Boring.

Getting used to that feeling is not a good thing.

No matter what you do, your passion disappears, and physical and mental fatigue worsens.

There are many ways to escape boredom.

If it is your job, you need to find a new way to escape burnout, and if it is studying, you need the will to work hard for the future.

But what if it’s the boredom you feel with this world as a whole?

An ordinary person cannot understand the boredom he feels because he has no one who can compare to him.

Every living thing has something it wants to achieve.

Lucifer was quite different from the moment he was born.

I couldn’t find fun in the entertainment that others enjoyed.

I did not want a happy family or a loving lover.

What he is interested in is those who are stronger than him.

And new things you don’t know about.

After Lucifer realized his power, he felt bored every day.

A magical eye that penetrates everything and a naturally strong body.

Even though he is a physical type, he has an overwhelming degree of magical power.

It was a natural result that a creature named Lucifer, born for battle, would become the strongest person in Hell.

There was no one stronger than him in hell.

The position of the devil, his flesh and blood, was already his own, and if he gained the devil’s magic, Lucifer would reign over all living creatures in hell.

Therefore, it took a lot of time for Lucifer to get out of boredom.

No, to be exact, I wasn’t able to escape until recently.

Things that don’t work with the magical eye that I thought was perfect.

That was Lucifer’s new interesting element.

An unknown magical power that arose in the Demon King’s Castle.

For the first time in his life, it was ‘something’ that was invisible to his magical eyes.

However, it was not possible to delve into it deeply, because even Lucifer could not penetrate the seal using the Demon King’s magic power.

“It’s fun. It’s fresh and interesting.”

Lucifer’s magical eye penetrates everything.

Who would have thought that the first living being to destroy that great premise would not be in hell, but in the human world?

Sreuk- . Slurp-.

Lucifer smiled as he checked the personal information about Lee Ho-yeon that the demons had rescued.

Even though he was an orphan, his abilities were the highest among humans.

In particular, his magical power was such that even Lucifer was impressed.

“There’s nothing unusual about your origins. So you’re saying you’re a pure human… but is this a mutation that comes out occasionally?”

Jijijijigi, 100,000 battles are impossible.

Knowing your enemy is the easiest way to win.

There was no need to do such troublesome things in hell, but when dealing with an unknown opponent, it is natural to be prepared.

I wasn’t embarrassed or my pride was hurt.

Rather, I felt interested in the series of investigations.

“Maestro. He was definitely a strange person in some way. But Lee Ho-yeon was nothing special.”

Maestro.

He is a human who called himself into the human world.

If I were to describe him in one word, he would be like an empty shell, with different feelings and actions.

He is a human who sacrificed everything to summon the Demon King.

I was able to understand this only after understanding the human world to some extent.

Every action the Maestro does is unique.

From his way of speaking, to his actions, to his mindset.

Lucifer didn’t even think about understanding him.

But I didn’t ignore it like other humans.

This is because he is also an anomalous being who blocks some of his own magical eyes.

‘We must also uncover the phenomenon of black pillars and dungeon explosions in this world.’

When Lucifer was in Hell.

If he became the Demon King, he planned to first invade the human world.

Since I had nothing more to gain from hell, I wanted to attack another dimension.

Of course, the research on connecting dimensions did not stop, and because Lucifer was also talented in magic, the research proceeded smoothly.

However, the black pillars and the runaway phenomenon of dungeons seen in the human world seemed to mock Lucifer’s research, showing overwhelming performance.

The runaway dungeon is increasingly becoming one with hell.

Some dungeons are now hell.

It wouldn’t be surprising if a demonic beast came out right away.

Black pillars scattered throughout the human world spread the magic of hell and create an environment similar to hell.

Even humans who were wary at first gradually became less wary after realizing that it was not immediately harmful to them.

No, that may also be the intention of the person who created this phenomenon.

“If the being who accomplishes this is not God, then what is?”

The magic power of hell emanates from the black pillar.

And a dungeon that directly connects hell and the human world.

Thanks to those two phenomena, the assimilation of hell is accelerating.

‘Will the Demon King that the Maestro was talking about be summoned soon?’

Every time I talk about the coming of the Demon King, I think of the Maestro’s eyes looking at me.

Those eyes as if they were coveting me… I didn’t like it.

‘If you summon the devil… ‘I’ll be able to see a familiar face after a long time.’

His father suddenly went into seclusion in the Demon King’s Castle.

Thinking of seeing the devil, even the cold-blooded Lucifer is excited… It didn’t work.

‘I don’t necessarily want to summon the devil.’

The reason Lucifer wanted to become the devil was because the boring hell was boring.

The only thing he didn’t get in hell was the position of the devil.

That’s why he coveted the Demon King.

The reason I became interested in the human world was to find interesting things.

Now I am in the human world, and I don’t have to go back to boring hell anymore.

There are many interesting things here that you don’t know yet.

Human growth is astounding, and strong humans may emerge and threaten us.

Lucifer was so looking forward to it.

The Maestro said that the human species should be eliminated from the world.

If the human world is destroyed and becomes a colony of hell, Lucifer will have to return to boring hell.

“If I have to live with the demons of hell again, it would be better to die here.”

