“Thank you for coming again. I wanted to talk more. at ease.”
“It’s me who is thankful. “Thanks to you, I am confidently receiving an unexpected reward.”
“Anyway, it was a dungeon where I would have been lucky if I hadn’t died, let alone conquered it without you. “I am grateful.”
“Let’s assume we both benefit.”
“okay! “It seems like I keep saying the same thing over and over again, doesn’t it?”
Jeong Yu-ri smiled and responded to the heartwarming scene that is rarely produced as they expressed their gratitude to each other.
It’s not enough to say that I did a good job and it’s all thanks to me, but they show gratitude to each other.
It’s a rare experience.
Kang-hu knew that Jeong Yu-ri was a person with a lot of heartache, so he planned to continue to treat her friendly.
I know that she doesn’t act in a calculated and selfish way anyway.
“If you ever need to come out into the world again, please contact me. It’s my number. “If you’re not in a dungeon, you’ll definitely get it.”
Kang-hoo handed over his number to Jeong Yu-ri. This was the first case where I left my contact information to the other person.
“thank you. I’ll be sure to contact you when I get out of Ground Zero. “It was fun and enjoyable.”
“Thanks to you, I feel refreshed too.”
Ganghu nodded.
Unless there is a change of heart right away, Jeong Yu-ri will not suddenly appear in the world.
However, since we have created a relationship, it will not be difficult to continue it at any time.
That was the end of my short but long time with Jeong Yu-ri.
It was a fruitful time where I gained confidence and had the opportunity to strengthen my skills.
When it comes to skill strengthening, I decided to think more deeply rather than focusing on a specific skill right away.
This is a worry that arises because I have many skills I want to strengthen. Because you have to choose one of many options.

Before returning to Seoul Station.
Before arriving at Imjingang Station, I received texts from Lee Ye-rin and Han Seo-yeon almost simultaneously.
I looked at the contents out of curiosity and found that both had the same contents.
Cha So-hee is at Seoul Station.
Since both people have their eyes set on Cha So-hee, the same information must be being collected.
Seeing as there were no problems even though the eyes were glued on for quite a long time, it seemed like both of them had skilled hunters.
After sending a short thank you text message to the two people.
I started returning to Seoul using a private taxi rather than a safety bus or KTX.
And I modified the path.
I decided to take a safety bus from Seoul Express Bus Terminal, not Seoul Station, towards Gwangju Songjeong Station.
There were no other options.
The only way to get to Gwangju Songjeong Station was Seoul Station or the bus terminal.
There were many dangerous areas in the middle, so it was difficult to guarantee safety without using KTX or safety buses.
Renting a car is also possible, but something dangerous happens along the way.
‘Considering their intelligence power, I think they held up quite well.’
I wasn’t surprised or embarrassed.
If Cha So-hee, who is not an ordinary hunter but Kang Dong-hyun’s confidant, made a move, it was only a matter of time.
Rather, it is correct to say that they played hide and seek for quite a long time even though Eclipse’s intelligence power was mobilized considerably.
It is inconsistent to give up an opportunity to become stronger or shrink back because you are afraid of attention and attention.
If you become stronger, you will eventually be noticed by someone.
This was inevitable and natural, and it was something that would continue to happen again in the future.
In the end, it was a matter of when I would meet Cha So-hee, but I hoped it wouldn’t be right now.
At least, I hope it was after seeing what happened at Gwangju Songjeong Station?
Because I know her stats and abilities.
The current level is expected to be at least 250, and he is a magic hunter specializing in the fire type.
The problem is that although he is a magic hunter, he also has a tendency to enjoy close combat.
Additionally, since he knows how to use a dagger, he is bound to be a difficult opponent in many ways.
‘It’s not a hunting dog for nothing.’
It is not a meaningless nickname.
This is the nickname given to her because once she starts biting, she won’t let go until she dies.
Given the circumstances, it seems like Cha So-hee is trying to capture her alive for some reason rather than trying to kill her.
I had no intention of complying obediently.
As it sounds, it means that you will have to live like a slave for the rest of your life under the command of Eclipse. Just like in the concentration camp.
Then, in the end, he has no choice but to confront Cha So-hee, and one of them must die for the situation to end.
Even if you have no intention of killing Cha So-hee, if you don’t cooperate, she will reveal her murderous intent first.
There is no compromise.
Either die or live.
Kang Hu arrived in Seoul by private taxi and headed straight to Namsan Tower.
According to Lee Ye-rin’s report, Cha So-hee was still waiting at Seoul Station.
I changed my destination to Seoul Express Bus Terminal for another trip, but there was a lot of bus time left.
So, rather than doing anything else, I chose Namsan Tower as my destination to get some air and gather my thoughts.
“It’s nice that it’s quiet.”
Perhaps because of the heavy rain falling, only a few people were seen inside the observatory.
In front of the large window, a table and sofa were set up so that everyone could relax and enjoy a drink.
It’s been about two years since it was remodeled to this format, and the reason was because of Jang Si-hwan.
Jang Si-hwan often visits the observatory, and at his request, the tower changed the entire observatory stairs.
What is not surprising is that it is described that way in the original work.
‘I created this situation.’
Kanghu was lost in thought as he looked down at downtown Seoul, where the sky was covered with dark clouds and rain was pouring down.
