(Chapter 62)

"Now, let me properly introduce each other, Jin-Woo.

This is Han Sen he is the person that I was mentioning to you who helped me in that place, and now he is my sworn brother.

And this is Yang Manli, my girlfriend, you might feel weird for why I accepted her because of my circumstances but everything was too fast and it seems that even with her unusual points, she is too dear for my perspective, so, why not? I lay down my problems and she keeps still insisting to be with me."

Shyrveen shrugs and continued.

"Now, sweety, brother Sen, this is Sung Jin-Woo the strongest S-Rank Hunter here, in my home planet."

"Nice to meet you."

Han Sen and Yang Manli reached out their hand to Sun Jin-Woo that accepted it and shook hands with them.

"Nice to meet you too."

After a few minutes of talking to each other casually.

Shyrveen proceed to go down to the business and gestured for Sung Jin-Woo to present the Soul Contracts.

"This is Soul Contract that will bind anyone to their promises or their soul will cease to exist once breached. I presented this to you both to be fair for the others too that will join us. Even both of us took a swore already."

Han Sen and Yang Manli nodded and read the contract that telling them that the knowledge between both universes will be forever hidden and won't be mentioned to the lifeforms of the opposite universe, that isn't under Soul Contract, until their graves.

But something made them realized.

"But what about the materials from the creatures?"

Shyrveen explains that part since they need to make the Hunter's Association create more weapons and armor.

"I already thought of that. And six of us, if the other two outside will agree with this, all of us will only have the right to sell the bones to the Association here under the pretense of monster corpses. But this wouldn't the case for the monster corpse into your universe, and won't be applied to the meats of monsters and creatures for both denizens of universes, and lastly for the Magic Crystals and Magical Cores into your universe too. We don't want to make all the things complicated, right?"

Han Sen ponders for a bit and thought of something.

"... So, you will recruit other Hunters to be with us to hunt creatures in God's Sanctuary? Because if only six of us will do that, that's a real labor, brother Shyr..."

"Yes."

"Wait, darling!... Are you both will create a gang?"

That leads to this question after thinking that all of them will increase in people soon.

"Guild or Gang are just the same, so yes we will."

Shyrveen shrugs and nodded, and was seconded by Sung Jin-Woo that thought.

'It wasn't that bad... Or more to say... It's exciting isn't it?...'

"And as Hyung-nim proposed to me, we will expand the Ahjin Guild to your universe, to that sanctuary."

But Yang Manli lowered her head as she murmurs.

"... But I'm already under the banner of Xuan Xuan's gang..."

Thinking that it's unfair to not included her best friend but knowing that Shyrveen already planned to tell Qin Xuan about the Super.

'More or less, she will be part of us too in the future...'

Sung Jin-Woo misinterpret her dispirited just now and tried to assure her.

"It's fine, sister Manli. Ahjin Guild will consist of people that are armored."

Yang Manli decided not to correct this and realize what Sung Jin-Woo means.

"Oh! So all of us will use your ability darling!?"

"Yes."

Shyrveen nodded which made the two aliens stunned and Han Sen laughed so loud.

"... Hahaha! What's this brothers? Are we going to conquer God's Sanctuaries!?"

Sung Jin-Woo lay down the possibility and thought it wasn't bad.

Compared to this Earth that full of monster invasions.

In God's Sanctuary, humans will be the ones who will invade that place and not just to kill creatures but also to get stronger by consuming their meats.

"If we can. As far as I can remember, the Alliance that Hyung-nim told me was estimated to be explored the first sanctuary up to 10% and worst for the above, right?"

Han Sen and Yang Manli nodded and looked as Shyrveen as he told them.

"Now, both of you will focus on cultivating Mana to be awakened."

"Wait, Hyung-nim. Cultivation? As in those in light novels?"

Sung Jin-Woo was flabbergasted after hearing the 'cultivation' word from Shyrveen's mouth.

'They not only have Genes but cultivation too?... That universe is a bigger one then?...'

But Shyrveen shattered what Sung Jin-Woo's thinking by answering.

"Yes and no. 'Yes' for the same way how the light novels depicting how cultivation works and 'No' for they aren't achieving the 'immortality' or something like that."

"... Ah."

"Well you can try. But for me, it's not possible. I already tried but I can only replenish back my Mana pool to be full if I cultivated the Mana, no, it's more like Mana Drain from Magic Crystals and Magical Cores if I simplified this to video game terms. So, I didn't bother anymore."

Han Sen solved another mystery about why he didn't notice Shyrveen doing the same thing from the start of their arrival here.

"Is it because of your complications, brother Shyr?"

