◈ Episode 54 Guide (1)
The interior of the Ahala Grand Palace had the atmosphere of a very old-fashioned kingdom, so much so that no one would think of it as a dungeon or labyrinth.
If I were to go into a little more detail, would I say that it is a royal palace that looks like something out of a fantasy world?
‘Five hours.’
Kim Joo-hyuk simply recalled what he heard from Seol-ryeon before coming here.
The time you can stay in Ahala Grand Palace is five hours.
Although there are not many of them inside the Grand Palace, there are monsters called ‘Living Armor’ roaming around.
‘Well, it’s a time limit. I said I could come in tomorrow if I don’t finish my business today.’
Living Armor, who was wandering around inside the palace, was also not likely to be a match for Kim Joo-hyuk, so he turned his gaze to look at the notification window floating in front of him.
[Witness the truth.]
[Valhalla Constellation Room, 3rd basement floor, fifth room on the right] [Conditions met]
[Madegaia Rona’s House in the Snowy Forest of Valhalla] [Caution※ Conditions can only be satisfied if you have a village sword]
[Conditions met]
[Take the beads from Madegaia Rona’s house.]

[Confront your lost memories through sleep.]
[Conditions met]
[Alifdri Johnny’s secret room in the Ahala Palace]
Now there is only one notification window left.
[Now this is the last time.]
Kim Joo-hyuk says Huh when he hears Barce’s voice. He opened his mouth with an expression that said,
“Are you awake?”
[Of course you were awake?]
“But why didn’t you tell me until now?”
Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head and asked because he hadn’t heard him open his mouth a few times recently.
[Well, I have something to think about.]
“What are you thinking about?”
[Okay, didn’t I tell you last time? That I was a tiger. I was thinking about that all the time.]
“So, did you get anything?”
[does not exist. I definitely have memories of when I was a tiger, but strangely, my memories have been interrupted since a certain moment.]
Kim Joo-hyuk briefly clicked his tongue at Barce’s words, but spoke soon.
“Well, it doesn’t matter. You’ll find out anyway if you just find the secret room.”
[It definitely seems like that.]
Upon Barce’s agreement, Kim Joo-hyuk looked at the notification window one more time and immediately ran into the palace as if he had no more thoughts.

On top of the White Lotus Association building.
Two men appeared on the roof of a building covered with all kinds of magic circles and the latest devices for security.
One was a man wearing a black hood and red gauntlets on both hands.
The other was a man wearing a skull mask with long horns that covered his entire face.
The two stood on the roof of the building, ignoring the numerous magic circles placed for security, and looked at the entrance to the ‘Ahala Grand Palace’.
No, to be precise, it is Kim Joo-hyuk and Seol-ryeon standing at the entrance of Ahala Grand Palace.
The two talked about various things and soon after saw Kim Joo-hyuk entering the dungeon.
“Is that guy the next target?”
I started to open my mouth.
“right.”
When the man in the black hood nodded, the man in the mask seemed to think for a moment and then spoke.
“What are you going to do?”
“waiting.”
“… … “Why here?”
“Okay, there’s no need to make a fuss.”
“Is that necessary?”
“there is. First, because the Holy See always instructs us to handle matters as quietly as possible.”
“second is?”
“The Constellation told me to wait a moment.”
“… … what?”
When the man in the skull mask frowned for a moment as if he had heard wrong, the man in the hood spoke again.
“The Constellation told me to wait a moment.”
“… … “The Constellation?”
Skull Mask frowned and thought of their constellation.
The constellation of Ilkyo, ‘Dugwi (鬪鬼)’
He thought of his constellation, which grants power upon signing a contract and then informs him of the next target to be dealt with every few years, and asked the hooded man.
“… … “Is it real?”
I asked this question because I couldn’t believe it.
The man with the hood over his head.
[‘Tugwi’ tells you to wait a moment.]
[‘Dugwi’ tells him to wait for Kim Joo-hyuk to come out and check first.]
[‘Dugwi’ repeatedly asks people to ‘watch’ first when Kim Joo-hyuk appears.]

[‘Dugwi’ repeatedly asks people to ‘watch’ first when Kim Joo-hyuk appears.]
He nodded and spoke as he looked at the message floating over his eyes.
“It’s true. Moreover, he emphasized it three times.”
“… … “Three times?”
Hoodie nods his head silently.
Seeing him like that, Skull Mask had a puzzled expression for a moment.
“!”
[‘Tugwi’ tells you to wait a moment.]
[‘Dugwi’ tells him to wait for Kim Joo-hyuk to come out and check first.]

