These Lunatics are Obsessed With Me

Beep beep beep beep.

A warning signal rings incessantly in my head. My neck, which was caught by Kang Yoo-hyun, throbbed in pain. If I do something wrong, I might lose my life.

Instantly, memories flashed through my head like flashbacks. I thought it was because Han Yi-jin’s frozen body felt a tremendous amount of fear, but the funny thing was, what crossed my mind was my memory, not Han Yi-jin. It was the memory of Park Ho-soo, who lived like a pushover.

Damn, I feel like shit. I grit my teeth, remembering the faces of my family that I don’t even want to remember.

It was so pathetic of me to be sitting so helpless, living like an idiot even before I became possessed.

The feeling of not wanting to give up rushed in. Do you think I’m gonna fall behind here?

I raised my head to look at Kang-Yoo Hyun’s face, and his thick brows furrowed. At that moment, a dull system voice hit my ears.

[The condition has been met.]

…What? Condition?

A hot heat covered my body with an incomprehensible system voice.

“Ugh…!”

I was familiar with this feeling, because the same heat had covered my entire body by the time the synchronization was complete. I had goosebumps down my spine with a heat all over my body, which was somewhat different from the Illusion ability. I feel really bad even after going through it again.

“Hey, Han… Yi-jin.”

“…?”

I looked at him with his angry voice. Eden, whose arm I was holding, looked at me, biting his lip. He looked just as angry as when he was in the guild.

“Hey, you…”

“…!”

But my mind is not focused. It was because I met Kang Yoo-hyun’s blue eyes again. I shouted while shaking Eden’s arm.

“Use your skill. Hurry up!”

“Huh?”

“Hurry up, you bastard!”

As I shouted, Eden’s dim eyes returned a little. Eden is an A-rank wind manipulator.

And now, with my catnip skills, his stats will be very high. The wind ability is perfect for escaping. Eden swung his hand at my continued insistence.

“Ugh!”

“Hyung!”

Kang Soohyun’s voice calling me disappeared in an instant. Eden’s eyes, which flew up hugging my body, widened. He must have felt the change in his body now.

“Fuck, fly faster, hurry up!”

“O-okay.”

The confused Eden used his ability again. Eden’s arms wrapped around my waist tightly were extremely uncomfortable, but if I fell from this height, it would kill me instantly. I had no choice but to wrap my arms around Eden’s neck, frowning. I could feel his shoulders twitch. I feel really terrible. We flew into the sky in an instant like riding a roller coaster.

***

“…”

Kang Yoo-hyun’s gaze followed the trail of the two people’s disappearance in an instant. His brows twitched with clenched fists.

“…You’re not going after them?”

Seeing Yoo Hyun, Kang Soo-hyun asked unexpectedly. Given the behavior he had displayed so far, he thought it was natural to chase after them. Kang Yoo-hyun, who looked up at the sky with an unpleasant face for a while, answered curtly.

“No need, I know his name.”

Han Yi-jin.

He clearly heard the man with the flashy hair colour call him that. Moreover, it would be easy to find out the information, as he had caught several talented people trying to blackmail him.

“…Hmm.”

Kang Yoo-hyun, who remembered Yijin’s eyes staring straight at him, frowned again. After returning from the gate, no one has ever faced him so boldly. Even talented people felt overwhelmed under the pressure that naturally flowed out when he used his abilities. Above all, his skills didn’t work for him. Kang Yoo-hyun’s hand slowly wiped the corner of one of his eyes.

The twisted time axis in the gate, wandering for 300 years, did not let him live in vain. He defeated numerous monsters and was challenged by the strong.

Where he fell was an empty space called Niflheim. It was a slightly different place from the dungeons that were opened all over the world. Because there’s no dungeon clearing concept there. It’s just a crazy fight, when you are the only survivor left after all the battles.

Kang Yoo-hyun was able to reach the end of the twisted time axis. Yggdrasil, the World Tree, the giant tree that separates heaven and earth. After defeating the giant guarding it and drinking the water from the spring, Kang Yoo-hyun acquired a legendary skill.

The “Eye of the Absolute God.” This legendary-level skill allowed whoever the opponent was to glimpse all information about it. Even if the information is hidden by an item or skill, a legendary level skill cannot be blocked.

But Han-Yi Jin, for the first time, he was an opponent whom the “Eye of Absolute God” could not penetrate. His legendary skill didn’t work. That doesn’t make sense.

“Hey, Kang Yoo-hyun!”

Kang Yoo-hyun, who was standing with a crumpled face, turned his head. Yoon Eun-ho, who was with him before, was out of breath.

“Hey, why… huff, did you leave like that?”

