"So, what do you think?
"I also don't know..."
"Their behavior is strange and unpredictable"
Standing there Oliver and Sylv who were watching the press conference from the swap dungeon incident. In front, the chairman of the association, Dong Wook. Beside him, Kang Min and Ji Yeon answered questions from reporters.
"Two dungeon incidents... one when you were in it and the other..." said Sylv while looking at the reporters who were scrambling for questions.
"Mammon, Belphegor and Satan...." Oliver murmured.
"Isn't that the name of the seven deadly sins" Oliver looked at Dong Wook who seemed to be having trouble with the reporters.
"The seven great sins, hm... right now that's all we know"
"You're right..."
"Where did they come from, what was their purpose, what their strength was like...."
Oliver sighed quite long.
"How did you feel when you first saw them?"
The atmosphere below looks unconducive. Not only local journalists, some from abroad are also seen with critical questions.
"They are strong... especially the one named Mammon"
".....She's stronger than me"
"Based on her characteristic traits, wasn't she the one who caused the Jeju incident?" Oliver looked at Sylv.
The one who was staring was seen sighing. "You're right, But her behavior is very different"
"When first encountered, her terrifying aura could even reach Seo Yeon and the others hundreds of km away" Oliver reimagined how terrible the pressure he felt.
"If one of them intends to destroy the earth, it will at least take all the UR hunters to stop it"
"If that happens, will you bring out your true abilities?" asked Oliver while looking down, several reporters were seen arguing with each other.
Sylv stared at the skyline, "my top priority is to save as many lives as possible..." Sylv looked down again, "if my life means saving millions of lives, then I'll gladly give it away"
Oliver was a little surprised to hear Sylv's words. "How can you sacrifice to that extent?"
"Because it's my duty, someone who craves people's smiles" Sylv smiled sincerely.
Oliver saw that smile. "You're a weird hunter"
"Never conquered dungeons and only saved people from dungeon breaks"
"Hahaha I'm sorry if I put a burden on you"
"Don't you know that a lot of people look down on you?"
"As long as they can live in peace without any danger from monsters, that's enough for me" Oliver sighed in surprise at seeing a hunter like Sylv.
The atmosphere below is starting to be conducive again. The reporter began to ask questions regularly and the three also answered them clearly. But the information about Hyun, it seems to be kept in a tight meeting to avoid further uproar.
"It seemed like the conference was almost over"
"I'll go first to visit Hyun" Sylv waved her hand then left.
Hyun...
"It seems like the day when the hunter has to work hard to level up and get stronger is going to happen"
"We can't let a teenager who just woke up carry such a huge burden" Oliver said to himself then left.
At the hospital where Hyun was being treated. Sylv enters Hyun's room and sees Sera who is asleep beside him. Sylv walked slowly so that Sera wouldn't wake up and stood next to Hyun's empty side. Sylv stared at Hyun's sleeping face. It's been four days since Hyun was unconscious. Every day Sera always comes and sits all day next to her brother. "I'm sorry, I can't always be by your side to help" Sylv gently stroked Hyun's hair, tidying it up. "I only can help you from behind and pray for you..."
There was a moaning sound from the other side, it looks like Sera is waking up."Eghh... Is it you, unnie?"
Sylv smiled, "Let's have lunch! unnie bring your favorite chicken"
Sera who was half conscious, nodded then stood up and walked over to the table to eat. Sylv looked at the voracious Sera, sometimes wanting to cry when she imagined the huge burden they both carried. How can such a huge burden be borne by those who have even experienced a very difficult life.
Losing a parent right in front of their eyes, poverty, sneers and other things that adults may not be able to bear.
Sera, who began to feel the emotions around her, stopped eating her chicken and shared what Sylv feel.
Sylv, who saw Sera stop eating and a tear that began to wet her tiny cheeks, rushed to rub and hug her. "I'm sorry for not being able to take care of you two..."
Sera's soft cry rang out from her arms. Sylv couldn't hold back her feelings anymore. She hugged Sera tightly, as if she didn't want to lose her. In the silent room, the cries of the two filled the void. Something that can only be understood without words and only with the heart, describing such a beautiful but also painful atmosphere.
Cloudy skies adorned the city's sky. Making people under, move in a hurry. Some began to shade and others continued their activities. A cold wind blew among the crowds of people and buildings. Tighten the thick jacket.
Broadcasts on television as well as radio, airing about press conferences about the swap dungeon incident. Human eyes and ears pay attention to it. Some were worried because of so many strange incidents regarding dungeons. And some are ignorant because maybe this is just an incident that will later subside and the hunters will solve it.
