Ghost’s body, which Invisibility has been lifted after death, collapsed vainly to the floor.

When Kim Do Jin, who looked at it with indifferent eyes, snorted.

Crakakack-!

With the sound of glass cracking, the quiet surroundings began to become noisy.

It was an unexpected situation, but Kim Do Jin, who looked around, quickly guessed how this situation happened and drew a smile on his lips.

‘…So, you didn’t run away. Choi Yu Seong.’

Kim Do Jin didn’t know what he did, but it was clear that Choi Yu Seong solved a problem he was unaware of.

‘As expected, you don’t disappoint me.’

The more he thinks about it, the more he likes him.

As time goes by, his desire to more and more own things that he coveted is getting stronger.

‘The problem is that he’s a more blessed guy than he looks, so I don’t think it’ll be easy.’

In Kim Do Jin’s burning eyes, he could see figures crossing the night sky through the broken cracks.

None of them came to find Kim Do Jin.

Because he didn’t have any colleagues yet.

In other words, it means that all of them who have appeared now are Choi Yu Seong’s people.

There are already quite a few competitors.

‘It’s hard.’

Kim Do Jin had to meddle between them and win Choi Yu Seong’s complex heart.

Even Kim Do Jin is planning to kill Choi Yu Seong’s father, Choi Wu Jae.

There were too many obstacles in any way.

Still, he thought it couldn’t be helped.

‘Because I already want him.’

Kim Do Jin has strong self-esteem and a greedy personality which will be satisfied only when he wins what he has decided to have by any means.

It is no exaggeration to say that thanks to that, he survived on the Aliod Continent and was even able to defeat that world’s Demon King.

‘Well, it can’t be helped.’

Treasure that is originally difficult to obtain is more attractive.

Kim Do Jin’s eyes were filled with longing.

***

It is a green meadow.

A rabbit runs on it.

No, a strange human wearing a rabbit mask is running around.

Choi Yu Seong had no choice but to wonder about the very bizarre sight.

‘What is that?’

The question is just for a moment, the rabbit mask that flew like skipping stands right in front of Choi Yu Seong.

Then it lifted a blood-dripping claymore and said.

“Die.”

“…What?”

The moment Choi Yu Seong answered.

A huge claymore fell over his head and Choi Yu Seong screamed out in fear.

“Aargh-!”

Choi Yu Seong, who opened his eyes wide, shook his head while waving his arms in the air.

Jin Do Yun, who was watching it from the side, asked.

“Are you okay?”

“Did you even have a nightmare?”

Jin Yu Ri, who was on the other side, quickly brought a wet towel and wiped Choi Yu Seong’s sweaty forehead.

It was only then that Choi Yu Seong realized that the bizarre and terrible progress was a dream and breathed a sigh of relief.

‘Oh well, a mysterious human wearing a rabbit mask and wielding a claymore? How can someone like that exi…’

There is.

Choi Yu Seong’s eyes widened as he recalled the rabbit mask he last saw before losing consciousness.

“Oh my gosh. Choi Mi Na.”

“Yeah?”

At the suddenly mentioned dangerous name, both Jin siblings looked at Choi Yu Seong at the same time and asked.

‘Come to think of it, these two don’t know about it.’

Choi Mi Na wearing a rabbit mask and working in the Martial Guard Corps is a top-secret that very few people know about it.

Therefore, Choi Yu Seong was raising a topic from the two’s viewpoint as he suddenly brought up the name of Choi Mi Na who is the group’s most mysterious person.

“No, nothing. It’s just that Mi Na noonim came out in my dream.”

As always, half of the lies must be true.

“Why is it the Second Lady suddenly?”

Jin Yu Ri asked with a suspicious gaze.

“Huh. Seriously. Anyway, what happened? I…”

Choi Yu Seong’s gaze headed first to his right foot with a splint which was raised on the bed.

As he looked at it, he felt the pain again.

“It broke neatly, fortunately, so it wasn’t difficult to put it back again. The same goes for other injuries. The most severe thing was bleeding… But since you opened your eyes safely, it should be okay.”

“Hmm…”

Come to think of it, bandages were wrapped around his shoulders and all over his body.

It would be accurate to say that there is no place where the limbs are uninjured.

Choi Yu Seong let out a bitter smile inwardly.

Even thinking about it again, surviving that situation itself was really the realm of luck.

‘Because I met that Slaughterer Queen…’

She was even caught in a certain madness and tried to kill Choi Yu Seong at the end.

It would have been kidnapping and murdering exactly, but he escaped that crisis anyway.

A sigh of relief came out.

“So, I’m alive.”

When he thought of the crisis at that time, he now can greatly feel the reality.

That was a moment of a very great danger that was incomparable to before.

“It’s because the opponent was Demon King Worshipers who even had Barrier Scroll. Even that… Slaughterer Queen.”

As if Jin Yu Ri understood, she bit her lower lip and nodded.

“I also did not help much this time either.”

On the other hand, Jin Do Yun looked so upset while clenching his fists.

Although she didn’t express it, perhaps Jin Yu Ri also felt miserable.

Choi Yu Seong smiled and shook his head at the two.

“It’s not the fault of you both. Whether the Demon King Worshiper or the Barrier Scroll are too big variables.”

Considering the order of the novel progression in the first place, it was not a crisis of the degree that would already appear.

