    <p>A small rice field and greenhouse were built around the house.</p>

    <p>“The house is a bit small isn’t it? Even though I already suggested building it a little bigger your grandfather said that if it was too big cleaning would be difficult for no reason…”</p>

    <p>Suho listened to Seong Jin-ah’s words from next to him and focused only on his sense of energy.</p>

    <p>The expression on his face was quite serious.</p>

    <p>’…There is no pretense of popularity.'</p>

    <p>Suho’s senses scanned the greenhouses and rice fields centered around his grandfather’s house.</p>

    <p>But no sign of anything was detected.</p>

    <p>’Ber.'</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>Seaaaaak-</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>At Suho’s glance Ber’s shadow quickly stretched out to look around.</p>

    <p>“Oh did you go out again?”</p>

    <p>No matter how many times she rang the doorbell Seong Jin-ah tilted her head as there was no answer.</p>

    <p>But I wasn’t too worried because they went out very often due to farming and other things.</p>

    <p>They were also very honest people for their age.</p>

    <p>“Anyway I’ve never seen you calmly at home? To top it off I even opened a hospital and so far no one has ever come in sick. Of course it’s a fortunate thing but…”</p>

    <p>Seong Jin-ah chuckled and opened the door after entering the front door password she had learned just in case.</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>Tit tt tt tt. Tiririk-</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>“Suho go in first and wait….”</p>

    <p>But the moment the front door opened and their eyes saw the inside of the house.</p>

    <p>Tall.</p>

    <p>Seong Jin-ah and Su-ho’s expressions hardened at the same time.</p>

    <p>“What is this….”</p>

    <p>Moment.</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>My heart was pounding.</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>Blank air.</p>

    <p>Things scattered around.</p>

    <p>Sometimes whenever I stop by my parents’ house which was always neatly kept feels unfamiliar.</p>

    <p>“Huh Mom?”</p>

    <p>Along with a cold feeling digging into a corner of Seong Jin-ah’s heart numerous ominous thoughts passed through his mind.</p>

    <p>“Mom! Are you at home?!”</p>

    <p>Seong Jin-ah whose complexion quickly became pale began to hastily search through the house in search of her parents.</p>

    <p>On the other hand Suho’s eyes wandered looking for something else.</p>

    <p>I knew from the beginning that there was no pretense of popularity here.</p>

    <p>So what you need to look for is….</p>

    <p>’Cellphone.'</p>

    <p>Suho took out his cell phone again and tried calling his grandfather.</p>

    <p>Then the sound of a cell phone was heard from the corner of the living room.</p>

    <p>Grandpa’s cell phone which was plugged into the charger was ringing alone.</p>

    <p>When Seong Jin-ah learned that fact he became thoughtful.</p>

    <p>“Where did you go Dad leaving your cell phone behind?! “Then where is my mom’s cell phone?”</p>

    <p>This time Seong Jin-ah called Su-ho’s grandmother Park Kyeong-hye.</p>

    <p>Unfortunately or fortunately Park Kyung-hye’s cell phone was not found in the house.</p>

    <p>“I see your mom left with her cell phone? “Why did you leave in such a hurry that the house looks like this?”</p>

    <p>But I was equally anxious.</p>

    <p>[Little Lord! I looked in the garage and saw that the car was still parked!]</p>

    <p>Ber happened to be looking around and whispered to Suho.</p>

    <p>With those words Suho went straight outside and checked the garage.</p>

    <p>“Suho Suho! Where are you going?”</p>

    <p>Seong Jin-ah also followed Su-ho out and opened his eyes wide when he found the truck parked neatly in the garage.</p>

    <p>“Why is the car here? “You didn’t even drive the car out?”</p>

    <p>Seong Jin-ah’s expression became even more serious.</p>

    <p>The rice fields stretched around Seong Il-hwan’s house for a long time so it was difficult to go anywhere without a car.</p>

    <p>Suho said looking down at his feet with a scary face.</p>

    <p>“Arsha.”</p>

    <p>[Yes Suho.]</p>

    <p>Arsha’s answer came straight from the shadow dungeon.</p>

    <p>“Are there any worker bees in Yangpyeong?”</p>

    <p>[This is my first time coming to Yangpyeong so there aren’t many. However there are many farms nearby so you can increase it as much as you want.]</p>

    <p>“Start now.”</p>

    <p>[Yes I understand.]</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>Weeeeeeeeng-</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>At that moment the sound of bees flapping their wings was suddenly heard from all directions.</p>

