Chapter 61– Library of the white witches

I could smell a familiar stale scent of a mold permeated in the air.

"Is this really my imaginary world?"

This library was a manifestation of a skill inside my mind. And as I looked around at the incredibly vivid library with curiosity, I received a message from the system

[The letters of all witches of the world gathered together to become a book, and the books gathered together to become a knowledge.]

[Welcome to the library of the white witches. A library made from the wisdom of witches all over the world.]

[Your current entry permit is 'F' and more qualifications are required to unlock the next level permit.]

[Please find the knowledge you want here.]

Even though the library had become more vivid and clear, there were still restrictions around me. I had an F-rank entry permit.

If I forced my way into the E-rank library, I would be affected by the witch both physically and mentally.

However, one of the reasons why I entered this library in the first place was for the E-rank library.

-Me too~

I summoned the flower pot as soon as I heard its voice. A beautiful silver flower in a pot appeared on top of my left hand. Few moments later, a little girl showed up from the largest flower bud. She yawned and stretched her body before looking at me.

-I love library~

"Let's go."

I walked to the place I saw the other day but couldn't approach. It was the door connecting the E-rank library.

I gulped down and placed my hand on the handle. Then, I remembered the warning message that came the other day. It was about being physically and mentally influenced by the witches. But I didn't have any shred of hesitation left because I had taken all that into consideration.𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝𝕦𝕤𝕓.𝕔𝕠𝗆

Screech!!

Rows after rows of bookshelves, which looked like any normal bookshelves came to my sight. I slowly and warily walked toward the room.

Then… dozens, hundreds, thousands and tens of thousands voices suddenly rang across the room.

-Please save me, I've already admitted it was my fault! Why did you kill me?

-How could you shamelessly say you want to go back?

-You must die so you could be a help like us!

-You're going to be books, just like us!

[Skill 'Concentration (S)' has been activated.]

With the help of concentration skill, all of those voices instantly disappeared.

"What was that?"

They were terrible voices filled with grudge. I've lived my life looking at all sorts of things in the battlefield, but I've never come across anything like this before.

Somehow I felt chills run down my spine. It was as if I was watching a horror movie alone, or more, like I was left alone in a haunted house.

-It's okay~

If it wasn't for the pot's voice, I would have probably already run away from this room. There wouldn't be a shred of the persona of a 16 years veteran hunter seen in me at that moment.

"You are right, let's go. It'll be okay."

It was a dim path between the rows of bookshelves. There were numerous books lined up without any title written on its cover. It took me almost an hour to walk to the last bookshelf while looking through the books slowly.

Does the time flow at the same pace as the reality? As this world was sustained by using the 'concentration' skill, it was likely that the time of reality would be almost stopped.

-Hey, Magician.

"……..!"

As I walked around, I suddenly realized… All the bookshelves in this room were surrounding me.

'When did this happen?'

In an instance, I took out the ether blade and turned it on. The flower pot who had always been assisting me from the inventory was now sitting on top of my left hand. In this state, she was able to exert more powerful magic spells.

I would love to test her strength, but suddenly, every single book in the bookshelves flew into the sky and began to merge. The combined book turned into the size of a building and started falling in front of me.

[E-Rank library and above was only accessible for true witches.]

[Or those who deserve to be a witch.]

[Are you a witch? If you aren't a witch, do you think you have the qualification to be one?]

"I'm neither. I'll just go in."

[Then take the test.]

[The content is simple.]

[I'm a witch system that manages access to the E-rank Warehouse]

[Beat me, and you shall pass.]

The cover of the building-size book in front of me began to change. A pattern started to appear before me just before the title was engraved

[World Earth.]

"Earth?"

Those questions only lasted for a very brief moment.

The huge room opened up. A white-haired woman in a white dress walked out from it. Even though I had never seen her before, I felt the same energy I had felt from the witches on her. Behind her, the pages of the huge book finally stopped.

[The shepherd boy.]

As soon as the pages stopped, I could feel the space around me starting to distort. I could feel a similar sensation from when I jumped across dimension.

Whiiiiiiiing!

With the cold breeze that blew over me, I found myself on a vast grassland. Some distance away from me, there was a young boy hitting a huge sheep monster several times bigger than himself. Behind him, there were dozens of wolves following him.

"Wait a minute, was the shepherd boy supposed to be like that?"

Without any warning, the boy shouted.

-Wolf! Go bite him!

"What? Shit!"

Kkoong kkoong!

Following his commands, dozens of wolves started running towards me. The flower pot assisted me with some wind magic as I wrapped my mana around the ether blade.

'I don't know what this is all about, but if I beat her, I'm sure everything will be okay!'

But,

Suddenly the world shook, and my body sank to the ground.

No. To be exact, the earth shot up towards me.

"What the hell is this!?"

I swung my ether blade towards the wolves. These wolf monsters level was around E-rank. So I thought killing them would be easy. But suddenly, the snow fell from the sky and within seconds the snow was already piled up to my knee.

[Dog of Flanders.]

The Book title changed. All the wolves were frozen to death and the sheep went on a rampage.

Kuoooooo!!!!

A group of rampaging sheep monsters with '王' characters carved on their belly rushed at me.

-Patrashuuu!!!

"Keuk!'

Koong!

I clenched my teeth as I rolled away to evade the Monster sheep's fist. Its level was about D-rank. It was a level higher than the wolf, but there was nothing particularly special about it.

I jumped and cut off one of the sheep's necks. After that, I landed behind it and rolled away. Using the momentum from the roll, I leaped towards another monster and stabbed it on the chest.

Two sheeps rushed toward me from both sides with their fists clenched. They swung their fist in order to crush me. Thankfully, the pot had already created a foothold for me with her magic. I kicked the foothold and flew high into the sky.

I ran my eyes over the ground quickly. I saw a flock of hundreds of sheep galloping over the snowy fields. I couldn't handle their numbers no matter what method I decided to use.

'If so, I'd rather…..'

The very moment I was about to take some explosives out of my inventory and throw them to the ground, the snow hail stopped and I found myself in a forest.

"What is happening?"

Then, an old woman appeared. No… it wasn't a person, it was something that looked like an old woman.

-You should try some apples.

The old woman offered me an apple, but I thought it would be poisoned, so I moved bacl and killed her with the ether blade.

-Bad bastard! Eat it!

She threw the apple towards me.

'…….!'

I hurriedly rolled to the side. There was an explosion at the spot where the apple landed. It had the same effect as the ether grenades that I used.

I was far away from the bomb. I quickly got up and cut down the old woman.

Clang!

The surrounding area changed into a medieval-style fortress. The fortress was filled with a huge 'nutcracker' that easily reached 5 meters tall.

