[Tangled] Invited to the Gods’ Group Chat Room 1-133 (Ongoing)
Episode 1 – Invitation to the chatroom of the gods
A remote village located in Yihuang, Jiangxi Province.
-Master Cheongun. Are you inside···?
Suddenly I heard a voice calling me.
“Who is it?”
When I opened the door, there was a little boy of about five years old.
“Isn’t it Byuksami?”
Wallflower.
He was a child who lived in our village and whom I taught martial arts at the missionary center.
“There’s still half an hour left until training time, but you’re early.”
“Ah, yes···.”
“It’s early, but come inside.”
I stepped aside and brought Byuksami inside.
But Byuksami didn’t move an inch.
It was rooted in front of the main gate, watching me closely.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I… that’s it, teacher.”
Byuksami paused for a while.
Looks like he’ll be strong no matter what happens.
Byuksami opened his mouth in a voice that was soon crawling.
“I think I’ll have to take care of the missionary today···.”
I was momentarily dumbfounded by Byuksami’s completely unexpected answer.
“Can I ask why?”
“That, that···.”
Byuksami opened his mouth again, looking at me.
“My mother told me to go to Horonggwan instead of Seonmu-gwan···.”
Horyonggwan (Tiger and Dragon Pass).
This is a new military post that was recently built in the village next door.
I heard that the governor is a distant collateral branch of the Namgung family.
The Namgung family, a prestigious swordsmanship family.
First of all, the name itself is different.
Although they are from a distant collateral line, the Namgung family is one of the most prestigious families in the world.
Even I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.
“···Okay, I understand.”
I forced a smile and spoke to Byuksam.
“Even if you go to Horonggwan, you must not neglect your training. Do you understand? It’s a promise with the teacher.”
“I’m sorry, teacher.”
“What do you have to be sorry about? Don’t worry about it, it’s okay.”
“···Thank you for everything, Master Cheongun.”
Byuksami bowed and suddenly disappeared from my sight.
I quietly watched the back of Byuksami moving away.
A complicated view.
As I turned around, a large signboard hanging on a door caught my eye.
[Seonmu Pass]
A title passed down from my father.
When my father was alive, he was a military officer with quite a reputation.
A large number of unmanned personnel gathered from all over Jiangxi Province.
Because my father was a famous warrior not only in Uihwang and Oksan County, but also throughout the entire Gangseo Province.
But 5 years ago.
After my father passed away and I took over the family line, it suddenly stopped.
Unlike my father, I couldn’t be called a third-rate warrior.
Because I couldn’t handle my internal energy.
Still, thanks to my father, I was able to eat quite a bit of rare elixir when I was young.
Yet, not a single bit of internal energy was accumulated in my body.
Eventually, the missionary became a military officer who taught children self-defense martial arts.
But recently, Horonggwan was built in the next town.
Even the few kids that were there started quitting one by one.
“There’s no one here now.”
Everyone just left the missionary office after finishing the wall painting.
It was bitter. It was also disheartening.
That doesn’t mean I blamed the kids.
Even if I were you, I would probably go to Horonggwan instead of Seonmu-gwan.
However, it was just vague.
“What should I eat to live from now on···.”
I’m twenty-one years old.
It’s an age that’s beyond the weak crown.
But at this age, there was nothing I could do.
All I learned was martial arts, so I only knew how to fight.
But I’m not good at fighting, so this is what I look like.
All I have is youth, but my body is not very young.
Suddenly, the words my father had said over and over again came to mind.
-Un-ah, you must become a person who enriches the world.
My father was generous and had a strong sense of justice.
He was the type of person who would feel thorns growing in his mouth when he saw injustice.
A warrior who follows righteousness and justice.
However, he did not blindly pursue only righteousness and justice.
Even if it was against righteousness and justice, if it followed chivalry, my father would act boldly.
He helped others in need before helping his own.
Even when he was in a life-or-death crisis, he did not use his abilities.
Rather, he felt ashamed to boast about his achievements.
A knight.
No one would be more suited to these words than my father.
That’s why he died young.
It is said that a person with broad shoulders cannot have a long life.
I liked having a father like that.
Even though my father left me at a young age, I never resented him.
I respected him so much, and that’s why I wanted to become a warrior like my father.
···Yes, deep down I wanted to be like my father.
So, even though I knew it wouldn’t work, I didn’t let go of this missionary.
But the wall of reality was high.
It was also ruthless.
I am a worthless and insignificant man who cannot build up any internal energy.
He is nothing more than a common man.
It’s something I’ve been trying to ignore for a while.
And now, it’s time to admit it.
“······.”
I can’t be like my father.
I have neither the martial arts talent nor the ability like my father.
A knight without strength is nothing more than a guest and incompetent.
[Seonmu Pass]
“Now let’s take it off.”
And now, let go.
I faced the reality that I had been trying to ignore.
So I took off the missionary’s nameplate.
No, it was at that very moment when I was trying to take off the nameplate.
Foodduck!
Suddenly, a bird flew into the missionary office.
Sharp eyes and sharp claws.
“···It’s not that bad?”
A hawk was sitting on the porch of the missionary office, nodding its head.
I suddenly wondered what was going on with the hawk, but upon closer inspection, I saw that there was something tied to the hawk’s leg.
“A letter?”
Looking at it, it seemed to be a Jeon Seo-eung (a type of calligraphy hawk).
“Are you using Jeonseoung these days?”
Carrier pigeons, commonly known as pigeons, are commonly used.
Pigeons are easy to tame, and above all, they have a homing instinct, making it easy to send and receive letters.
On the other hand, the falcon was not like that.
First of all, they are ferocious beasts like tigers and bears.
Taming it was extremely difficult.
Huh?
A hawk that was nodding its head found me.
He came to me with both feet, bouncing off the floor.
And then it started pecking at my leg with its beak.
He seemed to be urging me to hurry and take the letter.
“Hey, you’re smart, huh?”
He was as intelligent as most people.
I untied the letter tied to the eagle’s leg.
“It’s not just the temple?”
Looking closely, I saw that there was more than just a temple.
A scroll-shaped scroll was also tied together.
It was quite large in size and quite heavy.
I was surprised that it flew in with this hanging.
Knock knock.
The hawk pecked at my leg again.
The look in his eyes that suddenly turned to me seemed to be telling me to hurry up and read the letter.
“···Is it a spirit?”
I opened the letter and looked at its contents.

“······??”
As I was reading the letter, my mind was struck by the fable.
