Prologue. [ D – 100 ]

Shortly after the first gate appeared, the world was plunged into chaos.

The army, which was equipped with modern weapons, appeared helpless at the gates that were created in random order, and humanity had to spend endlessly difficult days waiting for the day it would be destroyed.

But.

After they appeared, the tide was turned upside down.

The gate, which was eroding the earth at a frightening speed, was completely attacked by talented people called ‘Hunters’.

Humanity, led by talented people, soon came to dominate the gate, and a new era was ushered in with near-infinite resources and new technologies developed every day.

Unaware of the impending danger… .

‘… It was such a setting.’

Unsurprisingly, this was a world created with such a setting.

A world in a web novel that has the setting of a gate and a hunter.

I forgot about it for a while thanks to the pouring work, but I was living in such a place.

[ Another runaway, is the gate really safe? ]

As I scanned the article that appeared on the monitor, I buried myself deeply in the chair.

“… … .”

The gate, which had been quiet for several decades, has already caused a runaway twice.

Fortunately, it didn’t turn into a big incident thanks to the quick suppression, and people didn’t seem to pay much attention… .

‘It’s a real start.’

This means that the world has finally reached the beginning of the novel, and that everything I’ve done so far has not been in vain.

The novel that I possessed, ‘I became the strongest master’, began with a content alluding to a gate runaway incident.

The story is about the protagonist who accidentally gets caught up in a runaway, saves a citizen, awakens his true power, and gradually grows up to protect the world and fight against evil… .

Perhaps the author has suddenly gone crazy, or the main character grows into the strongest person in the world and at the same time turns the earth into an uninhabitable land, and kills all his colleagues who have been with him in blood and sweat.

What would you do if you saved the world?

The protagonist, whose eyes have turned, literally disassembles the villain, and then takes his own life, and the novel ends.

Forced ending with forced sweet potato.

The author had to receive countless comments and messages from readers, and of course, my notes and comments were mixed.

Because of those comments, I wonder if I may have possessed this novel… .

“… … .”

Anyway, we have finally entered the main story of the novel, so soon the original protagonist will encounter the first case, and the story will begin in earnest.

My goal is to survive in this world where a future without dreams and hopes is fixed.

To be honest, I’m a little scared because it’s something I’ve never experienced before… .

I’m not that worried either.

Because I’ve already raised all the main characters.

A bad start (1)

“One minute until power ranking update!”

The office, which was noisy at the sound of one staff member, became quiet in an instant.

Everyone held their breath and looked at the monitor on one wall… .

[ Updating… … ]

The monitor screen, which was continuing the update work, was reversed, and a new power ranking list was announced.

[ 1st Joo-hee Seol (Affiliation: Queens) – ]

[ 2nd Yura Hong ( Affiliation : Queens) – ]

[ 3rd Arin Lim ( Affiliation : Queens) – ]

… …

… …

No ranking change.

This time, it was always number one.

“Wow!!!! 1st place!”

“Congratulations!!!”

“congratulations!”

The staff claps like thunder and celebrates with joy as if it was my job.

I quietly turned the chair and looked at the girls standing in the center of the celebration.

“Thanks for all your help!”

Arin Lim, who took third place in the power ranking.

With long curly silver hair and a lovely appearance, she was giving thanks with a bright face.

“Everyone worked hard.”

Hong Yu-ra, who is ranked second in the power ranking, sits next to Lim A-rin.

She had a mature appearance with her red hair curled up and an explosive body, and she was greeted by the staff around her with an elegant smile as if she was familiar with it.

and… .

“It’s not fun.”

She leaned on the sofa with an arrogant posture and looked at the monitor indifferently.

Seol Joo-hee, the main character of the glorious power rankings.

With long, smooth black hair that goes down to his waist and a rather sharp appearance, he is the real hero of this world.

‘There is no change.’

I breathed a sigh of relief at the sight of the three safely taking the top spot.

According to the original novel, Seol Joo-hee at this point should be an ordinary F-class capable person, and Hong Yu-ra and Lim A-rin, who will later join as colleagues, should also have a much lower rank.

But now, the three are already the strongest in the world in name and reality.

