When you can’t see, even taking a single step is scary.
If I follow the tactile paving with my cane, illegally parked shared kickboards often trip me.
If there is no audio signal at the crosswalk, I have to shout, “Is anyone there?” and sometimes I can’t cross the road for a long time.
Because the courage to put your body out among the cars driving fast doesn’t come easily.
The one who led me was Hayang.
!!!
The firm and unwavering sense of trust felt when holding the end of the lead line.
I always received help in the dark.
‘I can finally see Hayang properly.’
But someone entered Hayang’s body.
Naturally, my reaction couldn’t be good.
I raised the revolver and aimed the muzzle.
“Who are you.”
The sound of my heart beating filled my whole body.
[Good! Good! Crave me more!]
The power boiled, and I could feel Asadia rejoicing.
‘Ugh’
My head was already distant.
I used too many abilities.
Perhaps because I overdid it while drawing cards.
My eyes were stinging, and a headache was pounding my head as if someone was hammering.
But I had to bear all of this.
[I am the immortal hero blessed by the River Styx. Achilles.]
A voice that seems to speak directly to my head, penetrating deep into my consciousness.
‘Damn it, I can’t see.’
I need to check the information, the status window, but I can’t see it.
The letters of the status window that floated in front of my eyes gradually became blurry, and some even disappeared.
The only information I could barely read through the distant fog was a few pieces.
I couldn’t read what was written on the faint, fragmented letters until the end.
[Race: Labrador Retriever]
[Thought: More, I want to kill more.]
“Get out of Hayang’s body, you bastard!”
[That is impossible.]
“Why?!”
[There is only one way to extract the essence. Kill the host.]
I was momentarily breathless.
“Wh.. what?”
[I know you cherish this beast. Can you kill this beast yourself?]
I can’t decide
But, I couldn’t trust it, nor could I confirm it.
If only I could see the status window, everything would be clearly organized.
‘I can’t check properly because my eyes hurt.’
My fingertips trembled.
I aimed the muzzle, but could I do it?
This finger on the trigger probably won’t pull, no matter what happens.
[I thought so. Anyway, this beast is old and its lifespan is almost over. You already know that, don’t you?]
“……?”
Usually, guide dogs for the visually impaired retire after 7-10 years.
Because their joints weaken, their stamina can’t keep up, and it becomes difficult for them to assist the disabled.
Hayang’s age is 12 years.
An old age for a guide dog.
It’s natural to return to a normal home after retirement.
Because Hayang has devoted his whole life to me.
[But since I, who have received the blessing of the River Styx, have entered, this dog’s lifespan has been extended. It will become a spiritual beast and become healthier.]
“……So, you’re saying that the World Boss just saved Hayang?”
[That’s right. However, I am also inside.]
That disaster-like guy… What if he’s tricking me in a new way to mock humans? Who knows if the World Boss, who was slaughtering hunters just a moment ago, will play a trick?
‘I can’t see.’
My eyes were hot.
It wasn’t the sensation of seeing something, but the pain of my eyes themselves burning.
My eyes should be able to see the answer.
My limitations hold my ankles and don’t let go.
The familiar sight I’ve seen all my life.
Darkness.
Darkness came.
[Apartment]
[Status: Cerebral cortex (occipital lobe) and neural circuits associated with visual information cause depletion of HLsialien a cail neurotransmitters. Peripheral nerve response speed slows down, and autonomic nervous system imbalance causes systemic fatigue.]
[Cause: Nervous system overload due to abnormal sensory use]
[Result: J1182 Apply status ailment ‘Stun’ for sensory block]
[Stun Duration: Approximately 24 hours]
“…Ugh.”
My consciousness became distant.
My head, which had been burning hot, cooled down in an instant.
“Damn it. What is this…….”
I tried to mumble, but the words didn’t come out properly.
My head is heavy as a ton.
Eventually.
I couldn’t support my body and collapsed on the spot.
The sound of the dropped revolver hitting the floor echoed in the darkness.
The coldness of a warrior on the battlefield, the cold determination of a warrior who does not waver even in the face of death,
seemed to have receded slightly at this moment.
Achilles looked down at the girl.
Young.
Small.
Her body is slender like a dry branch, and her hands and feet are tiny.
A handful of life made of bones and flesh.
She looked so fragile that she would break with a single breath.
[This little kid…]
He couldn’t speak for a moment.
He merely recalled her actions, which contrasted with her fragile appearance.
[Pierced through the ashen emotions, and killed me.]
