Chapter 272
Episode 272 [Item Creator (1)]
There was no light anywhere except the door behind him.
black universe.
It was a completely different place from the past dimensional passages filled with countless lights.
There was no path to his dimension and the numerous coordinates he had created were not visible.
This was before he created the portals.
But I couldn’t go back then, but there were many stars…
Kyunghoon shook his head.
It was an expected sight, but I couldn’t help but feel depressed.
He eventually had no choice but to turn around and go back to the dimension door he came through.
It’s a disaster.
As he walked out the door, the black hole in the room disappeared.
“In the end, the only place we can move to now is the underground laboratory that was first dropped into this world.”
Over time, the coordinates for spatial movement would increase, but there was no way to move across dimensions right away.
Moreover, even if he moved to another dimension now, there was a high possibility that it would not be the world he lived in.
Of course, there was a way to go back even if we didn’t have to find a way now.
If you continue living here, you will eventually reach the same time zone.
But
“I can’t wait 20 years.”
This was not where he lived. Surviving a world that is falling apart alone for more than 20 years?
In a situation where Eve wasn’t around, Kyung-hoon honestly wasn’t confident.
However, I had no intention of being frustrated here.
I hadn’t recovered all my mana yet and I hadn’t even looked for a way. It is not too late to consider frustration after all failures.
Kyung-hoon opened the locked door and went out into the living room.
The living room was empty.
I took advantage of the opportunity while my housemate was out to test dimensional travel.
With all the attention around me, I couldn’t use my characteristics carelessly outside.
There was a listening device in the house, but I destroyed it right away.
Kyunghoon sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.
Now that the portal was checked, there was nothing to do immediately until my housemate returned.
The latest one occupies one side of the living room. PDP TV is the latest. Digital broadcasting was shown.
The screen was blurry.
[After North Korea turned into a monster field, South Korea became a situation no different from an island country.] [
Well, I guess it wasn’t that different before.]
[Hum hum. But unlike then, it’s a complete war situation now, isn’t it? All we had to do was protect the border, but now we have to stop the monsters that pour in from time to time. The troops and awakened people who enter there. And think about all kinds of supplies.]
[But they’re blocking it well, right? Look at the countries that failed and failed. At this level, they are doing an excellent job of preventing it.]
[There are countries that are doing a better job of preventing it. Look at countries like China and Russia. You are dealing with monsters well by granting mandatory military service to the awakened.]
[Are you telling us to ignore all the basic rights of the awakened? If that happens, do you think there will be even a single awakened person left in Korea?]
[Aren’t too many privileges being granted to the awakened! They are becoming a new privileged class.]
[These are the people who have protected the country to this extent. What will we do without them?]
[Ha, the guilds care about the country? Do you really think so? Don’t you remember how many times the guilds you are in charge of have been sued?]
[No, that’s a personal attack. The son of the lecturer who said that was said to have been discharged on medical grounds and seems to be doing well in college.]
[This person! You brought your family story here!]
[You started it! ]
It originally seemed like it was going to be a political conversation, but it ended up turning into a mess.
Kyunghoon sighed.
This world was no different.
No, even after the monster appeared, the world didn’t seem to have changed much.
Back.
Kyunghoon looked at the screen and then turned off the TV.
I could hear the elevator coming up outside. It seemed like my housemate was coming.
After a while.
Crash.
The front door opened.
“Hmm, it’s not just a normal mess. “The whole place is abuzz with stories of new A-level awakened people.”
Ahn Hyeong-min came inside and was shaking his head.
It seemed like the world’s interest had not cooled down yet.
He continued talking as he put down the luggage he had brought with him.
“The company seems to be in a state of disarray. Pressure coming from not only domestic but also foreign countries appears to be a joke. “It seems like it’s not easy to keep a secret.”
At Hyungmin’s words, Kyunghoon got up from the sofa.
He walked to the window and gently pulled back the curtains.
“Please come here.”
At Kyung-hoon’s gesture, Hyeong-min came to the window.
Kyunghoon pointed downward with his hand.
“Do you see the van?”
There was a van parked in the parking lot of the building in front.
“Yes. Why is that car?”
“It’s a car that’s been standing there since morning, and there are people inside. It looks like three people. It looks like they’re constantly watching this place from inside the car.”
Hyungmin blinked at Kyunghoon.
“From here, you can tell if there’s anyone in the car?”
“Because mana is flowing even if you are not an awakened person. Looking at the mana movement, it looks like there is a lot of electronic equipment in the car.”
“Is that something that an A-class awakened person can do?”
It wasn’t like he was a Class A awakened person. It was a technique only available to awakened people who could feel and see mana.
Suddenly, Hyeongmin looked surprised.
‘Could it be… eavesdropping?’
He opened his mouth silently.
To be honest, the National Intelligence Service was already doing wiretapping.
Of course, Kyung-hoon destroyed everything, but there were wiretaps installed in this safe house given by the National Intelligence Service.
“Well, I don’t know.”
Kyung-hoon shrugged his shoulders.
That kind of equipment seemed like enough to wiretap. Especially if it was the Korean branch of the CIA as Kyung-hoon expected.
And Kyung-hoon could have prevented the wiretapping in advance.
But he didn’t. The more lines, the better.
Especially when the wiretapping came on its own . It was polite to hold the line.
Since the National Intelligence Service failed to stop him, no one would be angry with him.
But he had no intention of continuing to be monitored. Since
everything he needed to say in the morning had been intercepted, it was time to go back.
Hyeong-min hurried to the National Intelligence Service . We contacted them, and after a while, the van pulled out of the parking lot.
And Deputy Director Eom apologized to Kyung-hoon on Hyeong-min’s cell phone.
