Min Byeong-wook walks towards the Xenics main building.
He suddenly recalled the past.
10 years ago.
I still vividly remembered what happened in Geumchi Village, where he was born.
“Kill every single one of them!”
“Extinguish all the energy of darkness!”
I was coming home from school.
The Geumchi Village he witnessed was nowhere to be seen.
There were blood-stained casualties all around, and most of the homes were in flames. The fire was cruelly devouring everything.
It was a moment when I suddenly had no idea what was happening.
My mother had deep cuts all over her body.
The words he sobbed to his son Min Byeong-wook were cruel.
[I… Never show black or black magic… Can not be done. ah… Son… love you.]
My mother’s last will is still vividly heard.
Since then, Min Byung-wook’s tear ducts have dried up.
A time when innocent people were forced to die.
The origins of the tragic incident date back to the time when the 6th Demon King Iculus existed.
Just before Iculus disappears from the world.
I had no idea that what he said would lead to a dark future for Min Byeong-wook.
[On the day when the energy of darkness covers the whole world, everything will return from me! Hahahaha!]
At first, I thought it was just something Iculus said randomly.
but,
From the year Iculus disappeared, abnormal climates began to appear in various countries.
In Taiwan, heavy rain has been pouring down continuously for nearly five years.
Conversely, Japan continued to experience severe drought during the same period.
In Korea, the concept of four seasons was completely eliminated and only winter and summer were repeated.
It may have seemed like a simple climate change, but there was another reason that made me even more confident.
Mutant viruses spread from crops grown by humans, and monsters invaded the gates and appeared in large numbers.
not only.
Monsters of unknown types also appeared at random. Because of this, hunters in each country had no choice but to make unfortunate sacrifices.
In each country, people began to appear who thought that this was the moment to signal the resurrection of the Demon King.
So the last words of the Demon King Iculus became more prominent.
[The day when the energy of darkness covers the whole world!]
This suggestive word continued to be spoken among hunters.
Among the wizards, harsh eyes began to be focused on those who mainly dealt with black magic.
That’s because black magic had its origins in the power of the devil.
Sharing the devil’s mana is black magic. So, I couldn’t help but be suspicious of the legal experts who handled it.
In particular, Geumchi Village, located in Yangyang, was famous as a place where black magicians mainly lived.
Because of this, some people began to believe that they were the culprits of all abnormal climates.
Naturally, people began to despise them and even planned to systematically assassinate them.
Min Byeong-wook’s family too.
Innocent family members and relatives were killed by a group of assassins.
Using this point as an excuse, Min Byeong-wook began living with a desire for revenge.
“I will definitely find it.”
Just because it deals with black magic.
Families who suffered innocent deaths.
Min Byeong-wook couldn’t even protect his own family.
He believed that the only way to survive was to become stronger.
At the time when I was a student at Xenix Academy.
Thinking about how I had lived my life hiding my black magic as much as possible, I still felt angry.
The past days were spent suppressing the self that was filled with purple magic as much as possible.
Now it was time to gain new power and take revenge on the world.
What if I get this opportunity to get my hands on a ‘staff made of world trees’?
I planned to unleash the dark energy and dark magic that had been hidden for so long.
A ‘staff made from the world tree’ that absorbs a certain amount of magical power possessed by any type of hunter.
Min Byung-wook was able to freely use various magical powers beyond his own dark magic.
He definitely wanted to take over the staff.
This alone surpassed the level of combat power of an S-class hunter, and I became even more greedy because there was almost no one that could compete with it.
A staff member who can show off everything Min Byung-wook desires and pursues.
That was the ‘staff made from world trees.’
‘The resurrection of the Demon King may be decided in my hands.’
There is only one driving force that has kept him going until now.
It is truly a day filled with the energy of darkness, just like the devil’s will(?).
Min Byung-wook thought that if he could resurrect the Demon King, he would be able to move the world with his own hands.
In order to revive the Demon King, the unique properties of dark magic must be spread into the ‘Dimension of Hell.’
Because the Demon King was an unknown being who could only be revived in the ‘dimension of hell’.
If a being injecting black magic appears in the ‘Dimension of Hell’, it is no different from a concluded contract.

In other words, the only one who can control the dark magic flowing through the core of the Demon King’s body.
It had to be a being infused with dark magic.
Min Byung-wook reminisces about the past and the shame he has received.
I wanted to somehow return this shame.
In the meantime.
When he graduated from Xenix Academy after many twists and turns, someone reached out to him.
Ha Gwan-min, the actual leader of the terrorist group Black Wiz.
The only person who gave Min Byeong-wook his hand.
10 years ago when I first met Ha Kwan-min.
Min Byeong-wook was drawn into him without even realizing it as he suddenly approached and extended his hand.
[It really has the beautiful magic of light, black magic. You must have had a hard time hiding that power. What is it like? Wounds received from Hunter. Don’t you want to pass judgment with your magic power?]
I was in a situation where I couldn’t rely on anyone.
He still could not forget the presence of Ha Gwan-min, who gave him a warm hand.
Since then.
Min Byung-wook’s loyalty to Ha Gwan-min grew day by day.
Even just now, the purple magical energy he received from Ha Gwan-min was flowing, even if only slightly, in Min Byeong-wook’s body.
Min Byeong-wook, who fused some of Ha Gwan-min’s magic power with his own dark magic power.
Min Byeong-wook, who felt that a new life had begun, developed a desire for revenge and became more and more corrupted.
‘We’re taking a new leap forward again!’
Min Byung-wook dreamed of taking a leap forward.
I wanted the energy of dark magic to grow day by day, completely erasing the days of being tied down by past oppression.