-Oh it's a walnut! Cut that man's butt off!!

"Oh, N, Noooo."

it's a walnut! Cut that man's butt off!!

"Oh, N, Noooo."

Kung! Kung! Kung!

The Nutcracker started running at a frightening speed towards me. I didn't want to be a sitting duck, so I also rushed towards the Nutcracker. I jumped over one of his arms, and leaped forward from his shoulders to reach the point where the witch stood as she twisted the world.

On the ground, a Nutcracker was swinging his arm to attack me, but it was of no use.

'System! Do something to keep the world from changing again!'

It's impossible.

This space was already a half-mixed between your imaginary and the real worlds.

I can't interfere with your reality.

'What did you say?'

It didn't take long before I started to understand the system's words.

The exact moment when I thought I've caught the witch, the world turned upside down.

And then…

Wooong! Wooong!

A subway train passed by my side.

There were dozens of tall buildings lying sideways in front of it and dozens of cars passing through it. I dodged them by moving sideways, but a huge bus fell from the sky. No, it wasn't simply falling, there was a whole highway stretching up to the sky like a wall.

Something was strange here.

This space was like reality, but there was something that was twisting the sense of space.

In the eyes of the witch, this place is a Five-dimensional real world.

Concentrate, Seodam.

If you're beaten by the witch in this space, part of your mind would become a witch.

'What should I do then? You said you can't meddle with this space.'

Even if this space was space where reality and imaginary world collided, don't forget, this space is your imaginary world.

You can do what the witch does.

'What?'

At that moment.

The E-rank overseer witch tried to change the world once again. It hadn't changed yet, but somehow I was able to feel it.

So, I put strength on my body. That's all I could do right now.

Then, to my surprise, the witch staggered. The space stayed the same. I wasn't transported to another fairytale world.

'I don't know for sure but I'm sure I've done something.'

In the first place, why did I take out the ether blades and grenades in this world?

Why did I try to fight with magic and physical ability in a world full of high-grade magic?

It was a stupid move from me.

I reached out to the air and shook it. The building in front of me tilted in the direction that I wanted it to. Then, I jumped towards it and rode it towards the witch.

Without moving her hands, the witch split the building in two and dropped me to the ground. There was a huge subway tunnel at the bottom, So, my landing aren't as smooth as I hoped it to.

Still, the witch was more powerful than me.

She could control everything that existed in this space freely, but I could only handle the space where my hands were directed.

A huge building fell overhead. But I didn't have to run and avoid it. I could avoid it just by adjusting the direction of the subway.

'Oh, this is surprisingly comfortable!'

I thought like that for a brief moment.

-This is….

-The exit door was on the left.

-If you want to go to Jamsil, Sadang, or Sindorim…

-Please take line 2, at this station…

"Huh?"

Suddenly the subway halted in the air. With buildings still falling towards me. I jumped sideways to avoid it. Looking at the situation, the building and the subway would certainly collide.

In the end…

Kii-ee-ing!

Bam! Bam!

As I climbed the stairs into the air and avoided waves of falling rubbles, I could see the witch building a foothold beneath her to widen the gap between us.

I was also creating more and more footholds and rushed towards the witch.

She controlled all the space around her to get away from me. She could win this fight if I ever felt too tired and missed my foothold.

But did she know?

The fact that the range of space that I could manipulate was very small.

-This station is Express Bus Terminal, Express Bus Terminal Station.

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]l

To the extent that I could turn the direction of something that already moving.

Thuuung!

The subway hit the witch on her side and flung her towards the sky.

[You have acquired the qualification to access the E-rank library.]

The message appeared as if congratulating my success.

"Huh?"

I turned my body as I felt some gaze from my back.

"……!"

Earth. Moscow, Russia.

When the white-haired, transparent-eyed woman awoke from her sleep, a dark-skinned woman who stood right next to her bed, approached her side.

"Miss, did you see any bad prophecy?"

"…No, it's okay."

She was the prophet, Yekaterina. The only prophet on earth. Her 'prophetic' ability manifested not through ether but rather naturally.

The SS-rank superhuman who escorts the Prophet, Alpha looked at Yekaterina with a serious look on her face.

Yekaterina would always wake up in tears. In her dreams she could see the future that no one knew. She was a prophet who always warned the world when she foresaw a terrible future.

'It's dangerous.'

'Don't do it.'

'You shouldn't do it.'

Yekaterina's prophecy was 100 percent sure. She had never been wrong even once, so Alpha was tasked to protect Yekaterina herself by the Hunter association.

"What kind of future did you see this time? Should I call the Prophecy Council right away?"

The Prophecy Council was a group of people who figured out what Yekaterina's dream was about and where it would occur.

But Yekaterina shook her head.

"It's okay. I think the disaster has already been solved."

"Pardon?"

She didn't completely understand, but she knew it was real. There was someone who had already been active in the scourge of prophecy.

'A very terrible future.' It was the most fitting word to describe the disaster in her dreams where all the spaces in the world were twisted and turned upside down.

There were only 2 people standing in such a terrifying disaster. A woman in white dress and a man using an equipment, who she believed to be a Hunter, were fighting each other amidst the disaster.

In the end, the hunter was able to beat the witch who she believed to be the source of the disaster.

'In the last moment, that man clearly looked at me.'

Meeting someone inside a prophetic dream? That was absolutely impossible.

However, He obviously made eye contact with her.

'Maybe….'

She raised her trembling hand and rubbed his face.

'He might know something about this hellish prophetic skill.'

Besides, there were some books other than grimoires stored here.

[Witch's will]

"What the hell is this?"

There were quite a few books that recorded the history of witches and their abilities.

-I like this~

"Are you that happy?"

-Eung!! [E/N: It means yes but in an excited way I guess]𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝𝕦𝕤𝕓.𝕔𝕠𝑀

I had a hunch that this pot would read all the books here.

It would be a waste to just exit this place now after all of those struggles. So, I decided to walk around a little bit more.

"Th,this is…."

And I was shocked.

The F-rank library was really just a preview. The magic books stored here were far more superior than the magic books stored in Vivienda academy library.

"I can't believe such magic existed."

I read book after book without knowing how much time has passed. Suddenly, I found a book with a strange title.

[About Witch's Succession]

"What is this?"

Witches, together with dragons, were creatures that created a wisdom called 'magic'. They spread the books of their wisdom for their successor.

[Rarely, Very rarely, witches would have descendants.]

[In case they left some descendants, usually it was because of necessity.]

[Because they found the need to share 'love'.]

[And they feel the need to deliver something to their descendants.]

[So the witch…..]

I skipped over some useless information. In the first place, I didn't want to read this entire book. As I was flipping the pages, I suddenly found something interesting and stopped.

