30. “Ji Hyeon-woo!” His identity was revealed. Still, he tried to deny it just in case they were guessing. “I’m not him.” “It seems right. But, why the hell are you here?” “I was just walking for a while.” “When all this is happening?” Those clumsy excuses didn’t work at all. Of course, no wonder it wouldn’t work. In a situation where the people around him were aiming for me, who would go out alone calmly? Hyeon-woo slowly stepped back. As it was, he was going to deny that he went out after escaping. There were eyewitnesses, but no one would believe them. Everyone believed that Hyeon-woo had no power. At that time, a young man spoke to Hyeon-woo. “Did you say Ji Hyeon-woo?” Hyeon-woo paused for a moment at the sudden Korean phrase. “Can you speak Korean?” “A little bit.” He took something out of his pocket and threw it at Hyeon-woo. At first glance, they looked like Bluetooth earphones. When he accepted it, the man tapped his ear. Now that he was seeing clearly, he was wearing the same thing. “It’s a translation item.” He listened to the woman’s explanation and placed it in his ears. “Now I can speak comfortably.” It was translated surprisingly clearly. “By the way, are you Ji Seon-woo’s Hyung? Then, why can’t I feel any power?” That was because he was hiding it. “Are you Awakened?” “I am not obligated to tell you that.” Then the young man closed his eyes and smiled. “You are cheeky.” “It would be you who is the cheeky one.” The atmosphere seemed like it was peaceful, but it was an atmosphere where it wouldn’t be strange even if he raised a knife. “I think it’s similar to Ji Seon-woo in not trying to lose at all.” “What do you mean? That I am weaker than my brother?” In an instant, the atmosphere became tense. The only person that fidgeted in-between was the woman who had been interpreting all the time. She let out a short sigh and the young man approached Hyeon-woo. But she did not feel particularly alive, so she stood still and greeted him. “Don’t you know that the arrogance of the powerless brings only danger?” What are you saying now? Although he kept it hidden, Hyeon-woo was actually stronger. Judging by how much power he showed, the words that the young man spat out corresponded to him. “Well, when you fall into hell, then you would be doomed by fate. When that happens, it would be too late to regret it.” You’re the one in danger. Hyeon-woo put strength into his fist. He was thinking of hitting someone like this–if no one else showed up through the alleyway. “Hey. Junichi.” The new arrival was a blonde American young man. With the appearance of an angel, he naturally approached and spoke to the young man himself. “It’s nice to see you all here.” “Siegfried.” “I want you to call me by name. I have a wonderful name, Leon, so why do you call me by my last name every time?” “I don’t want to call you that.” “You’re prickly as usual. But who is this guy here?” “If you know that, what are you going to do?” Junichi was feisty the whole time, but Leon didn’t budge. He smiled and bowed to greet Hyeon-woo. “Hello? My name is Leon. May I know your name?” “Chan-young.” He felt sorry for Chan-young, but that was the only name that came to mind right away. “Chan-young. That’s a cool name. But I don’t think it’s your name, is it?” And then his eyes slowly closed with a smile. It felt like there was a halo on his head. It was a face that could attract people. However, Hyeon-woo, who had seen a lot of beauties in the underworld and in the real world, did not fall for that. “That’s right though?” “Well, if you want to be called by that name. Then, I can call you that.” When he reached out his hand, a sword blocked his way. “Do not approach any further.” “Oh my, are you jealous, Junichi?” “Didn’t I tell you not to call my name? “You can call my name instead.” “I absolutely hate it.” Leon’s body moved right after Junichi’s sharp voice sounded. Then, other Awakened entered the alleyway. They all wore the same uniform, and wore badges engraved with strange patterns on their chests. “In your positions.” “What do you mean?” He looked at their clothes without saying a word. From the clothes to the accessories they were wearing, and to their attitude were nothing short of maniacal. But nonetheless, these were America’s ‘Guardians’. They sounded like formidable opponents. “Yuki.” “Yes! I just finished calling.” As soon as the words were finished, a new group appeared. He was a member of a huge Japanese guild, the Orochi Guild. The atmosphere was getting progressively worse. Leon, who was looking at the new arrivals, suddenly turned his head and asked Hyeon-woo. “How about this? If you want, I can protect you from those dangerous people.” Weren't they both the same? Hyeon-woo frowned without realizing it. “I assure you that we’ll be more careful taking care of you.” “What a load of bullshit.” Junichi responded sarcastically, but Leon ignored him neatly. “It really is. How long will you just be protected by your younger brother? Why don’t you come over here and have a look? I’ll give you anything you want.” Leon let out a sugar-coated sound in a warm voice. But Hyeon-woo had no intention of going over there. For that reason, looking at the situation, he slowly retreated. Then he grabbed the stone he had kicked with his hind feet in his hand and threw it at the entrance of the alleyway. He was so sneaky and quick that no one noticed him. Thud! At the sudden sound, their eyes naturally turned away, and Hyeon-woo succeeded in pulling himself out of the scene. When Junichi and Leon turned their heads again, no one was there. “Ha?” Junichi looked around while holding his sword. But no sign was felt anywhere. “Yuki.” “Yes!” Being Junichi’s secretary, Yuki had sensory powers. Although she wasn’t as strong as he was, she had a great talent for finding and chasing those who were hiding. But even such Yuki couldn’t find anything. “There is no trace.” Yuki wasn’t the only one who couldn’t catch a trace. Leon was also unable to do so. “Where did he suddenly disappear?” He disappeared like a mirage. But there were too many eyewitnesses to call it a fantasy. A guild member who was good at tracking came forward and searched for him, but the result was not much different than Yuki’s. “That’s truly amazing.” Junichi left the alley as soon as he confirmed that Hyeon-woo had disappeared, and he couldn’t find any traces. After that, Yuki hurriedly followed, and the remaining guild members began to take care of the fallen. It was because they knew that knowing where they came from would be useful in many ways. “Hmm.” Leon knew that and helped the fallen man, but he did not move easily. The guild members he brought here were not the elites of the ‘Guardian’. He was just dragging those who had time to spare. On the other hand, Junichi seemed to have brought the key personnel of the guild members. The faces were familiar. “I will have to step down today.” Leon shrugged his shoulders and moved on. ‘It’s a strange feeling anyway.’ No power was palpable. If it made you look weak, then that was not the case. Instincts buried deep within him trembled every time he looked at him. He has never felt anything like this before. ‘Well, let’s wait a little longer.’ As Leon moved on, the men in uniform followed him. People’s attention was drawn to the appearance of them passing by in unique attire. “Are they cosplaying?” “No. Isn’t that the Guardian Guild’s outfit?” “The Guardian Guild is an American guild. Why are they here?” “But there is the Seon-Hyeon guild over there. Could it be that he came for some reason?” Leon caught on to the sound and smiled broadly. The pouring interest was quite surprising. Which kid would hate it, though. And that one kid, Junichi, was just getting into the car. “Yuki. How long will it take to send me the information I got from the people I caught earlier?” “I’ll finish it in one day.” “Half a day.” “Yes, I will finish it in half a day.” Only then did Junichi slowly lean back on the backrest. As soon as he saw Ji Seon-woo’s documentary, he came to Korea quickly, and was fortunate enough to see his Hyung. He didn’t believe everything on the show, but he thought he wouldn’t turn away if the content was right. ‘I was lucky.’ Aside from luck, the image of Ji Hyeon-woo was bad, though. Junichi, he hated incompetence and weakness. And Ji Seon-woo’s Hyung seemed to be a typical underdog. A leech that could not live without relying on others. I thought that there was no way he was really incompetent because he was the first-generation Awakened. I thought he was hiding his power, but he wasn’t. Then, did he survive in the Demon Realm with the help of that huge monster? ‘Is that possible?’ Junichi was also dragged into the Demon Realm. He was a second-generation Awakened. No matter how powerful a monster was, it was not an environment in which one could survive easily. There were very few edibles, and he had to risk his life to get them. The environment was barren, and the types of monsters were diverse. ‘I don’t know.’ It seemed like I had to dig a little deeper. Including what was happening in the Seon-Hyeon Guild these days. Ji Seon-woo was suddenly called abroad, and the Guild Leader of the Peace Guild, who guarded the first generation, was also called to Jeju Island. Then, suddenly, the Deputy Guild Leader of the Phoenix Guild came to the Seon-Hyeon Guild. Suspicious people were wandering around the guild. If he put all this together and connect them, something seemed to come out. ‘The more you know about the enemy, the more favorable it is.’ So he was thinking of digging into all this. On the other hand, there was a gaze watching the entire scene. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine HM: I want Hyeon-woo to beat them himself or I’ll be the one to beat them myself. Lol wwwww. And yas, Yuki is gender-neutral name. So, please…. Idk what gender it is either. It does say that she’s a woman in the last chapter. Wwww Davine: again with the gender neutral… Tbh I have absolutely no idea why Hyeon-woo's hiding his powers. Vote 'Who is your favorite character?'

