“I will introduce you again. This guy here is Singularity Carbon, just like me, and next to him is Selly, the only daughter of Philip, the ruler of the Karma dimension.”

“It’s Sally! nice to meet you! nice to meet you!"

Sally's eyes lit up and she greeted everyone with her excited voice.

Carbon, on the other hand, was rubbing the imprinted cheek with her knee, writing her impression.

Park Hyunsoo sighed and sang Carbon.

“Hey, Carbon.”

“Damn, what do you say, look at me?”

“Tell me your introduction. We are going to work together in the future.”

"together?"

Carbon looked around the three of them.

Ha Yu-rak and Armand looked at him with expressionless faces, and Qing-ran was still glaring at him with a force to kill.

“Didn’t you just see it? How do we work together in a common sense?”

“You were wrong.”

“The arm was fixed. Isn't that enough?"

“It’s a pierced mouth!”

“Hold on, Ran.”

Armand stopped Qingran from trying to step back again.

“I’m thinking of doing it with a bastard like you, too. There’s nothing like ant poop!”

“Okay. I agree with each other, so I'll just go with it."

"Carbon."

Park Hyunsoo's voice subsided.

Carbon flinched.

He stared at Carbon with eyes as sunken as his voice.

“You are right.”

"right! carbon is wrong Carbon is wrong... … .”

"Selly, I'm telling you."

“Wow… … .”

Sally forced her excitement to go wild as she felt the intimidation in Park Hyunsoo's voice.

I had seen firsthand how scary Park Hyunsoo was when he was angry.

Thinking about that moment, his body trembled.

Park Hyunsoo turned to carbon again.

Carbon opened his mouth as if chasing.

“So I fixed my arm… … .”

"Carbon."

"Damn it! Okay, I got it!”

Carbon raised both hands at the suffocating gaze and voice.

He looked at Chingran with a sullen face.

“I was sorry then.”

“I would refuse to lie down and receive me. And that tone, is that an apology?”

“Even if I apologize, I’m sorry if I don’t… … .”

He continued his words, but at the sight of his eyes shot from the side, he abruptly stopped his words.

Carbon bit his lower lip and sighed as if lost.

“Well, back then I didn’t even care about you, so I just left. I apologize for that.”

This, too, was an apology I didn't like, but it was better than before.

However, this did not relieve the wrath of Chingran.

She turned on her double wick and pointed her finger at Carbon.

Her shiny black hair fluttered as she fanned out at the momentum she radiated.

"you."

In a growling voice.

“You’re going to have to go to Maud and apologize properly.”

"under?"

“Otherwise you will never be with us. Even if Hyunsoo brought him.”

“Who are you… … .”

“As Chairman, I agree with the Vice-Chairman.”

“As the president of the Korean Association, I agree.”

When Armand and Ha Yu-rak joined, Carbon's expression distorted beautifully.

He turned to Park Hyunsoo with an annoyed face.

Then Park Hyunsoo said.

“I agree.”

"men and horses!"

“Selly agrees too!”

"What are you?"

Carbon scratched his head at the sights shooting from around him.

I didn't return to Earth to be treated like this.

But what he did two years ago in Earth time was enough to make them angry.

Somehow, this got annoying.

“I will apologize later.”

“Good job, Carbon.”

"huh. I get up first.”

Carbon said so, and he disappeared.

Park Hyunsoo sighed a little and apologized to everyone.

"sorry."

“You have to be crazy in moderation, aren’t you the guy who has completely lost his taste?”

“I see him for the first time, but as Ran said, it doesn’t look normal. It's like seeing the old Haxen."

“Carbon is weird. but it's pretty good Please accept my jokes.”

When Qing Lan and Armand spoke badly of Carbon, Sally defended him.

The defense didn't mean much, though.

Park Hyunsoo said in a bitter voice.

“It’s hard to understand, but if it’s only natural for him to be like that, then it’s only natural.”

“What do you mean?”

Ha Yoo-rak asked curiously.

“Everyone knows about the disappearance, right?”

“What happened in Moscow 12 years ago?”

“Carbon is a party to the great disappearance, a returnee who has lived in another world for decades and returned to Earth a little over two years ago, Earth time.”

The three eyes widened.

It was unbelievable to hear, but no one could deny it, knowing that Park Hyunsoo roamed the universe not long ago.Above all, it was carbon that led Park Hyunsoo into the vast universe.

