0. Prologue I’m good at playing video games. This was certain. I have always been in the top 1% since elementary school, the day where I knew nothing about gaming, until now. Whatever game it was. But on top of that, there was this bastard, who was always above me like a fly. It was four months ago that I felt that reality deeply. “What the fuck!” I slammed the keyboard, while spouting curses. An expensive gaming keyboard flashed with colorful lights. “I’m losing this again, son of a…” The enemy team’s Jungler was attacking the base and thrashing the Nexus relentlessly. Being already dead, I could only stare at the grayed-out screen with anger just when the enemy team’s chat suddenly popped up in red text. [All] LVS gamgack(Serrata): JD[2] [All] LVS gamgack(Serrata): right? [All] LVS gamgack(Serrata): haha [All] Hunsu is blocked(Luna): lololol [All] That’s Geminion(Umpa): kya sweet win What? Jungler’s difference? Both of my eyes started to burn hot. No, damn it… Do professionals start talking about Jungler’s differences after winning a jungler’s fight against normal users? Of course, I would too! If I were that Jungler, I could have made a lot of money as a pro, but would someone like him be doing this here? Does that bastard really have no conscience? “Hey, it’s really annoying…” The game promptly ended without a hitch. The screen changed and the score window appeared. The amount of damage I dealt was greater than those that were in the other team, Jungler. You fucking bastards……. [LVS gamgack: Look here Sleepy-nim] [LVS gamgack: By any chance] As I was about to turn off the chat window and sighed, the enemy team, Jungler, started chatting with me. However, I was not interested about what was going on, so I quickly pressed the exit button. “Huu………….” If I start the next game in this state, I don’t think I’ll be able to concentrate properly, so just as I was about to turn off the game, a yellow light came on in the friend list window. “What?” After clicking on it, it turned out to be a friend request from the enemy team’s Jungler. It was a friend request from a famous person, who was a popular pro gamer, known to be amazingly good at games, and has a good face that attracts fans wherever he goes but all it did was make my forehead wrinkle horribly. “How many times has this been already?” It doesn’t matter how good your opponent is. The important thing is that this guy was from the enemy team, Jungler, and he was the one who has given me multiple humiliating defeats every time we’ve met up until now. I raised the corners of my mouth, laughing, and pressed the mouse button. [Refuse] Did you think that if you just send a friend request to anyone, that they would be excited to receive it? While I was at it, I thought for a while and did something that I wouldn’t normally do before. Like putting that bastard on the block list right away. ‘Now I feel a little better.’ The LVS team belonged to that Jungler. An opponent that I have met dozens of times so far but have never been defeated. Unlike me who has spent a thousand days and nights stuck in the Grand Master rank and can hardly go up, he took the top Challenger rank in two weeks as soon as the new season started and currently, he went back and forth between the top rankings. If it weren’t for the shortage of people in the Celestial Grand Master and Challenger tiers, I wouldn’t have met that monster as an enemy. Apparently, my position is the same as that Jungler guy, so every time we ran into each other, we met as an enemy. In the end, whenever I met him, I felt like crying since I had to play the game while realizing just how high and thick the walls dividing the line between what pro gamers were. Why not dodge[1]? My pride didn’t allow it. I took a bottle of water from the refrigerator, took a sip of cold water, and exhaled a deep breath. To be honest, the reason I’m taking part in this was clearly to defeat that bastard. Since day one, after playing games with me for some time, that person has been giving me a friend request, like it’s some kinda mockery. With how stressed I was, one day I even thought that I dreamed that I received a friend request sent by fate with a message saying, ‘Shall I teach you how to defeat that Jungler?’ Even though it was a dream, it made me really angry. “...done. And done.” As I recalled the tremendous insults I had received from the games in the past, I felt like something snapped in my head, and a huge hit came rushing in. As the years go by, my age has reached 24, and it was pretty funny to think that I would still be genuinely passionate about the game. After I returned to my seat, I looked at the monitor screen for a moment. HOL. Its full name was Hero of Legends. It was undoubtedly the No. 1 online game in name, and it was a famous AOS game that even held huge competitions around the world. In the sense that being a popular professional in a game like this will make you a lot of money. ‘Well, after the last world championship ended, I haven’t been active since then.’ It sounds like I was going to take a break from it, but anyway. It was such a great game and there were many users. I too was a top 0.01% player in such a game, but it felt completely meaningless. It was a game that I have been holding on to for a while because of one lingering attachment. I closed then opened my eyes slowly, and without hesitation, I turned off the game and deleted it. School will start next week anyway. There were a lot of things to learn again since I need to return back to school. It was obvious that I wouldn’t have the time to play the game. *** My expectations were somewhat correct. After returning to school and starting to work as a part-timer, I continued to live a life of not having enough time to sleep, let alone play games. But that was only during the semester. When the vacation came back, a lot of time was empty. I am working part-time, but since I set that part-time job according to the timetable during my school time, I only had to go there three or five hours a week and it was over. During the first week of vacation, I was busy drinking with my classmates, but as soon as two weeks passed, I got bored and started struggling to crawl towards the corner of the room where the computer was located. “Let’s play a game.” The words that came out of my mouth reflexively reminded me of HOL. After I deleted it, even if I went to a PC room with my friends, it has been a while since I had access to the account that was an unconditional sub account, and the account I usually use has been accumulating dust for a long time. “What to do………” While muttering, I steadily opened the Internet window. Just when I put my hand on the keyboard to check the bulletin board to see what the situation was these days, I saw a familiar word in the real-time search term. [Zenoris] It was an MMORPG that a lot of people these days rated as a fun game. The mouse went to the real-time search. There was a popularity rush because of a new job. Dark mage? What’s with a name like that? I naturally clicked on the YouTube video. On the screen, a character who appeared to be about 5-feet tall was holding a staff with a pointed tip and using various skills. “Hmm…...” Looking at the video and skill description calmly, I licked my lips. It didn’t even miss a decent deal with a normal control. The skill combo was tight. ‘If the skill is even slightly out of order, only about 70% of the original damage will be dealt, and more mana is drained, right? The range is also drastically reduced.’ Everyone liked it as it was a new job, but in the end, it was obvious that there would be fewer than one user who could properly utilize that job. Clicking my tongue, I began to install Zenoris. Ironically, the fact that it was terribly difficult has set a fire in my heart. “Well, let’s play it a little bit then……” Even though no one was listening, I randomly made an excuse and waited patiently for the gradually increasing installation gauge to finish.

