greetings at 11pm on Saturday night, as it is a time when many users play games.   The guild chat window was really active with chatter. I also responded to the crowd of greetings.   [Guild] Bright Clouds: Gosh   [Guild] Bright Clouds: Sleepy-nim!!!   [Guild] I’m getting lazy: hi hi   [Guild] Harn: Hello   [Guild] Harn: Sleepy-nim welcome back   [Guild] Drink some water: I’m sleepy hi~   [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: How come when Sleepy comes, all of them are here?   [Guild] Bright Clouds: fr   [Guild] Bright Clouds: It’s been just over a month??ㅠㅠ   [Guild] I’m sleepy: hi   [Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: Hi hi   [Guild] TheHunter: Oh sleepy-nim   [Guild] TheHunter: long time no see   [Guild] I’ll take care of you: Didn’t you say you’re looking for a job?   [Guild] I’m sleepy: I submitted my resume the day before yesterday ㅋㅋ   [Guild] I’m sleepy: Now waiting for the selection processㅠㅠ   [Guild] Manaolingnam: Hi~   [Guild] Drink some water: That needs to be reviewed   [Guild] Drink some water: You are taking an interview or test, right?   [Guild] I’m sleepy: Yes   [Guild] I’m sleepy: I’m doing both the interview and aptitude test ㅋㅋㅋ   [Guild] Harn: It’s tough, it’s tough   [Guild] Bright Clouds: Before, Hunter-nim got a job   [Guild] Bright Clouds: Sleepy-nim is getting the job this time   [Guild] TheHunter: Since Sleepy-nim is one year younger than me, the timing is roughly right   [Guild] TheHunter: I envy you sleepy-nim ㅋ   [Guild] Staric: Haha   [Guild] Staric: Hunter, you’re a baby that hasn’t touched ur account in a year haha   [Guild] TheHunter: Oh yeah   [Guild] TheHunter: Would you be happy to be an assistant manager?   [Guild] Staric: ㅋㅋㅋ   [Guild] Drink some water: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ   [Guild] Harn: Don’t do that   [Guild] Harn: You two got married   The guild members I met after a long time were still the same. I liked that, so I smiled lightly.   [Guild] I’m sleepy: ?   [Guild] I’m sleepy: Hunter-nim and Staric-nim are getting married?   [Guild] Staric: Yes^^ha   [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: We did it before ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ   [Guild] TheHunter: No;; For events;;   [Guild] Staric: Happy Newlyweds   [Guild] Staric: Life is good these days^^   [Guild] TheHunter: What do you mean, I was just trying to get the title;   [Guild] I’m sleepy: It’s late, but congratulations^^   [Guild] Staric: Thank you..^^   [Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: Hunter-nim, aren’t they listening?   [Guild] TheHunter: Fuck   The Early Evening guild also inevitably changed over time. Fortunately, many new people came in and not many left. Perhaps that’s why the number of guild members has increased by about 30 compared to when Chae Yoo-jeong was in charge of Guild Master.   As I have been active in Early Evening for quite a long time, I think it is fortunate that this guild has not gone bankrupt and is still well maintained.   ‘It’s a shame I couldn’t go to the wedding.’   I was so busy that I couldn’t log in, so even if I had heard the news, I would have just said congratulations... It was a pity. I wonder how much the guild members teased those two.   [Guild] Harn: Sleepy-nim   [Guild] Harn: Did u come here to play games?   [Guild] I’m sleepy: Uh-huh   [Guild] I’m sleepy: I came here to clear my mind and have fun today ㅋㅋㅋㅋ   [Guild] I’m sleepy: Is there anything updated? Recommendations   Even though I logged in occasionally, I didn’t know much about the updates because I often just stamped my face and turned it off rather than playing the game properly.   I have to find something to do with Chae Yoo-jeong anyway, so I need to find out in advance.   [Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: A new raid dungeon has been created   [Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: An island was created   [Guild] Bright Clouds: yeah yeah   [Guild] Bright Clouds: It’s not bad to play there on an island   [Guild] Bright Clouds: It’s been a while since we’ve done everything ㅋㅋㅋ   [Guild] Drink some water: The new raid has a trial version too, so it won’t be difficult.   [Guild] Drink some water: If you’re looking for something to do right now, wouldn’t it be better to go to Ruto Island?   [Guild] Drink some water: When you go there, they will automatically give you a quest   [Guild] Drink some water: you can get a reward if you complete it while having a party yeah   [Guild] I’m sleepy: Oh   [Guild] I’m sleepy: Ruto Island? Where is the location?   [Guild] Harn: Which NPC was that information?   [Guild] Harn: Was it Lara? If you talk to her, she will give you a moving item   [Guild] Harn: If you use the scroll, you can go straight to Ruto Island Square   [Guild] I’m sleepy: tk tk   It’s perfect if party play is possible. Looking at the explanation, it doesn’t seem to be difficult.   Since I need to focus more on Chae Yoo-jeong’s mood rather than the game, I should do island quests that can be done leisurely.   HM: MC is thinking abt YC even when he’s not here anymore lol…… wow…. I don’t want this novel to end TwT    --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Meimei, Ghostx Support on Kofi: epilogue 3,4 We made a Discord Server ! please join us!

