00297 Butterfly Effect —————————- —————————–=
Ansol’s eyes were quite clear, considering he had just woken up. As I was still looking at her, I felt a strange sense of discomfort in her for a moment. There is no expression on her face and her eyes are deeply sunken. She was just staring at me, and even after wiping her eyes, I couldn’t find her usual shy expression.
At that moment, Ansol’s lips slowly parted.
“Brother. I was so sleepy that I missed what you said. sorry.”
“huh? huh.”
“By the way, can I hear again which city you said you were going to?”
“… The first destination is the eastern general city of Prinica. The second destination is the north, to be exact, Mule, a small city in the northeast. “I plan to settle things at Mule and return to Monica.”
Ansol probably also knows the location of the city. Nevertheless, the reason she bothered to add a detailed location was because her tone of voice and attitude were unusual.
And the moment I heard Ansol’s words, I was able to recall the experiences I had at Barbara’s Warp Gate and the User Academy.
‘Could it have been triggered again?’
Ko Yeon-ju, who knew the situation, had an interesting expression on his face. However, most of the clan members were looking at Ansol with dumbfounded faces. That’s how much her attitude just now gave off a huge sense of disparity compared to the behavior she had shown so far.
Finally, seeing Ansol frowning slightly, I activated my third eye.

(The remaining ability points are 3 points for free and 2 points for magic only, for a total of 5 points.)
‘He who guides the light… .’
Aside from everything else, Ansol’s true name had an unknown significance. She’s been racking her brain around, but she can’t think of anything in particular she wants to do. I could only vaguely guess that it might be related to the later secret class ‘Priest of Radiance’.
“Brother. Please take me with you to this retreat.”
“okay. I get it.”
“I too am following you… . yes?”
“I asked you to take me with you. “You should go together too.”
I spoke assertively. Ansol’s eyes widened and she pursed her lips, as if she thought I wouldn’t allow it.
Although it’s an ability that doesn’t know where luck will lead, it recorded an incredible number of 101 anyway. I have experienced firsthand how powerful 101 can be. Because I know that, and because I was the one who turned Ansol’s luck to 101. To ignore her words was to deny herself.
I simply ignored the looks in their eyes that asked me to take them too. And with the meaning that there would be no more additional people, he opened his mouth in a higher voice than before.
“Then, in addition to Ko Yeon-ju and Kim Han-byeol, we will add Ansol as an additional member. That is all.”
“Clan Lord. Shall we start preparing right away?”
“Let’s do that. We will end the meeting here. Everyone worked hard since morning. Ko Yeon-ju, Kim Han-byeol, An Sol. “Please prepare these three to leave immediately.”
“Yes I will. Hey, and Sol. “You two, please follow me.”
Go Yeon-ju stood up, pointing his finger at the two. Kim Han-byeol quietly stood up, and An Sol stood up from her seat, laughing. Before I knew it, her expression had returned to how it was before.
Thinking that her expression was truly ever-changing, I opened my mouth to Jeong Ha-yeon.
“User Jeong Ha-yeon. It will return within three days at most. Until then, please take good care of the clan.”
“Do not worry. And take care of yourselves, Clan Lord.”
Ha-yeon Jeong answered in a clear voice. And upon hearing that answer, she felt reassured.
After ending the meeting, the clan members immediately began preparations. Perhaps because it was more of an errand rather than an expedition, it did not take much time to prepare. Despite the sudden departure, we were able to complete all departure preparations before noon.
We thought about leaving right away, but Ansol’s stomach was growling, so we decided to leave after having a light breakfast and lunch.
And while eating the tasteless food prepared by my employees, I had to struggle to calm my pounding heart.
I finally go to see my brother. Then he goes to meet his brother’s colleagues. To them, I was a sinner. A single wrong decision resulted in the loss of everyone’s lives, and ironically, I was the only one who survived.
The reason I haven’t met my brother until now was because I didn’t want to interfere with his future steps. But now that I think about it, I feel strongly that it was just an excuse. Could it be that the guilt buried in my heart made me reluctant to meet them, knowingly or unknowingly?
He died because of me. I was the problem.
If it weren’t for me. If I hadn’t done that.
I slowly closed my eyes and remembered ‘that time’.
‘Oh my~. Our Suhyeon~. Did you wait for me? Woojjujju. Hang in there? I’ll save you soon~.’
