On the outside, nothing has changed.

Mirae Group and I were hit by a huge typhoon overnight.

The appearance that everyone saw was the same without a single error.

But things have changed.

That too obviously.

Mirae Group is still the largest conglomerate in Korea’s business world.

But they lost power.

Dantalion’s knowledge that allowed it to expand beyond Korea and into the world.

They no longer get it.

There are two paths given to them.

Either they fail to achieve new developments and are left behind, or they survive by seeking technological advancement on their own.

Either way, it would be extremely painful.

The former will be tormented by the sounds of decay from the numerous enemies around them.

The latter will involve a tremendous amount of time and resource consumption for technological development.

That wasn’t the only thing that changed.

【Future Group signs sponsorship with Twilight Guild.】

【Chairman Lim Cheol-ho of Mirae Group, which joined hands with the Twilight Guild, revealed that “will not spare any support.”】

【How far can the Twilight Guild fly with wings called capital?】

The true ruler of Mirae Group has changed.

From Dantalion to me.

Sponsorship was a kind of cover for this.

If their funds suddenly leak into me or the guild, and there isn’t even a decent contract, wouldn’t everyone look at it strangely?

Thanks to this, the name of the Twilight Guild became hot once again.

As a result, articles causing unnecessary friction poured in.

【Dawn and dusk, is this the beginning of a generational change?】

【The guild name Twilight was a challenge to the Dawn guild?】

【Son Si-woo and Kim Do-jin, about the two giants of Korea】

As I read the article titles, I naturally clicked my tongue.

“Tsk tsk… , Anyway, our country’s reporters are said to have the best skills in the world to extinguish aggression.”

If they all awaken, our country will be called a tank powerhouse.

“It was expected from the guild’s founding, but… , it’s harsher than I thought.”

The guild name is Twilight.

It was truly the perfect name to become prey for reporters.

Because the name of the No. 1 guild in Korea is Dawn.

And the guild leader who leads them is none other than Son Si-woo.

In fact, the name twilight can be interpreted as Kim Do-jin, the newly rising sun, saying to the sun that is already rising, ‘I will drag you down with my hands.’

Thanks to this, the guild was in an uproar.

Beep!

“No, reporter. Our guild name is by no means a declaration of war against the Dawn Guild… .”

Beep!

“Yes? Who would win if our guild leader and Hunter Son Si-woo fight? How do I know that?”

The guild office is being flooded with phone calls.

Please resolve any suspicions or doubts that are currently being raised.

Isn’t it funny?

They want us to resolve the suspicions created by writing articles of their own accord.

“Why do you ask someone else to clean your poop after you have done it yourself?”

There are literally no flies.

It’s not a threat at all, but it keeps wandering around and annoying people.

“What… , it will fade away sooner or later.”

If you do not add firewood, the fire in the furnace will naturally die out.

The same goes for public interest.

If you do your job silently without any response, your attention will shift to somewhere else.

This world is not boring enough to keep me interested in it.

“Anyway… , I don’t have to worry about money anymore.”

If you need anything, you can ask the Mirae Group.

Now turn your attention elsewhere.

Not outside, but inside.

“Status window.”

A long hologram window appears with a command that seems to have been shouted for the first time in a long time.

[Status Window]

Name: Kim Do-jin

Gender: Male

Age: 23

Height/Weight: 186CM / 88.5KG

[Strength: 101] [Stamina: 101] [Agility: 101] [Magic Power: 105]

Trait: Apostle of Greed

Sub-characteristics: [Gluttony], [Brand of Greed], [Domain of the Ruler], [The Great Body]

[Mutual non-aggression (2022.06.09.~2025.12.31)]

[No disclosure (2022.06.09.~2025.12.31.)]

Strength, stamina, and agility, which were at 99, increased by 2 to 101.

Only a difference of 2.

Some might say that it was the only thing that went up, but that would be wrong.

