Chapter 7 (1/2)
Chapter 7: I will think about it (4)
He found out about the location of the epic-cla.s.s dungeon. But there isn’t a way to get inside?
There is only one possible reason. Someone has already opened the dungeon and entered it.
Kim Cheol-Soo nodded his head.
He already disclosed the information about the epic-cla.s.s dungeon. He was prepared to reveal all of the hidden truth behind the epic-cla.s.s dungeon.
“My little brother opened the door 6 years ago. Then …. .”
Kim Cheol-Soo tightly bit his lips, and his eyes reddened.
He could not utter anything right away.
After taking a couple of breaths, he finally opened his mouth.
“My little brother is trapped inside the epic-cla.s.s dungeon after going in there by himself. But he is not dead yet. My little brother is still alive.”
Went in a epic-cla.s.s dungeon alone and could not leave even after 7 years?
It was sensible and normal to think that he was dead.
If he was alive, he would have already cleared the dungeon long time ago and left the dungeon. I mean who would stay in a epic-cla.s.s dungeon crowded with dangerous monsters after clearing it once?
Nevertheless, Kim Cheol-Soo was doubtlessly confident.
Park Chun-woo believed that Kim Cheol-Soo had a reason to be so confident, for he was reasonable guy. Park Chun-woo hurriedly thought of Kim Cheol-Soo’s little brother.
‘Yeah he did have a little brother in the past.’
*(TL: Talking about his previous reincarnations)
Park Chun-woo remembered his life before he reincarnated.
Kim Cheol-Soo had a late-born younger brother. However, he became a hunter before Kim Cheol-Soo, awakening as an A-Cla.s.s hunter. He joined the mercenary group and became a very active soldier. *(If you don’t see the name of TL and PR, this was stolen)
But one day, he went missing.
Kim Cheol-Soo started and managed the search party by himself. He searched all over Korea to find his brother.
Although they found corpses of other mercenaries in his group, Kim Cheol-Soo could not find his little brother’s corpse. Even after two months, the search still had the same result.
It was eventually end as “missing.” Park Chun-woo just remembers Kim Cheol-Soo teary face.
Kim Cheol-Soo did not learn or find anything about his little brother even before Park Chun-woo’s death.
But this time, it was different.
Kim Cheol-Soo’s brother was still alive in an epic-cla.s.s dungeon, holding on to his dear life. There were a lot of changes compared to his previous life.
Park Chun-woo tried to pretend as calm as he could. It took a lot of concentration and focus to suppress his chaotic and troubled heart.
‘Just because I quit being a hunter a lot of stuff changed. Ah. Why did it had to become so complex and tangled?’
Kim Cheol-Soo did not become a hunter, and his missing brother who should have went “missing” was still alive. The only problem was that he could not leave the dungeon.
If these were the only changes, Thank G.o.d.
One change alone can cause countless changes and variations. Even the smallest change does not stop after one time. It only stops after causing multiple alterations.
Up to now, all the changes were like that. Regretfully, there wasn’t a single exception.
Will it just end with Kim Cheol-Soo not awakening as hunter and his little brother still being alive?
No. It probably won’t.
My instinct told me that it wasn’t over yet. I felt like something big was going to happen.
“Excuse me for a sec.”
Park Chun-woo suddenly got up from his seat. He drank his usual
bottle after opening the fridge.
*(TL: We will get to know what that “bottle” is in few chapters. One or two I believe?)
*(PR: I bet it’s soju. Or Red bull)
Gulp. Gulp.
After drinking the liquid in one go, he sat on his sofa once again. His eyes were loosened halfway.
“Huwu. If I don’t drink this I can’t think clearly. I will ask straightforwardly. How are you so sure that your little brother is not dead?”
“It is because of this.”
Kim Cheol-Soo showed him his wristband.
It had a simple design, but there was s.h.i.+ny red jewel engraved in the middle.
Park Chun-woo recognized the wristband immediately.
“It is a status wristband.”
*(TL: It can be also interpreted as relation or connection wristband)
Status wristband.
Two-piece set item for two people. Although it does not increase or help hunter’s stats in any way, it conveniently allows one to know other’s status.
If the jewel was s.h.i.+ning red it meant he or she was alive, blue light meant he or she was in a dangerous situation, and black light meant death.
It was considered very romantic and was popular among couples and the married. Kim Cheol-Soo, however, also had the item.
He had one of two wristband.
And, the wristband was s.h.i.+ning with a red light.
“My younger brother has the other wristband.”
“He is definitely alive.”
“If he was dead I would not be so persistent, but as long as he is alive, I want to save him no matter what. So, I cannot afford to lose the northern territories even it kills me in the process. Because China will surely try to find their way inside the S-Cla.s.s dungeon by any means possible.” *(If you don’t see the name of TL and PR, this was stolen)
“I need to think about it.”
“Then, I shall come again later.”
“It’s okay. I only need about 10 minutes.”
“Then, I shall wait for you in the car.”
Kim Cheol-Soo immediately left the room.
The promised 10 minutes had pa.s.sed. After exactly 10 minutes, Park Chun-woo left the room and gestured Kim Cheol-Soo to come back with his hand.
Kim Cheol-Soo entered the room once again. Park Chun-woo just nodded his head.
“You can spread the word that I’m out of retirement.”
“Rea-Really?”
“But, you can only use my name. I will decide when to return…. when the time is right. Also, I don’t want other people to interfere or bother me anymore.”
