Choi Pil-young is dead, and the Choi Pil-young in the video was fake.
A fake created by combining my special ability, ‘Rat Thief’, and the ‘Clone Technique’ stolen from Choi Pil-young.
Before I was taken to the Fate Protection Agency, I took advantage of the opportunity to create a clone of myself.
And he used ‘Thieving Rat’ to borrow Choi Pil-young’s appearance.
At best, he could fake his voice, but I could steal his entire appearance.
Since the video was uploaded to Choi Pil-young’s cell phone and then destroyed, it will be difficult for the protection agency to track it.
“I don’t know why, but I’m so glad! Master’s innocence has been proven!”
Yoon Bom said with a bright smile.
It’s not like he was exactly innocent, though.
Meanwhile, a notification window popped up before my eyes.
[The name of the Hunter ‘Seogangrim’ spreads far and wide! The gods begin to take notice of you.]
[The name of the Hunter ‘Seogangrim’ spreads far and wide! Humans begin to take notice of you.]
It seemed like people were still talking about my story.
Along with the notification window saying that the recognition was increasing, another notification window was also popping up.
[You are granted a new life and sense the falsification of fate]
[Seogangrim’s Fate rank rises to Yongsam-pum (Dragon Third Rank)!]
As the demi-myth begins, the fate level also goes up by one level.
Now, among people, even if you were only a Yong-Gup, you would be looked upon with envy and jealousy.
Going from insect level to dragon level gave me a strange feeling.
Thanks to this, the speed at which your abilities increase has now started to increase.
If he was a third-rank official, he would still be struggling.
Now you can build up your public service and increase your abilities with some peace of mind.
The problem is elsewhere.
Now we had to focus more on building awareness.
That’s because you need to increase your profile to be able to use additional features.
[Due to insufficient awareness, the use of the unpaid communication system is not possible.]
[Due to insufficient awareness, the new system cannot be used.]
Although it has reached the stage of deification due to its popularity, it is still inadequate in many ways.
There were still many features that couldn’t be used, and the demigod wasn’t even able to be used properly.
Still, it was fortunate that the notoriety spread faster than expected.
“Brother, are you okay? The treatment isn’t working well… … . It would be best for you to go back and rest.”
I nodded at John’s words.
Before leaving, I glanced back at the Fate Protection Agency building.
I remembered what Team Leader Gongju had said in the interrogation room.
[Mr. Seo Kang-rim. If you really committed a crime… … . I may help you depending on the conditions.]
Team Leader Princess clearly said so.
At first glance, it seemed like he was trying to reassure me and get me to confess, but that was probably not his intention.
Even if there was no confession, the truth could have been revealed by using the ‘Mouth of Truth’.
What were the conditions that Team Leader Princess mentioned?
Since there was someone who had been trying to recruit me for a long time, it was probably that person.
Could it be that he was trying to recruit me in exchange for some forgiveness or burying of my sins?
If that’s true, it’s a pretty disturbing story.
In exchange for cooperating with the Protectorate, they forgive my crimes.
I never thought the Fate Protectorate was perfect, but something was off about it.
I looked back at the building of the Fate Protection Agency for a moment.
The towering building looked like a giant tower.
16. Encounter
When someone becomes famous, they tend to gain fans who follow them.
Even before the return, we could often see stories of hunters and gods who boasted numerous fans.
Before her return, Shin Soo Ah also had many people who followed and admired her.
People spoke of her strength, her beauty, her goodness.
She was the kind of person who was bound to be liked by people.
The awakened ones wanted to enter the secret room, and the unawakened ones cheered for Shin Soo Ah like a celebrity.
It was vivid to see a large number of fans gathered and camped out in front of the Bihomun building.
… … Actually, such a situation is unfolding before my eyes.
“Seo Kang-rim, show me your face just once!”
“Seogangrim, you are the role model for hunters!”
“Kangrim-ah, I never believed Choi Pil-young’s video!”
I was standing at the window of the building and looking outside.
There were quite a few people gathered around the building, cheering.
I also saw some fancy placards, but my name written on them looked quite unfamiliar.
After conquering the Great Demonic Realm consecutively, my popularity rose rapidly.
Of course, there were other incidents that were mentioned more than the Daema Gyeong.
The Choi Pil-young manipulated video was still being constantly discussed, and I, as a victim, was also at the center of the story.
The photo taken with Shin Soo-ah also caught people’s attention.
It was a picture of me escaping from the Great Demonic Cultivation Hall in Shin Soo Ah’s arms like a princess.
Because of that, gossip magazines were reporting that our relationship was that of a couple.

It’s not bad because the recognition is high, but…
“Wow, there are so many people. I can’t go outside.”
Jang Tae-heon, who was standing next to me, looked surprised at the crowd outside.
Even I would be surprised.
In my previous life, I only heard the sound of baby bugs, but now things like this are happening.
“I see that you’ve been receiving a lot of packages with your name on them. Aren’t there a lot of people encouraging you to join the sect?”
“huh.”
My phone was ringing like crazy right now.
