056 It
was only after I had completely moved in with the furniture and luggage that I began to feel that this spacious Tower Palace was my home.
“oh my god! oh my god! “How can there be four bathrooms in one house?”
And Jisoo, who felt this reality the most, ran around and expressed joy with her whole body.
“I’m glad Jisoo looks happy. “Well, how frustrating must it have been for a child who had just started to grow up in that small corner of the house.”
Hyejeong, who was leisurely looking around the new home with Daesung, smiled happily.
Daesung asked Hyejeong, who smiled brightly.
“How is Mom?”
“You call that a horse? Of course mom is happy too. Moreover, my son earned his own money and allowed us to move into this spacious house. As a mother, what could be happier than this?”
“At one point, you urged me not to become a hunter because it was dangerous.”
“Oh my… he knows how to tell his mom practical jokes now, right?”
Hyejeong waved her hand and lightly tapped Daesung’s arm.
I was worried about my son, who was always expressionless and sullen, but I was secretly happy when I heard a joke that was a bit human.
but.
Unlike Daesung, who spoke lightly, Hyejeong felt a pain in her bones at those words.
“But… Mom’s thoughts haven’t changed even now. “No matter how good your aptitude is for that field, Mom hopes Daesung won’t do that for a long time.”
“….”
“It’s okay if I get kicked out again because I don’t have money. You can go back to that narrow corner of the house. “As long as Daesung is safe.”
My son had been in a coma for 10 years until a few days ago.
But look.
My son, who was grateful just for waking me up, has now been recognized by many people as being amazing, and has gifted me a large house that I wonder if I could ever see even if I worked for 1,000,000 years.
As a parent, how can you not be happy?
To be honest, I want to brag, saying, ‘This is my son’ or ‘My son is so amazing.’
still.
“Daesung, without you, I don’t need this house or the money. Jisoo probably thinks the same way.”
Considering that my only son is a hunter whose mortality rate is on a different level from other occupations.
As a parent, I had no choice but to calm down.
“Happiness isn’t something that can be achieved by having a large house or having a lot of money, right?”
“yes.”
“Promise me one more time. “I won’t go through any hardships.”
“I’ll promise.”
As Daesung said that, he gently took Hyejeong’s hand.
Even though it was a promise that could not be completely kept.
‘If I don’t work hard, this happiness won’t last long.’
Hye-jeong and Ji-soo escape from the terrible poverty they suffered in and stop suffering and live a stable life.
Because your happiness comes from there.
In order to achieve that happiness, he had no choice but to sacrifice a little, suffer, and run around busily.
Family happiness comes as a reward, but it makes no sense to not be able to endure even that much.
‘Now the realization of that happiness is on track… Now all we have to do is keep it from collapsing.’
After completing the field implementation quest, all protective measures were prepared.
The demonic beasts, including Balark, were also implemented without any flaws and with full power.
There is nothing to worry about.
Except for a few things.
“Jisoo. mom.”
When Daesung called in a heavy voice, Jisoo, who had been watching the kitchen from afar, came running.
To add a bit of exaggeration, in her eyes, Daesung was seen as a god, not an older brother.
“why? why? “Do you want something to order?”
“You’re going to be hungry because you haven’t even had breakfast and are moving, so let’s stop looking around and go get something to eat later.”
“and! “Are you going to the buffet today to commemorate the move?”
“Buffet… okay. let’s go.”
Jisoo clenched his fists and clicked his tongue as if he couldn’t stop Hyejeong from answering willingly.
As the two of them were about to leave the front door, ready to leave, Daesung spoke.
“I have a quick call to answer, but Mom and Jisoo are going down first.”
“okay! “You have to come quickly?”
The front door closed, leaving Daesung alone inside.
What I needed to do from now on was to keep my family as unnoticed as possible.
“The realization of Balark’s iron castle.”
[Implement the field ‘Balark’s Iron Castle’.]
[Please set the range in which to deploy the inherent barrier containing the field.]
The deployment of the unique barrier was possible anywhere as long as it did not exceed the size of the field.
For example, it is impossible to implement Ballark’s iron castle on the entire Korean Peninsula.
“this place. “60th floor.”
Daesung implemented an iron castle on the 60th floor after completing the occupancy contract.
Huaaaak –
Then, a circular membrane spread widely around the point where Daesung stood, enveloping the inside of the house.
It was the moment when the area where the inherent barrier would develop was established. As
soon
as the creation of the barrier was completed, the inside of the house surrounded by the membrane began to undergo repeated transformations and turn into an iron castle.