Epilogue 1. [Water Noona: Um, I] [Water Noona: I tried not to talk about this if possible] [Water Noona: Have you reconciled with Chae Yoo-jeong?] I put down the coffee cup I was drinking at the sudden message. [Yoo Ji-han: You want me to tell you honestly? ㅋ] It didn't seem like it was in a particularly serious mood, so I sent a reasonable reply and received a series of messages. [Water Noona: fkㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [Water Noona: This is ridiculous. When did you two reconcile?;;] [Yoo Ji-han: It hasn’t even been a month yet] [Yoo Ji-han: About 3 weeks ago?] [Water Noona: Ao— —] [Water Noona: Please tell me this sooner] [Yoo Ji-han: I was going to tell you if Noona looked uncomfortable] [Yoo Ji-han: There’s nothing in particular… So I forgot too sori] [Water Noona: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [Water Noona: But I agree] [Water Noona: we aren’t close ㅋㅋ] [Water Noona: It’s only been a long time since we’ve known each other] Hmm, Kang Ji-hye's message that they weren't close reminded me of Chae Yoo-jeong. To judge whether they were close or not, they just didn't seem to be very interested in each other. To be honest, Kang Ji-hye seemed to be more interested in Coach Yoo Gyung-seok, not Chae Yoo-jeong... This is something I don't know much about, so I'll skip it. [Yoo Ji-han: Anyway, why all of a sudden?] [Yoo Ji-han: Have you contacted Chae Yoo-jeong?] [Water Noona: No..] [Water Noona: Gyung-seok oppa sent me a link] [Water Noona: I saw that and asked just in case] [Water Sister: Do you want to see it?] He sent her a link? From Coach Yoo Kyeong-seok? I couldn't figure out how they were related. [Yoo Ji-han: Yes] I don't know what it is, so I have no choice but to see for myself. Not long after, Kang Ji-hye sent me an Internet link. When I clicked on it, the HOL Game Community site appeared.

Maybe you're gay too. ㄴ If you look at the LVS team broadcasts that were filmed in the past, it looks like Gamgack is the only one living in a different world ㅋㅋ “……?” The contents of the post and comments made me cringe. What on earth is causing this reaction? I immediately clicked on the video attached to the post. In the played video, Chae Yoo-jeong's face was displayed on the entire screen. Looking at the situation, it seemed like he had just finished a solo rank game and it was time for their final greeting before the end of the broadcast. In front of me, Chae Yoo-jeong, who was typing on his keyboard with an expressionless face I had never shown before, soon opened his mouth. -That's all for today……………… It was at that time when he was about to make a closing statement before the end of the broadcast. A vibrating sound was heard from the desk located outside the cam screen. Chae Yoo-jeong's eyes immediately sparkled as he checked his cell phone with a look of displeasure. His face, which had been emotionless, was instantly filled with a bright smile. -Hyung! Chae Yoo-jeong, who urgently answered the phone, opened his mouth in an excited voice for anyone to hear. Before he knew it, his ears underneath his hair had turned red. -No, no! It’s okay. I can call you. yes. Unable to hold back his laughter, Chae Yoo-jeong was so excited that he continued his conversation with the caller. The guy who was passionately talking on the phone while nodding his head soon found the cam and moved the mouse with the hand opposite to him, which was holding his cell phone. -Yes yes. Of course I’m in! Click. The video ended with the sound of a mouse tapping. He was busy talking on the phone, so he turned off the broadcast without saying ending greetings. As soon as the short video of about 1 minute and 30 seconds ended, I covered my forehead with my hand and let out a deep sigh. 'I was somehow anxious...…………….' I am well aware that Chae Yoo-jeong has a personal broadcast on his schedule these days. The reason I called at that time was because it was right at the end of the broadcast. It seems that the last solo rank game he played just ended later than expected. So the ending of the broadcast was automatically delayed. This was the actual situation that happened last night. If I had known this would happen, I would have waited a few more minutes and then I would have called. I regretted it later and pretended not to notice and sent him a message. [Yoo Ji-han: Haha, that’s a fun video] [Water Noona: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [Water Noona: I told u so] Shit. It doesn't work either. [Water Noona: Gyung-seok oppa doesn’t know it’s you] [Water