9. ‘You really look like an herbivore [1].’ Ga-jun tapped his chin with his finger. Then, a low voice came from his mouth. “Hey.” Hyeon-woo doubted his ears for a moment. Then, just in case, he looked around. There was only the one teleporter who had fainted, and two guild members who were guarding the door from a distance. Other than that, the only people in this space were Ga-jun and the First-Generation missing person. “It’s me.” The First-Generation missing person revealed himself by saying this while glaring at Ga-jun. Yes, cute fangs, he wasn’t a threat at all. “Ha?” Amazing. Ga-jun looked down at the First-Generation missing person with an absurd expression. What did this little thing say just now? “Do you like being tortured?” The First-Generation missing person said with a gentle smile. “I think at least you like it? Let me know if you don’t.” The First-Generation missing person rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists. Then there was the sound of pounding like a beating heart. At the same time, Do Ga-jun felt a burning pain in his stomach. “Cough!” Ga-jun coughed and collapsed on the spot. What? What just happened? It was a pain that seemed as if it was going to crush my organs. He endured the pain and looked up to see the gentle face he thought was like a herbivore. Hyeon-woo was smiling. What is this bastard talking about? Hyeon-woo felt the heat rising in his head as he looked at the person, who had casually threatened him a while ago. It’s been a long time since I’ve been this angry. In the Demon Realm, there was no one who would attack me. So, it is a fresh experience fighting someone after a long time. Maybe I should repay the person who gave me this new experience? Hyeon-woo thought as he clenched his fists and hit his stomach vigorously. Still, the thought that murder was not allowed in the modern world remained, so he only beat him to the point of near death. The man’s tall body became lower than that of Hyeon-woo, as he kept coughing. Hyeon-woo asked while growling. “It hurts, doesn’t it?” The man immediately moved without an answer. He was falling like water, until his collapsed body immediately stood up straight. The man moved a safe distance from the First-Generation missing person and sprayed poison. He was a skilled person, although it didn’t seem like it. “You can use poison?” “Fuck! Who used poison!” The poison became stronger. Unfortunately for the man, Hyeon-woo had a body that was resistant to a lot of poison. In addition, at the beginning of his trip to the Demon Realm, he suffered from so much poison that he eventually started to hate it so much. Suddenly, his fists were filled with emotion. Swing! His fists swung with a terrifying sound, but the man escaped it! “Wow, are you avoiding this?” Normally, it is right to avoid a hit after seeing it. But why did you avoid it in advance? It is as if I have met a guy with a taste to get hit. Hyeon-woo clenched his fists, as he popped his neck left and right. Then, as soon as Hyeon-woo swung his leg through the air, the force of the blow struck the man. The man was knocked onto the wall, and the impact broke the wall with him. But leaving him as he was, would be no fun. Hyeon-woo revealed his teeth and laughed like a bloodthirsty animal. The man pulled himself out of the wall through which he had broken through, revealing an alleyway behind it. Then, he saw the man running out into the street where the light was pouring out. Hyeon-woo quickly followed behind in flight and grabbed his back. “Gotcha.” Thud! It sounded unbelievable that this weak person was crushing people. “Fuck!” Ga-jun was affected by the poison, so even if Ga-jun tried to counterattack, it wouldn’t be easy. There was already a big difference in skill between Hyeon-woo and the man. “Kaaakk!” Just then, a passerby screamed. Hyeon-woo woke up from his senses by the sound, although late, and lifted his head. Meanwhile the man twisted his body and escaped. Then he quickly kicked off the wall of a nearby building and climbed up. But if he could do it, Hyeon-woo could too. Hyeon-woo quickly pulled himself up and floated in the air. “Why are you running away?” “Fuck, what are you!” Teh. The man spat out blood. “What do you know about me?” “The First-Generation missing person.” “That’s right.” “But how can you be this strong? The second and third generations are not this different!” How do I know? Hyeon-woo tilted his head and rolled his eyes. “Well, that’s not something I decided. Let’s beat you a little bit more, what do you say?” As soon as the words were uttered, the man jumped to the next building. There was quite a bit of distance, but he was not hesitant to move quickly. Hyeon-woo felt his heart beating as he ran after him. He remembered the excitement he felt when he first visited the department store. But this feeling was a bit different from that. It was the intense emotions he felt while hunting in the Demon Realm. “Haha!” Laughter erupted from his throat. Hyeon-woo moved quickly to catch that man again. “Fu-!” The man kicked Hyeon-woo and spoke. “ck!” He immediately rolled over and tried to grab Hyeon-woo’s foot, but it didn’t work. Hyeon-woo made a loud sound as he kicked him again. Hyeon-woo raised his finger and tapped his forehead. “What did you say earlier? Rip your nails.” Hyeon-woo pulled off the man’s leather gloves and threw them. “Did you say that you want your cornea removed?” It seems that he’s not scared. Do you know who your opponent is before saying things like that? Hyeon-woo decided to give a small lesson to this foolish man. “Damn it! If it’s that difficult, I can choose for you too.” His raised eyes were still fierce. Oh, I might lose it. There was a person like this in the Demon Realm. He broke his body while I was attacking him, and he tried to attack me even by crawling. I was annoyed by that, so I beat him a little more, but he didn’t give in. So, what did I do? I ended up putting my hands on the man’s neck. That’s right, I was going to kill you. ‘But no.’ Small lessons should be limited to being small lessons. He must not forget that this was not the Demon Realm. Hyeon-woo withdrew his hand with a sad expression. Then, he slapped the man on the forehead with his palm. The man he was holding onto fell on his back, and his nose bled. His already blood-stained face became even more messed up. “You, what’s your name?” The man, the poisoner, strained his voice and asked. Hyeon-woo wondered if he should let it go like this but scratched his head and answered. “Hyeon-woo.” “Are all of the first-generation people as strong as you?” “No.” Strong or whatever, the first generation was only left with Hyeon-woo. So, there was no one to measure his strength with. “Damn it, thank god.” “Stop cursing.” When Hyeon-woo raised his hand again, Do Ga-jun’s mouth closed. What do I do with this? There was a commotion on the ground it seems. Two people flew over the buildings and had been running around wildly. Hyeon-woo scratched his head and looked back at the poisoner. “What are you going to do about this?” “What?” As Hyeon-woo pointed down, the poisoner wrinkled his face. “Can you fix it, right?” Then, as he waved his fist, the poisoner nodded his head. It wasn’t even an exercising distance, but it was refreshing to move after a while. Hyeon-woo wiped the sweat, that wasn’t even there to begin with, and stretched himself comfortably. “It’s been awhile since I’ve loosened up my body.” After hearing those words, the poison-man, who was lying on his background, gritted his teeth. Hyeon-woo, who approached him and sat down right in front of him, said with a smirk. “Ah, by the way, are you going to keep this secret until you go to the grave?” “Where is that?” “It’s here. No?” Hyeon-woo clenched his fist and shook it. He slashed people up like a dog, but there was not a drop of blood on his hands. That was even more creepy. What the hell is this? Ga-jun sighed deeply. He came to catch the First-Generation returnee, and he was beaten. His body was trembling so much that it was hard to get up. “My name is Do Ga-jun. Remember.” “Why should I?” Ga-jun swallowed the curses that came up his throat. It was because he had just been swearing and had gotten one hit from him in return. Even though that fist was small, it was still dangerous. That’s right, the goal stood shaky. After sitting idly for a while, Ga-jun struggled to get up. His legs were trembling so much that unless he put his hands on the ground, he could barely get up. Ga-jun slowly stood up with a blood-stained face and trembling hands. So, this is what it feels like to taste death. ‘It looks like my organs are a bit damaged.’ He felt like he was going to vomit blood even if he was vigilant then. ‘I didn’t get hit like this when I was fighting Ji Seon-woo.’ Ga-jun felt like a dog. Ga-jun, who was tidying up his clothes, suddenly felt Hyeon-woo’s gaze and said sarcastically. “Why do you want to beat me more?” “No.” Hyeon-woo answered briefly. “I’ve already beaten you to the brink of death. If you want more? I’ll give it to you.” “No thanks.” The innocent-looking face felt frightening again. He might seem gentle, but with those deer antlers, if a deer had the urge to kill someone, the whole ecosystem would be destroyed. Ga-jun looked around. Then, he found the locked door to the roof and ripped it off. He had climbed up the wall when he came up, but he didn’t have the energy to go down the same way. As he was going down the stairs helplessly, Hyeon-woo was next to him. “You.” “What?” “Do you have any money with you?” “Yes.” “Then give it to me.” Now, you are ripping me off? Without a word, he handed the wallet to Hyeon-woo who returned it to Ga-jun after taking one bill worth 10,000 won. “This doesn’t make much difference though.” Hyeon-woo spoke calmly after folding the 10,000 won bill and putting it in his pocket. “Do you know the way?” “Isn’t it enough to know the guild name? The Seon-Hyeon Guild is far from here.” At those words, Hyeon-woo scratched the back of his head and stood back. “Does it take a lot of time?” “It’s really far away.” “Then take me there.” “What if you don’t like it there?” At those words, Hyeon-woo raised his fist. I don’t know why that little thing gets so violent every time I say something. Ga-jun is not someone who loses in violence either way. “I get it. I’ll take you.” It was Ga-jun, who raised his hand first in surrender. However, it was only an outward appearance. He had lost to Hyeon-woo a while ago, but this was only a one-on-one situation. — Translator’s note: [1] Do Ga-jun compares Hyeon-woo to an herbivore, which means that he was harmless or just looked harmless from his judgment. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine Proofread by HM HM: hmm… Ga-jun is the only one who knows his secret… for a while it seems… If anyone wants to be an editor, translator, or proofreader, contact through contact form.