[The power of prophecy would be given to the most accomplished witch amongst all.]

[But there was one side effect for those who bore the power of prophecy.]

[They wouldn't be able to use other magic.]

[In exchange for being able to see the future in a clumsy way, the witch who bears the power of prophecy has to rely on others for the rest of her life. They'll also lose both their sight and mana.]

"Prophecy, huh?"

It was a very interesting story.

Come to think of it, I heard that there was a Prophet on Earth. Of course, I can't conclude that the prophet is a witch yet. I don't even know the Prophet's gender.

There were so many myths about prophecies. There was a myth in Northern Europe which said it was possible to see the future three seconds later by digging one's eyeball. I couldn't help but be interested.

Since then, I've been reading for a long time about the succession of the witch. And after that book, I picked up another book and read it. I read everything regardless of whether it was a magic book or a witch's history.

I fell into a trance, I didn't feel the time that was passing. Also, I didn't realize that the flower pot was walking around next to me and read books on her own.

"Are you going back now?"

"Yes."

It had been three months since I stayed on the Rostislav continent. [T/N: hello author-nim, by our calculation it was around 3 years tho….]

I had fully learned Misclean's teachings.

I was now able to use both Sword and magic efficiently. It was a very rewarding three months.

"I see. So, are you going home?"

"Yes."

"I'm just curious, but where is your hometown?"

"Well, It's very far away."

"Yes. I see."

Misclean smiled coolly. I didn't know at first, but she was very good at smiling. She looked cold on the outside because she was not sociable, but when we became close she became very warm.

"I'll have to go on a trip, too."

"Where are you going?"

"My level has risen, so I'm going to crush all the men who were threatening me."

It wasn't easy to climb higher when you are already a fairly high-level warrior. By the way, Misclean was involved with the main character and the 'Correction' was influencing her path to some extent. She was also a very competent person who could make good use of it.

Her newly acquired skill, 'Redistribution' would boost Misclean's ability by a notch.

She tied a long sword to her back and slapped me on the shoulder.

"You've learned my swordsmanship, so don't go around and get beaten."

"Don't worry, that won't happen."

We looked at each other for a few seconds more before turning our backs and set off on our own way.

Misclean would wander around the world to find other strong men.

And I would go back to earth.

[Returning to earth.]

[The world's time distribution is back to normal.]

When I opened my eyes, I was already back in my room. I looked around to find someone for a brief moment, but unfortunately I couldn't find anyone.

When I took out my smartphone and checked the news, Taylor Nine was escorting 'Heloni', a world star as well as a pop goddess.

[Taylor: Hey, you little punk, Heloni will perform in Korea soon!! LOL]

[Taylor: Going to Korea soon…]

"Heloni, huh?'

Suddenly the thought of her flashed through my mind. She had quit being a Hunter on her own volition and I didn't mean to say anything about it. Your future is for you to decide. It was selfish to blame others for leaving Hunter's path just because my dream remained in the Hunter industry.

Let's change the status message on the messenger to 'End of Dispatch' first and get in touch with a few people.

Ping!

Someone contacted me.

[Wi-Hoon: Seodam, Long time no see. Why haven't you been in touch with me lately? Haha. I've been thinking of you lately. I'm in Korea now. Shall we meet for a cup of coffee?]

Wi-hoon. I frowned as soon as I saw the name. He was the dirtiest amongst the eight members who awakened as Hunter at the same time with me.

To be exact. That bastard Wi-Hoon, he abandoned me.

'I heard he had retired and ran a business somewhere.'

His business with me was probably related to guild or something along those lines. I guess he's interested in my name which keeps rising lately.

Is human psychology true even beyond the digital screen? Even if he pretended to be calm, there was something urgent with his words. Recently, it seemed that his business was not going well and he was desperate enough to contact me.

I read it once again before sliding to another message. It was a message from Ryu Jin-soo. Ryu Jin-soo is also one of the eight members.

Unlike Wi Hoon, Ryu Jin-soo was a good friend who often visited Korea together with Taylor when I was in hospital. Ryu Jin-soo had taken care of me, who had no superpowers, as if I was a treasure trove. Until now, I was still a little distant because I was uncomfortable with his kindness.

[Ryu Jin-soo: Seodam. Let's meet for a cup of coffee soon.]

[Ryu Jin-soo: It's okay to decline if you are busy.]

Ryu Jin-soo owned a small guild, but he was quite well-known as a master of quite famous hunters.

But more importantly, the relationship between Ryu Jin-soo and Wi-hoon was very bad.

I stroked my chin thinking of the fact. They both ran guilds, so I think maybe there's something to help my guild.

[Yoo Seodam-Wihoon: Sure, let's meet.]

[Yoo Seo-dam-Ryu Jin-soo: I'm not busy. When shall we meet?]

So, I contacted both of them.

"Why can't I go out!"

When Yekaterina shouted, Alpha, the SS-rank superhuman stepped back.

However, the woman who blocked Yekaterina's way only smiled with her eyes closed.

"Terina. We, Earthlings, need your power. You're the only one who can foresee the disaster that will befall earth. If you can't see the future disaster while you're away for a moment, what will happen?"

Yekaterina clenched her fist in frustration when she heard Alpha's words.

She knew those words were nothing but lies.

They were using her power to solidify their own position, sweeping away both money and honor. They also threatened the entire world by saying earth couldn't be safe without their help.

In fact, even without prophecy, the world was going well.

Out of 100 prophecies, humanity could stop 99 of them.

Yekaterina slowly raised her head.

She could see 'Amulet' scattered everywhere around the room. Those amulets weren't a product of science nor superpowers. It was an item crafted by 'magic' that was not disclosed to the world at all. The woman in front of her was also one of the amulets users.

Because of that… she couldn't go out because of that kind of amulet.

'I, if it's my strength. That's the kind of thing you're going to do.'

Obviously in her head she had the power, knowledge, and driving force to tear that shallow and crude talisman, but her body couldn't do it. Yekaterina couldn't understand it herself.

Why couldn't she use magic like 'them'?

Why couldn't they see the future, like her?

There was nothing to know.

"Yekaterina, so go back. You have so much to do for the world."

It was perfect control. She didn't have any access to the outside world through TV, radio, newspaper, cell phone whatsoever.

'Am I a prophecy machine that's stuck in a cold corner of Moscow?'

Alpha held her shoulder slightly, but Yekaterina shook off the touch and returned to her room. Even though the snow was not visible, this space of about 100 pyeong was well known because it was now over 30 years old.

Thumped into the chair, Yekaterina, seated, stretched her hand slowly.

The piano handed down by her father, who was no longer able to play on the last day of the day when she had gained the power of prophecy and lost all her sight, was clearly placed on her fingertips.

