Chapter 79 – 079 the Butterfly Effect (1)
*
“Where do you think it went wrong?”
“That is..”
A man wearing a large red robe sat on a large chair and murmured.
“Everything has to go as it should, and that’s an unchanging truth.”
There were also people standing around wearing similar robes, but all of them were hidden from view because of the large robes.
“But, something happened. Yes, I think the Stark Bank job was the beginning.”
The man sitting in the middle muttered, rubbing his fingertips against each other. His speeding up and then slowing down seemed to reflect the man’s nervous state.
“So what do you want to say?”
A woman muttered to the man in a slightly cheeky voice. She yelled as the man across from the woman burst into a rage.
“How dare you speak!”
“It’s actually true! Everything was wrong up until now! That crazy old man and the grim reaper are running around!!”
On the day of the terror attack at Stark Bank, everything started to go wrong when Kim Si-woo brought Yoon Seo-ah.
As their identity was known through Lee Ji-ah, who followed Yoon Seo-ah, the branches in each region were being attacked every day.
I tried to find out the inside story of the case, but the death guild decided to conceal information about the case and found nothing.
Who was there and how the incident proceeded were all covered up by the Guild of the Dead.
Even though such a major terrorist incident occurred, it was not even shown on TV news.
“I know how many of my subordinates have died to that crazy old man!!! You said it would never be known, but what happened to this!!!”
“Stop it!! Where is this crazy bitch going to scream!!!”
“So you’re saying I said something wrong? I don’t even know what happened! Did I really know everything? Tell me!!!”
“Shut up!! You crazy bitch!!!”
“That. Only. Do it. La.”
A man standing next to a large chair murmured.
He didn’t speak very loudly, but it was clear enough for everyone to hear.
As the cold and heavy voice resounded, the angry woman and man closed their mouths.
It was to the point where I felt as if my throat had been blown off simply by living. The ghastly glow in the eyes beneath the robe was brutal.
“Why don’t you all calm down?”
The man who was sitting in the middle chair stood up.
“Fate is called fate because it works as it is arranged.”
“And if the story is different, it means someone intervened.”
A hologram appeared in the air at the man’s hand gesture, and a man’s face was visible.
A man wearing a black mask who carried out a terror attack at Stark Bank. The man’s name is Lucas.
He was a man who had a chance to escape from humans thanks to Magi’s blessing.
“No matter how immature and lacking in handling power, Lucas was not a man to die here.”
The man’s plan was perfect.
The purpose was to divert attention through the bank incident and bring the treasure to the Hunter Association.
While all eyes were on Lucas, he succeeded in stealing the treasure, and Lucas also had to rupture the bank and escape.
“But he died. Someone twisted fate!”
At the man’s gesture, Choi Tae-soo and the god of death wearing a black robe and flying through the sky appeared.
“Kill Lucas!! Bring in Choi Tae-soo and the Shinigami who originally wouldn’t have intervened now! A human who interferes with us… And changes our destiny has appeared!!!!!”
Everyone shut their mouths at the sound of madness. The man smiled, bobbing his head left and right, not paying attention to the gazes around him.
As if responding to the man’s emotions, Magi filled the air everywhere.
There was no one who showed a great reaction to the demonic energy that was fatal to humans.
Regardless of Margie, only the woman who didn’t like the man’s bizarre laugh shrank.
“Isn’t it funny? Destiny really changed, even though someone else intervened.”
“…”
“Master, it doesn’t seem like a positive direction for us.”
“I agree with that. As she said, the hidden branch is being raided every day.
“These guys dare…”
In the narrow Republic of Korea, there were not many places to avoid the eyes of the dead guild.
Even though he was in normal camouflage, he was attacked every time he knew how he had come, and his prestige was weakening day by day.
It was not a positive thing for them at all.
“Yes. It is. It is.”
Although he was being unilaterally attacked by the Hunter Association, the man seemed too relaxed.
“At least that means I’ve confirmed the possibility.”
Lucas’ death meant a lot to him.
It meant that the fate that should have flowed according to the plan had changed.
Fate has changed So, that meant confirming the possibility.
“I don’t know whose way is right. But we see the possibility! The possibility to change destiny!!!”
“That doesn’t matter. I just don’t want to die.”