From the start, the development was completely different from the original.

What I was most worried about while growing them up until now is whether the development that is different from the original will really affect the world.

Of course, if it doesn’t affect anything, there’s no problem.

If there is a power inflation and the enemies get stronger… .

‘Then it’s really over.’

Fortunately, from what I have observed so far, the enemies seem to follow the setting in the novel.

If there is nothing special, you will be able to defeat the final boss without difficulty.

‘okay… . Then that’s it.’

I hope that this world without dreams and hopes will welcome a peaceful future.

After all, I gave up on going back to the original world for a long time.

I have been living in this world for 15 years.

It means that it took 15 years to get to the beginning of the novel from falling here in the first place.

At one time, I couldn’t accept my reality and thought I wanted to go back to my original world… .

“… … .”

I hope you are in such deep thought for a moment.

“Mr. Jihyeok.”

Someone came up to me and quietly talked to me.

“This time, it’s number one. congratulations.”

It was Queens’ schedule manager, Kim Eun-young.

She spends a lot of time with the executive producer, and she is one of those rare people who recognizes my hard work.

“thanks. Eunyoung also suffered.”

Kim Eun-young has a beautiful smile while gently raising the corners of her lips as if responding to my smile.

Then, he glanced at the three people in the center of the office, and secretly leaned towards me and secretly spoke to me.

“Are you having dinner today?”

It was about attending the meeting.

“I do not know… .”

In the past, whenever the rankings were announced, everyone had a dinner together.

However, recently, there has been little to no dinner party, and the trend has changed to enjoy the joy of gathering with those who want.

“I don’t think I will do this again.”

“ah… .”

Kim Eun-young sighed with a sad expression on her face, and then gently put her hand on my chair and spoke.

“I was really looking forward to today… . I am so sorry.”

She took a deep breath and showed a disappointment.

By doing this, it means that you want something.

‘cute.’

I burst into laughter at her cute appearance, who was two years older than me, and I glanced at her softly and frowned.

“Want to have a party?”

“of course… .”

That moment.

“hey. Do Ji-hyuk!”

The conversation was interrupted by someone’s call.

“… ?”

The gaze of the staff gathered in an instant.

Kim Eun-young glanced at the main character of the voice, and with a strangely regretful expression, spread the distance slightly, and I crossed the office and watched her striding towards her.

“… … .”

It was Seol Joo-hee.

“Have dinner today.”

“… suddenly?”

“Isn’t it that you don’t like it?”

“No, it’s not… .”

Seol Joo-hee, with her arms crossed arrogantly, for some reason glanced at Kim Eun-young, then looked down at me again and gave instructions confidently.

“Today we are going to do it at my house, so go ahead and prepare it yourself. okay?”

To have a dinner party at home means to have a dinner party with only 4 people without staff.

‘What’s going on?’

I gladly answered her suggestion that we all get together after a long time.

Seol Joo-hee quietly turned her gaze away as if satisfied with my answer, and for some reason she glanced at Kim Eun-young again and hinted at me.

“I’m going to talk to the manager, so I’m going with the kids first.”

“With the manager? What’s going on?”

I reacted sensitively to the story of Seol Joo-hee having a separate interview with the manager.

The hunter team ‘Queens’, which I was in charge of, is under the Cheonhwa Guild established by Cheonhwa Group, a major conglomerate.

As a result, I tend to interfere in various ways from above… .

Most of them are cut off my line, so I often made suggestions directly to the team members without going through me.

“Well, you’re asking me to do something weird again.”

“Joohee… .”

“know. You’ll be fine, don’t worry.”

As if Seol Joo-hee had read my concerns, he waved his hand not to worry, and I had no choice but to trust that she would deal with it well.

Moving on to Seol Joo-hee’s house.

I was waiting for Seol Joo-hee with Hong Yu-ra and Lim A-rin preparing a celebration party.

“Why don’t you come here… ?”

Arin Lim, who had changed into a cute nightgown, hugged the cushion and leaned on my shoulder,

Hong Yu-ra, who was reading a magazine while changing into a thin one-piece, said while waving her pale bare feet.

