One mistake (1)
Moved a step.
Kang Min-ho felt like his heart was about to explode as he was walking in the lead.
'I killed someone. And that too casually.'
series of situations.
Roman Dmitry, as soon as Koh Sang-ho revealed his murderous intentions, blew his head off without hesitation.
It was shocking.
After the chaos, violence dominates society, but committing murder casually was a different matter.
Of course, it is not that Kang Min-ho did not commit murder.
Hunters' conflicts are directly related to each other's lives, so there have been times when they stabbed a knife into the heart of an enemy who attacked them as if they were going to kill them.
But it was really self-defense. It was completely different from blowing off the head of an opponent who had lost the ability to fight back.
'But can this be called Roman Dmitry-sama's fault? no. It was just an unconventional response, and there was enough justification to kill Koh Sang-ho.'
I looked back at the situation.
Koh Sang-ho checked unknown information and invaded without permission, and in exchange for his leg was cut off, he screamed and threatened to kill him.
It was a dilemma. Koh's remarks are only intimidating, but they are not an issue that can be ignored.
As he said, he would definitely mobilize Red Moon's forces, and in a situation where they were aiming for each other's lives, the situation like just before was the realm of self-defense.
blast furnace.
The difference was the order.
Murder usually occurs when a conflict escalates, and Roman Dmitry is one step ahead of common sense.
'You can't call Roman Dmitry a villain because of the murder. It was the Red Moon that crossed the line, and in this time of great chaos, it is natural to take responsibility with your life. In fact, the reason other people can't even do that is because it's impossible to get behind the scenes. And for a few days, Roman Dmitry-sama, whom I experienced, showed a reasonable enough figure. He knocked down the soldier ants in exchange for a deal, and just gave up the expensive by-products for a month's cost of living.'
took a breath
perhaps.
Maybe he just wanted to believe in Roman Dmitry.
If he had nothing to gain from him, he would have taken a step back, but in this chaotic world, it was not right to reject danger unconditionally.
I wanted to believe it once. If Roman Dmitry was the one to lead him to the shelter, he had to stay by his side, even thinking of his only daughter.
organized my thoughts.
If you choose to accompany Roman Dmitry, the problem you will face from now on is the conflict with Incheon's huge guild, Red Moon.
'If it's enough to blow Koh Sang-ho's head just because he showed murderous intent, Roman Dmitry-sama would never compromise with Red Moon. It's the same with Red Moon. The guild master of Redmoon is a very militant person, and even considering the guild's reputation, there is no way to ignore Koh Sang-ho's death. If Roman Dmitry-sama is guided to Redmoon's stronghold like this, it's clear that one of them will die.'
individual and group.
The result was obvious.
Thinking that Roman Dmitry's safety could not be guaranteed, Kang Min-ho, who was walking ahead, stopped.
Then he turned his head and said.
"… … I have something to tell you for a moment."
* * *
It was a strange feeling.
Roman Dmitry looked younger than him on the outside, but it was not easy to tell him the truth. He wasn't just out of power.
The natural inferiority and overwhelming charisma that was revealed without intention had no choice but to accept that he was mentally superior to himself.
Is that so?
In this situation where he was about to discuss practical problems, Kang Min-ho felt his voice trembling without realizing it.
"Anyway, I don't think this is the case. Your opponent is Redmoon. The number of hunters belonging to it is over 100, and their guild master is a talented person who secured a B grade several years ago. It must be difficult to handle one guild master, but to invade their stronghold alone is suicidal."
"… … ."
There was no reply returned.
Looking at him calmly, as if to say more, Kang Min-ho continued to add words to see if he had gained strength.
"This day. I understand. Koh Sang-ho trespassed and threatened Roman Dmitry-sama, and it is natural for the opponent to pay the price in some way. But from now on, you need to think realistically. There is only one way to stop the Redmoon threat. Trust the Incheon government. It does not mean that you belong to the Incheon government. Currently, the Incheon government wants to recruit Roman Dmitry, so we will not decline an offer to temporarily form a cooperative relationship."
Kim Jun-hyuk.
He is a man of considerable ability.
Even if Red Moon came out aggressively, he had the ability to somehow turn the situation around.
"People say that central and local governments are separate entities, but not during times of catastrophe. I will be a witness. Witness that the killing of Koh Sang-ho was in self-defense. If the Incheon government trips over Red Moon's ankles due to legal issues, even Red Moon cannot touch Roman Dmitry, who is protected by the Incheon government. Once you've secured immediate safety, if you don't change your mind after that, slowly prepare for the war against Red Moon. If we secure a friendly force and take the lead at the right time, then there is a sufficient chance of winning."
Kang Min-ho stood at a crossroads.
testimony.
He spoke to Roman Dmitry as if nothing had happened, but in fact, to testify in the conflict with Red Moon was no different than making Red Moon the enemy.
They will certainly be hostile to Kang Min-ho, who is the witness. He might receive death threats, but Kang Min-ho decided it was worth it.
swallowed dry saliva.
I spit out everything I could say.
No matter how Roman Dmitry accepted this, from now on, it was not a matter of his own choice.
Kang Min-ho's suggestion.
It wasn't pure favor.
A well-purposed favor.
At the look of Kang Min-ho's eyes brimming with longing, Roman Dmitry smiled.
'It's fun.'
those eyes.
used to
The memories of a previous life that were buried deep in the heart were vividly revived in the new relationship I made in my new life.
* * *
Two previous lives.
When he first started living as Roman Dmitry, a previous life didn't mean a good thing to him.
bottom of life.
A father forcing a fight.
In a life filled with blood, the young boy had no choice but to grow into a demon in order to survive.
But now it was different.
For Roman Dmitry, who has entered a new life, his previous life is not a painful memory.
'It was like this in my previous life. I met people full of aspirations, and because of them, I was able to live a human life.'
Chris, Kevin.
Valentino, Fabius.
Edwin Hector, Daniel Cairo, etc.
They met Roman Dmitry and expressed their aspirations.
Confronting their aspirations: Chris's desire to be the best swordsman, Kevin's desire to escape the ghetto, and Valentino's desire for possession, Roman Dmitry wins a man in return for his desire.
At first, it was a simple transaction.
A transaction in return for aspiration builds a strong relationship of trust, so one by one he accepted the beings he thought he needed to live a new life.
and they
filled my whole life.
Roman Dmitry lived as a human being, so he calmly accepted the last three years of doing nothing.
'I want people who are thirsty for life. The kind of people who do not despair at the bottom of life, but climb up cliffs like crazy. Those who helplessly watch the sky fall cannot go forward with me.'
Desire is the driving force of life.
so that.
I didn't like people like Kang Min-ho.
The intense longing that reminds me of my past life gave me a direction for how to live in the future.
Roman Dmitry said.
"From the moment I decide to start a new life, I will form a realm of my own that no one can touch. This work is just the beginning. You make sense, but I don't want to live in peace with beings who have shown hostility to me. So choose."
The presence was inflated.
Looking at Kang Min-ho, he clearly engraved what kind of person he was facing now.
"If you are worried about your well-being because of what will happen from now on, step back. You weren't obligated to do that from the beginning. But if you take me to Redmoon's stronghold and say you'll take the risk, if you say you'll live for me in the future. I will make your wish come true. By my side, you will be able to live the life you desire."
Kang Min-ho's eyes widened.
unexpected remarks.
I couldn't answer quickly.
He had never thought of living for anyone but his daughter, but he felt his heart beating like crazy.
It was instinct.
if this person
If you are with this person.
It seemed like a dream could come true.
Not only getting into shelter with her daughter, but much more.
"… … I will do it together. If you make my aspirations come true, I can give my life."
mere answer.
It was enough.
As always, the process of accepting people did not require many conditions.
Roman Dmitry said.
"Guide us to Redmoon's stronghold. From now on, you will know who I am."

