”What?”

”That's…”

”They are now hunting down the monsters that came through the Gate.”

”How can that be…!”

It was amazing news, but also unbelievable.

”The Keroxes are especially good at it.”

”Keroxes?”

”You mean, THOSE Keroxes?”

”They are hunting down the young, the females, or the lone roaming monsters.”

”That's good news!”

”Great!”

Everyone seemed happy at the news. If the monster problem was dealt with, then there was nothing holding them back anymore.

”Our 15th Giant Steel Refinery of Magnos is about to be finished. The Magnos Elder council wants Your Majesty's congratulatory speech. We have also been informed that the Magnos population is now over 15 million.”

”Reporting on the Daruan Mountain Range. We have found three possible mining spots with ease of development and low danger. We also…”

Longer reports continued while Joonbum was thinking about the monsters.

”That is the end of the report, your Majesty.”

Joonbum waved his hand and the people exited the room, except for Jackson and Doral.

”Ugh, dammit Jackson! Can't you do something about this? Do you really need me here? It's all been decided and it's just a report anyway!”

Jackson just smiled, but that was it. He didn't even respond. Joonbum frowned.

'Dammit. It's not working.'

”I have other news, sir. We have a meeting request from Seoul city.”

Jackson changed topics instead. Doral became intrigued.

”A meeting?”

Joonbum also seemed curious. Jackson continued, ”It seems that they are discussing whether they should return or not. It's as we expected.”

”I see. It's about time then.”

Joonbum replied and Doral nodded. He then turned to Jackson. There were no words spoken, but Jackson merely smiled.

”So, I have to go?”

”You have to go, Your Majesty.”

Joonbum grimaced. He had no good memories of Earth. And even if he did, he didn't want to go when the world he knew was already gone.
