Catalytic

Lee Seok-cheon lies on the bed and stares at the ceiling. The buzzing of the news on the TV was loud and loud. Lee Sook-cheon got up and spit out the humiliation on the TV. It cost me a lot of money, and all I could hear anywhere was the sound of Baek Hyun.

It's not something I don't understand. It's no wonder he didn't make a deal with the monarch. What the hell are you doing? Lee Suk-cheon chewed her lower lip with a smile on her face.

Guild Leader of the King of Heaven.

Lee Seok-cheon is a man who has no shortage. He had so much. It wasn't the highest level in a small country called Korea, but it wasn't enough anywhere. Too much money? It's a problem because there's too much. Power? From the old days, money and power were the laws that followed.

But the greed of man is endless. I can have it, I want more. In particular, Lee Seok-cheon was a type of human being who could never bear to take away what he had spit.

However, he was not a dumb great man who worked tirelessly. Lee Seok-cheon saw the power of Baek Hyun and knew that he could not do it by himself or by the power of the Heavenly King's Guild.

How can a man who doesn't have a contract have that power? ’

The biggest question was that. I heard that nonsense from Fresh, but of course, Lee Seok-cheon didn't think Baek Hyun's words were true.

“It's hard.”

It was very difficult.

Power balance.

Top of the Hunter Society in Korea. Three rivers consisting of Park Joon-hwan, Seo Min-kik, and Seong-sooa. A double guild called Blood Blind, King of Heaven.

Everyone, and the power balance that Lee Seung-cheon had taken for granted, was overturned by only one person. It's absurd. I'd rather be the one who used to blow his name like Seo Min-geok or Seong-soo. A guy who doesn't have a contract with a monarch or a water fountain or a lightning bolt in the dry sky suddenly pops up and flips the power balance. It would be better if a hunter from abroad came suddenly to immigrate. It can't happen in the first place.

‘Should I leave you alone? ’

It must be difficult to take action. But how? When I remembered the smiling face, I was frightened and creepy. It is not an opponent who can do it by force. This did not mean that it would be possible to put pressure on something other than force. It was instinctively discernible.

Lee Suk-cheon was a man of many things, but none of his had the means to pressure Baek Hyun. In the end, all Lee Suk-cheon could do was turn off the noisy TV and buy expensive liquor to make him feel like shit. Even if I was confronted rather than drinking outside, it was best to be alone at home.

‘Next month's the problem. ’

When you think about it and follow the whiskey in an ice-filled glass.

Lee Sukcheon's phone rang. With annoying eyes, the face of Lee Seok-cheon, who saw his phone, hardened.

“... what is it? ”

[Park Joon-hwan]

The name on the liquid crystal of the phone was enough to surprise Lee Sook-cheon. Why did you suddenly call the person who became a preliminary apostle of the helpless and was stuck in Abyss? I used to exchange phone numbers, but I haven't had any personal contact since. Lee Sukcheon hurriedly lifted up his phone by dropping a bottle of whiskey. I don't know whether to take it or not. Lee Suk-cheon pondered about it for a short while. He is the head of the same double guild, but Lee Sook-cheon and Park Joon-hwan are different people. In fact, the Heavenly King's Guild is lacking in many ways when compared to the bloodline. That's why Lee Sook-cheon was trying to raise the King of Heaven by using this opportunity.

“... chew. ”

Lee Seok-cheon gave a short swearing and took a breath.

Let's get it.

Lee Sukcheon's fingertips stabbed the liquid crystal.

“Lots.”

Baek Hyun confirms the amount deposited in his bank account and mutters in a trembling voice.

Defeat the monster that was right yesterday. The coins obtained from the subjugation came into the inventory of Baek Hyun as they were, and Baek Hyun stopped at the currency conversion corner of the bank designated by the Administration to convert the coins.

However, the amount converted was more than I imagined. Baek Hyun counted too many zeros, and quit. It was not just the currency of coins. A settlement was also deposited for the sale of the monsters' corpses by the administration.

‘I blew it for nothing. ’

Baek Hyun is not greedy. A lot of money is good. If Baek Hyun hadn't blown up the body of the boss monster yesterday, he would have received more settlement. Some of the monsters' carcasses were treated as new materials and were more valuable, especially the boss monsters' carcasses.

“Hey...”

The staff at the window glanced up at Baek Hyun.

“That's... Baek Hyun, right? Yesterday on TV...”

“Yes.”

“Oh, I see! ”

The employee was shaking and pretending to know. She hurriedly tried to say something more, but Baek Hyun quickly left the bank before it became noisy.

‘I heard you make a lot of money. ’

I heard a lot about it, but when I saw the money that came in, I was forced to put out my tongue. Of course, not all hunters make a lot of money.