7. That cheeky jerk, Seo Chan-young. Since he’s under the protection of Ji Seon-woo, he thinks he can do anything. He is a man who believes entirely in Ji Seon-woo, so he restrained himself by not sending any swear words. I’ve known that. Now, the tides have changed. So far, Ga-jun’s words have worked against the number one guild in Korea pretty well. No matter how much he had done on his part in the Korean civil war, even the commanding-general won’t last long when besieged by enemies. Ji Seon-woo knew that too. So, to some extent, he accepted the opinions of other guilds. But this time he didn’t try to give in– not a single bit. “Do you think there’s really something important about that person?” Do Ga-jun raised the corner of his lips and smiled. It was a mean looking laugh. Even though the Seon-Hyeon Guild was in a precarious situation like this, he still wanted to stab him more. If he didn’t accept his proposals through the formal route, there were always other ways to get through. “I guess I have to stay still just for a little bit longer.” The truth was progressing slowly while there were some who were pretending that it wasn’t. Even the Hunter Administration, a government agency, was pretending to not know of this. Then, why did they give the First-Generation missing person to only one guild’s hands? If you can’t do it yourself, then don’t. We’ll take care of it at a safer place. You should just move on about what you happened to do at that time. Meanwhile, Do Ga-jun came up with a new plan. Go round here, go round that way. After Hyeon-woo rolled on the living room carpet, he poked Kero, who was sleeping calmly. “Khuok!” When poked at its belly, it made a strange noise but did not wake up. Originally, he was a vigilant beast, but it looked like he was already sleeping in peace. While Hyeon-woo was teasing the innocent Kero, Seon-woo, who was sitting on the sofa looking at his Hyung with a happy face, asked. “Bored?” “Uh? No. I’m not really bored or anything!” He said so, but on his face was written that he was bored to death. He was just locked up in the house the whole time, so he didn’t have much to do. “Is there anything you want to do?” “What do you want to do?” Hyeon-woo was speechless for a moment. What do I want to do. In the early days of going to the Demon Realm, there were times when he was holding on to the things he wanted to do, but it was way back then. However, his memory of what he even wanted to do gradually faded. All that remained was about his one and only family, Seon-woo. Others were long gone since they had given up. “Shall we go shopping then?” Seon-woo asked calmly. “Can I really go out?” Hyeon-woo wasn’t stupid either. He had roughly guessed what situation Seon-woo was in. He was the one and only First-Generation missing person, and the Seon-Hyeon Guild had embraced him. It was roughly expected to be treated this way. “Is that something that can’t be done?” It wouldn’t be easy to talk about going out in such a situation. Hyeon-woo looked at Seon-woo with a worried expression. Seeing Hyeon-woo like that, Seon-woo laughed. “Hyung, do you know why I made a guild?” “Why did you make it?” “Because I realized it was easier to find Hyung with a group of people rather than with only myself. The Seon-Hyeon guild exists for Hyung. So, with the Seon-Hyeon guild by your side, Hyung can do whatever he wants. Hyung can do anything you want, even if you need something more than I can give too.” Hyeon-woo slowly blinked his eyes. Why was Seon-woo giving this much for his Hyung? He was an ugly Hyung, who had left him alone for 10 years. Tears felt like they were about to come out any second as he thought to himself. “Don’t cry, Hyung.” “I’m not crying?” “Unn. I see. Then, shall we go out, Hyung?” Hyeon-woo got up, rubbing the tip of his nose. “Okay, let’s go out! Where are we going to go?” This is my first outing with my amazing younger brother. If a disturbance appears, I will crush it! Hyeon-woo smiled as he faced his younger brother, thinking bloody thoughts. “Uwang!” When Hyeon-woo stood up, Kero stood up as if alerted from his seat with a whimper. I have to follow. Preparations for going out were over soon. There wasn’t much to prepare in the first place. It would be over if he just changed clothes that he had been wearing and was rolling around with. Hyeon-woo and Seon-woo, who walked side by side, got on the elevator. The number of floors gradually went down, and when they reached the first floor, the door opened. And Hyeon-woo blinked at the following scene without realizing it. The large first-floor hall was full of people. Each of them wore suits and were Awakened, carrying weapons. A familiar person approached them. It was the young man in the racing suit he saw last time, the Deputy Guild Leader, Chan-young. But today, he was wearing a suit like everyone else. Although there were dark bags under his eyes as if he was tired, he was still pretty handsome when dressed neatly. He wasn’t as good as Hyeon-woo’s younger brother, Seon-woo. Hyeon-woo had yet to see a better-looking person than Seon-woo. There was a non-human being, but Albert was a being he would never meet again, so it was a pass. “Good morning?” “Are all the preparations to go out all ready?” “It’s ready. The department stores have also been checked properly, and we have sent people to check them out in advance. It will be over by the time we arrive.” “Do it thoroughly.” “You wouldn’t have to worry.” After their conversation, Seon-woo turned to Hyeon-woo. Hyeon-woo then shrugged his shoulders and asked. “But what are these people around us?” “They’re just bodyguards.” “Bodyguards?” “It is dangerous for just the two of us to move, so a few people will be around us.” Seon-woo said that, but the number of people was quite large if that was supposed to be just a few. Moreover, although Seon-woo was not short of his own strength or anything, they were quite useful by their numbers. “Are you fine with it?” I thought it was just the two of us going out, but there are a lot more people than I thought. His eyes twinkled as he looked at Seon-woo, wondering if it would be better to go back to their house and roll around. He couldn’t go back there now that the preparations were already done. “It’s fine.” In the end, Hyeon-woo decided to do what Seon-woo