Episode 6
3.
To be honest, I didn’t really believe Team Leader Kim when he said he’d send
ho quickly.
I thought, “How can they let
go ho so easily when they’ve been called to a National Security Council eting?
But it didn’t take long for
to realize that Team Leader Kim was telling the truth.
“You’re ho.”
It had been exactly three hours and twelve minutes since I had been questioned about my reasons for revealing my power.
I was allowed to return ho without any inhibitions.
Of course, there really wasn’t “nothing” done.
From the mont I stepped out of the luxury limousine a few monts earlier, I had felt the presence of quite a few agents.
They were all disguised as ordinary people, but it wasn’t too difficult to detect them.
For , detecting magic is many tis easier than lying down and eating rice cakes.
Eating rice cakes while lying down would choke , but detecting magic power was as simple as breathing.
And already, the Minister of Ability Managent has personally handed
a temporary ID card and told
about the agents that will be stationed around my house.
-For the ti being, agents will be stationed around Mr. Shi Yu’s house. I know you must feel bad, but I promise you in my na that no harm will co to you. It’s unprecedented for an Irregular to appear in our country, so please forgive us for our lack of response.
This is coming from a man who is a minister.
Of course, I may have made the Emperor of the Empire, the King of the Dwarves, the Regent of the Elves, and other such high offices tremble in the Otherworld, but that is partly due to my own unique status at the ti.
Back then, I was the Pope of the Order of Lin, the Apostle of Lin, the First Order that saved the continent from destruction.
But on Earth, I’m still just a ticking ti bomb whose identity hasn’t been properly confird.
In such a situation, if a minister or soone else bowed down and asked
to do sothing, why would I refuse?
Besides, they haven’t done
any harm yet by using their authority.
In this case, it’s all good.
I’m suspicious of the ridiculous promises that they’d rather leave
alone, but I’m not offended when they’re upfront like that.
Besides, I have more important things to worry about right now.
Anyway.
I walked into the living room, kicking off my shoes, and soon In Wook walked out of the room, his dark circles clearly visible, looking tired.
“Hey, you’re ho so fast. Long training tomorrow?”
“No? I didn’t hear that?”
“You said it was for a week.”
“Well, it’s supposed to be a week, but I’m not eligible.”
“Why.”
“Because I’m being considered for reclassification.”
In Wook’s eyes widened at my words.
“Really? In one day? That’s how easy it is?”
“You know the Chaos Gate? I’m pretty sure they’ll take care of everything since I single-handedly destroyed that one… and reclassified as an Irregular.”
Irregular, irregular.
It wasn’t a word that just rolled off the tongue, and it was an awkward word for , so it didn’t feel natural.
But apparently not to In Wook.
“Say it again, hyung. What grade?”
“Irregular.”
“……If you an the Chaos Gate, do you an the Yeouido Gate that disappeared this morning, the one you walked out of yesterday?”
“How did you know the gate disappeared?”
My brother sighed as he showed
his cell phone.
“October 12, 11:42 a.m.: The C-42 gate that appeared in Yeouido Hangang Park is now closed as of this ti. The evacuation order for Mapo Bridge and surrounding roads will be lifted at 6 p.m.”
I let out a small exclamation as I stared at the text.
“The world has gotten better. Do they send disaster texts like this nowadays?”
“Did you really do this?”
In Wook’s voice filled with disbelief.
This is what brothers are like, endlessly distrusting each other.
In fact, I didn’t expect him to believe
all at once.
Until this morning. I can see the look on In Wook’s face when I told him I was going to be reclassified.
But before I could explain, In Wook suddenly turned serious and nodded.
“You don’t look like you’re lying by the look on your face.”
“What’s wrong with my expression?”
“Do you know, you look like a kindergartner who can’t wait to show off. It’s exactly the sa as when you brought Grandma your first paycheck.”
“…… Really?”
Should I swear at him or not?
I thought about it for a mont, but decided to let it go because it wasn’t important right now.
Whether I was thinking about it or not, In Wook continued, his expression growing more serious.
“Actually, if what you said yesterday was true, I thought you’d get an Irregular rating………… Is it true?”
“Do you even know what an irregular is?”
“I kind of know. Officially, four in the US. Two in Europe. 2.0 in China. They’re people who have no magic, but have the power of a Disaster-class or higher, and the power of a top-ranked player.”
“Why are there 2.0 in China?”
“Oh, that?”
In Wook nodded in response to my innocent question.
“The other Irregulars were certified by releasing their power detection process and combat footage, but the returnees who claid to be Irregulars in China didn’t release their combat footage. They claim to be four, but I’m not sure, so I count them as half a person and call it 2.0. It’s kind of a .”
“Hmm. After all. It’s China.”
“It’s China.”
Not much different from five years ago.
By the way, listening to In Wook’s story, it seems like he knows what an Iregular is, but why is he so calm?
He doesn’t seem to be thrilled that his brother is being recognized as Korea’s first Irregular.
I wonder if he’s picking up on my thoughts.
In Wook shrugged and said.
“I’m not really surprised that soone I thought was dead ca back from the other world, so I’m not surprised that he’s an Irregular. It’s just that it doesn’t feel real.”
This makes
think In Wook has a strong mind, or maybe he just has a weird mind.
Anyway.
That’s when I briefly told him what happened this morning.
In Wook, who listened to the story in silence, nodded his head and asked .
“So, what are you going to do from now on, hyung?”
“Nothing.”
I looked at the screen in front of
as I answered In Wook’s question.
[The DLC update is complete!]
[Causality approves the application of this update].
[ content is now live on your system].
[ will be added to your permissions……]
The damn update I’ve been waiting four hours for.
Let’s see what the hell this guy is.
“Cult.”
4.
The system I used in Eden has been the sa for a decade.
There were no levels, but instead, skill levels, titles, and stats.
This made progression a bit easier. It was a good ga system, in many ways, both in terms of motivation and convenience.
It’s a system that hasn’t changed in 10 years.
Considering Lin’s last words, “It’s from Earth!”, it’s probably not that different from other players’ systems.
But this was the first system window I’d seen in the ten years since I’d gotten it, and I swear on Lin’s life.

This is aweso.
When I look at this, it reminds
of a spare rib.
You know, the kind of ribs where there’s no flesh attached to it, just a bunch of bones.
Just as I was about to curse at its hideous ugliness, I saw a couple more ssage windows pop up in front of .
