[Anonymous: Wow]
[Anonymous: I think it’s true. The photo on the press release page has a mosaic applied to it, but the hair color and length are exactly the same.]
[Anonymous: So that article was true too…?]
[Anonymous: I guess so]
[Anonymous: It’s a complete mess. Jeong Ha-seong also came out like that because he got hit at the gate.]
[Anonymous: That’s scary. What kind of person is that to get S-class;;]

At that moment, small ripples began to form on one side of the ocean of information.
“hmm.”
wednesday.
An apartment in Seoul.
Seon Woo-yeon, who returned home after work, opened the box of tea leaves he had brought from his hometown.
“Where did I put my new teapot… … .”
A premium green tea gift set with the same composition as the one given to Kim Ki-ryeo as a thank you.
Even though I declined, my family living in Hadong insisted on giving me several boxes.
‘Aunt and uncle… … they all looked healthy.’
Seon Woo-yeon was lost in thought while brewing green tea.
After Dungeon Shock.
He himself was avoiding going to his hometown due to personal circumstances.
‘Just seeing the green tea fields reminded me of that horrible incident, so I left my parents’ business to my aunt and ran away to Seoul.’
It’s been a while since I went to Hadong… … .
It was surprisingly okay. It wasn’t as painful as before.
Perhaps time is the only medicine that can heal wounds.
‘Let’s go down to our hometown more often from now on.’
All of this would have been impossible without Kim Ki-ryeo’s support.
Seon Woo-yeon sipped the green tea and became absorbed in her emotions.
Oh, by the way, that person really liked the green tea he received as a gift.
-Wow, this is so delicious! I don’t know why people drink things like coffee when there’s something like this!
Kim Ki-ryeo had praised the tea he had received as a gift until his mouth was dry.
Seon Woo-yeon smiles faintly as she recalls the events of that time.
But whenever I think of that Awakened One, my thoughts always become deeper.
“hmm.”
What on earth does Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo do… … .
Seon Woo-yeon has been having that thought a lot lately.
A few days ago, even more so after seeing him arguing with the number one ranked person in front of the emergency room.
Kim Ki-ryeon.
At first glance, his actions did not seem like the kind of rookie who had awakened last year.
I’m sure he’s been a hunter for at least a few years.
‘Where were you and what were you doing before you were recorded in the Kakgeomwon computer system?’
Her opponent’s unclear career piqued her curiosity.
Besides, didn’t Kim Ki-ryeo once say this in passing?
-What about the active duty? Where can you find such a piece of trash?
Those words I heard during the search for missing persons in Eunpyeong-gu.
At the time, I was busy so I just let it slide, but now that I think about it, it’s really meaningful.
‘What the… … You sound like a retired soldier.’
Trash.
It’s a word that surprisingly doesn’t suit Kim Ki-ryeo.
Seonwooyeon let his imagination run wild for a moment.
Is it possible that Kim Ki-ryeo has suffered a serious injury and has been forced to step down from the front lines?
Why that. Like in the movies.
In the past, he might have worked for some kind of hidden organization.
So after going through all kinds of hardships, he might be pretending to be an F-class person because he wants to live a quiet life.

‘He might not really be an ordinary person… … .’
I don’t know the details, but I’m sure there’s some complicated and heavy story behind it.
Seon Woo-yeon made a promise to herself not to ask carelessly about the man’s past.
Of course, this pledge was useless.
“Yahoo! Quitting is the best! I won’t have to work overtime anymore!”
Because all aliens were reincarnated with the sole purpose of quitting their jobs.
A dark past for him.
All I remember is the memories of working overtime and not being able to leave work when the sun went down.
“I should watch a movie on YouTube while eating snacks!”
There are some things in life that ignorance is sometimes bliss.
For example, the humble background of a certain archmage.
Personality or something.
Daily life or… … .
***
A happy daily life requires appropriate preparation.
The Earth calls the three necessities of life food, clothing, and shelter.
I can confidently say that as of today, I have the best home I’ve ever lived in.
“Huh.”
Infinite power core.
This was planned from the moment I got my hands on the item.
The identity of the item obtained by knocking down the grid is… … .
To put it simply, it’s a large-capacity battery.
“As expected, there is nothing I can’t do.”
The infinite power core had many uses.
Preserving temperature in the greenhouse.
Maintain the barrier.
Realization of welcome at building level, etc.
Because it serves as an energy source for so-called ‘installation-type’ spells that have a continuous effect in one location.
As expected.
I used this core to create a new barrier to protect Kim Ki-ryeo’s house.
With just this, even an F-rank hunter like me can create an excellent barrier.
Because the core automatically maintains the barrier without the wizard having to replenish mana.
-Thump thump.
I knocked on the boundary of the barrier and began my final review.
Intruder detection.
Blocks magic attacks and physical attacks.
It’s been downgraded to Earth’s level, but it’s still not unwatchable.
‘At this level, it will even withstand the dragon’s breath.’
good.
So, all that’s left is to focus on research in this cozy nest.
This is a problem that I had temporarily forgotten about because I was busy with manufacturing magic boosters and other things.
I was currently exposed to one threat.
There’s some S-class hunter eyeing my life.
‘f*ck!’
There was one goal going forward.
12 months.
