76. Kai stopped engaging with Ash and held his hand out. At the same time, the floor began to melt. The Hydra race's special skill was to turn a certain area into a swamp. It prevented people from stepping on the floor and teased their opponents with their unique persistent regenerative power. 'The first time I had to use this ability was when I dealt with that monster.' It was then that Kai tasted an impending sense of defeat for the first time in a while. 'It’s gonna be okay.' It wasn't that he wanted to beat Hyeon-woo. He was just buying time. He would have to fight with all of his abilities. Kai made up his mind and cast off his human form. Gu-oh-oh-oh! Hydra, a nine-headed monster, roared. "Wow." Ga-jun whistled. The floor turned into a swamp, but no one was troubled. Seon-woo froze the floor with his unique ability and Do-jin stepped on a shadow while hugging Hyeon-woo. The hardest hit were the monsters. Some of the flightless monsters sank as if they were being dragged into a swamp and howled, but Kai didn't care about them at all. “Isn’t this a disadvantage to me?” Standing at the end of the leaning lamppost, Ga-jun grumbled, but that was all. He, too, had the ability to prepare for such a situation. He even snatched and rescued John, who was about to sink into the swamp. The problem was that the monster right in front of him was formidable. That too was quickly resolved. "I'll handle it. Are you fine with that?" Two-eyed stepped forward and asked Hyeon-woo for his consent. And as soon as he nodded, he returned to his original form. His neck lengthened, and his pillar-like legs stretched out. The spread wings were huge enough to cover the body, instantly darkening the area. As the gigantic dragon stretched, its black scales shimmered. In terms of size alone, the dragon was a bit bigger than the Hydra. “Come at me; I’ve been wanting to fight you.” Kai shouted loudly and took his step forward. As a monster that originally lived in a swamp, its movements were natural. On the other hand, Two-eyed was shaking his feet as if they were in trouble. He should have been flying in the first place, but he didn't seem to care. "Well, it doesn't matter." Two-eyed grinned and confronted Kai, who rushed forward. His gigantic body writhed violently with a loud cry to subdue his opponent. He bit with sharp teeth and struck down with his hard tail. Each time he spurted blood with a roar. “This is unrealistic.” It felt like watching a giant monster series that was popular in the past. “But is that alright?” Two huge bodies collided with each other, destroying nearby buildings as well. Two-eyed, who had been thoroughly educated, seemed to take caution, but Kai was merciless. "It can’t be helped, right?" Saying that, Seon-woo moved his gaze to Ash, who was far away. He was looking this way as if he felt his gaze. “Yeah." “Are you not from the Phoenix Guild? Is this a betrayal at the guild level?" “I can’t say with my own mouth.” "Then I'll have to make you open your mouth." Seon-woo, who moved as if sliding across the frozen swamp, immediately approached Ash. "That’s good. I wanted to fight you too!” Ash smiled as he raised both of his hands. Then, an invisible pressure pressed on Seon-woo's body. 'Gravity increase!' It wasn't hard to get back up, but he couldn't move quickly. It was surprisingly strong. Even so, Seon-woo seemed to handle the gravity attack the best out of all the people Ash had ever fought. “You are strong.” “You are strong too. What did you sacrifice for that? Ash smiled and waved his hand for the next attack. But Seon-woo wasn't particularly nervous. The opponent was strong but it wasn't that he wasn’t also strong. Besides, he wasn't alone. Ga-jun, who had gone back before he knew it, stretched out his poison-stained hand and pressed Ash's back. He managed to dodge it by car, but Seon-woo dug in the gap created by that. The ice pick rotated and surrounded Ash, and a shadow that appeared before he knew it bounded him. “Wow, so cheap!” “Originally, when dealing with villains, it’s a fight for justice!” Ga-jun grinned and grabbed Ash's arm as he desperately blocked the ice pick. Once he made skin contact, the poison spread quickly. "That’s mean!" Ash shook his head like an angry man, then looked up. In a matter of seconds, his body had become a wreck. But he had a few hidden trump cards. Suddenly, the shadow holding Ash felt strong pressure. His body swelled, more than doubling in size, and his skin turned gray. Then, his shiny forehead cracked, and his horns began to grow through the cracks. "I guess he wasn't human either?" Ga-jun stepped back and said calmly. “This has become a more serious matter.” If the monsters could change their form like Kai or Ash, it wouldn't be difficult to sneak into the city. And that was pretty dangerous news for people. "Let's just grab it and see." “That would be better.” Seon-woo and Ga-jun stepped forward again. “I’ll kill them all!” “That's what I’m going to say.” Seon-woo clashed with Ash again, and Ga-jun began to creep into the gap. “Can I help?” "It's hot." He was getting a strange feeling. What should he call this feeling? Hyeon-woo stood there blankly and looked at Do-jin's back. “Now I’m ready!” Tiamat stood in front of a huge magic circle. She didn't even break a sweat as she imitated the behavior of someone she had seen and watched recently. However, the facial expression was awkward and not appropriate for the situation. “Then next time!” Tiamat smiled cheerfully, looked back, and tapped her forehead with her hand. "Right. There’s no one to help.” Tiamat had killed everyone upon entering this space. Among them were allies, but she didn't care. People were worth that little to her. “Then I’ll do it alone.” A huge magic circle was drawn in front of Tiamat, who looked at her again. And on top of that, there was an offering for summoning the portal. "Because it's really fun." The being that summoned himself here was a demon, and the being he would summon now was also a demon. If the summoning was successful, the high-ranking demons on Earth would become two. Three if you included Tiamat. ‘I had a dream.’ 'What was it?' She wasn't particularly curious, but she asked politely. It was a demon's dream. Obviously, it was to become strong and oppress the weak, conquer the world, or get wet with blood. However, the answer that came back was unexpected. 'It's to make the demons live in an affluent environment.' “What for?” At the truly unexpected answer, Tiamat looked at him with her eyes wide open 'Well, I just want to do it. Why can’t I?” He was a weird guy. Tiamat thought so. 'The Demon Realm is like a barren tree. To be honest, it is not an environment suitable for life. That's why I want the earth.' He said so. ‘He's a really eccentric guy.’ After completing all preparations, Tiamat began infusing magic into the magic circle. It was possible because she was a dragon born with tremendous magical power. A magic circle imbued with magical power glowed and a small dot appeared in the air. The dot whirled and grew bigger and bigger until it filled the huge cavity. “Okay then, come over.” Tiamat whispered into the portal. How much time had passed since then? A white hand protruded from the center of the portal. 'It takes a long time.' While grumbling, she poured out her magic power. Perhaps thanks to that effort, a body was slowly but steadily coming out of the portal. “Why the hell is it taking so long?” Tiamat would have been higher in rank had it not been for madness. Because she was like that, she secretly had a mind to look down on other demons above her. She was curious about which of the demons had such a presence. And finally, the demon sticks its head out. At the same time, Tiamat realized that things had gone wrong. "No way." The magic circle was quickly disenchanted, but the portal did not close immediately. It was closing as slowly as it took to open. And in the meantime, the demon's body was steadily coming out. "It can’t be!" It wasn't the demon she was trying to call. Tiamat hurriedly returned to her main body and prepared to release her breath. The only thing left to do was to destroy the portal. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine, YaagRabRag HM: Tiamat is a girl, Ash is a gender-neutral name and is also a demon. Demons probably don’t emphasis on Gender stuff, like Humans do, which makes sense, since all they care about is destroying things. lol Davine: Forgive my dizziness.

74. For Bacardi, it was crazy and insane. However, there was not a single person on his side in this space now. Besides, now Leon, the Guardian Guild Leader, was involved. No matter how much he was called a mad boar, he could not move recklessly anymore. “Just you wait and see. It won’t end like this next time.” As Bacardi was dragged away, uttering villainous lines, Leon clicked his tongue as he looked at him. He worked so hard to be nominated for the president of the association, but eventually, ruined everything with his own hands. Displeasure surged, but Leon did not forget what he had to do. He approached Hyeon-woo and lowered his head. “I’m sorry.” “No. It was someone else’s fault.” Hyeon-woo waved his hand and smiled, but Leon did not raise his head easily. “You came here with difficulty, but you went through unpleasant things, didn’t you? I’m also responsible for that.” The people around him admired Leon’s upright appearance. “Yes, that’s right. As expected, Leon-nim from the Guardian Guild.” Praises came out naturally. Although he already knew it, he was a man of great reputation. It meant that this kind of person secretly came and seduced him. That was how great the dragon’s value seemed to be. “I don’t know if this will be a reward, but I’ll prepare a compensation plan. Take a look and choose the one you like. Or you can present it first. You can wait, so think slowly. Also, I’m sorry, but I want at least one person to stay as we need to testify on the victim’s side.” Hyeon-woo was of course excluded, and the remaining were Seon-woo, Do-jin, and Ga-jun. However, Seon-woo and Do-jin were still competing on who would be Hyeon-woo’s ride, so Ga-jun stepped up, resigned in his battle with luck. “I’ll stay.” It seemed that if he held out even longer because he didn’t want to go, it would only lead to disgracing his country. “Thank you.” “No. Then, Ji Hyeon-woo, I’ll be back, so solve that first.” Ga-jun pointed to the two stubborn men and left with Leon. That was how everything was resolved, but the surrounding spectators didn’t budge – there was another spectacle. “Who will the tamer choose?” “That’s right. Didn’t he look more confident?” “But the left side isn’t easy either. There’s not that much difference. Anyways, isn’t the one on the left his real brother?” “Brother? Oh my god. Is the younger brother trying to carry his older brother? Does such a sibling exist?” The bystander exclaimed in amazement. “My younger brother would kill me if I asked him to carry me!” “I don’t think even I would want to carry a pig like you.” “No, no! That’s how a brother should be is what I meant!” Even in the midst of the commotion, Seon-woo calmly called for Hyeon-woo. “Hyung. Hyeon-woo Hyung.” As soon as he heard that voice, his body leaned towards Seon-woo. How could he turn away from such a cute little boy? Of course, he should definitely let him give him a piggyback ride. The shame was Hyeon-woo’s fault, but he was able to handle it well enough. As soon as he felt Hyeon-woo’s body lean toward him, the corner of Seon-woo’s mouth went up. ‘It’s my win!’ He thought so and looked at Do-jin with a mocking face, but he was also a formidable person. “Hyeon-woo.” Do-jin, who started talking in a low voice, began to persuade Hyeon-woo. “Ji Seon-woo fought just before. Wouldn’t he be tired?” Seon-woo looked at Do-jin with a distorted expression. It was heartbreaking to see them fighting together and then trying to get their own way. He didn’t think he was such a great man at first, but he got more and more sly. “I see.” Hyeon-woo’s body, which was heading toward Seon-woo, returned to its original position. “I’m fine. It didn’t take much effort.” “No. Aren’t your legs shaking?” Do-jin looked at his intact legs and made a look of concern. Then, hesitantly, Hyeon-woo’s body leaned toward Do-jin. ‘That sly fox bastard!’ His teeth started to grind automatically. To think that Do-jin was taking advantage of his brother’s worry about him. A thousand lights soared within. He wanted to get up right away and fight Do-jin, but he couldn’t. His Hyung was watching. “Hyeon-woo-ya.” “Hyung!” The two earnestly called for Hyeon-woo. At this point, Hyeon-woo couldn’t hold out any longer. He began to feel threatened that he had to make a choice. Because the number of people around them was increasing. Hyeon-woo took a deep breath and lightly tapped Seon-woo on the back. “Hyung!” The moment he liked it, wondering if he had chosen himself, Hyeon-woo, who had returned to the front, grabbed Seon-woo’s hand and raised him up. After that, he went to Do-jin and did the same. “I can walk, so let’s just go.” “But!” “But.” “If you keep doing this, I’ll go alone.” That was Hyeon-woo’s conclusion. He wasn’t hurt in the first place, so he didn’t even need to be lifted up. Seeing Hyeon-woo like that, Seon-woo and Do-jin looked at each other. It was brief, but it wasn’t difficult to confirm each other’s intentions. “Then we’ll take turns carrying you on our backs.” “That would be great.” Then, before Hyeon-woo could say anything, Seon-woo picked him up and carried him on his back. “Seon-woo-ya!” He was embarrassed and called out his name, but pretended not to hear and took a step forward. After that, Do-jin, a once-again small Kero, Spotty and Two-eyed followed closely. ‘I’m ashamed of this too!’ The two faithfully kept their word. They took turns walking with Hyeon-woo on their back until they returned to their lodgings. At least it was fine when he was carried by Seon-woo, but when he was carried by Do-jin, it was hard to hide his agitation. Strangely, his heart kept beating, and his face was red as though in pain. All of that said only one thing, but Hyeon-woo, who had been living in the Demon Realm for a long time, couldn’t figure out what it was. *** Bacardi has been stripped of his position as president of the association. For that reason, a new voting date was set, and the time spent in the United States was extended. “This is all thanks to my flamboyant speech.” Ga-jun, who came back belatedly, shrugged his shoulders. “By the way, America isn’t as bad as I thought, is it? Shall I punish Bacardi properly? I wanted to, but he did it for me.” “I think that’s great.” “Right?” Ga-jun answered Seon-woo’s words and quietly sat down on the sofa. Do-jin’s gaze touched him. “What? Why? What?” “Isn’t there a separate lodging?” “Ah, it’s uncomfortable there, so I’m going to move here.” Ga-jun turned his gaze and looked at Hyeon-woo. However, Hyeon-woo, who was dull in this respect, only made an expression asking why. He seemed to be expecting something. Ga-jun sighed deeply and spoke to Seon-woo and Do-jin. “Please cut me some slack. I did all this work for you.” He had never lived with regrets anywhere, but that’s not the case here. ‘Like I would even regret anything.’ As a result of some rubbing, he was allowed to stay in the same hostel. He felt embarrassed that he had to ask permission for this, but what should he do? The law is far, and the fist is near. “By the way – Leon. When I actually talked to him, he was really nice.” “Isn’t that why you decided to pick him?” Besides being an American ally, he himself stood up for justice. The pledges announced before the votes were not bad, and the character seemed to have improved. Russia’s Pedro was also a great person, but it didn’t seem like it would be easy to surpass Leon. “That’s right.” Ga-jun meekly agreed. “What do you want for dinner? Shall we go out to eat? Shall we eat inside?” “We don’t have plans to have dinner together.” “Calm down!” Seon-woo was dealing with Ga-jun, who was talking nonsense, when suddenly a loud sound came from somewhere. Ppiiiik! The four jumped to their feet at the familiar tone resonating through the city. “A portal has opened.” This sound urged citizens to evacuate when an unprepared portal opened. “Is it Ouroboros?” “It may be so.” “Wow, that would be surprising if that were true. Opening a portal at the place where all the Awakened are gathered to vote for the president of the association?” “Hasn’t it been like that before?” When he pulled the curtains and looked out the window, the street was noisy. “Are you going to intervene?” “When a request for help comes in, we have to move.” He wanted to run away right away, but this was a foreign country. First of all, he couldn’t move freely. “For now, let’s wait.” “Alright. Then let’s watch some TV.” The moment the portal opened; all broadcasts changed to disaster broadcasts. So he turned it on to understand the situation, but something was strange. The screen on which the news should be broadcasted turned black. A silver circle was drawn in the center of the black screen, and a snake’s head was in the center. 『Hello. This is Ouroboros.』 A cheerful voice that did not match the logo greeted them. “It looks like the broadcast was hijacked?” Ga-jun smiled dejectedly. Meanwhile, the cheerful voice continued to speak. 『This time, I’m making my debut through a broadcast instead of a newspaper. Before getting into the full story, I would like to explain the purpose of Ouroboros.』 The content was like this. 『The world has changed. Monsters appeared, and the Awakened appeared to stop them. They risked their lives to stop monsters and protect people. Was the return for their work reasonable? I don’t think so. One might say, ‘If you are an Awakened person, you can earn a lot of money and hold power.’ But that’s just a small part of what an Awakened should have.』 So said the cheerful voice. 『Awakened people should have more.』 Support on Kofi: Chapter 75 Chapter 76, 77, 78, 79, 80 Chapter 81, 82 ,83, 84, 85 ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine, YaagRabRag Davine: At least HW was smart about his choices.

72. Do-jin put his hand on his heart. His heart raced like crazy at the feeling he found out belatedly. He had always thought of him as being like his younger sister. He thought it was why he looked lovely no matter what he did. The reason he was offended by Ga-jun was that his younger brother had pests attached to him. He thought so and tried to keep them apart, but it wasn’t all. ‘Why didn’t I know until now.’ After realizing it, the world looked different to the extent that it was surprising that he didn’t even notice it before. The sky seen through the perforated buildings of the ruins seemed exceptionally clear, and even the distant noise sounded sweet. ‘Yes, it must have been love.’ Why did he only know this now? Do-jin smiled and waved his free hand. “Ack, that crazy bastard!” Ga-jun swore and rolled his body. However, the shadow persistently clung to him and attacked. He desperately evaded and counterattacked, but it seemed that he also had a limit. In the end, it was Ga-jun who raised his hand far away. “Give up, I give up!” Do-jin asked Ga-jun, who shouted, softly. “What are you giving up?” “Ji Hyeon-woo!” Only then did Do-jin reap the shadow. “Are you keeping your word?” “Because I don’t have any choice! Who wants to kill a competitor like this!” “Me.” “This is driving me crazy.” Ga-jun stood up and brushed off his clothes. He looked at his watch and saw that time had passed. “Then I’ll go back.” Since he decided to go out, Hyeon-woo would still be waiting. It must have been a lot of heartache since quite a bit of time had passed, and he thought he should go and soothe it quickly. “By the way, Do Ga-jun. Don’t you dare come.” “What? Then, where will I go?” “Aren’t you the guild leader of Baekho Guild? Can’t you just find a hotel?” “Hey!” He heard Ga-jun shouting something from behind, but Do-jin ignored it. “You’re back? What about Ga-jun-ssi?” “He said he would stay at another hotel.” “Where did he go?” “I didn’t hear.” Do-jin calmly lied. Then, Hyeon-woo, who was lying on the sofa leaning on Seon-woo, let out a sigh. “They want us to move to a new hotel. So we have to go somewhere else.” He said he would never fight again, but he had already done something. Because of that, the hotel staff became anxious, and they eventually moved their lodgings. “This is bothering me.” When Hyeon-woo grumbled, Do-jin comforted him. “Since Do Ga-jun has gone elsewhere, that won’t happen anymore.” “Really?” A suspicious gaze landed on him, but Do-jin did not change his expression. “Of course.” “I’ll trust you for now.” Hyeon-woo said that and got up. The day’s work seemed to pass by just like that. Until the next day, when they met Do Ga-jun again. *** The meeting to elect the head of the World Awakened Alliance. The event was to be held in a huge building on the outskirts of New York. For that reason, Hyeon-woo, Seon-woo, and Do-jin dressed in suits and headed for the building. “The official name will be the World Awakened Association. The person elected today will be the president of the association.” The woman assigned as the guide added an explanation in a skillful voice. “Voting is done by putting the votes assigned to each country into the box. To prevent possible corruption, each box is guarded by Awakened people, and the box itself is also made using monster by-products.” “Then how many votes were assigned to Korea?” “Three votes. You must go and pick up the ticket in person. Do you have any more questions?” “None.” After that, the guide disappeared to guide the new person. “The number of people being three is just right.” Hyeon-woo asked in response to Seon-woo’s words. “Isn’t there one more on our side?” “I guess that’s a bonus.” The tone was sharp. It seemed that Seon-woo’s evaluation of Ga-jun had gone down drastically since yesterday’s incident. He didn’t swear, but that was it. “Who’s the bonus?” A familiar voice interrupted. It was Do Ga-jun. Seon-woo distorted his expression and turned his head away, and Do-jin also hardened his expression. “Why? I was also invited here.” Ga-jun waved the invitation with a sarcastic expression. “Are you breaking your promise?” At Do-jin’s words, Ga-jun replied with a smirk. “Isn’t that why I stayed at another hotel?” “You are saying you don’t mean it?” “No, even if I give up, we can remain friends.” Again, he graciously accepted it. Hyeon-woo interjected with a tired face as if he was going to do something here as well. “Let’s not fight here.” “You have to speak properly. Did I fight first?” He wasn’t wrong either. Because it was Seon-woo who tried to kill him yesterday too. Even so, Hyeon-woo was on Seon-woo’s side, saying that his arm was bent inward. “It must have been because you made him angry.” “Wow, wow!” Ga-jun raised his voice with a sad expression on his face. Still, since the seat was a seat, he did not intend to use his hand. Even if he used it, he couldn’t beat Seon-woo and Do-jin. As the four of them were grumbling, a large man suddenly approached us. “Hey, Koreans. Nice to meet you!” Because he was a man with a great presence, everyone’s eyes were focused on him. “It’s Bacardi from the Phoenix Guild.” “Hey, isn’t he your friend? Say it properly.” A few recognized him, whispered, and shrugged. Thanks to that, Hyeon-woo was able to quickly recognize his identity. Bacardi, the Guild Leader of the Phoenix Guild, which was the second largest guild in the United States. He was known for being rough and violent, and had an unfavorable reputation in the United States. Unlike the Guardian Guild, which put justice first, his image was bad because he did not hesitate to do dirty work. If Leon founded a guild for justice, Bacardi built a guild for his own benefit. Bacardi rolled his eyes and looked at Hyeon-woo. He felt dirty in his eyes, which were somehow sticky and obsessive, but he pressed it down with effort. “Is this Ji Hyeon-woo?” “Yes.” “Whoa, nice to meet you! I was interested in him because he said he was a tamer who had tamed dragons.” Bacardi smiled and held out his hand nonchalantly. It seemed like they wanted to shake hands, but somehow he didn’t want to. While hesitating, Ga-jun stepped forward and took his hand instead. “Whoa! I was also extremely interested in the Phoenix Guild. Nice to meet you!” It was so condescending that Bacardi didn’t even have time to express his displeasure. “You are Do Ga-jun of Baekho Guild, right?” “Yes, that’s right.” Ga-jun’s gripped hands gradually felt stronger. “Aren’t you the neighborhood drummer? You look the same to me, regardless of whether you’re a dog or a cow.” Ga-jun’s hand, which held Bacardi’s hand, began to gain strength. Then the power, which came back grew stronger and stronger. His strength was said to be the best in the United States, and it is strong enough to be ignorantly used. However, even Ga-jun could not withdraw from here. He was a Korean Awakened, and among them, he was the Guild Leader of the second-ranked Baekho Guild. If he withdrew from here, Korea and the Baekho Guild would only become a laughingstock. ‘Fuck, but it’s not easy to endure.’ Slowly, his smile began to fade. Seon-woo and Do-jin also noticed that, but they couldn’t intervene. It would be ridiculous to come and ask to replace him. His heart has been tight in his chest. No matter how much he hated him, they were from the same country. The atmosphere started to get nasty. And around that time, Hyeon-woo stepped forward. He said calmly, placing his hand on top of Bacardi and Ga-jun’s. “Are you going to keep shaking hands? Aren’t you gonna do it with me too?” And then he smiled. “Wa-wang” “Kirruk.” Seeing that eye smile, Kero and Spotty quietly backed away secretly from others. Two-eyed also moved their bodies along the two. ‘I’m angry.’ ‘I’m angry.’ ‘Angry.’ At this moment, the hearts of the three monsters united as one. They looked at each other and distanced themselves a little more. ‘A little bit.’ Bacardi smiled at him and snorted at Hyeon-woo who had intervened between them. He was trying to have fun, but Hyeon-woo was getting in the way. It seemed that he grew up without seeing the bitter taste. The subject of interest had changed. He thought it would be better to punish this little guy rather than Do Ga-jun. After making up his mind, he tried to let go of Ga-jun’s hand, but he gritted his teeth and held on. He seemed to have predicted what would happen next. ‘You should’ve just said that.’ Ga-jun was pushed back when he applied his strength one more time. “I would love to. Shall we shake hands?” Bacardi held out his hand to Hyeon-woo. These were really small and slender hands. It looked like it would break with just a little bit of force. A mean laugh crossed Bacardi’s lips. “Hyung!” Ji Seon-woo hurriedly tried to stop him, and Han Do-jin, who was next to him, did not stand still. He summoned his special skill, the shadow, before he knew it. But even so, Bacardi was not going to step down. He countered all of that with force and held Hyeon-woo’s hand. It was also a soft and fragile hand. Hands that hadn’t been through this kind of trouble were annoying. After committing to it, it will be troublesome to deal with it, but what about it? He would move as he pleased! That was Bacardi. It was the power and strength that had been built up for that purpose, but he didn’t want to avoid it again. He would just cry and suffer if it happened. Bacardi mercilessly gave strength to the hand that held it. Woo-ddeuk. A small sound came from the tightly gripped hands. It was probably the sound of bones being crushed. Bacardi’s mouth tore open.

