Chapter 23: Mystic Land (part 2)
I focused again on the screen, watching the people go back to Jaesh, the 2 of them would talk to each other and sometimes laugh, it was heartwarming.
'But why does my heartache when I look at these 2?'
I pondered to myself before looking back into the screen.
***
They decided to find a settlement but they bumped into Shinku, Shinku noticed their situation and offered them free lodging and shelter inside the adventurers guild.
"Well, don't be late for dinner you two!"
"Thank you, guild master."
"Yeah, thanks."
After reaching their room, Yoon Yong-Il flopped down onto the bed and massaged my arms and legs as the muscles ached, this was her first time fighting against such a creature and she was sure it won't be the last.
"Are you okay Unnie?"
"I'm fine, it's just that I'm not used to fighting that's all. How about you Myeong-Suk-ah?"
As Yoon Yong-Il said that, the girl then fiddled with her hair checking it, it became even more white than before, now half of her hair is black and white, Cho Myeong-Suk gave an adorable and reassuring smile.
"I'm fine, other than my hair becoming white."
Yoon Yong-Il thinks that when she casts spells it'll continue to become white but other than that there are no other side effects.
"I'll rest for a while, you should go and have dinner."
Cho Myeong-Suk nodded and went out of the room. After she left I immediately dozed off as the fatigue in my body and mind took over.

[The skill 'Quick Planning' lvl 3 has deactivated]
Yoon Yong-Il dreamed She dreamed she was floating in infinite darkness, there was no floor to stand on and no stars to give light in this empty world, but there was only a door, which she opened without hesitation.
"Where am I?"
[The skill 'Foresight' lvl 1 has activated]
Ever so slightly the scene changed, I could see Cho Myeong-Suk on my side puking on the sand, and in front of me was a slaughter, human carcasses scattered all over the place fresh as it would seem. Amidst all of that corpses is a humanoid creature wearing dark armor.
[The skill 'Foresight' lvl 1 has deactivated]
[A
She opened her eyes and gasped out for air, and she immediately went to a bathroom and puked into the toilet. After that Yoon Yong-Il washed her face and looked into the mirror.
[The skill 'Calm Mind' lvl 4 has activated]
'I feel a lot better now thanks to the skill, but it should've activated earlier dammit'
"Fuck!! What kind of future is that?!"
A black knight capable of massacring all of those people.
"Hnngghh, Unnie what's the matter?"
Yoon Yong-Il turned back to see Cho Myeong-Suk rubbing her sleepy eyes and was dressed in pajamas.
"Nothing, it was just a nightmare I had."
"Come here then."
Cho Myeong-Suk gestured Yoon Yong-Il to bend down a little, she bent down, and then Cho Myeong-Suk gave her headpats.
"It's okay, they're just nightmares, illusions of what you're afraid of."
Damn, for a kid she sure knows her vocabulary, although that won't make anyone feel better.
"Thanks, I'm fine now you should go ahead and sleep."
"*yawn* good night, Unnie."
"Good night Myeong-Suk-ah."
Cho Myeong-Suk went back to her bed and slept, Yoon Yong-Il tried to go to bed but I can't sleep. she instead went out of the room and explore the guild a little bit, it was fairly large and it looks like it was new as there were no clouds of dust that could be seen anywhere.
"Ah, Yong-Il-san~!"
Yoon Yong-Il was greeted by a tackle from behind knocking her over together with the person.
"H-hello, there Shinku-ssi."
"Hehe, what seems to be the problem Yong-Il-san?"
'Was I that easy to read?' Yoon Yong-Il thought while standing back up and helping Shinku as well.
"So tell me what's wrong?"
Shinku was so enthusiastic today, after I got up I told her about the dream that I had.
"Well, I do have a
"You do?!"
"Yup, well it's a pretty recent
Shinku's eyes shook in a realization of something, then asked her.
"Say, is this your second time?"
"What do you mean?"
Shinku looked into the latter's eyes before shrugging it off, with a simple meh.
"Never mind, anyways here the
Shinku left and I was all alone, I went outside the guildhall through the back and checked the contents of the

The woman simply sighed and looked up the starry night, her hair was gently caressed by the wind and the delicate features were shown, if any man were to see her there at that time they would be down on their knees praising her beauty.
"What does Shinku-ssi mean that this is my second time? and what's up with this
There are already many dead
"I wish I can change the future that I saw."
A screen appeared before her.
[Are you sure, Yes/No]
She looked at it and then looked around her surroundings, there's no one there.
Yoon Yong-Il took a deep breath and pressed yes.
"Huh, it probably didn't work."
She felt something dripping down my nose and eyes it was somewhat wet, then a sudden headache assaulted her together with her body feeling that it'll get ripped to shreds.
"!!!!!!"
Yoon Yong-Il tried screaming but she can't. simply because she became mute, her body continued to rip itself to shreds, it was horribly painful one only hope that they immediately die from the pain.
