Out of the dungeon
"Yo-han!"
After dealing with the last enemy. Min Ari did not hesitate, she quickly went to where Kim Yo-han was. She saw him lying on the ground with his eyes closed.
"Thank god, he is okay."
She crouched down and placed her finger on his neck. Min Ari let out a sigh of relief when she found out he was only unconscious.
Min Ari placed her hand on his face, caressing it softly.
"Sorry, Yo-han." She whispered gently.
Min Ari felt an indescribable guilt or she just doesn't know what she is feeling. But her heart hurt when she saw him getting hurt.
Kim Yo-han read her thoughts and felt slightly complicated. These emotions she exudes are not something he could reciprocate. He admits, that Min Ari is a beauty and has the urge to take her in his arms.
But he did not let his thoughts win over him. It's the god's powers that are influencing her, and Kim Yo-han is not someone who will abuse his skills.
...
"These guys are zombies?"
"They look ugly and they don't have eyes. Creepy!"
"What are they doing here? Why are they attacking us? No, why is it only attacking us?"
The last question appears in everyone's mind. All the assailants are attacking all the Ares clan members but never the C-rank recruits.
The recruits were huddling in the middle trying to protect themselves. But not a single assailant made their way to them. Which made no sense to them.
However, those who were smart felt dread. Choi Kang-dae might be full of muscles but he is not Guildmaster of one of the prominent Guilf in South Korea for no reason.
Stomping on the last assailant's head. Choi Kang-dae's eyes were fierce and calm. 'These things objective is the kids. Who would do such a thing?'
Everything went well, all the assailants were subdued.
"Listen up, the test will be concluded today. Those who did not pass, you better take the test next time! Right now, our priority is to go back! Rest for now!" Choi Kang-dae's loud voice resounded around the camp.
"Guildmaster Choi, do you know where hideous things came from?" Li Jinghyun approached Choi Kang-dae and asked grumbly.
"I don't know... But all I know is we are involved in something deeper."
"Hmm? Why don't we ask that bastard, Kim Yo-han, aren't these his comrades?" Li Jinghyun grinned.
"Li Jinghyun, don't take me for a fool... I don't want to hear it any longer." Choi Kang-dae is not stupid, he knows what is right or wrong. However, if someone crosses the line. He won't turn a blind eye.
"...T-That." Li Jinghyun was dumbfounded. He groaned and nodded his head. "I apologize Guildmaster, I let my thoughts go over my head. It will not happen again."
The aura, Choi Kang-dae was emitting was overbearing and suffocating. Li Jinghyun who took all the brunt felt dread. He crossed the line this time. He was being hasty. Gritting his teeth, his hatred for Kim Yo-han became even more stronger.
...
Min Ari took Kim Yo-han inside a tent to lay him on the bed for him to rest. She stared at his face for a very long time.
When the medics saw her staring intently at Kim Yo-han they did not utter a word and silently did their job, then got out of the tent without saying anything.
Once they got out they whispered.
"Is Captain Min fell that hard?"
"What did it look like? She was looking at him with those tender eyes. Ah, what a lovely romance."
"Shhh, don't make a loud sound."
...
Kim Yo-han opened his eyes. He saw a white ceiling. He looked around and smiled wryly.
He was now inside a hospital room. He was out of the dungeon.
After the fight was over, Kim Yo-han knew everything that happened after that. After everyone who was not unconscious rested up, the Ares Guild did not linger around any longer.
With 3 S-ranks and a bunch of A-ranks, the boss room was cleared in a matter of time while the recruits were carrying unconscious patients, like Kim Yo-han.
Even after they got out of the dungeon, Min Ari stayed by his side for half a day. Making it even more awkward for Kim Yo-han.
He waited for Min Ari to walk away. Not long after, Min Ari walked out of the door. But, he still did not open his eyes, he could still sense her behind the door.
'Ari...' Kim Yo-han thought.