Indiscriminate destruction, hatred, and pain.
The unstoppable emotions that swirled and tightened.
In the midst of blood and tears, and burning ashes, Achilles was alive yet dead.
In the darkness, with even his own essence distorted, he was lost and wandering like a beast.
[Thanks to the great hero who saved me.]
The fainted girl looked endlessly peaceful.
Looking at that figure,
Achilles suddenly remembered his teacher, Chiron.
‘Did my teacher feel like this when he first saw me?’
A small and fragile body.
But within it lies endless potential.
Especially, the eyes.
The eyes the girl possessed were more heterogeneous and deeper than any god’s ability Achilles had seen.
Omniscience is an absolute realm that not even gods have reached.
Not even the heavenly gods can see through everything.
Is this child’s ability reaching that realm?
It was still impossible to judge.
But one thing was clear.
[You might ignore it as insignificant… but the potential is definitely there. It can’t be a mere coincidence that you have such eyes.]
He muttered to himself.
A faint expectation and curiosity were embedded in the hero’s voice.
Achilles made a decision.
To become the teacher of this small and fragile child.
With a warrior’s touch, with legendary footsteps.
To set her on the world.
But, a competitor appeared in just one second.
“I rushed here because I heard a World Boss appeared….”
A design with crossed sword and shield.
The overall pattern is circular.
The seven small stars surrounding the outside glow faintly, symbolizing the mission of hunters to become stars and guides leading humanity.
Below the emblem is the motto of the Korean Hunter Academy.
[In the absence of light, we become the light.]
A professor at the academy, and one of the few officially recognized S-rank hunters in Korea.
The Flame of Roar, Park Hankyeol.
He stopped talking and surveyed the scene before him.
He had also seen it on the way.
Probably, a message that appeared commonly to awakeners around the world.
[KR/World Boss: Immortal Knight has been defeated]
Reaper
Usually, the list of contributors to the World Boss defeat should be filled with the titles of numerous hunters who participated from all over the world.
But only one person was there.
‘Reaper. It’s a profound title. Did they suddenly appear, defeat it, and disappear?’
It’s not like he is Hong Gildong.
Park Hankyeol looked around.
A devastated city center.
Only ruins of buildings and scattered blood remained.
The traces of an intense battle remained intact.
It was unbelievable that only a girl and a dog survived the massacre.
“A dog in a place like this? Oh, I see it’s wearing clothes, is it a guide dog for the visually impaired?”
But it’s strange.
Questions followed.
‘Visually impaired? No, that can’t be.’
This is a place where even A-rank hunters were brutally slaughtered.
A horrific battlefield created by a mixture of large-scale powerful magic and physical impact.
How can a visually impaired person survive in a place like this?
Moreover, a young girl without a single trace of battle?
‘I want to track down where the Reaper went.’
But, if such a being started to hide itself, revealing its identity would be almost impossible.
First, I need to save people.
That’s the duty of a hunter.
“Hey, are you okay?”
The girl did not respond. No, she was in a state where she couldn’t respond.
She wasn’t covered in blood, and there were no external injuries that threatened her life, but she was unconscious.
‘Did she faint?’
However, a faint trace of an awakener was detected in her body.
‘She’s definitely an awakener. But, at this level of energy, she’s just awakened, how did she survive in a place like this?’
Park Hankyeol brought his fingertip close to the girl’s forehead.
He tried to check her condition by lightly sending mana.
Then, the Retriever growled lowly as if trying to block his hand.
“It’s okay. I’m not trying to hurt your owner.”
Park Hankyeol calmed the dog in a low voice.
The white Retriever’s eyes shined strangely at that moment.
Deep. Something is dwelling in them.
‘What is it? This dog is also strange. There doesn’t seem to be anything particularly wrong with its body.’
It’s full of questions, but what can I do?
This girl is the only one left.
Park Hankyeol carefully lifted the girl.
If she sleeps on the ground, she will have bad dreams.
He was planning to take her to the academy first.
It has the latest medical facilities.
Coincidentally, it was the beginning of the new semester.
“Anyway, if she’s an awakener, she has to enter the academy. Maybe. This girl might know about the [Reaper] that appeared here.
And.
If she survived a World Boss, she might be an awakener who obtained a special skill.
‘She survived the scene where the World Boss appeared, so she must be an extraordinary kid.’
Collecting talent is the mission of a professor.
Of course.
Park Hankyeol couldn’t even dream that a 12-year-old girl was the one who defeated the World Boss.