    <p>First Arsha used her self-immolation to check the picture frames hanging in the house.</p>

    <p>And after carefully examining the faces of Suho’s grandfather and grandmother he scattered the worker bees in all directions.</p>

    <p>The worker bees in Yangpyeong began to transform into Arsha’s worker bees every moment.</p>

    <p>But Suho could not feel this relieved.</p>

    <p>The situation was serious enough for the elderly grandparents to simply cut off contact like this.</p>

    <p>But what if there is a possibility that foreign religions are also connected here?</p>

    <p>“Summon Gray.”</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>Shwaaaaagh!</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>A small wolf Gray appeared above Suho’s shadow.</p>

    <p>“…!”</p>

    <p>Seong Jin-ah was momentarily surprised by that sight but calmed down right away because she already knew that Su-ho had awakened through her husband.</p>

    <p>Rather when I saw that a good idea suddenly occurred to me.</p>

    <p>“That’s right! There was a hunter association!”</p>

    <p>Fortunately there was a branch of the Hunter Association not far from here.</p>

    <p>And it had been building a cooperative relationship with Ajin Hospital the best hospital in Yangpyeong for some time now.</p>

    <p>“Suho! My aunt knows an employee at the association! “I’ll ask for help there!”</p>

    <p>While Seong Jin-ah is urgently calling the association.</p>

    <p>“Anything gray is good so look for it. And Rakan are you listening right now?”</p>

    <p>Suho decided to use all the methods he had.</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>[The Fang Lord the king of beasts has his eyes on you.]</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>Rakan’s gaze felt at that moment.</p>

    <p>Suho looked in the direction where the presence was felt and opened his mouth.</p>

    <p>“You know the current situation right? “Can you find out what happened here through the smell of magic?”</p>

    <p>It would be much more efficient to directly serve a dead monarch than to use Gray.</p>

    <p>A deep smile appeared on Rakan’s lips as he realized Suho’s intentions.</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>[The Fang Lord the king of beasts offers a deal in exchange for help.]</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>“What is your proposal again?”</p>

    <p>Anyway dead monarchs had no way of giving help.</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>[The Fang Lord the king of beasts explains that he needs sacrifices to exert his influence.]</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>That was true.</p>

    <p>Originally a dead monarch could not have any influence on the present world.</p>

    <p>However there was a case where it was possible and it was a method called a ‘jesa’ where sacrifices were offered and prayers were made.</p>

    <p>Suho soon understood the situation and nodded obediently saying he understood.</p>

    <p>Anyway the condition Rakan asked last time was to hand over the items that were no longer useful to him to Gray.</p>

    <p>“Okay. What do you want? “Speak quickly because we don’t have time.”</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>[The Fang Lord the king of beasts raises his eyebrows and says that it is not a particularly bad offer for you either.]</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>At that moment Rakan’s presence began to grow.</p>

    <p>It was that time.</p>

    <p>“Suho! “They say you’re in the association now!”</p>

    <p>Suho’s head turned towards the words that came out of the mouth of Seong Jin-ah who was talking on the phone with a serious face.</p>

    <p>“Yes? “Are you a grandmother?”</p>

    <p>“Yes! “This employee personally brought me there in his car?!”</p>

    <p>And at the same time….</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>[The Fang Lord the king of beasts sighs softly.]</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>Rakan’s presence which had been growing steadily faded away.</p>

    <p>Whether that was the case or not Suho’s interest had already moved away from him.</p>

    <p>“Why did your grandmother go to the Hunter Association? “Then your grandfather is there too?”</p>

    <p>“No… that’s exactly why he went.”</p>

    <p>“Yes?”</p>

    <p>Seong Jin-ah answered Su-ho’s question in tears.</p>

    <p>“That’s my dad… your grandfather…”</p>

    <p>Suho shouted with a hardened expression as Seong Jin-ah continued to talk.</p>

    <p>“Grey!”</p>

    <p>“…Crunch!”</p>

    <p>At that abstract command Gray who had been smelling the surroundings inflated his body significantly.</p>

    <p>“Get in!”</p>

    <p>After Suho had Gray ride Seong Jin-ah on his back.</p>

    <p>I immediately started running towards the Yangpyeong branch of the Hunter Association where my grandmother is.</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>***</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>Director Min Dae-seok who was in charge of the Yangpyeong branch of the Hunter Association was a person full of complaints about everything.</p>

