Arena, Alien hunting

When I woke up, I was standing in an empty world.

No grass, no trees, no color. Heaven and earth are all new. The endless horizon is full of spaces.

As if the whole world had turned white and bleached…….

“You're dreaming, aren't you? ”

Voice of a baby angel.

He smiled and said something that made him feel bad.

“If you're confused about dreams or reality, you can stick your head in the ground to find out. ”

You're talking about the first day you were called here.

I look like I'm holding up a stop instead. The baby angel laughed quietly.

Just then, Cha Ji-hye appeared.

Together we summoned the Lithograph to confirm the test.

Name: Hyunho Kim

Class: 45

Karma: +150

Mission: Kill Kazad Pun Aman.

Time limit:???

“What's with the time limit? ”

I asked.

The baby angel said, panting.

“Shall I teach you specifically about the investigator Kim Hyun-ho? ”

“Teach me. ”

The baby angel pointed at me with a little finger like a sparrow.

“Investigator Kim Hyun-ho, until you die. ”

“What?"

“Unlimited time means that there will be testers who want to live in the arena for the rest of their lives, but once you've set a time limit, Kazad may hold on to that information and hide until the time limit has passed. ”

“So until I die? ”

“Yes, I told you. Kim Hyun-ho, the examiner, is our last reference point. ”

“Yes, but…. ”

“For the record, this is a secret that no investigator knows. If that turns out to be true, the corrupt investigators or Kazad are concerned about targeting the investigator Kim Hyun-ho. ”

That's why it's marked with a question mark.

Suddenly I asked.

“What if I don't complete the test and try to live in the Arena for the rest of my life? ”

“Go ahead, if you can. ”

It was a baby angel talking with a twisted smile.

Of course not.

I have to marry Cha Ji-hye tomorrow. I made a reservation at a very expensive and luxurious hotel ceremony. I've rehearsed my rehearsals.

Finish the exam and get married.

“Just open the door. ”

“Yes, yes. ”

The baby angel flicks his fingers. The door of the test appeared before our eyes. We opened the door and went inside.

At that moment, you hear the voice of a baby angel behind you.

“Investigator Kim Hyun-ho. ”

“Why, man? ”

“You know how much I loved it? ”

“Get lost.”

The laughter of the baby angel resounds loudly.

That bastard. But I stopped laughing.

Bright light pours through the open door. We held hands and marched towards the light.

* * *

As soon as you get to the arena, you pull the transmitter out of the processing time and talk to Odin.

“Hello?"

There you are. The test was as expected.

“Yes, kill Kazad Pun Aman. ”

But the timeout was marked with a question mark, and so were you?

“Yes.”

I couldn't tell Odin that I was going to die. The fewer people I kept, the better.

Come this way for now. Let's give the other testers a suit and a transponder. Let's put out a reconnaissance satellite.

“Yes, I'll see you tomorrow. ”

That day, I relaxed and rested with Cha Ji-hye.

And the next day, I left the work of the territory to the chief executive officer Edward and departed for Earl Wolpenburg.

Me, Cha Ji-hye, as well as Dana, who was staying in our territory.

He flew relentlessly on an eagle and arrived at the Earl of Wolpenburg's mansion in just one day.

“Welcome. ”

“I'll get you an artificial muscle suit and a wire first. ”

“Go ahead. I'll keep it in my safe. ”

I pulled out a bunch of man-made muscle suits and transmitters.

It was to be paid to the investigators of the top rank who would be joining us in the operation.

“Now let's bring up the reconnaissance satellite. ”

“Sure."

Together, we have moved towards the point where we will launch a reconnaissance satellite.

The scout satellite projectiles were magical, so we were built to fly easily.

I pulled the reconnaissance satellite out of the processing time and set it at the correct point.

I also took out a laptop connected to the reconnaissance satellite and controlling it.

Odin and Dana discuss with each other and prepare to launch a reconnaissance satellite. They seemed to have received prior training from researchers while staying in the Nordic Trials.

“Now we can launch it. ”

Dana said, powering up the reconnaissance satellite by pressing the power button.

“Shouldn't we back off? ”

“You don't have to. The projectile operates with flying magic, so there is no repulsive force around it. ”

After adjusting the launch angle with her laptop, Dana typed something on her laptop keyboard and then pressed Enter. And then...

Booooo!

A massive reconnaissance satellite slowly rises into the air.

The patrol satellite, which was slowly rising in the air, rose slowly.

Paaaahhhh!

Suddenly, it disappears from our sight with enormous acceleration.

“Are you done now? ”

“Yes, all you need to do is make sure it works. ”

Dana checks the reconnaissance satellite for maneuvers while manipulating her laptop.

