F-Class Destiny Hunter

Chapter 146:

Chapter 146

Although Dokgo Jun claimed to act for himself, he had too many impulsive actions. Hence, Seo Gangrim prepared a room in advance to prevent such incidents and monitor him.

Dokgo Jun said in confusion, "Working itself is not bad, but I need my laptop. Can't I just go to my studio for a while?"

"I'll bring it soon, don't worry."

Although Dokgo Jun could destroy this place with force, he was currently bound by a contract. In matters related to the novel, he had no choice but to obey Seo Gangrim's words.

Seo Gangrim said with a cold face, "From now on, this is your studio. Start your work now, Dokgo Jun."

***

-Hey, did you read the novel Dokgo Jun uploaded today?

Seo Gangrim quietly observed the community's reactions. It had been noisy for a few weeks, but the community was still in a turbulent state.

As Dokgo Jun started writing a novel about him, people began to take an interest in him. And at the same time, they started to be curious about his private life.

-His whole family died in the novel, right?

-I'm a relative of Seo Gangrim, and it was fascinating, just like in the novel. His house was a mess too.

-Is what happened in the novel true? I don't know.

Seo Gangrim shared some details of his childhood with Dokgo Jun. He took inspiration from it and started writing. When detailed information about Seo Gangrim appeared in the novel, people began comparing fiction with reality and started making noise.

-Is this really like a true story? Seo Gangrim used to work part-time at a fortune-telling cafe, right?

-Even the trainees confirmed that everything that happened inside was real.

-What is Seo Gangrim really up to?

-Apart from that, Dokgo Jun's novel is really interesting.

-He used to be a regular at the joints. Does he just eat and write after eating?

Trapped in the underground studio, Dokgo Jun continued to write. They talked about Dokgo Jun's novel and, at the same time, gossiped about Seo Gangrim. The community was flooded with his name.

Seo Gangrim was quietly watching as people chattered noisily. Everyone was doing what they were supposed to do. After observing the situation for a while, Seo Gangrim decided it was time to move on to the second step. Meanwhile, another person's name caught my eye.

-Shin Sooah, how many demon realms have you cleared now?

In the community, there were quite a few discussions not only about Seo Gangrim but also about Shin Sooah. She was defeating several high-level dungeons while carrying out the mission of King Hoje. Also, with Shin Sooah appearing in Dokgo Jun's new work, it seemed like people were even more interested in her.

-Are Shin Sooah and Seo Gangrim really dating?

-No, right? She's dating me.

-Meanwhile, Shin Sooah and Seo Gangrim not saying anything bothers me more.

Shin Sooah's popularity was also rapidly rising. While Seo Gangrim continued to monitor the community, he heard a light doorbell sound.

-Ding Dong

Upon checking, Kang Dohyeon was standing in front of the building. When Seo Gangrim opened the door, Kang Dohyeon roamed around holding a lunchbox and said, "It's a better house than I thought. Everyone left the house, right?"

"Yeah."

Seo Gangrim was the only one left in the building now. Shin Sooah had left for her mission, and the rest of the members had left to obtain items they learned when they were in the Divine realm.

After putting the lunchbox in the fridge, Kang Dohyeon said, "I packed plenty of side dishes, so everyone can share."

"Thanks."

"I brought tonkatsu that you like. Fry it later."

It was something I liked ten years ago, and he still remembered. I should share some with Dokgo Jun later. Glancing at him, Kang Dohyeon seemed a bit tired for some reason.

"Hyung, are you okay? You look tired. Is the Special Team having a hard time?"

"A bit. It's a bit chaotic finding the Clown Troupe."

Kang Dohyeon narrated the current atmosphere inside the bureau. It seemed that with the destruction of the Seocheon Flower Garden and the disruption in item supply, the atmosphere within the bureau had become tense.

They said they even created a special team to track down the Clown Troupe. Kang Dohyeon also entered there to gather information. Although the special team's tasks seemed quite demanding, there didn't seem to be significant results for such efforts.

"I joined the special team, but there wasn't much to harvest. Those Clown Troupe guys are good at hiding their tracks."

Even in the previous life, the Clown Troupe didn't disappear and remained as adversaries of the Destiny Protection Bureau. It seemed there was not much difference in this life either.

Kang Dohyeon sighed briefly and said, "The Director predicted the Clown Troupe's attack once, so I thought we could easily find their whereabouts."

If the Director was truly an all-knowing manshin, he should have quickly located the Clown Troupe. However, that didn't happen. Either the Director's foresight ability was weaker than expected, or there was more to the Clown Troupe than meets the eye.

After handing Kang Dohyeon a cup of green tea, Seo Gangrim took a seat.

"What about other aspects? The clown I met at the Seocheon Flower Garden. You said he was a potential agent, right?"

Before the Awakening Day, the Destiny Protection Bureau used to approach people with potential and suggest that they become agents. Most accepted the offer, but some refused. The clown from the Seocheon Flower Garden was one of those who declined.

"Yeah. And I found a few more suspicious details."

Kang Dohyeon took out documents from his bag and handed them over. Seo Gangrim quickly checked the documents, and a single word caught his eye.

