episode_0085

As usual, right after spending a hot night with Lim A-rin.

‘Are you asleep?’

After confirming that A-rin Lim was asleep, I covered her with a blanket and quietly left the living room. I took a sip of cool water and settled down on the living room sofa.

[01:57 am]

I think it started around 11am, but it was already approaching 2am.

“… ha… .”

A heavy sigh escapes me without my knowledge.

It was nice spending time with Arin Lim.

The more I was with her, the more I felt like I was making up for the time I had never enjoyed.

As we made love until my brain felt numb, I felt like my heart was filled with a strange sense of stability and warmth.

As long as you are happy, you can say that you are already living in heaven.

however… .

The longer I stayed with her, the more the inexplicable anxiety growing on one side of my chest grew.

I felt like I shouldn’t be complacent with the current reality.

‘… Will it be okay like this? .’

In fact, it is literally a groundless anxiety.

It’s so close to perfect that it’s hard to say it’s better than this.

First of all, the first goal, the plan to defend against the invasion of the Demon King’s army, is progressing very smoothly.

In the original novel ‘The Strongest Master’, the main reason for not being able to properly defend the Demon King’s army was the government’s indecisiveness and complacent response.

In short, it was because the invasion of the Demon King’s army itself was considered too insignificant.

But this time is different.

I have the influence to assert the danger of the Demon King’s army, and I even have strong supporters called Sejin and Baekil on my back.

Even if the government does not take action, it is possible to prevent a third invasion.

‘Cheonma’, one of the big variables, was completely incorporated into the allies.

In fact, the third incident is a major turning point that turns the tide… .

If you can block this well, you will be able to block the Demon King’s invasion much more smoothly, and if the Queens act in a timely manner, you will be able to repel the Demon King’s army without much difficulty.

So what about the second goal?

My second goal is to live a life doing what I truly want to do.

He lives a fulfilling life by continuing his career as a producer.

In that sense, the second goal can actually be seen as an issue that has already been resolved.

Team Seoul City Hall’s stock price is rising day by day thanks to the good performances of leader Bang Han-na and ace Jin Seo-won, and the importance of Kim Na-rae, a versatile strategic element, is also starting to be revealed little by little.

Of course, as the value of Team Seoul City Hall increases, my position in the market will also expand, so if I successfully block the invasion of the devil, I will naturally be able to achieve my second goal.

And yet, when I see something like this that makes me feel like I’m missing something… .

There really may be something I’m missing.

Slurp-

I leaned deeply on the sofa and looked at the dark ceiling.

Then, I started thinking carefully to find blind spots that I might not have considered.

‘I’m sure I’ve blocked all the big variables… .’

Since falling into this world, I have been trying to control the various variables that appeared in the original work.

Basically, the story of the original work, ‘The Strongest Master’, progressed with the logic of a snowball effect from beginning to end.

It might be fun from the reader’s perspective, but from the perspective of someone who will experience it firsthand, it was just a completely useless development.

So, to prevent the snowball from rolling in the first place, I created a team called ‘Queens’.

All disturbing variables can now be blocked in advance or directly controlled.

however… .

What if I missed a variable because I didn’t roll the snowball?

What if a completely unexpected new variable arose because you didn’t follow the original story from the beginning?

‘It seems plausible… .’

In the original novel, Seol Joo-hee just awakened her abilities and began working as a hunter, and grew up while going through the numerous events that occurred in the meantime.

but.

The current Seol Joo-hee is not like that.

In other words, there may be cases where the outcome was different because Seol Joo-hee did not interfere.

“… … .”

I went back through old memories and recalled Seol Joo-hee’s actions in the original work.

There’s about a month left until the season ends… .

We were in the midst of solving a case after receiving a request from an organization under the National Intelligence Service, commonly known as the ‘National Intelligence Service’.

‘It’s the National Intelligence Service… .’

Seol Joo-hee, who colluded with the National Intelligence Service in exchange for receiving rare items, personally went around eradicating the ‘black society’ that was lurking in the secret world.