During the few months that the core’s power lasts, a means must be devised to repel the S-class’s clutches.
“Ugh… … If I can just solve this problem, I’ll just play around like a rich bum every day. I won’t do anything.”
I sat at my desk and steeled my resolve.
I hope you have days so peaceful that you feel bored.
Doing research, and researching again… … .
-Quasack.
How many days have passed since I was locked up in that one-room apartment?
-Oops, oops.
Day 4 of seclusion.
I took out some biscuits and ate them as a substitute for breakfast.
Open your eyes. Eat. Study. Sleep.
My life has been like a machine lately, but I personally have no major complaints.
Overwork is a familiar thing.
-Bubble, bubble, bubble… . Click!
Oh, I guess the water has boiled away.
I looked out the window while brewing green tea with water heated in an electric kettle.
A leisurely tea time in the morning sunlight. It’s a day like a dream.
okay.
It really does seem like a dream. I haven’t been able to sleep for four days because of that damn guest, so I’m about to fall asleep.
“under…….”
I held the teacup with empty eyes.
-Crack, crack.
Actually, there was some bad news in the meantime.
-Crack, crack.
“Oh, what rotten bastard keeps messing with the barrier! Hey! You little punk! Come out! Let me see your face!”
For the past few days, some unidentified Awoken person has been attempting to break into my house.
***
Mid August.
The main temple of a pseudo-religious temple.
“Apostle Suye Hui. Are you there?”
“Yes, please come in.”
A huge painting hangs in an empty room.
It was a picture of a dragon holding a Yeouiju and falling over a red field.
“What’s going on?”
The believer in the raincoat looked intently at the painting and then turned around.
Then, a woman came into the room and reported with a bow.
“As you instructed, I looked into what happened to the teacher in Eunpyeong.”
“What was the result?”
“That, that’s it. The great teacher died in Kang Chang-ho’s attack. Some of the believers were also handed over to the police… … .”
Su Ye-hui was inwardly surprised when she heard this.
‘That’s strange. But at least that teacher was good at hiding.’
But that wasn’t the only surprise.
This incident, like last time, involved that mysterious F-class hunter.
Su Ye-hui pieced together the case based on the testimonies of the organization members who escaped from Kang Chang-ho’s attack.
“I see. When the great teacher kidnapped this hunter to get the core, an S-class suddenly appeared. Is this it?”
“Yes, yes!”
This might be… … .
I might have been lured.
Su Ye-hui furrowed her brows as she looked over the documents her subordinate had given her.
Kim Ki-ryeo.
What on earth is this person that makes him interfere in every single thing?
It was also the case that he was stuck to the S-class that Pyo Na-gil was trying to kill.
It’s also like intercepting an item that you really need.
Even now, believers are being arrested en masse because of that one person.
“That’s why I told you to report in advance when I bring a high-level Awakened person.”
Tsk tsk.
Suye Hwi clicked her tongue.
If he had known about this earlier, he would have told him not to touch that hunter.
“Hey, hey. Apostle Suye Hwi.”
at that time.
A believer who had been watching from the side spoke hesitantly.
“But is it possible that our plan cannot proceed because the great teacher was unable to obtain the core…?”
But Su Ye-hui shook her head as if to tell her not to worry.
“Of course not. It’s okay. Since we’re short on cores anyway, we can just buy them with money.”
“ah!”
“Don’t be impatient, sister.”
Su Ye-hui is the second-in-command of the Nachal Temple.
At the same time, he was also an excellent researcher.
“Everything is going well.”
Artificial dungeon break.
Eunpyeong-gu missing person case.
Istanbul’s Winter Gate Strategy.
The truth behind all this terrorism is the verification of Su Ye-hui’s gate characteristics.
To be exact, the purpose was to find out, “What are the minimum conditions for a dungeon to exist?”
And Su-Ye-Hwi obtained meaningful results through exploration of this topic.
Thanks to this, you can now manipulate the dungeon space to some extent as you wish.
‘In the last experiment, that hunter named Seonwooyeon was especially helpful. No matter what manipulation was done, we eventually learned that once the boss died, an exit would appear.’
Su-Ye-Hwi tilted her head as she recalled past experiments.
“Okay. The groundwork is done, so now all we have to do is prepare… … .”
A cult that believes in a non-existent god has acquired the knowledge to manipulate the gate.
What could be more terrifying than this?
Moreover, the end result of this plan was set to be the death of all S-classes.
They will continue to grow in the future.
Because they plan to cause a bigger terrorist attack.
“Ah! I can’t wait for the day of judgment to come!”
“Oh, of course. When that time comes, my sister will definitely go to heaven because she has donated a lot.”
Up to this point, the Nachal Temple seemed like a group of illogical lunatics who worshipped the devil or something.
But the human race is usually money.
Or the law moved by power.
-Ding dong♩
“Sister, you should step aside now.”
“yes.”
As soon as Su-ye-hui heard the doorbell, she started walking quickly.
Finally, we arrived at the entrance of the building.
The believer even took off the raincoat he was wearing and neatly placed it aside to welcome the guest with all his heart.
“welcome!”
“Ahem.”
“Thank you for coming.”
“Where is the leader?”
“Father has already gone to the living room.”
Su Ye-hui referred to the man who entered the building as follows.
“Then I will guide you right away, Representative Kim.”
