“Well, what do I do? ”

The rookie circles around. He was the only one in this room. The system has been restored. We haven't been able to reach Han Eugene's world yet, but it should be reconnected soon. So the urgent business is over. You can take a short rest in peace.

“… the system. ”

Why we built the system. Initial system makers. I couldn't ignore her. I could feel my heart swaying. But it was hard to accept that he was wrong right away. The rookie shakes her head. I couldn't let go of those long, long hours in one fell swoop.

I didn't.

A rookie stood up and rolled around in the snow, raising her hand. The flickering sleeves pour down and the exposed fingertips wiggle in the air. A round hole appeared in the air.

[You said you'd be busy for a while. What's going on? Is the system repaired?]

“… No. ”

The question of the tree made the rookie lie carelessly. He covered his face with his sleeves and said,

“The first world of origin, you said you didn't need to manage it. ”

There are no kinsmen or religious addicts there. The underlying system exists but is moving automatically without admin interference.]

I'm sure that's what the new guy heard. It's a world you don't have to be involved in.

“What about chaos?”

Chaos?

“Yes. They say it's on the first source. ”

[Ah, young chaos. Yeah, I don't know the details, but there's a little chaos there. He's the only transcendent who manages the world from its first source. The oldest sword. Lord of the Nine Stars. Mythical hunter. The dusk of the first source. There have been many other rumors, but it's a long time ago.]

“How long ago was that? ”

[It's so old that only a handful of the transcendents saw him. The crescent, the white bird, the gardener? A mermaid queen might have seen it in her freshman year.]

A tree beyond the hole shakes its hand.

[You don't have to worry about him anyway. If you don't set foot in the world of the first source, you won't have to face it. Why all of a sudden?]

“I was repairing the system, and I looked at the data. It's a name I've never seen before, so I wanted someone to know it. ”

[Yeah? I bet you knew some of the early systems builders. Oh, I think something else happened. Well, keep up the good work, rookie! I hope there's someone else who can get to the system. Is that blacksmith even a possibility?]

Basic management and manipulation of the system was possible for others. However, few transcendents have the ability to look inside and exhume and repair. The rookie smiles with a half-covered face and waves his hand to get rid of the hole.

“... What should I do? ”

He seemed to be a greater man than I thought. The rookie hesitates and moves the system. The system existed in the world of the first source, so it was not difficult to connect.

A passageway was created and followed by the length of the system and system following the guidance of complex magical forces. The new recruit looked around again with a slightly tense glance. If I contacted them directly from here, I was more likely to be noticed by other transcendents.

‘Create a separate virtual space... This makes you vulnerable to external attacks. ’

The new recruit cut off the system and created a virtual space near the world of Han Eugene that was out of everyone's attention. It was a kind of fake dungeon. The dungeon was most convenient to connect with the system. The rookie takes a deep breath and forms an alter ego and enters my dungeon.

It was a small forest. The summer sun shines along the stream.

“... Young Chaos? ”

No answer came back. Now that we've connected to the system at the first source and sent a message, we should be able to get back here. The rookie waits for a moment and checks the passageway.

“Excuse me?"

Barrels, barrels. You hear a knocking. The rookie sends a message, not against the same transcendent, but against the common Awakeners.

[Young Chaos? Am I right?]

[Correct.]

[Then why don't you come over?]

[I'm not that good at tricks. You have to help me.]

[What trickery!]

The rookie grumbles and helps him get over here. A red-eyed boy appears in front of the rookie.

“Yes, yes. It's a rabbit.”

“… You look like Honey's younger brother? ”

“That's how it was recognized. ”

The rookie looked at the chaos as if it were strange. Unlike what I had heard, I was like a normal human being.

“Why did you ask me to contact you? ”

“I can't do tricks like you, bunny. So I asked for your contact information because I needed your help. ”

“What kind of help? You can manipulate a basic system, but I can do more secretly……. ”

“I can barely do the basics. ”

The rookie opened her eyes wide.

“Really? It's easy. Do you want me to teach you?”

“I can't believe the early systems builders gave up. I don't want to learn. ”

“How do you manage the world's first origins if you can't handle the system? ”

I smiled at his curiosity and asked.

“Break it down. ”

“Yes?”

“If you want to be eaten by the source, I'll go in and sweep it out. There is no transcendent other than me, and even if you are born, you will be expelled, so the power to protect each world will be broken. ”

“… is that it? ”

“Yes."

The answer is light. The rookie is embarrassed and covers her mouth with her sleeve. It was a way I never thought of it. No, it was reckless, even if it was transcendent. Even the King of the Unsullied has been forced into a world he does not belong to.

“Well, that's how we're going to protect the world from other origins. ”

“You can't. If protection is lost, it will become a battlefield for the transcendents. My way is possible because there's nowhere to run. If you cut off all the wolf heads, you won't be able to access the defenseless sheep, but if you turn the entire mountain into a livestock instead of one area, all the other prey will disappear and you'll be dead. ”

If you do not intend to exterminate them, you should leave them as escape routes.

“It bothers me when the transcendents join forces. Moreover, it is better to manage it with the system than with the last step. if you follow the principle. ”

The red eye looks straight at the rookie. It doesn't have much emotion in it, but it seems to be reprimanding. The new girl lifts her sleeve higher and covers her face in half. Two totally different pairs of foes met each other, not just the same color.

The new recruit changed the subject while avoiding the eye.

“Asking me for help.... ”

“The original promise was to lend you one of my swords. ”

The chaos makes my eyebrows slightly frown.

“You knew this would happen, so you put the sword on the line yourself. I don't like futuristic paper, either. ”

“The Future Seeker?”