    <p>’Is this a personnel change? Is this a demotion?'</p>

    <p>As is the case in any country the Hunter Association had branches established throughout Korea.</p>

    <p>And depending on the characteristics of the jurisdiction the work done by the association’s employees varied greatly.</p>

    <p>Of course the most basic tasks were similar.</p>

    <p>Stabilizing security while the hunter guilds attack the dungeon.</p>

    <p>And since we did not know when and where a gate would occur we searched the area all year round to detect any abnormalities.</p>

    <p>But there was a problem here.</p>

    <p>What if dungeons rarely occur in that jurisdiction no matter how hard you search?</p>

    <p>Will citizens be happy that they can now live with peace of mind?</p>

    <p>There are people with so many different personalities in the world and sometimes there are people who don’t like that comfort and get fed up with it.</p>

    <p>“No why on earth should someone like me waste all of his youth in a countryside like this! Why am I stuck in a place like this…!”</p>

    <p>’…Here we go again.'</p>

    <p>’Look away. If you make eye contact for no reason you’ll get caught again like last time.'</p>

    <p>There is no work.</p>

    <p>There is too much to do without.</p>

    <p>Branch manager Min Dae-seok frequently loses his temper in this peaceful daily life that seems to last forever.</p>

    <p>The only way his subordinates responded to his tantrums was to do their best to pretend not to notice.</p>

    <p>But the biggest problem that made them sigh was that he wasn’t really doing this because he had no work.</p>

    <p>’There is no work…'</p>

    <p>’Complaints keep coming in.'</p>

    <p>’That’s because most cases are handed over to the police station because they say it’s not under their jurisdiction.'</p>

    <p>The employees who were familiar with Branch Manager Min Dae-seok’s usual work style just sighed quietly.</p>

    <p>But if you think about it again there were some areas where it was difficult to blindly blame Min Dae-seok.</p>

    <p>Only two years have passed since the Hunter Association was established.</p>

    <p>When an accident occurs in the jurisdiction the work of the police and the work of the hunter association have not yet been completely separated.</p>

    <p>It is literally a nose ring when worn on the nose and an earring when worn on the ear.</p>

    <p>But no matter how much you face a boss like this someone has to have courage in the end.</p>

    <p>“That branch manager… Park Kyung-hye is outside.”</p>

    <p>“What? Why did that old lady come again?! “Go to the police station!”</p>

    <p>Min Dae-seok who happened to be yawning profusely at the time widened his eyes as soon as he heard those words.</p>

    <p>The employee continued in embarrassment saying he knew this would happen.</p>

    <p>“Oh no. This time we brought it with us. After investigating it seems clear that Seong Il-hwan is missing…”</p>

    <p>“So we have to go to the police station!”</p>

    <p>“….”</p>

    <p>“Ha. I got it I got it. So when and where did the old man disappear?”</p>

    <p>The employee couldn’t help but sigh inwardly at Min Dae-seok’s words.</p>

    <p>’If you know that it’s not a disappearance.'</p>

    <p>“If you know that it’s not a disappearance.”</p>

    <p>’…Huh?'</p>

    <p>At the sudden cold voice the employee was taken aback as if his own thoughts had come out of his mouth.</p>

    <p>But fortunately it wasn’t what he said.</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>Cugugugugugugugu…!</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>“…!”</p>

    <p>“…?!”</p>

    <p>At that moment a tremendous presence suddenly weighed down the air behind the employee.</p>

    <p>There… stood the guardian exuding such fierceness that the association building shook.</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>[Use ‘Skill: Life’.]</p>

    <p>[Use ‘Skill: Life’.]</p>

    <p>[Use ‘Skill: Life’.]</p>

    <p>….</p>

    <p><br></p>

    <p>Branch manager Min Dae-seok who was directly exposed to that horrible life turned pale and shouted.</p>

    <p>“Who is it?!”</p>

    <p>At that moment his body suddenly became stiff and began to float in the air.</p>

    <p>And then Suho walked in front of him and checked the name tag hanging around his neck with a sad expression.</p>

    <p>And….</p>

    <p>The other ‘necklace’ he wears along with it.</p>

    <p>“He’s the branch manager….”</p>

    <p>Creepy.</p>

    <p>Why does that simple word give me goosebumps?</p>

    <p>The association’s employees simultaneously raised their magic at the sudden and terrifying sight.</p>

    <p>’Be a villain!'</p>

    <p>“…The villain has invaded!”</p>
