On the day of the joint state funeral for the victims, the reporters who were trying to return after finishing their coverage were distracted by the bomb that fell on their heads.
No, it was the same for everyone except for a very few people who had obtained information in advance.
Cheon Tae-min. An immortal hero whose everything has been shrouded in a veil for the past twenty years.
Even in the waves that hit the Ares guild, his only bloodline, which had not been revealed until the end, appeared in front of the camera.
It was only natural that the media from around the world, including Korea, opened fire at once.
[Peace Guild Choi Min-woo, Team Leader,
“My maternal grandfather is Cheon Tae-min.”
] [Press conference room in shock. 10 seconds of silence.]
[Foreign media buzz. The bloodline of a living legend. Who is Choi? [Is it false or true? The truth battle surrounding Choi Min-woo’s shocking remarks.] [Peace Guild Spokesperson,
“Choi Min-woo confirmed as the new guild leader of the Peace Guild.] [Ares guild officials,
“Convocation of the official board of directors related to Choi Min-woo. It is highly likely that the new deputy guild leader will be appointed.”
] [Peace Guild’s new captain, and Ares Guild’s love call [Kakao Page web novel reader Toll*s, comments on episode 599 of a certain novel.
“Choi Min-woo’s bag is a great bag. Look at the funny Gigant riders.” Writer Baru “?”1 The four major morning newspapers in Korea as well as the foreign press covered issues related to Choi Min-woo with great importance.
Even on the web novel serialization platform, nonsense was rampant, so I could see the repercussions.
There was a brief truth battle about this, but it quickly subsided.
It was because Go Se-won, who was more knowledgeable about the internal affairs of the Ares Guild than anyone else, and Magic Johnson opened their mouths.
[Former security team leader Go Se-won,
“Choi Min-woo’s statement is the truth. Having lost his parents when he was young, he has been excluded from the Ares Guild for the past 20 years.”
]
[U.S. Great Mage Magic Johnson,
“He is definitely the grandson of Cheon Tae-min, and he is a very capable and attractive person who has grown the Peace Guild up to now. By the way, where is Kang hee Lee now? Are you taking a shower?”

[Overseas reaction.
“Where is the Slayer?”
]
“Jin Tae-kyung?”
Hearing the voice piercing my ears, I took my eyes off the smartphone. The face that appears countless times in the photos in the article was right there.
He, who became the new captain of the Ares Guild amid numerous applause and cheers, asked with a calm expression.
“What are you looking at?”
“An article about Team Leader Choi. No, should I say guild leader now? Or an assistant guild leader?
“Anything is fine, so you can call it whatever you like.”
“Um, is that so? Is it Minwoo?’ “ah… … Feel free to call me Choi Min-woo, the guild leader.” “It’s very inconvenient. I’ll just call you team leader from now on.” Considering people’s eyes and the position he held, it would be correct to call him the guild leader, but it was an offer Choi couldn’t refuse.
It would be a hundred times better than calling me Minwoo.
“… … All right.”
Team leader Choi’s gaze scans the surroundings after answering with a puzzled expression.
A large, devastated area that has not been deliberately restored in order to ensure that the investigation proceeds. It is Area A hidden in the headquarters of the Ares Guild.
‘It was hidden now, I should say.’ I muttered in my heart as I crossed the familiar hallway.
Perhaps because it was the place where he had a fierce battle with Seok-jun Seok-jun, who caused the mutation, all kinds of wreckage are full wherever his eyes and steps are directed.
‘Looking at it again, it’s incredibly wide.’
It’s not an orchard, it seems that the area that I roughly checked with my eyes is over 1,000 pyeong.
The problem is that the two of us, Team Manager Choi and I, have to dig through this space like teeth.
No, strictly speaking, they are not alone. It’s just that another member isn’t human.
Come out, man.”
Swoop.
It’s not a person, but a guy who looked like a person jumped out of the inventory and muttered.
“Are my eyes wrong? Apparently he said he would take me to the club. I heard you play drinking games with the beauties?”
To the Skeleton King who was making an unfair expression, I confidently replied.
“We’re going to play a treasure hunt game here.”
“If you find it quickly, they will take you to a real club. Bet Hyuk Moo-jin’s balls.”
“.. like a wicked human being. Trust me one last time But who the hell is Hyuk Moo-jin, so he keeps betting on fire?”
