Chapter 7 - Beginning of the War (2) (2/2)

“Yes, Hyung-nim.”

The man holding Kang-jun’s arms released him.

“You b.a.s.t.a.r.d! Today you are lucky.”

“If you do something like this again, your eyes will be pulled out.”

Kang-jun turned and limped away.

The man in the red suit laughed at the sight. He had felt an creepy yet worrisome feeling from Kang-jun.

‘I stressed over a cripple. I must have been over-reacting.’

Meanwhile, Kang-jun placed a hand on his chest.

The man in the red suit didn’t know about black magic but had obviously sensed something. As a result, he almost died. If he hadn’t said those words about being a celebrity then it was likely his eyes would be plucked out and then he would be beaten.

‘I need to be more careful about who I use black magic on in the future.’

This happened because he was too weak.

He needed to open the door to Hwanmong and raise his level. He would reach a level where he was strong enough to win again the red suited man.

‘You will see soon. Bullying me. What? Pull out my eyes?’

Kang-jun memorized the faces of the red suited man and his henchmen. He would make them aware of it in the future. Today he wouldn’t touch them.

Since then, Kang-jun only targeted those he was confident about as targets for the black magic.

He targeted the thugs and bullies as secretly as possible.

So after exploring the streets at night for a while?

[Black Magic Energy 100/100]

Before he knew it, all the black magic energy had been filled.

New messages immediately appeared in front of Kang-jun.

[Enough black magic energy has been gathered to open the door to Hwanmong.’

[The door to Hwanmong will open when you sleep.]

‘Huh?’

Kang-jun was puzzled by the unexpected words that appeared about the door to Hwanmong. What did it mean by the door opening when he slept?

Sleeping would open the door to Hwanmong. But why would it open when he slept?

‘Come to think of it!’

Perhaps in his dreams?

Hwanmong! (Empty dream)! It made sense when thinking of the meaning of the word.

Kang-jun hurried back to his gos.h.i.+won. He washed himself and immediately lay on the bed.

But sleep didn’t come easily.

It was 3 a.m. His normal routine meant he usually went to sleep at 9 a.m.

‘It isn’t easy trying to force myself to sleep. Maybe I should take a sleeping pill.’

It might be helpful to falling asleep. However, there was no where to buy sleeping pills this early in the morning.

‘I don’t know. I will close my eyes and eventually fall asleep.’

He pretended to sleep for a long time until it hit 5 a.m.

[The door to Hwanmong is open.]

[Mission 1 has been accomplished.]

The door to Hwanmong opened and the first mission was complete.

Kang-jun was surprised as he heard a voice.

Was this a dream? Reality?

‘Then this place is…?’

Kang-jun instinctively felt like he was in his gos.h.i.+won.

A cramped room. But it was strangely empty. His single bed, desk and even TV couldn’t be seen.

What was going on?

He was even wearing unfamiliar clothes. The mysterious clothes had a rough feeling as he touched it.

‘What is this? Dream?’

Of course it was a dream.

Improbable things could happen in a dream.

Sure enough.

[You have to entered the world of Hwanmong.]