60. I scratched my forehead at his sudden outburst and asked, “What are you talking about all of a sudden? What did you do wrong?” “Hyung asked for my number, but I refused, so………….” “......” This bastard, did you call me to fuck with me like this? “I wondered if you didn’t come in on purpose because you were uncomfortable.” Unexpectedly, his senses are as sharp as a ghost. “Ah…..” Quite quick-witted. I already felt it while playing the game, but I didn’t know you were quick in the realistic part either. “...Can that be the case? Didn’t you see Guild chat? I couldn’t come in because I was busy after class started.” “Is that so?” “Of course. What…….” Inadvertently, I paused and continued speaking as nonchalantly as possible. “What’s wrong with you refusing to give me your phone number? This can happen. I already told you that I understood.” “It goes too far to think that I won’t come to the game because of that. You are overly self-conscious.” “You mean I misunderstood?” No, it’s not a misunderstanding. “Uh-huh.” “Thank god.” Yoo Chae must have been sincerely relieved, and he spoke with a more relaxed voice. “I was very worried about what I would do if Hyung never came back.” “What? You didn’t even give me your number...” “Nevertheless.” I wondered if he finally relaxed. He let out a soft laugh at the words I spat out like a joke. Hearing that, I pursed my lips and furrowed my brows. ‘While wanting to get to know me like this.’ Even though words and actions are different, they are so different. Isn’t this all acting? Like, deep down, you think of me as a fucking unlucky bastard. “Hyung, are you playing the game today?” “I turned it on for that.” Just in time, a message came from Drink some water. [Drink some water: Hi-Hi] [Drink some water: I was going to contact you anyway] [I’m sleepy: Hiㅋㅋㅋ] [I’m sleepy: I heard about it from Soeso] [Drink some water: yeah, you didn’t come at all] [Drink some water: I was going to ask if you are busy] [Drink some water: you came in just in time ㅋㅋ] [I’m sleepy: I haven’t been able to come because I’ve been busy since the beginning of class] [I’m sleepy: I’m sorry] [Drink some water: ㅇㅇ No, I’m not trying to burden] [Drink some water: I was just trying to contact you to say hello] [I’m sleepy: I’ll increase my logging rate starting from now] [Drink some water: o] [Drink some water: Yoo Chae, that bastard won’t come in] [Drink some water: Crazy, fuck that bastard ] [Drink some water: I’ve been holding it in, and I wanted to contact u tooㅋㅋㅋ] I laughed out loud at the content of the message that followed. Yoo Chae, What is this guy really doing? I had been suspicious of him until just now, but my doubts disappeared in an instant. [Drink some water: Can I save the number I received?] [I’m sleepy: yes] “Wait for a sec.” I blocked Yoo Chae who was reciting game contents with a look of excitement, and I opened the lid of the mineral water bottle I had brought beforehand and drank it all the way. The hangover won’t go away. The headache lingered and my head couldn’t turn well. “Wait for now. I woke up and I haven’t eaten yet. I also have a hangover……” “Hungover? Did you drink yesterday?” “I had a meeting with the department, so I drank a little, and I feel really bad. I don’t usually have a hangover, but yesterday I mixed it up and drank it... I feel like I would die at this rate.” Yoo Chae, who had been listening to me silently, lost his energy in an instant and said sullenly. “If you are tired, you can go to rest. Be sure to eat.” “Do you want me to just leave?” “You said you would die. The game can wait till tomorrow. It’s Sunday anyway.” “How do you know I’ll be free no matter what just because it’s Sunday.” “...Are you busy?” After hesitating for a while, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the sneaking question. What does he really believe in doing such cute things? “No, I’m not busy. Let’s do it today and let’s also do it tomorrow. But I’ll come back after eating, so wait a bit.” “You don’t have to overdo it.” “How hard can it be to play a game, while sitting still?” I responded slowly, and Yoo Chae, who had been trying hard to take care of me, showed excitement again. “What are you going to eat? How long will it take?” “I’ll just have it delivered and eat it. It will take about an hour.” “I’ll wait.” “Yes. Are you going to continue discord?” “Hyu-Hyung, if it’s okay with you...” While flipping through the menu on my phone, I covered the corners of my mouth that soared upward with my hand. What is this... It’s like a puppy itself panting with excitement when I say go for a walk. “Wait quietly.” “Yes!” After muting the mic and taking off my headset, I resumed picking out the menu where I left off. I just wanted something quick and easy to eat. I can’t just set a table and eat while the kid is waiting. *** “You crazy man, what are you doing?” “Yes? Hyung, did you insult me just now?” Exactly two hours after I thought Yoo Chae was cute. When I shouted out while lying miserably on the floor of the dungeon, Yoo Chae expressed a lot of regret. “You don’t look like you’re cursing, you bastard!” “I’m not a bastard!” “Then what is it?” “Bride! I even have a title!” Currently, I couldn’t overcome Yoo Chae’s whining and changed the title to ‘Sleepy Owner’s Groom’. Fuck. I’m never going to wear this title again. [Party] Bright Clouds: ukㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Bright Clouds: Sleepy-nim, you got a bit sloppyㅋ [Party] TheHunter: ??? [Party] TheHunter: What’s up? [Party] Staric: There wasn’t anything to die for...? [Party] Harn: You could have just stayed in the green? [Party] Mocha Bread: Sleepy-nim [Party] Mocha Bread: It’s been a while so you’ve dulled all ur senses.ㅋ [Party] Park Seungjin99: ?? [Party] Park Seungjin99: Didn’t Gilma-nim tell you the pattern? [Party] I’m sleepy: ha ㅅ1fck.... He had entered the dungeon created by the event with his guild members. Since it was an event dungeon and not a raid, it wasn’t that difficult, but mid-bosses with gimmicks with fixed patterns appeared. Still, there is no big problem as Yoo Chae, who has been to the event dungeon before, explains in real time. I just thought that. “Is the title important now?” I was confused about the color for a moment. It was avoiding colors, one of the patterns of the middle boss I met on the second floor of the dungeon. A complex magic circle was drawn on the floor, and the color changed at regular intervals. You had to enter the correct color to survive. While choosing a magic circle, everything other than my character was covered in darkness, so it was impossible to see and follow others. I entered the green magic circle just as Yoo Chae said. And died miserably. Kim Yoo-chae, who actually gave me the wrong information, moved to the red color right before the end, so I didn’t search, and only I followed. “I-I’m also here for the second time today…………!” Yoo Chae, who was taken aback by my cold attitude, hurriedly added an excuse. However, I, who had already been branded as a fool by the guild members, had to continue to be teased until the end of the dungeon raid. [Party] TheHunter: Ha sleepy, I’m a bit disappointed~ [Party] Mocha Bread: frㅋㅋ [Party] Mocha Bread: No, how can you just~die?~ [Party] TheHunter: I admit~ [Party] Yoo Chae: Stop it, you bastards [Party] Park Seung-jin99: Ha.. He just took ur side because u guys got married.. [Party] Harn: I’m so sad, how can I live?ㅠ [Party] Park Seungjin99: ? [Party] Bright Clouds: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Staric: Is this the power of marriage? [Party] Staric: Hunter-nim, let’s go? [Party] TheHunter: no [Party] Bright Clouds: are u gonna get dumped? Yoo Chae tried to intervene urgently, but the seeds did not work. After going through all kinds of humiliation like that, as soon as I came out onto the field, I swung my staff at him. Hit! “Hyuung… it hurts.” Hiit! Hit! [Party] Yoo Chae: ㅜㅡㅜ [Party] Yoo Chae: ㅠㅅㅠ!!! [Party] TheHunter: they’re still lovebirds [Party] Bright Clouds: he deserved to be hit [Party] Harn: Who else could he be, if not Gilma-nim? [Party] Harn: Who else could make Sleepy-nim die in a gimmick like that?ㅋ [Party] Harn: Think logically [Party] Staric: Logic omg omg [Party] Bright Clouds: That sounds plausible [Party] Bright Clouds: Spirit Victory [Party] Park Seung-jin99: I took a screenshot of that Sleepy-nim’s death [Party] Park Seung-jin99: Can I upload this to the guild chat room?ㅇㅅㅇ [Party] I’m sleepy: fk why did u take a photo of that [Party] Park Seung-jin99: Because lying down looks so comfortable haha [Party] I’m sleepy: delete itㅡ ㅡ [Party] Park Seung-jin99: Cri ㅠㅠ [Party] Bright Clouds: Cri ㅠㅠ [Party] Harn: Cri ‘Cri’ don’t say nonsense with that. Both Yoo Chae and the guild members are so annoying. --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei Support on Kofi: Chapter 61, 62, 63, 64 Chapter 65, 66, 67, 68 MM: God, I so badly wanted to dissect the whole phone number drama here but will not haha HM: wwwwww We made a Discord Server! please join us!