After lightly ignoring the Skeleton King’s words, I gestured to Team Leader Choi.
“Chief, let’s go over there. I’m on this side Golgol will take over over there.”
“I think the scope of my assignment is too broad.”
“No, the manager makes me sad. Hit me up if you don’t like it. Is it my grandfather’s house? He is your grandfather.”
“It just makes sense, I see.”
After completing the division of roles, we moved quickly.
And three hours later, they gathered together and muttered with serious faces.
“Shisheol… … I can’t eat it.”
“For some reason, the mana detector isn’t working. This is a real masterpiece I bought at Sotheby’s.”
“human. It’s a treasure hunt game, dog no jam.”
Considering Lee Jeong-ryong’s meticulous personality, I thought that finding the secret space would not be easy, but I didn’t expect it to be this much.
It’s not that the government investigation team went back to nothing.
‘Even in the office there is no response. Could it be that the information is wrong?’ However, Ko Se-won is currently the closest person to the secrets of the Ares Guild. Lee Blue Dragon and Song Chun-woo. Now that Seok-jun Seok-jun is dead, the only thing to believe in his words… … .
“uh?”

In an instant, a thought flashed through my mind and my eyes widened without my knowledge.
Team leader Choi and the Skeleton King, who were pounding the mana detector with their fists, asked at my reaction.
“Why is that?”
“Oh, did you remember a good club?”
“No, wait. It’s because there’s a place to guess.”
I quickly recalled my memories of Area A. The battle with Seo Seok-jun and the first victory. and… … .
‘When I come back. He was running away.’ At that time, Seok-jun Seok-jun, who had transformed into a terrible mixture of a human and a monster, was clearly running away.
But the important thing is ‘where’ you were heading.
‘That’s it. There’s something I haven’t found there.’ Tadak, shuiik!
Without thinking, I threw myself away. Team leader Choi and the Skeleton King hurriedly followed behind me, shooting like the wind.
It was a place I had visited many times before, but something was different this time.
Swoop.
Endless hallways and several rooms. Slowing down, I raised my spirits while leaning against the wall.
A blue circle spreads around me along with a system notification that sounds like a ring.
However, even after searching the hallways and rooms, there was no notification that anything was found.
Shaaaaaaah.
The range of [feelings] is determined by the system, and what I can grasp is just that.
However, but is this really all there is?
‘further. wider.’
I breathed calmly. The sounds around you fade away, and the gong energy from the danjeon adds strength to your senses.
and… … The moment when Jungdanjeon (中丹田) finally responded.
Shoot Aaaaaaa!
The stopped blue circle stretched out. Beyond the visible space, towards another secretly hidden space.
At the end, there was a notification I was waiting for.
belt ring.
Do” 已 Butim utaix 6g flower ring.
– I got a realization about [Interruption]!
– Partial [Interruption] is activated!
– [Interruption] Activation: 10% – The efficiency of all martial arts and air power is slightly increased, and sometimes you can exert power beyond the limit!
– Achieved a rare achievement, [Before Abortion]!
– Acquired a large amount of experience as an achievement reward!
– Level up!
‘activate?’
I didn’t expect this
It’s been more than a month since I opened the jungjeongjeon, but I didn’t know it would be useful.
And following the system notification of an unexpected reward, the long-awaited news came.
belt ring.
– The range of [Feeling] is expanded!
– Can’t pinpoint the target!
– I feel an unknown, strange power!
It failed to identify the target, but this is not a failure, but a success.
Convinced that there was something on the other side of this wall, I hit the wall without hesitation.
Kwak!
As the solid wall bursts open, empty space is revealed.
Area A, hidden on the top floor of the Ares Guild Headquarters, is filled with various barriers and invisible magic. And it was being maintained by gravity magic.
Naturally, the investigation team dispatched by the government would have been aware of this fact.
The problem is, I missed the most important thing.
‘No, I must have missed it.’
I reached over the collapsed wall and touched the air. Nothing felt, literally empty air. The mana meter in Choi’s hand is still silent.
But I was sure. The conviction that there must be something beyond this turns Hwar Samgapja’s zealous keeper into flames. I silently looked down at the blue-white flames of my hands, then reached out with my eyes gently closed.
