Chapter 10

*     *     *     *

A black world.

Nothing existed here in the beginning.

It was a serene and tranquil world.

However, this place suddenly began to swell. Soon afterwards, a sharp line cut across the darkness, and it looked as if it was trying to rip apart to the left and right.

Jju uk.

Eventually, a black space was opened.

A world with a spider-web like hideous scar.

This was a rift.

A nasty mess of chaos pervaded inside of it.

However, for some reason, the awareness of the current world’s conscience was slowly getting closer to this rift. As it did, it suddenly flew towards the rift and stuck its head inside. At that moment, everything became topsy-turvy.

Not knowing which way was up, down, left, or right, the conscience slowly began to break apart within this eternal chaos.

However, right before that happened, something began to form within that chaos.

It was extremely massive, and had 3 pairs of eyes that were blood red. It was an overwhelming existence that couldn’t be compared, and even chaos was silent before it.

That thing was slowly getting closer.

It was aiming for the entrance to the rift.

It wasn’t too far away now. Soon, the grand doors to the rift were going to open, and the massive existence that could swallow all of chaos would arrive. However, this was just the prelude to the beginning.

Bun jjuk.

Haneul’s eyes opened.

The dream that he just had was very weird and unpleasant.

He felt nauseous, and his body had cold sweat all over.

‘What kind of dream was that?’

Haneul tried his best to recall his dream, but he couldn’t recall it in the least. He just knew that it was unpleasant and it gave him an apprehensive feeling.

Not knowing if it was because of his nightmare, Haneul’s fatigue did not go away.

Suddenly, everything that had occurred the night before was running through his mind – as if it just happened moments ago.

The fight at the Hospital.

He’s fought several times before.

However, he’s never had such an exhausting fight.

Without thinking, Haneul looked at his fist.

It still felt like his fist was stained with blood, but he wasn’t so weak to fall apart like the night before.

Haneul walked into the bathroom and began washing his body with cold water. The heat that wrapped around Haneul’s body moments before, was now disappearing.

The unpleasant feeling from before was also disappearing.

‘Now that I think about it, did I not get heavily injured last night?’

The fight that started from the Hospital, till the fight with the Dominator’s host body.

Haneul did not feel any pain, but he had been in intense battles all throughout the night, yet his body was completely fine. It was quite a peculiar feeling. However, it showed that a Hero’s recovery ability was outstanding.

“I guess I got better within a day.”

Although, Haneul’s head was feeling heavy and sleepy, his stomach was very precise in telling him that he was hungry.

Looking at his smartphone, he had practically slept through 1 whole day.

‘Why do I have so many text messages?’

Haneul’s head tilted in confusion as he began to read the texts.

The texts were from the Organization.

The first text was a formal greeting, thanking him for his active part at the Hospital. The next text was regarding a bonus that was transferred over to his bank account. And, the last text was informing him that it was forbidden to give the media any info regarding the night before.

‘The Organization isn’t planning on revealing everything that had happened yesterday to the media. Does that mean that my judgment, regarding the operation that had happened within the Hospital, was correct?’

In Haneul’s mind, reacting in a quick manner led to the least amount of damage. Not only that, but he became the core for yesterday’s independent actions.

However, if this was to be released by the media, it would be difficult to avoid arousing controversy regarding the Organization’s judgment. They would be questioned regarding human rights issues, ethics, and morality. More than anything, the Dominator had appeared without any rifts. It was best to release things to the world carefully when unexpected things happen.

This is why the Organization released the info that they could, and covered up the things that they needed to cover up.

It wasn’t an independent decision made by Director Park, but was a decision made by someone higher than him.