wanted. As they passed the people lined up on both sides and got onto the car, the car was surrounded by some cars in front and behind. It was a little embarrassing for some reason, but he endured it while looking at Seon-woo. Who the hell was that? The team members from Team 1 to Team 3 in charge of security could not hide their curious expressions. When asked who the escort was, the Deputy Guild leader, Chan-young, gave a brief explanation. “He is a valuable person to the Guild Leader.” Chan-young said only the least there was to know. Because he couldn’t reveal this information to them just yet. But that alone made the team members overflow with enthusiasm and motivated them. They were now able to do something for their Guild Leader, who was not normally someone they could actually assist. His protection was now in their hands. There were many problems with his personality. Even so, they couldn’t help but admire the person who had led them to this point. “Leave it to us!” They shouted strenuously. After all, Seon-woo did not prevent them from joining. It was because he knew that there could be a chance of an emergency no matter how careful he was. The moment they saw Hyeon-woo for the first time, they looked surprised. Secondly, it was because of the attitude the Guild Leader showed. The Guild Leader, who had always seemed heartless, was whispering sweetly to that person. Some who saw him even doubted their own eyes. But the sight did not change. “Isn’t what I’m seeing now an illusion or something?” “I don’t think so.” “Oh my god. Guild Leader!” Although his abilities were excellent, he always portrayed a manipulative behavior that he showed on the outside. However, he actually had a very open personality, and it was a miracle that he showed such an attitude to this person he was with. “I’ve never seen him like that!” “That’s what I also wanted to say.” The team members’ eyes twinkled like stars. “For today’s mission, we need to do it right.” With the strength gathered onto their shoulders, they cheered and started moving. Seon-woo whispered in a sweet voice. “Hyung, where do you want to go first?” ‘He’s excited.’ It seemed like Seon-woo wanted to go out more than himself. From the moment Seon-woo came out, he seemed excited the whole time. On the other hand, Hyeon-woo was suppressing his disturbing thoughts. They weren’t strong by his standards, but when dozens of such people started sticking around, they started to get annoying. Even though they were escorting them at a certain distance, Hyeon-woo, who had sensitive senses, could still feel their presence. But let’s just put up with it if that’s what my little brother wants. Hyeon-woo clasped his hand tightly. “We’re going to the department store now, so is there something you want to buy?” Seon-woo asked with a smile to know Hyeon-woo’s opinions. That’s right, since I am out with my brother after a long time, let’s try to forget the presence of others. “Oh, then. Clothes?” When it came to clothes, Seon-woo had been buying a lot, so he couldn’t think of anything else. “Clothes? Sounds good. Let’s pick one that suits you. Then, do you want to wear new clothes and go to a café for tea?” “That’s great.” The car stopped in front of a large department store. It was an unknown place that I had only seen passing by when I was a child but had never been inside. Is it because of that? Hyeon-woo got a little nervous. “Let’s go in.” Seon-woo grabbed Hyeon-woo’s hand. Then what is this? The shutters at the entrance to the department store were shut down. “Isn’t the door closed?” “On the surface it is.” Seon-woo moved backwards. Then, the door opened as if it welcomed them, and inside were the department store employees, who bowed their heads. “Welcome!” Under the dazzling lights, a large space was revealed. After a moment’s hesitation, Seon-woo grabbed Hyeon-woo’s hand. “It’s okay. I rented it all day here today. You can do whatever you want to do.” Did he hear that correctly? Hyeon-woo’s eyes widened in surprise. You rented this big department store all day? Is that even possible? Hyeon-woo, who was taken to the Demon Realm when he was young and lacked some modern common sense, did not even know if that was possible. ‘No, I would have done it if that was possible.’ His heart started to pound fastly. A woman approached him and introduced himself with greetings. “Hello everyone. This is Yoo Jina, a personal shopping assistant from H Department Store. Thank you for coming back. From start to finish, we will do our best to ensure a satisfactory shopping experience for our customers.” What’s a personal shopping assistant? When he glanced at Seon-woo’s eyes, Seon-woo explained it as he whispered in his ear. “They’re the ones who help with shopping.” Do department stores have people like that? While Hyeon-woo was in doubt of his own, Seon-woo asked the personal shopping assistant. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine Proofread by HM HM: I remember this chapter.

5. Seo Chan-young didn’t seem to like Hyeon-woo. Hyeon-woo didn’t feel the need to care about such a person, so he greeted him with only a nod. At least, he didn’t say hello with his fist; that guy was fortunate enough. “By the way, what is a guild?” Did he build something in my absence? Seon-woo answered Hyeon-woo’s question. “It’s just a group of people.” “But isn’t it great to be a Guild Leader?” At Hyeon-woo’s words, Seon-woo smiled shyly. Watching the situation in real-time, Chan-young flinched. The Guild Leader had always had a cold aura wherever he went, and his speech had always been informal. But now, he was smiling. ‘You never spoke to me that way!’ He wanted to ask Seon-woo why he didn’t use his usual vocabulary when he saw this scene. He had always spoken to anyone in his stern voice until he got to know them. But to a person like his Hyung, he was naturally open with everything. ‘No, I know why.’ The story of how Seon-woo lost his Hyung when he was 11, and how he struggled to establish a guild had been published in a documentary. So, Chan-young knew the situation, but he was still not convinced. ‘But doesn’t he look really weak?’ He must be a First-generation missing person, but Chan-young didn’t feel any power in him. Remembering Hyeon-woo’s position in Seon-woo’s heart almost made Chan-young fall to the floor. I wanted to be stronger, so I joined Seon-woo’s guild and struggled to get up to this position. But why are you standing next to him just because you are his Hyung? It’s unfair. Chan-young frowned without realizing it. “Is the car ready?” “Yes, I have it ready.” “Then, let’s go, Hyung.” Seon-woo tried to carry Hyeon-woo again. “No, it’s okay. This time I want to walk.” “But it would be hard for you to walk right now.” It’s not hard at all. Next to Hyeon-woo, Kerberos was staring at Seon-woo as if he was talking nonsense. Hyeon-woo lightly hit Kerberos’s head. Then, he rolled to the floor with a sound as if he was dying. “Kaegaegaegaeng!” It hurts severely. After rolling for a while, Hyeon-woo said as he grabbed the neck of the drooping Kerberos. “It’s really okay.” “Then, let’s walk slowly.” “Unn!” The two walked to the car while enjoying the warm breeze blowing at the beginning of summer. The car was a large and luxurious car that he had never seen before. “That’s my car.” Seon-woo smiled shyly as he said that. “That’s amazing!” Hyeon-woo disappeared without doing anything, but Seon-woo had grown up so well. For a moment, he was stunned by that fact. I feel like all of this was my fault. It must not have been easy to come this far, but how did you grow up so well? I’m really sorry. “Let’s get in.” Seon-woo took the steering wheel, and Hyeon-woo got into the passenger seat next to him. “Guild Leader, what about me!” “Isn’t there something you can ride on?” “Yeah, but!” “Go back on your own.” Just like that, Seon-woo fiercely rejected Chan-young riding in the same car. Chan-young, who was denied boarding, hurriedly got on his bike that had been placed in the corner. He then started to follow Seon-woo’s car, which had already departed and was far ahead. Usually, Seon-woo was not kind to Chan-young. Even though I knew about his relationship, strangely, my heart feels tighter than usual. ‘Oh, it’s a bike.’ (Hyeon-woo) A distinctive black and sleek looking bike followed. As Hyeon-woo was staring blankly at him, Seon-woo asked. “Do you like it?” “Huh? What?” “That bike.” You should like it. As he watched the bike, he remembered the dragon he used to ride in the Demon Realm. Somehow, he missed it. I’m sure that they’re doing just fine, my bike number one. Of course, there are bikes number 2 and 3 as well. Their bikes were fueled by the magic of the Demon Realm, and their fists were enough to start moving anytime. But he couldn’t tell Seon-woo about them right away, so he answered with a shy smile. “It’s cool.” At that, Seon-woo quietly shut his mouth. If my Hyung wants a bike like that, I can get him some. But there’s only one thing I’m worried about. I’m afraid that my Hyung, who still looks weak, would get hurt while riding the bike. What if I wasn’t able to save you? Still, he thought about taking the bike from Chan-young. It’s no wonder that Hyung wants to ride it after seeing the bike. I’ll give Hyung another car instead. If Chan-young heard this, Seon-woo thought he would be startled. Meanwhile, he gently turned the steering wheel. Seeing his younger brother driving beside him, Hyeon-woo immersed in the scenery before him. Straight roads, tall buildings, and people filling the streets. They were all long forgotten things I have missed in the Demon Realm. Is it because of this that everything I see seems amazing? Finally, the car stopped in front of a building. After stopping in front of the building, which was much larger and flashier than the other ones, Seon-woo first loosened Hyeon-woo’s seat belt. “Let’s get off, Hyung.” “Where are we?” Seon-woo answered Hyeon-woo’s question. “Our house.” No, our house was a little smaller and more compact. A small, rented room in the corner of *Dal-dongne (*it’s a crowded place like a slum, combined town). The room, which would leak in the summer when raining and feel cold in the winter, was their home. But he couldn’t believe that this was now their home. He was led into the tall building by Seon-woo. Upon entering, all the people’s eyes turned his way. But for a moment it was as if everyone had felt something, and they turned away. He turned his gaze down to the floor. Before Hyeon-woo could even feel a sense of wonder at what had happened, the two got on the elevator. The elevator stopped at the top floor. The door opened, and another door appeared. A silvery thick door that looked different from the usual. Hyeon-woo came closer and touched the door with his hand. ‘I think I can break the door.’ Judging from the feeling, it seemed to be a door made using the bark of a beast. “Let’s go in.” Seon-woo scanned the card and the door swung open. Then, seeing the exposed interior, Hyeon-woo widened his eyes. The elegant and luxurious interior was something he had never seen before. Well, he lived in a single room when he was young, and when he grew up, he stayed in the Demon Realm. It was natural for him to be surprised. “Yes, this is our house.” Seon-woo spoke again as if emphasizing. “There’s also a room for Hyung.” At those words, his heart ached again. It was because he was touched by the intentions of his younger brother who had made a room for him, whose reappearance in this world would have been only a possibility. “Okay, I want to see it.” Hyeon-woo stepped in with Seon-woo. He admired it again. The room he showed to him was so big and beautiful. He couldn’t help but exclaim at how big and luxurious it was. “Wow.” After admiring it for a while, he finally came to his senses and asked Seon-woo. “Isn’t this expensive though?” No matter how much he lived in the Demon Realm where price didn’t exist, he knew this much. “It’s okay. This whole building belongs to me.” However, Hyeon-woo opened his mouth again to Seon-woo’s reply. Does this building really belong to Seon-woo? He thought about the size of the building he saw from the outside. Wasn’t it much bigger than the surrounding buildings? And there were several similar buildings, although smaller than this one, in the surrounding area. So, what the hell is the price for this building? “There are other places. If you don’t like this place, just tell me.” But it’s not about liking this place. What on earth did his younger brother do while he was away? “No, I like it!” Hyeon-woo quickly shook his head. “Wang wang?” Kero, whose presence had been long