The difference between the two stairs between 99 and 101 is literally the difference between heaven and earth.

If 99 is the human limit, then 100, a three-digit number, is another realm.

God’s realm… It’s a bit absurd to say that.

What should I say?

So to speak, is this the first step humans take towards God or something transcendent?

You never know.

When his abilities reach 150 or 200, he may truly become a god or something equivalent to it.

What made such a huge difference… , thanks to its evolved characteristics.

Lightly touch the pole body that is taking up the place where the pole pole was.

[Theatrical body]

[Grade: SS]

-Through effort and trials, we succeeded in transcending human limitations.

-Quickly overcomes negative conditions affecting the physical body.

-The recovery and durability of the body increases significantly.

-The efficiency of the body increases by 1.5 times.

-The body does not easily collapse even when strength is used beyond its limits.

-You can grow your body through battles with powerful enemies, transcendent beings, etc.

As I read each long line, I burst out in admiration.

“Wow.”

I’ve seen it a few times already, but it surprises me every time I see it.

It contains all the beneficial effects that can be applied to the body.

Unless you die or suffer an equivalent injury, you cannot even dream of being unable to recover.

The most surprising thing is the last part of the explanation.

It is no exaggeration to say that the limit has been reached when all abilities have reached 101, but the last sentence implies that there is still room for growth.

Of course, there were completely unexpected conditions attached, but this was no problem.

As expected, in order for me to fully survive, I will have to face and defeat countless strong people.

If you look at it that way, it can’t actually be seen as a condition.

Rather, it feels like more battle victory rewards have been added just for me.

“Is the world smiling at me?”

Now I am slowly starting to lose confidence.

Defeat or die.

But you must not let your guard down.

After suppressing my pride, I closed the explanation window for the play delay and removed it.

Move your gaze toward the last part of the status window.

“Umm.”

Two one-sided treaties that came together when the body was stolen.

Disclosure prohibited and mutual non-aggression.

Damn, the treaty that that idiot put up to protect himself ends on December 31st of this year.

“It wasn’t far away.”

Finally, the end began to come into view.

What should I say when I face him properly?

Should I say thank you?

Or should I just start off with a slap in the face to explain the horror of that time?

I think I’ll have to think about it carefully from now on.

Slowly get up from your comfortable chair.

A window with a clear view of Gangnam.

The Magic Tower is located a little away from the road where all kinds of expensive cars are busy.

“… … .”

It’s over there.

One last thing that’s been messing with my head.

“Han Joo-hee.”

Along with Son Si-woo, he is one of the prides of Korea.

The idol of all wizards.

And there is a high probability of joining hands with the villain organization ‘Hexagram’… , renegade.

I was always curious, and I still am today.

Why did she close her heart and push away me, her husband, so much?

Also, why did they join hands with an unknown organization like Hexagram?

What does she truly want?

Although my heart has left, I cannot suppress the keen curiosity I have for her.

You can’t stop paying attention at all.

After all, she is Seoyeon’s mother.

Depending on what steps she takes… , because it will have a big impact on Seoyeon.

“Is there still something you want?”

I want to ask.

Wealth, fame, power.

Even though you have everything, what do you want and what do you want?

How difficult was it to get hold of, so they ended up joining hands with an organization that had no foundation?

I turn my back and take out a book that was stored in a drawer on my office desk.

It was charred here and there, and part of the cover and inside pages were burned away.

“The Book of Dantalion… .”

A treasure of treasures that is said to be able to see the past, present, and future.

Just once before I made a stupid mistake and the book burned to the ground.

I opened the complete Book of Dantalion.

I didn’t want to know anything about it, but it was what I wanted to know the most.

It is unclear which category to place between past, present, and future.

There was only one line of sentence written that did not fit in with the large book at all.

What is its content?

“The person Han Joo-hee loves most in the world is Son Si-woo… ?”

Surprisingly, it was written like that without a single mistake.

And I still don’t understand what this means.