She tried to press the keyboard, but there was no more beautiful noise coming from it. In exchange for the power of prophecy, she could no longer feel the beauty of music.

In exchange for the power of prophecy, Yekaterina lost so much.

She returned to her bed, she hugged her knees and poked her head in.

She fell asleep as she was, and she dreamed.

Today, again, she had a nightmare.

Chapter 63 – Great principles of harem

When you worked as a hunter, it was inevitable for your identity to be exposed to the public. Nowadays, Hunters were treated as a celebrity, but in the past, there were quite a few Hunters who were reluctant to disclose their real name because there were quite a lot of Villain Hunters who hunted Hunters who misused their supernatural powers.

Wi-Hoon, a 16 years old (?) Veteran hunter, was a Chinese ex-hunter who used a pseudonym. He possessed an A-rank superpower, and he's also the guild master of Silingwin guild.

He turned into a businessman after retiring from hunter world 8 years ago. These days, where there was an implicit rule that stated that a guild master must be an incumbent hunter, his position as a retired hunter had put him in a disadvantageous position. He was a man who successfully overcame those hurdles by leading the guild through operations and strategies.

Although it was ruined.

In the past his guild had more than 100 hunters, but now there were only about 20 hunters left. But, unfortunately for Wi-hoon, those 20 hunters did not trust him. It was only a matter of time before they left the guild.

The fire broke out on his feet.

A guild which had hunters working for them was similar to a private military company. The documents they had to fill out to create the guild were as tall as adult men, and even if they got an approval, who knew how long they had to run to increase the maximum capacity of the guilds.

Everything he tried so far was going to come to naught. The maximum capacity of the Silingwin guild was 150 people, which was equivalent to a medium-sized guild. But, as the number of hunters contracted to the guild kept decreasing, the pressure to reduce the maximum capacity of the guild had begun.

Investors from Silingwin Guild were also slowly beginning to criticize him by holding a shareholder's meeting. Wi-hoon finally realized that the Silingwin guild might disappear altogether.

He could never let that happen.

He would like to get his Hunter's card reissued. But it was already too late now and his pride wouldn't allow it too.

At that time, he heard news from Korea.

'Yoo Seodam…'

He had an ability that was not a superpower. It was an ability that could be learned by incompetent people. Currently, the news of him and his ability was taking the world by storm.

So Wi-hoon immediately contacted Yoo seodam.

Wi-hoon knew Yoo Seodam's character. Before he retired from being a Hunter, he spent eight years with Yoo Seodam.

Among the eight hunters, Wi-hoon's talent could be considered among the weakest. It was a clumsy manifestation of superpowers.

The type of his ability was common. It was hard for him to get some attention. Moreover, he was bad at fighting.

However, he always found comfort when he looked at one boy. That boy was Yoo Seodam, a loser without superpowers.

Perhaps due to the fact that Wi-hoon was able to strengthen his body, he used to torment Seodam whenever he had time. Whenever that happened, Seodam neither resisted nor retorted. In his memory, Yoo Seodam was just an incompetent with such a personality.

At least he hoped that Yoo Seodam would be afraid of him. Afterall, Yoo Seodam was someone who handed over the last piece of meat he was eating when Wi-hoon demanded him to.

Of course, there was no way he would remain such a fool even now. Perhaps by now, people from all over the world were trying to get Yoo Seodam to their side. They would come to him with a lot of things to offer. But compared to what he had to offer, it was insignificant.

Wi-hoon didn't want Seodam to demand him to say sorry. So, he came up with something only he could give.

It was the 'things' that Yoo Seodam lost eight years ago.

He was going to present a secret that no one but himself had known so far.

"Please wait a little bit. He said he'll be here soon."

And so, Wi-hoon was now in Korea to meet Yoo Seodam. Next to him, there were three representatives from companies that sponsored guilds and also representatives from the Hunter Association.

Lee Hyun-sang, a representative

from 'Cage Industries.' A company that was involved in the defense industry by producing Hunter's weapons.

Then there was a representative from 'Reger', the leading producer of Hunter's armor and other equipment.

An agency that asked for Gates and Dungeons where Hunter could act, 'Antena dotcom'.

And 'Hunter's Association Headquarters' that came to judge the Guild's eligibility.

All of these companies were global companies that couldn't be taken lightly.

In order for a Hunter to be active, it was imperative for him to come in contact with defense industries and bizarre companies that supported high-quality equipment, and a good agency that identified Gates and Dungeons faster than anyone else and arranged the most appropriate 'work' for the guild to operate.

On top of that, the Hunter's Association headquarters was reviewing whether to scale down the guild, increase it, or eliminate the guild.

'This is the chance!'

The reason why the representative followed Wi-hoon to Korea was because they are also very interested in the existence of 'ideal ability.' If he could get Yoo Seodam to join his guild, his future would be set.

"Oh, there he is."

Their current location was a restaurant in a hotel. Yoo Seodam arrived wearing the suit he had received from Celeste the other day. It was luxurious in its own way, but he felt awkward because he didn't wear it often

"Ha ha, Seodam, it's been a while."

"Right, It's been a while."

Yoo Seodam stared at Wi-hoon. He thought for a moment that Wi-hoon was a good-looking man with a brazen face.

'This bastard… Doesn't he remember that he retired after betraying me?'

'This bastard… Doesn't he remember that he retired after betraying me?'

Yoo Seodam kept his expression under control. It was because the four people who came with Wi-hoon were more important.

'Hwang Jae-gun.'

Originally, Yoo Seodam was going to meet Wi-hoon and give him a good scolding. But now he could see that he contacted him to appease himself. But the plan had changed.

Wi-hoon was much better off than Seodam originally thought. He was still useful.

Yoo Seodam grinned and brazenly said to Wi-hoon.

"That's right. I told you I'd bring a guest, too, right?"

"Oh? Uh, of course. But who…?"

"There he is…"

As Seodam looked behind him, a handsome man who was nearly 190 centimeters tall and handsome approached him with a soft smile. When he found Wi-hoon, the man waved lightly and asked the other four to shake hands politely. Then he said.

"Wi-hoon. It's been a long time since we last met. I've missed you."

"Right, How many years has it been? Ryu Jin-soo."

Ryu Jin-soo. A man, who like Wi-hoo, began to walk the path of a Guild Master. He was also a Guild Master and a retired hunter just like Wi-hoon.

However, the two had different walking routes.

While Wi-hoon was walking towards the abyss, Ryu Jin-soo's guild was getting more and more worthy of its name.

Ryu Jin-soo's guild, 'Leyton One', was a guild consisting of a small number of elite people, and was characterized by his participation in big dungeons and Gates without taking on petty duties.