Gooooo –
Daeseong gave one more command while looking at the inorganic landscape of Cheolseong with a somewhat cool air current flowing through it.
“Setting checkpoints.”
[Designate the area where the unique barrier was deployed as a checkpoint.]
[From now on, you can teleport to the designated checkpoint from any location.]
[Only one checkpoint can be designated per implemented field.]
Tower Palace yesterday When implementing the field, this message suddenly appeared.
Would you like to designate that area as a checkpoint?
I ignored it at the time because there was no need for it, but since the place I will live with my family in the future will be different, I definitely needed to check.
Suddenly,
Daesung opened the stone gate of Cheolseong, which was essentially the ‘front door’ of the house, and went outside.
‘The load works without any problems.’
Before I went outside, it was the stone gate of the Iron Fortress, but now I turned my head and looked behind me and saw that it was just the nondescript front door of the Tower Palace.
This is because when viewed from the outside, outside the area of the inherent barrier, the exterior of the iron castle is not revealed due to the applied rod.
Daesung
went down the emergency stairs and headed straight to the first floor.
After recognizing that you are sufficiently far away from the intrinsic barrier.
“Go to checkpoint.”
That moment.
Pod –
In the blink of an eye, my son-in-law’s scenery changed to an iron castle.
Warp to the designated checkpoint.
‘They said there would be no delay and it could be done in any location, so there would be no distance limit.’
but.
[Remaining checkpoint use time: 1:59:58]
There is a cooldown of 2 hours until the next use.
That was the only flaw.
‘I guess I should use it carefully.’
Being in a situation where you have to use a checkpoint means that there is a threat to your family’s safety.
What if you’re at a point where you can’t use the checkpoint due to the 2-hour cooldown?
Just thinking about it made me dizzy.
‘I only use it when it’s really necessary.’
Regardless of the long cooldown, the very fact that a checkpoint function exists was great information.
This means that not only will Field and Masu protect the family, but he will also have the opportunity to step forward himself if the situation arises.
‘My family is safe.’
I had no worries even if the worst situation or the worst variables were to come in the future.
Daesung was relieved and canceled the realization.
The vast interior of the Tower Palace has been calmly restored.
“….”
It was then that we installed triple or quadruple security measures.
Daesung completely relaxed and enjoyed the fact that this large area belonged to him and his family.
‘I made you wait too long.’
Daesung thought of Hyejeong and Jisoo waiting for him below and hurried out the front door.
Tak –
A refreshing new life has come,
escaping from such a long period of poverty .
***
The next morning.
Squeak –
Daesung silenced the sound of his footsteps and entered Jisoo’s room.
Perhaps because it was early in the morning, she was sound asleep.
Daesung quietly placed a note with a few short lines at Jisoo’s bedside so as not to wake her from her sleep.
< As soon as you wake up, register for the academy first. A place with the best instructors. Don't worry about registration fees. >
This was something I had decided upon since I heard that she had dropped out of school and started working part-time to cover her hospital and living expenses.
Daesung hoped that even now, Jisoo would start studying again, make good friends, and graduate from college safely.
‘He’s a smart guy, so he’ll catch up quickly.’
Aside from this, I also planned to use the opportunity to tell Hyejeong to quit working at the restaurant.
I could no longer watch him suffer from back pain every night.
After finishing his work, Daesung immediately left the house.
An Audi was waiting at the entrance to Tower Palace.
“Nice house! Congratulations!”
It was Seong Chan-ho.
Daesung smiled and asked as soon as he got into the passenger seat.
“What did you ask for in a text message yesterday?”
“First of all, I did everything you told me to do without any problems.”
“good.”
“What’s good about it… If someone sees it, they’ll call me crazy and call me crazy.”
Before starting the engine, Seong Chan-ho lightly lit a cigarette and took out his cell phone.
A page for reserving a gate to enter appeared on the screen.
“Where in the world is there a person who reserves 6 gates at once?”
Seong Chan-ho was speechless after checking the list of reservation gates displayed on My Page.
Yesterday evening, he received this request via text from Daesung.
To bid on all gate admission tickets created near the Gangnam area.
“You are planning to stop Gangnam Gate by yourself.”
The reservation for the purchased gate will be automatically canceled if the successful bidder does not show up at least one hour before the reservation time.
In other words, you are only wasting a lot of money.
Of course, but generally speaking, everyone only reserves one gate per day.
Considering the time conditions, realistic possibilities, and the effort and effort put into the strategy, it is more reasonable.
In that sense, Daesung’s decision to go through as many as six gates in one day was truly unprecedented.
“I really couldn’t sleep because I was buying these things at night. Daesung, are you confident you can handle this?”
