An occasion of an unheard of scale!
A trapped individual walked out of a dungeon, alive!
the usa Hunter Bureau went into overdrive proper away.
The deputy director of the Bureau in my opinion got here right down to the interview room after hearing this news. past the one-way mirror, he should see an Oriental man quietly sitting on a chair, with a couple of handcuffs on his wrists.
“Is he that man?”
“That’s accurate, sir.”
“He looks as if a regular civilian, doesn’t he?”
“sure, sir.”
It was as he stated; once that guy’s unkempt hair and the messy beard have been sorted, his facial functions might be that of a mean middle-aged Oriental male generally observed everywhere.
“have you found out his identity yet?”
“He has again and again said that he’s a Korean Hunter.”
“South Korea?”
“sure, sir.”
“How can a South Korean Hunter pop out of a dungeon on the other aspect of the sector?”
“He says that he become trapped in the dungeon for the beyond ten years after the Gate closed on him.”
“And while he reopened his eyes, he’s in the united states? Is that it?”
“That’s what he’d been pronouncing until now, sir.”
The deputy director massaged his forehead. How was he to provide an explanation for this to the director? He felt a migraine starting its vicious assault on his head.
“If that’s the case, then what are you men looking ahead to? Why aren’t you in there, looking to get more records out of him?”
by no means mind his director, the deputy changed into involved approximately having to document immediately to a person even higher than that. Or worse, a person tons, a lot higher up the food chain.
In different phrases, there has been no time to attend round sucking on thumbs like this.
Too horrific, the phase leader in charge of statistics did now not proportion his sentiment.
“Sir, we’re presently focusing at the opportunity of this guy being a monster who possesses a human’s recollections, rather.”
“k, so?”
“If it all of sudden famous its authentic intentions in the course of the interview manner, everything of Washington might be in threat.”
That made feel.
A raid group together with several rank A Hunters proved to be entirely helpless in opposition to that man, in spite of everything. They couldn’t afford to be careless right here.
“looks as if we’ll have to get a effective Hunter to keep on with the investigation, then.”
ideally, a rank S, too.
The segment leader nodded his head in settlement.
“there’s a rank S Hunter who can speak in Korean living nearby.”
The deputy director’s expression brightened.
He was none aside from the deputy director of the Hunter Bureau. He had memorised again to the front the listing of all rank S Hunters residing inside the States already.
“Mister Hwang! Is he coming here?”
“sure, sir.”
one of the essential Hunters of the Scavenger Guild, Hwang Dong-Su.
simply how much attempt did the Hunter Bureau should put in, that allows you to bring that guy right here and naturalise him as an American citizen?
‘If it’s him….’
even though some thing awful did take place, it’d not be an excessive amount of of a huge trouble. The deputy director smiled deeply.
“Oh, proper. I almost forgot.”
A question belatedly shaped in his head. If he have been to make a record to the higher-ups, he at least needed to know the challenge’s call.
“What was the call of that guy?”
It become a difficult-to-pronounce name, that’s for positive.
The phase chief showed it at the document submitted to him by means of one in every of his underlings and spoke up.
“His call is Seong Il-Hwan, a Hunter from South Korea.”
***
Hwang Dong-Su had no time for such things as mercy. mainly if it become in opposition to monsters.
He lost his mother and father to a dungeon damage a few years ago and grew up with handiest his older brother as the only surviving family member. That became why when he wakened as a rank S, he knew this became his heaven-sent possibility.
‘The possibility to rip aside and kill as many monsters as i will!’
possibly that changed into the cause why the glare of Hwang Dong-Su as he entered the interview room became icier than traditional.
a person who came out from a dungeon – even the magic energy wavelength this guy emitted reputedly had a comparable sample to that of a monster.
‘If a monster is pretending to be a human….’
Then, he’d kill this abominable creature right here, proper now.
His glare met the person’s gaze.
‘……..’
‘……..’
They silently exchanged their gazes.
Hwang Dong-Su put the record with this guy’s information down at the table, pulled the chair out to take a seat, and opened his mouth.
“It’ll be better so that you can cooperate with me. One word from me will determine how others will see you: a human or a monster. were given that?”
“Understood.”
before he were given started, even though, a deeply private question floated up in Hwang Dong-Su’s head.
His older brother who died within the dungeon – changed into there any possibility that Hwang Dong-Seok could go back alive?
He wanted to know about that first.
“Is there any risk of different Hunters coming back from a dungeon, just as you have got?”
the person shook his head.
Hwang Dong-Su’s brows quivered simply then.
“how can you be so sure?”
“because… I’m well aware of the motive why I got here back.”
“The purpose? what’s it?”
“allow me ask you some thing earlier than I solution that.”
“….I’ll be the one asking questions right here.”
Hwang Dong-Su’s eyes narrowed to a slit. however, the man continued on with what he desired to say regardless.
“The Gates, monsters, and dungeon breaks. How tons do you know about them?”
“…”
If this man had asked a silly query, Hwang Dong-Su might’ve used force to shut this guy up proper away. but, he couldn’t try this proper now.
due to the fact that question turned into something that infinite tried to reply ever since the first Gate opened and awakened human beings commenced acting ten years ago.
This very moment will be when the answer eventually found out itself.
“Deputy director….”
“Shush.”
The retailers of the Hunter Bureau all nervously swallowed their saliva as they stared into the only-way reflect.
Hwang Dong-Su requested.
“Are you saying which you recognize?”
“Dungeons, Gates, monsters… these kinds of are simply preludes to a true war approximately to take place soon. And these days, a being that becomes the greatest calamity ever seen has opened its eyes.”