As he approached and snubbed Kang Yoo-hyun, he opened his eyes wide when he saw Kang Soo-hyun standing beside him.

“Huh? Soo-hyun-ah, are you okay?”

Kang Yoohyun’s high school alumni and best friend – he was about to meet Yoo-hyun after gladly accepting the recon mission requested by the Odin Guild.

He was the only SS-class hunter who returned among the first hundred awakened generations. Not many guilds in Korea were willing to accept it.

The Odin Guild lived up to their reputation as the No. 1 Korea, and there are many top ranking hunters in the world.

As skilled in combat as in the dreaded game, the Koreans demonstrated superior skill without daring to venture overseas. Thinking that Yoohyun would do the same, the role of persuading him naturally went back to his friend Eunho.

And he sure can convince Yoo-hyun, even if he didn’t suddenly interrupt him.

The Laufey Guild, the so-called rival of the Odin Guild, was usually accused of all sorts of dirty things. But he did not expect to kidnap and even threaten Yoo Hyun’s younger brother. Of course, it had not been revealed that it was the Laufey Guild, but Eunho was certain. So he was surprised to see Suhyun standing there looking quite unscathed. Because there was no way the guild would let him off so easily if they got hold of him.

“Ah, I’m fine, hyung.”

Kang Soo-hyun looked at Eun-ho with an awkward face. It was because a man with a sweet scent approached him in Eunho’s appearance. At that time, he was almost deceived. He looked exactly the same as Eunho, who was right in front of him.

“Haa, that’s a relief. I was worried if something happened to you. Did Yoohyun arrive on time?”

“Ah, yes….”

For some reason, Soo-hyun’s face clouded slightly as he answered. He doesn’t seem too happy that his hyung has come to save him, but Eun-ho doesn’t notice it at all.

“Hey, Yoon Eunho.”

“Oh?”

Eunho’s head turned at Kang Yoo-hyun’s call. Standing there in a daze, Yoo-hyun’s appearance is somehow odd. He had wandered around the gates for over 300 years. It had only been five years here, but the friend he had reunited with looked very strange.

Trying not to show it on purpose, Eunho had a smile around his mouth. Then Yoo Hyun continued to speak in a blunt tone.

“Find a talented person named Han Yi-jin.”

“What?”

“Where does he come from, what are his abilities, where does he live?”

“What??”

Eun-ho opens his eyes wide at his unexpected words. He asked me to do a background check on a talented person? Of course, finding one person with the Odin Guild’s abilities is not his job…

“No, you’re not even a guild member… I don’t want to find it for you.”

Eunho tried to play hard first. He doesn’t think this is how it should be, but just in case. However, Yoo Hyun answered with a casual face.

“I’ll join. Your guild.”

“Eh?” Eun-ho opens his eyes wide in disbelief.

“R-really?”

It was a wonderful change of heart, even though he had been very disinterested before.

But Eunho didn’t think much about it. He nodded excitedly without noticing Yoo-hyun’s mood, which is calmer than usual.

“Then let’s go sign the contract right away.”

“Yeah, let’s go.”

Yoo-hyun followed Eun-ho’s footsteps, even though he looked clearly annoyed. With a serious expression, he recalled the last remnants of skill he felt. Even the SS class himself had a momentary shocking power that had ensnared him.

What is it? The last one.

He couldn’t think of anything as soon as he smelled the sweet scent that made his head spin. His head became dizzy and he felt a strong urge. He couldn’t imagine what he would do if he didn’t have superhuman mental strength.

Yoohyun knew better than anyone what danger was. How will this extraordinary ability affect the world in the future? However, he couldn’t just sit back and watch the skill user impulsively interfere with him.

The next time we meet…

With this thought, Yoohyun stood still on the spot.

What if I see him again? Then what should I do with him?

A strange impulse instigated him. At the same time, he thought of him who had quite rebellious eyes.

What’s important is that next time I must not let him escape. Yoo Hyun decided to prioritize that first.

“Yoohyun?”

“…I’m coming.”

Yoo-hyun, who had stopped for a while, moved again. While Eunho glanced at him, he also called out Soo-hyun’s name, who was standing there blankly.

“Soohyun-ah, what are you doing?”

“Oh.”

Soo-hyun, who came to his senses, looked at Eun-ho. Eun-ho, confused by the way he’s lost in thought, tilts his head.

“I’m coming too.”

Soo-hyun glances back as he walks towards Eun-ho and Yoo-hyun. There seemed to be a sweet scent still grazing his nose.

I also want to be an Awakener quickly.

Then maybe he would be able to hold on to that person a little longer. Subconsciously thinking, Soo-hyun continued walking.
