Those who read the contents of the system window clearly looked relieved. They should be, because the na at the end of the notification was the most trusted na at the mont.
But I couldnt help it. The sight I had seen the last ti I looked through my grandmothers notebook flashed before my eyes. The subjugation of the Demon ended in disaster and a grueso death.
Its just a fantasy. Its not a reality. This life would never end that way.
But why do I feel so anxious, as if Im missing sothing
Krrrr! Just then, a reptilian-like monster with a head bigger than my torso ran into the shelter. The evacuees had split up into ergency exits and transportation vehicles were making their way out. But its too late. At this rate, the monster would tear the vehicles apart in seconds.
Eternal Fla! I imdiately summoned Cthugha. With a slight drain of strength from my body, a man made of fla appeared before .
Help..!
I didnt have ti to explain the situation. Cthugha unleashed a powerful blast of fla at the horde of monsters.
Hyuuur~ Crackle!
My cheeks were burning from the intense heat. The flas reduced the monsters to ash in an instant. A ring of flas ford, blocking the monsters approach.
Hahahaha! You called at the right ti, granddaughter!
Wooaah! As the monsters burned in the flas, a cheer rose from sowhere. The monsters kept coming, endlessly. As powerful as Cthugha was, he could not fight here alone indefinitely.
Uh, co on, Hunter-nim, this way! A governnt official urgently called out to from the side of the ergency passage where the evacuation had been completed. I clutched onto Ashs hand tightly once I was sure the evacuation was sufficiently done. Cthugha had my back.
Ash, lets go.
Yes.
The entrance to the passageway was right in front of us. I ran quickly and tried to push myself into the passage.
Kaang! A huge monster appeared through a gap in the opposite wall. It pounded the walls and ground with its thick tail.
.ugh!
Crack! The ground cracked and I lost my balance. My foot slipped through the crack, and the monster lunged for my head. Cthugha no, its too late.
My surroundings seed to slow down. I braced myself for pain.
Push!
Then, Ash shoved back with all his might. He stood in front of the monster, his hand bursting with purple magic.
Kkaang! As the monster staggered back from the blast, Ash took the advantage of the mont and grabbed my hand. He pulled up and ran toward the ergency exit.
Huh! Huhh haah.
Almost at the sa ti as I threw myself into the narrow opening of the passageway, Cthugha picked up the monster chasing after us.
Boom! Blast! Sothing exploded behind my back. The tattered ceiling collapsed from the monsters attack.
Ugh, ouch.
Are you okay?
In the darkened passageway, as I staggered to my feet, Ash stumbled over to .
Ugh yeah, Im okay. I was sore here and there, but nothing was broken, and my cuts were rely scratches. However, my hand was still shaking. It wasnt just from the almost-being-a-monster-lunch crisis Id just had. I squeezed Ashs hand before looking around. He frowned slightly at the unusual tremor in my hand.
Dont do that.
What?
Earlier Thank you for saving . I would have been in danger if you hadnt saved , Ash.
Ash smiled, almost invisibly. He seed proud. No. I dont want you to feel proud of yourself for putting yourself in danger. Hes a part-ti worker in my house . no, more than that, hes my younger brother, my family. I want to protect him.
But if you hadnt been careful, you could have been in danger, Ash.
My heart dropped when I saw his small back against the monster.
.. Ash gave a pouty look.
Im not saying you shouldnt help , and I really appreciate it, but if you ever get in danger, Ash, I want you to. I turned and locked eyes with him. In the blurry darkness, I could see the sullen face of my younger brother, who seed to have grown a lot lately, Never do that.
Ash didnt look all that convinced, but he nodded slightly, reluctantly, at my urging. I let go of his hand and looked around.
As the ceiling collapsed earlier, it seed like Ash and I were separated from everyone else. I listened for a mont, but I couldnt hear any other sounds. Cthugha had been dismissed. I tried to summon him again, but I didnt feel any imdiate danger, so I stopped.
My phone was oh no, it was completely smashed.
What are you going to do?
A damp breeze from the other side of the aisle ruffled my hair. Surely there must be a door leading outside not too far away.
[ Data is being collected. Please wait for a mont.]
The system froze, displaying only this ssage.
I wanted to et with Ki Yoohyun before the Demon God Seal quest began, so I could find out what was causing this strange anxiety.