[‘Dugwi’ repeatedly asks people to ‘watch’ first when Kim Joo-hyuk appears.]
He unconsciously expressed surprise at the numerous messages that appeared before his eyes.
Soon he thought.
‘… … Has the Constellation ever been like this?’
It has been a very long time since he received power from the Constellation.
But even so, the man had never seen his constellation send so many messages.
How many times has it been like this?
‘… … ‘What the heck?’
Therefore, the man, who had not had much interest in the target until now, became curious about Kim Joo-hyuk, who had entered the Ahala Grand Palace a little while ago.
I’m curious as to why the Constellation, who can’t even communicate properly unless he has a target, reacts so violently.
“… … .”
However, because their curiosity did not go away just because they thought about it, they put their curiosity aside for a while.
“I guess I’ll have to wait here anyway.”
So, the members of Ilgyo, which naturally made the association and guilds around the world nervous when it became known that he had appeared in the world, decided to stay in place until Kim Joo-hyuk came out.
####
Two hours later.
Wow!
Kim Joo-hyuk was able to kill the Living Armor that was attacking him with a single blow and at the same time discover a very old-fashioned room.
In a room, a portrait of a man who looks very handsome is drawn on one wall.
In addition, unlike other rooms I had seen before, the red carpet on the floor and the desk and various equipment on it looked very expensive.
“Is this here?”
Kim Joo-hyuk instinctively felt that this was the office of Alifdri Johnny he was looking for, so he looked around.
‘Shit, if I give it a name, will it last longer?’
When you’re frowning and grumbling like that.
[I think this is the right place.]
“huh? “How do you know?”
[It’s written there.]
“excuse me?”
[It’s on the desk.]
At Barce’s words, Kim Joo-hyuk tilted his head and looked at the top of the desk, and soon realized that there was a nameplate on it.
“… … what’s this?”
And the nameplate was written in such strange characters that Kim Joo-hyuk couldn’t recognize it at all.
[The name of Alifdri Johnny is written on the plaque.]
“Do you know how to read this?”
[Hmm, to be honest, this is my first time seeing a text message like this… … For some reason, I could read it just by looking at it.]
“What kind of bullshit is that?”
[To be honest, I don’t know because I’m a bit dazed, but it seems like it was knowledge that subconsciously flowed to me the last time I regained my memories.]
“… … .”
At those words, Kim Joo-hyuk was about to question her further, but he shrugged his shoulders and stopped.
Regardless of whether you know the text or not, what matters in the end is that this is Alifdri Johnny’s office.
‘So now there’s a secret room here?’
Kim Joo-hyuk soon looked at his surroundings with that thought in mind.
“Hmm.”
What you see is an old-fashioned, albeit slightly spacious office.
‘How can I find the secret room here…’ … ?’
Kim Joo-hyuk seemed to be thinking for a moment while looking at that, but after some time had passed.
Sigh.
He raised his fist with a smile.
and.
Kwaaaang!
He started destroying everything around him!
‘Anyway, if there’s a hidden door somewhere, you can find it by just turning it over!’
As a result, Kim Joo-hyuk’s rampage suddenly began.
If someone had seen Kim Joo-hyuk’s rampage, lifting a desk and throwing it, lifting a cabinet and breaking the floor, they might have thought it was extremely ignorant.
“bingo.”
Surprisingly, Kim Joo-hyuk’s actions allowed him to find the secret door to the office very quickly.
“Under the desk…” … .”
Kim Joo-hyuk, who saw a thick iron door visible under the torn carpet, immediately smiled and opened the iron door, and soon began to walk toward the bottom of the dark-looking iron door.
and.
[Witness the truth.]

“!”
Kim Joo-hyuk’s vision turned white as a notification window appeared in front of him.
And the next moment, when my vision returned.
“… … hmm?”
Kim Joo-hyuk realized that he was in a shack.
‘here is… … ?’
Kim Joo-hyuk immediately turns his gaze to the surroundings and checks the surrounding situation.
However, nothing special caught his eye.
All that is visible is almost all rotted wooden walls and a red candle illuminating the interior of this small shack.
and.
“… … ?”
It was a girl sitting at a desk with a red candle on it.
A girl with red hair and a cone-shaped hat on her head that looked like something a witch would wear looked at Kim Joo-hyuk and opened her mouth.
“We finally met.”
“… … you?”
Kim Joo-hyuk asks what the girl said.
The girl motioned for him to sit down on the chair in front of her, and Kim Joo-hyuk immediately sat down on the chair across from her.
Creak-
The chair creaked as soon as Kim Joo-hyuk sat down.
However, the girl continued talking as if she did not really care about it.
“Nice to meet you, my name is ‘Guide’.”
“… … Guide?”
“Yeah, I’m just saying this just in case. Don’t be offended by this. I also want to tell you my real name, but it was already taken, so this is the only name left to introduce me to someone.”
“… … .”
In response to her words, Kim Joo-hyuk recalled the story about the name he heard in his second dream and asked.
“What on earth do you mean, having your name taken away?”
“Well, don’t ask too hastily. Since I’ve come this far anyway, I’d like to give some explanation. But before that, there are two things you need to hear.”
“What do you need to hear?”
At Kim Joo-hyuk’s words, she nodded and opened her mouth.
“You just have to choose which of the two you want to hear first.”
“… … say it.”
At those words, she smiled, extended her index and middle fingers, and opened her mouth.
“The first is a story about ‘name’, and the second is.”
Kim Joo-hyuk heard her voice next.
“The world you live in right now is about a ‘labyrinth.’ Which one would you like to hear first?”
“… … what?”
I couldn’t help but question myself.