"I'll help you because
She couldn't see nor hear, the only she feels is the pain. Someone placed their hand on her chest, but what she felt was like getting stabbed in the chest multiple times over.
Then all pain stopped...
[The skill 'Foresight' lvl 1 has activated]
She was floating in endless darkness, nothing to see, hear, smell, nor feel. Then the darkness shook violently.
"Unnie! Wake up!!!"
She opened her eyes and saw Cho Myeong-Suk, jumping on top of me.
"Hey-"
My voice came back, Yoon Yong-Il then checked her body and no scars could be found.
Cho Myeong-Suk went off of her and said enthusiastically.
"Breakfast!"
"Yes, yes, but after breakfast, we'll be going on an
"Okay! I'll handle anything that'll go in our way!"
Cho Myeong-Suk sprinted down to eat breakfast, Yoon Yong-Il simply followed her and what she saw was a shocker.
"Wow, since when did this place become famous?"
There are more than 80 people here now and they're all koreans like her. she could see Shinku working really hard, She simply waved at her and she immediately gave us some food.
"Sorry! You gotta stand up while eating cause, as you can see There's no table left vacant."
"No worries, we'll just eat outside."
Shinku gave them a basket of food, and Yoon Yong-Il moved while holding the hand of Cho Myeong-Suk so that she won't get lost, while she quietly observed the people in here.
There were a lot of strong people here, she also saw a man surrounded by a bunch of women and there are men standing guard on his sides as well.
"Let's get out of here Unnie."
"Okay, let's find somewhere else to eat at."
Yoon Yong-Il quickly averted her gaze from him but he noticed her already. Yoon Yong-Il began walking faster together with Cho Myeong-Suk.
"Miss! Come over here the boss wants to talk with you!"
[The skill 'Intuition' lvl 5 has activated]
[The skill 'Intuition' tells you to just keep walking]
She kept walking and opened the door.
"Hey! Like what he said the boss wants to talk with you."
Behind the door, a man standing at probably 7 feet, was blocking my way and his build is like a sturdy brick wall.
This was the development that I always see in web novels and mangas. But I didn't think it will be
"Unnie, I'm scared."
When Cho Myeong-Suk said that Yoon Yong-Il received a headache as unwanted memories rushed in. she shot a glare at him and said in a cold tone while holding the [Abysmal Fang].
[A
[The skill 'Deathly Presence' lvl 1 has activated]
"Move you cock sucking swine."
The man who stood like a brick wall seemingly unbreakable broke down.
"Uhhh, uhh, uhh?"
She simply tapped him and he fell over and Yoon Yong-Il grabbed the hand of Cho Myeong-Suk and ran away.
"Unnie..."
As they were walking Yoon Yong-Il felt anxious as she thought 'She's scared of me now is she, Cho Myeong-Suk will probably leave me.'
"Unnie, that was awesome!"
[The skill 'Deathly Presence' lvl 1 has deactivated]
She was confused, really confused. Yoon Yong-Il just smiled as they head to the farther part of the town and sat down on a bench.
"Now shall we eat?"
"Yes!"
Fortunately, Shinku gave them food, as she opened the basket and it's filled with sandwiches there some canteens filled with water too.
"Thanks for the food!"
"Thank you!"
As they took their first bite, Yoon Yong-Il almost fainted the flavors were bursting even though it's a simple egg sandwich.
She felt something weird though, Yoon Yong-Il looked at the sandwich and focused on her senses even further, and she could sense some mana in it. After eating the 2 of them stood up and informed Cho Myeong-Suk about the
"Ah, so we'll be hunting down a bad guy!"
"Yes, but we need to find him first."
they went out of the kingdom, to find and change the future which she saw.
***
I was shocked and felt betrayed while watching these things unfold before my eyes.
'Shinku?! what the hell is she doing there?!'
[The skill 'Calm Mind' lvl 17 has activated]
The skill helped but only for a little, I took a deep breath and then reviewed what I saw and started mumbling to myself.
"First Shinku is a
"Second Yoon Yong-Il can also see the future, and what bothers me is that onee-chan said to Yoon Yong-Il is if it's her second time."
[The skill 'Hyper Decision Making' lvl 17 has activated]
My thinking became faster thanks to the 2 skills information is quickly being processed...
In the end, I couldn't think of any solution, I deactivated my skills and started snooping around the house. I passed by a door that had Barachiel's name engraved on the door.
I passed by a door again this time I decided to open it, it a library filled with books to the brim, but everything was dusty I grabbed a book and blew off the dust.
"Hmm? a cultivation method? even those overpowered bastards are here, wait this title seems familiar."
It is read on the manual "Heavenly King's Martial Arts" wait isn't this Midori's skill does that mean that she's a cultivator.
[Rai, I'm back!]
"Ah, welcome back Barachiel!"
I stood up and hid the manual in my sweater while heading down.
