Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 110
“Ahem ahem.”
Thomas Andre sat across from Suho with a puzzled expression.
And sitting next to them were his secretary Laura and CEO Yoo Jin-ho.
“I’m sorry. This is absolutely Thomas Lee’s fault. Please show mercy.”
Thomas ignored them, and Laura apologized to Suho and Yoo Jinho on their behalf.
In particular, he had no choice but to ask for everything from Eugene Ho, the major shareholder of the Scavenger Guild.
“Thomas, stop being a jerk and start by apologizing.”
“Adventure. No, but we’re scavengers after all, and for a few bucks… … .”
“The moment our stocks are cut in half because of CEO Yoo Jin-ho, I think your value will be cut in half as well.”
“Ah, I may have been a bit too much, Representative Yoo.”
It was Thomas Andre who immediately sat up awkwardly at Laura’s words.
Still, he didn’t forget to add a word, even though he was embarrassed.
“Hehehe. This is all because I’m not good at Korean, so let’s just laugh it off.”
“… … Your pronunciation is really good for something like that. I would believe you even if you said you were Korean.”
“It’s because I’m such a huge fan of Korean dramas. I’ve been watching a lot of revenge dramas lately, so my Korean is a bit harsh.”
“Thomas. Just apologize, just apologize.”
Laura sighed and shook her head at Thomas’s actions, which he tried to pass off as a joke.
However, the reason why she couldn’t help but sneak a peek at Yoo Jin-ho’s expression was because even though it was her first time coming to Korea, Laura knew all too well the value of the brand called ‘Ajin Soft’.
‘Ajin Soft. A global company leading virtual reality games worldwide.’
Although the hunter world and the gaming world are completely separate businesses, from a corporate perspective, they are bound to be intertwined in some way or another between large companies.
In particular, the fact that Ajin Soft was preparing a game featuring hunters called ‘Only I Level Up’ was a huge piece of high-level information that was secretly spread among business people.
Although information has been gradually released to the public recently, not many people actually knew that Ajin Soft had started planning the project from the moment the cataclysm occurred.
And as if to prove that fact, CEO Yoo Jin-ho had been steadily purchasing stocks of major guilds around the world since then.
It’s as if they had predicted in advance that the stock prices of hunter guilds would skyrocket the moment a virtual reality game featuring real hunters was released.
‘CEO Yoo Jin-ho is truly a scary person. He created the market himself and bought all the stocks related to it before the market was created. That’s not something just anyone can do.’
Unlike the reckless Thomas Andre who only had power, Laura was the one who knew the true nature of CEO Yoo Jin-ho better than anyone else.
That’s why I had no choice but to do my best in dealing with him.
Anyway, thanks to that, the situation was resolved amicably and Yoo Jin-ho let out a sigh of relief.
“Huh. Okay, I understand. But why on earth did Mr. Thomas come to see us?”
“Ahem. I’ll explain that myself.”
As the mood seemed to be getting better, Thomas looked at Suho with a grin.
“Seongsuho, we need your help.”
“No, suddenly?”
Suho looked at him with a truly bewildered expression.
A person who needs help suddenly comes to you and attacks you as if he’s going to kill you?
‘Is your brain full of muscles? Or are you going crazy?’
But there was something about this that made Soo-ho feel bad about getting angry at him.
“Yeah. At first, I was going to drag you along a little, but I never dreamed it would be this difficult. Anyway, I’m sorry. I apologize.”
“… … .”
“Oh, okay. I apologized, so don’t be angry, Inma. I didn’t say anything to you about killing our guild members.”
Suho flinched for a moment at those words and his expression almost became clouded.
But on the outside, I kept a shameless expression on my face and responded to his words.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying at all.”
“What are you talking about? Our Suho has lived in Korea his entire life. How can you claim that a guy who has never been overseas killed a member of the Scavenger Guild?”
[Good job! Keep pushing!]
It was Ber who was cheering for Eugene Ho hard from the shadows.
“Hehehe. I actually find that part quite interesting.”
As if he knew it would turn out like that, Thomas chuckled and leaned back in his chair leisurely.
“Of course there is no evidence. There are no witnesses. Not only the bodies of our missing guild members, but even the pyramid that they entered without permission has disappeared.”
“CEO Yoo Jin-ho, we have nothing to say about this, so you can pretend you didn’t hear it.”
Laura, who was adding comments from the side, pushed up her glasses and said.
“But I heard that the hunters from the Asura Guild who survived the pyramid and returned submitted a strange report. They said that they became friends with a Korean hunter named Seongsuho.”
[I knew this would happen! Your Majesty, I guess I’ll have to rip those guys’ mouths off!]
Berga rose from the shadows in a fit of rage.
Suho calmly talked to the guy while pressing down on him with his foot.
“I don’t know who it is, but it seems like someone with the same name.”
“Of course that could be the case, but I don’t think that’s a good thing. After all, the guild members who went missing there were always troublemakers who caused a lot of problems.”
“Yes. I don’t care where or by whom those idiots got beaten up. Of course, if I were in my prime, I wouldn’t have let those who dared touch my property go.”
Thomas glared and gritted his teeth.
But he didn’t show off his fighting spirit as rashly as before.
Rather, he had a somewhat bitter expression on his face and muttered softly with a sigh in his voice.