32. “Ughaaaa!” The fairy, who was hanging upside down, screamed. “Save me, save me! You cannot do this! This is a breach of contract.” Although she screamed desperately, there was no one here to help the fairy. “Please let me go!” “Nope.” “Alberg-nim!” The fairy whimpered and shouted the name of the demon that laid languidly in front of her. “If you want to be released, tell me where Hyeon-woo went.” “No. No. Although the portal has been opened, it‘s still an area you can’t go to. Albert-nim can’t go!” “I decide whether to go or not.” “Ughaaaa!” The fairy fluttered even though she was tied up. ‘I’m sorry!’ However, no matter how you go on a rampage, reality did not change. My master wouldn’t care much if one or two fairies disappeared. Because there were so many fairies. Wouldn’t it be better to tell him than to suffer endless torture like this? The fairy wept. *** It was Do-jin who returned to the Seon-Hyeon Guild first. As soon as he arrived, he was greeted by Chan-young, who had dark bags under his eyes, and Hyeon-woo, who looked more comfortable than him. “I’m here.” “You’re back?” Hyeon-woo rubbed his eyes and greeted him. Seeing Hyeon-woo like this, Do-jin stopped for a moment. It was because he wasn’t used to being welcomed by someone. Ever since Ye-won disappeared, no one had welcomed me with the slightest bit of interest. “It was hard, wasn’t it?” Do-jin took a step back without realizing that Hyeon-woo was approaching him. Then, Hyeon-woo came closer. There was a grim look on his face as he approached. “Why are you running away?” Run away? I thought of running away? He had to say no, but his mouth didn’t open. “Come here. It must have been hard, so take a break.” Then, he tapped the sofa. He was drawn to the gesture and lay down on the sofa, when he put a blanket over him. Perhaps it could have been that Hyeon-woo was wearing it the whole time, that he could sense its scent in the softness. Do-jin didn’t know what expression to make. Seeing the two of them, Chan-young sighed in relief. Now that there was someone to protect Hyeon-woo, I would only have to deal with the American Guild, who occasionally came and gave trouble. ‘Things are definitely weird.’ Chan-young didn’t know if Seon-woo or Do-jin noticed. How many years had I been serving as a Deputy Guild Leader? In the meantime, the increased awareness caught the weirdness. He found it difficult to handle everything on his own. ‘Guild leader, please come back soon.’ Chan-young could only beg and pray again and again. Fortunately, a few days later, Seon-woo arrived. At the same time, the American Guilds, who had been roasting Chan-young, no longer came. Although it freed him from the horrific entertainment, it was now time to point out the questionable part. “Then you mean that no one has been by his side all this time?” Seon-woo heard from Chan-young what had happened and put his hand on his forehead. Fortunately,  Hyung was unharmed, but if anything had happened, I would have regretted it deeply. Therefore, Seon-woo’s eyes looked at Chan-young as he calmed himself down. He knew he couldn’t help it, but his heart wouldn’t let it slip. “Phoenix Guild.” If the Guardian Guild represented justice in America, the Phoenix Guild was a little different. It was more inclined to personal interest than to establish justice. Therefore, the overall image of the Guardian Guild was much better than the Phoenix Guild. “The only ones who came to visit were the Phoenix Guild, but people from the Guardian Guild and the Orochi Guild were also seen in the area.” Several prominent guilds were seen, but it was no coincidence. It was obvious they were trying to get in touch with the first generation in some way. “Is there anything else?” “I heard that the team leader also spotted another suspicious Awakened.” “Did you find out who it was?” “I haven’t figured it out yet, but my guess is they’re a domestic person.” Upon hearing that, an organization immediately came to mind. The Hunter Administration. The clues that had been separated began to come together. ‘Kim Cheol-su.’ He was the current director of the Hunter Administration. To be precise, he was a great person who could work with foreign countries for his own gain. If the dungeons in Kenya were the cause of the Phoenix Guild and the domestic dungeons by the Hunter Administration, then everything made sense. My Hyung didn’t want anything big. He just said he wanted to rest quietly. They were the ones he should be angry at for daring to try such a thing. They probably had wondered what power he had. I was originally just slightly displeased with the Hunter Administration, but now a bad feeling had arisen. ‘You have to think.’ This time it passed safely, but there was no way it would be like that in the future. So, in order to protect my Hyung, I had to be a bit more stronger. Whether it be influence or power. Seon-woo took a deep breath and pushed his feelings down. Since it was time to meet my Hyung again. “Seon-woo!” As soon as he saw Hyeon-woo running warmly, Seon-woo embraced him. “Hyung.” Since being reunited, he thought that he wouldn’t break down anymore. As they had been apart for 10 years, Seon-woo thought this brief separation would be okay, but he was mistaken. I thought I would go crazy because I missed him so much. Ignoring Do-jin, who greeted him from behind, Seon-woo enjoyed the greetings with his Hyung. He clung onto Hyeon-woo’s back, trying not to fall. “Ughoo, I’m still young.” Hyeon-woo was casually wallowing around with his younger brother, one head bigger than him. But he could only be lazy for a bit. Seon-woo had a lot of work to do. “Can’t you rest?” Even though it was sad to say, Seon-woo only shook his head. “I’m the Guild Leader. It’s necessary.” Seon-woo had no intention of leaving his position. It would be nice to hang out with his Hyung. I would be happy. But what if there was danger? Seon-woo was strong, but there were limits to what an individual could do. There were some things that could only be solved by a group of people. “I’m sorry too.” Seon-woo, who looked back at his brother’s affectionate face several times, returned to his daily life. So, the time Hyeon-woo spent with Do-jin naturally increased. “Do-jin-ssi, you said you were also a Guild Leader. Is it okay to stay here?” “It’s okay. Most of my work is handled by the Deputy Guild Leader.” Was that really okay? Then, what if the guild got stolen by the Deputy Guild Leader? Did he think too negatively of himself? Hyeon-woo laid down and stared at Do-jin. “It’s fine. I was going to give up the Guild Leader position anyway.” “Isn’t it a guild that you built up with difficulty?” “I’ve accomplished my purpose, so I don’t need it anymore.” The way he spoke seemed relentlessly cold. As he blinked at his unexpected answer, Do-jin explained further as if he had noticed him. “Even without me, the guild will run well. If it’s a path that is maintained by one person’s strength, it might be better without me.” “I don’t think so.” As I got to know Do-jin, I felt that he was a person he could rely on in many ways. And he was also a good man. I don’t know why he was saying that. At Hyeon-woo’s words, Do-jin looked down at him quietly. There was an awkward atmosphere for a moment. Well, it must be strange for a third party to intervene if he said that. Even knowing that, the words that went out were different from what he thought. “Ye-won Noona said that her oppa was a very kind person.” “A good person.” Do-jin’s expression darkened. “I don’t know. Whether I am a good person or not.” “Why?” “Ye-won was a kind and affectionate child. So I tried my best to become an oppa Ye-won wouldn’t be ashamed of.” “Then, your efforts paid off. Ye-won Noona never once said anything bad about her Oppa. He was nice, sweet, and kind.” He repeated the formula he had said many times. “She said that her Oppa’s such a perfect person.” “Did Ye-won really say that?” “Yes.” Do-jin lowered his head and covered his face with his hands. “Those are undeserved statements. To me.” His voice was no longer heard after that. And Do-jin kept his mouth shut. Hyeon-woo didn’t say any more. He just reached out and touched Do-jin’s knee as if to comfort him. *** Seon-woo was full of dissatisfaction. He returned early, and because he tried to turn down as many events in the schedule as possible, what welcomed him was a mountain of work. He felt like he wanted to be by his Hyung’s side, but there were some things they couldn’t solve without him. So, he was forced to go downstairs. Even at this time, Hyung must be with Han Do-jin. I didn’t like it, but it couldn’t helped. It was best to finish the job as soon as possible and go back to Hyung’s side. Seon-woo was busy working with that in mind, and later, the secretary announced that a guest had arrived. “Guest?” There shouldn’t be any guests coming now. Maybe the Phoenix Guild came again. Seon-woo got up from his seat and adjusted his clothes. At this opportunity, he was about to give a firm warning. However, the person who came to visit was not what Seon-woo thought he was. “Choi Moo-hyuk.” It was Choi Moo-hyuk from the Hunter Administration. “Send him up.” - Yes. Not long after that, Choi Moo-hyuk visited the Guild Leader’s room. “Hello?” “I can’t greet you right now. What are you here for?” Seon-woo reacted sensitively. It was only natural because he belonged to the Hunter Administration, which he suspected to have been behind the recent strange occurance. They weren’t on good terms either.

31. “You failed.” In the dark-coated car, the face of the man sitting next to the driver, who was holding the steering wheel, was severely distorted. “Damn it.” He clenched his teeth and let out a deep sigh. “I’m glad you failed. After all, some people were captured by Iwamoto’s side.” “Can’t you get them back?” “Like that would be easy. Although the Deputy Guild Leader is criticized for hiding behind Ji Seon-woo, he's still an S-class Awakened. He can’t be taken lightly.” “What if we just take on him?” “It’s not easy either. Not just that, why did Japan and America appear here? At least Russia was not involved, so it’s a bit of a relief?” “I was quite unlucky. By the way, is Ji Hyeon-woo the person you tracked down earlier? There would be no way for him to get out of the guild easily.” “Maybe, or he was bait if you were unlucky.” What a time it was. Awakened with strange abilities and items appeared. There could have been items that imitated faces or caused confusion. Besides, the opponent was the Seon-Hyeon Guild. They boasted enormous power and wealth, so it was likely that they would have it. “This will be difficult.” The man placed his hand on the car door handle and raised his glasses as if it was a habit. “We need to think about our next plan.” There was silence in the car for a moment. *** Within a wide communal area, huge ice flowers began to bloom. The fast-growing ice flower soon stopped growing, then shattered and scattered all over. “Kyieeek!” The ice shards shot at a frightening speed destroyed all the large-scale monsters in front. It was a lackluster ending for the triumphant crowd. “Clean it up!” When Seon-woo stepped down, Team 1 began to quickly clean up the monsters that had fallen after killing. Meanwhile, Seon-woo took out his unconnected phone and looked at it with a nervous expression. He was optimistic, but again, the electronics didn't work inside the dungeon. Kero sat next to him, clenched his front paws, and yawned. “Kyaang!” A smile appeared on Team 1’s faces, as they looked at the cute figure. But after a while, the tension began to rise again. It was because they realized that Kero was a different being than they'd seen. Because it was Kero who played an active part in meeting the mid-boss. The huge wolf-shaped mid-boss was smashed by Kero after jumping in. He had bitten its leg and ripped it off, spewing blue-white flames from his mouth, melting its body. Just by looking at him running wild like that, he seemed crazy. Seon-woo even wondered if he would have to subdue Kero. Fortunately, after dealing with the mid-boss, he got smaller again and followed him at a regular pace, but his appearance was not forgotten. “Isn’t it a bit strange, by the way?” “What?” “I know I said it was an S-class or higher dungeon, but it doesn’t feel like that.” A grade, if you pushed it. It was a dungeon like that. If it had been a higher-grade dungeon, Ji Seon-woo would not have been able to clear it this easily. And Seon-woo was also feeling the sense of incongruity they felt. ‘Strange.’ It felt like the dungeon grade was lower than he expected. Even considering that it was a country with few awakenings, the level was too low. At least three S-class saints were present, but they did not actively participate. Like a time stopper which had run out of time. “Oh, that’s great! It could have been just a rumor.” “Really. Even if we don’t touch it, it looks like we can clear the gate soon.” It was annoying to see him talking. I thought it would be more dangerous because he was desperately hanging on, but it seemed like it could have been solved if only Kero and Team 1 were deployed. Of course, dungeons were always in flux, so I wouldn’t leave them that way. Seon-woo put the phone in his arms and said. “Let’s speed up more.” “Yes!” First of all, clearing through the dungeon as quickly as possible was the top priority. *** On the other side. Every time the dagger was held in the reverse position, the monster fell down. At that sight, the other Awakened who had also entered the dungeon looked surprised. The Guild Leader of the Peace Guild. As the guild leader of a guild that stayed in the top 5 in Korea, he was expected to be somewhat strong, but this was beyond that. Han Do-jin was an Awakened with more power than people thought. “What the heck. Since when did he become so strong?” Hye-sun, who was standing in front of him, asked her own guild member with a trembling expression. “If the Guild Leader doesn’t know, how am I supposed to know?” “No—, well that’s true too.” Recalling the time where I first faced Ji Seon-woo, I don’t think Do-jin was this strong compared to him. Had Do-jin been hiding his power? Hye-sun scratched her head, then vigorously stepped forward with her feet and began to push a monster with her shield. “Hey!” If everyone hides their strength, will an honest person be able to live properly! Her desire for power grew even greater. ‘I want to be strong too.’ I want to become stronger and stronger and stand on top. For that purpose, Hye-sun was thinking of doing anything. I didn’t want to be left behind. Thud! After the monsters that were being pushed down fell, they were stabbed with the pointed part under the shield. “Let’s finish this!” Awakened were energized by Hye-sun’s shout and began to move with enthusiasm. Meanwhile, Do-jin went farther ahead. *** “Dungeon’s cleared!” After confirming that the last boss had fallen, the Awakened shouted loudly. The attack on the dungeon, which felt like it took a long time, had finally ended. As soon as the door to the outside opened, Seon-woo was the first to step outside. No sooner had Seon-woo appeared than the waiting reporters began to flash their cameras. Awakened, who wielded violence in the dungeon, were the most sensitive when they came out of the dungeon. They usually blocked access, but Seon-woo was different. Since he never showed weakness or was violent, reporters were allowed to cover his story from afar. ‘Yes, I did it.’ Today, the lights flashing everywhere were annoying. Seon-woo looked ahead with bitter eyes. I really want to turn everything off right now. There was no time to be tied down here. I have to go back to Korea and see my Hyung. Seon-woo took out his phone again. The screen is black as if it was broken when fighting with the last boss. It felt like an ominous sign, which made him more nervous. And at that moment, a loud noise broke out from the side. “Kyaoooh!” Kero, who returned to his original form, was roaring at reporters. It wasn't as full-fledged as it was when tearing off the middle boss, but the non-conscious reporters huddled together. “Monster! It’s a monster!” “Run away!” Some of the terrified fled, and the Awakened who were blocking them approached.Then Team 1 came out. “Wait, wait!” Team 1’s leader, Ain(아인), stepped forward and blocked the approaching arousal. “It’s not an enemy. No! It’s a tamed monster!” At those words, the reporters, that didn’t run away, got a twinkle in their eyes. “You mean taming?” “Did Ji Seon-woo tame it?” “No. No, it’s not him. Back away, the monster can get excited sometimes!” Ain shouted resolutely and waved his hand. A low stone wall was formed between the people and Kero. Then, little by little, people began to calm down their excitement. “Guild Leader, what should I do?” At that time, Ain sighed in relief and asked Seon-woo for his opinion. “Ignore it.” “What?” Was that really okay? There was an image that Seon-woo had maintained so far. Ain was perplexed, but soon understood. It was probably because he was worried about his Hyung that he left behind. Ain was also one of those who had cried watching his documentary. “Then I will go.” Soon, Team 1 surrounded Seon-woo. Kero returned to his small form and followed Seon-woo. “Ji Seon-woo-ssi!” Some reporters called for Seon-woo, but he neatly ignored it. “The interview will be done when I get back to Korea!” Still, the reporters continued following without listening to his words. The guild members of the Seon-Hyeon Guild, who were dispatched to Kenya, returned to Korea. *** “Dungeon’s cleared!” The dungeon in Jeju Island faced a similar situation. “Wow. No human could do that.” As soon as Hye-sun left the dungeon, she panted and sat down. It was on the easy side for a dangerous dungeon, but the pacing was problematic. Although she had to take a break in the middle to check her condition, Han Do-jin kept running wild in front of her, thus her speed increased without realizing it. That was why, after clearing the dungeon, she didn’t even have the strength to lift a finger. Hye-sun, who was an S-class Awakened, was already like this and the condition of the others was worse. Some even fainted as soon as they came out. “Then, I’ll get going now.” As soon as Do-jin came out, he reported to Hye-sun and disappeared before he could be caught. “No! If you go like this—!” Anyway, the leader was Hye-sun, a tanker, but that’s why it was difficult. “Uwghaaa!” Hye-sun screamed, and she laid down on the spot. The sky was particularly blue today. “Those monster bastards.” Ji Seon-woo and Han Do-jin were monsters. When will I be able to catch up with them? Hye-sun took a deep breath and closed her eyes. “Ah, Guild Leader! You can’t sleep in a place like this!” “I don’t care, just let me sleep a little.” And then she fell asleep with a snoring sound. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine Yaagrabrag: Hello all! I’m a new editor joining the team and I’m pretty excited. It’s my first time doing so, but I’ve read many translated web novels and I’m happy to be able to contribute back. I also can’t wait to see Hyeon-woo actually display his power for the first time.

87. ‘There’s nothing wrong with being careful.’ Thinking so, a faint voice came from behind Lena, who was crossing the lobby. “You’re unnecessarily quick-witted.” The woman slowly walked out of her window. But she looked bizarre. Her upper body was human, but her lower body was that of a beast. “A monster?” When Lena asked, the woman frowned and answered. “No, I’m not?” “You’re a monster no matter how I look at you?” “Just shut up!” Two goat-like legs spurred the ground and charged at Lena. A hammer appeared out of nowhere with a sharp sound cutting through the wind and landed on Lena. However, it was easy to dodge her first attack as she had been on high alert from her instincts. “I’m not wrong.” Lena laughed at the woman and drew her own weapon. Just in case, she looked outside and saw that the battle had already begun on that side. ‘Then I just have to do my own thing.’ Outside, there was Seon-woo, the Guild Leader. Because Lena absolutely believed in him, she decided to focus on the battle right in front of her. “Come on, come on.” When provoked by flicking her fingers, once again the beast’s legs spurred the ground and lunged. Thud! Right after Ji Seon-woo felt that something unusual was happening in the lobby of the building, something fell on top of the car. As a normal car without any extraordinary measures, it was immediately crushed on the spot and became useless. They were quite deep in the woods, so this was bothersome. Seon-woo swept his hair backwards and looked at the man who straightened up from his crouching body. “Bacardi.” “Call me Bacardi-nim. How dare you!” At the same time, the hard floor melted, and a familiar barrier encircled the surroundings. “You’re not alone.” “Fighting is done alone. This is just because I was afraid you would run away.” “Isn’t that person familiar? What did you just say your name was? Bacardi?” “That person is the Guild Leader of the Phoenix Guild!” His whole body was taut with tension. Even so, they prepared for the situation without collapsing in the slightest. The opponent was Bacardi, but they had Ji Seon-woo, the best Awakened in Korea. They didn’t think Seon-woo would lose to Bacardi. “No, there you go again. Because today my goal is you. The other kids will deal with your lackeys.” As soon as the words came, several people suddenly appeared, and their appearances were strange. It was as if people and monsters were mixed together. The guild members of the Seon-Hyeon Guild immediately started fighting with them. The only ones who were relaxed right now were Bacardi and Seon-woo. “What do you mean by I’m the target?” “You’re Ji Hyeon-woo’s younger brother, Ji Seon-woo.” Seon-woo blinked slowly. And soon he understood the whole situation. Since Bacardi couldn’t beat his Hyung one-on-one, he conspired to hold him hostage. “Hmm.” He had a different feeling. He never thought he would be treated like this because of his strong Hyung. It felt good to hold his Hyung in high esteem, but he did not wish for himself to be underestimated. “Then let’s fight!” Bacardi jumped from the top of his car and lunged at Seon-woo like a wild boar on fire. Even though the floor had turned into a swamp, they didn’t seem to care at all. Ppak! As he snapped his fingers, the swamp froze, grabbing Bacardi’s leg. “This much is nothing!” The ice shattered with a thud sound. However, Seon-woo was already preparing for the next attack. The water droplets that floated in the air rotated like crazy and were shot at Bacardi’s body. With a sound like a hammer hitting his leather drum, Bacardi’s flesh dented here and there, but he didn’t stop charging. Seon-woo turned and evaded, but Bacardi easily caught up with him despite his large body. Attack, dodge. As time passed, the two realized one thing. At this rate, they wouldn’t know when the battle would end. It was because they both matched in skills. Bacardi, who had been pounding the ice wall with his fist like crazy, stopped in place at some point. His hands, which had been bloodied by his sharp ice, were quickly restored. “Well, I predicted this much. It’s surprising, but I have to admit it. You are strong. Although you’re worse than Ji Hyeon-woo.” “I’m not happy to be praised by someone who’s trying to play dirty.” “It’s mean. That’s one way. And this is one way.” Bacardi took something from his bosom and gulped it down. At first glance, it looked like a pill. “Aaaaaaargh!” With the shout, Bacardi’s body swelled increasingly. Then, the copper-colored skin began to turn darker and darker. Red and blue veins thickened and stood out like the traces of a snake crawling over his skin, and several horns sprouted from the top of his head. “He’s a monster.” “Monster, huh! Haha, this feels good.” Bacardi, who now had a grotesque look, jumped up from his position laughing. The huge, swollen body grew faster. “Now for the second round.” Before he could finish his words, Bacardi disappeared. It wasn’t that he suddenly got more powers. He just sped up so fast he couldn’t even follow it. As soon as he realized that Seon-woo spread the water droplets around him. And he found out where Bacardi was through the quiver of the water droplets. Now, he was right behind Seon-woo. “Guild Leader!” The guild members who were fighting while away shouted with surprised expressions. Seon-woo immediately used ice to build a wall behind him and poured out attacks on Bacardi. However, he had moved to another place before he knew it. “Good, good. That’s it!” With an ecstatic expression on his face, Bacardi stretched out his hand. “Cough!” The one caught in that hand was Lena. After fighting the woman in the lobby and winning, she aimed for Bacardi’s back. “You shouldn’t interfere with the fight, huh? I gave you the perfect match for the first time in a long time.” Seon-woo stopped dodging and immediately started attacking Bacardi. Countless drops of water and pieces of ice floated in the air and aimed at Bacardi, but they were forced to stop. It was because he put Lena in front of him. “It’s not fun if you do this.” Bacardi grumbled and threw Lena away. She immediately tried to get back up, but soon she was forced to freeze on the spot. It was because of someone else standing in her way. “Come on, you want to watch it with me too?” A black-haired woman appeared before she knew it and smirked as she looked down at Lena. “Don’t interfere.” “Look. If it takes too long, I might have to intervene.” Tiamat ran her fingers through her long hair. In fact, she really wanted to intervene. And she wanted to tear Ji Seon-woo’s limbs apart, torture him, and see blood. No, if that didn’t work, even others were not enough. The sharp pupils of the eyes flashed strangely. ‘I want to see blood.’ She was told that she could see a lot of blood, so she stuck to this side, but she couldn’t fight as much as she thought. Because of that, she changed a lot of people under her as a way to vent her anger, but that wasn’t enough. She wanted to fight a stronger human. While not even thinking about attacking Hyeon-woo, she longed for a powerful opponent. It was overly contradictory. Excluding non-standard monsters like Ji Hyeon-woo. “Tiamat-nim.” Kai called Tiamat’s name. “I know, I know. When I am patient, I know how to be patient.” Tiamat swallowed her saliva and narrowed her eyes. In the meantime, Bacardi was driving Ji Seon-woo into a corner. Bacardi, who constantly received demon energy and took medicine to make himself more powerful, was demonstrating superpowers that were more than twice his original strength. So there was no way Ji Seon-woo would win. ‘If the end is fixed anyway, wouldn’t it be better to just get rid of him quickly and take him away?’ ‘Why do you have to fight?’ Tiamat bit her lip due to the surging desire. “Laugh!” Ji Seon-woo was a strong Awakened, but there was a limit to his power. And that limit seemed to be approaching. The rain of water and ice that had been pouring incessantly was dwindling. In the meantime, all other guild members of the Seon-Hyeon Guild had collapsed. Some died, some seriously injured. And the end of the battle was slowly approaching. *** Hyeon-woo frowned as he watched the silently moving hands of the clock. “Seon-woo’s late.” “Maybe he’s busy with work?” “But he said he would come in the evening.” “Is it six o’clock now?” Ga-jun replied in a ridiculous tone. “It’s six o’clock.” “I thought Ji Seon-woo was the only bro-com, but this one isn’t easy either.” Glancing at Ga-jun saying that, Hyeon-woo drew his leg and held him in his arms. That pushed Alberg, who was about to lie down with his head on his thigh, away, but he didn’t care. “Are you nervous?” “Unn. I have a bad feeling.” “Hmm.” “First of all, Do-jin Hyung said he would ask Elisha.” At that time, Hyeon-woo, who felt a presence at the door, jumped up from his seat. “Do-jin Hyung!” “Hyeon-woo-ya.” “Did you ask?” When he approached with quick steps and asked, Do-jin answered with a puzzled expression. “I did ask.” “What did she say?” “They lost contact 30 minutes ago. They seem to be checking the situation, but it seems that neither the phone nor the walkie-talkie works.” When he heard Do-jin’s words, his heart sank.