73. ‘Is this bastard crazy?’ Hyeon-woo didn’t know why Bacardi was squeezing his hand. Was he a pervert? Hyeon-woo slowly withdrew his hand with a frightened expression. And then Bacardi looked at his hand and let out his roar. “Aack!” It was not like he was a pervert; he had finally realized that his hand was broken. He swung a violent fist imbued with a killing intent. ‘I think I might get caught.’ After returning to Korea, Hyeon-woo wanted to rest. His younger brother didn’t say anything, so he didn’t exert himself. It seemed that everyone misunderstood his abilities because of that, but he had no intention of correcting it in order to stop the misunderstanding. So even though he was unconcerned, those around Hyeon-woo saw the situation as dangerous. “Stop!” Frightened, several Awakened people ran to them both. And the fastest among them were Seon-woo and Do-jin, and Ga-jun who was right next to him. “Whack!” Ga-jun screamed and snatched Hyeon-woo away, Seon-woo made an ice barrier in front of Hyeon-woo and Do-jin’s shadow blocked Bacardi’s fist. Their actions only angered Bacardi more. “Just die!” Bacardi, who instantly recovered from the damage with his unique super-regeneration ability, rushed at Hyeon-woo. Of course, there was no way Seon-woo or Do-jin would let him go. As Bacardi thumped away, a shadow covered him and caught him. Then, spinning water droplets rained down on Bacardi like bullets. “Wow.” When the common enemy was found, their compatibility reached its peak. If Do-jin bound them, Seon-woo attacked, and if Seon-woo bound them, Do-jin attacked. Bacardi couldn’t move properly from the spot and was hit hard by the attacks. When would they ever see such a show again? The Awakened people who were running stopped and stared blankly. Then some even clapped. ‘Wouldn’t he be more upset?’ Even Ga-jun, who was watching how fantastically he squeezed it, was admiring it. And the more he did, the more Bacardi’s face turned red. “I can’t stand it any longer!” “Since when did you endure it?” Hearing Ga-jun’s inadvertent words, Bacardi opened his eyes fiercely. Then, he started to build up his muscles. “Hey, hey! Look at that!” “Is he crazy? This is inside a building!” Bacardi was an Awakened who subdued monsters with his power while restoring his body through super regeneration. If the power that could easily overcome even a huge monster was poured into this building, there was no way the building would survive intact. “Everything has to be destroyed!” “You’re going to be the one, who’s dying.” Seon-woo began to use harsh words and create a huge ice spear in the air. The huge ice spear, which took shape in an instant, began to rotate rapidly. It was a skill he usually used when dealing with giant monsters, but he was planning to use it on Bacardi now. Realizing that, Do-jin immediately began to cover the surroundings with shadows. Of course, he didn’t forget to nail Bacardi to the spot. “I! You Bacardi! Did you think I can’t overcome this much!” The situation has gone awry. “Hey, what do we do now?” Ga-jun looked at the three of them with a tired expression and asked. “What do you mean, what do we do?” Hyeon-woo yawned and asked again. “Do you really think you can kill him? Have you forgotten what we are doing here today? And no matter how bad Bacardi is, he’s still an American bastard that’s a candidate for the president of the association.” “Whatever.” “No! You can’t do that!” Ga-jun pounded his chest in frustration. But Hyeon-woo didn’t budge. What mattered to him now was not whether his younger brother and Do-jin would kill Bacardi or not. ‘Isn’t that a bit strange?’ A familiar feeling emanated from Bacardi. But he couldn’t immediately remember what it was. Hyeon-woo crossed his arms and tapped his arm with his finger. Gradually, the memories of him he had buried deep down began to emerge. ‘Yeah, I’ve seen that power somewhere. I couldn’t have forgotten.’ In the Demon Realm. The demons there used that kind of power. Hyeon-woo’s eyes twinkled as he came to a realization. It seemed that Bacardi shouldn’t die here. Because he had something he wanted to ask. “Kero.” As soon as his name was called, Kero’s, who knew the meaning perfectly, inflated his body. Then, he jumped right between Bacardi and Seon-woo and bit Bacardi. ‘I don’t want to bite such a dirty muscular man!’ But because the owner ordered it! Kero tore off Bacardi from the shadow and got out of Seon-woo’s attack range. Of course, it was embarrassing to keep biting it, so he spit it out right away. He also spit out a bit of saliva as if he was trying to get rid of contamination. “What’s up with this bastard!” Bacardi ran rampant, and Seon-woo stopped attacking for a while and started to assess the situation. Kero never moved alone. Then, all of this had to have been ordered by Hyeon-woo. Seon-woo waved his hand to break the ice spear that was spinning like crazy and then went to Hyeon-woo’s side. “Hyung, are you okay?” He held his hand to see if he was hurt, and looked closely, but he was fine. “Unn, I’m fine.” Hyeon-woo waved his hand, proving that he was safe. “I should have checked for Hyung’s wounds first.” For a moment, he was blinded by anger. Seon-woo lowered his head with his shoulders drooping in an attitude of self-reflection. “It’s alright.” Hyeon-woo stroked his still young brother’s head. In the meantime, Do-jin, who had tied Bacardi again, came closer and held Hyeon-woo’s hand again. The fingers, which had been carefully rubbing the palm of his hand, moved slowly, and intertwined with each other. It must have been just an act of worrying about the wound, but he felt strange. Somehow, it felt like his hands were sweating. “Are you hurt anywhere?” “No, I’m fine.” Hyeon-woo unknowingly trembled. Seon-woo knew that he was the kind of person who would love anyone. His family of two was his entire world. But what about Do-jin? While he calmly revealed his true colors to others, there seemed to be a part of him that he hid unknowingly. ‘Did I cheat such a good person?’ The thought of that made his heart ache. “Thank god. I’m really glad.” Do-jin let out a sigh of relief and tried to give Hyeon-woo a hug. “You must have been very surprised. How about going back and resting today?” It was sweet to see him gently soothe him with a worried expression. As he heard those words, he felt himself melt away. He closed his mouth, realizing he almost said ‘Yes!.’ “No, I can’t just do that.” He still had a lot to do, so he couldn’t go back already. “You should rest.” His body didn’t obey what he said. “Sure. I need to rest.” When Hyeon-woo answered hesitantly, Ga-jun stood next to him and tackled him with a confident expression. “Everyone, wake up! What do you mean by taking a rest? Ji Seon-woo, did you forget that we came to represent the country? Han Do-jin, what do you mean by leaving this mess behind and going to take a break!” “I am sane enough.” “Hyeon-woo needs to rest. What a surprise he must have had.” “No, no! I’ll have to work it out from now on! And Ji Hyeon-woo, isn’t he fine? You’re totally fine, right?” “Only the body is fine, the mind will not be.” Everyone else was speechless. ‘Am I the only normal person here?’ He was always called a madman but being among them made him feel normal. Ga-jun tried to stay calm and persuaded them. “Let’s just wait a little bit. The person in charge will appear soon, so explain the situation. Oh! Where are you going!” “I’m going back. In the first place, it was our side that was so rude to guests invited from abroad, so even if we came out like this, there would be nothing to say. There are many eyewitnesses.” After saying that, Seon-woo turned his back and sat down in front of Hyeon-woo. “Hyung, please get on my back.” “It’s not that bad? I can still walk.” Taking advantage of Hyeon-woo’s refusal to shake his hand, Do-jin sneakily sat down next to him and showed his back. “My back will be more comfortable.” In the end, Ga-jun gave up on persuading them. “I don’t know. It’ll work out somehow.” Yes, why did they have to go abroad and bow down to others? Ga-jun slowly decided to let go of his worries. Around that time, a new person appeared from afar. Unlike usual, a blond-haired man had a stern expression on his face– he was Leon. He came this way with a few people, and he sighed deeply when he saw Bacardi glaring at Kero as if he were going to kill him, and Hyeon-woo standing confused between the two men. “Bacardi, are you crazy?” “Who’s crazy?” “I meant you, Bacardi. Guild leader of the Phoenix Guild.” “The crazy one is over there! How dare he make me look like this?” “I have already heard everything. You are the one who started a fight first, and the one who rolls the floor ugly over such a topic.” With a cold expression on his face, Leon mercilessly criticized Bacardi. “I can’t let this go like this. You know that much, right?” “Ha, what if you aren’t going to let this go?” “I’m going to raise the matter of prohibiting you from the position of president of the association at the meeting.” “Who wants that position anyway!” Bacardi sprang to his feet before he knew it. “The purpose of creating the association is for the entire world to work together to keep world peace, but you don’t seem to fit that. And the punishment won’t end with just depriving you of position. Even attacking innocent people unexpectedly has a price.” “Why me!” “Are you a child? Do you think everything will be solved by being fussy?” “I feel wronged! Is it because my hand was crushed?” The faces of the Awakened people around them were distorted in the same way at those words. The person who dealt with him was a tamer-type Awakened who looked small and delicate. Since tamers often depended on the strength of the monsters they dealt with, the person concerned was often weak. Their power was incomparable to Bacardi, who beat monsters with force. Some listened to Bacardi’s words and reflexively checked his hands, but they seemed perfectly fine. “Wow, he has no conscience.” “They weren’t hurt in the first place.” The natural sound of that was not good. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine, YaagRabRag HM: (The best comment of the chapter) Seeing Hyeon-woo working hard for the first time in a while makes me feel refreshed.

