Episode 88
* * *
The incident started like this.
“The Wolgye Hongga guild contacted us. They asked me to tell Joe that all conditions have been met and that they would like to receive the promised payment as soon as possible.”
“Well, it’s true that I promised.”
I must keep it. That is the ‘King’s’ promise. Hmm!
A few days of rolling around in bed after meeting Timothy.
It was at a time when I was slowly starting to feel like taking action, as I was being urged to turn to the silver lion.
Honggoya, Honghae, Baek Dohyun.
Wasn’t this a request that Baek Do-hyeon had been building up to before the incident at Seorak Hae-ta?
Of course, I thought we would move together, and I thought Baek Do-hyun would be the same… … .
Life’s painful mistake
━ xx month xx day ━
I think it would be okay to go alone.
When I think about it, I think I may have been lacking in consideration or understanding for Joe.
Lacking
I sometimes think it would be better for me to just get out of your life. Looking back, I feel like I’ve been a burden to you all along, and I feel like I’ve been lacking in many ways.
Of course, every single detail is fact, but why is this regressor suddenly like this?
Did you get caught saving it with a name like that? What are you saying out of the blue?
Life’s painful mistake
━ xx month xx day ━
?
Oh, don’t worry. I just had some time to reflect on myself.
What can I do, I am still lacking in many ways to be with you. I need to work harder to stand next to the person who is at the top of the world.
Top of the world… … .
At the same time, a certain update that had caused a stir in Korea the day before yesterday came to mind.

Life’s painful mistake
━ xx month xx day ━
Because I don’t understand much.
Yeah yeah
Maybe Insta
yes?
Why would I look at SNS, which is nothing but a waste of life?
I have absolutely no interest in social apps that make up stories, exaggerate small encounters into secret meetings, and do all kinds of exaggeration.
Yeah yeah;
This border collie bastard… … is upset.
* * *
Rumors about ‘Joe’ are rampant.
It was only natural that the top ranker, the head of a country and even the world, would adhere to mysticism.
There were countless speculations about gender and age, as well as all sorts of sinister rumors.
That he was cursed, that his appearance was so ugly that it was hard to look at, etc.
There was widespread speculation that there must be a good reason for not showing up in front of people.
As Joe’s activities piled up and he gained not just the level of a national hero but also an explosive and loyal fan base, these opinions died down…
Still, there were those on one side who insisted on the ugliness of the Magic King.
Hong Ha-ya suddenly wanted to ask them something.
‘Where on earth are you looking at…?’
A young girl with short hair.
The look in his eyes was so sharp that it pierced my mind, but that was the extent of my first impression.
Moreover, seeing him in such an everyday and ordinary manner, he felt like an ordinary young man you would see on the street.
“The bus to Ulsan is over there.”
“Huh? Public transportation again? This simple, common-sense simplicity is truly amazing. It’s amazing.”
“… … What can I do if I lack the ability? That’s why I told you to go alone.”
“Hey, look at this. I tried to appease you, but you’re getting angry again. Are you going to keep nagging me? Didn’t you say that my number one butler is Mr. Baek?”
“Someone is a true understander, someone is a white person… … .”
“He’s the only one who does that. I told you I didn’t do anything. King Geo just gave him a passing glance, and he’s already fantasizing about sending his child to an English kindergarten. What do you want me to do? That’s why you shouldn’t even look at country bumpkins. Oh man, I’m so tired.”
“That’s what I told you! I told you to take good care of your eyes… …! I told you over and over again that you have devilish eyes! I told you that if you just look at them for a little while, you’ll fall for them!”
“Okay, okay. Life is tough, really. At least give me those sunglasses. I’ll try making them out of Sim Bongsa material.”
“This won’t do. I have to go too.”
“Mom, Moji? Are you pretending to be a celebrity? Now I see you’re even wearing a mask? Huh?”
“I mean, more and more people are finding out about it. I think this is also a top ten. It’s domestic, so it might not be the same for people who play in the ‘world’.”
“Hey, Oppa Baek, are you going to keep nagging me?”
“… … What did you just say?”
“what?”
“You just said that.”
“What kind of brush? Hey, I should buy something before I get on.”
“Wait a minute, let’s go together, Geo-ssi! … … Hold on!”
Inside the express bus terminal.
They blend in without any sense of awkwardness among the crowd of people talking to each other or doing things.
A young man who is running after her in a hurry and a woman who is laughing at him.
Ranker, Hunter, S-class. Aside from all that, they were all people from the same world who didn’t seem that different.
Geo, sensing presence, turns around.
