I stared blankly at the remote receiver Distance, which was printing out Belin’s name.

‘Now that you’ve come? You haven’t contacted me even once until now, but now you’re imprisoning me and now you’re shamelessly contacting me?’

The reason for contacting me was obvious even without looking at it. Because I was the first person to clear the Red Gate in the Peren Empire, and at the same time, I was the one who cleared the most. He even had the most related knowledge, so he was probably contacting me asking for help.

‘Of course, I may have other business to attend to.’

I’m not Belin, so I don’t know what she’s thinking. But one thing is for sure, no matter what reason she called, I had nothing to say to her.

When I pressed the disconnect button on the distance, Bellin’s phone call was immediately disconnected.

‘I’m just offended for no reason.’

A moment when you feel annoyed.

Quang!

Quang!

The sound of someone knocking on the door of the bomb shelter was heard. Are you human? Or is it a monster? It doesn’t matter either way.

After throwing the Distance in the center of the shelter, I grabbed the sword in the corner and walked over.

-Kkii profit…

As soon as I hear the door open, I see monsters surrounding me.

“ Krulk …. ”

There are about 5 monsters pouring out of the Red Gate and are gathered in my air raid shelter. There was no way that something as retarded as an ogre would find my bomb shelter.

Sure enough, when I looked ahead, I saw a slender girl trembling and surrounded by ogres.

“What are you?”

“Please…please save me…”

It seems that the girl, whose life was in danger due to the monsters that came out of Red Gate, accidentally discovered the bomb shelter and knocked.

“How did you know there was someone there?”

“Mo…I didn’t know! There was a place that looked like a shelter, so I just knocked on it just in case…!”

I turned around and checked the bomb shelter again. It was probably built to protect against low-intelligence monsters, so if you go a little inside, a huge iron door clearly reveals that this is a bomb shelter. There was no problem in avoiding monsters, but I thought that repairs should be made as there may be situations like now where people get involved.

“Tell me why I need to save you.”

I made up my mind. From now on, I won’t help anyone without getting anything in return. Even the people at Leos Gallery who have supported me in the past don’t know.

“Food…! We have food! I’ll give you everything I have!”

“I can pick up that much after you die, right?”

“…”

For a moment, the girl’s mouth was covered. And the girl looked at my face for a moment and spoke as if she was surprised.

“Leos…You are Leo, right?”

A haggard face. He looked different from before because his hair was much longer than before, but since he was a famous person, I wasn’t surprised to recognize his face. However, the backstory was interesting.

“I…I’ve been a fan of Leos for a long time…Leos…I’ve been posting regularly on Leos Gallery…”

I flinched as soon as I heard her words. There are not many fixed nicknames used for writing in Leos Gallery. I wondered who she was among them.

“Food is enough. I felt bad, but it turned out okay.”

Leaving her behind, he slowly walked forward holding his sword. They slowly formed a circle and began to surround me on all sides, as if to keep me in check.

The object is an ogre warrior. There were a total of five monsters holding large axes in their hands. As soon as they saw me, they jumped forward and swung their axes. But it was meaningless.

Phew!

The first ogre warrior dodged the swinging axe and at the same time plunged his sword into the creature’s abdomen. Afterwards, the guy lost his axe, so I held it in my hand and threw it straight at the guy’s head behind me, then ran forward.

Wow!

With the sound of something being torn apart, the ogres lost their heads one by one and fell to the ground. Completely separated from their bodies, they have become lumps that can no longer be called living creatures.

Five dangerous class B monsters appeared at Red Gate. It only took about 10 seconds to kill them all.

After the last ogre fell to the ground, the girl next to her opened her mouth and sighed.

“Wow…you’re really strong…I’ve never seen you before…someone who catches monsters so easily.”

After saying that, the girl quickly came to her senses and thanked me.

“Thank you so much. Thanks to you, I survived…”

“What is your ID?”

“Yes…?”

When I spoke, she tilted her head with an expression of confusion. I thought it would be long if I talked about it here. First I talked to her.

“Come in first. If the monsters keep flocking, it becomes a headache for no reason.”

*

He brought the girl with him and entered the shelter. She looked around and spoke as if she was quite surprised.

“There are more resources than I thought. Did you know this would happen and prepare for it?”

“This place was established in the past. I just used what was left lying around, so I didn’t really touch it.”

“I see…It’s Leos, after all.”

I handed her a plastic bottle from the corner as if I was throwing it.

