fault.

When I arrived in front of the house due to spatial interference, I encountered an unexpected person.

“Hanseoha?”

“… Lee Woon-woo, why are you here… … .”

I figured out the answer before I could finish speaking. Behind Lee Woon-woo, there was a person wearing colorful clothes standing with the office staff.

“… … .”

I turned my head and saw a scene unfolding in front of my house just before a shamanistic ritual was held. A pig’s head seemed to be mocking me.

“…I’m serious?”

When I asked him again because I was dumbfounded, Lee Woon-woo also turned his head away in embarrassment and coughed loudly.

“Oh, no. That’s the most classic way to kill a ghost.”

“So you’re calling a shaman?”

“I tried contacting the Vatican, but they said it would take some time to send an exorcist.”

I almost hit my forehead.

“Haa. Just send them all back.”

“Ugh. … She’s quite a skilled shaman. She’s someone who’s booked up for two years, but she’s barely able to call someone today.”

“It’s not going to be good, so send it back.”

Lee Yun-woo made a disgruntled face as he whispered something to the staff at the office. It sounded like he was telling them to take the shaman and go back for now.

In this short period of time, they tried to hire a shaman and hold a ritual. I couldn’t tell whether I should be impressed by their execution, moved by their sincerity, or whether I should say it was absurd.

Either way, it’s not ordinary.

“You were the one who said it looked like a ghost.”

“That’s right. But I changed my mind a little.”

“In the meantime?”

“huh.”

I told him the story that Beelzebub had told me. When I heard that this might be the work of the item, Lee Woon-woo’s eyes turned sharp.

“Huh. Indeed… That could be possible.”

“Yes. There aren’t many items on Earth, and items that have been leveled up are even rarer, so they aren’t widely known.”

“Even in the whole world, there are only a handful of S-classes, and most A-classes are managed at the UN or national level, so it makes sense.”

Lee Yun-woo nodded in agreement, then looked at me with a strange look.

“why?”

“No. I just don’t know if it’s lucky or unlucky that even if you buy a house, you’ll get an A-class item with it…”

I think so too. Should I be happy that something more expensive than the house came with it, or should I be sad that I got involved in another strange incident?

I scratched the back of my head and said as I stepped over the gold rope hanging in front of the door.

“Anyway, this is a pseudo-gate. Because the items are exerting influence.”

“It’s been a while. It’s the gate.”

“Are you going in too?”

Although Lee Yun-woo is clearly a skilled magician, it has been quite some time since he went out into the field.

Because the position of headquarters director cannot be left vacant. A person with a lot of responsibility cannot easily die.

In that sense, Lee Yun-woo has always chosen the safe option, and I also thought that was the right decision.

But this time it feels a little different.

“It’s said to be an A-class item, but unless you’re inside the gate, it’s probably only at the level of a hunter with an A-class item.”

Lee Yun-woo made a reasonable judgment. Yes. I thought so too, so I asked lightly.

“Should I show off my skills for the first time in a while?”

Lee Yun-woo chuckled. His playful expression was evident.

Just as I was ticklish, Lee Yun-woo must have been the same.

Even I was able to loosen up by catching villains. Lee Woon-woo couldn’t do that and had to sit in front of his desk without moving.

“It’s been a while since I’ve entered the gate with you.”

I let out a small exclamation of admiration at the new feeling. I think the first time I met this guy, Lee Woon-woo, was when I entered the ant hole.

Even back then, I really thought I was going to die.

“It’s been a long time.”

Lee Yun-woo muttered quietly, as if he was thinking similar thoughts. We were both children back then.

Of course, I was no different from a veteran hunter, but Lee Yun-woo must have really been like that.

‘He’s not even old enough yet, but the current Lee Woon-woo… is very different from the Lee Woon-woo before his regression.’

I, too, have changed from before my regression. If you think about it that way, then everyone else is the same.

To me, who lived like a machine that killed monsters at the gate, Lee Woon-woo was one of the few hunters whose faces I met regularly.

That’s why I was even more moved.

“Do you know where the item is?”

“You’re not in the house. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have noticed.”

“If it’s outside, where would it be?”

“There are some suspicious places.”

I said as I walked to the side of the house. As I passed one side, the door I had seen when I first looked around the house appeared.

“here.”

“… You look so suspicious.”

“I thought so because you said there was a warehouse.”

