The Live

The massive mountain range that forms the boundary of the middle region was high enough that the clouds of the sky hung.

The Grand Mountain.

It was the name of a massive mountain range that crossed the middle and human lands.

The top was hard to breathe properly. Beyond the 7,000-metre high mountain range lies an invisible vast bush.

That was the middle ground.

The team of architects, including Yun Jae and the regular, climbed to the top of the Grand Mountain and looked down.

“It's really big. ”

“What a spectacle. ”

There were no clouds hanging from the especially clear sky.

Thanks to this, the view from the top of the mountain range was truly worth paying for.

A huge jungle stretching over 7,000 metres above the horizon.

I thought I might see a demon or angels' camp, but I couldn't see them.

‘How far is it? ’

Despite failing expectations, the spectacle in front of my eyes was certainly remarkable.

Of course, Yoon Jae soon turned off his interest in it.

“Let's get down to it. ”

I didn't come here for tourism in the first place.

Just for a short while, Yoon Jae quickly lost interest. It begins to descend toward the jungle in the middle, as Elvin does.

There was nothing to say about Pyeongtaek Chon. For him, this landscape had been a sight that bored him.

However, unlike those three people, they seemed to have some regrets.

“Already? Just a little more. ”

“I've never been to the middle of nowhere before, so I'd like to go a little further. ”

“First time?”

Yoon Jae looked back at Royce with a surprising face.

She was the one who went to the other side with Elvin. In other words, this is the person who entered the eighth year.

Moreover, the person who has the skills to reach the top few rankers. It was no surprise that she had come to the middle area for the first time.

“Of course it's my first time. because we don't think about coming here except for certain agents. ”

“I've been here before. ”

Have either of you ever been alone? Yun Jae asked if he had been to the middle area before.

“When? ”

“Four years. When I was a sun chick. I was curious.... ”

Elvin said, mixing half jokes and half sincerity.

“I almost died. ”

A spacious room with open ceilings.

Beneath it, two people sat at the center of the table.

Tak -

A black stone rises on the board.

Black and white stones that have been set up and spread out.

It was a GO.

“It's hard to even try this a few times. ”

“Did you lose?”

“I haven't said that yet. ”

Two people with one board between them.

Anyone who knew who they were would be surprised to see them all gathered together.

Hundred thousand, and Arhan.

They were the first generation to pass into the underworld, and the masters of the Skyscrapers and the White Tower clans belonging to the Five.

Tak -

“Oh, that's possible. ”

Hundred thousand admired Arhan for his number. Arhan folds his arms, waiting for a thousand.

“Let's leave it. It's been three hours. ”

“It's been a long time. Let's relax. ”

“Makes sense to ask for more time. ”

A hundred thousand touched the white stone he was holding and asked.

“It's a little dangerous to just let them go, isn't it? ”

“Them?”

“I heard. I sent five walkers, including Elvin, to the Midlands. Together. ”

“I did.”

“Why did you do that? If I had to let him go, I'd rather have a proper team. ”

At a thousand words, Arhan leans forward slowly, loosening his arms.

“If so……. ”

He spoke in a low, dry voice.

“What's different about that? ”

“ ……. ”

“There are limits to how we can help. You know, they may not know anything else, but we're still conscious. ”

“Yes, I know. ”

“If they are right, as you have said, we should avoid any form of contact with them. That's my conclusion. ”

Arhan says so, and takes the car, which has been cold for a long time, to his mouth.

A hundred thousand nods to his thoughts. In the past, I couldn't disagree with his thoughts as I had experienced it once.

But…….

“What if they die? ”

I couldn't help but think about what would happen.

“It's a step in the right direction. Nothing's gonna change. ”

“The steps in place.... ”

Just, just, just...

The Hundred Thousand taps the corners of the plate with a tile, tidying up the intricacies in his head.

“That's easy for you to say. ”

“Did I say something wrong? ”

“I'm not wrong. Because it's true what you say doesn't make a difference. ”

A thousand voices said that were mixed with bitterness somewhere.

“But... that doesn't make sense. We've been making that mistake ever since. ”

“A mistake?”

“Yes, it's a mistake. What if it wasn't a mistake? Nineteen out of ten are our faults. ”

A hundred thousand words were somewhat extreme.

But Arhan's heart cries out as he listens. Arhan thinks that's not wrong.

“We were wrong……. ”

Arhan nods.

“Yes, I admit it. ”

“All you have to do is admit? ”

“You don't have to worry so much. I'm not the easiest person to think of. ”

On a different note, I looked at Arhan's face, placing a pebble in his hand.

Arhan asks with a smile.

“Wouldn't it be better to have the right team? ”

“But?”

“No. Now would be a good time. ”

Hundreds of thousands made a look like what it meant.

Arhan soon gave an answer to his expression.

“A walker Elvin would do better than a middle team. ”