86. Amber went back and the party was joined by a few Awakened. Among them, there was someone who could use telepathy, so that if Bacardi appeared, the person could quickly contact the headquarters. And the most outstanding among them was Elisha, an A-Class Awakened. She had an ability related to earth, which became stronger when in contact with soil. ‘Um, how did this happen?’ At first, she stood guard outside her door, but halfway through, she came inside and sat on the couch. “It’s going to be hard if you keep guarding it.” It was because of Ji Hyeon-woo’s recommendation. She refused several times at first, but when she was told to have a cup of tea, she eventually accepted. ‘That’s Ji Seon-woo.’ Ji Seon-woo, the younger brother of Ji Hyeon-woo, was originally a famous Awakened. He was born in a small country and obtained power as strong as that of the Awakened in America. He hadn’t been an adult for a long time, but he didn’t look like that from the outside. He was a great person. “Get out of the way.” Ji Seon-woo, who politely handed Elisha a cup of tea, said coldly, looking down at the boy lying on the sofa opposite. “Why me?” “That is where I sit.” “Where’s the owner of the seat?” “I am here.” It was Alberg, a boy who appeared to be in his late teens. Alberg was close to Ji Hyeon-woo, lying on his thigh. ‘Is it because they’re the same age, that they talk informally too?’ She heard that most people only used honorifics, but there seemed to be exceptions. Elisha held the teacup at an angle and glanced at them secretly. Ji Seon-woo, who had been talking at first, was now grabbing Alberg’s hair and pulling it. She wondered if it was too much, but even in that situation, Alberg was standing firm and holding on. Moreover, seeing that none of them were agitated, it seemed like this was the case from time to time. “Just get out of the way.” Ji Hyeon-woo slapped Alberg on the forehead with the palm of his hand. “No! Why do I have to get out of the way every time?” “That’s because you always occupy that position.” “The sofa over there is empty too!” “There’s no Hyung there.” Ji Seon-woo said that with a calm face and pulled Alberg’s hair again. “Hmph! Even so, it’s useless. Even a single strand of hair on my body is strong.” She almost burst out laughing. No matter how mature he looked, Ji Seon-woo was still young. That was why they fought like that. As Elisha suppressed her laughter, Do Ga-jun, who was sitting on the other sofa next to her, spoke to her. “Isn’t that funny?” “No, it’s not.” Do Ga-jun smiled and leaned on the sofa. “Get out of the way quickly!” “I don’t want to! Sit on the armrest of the sofa!” Ji Seon-woo’s expression showed grumpiness. And just as he was about to do something more, the door to the outside opened and Han Do-jin stepped inside. He was holding a large paper bag in his arm as if he had gone out to buy something for a while. The Awakened who had accompanied him seemed to have parted ways outside the door. “Hyeon-woo, I bought some tteokbokki.” “Hyung!” Ji Hyeon-woo left Alberg and Ji Seon-woo, who were scrambling, and stood up. ‘Like a dog, chasing the chicken.’ [1] Recalling the only Eastern proverb she knew, Elisha put down her teacup. “How did you get it?” “I went to Koreatown. It’s still warm. Do you want to eat now?” “Uh-huh!” “Okay. Then I’ll set the table. Who is that?” “Ah, she’s the Awakened that Amber said she’d send.” “My name is Elisha.” “Nice to meet you.” “Likewise.” Like Ji Seon-woo, this one was also quite cool. No, on the contrary, she liked this one more than she did with people that didn’t give off a youthful feeling. Despite being an Asian, he had a tall, muscular body with attractive black eyes. ‘But from what I heard; he’s also infatuated with Ji Hyeon-woo.’ When you see handsome men hanging out with each other, it gives off a mysterious charm. “Would you like to join us?” “No. It’s fine. Tea’s enough for me.” “Alright.” Han Do-jin did not ask twice. He immediately served tteokbokki and sundaes at the table, and his party sat down to eat. “Spicy!” When Alberg got annoyed, Ji Hyeon-woo put down a water cup in front of him. “Feed me.” He tried to act cute with his purple eyes sparkling, but he was soon blocked by Ji Seon-woo. “I’ll feed you.” “No thanks!” While the two resumed their squabbling, Han Do-jin dipped tteokbokki with a fork and put it in Ji Hyeon-woo’s mouth. “How is it? Delicious?” “It’s delicious.” “Thank god.” Just by looking at what they were doing, they were already lovers. They were a really fun couple. At least she wasn’t bored here. After the meal, Elisha went out again. She said it was because she was more comfortable keeping watch. After that, Seon-woo prepared to go out too. “Where?” “It’s guild work. Now that I have some free time, I’m going to do what I was going to do when I came to New York.” “Shall I go with you too?” “Do you want to?” Seon-woo was at a loss for a moment, but he made up his mind. “No, come to think of it, I will be fine. I’ll be back soon, Hyung, wait here.” It seemed like it would be quite difficult because he came with him. It was already revealed that Hyeon-woo was strong, but Seon-woo was used to protecting him. Because of that, he tried not to make Hyeon-woo move when it came to challenging work. “Then be careful.” “Yes, I’ll be back. Hyung.” Seon-woo glared at Alberg once before leaving the room. Outside, several guild members from the Seon-Hyeon Guild, who had been dispatched to New York, were waiting. “Hello!” Among them, Lena, the team leader of Team 2, waved her hand with a lively expression. Chan-young also wanted to come, but there was no Guild Leader at the Headquarters. So Lena came in place of the Deputy Guild Leader. Before she awakened, she had studied quite a bit, so she played her part well when she coordinated work with other guilds. “Long time no see.” “I know. After hearing about the incident in New York, we thought we should have moved together and regretted it. I’m glad it ended well.” “Then shall we go?” “Yes!” Elisha, who was waiting for them, brought in another mental ability Awakened. “Just in case.” That was how the Seon-Hyeon Guild people left the hotel and moved their busy steps. “I have a lot of work to do today. I’m going to stop by the Guardian Guild first and then the Blacksmith Guild in America. They recently succeeded in making a new weapon using monster materials, and I have elevated expectations.” Lena chatted on and followed the briefing on what to do. It wasn’t until she was done with her work that she asked about the Awakened that had been following Ji Seon-woo. “By the way, who is that person following you?” “This is the person who was given to us by the United States for safety.” “He doesn’t look particularly strong.” “He’s a mental ability awakened.” “Aah.” It was ruthless. No matter how understaffed they were, they had to send them someone like that? Lena, who had heard about Seon-woo and his company’s activities in Korea, pursed her lips. Then, she suddenly realized one thing. “I heard that the portal has been cleaned up, but are we in danger?” The Phoenix Guild’s betrayal and Bacardi’s capture were known to the public, but Bacardi’s escape was still undisclosed information. For that reason, Lena didn’t know much about that part either. “Not really.” He’d like to explain everything, but right now someone from the American side was still with them. Elisha and Amber said they were escorts, but Seon-woo didn’t believe them all. “Is there something you can’t tell right now?” Lena was quick to notice. “Yes.” “Then I’ll wait for you to tell me.” For now, Lena decided to move on. Afterwards, they stopped by the Guardian Guild to meet Leon and solidify the agreement between the guilds, and then headed to the Blacksmith Guild located on the outskirts. “Still, it’s good for the fuss.” Lena looked out of the window and said. “Because I put a lot of effort into it.” “I see. What’s the real world going to be like? I’m worried.” After that, Lena shut her mouth. The car drove on in silence for a while. “I don’t know why the Blacksmith guild is located on the outskirts of here.” The road was rough and the car shook. It wasn’t until after they had been driving for a while that he began to see the blacksmith’s guild building in the distance. “We’ve arrived!” It was exceptionally large for a building built in a place where it was difficult for people to enter and exit. And she didn’t see anyone walking around. She had a bad feeling. Because of that, Lena went ahead and entered the building. “Welcome.” The woman at the information desk greeted Lena with a smile. She was a normal looking person from all angles. ‘Was I worried for nothing?’ Lena, scratching her head at her embarrassment, told her. “It’s the Seon-Hyeon Guild, who was scheduled to visit today.” “It has been confirmed. Go up to the third floor.” The confirmation came quickly. Still, it was the Blacksmith Guild Headquarters, could the confirmation be done so easily? That was what Lena thought. Lena tapped her true weapon on her waist with her finger. ‘Come to think of it, wouldn’t they tell us to leave our weapons?’ The Guardian Guild could be trusted, but this was different. It was the first meeting today, and the other person was a guild member from another country. But was it so defenseless? ‘The blacksmith guild of the United States is also connected to the government.’ That meant that there were a government-related Awakened among those guarding this place. Lena tilted her head and turned around. “Guild leader~” She guessed they should talk more.

