Ramyu (3)
It may be a bit redundant to mention it again now.
Ramyu was a very special being.
He possesses abilities that no one else has, but that does not mean that he was awakened under the influence of the system.
Also, it was not something that was acquired through training in mana, ki, chakra, etc.
‘In the first place, it’s like that because you’re sitting here on Earth without being an Earthling.’
In fact, if you were to talk about its specialness, there would be no end to it.
In short, an irregular born from the whim of some god.
Her very existence was a bundle of variables, no different from a joker card that could shake up the existing board.
“An invitation…?”
“Yeah. An invitation.”
That’s why.
It occurred to me that I should use that 『Invitation』 on Ramyu.
‘Actually, I was not sure how to use this, so I just left it alone until now···.’
Most of those he had a connection with on Earth were returnees who had already awakened and returned from another world.
It was only natural that we would end up forming a force to oppose the Heavenly Society from the very beginning of Earth’s activities.
The only exceptions would be his low-level subordinates who became vampires on Earth and then joined the Blood Alliance, as well as his only friend, Kang Tae-san.
In any case, it was true that I was a little reluctant to make it into an Awakened One.
I wondered how great his abilities would be if he returned like that.
‘One invitation costs one million points… and the return ticket costs two million, just in case. Even if I have a lot of karma, it’s a bit much to spend it like that…’
Of course, in the case of my friend Kang Tae-san, it was entirely for safety.
Even though he has no special abilities, he is in a position where he cannot help but get involved in all kinds of incidents as an agent of the Ability Management Bureau.
But if you awaken special abilities there, isn’t it obvious what will happen?
‘The problem is what to say to the guy and hand him the invitation and return ticket.’
For various reasons, I had never used the 『Invitation』 before, but this time I finally found a proper use for it.
“If you use this method, you’ll be able to become stronger much faster than you are now. The unique skills you’ll be granted, and the growth adjustments will help a lot.”
“Um, you said that if you become an Awakened Person, you’ll be sent to a random other world after 24 hours? …like my hometown, Kosiyasu.”
“Yes. Of course, you won’t be sent to that place that has already become a closed dimension.”
Given her abilities, it wouldn’t matter much which world she was sent to.
Whenever I felt like something was wrong, I could just cross the dimension and return to Earth.
“···Then am I the only one going there?”
Ramyu, sitting on the living room sofa, lowered her head slightly and opened her mouth.
Although she tried hard to pretend it wasn’t a big deal, Hoon, who had been with her all this time and had even been connected to her through “telepathy” once, could easily figure out her true feelings.
Even though she had decided to cooperate with everything she was told in order to become stronger, she was still young and couldn’t help but hesitate since she had to go into a world where she had no information.
He smiled at her and put one hand into her arms.
“No way. I have already thought of a way.”
What he took out immediately was a piece of paper.
Even at first glance, there was an ominous aura emanating from it.
“···What is this?”
“With this, I will be able to quickly find out where you went.”
It was a contract that Hesperon had created by weaving together his own ability, “Chain of Oath,” and curses.
Originally, he could only make a pact with someone he met in person, but the numerous incidents that occurred over the years have become opportunities for him to grow further.
Thanks to this, you can now use your abilities through this medium without having to meet them directly.
‘Well, that’s possible because the person exercising that authority is no different from the person concerned.’
In any case, the utility of this ability was limitless.
He shrugged his shoulders slightly and continued.
“Don’t worry too much. We are already a community of shared destiny. I have no intention of pushing you into a dangerous place alone and leaving you to rest comfortably alone.”
“yes.”
This was a big experiment for him too.
At the same time, it was an opportunity to reassess the value of strategically utilizing Ramyu’s abilities.
Was it because Hoon’s sincere persuasion shone through, or was it because he still didn’t know much about the world?
Ramyu obediently signed the suspicious contract.
As he instructed, he dripped every drop of blood from the small wound on his fingertip.
“···ah!”
She let out a single exclamation of admiration at the strange connection that followed, and looked around at her body as if in amazement.
Hoon also reacted to that feeling.
‘Okay, as expected. So far, so good.’
