After sharing brief goodbyes with my companions, I immediately sent a message to the
[Constellation, 'Father of the Rich Night', has permitted your entry.]
[Constellation, 'Queen of the Darkest Spring', has permitted your entry.]
[Nebula,
Tsu-chuchuchuchut!
Now originally, it was not easy to leave beyond the scenario's boundaries when a massive scenario was already underway. However, the
I was really grateful for that.
I might be called their successor, but, I haven't even paid them a proper visit to say hello after getting their help the last time…..
Now that I thought about it, I was kind of apprehensive, too; what if the reason for them permitting my entry without any issues was to beat me up for not visiting the
– Kim Dok-Ja.
A message suddenly came flying in and startled me. I quickly looked up. It wasn't via [Midday Tryst], which meant there could be only one who had sent me this message.
– What's this? I thought you'd be busy after becoming the branch manager. But you still have enough leeway to mind what's happening this side, too?
– No, I don't. I made time, though.
Bihyung, floating in the air, grumbled a bit while sucking on leaf tobacco. This guy…. It looked as if he was fatigued from overworking after becoming a manager recently. He stared at me with complicated eyes and let a long sigh escape from his lips. I sensed the surrounding channels' transmissions get blocked off temporarily.
– You're trying to do something really dangerous.
– When did I ever not do that?
– This is different from the past. This time, the entirety of the
– I think I've heard that hundreds of times by now.
– You keep this up, and all the Probability's karma you've accumulated so far will blow up in your face. You know what that means, don't you?
I nodded my head. I clearly saw all the horrifying things that happened after the twisted Probability exploded forth back in the 'Demon King Selection'.
And honestly, I'd been often feeling as if I was standing on a Jenga tower missing quite a few blocks lately.
– You be careful now. You can't stay lucky forever. Even if you are under protection by Great Dokkaebis or Outer Gods…..
– Under the protection of who??
– ….Forget it. I shouldn't have said anything.
Bihyung shook his head and lightly spread some smoke in the air. When he did, the frozen channels began opening up once more with the tobacco smoke as the centre.
– Come back alive. Don't die.
– Is that something you should say to a guy heading to the netherworld?
He didn't have to say anything, but I knew that, most likely, Bihyung had been stopping all the interference attempts coming from the Bureau. He was just a measly little low-ranked Dokkaebi the first time we met, but now, he became big enough to help me out in this manner. Indeed, one had to live long enough first to see something like this.
[Transmission through space-time has begun.]
All sensory perception seemed to split apart before me and when I opened my eyes again, the blackened and withered grounds of the netherworld greeted my presence. It was the
I walked on the gravelled banks of the dried-up river and headed off towards Hades's palace for a while. The moment I stepped inside the outer castle, though, tens of thousands of gazes landed on me as if they had been waiting for my arrival.
