Solo Leveling: Ragnarok – 83

Episode 83
“Anyway uncle.”
Suho looked at Yu Jinho with a very serious expression.
“I really appreciate your consideration but I don’t think I can join that guild.”
“what? why?”
Since Su-ho’s words were completely unexpected Yoo Jin-ho’s reaction was that he really couldn’t understand.
“Could it be that you don’t like it because it’s a parachute? Didn’t you see the Hyeonmu guild earlier? You are the only one of the heroes from yesterday’s incident who can be recruited. “They won’t appoint you as the guild leader anyway and no one will think of you as a parachute.”
“It’s not like that.”
“Then what is it?”
“I’m thinking of making it myself.”
“what?”
Jinho Yoo had a blank expression for a moment.
“…You yourself? “You mean guild?”
“yes.”
“….”
But the embarrassment only lasts for a moment.
Jinho Yoo immediately closed his mouth and was lost in thought twiddling his fingers on the armrest.
The Suho he knew was never the type of person to talk nonsense like this.
There must be a reason why he is stubborn enough to reject his offer.
After organizing his thoughts Jinho Yu looked into Suho’s eyes and spoke in a calm tone.
“Of course establishing a guild is possible for even C-level hunters as long as they meet the qualifications. However if that happens there will be a lot of inconvenience and disadvantages.”
“I know.”
“You may be abused by large guilds.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
“…I wonder why you’re doing this. “It would be much more comfortable and stable if I just joined a good guild like everyone else so why do I insist on taking a difficult path?”
“It’s a distraction.”

“…?”
As the questions and answers with Su-ho continued Jin-ho Yoo’s mind felt like it was falling further and further into the labyrinth.
But this kind of conversation was all too familiar to him.
No rather I felt like I was missing something.
‘Anyway I wonder who is your child.’
Why is it that the face of my missing older brother comes to mind especially when I see Suho today?
Yoo Jin-ho laughed and asked Su-ho again.
“How on earth would joining another guild be a hindrance to you?”
But the next moment.
“Level up.”
At the answer that came out of Suho’s mouth his expression became stiff.
“It interferes with leveling up.”
“…what? “What on earth is that…”
That moment.
Shuuuk-
The black shadow that rose up again from under Suho’s feet asked Suho a question.
[Solord have you finally decided?]
“okay. “My uncle is the person I trust the most in this world.”
After Suho’s confirmation fell Ver said with a grin.
[That’s it… I know it well.]
Yu Jin-ho actually looked confused as to what the situation was.
Even though time had passed Ver’s smile grew even deeper because that stupid expression was still the same as before.
The reason Ver came to Earth was because of Seong Jin-woo’s order to release the seal on Suho.
To put it more specifically the order was to restore the ‘power and memory’ that had been sealed in Su-ho so that he could protect the Earth on his own.
However in addition to that Seong Jin-woo added a few more instructions to Ver who was leaving for Earth.
-I will leave the rest to your discretion.
Since we do not know the exact situation on Earth the order is to delegate full authority to Ber over what decisions and choices to make after arriving at the scene.
There’s one more thing.
-And… ‘that guy’ will definitely be a great help to Suho in many ways.
Smirk.
Ber immediately figured out who ‘that guy’ Seong Jin-woo was talking about.
Compared to now Sung Jin-woo is the number one henchman who has been following Seong Jin-woo since he was extremely weak.
A colleague who never betrayed Jin-Woo Seong even when his life was threatened by his enemies.
[Please use the Little Lord’s key.]
chuck.
Before I knew it Suho was holding a key in his hand.
“Suho…? “What is that key all of a sudden?”