"Oh. Aren't you the master of Leyton one? I really wanted to meet you."

"Nice to meet you."

When Ryu Jin-soo appeared, Wei-hoon's face gradually hardened. He glanced at the Yoo Seodam. He didn't have to talk to him to find out what's on his mind.

'This bastard, he's trying to screw me up, me?'

Ryu Jin-soo and Wi-hoon were not on good terms. In fact, Wi-hoon hated Ryu Jin-soo one sidedly. The reason was simple. Ryu Jin-soo was superior to him in every aspect. Their guild situation itself may be similar, but all 20 guild members belonging to Ryu Jin-soo's guild Layton One were S-rankers, and he was also a S-rank superhuman.

And, unlike other guilds today, which were a kind of commercialized, Leyton One was in the spotlight around the world because it was a guild that maintained the 'traditional' approach of protecting.

Ryu Jin-soo was a master of a winning guild, while Wi-hoon was a master of a losing guild.

So, Wi-hon was constantly jealous of Ryu Jin-soo.

'Why the hell did he get attached to Yoo Seodam?'

Wi-hon gritted his teeth and looked at Ryu Jin-soo.

At first glance, Ryu Jin-soo may seem friendly to everyone because he had a soft impression and gentle way of speaking. However, he was the coolest hunter and businessman ever.

However, Ryu Jin-soo had been taking care of Yoo Seodam since long ago, even when everyone told him there was no 'benefit' in doing so. Yoo Seodam himself seemed very reluctant to receive his favor as if he knew something. But, the important thing right now was the fact that Ryu Jin-soo was also here.

And, the most serious problem was that with the appearance of Ryu Jin-soo, the master of Leyton One who wasn't sponsored by any company, it made the business agent pay extra attention to him.

'No. I don't care about that. As long as I could somehow bring Yoo Seodam to my guild….'

Then, Yoo Seodam opened his mouth.

"Haha, yes. Actually, I've created a temporary guild. And in the future, I'm thinking of creating a guild."

Everyone fell silent at his words..

The creation of the guild was a sensitive issue. Even Wi-hoon glanced at him in bewilderment, but the agent dispatched from the headquarters of the Hunter's Association told him with a cool look.

"As Yoo Seodam Hunter-nim knows, to establish a guild, you need at least three teams and 15 guild members. In addition, one of the teams must be able to carry C-rank missions or above."

Conditions flowed out of the mouths of the Association's representative. Guilds were now a group of supermen who possessed the power of arms, and were bound to be a very sensitive issue.

And then, Ryu Jin-soo opened his mouth.

"Yes. That's why I'm thinking of joining our guild."

"You mean a Union?"

It was an unfamiliar word these days. But in the past, before guilds became a corporation, when Hunters existed purely for the purpose of forming a team, there existed a 'union', a way for two guilds to become one and perform a mission together.

Wi-hoon trembled.

Yes. Regardless of whether Ryu Jin-soo had shown favor to Yoo Seodam so far, what he did right now was simply a favor to a man named Yoo Seo-dam. There was no way a cold businessman like Ryu jin-soo would come here for nothing. All of them came here because there was a profit they could get.

'Don't tell me, you've been planning for this since the beginning?'

Wi-hoon looked at Yoo Seodam. However, Yoo Seodam didn't even care about him. He was busy having a conversation with the five people here.

Wi-hoon was sure that Yoo Seodam knew that he came to recruit him to his guild. But Yoo Seodam still came to take advantage of him.

'You son of a gun…"

Wi-hoon didn't like the fact that Yoo Seodam, who had been incompetent all of his life, was standing proudly because of his ability. When Wi-hoon clenched his teeth tighter, Ryu Jin-soo looked at him and said.

"What's the matter? Wi-hoon. You don't look very well."

"…..!"

It was a question out of pure goodwill. That man, who was always cool and sharp, had boundless warmth to those who come within his 'boundary'. And, Wi-hoon was also within the confines of that Ryu Jin-soo.

The reason for it was.

'Nana, in your eyes, Yoo Seodam was someone to be protected, right?'

Ryu Jin-soo was a S-rank Superhuman while Yoo Seodam was an incompetent. In his mind, it was natural, because he had achieved even the A-rank recently. So he felt even more disgusted.

"Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom."

He couldn't reveal his emotion. Things are going bad here but he believes there will be a way somehow.

As Wi-hoon rose from his seat, Seodam, who was staring at his back, smiled and followed him.

"Let me go to the bathroom, too."

Chapter 64 – The great principle of harem 2.1

Wi-hoon organized his thoughts as he washed his hands. His plans were all tangled up like a paper doodled by a kid. Naturally, he couldn't stop anger from eroding his mind.

"What are you doing here? Do you need to poop?"

"…..!"

Behind him, Yoo Seodam, who followed him to the bathroom, was smiling at him.

"Yoo Seodam…"

"You, didn't you come to Korea because you want to recruit me into your guild?"

"You know about it, yet you created such a situation?"

"Why?" Yoo Seodam asked. His face was unreadable.

"If you don't like it, why don't you make a better offer than Ryu Jin-soo? When I said to him that I want to make my own guild, Ryu Jin-soo decided to join forces with me. Oh, now that I think about it, your guild can't unite, can it? After all, it's a corporate guild not a traditional guild."

As I said, Guild Union was not something that any Guild Master could do. Only a small number of guilds that still maintained the traditional way of management could do it.

"Tell me."

"Tell you what?"

"If you come to recruit me, I'm sure you have something to offer me. Don't tell me, you planned to threaten me like you used to?"

At that remark, Wi-hoon gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you want to know?"

"About what?"

"Why Reyna Ju died eight years ago."

"…!!!"

Yoo Seodam's expression instantly stiffened when he heard the name that came out from Wi-hoon's mouth. Reyna Ju. She was an unfortunate girl who became a hunter at the same time as Yoo Seodam. But 8 years ago, she passed away.

"You…"

"You are dying to know, aren't you?"

Reyna Ju, she was the only weakness that Yoo Seodam had.

"You, Taylor, and her used to hang together every day."

Wi-hoon hoped that Yoo Seodam would be agitated and shaken up by this story. So, he spoke with even more fervor than before.

"As I expected, you really know the reason…"

"What?"

Yoo Seodam's response was out of Wi-hoon's expectations. His heart sank at that moment. He realized something had gone wrong.

Wi-Hoon looked at Yoo Seodam's face again once again. His face didn't have any ripple of emotion. His eyes were as tranquil as a lake.

"Do you have any other offer?"

"….."

The story that Wi-hoon brought wasn't so important for Yoo Seodam. But he felt that something was off when Wi-hoon easily talked about the incident 8 years ago.