“There, Carbon gave up a lot to survive. Among them was humanity.”

A young boy had to do anything to survive in this world.

even if it's a crime.

Carbon said he didn't want to talk much about what he had been through in this world.

He had mostly bad memories, so he had no memories of him.

“Still, that’s a lot better.”

“That?”

Ha Yu-rak made a face that said he would not believe it.

“At first, it was difficult to describe that guy as an idiot. The forced apology is proof that Carbon’s humanity has returned to some extent.”

Qingran's expression deteriorated.

Carbon's fault was wrong, but it was true that his situation was pitiful.

It was hard to imagine that a young child had been fighting alone for decades in a lonely place.

Even compared to Earth, it was infinitely ferocious.

Although magic developed, civilization was low-level, and murder and rape were rampant on the streets.

“That doesn’t justify his fault.”

"that's right. That is why I forced myself to apologize. If it hadn’t been for the nature of Carbon, I wouldn’t have apologized even if I had been forced to.”

He lived together in space for 40 years.

When it comes to carbon, he knew better than anyone.

“By the way, doesn’t a person named Carbon not participate in this meeting?”

“It was all up to me. At first... … .”

“What in the first place?”

“No.”

Park Hyunsoo remained silent, as if he shared Carbon's thoughts here, his improved image would be shattered again.

“Anyway, the story got long because of Carbon, but like I said before, it’s Sally.”

“It’s Sally!”

Sally excitedly raised her hand.

Her earthen ears perked up.

"rabbit… … human?"

“Selly is a Levinian!”

“Levinian?”

“It is a transcendental species that rules the karma dimension.”

“What else is the Transcendental Bell?”

Since there were no transcendental species on Earth, it was an unfamiliar word to them.

Park Hyunsoo explained it in a way that was easy for them to understand.

“Simply put, it is a race that has a high chance of becoming a Transcendent without much effort.”

“Even without effort, the transcendent… … ?”

I knew about the Transcendent.

So was the ceremony, the monster that fought Park Hyunsoo at the Dark Gate, and Park Hyunsoo also stepped into the realm.

I don't know where I am now, but if 40 years had passed in space, I would have become a complete transcendent without telling them.

It was the extreme of absurdity that it did not require much effort to become a being with such monstrous power.

“Selly is seventeen this year.”

The three of them looked at Sally without anyone else doing it.

As her gaze focused, Sally scratched the back of her head, smiling awkwardly in embarrassment.

Everyone watched her as she knocked her carbon down with a single blow from her knee.

“By the way, Carbon is also a Transcendent.”

He subdued the Transcendent with one knee.

Carbon didn't seem to care, but the pain he felt was definitely real.

Qingran, Armand, and Yurak Ha were S-class hunters, but they felt a sense of disappointment.

They too were a case in which power was acquired overnight, but since then, they have not neglected their efforts.

They obviously thought they were stronger than they were two years ago, but seeing Selly, their growth was nothing.

But it wasn't just disappointment.

“You brought great power!”

Qingran pounded the table hard with her short arms and stood up.

Yes, I was not tall, so I borrowed the power of a chair.

“It’s a transcendental species. Even the daughter of the King of those transcendents?”

“It’s not long before the military restrictions are lifted, but it’s been great. Well brought.”

“I didn’t bring him, he came.”

"Yes! I’m here to see Sally’s Hyunsoo!”

“… … You want to see Hyunsoo?”

“I love Hyunsoo!”

Sally spread her arms out and tried to hug Park Hyunsoo.

She failed to hug her as Park Hyunsoo avoided her before him.

“Didn’t you do it?”

“Hey.”

“… … Are you Hyunsoo?”

As Park Hyunsoo finished her celery, a heavy voice was heard next to her.

Ha Yu-rak was staring at Park Hyunsoo terrifyingly with her eyebrows drooping.

Her red hair rose like a lion's mane.

The corners of her droopy eyebrows turned into a smile as if bowing like a bow.

"girl friend?"

“Hey, you’re not my girlfriend.”

“Then are you a girl?”

"sister!"

"girl friend? Some girl?”

Sally shook her head from side to side.

Her bunny ears wiggled along with her softly.

She then made sure she understood both words, she said, with her big eyes wide open.

“Mating!”

“Park Hyunsoo!!!”

“It’s a misunderstanding!!”

Ching-ran muttered as he watched her Ha Yu-rak rush to Park Hyunsoo.

