Shutout to our new Patron, Rabusmar, Samuel and Carlos. You guys are awesome! We really appreciated your support! Thankyou so much!!!

Seol Jungyeon quietly opened the door of the cabin and went outside, wind brushed past her cheek. Unlike before, it wasn’t a fierce cold wind but a comfortable warm wind.

She walks on the snowy ground without leaving any trace of footsteps. She was originally a warrior who rose to the status of Cheonma, or in earth terms of superpower ranking, she is a SSS Rank superhuman. so even if she didn’t have to try, Trace erasing(踏雪無痕) come naturally to her.

Seol Jungyeon sat on a rock on the hill side while watching the sun rising through the clouds. Her facial expressions looked better than ever.

“Sigh….”

As she exhaled, her warm breath filled the air.

In fact, if she ever found any chance to kill herself, she would do it without thinking twice

There was a time when Supreme Cheonma led her own people. The path she walked soon became her will, and she spread her dream across the world. In this process, she lost numerous comrades. They were people who didn’t cowered in fear even in the face of death. And every single one of them would always leave the same word behind.

‘Make your dreams come true.’

When was it? It was a memory from a distant place she couldn’t clearly remember anymore.

‘I want you to walk your own path, follow your own dreams. You don’t have to go down to the same painful path as me, you don’t have to carry my burden, please, make your dream come true.’

Those were the last words from her benefactor.

However, she had no dreams for herself. Therefore, she made the dream of the late Supreme Cheonma as her own. The dream of making the Cheonma Sect as the center of the world.

However, her dream collapsed.

The Cheonma Sect fell into ruins, and she, the last evidence of the group, had her inner qi sealed.

She was trapped in a space of around 10 pyeong in the middle of nowhere, with no human contact or even the freedom to kill herself.

Each and every day was like hell. She lost everything precious to her. She had no reason to live anymore, yet, she couldn’t even take her own life. That was why she had been crying everyday for the last four year.

If there was hell, would it be a place like this?

No matter how much she begged Dharma to kill her, he refused and proposed a deal that was worse than the hell she currently dealt with.

He asked her to put down and give up the name ‘Cheonma’, the essence of her existence, and become just an ordinary woman. Was there anything more terrible than that?

‘I’d rather die than give up the name Cheonma.’

Like that, while she barely lived by and put down everything, a mysterious butterfly flew through the window and said.

-I’ll come to you.

Her heart raced. Her forgotten hope of leaving this damn snowy mountain once again resurfaced. She no longer dreams about the Cheonma Sect.

Cheonma, no, Seol Jeongyoon was finally able to dream for herself.

-How are you today?

The silver-colored butterfly didn’t let Seol Jungyeon wallow in despair alone. It constantly visited and talked to her.

-I had ramyeon for breakfast today.

-It was a gift from my friend.

-The weather is nice here.

Seol Jungyeon could not have a normal conversation for 5 years, this included the 4 years she was locked up in Murim. At best, it was a one-sided quarrel with Dharma, her eternal enemy.

Seol Jung-yeon desperately clinged on to the silver butterfly and lived with a new-found anxiety.

‘What should I do If he starts hating me and leaves me?’

She didn’t want to go back to that lonely hell ever again. She wanted someone to talk to her and she wanted to talk to someone.

Why didn’t she know about these feelings back then?

She was so happy to see herself as a person rather than as Cheonma.

Seol Jungyeon waited for the day to finally come while reading the messages from the man whose face she didn’t even know. She didn’t know that the longing feelings inside her chest were getting more and more intense.

However, in the corner of her heart, she had a doubt.

‘Can I hold onto this happiness?’

Supreme Dharma was someone who had achieved a realm of ‘Heavenly warrior.’ A realm higher than herself. Even if everyone in Murim fought him, the odds of winning were slim. How could she avoid the eyes of an existence like him?

‘Is it really possible? Or am I just holding onto an impossible hope?’

It was a weak hope like an ember of a candle that flickered in a storm.

However, Seol Jungyeon refused to give up. It wasn’t because of her will, but that hope was the only one thing she could believe in. She was prepared to die if everything failed, so she wrapped the candle in her palms to protect it carefully.

In the end, she succeeded in protecting the flickering candle.

A wild blizzard that had not stopped for decades finally stopped. And at the same time, hundreds of Murim warriors came to Himalaya.

“Have you been waiting for a long time?”

Like a miracle, the door of the cabin that seemed to never open, unlatched itself. And a single man walked in.

‘Am I dreaming?’

It was such a happy day, she felt like she was in a hazy dream.

She was worried that she would wake up from this dream and return to those hellish days. That’s why she kept checking this reality every now and then.

‘It’s not a dream.’

An unfamiliar pain that she felt on her lower abdomen was telling her that this moment was indeed reality.

He was a very friendly and caring man.

In fact, Seol Jungyeon also knew that he didn’t love her yet.

Nevertheless, she had to hold onto him. The only reason why she was able to live even after laying her everything down was because of Yoo Seodam. He was the first man who gave her the desire to live in the five years she wanted to die.

She felt thankful, so she would have accepted his unreasonable and rude demands if he ever asked.

