Episode 90
“A week off?”
– yes. You are the one who heard it.
The phone call from team leader Choi that evening was unexpected.
A week or a vacation. Any problems with the guild?
As my thoughts reached that far, there was a fact that suddenly bothered me.
“Um, you haven’t had trouble with the Sangdong guild, have you?”
– The Sangdong Guild?
“No, why, because of Lim Chang-soo’s problem… … – Oh, never mind that problem. I heard that the guild house remodeling will be finished in a week.
I’m glad nothing happened.
Are there times when you take a break from raiding because of the guild house remodeling?
‘It’s nice to have a week off.’
For the past 7 years, I have been running my life looking forward. These days, I have been going back and forth between Moorim and reality, and I have been spending my days without a break.
To be honest, I want to rest… … no. In times like this, you have to work harder. I said in a determined voice.
“Chief, I want to work.”
-Ah, it’s vacation, but the salary will go out normally.
“Then see you in a week.”
“I’ll hang up because I have to go to dinner.”
-… … yes.
When I hung up the phone, Ha-yeon came up to me with quick steps and bowed her head politely.
“Brother. Dinner is ready.”
“… … That way of speaking gives me goosebumps, so can you please stop?”
“You need to pay a fee to switch to speaking mode.”
“It makes it difficult to ask for pocket money.”
As Shin Saimdang holds out two cards, Ha-yeon smiles.
“Mom wants dinner.”
“Oh, what’s on the menu?”
“Beef Bulgogi. And the bean sprout soup I cooked.”
“Beef Bulgogi is delicious.”
“The bean sprout soup is delicious. I was praised by my mother.”
“Mom’s beef bulgogi is never betrayed. Always new, best, thrilling.”
A mother’s table full of dishes with her angry sister.
Is the vacation any good? I want to eat and sleep at home.
widely.
Choi Min-woo put down the disconnected smartphone. Deacon Kim, who was sitting at the table in the middle, asked.
“What did you say?”
“He was still worried.
About the Sangdong Guild.”
“The more you look at him, the more interesting he is. Even though he seems to act without thinking, he is quick to grasp the situation.”
Choi Min-woo tapped the table with his long fingers.
The sudden appearance of Jin Tae-gyeong is still a mystery even after some time has passed.
When we first met, he was nothing more than a sincere F-rank hunter, but yesterday he swept through the B-rank gate by himself.
‘It’s getting stronger.’
Yesterday’s doubt had turned to certainty.
Jin Tae-kyung is getting stronger. And very quickly!
“Do you have any additional information about Jin Tae-kyung?”
female], I double-checked, but nothing came out.”
Deacon Kim is a person who is sure of getting the job done. But this case is different. Choi Min-woo cautiously opened his mouth.
“Deacon Kim.”
“Yes, Bocchan.”
“if… … Can you find an example of a Third Awakener?”
“yes?”
Butler Kim’s eyebrows twitched.
The 3rd Awakener. It’s a name you’ve never heard of before. If there was such a hunter, no one would have used the word ‘reawakening’.
Reawakening is reawakening because there is no next.
“Bocchan, that is.”
Just as he was about to express his disapproval, a name flashed through Deacon Kim’s mind.
‘Jin Tae-kyung. I don’t know if it’s that young man.’
Deacon Kim is a living witness of the cataclysm. He made brilliant achievements and participated in numerous battles.
However, Jin Tae-gyeong was special even in his eyes.
‘Those movements… … It was truly amazing.’
Sometimes strong or graceful, efficient switching between offense and defense, and an innate fighting sense that knows when to advance and when to retreat.
Looking at Jin Tae-gyeong’s fight, the only expression that comes to mind is overwhelming.
‘The 3rd Awakener.’
It will take time, but it’s well worth looking into.
Butler Kim lowered his head.
“Let’s find out.”
“Thank you. Ah, how is the trend towards the Sangdong Guild?”

“The guards have been released. We will probably have most of the information within a few days.”
It wasn’t even half a day since he obtained the information that Lim Chang-soo was called to the guild manager’s office and beaten like a dog, but the guards were already starting to stick to him. It’s a faster-than-expected move.
“The target must be Jin Tae-kyung.”
“I would have taken it as the main character.
For now, I will thoroughly analyze the entire guild.”
“How about the other guild members?”
“In case I was followed, I kept my word. however… … Butler Kim paused and then added.
“Shouldn’t Jin Tae-kyung also be informed?”
“it’s okay. Rather, I wish that the Sangdong Guild’s intelligence is far superior to ours.”
The most unknown and the most revealing.
It is like looking at clear spring water and not being able to see what is in it.
Choi Min-woo wanted to get closer to Jin Tae-gyeong’s identity, even with the help of the Sangdong Guild.
“Rather than that, the head of the Sangdong guild must have been very angry.”
“Still, it seems that he has become very cautious. If it was like before, they would have come in and started a commotion.”
“Oh, maybe?”
At Minwoo Choi’s reaction, Deacon Kim smiled and nodded.
“I am acquainted with the Sangdong guild leader.”
“Is it bad luck?”
“well.”
Butler Kim’s smile deepened.
“what brings you here?”
I answered the question of the realtor with a sparkling forehead.
“I want to see the house.”
“The house you are looking for is monthly rent? charter? or not… …
“It’s for sale.”
“Oh, you are a young boss. I’m sorry, but wait a minute. I’ll just take care of mine and come right back. It’s so urgent that I have to be patient.”