“But there's no reason to hesitate. Little bunny, help me get in touch with a little girl named Han Yoo-jin. ”

The rookie shakes her head, confused.

“I can't right now! And you gave Honey the Blade of Young Chaos? ”

“Yes. You went to her sister. ”

“How, when? You said you couldn't handle the system, but if you gave me the sword, you could deliver the message yourself. ”

“Another manager helped me then. Not right now, I don't think. There won't be any problems right now. ”

The young chaos raises its head. A sword gripped his fingertips. From the sack to the tip of the blade, it was a white, sharp blade.

“An uninvited guest.”

Shortly after I ran out of words, I also felt a rookie. And...

Kuaang ─!

The space shakes. The black line spreads in the sky as it crumbles. A sharp claw splits through the clouds and falls to the edge of the forest. An angry, growling roar seeps through the cracks.

[Where are you? Where are you?!]

“Chatterbox!”

The new recruit jumps up and down, revealing a hidden fang.

[The King of the Unsullied, my lovely fog!]

“D, go back! It's not here!”

[Give him back! The foster kids, the foster kids, everything! You were watching. They couldn't have locked her up and killed her. You!]

The sky split even bigger. The thick venom seeps in and, with a murmur and a rumbling sound, the pale red tent spreads out with ferocious energy. A young chaos pushes out a white knife toward the heavy falling tent from the sky.

Without a single sway, the tip of the blade cracks open the air. A light breeze follows the long straight line. As it was, the veil began to slide off. They are torn, crumpled, and driven to the ends of the sky, as if they had encountered a great wave.

“Shut up.”

Chaos loosens the blade.

[… you.]

“Young chaos. I'm ashamed to say I'm young at this age, but there are a lot of things. ”

[Why, here. Obviously the first source, it never leaves.]

The young chaos raises its mouth tail in a voice that makes you nervous.

“It's a walk. Are you going to dump me? ”

There was a brief silence. A low growl mixes with the sound of rough breathing. However, Chatterbox was bitten gently. The atmosphere of the chatterbox disappeared completely and the sky, which had been torn apart, slowly recovered. The rookie staring blankly at it shouts for chaos.

“You could've just taken him out! It's dangerous! They're after Honey! ”

“I can't. ”

“Yes? Are you weaker than Chatterbox? ”

“This rabbit. ”

The new girl's forehead was clenched. The rookie rubs her red forehead with her hands, making a tear.

“Don't the youngsters know? In Society, transcendents used to catch and kill as many as they could see. In the sense of reflection and all that, I made a vow not to attack but the first to show hostility to me and the first to enter the world of origin without my permission. ”

“Chatterbox came at us first. ”

“You were the target. ”

The white road fades from chaos. The boy sat on the back of the tree, roughly lifting the edge of the flowing garment.

“I'm free now, so I'll wait here until I'm ready. ”

“Oh, yes. ”

“Give me a cup of tea. ”

“… can't make it? ”

“I can't. I can't hold it like that. All I can make is a blade. ”

“I didn't catch it! ”

The rookie made a table and a t-set while shouting for a drink and politely followed the car.

‘Maybe it's nothing to worry about, but I think it's best to be careful. Thank you, Director Song. ’

Song Tae-won looked at the airfield, reminiscent of Moon Hyuna's words. The call was short. It was a simple statement that the guild leader was not in good standing. If you are a layman on the phone, you can ignore it. However, Moon Hyuna, the guild master, contacted me directly.

Early Awakening, she was one of the few people to say she was close to the Holy Father. As a Class S Hunter, I've been hit several times as guild leader. Since Moon Hyun-ah had deliberately given me the advice, I could never take it lightly.

Song Tae-won immediately cleared the airport where Sung-hyun was scheduled to arrive. Fortunately, due to the sudden appearance of monsters, all aircraft were stopped, leaving only a handful of employees guarding the airport.

“Are you sure you want to be alone? ”

Kang So-young asked worriedly. A Thorn-Winged Cancer Dragon crouches beside her. I was temporarily grounded because of Leight and the rush, but I couldn't make fun of the flying polyp in case there were any monsters left. Thanks to you, I was released as soon as I was told that I would only patrol in the air.

“I feel comfortable alone. ”

“... You're not mad at me, are you? You can't be mad about that, but just in case. If it's me, please give me a call. Stay on the breaker. ”

“I don't think so. ”

“Right? But please contact me, Director Song! Please! If you help me, I won't speed up for a while! ”

Kang So-young climbed onto Comet's back, asking again. Although not fully grown yet, the long wings of the black dragon are still slightly larger than Griphon Blue. It flies away as it flies away.

Song Tae-won looked at the rear view of the female dragon and looked forward again. The estimated arrival time of the plane was soon. You breathe out briefly, squeezing the belt of gloves back into your wrist. The tension in the back of my neck was completely different from when I entered the dungeon. The outside was not shaken like a statue, but the inside was wobbling with mixed emotions.

Soon after, the plane appeared with a loud noise, lowering its altitude. Since the flight was halted worldwide, there was no need to confirm who was on board there. The landing gear reaches the runway. Black tires spin quickly with a bang. The gas running along the runway slowly stops.

Song Tae-won stepped off the plane and looked at the man as if he were guarding his position.

“It's been a long time. I didn't expect you to come all the way out here. ”

You should be impressed. The tone of speaking like that was not heavy. However, Song Tae-won felt the tension in his body became stronger.

“Why did you come back alone? ”

There is no answer, but golden eyes smile lightly.

“It's been a long time," I said. If you have a problem, speak now. ”

We can't let dangerous beings in. In that sense, the smile of the Holy Father became even darker.