Wi-hoon told Yoo Seodam everything that he knew. When Wi-hoon finished speaking, Yoo Seodam couldn't help but laugh.

"Interesting."

"What?"

"I was actually curious. Curious about the day you retired being a Hunter eight years ago. About Reyna's death, and also, about how much you know about those who betrayed us."

"That's…"

"That's why I'm here. To ask you about it."

However, there was no need to ask.

"There's no way I'll take up that offer…"

Yoo seodam said that under his breath…

"What a pity Wi-hoon."

"What do you mean?"𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝𝕦𝕤𝕓.𝕔𝕠𝑚

After Yoo Seodam said so, he turned around and left the bathroom.

Wi-hoon clearly remembered his expression.

It wasn't his usual pathetic look nor a disappointed look. It was just a serene look on his face that he had been looking at for 16 years.

'No way, he has been looking at me like that for 16 years.'

When Wi-hoon realized it, Yoo Seodam had already walked away.

After finishing the talks with both representatives from 3 Companies and Hunter's Association headquarters brought by Wi-hoon, my steps became lighter.

They were necessary to me. The creation of the guild basically needed a huge amount of money. The biggest expense was from buying equipments.

Most guilds put the condition of providing equipments to the Hunters they recruited. But, I didn't really need to do the same as them. My guild already had swordsmanship and magic to offer. But wouldn't it be icing on the cake if I could still get the equipments on top of swordsmanship and magic?

Although the sponsor contract hasn't been signed yet, all of them gave a pretty positive response. My guild is slowly getting on the right track.

Ping!

On my way home, a message came on my phone.

[Guildmaster bastard: Yoo Seodam.]

[Guildmaster bastard: Can we talk?]

"Huh, what's wrong with this bastard?"

It was a message from Lost Day's guildmaster. A man with a high position like him contacted me directly. Somehow, I felt bitter. Back in the days when I was only a F-Rank incompetent hunter, I felt like I was used like a disposable chopstick. But now they were contacting me because I had gained this ability. In the end, we can't do anything without our gift and ability.

[Block]

After roughly pressing the button, I leaned on the back seat of the taxi.

I felt like I would instantly fall asleep the moment I laid on my bed.

But then,

Peep, peep, peep!

A siren rung outside.

-Emergency disaster alert!

-Currently, a SS-rank gate has appeared near Cheongdam-dong. Civilians should evacuate immediately!

-We repeat once again!

-Currently, a SS-rank gate has appeared near Cheongdam-dong.

Screech.

The taxi pulled over into the shoulder of the road.

"I, I'm sorry, young man. Please get off, I think a gate has appeared."

"Ah. Yes."

I can't help it. The taxi driver was an ordinary citizen, and in the event of a gate crisis, he'd be the first to take his car and evacuate his family. After getting out of the car, I looked where the gate was open.

'SS-class?'

It was so out of the blue that I had nothing to say.

Of course, it was not like that the SS-rank gate had never happened. But at that time, most of those Gates had a forewarning. This was so that the hunters would have enough preparation to respond. It was strange that no one got any words of warning.

I thought something was wrong, so I took out the ether blade out of the inventory and tried to run there, but then I saw the shape of a giant monster in the distance.

Crazy. It's really big.

Can I fight that monster? Such a thought came to my mind.

Slash!

…Thud!

The monster's head was cut off and fell to the ground.

"Huh?"

Shortly after, I could hear a helicopter sound far away.

Tududududududu!!

Broadcasting stations and military helicopters were rushing in, but they were already late. They missed the most important scene.

"Crazy! What the hell is happening?"

When a monster appeared from an SS-rank dungeon, the raid was only possible when there were 10 teams consisting of 10 S-rank hunters each.

Who the hell did that with a single slash….

'Don't tell me?'

I can feel protagonist's presence nearby.

The one and only protagonist of earth, Lee Dong-joon

Seodam hurried up to the roof of the building and looked at the scene, but the man who killed the monster had already disappeared. Furthermore, the monster also appeared behind a bridge that blocked his view, leaving no witnesses to see who cut it off.

'He said he had to hide his strength. Why did he do this?'

If he killed the monster like this, didn't that mean that the Murim people nearby would have seen it?

I watched the scene carefully. There, a woman who seemed to be an office worker was lying on her seat and stared blankly into the air. Maybe she was the victim of the gate. I tried to approach her just in case she witnessed it, but I couldn't because the police and soldiers who had already approached her.

I had no choice but to turn my back and go home.

And the very next day..

"What's your relationship with Supreme Dharma?"

A woman called 'Geom-hee' came to my house.

"The Three Emperors and the Cheonma were all killed by Dharma."

The teacup in front of the Seodam was not shaken by her outspoken words. Geom-hee sipped the tea before saying 'Uh, it's not good' and spoke once again.

"And people from Earth took over the place of the new Cheonma and 3 kings and 6 Emperors. It was all to fight against the overwhelming power of Dharma."

However, the ten masters called Cheonma and 3 kings and 6 Emperors, did not cooperate with each other.

That's what Geom-hee said.

"Hey, but why did you suddenly come to see me?"

Geom-hee, Ha Sun-young.

In terms of Korean age, people who looked like they were in their late 20s, have lived in Murim for several decades. Whatever rejuvenation technique she used, her appearance was that of someone in late teens or early 20s.

"I'm looking for 'Dharma' The one who forced all of us into a ban when we returned to Earth. There's no way to find him because he'd even change his face and hide his inner ki thoroughly. I've been living in Korea recently, and I even found out that he has a close relationship with you."

After saying so, Geom-hee blurted out the ends of her words. In fact, she had no grudge against Dharma. It was more like she fell in love with him at the first sight.

"Why are you looking for 'Dharma'?

"Isn't that obvious? I….li……ked him? What is it?"

She must have liked him.

Maybe that feeling still somehow remained somewhere inside her heart.

She traveled all over the world to find Dharma. She did that because of her longing towards Dharma.

She was sure that was the reason.

'What?'

Geom-hee stroked her chest.

Until just a moment ago, it was difficult for her to calm down whenever she thought of Dharma. But strangely, she was completely calm now.

'Did I really fell for him?'

But why did she fall in love?

Was it because of his overwhelming strength?

Because of his charismatic back?

Or because he was so handsome?

No. She fell in love with him as soon as they made eye contact.

'Why?'

A strong warrior could control their own mind. In other words, one can hardly fall in love with someone as soon as they saw someone.

But it was like this.

As if she was forced to be attracted to him.

Suddenly, Ha Sun-young looked up and looked into Yoo Seodam's eyes.

She asked him a question.

"…..Why did I search for him?"