‘What are you going to do! you stupid! Why did things get to this point… . ‘You’d rather like me!’
‘haha. Don’t worry. I’m in charge here, so run away quickly! hurry!’
‘You idiot. wait a moment. I’ll just stop at the guy in front and beat him up right away. So before that, run away as quickly and as far as possible.’
I already regretted it countless times in the first episode and suffered from guilt. But even though a lot of time has passed since then, the feeling of guilt that tears at his heart does not go away. To forget it so easily, I remember the last words left by the Hamill Clan members who came to rescue me.
Honestly, I still don’t understand. Of course, they may have followed their brother’s orders, but they did not show the slightest resentment as they died. Can a human, or rather a user, really do that? ?
When my thoughts finally reached that point, I put down the spoon.
When I thought about seeing my brother and my colleagues from the first episode again, I couldn’t get the food down my throat.

Shoot! Shoot!
The sky was clear in the morning without a single cloud, but as we were about to leave, it started to rain like crazy. It was a sudden heavy rain with no warning whatsoever. But I didn’t delay my departure time. As the weather continued to be sunny, I didn’t have a waterproof robe, but I could buy one at the store. And since the store was on the way to the warp gate, there was no need to delay.
“Wow. Brother. “Why are they doing that?”
Ansol was feeling uncomfortable with the hood covering his face as he was covering his head, so he slightly lifted the hood and said.
Three people, including me, had currently arrived at Monica’s warp gate. And as Ansol said, users were crowded around the warp gate. And they were all unanimously complaining about using the warp gate.
“Except for those going to eastern cities, please wait a moment! “Starting yesterday, western and northern cities also began restricting traffic!”
“f*ck! Why can’t I go to Pamela? “We have to go quickly!”
“Who cursed? Won’t you shut up? “They unilaterally cut off traffic there, so what are you going to do with us?”
“Ah, ah! The weather is so shit, so why are the bastards from the northwest all of a sudden acting like shit too! “It’s raining. How long can we wait?”
‘The West and North are also blocked? Things are going strangely… .’
I tilted my head for a moment, but there didn’t seem to be any major problems getting to the eastern city. I held Ansol’s hand tightly and began to make our way through the users. And when I got to the warp gate, I saw a female user sweating profusely and explaining the situation. The clan emblem symbolizing Istantel Row was drawn on her bulging chest.
The woman took a deep breath and turned her head towards us.
“Can we go to Mule now?”
“Traffic in the central, western and northern regions is completely restricted now. Since we are keeping it open, you will be able to use it again later by opening it in Mule. “Wait until then.”
“Then what about Prinica?”
“It is possible. Please put the fee here and wait a moment. “I’ll change it for you right now.”
The female user pointed to a container containing gold coins and rushed towards the warp magic camp. She looked really busy running around by herself.
After putting the money for 4 people into the fare box, I glanced at Ansol’s face. Originally, I brought her here with the intention of seeing her reaction, but they said Mule’s passage was impossible, so there was only one option left.
Ansol’s face was peace itself. No, on the contrary, maybe because I was holding his hand, he sometimes showed a silly smile. Just as I was wondering if he had done this because he wanted to come with me, the voice of a woman who had run to the magic camp rang out loud.
“You’re Prinsica, right? “Go in!”
The sound of the rain was a little drowned out, but the voice was so loud that I could clearly hear it. When I turned my head forward, I could suddenly see the warp gate colored in blue.
“Su-hyun? “Aren’t you going in?”
“I have to go in.”
I didn’t go in right away and just watched, and Go Yeon-ju, who had just stepped forward, looked back at me. I began to calmly count the numbers in my head.
‘one two… .’
And at the count of three, I immediately headed towards the warp gate.

One user was running across the land. The speed at which the man ran was truly incredible, as his specialized ability seemed to be agility. Eventually, the man arrived in front of the towering building, pushed open the door, and immediately ran up the stairs.
After passing through the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors, I reached the 4th floor and found myself in a wide passageway with a cold atmosphere. The man looked around with an urgent look on his face and started running straight toward the right side of the passage.
“Gasp!”
The man, who was running without hesitation down the hallway, soon stopped in front of the slightly gaping door. Then he took a deep breath once or twice to catch his breath, then opened the door wide and shouted loudly.
