Chapter 312 - Satellite World (1)

Chapter 312 - Satellite World (1)

In the suburbs of Seoul was an E-rank Gate very popular among low-level Players, bustling with Goblins that even an adult man could hunt as long as they had a weapon. However, that was mostly in the past; the rank of the Gate had been adjusted to S after the appearance of demonic beasts known as variant monsters.

The appearance of variant monsters was a problem in and of itself, but the bigger problem was that each of these demonic beasts were so strong that World Rankers needed to get involved. Even Sword Dragon Kim Si-Hun, the strongest Player in humanity and assumed to be far above World Rankers, had to be mobilized once.

“Hyung-nim! Over here!” Si-Hun shouted to Oh Kang-Woo, who had brought his subordinates.

Kang-Woo, after hearing him, followed Si-Hun’s voice. No, he did not even have to follow his voice to know where to go.

‘It’s been three years.’

Faint nostalgia hit him; the memories of feeling despair when he saw the message windows and Goblins in front of him, frantically running toward where he had heard Han Seol-Ah’s scream, and shedding tears from the beauty of a woman he had met after ten millennia and asking her to marry him...

All sorts of memories flashed through his mind.

“Kang-Woo, this place is...” Seol-Ah whispered, having remembered where this place was.

Kang-Woo softly nodded. “Yeah. This is where we first met.”

“Ah.” Seol-Ah’s face reddened, and she smiled. “Hehe. Back then, I’d never thought we would end up together like this.”

“Really?” he smirked. “Come to think of it, what did you think of me on our first meeting? You know, your first impression of me.”

“Mm...”

Seol-Ah fell into thought while lightly placing her right index finger on her lips. She was looking back on her first meeting with Kang-Woo.

“At first, I thought you were a weirdo.”

“...”

“But back then... You tore off your clothes and treated my wound, didn’t you?”

“Oh, yeah. I did.”

Kang-Woo recalled doing that when he had seen that Seol-Ah’s leg was injured.

“It was from that moment,” Seol-Ah remarked.

“What?”

A smile bloomed on Seol-Ah. “From that moment... I fell in love with you.”

“Darling...!”

Kang-Woo’s cheekbones ascended. His face burned hot from thinking of himself back then.

‘Screw three kids.’

They needed at least five.

‘After all, both Seol-Ah and I’ll be living far too long.’

He couldn’t stop smiling while thinking of his rosy future ahead.

Cha Yeon-Joo, who had joined them after meeting at the Gate entrance, stared daggers at them. She frowned and spat on the ground.

“Fuck.”

All couples should die by being skewered with bamboo spears and burned alive.

“... It’s certainly a color we’ve never seen before,” Kang-Woo stated.

“Yes. I’ve never seen a purple Rift before,” Si-Hun replied.

A purple Rift was in the air where Kang-Woo had first come to Earth and met Goblins. He carefully approached the Rift, picked up a rock near it and threw it in. The rock disappeared into the Rift as if it had been sucked inside.

“Mm.”

“Nothing... happened,” Si-Hun mumbled while staring at the purple Rift. He then said while looking down at his watch, “We don’t have much time left, hyung-nim.”

They had found the Rift right away, but they only had three hours for this operation. They had to close the Rift as soon as possible to minimize otherworldly influence on Earth.

“Let’s go inside right n—”

“Wait,” Kang-Woo grabbed Si-Hun’s shoulder as he was approaching the Rift impatiently. He turned his head to say, “All of you, stay back.”

After getting everyone to step away from the purple Rift, he carefully approached it.

‘It’s no different from regular Rifts just from its outer appearance.’

‘Seol-Ah is fine too.’

Kang-Woo had crammed the Authority of Protection plus other Authorities into the ring that he had given Seol-Ah. He was easily able to check that her life was not in danger even from far away.

“... I guess I have to find them myself.”

Aside from that, he needed to destroy the Rift Core, the key objective of this operation. Realizing that he did not have a lot of time, he soared into the air using the Authority of the Sky.

“Kang-Woo...?”

Just then, Kang-Woo saw Seol-Ah among the rocks scattered about. She quickly approached him with a smile as soon as she saw him.

“So this is where you were!” she exclaimed.

“Darling?”

“Phew. I was so scared after being separated from you.”

Seol-Ah approached Kang-Woo and embraced his arm. A soft sensation enveloped his arm.

Kang-Woo’s expression hardened for an instant, but he quickly regained his composure.

“Have you found anyone else?” asked Seol-Ah.

“No, not yet.”

“Ah...” Seol-Ah sighed in disappointment.

“What about you?”

“I haven’t seen anyone else either.”

“How long has it been since you woke up?”

“I just woke up as well. Behind that rock over there. I happened to see you as I was looking around in confusion,” she remarked as she pointed at a rock behind her.

“Hm.”

Kang-Woo nodded. He raised his head and looked around the area in detail one more time. He checked the distance between the rock that Seol-Ah had pointed at and where they were right now.

“... I see,” he mumbled while nodding as if he was thinking about something very deeply.

“Um, Kang-Woo.”

Seol-Ah embraced his arm even tighter and called him with a trembling voice. She twisted around as if she needed to pee and leaned on him while panting heatedly.

“I was... so scared because I was separated from you,” Seol-Ah said seductively. She reached into his clothes. “How about we do it for a bit... before we go find the others?”

“N-Now? Right here?” Kang-Woo asked, his face dyed with bewilderment.

Seol-Ah nodded. She then answered restlessly, “Yes. I... can’t hold it any longer.”

Kang-Woo gulped. He looked around, and then grabbed her shoulders.

“In that case...”

Their lips grew closer.

“Kang-Woo...”

Seol-Ah closed her eyes. She pushed her breasts on Kang-Woo and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Slip.

Seol-Ah’s shadow moved like a living organism along the ground. It traveled up Kang-Woo’s body and slowly reached for his head. A sharp blade came out of the shadow and aimed for the back of his head.

“But, you know...” Kang-Woo suddenly opened his mouth while tilting his head for a kiss.

“Yes? What is it, Kang-Woo?” asked Seol-Ah, flustered.

The corners of his mouth curled up as he stared at her.

“You should’ve done a better job.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“They’re not that small.”

“What do you m—”

Crack.

“Kurgh!”

Kang-Woo’s hands that had been on Seol-Ah ‘s shoulders suddenly grabbed her neck.

He pulled her away from him and continued, “My darling’s aren’t that small, dammit.”