"Huh? What are you.."

In Seodam's mind, a new message has arrived.

[Protagonist hunter Lv. 3 has interfered with protagonist Lee Dong-joon's 'Protagonist Correction'.]

[Supporting Character Ha Sun-young has been freed from the influence of 'Charm(SS)']

Ha Sun-young took her hand off her chest.

He looks at the Yoo Seodam. It wasn't like she fell in love with him or found his face to her liking. But for some reason, she felt as if something 'uncomfortable' had been lifted from her heart when she was together with Yoo Seodam

The message that appeared in front of Seodam at that time.

Ding!

['Frustration' occurs to the protagonist, Lee Dong-Joon.]

"Huh? He's frustrated, all of the sudden?"

Yoo Seodam was surprised for a moment.

Something more amazing had happened.

[Protagonist Lee Dong-joon ignores his frustration.]

"Huh…"

Only then did Seodam realized roughly what had happened.

So far, he ignored it because he was busy fighting, but most of the male characters who had '#Harem' tag had several women around him. By the way, do you think the male character would have seduced them one by one?

Of course, there must be such a protagonist. But the most popular and trendy Harem trope in the last few years was a scenario when the girls fell in love 'at the first sight' with the protagonist.

And Ha Sun-young in front of him was one of the victims of Lee dong-joon 'love at first sight' Harem trope.

However, the moment Yoo Seodam intervened, the possibility of such nonsense had reduced. Of course it wouldn't work for anyone. Geom-hee or Ha Sun-young were quite talented, and she must have the power to resist the charm-related skill to a certain extent. Yoo Seodam's presence was only boosting her skill effect.

'Wait, isn't this…?'

Most of the people around Lee Dong-joon were women. Perhaps it was influenced by Protagonist 'Correction' or the #Harem tag. Although Lee Dong-joon himself remained indifferent to such women…

'I could use this.'

Chapter 65 – The great principle of harem.

Yoo Seodam didn't miss his chance when he saw Ha Sun-young was still in a state of shock.

"Calm down, Miss Ha Sun-young."

"Uh, uh yeah. Yeah."

"Your opinion about Dharma has changed, right? And you're very confused right now, aren't you?"

"How did you know?"

When she asked in embarrassment, Yoo Seodam replied in a calm tone.

"Miss Ha Sun-young, would you believe me if I said that there's an ability that can force a person to fall in love with you?"

"That kind of ability can't exist in the world."

"Are you really sure? There are tens of thousands of people on earth who crossed over to Murim and learned Mugong. There are even hunters who can shoot beams out of their hands. Isn't it a world where it's harder to find something that isn't realistic?"𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝𝕦𝕤𝕓.𝕔𝕠𝑚

"That's…. correct."

Sun-young pondered for a while and then looked at me carefully.

"Doesn't that mean… No way.."

"Yes. It's one of Dharma's abilities. And I can erase it."

"…..!"

It was really hard to believe. Ha Sun-young grabbed her head and shook it.

She spent years trying to find Dharma. It was because of her love for Dharma. But how confusing would it be to have only grudges left after her love melted like snow?

She doubted herself and felt a sense of betrayal towards the Dharma

Yoo Seodam got another chance here.

"If he wanted to exploit this ability, he could have taken everything his target had. Property, power, and even her body, along with the woman's mind."

"Ah…"

Of course, what Yoo seodam said wasn't entirely true.

[Charm(SS): Opposite sex will naturally fall in love with you. If you try to use this power to satisfy your purpose and pleasure, the effect will disappear.]

It was also one of the main characters' cliches.

It was a law that a male protagonist always had several women around him. But, he must not know or care about them. In other words, they do not return the woman's heart. In many ways, this part is also quite awful.

Of course, not every harem in the world was unreasonable. There must be some stories with a decent harem story, but most of them were like this.

Ha Sun-young closed her mouth and began to worry. Yoo Seodam didn't open his mouth any more. From here on out, it was a problem where she had to worry about and make up her mind.

Soon, Ha Sun-young asked me with a firm expression.

"You, you know who Dharma is, don't you?"

"Roughly."

"I want to find Dharma."

"For the same reason as before?"

"No."

I'm not sure but

Ha Sun-young bit her bottom lip tightly. Unlike her nickname 'Geom-hee', she had a quite small stature and young appearances, but there's a very hideous leak out from her body. Which was not good for the situation.

"I'm going to meet Dharma and ask if he really has that ability? Did he play with my heart?"

"Oh.."

If she does that, Geom-hee might lose her neck.

"That's not possible. Instead, I can show you the evidence."

Last night, a gate was opened in the middle of downtown Seoul, and a SS-rank monster appeared from the gate.

Thankfully, the victim count was zero. It was said that a man named Hong Yeop-sa, a reclusive hunter, came and handled it. Numerous guilds, media outlets and netizens came to the scene to confirm the existence of Hong Yeop-sa, which was all shrouded in mystery, but they couldn't find anything.

Except for 'Ye Sa-hye', a hunting support student who happened to be standing there, there were no other witnesses.

"You really don't remember anything?"

"Yes.."

Ye Sa-hye was completely into the man who saved her last night, but she could not tell his face or name. So there was nothing to answer for the police interrogation. The police shook their heads as if they were frustrated but couldn't help it.

The mysterious hunter Hong Yeop-sa. The man, who started working a few years ago, quietly dealt with the difficult situation and then disappeared. The police had to admit that he could no longer be chased by the police technology alone.

"Oh, she's completely in love, too."

"Is he that handsome?"

"Don't mention it. She said his face was way better than any celebrity."

Puk!

"Keuk!"

"Keuk!"

As detectives whispering behind the scenes, Captain Kim hit them five times on the head.

"You idiots. You don't even know his face. How do you know that he's handsome? Aren't you guys busy?"

"Yes!"

"We are going captain.!"

Watching them disappear quickly, Captain Kim approached Ye Sa-hye.

"Miss Sa-hye. You really don't remember?"

"I'm going crazy because I want to remember. I want to find it, but I can't."

"Oh, I see."

Judging that it was no longer necessary to hold onto Ye Sa-hye more, Kim asked her a few pre-functionary questions as instructed and then let her go.

Ye Sa-hye, who came out of the police station, kept remembering last night's dreamlike events.

His side, which was softly reflected in the moonlight, was literally like a prince charming on a white horse.

"Excuse me."

When she thought about it again, he seemed a little bit too much to be real.

Ye Sa-hye became even more embarrassed when suddenly, her heart suddenly calmed down and the flowers that filled her head disappeared.

"Excuse me?"

"Yes, yes?"

Surprised by being called out suddenly, Ye Sa-hye looked to the side. She found a young woman with a cute face and a man who she seemed to have seen somewhere.