3D maps were showing real-time trajectories of reconnaissance satellites.

The reconnaissance satellite, which was marked by a red dot, eventually turned to a green dot.

Dana smiles and says.

“You're on course. Success.”

All right!

I said to Dana with my fist burning with joy.

“Let's test for proper reconnaissance. ”

“Very well. Let's scout the Aman Empire's palace for now." ”

Dana adjusted the angle of the surveillance satellite's high-performance camera with her laptop.

Surprisingly, the view of the Arman Imperial Palace overlooking the air caught my attention.

It was a pretty clear picture.

“Wow!"

I was amazed.

Dana enlarges the palace's dome.

“I broke through this dome and ran away. Can you see it's being repaired? ”

Some of the workers were actually working on the perforated part of the dome.

“Can I take a look at the Armed Forces? ”

“Eye contact takes too long and you need to know roughly where you are stationed. ”

“They're probably on the border by now. ”

“Please wait a moment. ”

Dana is busy manipulating her laptop.

After a long time of manipulation, a large swarm of images finally appeared on the screen.

It was a faction of the Armed Forces.

“There you go!”

Odin is greatly pleased.

He had personally led the war, and he knew very well how much this spy from the reconnaissance satellite had to do.

“That's enough. War is a victory for us. ”

“Then it's only a matter of carrying out Kim Hyun-ho's proposed operation. ”

“Yes. Mr. Ritrin, we need to check the progress of the Aman Empire, as well as Kazad Pun Aman's movements." We have eyes on the Arende Kingdom, as well as on our investigators with the transmission. Together, we can achieve a perfect victory before information. ”

“I understand.”

It started well.

Once the biggest problem, the reconnaissance satellite went according to plan.

Now there was only one problem.

‘Will Kazad Pun Aman appear directly in the Brown Mountains as we expected? ’

If it did not appear and it was stuck in the underground palace, the test would be much more difficult than expected.

Then we must fight for a long time until the fall of the Armed Forces in the war.

We stayed in Earl Wolpenburg for a while.

Dana saw the trends of her enemies checking in with a patrol satellite every day, and waited for the investigators to join her.

Thirty-three (33) investigators participating in the assassination of Kazad Pun Aman.

Most of them were accredited within the rankings of Karma Total World Ranking of 50.

Only people I knew had Odin, Marie Johanna, Dana Ritrin, and Cha Ji-hye.

In Charge's case, the ranking was low because she did not disclose the total amount of Karma, but she was qualified to take part in this operation as an Error Control Advanced Level 1.

Anyway, there were five of us in Earl Wolfenburg.

About a week later, a group of test participants arrived one by one.

The first to arrive was Japanese investigator Nakai Schuhei.

He was a man in his mid-30s with a small height of 170cm and a small size but a quiet and discreet impression.

“Welcome. ”

“Hello again. Please take good care of it."

We greeted and talked and got to know each other.

He is said to have mastered error control to advanced level 2.

Though it did not differ much from Cha Ji-hye, his fighting style was essentially an amber skill.

It was a key know-how that made him the best assassin, with the ability to hide from the shadows as his footsteps fade away when he was running at more than a certain speed.

“For now, get a suit and a comm. You'll have to get used to the suit. ”

Odin gave Shuhei two items from the vault.

Shoei was amazed at the performance of the man-made musclesuit, but immediately began his training at the training ground inside the mansion.

Before becoming an investigator, he was a famous swordsman in his life.

Occasionally, he spent time fighting Odin, Cha Ji-hye, etc.

Moreover, as the investigators appeared one by one, Earl Wolpenburg was filled with important guests of Odin.

Odin's private training ground is filled with researchers training to adapt to man-made muscle suits.

The underground palace.

A golden throne prepared for a ruler who will return from defeating death.

The rightful owner sat on a throne that had no place to glisten in golden splendor.

Sultan Saroch, ruler of the current Arman Empire, also had to stand to the right of him who sat on the golden throne.

The golden throne master, Kazad Pun Aman, looks arrogantly at the black-haired man lying at his feet.

“You said Richang. ”

“Yes, Your Majesty! ”

There was tension in Rychang's voice.

Even Lichang, who was relaxed when dealing with Sultan Sarok, could not maintain his unique audacity in front of Kazad.

“This is your last test? ”

“Yes, the content of the test was to kill the king, and the time limit was unusually marked with a question mark. ”

“Question mark. Is there no limit? ”

“No. That would be labeled as unlimited. It wouldn't have appeared vaguely with a question mark. ”

“I see you have a secret. Well, it doesn't matter. ”

Kazad giggles.

“Soon I will be the monarch of thought who rules both worlds! ”

So the film of the final test was raised.