‘What you see is not everything.’ This is a matter of cognition. You must see and feel with your heart, not with your eyes, but with your instincts and senses.
As they put their heart and soul into concentrating and generously channeling their energy, a weakly open halt battle responded in response.
The shimmering flame slowly subsided and completely wrapped around the entire hand.
compression. refinement.
and… … .
Kwadeuk.
Finally, I tore apart the flow of qi that was caught in my grasp.
Chow ah!
The air split with blue-white flames.
All kinds of magic unknown to me are dispelled by strong energy, and a gap in a new space appears.
Skeleton King and Team Leader Choi muttered as they stared blankly at the scene unfolding in front of them.
勿1, tore it up.”
“No, how the hell did this… …
“Originally, when the body is bad, the head suffers. Let’s go.”
“… … Isn’t it usually the other way around?”
“Yes. normally.”
But I’m not normal.
Seeing my reply casually, Team Leader Choi threw the mana detector in his hand behind his back.
hmm. Also, having a good body is the best.
It was fortunate that the top floor was left empty in case of an unexpected situation.
Otherwise, it would have been broadcast live in real time as they entered an unknown subspace.
Swoop.
When I stepped into the vertical crack, a completely different world was unfolding there.
‘What’s this.’
It was wide and tall. And there was a mixture of elegance and splendor that was unfamiliar to me.
Team leader Choi and Skeleton King, who entered after them, were also busy looking around, at a loss for words.
“That… … Team leader Choi’s eyes trembled as he stepped on the soft carpet on the floor.
He muttered as he carefully scanned the paintings hanging in the wide hallway.
“Salvator Mundi.”
I asked in a displeased voice.
“Did you just call me Mundi?”
“No, that’s the title of that painting. Salvator Mundi. It’s Leonardo da Vinci’s masterpiece, but have you never heard of it?”
“I heard it from my mother sometimes.
My hometown is Gyeongsang City.”
“What is your expression? Are you ignoring Gyeongsang Province now? Was Choi a person with local feelings?”
“What? Local feelings?”
That’s not what Chief Choi said. The Skeleton King, who was looking around, suddenly interrupted with an eerie expression.
“Regional feelings must be eliminated. In that sense, this body from the Demon Realm also agrees with the opinions of wicked people.” “Seeing the undead pup sneak up on his bones, you’re out of it.” “No, I feel dirty. Why the hell would I even help?” “In the demon realm, it’s not regional emotion, it’s dimensional emotion. sissy bastard If you only listen to it, you will know what kind of demon is next to Jirisan.” “The gate I was active in was in Bucheon.
Of course, I’m from Atlanta, Georgia, USA.” “Are you crazy, really?” While arguing with the Skeleton King, who crosses dimensions and borders, Team Leader Choi, who had given up on the conversation early and was walking around the hallways and opening closed doors, suddenly opened his mouth.
“Both of you, please stop and come here.”
The Skeleton King replied with an upright attitude like a scholar.
“This body is the lord of the undead. I don’t listen to people who are tainted with regional feelings.” “Give me, follow me if you don’t want to explode.” I grabbed the guy talking nonsense by the collar and moved on.
And the moment I checked inside the wide open door following Team Manager Choi’s gesture, I realized why he had called me.
“This… … Even though not a single light was on, the inside of the door was as bright as day. It was because of the magic stones neatly placed on the display stand.
Among them, the basics were A-class magic stones, and the number of grasps alone amounted to about five hundred.
‘How much would it be if I converted this into money?’ An astronomical value that can’t even be guessed at.
Furthermore, the five S-class magic stones that emit the brightest light in the top row are treasures that are hard to find even if you have money.
“Then this is all… … ?”
Team leader Choi nodded slightly towards me, who was blurting his tongue.
“It is clear that Lee Jeong-ryong stole it. From what I’ve checked so far, the other rooms are the same.”
“This crazy… … .”
“In kind, such as gold bars, diamonds, and bonds, as well as magic stones. And it is full of various art objects that are said to have disappeared after the cataclysm.”
What Choi said was true. Every time the doors lined up on either side of the long hallway were opened, treasures of great or priceless value were revealed.
It’s been a long time since the calculator in my head was smashed on a scale beyond my imagination.
