Only I Level Up: Ragnarok - Episode 133
Only I Level Up: Ragnarok Episode 133
Thomas Andre, whose memories of his past life returned after accepting the godhead of the outer universe, was confused in his mind..
another self.
Memories that shouldn't exist were mixed with current memories, making my head feel dizzy as if it were all tangled up..
He didn't know why he had come to live a new life, but he had already experienced situations where it wouldn't be strange no matter what happened, so he didn't really question it..
Rather than that…….
‘shit! shit!’
While everything is in confusion.
This was the final feeling Thomas was left with..
chagrin.
‘It's so unfair I'm going crazy!’
He realized the reality of the nightmare that had tormented him so much for the past years..
The reality of that nightmare was ultimately a memory that he had burst into dust while fighting with ‘Sung Jin-woo’..
‘Why do I only remember that damn memory up to that point?……!’
This was the most unfair.
But in a way, this was natural.
Thomas André is called the strongest hunter in America, or rather in humanity..
Of course, it was my first time in my life to be beaten so one-sidedly by someone else..
The mental shock he must have felt at that time was indescribable..
The more things you don't want to think about, the clearer they are in your memory..
Wasn’t Min Byeong-gu like that too?.
‘No, we reconciled after that and got along well, right? We even joined forces and fought together.!’
But whatever the reason, it was unfair..
If only a little more memory had remained after that, I wouldn't have been tormented by nightmares..
But now, to whom can I vent this injustice?.
This was entirely Thomas Andre's responsibility, and it was a good thing that he would no longer have nightmares..
Moreover, he realized why he had felt weak all this time, so the homework that had been bothering him all his life disappeared overnight..
‘That's why grandma sent me here. As expected, if you listen to Norma Sellner carefully, you will have rice cakes even in your sleep..’
Wasn’t the reason why I studied Korean so hard that I even became fluent in Korean proverbs thanks to Norma Sellner’s advice?.
‘I now know why that old lady told me to study Korean. Seong Su-ho was Seong Jin-woo's son?.’
After knowing the inside story, I saw Sung Soo-ho, and his face was exactly like Sung Jin-woo..
Their age was exactly the same as when Sung Jin-Woo grabbed them..
……I remembered the nightmare and started to feel bad again..
“It's bigger than that..”
Thomas Andre's expression hardened after hearing the entire situation that befell the Earth through Suho and Ber's mouth..
“The enemy has become stronger than before, but Sung Jin-woo is actually not on Earth? Isn’t this really destroying the Earth this time??”
As someone who had already been caught up in a war between rulers and monarchs, he could say for certain:.
“Their war is not a fight that a mere human can intervene in..”
[You understand the topic very well..]
Ver stood on Suho's shoulder and arrogantly nodded at Thomas Andre's words..
[By human standards, you have to be at least at the level of national power to be able to compete with the Apostle of Italim..]
“That's what I experienced this time. Or at least…….”
Thomas Andre, who was agreeing with Ber's words, suddenly turned to Cha Hae-in next to the ice elves..
“……Or at least an S-class hunter with powerful items..”
After witnessing Cha Hae-in's fighting power with the Demon King's long sword before my eyes,.
As soon as he returned to the guild, a mountain of tasks began to pile up in Thomas Andre's head..
“……As soon as I get back to work, I'll have to start developing weapons..”
It's only been two years since the cataclysm.
More than 10 years have passed since the Hunter Era began, and the situation is very different now..
Human science and knowledge were more advanced than then, but hunter technology was far behind compared to the past..
There may be many reasons, but the biggest reason among them was the lack of research on ‘materials’..
Two years after the cataclysm, research on minerals mined in dungeons and the corpses of demonic beasts, as well as other research, was still at an early stage..
It would take at least 5 more years to reach a level similar to the time period in which it disappeared..
‘But I have knowledge of the future, no, knowledge of the past. If you use those memories, you can develop several times faster..’
That wasn't all.
In addition to simply developing technology, it was possible to achieve the development of hunters in many ways, such as various raid strategies and efficient training methods..
Thomas Andre, recalling the memories of the disappeared time period, felt as if it were his second chance at life..
“If you just tell us how to increase the cohesion of mana, the speed of development will be much faster... … . hmm?”
While Thomas Andre was thinking about this, the sight of Rio Sing, who was passing by, suddenly caught his eye..
To be precise, the quality of the ‘sword’ in Lio Xing’s hand was unusual..
Thomas called Lio Xing over..
“You, what is that knife? Did you also receive an item from Sung Jin-woo, or rather, Su-ho??”
“……yes? This knife?”
Lio Xing raised his sword with a puzzled expression and answered in fluent English..
“This is just something I bought at Hunter Mall.?”
“what? I just bought it with money?”
In response to the unexpected answer, Thomas Andre quickly snatched Lio Xing's knife and looked at it closely..
But as expected.
“What, what? Why is the quality so good? At this level, it's almost the same as the old days.…….”
creepy.
something is strange.
Thomas Andre felt something unusual and asked Lio Xing..
“Where on earth did you get this sword? Even the United States cannot yet handle dungeon ores with this level of precision.?”
“India is also good compared to other countries, but not to this level yet..”
“So where on earth…….”
“korea.”
“……!”
