Twilight Guild’s stock price is soaring every day.

Of course, since it is not listed, the stock price does not really rise.

“Daeshin Corporation requested a meeting regarding collaboration.”

“I don’t want to do it.”

“Yes, I will decline. Next is a meeting for goods-related business… .”

“I don’t want to do that either.”

“Then I will refuse this too.”

To be more precise, his reputation has increased.

When the guild was first established, companies and people who were intimidated by other large guilds wanted to meet them somehow.

What are the disadvantages of a small number of elite guilds?

That has been broken for a long time.

There are two S-class hunters.

Here, Seoyeon applied for a promotion, and the stock price soared again.

If she successfully completes the promotion battle, there will be as many as three S-class hunters in one guild.

S-class hunters are excellent enough to develop their own power.

As such, it is rare in the world for a guild to have three S-class hunters.

Ji-an Yoon, who quit the association and joined the guild as my exclusive secretary, asked me.

“Are you really going to reject all offers?”

“Well, ”

I don’t think I’m that narrow-minded.

Of course, on the other hand, if you ask whether the inside is wide, it is just as embarrassing.

Anyway, I don’t consider all of them my enemies just because they once ignored me.

So why do you refuse?

Because it doesn’t appeal to me.

“I don’t really like the offer. I feel like it’s okay to do everything, it’s okay to not do anything.”

I would do anything if I didn’t have enough money, but that’s not the case.

After hearing the news that my guild members were active in the Sanctuary of Blood, the saintess’s interest in the Twilight Guild increased even more.

So much so that if you just say whatever you want, it will happen in no time.

The saint’s wealth is enormous.

So much so that even the head of a large company cannot easily hand out a business card.

I have someone like that as my sponsor, so is there any need to be inferior to them?

It is better to spend that time training than to waste time on useless things.

“That is certainly true.”

Her eyes become as bright as ever.

“I don’t think it’s just because I don’t like the proposal.”

“… … .”

This is why I don’t like quick-witted secretaries.

It’s just as she said.

Right now, I am preoccupied with other things and my functions have stopped.

Isn’t it obvious where I was distracted?

“Lim Na-eun Hunter… , will you bring it back?”

“That’s right, right?”

The last sight of the guy leaving is vivid in my mind.

It seemed like he was trying his best to cut everything off.

Like a person trying to erase the very fact that he existed in this world.

As if he was planning to disappear after completely isolating himself.

But that can’t be true.

Because she is not pessimistic enough to take her own life, and her life is not in danger.

Then, isn’t there only one answer?

The facade of that family must be suffocating her.

She says again.

“Opponent is Future Group.”

“Yes, I know.”

“And that you can’t predict what will happen next?”

“Of course I know.”

I do not overestimate my strength.

At the same time, we do not look down on the power of Mirae Group.

If I think about it calmly, I might be at a bit of a disadvantage.

Not only did they have financial power, but their military power also seemed considerable.

Last time I saw it, the vice president’s driver was S-class.

“Nevertheless, you are willing to step forward.”

A cold, subdued voice flows through my ears.

I asked her, who had a blunt expression on her face.

“Do you wish I didn’t do it?”

“To be honest… , yes, that’s right.”

Yoon Ji-an seemed to hesitate for a moment, but then nodded.

“If you look at it calmly, the risk is too great compared to the benefit.”

“Of course.”

“Above all, I… , I don’t want the guild leader, no, Mr. Dojin to get hurt.”

Affectionate gaze is directed straight in this direction.

Is it a benefit or a risk?

Even though she said that, the only thing she was worried about was me.

I don’t want you to get hurt.

I don’t want you to get caught up in something dangerous and go wrong.

She opens her mouth again, clutching her heart that has burst out of worry for me.

“They say your hair needs to be dried, but your heart doesn’t.”

A clash between reason and instinct.

“Because I like Dojin like that.”

A ray of smile appears on a face distorted by worry.

“More than anything, I like Dojin who values his people. No matter what happens to me at any time, I have faith that Mr. Dojin will save me.”

“Mr. Jian… .”

She returned to her normal blunt expression and continued speaking.

“So do whatever you want. Please do whatever it takes to bring Hunter Lim Na-eun back.”

However, there is a red stain on both cheeks that cannot be erased.

“If you return safely with Hunter Lim Na-eun… , I will buy it and give you a prize.”

what.

Suddenly, my motivation starts to surge.

“What award?”

“That, that… .”