“Pretending not to, jealousy.”

“Are you jealous?”

“At this age?”

Armand shrugged her shoulders as Chingran gave her a plastic look.

She was the only one who didn't know that it would only look strange if she said something like that with that face.

* * *

Only after the misunderstanding was cleared up did Ha Yu-rak calm down.

She coughed and blushed in embarrassment.

“… … Now let’s start talking in earnest.”

Park Hyunsoo said, tidying up his messy hair.

Sally was smiling next to her.

She just seemed to have no idea.

He coughed for no reason and placed the golden ring on the table.

“This is the device that activates Monster Wave.”

"this? How will it be structured?”

Ha Yu-rak touched the golden ring, but she didn't see anything special.

Park Hyunsoo, who took it back, smiled and breathed energy into her golden ring.

Woong-!

The ring emitted a golden light, and a hologram appeared there.

[Monster Gate]

-You can open the gate connected to ‘Uri’ once a week.

-'Us' consists of a total of five stages from 1 to 5, and the monsters become stronger in each stage.

*Step 1: You can hunt only when 5 or more C-class hunters gather together.

*Step 2: You can hunt only when 5 or more B-class hunters gather together.

*Stage 3: B-class hunters can be hunted only when 20 or more team up

*Step 4: You can hunt only when three or more A-class hunters unite.

*Step 5: Hunting can only be done when at least one S-class hunter is included.

-Carbon production-

Originally, the golden ring was made by Philafos and was based on Levinian, but Carbon updated it to be human-like for easier viewing.

Humanity prepared hard to say that it was not helpful.

‘If you look closely, this guy is also a tsundere.’

I've done everything I can for the subject that I don't like with my mouth.

Park Hyunsoo looked at everyone with a grin.

“It’s like this.”

“If you decide the stage, how many animals usually come out at a time?”

“Level 1 is ten thousand, level 2 is five thousand, level 3 is 1,000, level 4 is five hundred, level 5 is thirty.”

“… … !!”

The three of them thought for a moment that they had heard it wrong.

Obviously, looking at the level of strength of each level monster, it was not an easy difficulty to think of.

However, the number ranged from as many as ten thousand units to as few as tens of units.

Even if the first stage was like that, from the second stage onwards, it was never at a level that could be done positively.

There wouldn't be that many monsters in the portal.

In particular, in the case of step 5, at least one S-class hunter must be included.

The fact that there were 30 of them simply meant that there had to be at least three S-class hunters for each.

If it were not for singularities, it would not be strange if mankind would perish.

As everyone was bewildered, Park Hyunsoo continued speaking as if he had not finished talking yet.

“There are ten gates in total. Each location is up to you. We plan to distribute it evenly to each gate, so we need to match the power as much as possible.”

"medical charge… … Isn't that like too much?"

Armand asked in a worried tone.I've heard of high risk, high return, but that's too harsh no matter how you look at it.

Ha Yu-rak and Qing-ran also expressed concerns.

“I know it’s urgent, but everyone will die in that way.”

“Can’t you adjust the number of monsters?”

“As far as I know, the number of hunters belonging to the New World is as high as 100,000.”

“Even if it’s 100,000, you know that Hunter’s rank starts at F. More than half of the Hunters of C or lower rank.”

Park Hyunsoo listened to them and answered in a cold voice.

“You don’t have that mindset.”

"what… … ?”

“I will drive the Awoken to the limit. Until they feel the threat of death, even when death is near.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“And there must have been some of those who were driven like that.”

Park Hyunsoo looked at the three in turn.

“Someone who breaks the limit will appear.”

"for a moment. Wasn’t the purpose of Monster Wave ‘training’ to improve overall power?”

“Training? Monster Wave?”

At those words, Park Hyunsoo couldn't help but laugh.

he said with a smile.

“Everything is practical. Numbers don't mean anything. In the battle of superhumans, there is only one powerful being that can influence the war situation.”

40 years.

Wandering through space, he witnessed quite a few wars.

It wasn't the only time I'd seen planets destroyed and galaxies collapsing.

And usually such wars start with numbers and end with the victory of the side with at least one more powerful warrior.

Seeing those things, Park Hyunsoo thought.

After all, the number of pages is not for the king.

Then, you need to find someone with potential and develop it into a powerful warrior.

“There are some Awoken who have not yet fully harnessed their powers or who have high potential but do not know how to awaken them. Monster Wave is a real project to find such people.”