“… … There are much more important things to do right now.”
Thomas looked into Suho’s eyes and spoke in a serious tone.
“So, I guess you have to help me out.”
“… … What on earth do you want my help with? I’m just a C-rank hunter.”
At this point, Suho also became curious.
What on earth could an American S-class hunter ask of me in Korea?

“It doesn’t matter if you’re a C-class or an E-class. Norma Sellner, that old lady’s prophecies are never wrong.”
“Norma Sellner? Are you saying that the prophet prophesied about the guardianship?”
The first one to react to those words was Yoo Jin-ho.
As the only one of these four who had memories of his past life, he knew better than anyone how important Norma Sellner’s prophecy was.
“Yes. My grandmother made a prediction about Korea’s Sung Su-ho. She said that only he could help me.”
When he immediately pointed to himself, Suho asked.
“What kind of help are you talking about?”
“I don’t know about that. That’s all Grandma said. But Grandma told me to tell you this.”
“… … ?”
“The Glacier Dungeon. Maybe you can find a clue about your mother there.”
… … !
Suho and Yoo Jinho opened their eyes wide at the same time, suddenly hearing words they could never have imagined.
Even Ber, who was eavesdropping from below, couldn’t help but be shocked.
[Keeeeeeeek! A clue about Haein! Your Majesty! This is a miracle! This is a miracle!]
‘Be quiet for a moment! Let me gather my thoughts.’
Suddenly, Suho’s head felt completely messed up.
Does this make sense?
The first thing a foreign intruder who suddenly showed up in a completely unexpected place started talking about was his mother’s whereabouts, who had gone missing several years ago.
Eugene Ho looked at Suho urgently.
“Soo, Soo-ho! If it’s Norma Sellner’s prophecy, you can believe it! You may not know it, but she is… …!”
[I know that too! My lord once said that the old woman was a prophet who even predicted the war between the Shadow Army and the Monarch! I don’t know what the Glacier Dungeon is, but I have to go there!]
While Berga was busy squatting in the shadows.
Thomas’ secretary, Laura, was also trying to persuade Suho with a serious face.
“I can vouch for Norma Sellner’s prophecy, because I was there to hear it. She didn’t go into detail, but she said that if we helped her, it would definitely help Hunter Seongsuho in some way.”
“… … Let me think about it for now.”
Suho barely opened his mouth, calming his complicated mind for a moment.
Thomas burst into laughter at that answer.
“Yes, yes. I thought about it carefully. Of course I knew you would accept.”
“Thomas, Sung Soo-ho Hunter replied that he would think about it. Please study Korean a little more.”
“That’s what it says.”
Thomas accepted Suho’s answer as he pleased and laughed heartily.
* * *
[Of course you will go, right?]
After Thomas returned to the hotel, Suho came home to find Berga stamping her feet and fretting over him.
[No matter how much Haein-nim receives the protection of the lord, he is still just an ordinary human. Just thinking about where he is and what kind of hardships he is going through at this very moment makes me so worried… … Hehe!]
Ber, who was hanging on Suho’s shoulder, cried and wept bitterly.
Of course he said he would think about it, but in reality, Suho’s answer was already set.
“Of course I will go.”
It was the first clue to his mother’s whereabouts after she had been missing for years.
Even if the prophecy was false, it was right to go and check it out unconditionally.
But the reason he hesitated to answer and wasted time now was because of another matter.
“The Glacier Dungeon. The problem is that there is absolutely no information about what kind of place it is.”
I don’t know where it was, but it was a dungeon that even an S-class hunter would have a hard time entering.
I couldn’t just answer that I would go into a place like that without any information.
‘Even more so if there is a clue to the mother there.’
Looking at Thomas Andre’s temper today, the moment he said yes, there was a very high chance that he would be kidnapped on the spot and taken to the United States.
‘He must be crazy. He came to me for help and then attacked me out of the blue.’
Let’s be careful and careful again.
It wouldn’t have been strange if that old man had come to find me out of the blue tomorrow morning and kidnapped me.
Before that, the most urgent task was to find out information about the Glacier Dungeon as quickly as possible.
The problem, however, was that even Thomas Andre didn’t have much information about the place.
To begin with, the Scavenger Guild itself was not a large guild with good information capabilities.
The reason, ironically, was that next to Guildmaster Thomas was the renowned prophetess, Mrs. Norma Sellner.
With a brilliant prophet right next door, the ability to work hard and gather information gradually deteriorates.
So, after sending Thomas back to the hotel, Suho asked Eugene to gather as much information as possible about the Glacier Dungeon.
And he himself began to track information using Hunternet and other means.
“If you are certain that there is a clue to your mother there, you absolutely cannot make a mistake. You must go there fully prepared… … .”
That was when.
Suho’s phone rang.
“Anyway, my phone never gets a break.”
Perhaps, since Suho became a hunter, the thing that has been suffering more than anyone else is his cell phone.
“I don’t know that number.”
Suho looked puzzled as he saw the number on the screen.
For a moment I suspected it was spam, but I pressed the call button anyway because it could have been from Thomas or Laura.
Then, the voice suddenly heard from beyond was that of a completely different person.
-Seongsuho Hunter! I’m here! I’m Rio Sing!
“… …Who was it?”
Suho covered the phone with his hand and looked at Ber.