Yoon Ji-an cannot speak easily with his red face.

She cooled her face several times with a hand fan and continued speaking with difficulty.

“Well, last time… , what you said… .”

“What I said last time… ?”

what.

I think I said more than one or two things.

As I tilted my head, unable to figure out what to do, she closed her eyes tightly and cried out.

“Sa, office desk… !”

Office desk?

“Mi, go downstairs… , We are here to serve you… !”

“Gasp.”

I raise my body like the wind and leave the guild leader’s room.

“I’ll be back soon!”

wait.

My fantasy!

* * *

The stones and floor look as if they were made by roughly carving and removing uneven stones.

I walk absent-mindedly along a road where torches flicker at certain distances.

-“Okay, this way. There isn’t much left.”

Something is constantly whispering in my ear.

-“This way, sister!”

Sometimes in the voice of an innocent boy.

-“kikiki… , can’t wait to come.”

Sometimes in the voice of a kind grandmother.

-“Ohhohohoho! How ecstatic… !”

Sometimes in the coquettish voice of an arrogant woman.

A variety of voices, regardless of gender or age, constantly dazzle her.

At first it was just scary.

I was filled with only fear of the unknown being lurking at the end of this long road.

But not now.

Now I just want to know.

‘Who on earth could it be?’

What is the identity of the being that calls me with so many voices?

The reason why you call me so desperately.

What will your future look like when you reach the end of this road?

The intense curiosity burns away even the fear.

Lim Ji-hoon, who was walking ahead, constantly looked back and examined his younger brother’s expression.

I was curious.

When we encounter something unknown that surpasses even human imagination.

What kind of expression will she make?

Either that or not.

‘little bit more.’

Lim Na-eun walked constantly.

It whispers in my ear.

-“It’s soon.”

-“We can finally meet.”

-“Hold on a little more.”

A young man, a child, and an old man remind us that their destination is not far away.

Eventually, the end of the long road comes into view.

At the end of the road, which was either a cave or a tunnel, was a huge temple.

A huge stone pillar reminiscent of ancient Greece.

A huge roof over it.

Also, statues of all kinds are erected in front of it.

Children, adults, seniors.

men and women.

Each statue with a different appearance was accompanied by a book.

In a child’s arms, on an adult’s hand, between the armpits of an elderly person.

As I approached as if I was possessed, the huge door of the temple that had been tightly shut began to open of its own accord.

Creep… !

The interior, which is as large as the exterior, is gradually revealed.

A long worship chair made of stone.

Various statues standing next to it.

A torch that softly illuminates the surroundings.

Stepping on the red carpet spread between them, we reached the end of the temple.

A being sits on a huge throne in a bored posture.

okay.

An unknown being that can only be expressed in words.

It raises the body.

The height seems to be easily over 3 meters.

Long lace adorning the puffy shoulders and wrists.

An outfit made of colorful fabric that would have been worn by royalty in the Middle Ages.

Several people’s faces lie on the large frill at the neck.

“Welcome.”

A fascinating young woman.

“Hole hole… , It’s finally here.”

A kind-looking grandmother.

“Nice to meet you!”

A kid who looks like a naughty kid.

“Did you boil and eat the slugs? How could it be so late, so late!”

An impatient grandfather.

“But it’s okay. Because it’s not too late.”

A handsome young man.

The heads of people of various genders, old and young, turn one by one to welcome her and scold her.

A chill runs down my spine.

Facing this strange being, she recalled the fear she had forgotten for a while.

“Ah… … , eww… , OMG… … .”

I am so oppressed by fear that even words cannot come out.

Still, it’s really strange.

The more scared I became, the more curious I became.

What is it?

What is the true identity of that being that evokes fear in humans?

Deeper curiosity suppresses fear.

I finally ask.

“Nu… , who… .”

The answer to the unanswered question comes back.

“I am a seeker of knowledge.”

A fascinating woman.

“I am a predator of knowledge!”

An impatient grandfather.

“I can read human minds!”

An innocent kid.

“He is also the one who controls the past, present, and future of this world.”

A handsome guy.

“Finally, that knowledge will widely benefit humans.”

A kind grandmother.

Each person introduces themselves in their own way.

After each face spins around, another face faces her.

“My name is Dantalion.”

A middle-aged man with a crown on top of his voluminous hair.

he.

“He is the savior who will lead ignorant and blind mankind to eternal abundance through knowledge.”

concluded its existence.