Redmoon Guild Master.
Cha Dong-cheol was looking down at Incheon city from the window.
'It's been 5 years since I escaped from Seoul. I didn't have anything back then, but I'm different now.'
5 years ago.
Cha Dong-cheol, who was promoted to Grade B, did not know that he was high in the sky with the pride of being a peak hunter, and met a man while he was arguing around.
I didn't know then. The fact that, even for the same climax hunter, Grade A and Grade B are completely different.
Cha Dong-cheol lost one eye due to the fight that day, and left for Incheon, thinking that he could no longer live in Seoul.
choice at that time.
People laughed.
Since high-ranking hunters are not treated except in Seoul, people scoffed at Cha Dong-cheol for falling to the bottom.
I have spent the past five years enduring such humiliation. Hunters from Incheon flocked to the title of "Climax Hunter", and now it has become a huge guild with about 100 hunters.
My right eye twitched.
It was soon.
If promoted to A-class, Cha Dong-cheol will seek revenge for the being who made him like this.
'Salgwi (殺鬼). You may have forgotten me, but I haven't forgotten you. wait. I'll be back soon.'

Among the few A-class hunters in Korea, he is known to be the most militant.
Cha Dong-cheol felt the wall the day he met him.
The ghost was born with the ability of a lore, and he clearly witnessed what would happen if only 0.01% of special beings were born with talent.
Truly an overwhelming swordsmanship. Cha Dong-cheol knelt on his knees in the attack that cut through his body, and the opponent was very expensive and cut out his eyes with a sword.
5 years of time.
It was different now than it was then.
Cha Dong-cheol worked hard to rise to A-grade, and a year ago, he had a huge talent.
'The stone of memory. An object that allows people who are not born with the ability to pass on to transcend the boundaries of a dimension. I gained the ability to transmit through the Memory Stone. If you lead the Red Moon after being promoted to A-grade and attack the Scorpion, no matter how strong the Scorpion is, you will not be able to handle the group led by me alone.'
laughter came out.
It was luck.
It was clear that Heaven's will to take revenge on the ghost was clear that he received a stone of memory that he could not buy even if he paid millions of dollars.
wow.
Curl rumble.
As I clenched my fists, my mana swelled up.
intense power.
I wanted to take the promotion test right away.
At the moment announcing the birth of a new A-class hunter, Red Moon will become famous not only in Incheon, but also in Seoul.
That's when I was so full of hope.
I heard the sound of pouring cold water.
"Guild Master! There is a problem!"

Seeing him talking with an urgent face, Cha Dong-cheol frowned.
"What's going on?"
"The unidentified person we were trying to recruit this time came to the guild. By the way… … ."
"By the way?"
"He said he killed Koh Sang-ho."
"What?!"

I left my seat and got up.
Koh Sang-ho's death.
It was unacceptable news that made Cha Dong-cheol angry.