When I said what to do with it, I was holding toilet paper in my hand.
If it’s nothing else, you need to deal with it quickly. I nodded, and the real estate agent rushed into the bathroom.
“Please wait on the sofa while eating something. Mocha bread on the table. turn it off”
Food gain. Food good.
I won’t be able to eat mocha bread from now on.
I groaned and leaned back on the sofa. A documentary about the cataclysm was playing on the TV screen that was already playing.
-Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
-Kwaguawang! pop!
– Urgent Breaking News. Currently, unidentified phenomena are taking place all over the country. Accordingly, the government declared martial law as of the present time… … .
People screaming and scattering, buildings collapsing and flames rising, news announcing the start of a cataclysm passed by one after another, and the haggard face of the US president filled the screen.
-I haven’t figured out their identities yet, but one thing is certain. They are our enemies. They are enemies not only of the United States of America, but of the whole world and of all mankind. Even at this moment, countless monsters are passing through the gate and invading the earth.
Gate.
Gate literally means door.
Demon King Asmodeus opened this door from beyond the dimension and descended to Earth. He along with an unfathomable legion of monsters.
‘After that, it’s as written in the textbook.’
Humanity was helpless. Urban areas, rural areas, mountains and seas, jungles… … . Gates and monsters spawned everywhere, killing and destroying.
When the hellish time called ‘the bloody week’ ended after the gates were opened, casualties numbered in the tens of millions and property damage was so great that even an accurate count could not be made.
– Cataclysm, the most terrible decade in human history.
About halfway through the documentary with subtitles, the bathroom door burst open.
“Phew, now I’m going to live.”
The real estate agent sat down, wiping his sweaty forehead.
“Sorry for making you wait so long.
You said you were looking into trading, right?”
“yes.”
“Are you on the way to stop by somewhere else? There must have been a lot of real estate on the way.”
“No, this is the first time.”
“Do you want to?”
Judging by the way he rolls his eyes, he seems to be contemplating whether or not to catch the hogu. I pretended not to know and held out a piece of paper.
The address was written on the note.
“I would like to see it for sale here.”
“If this address… … Is it a safe zone?”
you L”
“It’s a trade, right? Did you hear the wrong thing because you were in a hurry earlier?”
As he nods his head, the uncle’s eyes move slightly up and down.
Jeans and a white t-shirt. 20,000 won sneakers bought on the Internet at the market. It’s not something anyone would ever see.
“What kind of job do you have?”
“The gate jumps.”
“Oh, Hunter? no wonder. The young man has succeeded.”
A smile bloomed on the father’s face. Hunter is one of the representative high-paying jobs. It is not uncommon for young, well-to-do hunters to purchase expensive houses and cars.
he asked in a kinder tone.
“Did you get a rough idea of the market price?”
“I looked it up on the Internet on the way home.”
“You are lucky. Still, there are some items for sale. Let’s see… … The uncle starts making calls here and there busily to see if his body is hot.
After hanging up and calling again, maybe 5 minutes have passed? He tucked away his smartphone and turned to me.
“I found a property that is perfect for the boss. If you’re not busy, why don’t you go and have a look now?”
“Right, what.”
As I am on vacation, there is no reason to refuse. When I got up from my seat, the old man smiled broadly.

Boooung
I sat in the passenger seat of the car and watched the passing scenery. Rows of detached houses, interspersed shops, playgrounds and schools.
“A lot has changed… … At my murmur, the uncle glanced sideways.
“Are you the one who used to live here?”
“When I was young.”
3rd year of middle school. When I was 16, that was exactly 11 years ago. I was born and raised here, so it is my hometown.
“This place was redeveloped about 10 years ago, so it must have changed a lot. Originally, it was an old apartment complex, but it was turned over when the association was told that a branch would be built 30 minutes away.”
“okay.”
It’s a fact you already know. As soon as we heard the news of the redevelopment, house prices skyrocketed, and we decided to move because we couldn’t afford the rent that went up by hundreds of millions of dollars.
‘It was when my father passed away not too long ago.’
The night before moving, I saw my mother crying silently.
It was several years later that I heard that it was my parents’ newlyweds’ house.
“Arrived.”
I was taken aback by my uncle’s words. When I open the door and come out, I see a detached house with a yard.
“Here is the address the boss told you about. The landlord isn’t there at the moment, so let’s hurry up and come out.”
“Oh, wait.”
Is it because of the nostalgia of the past? Although the old apartment complex is already being torn down, it is somehow familiar.
‘still… … I’m glad it hasn’t changed too much.’
Even after going through redevelopment, there are old landscapes that remain. The man smacked his lips at the sight of me looking around, soaked in emotion.
“It’s been a while since you’ve come. It looks good.
At this point, would you like to just walk around the neighborhood?”
“Is that okay?”
“You’re going to make a contract. no?”
“no. you’re right.”
This house has to be bought somehow.
The old man smiled and took out a cigarette.
“Then let me help you, how long does it take to go around the neighborhood? He’ll be smoking a cigarette here, so don’t mind and go.”
After a light thank you, I started walking slowly.
‘Is this the right way?’
It was that moment when I passed through an alley and found a supermarket I used to go to as a child.
“When my brother was young, this was his hideout. When I was just smoking in middle school, my grandmother here is old, so… … A shiny foreign car parked in front of a supermarket. A couple of men and women who were having a conversation looked at me and hesitated.
No, it was the male side to be exact. Shaking his head, he approached me and said.
“Do you know me?”
