CHAPTER 237: MAIN CHARACTER PRIVILEGE

[A few minutes earlier...]

SONG Moonho looked up when his Status Window popped up.

[It’s done, Hunter Song Moonho.]

Ah, finally.

Ever since he left the Big 4’s side, the System had never stopped convincing him to come back to the "right" path.

Hence, he asked the System to do something for him.

[As a token of gratitude for being the previous world’s main character, the System grants you One Way Ticket to Hell. As its name suggests, you can only use this ticket to enter the other world in your physical body.

However, the System cannot guarantee your safe return to this world.

The other world is under the jurisdiction of another System.

Would you still like to use this reward?]

Of course.

"Are you ready, Moonho-ssi?" the Commander asked, stabbing the air with a small knife. "Remember— you must kill Gong Yool before he enters the dungeon. Use the one-time-use device that I gave you to get close to Gong Yool without a problem."

"I know what I need to do," Song Moonho said. "I’ll put your ability to good use."

The Commander just nodded, and then he ripped the space open with his small knife.

Obviously, it was an Item from the dungeon that could create portals.

[It’s an interesting Item.]

Moonho stepped inside the portal, which looked like a Whirlpool.

As soon as he did, he instantly arrived at the Namsan Tower.

Now he was suspended in the air while watching the fight happening below him.

He didn’t care about the fight.

His eyes only looked for one person, and when he finally found him...

Moonho smiled at Yool, completely ignoring Graham who was acting like a dog. "Hi, baby."

As expected, Yool only frowned at his greeting.

[Adorable.]

But Moonho didn’t like how Graham was sticking to his Yool.

[Let’s use that device.]

He pulled out the monocle from the inner pocket of his jacket, and then he wore it while looking at Graham.

[Switch.]

Just like that, Moonho switched places with Graham.

And the monocle, a one-time-use Item, broke as a result.

"You switched places?" Yool asked in disbelief. "When did you get that kind of ability, Ahjussi?"

"That’s a trade secret, Yool-ah," Moonho said, smiling. And then he grabbed Yool by the waist. "Now, let’s go to the other world together."

Well, to be precise, he was bringing Yool’s soul with him.

Moonho’s Status Window popped up.

[Would you like to use the One Way Ticket to Hell now?]

He didn’t hesitate to press the Yes button.

And, just like that, Moonho disappeared with Gong Yool’s soul.

***

"NOOO!"

That angry yell didn’t come from Graham even though he also wanted to scream after Song Moonho disappeared with Gong Yool.

It was the square-headed boss-level villain who came out of the portal after the old man.

[Based on the enemy’s reaction, it seemed like he also didn’t expect Song Moonho to betray them?]

Huh?

Then did Song Moonho help Yool cross to the other world?

[That should be me...]

But it wasn’t the right time to worry about that.

After all, Gong Yool fainted and fell on the ground after Song Moonho disappeared.

[Right— only Yool’s soul could cross to the other world.]

So, how did Song Moonho manage to come with Yool in his physical body?

Graham’s thought was only interrupted when the ground shook hard, and then the Namsan Tower released a blinding light.

Oh, right.

[Chu Wonhee’s friend is supposed to come out after Yool enters the dungeon.]

***

FINALLY.

Hamin was waiting silently in front of the entrance of the Namsan Tower.

He left the fight with Jang Semi and the others because those Hunters were stronger than him anyway.

Moreover, he had a different priority.

[Bitna...]

The ground shook and the Namsan Tower exploded some blinding light for a moment. And when everything went back to normal, it appeared.

A literal wooden door appeared right in front of the tower.

And then the door slowly opened up.

"Do I really need to see you first of all people, Hyung?"

Ah, it was really her.

A petite woman with green hair stepped out of the door wearing the same clothes that Hamin remembered her wearing the first time they met: black tracksuit and white sneakers.

[And this woman...]

"You didn’t grow an inch, did you?" Hamin asked, knitting his eyebrows. "I think you even shrunk a little..."

"I didn’t shrink— you’re just annoyingly too tall."

Yeah, this was really the Bitna he knew.

Rude, sassy, and hot-tempered.

"It’s kinda chaotic, huh?" Bitna said, amused. "But I don’t see Chu Wonhee anywhere. I hope she’s safe."

"Why are you worrying about other people when you should worry about yourself?" Hamin asked, sighing. "How do you feel now that you’re free from the dungeon."

"I didn’t want you to be the first person I see, Hyung."

"Then should I call your family..."

Oh.

Hamin instantly realized his mistake when Bitna’s face darkened.

"Hyung, I feel the strong urge to kill those bastards," Bitna said bitterly, her eyes glowing menacingly. "You better knock me out before I commit mass murder."

She didn’t need to ask twice.

He did what she wanted because he didn’t want an old friend to become a criminal just after she regained her freedom.

And, so, Hamin hit the back of Bitna’s neck and caught her before she hit the ground.

[She’s so light.]

Moreover, now that Hamin was looking closely, he could see that Bitna was also skinny and pale.

[I should feed her with lots of healthy food.]

***

YOOL felt like his entire body was hit by a truck.

He was already conscious, but he couldn’t open his eyes yet.

However, he could hear loud voices around him.

"I swear I saw Hyung move his finger!"

Huh?

"Call the doctor!"

"Hyung, please wake up..."

What?

These voices sounded familiar.

"Hyung, Solar wouldn’t be complete without you!"

Ah.

That was the name of his group back when he was living as Ong Yool.

[I’m back...]

Yool slowly opened his eyes, and...

"Hyung!"

[Ah, my old group mates.]

Yool was, indeed, back home.