"Yes, I think. We already theorize that the Genes are making our body's potentials to be higher. And that's the reason why you both are gluttons towards Mana from these past few days. But for me... I think that they even robbed this body of its magical potentials and only left the physical potentials. Haa... Even the Genes doesn't work to repair this body back to its original state."

"... So, you can only increase your Magic Powers by collecting this Soul Shards, Hyung-nim?"

Sung Jin-Woo is checking Shyrveen's Status System that hasn't been changed since then and thought.

'... So, the system is really broken... Even with his enormous increase in magical presence and gained Genes. Nothing changed.'

"Yeah, you can say so."

"..."

All of them went silent and each of them have thoughts in each of their minds.

Then Sung Jin-Woo decided to break the silence and ask Shyrveen.

"Hyung-nim... Want me to fix the system?..."

"You can?... But... I think, I'm fine with the broken system. It keeps refreshing my hp and mp to full once it decreased you know?... And it compliments what I need when I'm meddling with Beast Souls."

"... Seriously?... Damn... That's a nasty one 'broken' cheat, Hyung-nim... For your enemies though..."

"Nah, even though it keeps restoring my body to its peak, but the blood loss can't keep up with it sometimes. Unless if I used the health potions though."

Shyrveen shrugs and Han Sen remembered the time while he saw how Shyrveen's body was torn down and slow restoring too at the same time on the shore of Ethereal Loch.

"... Wait! Wait, wait, wait, brother Shyr... So, this system what's made you survived that... That hellish torture!?"

Yang Manli became worried again after hearing Han Sen and rhythmically taps the table with her index finger as she glares at Han Sen.

"What torture!?"

Han Sen rolled his eyes and pointed at Shyrveen, trying to past the malice from her towards him into her lover.

"When I brought him to you unconscious for 15 days."

'Nice!'

Han Sen shouted while punching the air in his mind.

"... Oh... Darling~..."

Yang Manli's face can be seen in between worried and irritated expression from Shyrveen that didn't tell her about it.

"No need to fret over the past things, sweety..."

Shyrveen waved her hand and grabs her hand to reassure her before looking at Sung Jin-Woo.

"By the way, Jin-Woo."

"Yes?"

"Will you agree?"

Shyrveen asked with an incomplete and confusing question as he nudges his head to point at Han Sen and Yang Manli.

Sung Jin-Woo was confused at first but after several glancing at the three people in his front, he got the idea what Shyrveen is trying to say and thought for several seconds while massaging his chin.

"?... Ah... Hmmm... There's no harm in it since there's a Soul Contract now... Invite Yang Manli and Han Sen."

And the game system appeared in front of both aliens' sights that made them jump from their seats and subconsciously raised their guards.

"!!! Woah!"

"What's this!?"

"Chill. Relax. That's one of his abilities. Game System. I have mine but in a broken state... So, what about you two? Just think the 'status' word."

Han Sen and Yang Manli looked at each other, went back to their seats, and thought the magic word.

Then their status in their mind from God's Sanctuary and from the Game System was activated at the same time.

Hearing the voice of God's Sanctuary System and seeing the visual screen of the Game System.

They tried to touch the screen in their sight but only for their hands to phase through it, and read their status a loud alternatively.

Since Shyrveen can't see the other statuses except for his own, this is good for him to hear their recitation about their statuses.

As the main host of the System, Sung Jin-Woo can see the statuses of Han Sen and Yang Manli too, and noticed that they are working properly for them, and thought of something.

He can see that the two of them have more Genes than him in the extra status just below the 'Remaining Points'.

'... Am I really that busy?'

He thought while staring at their three and four hundred unit range on each stats, and glances at Shyrveen that tilted his head for him to see that wordlessly asking him, 'What's wrong?'.

'Now, I'm really curious about what's his stats...'

Then he looked at the two and gestures for them to try something.

"... Try checking Inventory, Store, Skills, etc..."

Two of them tried but only to raise an eyebrow.

"... Only the Skills are available... It even registered my Advance and Hyper Geno Arts... But there's no response for the Inventory and Store when I called for it..."

Yang Manli elaborated on what she can see for the experts to have conclusions about it.

"... I see. Thank you for telling me... Hyung-nim... I think there's still some restriction on the System, maybe the effect of lack of administrator?"

"Nah, you said that the system was from the Monarch's powers?"

"That's what I got from the momentary flashback from the past... So, I'm still not sure how to meddle with this system..."

Sung Jin-Woo's worries about the system is rising again from the bottom after the angel statue was killed, and only for his attention to be stunned after hearing Shyrveen again and saw a miniature solar system on his palm that made of ice.

"... Then can you create something like this with the nature of your power?"

"... That's... I didn't tried yet... How you can do that, Hyung-nim?"