“Anyone can see that it’s a door leading down to the basement.”

Lee Yun-woo looked at me with a face of bewilderment. The warehouse could be in the basement, why?

Lee Yun-woo nodded his head.

“You didn’t even open this?”

“huh.”

“You really… Next time you’re looking for a house, make sure to bring someone with you. No, come with me. Got it?”

Lee Yun-woo gritted his teeth and spat out through his teeth. Hmm… I wanted to say something in rebuttal, but since I was the only one who signed the contract and this is the result, I had nothing to say.

I quickly changed the subject to another topic.

“Open the door?”

“wait for a sec.”

As Lee Yun-woo raised one hand, a magic circle began to form in the air.

Woohoo-.

The magic circle made a faint vibration sound, then melted and was absorbed into me.

“oh.”

I tested its performance by waving my hands and feet. A faint halo of light followed me with every movement.

“Simple defensive magic, speed, and immunity to abnormal status.”

“Triple nesting?”

“I don’t need to say anything so grandiose. It’s not even an attack magic.”

Lee Yun-woo had an indifferent expression, but even if it was just auxiliary magic, triple stacking was a huge deal!

I realized anew how great of a magician Lee Yun-woo was. Yes, he was the guy who drew the magic circle that filled the sky… .

“What are you doing? Why don’t you go in quickly?”

“okay.”

At his urging, I stood in front of the door leading to the basement.

I grabbed the handle and turned it, and it made a clicking sound as if something had caught on it.

“It’s not opening?”

“It looks like I need a key or something.”

“It’s a key… Can I just use unlock magic?”

“wait for a sec.”

I pulled the rattling doorknob a little harder. It felt like it could open without magic if I did it right.

I turned the doorknob a couple more times to check the condition, then made up my mind and gave it a firm twist.

Woozikkun!

“…uh.”

I looked down at the doorknob hanging from my hand and took a moment to think about my words. I didn’t mean to do this… . I was sure that if I just applied a little force, it would open. Of course, if you only look at the results, it’s not wrong.

I ended up smiling faintly, still holding the doorknob.

“The door is a bit weak.”

“… … .”

“Security shouldn’t be this lax.”

As I was spouting off random words, Lee Woon-woo gave me a cold stare. Then, as if he had a lot to say but decided not to, he let out a short sigh and continued talking.

“Okay. Let’s go inside.”

“uh.”

As I opened the door, which was left empty because the doorknob had fallen off, I saw a staircase leading down.

But something was strange.

There was an intricate pattern engraved on the walls on both sides of the stairs.

“This….”

“Is this the language of Toluk?”

“I think so.”

I feel like I’ve seen it a few times. Although I still have no idea what it says.

I took out my phone and took pictures of the engraved pattern.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m going to send it to an expert.”

If it’s Baek Mok-ryeon and Park No-ah, they can interpret this too. Even if they can’t, they’ll be good sources of research.

After taking a few pictures and sending them to Baek Mok-ryeon, I put my phone back in my pocket.

“Okay. Let’s go in.”

I stepped towards the stairs first, wondering what kind of A-class item might be sleeping below.

***

Tiring.

Baek Mok-ryeon searched through her coat pocket at the sudden notification on her phone. There was a message, and the sender’s name was very familiar.

“Stop the experiment for a moment. Just a moment.”

Baek Magnolia stopped the experiment she was doing and went out of the laboratory. Then she quickly unlocked it and checked the message that had arrived.

“Can you translate this for me?”

The attached file was quite large with simple content. Magnolia tapped on the first photo that appeared.

The picture that filled the screen clearly had a pattern engraved on it that was clearly Toluk’s. The content was naturally translated into Korean in Baek Mok-ryeon’s mind.

“Sir, is there a problem?”

Park No-ah followed behind and asked. Baek Mok-ryeon muttered with a stiff face.

“… Looks like you’ve done something wrong again.”

“yes?”

“Look at this. It’s a photo sent by Hunter Han Seo-ha.”

Baek Mok-ryeon showed the screen of her cell phone to Park No-ah. Park No-ah’s face also gradually hardened.

“Can you interpret this?”

“yes.”

Park No-ah answered without taking her eyes off her phone screen.

“… “Those who set foot here will encounter a forgotten world.” What does that mean?”

I didn’t say that the beginning of the regression was the gate.