85. ‘It’s here.’ Tiamat, who had been swimming in the sea, jumped up. Her target was a ship directly above her. They must have sensed her presence, hurriedly maneuvering to evade, but it was already too late. Thud! The boat rocked loudly with a roar. Then, Kai, who was waiting opposite her, bumped his body once more and drew attention. “It’s a monster!” A shout was heard, and people’s eyes were drawn to it. In the meantime, Tiamat transformed into a human and climbed onto her stomach. “Let’s see the location.” Just sinking the ship and killing everyone would solve the problem. She wondered if she should make this more complicated by doing that, but what should she do? She needed to be quiet until she got what she needed. As long as the riots in New York had subsided and the Awakened gathered again, there were plenty of ways to recruit people from the other side, even in the middle of the sea. ‘Let’s get the item first.’ It was the item that was currently restraining Bacardi. [Hero’s Chain (Unique)] Constrains one targeted target, rendering it unable to exert its power. It was once used to catch a dragon. That was the needed item. She was also looking for Bacardi, who was on the same side as she was. She was wondering if she could save the weak human and use it somewhere. When Tiamat arrived at the previously delivered location, she saw a large door. In addition, another human waiting for her greeted her. “You’re an intruder, after all.” The man who was reading a small book looked at Tiamat with a tense expression. No matter how restrained he was, the other was Bacardi, who was strong on the human axis. There could not be no watchmen. “Well, it’s kinda like that.” Tiamat pulled out her nails and pounced on the watchmen. He drew his weapon and fought desperately but was unable to defeat her. He eventually lost his mind when his arm holding his weapon was cut off. “Oops!” Tiamat, who was obsessed with blood, came to her senses belatedly. It wasn’t difficult for her to open the sealed door. Items were also used on the door, but the level was low. After violently tearing it off, she saw Bacardi tied in chains. “Have you come to save me?” Bacardi asked, raising his head. “Yeah.” “Then quickly release me from the chains. It’s annoying.” He was pretty weak for something she could catch. Tiamat waved her hand in annoyance. Her sharp claws cut through the flesh and ripped off the chain that was digging into it. Blood flowed from his weakened body, but neither Bacardi nor Tiamat paid any attention. “At last!” Bacardi, now free, jumped up and shouted. “I won’t lose this time! I’ll avenge you!” Meanwhile, Tiamat grabbed the chain and looked at Bacardi with pitiful eyes. She heard that he was beaten one-sidedly by Hyeon-woo. How was he going to get revenge? As if feeling the gaze, Bacardi smiled, showing his teeth. “I have good strength that can suppress weak things. But sometimes strength isn’t the only thing.” “Ooh?” He looked ignorant on the outside, but his head seems to be working quite fine. “Ji Seon-woo, I’m after him.” “Is he strong too?” “Sure, but he’s not as good as Hyeon-woo.” It was the right decision. Would this make the story interesting? Tiamat licked her lips with her tongue. Thud! Then the boat rocked again. “We must leave now.” “What about the other people?” “On the signboard.” “Can I kill them all?” “I’ve got what I wanted.” Now they could kill. Even if reinforcements arrived, there was plenty of time to bounce before that. Tiamat shrugged, and Bacardi burst into a frenzy. “Then I’ll go ahead first.” Bacardi broke through the ceiling and disappeared upward. And before long, screams took over the place of the sound of the sea breeze. “He’s strange for a human.” Didn’t normal humans care about their own people? But seeing that he didn’t, she wondered if he was similar to herself. Anyway, hearing the scream made her hungry for blood. Tiamat raised the corners of her mouth as she looked at the fallen watchmen, lost in her mind. *** “There’s trouble! Bacardi, he escaped!” It wasn’t long before news of Bacardi’s escape reached Leon as well. “Escaped?” “Yes! Periodic contact from the ship did not come, so we dispatched some people, but it was already late.” All that was left there were fragments and bodies of wrecked ships floating on the sea. Leon pressed his head gently with his hand. “That’s my fault. We should have sent more escorts.” He regretted sending only one boat without anyone knowing. “But there’s no time for regrets.” Leon had to think of other issues than that. A boat that had been secretly launched was attacked. That meant that confidential information had leaked somewhere, and that perhaps the traitor might still be around. It wasn’t just Leon who noticed him. Amber, who had brought the information, already knew that. “Why–” Amber let out a complaint. “–Why is he betraying his humanity? Doing such a terrible thing in a situation where even if we join forces, it won’t be enough!” “Amber.” “Leon-nim, I don’t understand.” “I’m having the same thought as you. Still, we have to move. For the sake of others who are still there.” “Yes, it is. I got too worked up.” Biting her lips, Amber calmed her emotions. “That’s alright” “What about Bacardi’s escape?” “I feel like I should let some people know. If it’s Bacardi I know, he would do something dangerous.” ‘I’ll pay back as much as I have suffered.’ Bacardi lived by those words. As such, there was a considerable risk that he would seek out and retaliate against those who had done this to him. “Should I inform Ji Hyeon-woo?” “Yes, please let him know.” Leon said firmly. *** After a while, Hyeon-woo, who was still staying at a hotel in New York, was greeted by a familiar guest. “Hello.” Amber greeted Seon-woo politely. “Amber? What’s going on here?” “I stopped by with some urgent.” “Please come in first.” Seon-woo took Amber inside. The party that occupied the top floor was lazily spread out. Hyeon-woo was sitting on the sofa and watching the TV blankly and Do-jin and a boy named Alberg were sitting next to him. In fact, he didn’t know that Amber would come, but before she came, Seon-woo was also in the middle of them. Ga-jun was sitting on the other sofa to his left, his hands busy with a tablet and papers spread out on the table. “Amber?” “Hello, Ji Hyun-woo-ssi.” “What brings you here?” Amber felt guilty when she saw Hyeon-woo asking back with her eyes wide open. She received so much help, and yet she endangered his benefactor. She should have been more careful. “I’m sorry!” Amber bent down. “Amber?” “Bacardi has escaped.” “What?” “What?” Startled voices came out. “Everything is our fault. For now, we are tracking Bacardi’s whereabouts, but the investigation is delayed because the place where the incident took place is the sea. We discovered someone else’s intervention in the middle, but we don’t know who it is.” Amber took a deep breath and continued. “Bacardi is an evil person. He might even try to retaliate against Ji Hyeon-woo-ssi. I really have nothing to say.” “Are there any countermeasures?” When Seon-woo asked, Amber slowly released what she had thought of beforehand. “I’m thinking of assigning an escort to you for now. It’s just in time, most of the Awakened have returned, and now New York is in order.” In fact, there were not enough people yet. However, they could not tell the truth to those who had been harmed because of them. That was why Amber was thinking of recruiting manpower to protect them. “It will be difficult to add a lot right now, but we’ll gradually increase it.” “Do you have the manpower to do that?” “It’s possible.” Amber answered, hiding her feelings. “It’s a lie.” Alberg threw a word at Amber. “That person is lying.” “Are you saying I’m lying?” “Yes.” It was an embarrassing situation for Amber. It was true that it was a lie, but the person who pointed it out was a young boy. He was known to be a tamer-type ability, but did he also have mental abilities? Even so, Amber had a strong mental barrier. Most psychics could not read Amber’s thoughts. While hesitating, Hyeon-woo spoke up. “Isn’t it difficult to assign a lot of escorts?” “Tha-that’s.” Amber stuttered for the first time. “Then it’s okay if you stick it to a minimum.” It was a little annoying, but there was no danger. First of all, Ga-jun, who has the weakest power among them, was one of the most prominent Awakened in Korea. Not to mention Do-jin and Seon-woo. Although Alberg was also weak, he was unimaginably strong even under such circumstances. What about Spotty, Kero, and Two-eyed? They were monsters who cannot lose even if they want to lose. “But I can’t do that. You are in danger because of us.” “What do you mean danger? Of course, I just had to help.” “Ji Hyeon-woo-ssi.” Amber’s eyes twinkled. How could there be such a good person?