forgotten, barked at this moment. Then, he stood in a stern pose and started looking around the room. Now, this was the room where Hyeon-woo would live. For Kero, he had no choice but to thoroughly check just in case. If Kero bothered him with a trivial matter, he would be very angry. So, he couldn’t neglect checking. “By the way, pets are not allowed here.” Seon-woo said as he stared down at Kero and smiled wildly. “Wang?” Who said pets! The moment Kero was about to glow, Hyeon-woo looked up at Seon-woo and asked. “No?” The words remain the same. “No way.” Hey, I just said no. Kero looked at Seon-woo with cold eyes. “There’s nothing I can do if you don’t want it.” The brothers, who had not seen each other in a long time, looked at each other and smiled affectionately. The atmosphere suddenly became cozy. Oh, this is happiness. Hyeon-woo thought. *** “A first-generation missing person.” The man who spoke out had a unique appearance. One of his eyes was white, and he had a cut across his eye. Because of that, his expression that was cold originally was even more so. His name was Do Ga-jun. He was also the Guild Leader of the Baekho (백호) Guild, which was in second place behind the Seon-hyeon Guild. “**Ji Seon-woo swallowed it alone. (**He meant he took it for himself) He has too much greed. He has to share that with others too.” However, if he asked Ji Seon-woo to share the first-generation person, Ji Seon-woo wouldn’t hear it even with the back of his ear. But he couldn’t force him to listen to it. So, what do you want to do? “It will be okay if we meet him.” Ga-jun chuckled. “Spread the news to other guilds.” “Are you really going to spread it?” Deputy Guild Leader, Min-young asked with a worried expression, but his words remained unchanged. Currently, the Awakenings in the country have slowed down. The First Generation of missing persons had appeared in such a situation. Wasn’t it a coveted material? Of course, there was a possibility that it could be a disaster, but there was also a possibility that it wasn’t. It was also annoying to leave Ji Seon-woo alone with whatever it was. “Good things should be shared.” Ga-jun muttered with his poisoned eyes. After Ga-jun made up his mind to move up with his plans, it was not long before the rumors about the first-generation missing person were circulating in each guild. “So, the source of the information… is from Do Ga-jun?” The gentle-looking young man had a troubled expression on his face. “Besides, the person who once was with him was Ji Seon-woo.” Ja-yun, who knew the relationship between the two, looked frustrated. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine HM: Ja-yun is a man, that part was really confusing in the later chapters.

2. ‘Where is it?’ When Hyeon-woo turned his head to the place where he could feel a gaze, he saw a CCTV. Someone was looking at him through the lens. He felt bad as he was preparing to destroy the walls. Unlike the Demon Realm, here on Earth, he could not do that. Hyeon-woo sat down on the floor and waited for someone to come. “Kiing.” A small warmth clung to Hyeon-woo’s leg. A black and fluffy little puppy. At first glance, it resembled Earth’s Pomeranian. “Who are you?” The big eyes looked familiar somehow. It didn’t take long for the memory to come to his mind. “Oh, Kero.” Kerberos, who was with him all the time in the Demon Realm. “Kiing!” As Hyeon-woo seemed to recognize it, Kerberos got excited and flapped his front foot. But why did he get so small? Where were his other heads? You’ve gotten so small that now I can’t even hit you by mistake. So, he embraced him. A small, warm body gently clung to his body. It was a feeling he didn’t want to let go of. So, while holding Kerberos silently, the wall suddenly opened, and several people appeared. They were fully armed and holding guns, and approached Hyeon woo carefully, looking at him as if he was a dangerous being. The black hair and the skin at first glance were that of an Asian. Hearing their voices, this was not China or Japan. ‘It’s Korea.’ Fortunately, the fairy did not make a mistake in sending Hyeon-woo back. “Don’t move!” People, he hadn’t seen them in a long time. They were being really rude. How long had it been since he saw these kinds of people? Unknowingly, his hand trembled with the urge to hit them. ‘Should I give them a beating?’ Violence is fair to everyone, and after being beaten up, they are supposed to bow down. No one would think he was this kind of person originally. The man, who was abandoned in the Demon Realm. He was repeatedly clenched his fist as he was trying to figure out what to do, but he heard someone's voice outside. Then, after a short squabble, the fully armed men split in half, revealing a man with his hair cut short. His uniformed body looks quite solid from a glaze. “Good morning.” A man calmly greeted Hyeon woo. “My name is Choi Moo-hyuk from the Hunter Administration.” Choi Moo-hyuk. A flowering(growing) S-class hunter that the Hunter Administration is proud of. Many of the conditions they proposed to attract S-class hunters were still being talked about here and there. A lot of wealth and power. However, they did not regret having brought Moo-hyuk here. Afterall, he was doing his job well. “What is your name?” At Moo-hyuk’s question, Hyeon-woo threw his name out loud. “Ji Hyeon-woo.” That was the first conversation he had with humans after he returned to Earth. “It’s cold here, so shall we move to another place and talk?” And then, Moo-hyuk held out his hand. He seemed to have no boundaries at all. Ignoring Moo-hyuk’s hands, Hyeon-woo stood up on his own. “Let’s go.” (Moo-hyuk) Moo-hyuk took the lead with an awkward smile. The changed place was a lot better than the first, but there was no difference in terms of how closed it was. The room had no windows, only a large front glass. Behind the front glass, people were standing and looking at this place. Slowly, he started feeling worse. Should I try to escape? He knew why they were doing this because he was the only first-generation returnee to return. They would be suspicious and were curious about him. But there was no reason for Hyeon-woo to care for them. His hand touched the heavy desk in front of him. Seeing him, Kerberos stooped and stepped back. He knew what was going to happen, so he stepped back. And