"Currently wanted as an awakened criminal?"

The name of the clown he met in the Seocheon Flower Garden was Cheon Yeoul. After refusing to become an agent, he awakened, killed his mentor, and was currently on the run.

Kang Dohyeon nodded and said, "The Clown Troupe is made up of awakened criminals, so it's not unusual, but..."

"But something feels off."

One of the Clown Troupe members was an agent, and another was a prospective agent. Was this truly a coincidence?

Also, the part mentioned by the clown from the Seocheon Flower Garden caught Seo Gangrim's attention.

"They said they would weaken the power of the gods."

"Just hearing it makes them seem like some kind of revolutionary army."

Looking back on memories from his past life, Seo Gangrim felt it was far from that. In his previous life, they committed many heinous crimes. Many innocent people died. Therefore, people trembled at the mention of the Clown Troupe.

Currently, various incidents, both major and minor, were occurring after the attack on the Great Demon realm. It was difficult to be sure of the Clown Troupe's purpose. One of them needed to be captured to extract information.

As Seo Gangrim pondered on ways to track the Clown Troupe while exploring memories from his past life, a strange notification sound echoed.

-Ding!

An alert window appeared in front of Kang Dohyeon as well. With a slightly surprised expression, he said, "The third Great Demon Realm has opened."

The third grand Great Demon Realm had opened a bit earlier than in the previous life.

There was an item that Seo Gangrim must obtain in this demon realm, but all members of the Flying Tiger Sect were currently indisposed.

Seo Gangrim first contacted his fellow sect members.

[A Great Demon Realm has opened. Can everyone come back?]

Originally, the plan was to gather the Flying Tiger Sect's members and conquer the Great Demon Realm. However, everyone was currently scattered. No one replied.

Unfortunately for all involved, once he entered the dungeon, communication devices became useless, so the chances of receiving a response were low.

Seo Gangrim wondered if there was anyone in the mortal world, but no one had replied. Kang Dohyeon looked at him and asked, "Why is that?" "I planned to conquer the third Great Demon Realm together with them, but no one is responding."

"What if you wait until everyone returns?"

"That would be too late."

This one was time-based demon realm, and it endlessly repeated until the completion conditions were met.

Since it took a considerable amount of time to conquer in his past life, waiting for the members wouldn't be a significant issue. However, the rewards obtained there were crucial to Seo Gangrim. He needed to get them as quickly as possible.

Given the difficulty level there, Seo Gangrim could probably clear it alone, so it was better to move than wait.

Seo Gangrim stood up and said, "I'll go to the Great Demon Realm for now. I've confined Dokgo Jun in the basement, so get some food for him. He seemed to like army dumplings."

"What? What on earth...!"

Leaving a perplexed Kang Dohyeon behind, Seo Gangrim headed to the garage.

In the garage, a red vehicle was parked. It was the Aldebaran he received as a reward from the Twelve Races for his injury.

As soon as he started the engine and left the parking lot, someone blocked his way.

"Seo Gangrim, the Hunter, has appeared!"

In front of him, several people with cameras had gathered. They seemed to be reporters. Flashes were going off noisily from all directions.

"Hunter Seo Gangrim, are you heading to the Great Demon Realm now?"

"Hunter Seo Gangrim, can you say a word about Dokgo Jun's novel?"

Seo Gangrim had known that reporters had been chasing him for a while now. There seemed to be more reporters than usual. It was a good thing for him.

"How much of that novel is true?"

"What's the relationship between you and Shin Sooah? Are you really lovers as readers speculate?"

Absurd questions were flooding from all directions.

Instead of answering those questions, Seo Gangrim quickly summoned his spirit beasts.

[Summoning 'Linnie' from the spirit realm!]

"Woong?"

Linnie, now summoned, looked around, bewildered. Outside, flashes were continuously going off.

Seo Gangrim quickly gave instructions.

"Linnie, lift the car with magnetic horns."

"Woong!"

[Ability 'Magnetic Horn' activated!]

When the magnetic horns activated, the car's body instantly floated in the air. Simultaneously, a powerful engine sound resonated.

As he turned the steering wheel towards the reporters, they started to step back in surprise.

"What, what is this! The car is floating!"

"Everyone, move aside! It's going to crush us!"

"Is that crazy guy trying to run us over?!"

Like a swarm of ants, they scattered in all directions.

By now, articles on the internet might claim that he attempted to kill reporters. He was curious to see how many articles would be published, but for now, he had to head to the Great Demon Realm.

He pointed to a nearby road. "Just take me to the nearby area."

"W-woong...!"

Struggling due to the weight, Linnie moved the car to the nearby road. When Seo Gangrim saw the empty road, he immediately stepped on the accelerator.

-Vroooom!

Ignoring speed limits, he recklessly drove the car. Aldebaran rushed down the road like a raging bull.

Thanks to the merciless acceleration, the entrance to the Great Demon Realm soon came into view. Seo Gangrim arrived much faster than anticipated.

He parked the car and headed towards the entrance. At that moment, a voice came from behind.

"Hunter Seo Gangrim, you're fast, aren't you?"