“there is.”
“…Okay, whatever. How could I suspect a guy who closed the military gate in 30 minutes? Do whatever you want. “I’ll just push from behind.”
I know it’s crazy, but the person Seong Chan-ho knew, Han Dae-seong, was a monster who could do such crazy things calmly.
Vroom –
Seong Chan-ho first drove to the place where the first reserved gate was located.
***
It was quite unusual for the gate fracture situation to be resolved in one night.
It usually takes as little as a week and as long as a month.
And most of that time is devoted to cleaning up the remaining monsters that were not caught and missed.
But what happened the day before yesterday was different from usual.
“The detector does not detect any ether that is believed to belong to monsters. “The entire Gangnam area.”
“It’s amazing.”
“It’s possible that one or two might leak out… “I can’t believe it.”
The entire White Wolf Corps, classified as level 2, was leaked to the outside world.
However, not only was the leader exterminated overnight, but all of them disappeared without leaving a single remaining individual.
It was thanks to Daesung, also known as Supernova, who was the one responsible for resolving the Fracture incident that occurred two days ago.
Inside
a dimly lit conference room.
Park Jeong-ho said, placing his hand on the long oval table.
“Therefore, as the president of the association, I believe that Hunter Han Dae-seong is fully qualified to be promoted to the sixth S-class…” Although he
couldn’t put emphasis on the sentence and trailed off.
Park Jeong-ho quietly rolled his eyes and continued speaking.
“What are the opinions of other S-class people?”
Big guys.
Towards the three S-class hunters sitting at the reserved seats at the table.
「….」
There was silence in the conference room for a moment.
Seo Dong-cheol is ranked 2nd in the domestic hunter ranking and 9th in the world.
Ryu Seo-yeon is ranked 4th in the domestic hunter ranking and 17th in the world.
Jo Han-ul, ranked 5th in the domestic hunter ranking and 19th in the world.
They are among the most powerful players not only in Korea but also in the world, and gathered together after receiving a call from the president of the association.
With the exception of Seo Dong-cheol, they who do not usually respond to KHA’s call are gathered here because a worthy topic was raised.
“As the S-level position carries a lot of weight, the consent of not only the association’s board members but also all other S-level members is required. “You see.”
It was natural for them to appear at a ceremony to select those who would stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
“For your information, we have sought consent in advance from hunters Lee Chang-sik and Baek Harin, who were absent from the meeting due to the gate attack. All that’s left now is-”
“I agree.”
at that time.
The first to express his opinion was Seo Dong-cheol.
As befits his nickname ‘Chariot’, the man with a large, muscular body raised his large hands and spoke.
“You have to admit what you have to admit. Doesn’t the fact that you can stop an army of grade 2 monsters single-handedly mean that you are no longer at the level of A grade?”
“If Lee Chang-sik agrees, I have no disagreement.”
The person who received Seo Dong-cheol’s words was Ryu Seo-yeon.
She, the only woman in the room, crossed her legs politely.
“You mean Lee Chang-sik acknowledged it? I’m not very happy with Baek Harin’s opinion, but…” “
Yes, then…”
Four out of five people agreed that Daesung would become S-class.
The atmosphere is almost certain.
Now all that’s left is
–
Park Jeong-ho moved his eyes to the far corner of the oval table.
Jo Hanul.
All that remained was his answer.
“….”
Gulp.
Park Jeong-ho didn’t show it, but he swallowed his saliva and felt nervous.
S-class hunters, including Seo Dong-cheol and Ryu Seo-yeon, readily allowed Daesung to be promoted.
Jo Han-ul was the only one who had remained silent from earlier.
‘Cho Han-ul is a person with a reputation for being difficult and ruthless.’
This young man with an ice-cold look was famous for his sharp eyesight.
They have their own firm standards and Zen philosophy.
The field design of the license test, which was much talked about due to its extremely difficult level, was also the result of a significant amount of Jo Han-ul’s intervention.
‘If the answer comes out of Jo Han-ul’s mouth here is ‘No…’
things will become troublesome.
At that time, Park Jeong-ho, waiting for Jo Han-ul’s answer, focused on his lips.
“But.”
Jo Han-ul’s mouth finally moved.
Park Jeong-ho’s concern was not overshadowed by his expression of complete dissatisfaction.
“Still, I stopped a Grade 2 Fracture by myself. Instead of just giving me a promotion to S Grade, shouldn’t the association at least treat me to a meal?”
“….”
So that was the point you didn’t like?
Park Jeong-ho let out a sigh that was both dumbfounded and relieved.
