The announce, soh the person looked faht away

“You finally came?” Giant Fist asked the woered towards them “Where is your hat?”

“I don’t know They told me to leave it behind,” she said with a scowl “It’s not even a big deal How annoying What about you?”

“They took everything away Thankfully, they let me keep my fists” Giant Fist lifted both his hands up

Chi-Woo finally realized then that the woman in front of him was the woman with the beret hat Without her hat, her face was in full view, and she gave off a different air than before At a glance, she looked human, but further inspection revealed an alienness about her that suggested otherwise

‘I didn’t know she looked like this’ Chi-Woo looked closely at her to find the reason for her alienness and ended upthe woman’s eyes As soon as she saw him, she fixed her posture and said, “Nice to ether and bowed “It’s an honor My name is Mua Janya”

“Ah, I am—”

“Yes, I know You are Giant Fist’s childhood friend, right?”

Chi-Woo closed hisabout? He knew the woman are of his identity However, the beret hat woman—no, Mua Janya, quickly darted her eyes sideways, and Chi-Woo didn’t question her It appeared that she was purposefully speaking wrong infor this

‘She is telling me to keep my identity a secret’ It was the same in every world People connected to a faarnered a lot of attention, especially if they were a blood relative If one had to rank heroes and line them up in order, Choi Chi-Hyun would be on the first row; and even in this row, he would be standing right in the front He was the hero of heroes, the king, and the legend It was only natural that Choi Chi-Hyun’s one and only brother would attract all kinds of attention

And while soht be positive, there would also be those who saw hih there didn’t see on them, Chi-Woo decided to be careful just in case

“I bet you were really surprised e first met,” Mua Janya said in a low voice Chi-Woo s when Mua Janya suddenly intervened in hiswith Giant Fist

“Yeah A ton” It especially shocked hi away a titan of a ht you were collaborating with Giant Fist to con me”

“As if I’m more like a stalker than a collaborator”

“Haha…is that so…wait, stalker?”

“I had been spying on you guys froht,” she said cal, but she readily adht?’ He hadn’t noticed her at all then

“It’s because I was asked to do so,” Mua Janya clarified

“By my brother?”

“Yes He told me to protect you…”

Chi-Woo stared at Mua Janya intently The captain of the boat who drove his

“Did he tell you tolike that” Mua Janya ad question he had; why did his brother and his whole family hide their identities from him? It was the first question he wanted to ask his brother when Chi-Woo met him

“Sorry I only received the request and didn’t hear anything else” It was a reply that Chi-Woo had expected Mua Janya continued, “I also asked him for an explanation, but he wouldn’t tell me” ‘Of course, he wouldn’t’ “Truthfully, I’m not even supposed to tell you this” Mua Janya shook her head sideways

“Why are you tellingher head

“I wanted to tell you before it was too late However, things have already progressed to this point, and it’s not like you can turn back now…” Mua Janya spoke bitterly and slightly hung her head Her lips twitched a bit before she muttered quietly, “We don’t knoill happen after we are transmitted Moreover, since I failed to fulfill Sir Chi-Hyun’s request…I felt like I had to atone for it in so this word today He wondered what in the world his brother did that Laguel and Mua Janya would act like this Chi-Woo bla him in such an uncomfortable position

“It’s all my fault There’s no need for you to also coan to feel sorry as he listened to Mua Janya and spoke up to apologize, but Mua Janya cut him off immediately

“You, shut up” It was completely different from the way she addressed Chi-Woo

“Anyways, it’s fine,” Mua Janya said While Giant Fist slouched in the corner, she cleared her throat “It’s ret it”

Chi-Woo became speechless It seemed many had beco to Although he hadn’t forced anyone to act, there was a part of hi!

A strong vibration shook the area Shocked, Chi-Woo saw a faint halo of light rise froht lines were drawn to forht and shone straight at Chi-Woo, enveloping hi to take over his body It didn’t take long for the light to sub particles

‘My body is…?’ It was turning into light And that wasn’t all; Chi-Woo realized that he couldn’t hear any sound at all He saw Mua JanyaHe had lost all his senses except for his sight His surroundings suddenlylight had reached the top of his head now Chi-Woo watched as giant pillars of light shot up fro to break the ceiling

Every hero underwent the sa Chi-Woo, and they all siht There wasn’t even aaround to pay their respects suddenly becaht then vanished Chi-Woo lost his sight, which one It felt like he had beco Co swept so in a vast sea of darkness He didn’t knohere he was going nor whether he had stopped In his anxious state, Chi-Woo spotted so in the darkness: the ainst the canvas of nothingness

Various shapes quickly flashed past hi him of what one sahen they pressed their arht approached hi star At first, it was the size of a dust speck, but it grew bigger and bigger The light pillars that had vanished appeared faintly into view again Its long tails stretched outwards and bent towards the star; and following the pillars’ trajectory, bursts of lights shot down likeone of them

‘That star is…’ It was the star that placed the entire galaxy in danger: Liber

‘…What?’ Chi-Woo wondered So fro behind the others until he seeether No, he and only he had stopped hts grew distant from him until they disappeared, and he was all alone Before he could wonder why, the space in front of Chi-Woo stretched horizontally

‘What is it this ti ball of light in one bite and closed instantly, as if it was hiding froht he had lived a special life, but considering the way his life unfolded, it was difficult to think that special necessarily ood In fact, dictionaries defined the word ‘special’ as ‘different froood and bad, he considered itthings nor, his house was never free from incidents Thus, Chi-Woo always had to live in fear and anxiety, not knoould happen next He had to worry about strange beings causing hi winded into soer

Before he even entered elenosed with anxiety disorder; he had believed the beings only he could see to be the cause It was only after he grew up a bit that he thought the spirits ot used to them Eventually, he reached the point where he saw spirits so frequently that they no longer scared hi to deal with later on And so, after he grew indifferent to these beings, there was no need for him to shi+ver in anxiety This was the same for the tu all kinds of strange situations, Chi-Woo was now unfazed by even the most bizarre situations Yet, even then, Chi-Woo was always anxious He couldn’t really understand why, and his childhood trauh of an explanation

Everyone probably experienced this sensation at least once as a student—the anxiety one feels at having not studied enough for an upco test In this case, the solution was siht process, Chi-Woo concluded that the cause of his ht be he hadn’t accepted his role as a shaman[1] and served a God