Instead of answering Yu Jin-ho’s puzzled question Su-ho simply placed the key in his palm.
Then….
Paaaat!
“…?!”
Suddenly the light emitted from the key turned Yu Jin-ho’s vision white.
[Use ‘Item: Shadow Dungeon Key’.]
That moment.
A voice struck Yu Jin-ho’s mind like a thunderbolt.
-Is your brother usually so quiet?
‘…uh?’
Yoo Jin-ho who instinctively realized that it was his own voice was startled and quickly looked around.
But it wasn’t there.
nothing.
Also the image of Suho who was talking to him until now.
Even the soft sofa he was sitting on.
Before I knew it everything had disappeared.
All I see is a blindingly white void.
In the middle of it all Yoo Jin-ho was standing alone.
At that moment I heard another strong auditory hallucination in my mind.
-You said you were E-level right? I will protect my brother. Stay right next to me.
-…That’s right thank you.
‘Ahh!’
Suddenly I felt like my head was going to explode.
Yoo Jin-ho grits his teeth and holds his head with both hands due to a huge headache.
From deep inside his mind flashy memories began to flow like a panorama.
However the scene was very unfamiliar.
My younger self was having a friendly conversation with someone.
-Brother just 20 times! No please just go with number 19!
-There is one condition.
-Tell me anything bro!
-You and I are going alone.
-yes?
But the other person’s face…
‘It’s Brother Tongue! ‘He’s my older brother when he was young!’
That gave me even more goosebumps.
‘Have I ever had a conversation like this with my brother? No you mean E grade? My brother went missing before the cataclysm…’
No matter how much I looked back I could never remember having a conversation like that.
The timing wasn’t right to begin with.
But… why?
-Jinho what do you think of me?
-To me you are more like an older brother than my own brother.
Again.
Why are hot tears flowing from my eyes right now?
-If you think of me as your older brother then I will think of you as my younger brother.
-Tongue brother! Can I give you a hug?
-Hey hey! You’re drunk man!
-No brother! I am now more sober than ever!
-ha. He’s a man of many things.
‘What on earth is this?! ‘What on earth is this memory?’
Yoo Jin-ho trembled with an unknown longing and cried out loud.
These were memories that never existed in the first place.
‘That doesn’t make sense!’
What on earth is this memory?
In my memory… I was following Seong Jin-woo into the dungeon.
Seong Jin-Woo was watching from behind as he hunted the demonic beasts.
Countless times.
How many times.
Over and over again.
-older brother! Let’s go together!
That amazing sight….
I was watching him from closer than anyone else.
It was his greatest pride that such a great person considered him his younger brother.
So I made a promise over and over again.
no matter what happens
He said he would always follow his older brother.
and.
At that moment the Seong Jin-woo in my memory was opening his mouth with a faint smile.
As always that voice is about to start the battle in earnest.
-Get up.
It was right then.
“Get up.”
Jinho Yu who was struggling in the world of emptiness heard Suho’s voice in his ears.
“…omg!”
Yoo Jin-ho’s mind suddenly returned to reality and his eyes widened.
Suho was still sitting in front of him.
But what is this?
Numerous shadow soldiers with black vapor blazing were standing around the guard.
It’s similar to Seong Jin-woo’s appearance in memory.
That very familiar sight.
“oh my god….”
A sigh burst out of Yoo Jin-ho’s mouth.
In the end I remembered everything.
Everything.
* * *
“What on earth is this… haha.”
Even after his memories returned Jinho Yu shed tears for a long time.
It had to be that way.
Two lives.
Two memories.
And at the center of it all is the presence of Seong Jin-woo who has always been by his side.
‘Brother… even though I had forgotten everything he came to see me first. Even the first time we met as freshmen was not a coincidence….’
[Tsk. Stop crying. Did I age in vain?]
“Keuhehehe….”
[Bud!]
“Cluck clack clack.”
It was Ver who clicked his tongue at middle-aged Yoo Jin-ho who was crying no matter how much he scolded him.
And whether he cried or not Ber told him what had happened.
Then Yoo Jin-ho cried more tears and it took a while before he finally calmed down.
“…Hehehe.”
And the enormous embarrassment that came late.
Now that I think about it Suho has been leisurely drinking coffee in front of me ever since.
“Hmm. Anyway Suho. “I understood the situation well.”
“….”
“You mean if the foreign media find out that the Shadow Lord’s son lives on Earth you could be in trouble right?”
“…yes.”
“Hmm. Something like that. “I definitely understand.”
This is the shamelessness of an adult who has been worn down while doing business.
Yoo Jin-ho’s eyes were even more serious as he nodded repeatedly and reflected on what he understood.
widely.
Suho answered putting his coffee cup down on the table.
“That’s why I want to keep my activities as secret as possible until I grow strong enough to not become my father’s weakness.”
“Then I guess I’ll have to hide my identity at least until I become S-class. “In the past my brother also started working in earnest from the S level.”
Yoo Jin-ho nods his head recalling that time.
“…No actually even S-class wouldn’t be enough.”
Yoo Jin-ho sighed as he recalled the last images of a forgotten world.
These are monarchs who were no match for even the S-class hunters who were said to be great.
However fear arose at the fact that the enemies who appeared this time the ‘foreign gods’ were of a much higher rank than the powerful monarchs.
“Whew. “It was almost on the verge of the end back then but this time it’s truly incredible.”
[Still foreign media will not come to Earth in person. It’s thanks to my lord keeping the front door tightly shut.]
“The good news is that there is a possibility that the apostles of the foreign world hid on Earth first like the advance guard. That’s why Suho has to level up while hiding his identity as much as possible.”
“To be precise I just need to hide that I am the son of the Shadow Lord.”
“I understood that too. I’m just saying that as a human Seongsuho it doesn’t matter if people know him. Hmm. “It’s information disruption…”
Jinho Yu was nodding his head several times at Suho’s words and pondering the information he had learned.
“okay! Then create your own guild separate from our company! Instead I will help you with all legal issues and other minor issues.”
“Oh thank you.”
“but.”
Stand tall.
Yoo Jin-ho’s expression which had been speaking confidently suddenly became serious.
“Even if I help with everything else there is one problem I can never help with. “You will have to overcome this on your own.”
Suho’s eyes also became serious at the sight of that expression.
“What is that?”
“after.”
Yu Jin-ho’s eyes suddenly became faint as he spoke.
I once said the same thing a long time ago.
As the memories of that day came to mind Yoo Jin-ho spoke calmly trying to swallow back the tears that welled up again.
“When you first create a guild you need at least three hunters. President Vice President Staff.”
“ah.”
There’s a problem.
