The thriller object become a black key.

the key he observed within the ‘Cursed’ Random container was shining brightly as if to remind him of where it were hiding all along.

Jin-Woo stared extremely dazedly at that arresting sight earlier than he cautiously positioned the guns in his arms down at the ground once more. He then reached into the inventory and tightly grasped the black key.

‘…….’

And, while he opened his hand again….

[Item: Key to the Karutenon Temple]

Rarity: ??

kind: Key

‘you have got met the specified situation.’

A key allowing you entry into the Karutenon Temple. it is able to be used at the distinctive Gate.

The location of the distinct Gate may be discovered after the predetermined time has been reached.

closing time: 417:06:fifty two

The object facts he couldn’t see earlier than changed into now filling up his view.

‘….Karutenon Temple?’

Jin-Woo started tilting his head in confusion.

What was taking place here? He turned into pretty positive that he had in no way heard of that call before. So how come it sounded so acquainted to him?

‘No, hold on. I…. have heard of it earlier than.’

He carefully combed via the maze of his memories until he subsequently recalled what he was looking for, and his brows shot up in response.

‘The dual dungeon!!’

more specifically, that call was etched on a stone tablet held via a statue, located inside the historical temple placed proper at the end of the twin dungeon.

The memories of that fateful day were coming lower back to him separately.

‘right, absolutely….’

The voice of song Chi-Yeol ahjussi, as he study the first line of that stone pill, all at once rang so vividly around in his ears.

[“The laws of the Karutenon Temple.”]

certainly, that stone tablet’s texts indicated that the call of the temple filled with the ones terrifying statues was none aside from ‘Karutenon’.

It couldn’t had been a easy coincidence that the call carved into that stone tablet, and the name of the temple in the key’s statistics, changed into exactly the same.

which could suggest…..

‘i will cross again internal that location with this key?!’

Jin-Woo’s eyes grew wider in taken aback silence.

The recollections of that day, vague and difficult to don’t forget as if they were enveloped in a veil of fog, all of sudden returned to him of their complete, gory element.

‘may want to it be….?’

No, this changed into not inside the class of ‘could or not it’s’ anymore. The device became honestly summoning him – summoning him lower back to the area wherein it all started.

the key that emitted the bright mild all on its very own, perhaps fearing the awesome possibility of him by no means bothering to read its facts; after which, there has been the call of the location where this key become supposed to be used, written so absolutely that he’d in no way omit it.

regardless of how he attempted to slice it, there has been no doubt that the system was summoning him there.

Oddly sufficient, Jin-Woo turned into getting curious approximately something else as properly. Why was this taking place now, of all times?

‘Is it somehow associated with the quests I received from the Demon’s citadel?’

This black key, and the ‘Cursed’ Random box it came from, was the ‘unknown reward’ he selected to receive on the quit of the ‘gather the Souls of Demons! (1)’ quest.

Hoping that perhaps there has been a connection right here, he quickly checked the ‘unknown praise’ he were given from the ‘collect the Souls of Demons! (2)’ quest.

‘identify.’

along with the acquainted “Tti-ring!” of the mechanical beep, the information concerning his new identify, the only he were given because the reward, rose up to his view.

[Title: Demon Hunter]

‘you have not happy its situations.’

He hoped that something would possibly have changed, however nicely, too awful; it was the exact equal tale as the first time he received that title.

‘k, in order that one wasn’t it.’

next up, he commenced studying the item descriptions of the Demon Sovereign’s accessory set, which he were given to complete after killing the Demon King, Baran.

[Item: Demon Sovereign’s Ring]

Rarity: S

type: accessory

notion +20. Intelligence +20.

whilst worn collectively with ‘Demon Sovereign’s jewelry’ and ‘Demon Sovereign’s Necklace’, set bonuses could be unlocked.

Set bonus impact 1. All Stats +five

Set bonus effect 2. All Stats +10

He took a more in-depth look at the information furnished, wondering if some other, hidden, set impact have been unlocked, but that wasn’t it, either.

‘in that case….’

there has been best another opportunity ultimate now, and Jin-Woo shifted his gaze in the direction of the statistics appearing above his title column, closer to the very last suspect.

[Name: Seong Jin-Woo]

[Level: 100]

[Class: Shadow Sovereign]

[Title:…..]

Out of all of those, his gaze stopped moving at his degree.

There it turned into, his level ‘100’, the only he simply slightly were given to attain after massacring every single ant monster, as well as every egg and larva found on the island of Jeju.

‘The situation this key’s been speaking approximately needs to be this.’

That changed into the maximum achievable rationalization he should provide you with.

because he could take out, or positioned back, any item inner inventory with not anything but his thoughts, he’d by no means sincerely paid plenty attention to what turned into inside his garage. except he were given a new toy he had to positioned away, of course.

