Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 134



Episode 134

-Woo Jin-cheol?

A newscaster once interviewed officials about a person named Woo Jin-cheol.

Then the officials would ask this first.

-What are you asking about before and after the cataclysm?

And this answer was the same no matter who I asked.

If you were to ask Woo Jin-cheol what kind of life he had lived until now the answer would be drastically different before and after the cataclysm.

-Woo Jin-cheol was originally the chief of police until the cataclysm. It was the Central Police Station maybe?

The Central Police Station was a very legendary place among police officers.

This is because it has been the police station with the highest criminal arrest rate in the country for over 20 years.

Of course the person who created that legend was not Woo Jin-cheol.

At that time there was a legendary detective called ‘Ghost’ in the homicide department of the Central Police Station.

The arrest rate is a whopping 200 percent.

Any violent criminal or gangster would turn into a docile sheep in front of the ‘ghost’ who was said to catch not only the cases he was in charge of but also criminals of past cases that remained unsolved.

However even though he achieved such great feats he was also an unusual person who consistently refused promotions.

Even the reason for the rejection was absurd.

To concentrate on the field.

To catch more criminals directly.

The name of the police officer who said this obvious but obvious statement and continued to be a homicide detective is ‘Seong Jin-woo.’

He was currently a shadow lord waging war with the Italim in outer space.

And Woo Jin-cheol was Seong Jin-woo’s immediate supervisor and closest colleague who followed him around since he was a high school student and even made him take the police exam.

And thanks to Seong Jin-woo’s always passing the blame on to Woo Jin-cheol Woo Jin-cheol ended up getting promoted at a rapid rate all by himself.

And eventually when I became the chief of police.

There were many people who were jealous of him and gossiped about him behind his back.

-A person who was promoted by selling out a colleague.

-Why do you take care of your subordinates’ performance?

-Didn’t Detective Seong Jin-woo catch some kind of weakness in Woo Jin-cheol?

However the people who gossiped about him behind his back stopped saying such things again after having a private meeting with Seong Jin-woo one day.

However after that other rumors began to circulate.

The person in power at the Jungbu Police Station is Detective Seong Jin-woo.

Of course that was the case from the beginning so it wasn’t anything new.

In fact there were more than one person who witnessed Woo Jin-cheol always treating Seong Jin-woo who was his direct subordinate with courtesy.

But at some point the incredibly famous Jungbu Police Station stopped being talked about by police officers.

Exactly at that point was when Detective Seong Jin-woo suddenly started absenteeism.

-There were a lot of rumors. That ghost detective went missing that he hit a police officer that he went on a long vacation… But what was that detective’s name?

But strangely enough the name of the ghost detective was never known to the general public.

I don’t know if it was because he wanted it but strangely enough the only name that appeared in the media was always the three letters Woo Jin-cheol.

However the name Seong Jin-woo was so famous among his fellow police officers that his sudden absence gave rise to numerous rumors.

However Police Chief Woo Jin-cheol simply treated Seong Jin-woo’s absence as ‘on leave’ without any explanation.

As if he naturally believed that he would return someday.

And so…

The name Seong Jin-woo was quickly forgotten by his colleagues.

It had to be that way.

Because the empty space left by Seong Jin-woo’s disappearance was too big.

All the detectives at the Jungbu Police Station who had been solving cases with ease thanks to Seong Jin-woo were busy running around trying to prevent accidents from happening here and there.

-And around that time a cataclysm suddenly occurred.

The interview with the relevant person started now.

-And at the same time as the cataclysm Woo Jin-cheol revealed his true colors.

With the cataclysm no one stopped believing the rumor that he had been promoted thanks to his subordinates.

-I don’t know but Woo Jin-cheol is probably the person who woke up the fastest in our country right?

It was like that.

A cataclysm during that turbulent period when gates and demonic beasts suddenly appeared all over the Earth.

Woo Jin-cheol who was the police chief at the time awakened his magical powers faster than anyone else.

But more than anything the reason people revered him as much as he does now was none other than his actions after his awakening.

Like other awakened people Woo Jin-cheol never looked surprised or embarrassed that he had a special ability.

Rather like a fish in water I just naturally began to use that power as if it was there.

And although this fact was not known to people he actually calmly closed his eyes upon awakening and measured his own strength.

“…A level? “It’s the same as before.”

At this time the United States had not yet announced hunter ratings based on horsepower.

Even before horsepower meters were developed he was able to estimate his horsepower rating from the beginning.

It was natural.

This is because he was a person who awakened all his memories of his past life under the influence of Seong Jin-woo decades ago.

Before the cataclysm those memories were useless but when the Earth suddenly became a hunter era like in the past he literally became a hunter for the second time in his life.

And at the same time Woo Jin-cheol realized the seriousness of the situation.

‘You’re in big trouble. The Earth has become like this again but Hunter Seong Jin-woo is not there.’

Even before the cataclysm I knew that Seong Jin-Woo often went somewhere to stop the enemies of the other world.

Each time I would assist him by giving him vacation or leave of absence.