59. Curiously, as soon as my question popped up, I could feel through the screen that Yoo Chae was in a very difficult position. I, who was also a bit embarrassed by the guy’s silence for a long time, spoke first. [Party] I’m sleepy: I won’t ask to meet you or anything like that [Party] I’m sleepy: I thought the phone number was okay [Party] I’m sleepy: r u uncomfortable? [Party] Yoo Chae: No, it’s not uncomfortable [Party] Yoo Chae: I just don’t want to [Party] Yoo Chae: I just don’t want to right now, so does that make u uncomfortable? [Party] Yoo Chae: I’m sorry [Party] Yoo Chae: But can you give me some time? [Party] I’m Sleepy: What time? [Party] Yoo Chae: Time to think about whether I can give u my number Frozen at the unexpected words, I forcibly moved my hand. [Party] I’m sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋ [Party] I’m sleepy: fine *** “What the fuck, what the fuck… I’m embarrassed.” “Eh?” I drank soju from the glass at once and muttered with a frown and Kim Dae-seok, who was sitting across from me, replies with a puzzled noise. “What’s embarrassing?” “There’s this thing.” When I answered with a mixed heart, Kim Dae-seok gave me a pitiful look and filled my empty glass with soju. “Hey, come on… There are times in life when everyone is like that.” “What?” “Is it because of that Noona introduced by Eun Hae-seong? Oh right. Come to think of it, weren’t I introduced to her? I forgot because of Yoo Chae before the semester started, and after the semester started, there were many meetings and work to be done. “I haven’t been in touch with her though.” “You didn’t? Then why? When I saw the picture then, she was so pretty!” “I was busy.” When I held out my glass of soju, Kim Dae-seok bumped into it even though he was dumbfounded. I like friends like him. “Ugh, it’s a bit cold outside.” “It’s cold when I go out wearing only short sleeves. Isn’t it summer now?” As I drank another shot, my classmates who went out to smoke came back one after another. Kim Dae-seok opened his mouth after pulling Eun Hae-seong, who had been caught, to the seat beside him. “Hey, Hae-seong. Yoo Ji-han, this bastard, didn’t contact the Noona you introduced him to?” “Huh? really? Why? Is she not good enough?” “No, I’m busy. Kim Dae-seok, stop beating around the bush and shut up.” “It’s such a waste though.” What’s the point of sharing contact information with each other? It’s not like you’re going to date or get married right away just by contacting her, so it’s a waste of nothing. Even though Yoo Chae that bastard didn’t do anything that wasn’t a big deal. Even thinking about it again makes me angry. After pouring a full beer into an empty beer glass, Hae-seong shrugged his shoulders and said lightly. “Since she has a nice personality, why don’t we call her later? Or is it someone else?” “Oh! Crazy Yoo Ji-han, you can’t be embarrassed... Did you get dumped for flirting with another girl other than that Noona?” “Do you think I’m you?” “Tsk, really. Why are we worrying over this bastard’s girl problem? You’ll do well on your own, I’m sure.” “That’s right...” While I was looking at Kim Dae-seok and Eun Hae-seong, who had a strange misunderstanding, the juniors playing at the other table sneaked up to them. “Sunbae-nim, can we join you?” “Ugh! Okay!” Seeing that they were first-year girls, Kim Dae-seok was delighted and cleared the table of glasses and bottles to make room. The two girls sitting on either side of me shyly bowed their heads as they met my eyes. These were the faces I had seen many times over the past few days at a tightly packed drinking party. “Come here, cheers!” “Cheers~!” When the girls joined in, they continued to clink glasses in line with Kim Dae-seok, who was in a better mood. I drank the soju like water and quickly pushed the thought of Yoo Chae out of my head. After 10:00 p.m. and approaching 11:00 p.m, the meeting ended to some extent. As they rushed out of the store except for the few people who remained to pay, the cool autumn night air felt on their skin. I put on a loose coat that fell down my shoulders, and the juniors who had been drinking at the same table flocked to me, each holding a cell phone. “Yoo Ji-han sunbae-nim. May I ask for your number?” “Me too.” They looked like young chicks with their youthful faces cautiously holding out their cellphones. I thought it was pretty cute, so I smiled and picked up my phone to add their numbers. “Please write your name in a text message later and send it to me one by one.” Even if you save just one, it will be automatically updated on the Messenger friends list, but since they are from the same department, it would be better for me to save the number as well. The children who heard me nodded enthusiastically. After exchanging numbers like that, 5 people were added to the phone log. ‘It’s so easy...…………? I sighed and tucked my phone into my coat. Suddenly everything felt meaningless. Neither the interest of people who were interested in me nor the games where I could die and not live were all boring. ‘I’ve been focusing too much on the game.’ Since classes have started, it would be better to keep a distance for a while. Time will pass quickly if you take classes, do homework, and have a few drinks. Thinking so, I took a cigarette out of my pocket and put it in my mouth. *** “Ah, I’m going to die...” Lying on the bed like a corpse, I turned over to my right side with a grunt. That alone made my whole body sore, and I naturally screamed in pain. I drank until late in the morning with my classmates, and when I blearily opened my eyes, it was already late in the afternoon. Damn you guys... I raised my upper body as I watched the sunset rays shining through the window. Diing. When I was sitting in a daze, brushing my messy hair, my cell phone, which I had thrown at the corner of the bed, vibrated. “What.” It was Kim Dae-seok who, like me, drank until late in the morning. Do you want me to go with you to relieve your hangover or something? I lowered my legs under the bed and answered the phone, my torso bent down. “Uh.” -Did you go home safely? “You thought that I couldn’t, huh?” -Uh-huh, do you see how picky this bastard is? Are you in a very bad condition? “I won’t be going out today because I’m really tired, so don’t call me.” - I’m not calling you to go to a place(1) to relieve my hangover. That’s not what this is for? “So why?” -No, someone from Zenoris asked me for your cell phone number. Someone from Zenoris asked for my cell phone number? Could it be... Yoo Chae? “Who asked?” -Water Noona. “Ah.” The moment I heard the answer, like a sandcastle washed away by the sea, my hopes for hope vanished, and instead I was filled with desolation. When I realized that, I was stunned and laughed out loud. What am I even thinking right now? - I said I would ask you first. Should I tell her the phone number? Something seemed wrong. “I don’t care. Let her know.” -I think it’s because you haven’t been in the game for too long. Hey, when you enter a guild, it’s polite to connect whenever you have time, even if you’re busy. “Uh. Thank you so much for letting me know. I’m gonna hang up.” I didn’t listen to what Kim Dae-seok was talking about and ended the call right away, so I went straight to the bathroom to break out of my hazy mind. After taking a shower with cold water that chilled me to the bone, I turned on my computer after roughly drying my hair. I had been turning on my computer occasionally because of assignments, but I hadn’t been able to access the game for almost three weeks. [Guild] Let’s do it: Gasp [Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: Oh, I’m sleepy-nim hi [Guild] Let’s do it: It’s Sleepy-nim hi hi [Guild] Harn: It’s been a while~ [Guild] This is Dorahee: Hi-Hi~ [Guild] Manaolingnam: Sleepy-nim Hi [Guild] Staric: Hi [Guild] I’m Sleepy: Hello [Guild] TheHunter: Gasp Sleepy-nim ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] TheHunter: It’s been a while, hello ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] I’m sleepy: I couldn’t play because I was busy after class started haha [Guild] The Hunter: Ah, the beginning of the semester, I admit.. [Guild] The Hunter: Me too, been so busy in a week ㅠㅠ [Guild] Harn: The beginning of the semester is like that, I agree.. In addition to the guild chatting with greetings, the screen was filled with event pages, access rewards, and notification messages. After quickly organizing them, I opened the Friends window and checked the connected users. Both Water and Yoo Chae were connected. Yoo Chae, I don’t know what he’s doing, but why is there no answer from Water? Usually she has something to say and greets me at least. [Yoo Chae: Hyung] I was scratching my forehead while leaning back on my chair, but Yoo Chae sent me a private message rather than a guild chat. [I’m Sleepy: haha] [I’m Sleepy: Long time no see] After my wedding, I never logged on, so it’s been a while since I met Yoo Chae. It’s natural that I didn’t play the game since I was deliberately avoiding it. [Yoo Chae: Yes..] [Yoo Chae: Hyung, can you use discord now?] [I’m sleepy: Discord?] [I’m sleepy: Why?] [Yoo Chae: just] [Yoo Chae: I want to hear ur voice] [Yoo Chae: hyung, you came here after a really long time..] If you’re unhappy, just give me your phone number, you bastard. I’ll call you all day long. I raised the corners of my mouth in dissatisfaction and turned on the discord. [I’m sleepy: yeah turned on] As soon as I sent the message, this call came as if he had been waiting. When I put on the headset and answered the call, I could hear Yoo Chae’s voice clearly. “Hyung, how are you?” “Of course, I have been well.” “Your voice seems to be a little husky.” “It’s natural.” It was a bit awkward to talk to Yoo Chae after a long time. In the end, I was upset over spilled milk...…………. After my answer, an awkward silence fell between him and me. If that’s the case, why did he ask me to do this? “...If you don’t have anything to say, hang up.” Surprised by my words, Yoo Chae hurriedly shouted, “No, no! That, Hyung. I’m.......” “Uh.” Yoo Chae, who hesitated for a long time, continued to speak with difficulty. “I… was wrong…” What? —---- Note: [-1] Usually refers to restaurants who cater to the hangover and mainly serve Haejang-guk (Hangover soup). --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei Support on Kofi: Chapter 60 Chapter 61, 62, 63, 64 Chapter 65, 66, 67, 68 HM: Is MC serious?

71. “What the hell are you thinking?” The first to be targeted was Ga-jun. Because they had a troubled relationship originally, Seon-woo was even more wary of him. He felt that Ga-jun couldn’t beat him himself, so maybe he was aiming for his Hyung. “What did I do?” Ga-jun shrugged his shoulders and asked back. “Don’t you keep approaching my Hyung? Do you think my Hyung will go to the Baekho Guild?” Ga-jun was able to read Seon-woo’s thoughts with those words. So, he thought that Ga-jun coveted Hyeon-woo’s abilities. ‘Well, it would have been like that before.’ The only thing that moved him now was his curiosity about Hyeon-woo and his fondness while walking around. He didn’t want the ability to tame dragons like Seon-woo thought. “Is this more fun than that?” Unknowingly, the corner of his mouth went up. “Let me ask you one thing.” “What is it?” “Why are you following my Hyung around?” Ga-jun answered Seon-woo’s question without hesitation. “It’s about paying off what I owed in the past.” “Are you trying to kidnap my Hyung after siding with us?” Do-jin and Seon-woo’s eyebrows crumpled at the blatant words. Still, Ga-jun’s words were unstoppable. It was like this in the first place. No matter who was in front of him, he couldn’t change it. “No, that’s strange. Why are you both so insistent on sticking to him?” “Is it so strange? I’m in great debt to Hyeon-woo. I cannot leave until I pay it all off.” This time, Do-jin protested with a heavy voice. “Okay. So, you’re here to pay off your past debts? So, Ji Seon-woo, is that why you’re standing still?” In fact, Seon-woo wasn’t standing still, but Ga-jun couldn’t figure that out. What kind of pushover had been chasing him all this time to pay off debts! Besides, Do-jin was not the kind of person who would be swung around by anyone like a pushover. Wasn’t he the one who planned the kidnapping together and ran out without any understanding? There was no way he didn’t know this. Seeing Seon-woo keep his mouth shut, he had something he wanted to hide more than that. Combining the facts we have learned so far, it was clear what the situation was. When this happened, the story became completely different. “First of all, I’m not chasing after his ability.” “Then what?” Ga-jun replied with a smirk. He also had a desire to make fun of Ji Seon-woo, who was a Brocom [1] for his Hyung. “Because I like to.” “What do you mean by that?” “Are you asking because you don’t know?” How long had it been since he had said it? Seon-woo’s frozen hand moved and an ice spear floated above it. He then attacked Ga-jun without mercy. He was prepared for an attack, so he didn’t get hit, but he flinched involuntarily at the ferocious appearance of him attacking him with a vein on his forehead. “Calm down. Calm down! This is inside a hotel.” Ga-jun would have been excited to confront it in another place, but they were invited guests from abroad, and other influential people would also be staying here. So he tried to convince Seon-woo, but it didn’t work. Before he knew it, the corridor was filled with ice windows. “Please just die.” “No, is it a death sentence for people to like people?” “You have to die.” Ga-jun desperately avoided the ice spear by rolling his body. Then, this time, spinning water droplets rained down like bullets. He roughly threw a potted plant placed in the hallway to block the vital part, but the problem was the amount of water droplets pouring out afterwards. If they endured here, some of them had no choice but to be hit. “Damn it!” In the end, he had no choice but to punch the wall, knock it down, and escape into the space next to it. As the space opened up, it became easier to evade, but that was all. It wasn’t easy to avoid Seon-woo, who attacked with his eyes wide open. “Stop him there!” He thought it would destroy the entire upper floor, so he shouted at Do-jin, but he just stood there with a worried expression. He was in a crazy situation. Realizing that long-distance attacks did not work well, Seon-woo rushed forward and grabbed Ga-jun by the collar. ‘This is usually my role!’ It was an analysis role. Ga-jun stopped Seon-woo from frantically attacking with lamentation. And just then, Hyeon-woo came out of the room. “What are you doing?” Hyeon-woo, who came out with Kero in his arms, looked at Ga-jun who was rolling on the floor and then at Seon-woo who was punching him as he climbed on top of him, then blinked his eyes. Seon-woo was too old to be doing this. “Were you fighting?” The walls of the hotel were crumbling, and an employee who appeared was watching from a distance restlessly. Even under such circumstances, Seon-woo did not break his will. “Hyung, wait a minute. I’ll take care of it soon.” “What are you dealing with?” “One bastard.” Apparently, the bastard Seon-woo was talking about was Ga-jun. He didn’t think there was a crisis until just a moment ago. Hyeon-woo tilted his head as he stroked Kero’s head. First of all, he had to stop his younger brother. He didn’t think Seon-woo did anything wrong, but the place was inside the building. If something went wrong and it collapsed, it would cause a lot of casualties. “You can’t fight here. If you want to fight, go outside and fight.” After calmly calming him down, Seon-woo nodded quietly. “Okay. I’ll go out and kill you.” Then, grabbing Ga-jun by the collar, he approached the hotel window. It looked like he was about to jump out. He was an S-class Awakened, so he wouldn’t die. “Wait! Hey, he’s killing me now! Why aren’t you stopping him!” “I tried to.” “What is it that you tried?” “That depends?” Ga-jun struggled desperately to escape Seon-woo’s clutches. Seon-woo again tried to snatch him by the collar, but Ga-jun was a bit quicker as he stepped aside from Hyeon-woo. “Listen. I’m innocent!” “Hyung, don’t listen.” “No, you see–!” The moment Ga-jun was about to complain, something black came out from behind and blocked his mouth. “Eup!” He couldn’t speak because his lips were glued together. Ga-jun struggled in frustration, then turned around and struck the person who had blocked his mouth. However, Do-jin, the person in question, leisurely avoided the attack, grabbed Ga-jun, broke the hotel window, and ran outside. It happened in an instant, so he didn’t even have time to use his hands. “What just happened?” Hyeon-woo stood there blankly and asked Seon-woo, but the answer that came back was firm. “Hyung doesn’t have to know.” At the same time, the elevator opened and an employee who appeared in it screamed. “Uck!” It seemed unreasonable to go sightseeing in the afternoon. Hyeon-woo scratched his head and turned around to appease the frightened employee. “Cough, cough!” Ga-jun, dragged into the ruins by the shadows, coughed like crazy. He was so tightly tied and dragged that he had no time to resist. “No, really these crazy bastards.” Apparently, they must have thought of themselves as neighborhood drummers. If so, they should change their idea. Holding the poison bottle in his inner pocket, Ga-jun spat out and stood up. “Ji Seon-woo, let’s speak. Why are you being such a jerk again?” When he asked while juggling poison bottles, Do-jin stared at Ga-jun with an incomprehensible look. Then he opened his mouth. “Didn’t you say you like Hyeon-woo?” “And?” “Does liking mean what I think it means?” “If it means romantic, then yes.” In reality, it hadn’t reached that point yet, but he couldn’t back down from here. Having said that, it didn’t seem like a bad idea. Although he preferred women, Hyeon-woo seemed to be fine with a man. Just then, Do-jin asked about him. “We just happened to be men.” Ga-jun spat out a famous line here. “I don’t like men. The person I liked just happened to be a man.” It was a common line in novels. However, upon hearing that, Do-jin thought about it again. Since he had been there for such a long time, he had no desire to attack. Ga-jun sighed as he brushed off his soiled clothes. He was offended by something, but he didn’t know what it was. “If you’re going to keep thinking, I’ll get going first.” As he was about to leave, something grabbed his foot. “You madman!” It was Do-jin’s shadow. “Why again!” “What do you mean?” “What you like is what you like! Why do you ask.” “Like wanting to keep seeing someone, and where your heart races. Did you feel that feeling?” “I did!” Why ask if he knew! When Ga-jun replied nervously, Do-jin nodded. “Okay. It was something like that.” It looked like he understood something. “Alright? Then let go.” “No. I can’t do that.” “Why not?” “Anyway, I think I like Hyeon-woo too. No, I love him.” It was even more fascinating to know that now. “So what?” “Wouldn’t it be better to have fewer competitors?” At the same time, Do-jin smiled. He seemed to have foretold this when he started to feel uncomfortable. “Fuck.” Goosebumps ran down Ga-jun’s spine. He didn’t know why there were so many crazy people around. He held the small poison bottle between his fingers again and glared at Do-jin’s shadow as it came flooding in. ‘They don’t match well.’ His compatibility with Do-jin was worse than that of Seon-woo, who had frequent ranged attacks. The shadow can attack the back, but attacks to the back make it difficult for the opponent to counterattack. So the last time he lost in vain, and it ended up like this again. Ga-jun gritted his teeth and glared at Do-jin.

70. ‘Something feels familiar.’ The impression was stronger on the woman’s side, but Hyeon-woo’s gaze turned to a man next to her. He had never seen such a face, but somehow it was not unfamiliar. The thought continued until he broke away from them and stood in front of a hot dog truck. “What do you want to eat?” Still, Ga-jun pretended to be friendly and hung around. Hyeon-woo pointed to the menu board and looked at him, following his words, then stepped on his foot. “Ack!” It would be difficult to break a bone here, so he didn’t step on it hard. “You’re noisy.” At Ga-jun’s scream, Do-jin said with a cold voice. Originally, they didn’t get along well, but looking at it another way, they looked pretty serious. “Can’t I scream with my mouth?” “It’s a problem because it’s useless.” “How do you know if it’s useless or not?” “How many times do you have to talk down to me?” “I’m the older one. If you feel this is unfair, talk down to me too!” “I’ll gladly.” Why did this relationship get so bad? As he was thinking about the reason, Seon-woo stood next to him before he knew it. Excluding Hyeon-woo, he was the only person who could stop the two of them, but he didn’t seem to have any intention of doing that. After all, Seon-woo must be tired too. “What does Hyung want to eat?” “I’ll have the basics.” “This one for this.” Between them, Two-eyed intervened and pointed to the picture of the thickest-looking hot dog. “Then I’ll order.” Even while Seon-woo was ordering hot dogs, Ga-jun and Do-jin were fighting. And right before it boiled over, Hyeon-woo called them. “Aren’t you going to eat?” “You can eat it!” “I’m going.” Ga-jun, who had been walking this way first, suddenly stumbled. After taking the gap, Do-jin walked quickly and took a seat next to Hyeon-woo. “Despicable!” Hyeon-woo saw everything although it seemed like he did it secretly. It meant that Do-jin crossed Ga-jun’s foot with his shadow. He took out his handkerchief from his bosom and wiped Hyeon-woo’s cheeks that were stained with sauce and said. “Don’t hang out with such a dangerous person.” “Who’s in danger!” “You.” “You also held hands with him at first!” Ga-jun, who felt unfair, shouted, but Do-jin calmly turned his head. At this rate, they seemed like they were going to fight endlessly. “If you want to fight, do it without me.” “We are not fighting.” (Ga-jun) “We are not fighting.” (Do-jin) The two quickly denied and belatedly ordered a hot dog and started eating it. The days went by just like that. Do-jin and Ga-jun often fought, and sometimes Seon-woo also participated. When Hyeon-woo stopped it, he thought it would be quiet again, but whenever there was a chance, they would go back to normal. He thought he was more comfortable when he was in Korea. *** Around the time Hyeon-woo was bubbling up, the Awakened people who had entered the United States also began to move. At first, those who only watched from afar gradually approached him. “Hello? Hyeon-woo-ssi.” The first to approach was a Russian. She approached Hyeon-woo, who was drinking tea absentmindedly in the hotel lobby, and greeted him with a smile. “My name is Misha from the Russian Awakened Authority.” For an Awakened, the woman with a small body and a delicate impression was quite a beauty. “Hello?” She looked at him with an expression asking what’s-going-on-here, and Misha smiled and said. “Have you enjoyed all of New York?” “Yes.” Ga-jun acted like a determined traveler. Thanks to that, Hyeon-woo was dragged around and unintentionally looked around most of the famous places. “There are many places to see in the US, but there are also many in Russia. Everyone thinks of Russia as a cold country, but there are actually so many things to see.” Misha said casually and sat down next to Hyeon-woo. “And the treatment of Awakened people is also great.” “Yes?” “Hyeon-woo, are you satisfied with the current Republic of Korea?” He hoped not, but it was a scout. “I have no intention of going to another country.” “Even if the conditions are much better?” “Yes.” Now that there was his younger brother, Seon-woo, Hyeon-woo had no intention of abandoning Seon-woo and going to another country. Misha seemed to have noticed that too. “Then, how about coming with your younger brother? We’ll help you grow beyond the current Seon-Hyeon Guild. In fact, it is because of the Korean government those Korean guilds, which can grow further, have stopped at this level. They want to wield the Awakened people to their liking. But look at Russia. We don’t do that here.” Misha said in a soft voice. “There will be no political pressure or disadvantage.” Then, they presented what they could give. “We will reduce the tax you have to pay when clearing a dungeon by 10%. Monster by-products are purchased first by the government and will be purchased at a price higher than the list price. Apart from that, we can give you territories and buildings worth tens of billions in Korean money.” If it wasn’t Hyeon-woo, it was a condition that would attract him quite a bit. In the meantime, the other party who had been away for a while returned. Ga-jun grumbled and was shaking his collar, while Do-jin confidently walked in with a calm expression. Behind him, Seon-woo was making a disapproving expression. When he told them to stop fighting, it seemed like they had sorted out their ranks somewhere. “What is this?” Ga-jun, who found Misha, said with a stern expression. “Hello. My name is Misha from the Russian Awakened Authority.” In comparison, Misha was still relaxed. However, in the action that followed, the facial expression was bound to become subtle. Do-jin lifted Hyeon-woo and put him in another seat, and Seon-woo sat in between them. Seon-woo’s persona as a Brocom [1] was famous, but why were others saying that? Misha watched him lightly. She thought that, and soon she realized one thing. ‘A person doesn’t discriminate between genders.” The work that came out of duty was fun. “I’m here because of scouting. There are no other bad purposes.” As she raised her hands and spoke, the momentum softened a little. “I’ll leave for today. But think about it. That’s a good deal, right?” Misha winked at her and got up on the spot. “Next time, I hope Seon-woo can talk with us.” After that, she left without hesitation. “What did you talk about?” In response to Seon-woo’s question, Hyeon-woo told everything he had heard. “Phew. Aren’t the conditions good?” Hearing everything, Ga-jun exclaimed in exclamation. “I’m not saying you’re going to make a decision and push them away. Ha, I would do it if I were you... You aren’t a tamer to begin with.” He tamed a dragon. The dragon even had a history of dealing with several S-class Awakeners. This was enough for him to be likable. And Russia was not the only country that had such thoughts. Starting with Russia, several countries tried to attract Hyeon-woo by presenting conditions. Do-jin, who had been watching without saying anything, suddenly asked Hyeon-woo one day. “Are you going to another country?” “No.” Why were they both talking like this today? Hyeon-woo gave a steady answer even though he had a troubled expression on his face. “I’m fine if you did.” To Hyeon-woo, Do-jin gave an unexpected answer. “What are you talking about?” “Because I’ll follow you wherever you go. Do whatever you want.” “What?” Why did he want to follow him? Hyeon-woo blinked his eyes with a surprised expression. “How is Hyung’s guild doing? Weren’t you trying to grow the size these days?” “That’s true. But I value you more.” His heart ticked at Do-jin’s words. “So, wherever you go, don’t leave me alone.” He didn’t know what to answer. Hyeon-woo scratched his chest with his fingers and looked down. Still, the tickling sensation did not go away. Do-jin looked at Hyeon-woo and reached out to stroke his head. The large hand gently stroking his hair felt good. It was at that moment he realized. This person also opened the door and came inside his territory. Until now, Seon-woo was the only person he treasured the most. But now, Do-jin also falls into that category. “I will definitely tell you when I go somewhere.” “Okay.” Do-jin, who smiled softly, came closer. It seemed that he could hear the sound of his heart growing louder and louder. The moment he closed his eyes involuntarily at the beating of his heart, he heard another voice. “What are you doing here?” It was Ga-jun. “We were supposed to go to the art gallery in the afternoon.” That guy was a travel fanatic. Unknowingly, his fists gathered with strength. Somehow he felt like he had missed a good opportunity. “Ji Seon-woo?” “He’s inside.” “Okay? Hurry up and bring him. If you leave him behind, he’ll get angry.” In the first place, couldn’t he just go to art galleries by himself? But he definitely wanted to go with everyone. Hyeon-woo grumbled and went inside to call Seon-woo. “You don’t notice.” Do-jin said to Ga-jun in a voice full of annoyance. “What did I do?” Ga-jun replied with a smirk. “You didn’t notice. If you noticed, you wouldn’t do that.” It was said that he knew and ruined it. “I guess you haven’t been hit yet.” “How to elevate yourself by winning.” Ga-jun raised his head and faced Do-jin. A shadow began to sway under Do-jin’s feet, and Ga-jun put his hand in his pocket. “You’ll know to fight again.” “The results won’t change.” “You can only know when you try.” Ga-jun listened to the end to not lose. “I wish they would both go off on their own.” Seon-woo, who came out of the room before he knew it, intervened between them. It seemed that Hyeon-woo hadn’t come out yet because he was taking care of the monsters. A strange atmosphere formed between the three.