“Kim Yu-hyeon! Kim Yu-hyeon!”
bang!
The door was opened so hard that it closed with a loud noise as soon as the man entered.
And in the room, there were several users. They looked worried as they surrounded the bed, then slowly turned towards the door. Their faces were all distorted, as if they were not pleased with the commotion caused by the man.
However, their expressions changed drastically upon hearing the man’s next words.
“come! I’m here! “The person who can cure Banshee’s curse has arrived!”
“I beg your pardon?”
Kim Yu-hyeon, who showed a cold expression throughout, opened her eyes wide and shouted. The man trudged towards her bed and looked down at the woman lying down. Her condition seemed so critical that it would not be surprising if she died immediately, but she was still breathing weakly. After sighing in relief, he placed his hand on Kim Yu-hyeon’s shoulder, who was still urging him to answer with his eyes wide open.
“They say he came from the South. “There is no elixir, but it can cure the Banshee curse.”
“I don’t have any elixir, but I need treatment…” ? What’s that username?”
“I didn’t hear your name. ah! They say it’s the Mercenary Clan. “That Monica has a clan that’s doing well these days!”
“If it’s the Mercantile Clan… . I’ve heard the name once or twice. “Did you get a call from Istantel Row?”
Everyone in the room shook their heads in response to Kim Yu-hyeon’s question. The man was so frustrated with this situation that he opened his mouth and pounded his chest.
“What does it matter! “First of all, they say it can be cured!”
“That is correct. Where is that user now? Right now… .”
“I didn’t come alone. The clan lord and a few clan members came together. Anyway, I rushed over to tell you this, and Hyerin was guiding me… .”
“excuse me.”
It was then. There was a knock on the door, and it suddenly opened.
Soon, users appeared outside the door wearing robes dripping with rainwater. Even though they were indoors, they had hoods pulled over their heads.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
hello. This is Ro Yujin.
Oh, I’m so sorry. I had a lunch appointment today, so I came home a little late, and just as I was about to start writing, my aunt came to visit. He said he didn’t know how to use the smart phone he bought yesterday (he ended up buying it as a Galaxy 4 LTE-A), so I taught him for almost three hours. Since he is over 50 years old and has been using the 018 feature phone for almost 7 years, I had no choice but to tell you in detail one by one. haha. Still, seeing you satisfied made my heart full. Still, I tried to upload it as quickly as possible, so I hope for the readers’ understanding. _(__)_
『Reripple』
1. Kanesada: Congratulations on first place. haha. I think this is the second time seeing you in the comments. 🙂 Please enjoy this episode as well!
2. Flute: Oh, flute. I have one question. I’m curious what you mean by ‘behind’. I want to know the exact, very detailed meaning! (Kelkel!)
3. Shin Yujin: Oh, sorry. When I was writing and a paragraph continued, I added ‘ㅋㅋㅋㅋ’ in front of it to make it stand out correctly, but I couldn’t delete it because I was in a hurry to upload it. ㅜ.ㅠ
4. Ethersion: Oh my. You are quite sharp. I’ll probably explain that in more detail the next time I see Seraph. 🙂
5. Dark Knight: I just had an idea and tried to parody it. haha. 🙂
6. Eurykenne: Of course, pregnancy is possible. However, there are also methods of birth control using magic or potions. Rather, it is a setting in which contraception is more secure than in modern times. Childbirth is also possible, but most users tend to avoid it. 🙂 Of course, exceptions exist.
7. Note: After finishing this chapter, I am thinking that the title of the next chapter will be The Battle of the West Continent. Please look forward to the next chapter!
8. Trickstar: This is an appropriate analogy that I hadn’t thought of. That’s correct. 🙂
9. Busan Oyabung: Thank you for the coupon! _(__)_ These days, the speed of e-book proofreading is slowly picking up. haha.
10. Jeok Yuha: No. There wasn’t. The future has already become quite distorted. Originally, the Western Continent should have already been established, but as the future changed, the timing was delayed. A lot of things are going to change in the future. The subheading of this chapter, Butterfly Effect, is a subheading that provides a clue to change. 🙂
Thank you for always reading. Your recommendations and comments are of great help.
I hope you can always read my writing with a comfortable mind.
Selection, recommendations, comments, criticism, and questions are always welcome.
