Seo Min-hyun roasted Baek Hyun all night. He said, "Whose dog is 3 billion, why give it to yourself?" Despite eating meat like that, I ordered tons of delivery foods and bought various types of liquor at nearby convenience stores to make drinks.

Throughout the dawn, Seong-colon went back to his house, saying he had to sleep in a sleepy house. After sending Seo Min-kyu, Baek Hyun cleaned the living room and slept.

Waking up Baek Hyun's sleep was the sound of a cell phone ringing. Baek Hyun, who opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling quietly and checked the number. It was an unknown number. I scratched my frizzy head with my hands. I didn't sleep long, but I wasn't tired.

Thinking about whether to take it or not for a while, I just got off the phone.

[Baek Hyun?]

“Who are you?”

[Park Joon-hwan.]

Surprising names introduced themselves.

[I'd like to meet you. Is the time okay?]

“It's time. It's okay. Let's see where it comes from.”

[Anywhere. I'll find it when I decide where.]

“Then I'll see you inside Abyss. I was going in today. ”

[Abyss?]

“Wouldn't it be nice to see each other there? ”

[Why don't you ask me why I'm asking you to meet?]

Park Joon-hwan asked in a mixed voice. Baek Hyun burst into laughter at the words.

“Oh, I forgot to ask. Why?”

[A sort of scout purpose.]

“Guild?”

[Answer the vague question. But I'm not here to scout you into a bloody guild. Do you want to join the blood-blind guild?]

“No.”

[I knew it. I have that kind of power, but there's no way I can get into another guild. I don't know if I can make a guild again.]

“Well, I don't even want to build a guild. So, you're gonna keep talking on the phone? ”

[I'll meet you at Abyss. I'm the one who asked you to meet me, so I'll come see you. Where are you now?]

“There is a deaf nest near Herad, a residential area near the Sanctuary. It's your gate. Can you come? ”

[I've been there before. Herad's been there before. I'll get to Herad and go where you are. It'll probably take about 30 minutes.]

Park Joon-hwan said that and hung up. Baek Hyun smiled as he looked down at the cell phone with the call disconnected.

‘You don't have to hurry. ’

Baek Hyun sits in bed thinking about it and plays the paternal seat. I operated the Pacheon Shinhwa to move the inner air. The inner pores of the sheath swirled rapidly, and the senses of the white man woke up. After finishing Soju Cheon, Baek Hyun came down from the bed. I broke my neck and went to the bathroom.

When I looked in the mirror, I saw his face just woke up from sleep. Baek Hyun ponders for a moment and nods. As I thought before, there was no need to rush. He took off the clothes he was wearing. Sarin's black clothes were not worn, so they were also great as pajamas.

I turned on the hot water, wrapped my head, and brushed my teeth with plenty of toothpaste. After meticulously painting the body wash, I shaved it neatly. After finishing the shower, the water evaporated and the body was dressed again. The underwear I wore all night was thrown into the washing machine and I wore new underwear and pants. Skin and lotion applied.

Then I woke up from my sleep, and it lasted about thirty minutes. I wanted to eat too, but I wasn't hungry.

Baek Hyun crosses the living room feeling excited. A little late? You think it's a twitch, don't you? I just asked you to meet me on the subject. Baek Hyun closes his eyes and recalls the abyss imprinted in his memory.

Park Joon-hwan was already near the gate. Park Joon-hwan was not even slightly embarrassed by the sudden appearance of Baek Hyun.

“Hello."

“Nice to meet you.”

Baek Hyun bowed his head and greeted him. Park Joon-hwan was in many ways a different person than expected. He was taller than Baek Hyun, and not too tall. It doesn't look very strong to me.

"Funny."

But Baek Hyun's heart was pounding with excitement and excitement. He could feel the enormous power hidden in Park Joon-hwan. When the seamless cormorant enters the base of the counterglottis, the inner pores are completely crushed, so that it is not possible to feel that the seamless cormorant has been cooked. Park Joon-hwan did just that. After returning to this world, none of the hunters that Baek Hyun met stood on that level.

"Colonial and Sua." It really makes a difference. ’

The difference between the two who simply gained power, and Park Joon-hwan, who was chosen as a leveller and a preliminary apostle, who was undergoing trials, was enormous. It was enough to say it was different. Baek Hyun had no intention of ignoring Seo Min-geok or Seong-soo, but it would be impossible to deal with Park Joon-hwan even if the two were together.

“I never thought I'd see you like this. ”

Baek Hyun said with an awkward smile. Park Joon-hwan stands a little further and looks at Baek Hyun.

“I don't think I was surprised by that. ”

“I wanted to see you, too. ”

“Why?”

“That's a lot of reasons. First of all, you are the strongest hunter in Korea. And you're the easiest apostle I'll ever meet... no, a prospective apostle. ”

“And?”