Eventually, the day to repay the revenge of the past 10 years arrived.
Min Byung-wook boldly walked towards the Xenics main building.

Meanwhile, Kim Pan-seo, who had received a favor from Min-jun, visited Xenix Academy.
“It’s a shame because I happen to be here to get an estimate. If it had been any other time, it wouldn’t have been possible. “Do you know what I mean?”
“I know very well.”
“But what’s going on, telling someone who’s busy to come and go?”
Min-jun knew that Pan-seo Kim would be near Xenix Academy for work.
When Kim Pan-seo looked at me with an expression full of curiosity, I asked calmly.
“It’s no big deal. “Please lend me the staff that the customer requested a quote from, just for today.”
“what?! Are you crazy? “Do you know how much this costs and want to borrow it?”
“Don’t do that, just for one day. “It’s not something to write harshly about.”
“Why did you leave the healthy Black Palace behind? “What are you going to do with this staff?”
“It’s not something I would write.”
“If not you, who?”
That was when Kim Pan-seo asked Min-jun.
Anna Park, who had been away for a moment, appeared.
“You’re here just in time. This friend got to compete in Genius Wars. “The staff I’m holding right now is not in good condition.”
“… … .”
“Things got a little worse. “I will give you an opportunity to show great generosity.”
“What nonsense are you saying…” .”
Kim Pan-seo was definitely not willing to listen to the favor.
However, I was speechless when I saw Park Anna appearing with flowing red hair.
“I need to ask you a favor. “There are circumstances that require that.”
“Wow, if you really ask for it… . Well, I can listen to you.”
“also!”
On the other hand, Anna Park had no way of knowing what the situation was.
I turned my head back and forth and looked at Solji Yoon.
In response, Solji Yoon borrowed Anna Park’s ear for a moment.
“sugar… Since we don’t have any staff that can be used right now, Min… “I guess Minjun asked her friend for a favor.”
“… !!”
“Ah, from earlier… “He’s very persuasive.”
“Really?”
“huh.”
“What’s going on!”
When Yoon Sol-ji, who was next to her, explained the situation coherently, Park Anna suddenly blushed.
“Oh, really?! “Minjun for me?”
Park Anna immediately covered her cheek with both hands.
He was touched by Min-jun’s desire to somehow solve the difficult situation for him.
“If I express it this way, I’m so embarrassed~”
Before I knew it, I was twisting my right foot and not knowing what to do.
But contrary to what she thought.
Minjun had a secret plan in mind.
‘I guess I can make it look roughly similar.’
‘The staff made from the world tree’ and the staff Anna Park is holding now.
In many ways, they looked similar.
Although Park Anna’s staff is a bit less luxurious.
With just a little bit of work, it looked like it wouldn’t be much different from the ‘staff made from world trees’.
Eventually, Minjun extended his hand to Anna Park.
“uh?! Why are you suddenly putting your hand on me… “Shame on you~”
“No, give me your staff.”
“staff?! ah! this?!”
“Oh, I have something to use.”
“… ?”
Anna Park immediately gave the staff to Minjun.
As soon as he received the staff, Minjun quickly grabbed the staff that Panseo Kim was holding.
Shock-!
“So, I understand you are lending it?”
“Anyway. “I can’t stop you.”
Min-jun immediately gave the staff he had taken from Pan-seo Kim into Anna Park’s arms.
“Here, take it.”
“uh? uh… okay. thank you.”
“Say hello to this friend. “If it wasn’t for the editor, I wouldn’t have been able to do it.”
“huh.”
Anna Park’s face became more reddish.
This is because, for the first time, I felt that Min-jun had a tough(?) side as well as a kind side.
“Then, I go first. “I have something urgent to do.”
Minjun took Anna Park’s staff and left immediately.
He left without saying a word.
“Oh, and! Tell Seo-ah I’m sorry. “I’ll go right away as soon as I finish my business.”
Soon, Minjun walked quickly towards the Xenix main building.
***
Xenics Academy main building.
Due to the competition being in full swing, things were a bit chaotic for a while.
Security hunters thoroughly audited the main building and looked around.
“Be alert. “Especially since the president has warned us several times.”
“All right!”
“If you sense anything suspicious, report it immediately.”
“yes!”
Jo Han-min, a C-rank hunter in charge of security.
He repeatedly warned his successors.
Especially, since it is the ‘Rookie Hunter World Competition’, which is said to be a big stage worldwide.
It was also natural to pay strict attention to security.
“Hmm, they say they are strengthening their security as much as possible… . “I feel uneasy for some reason.”
For some reason, Jo Han-min felt particularly heavy today.
Even though the main building is a place where you cannot enter unless you personally confirm it.
In many ways, I felt uneasy.
And this feeling of reluctance all along was definitely not wrong.
“It’s a lot of hard work in many ways.”
With a cone hat.
A man wearing black sunglasses spoke up.
“Outsiders are not allowed here. “I’m sorry, but please go back.”
When Jo Han-min tried to turn away the outsider with a stern tone, the man with the conical hat bowed.
“Well, I have some business to do here too. “I would like you to allow me to enter.”
“No outsiders are allowed in today. sorry.”
“Well, I didn’t come all this way to get an apology. “It’s really inconvenient.”
Of course, Jo Han-min had no way of knowing the identity of the cone hat.
He continued to block outsiders from entering.
“I have not received any specific information about outsiders who can enter. “Please go back.”
Then, the man with the cone hat straightened his lower back.
“I was a student at Xenix here too, and it’s really uncomfortable to hear. there’s nothing we can do. “I have no choice but to break through with my own strength!”