Thomas Andre's eyes widened at those words..
On the other hand, Rio Sing felt good because he felt his insight was recognized by Thomas Andre..
And as soon as he saw this sword, he bought it right away and answered confidently, praising his quick thinking, or rather, his ability to act quickly..
“I bought it when I visited Blacksmith in Korea under Suho’s guidance..”
After receiving recognition from S-class hunter Thomas Andre, the next plan was immediately formed in Lio Xing's head..
‘At this rate, we'll have to purchase a large amount of weapons from Korea and send them to our guild. If I airlift in quality weapons, the guild leader will look favorably on me again.…….’
But Lio Xing's promotion plans had nothing to do with it..
Thomas Andre spoke to Suho with a serious expression..
“Something is strange. It makes no sense for technology to be developed to this level already in the second year. It seems that there is someone in Korea other than me who has memories of his past life.!”
“It's Korea?”
Suho’s expression hardened at those words..
The fact that memories of one's past life came to mind without the Shadow Key meant that it was related to the Apostle of Italim..
“okay. It's not just recently, you must have had the memory from long ago..”
The matter was serious.
No matter how much knowledge you have, it would take at least two years to commercialize this level of technology..
And that meant that at the same time as the cataclysm, the Apostle of Italim was working in secret in Korea..
But then.
“Suho?”
Cha Hae-in, who was next to the ice elves, heard their conversation and came over to talk to them..
“Maybe that person… … I think I know who my mom is.?”
“yes? She's someone my mother knows?”
“You know?! how?”
Suho and Thomas Andre, who were surprised by Cha Hae-in's words, turned their attention to her..
It was ridiculous..
Cha Hae-in has been living trapped in this glacier dungeon since before the cataclysm, so how can he know about Korea?.
However, Cha Hae-in responded to Su-ho with a strange smile, as if he was amused by their reactions to the same facial expressions..
“hmm. Suho, you probably saw it a few times when you were young.?”
“Me? Who is it??”
“Do you remember your boss at work who is close to your dad??”
“……My father's boss at work.?”
Suho reacts in confusion to those words..
His father's occupation, as he remembers, was 'police officer'..
And if it's your father's boss, he's also a police officer.…….
“Oh, I guess I don’t remember because I saw it when I was so young.?”
Cha Hae-in nodded as if he could answer Su-ho's reaction..
Like most sons, there were not many sons who lived to remember their father's boss at work..
However, to her husband Seong Jin-woo, ‘he’ was a boss at work who had a special meaning..
“How is he doing now?…….”
It was Cha Hae-in who suddenly remembered ‘his’ face and fell into deep thought..
* * *
North Korea.
After the cataclysm, Korea was virtually unified..
But the process was the problem..
Dungeon breaks began to appear in droves in North Korea at the same time as the cataclysm..
Demonic beasts pouring out from there.
As a result, the North Korean government was unable to properly prevent the enormous disaster that occurred and ended up destroying itself..
Were there no hunters??
That wasn't it..
Among North Koreans, there were many people who realized this ability..
If North Korea were a normal country, it would have blocked the dungeon break and eliminated the demonic beasts with its awakened people as the main force like other countries..
However, the moment North Korean awakeners gained transcendent power,.
rebelled.
Centered around those who suddenly developed superpowers, suppressed ideological dissatisfaction began to burst out in various places..
In the end, all of North Korea's awakened people became villains and eliminated all elements of the government..
At the same time as the cataclysm, all of North Korea's systems collapsed, and in fact, North Korea collapsed at that point..
Even the awakened people who rebelled fought among themselves and were scattered..
In the end, most of them died as they were individually defeated by demonic beasts that appeared from various places..
It was a natural ending as the awakened people were scattered in a situation where even if they combined their efforts, it would not be enough..
Anyway, when that situation came to pass, the dungeon break that occurred in North Korea spread uncontrollably in all directions..
The aftermath was felt by China above and Korea below..
And that was the reason why the Korean Hunter Association was providing support to North Korea..
As North Korea's field-type dungeons continue to expand, their country ultimately suffers damage..
“……after. It's really endless..”
The head of the Korean Hunter Association was in the midst of leading the association's hunters to eliminate North Korea's demonic beasts..
This endless battle has been going on for months now..
“President of the Association.”
Just then, a middle-aged hunter approached the association president..
Choi Jong-in.
He is a magic hunter who primarily uses fire, and was the first S-class hunter to be brought into the association as soon as the association was founded by the president..
“Everyone is exhausted. How about taking a little rest here and then starting again?.”
“……That's right.”
At Choi Jong-in's words, the president of the association smiled bitterly and took off the sunglasses he had been wearing throughout the battle..
Then, beaky eyes resembling a bird of prey were revealed..
The president of the association glared fiercely at North Korea, which had been turned into a monster field, and wiped his sunglasses, which had been splattered with the beast's blood, with a handkerchief..
Then, suddenly, someone's face came to mind, and a soft sigh came out of his mouth..
“ha. Where on earth did you go at a time like this?…….”
Woo Jin-cheol, the president of the Korean Hunter Association, who founded it, muttered while thinking of Seong Jin-woo..
“Wherever you are... … Please just come back safely..”
I will have everything ready by then..
Hunter Seong Jin-woo.
