35.Universe 1st Year

While Han Sarang was practically cutting ties with the President, Yu-eun was paying close attention to scouting content for choosing a travel destination.

The general preparations were done, but the most important thing, the destination, hadn’t been decided yet.

 

“Zombies seem okay, but… a lot of beautiful women must have died, right? Guess it won’t work. Hmm…”

 

 

Extremely Yu-eun-like criteria.

He felt like he could just go anywhere, but since it was the first time he was going somewhere he wanted, he was being quite careful.

 

 

 

After spending time like that, he eventually decided on the world of martial arts, one of the two major genres, and began to organize the big things before going.

 

First, he declared the ‘Galactic Empire’ and announced humanity’s advancement into space, creating the ‘Cosmic Era’ under the pretext of needing to establish a new dating system.

The palace and the Empire had started last year, but it wasn’t the ‘Galactic Empire’ at the time, so he made this year Cosmic Era Year 1 and abolished the Gregorian calendar that had been used until then.

 

Also, he paid Stats to purchase Gangnam, which had been vaguely remaining, and Incheon and parts of Gyeonggi Province, which were its gateways, making them complete territories of the Empire.

Demonstrations broke out in Korea in response, but the Korean government ignored them.

 

 

 

Since the majority of the Galactic Empire’s territory was occupied by the Bojinia Federal Empire and the Mt. Fuji Autonomous Territory, Yu-eun, who thought that the Galactic Empire needed direct control, began construction of a lunar base as Seo-hyun had initially announced, and took steps to incorporate the moon into the territory despite countless objections from the world.

 

In response, the United States, which had not sent people to the moon for some time, was stimulated and implemented related projects, but it was already too late.

Catching up with the Galactic Empire’s technology now was close to impossible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway, after handling the immediate tasks and opening the gate for the otherworld jump, it was around August of Cosmic Era Year 1.

By this time, the Bojinia Federal Empire had also stabilized a lot, and each industry was running smoothly, and the countless resources hidden in the vast territory were being mined at an incredible rate.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

“Is it finally time?”

 

 

Gangnam, which had changed a lot as it became a complete territory of the Empire.

According to the treaty with Korea, the citizens of both countries were able to acquire visas and permanent residency in both countries without any restrictions for the next five years. Thanks to this, quite a few people flowed into Gangnam, partly because of the establishment of various girls’ schools and female military units as promised by the President last year, but mostly because Gangnam itself was becoming a global logistics hub.

 

 

No matter how much the Galactic Empire was a group that committed atrocities, prosperity could not be stopped as long as Stats, an irreplaceable resource, was produced.

 

Naturally, a huge number of people flocked to get a piece of the pie, and currently, even though land prices had risen dozens of times from the original, people and companies were constantly flowing in.

 

 

 

In the center of such Gangnam, in the prime location, there are three symbolic buildings.

One is the ‘Imperial Palace’, the center of the Galactic Empire beyond Gangnam, and the other is the landmark ‘Stat Casino’.

And the last one is the ‘Trade Center.’

 

 

Each of them boasted skyscrapers that seemed to pierce the sky, and among them, the scale of the Trade Center was particularly large.

Since the gate, the door to the other world, is inside the Trade Center, is there any need to say more?

 

 

Normally, a huge amount of transport vehicles and personnel such as soldiers and police would have been coming and going through the gate in the basement for exchanges, but it was quiet now.

It’s because today is the day when Yu-eun and his party are leaving for the otherworld expedition.

 

 

“Martial arts? Does something like that really exist?”

 

 

Eun So-ryeong, carrying a backpack as big as her body, glared at the back of Yu-eun’s head with eyes that still couldn’t believe it.

She looked a little tired, because she hadn’t had sex even once since she took the pill that Yu-eun gave her about two months ago and became 17 years old in body age.

 

 

It wouldn’t have been a problem if that was all, but just because she didn’t have sex didn’t mean that Yu-eun didn’t touch her, so she had a pretty tiring life.

Desires and stimulation continue to build up, but she can’t release them.

She’s almost going crazy.

 

Thanks to this, she had unusually tried to pounce on Yu-eun first, but failed every time because of his shitty belief that ‘So-ryeong-ssi’s virginity will be taken in another world!’

Now she has just given up.

 

 

 

Anyway, she, who hasn’t abandoned the common sense of modern people yet, couldn’t believe that a worldview that would only appear in novels actually existed.

That’s because martial arts is just a worldview created by humans. If it actually exists, it means that things like ‘I woke up and I’m in the world of anime!’ that only come out of delusions are possible, but no matter how she thinks about it, it doesn’t make sense.

 

 

But whether she thought so or not, the situation progressed.

 

Yu-eun finally opened the door to the Murim (martial arts world).

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Wow. It really opened.”

 

 

Sora, who was watching from behind, exclaimed.

She also thought it was ridiculous like Eun So-ryeong.