“… … It sounds like they will leave the rest alone.”

“It is not neglect. We’re going to increase our overall power for the first time.”

“Hey Hyunsoo, but this is so cruel… … .”

“It has to be brutal so we can survive.”

Ha Yurak bit his lower lip.

No words could refute Park Hyunsoo's words.

The situation of mankind was so dire.

Even if a lot of progress has been made in two years, if the military constraint is lifted after half a year, despair will begin.

That is why Park Hyunsoo's words, although cruel, were truthful.

“They will shine brightly in the war to come.”

“Are you sure there will be such people?”

“Because they are human, there will always be warriors who can transcend their limits and gain powerful power.”

Because you are human.

Qingran thought the sound wasn't bad.

She nodded her little face.

"great. Follow your words. The two of you?”

She saw Hayurak and Armand.“I will follow.”

Even Yoo-Rak Ha agreed with Park Hyunsoo's opinion.

Armand was different.

“In the end, sacrifices are inevitable.”

“It will be inevitable.”

Armand began to ponder with a serious face.

Park Hyunsoo waited for him.

He was the current chairman of the New World, and his choices will cost him a lot.

He had to be careful.

The representative of mankind is not Park Hyunsoo.

Armand himself was none other than the representative of mankind.

With many burdens on his shoulders, he could not make decisions easily for him.

“I think it will take some time.”

“There is not much time.”

"I know."

Armand answered and got up from his seat.

“Tomorrow, at this time, I will give you a definite answer.”

"I'll wait."

Armand stood for a moment and looked at Park Hyunsoo, then turned around.

“See you tomorrow.”

Armand left first.

Immediately afterwards, Qingran also stood up.

“I don’t even want to go.”

"Please go in carefully."

She looked at Park Hyunsoo for a moment and then nodded.

The two left, and only Park Hyunsoo, Ha Yoo-rak, and Sally were left in the conference room.

For some reason, Sally remained silent during the conversation.

As she and she looked like the conversation was over, she cautiously opened her mouth.

“Are you done?”

"Huh. for now."

“Whew.”

She took a deep breath, feeling frustrated.

Ha Yu-rak looked at her and turned her gaze to Park Hyunsoo.

“Did this happen?”

“For now.”

"okay. That’s it.”

"thank you."

“Thank you.”

Ha Yu-rak replied with a bitter smile.

“We’ll stop, too.”

“… … we?"

“Hey, I have to go to Carbon first.”

“Hmmmm. That's right. See you later."

"rest."

Park Hyunsoo wrinkled one of his eyes and disappeared with Sally.

Alone, Ha Yu-rak blushed for nothing and buried her head in her clothes.

* * *

Sally returned to the spaceship.

Park Hyunsoo returned home.

And there she met an uninvited guest.

“What are you doing to someone else’s house without saying a word?”

“The plan looked interesting.”

Isaac responded by playing with Monami with a toy fishing rod where he got it.

“Bye!ふ!”

Monami was jumping hard to catch the fishing line if it was fun.

Park Hyunsoo shook his head and sat across from him.

“Did you hear everything?”

“I heard everything.”

“Did you come to me because of that?”

“I have that, and I have something to ask for.”

"Request?"

I didn't know that Isaac would do what he asked for.

He said, waving his fishing rod with an indifferent face.

“Train me.”

“… … what?"

“You want me to be as strong as you.”

The little boy had to choose.

Whether or not to meet the Demon King.

When I first saw the power of Park Hyunsoo in person, I was impatient and thought of meeting the Demon King.

But in the end, it was the temptation of the demon sword, and he decided not to fall for that temptation again, so that option was excluded.

So, how can you become stronger?

The little boy thought about it, but he couldn't think of anything in particular.

Except for one character.

“Are you saying you’re going to give up all your self-esteem and learn from me?”

"Pride?"

Isaac grinned.

It wasn't that my self-esteem wasn't hurt.

There is only something more important than that pride.

“I will kill the king.”

The last appearance of Robben I saw was not forgotten even after two years had passed.

“But right now, it’s not long enough.”

Isaac said with eyes full of determination.

“So give me strength.”

At those words, Park Hyunsoo couldn't help but laugh.

I didn't expect things to turn out like this.

‘It feels like the world is moving for me.’

Park Hyunsoo answered without much thought.

“Welcome, Isaac.”
