one step towards the future

    "Wow, that''s amazing. The challenger is beating the champion."

    "Can you believe what you are seeing?"

    The voices of the narrator and caster were full of excitement.

    "If it was the world before the Cataclysm, that would be enough. It''s like meeting a wild bear."

    On the screen, a documentary of a human being beaten down in front of a bear was unfolding.

    "Oh, the champion is down. Hiro showed great performances as if it was only a small part of what he had seen so far, but the challenger was too overwhelming."

    "I wonder how the hell is that possible. The champion''s awakening grade is SS, and the challenger''s grade is B."

    uh? The moment I speak... ."

    It looks like a giant bear is whispering into Lee Seong-woo''s ear, who has fallen to the floor.

    "It looks like a scene from a fairy tale."

    "It looks like the champion has given up any further resistance."

    As the commentary said, Lee Seong-woo seemed to have given up the resistance itself. No, he may have fainted.

    "As soon as I speak, the referee''s end call is dropped. The era of Hiro, who had been solo for two years and three months, is coming to an end. A new champion is born!"

    The waiting referee, announcer, and other staff, such as a healer, rushed into the arena, but had to stop at the roar of the bear.

    "Huh? what? Hiro''s condition looks dangerous.

    "Yes, you need to be treated quickly. The game is over, but we can''t stop treatment like that. Treatment is urgently needed."

    At that moment, the bear standing proudly beckoned.

    The pointed cameraman and the announcer approaching were reflected.

    The screen that was holding the entire stadium changed to the cameraman''s point of view, and Suho was taken from close range.

    "Uh-huh."

    The bear made a threatening sound and struck Lee Seong-woo, who was lying on the floor.

    "Big."

    As he was still lying down while moaning, he picked up the nape of his neck. Then the bear put his face, hanging from my hand, into the camera.

    "Ugh."

    Seongwu Lee, who was moved by the roar, said as if squeezing it out.

    "I will never again invade the territory of the Guardian Guild."

    The bear put the nape of Lee Seong-woo down as if he was satisfied.

    tuk.

    "Great."

    Healing awakeners rushed towards Lee Seong-woo, who fell to the floor again, and treated him.

    "Big."

    Lee Seong-woo, who had come to his senses a little, took the guidance of the staff with a disappointed expression. His face was not very good with pain and shame.

    "Coooooooo!"

    Suho raised his hands and roared.

    Only the roar of Suho filled the Tokyo stadium where silence fell.

    The Korean media was outraged.

    ; World Champion! Proud Koreans.

    ; Never-before-seen! Conquering the Awakened World of Korea.

    ; SFC barren? No Champion Distributing Countries!

    Articles full of soup were poured out, and search terms, which are indicators of hot issues and public interest, were lined up with things related to Suho.

    1. Park Soo-ho Seungri interview.

    2. Victory Allowance

    3. Champion Salary

    4. SFC replay

    5. Highlights

    6. Event Match Highlights.

    7. Whisper

    8. Conversation with Park Soo-ho and Lee Seong-woo

    .

    The whole of Korea was in a rage.

    And among them, Uijeongbu had a festive atmosphere.

    A clan that started with three Awoken and two staff has become a level 6 guild with over 30 members.

    It was not officially recognized, and there was no proper raid, but it was approved by the government.

    A situation in which the reputation of the mercenary industry cannot be good.

    Although there was no time to listen to other people''s evaluations or to meet, the members themselves were aware of their shortcomings.

    But the guild master became the champion.

    It was an event that was enough to shake off the worries of the members who joined the Guardian Guild with a private house.

    The people of the Guardian Guild, who had gathered to watch the game, cheered.

    "I won!"

    "Wow, that''s cool!"

    Jun Ho! Your brother really won."

    "Wow, this is what I was holding on to a golden copper wire."

    At Junho''s recommendation, the dragons and waste handlers who joined the guild were especially delighted.

    "Wow! The bear won."

    "Is the bear on our side?"

    "Geon-woo, your uncle is really strong!"

    right. awesome.

    The children who cheered and cheered among themselves and Myeongjo, who looked at them, quietly joined hands.