Later, he punished Seoul Mayor Lee Sang-heum, who was looking after the criminal organization, and revealed his true identity to the world.

This led to an incident that lowered the citizens’ trust in the government, and created a major obstacle in preventing the third invasion of the Demon King’s army.

‘Those guys… . ‘They were pretty big guys.’

The Black Society is a large organization that has a significant influence on society as a whole, and was a villain organization that had some significance in the original work.

The writer, who suddenly turned around, began to continue his story and disappeared without a word.

‘What should we do with these guys?’

The reason I didn’t pay much attention to the organizations in the original work, such as the National Intelligence Service or the Black Society, was because it was much more efficient to grow the queens while dealing with them.

However, once we recognized that uncontrollable variables may arise, it was difficult to ignore them as before.

‘Umm… .’

How long has it been since I was wondering if there were any variables I missed?

“Mahae… ?”

A lovely, sleepy voice pierced my ears.

It seemed like Lim A-rin had woken up.

“Are you awake?”

“Woong… . What were you doing?”

“Just thinking about this and that… .”

She naturally comes to the sofa and falls into my arms.

“Not sleeping?”

“I need to sleep.”

She wiggled her body cutely and yawned, then grabbed my hand and put it inside her pajamas and started acting cute.

“Put me back to sleep.”

“Is that so?”

So I gave up my worries and hugged her tightly and lay down on the sofa.

‘… ‘I’ll think about it again tomorrow.’

As I massaged Lim A-rin’s soft body, I made a promise to myself for the next time.

*

“Hwaam… .”

next day.

As usual, I went to the training center, yawned profusely, and summarized the events that appeared in the original work.

‘Black society… , black society… . This is also a black society… . ‘It’s a lot bigger than I thought, isn’t it?’

What I realized anew was that the black society was surprisingly involved in many episodes.

It almost felt like a group created by the author to fill in the episodes between the invasion of the Demon King’s army.

‘Maybe this is a good thing… .’

To be honest, the black community itself is not a group that is that problematic to me.

I don’t know if they had pointed a knife at me with their abusive words, but they had a strong feeling that they were doing it among themselves, so it wasn’t an organization that was much of an obstacle.

but… .

Excluding the episode that prevents the Demon Lord’s invasion, more than half of the episodes are related to the black society.

If we destroy the black society in advance, we can block all related variables.

‘Seup…’ . Should I really do it?’

While I was shaking my head and waiting for the members to come out of the locker room.

“… oh… . … Producer.”

“Ah. Did you come out?”

Jin Seo-won appeared first.

“ character. Take care of your things and warm up first while the others come out.”

I spoke without thinking and handed him the drink I had prepared in advance.

however.

“… … .”

As if he had something to say, Jin Seo-won, who had taken the drink, stood there quietly and glared at me.

‘what?’

I was suspicious of her appearance, so I tried to throw out a hint.

“… Do you have something to say?”

OK.

Jin Seo-won silently searched his pocket, took out a small business card, and handed it to me.

“… I received this yesterday.”

“What is this?”

[Happiness Guild]

It was the business card of a new guild, perhaps one I had never heard of before.

“Who gave this to you?”

“… Yes.”

Jin Seo-won added that he would give a lot of money along with a business card, and that he was told to contact him if he was interested… .

‘That’s a very typical comment.’

I noticed that this was a common scouting method of the gang’s guild, so I thanked them for letting me know and advised them to ignore it next time.

“They’re all scammers, so don’t even talk to them.”

“… Scammer?”

“These are people who lie and say they will give you a lot of money, and then end up doing bad things. So next time, just ignore it.”

“… Yes.”

After receiving information about Jinseowon, I briefly investigated a place called ‘Happiness Guild’ while the other members were out.

however.

“… Huh?”

While searching for information related to the Happy Guild.

[Happiness Guild, investment from Citizen Love Welfare Foundation… ]

I found the name quite unexpectedly.

‘Citizen Love Welfare Group?’

The Citizen Love Welfare Group is an organization that appeared in the original work’s episode where Seol Joo-hee fakes a job. .

It was a sub-organization of the black society that emerged later.
