River, his appearance resembled that of Trevor Ron, who I had just seen during the Tron incident.

No, I could tell by the look on his face he was the same person.

Though the fragile appearance in the picture made it hard to predict that the expressionless faces were the same person everywhere.

‘I already got enough power. All that's left now is to become a god. ’

What is God?

Something he's been thinking about for a long time.

He wanted to be that much.

Is God something that surpasses man?

Is God living an eternal life?

Then River was already close to God.

He had already surpassed the human race and lived almost indefinitely.

In other words, River thought there was something different about God.

And the god that River defined...

‘Become a higher level being. ’

A human being living in a four-dimensional world of dots, lines, face space and time.

What if we could perceive, manipulate and move more dimensions here?

What if we could live in five dimensions?

What if it controls six dimensions?

Seven dimensions, eight dimensions, nine dimensions, etc. connected to an unknown world that humans don't recognize?

‘That's what you'd call God in four dimensions. They'll never understand the existence of a higher order. ’

And there was a reason why River wanted to be a god.

‘Just because you can perceive and see space doesn't mean you can control space, and just because you can perceive time and feel the flow of time doesn't mean you can control time. But... I want to dominate space-time properly. So... I want everything back. ’

Regrets left for him.

With that regret, he has been flogging himself for years.

In fact, for now, after almost losing most of my emotions, that regret is faint.

I just focus on exploring the truth and gathering my strength like inertia.

And now he felt a certain amount of strength.

‘It's almost time. ’

And surprisingly, the target that River is preparing for is the alien Kranid invading humanity today.

‘The technique of the Kranids, known as monsters, isolating space-time in occupied territory. Already they are closer to God in handling space-time. ’

Yes, it is.

River wants to acquire the skills to deal with time and space against Cranid.

So to do this...

"The leader of the colony... We have to defeat him. ’

It was already confirmed through the system where he was and what he looked like.

But after seeing him, River was scared for the first time.

Its massive presence in the system.

The size of a planet that is already large enough to jump to.

And what did Nietzsche say?

If you look at the abyss for a long time, the abyss also looks at us.

Surprisingly, when River looked at him through the system, he felt his presence as well.

A giant being.

The unknown.

Being incomprehensible.

His existence had no eyes but gave him a fear he could not even fathom just by ‘gazing’ at River.

After that, River was just gathering his strength.

Right through the system.

There was a cartoon called "Dragon Balls."

The protagonist of the cartoon uses a technique called "Primitive Heat," which is made by borrowing the energy of people from all over the world at the moment of disconnection during the battle with the enemy.

As a person, it was a cartoon setting that the energy was so strong that when hundreds of millions and billions of people gathered together and lent their power to extraterrestrial beings outside the Earth, the energy was stolen from the Abyss and became a very powerful technology.

And the setup of this cartoon was very similar to River's system.

It was because the system was similar in principle to this origin.

It is the manipulation of the system subscribers by taking a tiny fraction of the amount that the user does not even notice.

And this is how Mana flows into the River.

And this is why only the "Mana" figure was strangely not written down in a system where all the information in the world would be recorded and used.

It was only once that Sang-woo showed me her shame when she asked me if she was a bodychain.

At least they took more Mana in the name of a body-change.

‘It's almost time. ’

And already most of the people on the planet Tyburn, and more than 86 percent of the people on Earth, have joined the system.

Manat's sheep are already accumulating with each passing hour from them, and River's strength grows stronger every day.

It was only a matter of time before Kranid's unknown existence and judgment, for which he was apprehended.

‘When the time comes, I will remove that lump and make everything of it mine. ’

And for just that day, River has been quietly gathering in the depths.

* * *

It's a cystemology that roams all over North Korea without knowing it.

Once Sang-woo eliminated the Awakening Portal in the Pyongyang, they set out to find another Awakening Portal.

And they had no choice but to meet Sang-woo, who was organizing all the dungeons throughout North Korea once.

Overpower after impact.

And the destruction of the Awakening Portal.

Several times later, the Awakening Portal was no longer available across North Korea.

“Have you heard from her lately? ”

“What?”

“Someone is traveling with the Awakening Portal terrorism in North Korea. ”

“Oh, yeah? He's a maniac. ”

Even for hunters or officials interested in North Korea, there is growing suspicion that someone is deliberately removing the Awakening Portal.

However, the issue was quickly resolved because all the Awakening Portals had already been removed, and those who were practically living in North Korea had already been wiped out.

And maybe the Awakening Portal is gone.

Several counterterrorism and PK attacks inside North Korea led members of the cystemology to flee and escape the interior of North Korea after pressure on government, associations and military extractions.

Now all that's left is a few overseas hunter teams sneaking across the border and domestic hunters.

‘It's a blur that I caught up with. ’

Sang-woo didn't have to chase them away while looking for foreign hunter teams.

He didn't think they were crazy at all.

And the good thing was, as they competed, the interior of North Korea was being cleaned up naturally and very quickly.