‘I expected it to some extent… … You really talked too much.’ After the cataclysm, the existence of gates and magic stones is the second oil money. No, it took its place beyond that, and the giant guilds had the wealth and status to weigh down mighty corporations.
Everyone, including me, had guessed that Lee Jeong-ryong’s wealth would be enormous in this situation, but no one would have known that there were so many hidden assets besides those revealed.
‘A word that flashed through my mind at the moment of safekeeping.
right. This is their own personal safe made by Lee Jeong-ryong and handed down to Seok Go-jun.
But what we must not forget is that this space is both a safe and a prison where enormous wealth is hidden.
‘A prison to hide a person’s existence from the world.’ However, the guard, who was alone, had already died, and now the new owner of this space next to me was walking towards the last door.
that buck that buck
At the end of the long corridor, I can feel the trembling that cannot be hidden from Team Leader Choi’s steps as he advances towards the firmly closed door.
“after.”
Instead of taking deep breaths to calm his agitation, I stepped forward without hesitation.
As he drew his sword down unhesitatingly toward the door, where he could feel the flow of mana, a spark flashed through the air.
Awesome! cooong!
Various magics are dispelled and the door made of alloy splits on both sides.
At the same time, the darkness and cold air that crouched beyond it attacked us.
Shaaaaaaah.
An unknown chill ran through his body.
I, who had already entered the state of invulnerability to the cold, and even the Skeleton King, a being whose source was death and cold, shuddered.
But one person was an exception.
In the dark space, the footsteps resonated exceptionally loudly.
There was no more trembling or hesitation to be found in Team Leader Choi’s back as he walked silently.
twenty years.
The child became a boy, and the boy became a young man.
A child who lost his parents early broke up with his maternal grandfather without knowing why, and finally returned to his place and stood here.
To face one’s only flesh and blood, to ascertain the truth.
“I missed you, and I always miss you.” that buck
The steps that had been moving forward ceaselessly came to a sudden stop at some point.
Before he knew it, he missed a large oval-shaped mechanical capsule with numerous wires connected to it.
The machine, which seemed to appear in a science fiction movie, looked like a device prepared for hibernation, and was like a coffin prepared for a living person.
Whoops In the cool air, team leader Choi’s breath misted the dust-covered glass.
Long trembling fingers brushed the glass.
“I wanted to see you.” With the dust being wiped away, a person’s face is finally revealed. Contrary to the pictures floating around the internet, his face looks old and exhausted.
However, as if to prove that they are related to each other, Team Leader Choi continued to speak in a low voice to the old man who looked just like him.
“My mother’s father.”
* * * Manager Choi kept everything top secret.
At least for now, no one except me and the Skeleton King knew this secret, and I actively agreed to his wishes.
Of course, there were minor glitches.
“It’s not difficult to keep a secret. But there are two conditions.”
The Skeleton King recited his conditions with a determined expression like an independence fighter.
“first. to take you to the club. second. Give me the s-class magic stone inside.”
Team Manager Choi readily accepted the first proposal, but the second proposal was different.
And I presented a clear alternative to him who was deeply troubled.
“There are better ways.”
“What is it?”
“How many S-class magic stones do you have right now?”
“There are still five left.”
“Then, let’s kill that bastard and make six of them. We can keep the secret and secure additional S-class magic stones.”
The Skeleton King, who requested a proposal with the feelings of a UU independence fighter, became pro-Japanese and cooperated, and found a dramatic agreement by bringing them to the club.
However, one of the most important things, regarding Cheon Tae-min’s future, he had no choice but to borrow someone’s help.
“We can’t keep my maternal grandfather here. We have to move him somewhere else.” “The problem is that you have to move unnoticed… … .” That was something I couldn’t do with a pocket with space expansion magic or even my inventory.
The immortal hero, Cheon Tae-min, was definitely a living person.
In the end, after much thought, there was only one answer.
“We need to move it with space movement magic.”
What mattered was the person.
most trustworthy person. Even if he knew this, he wouldn’t reveal it.
And Cheon Tae-min, who is unconscious, and a person who is kind to us and can continue to help… … .
“I can only think of one person.”
“I probably think the same as Mr. Jin Tae-kyung.”
For that reason, I called one person.
“Can you come to Korea for a minute?”
– Hey, Jean. I’m busy too. The mutation gate now… … .
“Chief Choi wants to see you. I can kiss you.”