“…”
“That’s right. That’s right. It’s a pity that everything is fixed from the moment someone is born to the day they die.”
They live a life that flows according to the script, according to the fate set by an unknown being.
Can that really be called a meaningful life?
If you live knowing the date of your death, would you accept it?
“Isn’t it really sad that an unknown being has no choice but to live as he decided?”
“…”
“With Lucas’s death, we’ve confirmed that we can change our destiny!! We don’t have to live the destiny that god damn god has set for us!!!”
Each person here has a different story, but they all have one thing in common.
Those who could not return to a normal life, those who were now unable to live in harmony with humans.
It was impossible to live among humans with a body that had already been stained by demonic energy.
“But Lucas died in the end. He died sooner!”
“…”
All they wanted was one. To survive.
However, Lucas, who wanted to survive, eventually died. Doesn’t he mean that he couldn’t escape the yoke of fate after all?
“That’s right. That’s right. So we’ll have to revise our plans, too.”
“Correction?”
“The one who killed Lucas. That’s why we need to get rid of the human who twisted fate.”
“But you don’t even know who it is!”
“Yes, Master. Even if you try to find out the information related to it, there is no way to find out since it is controlled by the Death Guild.”
“Korean Academy.”
The man standing in the center murmured.
“Why are you there all of a sudden?”
“It’s where the greatest power of destiny flows. Maybe it’s there, right?”
“Isn’t that just speculation?”
“It’s kind of an experiment. It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t appear, and if it does, it’s to be sure to get rid of it.”
Daehan Academy, the place where the greatest power of fate flows, was one of the places they wanted to destroy.
Twisting fate through destruction was their way and their goal.
“Didn’t you say you needed more preparation there?”
“Since the last gate experiment, the boundary has risen further.”
“No. No.”
The man shook his head. It was such a violent movement that the hood fluttered.
“It’s already gone wrong. If things go as they are, there’s a good chance everything will fail.”
The hologram image turned into a map of the Daehan Academy.
“The risk of failure is too great.”
“Master, why don’t you think about it again?”
“This time we move first.”

While listening to Minah’s class, I felt a chill for no reason. She heard something unpleasant, but I don’t know why.
“Hey, what are you doing all of a sudden?”
“No, because I suddenly got goosebumps.”
“Isn’t that bad?”
Minji, who was next to me, asked in a worried voice. I got close though.
“No, it’s not like that. Are you worried?”
“It’s not like that. It’s just a partner, so take care of yourself properly.”
He turned his head again with a slightly embarrassed expression. She was talking in a small voice, but Mina was glancing at her, as if she could hear it.
She smiled at Min-ah, and she turned her head away with a puzzled look on her face as she continued her class.
Shall I check to see if I put it well inside as I ordered?
I thought it was an ordinary plug-in, but it was classified as an artifact.
[ Vibrate Mode: Activate Step 1? ]
‘Activate’
“Dungeons are grouped… You know they are classified by type, right?”
“Now, do you know what the first thing to do when you go to a special dungeon?”
She was a bit startled at first, and her voice trembled, but she quickly returned to normal.
I was told to put it in every day, but it seems that he listened well to what he said.
I would have never imagined that there would be a vibration function to pay attention to this way.
‘Because I didn’t know.’
She was playing while adjusting the vibration moderately, but she felt a subtle stinging gaze from behind.
When I turned my head, there was Hong Ryu-seok glaring at me with murderous eyes.
‘That bastard is there again’
I can’t even see my eyes properly, I’m secretly staring at you from behind.
It was the person who jumped at him, and he looked at it as much as he could, but honestly, it was hard to look at him favorably when he came out with that attitude.
‘Just ignore it.’
Maybe it’s because I’m used to it, but it’s not that intrusive, it just looks cute.
‘No, it’s pitiful.’
Her face honestly resembles a kappa, a Japanese yōkai, and girls hate her.
If I felt ridiculed because I was the last, it was a feeling that Hong Ryu-seok was biologically disliked.
‘Cheer up, baby’
It won’t be long after you’ve been in last place, so it’ll be hard to adapt. Well, as someone who has already experienced it myself, I can skip this much.
‘Are you getting goosebumps because of that bastard?’
It’s a little awkward, but it won’t be a big problem. I just need to get ready for the next scenario quest.