"The shard of Absolute Being taught me wordlessly for 30 years about the basic things down to possible things for how to wield the ice element... I think you can do it too, just use your imaginations."

Sung Jin-Woo facepalm literally after realizing something.

He has an urge to hit his head so hard onto the wall, and bow sincerely to Shyrveen.

"... Thank you, Hyung-nim... Tch... I was fixated that this is really like video game ability. Ugh... What a big idiot I am?... I need to be flexible out of the system's shackles too..."

"It's fine. It's good to hear that it helps you."

Shyrveen shrugs and acts to chuckle after seeing that kind of expression from Sung Jin-Woo.

After a couple of minutes, he continued.

"Let's call the two, shall we?"

The three nodded and Shyrveen recalls the ice that blocking the door again and gestured for the two to come inside after making sure that they locked the door of the main entrance.

"Hyung! Noona!"

"Unnie, Oppa."

The two Yoos greeted respectfully and saw Sung Jin-Woo gestured for them towards the vacant seats.

"Take a seat..."

Then Sung Jin-Woo pushed the last two Soul Contracts and only asked simply if they are willing to face and risk more dangerous lifeforms to get stronger, they even need to be separated from their loved ones if they accepted for a long time if necessary.

"You can contemplate this thing and tell me what your decisions. This is only a one-time choice and will never be asked later or in the future again. So, think about this carefully."

Then Yoo Soo-Hyun slowly stand up and bow.

"I will, Hyung-nim."

Before going out from the conference suite.

Yoo Jin-Ho followed his cousin with his eyes before going back to the Soul Contract.

He sighed and after ten minutes of thinking.

'I'm sorry, dad... But I'll stick to my decision to pave to my own path...'

Before looking at the four individuals with him then he opens his mouth.

"I will face these dangerous creatures with you Hyungs, Unnie!..."

He stared at Sung Jin-Woo and continues.

"I already have my resolve to follow you Hyung-nim when I offered you to be the Guildmaster of what my dad trying to create... But now that you all have given me a chance to walk with your side..."

Then they saw Yoo Jin-Ho looked at them slowly.

"All of you... I'll be glad to shoulder some of your burdens...

No one knows how these monsters and dungeons will end, and all of you are still seeking more power from another place that more dangerous than this Earth's monsters just to fight against this Earth's calamity bringers.

Compared to those complacent Hunters, you all will shoulder their burdens once they were killed in action... So, let me."

He slowly stands up and bows with tears on his eyes.

"Then welcome to the team, Jin-Ho."

"Thank you... Thank you very much..."

Five people inside of the conference suite talk about the plans while Yoo Soo-Hyun is seeing this from the Guild's entrance.

'... I'm sorry... But I can't... There's still my parents... Even though I'm evaluated as an A-Ranked awakened being... I rarely join raid parties in the dungeon... And it seems that I can only adore you this much, Hyung-nim... I'm sorry...'

She sighed and went inside to decline and decided to be a normal employee of the Guild.

Of course, after knowing this. They didn't push her away and let their relationship stay as they were.

Yoo Soo-Hyun bows and smiled bitterly and went back to her desk.

Then five of them went out as they waved bye to her after one hour of discussing inside the conference suite.

After seeing them out, she looks back to the deserted building and thought for how lonely she is now.

She shook her head and finished her works before closing the Guild.

Five members of Ahjin Guild went to Hunter's Association because Shyrveen already made a heads up to Go Gun-Hee that he will come with more extras.

Go Gun-Hee is waiting for the three people but only to be stunned that they are five now.

He smiled and lead them to the workshop that only workers were left, he made the whole building to be closed for the Hunters for this irregular Hunter, Shyrveen, and his Guildmates.

"So, the left fifty arrows, two short staves, two sickles, two shortswords, three armors that made of your materials were done. You can check and test their qualities in the gymnasium that I already reserved when you called me last night, Hunter Shyr."

"Thank you, Chairman. By the way, since the deal was finished, what about another one?"

"Hahaha! Of course, I'll be glad to have another trade with you all again! But I won't accept any form of money as payment but with the same materials this time... What do you all think?"

"... It's fine. We can do that as well."

Then Shyrveen taps the shoulder of Han Sen before continuing.

"This brother of mine wants to form his own trade with his materials too."

"Nice! Come, let's talk and settle down that contracts first before you can test the products in all of your hearts contents later."

Go Gun-Hee felt elated after knowing that the Ahjin Guild will be willing to exchange their materials again and much more this time, and it's better materials compared to the exoskeleton of the ants from Jeju Island too.

'With the matters that are happening in Japan, the Hunters in the country will be strengthened again against all odd if something happened...'

That's what the Chairman of Hunter's Association thought while being worried restlessly about the things in Japan...