“So, the purpose why you lower back here is…?”
“so that you can forestall that calamity.”
“And what is, or who’s, this ‘greatest calamity ever seen’?”
“…..That, i’m able to’t inform you.”
Hwang Dong-Su smirked derisively.
“a man who got here here to stop a calamity can’t talk approximately what it’s far? I don’t understand what that factor may be, however absolutely, instead of trying to stop all of it by your self, wouldn’t it’s better to work together with others?”
the man shook his head.
“The wide variety of human beings manner not anything while dealing with this being. Doesn’t remember whether or not plenty of amateurs determine to paintings together or now not, they’ll handiest end up its prey and come to be its pawns, as an alternative.”
“So, you’re saying that most effective you may prevent it?”
the man nodded his head.
Hwang Dong-Su inwardly clicked his tongue.
‘This man’s long past off the deep cease.’
It wasn’t that tough to apprehend, although, if this guy were truely trapped inner a dungeon for ten years.
Or, alternatively, there were a few kind of an blunders, a mistake, at some point of the method of the monster seeking to reproduction a human’s memories and therefore, its mind had melted rather.
anyways, Hwang Dong-Su determined to humour the alternative birthday celebration for the time being, and spot wherein this issue could move.
“You should be quite assured of your abilities, then.”
“let’s simply say that, besides my abilties, I’ve other elements in my favour.”
“nicely… in case you say so.”
simply what sort of information may want to he even extract from a madman?
Hwang Dong-Su determined to prevent the questioning here.
alternatively, he opened the person’s case report, deliberating carrying out the Bureau’s request, which became to investigate the man’s background.
“Your name is Seong Il-Hwan…..”
The photo provided sincerely matched the person’s face.
‘in preference to ten years, although, it’s like only more than one weeks, maybe months, have passed with the aid of, as a substitute.’
but, Hwang Dong-Su determined no longer to mind it. He heard that excessive-ranked Hunters may want to even skirt past the growing older procedure.
“Your data as a Hunter look pretty accurate. you can have earned pretty a whole lot of cash nowadays.”
Seong Il-Hwan didn’t respond to that.
returned then, there has been no right device of Hunters in vicinity. Hell, there wasn’t a rating gadget for Hunters, even!
Hwang Dong-Su started out analyzing the record.
“Your spouse, Park Gyung-Hye. two youngsters. The son’s name is….”
As he read down the names of the kids with no emotion on his face, Hwang Dong-Su’s eyes spread out barely wider for a moment.
‘….Seong Jin-Woo?’
however, it only lasted for a honestly quick 2d. Hwang Dong-Su did his quality to stay calm and endured on.
“…..Seong Jin-Woo. And the call of your daughter is?”
“Seong Jin-Ah.”
“ok. next.”
It occurred, then.
“Wait.”
earlier than Hwang Dong-Su should flip to the next web page, Seong Il-Hwan stopped him.
Hwang Dong-Su raised his head. And he discovered Seong Il-Hwan’s glare had grow to be as bloodless as his very own.
“Why did you emit a murderous reason when citing the name of my son?”
“…”
Hwang Dong-Su placed the document at the desk among them. and then, killed the mic feed to the outdoor of this room.
“I instructed you that I’ll be the only asking questions.”
“I’ll have to listen your answer, first.”
“What if I’m not interested by answering you?”
“I’ll use pressure, if necessary.”
Seong Il-Hwan’s eyes started out glowing coldly. He didn’t even show any hints of backing down. Which prompted Hwang Dong-Su to smirk deeply.
“I got it. So, you have been a monster, then.”
How dare a measly little monster threaten a Hunter?
An extreme hostility directed to him – now that changed into sufficient of an proof to label this man as a monster.
‘No, wait. this may be my second heaven-despatched possibility.’
Hwang Dong-Su decided as such, and switched the mic on again.
click on, beep.
“Deputy director? This guy is a monster. Evacuate right away, because he may start attacking very soon.”
– “What? H-hold on!”
Beep.
people panicking past the one-way replicate fast ran out of the room. and shortly, a noisy wail of a siren resounded inside the building.
in the meantime, a silver mild began emanating from Hwang Dong-Su’s fingers.
“I’m making plans to go to South Korea quickly.”
once you have prepared, Hwang Dong-Su threw an insidious smile at Seong Il-Hwan.
“So, what ultimate phrases from his father ought to I deliver in your son?”
***
The television became still speaking about the red Gate incident.
Jin-Woo scratched the returned of his head.
‘This factor is getting out of hand.’
nevertheless, he didn’t sense all that stricken. It changed into like, he felt a chunk bizarre, as a substitute?
He located it rather unusual that a few individuals who didn’t even recognise some thing him had been trying their darnedest to find more approximately him. mainly while he wasn’t even there….
but, what in the event that they discover about him?
Didn’t matter, certainly.
‘properly, I’ve already levelled up to the factor i used to be aiming for, besides.’
The purpose why he decided to keep his talents hidden inside the starting become that he had a lingering worry that he might emerge as being used by a few unscrupulous b*stards.
however now, the story become exceptional.
even when the Guild grasp of the White Tiger, in addition to a rank S Hunter, Baek Yun-Ho had grabbed his arm, Jin-Woo may want to yank his arm unfastened without a hassle.
He wouldn’t have even dreamed of attaining such a feat inside the past.
‘definitely, I’d have moist myself just from meeting eyes with that guy.’
An imperceptible smile formed on Jin-Woo’s lips. In instances like this, he have to’ve been playing the drunken bliss, with memory serving as the precise facet dish, but then….
Tti-ring.
[Harmful substances have been detected.]
[Effects of ‘Buff: Detox’ will now commence.]
[3, 2, 1…. Detoxification has been completed.]
What a regretful aspect it turned into, his desire couldn’t be granted.
Jin-Woo smiled instead ruefully. however, his facial features have become serious and decided, extra than ever earlier than as he placed the soju glass down.
‘I don’t have any plans to stop here, even though.’
Jin-Woo summoned his fame Window.
Tti-ring.