But this time for some reason Seong Jin-woo has not returned for several years.

But he didn’t lose hope.

‘Hunter Seong Jin-woo will definitely come back. Then until then I… let’s do what I can.’

It was from then on.

Woo Jin-cheol began to move in earnest using memories of his past life.

Immediately after the cataclysm.

At that time not only demonic beasts but also awakened people were mushrooming and the world was in chaos due to numerous incidents and accidents.

Woo Jin-cheol who was the police chief at the time mobilized his power and all his connections to establish the ‘Hunter Association’.

He then became the first president of the association and began negotiations with government officials.

-Perhaps our country was the fastest in the world to establish a hunter association?

– Thanks to this the Hunter Act was revised very quickly.

Creating a new law required numerous procedures and time.

Chairman Woo Jin-cheol who clearly knew this passed the most important laws step by step.

One of them was the ‘Villain Punishment Act’ which caused the most chaos in society immediately after the cataclysm.

And using that law he began to eliminate villains who were swayed by power and caused accidents.

‘It’s a pain for the demonic beasts too so humans shouldn’t fight among themselves.’

Of course even in this life it was difficult to eliminate all the villains with the power of Woo Jin-cheol who was only an A-level player.

but.

‘Just make up for the lack of strength.’

He decided to recruit the S-class hunters from his memory as the first step to strengthening the power of the association.

In particular the S-class hunter who was nicknamed ‘the ultimate weapon’.

He succeeded in becoming friends with ‘Choi Jong-in’ the guild leader of Korea’s No. 1 guild by pretending it was a coincidence even before he awakened his magical powers.

The moment he became an S-class hunter again he politely handed out his business card.

“Will you be my partner to protect justice for this country and the world?”

“…All right.”

From that day on Choi Jong-in began working as an S-class hunter representing the Korean Hunter Association.

Thanks to Woo Jin-cheol’s performance Korea which was in chaos was able to quickly regain stability.

The speed was so incredible that it was recognized around the world and Woo Jin-cheol the president of the association rose to stardom.

-National hero Woo Jin-cheol!

However he was never swayed or infatuated by the attention and popularity showered on Woo Jin-cheol.

Rather the fact that he only focused on what he was doing as if it was no big deal was even more appealing to the public.

It was natural.

Woo Jin-cheol is truly a hunter for the second time in his life.

In particular in his previous life he was an experienced worker who became the president of the association as the successor to Go Kun-hee.

As if he were born to become the president of the association he was very skillful and skillful in rallying hunters and organizing security.

At this point no one in the Republic of Korea could deny that he was a national hero.

His strength was still only that of an A-class hunter but even S-class hunters did not dare to show their cards in front of him.

-The path that Association President Woo Jin-cheol has taken over the past two years as a national government official hunter is the history of the Korean hunter world.

Finally the official who responded to the interview request left these words and disappeared.

And after finishing the interview the newscaster nodded with a satisfied expression and made the next comment.

-This concludes the interview. The next news is about Jisan Prison. Jisan Prison is a specialized villain detention center established by the Hunter Association two years ago…

“Woo Jin-cheol has become the president of the Korean association. thank god.”

Cha Hae-in who came out of the glacier dungeon and checked the news about Korea on the Internet breathed a sigh of relief.

If it was an association created by Woo Jin-cheol Korea would be at ease.

I couldn’t even imagine all the effort and hardship he must have prepared over the past two years to fill Sung Jin-woo’s empty spot.

Cha Hae-in who felt somewhat heartbroken gave advice to Su-ho.

“Woo Jin-cheol is an old friend who knows about your father. He is currently providing aid to North Korea so please meet him as soon as he returns and inform him of the situation. “You will get a lot of help.”

“…Then what about your mother?”

Suho sensed something strange in his mother’s words and looked at his mother’s face with a stern expression.

“I can’t go with you.”

Surprisingly Cha Hae-in was planning to re-enter the glacier dungeon that he had difficulty escaping from.

Cha Hae-in said with a pitiful expression stroking the head of Kaisel who had shrunk to the size of a parrot and was sitting quietly on his shoulder.

“If things continue like this Kaisel will soon disappear. “I can’t leave it like that.”

Drake Kaisel was a precious being who protected him for the past five years.

So the place that Cha Hae-in was about to leave again was the deep part of the Echo Forest where ‘gray snow’ was falling.

“Surprisingly the further we went into that gray snowy place the more Kaisel’s depleted strength was replenished little by little.”

[The reason may be because… those gray eyes are actually dragon ash.]

Cha Hae-in nodded at Ver’s words.

“that’s right. i think so too.”

Cha Hae-in still remembered the story Sung Jin-woo once told him while watching white snow fall from the sky.

Yongje one of the most threatening enemies in Seong Jin-woo’s life.

The day when all the numerous light dragons under the dragon emperor’s command were slain.

The gray ashes of countless dragons falling from the sky come to mind when I look at the white snow falling from the sky.

“And beyond those gray eyes…”

[There will be a dimensional crack leading to the tomb of the dragons.]