It was a love call from acquaintances, relatives, and even people from other sects with whom I had not been in contact for a while.
Besides that, the gods were sending me messages, but I was ignoring them all.
“By the way, I’ve done the Daema-gyeong strategy several times, but the response this time is especially hot? Is this the first time fans have come like this?”
As Jang Tae-heon said, this was the first time that fans showed up in person like this.
The reason people showed me such kindness was not because of the Daema-gyeong strategy or Choi Pil-yeong.
It was because of Dokgo Jun.
“Seo Kang-rim, what are you looking at? Wow, there are a lot of people here. This is no joke.”
Before I knew it, Dokgo Jun came over to me, looked at the scenery outside, and whistled.
I glanced at him and said.
“What’s the deadline?”
“I came out to rest after finishing everything. By the way, Seo Kang-rim’s fans have increased. I’m proud.”
The person who contributed most to forming a favorable public opinion about me was none other than Dokgo Jun.
He was dressing me up and packaging me up in a fancy way in a novel.
People loved ‘Seo Kang-rim’ in the novel, and its aftereffects were even influencing me in reality.
“I think it’s thanks to Choi Pil-young that the number of views has increased a lot this time. There were a lot of people who were angry with you for suffering because of Choi Pil-young.”
The novel was so well-adapted that the dead Choi Pil-yeong would vomit out the flagship if he saw it.
Choi Pil-young was a piece of trash with no bottom or end, and I was the punisher who punished him.
Of course, he didn’t die in the novel.
“… … By the way, brother.”
At that moment, Jang Tae-heon opened his mouth.
He was looking at Dokgo Jun with a bit of disbelief.
“Why is this kid here?”
Jang Tae-heon looked bewildered by Dokgo Jun’s sudden appearance.
By the way, I was so busy that I couldn’t tell you that Dokgo Jun was living in this building.
It’s been a while since I’ve been out and about, so this must be my first time seeing it.
Dokgo Jun said with a smile.
“Seo Kang-rim kidnapped and imprisoned me.”
It was a statement that could be misunderstood by anyone who heard it.
It’s true that he was confined.
I corrected his remarks.
“It’s just a relationship of employment in the form of a move-in.”
“Well, that’s what they say. Anyway, I ended up staying in this building too.”
Even at those words, Jang Tae-heon had an expression on his face as if he had bitten a bug.
He spoke to me.
“Brother, are you okay? You brought this guy with you… … You saw what he did at the training facility.”
The hostility shown by Jang Tae-heon was clearly understandable.
Considering the eccentricities and evil deeds Dokgo Jun had shown so far, it was actually strange that he was happy about it.
Jang Tae-heon clenched his fist.
“Dokgo Jun, what on earth did you say to hyung? You must have tricked my gentle and weak-hearted hyung into coming here… …!”
First of all, I did imprison Dokgo Jun… … .
Without even being able to deny it, Jang Tae-heon glared at Dokgo Jun and said.
“You are clearly a man who would betray your brother. Someone like you should not be here.”
“How could you betray such an interesting protagonist like Seo Kang-rim?”
“You keep talking about that damn protagonist… …! Didn’t you say that you’ve ever switched protagonists to someone else at an educational institution?”
“Wow, that’s my dark past. Who said that? It won’t happen again.”
Dokgo Jun is likely to turn his back on me if I become weak or if I don’t do my job well.
Up until now, he has been actively cooperating with me.
Dokgo Jun looked at Jang Tae-heon and smiled.
“And I’m here because I’m helpful to Seo Kang-rim. At least I’m more helpful to Seo Kang-rim than a supporting character like you.”
Dokgo Jun was smiling, but there was contempt in his eyes.
Anyone who looks at it sees Jang Tae-heon as inferior.
Jang Tae-heon must have felt the gaze as well, as he distorted his face in a threatening manner and spoke.
“You’re saying you’re more helpful to your brother than me? You’re talking nonsense even though you can’t beat me.”
“Ahaha, you?”
“Let’s have a go.”
Is this how it ends up?
It wasn’t surprising, since I didn’t expect the two to get along.
Personality-wise, and even if you just look at the fortune telling, the compatibility is not good.
Dokgo Jun said, looking slightly troubled by Jang Tae-heon’s provocation.
“I don’t have time to waste on a supporting character like you… … What if I win?”
“I will follow your orders.”
“Not bad. Seo Kang-rim, are you okay? Even if the two of us fight.”
I nodded at those words.
Even if you try to stop them, they’ll just fight again.
Dokgo Jun also left soon after, leaving Jang Tae-heon, who was growling, in the lead.
If the two of them fight… … there’s a high probability that Jang Tae-heon will lose.
But this conflict will be helpful to Jang Tae-heon.
Jang Tae-heon has a strong fighting spirit, so he would be able to grow faster if he had someone like Dokgo Jun to stimulate him.
There will be some hardships along the way.
-Wow
Then my phone started ringing again.
I could have turned it off, but I left it on because I have a guest coming today.
I checked and it turned out that it was the message she sent.