That turned into most in all likelihood why he only got to discover the modifications to this key multiple days after he reached level 100.

Heck, if it wasn’t for him suddenly coming down with an urge to spring clean his stock after he took out those weapons from there in advance, he wouldn’t actually have located the important thing’s presence, at least now not for a protracted even as.

precise aspect that he found it earlier than it became a long way too overdue.

‘417 hours… that’s about 17 days from now. I nevertheless have over weeks left.’

The machine hadn’t lied to him as soon as till now. So, the Gate in query might virtually open up within the location as cited inside the item’s information.

‘I gotta begin getting ready myself….’

just as those mind raced beyond in his head, Jin-Woo gasped out in surprise.

‘keep on… become I virtually planning to walk in there again?’

“Ha, haha…”

A wry chortle leaked out of his mouth without him realising it.

sure, they have been lower ranked Hunters working for the affiliation, but still, over half of of the raid crew got killed in there. not to forget about, he himself almost died numerous times, too.

‘I even misplaced my leg toward the cease, didn’t I?’

What a scary reminiscence that become. He used to break out in an uncontrollable shiver simply from recalling the emptiness under his knee he saw lower back then.

but now, preventing spirit commenced burning powerfully in his eyes, alternatively.

‘I’m one-of-a-kind now.’

He felt utterly assured of his chances now.

Heck, he even felt a sure expectation effervescent up inner him, wondering if he’d be able to turn the ones stone statues, or even the god statue itself, into his Shadow infantrymen.

there was also something else to do not forget – he is probably hit with an unknown penalty if he determined to ignore the device’s summons.

Didn’t he already recognize the reality that, relying on the picks he makes, the system could both emerge as his ally or an enemy? Didn’t he study his lesson again when he overlooked the first each day Quest or whilst he became issued an emergency quest?

while his thoughts reached up to that point, his hand retaining the important thing turned into unexpectedly have become soaked in his sweat.

Gulp….

He changed into so tense that his dry saliva scratched his throat because it slid down. Jin-Woo slowly shook his head and closed his eyes.

‘….No, let’s no longer get too worked up over this.’

He had to calm down.

His pounding heart progressively bogged down as he worked difficult to discover balance in his feelings. After his chaotic respiration had regained their normalcy, he ever so barely reopened his eyes.

“o.k..”

‘If the device has business with me, then it can very well be every other opportunity for me.’

Didn’t the ‘Cursed’ Random field’s description say that it might give him what he needed the maximum?

‘still, it’d be prudent to make a few preparations in advance.’

Jin-Woo commenced thinking about the preparations he’d need to make, simply in case. That led him to keep in mind something else he’d been delaying for a touch even as now.

And that could be the established order of his own Guild.

Having a Guild would in reality make it simpler to enter various Gates, and it’d additionally make his, and his infantrymen’ levelling-up process, that tons less difficult, too.

He had left the very-inspired Yu Jin-Ho in rate of the preliminary procedure of founding a Guild, at least in the mean time.

‘i wonder, how some distance along is he now?’

Jin-Woo decided to provide Yu Jin-Ho a name, however after checking the time, he sheepishly placed the telephone down. It become two inside the morning.

‘It’s already this late….’

on account that he had stuff to do on the next day, he figured that it’d be less complicated to just pass and pay a go to to Yu Jin-Ho at the identical time.

‘Yeah, I’ll stop through the office the following day.’

***

Yu Jin-Ho’s glares became a stage sharper.

just like the eyes of a hawk locking onto a prey, his glare scanning the laptop screen was filled to the brim with unbridled sharpness. and then, proverbial flames erupted out of his eyes subsequent.

‘I shall in no way forgive the ones trying to impede the course of hyung-nim!!’

Yu Jin-Ho fast display-captured the offending online forum submit in question, in addition to the remarks acting below it, after which, proceeded to write down up a formal letter of criticism with lightning pace. He moved so expertly and speedy that he must’ve had extra than enough revel in doing this issue.

And, in the blink of a watch, his work was done.

“Whew.”

His hand departing from the computer’s keyboard gently wiped away a single bead of sweat rolling down his brow.

He had achieved it once more. nowadays, he become certainly a success in rooting out an insidious institution looking to slander his hyung-nim.

Hyung-nim became the face in their fledgeling Guild, not to mention its guiding light.

The b*stards that tried to speak sick of hyung-nim, or even unfold fake rumours about him, had been unforgivable sinners that deserved to be put to death. Of course, he also needed to be even greater proactive in taking them down whilst he concept approximately the future of the Guild.

in the end, wasn’t this the Guild in which he’d turn out to be its Vice master?

