Chapter 243 – The Empire (3)
“I assure you, he must be the strongest S-class in Korea. He just doesn’t play active duty. I think it’s even cooler.”
“…Your personality has changed? Do you know I say that every time I see your face?”
“Can you not change? He almost died twice in less than a year. I’m just saying we have one more corner to believe in.”
Now in front of the gate that is about to be activated. Several hunters gathered together to solve the problem. Right now, Baek Seung-chan and Kang Yuna, who belong to different affiliations, met here armed with their own weapons.
The two academy classmates have known each other since they were younger. At that time, in fact, they were more like rivals than close friends, but that kind of petty competition became meaningless the moment they went out into the world and started to experience actual combat. Even top-notch rookies, who claim to be naughty, are gradually getting dull and cut as they go through and experience real battles.

‘He’s not a great person. Because it saved the lives of many people. But I was first.’
Yuna Kang saw Baek Seung-chan talking excitedly and she smiled faintly. In fact, I already knew the subject Baek Seung-chan boasted about.
Actually, she was the first to save her life from Baek Seung-chan. Even that relationship continues to this day. Although we rarely run into each other inside the company because we are different from each other, the meeting that started as a personal relationship has recently started again.
‘I hope it will be dinner soon.’
Yuna Kang wished for time to pass. She said this evening because she was supposed to meet him. Even this meeting was his first contact. She herself wasn’t sure if this meeting would continue in the direction she wanted, but the meeting was hers anyway.
“Look out everyone! The gate activates!”
“The monsters will appear soon!”
Of course, for that, I had to overcome the current crisis first. The monsters of the other world coming out through the dimensional door, disaster itself for those living in the present.
Kang Yuna, along with her other hunters, took up her own weapon, her bow.
***
A gate appeared in the middle of an apartment complex, and about 20 hunters united by three companies were safely killed without casualties.
After checking the breaking news, I put down my coffee cup feeling a little more comfortable. It is true that Kang Yuna was worried.
However, if she continues her hunter work, this part will continue to bother her.
‘So this is the best.’
There are not many ways I can help her with her. I decided not to ignore it, but Kang Yuna, who had already left her industry, did not want to go back to Hunter.
I already have something more important to me and I have to protect it. But I will do what I can.
The cell phone I’m holding in my hand was the secret.
“Hey, have you been waiting?”
“No. I just came too.”
Not long after, Kang Yu-na, wearing a mask, sneaked up to her and sat down in her chair. It’s actually the first time since that day that we met in person.
“I will give you a present. A gift that will help everyone in the future.”
I showed her a video of her filmed with her Serenian. Naturally, her eyes widened and she naturally fell into the video.
Serenian expected that she, a human being, would probably not be able to learn, but when she saw her video, her eyes flinched as if she had sensed something.
‘Is anything else possible?’
Looking at it, I thought of other things. If it is possible for a hunter to learn the archery of the elves, it might be possible for a hunter to learn the characteristics of other races. Because the warrior was such a case.
“I think you should learn by doing it yourself. It’s not working right now.”
“Hey, don’t do it here, go and practice. I see people.”
Kang Yu-na, who had fallen in love with her video, started to take out her weapon from the case she was carrying at any moment. I panicked and stopped her.
If you feel the possibility, that’s enough. It’s not that the video wears out, you just have to watch it until you get used to it.
“I heard the news from Seungchan. Of course, it wasn’t only in the media, but rumors spread almost all…”
“Because of that, the team is paying attention these days.”
Once the video was turned off, Kang Yu-na looked at her and opened her mouth again. I laughed out loud when he mentioned Baek Seung-chan and mentioned what happened that day.
I was determined, but it was not easy. Whether it was Kim Dong-chun’s hand or a government agency, it didn’t spread to the media, but it’s been a long time since what I’ve done has already spread through the mouths of people in the industry at the site.
Thanks to that, I got to know our team leader who didn’t know about my past, and these days I’m just looking at myself.
“Yeah, but you’re not quitting the company, are you?”
“Don’t stop. When I think about it, there are quite a few advantages.”
She seems worried that I will quit my job. But I have no intention of quitting my job.
There is one drawback that I cannot take care of the world in the pot while I am working, but the residents of the world in the pot have already stored up enough strength to last for a few days without me.
Rather than quitting my job now, I thought it would be better to stay in the hunter industry and see the situation.
“Orcs who don’t know when they’ll come out while they’re active…So beware of the fighting spirits. They’re systematically trying to invade this place with evil plans. There are human forces already working with them somewhere on this planet. So you will learn about the tactics of the hunters.”
“How the hell do you know that?”
“…Didn’t they teach you?”
In addition, they warned about Orcs. By the way, Kang Yuna was the first to hear her reaction. Even though I told the government officials, including team leader Joo Yoon-ah, that there is an orc who speaks Korean and can shoot.
“It will take some time. Now that too has been turned upside down. Even if you think about it, it’s not a case to be taken lightly, isn’t it? Are there humans who have joined hands with monsters?!”
“I think it’s better to hurry a little. I clearly warned you. If something goes wrong, they are responsible.”
She called Kim Dongchun on the way back home. He replied that it would take a little time, but the country was fully aware of it.
And if this country recognizes it, other countries will also recognize it. If that happens, there will be an investigation, so there is a high chance that the tails of those who are somewhere will be stepped on.
‘Some people have already been arrested.’
After hanging up the phone, I was still confused on the way home. The Orcs are clearly aiming for the strength of the warrior. A powerful force that stood against the demon lord. If that happens, not only us but also the world inside the pot is in danger.
That’s why you can’t ask Serenian to attack the orcs in the Pandemonium right away. For now, I have no choice but to support and watch them as they slowly increase their power and influence.
‘No big deal.’
Maybe it was the evening when the sun had already set, and the flower pots were a little calmer. Glowstone collected in dungeons is one of Eden’s specialties that have not been touched by me. Thanks to this, the world inside the pot is quite bright at night, but many residents have gone to bed.
Only the vampires, who are nocturnal, are actively roaming around their territory. Sometimes he took off his cloak and went outside to talk and interact with others.
Elise is in command of those who arrange and decorate the inside of the castle, which has been made into miniatures with the items she has collected. Judging by the look on her face, it seemed she liked the miniature castle. However, seeing her figure, the thought that she should make her figure also crossed her mind.
As expected, starting once is a mistake. No matter which forces migrated in the future, they had to make all their figures.
“As expected. Are the dwarves crazy about the magic stones the vampires created?”
“By the way, Sir Serene, shouldn’t we bring other comrades here as well? Compared to the elves and dwarves, there were only 57 of us. Too little.”
“I’d love to, but I’ll have to ask for permission.”
When I looked elsewhere, there was Serene, a half-beast race, discussing the future of half-beast races while wiggling his bunny ears that towered over her head.
They seemed to want to welcome more mixed races into the world in the pot. Considering their position of being persecuted and despised by others, and the fact that they are so few, it was a reasonable idea.
Population equals power. Both elves and dwarves tried to increase their population somehow before ending their relationship with their homeland.
‘Is there any reason to refuse?’
If the mixed beastmen wanted to bring more of their kind, I was willing to do so. Because I don’t do much anyway. Rather, the will of Serenian, the leader, would be more important.