‘It's not my intention to develop North Korea quickly, but hmm. ’

Sang-woo decided to think carefully.

And maybe the hunters went crazy inside North Korea.

Hunters are increasingly starting to emerge from monsters who want to occupy the blind lands inside North Korea that have been cleansed.

“I'm tired of being homeless after a hunt, and it's annoying to go back down to Seoul. Let's just take a temporary break. ”

“Good.”

“Oh, I saw a simple home item the other day. Should I try it on? ”

And our hunters have no time to eat, chew and move.

They began to take their place inside North Korea as "temporary."

There was an item that made it easy.

A ‘Simplified House’ that combines Mana technology, such as bunker items.

It was an item to take something the size of a large suitcase and press the button to open and inflate it and build a house in place.

I just need a finger to build a house. Who wouldn't build a house?

And in the first place, the rich hunters didn't hesitate to buy these items.

‘It's better to build a house and rest here while moving. ’

"I'm asking you to eat everything, but don't you think you should get some rest? ’

Most hunters were like that, so households began to form all over North Korea.

Compared to South Korea's South of the Korean Peninsula, very few homes exist.

But where people are, there's money.

‘Hunters usually eat 10, even if it's only 10, it's close to 100. ’

‘Hunters have a lot of money, so it's very hefty to say. Can't miss it. ’

Koreans who can smell money couldn't miss this spot.

So as hunters' homes settled in North Korea, commercial rights began to rise around them.

CS 24 Convenience Store

The first convenience store that Hunters sought to buy necessities instantly around their accommodation was the one.

Malang Pig Meat Shop

A meat tenderloin that will captivate the delicate hunters and open their big wallets.

24: 00 BBQ Chicken

The Chicken Delivery Shop also opened to deliver warm chicken and beer to hungry Hunters.

Entertainment businesses followed the expedition as if they could not fall into it.

It was gradually forming a commercial right.

Around that time, Sang-woo released some of the identities that had focused on North Korea.

The reason is,

‘I don't bother studying myself. ’

In the meantime, Sang-woo himself traveled to college, focusing his strength on North Korea and sending even the self-immolation to study at the university.

However, it was only a week or two, but Sang-woo was bored.

‘The economy is harder than magic. ’

He was proud to be quite clever now, but not interested.

Sang-woo did not feel very rewarding or enjoyable in studying majors and academic subjects in economics.

‘I was just going to hunt North Korea myself and teach myself to self-immolate, but I wasted my time trying to make time with Wu Hyun. ’

Yes, it is.

Sang-woo recognized his heart.

He liked Yoohyun.

Familiarity because we have seen each other face to face every day since last year.

I used to wear it every day, so I was just a handsome boy, but now my hair is so long that I look like a doll.

Though she grumbles, she always thinks of herself and always protects herself when she asks.

There were reasons why he liked Yoohyun.

But most of all,

‘I can't help but feel better. ’

His mind had left such reasons or conditions and headed towards her on the starboard side.

The pitiful heart of his first green love when he was in middle school.

I want to see it every day and be with you.

I liked Ha-yeon, but I didn't feel that way about her, and I only felt that way about her.

And now it's in a cafe in front of the border.

In front of him was the starboard side.

I'm not a student of the National Guard. I just started commuting here naturally (?) Starboard side stamp.

Sweet Mocha doesn't even like coffee, and she likes it very much. She's poking around cooking Mocha with a straw in her mouth.

Sang-woo smiled at her with a funny and cute look.

Suddenly, she noticed that look and put a straw in her mouth.

“… What? ”

“No, it's just... ”

Sang-woo shrugged.

“But what are you looking at? What's on my face? ”

She's grumbling.

Then, I stole my mouth with my bare hands because I didn't care what was on my face.

Then I wonder what he was thinking.

In the meantime, Sang-woo, who postponed and postponed the timing, suddenly said that.

“It's just cute. ”

“… Huh? ”

I don't know if I heard it wrong, but it's right to tilt my head.

Then, whether she understood it or not, her white face turned crimson to her neck.

“Hey! What are you, some kind of ogre?! ”

“No, it's just... He said he was cute because he was cute. ”

Sang-woo grins as she looks at her pupils shaking widely, wondering if she was embarrassed.

Let's say she's cute again. Her face is even redder.

“Ears, how cute! Did you eat something wrong? ”

“I'm not.”

“But you keep saying weird things, don't you? Aren't you sick? I have to go to the hospital... Ah, it's weird that a strong Awakener like you is sick... ”

After that, I was staring at Sang-woo for a long time.

Sang-woo smiled in his heart as he watched it.

‘He likes me, too. Really.’

Even if it were unnoticed, I could see her reaction now and notice that she has a crush on herself.

Maybe that's why.

Sang-woo was able to take courage.

“… some kind of virus or something…. ”

“Hey, starboard side. ”

Starboard side is just saying anything in front of Sang-woo.

She suddenly stops speaking to Sang-woo's serious voice and face.

“Huh?"

She feels her heart racing.

Suddenly (1) End