Lets find our way out first.
I shifted my feet.

Her hands were moving busily. Without taking her eyes off the monitor, Jina blurted out, I swear, when this is over, Im quitting.
Shortly after returning safely from the rift with the help of the Choi Cedric and his sister, Jina had been stuck here. It was an analysis room with equipnt that the Dungeon Managent Office had spent a lot of money on.
The outside was chaotic with a series of rifts, but unlike the previous ones, there was sothing puzzling.
The monsters are terrified.
And the ether asuring device she managed to hold on to as the rifts exploded. There must be a clue to the identity of the Red Gate here.
Theres soone whos been saying that for ages.
In front of Jina were three large monitors. They read data and respond to outside calls at the sa ti, which is why she was a beat late in responding to Kang Hyunwoos comnt, No, Im serious, Ive already written my resignation letter, and this ti, Im going to quit for good.
Looking at the back of her head, Kang Hyunwoo smirked, knowing she wasnt saying the truth, As far as Im concerned, Ms. Jina is soone who will work here until retirent age. Shes going to rise to the rank of Director.
Aaah, dont say scary things.
Why, isnt great? The first non-Awakened Director.
Its just a bunch of nonsense, but it sent chills down her spine. Instead of announcing her resignation again, Jina changed the subject, You know, this is making miss going undercover to capture Hunter Choi Yichan.
I agree.
The elimination of the powerful Hunter who stayed in the shadow. That had been their top priority for the last quarter. Thinking about it now, it seed so peaceful. When she was chasing after Choi Yichan, she had no idea things would turn out this way Jina stopped her hand. With a ding, the data analysis results appeared on the monitor.
Team Leader, I found it! That gate leads to the Throne of Darkness. 92.3% pattern matches.
The Throne of Darkness?
Yep. Its believed to be a dungeon where an Otherworldly God resides its usually inhabited by a Demon God that never awakens, the Primordial Chaos.
It must be dangerous.
Only if the Demon God awakens, by then its no longer within the realm of human power to do anything about it. We need to solve the quest before that happens.
Just then, new notifications popped up on the monitor. None of them were serious. Jina fiddled with her hands again and turned to Kang Hyunwoo.
There are so parts that havent been deciphered yet Team Leader, I just sent the data, check eh? Glancing back, Jina was surprised to see that Kang Hyunwoo, who had been there just a mont ago, was nowhere to be seen.
When did he leave?
There are so few people and so much work to do. He must have gone to do his part. Jina shook her head once, then turned back to the monitor.
Click. Kang Hyunwoo closed the door carefully so as not to make a sound. He tried to set the mood, but it didnt work. Kim Jina didnt pay him the slightest attention.
Well, its rather comforting to see Kim Jina being her usual self.
Kang Hyunwoo wiped the smile from his lips and started walking. A system notification flickered in front of his eyes.
[The quest participants have been selected after rigorous testing.
Second participant: Kang Hyunwoo (A)

Ash, be careful coming up.
Im okay.
Fortunately, after about thirty minutes of walking, we found an exit off the passageway. I climbed up the narrow steel ladder first, then reached out to Ash. He looked reluctant at first, but then took my hand.
I peeked out through the doorway for a mont. When I was sure there was no sign of the monster, I opened the door. A cool breeze washed away the musty odor of the passageway.
Its okay to co out. Theres nothing this way.
The exit led to an ergency exit behind a pharmacy. It creaked from lack of use, but I was glad the door wasnt locked.
The gate in the sky was wide open. I had a rough idea of the location of the gate from what I could see here and what was written on the sign. Its near Myeongdong Station. Being so close to the gate, the streets were quiet, indicating that the evacuation was already over.
Did I co in the opposite direction from the other people at the evacuation center.
I had arrived unexpectedly in the center of the crisis. I wondered for a mont what I should do next.
Should I go back to the store? But with monsters still pouring out of the gate, its not a good idea to move alone. It would be dangerous if I ran into a monster while trying to return to the store.
Its better to leave Ash in another safe place. Not far from here is the headquarters and orphanage of the Demon Cult Twilight. Theres a protective barrier there, so he should be safe.
After that, lets find Ki Yoohyun.
I just want to make sure that hes all right. Just that.