 

 

But if we’re talking about things that don’t make sense, the phenomenon of dungeons itself is an error from the start.

So she just accepts it.

 

 

 

 

“Haha. Now it will take a really long time to see your wives if you go. I’m sad.”

“Come see me about once every two weeks. If you can’t, at least call.”

 

 

Greetings with the wives that had continued since last night.

Sora, Yuna, and Sonya also had strange expressions.

They were the ones who pushed him to go first, but this regret was felt nonetheless.

 

 

“Then I’ll be back.”

 

 

Even after Yu-eun and his party disappeared beyond the gate, they stared at their backs for a while.

There are three major forces in the Murim.

 

 

 

 

First, the ‘Martial Arts Alliance’, where sects that follow the righteous path gather to protect the ‘chivalry’ and ‘justice’ of the Murim.

The headquarters of the Martial Arts Alliance is nestled in the Beggars’ Sect, and its scale alone is reminiscent of a large city.

 

 

The number of affiliated sects reached about 1200, and the number of warriors directly under the Martial Arts Alliance, selected and raised from each sect, totaled 30,000.

The peace that had lasted for the past 200 years had created such prosperity, and the righteous Murim had never been so strong in history, but they couldn’t rest assured.

 

 

This is because the groups of the Demonic sects, who do not follow the righteous path and value individual interests and desires rather than ‘chivalry’ and ‘justice’, also boasted a considerable scale.

 

 

 

 

The ‘Black Heaven Alliance’ of the Demonic Murim, located in Sichuan, had about 800 affiliated sects, so if you look at it by itself, it was smaller than the Martial Arts Alliance, but the average skill of individual martial artists was two levels higher than that of the righteous Murim.

Also, even though the number of sects was small, those who basically used weapons had a tendency closer to the Demonic sects than the righteous sects, so each sect had more disciples than the righteous sects.

Therefore, if you look at the number of warriors, it is not much less than that of the righteous Murim.

 

 

The number of warriors is similar, and the average skill is even higher.

Nevertheless, the balance between the righteous and the Demonic is not disturbed because the number of absolute masters is overwhelmingly higher on the righteous side, and the geographical condition that the absolute powerhouse of the current Murim, ‘Sun Moon Divine Church (Demonic Cult)’, is much closer to the Black Heaven Alliance than the Martial Arts Alliance.

 

 

 

The Sun Moon Divine Church is located in the Shiwanda Mountains far away in Xinjiang, and despite the rugged terrain, the group of those who are part of the Sun Moon Divine Church reached a whopping 100,000.

Of course, only the number of warriors used as combat power is 100,000, and other ordinary people will be several times that number. A huge group equivalent to a small country in terms of size.

 

Therefore, when they cross over to the Central Plains, the Demonic and righteous Murim had to join forces, and in the meantime, the Demonic Murim, which was closer, would reach out to the righteous Murim.

 

 

That’s why the relatively strong Demonic side couldn’t recklessly touch the righteous side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you add up the three major forces representing the Murim like this, the number of warriors with martial power exceeds 170,000.

Nevertheless, the Ming Dynasty imperial family and government turned a blind eye, but even if the government and the Murim were ignoring each other, they had no choice but to pay attention if a martial group of this size was created.

No, the imperial family had no choice but to intervene beyond the government. Nevertheless, there were three heavenly fortunes that allowed them to maintain their lives.

 

 

The first was that the Xiongnu invaded across the border from time to time, the second was that the Great Goryeo in the east came to invade the Central Plains every time they forgot, and the third was that the Wa (Japanese) across the sea plundered the coast every time they had a chance.

 

 

 

In other words, the Ming Dynasty government and the imperial family were already exhausted just blocking the foreign Xiongnu and Great Goryeo, so they didn’t have the energy to pay attention to the Murim ‘or anything’.

Even then, they were using the power of the Martial Arts Alliance in the Beggars’ Sect to extract power from the Great Goryeo side.

 

 

 

 

 

In this situation, there was a force secretly aiming for the unification of the Murim.

A group that had penetrated both the righteous and Demonic sects with bizarre tactics and strategies that shook common sense, and built up their power.

And the old man, the leader of the group, was an absolute powerhouse who had reached the Hwagyeong (Transcendent) realm beyond the super-elite with his eccentric martial arts.

 

 

But is this what they call the play of fate?

The old man’s plan to shake the Murim was shattered by Yu-eun, who came from another world.

 

 

 

“This… can’t… be…!”

 

 

He thought that there was no one in the world to compare with him.

He had trained martial arts for 60 years only for the unification of the world, but he was defeated by the stupid-looking kid in front of him in just one move.

 

 

“Old man. What are you going to do being so weak? A man should be strong. Huh?”

 

He was an old man who could put anyone under his feet, but he couldn’t even become a one-second opponent for Yu-eun.

 

“But old man, are you married? Do you have a daughter or something? Then I might spare you.”