    "Wooden Guanyin Bodhisattva."

    Myungjin just quietly closed his eyes, and Jaesik shook his body.

    ''Crazy.''

    Because we participated in the dungeon raid together, I knew he was strong.

    He knew that he had great wide-ranging magic and taming skills, plus his fighting ability.

    However, there is a big difference between attacking dungeons against monsters and PvP as different fields.

    He prayed earnestly to defeat Lee Seong-woo, but he never dreamed that he would win so easily.

    ''To avoid becoming someone to Suho hyung .''

    He thanked Suho for calling him and made up his mind.

    The current guardian guild, except for the guardian, is virtually impossible to even be a level 1 guild.

    Myungjin, Dongsu, Junho, and Jaesik.

    What kind of raid can you beat with just four people?

    Hundreds or thousands of raids with this power must have been deployed in South Korea.

    "Wow, look at Lee Seong-woo''s tail."

    Lee Seong-woo''s declaration of surrender was being broadcast without filtration. It is none other than Dong-soo who sees it more than anyone else.

    ''After all, the view king is true education.''

    I couldn''t keep up with the stadium because I didn''t have SFC''s broadcasting rights, but it doesn''t matter anyway.

    Champion Park Soo-ho.

    Now, no matter what you do, the number of views you take will come out.

    "Wow? Is it over already? Everyone, please take this with you."

    Lee Sook-ja, who was a secretary at the time of the clan''s formation, became the Welfare Manager of the Guardian Guild. He oversees the staff cafeteria and oversees the work related to house cleaning and employee welfare.

    I do it myself, but I am not alone, and there are already five employees in the Ministry of Welfare.

    "Hey, when did you make this much?"

    The staff rushed to get a tray.

    "Before Mr. Jeong came, he had a chicken restaurant."

    "Fish oil, it''s a no-brainer. Enjoy it."

    Mrs. Jung, who came in as an employee of the Ministry of Welfare, laughed wildly. Contrary to his words, he could feel his pride in his confident face.

    With 30 employees and children, almost 50 people eat it, so the preparation time is long.

    The match has already ended, but sooner or later this place has become like a party to celebrate. The beers came and went and chatted to each other.

    "Because I didn''t know Junho hyung was such a great person."

    Right. When I asked to work together, I actually came here because I didn''t have a job, but I didn''t expect much."

    "You can leave if you want."

    "Hey, don''t say scary things. I''m going to bury my bones here.

    Heh heh heh, I''ll bring my whole family here when I settle down.

    The site of Uijeongbu is large enough.

    Buildings were all the buildings that the 3rd Corps headquarters had used before, but the size of a small town could be achieved by repairing only the buildings inside the wall.

    It''s a town where champions live.

    If the 13th district of Seoul is widely designated around this place, one more section of the city will be created in the future.

    A lively dinner was in progress, and a Wyvern could be seen from the sky.

    "Wow, brother is coming."

    The guild family applauded the main character''s appearance.

    what? What are you eating other than me?"

    Suho, who jumped out, was greeted by the people and interrupted the dinner party.

    The staff and children glanced at Suho.

    Until now, it was a guild job. Instead of Suho, Junho, the vice president, took care of him. Most of the people gathered now are people he interviewed.

    Suho specializes in interviewing animals rather than people, and has spent all his time building a forest barrier in Uijeongbu for the last full week.

    Since there was no interaction with the employees, people who were seeing them for the first time looked at the boss and talked to each other.

    "You have suffered."

    Suho, who had just eaten a chicken leg, received a beer his brother gave him.

    "Say a word."

    At the focused attention, the staff helped out one word at a time.

    "It was great. boss!

    "Gilma-sama is the best!"

    Well?

    Looking around Suho''s face, there were quite a few strangers.

    What.

    Suho raised his beer.

    "If someone comes in again, don''t get everyone down."

    Jae-sik Jang and Myeong-jin, etc. made a bitter expression.

    It''s a number of people over fifty.

    My kitten, my family was feeling.

    I am satisfied with the increase in the number of subordinates.