“I'm also interested in your power. ”

Park Joon-hwan smiled.

“And the monarch you signed. The spirit is watching over me. ”

“I see.”

Park Joon-hwan smiled with his mouth up.

“You're a very interesting person. ”

Park Joon-hwan said in a slow voice.

“It is unprecedented that a human being who has not signed a contract with a monarch... has such power. ”

“They all did. ”

“My lord is also very curious about your identity. Boundaries... boundaries. Is that offensive?”

“It's no wonder you feel bad if you're so wary of someone you don't know or have never met. ”

‘Son of a bitch.' Park Joon-hwan's eyebrows twitch slightly as Baek Hyun refers to the spirit.

“I like to be careful what you say. ”

“Oh, I'm sorry. Anyway, I don't feel so good. ”

“It is natural that my lords and other lords are vigilant and interested in you. Your strength is not from any monarch, but from yourself. ”

Park Joon-hwan continued to speak calmly with emotion.

“So there's a greed. The tutorial is the work of contracting and empowering countless human beings to conceal the rocks that can be raised. Those so chosen will be empowered to contract with the monarch, and will then fight in Abyss to prove their worth again. ”

Park Joon-hwan slowly raised his hand and pointed to Baek Hyun.

“But you're a jewel from the beginning. Who can't covet a precious gem when it rolls around? The monarchs are the same.”

“So?”

“Follow me. ”

Park Joon-hwan laughed.

“My lord wants you. ”

“At the end of the tutorial, you didn't get the monarch's choice, did you? ”

“Not necessarily. Of course, it's not as simple as it was in the tutorial, but... it doesn't matter. ”

Baek Hyun glanced at Park Joon-hwan's face without answering. Park Joon-hwan continued to speak without stopping.

“I will guide you. My lord, I will take you to the realm of the Unsullied... so that you can know him for yourself. That way, you can make a deal with him. ”

“And then what? ”

“I don't know what happens after that. I have not yet become a complete apostle. ”

“When you brought me here, did you say the spirit would make you an apostle? ”

Baek Hyun smiled and asked. Park Joon-hwan laughed at the question.

“You said you'd acknowledge my achievements. ”

“So I'm not an apostle? ”

“Not necessarily. Just because you're an apostle doesn't mean you have one. Only, not all monarchs fear more than one apostle. If you wish, and the monarch acknowledges your worth. The Apostle's stomach will fall on you, too. ”

“Hmm.”

Baek Hyun glances at the arms he was wearing.

“I hate it, though. ”

The answer was already set.

Park Joon-hwan's smile disappeared in response to Baek Hyun's answer. The smoky atmosphere changed. A ferocious force flowed from Park Joon-hwan. Park Joon-hwan asked as he looked at Baek Hyun with his cool eyes.

“Can you tell me why? ”

“I have no intention of contracting any monarch. Now, if you had come and promised to contract again, you would have contracted with the monarch by the end of the tutorial. ”

“Is that the whole reason? ”

“And again. When you listen to him, you don't even know the intent of the spirit. Besides... the contract with the monarch seems to be constrained in many ways. No?”

“It's not just a contract for strength. ”

“I don't like that. I hate it. I'm strong even if I don't have the power the monarchs give me. But what do we need to gain strength from them when we run into constraints? ”

When Baek Hyun's words were finished, Park Joon-hwan laughed. A slight laugh followed intermittently, which soon became a big laugh.

“Cheap.”

Park Joon-hwan is dead.

“Don't you think you have too much confidence in your own power? ”

“It's okay if I have enough. You think I'm arrogant? ”

“Honestly, it feels that way. It must be true that you are strong. It is truly astonishing that the power was not received from the monarch. But, you know, it's just human power. ”

Park Joon-hwan's energy sharpened. It has now become so thick that it can be seen in the eyes. Baek Hyun calmed the tail of his mouth as he watched Park Joon-hwan's body twist with a grey self-defense force.

“You didn't sign a contract with the monarch, so you don't know what they are. How great they are. Humans are nothing compared to them but insects. The same is true of the power you are proud of. ”

“What about you? ”

“I'm just a bug, too. In the end, humans... are still humans. But the biggest difference between you and me is, I'm the monarch's favorite bug. Whose favour are you receiving? ”

“Nothing. ”

Baek Hyun replied with a smile. In response, Park Joon-hwan's words were blocked. He narrows his eyes and stares at Baek Hyun. Baek Hyun's answer was too short to understand.

[The spirit is angry.]

[An armed spirit casts a death sentence.]

[The spirit shouts, "Kill that human."]

[I feel that the spirit is unacceptable for that human remark.]

[There is no spirit...]

Park Joon-hwan's head was filled with the reaction of the spirit. Park Joon-hwan took a small breath. It was not that I did not understand the reaction of the spirit. Armageddon. The monarch he was serving was like an incarnation to his name. It was obvious that the spirit was furious because he said that he was being carefree in the presence of such a monarch.