In the original work, the emotions that Jang Si-hwan felt as he looked down on Seoul were conveyed to Kang-hu as well.
【For Jang Si-hwan, the observatory was always a place where he could plan the future and tighten the loose present.
He always gained strength here and gained energy to go forward. Because there were still many tasks in the world that I had to accomplish.】
The phrase in the original came to mind without a single mistake.
Now that I think about it, the word ‘task’ feels really scary.
The main character’s task was to advance to an ending that throws the world into the devil’s jaw.
How could a future like this be designed without the original author getting shot in the head?
It felt like my temple had been shot somewhere, so I pressed it down with my fingertips.
Seeing Seoul in front of the wide glass window gave me the freedom to plan the future and look back on the present.
There are no special effects here, but it may be because it resonates in your heart whether you know it or not.
‘I can’t face all thirteen stars alone. In the end, I also need allies.’
I read the situation calmly.
Among the thirteen stars, Ganghu may be able to remove some with his own hands.
But they’re not stupid.
Two or three people may be hit like that, but the remaining survivors will join forces and respond collectively.
In the end, it is necessary to make a large board and create several chess pieces within it.
When the king is alone, even an enemy with a sword cannot defeat Ma and Sang’s subordinates. In the end, he gets caught in a scam.
‘First of all, hold the line with Lee Ye-rin clearly. If you take care of Jeong Yuri, take care of Ahn Young-ho, and even create a connection with Abyss…’
My thoughts become clearer.
In addition, you can change the future of the forces that are later eliminated by Jang Si-hwan and the Jeonghwa Guild.
Because there is an issue that will cast a dark future on Lee Hyeon-seok, the leader of the warlord ‘Abyss’.
Since we can look into the future, we can naturally sketch out how we can respond now.
Right then.
“…!”
Kang-hu instinctively felt the strange energy that suddenly enveloped him and turned his head in his seat.
It was not a feeling that came from overflowing mana or a unique sense of survival, but rather a feeling of fate.
Did you feel a tingling sensation, as if you had already naturally recognized the other person’s existence in your subconscious?
What I saw when I turned my head was none other than Jang Si-hwan.
It was the main character of the original work and also the biggest mountain that Ganghu would have to climb one day.
Jang Si-Hwan He is the culprit of the tragedy that is racing endlessly toward the end of the world.
‘It was a VIP seat.’
The seat where Jang Si-hwan sat had the best view of Namsan Mountain. Moreover, the sofa you sit on is a top-of-the-line luxury sofa. This is truly a place for Jang Si-hwan.
Jang Si-hwan’s constellation information that was naturally scanned was 10.
Not everything has been scanned.
The maximum number of constellations that appear in the first list is 10, so only that is visible.
Kanghu looked down and there were pages like this [1] [2] [3].
Even except for the constellation information on page 1, it was not visible at all from page 2 onward.
As we saw with Yu Cheong-hwa earlier, there is a constellation that hides information, such as the ‘Silent Woman’.
‘If I remember correctly, there are only 30 constellations that have signed a contract. ‘That’s crazy.’
Where will my memories of the main character, whom I wrote more carefully than anyone else, go?
I didn’t even want to remember what constellations I had.
There must be one or two things that were pushed without thinking in the name of buffing the main character.
Kang Hu deliberately did not look at the list carefully.
Right now, trying to know for sure is a disease and a poison.
So I quickly shook off the memories of Jang Si-hwan’s constellations that kept popping up in my head.
As I made up my mind to think about other things, I was somehow able to push the memories away.
‘So it might be fun.’
Kang-hu suddenly wondered if he had gone crazy.
I thought that the process of growing would not be boring because I had a goal that I had to constantly look up to.
Regardless of the short-term level, is it perfect motivation in the long-term or very long-term?
I have never forgotten my promise to surpass Jang Si-hwan ever since I came to this world.
then.
Isn’t it much more convenient to grow by always looking upward?
There is no need to change your goal settings.
In addition, Kang Hu was quite aware of future privileges and opportunities that Jang Si-hwan had not yet taken advantage of.
I couldn’t dare to do it right now because my level was low, but there are benefits that are slowly coming into view.
It goes without saying, but these are all going to be taken over.
I can’t give Jang Si-hwan even a single grain of rice.
At that time, Jang Si-hwan’s eyes naturally fell on Kang-hoo.
His red eyes and long, straight black hair intertwined with each other, giving off a decadent feel.
It was a decadent beauty that was different from Kang Hu, whose signature pale and bloodless face was his signature.
Jang Si-hwan spoke first.
“On days when it rains so heavily, not many people come to the observatory… It’s surprising.”
“I want to come here sometime.”
“I guess this is your first time here, right?”
“That’s right.”
Unlike Jang Si-hwan’s voice, which had its own intonation and tone, Kang-hu’s words were cold and low-pitched.
Jang Si-hwan chuckled, twisting his hair with his fingers as if it was surprising that Kang-hu didn’t make a fuss about seeing a famous person even after seeing him.
It is common to not know what to do when you see Jang Si-hwan.
Kang Hoo was the only one who looked at Jang Si-hwan face to face and received his words dryly without changing his expression at all.
For Jang Si-hwan, who was accustomed to receiving both respect and envy from others, it was a completely different reaction.
So much so that one wonders who this person is.