Dong Wook, the chairman of the hunter association and also the UR hunter of South Korea, looked up at the sky that began to cry. His mind cannot be separated from the many sequences of events that lead to something very bad. "It had not been two months since Oliver had raided the level 6 dungeon solo, strange incidents began to appear"
"Although there are currently many hunters with great power, when juxtaposed with enemies..."
Tok tok.
"Excuse me, sir!"
Dong Wook turned around and looked at his secretary who was carrying some documents. The secretary handed over the documents in his hand. "Haa... I hope to complete my duties as the chairman of the association and live a quiet life afterwards,"
Dong Wook read the document.
"Looks like you have to work harder for that," joked his secretary.
"Haha... I'm sure young people like you are the ones who have to work hard in the future"
"What do you mean? You were still young enough to be called an oldman"
"Maybe you're right"
The conversation ended with Dong Wook taking a deep breath.
In his penthouse, Oliver stared out drizzle. Behind him, his younger sisterr, Meddie, was doing her schoolwork.
"Oppa! Meddie was a bit confused about this one..." Oliver walked over and looked at the problem his sister was referring to. He began to help Meddie with her schoolwork.
If I have to pay anything for peace like this, then I will pay for it. Whatever it is.
...
In an orphanage.
"Noona! Hurry in! it looks like it's going to rain"
"You guys go in first! Noona will catch up after taking the clothesline!"
The woman, who looks just in her 20s, is staring at the cloudy sky with her green eyes. "I hope nothing bad will happen..."
Immediately she grabbed the remaining clothesline and went inside. Tightly close doors and windows.
.....
Somewhere where humans don't exist, "Hey, As... Where are you?"
"Hm, what's wrong Mammon?" came a female voice from the other side.
"There's a task for you..."
"What is it? I can't wait to hear it" now came a man's voice.
Mammon smiled.
.....
A week later at Sylv's house.
"Please, my great noona!" Hyun is seen bowing his head begging Sylv. "I want to win from the previous fight!"
Previously, Hyun told about what happened during the swap dungeon. About him who was almost defeated by his natural enemy. Hyun hides the system even though Sylv seems to know about himself and the system.
"Haaa... So you want to be simulated against the monster?"
"Can't you?" Hyun looked at his brother while holding his position.
"You think who's in front of you, hm? but before that, come to Oliver's office," Sylv said ruffling Hyun's hair. "Looks like he has something to talk about with you"
"Oliver nim? hm, alright" Hyun straightened his hair and walked out. Sylv looked at Hyun's back who was slowly moving away, "I know you want to get stronger but...."
On the way to Oliver's office, Hyun kept looking at the ring on his finger. "Hey system! Is this ring really a soul-level weapon?"
That's right, master.
After completing the dungeon swap, on Hyun's finger, a black and white ring suddenly appeared. Hyun only saw it and he hadn't even tried it. His intention was that he wanted to try it all when Sylv finished making a training ground for a simulation of fighting with the alien monsters that Hyun had fought before. But since Oliver suddenly wants to meet him and Sylv is also preparing for it, it seems like Hyun will have to wait a little longer. He was more curious about Oliver calling him.
Oliver's offices, guilds and penthouses are all in the same building and are strategically located in Seoul. It took a few minutes to get from Sylv's house to Oliver's house.
After several public transportation rides, Hyun finally arrived in front of his building. From the outside, this building looks majestic and sturdy. It is said that the walls alone can withstand the attacks of monsters from level 4 dungeons. Plus the security inside was created by one of the guild members, Ji Hu which was almost impossible to penetrate. Making it one of the safest places after the Blue House and the association's headquarters.
As soon as he entered, Hyun was greeted by a friendly receptionist and asked about what business he was coming here about. Hyun explained that he was invited by Oliver directly. Hyun also said that he didn't know why Oliver called him and just came here.
The receptionist asked Hyun to wait for a while, calling someone. After the phone hung up, the receptionist greeted Hyun and guided him to meet the building's owner, Oliver.
"Please come with me, sir!" Hyun was guided to a special elevator that seemed to be only for Oliver and his guild members. The atmosphere, the hospitality, and everything in Oliver's building, made
Hyun feel like he was just a commoner who wanted to meet the king.
Ting!
The notification screen shows the inscription 29th floor. "Please, sir!"
The receptionist guided him to a large door. "Sir, your guest has arrived"
Immediately the big door opened slowly.
This is crazy!!