"Are you Ye Sa-hye, who met Hong Yeop-sa last night?"

Chapter 65 – The Great principle of harem 3.2

Ye Sa-hye became even more embarrassed when suddenly, her heart calmed down and the flowers that filled her head disappeared.

"Excuse me?"

"Yes, yes?"

Surprised by being called out suddenly, Ye Sa-hye looked to the side. She found a young woman with a cute face and a man who she seemed to have seen somewhere.

"Are you Ye Sa-hye, who met Hong Yeop-sa last night?"

"Oh, yes."

When Ye Sa-hye expression hardened, Yoo Seodam shook his hand to make her not misunderstand their intentions.

"We want to talk to you about…"

He spoke to Ye Sa-hye in a very small yet careful voice.

"I can make you meet Hong Yeop-sa. What do you say? Do you want to go right now?"

"Yes? Really?"

"Yes, but it's now or never. There won't be another chance."

Ye Sa-hye, who fell in love with Hong Yeop-sa, would naturally nod her head here. However, for some reason, Ye Sa-hye's heart had calmed down, and some pretty realistic worries sprouted in her mind.

"Uh, but… I have to submit something urgently to the school. Can we go a little later?"𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝𝕦𝕤𝕓.𝕔𝕠𝑀

At her answer Yoo Seodam smiled.

'As expected.'

For Ha Sun-young and Yoo Seo-dam, who watched Ye Sa-hye from inside the police station. It was easy to see that she had a crush on Hong Yeop-sa.

But looking at her reaction now, wasn't it totally different?

It was a common cliché to fall in love with someone who saved you. Some people easily mistake their emotions when they are in a precarious situation.

But Hong Yeop-sa, or Lee Dong-joon, was a little too much.

There had been so many crises in recent years, and there were always women in those places, and all the women would fall in love with him. It would be okay if Lee Dong-joon was incredibly handsome. But that wasn't the case.

In other words, since the crisis itself was created by his charm skill and Protagonist correction, it meant that everything in the women's minds was not real.

'Maybe most of the women around Lee Dong-joon are tied up due to the effect of his charm skill.'

His daughter, Shin Hye-ji, seemed to stick with him because she had a real bond with him. Yoo Seodam was sure that his guess was on point. While thinking so, Yoo Seodam looked at his side.

Ha Sun-young pupils were visibly shaking. She was shocked to see another woman being freed from the charm influence right in front of her eyes.

"It doesn't make any sense…"

Ha Sun-young clenched her fist tightly. Now she was sure, and the feeling of love was now replaced with resentment.

But it was not the time yet.

"Calm down, you know you can't do it alone."

"I know, but what can I do? But the people from Murim must pay back the grudge they received."

"Miss Ha Sun-young."

Yoo Seodam grabbed her shoulders and looked into her eyes.

"There are many people who have grudges against Dharma besides you."

"One's grudge must be resolved by themselves…"

"When Cheonma died, did she go alone? Or did all warriors from Murim come out?"

"······!"

"I think the current situation is similar to what happened at Murim at that time. So, let your anger go away now."

"Then…"

Ha Sun-young looked at Yoo Seodam as firmly as she could.

"What the hell do I need to do?"

"We need to work together. Search the world for those who have a grudge against Dharma. It would be better if we could find the 3 kings and 6 emperors as well as Cheonma who also has a grudge against Dharma."

"You are right."

Yoo seodam wasn't aware of those facts, then, he continued, thinking he had obtained good information.

"Just like how the government doesn't involve itself in matters concerning Murim I am also thinking of remaining neutral."

We're going to block the fire that might happen in the future.

"But Ha Sun-young, I want you to help me in 'business' way."

"What's the meaning of this 'business'?"

"Do you know that I'm creating a guild?"

"Oh, yes. So what?"

"Come into my guild. I'd like to hire you."

"Why? I can't do anything because of the ban."

Seodam was also concerned about that part. However, he was someone who could freely travel around dimension, so he thought there would be some knowledge related to the ban. Yoo Seodam was willing to go through that hardship for someone as talented as Geom-hee. (T/N : Geom-hee also means Sword princess. Which one did u guys prefer?)

"I'll take care of the ban as soon as possible."

"The ban?"

"Yes. I will help you remove the ban and set the stage for your revenge. But I want you to lend me your strength and knowledge."

This was their trade. In fact, Seodam gained more than Ha Sun-young, but it would be a waste for Ha Sun-young, who was tied to the ban, to refuse.

Ha Sun-young, who had been agonizing for a while, finally nodded. Yoo Seodam smiled satisfactorily at her response and turned his head this time to meet Ye Sa-hye's eyes. She finally recognized Yoo Seodam's face after searching on her smartphone, she said, 'Ahhhhh! You are!' lifted his index finger.

"Miss Ye Sa-hye. You were probably a hunter wannabe, right?"

"Ho, How did you know? Only my mom knows that.."

"It's just a guess and right now you are desperately studying to be a hunting supporter because you don't have superpowers."

"Oh, my. How did you know?"

How did Yoo seodam know?

It was so obvious for him.

Ye Sa-hye, a girl in her 20s who was devastated by the fact that she couldn't be a hunter.

One day, she finds herself in a dangerous situation. And then she fell in love with Hong Yeop-sa, who saved her. But then they couldn't meet anymore. Then Ye Sa-hye met me who happened to meet Lee Dong-joon and found out that he was Hong Yeop-sa. With the help of my beloved System, I taught her to be a fighter to realize her dream!

Probably that was the rough summary of Ye Sa-hye cliché storyline.

'I'm glad I read martial arts novels from time to time.'

Yoo seodam know it all by reading the first half of the martial arts novel. Ye Sa-hye's story was as common as a cliché where the protagonist falls on a cliff and somehow finds a legendary elixir, or when the protagonist gets strength by scraping moss inside a cave somewhere only they know.

So..

"You don't have to be a hunting supporter. You still want to be Hunter, don't you?"

"Ye, Yes. That's right."

"Then let's be a Hunter, without having anything to worry about."

"Yes? But I don't have superpowers."

Yoo Seodam knew that word would come out and laughed.

"Did you watch TV? I'm the one who makes those incompetent hunters jump in happines."

"Ah!!"

Perhaps Ye Sa-hye had a lot of talents related to swordsmanship because she was connected to Lee Dong-joon, a Mugong protagonist.

And Geom-hee used to think she would marry Lee Dong-joon in the future.

In other words, these women were cliché's seed that had not yet unfolded.

"Well, why don't we go to the cafe and have a little chat?"

And from now on, Yoo Seodam was going to reap the seeds of the cliche that the main character was sowing.

:)