Yesterday's subjugation was practically all done by Baek Hyun himself. All the monsters from Abyss crawled all by themselves, even the boss monsters. I was able to poison the coins and settlements by killing them all. It was a few years' salary for a dizzy worker. If I skipped the subjugation a few times in the future, I would be able to pay Seongcolon all the hospital costs.

‘No, you have to pay for the house.

I have too much to give back. Baek Hyun choked and tasted again and killed Kichuk. While the colony was going around out front, if you wanted to avoid the commotion, you'd have to wear sunglasses or hats. I didn't need that disguise from Baek Hyun. He walked in the middle as he did, but those on the way were not aware of Baek Hyun.

The streets were peaceful.

Yesterday, monsters poured out of Abyss of Huangcheon, but Seoul was only peaceful. People here never imagine the walls of the Abyss Entrance Hall collapsing. Some of them hunt for Abyss, but for them, reality is a peaceful place away from monsters.

Because I'm used to it.

Abyss appeared only four years ago, but people are quick to adapt and forget. Four years ago, monsters crawling from Abyss feared that the world might perish, but now the world is not afraid of that. Hunter will take care of it. There are apostles.The monarchs will do anything. I think vaguely about it, and I just live.

But even if reality is peaceful, Abyss is a terrible place. It's only monsters who do autonomous patronage in Abyss. Of course, monsters don't mean they don't have intelligence. Some monsters have intellect enough to talk to humans. But hunters never communicate or try to understand them.

There have already been many attempts, and everyone has returned to failure.

Abyss is not a world for humans. Monsters with intellect who live here do not treat floating hunters like Abyss. For them, hunters were the enemy and prey to be hunted unconditionally.

Halfway across that world, you can always get in, you can get out, you can crawl out at the end of every month. The world is too peaceful.

“Trust in Pure Saint! ”

When you pass the subway entrance, someone shouts. Looking at you, a series of hordes with plagiarism were shouting, "Break your neck."

“He is the true god who appeared to save humanity from the monsters of Abyss! ”

“When Abyss appeared in this world, what did the gods we used to believe in?! ”

“They didn't save us! ”

“What we need to believe in is a new god! Trust in Pure Saint!”

There were no fanatics. But it was nothing new. In recent years, the religion of serving the monarchs of Abyss as gods has been emerging in order of meritocracy. Existing religions were still solid, but what did God do when the world became like this? 'Failure to answer the question was fatal. Even if this is the case, it is inevitable that I like the one who put out his hand when it is urgent.

“You're not the only one who helped humanity. ”

One of the passing young men shouted out in a voice.

“I made a contract with the blood donor. If the monarch is a god, my god is a blood donor, not a purist. ”

“Then you wish for salvation to the Blood Lion. ”

A middle-aged man who was carrying a sign spit out.

“I don't know if he wants to save the faithful. ”

“Hey, mister. Are you ignoring the monarch you signed me for? ”

“Did the apostle Carpago ever talk about Hunter's death? ”

A middle-aged man snorted.

“The Apostle of Pure St. Drave was sure about the follow-up of the faithful! If we don't avoid the end, everyone who believes in Pure St. will enter her sanctuary and enjoy eternal happiness! ”

“Fuck, what an end! ”

The voice of the young man was roughened. But all I could do was curse, not rebuttal. Baek Hyun stood there and saw it.

The apostle who received the monarch. The only human being who talks to the monarch. After Drave became the first apostle of Pure St., the world tried to communicate with the monarch through Drave.

But it didn't go well. Several apostles arose after Drave, but they did not communicate with the monarchs as the world intended. The world had no control over the apostles. But the first thing I said about postmortem was Drave, and thanks to it, the number of people who wanted a contract with Pure St.

Seeing the sights, Baek Hyun wondered. If what they say is true. If the monarchs are really gods, and they guarantee a follow-up. If there is no God in this world.

"Where am I going because I'm dead? ’

Where does Baek Hyun, who has not signed a contract with any monarch, go to die? Do we cross the Three Thousand Commandments as we heard in the Monastery?

‘I don't even know if they're really new in the first place. ’

If it's a god, it's a catalytic god.

‘If you're going to help the King of Prayer, you're going to help him. What are you going to do, pick a human and give him strength? ’

There are 13 of them.

Baek Hyun passed by the people who were fighting silang. If you confront the pagan mythological republic, you can become God. The teacher's words touched Baek Hyun's head and passed. I also recalled the monsters I fought in Abyss yesterday. The ones who were too weak. Abyss is overflowing with monsters stronger than that.

‘You don't have to think about the afterlife already. ’

The future is refreshing, but it's too early to say.
