After returning to Earth, I thought a lot.

What should I do next? The moment the system disappeared, I became alone once again. Just like the days when I was still nothing but an F rank hunter with no superpowers, who struggled to earn a living every day somehow.

Of course the me back then and the me right now are different. I am no longer powerless. My current power level was close to SS rank. On top of it, as the master of the worlds best guild, Another League, I stood tall in the hunters industry, and I had a lot of people who trusted and followed me.

However, all of them only existed for one goal.

Reina Ju.

That was the goal I created right after I woke up from the death door and gained a new life. To be more precise, the goal was to enter the Hell Gate and bring her back.

Ive been running as hard as I could for that one goal until now. However, everything went wrong.

Theres absolutely no way around this situation. The road ahead of me was dark and foggy. I couldnt see anything. That said, I will not sit down in despair. After all, my life has always been filled with a series of gloomy darkness.

Like a wanderer wandering blindly through the dark and deep forests, like a shipwreck drifting on the vast open seas, like a climber who has to navigate through mountain ranges covered in pure white snow with no sense of direction. Thats my life. However, in the end, I always managed to find the right path.

It wouldnt be much different this time.

Reina Ju was inside the Hell Gate. Thats for sure, right?

-Eung~ Maybe~

It will be simple. Everything will be okay once we go through Hell Gate.

However, will I be able to get through Hell Gate with my own strength? Of course not. I will be borrowing the power of my friends to overcome the trials inside the Hell Gate.

Postponing the plan any longer is impossible. Right now, Hell Gate is actively absorbing the energy of countless worlds, including Earth. On top of that, I cant increase strength any more.

No, wait. Theres one more way left. It was to be a protagonist.

However, if I become a protagonist, I would receive the fate that will lead my world to destruction. Wouldnt it be meaningless to save Reina if the world collapsed?

The guy who looked like me told me to do what I usually do.

What I usually do Thats hunting the protagonist.

But why did he force the protagonists to be killed? Obviously, there must be a reason. At that time, a sudden thought occurred to me and I lifted my head. Although the client had disappeared, there was still a notification floating in the air.

[You have successfully hunted the protagonist Partellian.]

[Do you want to absorb his talents and skills?]

Yes. What I did was not simply killing a protagonist. After hunting them, it was also my job to absorb the probability and a fraction of their power.

My probability, which was mixed up after absorbing the probabilities of countless worlds and stories, were always on a tightrope. When the probability became excessive, they were forcibly consumed immediately, and when the probability became excessive again, they would have to be used again. The circle always continues.

After all, it is impossible to completely erase the probability that begins to build up in the body. There is also a limit to consuming probability this way.

At the time, I didnt think much of it. It was something I had to be a little more careful about

Just like I couldnt acquire a skill due to excessive probability after hunting protagonist Lee Dong-jun, who was at level 500, I was planning not to acquire a skill after hunting Partellian, who was at level 400.

However, if

If I become the protagonist of Hell Gate, what will happen?

What if Hell Gate is also treated as a dimension? So, what if I could destroy it by becoming its protagonist?

Of course I cant be sure that it will work. Before questioning whether Hell Gate was a normal world or not, there were already a lot of protagonists there.

I guess I just have to find out from now on.

Now that I have decided what to do, its time to move.

Immediately after turning on the smartphone and checking the contact information, I sent a text message to the guild members of Another League.

[Another League Guild Master Return Notice]

And, after thinking for a while, I sent another text message.

[Hell Gate attack schedule notice]

*

After the Anther League Guild became the number one guild in the world through their exploits, the presence of its executives became so famous to the point it outshone the fame of most top star celebrities.

For example, when Yekaterina buys a cheap 5,000 won T-shirt and wears it, it will become a hot fashion item and all the women will follow her fashion.

Just like other members, the netizens always had this one question in their head.

Where and what did the guildmaster do?

He often hid himself by saying that he was going to dispatch. He also did not appear in public for quite a long time and only appeared when something grim happened on Earth.

Each time, netizens speculated by saying, Isnt Yoo Seodam actually dispatched to a different dimension?

There were a lot of negative comments on that topic, and Another League kept silent as if they would not answer those useless questions.

In fact, when he killed Saek-ma, Yoo Seodam announced to the world that he was someone who had affairs related to dimension. He even returned from a completely closed crack, didnt he?

Yoo Seodam was also the one who revealed the power of magic and mugong, which did not exist on Earth. He also took in not only the returnees from other worlds, but also other races from other dimensions.