“You said you were doing Leos Gallery.”

“Uh…? Do you know Leos Gallery?”

“I found out a while ago. What is your nickname?”

Then the girl spoke to me.

“Shall we meet?”

“…”

After hearing her words and taking a fighting stance, the girl was startled and held out her hand to show distance.

“Fight…I’m not saying let’s fight, that’s my nickname. Let’s fight…”

I was a little taken aback by the name that didn’t match her face at all, but I took her distance and started checking the posts and comments she had written one by one.

[Shall we hit it off?]

Title: Is this the gallery where Leos is philandering?

Text: I started fantasizing after seeing it on the news. Is this a place like that?

ㄴ Jutak: ㅇㅇ That’s right

ㄴ Juttak: Notice must be read ㄱ

[Tap]

Title: Leo was the first to subdue the Red Gate.

Main text: Photo of Leo’s first subjugation of Red Gate.jpg

Shall we hit it off: Wow! The photo came out great! Can I save this?

ㄴJuttak: ㅇㅇ Use whatever you want.

Surprisingly, I saw some posts about my close relationship with Juttak. I glanced through the gallery before Alma, but there were so many posts that I left behind so I don’t remember them all. But as I looked at the nickname and checked the posts one by one, I began to remember little by little.

‘I thought the nickname was unique. ‘That was him.’

Actually, it doesn’t matter who this person is. Was I at least a friendly person before the incident occurred, and furthermore, did you trust me even after the incident occurred? This was because only two things were important.

I promised myself that I would not save anyone without anything in return.

However, I didn’t do anything for them, but I didn’t mind rescuing people who voluntarily liked me and trusted me without any compensation.

In a way, this was no different from a list of survivors. I planned to help those working at Leos Gallery in any way I could.

The whole world betrayed me, but people whose names I didn’t even know believed in me and supported me.

“Well…Anyway, could you give me an autograph or something? I can’t really feel it right now because I’m so nervous…and I’ll give you all the food in the bag! Because I promised…”

I looked at her in silence for a moment, then handed her some beef jerky in the corner.

“There’s a lot to eat, so take what’s in your bag and eat beef jerky. From now on, there won’t be many places where you can get meat.”

“Thank you so much…”

“Where to go?”

“I can’t be a nuisance to Leos, so I’m going to leave right away… I need to find a place to stay quickly… ”

“I scouted the surroundings the other day, and there are quite a few vagabonds and looters. It’s dangerous, so stay here for a while.”

“I…is that really okay? I haven’t done anything… If you let me stay here, I’ll at least get some food from outside…! Because monsters become less active late in the day…!”

To be honest, I was a little taken aback by her reaction. I am now publicly branded in the Peren Empire as a criminal who sexually harassed his own student. How could she trust me so much when she was sentenced to direct imprisonment? How can they act so calmly even when they are alone together?

The reason was simple. Because there was something similar in her comments from the beginning.

[ㅇㅇ] [155.111]

Title: This gallery is still maintained.

Main text: Shouldn’t it be blocked by the Feren Empire? Why do you defend criminals?;;

ㄴMajjangtteutka: Why do you feel sorry for someone as strong as Leos, who closes all gates with good intentions, and then harasses you? You’ll meet a truckload of people who like you! Please think with common sense!

ㄴJuttak: Majjangttekkanim. Dong Dong Ignore that bastard, he’s a weird guy. I just blocked him.

‘Even the students I taught didn’t believe in me.’

For some reason, a part of my mind started to feel strange. I didn’t just say that she believed in me through words, but because I felt like this girl really believed in me.

“What is your name?”

“It’s Herecia! But is it really okay for me to be here? I…I’m good at cooking! Then, shall I at least cook? No…there’s no way in the bomb shelter where you can cook…then I’ll take care of…cleaning…?”

I left her struggling behind and looked at Distance.

[Belin: I didn’t receive a call, so I’m leaving a message. Please receive it when confirmed. I have something to explain… I don’t think it’s something I should say through text.]

I thought about it for a while and then sent her a reply.

[I’m not curious, so go away, and don’t send me any more messages. Because I will block it]

I immediately blocked her contact information and thought about it. No matter what my actions are in the future, I will not provide any help to those who betrayed me and did not trust me.

Even if they die.

Unfortunately, less than a week has passed since the gate officially opened. Red Gate becomes stronger as time passes. I decided to see how I could block it without my own abilities.