He looked at Ramyu with meaningful eyes.
As they say, even a bull’s horn can be pulled out in one go, so there was no need to hesitate any longer since we had come this far.
He took out the 『Invitation (1,000,000)』 he had purchased from the VIP Market and immediately applied it to the young girl in front of him.
And right after that.
Hwaaaaak—!
With a flash of light that came out in an instant.
A few lines of phrases appeared before Ramyu’s eyes.
《Dimensional inflection point detected. Connecting to the Akasha system.》
The exact same sentence I heard from Hoon before.
I heard that right after that you get something called a unique skill.
‘This is awakening… What kind of abilities will I gain? Since I’m going to get it, I hope it’s something good.’

Unique Skills are abilities that only one Awakened Person can have, and their growth potential is so great that it overwhelms other common abilities.
Hoon said that no matter how great it was, it wouldn’t be as powerful as the power she had, but it wouldn’t hurt to have one more ability like that.
‘To be honest, what I have now is more than enough···.’
The moment she swallowed her saliva, so nervous.
《An error code occurred.》
A warning message was printed in front of her face.
“to?”
“···What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
“No, right now, in front of my eyes···”
Hoon made a puzzled expression, as if this phrase was only visible to the person involved.
However, no time was given to explain the situation to Ramyu one by one.
《Analyze the cause.》
《Error detected. Check for unauthorized entity access.》
《The existence of code name ■■■ has been detected.》
《Forced deletion of error codes.》
《Correction. The entered command is accepted.》
《Impossible. Follow the procedure. Force removal.》
《I object.》
······
Before she could even open her mouth, a huge amount of messages poured up like a war of words.
It was not long after that that the conclusion was printed.
《Awaken your unique skill.》
《Execution of the Earth Forced Deportation Order.》
A strong headache tore at Ramyu’s mind.
I had heard in advance that it would be quite painful, but it was not a pain that I could overcome no matter how much I prepared for it.
In that distant mind.
The last message window faintly passed by in her slowly closing vision.
《Awakening is complete. Unique skill ······ has been awakened.》
《1 second until the other world transmission.》
And then, beyond that, we end with Hoon’s gaze looking at us with a surprised expression.
Her mind went completely dark.
***
“···what’s this?”
Hoon blinked blankly.
Everything happened so quickly that I had no idea how to react.
“Why is the other world transmission line already activated?”
He looked at the spot where Ramyu had been just a moment ago with a bewildered expression.
There, only the gradually cooling warmth told me that someone had been there just a moment ago.
‘It was as expected that I would faint at the moment of awakening···.’
Didn’t you do that when you first woke up?
No, that was just common sense in this world.
It was no secret that if someone collapsed in a place with people, the Investigation Division of the Ability Management Bureau, which came out with 119, would investigate whether or not they were awake.
‘The problem is the transmission. Normally, it should have appeared 10 minutes before the transmission after a 24-hour grace period, but it swallowed Ramyu and disappeared.’
Hoon frowned.
Looking at the strange phenomenon, there must have been something wrong during the awakening process.
Somehow, right before Ramyu fainted, she seemed flustered and tried to say something…
‘Is it really a problem that I’m not an Earthling?’
That was the only guess I could make right away.
But even if the awakening itself had failed from the beginning, I wouldn’t have expected that something like this would happen.
“Whew, there’s nothing we can do about what’s already happened.”
Still, it was very fortunate that I had insurance just in case.
Hoon opened his eyes narrowly, holding the contract he had left on the side with both hands.
A vague presence was conveyed from the signpost indicating where Ramyu was.
‘Fortunately, there hasn’t been any major trouble yet. Still, I need to go there as soon as possible.’
In fact, this moment, right after she lost consciousness, was the most dangerous moment for her.
Although she had the ability to return on her own once she opened her eyes, she was now defenseless and would be reduced to food for any passing wild animal.
‘One second on Earth is about ten seconds there. There is no more time to delay.’
After Hoon’s “psychic sensitivity”, amplified by “Breakthrough”, spread to a faraway place through the passage connected to the contract.
She began to vividly convey the flow of energy she felt around the place she was being sent to.
