Chapter 155

Choi Pilyoung was dead, and the Pilyoung in the video was a fake. A fake created by combining Seo Gangrim's 'Thieving Rat' and the 'Clone' ability he stole from Choi Pilyoung.

Before being taken to the Destiny Protection Bureau, Seo Gangrim created a clone. Using 'Thieving Rat,' he borrowed Choi Pilyoung's appearance. While he could only fake his voice at best, he could steal every aspect of him. After uploading the video with Choi Pilyoung's phone, Seo Gangrim disposed of it, making it difficult for the Bureau to trace it.

"I don't know the reason, but it's really fortunate! Master's innocence has been proven!"

Yoon Bom said cheerfully.

Well, Seo Gangrim wasn't exactly innocent.

In the meantime, a notification window appeared before his eyes.

[Hunter 'Seo Gangrim's name is widely known! The gods are beginning to pay attention to you.]

[Hunter 'Seo Gangrim's name is widely known! Humans are beginning to pay attention to you.]

People were still buzzing about his story. Along with the notification of increasing recognition, another notification popped up.

[Divine grace is granted, detecting distortion in destiny.]

[Seo Gangrim's Destiny grade rises to Dragon Third Grade!]

As the deification began, his Destiny grade also rose another step. He was now at the Dragon Grade, a grade that was looked upon with envy and jealousy among the people. Seo Gangrim felt it was oddly surreal to crawl from insect grade to dragon grade.

Thanks to that, the speed of his ability points increase also began to accelerate as well. If he were still at the insect grade, he would have struggled for longer. Now, he could accumulate experience points and raise ability points quickly. He felt somewhat relieved.

The issue was in another aspect. Now, he needed to focus more on building his fame. This was because, with higher recognition, additional features would become available.

[Insufficient fame, unable to use Telephatic Communication System.]

[Insufficient recognition, unable to access the Divine Realm.]

Although his deification stage had started due to his fame, he was still lacking in many ways. Many features were not yet available to him, and he couldn't properly use deification. Still, it was fortunate that his notoriety had spread quickly.

"Brother, are you okay? The treatment doesn't seem to be going well... For now, it's best to go back and rest."

Upon Yohan's words, I nodded my head.

Before leaving, Seo Gangrim glanced back at the Destiny Protection Bureau building. The words of Team Leader Gong Joo in the interrogation room came to his mind.

[Seo Gangrim-ssi, if you have indeed committed a crime... depending on the conditions, I might be able to help you.]

Team Leader Gong Joo had clearly said something like that. Although it seemed to reassure Seo Gangrim at first, it probably wasn't the team leader's intention to make him confess. Even without a confession, using the 'Mouth of Truth' could reveal the truth.

Seo Gangrim wondered what conditions Team Leader Gong Joo had mentioned. The team leader had been eager to recruit Seo Gangrim for a long time, so it might have been related to that. Perhaps he wanted to lessen or bury Seo Gangrim's guilt in exchange for recruiting him.

If that were the case, it was a rather unsettling proposition. To forgive Seo Gangrim's sins in exchange for entering the Bureau. He took a moment to look around the Destiny Protection Bureau building. The towering building looked like a giant tower.

Part 16. Encounter

When someone became famous, fans tended to follow. Even before regressing, Seo Gangrim often heard stories of hunters and awakened individuals boasting countless fans. Even the previous version of Shin Sooah had many followers who admired and adored her. People talked about her strength, beauty, and kindness. She was someone who naturally earned people's favor. Awakened humans wanted to enter the Flying Tiger Sect, and normal humans supported Shin Sooah as fans do with celebrities. The scene of numerous fans gathering in front of the Flying Tiger Sect building, chanting and cheering, was vivid in Seo Gangrim's memory. It was also happening right in front of his eyes right at this moment.

"Hyungnim, are you okay? Having this guy with you... We've seen what he did in the training facility."

Jang Taeheon's distrust of Dokgo Jun was certainly understandable. Considering Dokgo Jun's past actions and misdeeds, it would be strange to befriend him.

Jang Taeheon clenched his fist.

"Dokgo Jun, what nonsense did you spill to hyungnim? You probably deceived our gentle and kind hyungnim to get in here!"

First of all, Seo Gangrim did imprison Dokgo Jun...

Unable to deny it, Jang Tae-heon glared at Dokgo Jun and said, "You're undoubtedly a guy who would betray hyungnim. Someone like you shouldn't be here."

"There's no way I'd betray a protagonist as interesting as Seo Gangrim."

"Keep talking about that damn protagonist... I heard you switched the main character to someone else even in the training facility."

"Wow, that's my dark history. Who told you about that? There won't be such a thing in the future."

Dokgo Jun had the potential to stab Seo Gangrim in the back if Seo Gangrim weakened or if he didn't suit his expectations. Dokgo Jun had actively cooperated with Seo Gangrim so far, but the possibility of him betraying Seo Gangrim was still there.

Looking at Jang Taeheon with a sly smile, Dokgo Jun said, "And I'm here to help Seo Gangrim. At least, I'll be much more helpful to Seo Gangrim than a supporting character like you."

Dokgo Jun was laughing, but a hint of disdain lingered in his eyes—a gaze that clearly looked down on Jang Taeheon. Jang Taeheon also seemed to sense that gaze and spoke with a threatening expression.

"Do you think you're more helpful to hyungnim than I am? A guy who can't beat me is talking too much."

"Hahaha, you?"

"Let's settle this with a match."

So this was the outcome. It wasn't surprising that the two wouldn't get along well since Seo Gangrim hadn't expected them to have a friendly relationship in the first place. Considering their personalities and even compatibility, they were not well-matched.

Dokgo Jun, while grinning, responded to Jang Taeheon's provocation with a slightly contemplative look.

"I don't have time to waste on a supporting character like you... What if I win?"

"I'll follow your orders."

"Not bad. Seo Gangrim, you okay with it? If the two of us fight."

Seo Gangrim nodded in response to his words since trying to stop them would only lead to another fight.

With a low growl, Jang Taeheon, using Dokgo Jun's provocation as a pretext, also left the scene. Perhaps if the two were to fight... There was a high probability that Jang Taeheon would lose. However, this conflict might be beneficial for Jang Taeheon. Given his strong fighting spirit, having a stimulating presence like Dokgo Jun could potentially accelerate his growth. In the process, he might face challenges, but it could be a valuable learning experience.

-Woohoo

Just then, Seo Gangrim's phone started ringing again. He could have turned it off, but he had an appointment with a guest today, so he left it on. Upon checking, it turned out to be a message from her.