This is because The Master Who Return To Modern Times is close to a screwed-up genre where the OP main character acts coolly, so things that cannot be handled do not come quickly.

However, this world that became Choi Yu Seong’s reality was different.

If so, then what to do?

“Don’t blame yourself too much. I survived anyway. And this kind of thing is really rare. Let’s just assume that I was unluckily struck by lightning while walking on the street. Haha.”

Choi Yu Seong smiled as brightly as possible and comforted the two.

“I’m looking for a Barrier Master that we can hire through Jenny. Because we don’t want the same thing to happen again after this incident.”

Said Jin Yu Ri.

It won’t be easy.

As mentioned, there are only around 10 Barrier Masters even when searching all over the world and they do not reveal their identities externally.

This is because there are so many people who want to secure them as their abilities are quite useful.

Of course, Choi Yu Seong, a complete reader of the original novel, knew one of those Barrier Masters.

And he was already moving to hire him in preparation for a time like this.

‘Yoo Jin Hyuk.’

Jin Yu Ri had no idea that the person she was looking for at the request of Choi Yu Seong was that valuable Barrier Master. Of course, Choi Yu Seong could not say that we were already looking for the Barrier Master.

If it’s like that, he will surpass the level of foresight and become a complete prophet.

It was best for Choi Yu Seong currently to soothe her appropriately because he was not confident in handling that aftermath.

“Don’t rush too much. They’re not easy people to find and they’ll show up when the time comes.”

“…”

Jin Yu Ri smiled instead of answering.

Just saying it, but she wouldn’t back down easily as she was that stubborn.

Therefore, Choi Yu Seong also chose to change the topic of conversation in a different direction rather than persuading more.

“So, can you tell me the situation in detail?”

Choi Yu Seong’s gaze turned to the still gloomy Jin Do Yun.

“A person named Myo from the Martial Guard Corps gave me Young Master to protect. He said that he couldn’t relax because the opponent was the Slaughterer Queen…”

“Then?”

“I ran straight to the hospital to save Young Master.”

Jin Do Yun made a troubled expression.

So it meant that he didn’t know anything about the situation at the time.

Perhaps he was distracted by the thought that Choi Yu Seong was in an emergency.

“Thanks, I survived thanks to you.”

In any case, there may be a problem somewhere in the body if the treatment is delayed.

Fortunately, Choi Yu Seong’s condition seems to have no problem as long as he recovers well.

That alone showed how reasonable Jin Do Yun’s action was.

“I was not there, but I will tell Young Master in summary. First of all, it’s been a half month when Young Master woke up.”

“What…? So, what’s the date today?”

“To be exact it is January 3rd, 2030.”

“Oh my gosh…”

That meant Choi Yu Seong was no longer 20 years old.

He also blew away Christmas, the biggest event at the end of the year, in vain.

In fact, none of these were very important.

‘My goal was to achieve D-Rank before I turned 21!’

When he woke up, he automatically grew older as the new year came.¹

Unlike Levels and Ranks that stagnate if you don’t try on your own, age has an unreasonable summation rule that goes up on its own over time.

“And a lot of Martial Guards were dispatched to the scene beside Myo, who saved Young Master. According to the news, it was such a mess. Several buildings were destroyed and there were quite a few injuries. There are still many people hospitalized in this hospital because of the incident at the time.”

Fortunately, there were no casualties thanks to the quick action of Hunters from the Awakener Association who were stationed at the scene and Martial Guardian Corps dispatched on time.

‘Should it be said as expected of Slaughterer Queen.’

No matter how strong Choi Mi Na was, Rachel was too strong to conclude the fight 1:1.

A situation where problems inevitably occurred after fighting for quite a long time.

The most important things here were two things.

“As a result, Slaughterer Queen ran away. No matter how strong she was, she couldn’t handle three Martial Guards alone.”

“Who was dispatched with Myo?”

“I heard they were In(寅) and Hae(亥).”

“Tiger and pig huh…”

Rachel was missed despite the dispatch of In, who is in the top 5 in terms of force alone among Martial Guard Corps’ Twelve Zodiac, and Hae, who even has a lot of miscellaneous abilities though his force is somewhat lacking , besides Myo.

Likewise, Rachel was first thought of as a monster.

“Although they are still tracking her, it’s said there’s a high possibility that she has already left the country. It’ll probably be hard to move for a while. Thanks to the discovery that the S-Rank Hunter, Slaughterer Queen, belongs to Demon King Worshiper, the World Awakening Association has designated her as a Disturbance grade Villain.”

“Ah…”

With Jin Yu Ri’s explanation, Choi Yu Seong realized that Rachel had not yet been designated as a Villain until just before this point.

This incident transformed her from a dangerous person with some experience as a war mercenary into a Villain at once.

It was originally scheduled to happen, but it can be said that the time has been moved forward somewhat.

‘By the way, Disturbance grade… Is it just below the Catastrophe?’

Among Villains, especially powerful and dangerous beings are graded separately to increase the risk and focus on pursuing them.

And up to this point, the maximum realm that human Villains can reach, rather than the powerful beings from another world like demons, is the Disturbance grade.

Of course, this common sense will soon be broken.

What is important is that Slaughter Queen Rachel has acquired the worst danger for Villains at the moment, which has caused considerable restrictions on her movement.

‘Fortunately, I don’t have to worry about her for a while.’