just as Hyeon-woo was about to escape, Moo-hyuk pushed a glass in front of Hyeon-woo. "Do you drink coffee?" Hyeon-woo’s hand holding the desk stopped. “Coffee?” “Yes.” Hyeon-woo looked at the cup and answered with a straight face. “I don’t drink coffee. Give me something else.” (Hyeon-woo) Moo-hyuk asked with a dazed expression. “You don’t like coffee. So, what would you like?” “Fruit juice.” “Please wait a moment.” Suddenly, a hand (like the crawly ones in the toy machine, maybe more advanced to take the coffee cup) that was under the desk came up. And after waiting a while, the closed door opened, and fruit juice came in. It was strawberry juice. Hyeon-woo’s heart throbbed violently. He hadn’t starved since he got stronger, but that was it. The food in the Demon Realm tasted all the same and it was only enough to fill his stomach. But strawberries! It was strawberry juice. A trembling hand grabbed the glass of juice. And he took a sip. The sour-sweet taste wrapped around his tongue. Yes, this was delicious! Hyeon-woo was delighted as he drank strawberry juice sparingly. “Do you like juice?” Hyeon-woo chose to immerse himself in strawberry juice instead of answering. “Do you want more?” Moo-hyuk asked kindly. It was because his thin and small body aroused sympathy. Besides the fact that it was beautiful, his body was too thin to be strong. Hyeon-woo nodded his head violently. He doesn’t know how many juice glasses he emptied like that. After drinking juice to the point where he was full, he started to feel drowsy. ‘Okay, I will take special care of this matter.’ He changed his mind to deal with this in moderation rather than play escape. All because of the fantastic juice they gave him. “Then, I’ll ask you a few questions.” Moo-hyuk said and pushed the plates of cookies in front of him. After juice, it’s snacks! His mouth was still strong enough to eat more stuff. Hyeon-woo nibbled the cookies while tasting them slowly. It was for saving. The sweet thing he hadn’t tasted in a long time took away his thoughts from his mind. “Your name is Ji Hyeon-woo?” Hyeon-woo nodded his head. “Your age is twenty-five years old?” He nodded again. Actually, he doesn’t remember his age. It was because the flow of the Demon Realm was different from Earth and faster. “Do you have a family?” He nodded. Yes, my little, young, and lovely brother, Ji Seon-woo. Does the child resent his Hyung for disappearing without keeping his promise? He felt teary for a moment. Just thinking about it made his heart ache. At the same time, he was afraid to see him again. He had feared that his one and only loving family would hate him for having him back. With only the thought of his younger brother, he continued to struggle through the Demon Realm. It was also true that he broke the promise that he would protect him and always be by his side. “Do you think that family is alive?” The moment Moo-hyuk opens his mouth again, Bang! A loud sound was heard. The sound didn’t end with just one. Bang! Bang! Bang! It echoed several times and came closer and closer to this place. Moo-hyuk put his hand on his forehead. He tried to prevent the news from leaking as much as possible, but that seemed to have failed. Ugh. Moo-hyuk clutched his teeth together. “Shall we move to another place one more time?” Why do I feel something coming this way? Hyeon-woo looked down at the glass with such a meaning, and Moo-hyuk gently comforted him. It’s okay to drag him away by force, but he felt the urge to go out this badly. Moo-hyuk clicked his tongue. “I will bring you anything you want to eat. How about banana juice?” Hyeon-woo got up from his seat. “Excuse me for a moment.” Moo-hyuk hugged Hyeon-woo as soon as he stood up. To be held in a man’s arms! Without realizing it, his fists clenched. If it hadn’t been for the fact that he was given something to eat and drink, he would have hit him sooner. Kerberos, who was looking at this, also hung on his owner’s leg. It had the appearance of a small dog, but the original body was of a terrifying beast. Hanging around the leg was easy. So, Moo-hyuk quickly left the room with Ji Hyeon-woo. Immediately, the wall of the enclosed space-interrogation room finally collapsed. And it was a tall man who revealed himself. Dressed in a neat suit, he was the most famous person in Korea. The Hero of the century. Ji Seon-woo. “Fuck, why is nobody here?” It was him. Black eyes scanned the inside of the interrogation room with a cold gaze. There were traces of who had just been there. The information received was not wrong. “What is this!” Seon-woo raised the corner of his lips as he watched the hunters, rushing to the room. “Well, what are you doing just standing there?” A large drop of water the size of a head that had appeared from the raised hand, began to spin frantically from his hand. Water may be the weakest element in the world, but conversely, may be the strongest under certain conditions. Seon-woo was a hunter, who freely handled such water. As the water with the size of a head began to split into several parts, the hunters’ complexions gradually turned blue. Some of them started taking a step backwards without realizing it. But Seon-woo had no intention of letting them go easily. Because the more hostages he could get, the better it was. The foot of the people, who were about to retreat slowly began to stop. “You better not move. If you move it, your bones will break.” Don’t say such terrible words in a gentle voice! The Hunters of the Hunter Administration could not even move and trembled at their spot. What, is that person Ji Seon-woo? Ji Seon-woo was the hero of the country. Some of the hunters bowed their heads at the words of the person who had just entered. He was a hunter who had a useless fantasy behind him to keep his fame. On the outside, many admired Ji Seon-woo as a hero, but the hunters who had been in contact with him knew what he was like. He was actually a crazy bastard. The appearance on the show was nothing but camouflage of his personality. “Well then, answer me. Where did the person, who was just here, go?” “Well, that’s...” The Hunter in the front opened his mouth. As soon as he noticed his face, water drops pierced his body relentlessly. ------ Credits: Translator: Hoshi Miya Editor/Proofreader: Davine Proofread by HM HM: Seon-woo!!!