58. Upon arriving in front of the officiating NPC at the innermost part of the ceremony hall, a dialogue script appeared. [Father Gregorio: On such a beautiful day, the bride and groom walk forward to a happy future in front of us.] [Father Gregorio: The bride and groom promise to do their best for each other at any time, in difficult or sad, happy or joyful times] [Father Gregorio: Do you swear to cherish and love each other sincerely as you do now?] I was watching the lines while drinking cola, and I found a system message above the chat window. —----- 〈System〉 > ‘Yes(Formal)’ > ‘yes(Informal)’ > ‘I swear.’ *Please choose one of the options in the chat window. —----- ‘I swear’ is too long and ‘Yes(Formal)’ requires holding down the shift key, so I apathetically chose the simplest one. [All] I’m sleepy: yes(Informal) [All] Sleepy Owner: Yes, yes, yes, yes [All] Sleepy Owner: Yes [All] Sleepy Owner: I swear [All] Drink some water: what the ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Harn: Are you just really nervous or hysterical? [Father Gregorio: I heard the answer of the groom and the bride well.] [Father Gregorio: I’m now ending the ceremony by blessing the future of the two.] [Father Gregorio: Groom I’m Sleepy, Bride Sleepy Owner, I wish you both happiness.] The large golden bell behind the cherry blossoms rang, NPCs swayed in happiness and firecrackers exploded in the sky. At the same time, system messages came pouring in. Achievement obtained! Achievement: 1st Wedding Anniversary! Family Tab has been activated! Title has been added. Marriage-only buff items, ‘wedding ring’ and ‘necklace’ have been provided. An additional buff is applied when equipped with both. When I opened the inventory, it actually contained a ring and a necklace. ‘Damage and experience buff? That’s nice.’ The buff was better than expected, so I put it on right away. As for the Title, as soon as I received it, it automatically activated. It was a sign that the buff for the items had been applied. [All] Sleepy Owner: Hyung hyung [All] Sleepy Owner: Change the title too! Yoo Chae urged me to change his title to ‘Sleepy’s Bride’. Then am I the ‘Sleepy Owner’s groom’? ah… It’s a bit… [All] TheHunter: Is it over now?? [All] Bright Clouds: Victory first! [All] TheHunter: Crazy kid [All] Drink some water: go out and do it [All] Drink some water: ?? [All] Drink some water: To fight now? [All] Harn: If u get out of here once [All] Harn: you can’t come back [All] Manaolingnam: Kill the healer first~ [All] Crazy Hunting Friend: Dirty long distance guys [All] Let’s do this: no ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ hold onㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Park Seungjin99: Drinking potions? [All] Seasoned Crab Soup: Potions are in the sacred city of Daejeon [All] Staric: I have to look for it. [All] Melody Chord: No, why even us;; [All] Unyum: ㅋㅋㅋ [All] Geomhee: Originally, is there something like this after the wedding? [All] Soeso: Omg crazy, so surprised [All] I’m getting lazy: Gasp Berserker; hold on The attendees, who had been enduring the PVP with minimal courtesy, started kicking and fighting among themselves as soon as the wedding ceremony was over. Staring at the scene with a sense of bewilderment, I avoided the flying white light arrow with my evasion skill. [All] College of Pure Medicine: Ah — —; [All] College of Pure Medicine: How are you avoiding it? [All] College of Pure Medicine: How??? What the heck is going on in RPG games nowadays? I tried to ignore the whole situation because it was annoying to deal with. [All] Sleepy Owner: Hyung.. [All] Sleepy Owner: you don’t like the title? ㅜ [All] I’m sleepy: :ㅋㅋㅋㅋit’s all about skills [All] I’m sleepy: you can do it with more effort ^^ I can’t ignore it. I have to deal with it. This guy who’s pretending to be innocent has such nice timing too. [All] Sleepy Owner: Hyung’s title.. Yoo Chae, who keeps showing lingering regret for not having me wear the title that he wants, pretended to be oblivious while casually intervening in the battlefield. I also tried hard to attack, controlling the skills that flew here and there. [All] I’ll take care of you: No, it’s complicated because there are two of them. [All] Mocha Bread: he still has Dark Mage skills [All] Harn: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] I’m sleepy: What are you guys talking about? There were so many summoned people around the Summoner, Mocha Bread, that it was not easy to move. Indeed, along with the spearman, Summoners seem to be the easiest and strongest job to raise. [All] I’m getting lazy: save me [All] I’m getting lazy: Why are you doing this to me ㅠㅠ [All] Unyum: originally.. [All] Unyum: Berserkers can only hit one person at a timeㅎㅎ [All] Gugusudal: It’s mean ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Manaolingnam: Can’t see who’s hitting; Quarreung! Qooong! Kwajik! Various effects such as the ground cracking, flames spreading, and lightning strikes flashed along with the sound effect of each skill. Since nearly 30 users were doing PVP in a small room, it was not easy to tell where the skills were coming from. [All] Harn: Everyone [All] Harn: It’s nice to fight among ourselves [All] Harn: Shouldn’t married people be handing out congratulatory bread instead of hitting people?? [All] Drink some water: Oh? [All] I’ll take care of you: good luck [All] Melody Chord: fr [All] Melody Chord: I want to be next to the groom ㅋㅋㅋ [All] Soeso: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋme tooㅋㅋ [All] Unyum: I’m on the bride’s side haha [All] Staric: I almost took out the congratulatory money haha [All] Seasoned Crab sauce: Harn-nim Thinking Crazy [All] Seasoned Crab Sauce: Mr. Harvard? [All] Park Seungjin99: You are like a bird The people who had been fighting together all of a sudden came to a halt and focused their attention on Yoo Chae. Spotting Yoo Chae standing alone behind me, I hurriedly fully blocked him and chatted with the rest. [All] I’m sleepy: Dagul is Evan? [All] Mocha Bread: keuk keuk.. [All] Mocha Bread: Brother, should we take a picture? [All] TheHunter: A couple? go away [All] Drink some water: this is your chance [All] Drink some water: If you hand over Yoo Chae, I’ll let you off the hook [All] Melody Chord: Time of Revenge^^* [All] Unyum: I heard that there’s Early Evening Gilma’s sub-account here.. Crazy, what kind of concept is this? I was conflicted for a moment when I glanced at Yoo Chae’s sub character who remained quiet, trying to figure out what he’s thinking. No matter if it’s a game, a groom who abandons his newly married bride and runs away... honestly, isn’t it too trash? While I was thinking about it, They rushed in first impatiently. ‘Wait, you’re attacking me with that stamina??’ In the chaos, the character must have been beaten several times and it was already in a state where only half of the health was left. I easily avoided his flying skills. It’s the same with College of Pure Medicine, I don’t know why this sharp shooter keeps targeting me. Without the need to use a particularly complicated combo, I used the W skill with the highest damage along with the restraint skill. He eventually couldn’t stand the lag and collapsed to death. [All] It takes a relay: Gasp [All] Drink some water: What are you doing..?? [All] Park Seungjin99: Bird seems to be him.. [All] I’m getting lazy: Oh, actually, I’m going to deal with it for the first time ;; [All] Melody Chord: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ [All] College of Pure Medicine: the fucking deal of Dark mage is strange [All] I’m getting lazy: fr... It’s a little strange, isn’t it? [All] I’m getting lazy: Is it really Sleepy-nim? [All] I’m sleepy: No, why do you keep hitting me? [All] Harn: There are people from other guilds too;; [All] Harn: It’s embarrassing [All] Drink some water. So... I was able to kill ‘I’m getting lazy’, who unexpectedly attacked, but other people were a problem. Even with Harn as a healer, Water as a tank, and Dorahee as a buffer, I wouldn’t be able to win even if I died and reawakened. ‘Is running away the answer?’ Being a groom to the bride, I don’t even know if I should take care of Yoo Chae, who’s better than me anyway. It was the time to try and use the movement scroll to quickly escape while giving up. Boom, bang! The door to the Church, which had been tightly shut, was aggressively thrown open, and a familiar figure appeared. A character wearing a black robe with a golden chain around his waist. It was Yoo Chae. [All] Drink some water: ??? [All] TheHunter: Huh? [All] Harn: How did Gilma-nim come out? [All] Crazy Hunting Friend: I must have written a wedding invitation Yoo Chae, ignoring all the chatting of the guild members who were hiding, started swinging the chain vigorously. [All] Drink some water: Ah [All] Unyum: ????? [All] I’ll take care of you: No fucking way [All] Mocha Bread: ?? [All] Harn: Kyaa~ [All] Staric: omg [All] Bright Clouds: Yes fㅅcking way [All] Soeso: What did he just hit us with that everyone just died right away?;; Excluding a few who had high defense against tremendous damage or used evasion skills quickly, they were swept away by the chain. Within two minutes of arriving at the ceremony, Yoo Chae, who had killed half of the attendees or made them groggy(1), came to me. [All] Yoo Chae: Hyung, Party [All] I’m sleepy: what is it? [All] I’m sleepy: how did you get in here? As soon as I opened the party recruitment window and entered the party, he answered back. [Party] Yoo Chae: Two com [Party] Yoo Chae: A request for solidarity When I put in a request for solidarity, which I had done while running dragon raids together in the past, Yoo Chae came closer and wrapped his arms around my waist. Then, the chain was wrapped around a pole in the distance, piercing through the door at once. [All] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋ [All] Yoo Chae: good bye Yoo Chae, who had sent his last greeting, used the movement scroll while holding me. As Yoo Chae and I disappeared side by side, the guild chat window and messages went wild. [Guild] Harn: What???? [Guild] TheHunter: Hey, those two are going at it; [Guild] Drink some water: fk That’s funny ㅋㅋ [Guild] This is Dorahee: Romantic hahaㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Staric: What a gay ending ㅋㅋ [Party] I’m getting lazy: gay ending fk [Guild] Seasoned Crab Sauce: It seems like the groom ran off with another man after leaving his bride ㅋㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Manaolingnam: Keikㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Bright Clouds: Ah, fk I should have filmed a video of this [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ —-------- [Soeso: What are you doing?] [Soeso: Your wife is dead cold right now] [Soeso: Where are you going on the day of your wedding while cheating with a guy?ㅋㅋㅋ] —-------- [Melody Chord: fr It’s beyond imagination] [Melody Chord: Thank you for cheating on your wedding day~] —------ Ah, crazy. Things happened so quickly that I couldn’t grasp the situation properly. I couldn’t even ask what he was doing and we arrived at the Pherocco Lighthouse, belatedly confirming that Yoo Chae’s sub account was already logged out. When the heck did you turn off the sub character and come back to your main character? [Party] I’m Sleepy: You turned on the main account for a while now? [Party] Yoo Chae: yea ㅋㅋ [Party] Yoo Chae: I thought those bastards were going to fuck with our ceremony. [Party] Yoo Chae: But I came quickly, right? You expected that and brought the main character? “This asshole is for real?” I really couldn’t help but laugh when I thought about it. I leaned back against the chair with my mouth covered, and after thinking for a while, I put my hand on the keyboard again. [Party] I’m sleepy: Kim Yoo-chae [Party] Yoo Chae: Yes?

