1.

Kim Tae-hoon drank his coffee and kept his mouth shut.

The coffee was quite hot, so he wanted to spit it out or swallow it. But he put up with the heat until it melted his frozen mind.

The smell of coffee released Kim Tae-hoon's frozen mind. Only then did Kim Tae-hoon start thinking.

'It is a type of foresight. What I dreamt of is a foresight of my death.'

He knew one thing clear at this moment. What he saw was not a mistake or fantasy, but a crisis that would come to a man named Kim Tae-hoon someday.

After his mind cleared, Kim Tae-hoon began to analyze the things he saw in his dream.

'I looked at Jang Sung-hoon's face, and it is not in the very distant future.'

The most important thing was time.

The only clue to gauge the timing was Jang Sung-hoon's age, which he could guess through his face.

The Jang Sung-hoon in his dreams seemed to be in his mid-twenties.

Jang Sung-hoon was now in his early twenties, so this was not to far away. But it was not in the immediate future.

'Three to five years.'

It would be as early as three years, or as late as five years.

The next important clue was the name, Lim Hyun-joon.

'Commander-in-Chief Lim Hyun-joon. That means Colonel Lim Hyun-joon now.'

Colonel Lim Hyun-joon.

Kim Tae-hoon knew that he was a tactician and an ambitious person.

He was also a man on the elite course in the Defense Ministry. Not only did he produce good results as an officer, but he also had good political sense, and he was an influential person in the next generation of the military.

He was an influential person of the next generation, but it was impossible for him to become the Commander-in-Chief, the peak of the army, a general, even if he was given ten years to advance.

'He's the Commander-in-Chief...'

Of course, the world was already beyond the ordinary. Moreover, he had learned what the consequences would be.

What he needed to do now is to guess the processes that ended up with the results he had seen.

'In the future, the military seems to be operating normally.'

One, having a Commander-in-Chief meant that the military system was operating. It meant that society was not in complete anarchy.

'The fact that Lim Hyun-joon became the top leader of the army, and it is so organized... means that he survived and made a remarkable contribution.'

Two, the fact that the Commander-in-Chief of such an army was Colonel Lim Hyun-joon meant that he had played a decisive role in reforming the military.

It would not have been something simple. It would have been at the level of saving the country, in fact, a level of achievement that had created a new military.

'Right now he is in the 8th Division.'

Colonel Lim Hyun-joon's current affiliation was the 8th Mechanized Infantry Division.

It was called the ”Roly Poly” unit, and it had powerful weapons, excellent means of transportation, and tanks, unlike the general infantry divisions.

'He considered the emergence of monsters as an opportunity, not a crisis.'

Colonel Lim had the ability to set up such remarkable achievements by commanding the firepower and troops under his influence.

'I think the 8th Division is the best place to be in, in the present situation.'

The 8th Division was located in Pocheon, Gyeonggi Province.

The front line was close, but they were not facing the North Korean army directly. That was why it was advantageous.

Even if the front line encountered monsters, they could not lead their troops to the rear immediately, because they did not know what the North Korean army would do. At the same time, it is not easy to get resupplied.

Compared to them, the 8th Division could go up to the front line, or it can head down to the rear.

'I have to go to Pocheon, too.'

In other words, Pocheon, where the 8th Division was located, was not safe at present, but it was highly likely that the military was playing a role there, at the very minimum.

He should go to Pocheon and contact Colonel Lim Hyun-joon. Since he had learned the man would become such an important figure, he could not treat him as a chicken or a cow.

His thinking on Colonel Lim Hyun-joon got to that point. But there was more important information.

'Weapons.'

In his dream, that Kim Tae-hoon had prepared various kinds of weapons ahead of the battle with the dragon.

They couldn't possibly be normal weapons. They would be items made from monsters and high-grade relics.

Of course, he had to reconstruct the appearance of those weapons, because their appearance would play a crucial role in guessing their identity.

'I also handled the weapons freely with my telekinesis.'

The sense of handling the weapon with the telekinesis was important!

Right now, his skill at using his telekinesis was not so good. That's why he didn't do much with his A-rank telekinesis right now.

Telekinesis was a force. Some are very easy, some are very difficult.

It wasn't that everything was done just by imagining it.

Even if you think of a picture in your mind, you need natural talent and skill to draw a picture from your mind on paper.

The Kim Tae-hoon in his dream was very skilled at his telekinesis. He made various kinds of weapons hover around him like they were alive.

'If I had looked closely at my stats, I would have been clearer on what to do.'

Anyway, he had to achieve the skill of using weapons with telekinesis he had seen in his dreams. That was the minimum condition for survival until then.

Nevertheless, that Kim Tae-hoon failed to survive.

'There are fucking bastards.'

The Jang Sung-hoon in his dream said that there was no reason for Kim Tae-hoon to die. Nevertheless, because of the bastards, he faced death.

'There is a group, and they will try to get rid of me.'

He did not know its name, identity, or number, but it meant that he was up against an organization that wanted his death in the future.

'The reason they are trying to get rid of me is that I'm interfering with their interests.'

They wanted him dead because his actions interfered with their interests. What those interests were was simple.

What Kim Tae-hoon wanted in the future is to survive, he would remain a hunter for survival.

But someone did not want that. It meant that they either wanted the monsters to remain, or they did not want him to kill them.