“You’re not the kind of kid who can be abused by anyone, right? Don’t worry too much.”

That was correct.

There is nothing more useless than worrying about Seol Joo-hee.

Who would dare to tamper with Seol Joo-hee, who is the strongest in the world in name and reality?

Not to mention, she’s not bubbly enough to forcefully accept what she doesn’t want to do.

“It is, but… .”

at that time.

Suck–

Lim Arin, who was leaning on her shoulder, gently placed her hand on my knee.

Then, he raised his index finger and began to gently scratch my knee with his fingernail.

“… … .”

It was always a little prank.

I quietly grabbed her hand and scratched her strangely itchy knee.

Then, Arin Lim giggled and pulled out her hand to speak.

“I’ll contact Joo-hee!”

“… will you? Joo-hee takes your calls well.”

Empowered by Hong Yu-ra’s sympathy, Lim A-rin quickly grabbed her phone and made eye contact like a child asking for permission.

“Try it.”

“yes!”

Just as Arin Lim, who even got my permission, unlocked her phone to make a call… .

Bang-!

Suddenly, a roar was heard from the front door.

“!”

The owner of the house has finally arrived.

“They said that even a tiger would come if I said something… .”

Leaving behind Hong Yu-ra’s laughter-filled words, I went straight to the front door to meet Seol Joo-hee.

Seol Joo-hee had arrived there as expected… .

“… … .”

For some reason, her expression hardened coldly.

‘What happened?’

Having guessed at once that there was a problem in the interview with the manager, I approached her carefully so as not to provoke her.

“I’m here?”

That moment.

Suck–

Seol Joo-hee slowly lifted her head and began to stare at me through the flowing hair.

“… Are you Juhee?”

Her cold eyes trembled softly.

It looked like he was angry all the way to the tip of his head, and it felt like it would explode if he touched it.

gulp-

Feeling intimidated for nothing, I swallowed saliva involuntarily, and I looked into her eyes and tried to talk to her again.

“… let’s get in Come on in, let’s talk together.”

After standing still for a while and staring at me, Seol Joo-hee quietly turned her eyes away and stepped into the house, and we headed to the living room where the team members were waiting.

“Come on!”

“Are you late?”

Lim Ah-rin and Hong Yu-ra greet them warmly as if they haven’t noticed yet.

Seol Joo-hee took a seat in the center of the living room, throwing away her bag and coat, without even paying attention to them, and I gently explained to the two that Seol Joo-hee was not feeling well.

“Didn’t that manager do something strange again?”

“Maybe… .”

As if the two of them are used to it, they don’t take it seriously and have a brief conversation.

The moment he tries to take a seat next to Arin Lim to ask the question.

“hey.”

Seol Joo-hee’s cold voice resounded low.

“Do Ji-hyuk.”

Sitting on the edge of the sofa, she quietly lifted her head and looked up at me.

“What are you?”

At first, I was told something I didn’t understand.

“me?”

“Hey, hey, hey. what’s the matter… .”

“Seol Joo-hee. Why are you suddenly angry?”

A-rin Lim and Yu-ra Hong carefully intervened for me, but Joo-hee Seol ignored the two of them and spoke again with cold anger.

“What the hell have you been doing?”

Slightly bewildered by the sudden and unknown anger, I questioned it carefully.

“Hey Juhee. what to say now… .”

right then

“Do Ji-hyuk!!!!!!”

Seol Joo-hee got up from her seat in anger and ran up to me in an instant and grabbed me by the neck.

“Ugh… .”

“Lord, Juhee! What is this!”

“Seol Joo-hee! Are you crazy!? Why all of a sudden!?”

The two people were startled and tried to remove Seol Joo-hee, but Seol Joo-hee was furious.

My throat was drowsy and I breathed hard and tried to talk.

“Hey, what suddenly… .”

Then Seol Joo-hee sharply sharpened her teeth and started telling shocking stories.

“I heard it all. What kind of things have you been doing without our knowledge… !”

“Wow, what… .”

“Abominable bastard. You deceived and deceived us like that, didn’t you think we wouldn’t be found out for the rest of our lives?”

‘… What?’
