194 – Calamity-2
Worst catastrophe since cataclysm.
The city’s upper echelons were busy in the unprecedented crisis that first occurred after the city was built.
All personnel worked hard to ensure that there was no further damage to the city, and they exchanged numerous information with the Sun Guild to study how to quickly catch the gate.
Ha-yeon went to the larger city of Sol, and Wol-ha accepted the seriousness of the incident and put down the title of queen under the moonlight for a while and focused on blocking gates that occurred in various parts of the city.

No matter how much she ordered, it was impossible to prevent the gate from occurring or reduce the time it took for the monster to pop out of the gate, so it was her job to move quickly and block the monster whenever the gate occurred.
As she helped keep the city safe, other Awakeners had more time to spare, and they were able to put in work such as catching monsters that had already appeared or stabilizing the city.
Huaryeon went to China.
I forced myself to send something I didn’t want to go.
What I said might be dangerous, your China said it was more dangerous and sent them by force.
It wasn’t as simple as when climbing gates first came out.
Since it is the Cheonma Singyo with so many strong people, Mt. Cheonma will not be a big problem, but the real problem is that this disaster is not limited to just one or two cities.
It is safe to say that it has already come under the realm of the Heavenly Demon Goddess, and the whole of China must be experiencing the same problem as our city.
The strong people of the Heavenly Demonic Church should take care of all of China, not just stay in the Heavenly Demonic Church.
You’re still going to stay in our city?
I told her not to disgrace the name of the heavenly horse, and she left while crying.
He said that if I was in danger, he would know right away and come back, but that seemed difficult. It is impossible for even the Heavenly Horse to know the safety of the person inside the gate, so if she is in the gate or I am in the gate, no matter how great danger I am in, she will not be able to help me.
‘In the end, it’s something I have to solve on my own.’
The other kids are also busy doing city work.
there is no one to protect me
It was a situation that should have made me anxious, but I felt a sense of liberation.
Safety doesn’t equal happiness.
Rather, the current situation where a crisis could come to me was much more thrilling to me.
‘That doesn’t mean the situation is good, though.’
The gate protruded out of the space.
The gates that have appeared so far have not appeared well inside the building because of their large size.
It was because there were very few cases where the gate destroyed the existing physical space and revealed itself.
However, the gates appearing this time are much smaller than before, so they popped out even indoors, albeit with a low probability.
Therefore, my safety was not guaranteed to the extent of simply telling me not to leave the house.
“I’m so anxious.”
Wolha came to my house during a short break and told me.
“There is no one to protect the knight.”
Liu Ying followed Hualien to China.
“Don’t worry too much. I’m strong enough.”
She knew very well that I had become stronger.
Even so, what worries me is that she likes me that much.
‘Even so, I feel overprotective…’
I hope you will trust me now.
Because I can protect my body at least now.
“Don’t you worry?”
As I hugged Wolha, the tremors calmed down a bit, but she was still looking at me with a worried expression.
“If I think you’re in danger while working, I’ll come to rescue you right away.”
“Keep working, because I won’t be in danger with anything now. I’m starting to feel sad now? Don’t you believe me?”
Don’t you know that worrying too much about me is also a kind of ignoring me?
“… OK…”
Wolha reluctantly nodded.
“I wish I knew.”
“Then I’ll go to work.”
I worked close to 10 hours a month, but the break time was less than 30 minutes.
I was worried that I might be overexerting my body, but my younger brother said that it was only because it was in the early stages, and when the system was established to a certain extent, conditions would be created for other awakened people to focus more on gate handling, and naturally, the work under the moon would be reduced.
‘I feel like I’m the only one who’s resting so comfortably…’
Of course, as a non-awakened person, there wouldn’t be many things I could do, but being too still also bothered me.
But I couldn’t go out and find something I could do.
They didn’t lock me up by blocking the door, I have to protect them,
The gate protruded even from inside, so I couldn’t relax for a second.
While I was waiting at home like that, a black gate popped out in front of me and ate me.

“Ugh…”
What happened?
When I woke up and opened my eyes, it was empty space.
As if I was floating in a weightless space, I was floating in the air without touching anything.
‘At the gate that suddenly appeared…’
Seeing that I entered the gate, it doesn’t seem like I was sucked in by a newly created gate…
‘Did someone else bring me into the gate like Ansung?’
But why me?
Wouldn’t it be much more appropriate to bring Wolhana Hayeon, or the guild leader instead of me?
-You look like me.
A sound came from the air.
The sound that seemed to come from all directions made it hard to tell where the story was going.
-It’s here. hey
This time, with a clear direction, I looked in the direction where the sound came from, and a woman with red eyes was looking at me.
‘human?’
no. Obviously not human.
The atmosphere was too awkward for a human being.
– You must be curious about my identity. I’m just an ordinary vampire. Don’t be too questioning.
“Did you bring me here?”
-Yes, I brought you here. They told me to make a gate that could raise the skills of all humans, but I wanted to raise the skills of one human I liked.
“Is that me?”
-Yes child, you resemble me. Even though I have no talent, the way I struggle is just like me when I was young. Like you, I’ve experienced despair, jealousy, and been moved by the little achievements I’ve gained through painstaking efforts.
“You’re a much better person than I am. Seeing you appear like this…”
-Yes, my talent was better than yours, because I was a vampire. I was born into a species that can become stronger if I do something consistently, so I had a much better starting point than you. Of course, the fact that I, born with a low talent for a vampire, rose to the position of queen is purely thanks to my efforts.
“So, why did you call me?”
-I told you. I wanted to support the people I want to support.
“Why me? I’m sure I’m not the only person in the world who works hard even though I’m not as talented as I am.”
-But there was no one with a deep inferiority complex like you. The people around you are so great, so it’s understandable that you have such an inferiority complex.
“What kind of support will you give me?”
-I’ll give you some information. This is very good information that can solve the situation now.
“It’s good.”
-If you block the gate based on that information, I will fill the remaining traces of mana until awakening.
It was a good condition only for me, but since the beings who make climbing gates make gates to support humans in the first place, I decided to trust them.
– Instead, there are conditions.
“What conditions?”
-Don’t get help from others to handle the gate. According to my calculations, you can do it all by yourself. Solve this situation yourself and become the city’s hero. Then you will be able to be a little more confident to yourself.
Can I prevent this catastrophe by myself?
‘I wonder if there’s a special way?’
I couldn’t figure out how to block the gate.
I wasn’t sure if the information was reliable or not.
But the feeling of inferiority that grew in my heart,
The desire to be recognized by others
I let the words come out of my mouth.
-great. Then the contract was concluded.
She made a marble and handed it to me.
-It contains information about this situation. If you solve the problem based on that information, the mana in it will flow into your mana. Then you will finally be awakened as an F-class Awakener. You will have the power you so longed for.
“OK.”
Let’s take this one and go.
After that, you can check if what she said is true or false, right?