[This is the CIA. I don’t know how they found out. I sent an official complaint. Unfortunately, it’s difficult as we are allies. I’m sorry. . If you are uncomfortable, we will move you to a safe house.]
“It’s okay.”
It wasn’t time to move yet. People would come to me if I waited, so there was no reason to go somewhere else.
[Okay, I apologize again. And I told Employee Ahn about the schedule.]
“Yes.”
When I returned the phone, Ahn Hyeong-min sighed.
“I was told that I could stay with the first A-rank awakened person, so I accepted it, but it seems that it is not as easy as I thought.”
I applied because I thought it would help me create items that were blocked in the future, but I felt like I had ended up in a burning powder keg.
“Well, there’s nothing we can do. “It’s not the first time my life has gone awry.”
He shrugged his shoulders with a bright face. He was a positive person in a strange way.
“Oh right. I almost forgot. “The hunting schedule has been set.”
Kyung-hoon clenched his fist at Hyung-min’s words.
It was finally time to meet the monster in this world and time zone.
***
Two days later, Nami Island dock.
A mid-sized yacht with its sails spread quietly approached the deserted dock.
The yacht stopped silently at the dock.
When the yacht stopped, people got off the yacht one by one.
Kyung-hoon, Ahn Hyeong-min, and even National Intelligence Service agents with cameras.
National Intelligence Service agents followed Kyung-hoon to film him hunting.
Several sunken ships were seen around the dock.
It looked like a ship that carried tourists to Nami Island.
“This is the ship that sank when the monster appeared. They did not come from North Korea, but suddenly appeared on Nami Island, causing many casualties. “Many passing ships were also attacked, paralyzing traffic in the area.”
As Kyung-hoon looked at the ship, one of the agents explained.
That was why they came on a yacht with a sail.
It was a story that Kyung-hoon had also heard, but the feeling of seeing it at the scene was different.
Unlike the world in which Kyung-hoon lived, in this world of Korea, monsters were everywhere.
Government awakeners and soldiers had a hard time stopping the monsters coming down from the north, and awakeners from companies and guilds did not hunt because there was a high risk of failure.
“I gave up trying to catch the monsters here because they didn’t come out of the island.”
Because the damage was not significant, the government did not move, and the monsters were too strong for regular guilds to take action.
Kyung-hoon also saw a blurry video of the scene.
The monster looked like a large hedgehog. The monster’s body was covered with numerous thorns.
Both the ships that sank here and the ship where the video was filmed were hit by the thorns and sank.
While the agent was explaining, Ahn Hyeong-min and the other agents groaned and pulled a large load from the ship.
“This is a weapon prepared by the company.”
As I unpacked my luggage at the dock, I saw something unexpected inside.
It was a large, rude-looking axe. It was not the size made for human use.
The ax looked like an ancient relic.
In short, it was old and unsightly.
“It’s a weapon that a humanoid monster had. “Unlike toys made by item makers, it properly accepts the mana of awakened people,”
the agent said proudly, while Ahn Hyeong-min looked gloomy.
It was an item prepared by the National Intelligence Service for A-class awakened people. There were only a few of these items in Korea, so the agent said proudly. This was worth bragging about.
Kyung-hoon lifted the large ax with one hand.
“Oh.”
He swung the ax lightly, and people looked at him with admiration.
It was just as the agent had said. It was an old and unsightly weapon with an uneven center of gravity, but it had a properly engraved pattern.
The ax received mana properly.
It glowed faintly . Everyone looked surprised when they saw the axe, but Kyung-hoon threw the axe to the floor.
Boom.
A
heavy sound rang
through the dock. Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu their their their their axe. The sound must have been too loud.
Everyone was scared. He looked at Kyung-hoon with an expression on his face, but Kyung-hoon indifferently opened his mouth to Hyung-min.
“You brought the sword you showed me before, right?”
“Huh? Yes. I brought it, but…”
“Please give me that.”
A loud noise was approaching little by little. People didn’t know what to do, but Gyeong-hoon just held out his hand toward Hyeong-min. Hyeong-min
hurriedly brought a sword from the boat.
It was the sword he had made. He showed it to Kyung-hoon in case he could get some help. .
Gyeong-hoon looked at the sword and only said, “Bring it here.”
Gyeong-hoon
picked up the sword. I saw lines drawn on the blade. They were more crooked and simple than the lines I saw when I first met Omar. The
pattern wasn’t drawn properly, so I couldn’t use Mana properly. I couldn’t even accept it.
But unlike that ignorant Dok2, it was properly made with modern technology. The
only thing it lacked was the pattern.
Kyung-hoon glanced at the agent holding the camera.
He was already taking pictures. The agent sent to check Kyung-hoon’s skills. It was.
Kyung-hoon put his index finger on the blade of the sword.
He was planning to show him what he wanted to show.
Mana was pushed out through the tip of his finger. My fingers started to glow.
He also drew a lot of patterns in his early days.
Of course, most of them failed because they were not proper producers.
But now that I felt Mana, it was different from then.
It wasn’t much compared to Omar, but it was still enough to hear the creator’s voice.
Cheezy.
Kyung-Hoon’s hand began to move over the blade.
New lines were drawn on top of the lines.
The materials that made up the pattern melted and flowed into the lines drawn by Kyung-hoon.
Wow!
A mound of thorns suddenly appeared beyond the hill.
Gyeonghoon pushed mana into the sword.
The sword began to glow brightly.
“This one is better. I’ll use this as my weapon.”
Gyeong-hoon ran towards the thorn mound with his sword, and Ahn Hyeong-min looked at the shining sword with a dumbfounded look on his face.
Suddenly.
A shining line passed over the thorny field.