‘I’ve were given an extended road ahead of me, even though….’
but, he knew he should climb even higher. To a good higher place.
To a place that likely no person else may want to get to. That opportunity made his heart palpitate.
And the start of this climb would be on the Demon’s fortress.

He recalled the time he were given the blessed random field.

And he were given the important thing to the immediate dungeon, Demon’s citadel, from it.
The monster he bumped into had a excessive stage, and the rewards had been pinnacle-notch, too. He had showed those two facts before exiting from there.
He had no idea what might come out on the better floors, but it’d now not deviate an excessive amount of.
And so, it turned into now the time to head and acquire his rewards. He turned into planning to enter there and spend an amazing few days inside.
Jin-Woo’s best worry became…
‘as soon as I’m interior, I won’t be able to touch the out of doors.’
What need to he inform his little sister, then?
finding out to give you a suitable excuse on his way back home, Jin-Woo got up from his seat.
tap, faucet.
“hey, Jin-Ho.”

“Slurrrp~.”
Jin-Woo shook and lightly tapped Yu Jin-Ho, but the kid had absolutely blacked out. What should he do now?
‘And he’s alleged to visit the association the following day to take the written take a look at, too….’
well, taking a test become one factor, but the most pressing element to fear about proper now was sending him home adequately from right here.
Jin-Woo pulled out Yu Jin-Ho’s telephone.
“manifestly, i will’t call both the Chairman Yu Myung-Hwan or Yu Jin-Seong….”
simply who should he call here that might inflict the least quantity of damage on Yu Jin-Ho? Jin-Woo contemplated his picks, before recognizing a name at the contact listing.
‘Yu Soo-Hyun?’
in contrast to with his father or his older brother, Yu Jin-Ho had exchanged quite a few messages with this person.
It had to be a woman, judging from the name….
Jin-Woo deliberated for a while on whether or not to call this woman or now not, earlier than placing the telephone down.
‘Wait a minute.’
He fast confirmed his keep just in case.
And sure enough, there has been a sure object he became thinking of.
He located it!

Jin-Woo took a look around him to ensure nobody become looking earlier than he fast tipped Yu Jin-Ho’s head over and poured the status healing potion down the child’s throat.
It become then.
Yu Jin-Ho’s eyes snapped open.
“Hyung-nim?!”

Yu Jin-Ho’s head was tipped backwards. And hyung-nim changed into staring down at him from above.
“….Hyung-nim, what are you doing there?”
“…..”

“permit’s go.”
“Oh. yes, hyung-nim!”
Yu Jin-Ho stood proper up from his seat, before tilting his head slightly.
‘Uh? Why do I experience so refreshed?’