[Guild] I’m Sleepy: oh I think that’s right [Guild] Yoo Chae: You have to do a forsaken raid for that [Guild] Yoo Chae: After reading and ignoring the chat [Guild] Yoo Chae: He asked me to find a ring... [Guild] Yoo Chae: Hyung, this rabbit-like wife is crying. [Guild] I’m Sleepy: So you don’t want to be together? [Guild] Yoo Chae: If you say you won’t just read the chat and ignore it in the future, I’ll find it..ㅇㅅㅇ [Guild] TheHunter: That’s the location [Guild] TheHunter: I know where it is [Guild] TheHunter: Can I help you?ㅋㅋ [Guild] Harn: ㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Harn: I know that ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Drink some water: me tooㅋ [Guild] Mocha Bread: me tooㅋㅋ [Guild] I’m Sleepy: haha tk [Guild] Yoo Chae: Fuck [Guild] Yoo Chae: Get lost, bastards [Guild] I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] TheHunter: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ As if reading the messages was quite a blow, Yoo Chae’s plan to get a reply by using the quest as a hostage was blocked by the guild members. Yoo Chae, who hastily created the party recruitment window, grabbed my character, and grimaced. [All] Yoo Chae: come to the party soon Hyung [All] Yoo Chae: Go do it with me [All] I’m Sleepy: u said u won’t do it [All] Yoo Chae: I was just kidding [All] Yoo Chae: Oh, hurry up ㅡㅡ He urged me desperately, not sure if he was worried that I would really go on a quest with someone else. I was thinking of teasing him more because he was cute, but when I got really angry, I was the only one bothered, so I went into the party. [Guild] TheHunter: Phew, in the end, the two of them are going together [Guild] Harn: just to be abandoned like this again?.. [Guild] Crazy Hunting Friend: This is why couples shouldn’t be on the side [Guild] Mocha Bread: I agree [Guild] I’m getting lazy: Wasn’t Hunter taking charge? [Guild] TheHunter: ? [Guild] Manaolingnam: crazy Staric-nim, they’re having a fling [Guild] TheHunter: ? [Guild] TheHunter: Sue them [Guild] Bright Clouds: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Let’s do this: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Drink some water: Suing all of a sudden ㅋㅋㅋ Yoo Chae used the movement scroll, and the surrounding scenery changed quickly. I watched the entire thing before asking him. [Party] I’m Sleepy: Do you want to do a discord call? [Party] Yoo Chae: Gasp [Party] Yoo Chae: Yeah [Party] Yoo Chae: I want to [Party] I’m Sleepy: let’s go The voice call came right away. Putting on the headset and pressing the call accept button, I heard a familiar voice. “Hello, hello.” “Yeah.” Yoo Chae’s voice made me feel happy because I asked him to do a discord call first. However, when I started the call because I had a different ulterior motive, it felt rather uncomfortable to me. “Are you starting the quest right away? Did you get the quest?” “I got it last time. You can go collect them.” “Yes.” After answering simply, I compared the voices of Chae Yoo-jung and Yoo Chae. Even though they definitely sound alike... It wasn’t exactly on the same level. Depending on the condition or sound quality of the microphone used while playing the game, there is a possibility that it will differ from the actual voice. Or maybe the two are really different people. ‘I’d like to call Chae Yoo-jung right now, but...…………..’ Even that doesn’t provide clear evidence. If Yoo-chae and Chae Yoo-jung turned out not to be the same person, there’s a possibility that I wouldn’t be able to accept it. After that, when the game is over and a reasonable amount of time has passed, I will then excuse myself and reason that I’ll be busy. Thinking that far ahead, I swallowed a sigh that rose to the bottom of my lungs. What am I doing right now against the kid who excitedly ran to help me? If Yoo-chae and Chae Yoo-jung are different people, and if I could just be misunderstanding... Isn’t it very rude to think this way right now? If someone else confuses me with someone else and raises these suspicions, I think I’ll feel upset. “Then let’s start from the Northern region. I think I’ll just have to go around it in a clockwise direction.” “I don’t care.” “Ah, that’s right, Hyung! Look at this.” With a ‘Pop’ and ‘Swish,’ Yoo Chae summoned a pet I hadn’t seen before. It was a large, round and concave-eyed bird called ‘Popoko,’ and it was one of the few pets that could carry two people for a ride at once. “Isn’t it cute? I bought a new one to use so that Hyung and I can use it during the quests.” Yoo Chae went to the side of the pet and jumped up and down. Thanks to that, my conscience hurt even more intensely. “Good job.......” “Let’s ride this!” “Yeah……” I replied in a withered voice and started to circumnavigate the continent on the Popoko with Yoo Chae. Like a popular pet, Popoko let out a cute cry and flew up at high speed. “...K-kim Yoo-chae.” “What?” After staring at the monitor and thinking for a long time, I finally opened my mouth. “Are you playing any other games?” “Another game?” “What, like Hero? What games did you play before Zenoris?” “Just this and that.” There was no significant change in Yoo Chae’s voice when answering the question. Not getting the response I wanted, I asked again. “You don’t want to play Hero?” “Well. I’m not playing right now. It’s fun playing Zenoris with Hyung.” “Have you ever tried it?” “I played it for a brief time in the past, but I gave up quickly because I liked the nurturing game better. Is Hyung good? I think I asked that last time.” This time, too, I couldn’t find the slightest wave of emotion in Yoo Chae. His reply, which came naturally and softly, without hesitation, made me question myself like, ‘What the hell are you doing?.’ The thought floated around and seemed to be laughing at my expense. “No, me too… I stopped playing it after quitting it.” “Is it so? It’s better to play Zenoris with me, right? Ah, we have arrived. Go talk to the NPC standing alone over there and he will give you a ring.” “Ugh.” Moving the mouse mechanically, I placed my other hand on my forehead. As I lowered my head, a moan of lamentation came out. ‘Fuck, I’m going to die of embarrassment.’ At this point, I was confused as to whether I was alone in a strange delusion. Kim Dae-seok, who knew the situation because I asked for advice, also said that the two could not be the same person, so in the end it was only me who was the problem. At the same time, I felt guilty that I couldn’t bear to admit it to Yoo Chae, and a slight heat rose on my face. “I have to meet Chae Yoo-jung one more time tomorrow.” What do I do? I’m doomed.

84. After confirming Alberg’s harmlessness, they returned to the headquarters — Leon called them. “Welcome. I should have visited in person, but I’m sorry I couldn’t.” “No. You must be busy.” “Still, it doesn’t mean that people who have received grace could come and go.” Leon said with a soft smile. It was great to see Bacardi running around and trying to make up for the missing spot. The justice he put forward in the guild he had built up, and the way he tried to protect people was admirable. “It’s okay. But what’s going on?” At Seon-woo’s question, Leon took out a tablet and held it. “This is a video that’s circulating around on the Internet.” The beginning begins between the broken buildings. The screen shook as if the owner holding the device was frightened. Then came the sound of whispering. 『We have arrived. There’s a Guardian Guild building around here, so it should be safe for now.』 Then thump! A sound was heard, and the screen spun. 『Did you see that? He just jumped off a tall building! Oh my god!』 After that, the screen remained still and began to show the two men jumping off the building. One could definitely identify who it was. 『It’s the Bacardi of the Phoenix Guild.』 A mumbling voice is heard again. 『But who is the other person?』 The face was not clearly visible. However, one thing was certain. He was stronger than Bacardi. Because Bacardi was being beaten the whole time. The video cut off there. Seon-woo parted his lips, which had been tightly closed the entire time he watched the video. “It’s Bacardi and Hyung.” “Yes, the Phoenix Guild’s betrayal has not been officially announced yet. This is due to concerns that this situation could cause further confusion. But as this video was released, rumors are spreading.” A bitterness crept across Leon’s lips. “I wonder if there is something wrong with the Phoenix Guild. Besides, Ji Hyeon-woo-ssi’s face is blurry, but some people recognize him.” It was a difficult story for Hyeon-woo in many ways. “Ji Seon-woo. I don’t know why Ji Hyeon-woo-ssi tried to hide his power. But I know he’ll be in trouble if the information about that power is known.” He went through tough times in both Korea and the United States. What was needed in the process was an Awakened with strong power. If Hyeon-woo’s powers were revealed, criticism could come out as to why he hadn’t put forth all his might in the meantime. “Hyung always did his best to hunt monsters.” Even when Seon-woo stopped him, he didn’t rest until the monster was defeated. But to think that he might be criticized for hiding his power. “We also tried our best to retrieve the footage. Although the recovery was successful, it has already spread too much.” No matter how great the Guardian Guild was, it was impossible to block all the videos that had already spread. “For now, we plan to make an official announcement about Bacardi in a few days.” “Is that so?” “If we ever need help, we will always actively step forward. Ji Hyeon-woo-ssi is a hero in our country.” “Thank you.” That was how the conversation ended. *** “Human beings are truly incomprehensible.” Alberg, who had heard Seon-woo’s words, spoke. “He was just hiding his power. What’s the problem with that? That doesn’t mean he neglected what he had to do. Isn’t he a strong person hiding in this world?” “There’s nothing like that. But he doesn’t like outside attention, so he doesn’t show himself as much as he hides it. Things will be more different with Hyeon-woo.” Ga-jun answered Alberg’s words. “It’s complicated.” “Anyway. So what are you going to do now?” “We have to think about it from now on.” Seon-woo, Do-jin, and Hyeon-woo put their heads together and exchanged opinions. But no matter how hard they tried; they couldn’t think of a good way. Time was just passing. “How about this?” Alberg, who had eaten all the cookies, intervened between them. “What do you mean?” Seon-woo looked at Alberg with a disapproving expression. He was no different from Do-jin. “It happens occasionally in the Demon Realm. There are cases where those who originally had no power, or those who were sealed, awaken, and exert their power.” “Aha! I think I know.” “Wouldn’t it be fine to say that Hyeon-woo is also in that situation?” “That sounds plausible.” In the meantime, Seon-woo wrapped around Hyeon-woo so that he could see it from outside. It was already a famous story among the people that escorts were attached whenever they went out. “I think it’s okay to say that you awakened your strength in earnest, after coming to America.” The heads gathered and the story began to form. “Aren’t you so cool? It’s like a hero gimmick.” Even Ga-jun stepped in and filled in the empty parts of the story with excitement. It was really nice to see the problem being resolved, but a sudden awakening of power. Hyeon-woo dried his face with both hands. “At the moment of crisis, the power obtained from the Demon Realm burst out again!” “Alright. Not a bad option.” “It certainly suits Hyeon-woo.” He was so embarrassed. He was going crazy. As he twisted his body, not knowing what to do, Alberg, who had been sitting on the other side of the sofa, slipped into his seat next to Hyeon-woo. “Hyeon-woo, I came up with all of this.” Then he looked at Hyeon-woo with sparkling eyes. He had a face that wanted something. “So what do you want?” “How about a kiss?” He didn’t think there would be any reluctance to kiss him because of his pretty face, but he didn’t like it. “I don’t want to.” “Why?” “What do you mean why?” “Am I not quite beautiful?” In the Demon Realm, there were also demons who suffered from love sickness after seeing Alberg and died. “You usually say that with your own mouth.” “It’s to my own advantage. So, why can’t I tell you?” Alberg pouted with his lips. Since he was young, it seemed that even his actions were following him. And Seon-woo and Do-jin found them. “What are you doing?” “Hyeon-woo, come here.” Do-jin approached Hyeon-woo, picked him up, and seated him somewhere else. Alberg also got up and followed Hyeon-woo. “Didn’t Hyeon-woo hate it?” “What Hyeon-woo said he didn’t like was a kiss. He never said no to anything else.” Despite sharp words, Alberg answered calmly. He was really confident when he said nasty things. “And aren’t you really crossing the line? You’re not Hyeon-woo’s partner. It’s too much.” “What do you mean by crossing the line. As someone who likes Hyeon-woo, I just did what I had to do.” The two shared a cold gaze for a while. The atmosphere became stern, as if they were going to strike at any moment. “I didn’t like you from the first time I saw you.” “I have the same opinion.” “I wish I could kill him.” “Can’t you just kill him?” “Every time. But Hyeon-woo doesn’t like it, so I’m putting up with it.” In this situation, Seon-woo supported Do-jin. He didn’t particularly like Do-jin either, but at least it was better than Alberg, who was completely out of control. ‘It would be nice if they both died in a fight.’ While he was thinking about it, Hyeon-woo intervened and stopped the two of them. “Stop it!” His face was red. “Oh, come to think of it.” Ga-jun slammed his palm with his fist. Now, Do-jin openly expressed his feelings for Hyeon-woo. That was why Hyeon-woo was like that too. ‘Somehow, he was very obsessed with Hyeon-woo.’ He roughly guessed it but hearing it himself was different again. And he felt weird. Why were they so drawn to hang out by Hyeon-woo when they don’t lack anything? Come to think of it, even Ga-jun had eyes for him from the beginning. It was fun when we were together, and when they couldn’t see each other, his body would get itchy so he would break through the overprotectiveness and chase after him. No one had ever put so much effort into this. ‘My taste was soft, voluptuous women.’ Ga-jun looked at Hyeon-woo with a new gaze. He was thin for his small stature. His face was quite pretty, but there were other women that were prettier than he knew too. He couldn’t figure out why. But that meant… ‘Isn’t it already too much to be picky about your taste?’ This was how he felt from the moment he fought Do-jin to stay attached to Hyeon-woo in the first place. Ga-jun took a deep breath and exhaled. “Me too, Hyeon-woo, I like you.” He made up his mind and uttered the words, but what came back were several bloody glances. “Haha, Do Ga-jun-ssi, are you crazy?” He used honorifics, but his tone was brutal. And the temperature in the room was gradually dropping. “It looks like he went crazy for a while.” The shadows beneath his feet began to sway. No, everyone confessed all the same, but he didn’t know why Do-jin only did this to him. “I’m fine!” “No. I think I’m going crazy from overwork.” Seon-woo said firmly. Still, Hyeon-woo looked at him wondering if he would understand his feelings, but that expectation was soon broken. “Stop joking.” At the same time, he was looking at Ga-jun with pity, but it does not appear that he had taken what he just said seriously. “Why, why don’t you believe me!” “Think about your credibility.” Do-jin stabbed him in the chest with a neat tone. Still, he was the guild leader of the Baekho Guild, which was quite well known in Korea, but he was being treated very poorly. Ga-jun locked himself in a corner and put on a gloomy expression. *** At that time, Bacardi was leaving the land under strict surveillance. To be imprisoned on a small island on the other side of the sea, a prison dedicated to the Awakened. “Isn’t the weather unusual?” “The weather forecast was good.” A few sailors aboard the ship chatted and glanced under the signboard. “By the way, I still can’t believe that Bacardi is in prison.” “That’s right. Why did he betray the United States, refusing so much power and wealth?” The answer came back quickly to the questionable words. “Isn’t it power?” “Isn’t he strong enough already?” “Desire only grows, never diminishes, as you can see.” “It’s a philosophical statement.” Meanwhile, the ship was moving forward rapidly. Without knowing what the future held.

83. “Or have you heard any stories?” He hadn’t heard any stories from him. After returning from the Demon Realm, his Hyung did not tell Seon-woo anything. So Seon-woo also didn’t ask his older brother. He closed his eyes and covered his ears, not wanting to relive his Hyung’s past suffering, having experienced the harshness of the Demon Realm himself. As for his Hyung, he struggled to get through the painful days. He thought it was something he should have done, but on the other hand, he also felt a bit regretful. In fact, he thought he should have listened to more stories even if he dug them up. That was why Alberg’s words turned Seon-woo’s insides upside down. Seon-woo gritted his teeth without even realizing it. “Stop it.” Hyeon-woo sighed and stepped forward. “I didn’t do anything.” Alberg said so, but he didn’t let go. “You provoked my brother.” “I was a little mean. They don’t act as if anything has happened just because they are of only one bloodline.” “He’s not only that. He’s my precious little brother.” “I know. That’s why I was only a little mean.” Indeed, demons have cruel hearts. He and Alberg were no different. “You can’t do that.” “Alright. I’ll put up with it.” Alberg decided to take a step back at Hyeon-woo’s words. He came all the way to the other world to meet him, but he felt bad because something that bothered him was next to him. Among humans, it was impossible for people of the same lineage to become partners, even though they were younger siblings. Who was the man who was standing beside Hyeon-woo, looking at him as if on high alert? “Is that part of your bloodline too?” “Who? Do-jin Hyung? No, not this one.” “Then.” “No. Do-jin Hyung is also a precious person to me.” Alberg grumbled at Hyeon-woo’s words. “You have too many precious people.” “It’s just a few.” “Isn’t it two?” “That’s usually said to be few.” As the two of them were having a conversation, Ga-jun interjected. “Am I not included in the precious person?” “Do you want to be included?” Hyeon-woo looked at Ga-jun with eyes filled with disgust. Seeing him do this even after being beaten up like that, he was not normal either. “It would be nice to be included.” “Wake up from that dream.” “Aha, then that means this one is nothing.” Alberg narrowly opened his eyes and looked at Ga-jun. “No venting your anger out. Don’t kill anyone I know. No, just don’t touch anyone.” “I think that would be a bit difficult.” “If you don’t like it, don’t.” Instead, he himself would no longer deal with Alberg. Hyeon-woo looked at him with his arms crossed. “I get it. In the end, whoever likes more loses.” “No, that’s what I mean.” Hyeon-woo raised his eyebrows and asked. “You said you liked me?” “Yeah. That’s why I visited so often.” “You fought every time you came.” “It was a light greeting.” “Really?” Although full of energy, Alberg’s words were true. If he had tried to fight in earnest, Hyeon-woo would not have survived intact every time. He was the person who liked him, so he was fine with it because he controlled his strength to some extent. “Okay. Let’s just say it is.” “Let’s say so. It’s an important story.” “It doesn’t matter because I have no intention of becoming your partner.” “Why!” Alberg looked at Hyeon-woo with a disappointed expression. “On the contrary, why do you think I will become your partner?” “That’s right. Courtship without consent is only violence.” Do-jin chimed in from the side. “We got along well though.” “No, we didn’t? I don’t like fighting very much.” “What do you like then?” “I like taking a nap in peace.” “I like that too.” At Alberg’s words, Do-jin also opened his mouth. “I like it too.” “Hyung, I like taking naps too.” “A nap? That’s nice.” In addition, Seon-woo and Ga-jun also added their words. Seon-woo said yes, but why did Ga-jun intervene? Hyeon-woo waved his hand at him. “Be quiet over there.” “Why am I being scolded here?” Ga-jun spat out a nonsensical sound, but he neatly ignored it. “Enough with the partner stuff and tell me how you came here.” “If you wish so.” Alberg shrugged his shoulders and continued with what he was talking about earlier. In the Demon Realm after Hyeon-woo disappeared, Alberg, mad with longing, ran rampant like a mad demon. Due to the nature of demons, it was fine if there were only one or two crazy people. The story would be different if the person who ran wild was the number one in the Demon Realm. As the situation was like that, the fairy also quietly disappeared. Hyeon-woo, the last remaining person, was also sent back to his original world, and the contract with Demon Realm was concluded, so she had returned to the Fantasy Realm. “Haa.” Since even the fairy with the talent to connect worlds disappeared, there was only one way left: Opening a portal using sacrifices and magic. The only problem was that Alberg did not know the coordinates of the world where Hyeon-woo was. Because of that, Alberg spent every day full of sorrow. “It seems like a useless story up to that point.” Hyeon-woo, who was listening to the story, clicked his tongue. “Listen more.” One day, Alberg, who was rampaging as usual, found an open portal under an old tree located deep in the dark forest. “Alberg-nim?” Standing in front of him was Kania, the 8th ranked demon. “This is something else!” Blocking her portal, Kania struggled to somehow block Alberg’s approach, but she couldn’t. Eventually, she was thrown away with her leg broken, and Alberg stood in front of the portal. “Where does this portal connect to?” Kania clamped her mouth shut. “If you don’t want to talk, you don’t have to. After all, what remains is time.” Alberg tortured Kania on the spot. Both her mother and her father were high-ranking demons, so she, who was strong from an immature age, was not resistant to pain. Thanks to that, he was able to figure out the identity of the portal shortly after. “Earth, a portal to the Earth!” “Earth.” The world Hyeon-woo lived in. He often uttered the word Earth. Immediately he tried to push his body through the portal, but to no avail. The power the portal allowed him was too small. Cania would have been able to pass through, but for Alberg, it was impossible. He was strong, so he couldn’t go to meet the person he wanted. It was absurd. Still, Alberg did not give up. And he had a belated realization. ‘Can I reduce it if it overflows?’ Now, the passage to the other world was blocked, but it was said that there was a time in the past when entry and exit was free. At that time, the demons divided their powers and left them in the Demon Realm to go to another world. It’s a kind of alter ego. “Can I do that too?” It was a strange story. “Usually, the shared power is hidden and protected. But I didn’t have to. Even if you share it, you won’t lose to other demons. And by sharing power in this way, we can keep our existence unnoticed by the inhabitants of the world outside of the Middle Realm.” It would be a headache if the fairies or angels found out about this. Alberg said confidently. “So, for now.” Hyeon-woo’s words were followed by Do-jin. “Someone opened a portal on Earth.” Hyeon-woo received those words again. “Alberg came over instead of the demons that were originally going to come over.” “Somehow I feel bad.” Alberg looked at him with a dissatisfied expression. “Is it easy to open such a portal?” “It depends on the existence that had to be passed over. It’s difficult to create a portal through which I can pass through.” “Then, how did you?” “You need some sacrifices equivalent to the person.” “So…. some demons were sacrificed?” “No, from Earth.” “So they killed some humans?” “How many?” Alberg raised his finger and said with a smirk. “At least 10,000 people.” “What if the person who opened the portal had strong magic? So, about a dragon?” “Then it falls to a thousand.” His head hurt. If that was true, he didn’t know when Tiamat would try to summon the demons again. Of course, he knew that killing a thousand people in the city center was not easy. Mana was also not something that could be drawn indefinitely. But what if the massacre started in another country at war, not in the city center? If you make a new portal with it. Could he stop that? “Can’t you stop it?” “By killing the person who opened the portal?” “No. First of all, you had the highest rank in the Demon Realm.” “I’ll have to listen to you if you tell me, but well. Wouldn’t it be impossible if the beliefs were different? Besides, I don’t think Cania is the ringleader. So it’ll be a higher-level demon. In the Demon Realm, there are demons who live without stepping forward even though they have the ability.” In the past, there was a demon king designated by demons in the Demon Realm. The demons obeyed God’s will and followed him. However, during the war with the Celestial Realm, both the demon king and the celestial king died, and as a result, the gods also fell asleep, and no more kings were born. A new order had arisen. “That’s right. I heard such a story from a fairy.” He didn’t even think about it right away because he was in a hurry. “But if you want, I can do anything.” Alberg approached Hyeon-woo and held his hand. And while he was careless, he put his lips on it. Do-jin freaked out and grabbed Hyeon-woo’s hand, but it was already too late. Alberg looked at Do-jin with a smile. However, what was contained in the finely folded purple eyes was an obvious murderous intent. ‘It’s annoying, but I can’t kill him.’ Because Hyeon-woo said no. That was his complaint, but he had no intention of going against his word right now. ‘Because becoming your partner is the priority.’ So he just laughed.