That’s why his personal feelings had not anything to do with what he become doing right now. It became all part of reliable commercial enterprise he needed to perform for the sake of their Guild.

alas, Yu Jin-Ho changed into reminded of the sad fact that the Guild he’d be the Vice grasp of nevertheless didn’t have an respectable call yet. This was a critical hassle requiring a rapid resolution.

Hyung-nim hadn’t stated a word about this hassle till now, so Yu Jin-Ho determined that it changed into his responsibility because the Guild’s Vice master to come up with a suitable name.

‘Hmm….’

How about setting the ‘Seong’ of Seong Jin-Woo and ‘Yu’ of Yu Jin-Ho together to call the Guild ‘Seong-yu’?

He speedy shook his head, though.

‘It’s were given a pleasing that means, however uh, it sounds a chunk…’

If he have been to recall how it sounded, then it was indeed higher to turn the two phrases around to make ‘Yu-Seong’, but alternatively, he’d by no means be capable of receive the fact that his very own surname would come earlier than his hyung-nim’s.

‘I should speak this with hyung-nim when he stops with the aid of.’

It had been whole days considering that they moved into this workplace.

Hyung-nim had emerge as the centre of the world’s attention after his heroic feats for the duration of the Jeju Island raid got broadcast live, at the same time as Yu Jin-Ho determined himself manning this large office all on my own a lot extra than he’d like to.

‘No, cling on a minute. What if I just take the closing a part of our names and name the Guild Woo-Ho?’

It became then.

“howdy, what are you so deeply worried approximately?”

“Heok?!”

Yu Jin-Ho jumped up like a scalded cat. He quick got up from the chair and looked behind him, simplest to discover Jin-Woo status there.

“H-hyung-nim?!”

Jin-Woo shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly as though he couldn’t recognize why absolutely everyone could be that amazed. in the meantime, Yu Jin-Ho became busy patting his pounding chest down.

‘severely, if he doesn’t need you to know that he’s here, you wouldn’t even understand it….’

He wasn’t even paying attention to something particular just now, too. It positive felt like hyung-nim’s penchant for abruptly performing after which disappearing regarded to have gotten worse with every passing day.

Embarrassed by his personal over-the-pinnacle response, Yu Jin-Ho sheepishly scratched the back of his head and requested Jin-Woo.

“when did you arrive here, hyung-nim?”

“simply now.”

After creating a easy respond, Jin-Woo leaned in and took a look at the computer screen that captured Yu Jin-Ho’s interest until then, but earlier than he were given a proper appearance, the latter quick covered up the display along with his whole body.

“Hyung-nim, you don’t have to worry approximately b*stards like them. I’ll take superb care of them, so you can relaxation clean, hyung-nim.”

Jin-Woo looked at that decided face of Yu Jin-Ho and an expression of dumbfoundedness shaped on his.

“….So, it become you.”

Jin-Woo heard that there has been someone available that pounced on any terrible feedback or false articles approximately him on-line like a wild beast and, while relying on the chance of criminal action, demanded them to be taken down immediately.

however to suppose, that person was someone so nearby!

Yu Jin-Ho’s complexion reddened from embarrassment now that his mystery pastime were inadvertently uncovered to the open.

“Eiii, hyung-nim… I’m supposed to do things like this for you, you already know.”

Yu Jin-Ho’s eyes sparkled like an expectant child looking forward to a praise, and Jin-Woo may want to handiest snigger at that sight.

“proper. thank you.”

Mistakenly questioning that the smile on Jin-Woo’s face was one in all pleasure, Yu Jin-Ho secretly made up his thoughts to become even more palms-on, concerned with the sake of his hyung-nim.

but then….

“…Uh? Hyung-nim, are you going somewhere nowadays?”

Yu Jin-Ho requested Jin-Woo after sooner or later coming across a exclusive set of duds on the latter’s frame.

Jin-Woo turned into nonplussed in his answer.

“i’ve a few enterprise to attend to today.”

“Aha….”

Yu Jin-Ho turned into feeling clearly surprised at that second. He had simplest visible Jin-Woo wear clothes that had been easy to move around in, so seeing his hyung-nim kitted out in a black business healthy from head to toe like this, he become struck by way of a sense of unfamiliarity and amazement at the identical time.

Too awful, Jin-Woo didn’t have enough loose time to give an explanation for himself. He took every other quick take a look at his watch.

‘I’m jogging way too tight….’

Jin-Woo lifted his head far from the watch and requested Yu Jin-Ho.

“Are there every other documents that I should convey with me when getting the Guild grasp licence?”

“never! whilst you get to the affiliation, you’ll be asked to take a easy take a look at. Your licence can be issued right away afterwards, hyung-nim.”

“ok.”

So, his hyung-nim changed into headed off to the association?