And so was Park Joon-hwan. He contracted with the armed forces, was empowered, and was chosen as an apostle. Even though he had not yet become a complete apostle, being chosen as an apostle meant that Park Joon-hwan had the same qualities as the spirit. Park Joon-hwan did not hide the flesh twitching in his chest. I filled the space with overflowing gigas.

“What happens if I say no? ”

“My lord wishes your death. ”

“You seem to want to kill me, too. ”

“I hope so, but it's true that I want to kill you myself. ”

“That's fine, too. It's straightforward and nice.”

“You're not afraid, are you? ”

Park Joon-hwan laughed and asked. Last night, I heard from Lee Sook-cheon about the fight with Baek Hyun. Punitive War. I know that Baek Hyun didn't give power in that fight. Despite that, Park Joon-hwan concluded that Baek Hyun's power was enough to handle it.

It became convinced as a direct encounter. After all, a man who did not contract with the monarch. It's an absurd force as a human being, but in the end it's just a human being.

Park Joon-hwan knew that humans were weak.

I had to know. The best hunter in Korea? If so, it is not even the highest level outside Korea. Of course, the level becomes meaningless if it is given above the Apostle.

But no matter how apostle, the essence is human.

Park Joon-hwan recalled when he was chosen as a preliminary apostle.

Iron Blood Bow, Territory of the Ghost. A divine being that I never dared to raise there.

The kidneys that follow him.

In front of them, man was so small and weak.

“You were good at asking me to come to Abyss, weren't you? ”

“Haha!”

Park Joon-hwan laughed loudly at Baek Hyun's words.

“Neither do I want to have a big accident in reality. It's a world without fools now anyway... but sometimes it's a fun place. ”

This can't compare to knocking on two thousand and a thousand king's guildmen yesterday. It was done in the room of Gangnam Roomsalong. But if you try to kill Baek Hyun in real life, at least one of them will become a field of ashes and will cause numerous casualties.

It was something Park Joon-hwan didn't want to deal with either. I do not think that the law and the Abyss administration of this country can do anything for themselves. However, other monarch apostles could capture and move, and hostile monarchs could hunt with their apostles.

I couldn't come all the way here and slip. Park Joon-hwan laughed as he looked at Baek Hyun.

“Won't you run away? ”

“Why would I? ”

“Arrogant.”

“Not really. ”

“But let me tell you something, just in case. If you run away... what do you think I'm gonna do? ”

“I don't know. Are you talking to a ghost? ”

“Seo Min-guk.”

Park Joon-hwan said his name.

“I'm going to find him first. Kill him...”

“Hey.”

It was before Park Joon-hwan's words ended.

“You don't have to, you don't have to. ”

The laughter disappeared from Baek Hyun's face.

“That's not going to happen. ”

Park Joon-hwan didn't even smile anymore.

“You're making me spin. ”

When Park Joon-hwan dared to mention Seo-min.

Baek Hyun decided not to respect Park Joon-hwan anymore.

The feeling of anger was a little strange to Baek Hyun.

Anger is one of the natural emotions for a person. I used to be angry at Baek Hyun for a number of things. Many, if you think about it now, minor things. Minor problems with part-time work. Goddamn life. Ten thousand metros full of people, buses, unfriendly guests, Yankees who never went to school. Teachers who were openly discriminating and ignoring orphans.

After entering the monastery.

Strangely enough... there wasn't much to be angry about. There was no reason to be angry, no case. It was just as pleasant for Baek Hyun, not to be angry. The successive defeats did not serve as a reason for his anger.

The defeat was natural because it was weak.

One day I win.

I can win.

No, I left it. I even enjoyed losing. Lost in an instant. Lost while persistently enduring. Lost by mistake in a tense encounter. And a sick defeat.

All of them.

It was the same. There was no anger. I was able to win, but it's too bad. Why am I losing? I want to kill him. Son of a bitch. There was no such emotion. If you lose, it's just like that. It's okay. It was fun. It hurts, but it's okay. It's okay. I win one day anyway. I can win. With that in mind, keep going.

So anger has been a long time. It was strange. But I knew this was anger. I had no reason to be patient.

What not to do.

Park Joon-hwan said that, and there was no reason for Baek Hyun to respect Park Joon-hwan. Not everyone can do that, but some people have things they should never touch.

In the case of Baek Hyun, one of them was Seo Min-sik. A friend from the orphanage. elementary school, middle school together. We've been split up since high school, but we've always been in touch, we've met, we've played, we've talked, we've talked about the future, each other's lives. Baek Hyun didn't intend to die for Seo Min, but I wanted to do things for Seo Min.

What I can do now is with the abilities of Baek Hyun.