He then remembers the girl who had taken his heart. 'Chae-rin... What should I do?'
...
"Where should I go? Home?" Kim Yo-han got out of the hospital.
Now that he is out of the dungeon, Kim Yo-han has to be careful using his godly senses. The constellation is always watching the whole world. They are trying to find worthy people to become their apostles or something.
"No, I'll go home."
...
*Ding* *Dong*
In a residential area in Seoul. There are many apartment buildings. This is the place where Kim Yo-han and Kim Hayan lived. Their house five ye- no six years ago was destroyed by the monster break.
In compensation, the government provides them free apartments for the survivors. Plus the insurance... They have enough money to live for many years.
'If that bastard did not force my sister. It would be better if he did... I will fucking kill him without burial!'
"Yes! Who is it?" Hearing the voice, Kim Yo-han's anger disappeared. The burden that he has been thinking has been lifted.
The door opened. A girl slightly older than Kim Yo-han opened the door. It was the face he couldn't forget. It may be just a year has passed here, but for Kim Yo-han watching the memories of Lucas for 75000 years is different.
"You-" The girl's face was a look of surprise and shock. Tears slowly gather in her eyes. Covering her lips with her hands.
"I'm home, sister!" Kim Yo-han pulls her into his embrace.
"Yo-han?... I-It's you right?... This is not a dream right?... I'm not hallucinating right?" Kim Hayan's emotions swelled up. The thing that was hidden deep in her heart. The emotion that she tried so hard to hide has escaped.
"You're not, sister. I'm here... I'm alive."
"Yo-han, Yo-han... Why did you only come now? Did you know how I feel?... No, Thank you for coming back."
Kim Hayan's tears were like a river, uncontrollable. She hugged him so tightly, she didn't want to let go. She's afraid that this is just an Illusion.
"Let's go in for now."
"Okay. I have so many questions."
"I know."
Kim Yo-han rubs her messy wet face from her tears. Kim Hayan did not let him go. Kim Yo-han felt his heart ache. If he wasn't able to go back, he would leave this last family member of his alone in this world.
It made him furious.
Now that he has power. He found a way to use the newfound power. To help those who need help, he does not want anyone who has the same situation as him to have the same experience.
Kim Hayan and Kim Yo-han sat on the sofa. The TV was on, and the news was airing. When Kim Yo-han saw the news, he frowned.
[Today's news, Multiple test groups have been attacked by an unknown group of assailants. There is no information about this group. The only thing we've found about this group of assailants is they are using corpses... Please be careful everyone.]
"That's cruel... Is that a zombie? S-rank?" Kim Hayan covered her mouth in shock again but this time, it was sympathy.
"Sister, what happened after I'm away?"
"...Nothing." Kim Hayan clenched her fist. She looks like she has something to hide.
"It's Han Joo-woon right? Did that bastard force you?" It was easy for Kim Yo-han to read her thoughts.
"H-How did you know?"
"That guy is the one who kil- betrayed me. No Aria betrayed me. Han Joo-woon thinks of me as a burden to their guild." Kim Yo-han's face darkened. That Han Joo-woon will pay the price.
"What!? T-They did that!?" Kim Hayan stood up. She felt anger, to think they hid such a thing from her. "Why? Why they did do that? You are their friends... I trusted them."
Tears fell from her eyes again."They fooled me..."
"..." Kim Yo-han embraced her again. This would take a while.
...
"WHAT!? Why did you not stop him? Where is he?" Min Ari who went out for a while to take care of something went back to the Hospital. When she found out, that Kim Yo-han disappeared, she was enraged.
The nurse and doctor look troubled when they feel the aura, Min Ari letting out.
"Min Ari, calm down. You're scaring them." Choi Kang-dae decided to accompany Min Ari after taking care of the press. He also has questions he wants to ask.
"Kang-dae-nim." Min Ari calmed down.
"You have his contact right?"
"Yeah."
"Call him."