‘but, isn’t his apparel a bit an excessive amount of, considering he’s handiest going to the association….?’

Yu Jin-Ho incorrectly guessed Jin-Woo’s destination and commenced tilting his head, however soon sufficient, he common it as a truth.

‘properly, hyung-nim’s a celebrity now, so I bet he’ll ought to watch what he wears in public.’

There have been proper facets to being well-known, but on the flip facet, there was also a tiresome element to it, as well.

Yu Jin-Ho notion about the pressure and the burden carried around by using oldsters surrounding him from all sides – the famous those who every Korean citizen would without delay comprehend with their names on my own – and briefly sympathised with their plight.

now not honestly being concerned both way, Jin-Woo pointed to the car keys placed on a table a piece of distance far from him.

“I’m going to borrow the van for some time.”

“Use it as tons as you want, hyung-nim.”

Yu Jin-Ho reached out to pick out the keys up. but, he turned into taken greatly by way of marvel as the keys slipped out of his reach and flew into Jin-Woo’s fingers.

“H-hyung-nim, what became….?”

Jin-Woo cut him off .

“It’s a talent.”

“…”

Yu Jin-Ho become rendered speechless yet again.

even supposing hyung-nim declared that he may want to fly round the use of every other one among his talents, Yu Jin-Ho was assured of now not finding that abnormal in any respect.

‘Is there whatever hyung-nim can’t do??’

Hyung-nim changed into like an onion that had such a lot of layers nevertheless left to peel. The extra you knew about him, the extra he’d wonder you.

‘Wait, now isn’t the time for this.’

Yu Jin-Ho all at once awoke from his daydream, remembering that he still a few matters to invite hyung-nim. considering he became in the office, now turned into the ideal possibility to do precisely that

Jin-Woo stopped on foot away after sensing that Yu Jin-Ho had something else to say from the manner the child become searching at him.

“Yeah?”

“Hyung-nim, it’s handiest been a day due to the fact we started advertising on the net process marketplace. however we’ve been swarmed by means of the applicants trying to emerge as our fellow founding members, so I went beforehand and compiled a list with a purpose to take a glance.”

“Oh, that. let’s speak about it when I come again.”

He changed into jogging short on time, first of all.

Yu Jin-Ho felt his very own urgency kick in, having seen how badly Jin-Woo wanted to be on his manner.

“Ah, hyung-nim! Have you decided at the name of the Guild?”

certainly, this changed into the maximum urgent problem of all of them.

due to the fact, you’d want a call of the Guild if you desired to location job postings at the bulletin boards, or maybe whilst accomplishing different reliable corporations, now wouldn’t it?

‘Does he have something in thoughts for the name of the Guild?’

Yu Jin-Ho’s heart was pounding in anticipation for Jin-Woo’s answer. He changed into fully organized to signify the names he had notion up if hyung-nim become unable to provide you with one.

‘Seong-Yu, Jin-Jin, Woo-Ho…. i’m hoping he finds one in all them to his liking.’

Jin-Woo contemplated for a bit at the same time as Yu Jin-Ho persisted to gaze at him with eyes glinting with the light of expectation. A smirk observed its manner to Jin-Woo’s lips and he eventually made his respond.

“How about, Solo Play Guild?” (TL: in the raw, it’s “Sol-Ple.” which is “Solo Play” however shortened.)

“Eh?”

Yu Jin-Ho blinked his eyes several instances.

changed into he supposed to begin laughing here? however, didn’t Jin-Woo’s expression seem like he wasn’t joking in any respect?

Jin-Woo didn’t anticipate to peer a response anyway, so he fast became towards the door to leave.

“so long.”

Yu Jin-Ho fell into a educate of idea while looking Jin-Woo make his go out from the office.

‘….So, there has been something hyung-nim couldn’t do, in the end.’

As predicted, his hyung-nim was a person, similar to anyone else.

even though he was afraid that the ‘Solo Play’ might get stuck as the Guild’s name, Yu Jin-Ho also felt only a tiny bit greater reassured after being reminded of Jin-Woo being a human like him.

***

The location of Hunter Min Byung-Gu’s funeral rite.

in the beginning, the plan become to preserve a small personal ceremony with best the close family invited to wait the occasion. however, there had been far too many individuals who wanted to pay their respects and so, the funeral had to be modified to a public one.

limitless humans showed as much as the funeral parlour to pay their respects and bear in mind Hunter Min Byung-Gu’s valiant sacrifice. Jin-Woo changed into among them.

‘Uh, uh? Isn’t that….?’

‘Heok! Isn’t he Hunter Seong Jin-Woo?’

‘It’s actually him!’

The funeral goers quickly determined Jin-Woo’s presence and commenced whispering to each different as their exhilaration heated up.