Noona: he just sent it to ask me because he was curious about who it was] [Yoo Ji-han: I’m more surprised that Noona noticed it right away] [Yoo Ji-han: How did you know?] [Water Noona: Chae Yoo-jeong, there aren't many people he likes like thatㅋ] [Water Noona: No, not really, there’s no one else but you] [Water Noona: I’m not close with him] [Water Noona: There really is a very rough resemblance ㅋㅋ] It's a similar part. I think I know what it is even without being explained. [Water Noona: Anyway... looking at your personality, I don't think you would have reconciled with Chae Yoo-jeong because he was crying] [Water Noona: I’m glad it was resolved well] [Water Noona: please log in to Zenoris when you have time ㅋ] [Yoo Ji-han: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [Yoo Ji-han: I’ll think about it] Because I was busy preparing for a job, I couldn't access Zenoris often, so my conscience was pricked a little. Even now, I was checking the application form on my laptop at the cafe. 'If Chae Yoo-jeong starts playing Zenoris again... I guess it's done with Yoo Chae account.’ For a moment, I imagined Chae Yoo-jeong playing the character Yoo Chae. Just imagining Chae Yoo-jeong playing Zenoris comfortably and happily with me made me smile. 'It's okay.' In fact, we've never played a game together without either of us deceived or being fooled. In particular, Chae Yoo-jeong still feels uncomfortable because he deceived me. Wouldn't he feel a little better if I showed an open attitude while playing Zenoris with him? Of course, I have no intention of doing it if Chae Yoo-jeong says he doesn't like it... I think it would be okay to ask for his opinion. After organizing my thoughts, I immediately sent a message to Chae Yoo-jeong. [Yoo Ji-han: Chae Yoo-jeong] [Yoo Ji-han: When is your day off?] [Yoo Ji-han: It’s not just a short break, but... that...] … Wait, how do I explain this? Should I ask out loud when it is okay to play games other than HOL? Professional players knew that playing other games while the game was in progress was prohibited, so I was cautious about even asking questions. While I was thinking about how to say my words, Chae Yoo-jeong texted him back saying that the scrimmage was over. [Chae Yoo-jeong: Yes?] [Chae Yoo-jeong: Is that right?] [Chae Yoo-jeong: Well, if you give me a week, I can arrange a break] [Yoo Ji-han: ?] [Chae Yoo-jeong: I’ll organize the contract haha] [Yoo Ji-han: ??] What are you saying, you crazy guy? As I laughed in disbelief, new messages arrived one after another. [Chae Yoo-jeong: I’m just kidding] [Chae Yoo-jeong: I think it’s going to take a month to arrange the break without worrying about what the team thinks] [Yoo Ji-han: Is that so?] [Chae Yoo-jeong: Yes] [Chae Yoo-jeong: What’s going on?] It was good that I asked in a spirited way, but when I actually tried to get to the point, I felt a little embarrassed. After fiddling with my piercing for no reason, I started by telling him the contents of the messages I had exchanged with Kang Ji-hye. Because Chae Yoo-jeong needs to know this anyway. [Yoo Ji-han: I just got some messages from Water Noona and had a quick chat]  [Yoo Ji-han: She asked me if I had reconciled with you]  [Chae Yoo-jeong: Really?] [Yoo Ji-han: yeah] [Yoo Ji-han: I told you that it was true that we had reconciled] [Chae Yoo-jeong: Good! >_<] [Yoo Ji-han: Hmm...] [Yoo Ji-han: I heard that she wanted us to play Zenoris next time] [Yoo Ji-han: I’m busy too, so I don’t do it often, but I still do it] [Yoo Ji-han: If it’s okay with you, let’s play it together later] I was worried that I might touch Chae Yoo-jeong's trauma by saying something unnecessary. For me, it was okay because the incident was now in the past, but Chae Yoo-jeong had a more delicate personality than me and had to be managed, so I felt like I kept getting on his nerves. [Chae Yoo-jeong: Zenoris??] [Chae Yoo-jeong: Really? With me?] [Chae Yoo-jeong: I like it, I really like it] [Chae Yoo-jeong: I love playing games with Hyung!!] [Chae Yoo-jeong: (emoticon)] [Chae Yoo-jeong: (emoticon)] [Chae Yoo-jeong: I will definitely do it!!! ㅠㅅㅠ] "Oh…………….” I breathed a sigh of relief after reading the messages that seemed to explode. My tight shoulders and my anxious heart eased a little. Still, I couldn't let go of my mind at all. He might be pretending like nothing's wrong for my sake, so I'll have to meet him two nights later and see his reaction one more time. If Chae Yoo-jeong shows even the slightest sign of discomfort, I’ll quit the game. ****** HM: dang~~!!!