    "Let''s have a good time."

    "Wow!"

    Take good care of me.

    "It''s the best."

    At Suho''s toast, people trembled and drank alcohol. As soon as the alcohol entered, the awakened people gathered around Suho while they were chatting.

    "Brother, what did you talk about with Lee Seong-woo in the end?"

    "Ah, that. What do you know as a regression stone?"

    no.

    "They said Ji returned to it."

    "Yeah? And?"

    "Is this the last day? Soon only 5% of humanity will remain. Wow, this is delicious. Where did the delivery come from?"

    " ."

    What are you talking about while eating chicken wings?

    Dong-soo quickly grasped the atmosphere and smiled.

    "Ahaha! Really brother. How can you make a joke so cruel?"

    "It''s not a joke."

    " ."

    "One of the things I''ve learned is the skill ''Spotting'', so if you lie in front of me, it will be all over.

    " ."

    Dong-soo''s expression hardened, and Jun-ho, who was beside him, became serious at the same time.

    "Is that all?"

    then?

    "No, what should be done? Seongwoo Lee doesn''t say anything?"

    "You did. I will not invade you again."

    "No, let''s join forces or something . Whoa, but is it possible to time travel to the past?"

    "Mom, I don''t know. The world has been turned upside down and it''s like time travel."

    Jaesik intervened in a serious conversation between Junho and Dongsoo.

    "If it''s true that Lee Seong-woo is a regressor, then doesn''t he know all the information about the future?"

    got it. But it doesn''t matter.

    Yes? How great is it to know the future? Even if only disaster is avoided in the future... ."

    Suho looked at the people who had become serious and asked.

    "Why does his past have to be my future?"

    " ."

    There is only one thing I have realized in the thousand years of solitude. By fixing the problems of the past in the present, we can achieve a better future.

    But for those who live in the past, there is no future.

    "The time that has passed cannot be saved. Ready for the future? You are doing it now."

    Create a nest and gather subordinates to protect the realm.

    "Then what about the others? You say that only 5% of humanity survives?"

    Suho looked at Dongsoo and smiled.

    He reveals some money, but he''s a good guy.

    "Dongsoo. What kind of protector of humanity are you when you can''t even run a 2-star dungeon by yourself?

    " ."

    "What kind of world peace is it that I can''t even protect myself?"

    "But my brother ."

    "Is there any other country?"

    became world champion. But he is only human.

    "Then are you going to ignore me like this?"

    "No."

    Suho shook his head.

    "It''s not about killing someone and saving someone."

    How does an individual make a distinction between surviving humans?

    It''s about saving people.

    Why do we need a reason to save our people and survive together?

    Suho saw his younger brother, guild members, and several people who came with them.

    "You have to be strong."

    You can''t do everything alone.

    You can''t save everyone.

    The members of my group will do their best to protect them. Because that''s the boss''s job.

    Your kin will also help.

    The longing for humans was the pillar that defined those long years as humans and did not destroy themselves.

    Nevertheless, the weaker groups will be eliminated from the struggle for survival. You don''t have to be sad about it.

    The selection of the weak and the survival of the strong are providences.

    Dong-soo was amazed.

    "So you saved Lee Seong-woo as well. Are you on the same side now?"

    no.

    The stage of activity is different.

    The territory did not overlap with Korea and Japan, and we were assured of non-aggression. Even so, I have nothing to do with him.

    I saved him because there was no reason to kill him.

    If you''re not a psychopath, why would you kill for meat you won''t even eat?

    "No, you know what I''m going to do later? Just looking at it, it seems like he was working hard to kill that little brother."

    Do you kill people for fear of repercussions?

    not afraid at first

    It''s enough to just chase them so they don''t come close again.

    "I am older."

    Dongsu was excited for no other reason.

    "What about us but your brother?"

    Revenge for those around you.

    It is the judgment of the same number that if it is a psychopath like Lee Seong-woo, it is possible enough.

    "You can be older than him."

    " ."

    Ah, we just need to follow in the footsteps of hyung to be 2nd and 3rd in the world rankings.

    Words are so easy