For that reason, there were a lot of people who believed that he was well-versed in dimensional-related study, and publicly, he has already become a being who could go to other dimensions.

Not only them, even the people who occupied powerful positions in the world also believed so. Unlike netizens, those people always had those possibilities in mind through a fairly accurate source of information.

Therefore, it was only natural for them to move quickly as soon as Yoo Seodam announced his return and declared he was going to attack the Hell Gate.

How will he attack the unknown dimension called Hell Gate?

United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

Shortly after the outbreak of the Great War about 30 years ago, the UNSC, which was greatly reorganized because of the arrival of superpowers, added war on monsters in its regulations along with preventing international acts such as wars between nations, aggression, and terrorism.

Most of the cases were handled by the The International Supernatural Phenomenon Association and the International Association of Superhumans, but when an event large enough to shake the worlds peace occurs, they will eventually move.

It was not a coincidence that UNSC grew interested in Another Leagues movements, or rather, it was only a natural choice-of-action.

The UNSC had approached Seol Jungyeon several times to receive the protection of the most powerful martial artist, no, human on the planet. And in the process, they discovered that Seol Jungyeon had shown considerable obsession towards Yoo Seodam.

No matter how many rumors about Yoo Seodams dimensional shift circulated on the internet, even though it was said to be an almost definitive fact, an international group like the UNSC could not move only based on a mere rumor.

However, the Murim Lord told them, He knows more than all of us, and even Lacanthal, the leader of the otherworlders, who was now working as a Hell Gate researcher, said, I dont know much about it. I think it will be better if you guys ask Yoo Seodam about it. In other words, the two most powerful people on the Earth had told them, Go and ask him. He should know better than us.

At this point, there is surely something about him.

It was a conclusion they drew when Lacanthal, who was unparalleled in terms of dimensional-related science, and Seol Jungyeon, who had reached a level higher than any other superhuman on Earth, both strongly recommended Yoo Soodam to them.

-So, you want us to just leave the job to one hunter?

United Nations Headquarters in Manhattan, New York.

Originally, the meeting hall of the UN headquarters was a place where the original 6 chairperson could be found. However, this place was currently reserved for only one person, the UN Secretary-General.

-Huh, how did the UN become like this?

-From the beginning, 15 years ago, when we invited hunters to the UN, it was definitely wrong!

-Che. What would the people of the world think of us? Its not funny.

Numerous negative voices were heard from the hologram floating in the air, but UN Secretary-General Allen still looked at them indifferently.

Hes been to Hell Gate, and even has a broader knowledge of dimensions than any other scientist on Earth. Cant we just trust him?

-Thats absurd! It would surely be fine if we just took his advice for use, but to leave all the decisions to him is not!

United Nations Security Council (UNSC).

In fact, their opinion of treating the UN as a puppet may be justified from a certain point of view.

As it is a parliament that protects the international community, it is undeniable that the image is important. But more important than that, was whether or not peace could be maintained in the end.

Cancel it and kick him out. There must be another way!

Another way

Allen shook his head. He didnt expect them to agree in the first place, but he didnt expect it to be this bad.

The guys in front of him were old men who believed it was because of their presence that the system of psychics was properly established, and thanks to this, they were able to win the war against monsters.

Therefore, no matter what he says, it would be of no use. Theres only one way to convince those old men, who believe they were contributing more to world peace than the hunters, who were rolling on the battlefield, risking their own lives.

Then, please have a meeting with Yoo Seodam directly and have a conversation with him.

He should have never met them, but Allen had no choice but to have that person talk face-to-face with them.

You want us to talk directly with him?

Yes. I already invited that person to this event. He said he had a way to make sure of his success in attacking the Hell Gate.

-What?

-Youre lying. You and that Hunter

You will find out the truth of my words soon.

In the hologram, the board looked at each other and reluctantly agreed.

Please, I hope you persuade them. Allen hoped so and called for Yoo Seodam, and the back door of the spacious conference hall opened and the man leisurely walked in.

The appearance of wearing an ether suit instead of a working suit was not very suitable for this place, but it represented his identity more than any other attire.

Wow, the UN.

Yoo Seodam, who was looking around the conference hall with curious eyes because he did not expect to ever come to the UN headquarters in his life, stood in front of the hologram of the board of directors.

Then, he said,

Its me. Lets all cooperate.

Khuk!

-Wha-wha

At that brazen attitude, Allen coughed. It was such a funny moment which would surely enter Allens top 3 moments of his life.