57. The wedding starts at 8:00 PM, an hour later. Yoo Chae, in a better mood than ever, was spinning around while holding the bouquet I made for him. [Party] Sleepy’s Owner: Hyung Hyung [Party] Sleepy’s Owner: It’s pretty! [Party] I’m sleepy: yeah [Party] Sleepy Owner: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Drink some water: Excited.. [Party] TheHunter: omg [Party] Haerun: Gilma-nim seems so excited for this: [Party] Sleepy’s Owner: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Staric: Are you drunk? Before the wedding, people who had free time gathered together and went to the dungeon to help level up Yoo Chae’s sub character account. [Party] TheHunter: It’s a wedding in game anyway [Party] TheHunter: Why do you like it so much? [Party] Sleepy’s Owner: You should try it too [Party] TheHunter: No that’s not right [Party] TheHunter: Sleepy-nim doesn’t look very happy [Party] Sleepy’s Owner: My Hyung is arrogant [Party] I’m sleepy: What are you talking about..? [Party] Drink some water: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Crazy Hunting Friend: Interesting omg omg [Party] Staric: Interesting ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Harn: Are you crazy? But quite intriguing ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Sleepy’s Owner: If you’re curious, you should do it too [Party] Sleepy’s Owner: But with Staric-nim, hmm? [Party] TheHunter: ?? [Party] Drink some water: It’s very natural to pair with someone else; [Party] Staric: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Staric: Wanna? [Party] TheHunter: What the hell; [Party] TheHunter: Why would you marry a man? [Party] Staric: ㅠㅠ [Party] Crazy Hunting Friend: Then with me? haha [Party] TheHunter: I’m too young [Party] Staric: fk That’s a bit tricky ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] I’m sleepy: How old is Hunter-nim? [Party] TheHunter: I’m 25 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] TheHunter: Class starts next week ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] I’m sleepy: Oh mine too [Party] I’m sleepy: I’m 24 ㅋㅋ It’s been a long time since I met a user of a similar age, probably because I didn’t talk about my age. I was happy to meet a college student like me after looking at Yoo Chae, who was on leave of absence, and Water, who goes to work. [Party] TheHunter: What Major is Sleepy-nim? [Party] Sleepy’s Owner: ? [Party] I’m sleepy: I’m architecture ㅋㅋ [Party] Sleepy’s Owner: ?? [Party] TheHunter: Damn omg; [Party] TheHunter: It’s out of my leagueㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Party] I’m sleepy: It’s really difficult ㅋㅋㅋ [Party] TheHunter: Is it wrong? [Party] Sleepy’s Owner: ??? [Party] Sleepy’s Owner: ㅋㅋ what are you two doing? Yoo Chae, who could see me obviously getting close to others, intervened like a bolt out of nowhere. ‘I heard that even a dog can get really jealous if your attention is somewhere else.’ The more I look at it, the more it resembles a puppy trying to monopolize the owner’s attention. You can’t ask a kid who doesn’t like to talk about private things when you’re in front of everyone... I sighed and changed the topic of conversation appropriately. [Party] I’m sleepy: Since I’m getting married [Party] I’m sleepy: but I don’t know because I’m married for the first time [Party] I’m sleepy: Does this start automatically at 8 o’clock? [Party] Drink some water: 10 minutes before that, go to the cathedral [Party] Drink some water: and talk to NPC one more time [Party] Harn: I tried it with a sub account too [Party] Harn: It’s easier than I thought, and it’s over soon ㅋㅋㅋ [Party] Harn: Anything particularly difficult? If you try it, you will know [Party] I’m sleepy: ok ok [Party] I’m sleepy: Kim Yoo-chae, come here [Party] I’m sleepy: It’s about 50 minutes, so I should be there in advance [Party] Sleepy’s Owner: Yes ㅎㅡㅎ! [Party] Staric: Like going for a dog walk... [Party] Harn: I’m not surprised anymore [Party] I’m sleepy: Guys, we’ll go to the cathedral first [Party] Drink some water: okay See you later [Party] Staric: bye bye bye [Party] Harn: bye bye After leaving the group party and forming a separate party with Yoo Chae, I immediately used the scroll item. *** [Guild] Bright Clouds: Come in first and wait for entry ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Crazy Hunting Friend: Ah, why did the bride and groom enter so late~ [Guild] Mocha Bread: I heard that you can use the skill here, but is it for real?? [Guild] Harn: yeah [Guild] Harn: Because it’s applied to the field, it’s good [Guild] Harn: Because it is applied to the field, it is also possible to get PVPㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] TheHunter: ? [Guild] Park Seung-jin 99: Gosh, that’s true [Guild] TheHunter: Why are you hitting me? fk Wanna try it? [Guild] Staric: Someone hit our hunter— — [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Just sit next to me and test it ㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Park Seung-jin99: No, I apologized, but you’re taking revenge for this;; [Guild] Drink some water: You haven’t even gotten married yet, so why are you fighting? fk ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Monster born from capitalism: Let’s bet [Guild] I’m getting lazy: What’s the bet? [Guild] Manaolingnam: Guild members fighting back and forth on the wedding day [Guild] Manaolingnam: What will Gilma do? [Guild] Bright Clouds: reduce contribution, 1000 gold [Guild] Harn: No, Kill them directly with his main character, 1000 gold [Guild] Gugusudal: Killing with the sub character, me too ㅋㅋㅋㅋ [Guild] Harn: Rice Cake [1- soaring, plummeting] let’s go —---- [Melody Chord: Nim Nim Nim ㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [Melody Chord: How are you doing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ] [Melody Chord: I told this to the guild, and our guild members said they wanted to come too, is that okay?] [Melody Chord: Actually, everyone came] —-------- [Guild] TheHunter: Gasp crazy crazy [Guild] TheHunter: Geomhee is here!! [Guild] The Hunter: What? [Guild] Staric: It’s a mess —----- [Melody Chord: Gilma-nim came here because she was curious tooㅋㅋㅋ] —-------- [Soeso: When does it start?] [Soeso: it’s far away from here, but why are there a lot of Redemption guild members?] [Soeso: I brought some guild members because I was afraid it would feel awkward without someone, but it was a worry for nought ;;;] [Soeso: Are they all acquaintances of Early Evening’s Gilma?] [Soeso: He’s not the type to have acquaintances] —------ [University of Pure Medicine: Excuse me, Nim] [University of Pure Medicine: The members of your guild are fucking fighting here] [University of Pure Medicine: What do you want me to do? ] —----- “So messed up...……….” Waiting in front of the entrance door until noon, I felt my head throb from the flood of guild chatting and messages. Like me, he also would be able to see all of the guild chatting, but Yoo Chae didn’t seem to care one bit and showed a wide smiley expression filled with emotion. [Party] Sleepy’s Owner: Isn’t this outfit so pretty? Currently, my character and Yoo Chae’s sub account are wearing matching white tuxedos and dresses. It was an event item that could only be worn during a wedding ceremony with the outfit I had reserved the other day. It definitely suited her as she pulled her long brown hair back into a ponytail and held up the shiny yellow bouquet I had made for her. [Party] Sleepy’s Owner: with that white tuxedo [Party] Sleepy’s Owner: We really have a matching couples look, right? [Party] I’m sleepy: yeah I don’t particularly enjoy matching outfits in games, but it’s a little hard for me to immediately reject such an excited look, so I gave a rough answer. As we were chatting, a system message popped up in the center of the screen. The wedding has started. Please enter through the door. [Party] I’m Sleepy: let’s go in Being a male, I open the door first and move in together. When there was a request for gesture, Yoo Chae hesitated and accepted the request and said shyly. [Party] Sleepy Owner: Hyung [Party] Sleepy Owner: I’m so happy >-< What’s up? I’m happy with everything too. Laughing, I opened the door. Kiiik. The large, white door opened slowly on both sides, revealing the interior of the dining hall, where the warm sunlight shone. When Yoo Chae and I appeared, a bell rang and a moderately romantic BGM was played calmly. [All] Manaolingnam: Whoaaㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Drink some water: both are pretty~~ ㅋ [All] Staric: Wow, for real though ㅋㅋㅋ [All] Seasoned crab sauce: Yes, I’m seeing a wedding for the first time, but I’m a little embarrassed [All] Harn: ㅊㅊㅊㅊㅊㅊㅊ[2- Congrats]~~~!!! [All] Soeso: Ehh my eyes [All] Park Seungjin99: The bride is so pretty^^7 [All] Melody Chord: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ [All] Mocha Bread: Gilma-nim, how serious are you? [All] Let’s do it: Gilma-nim seems to be crazy about marriage [All] Bright Clouds: Would you be completely immersed in marrying Sleepy-nim? [All] TheHunter: Taking fucking screenshots [All] TheHunter: No matter how many you take [All] TheHunter: it’s amazing [All] This is Dorahee: Congratulations~ heh [All] Unyum: Congratulations ㅋㅋㅋㅋ While walking to the NPC across the ceremony hall decorated with pure white flowers and elegant tulle, the people who filled the guest seats were chatting loudly with cheering and emotional expressions. --- Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor: Meimei Support on Kofi: Chapter 58, 59, 60 Chapter 61, 62, 63, 64 HM: Whoa… That’s choatic lol And yes.