As if I was there in person.
“Whew, this is about it···”
It was originally not something that could be easily accomplished.
But now, his body had traveled through a number of dimensions close to ten.
Considering the know-how accumulated over time and the various effects such as “World Invasion,” it wasn’t that impossible.
Paaaa—
And so, the “Summoning of the Otherworldly Transmission Formation” was activated at his feet.
A transmission beam of the same shape that had swallowed Ramyu gave off a soft glow.
And right after that.
The image of him left alone disappeared as if washed away.
***
The strange floating feeling unique to dimension travel passes by.
《Transmission to the Sabathian dimension has been completed.》
A single message box appeared in front of Hoon.
“Huh! What is this again!”
“Teleportation? Is this guy a practitioner too?!”
But there was no time to worry about that right now.
As soon as he appeared, a group of people surrounded him and began to act ominously.
“Huh, that’s ridiculous. Not one, but two of you crawled in here in a row?”
“I think our information got leaked somewhere. Let’s catch that guy and interrogate him first.”
“Even so, if you come in so blatantly, don’t you think you’re making fun of us?”
Axes, greatswords, sickles, hooks, etc.
A dozen men and women, all armed with vicious equipment, were slowly approaching, growling.
No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t an atmosphere where friendly relations could be fostered through exchanges.
‘Oh, no. It looks like I’ve come to a place I shouldn’t just come into.’
They all seemed to be of a fairly high standard and did not seem like simple thugs or bandits.
I wonder if they are part of some secret organization.
Hoon let out a small sigh and quickly looked around.
This must be the coordinates where Ramyu came from, but no matter how hard I looked, I couldn’t see where he was.
‘From what I’ve heard from them, they’ve definitely come over here. They seem to be being held somewhere for interrogation.’
He moved as fast as he could to get here after that, but the time difference between worlds was beyond his control.
Even if it only took 3 minutes on Earth, in reality it could be more than 30 minutes in this world.
Who would have thought that, of all places, this would be the first transfer destination?
There is a limit to bad luck…
‘No, is it really a coincidence?’
Hoon, who had been thinking, frowned.
A malicious transmission that occurred at the moment when someone who had just awakened passed out.
I have never heard or seen anything like this before.
Come to think of it, this location choice might have been intentional.
‘···No, I’ll think about it later. For now, I need to join up with Ramyu first. First, I need to track down the remaining ideological faction at this site···.’
At that moment, he was in the midst of deciding on his next course of action.
“Ha, this guy was thinking of something else.”
“What? I thought you were frozen from fear, but that wasn’t it?”
The crowd surrounding them twitched their lips in disbelief.
From their perspective, it was inevitable.
How can you be thinking of something else when there are over ten people wielding vicious weapons and spewing murderous intent?
What else could it be but ignoring them?
However, the reason they were hesitant to take action was because they were worried that their opponent might be a master hiding a trick.
No matter how I looked at it, that composure seemed like nothing more than the arrogance of the strong.
But soon those worries were shattered by the voice of one of them.
“···Wait a minute, that’s a bluff! That guy can’t even open the depths, let alone be a practitioner! He’s never even properly handled a chakra!”
“What? Is that true? Then the teleportation just now was···.”
“You must have gotten help from some outsider! Damn it, how dare you fool us with such a ridiculous bluff!”
The air around them began to boil as a man shouted while making a circle with his index finger and thumb and observing the training through the gap.
Even though I didn’t do anything, they didn’t seem to think so and were quick to express their burning anger.
“Kill him!”
“No, you can’t kill him! You have to interrogate him and get information from him! How did he know about this place!”
“Ha! The first one to catch it is the owner!”
From all directions, unmanned soldiers with a frightening aura rushed in.
And at the same time.
‘Found it.’
Hoon’s eyes sparkled as he found the place where he could feel Ramyu’s presence.
I couldn’t do anything recklessly just in case, but now that I’d found my target, I didn’t need to leave them alone any longer.
‘Range setting complete.’
Wow—
The mental wave that started from Hoon spread in all directions.
A being below a certain level is harboring a terrible contamination that cannot even dare to endure.