I have no interest in the boring demons of hell.

Lucifer nodded while looking at Hoyeon Lee’s information in his hand.

‘What needs to be done is to capture Lee Ho-yeon alive.’

Lucifer shows no mercy to his enemies, but he is the most interesting being in the human world.

Moreover, there is a lot to investigate from the person who is the best at blocking magical eyes.

‘Next is Maestro.’

He clearly has a lot to hide from himself.

I don’t think I’ll lose if I get stabbed in the back, but I don’t want to have the unpleasant experience of being betrayed by a human.

“There’s still a lot of room for Maestro, so first is Lee Ho-yeon.”

Slurp-

Lucifer drew the magical power of hell onto his hand and drew a magic circle.

This is a simplified version of Lee Ho-yeon’s magic circle seen at Victoria Park.

“It is truly a blessing that humans can draw magic circles like this.”

Since Lucifer first checked the magic circle, he went to the park every day to check the magic circle.

The first two days were simply observing the magic circle.

Lucifer’s magical eyes do not interfere with the other person, but only observe them.

Therefore, it leaves no trace.

Because the level of the magic circle was beyond imagination, it took longer than expected.

And today.

After analyzing Lee Ho-yeon’s magic circle, we succeeded in taking control of his magic circle.

Normally, Lucifer’s personality would have killed all of the offending humans that occupied the park, but today he had to be careful.

I hadn’t left any trace so far and I didn’t want to mess things up at the last minute.

To that extent, Lucifer was obsessed with Lee Ho-yeon.

“I guess I’ll just have to wait for the moment to activate the magic circle.”

There is not much left until his wish.

Lucifer raised the corner of his mouth as he brushed off the dust on his tuxedo.

Kang Hyo-rin, who was guarding Victoria Park, tilted her head.

I would appreciate the help, but I thought it was a waste of manpower at this point.

“Do we need the Hoenn cadets to help us? There are enough of us already so I think it will be fine.”

“Um… I guess so.”

Ho-yeon Lee whetted her appetite while looking at Dr. Hyo-rin Kang.

Actually, there is no need to get permission.

I was confident that I wouldn’t get caught even if I sneaked into Victoria Park.

‘But it’s not like there’s no possibility at all.’

If this world had gone the way you wanted, there wouldn’t have been any unnecessary headaches.

Clearing a fake dungeon magic circle takes quite a bit of time.

If you are discovered during this time, things will become very troublesome.

‘If I had permission, I could at least make an excuse.’

Moreover, from the moment you receive permission, you can work with peace of mind.

The Iris guild members all know that Lee Ho-yeon often comes to Victoria Park, so they won’t mind what she does in the corner.

Because there is an invincible excuse called magic research by a genius wizard.

‘Of course I feel uneasy.’

What bothers me a little is that Irene has contacts in the Iris Guild.

Other women might notice my movements.

‘… ‘Wouldn’t it be okay?’

Hoyeon Lee quickly gathered her thoughts.

I thought about it for a while, but I didn’t think I would be suspected just by entering Victoria Park.

From the beginning, you are now subject to suspicion wherever you go.

You have to move quickly and retrieve the magic circle while you have time to think about useless things.

“Hoenn cadet?”

Ho-yeon Lee smiled as she saw Dr. Hyo-rin Kang blinking.

In fact, the moment I said hello to Dr. Hyorin Kang, it was already too late.

For Lee Ho-yeon, the only option left is to get permission.

“Even if it’s not a big help, I want to help. I want to try to replay the battle that happened that day. Are the guild members I saved that day still in there?”

“Ah… I can’t refuse if you say that. The Hoenn cadets saved many guild members. Most of them are still in the hospital, but there are a few people in the park who are in better condition, so go and say hello. Everyone will be grateful.”

“Thank you, Dr. Hyorin Kang.

Kang Hyo-rin rummaged through her pocket and handed over her name tag.

Ho-yeon Lee bowed her head and entered Victoria Park with the pass given by Dr. Hyo-rin Kang hanging around her neck.

‘First of all, let’s say hello… Do it later.’

I need to get audited for an alibi, but the first thing I need to do is retrieve the fake dungeon magic circle.

Hoyeon Lee quickly started heading to the corner of the park.

*

After Lee Ho-yeon entered the park.

Kang Hyo-rin at the entrance slightly turned her head.

“… You really came? It’s amazing.”

Kang Hyo-rin looked at his back as he entered the park.

I had requested that a few days ago, but I had no idea it would actually come.

“It might just be magic research, but Team 1 leader is also a very responsible person.”

Dang. Tididik. Dang.

As soon as Lee Ho-yeon disappeared, Kang Hyo-rin operated the smartwatch.

This is because there was an order from Team 1 leader to report immediately when he entered.

“Is this the power of love? You want to know where your lover is going. I heard that Team 1 leader also has a girlish side.”

Kang Hyo-rin, who sent a secret signal to Irene, smiled and then leaned back against the wall, looking straight ahead again.

Now it’s the beginning of boring times again.

‘It would be nice if someone would come and chat with me. Oh, I wonder if Scarlett will get angry if I tease her about this later… .’

Without even knowing what he had just done.

Kang Hyorin looked blankly at the blue sky.