82. “Hyeon-woo, Hyeon-woo!” Alberg, a handsome boy with an enchanting appearance, hugged Hyeon-woo tightly and rubbed his face against his chest. That sight was very lovely, but since he knew the other person’s reality, he pushed it away. “Why don’t you get away from me?” “I don’t want to!” Alberg put strength into his arm as he embraced Hyeon-woo. There was no sign of falling. “Wow, what a beauty. You will become prettier when you grow up.” Next to him, Ga-jun whistled without knowing the thoughts of others. ‘Strange.’ Although he only chased after him, he had rarely tried to engage in skin ship like this. Was there a change of heart during the time when they couldn’t meet? Hyeon-woo let out a small sigh. “Get away, Get away and let’s talk.” “Can I just stay like this?” “I’m uncomfortable.” “Really? Shall I change my posture then?” Alberg turned around and hugged Hyeon-woo from behind. Now that he was shorter than he was, his appearance was delicate. ‘It’s uncomfortable in the front or back!’ Demons often act impulsively. That was why he was trying hard not to provoke him, but gradually his original personality came out. Hyeon-woo pulled Alberg’s long flowing hair. “What did I just say?” “I didn’t hear.” Said the one who could hear the ants crawling in the distance. What couldn’t he hear? Hyeon-woo’s fingers got stuck in front of his stomach and he forcefully removed his white fingers one by one. Alberg laughed lightly, mischievously. And that exploded the jealousy of the others who were watching all along. “Little boy-nim.” The one who came out first was Seon-woo. With the title he called him, he felt the will to scratch the inside of the opponent. Originally, teenage boys did not like to look young. “Didn’t you learn that you shouldn’t do something that the other person doesn’t like?” “I didn’t learn.” Alberg answered naturally. Then, he focused on playing finger games with Hyeon-woo again. “Then learn now.” Seon-woo pulled Alberg by the nape of his neck. It looked slim on the outside, but when he actually touched it, his body felt heavy. In addition, the killing intent felt the moment he grabbed the scruff of the neck was something even Seon-woo, who had fought against monsters for a long time, could not handle. Puk! At that moment, Hyeon-woo turned around and hit Alberg on the head mercilessly. “Why, why are you hitting me!” “Are you asking because you don’t know? Don’t touch my brother. If you do, I’ll kill you.” Hyeon-woo growled and warned Alberg. “The one who touched first is over there!” “Who cares, The moment you touch my brother, you die, and I live.” “Huu.” Alberg also knew that Hyeon-woo had a younger brother. And he also knew that, unlike the demons, those of the same bloodline are affectionate to each other when it came to humans. So, the moment he knew that he was Hyeon-woo’s younger brother, he gave up his intention to harm Seon-woo, but the resentment was different. He couldn’t help but become sulky. “Is your brother that important?” “Of course.” “More than me?” “Naturally, of course.” For the first time since Alberg was born, he felt sad. He was born a child of a strong demon tribe, swallowed his parents, and obtained strong power. That was why no one ignored him, but Hyeon-woo was different. “Okay. I won’t mess with your brother. I swear by my name.” Then, as he sneakily held his hand, he stayed still while frowning. It was said that he would allow this much in exchange for not harming his brother. Just in case, he tried to hug him again like before, but he moved his body to avoid it. He promised to put his name on it, but only one hand was allowed. Alberg touched Hyeon-woo’s hand with his head bowed. “Also!” Seon-woo tried to intervene this time as well, but Hyeon-woo stopped him. “Leave it.” “But Hyung.” Seon-woo glared at Alberg with disapproval. He didn’t like him at all. “Hyeon-woo-ya.” In such a situation, Do-jin’s calm voice was heard. “Do you know each other?” “Yes.” “Here? Or somewhere else?” This question was said so low that only Hyeon-woo could understand it. Apparently, Do-jin noticed that Alberg was not human. His behavior was also strange, and his strength was too strong for a teenage boy, so it was doubtful. Besides, because of this incident, he learned that demons could cross over to another world. Hyeon-woo blinked slowly. And with that action alone, Do-jin understood everything. “Looks like you two know each other.” Misha, who was looking at the encounter between the two, clapped her hands and intervened. “Yes, we know each other.” “Then…” Misha glanced at Alberg and asked Hyeon-woo. “Do you need any help?” He didn’t seem normal. Hyeon-woo’s party helped a lot even though they were Awakened people from another country. That was why they wanted to repay them as much as they could on this side. It wasn’t easy to get a psychiatrist in the current situation, but if necessary they would do it. “No. It’s okay. He’s a bit of a daydreamer.’ Not a little bit. Misha swallowed back the words that rose up in her throat. “Please let me know if you need any help later.” “Of course. Thank you for your consideration.” “No. We are more grateful. I’m holding you too much. Rest then.” Misha smiled and withdrew. “Let’s go somewhere else.” As soon as he confirmed that Misha was far away, Hyeon-woo brought out his words. “Where?” “Outside, if possible, a place where there are no people would be good.” “I saw a place like that a while ago. Let’s go because I remember the location. How are you going to go?” “By using Spotty.” A quick conversation took place between Do-jin and Hyeon-woo. At that point, Seon-woo and Ga-jun also seemed to have noticed something strange. Ga-jun clicked his tongue and said. “Anyway, not even one day will pass peacefully.” “Hyung, I’m going too.” “Okay. Let’s go together.” “What about me?” Ga-jun then asked. “Come if you want to follow me.” “I want to go.” The body that wandered around demanded a break, but it could not overcome curiosity. So the four went up to the roof. Spotty, who was taking a break, found them, and got up. “Kirrrk.” “Nice to meet you. Black Drake. Is that the kid you took with you?” “Yes.” Hyeon-woo answered briefly and put Alberg on Drake’s back. Then, noticing his identity, Spotty trembled briefly. “Are you okay? I wouldn’t hurt you.” “Kiruk.” Hyeon-woo then climbed up behind him. Seon-woo and Do-jin looked at it disapprovingly, but this was the safest. Like that, Spotty, carrying five people including Alberg flew to a deserted place on the outskirts of the city. “This should be good enough.” Hyeon-woo, who made Spotty land, jumped down. “You come down too, Alberg.” “Alberg? Your name’s Alberg? That’s unusual.” When Ga-jun spoke, Alberg replied calmly. “My real name is longer.” “What is it?” “It’s a name I can’t tell anyone.” Alberg looked at Ga-jun with an arrogant expression, then looked away. “Hyeon-woo, I missed you. Didn’t you miss me?” “No, I didn’t miss you.” If you compare life in the Demon Realm, this place was heaven. There was no way he would miss a place where only terrible memories remained. “Is that so? That’s too bad.” Because Alberg enjoyed the days he spent with Hyeon-woo, he missed the days that passed. “Rather than that, Alberg. How are you here?” Hyeon-woo asked. “Hmm. Are you curious?” “I’m curious. The fairy said you couldn’t come to this world.” “Did the fairy say that?” “Yes.” Alberg closed his eyes and smiled. “You’re honest. That’s why I like you.” He flirted as easily as breathing. Hyeon-woo was the only one who didn’t know. “I don’t like you.” “I agree.” It had been a while since Seon-woo and Do-jin agreed. “Then, since there will be people who don’t know me, let me introduce myself again. My name is Alberg. I’m a demon of the highest position in the Demon Realm.” “You mean a demon came over?” Ga-jun clicked his tongue as if he was full of energy. “Yes. I’m a demon. Originally, people like you would not dare to speak so casually but rejoice. I’ll give you special permission.” And the person he pointed to was Seon-woo. “You’ve become a special person?” Seon-woo’s expression twisted as Ga-jun teased him. “I’m not happy at all.” It was because he knew why demons appeared like that. “What’s your relationship with my Hyung?” Do-jin listened to Seon-woo’s question. “We will become partners in the future.” Alberg answered confidently. “It’s not true!” Hyeon-woo hurriedly intervened, denying Alberg’s answer. “When were we like that!” Wasn’t it just bumping into each other and exchanging news from time to time? He couldn’t understand why the word ‘partners’ came out. “It’ll be like that from now on. While you were gone, I realized my heart. Yes. I was in love with you!” “It’s an illusion!” “No. There can be no illusions. Because now that I met you, my heart that had been dead the whole time is beating violently. Look.” Alberg grabbed Hyeon-woo’s hand and placed it on his chest. Then, the thumping of his heart was transmitted through his palm, and he removed his hand in surprise. “Isn’t that how it’s supposed to run normally?” Because demons might be different from humans. “No.” He was going crazy. Things took a strange turn, and his head was hurting. “Who’s your partner!” Seon-woo, who had been patient till now, exploded again. “Hyeon-woo, your younger brother seems to have a strange personality.” “It’s the other way around. My Hyung is no one’s partner.” “That’s something you don’t know. Don’t you know your Hyung went to the Demon Realm?” Alberg continued his words as if he were threatening.