“Oh, you’re here. Neighborhood resident 1”
“I told you not to call people like that. Come on, hurry up. You must be tired from coming down from the morning.”
“You should be grateful that they gave you a name. Do you know how difficult it is to give a character to an ordinary guy?”
“Haha… … How have you been?”
Hong Ha-ye felt strange.
Watching the two bickering, the Wolgye Valley from a few days ago felt like a dream.
“I guess you have good eyesight. Yeah. I’m ‘Joe’.”
The fear I felt back then was absolutely not a lie.
With her face exactly the same, she seemed like a completely different person.
‘Was it a mistake…?’
Could it be that the name was just a fear without substance?
It’s a famous name that has ruled the world for such a long time, and it’s a ‘powerful’ name in itself. Could it be that it was like that?
For a moment… … I had that thought. Until I arrived at Byeolga in Ulsan.
Caw- caw-.
A flock of crows landed on the roof.
It was the cry of the border.
Hongga, whose family symbol is the three-legged crow and the moon.
Crows were the spirits that protected the Laurel Wreath. They were all raising their flags and crowing at the appearance of one person.
The heavy air, the oppressive pressure.
Hong Ha-ye thought.
‘It couldn’t have been a mistake…’
My feet wouldn’t move.
So the gatekeepers could not stop him from blocking his way.
The gatekeepers in hanbok blocked the way with trembling arms. Their faces were filled with unconcealed fear.
“This is a formality. Please state your name and the purpose of your visit and wait.”
The visitor spoke leisurely.
“It’s a name that cannot be revealed carelessly.”
It just passes by.
Thud, the forbidden rope has been snapped.
Every step he took was a trap. A trap that precisely and precisely ensnared his opponent.
Welcome Jin, Miro Jin, Absorbing Jin, etc.
The barriers reacting to the unauthorized intruders were activated in a chain reaction and destroyed at the same time.
The visitor went straight ahead without hesitation.
I didn’t need anyone to show me the way, and I didn’t need to follow anyone’s footsteps.
Passing through the tall gate, a symbol of authority, and the middle gate of concealment and protection… … .
widely.
“I heard the story.”
Daecheongmaru.
We arrived right in front of where the owner of this old house resided.
“What a tyrant, unparalleled in violence.”
Honggoya put down his glass and stood up.
“Welcome. I thought the horoscope this morning showed a thousand characters in the sky.”
Heavenly position, heavenly majesty.
Since ancient times, the term ‘Cheonwi’ has referred to the one who is the master of this land under heaven.
The king of the Korean peninsula, Gyeonjio, smiled crookedly at the landlord.
* * *
‘warlord.’
Hong Goya was an old man with a very handsome appearance.
(Except for Geo) Baek Do-hyun and the people around him were not small by any means, but among them, he was noticeably the tallest.
and…….
‘… … Playful.’
“Why, doesn’t the tea suit your taste? That can’t be possible.”
“… … .”
“It’s a tea that was very hard to obtain. Even if it doesn’t suit your taste, drink some more because the owner is being generous.”
Hong Goya suggested again with a grumpy expression.
Judging from the way they’re casually swaying next to him, it’s clear that they’re only messing with this car.
‘Is this sugar or tea?’
Geo put it down in a shaky manner.
The tiger’s character assessment is always accurate. The old lady with the annoying aftertaste clicked her tongue.
“Well, it’s not a child’s taste.”
“It’s not a child.”
“Wow, how old are you? By the way, I’m close to eighty.”
“……hmm.”
Geo’s eyebrows, which had been starting to move, temporarily regained stability. It was the result of the Confucian spirit, which existed as little as a fingernail, being torn apart with all its might.
Baek Do-hyun smiled awkwardly.
“Goya, you look a little different than the last time I saw you.”
“Huh. I’ll just treat you the way you’ve been treated. What kind of people are those people?”
“Huh? Then leave the door wide open before people come. Is it even possible to ask them to reveal their names?”
“What else can’t be revealed? Tsk tsk, you’re being so expensive.”
“Oh, sorry, sorry. Grandma, you may not know because the rankings are all over the place, but the top rankers have something like that. Mr. Baek, you know that, right?”
“G, Geo-ssi.”
“What, what did you just say!”
“Hey, you know the word ‘Gwangtal’? You live so poorly, considering you live so close to the gates of the afterlife.”
“Okay… … .”
“Let go, let go! My thing! You damn thing, bring your parents here right now!”
“Fix it, Aunt!”
The unique skill of Jianjiao, the opening of the hellish anti-Confucian beak. The spirit of Confucianism was flying far away to the Hanok.
A guide to proper living for rankers.