The reason she asked him to do the ‘deeds’ with her last night was to reassure herself about her reason to stay alive.

‘It’s okay though.’

She had already decided to keep living. So, no matter how much time she needed to wait for him, she would continue waiting for him. Furthermore, it was a wait filled with sweet feelings, not an agonizing wait. She could wait for him for a thousand years, even ten thousand years.

Swoosh!

Lotus bloomed from her fingertips. She already gave up the name Cheonma and became nothing but Seol jungyeon. But she still had the skill to make a lotus bloom from her fingertips.

‘At the very least, I can’t give up the leader position of the new Murim alliance.’

* * *

A month has passed since I hunted Supreme Dharma.

The world changed rapidly as people started to pay more attention to a new force called the Murim Alliance.

-The Murim Alliance, who defeated the SSS-ranked monster who ruled the Himalaya, asked the world to recognize them as Murim warriors, not Hunters.

-This is an interview with Seol Jungyeon, the leader of the Murim Alliance.

As Seol Jungyeon walked towards the interviewee on the stage, cheers rang from afar. Her fans come to see her for the interview held in public.

In the span of one month, she quickly gained popularity. She was an unprecedented talent with a beautiful appearance that seemed unlikely to be found anywhere in the world ever again. And more than that, she was also an SSS-rank hunter.

Even 31 years after the Great War, only three SSS-rank hunters emerged. And now all of them were inactive. And so, she became the only active SSS-rank hunter in the world.

She had everything that made people pay attention to her.

She was the hope for all Hunter that couldn’t handle Ether. Her knowledge about martial arts, her beautiful appearance and even her SSS-rank status.

Perhaps sooner or later the forces who followed her would grow stronger.

Thanks to that, I’ve been really busy. In the first place, Murim warriors didn’t know anything about the hunter industry, so they really needed my help. And I couldn’t work alone, so I had no choice but to get help. And among them, there were F-rank hunters as well as former hunter association executives.

They knew more about the hunter industry than anyone else, and Park Seong-ho even flew to China to help the Seol Jungyeon after hearing that she could revive the prestige of the incompetent F-rank hunter.

Murim Alliance.

They hadn’t accepted modern people yet, but the world had no choice but to pay attention to them because they were the only ray of hope for the incompetent hunters to learn new ability.

The newly created Murim Alliance guild gave their seat of the leader to Seol Jungyeon, but the management rights returned to me. Thus, I made my guild a subsidiary guild under the Murim Alliance. Anyway, both the Alliance and my guild were eventually operated by me.

I’ve been so busy. Not only do I have to work hard to get the Murim alliance properly recognized as a guild, I also have to work hard because of personal matters.

“I want to live for Murim people.”

It was Shin Hye-ji.

It took exactly one month for her to move on from her grief.

She couldn’t accept the reality that her father, whom she trusted with her whole heart, was actually the kind of monster she hated most. Moreover, she quit the academy and was stuck in despair in the reality where there was no one to lean on anymore.

“Miss Hye-ji.”

“My dad tried to act on wrong justice. Yes, I can’t take that.”

What made her change? I don’t know that either. However, it was good to see Shin Hye-ji become more determined than ever.

She said, “I heard that there’s a lack of administration personnel to support the Murim Alliance.”

“It’s okay… President Park Seong-ho is operating it right now. So Hye-ji has nothing to worry about.”

In fact, I can’t do it either… Because my head was a little bit on the dumb side in that aspect.

“I, I will go to the Murim alliance and learn from President Park Seong-ho. I’m still lacking a lot, I know too little about everything, even at martial arts they are way better than me…. At least, I need to atone for my father’s sins.”

“Miss Hye-ji. You don’t have to atone for your father’s sins….”

“No! I’ll do it.”

She expressed her determination in a firm manner.

“I will live my entire life for the Murim people. My martial arts will be used for everyone. So, I have a request.”

“Request?”

“Yes. Please put a ban on me.”

“What? No, what kind of request is that….”

“Please.”

She said.

“If I ever use my dad’s Mugong and walk on the wrong path… At that time, Mister Yoo Seodam, please stop me.”

“…..okay. Okay.”

In the end, I had no choice but to put a ban on Shin Hye-ji. After that, I explained the content of the ban to her, ‘When the user wants, she can destroy her own qi at any time.’

Perhaps satisfied with the fact that she could no longer go out of line, Shin Hye-ji quit the academy and flew straight to China. She will probably go through numerous trials and errors. Because she didn’t know much about the industry and she can’t even have a conversation without a translator. But the most challenging challenge for her will be the difference between Murim and modern earth culture.

[Later.]

-I can’t do that…

“I know.”

In fact, I didn’t put any ban on Shin Hye-ji. In the first place, there was no way I could put a high-level ban that could block someone’s magic power anytime I wanted. I said those things to Shin Hye-ji to make her feel as if she was under control. In the future, she would continue to control herself with her own will.

His immediate work was over.

Contrary to the busy Murim Alliance side, my guild, ‘Another League’ had just been created, and one of the guild members had already left, so it was only two members now.

‘Well, it’s earlier than planned. Should I get a new guild member?’

After thinking for a moment, I talked to the system.

“Show me my stats.”

<Yoo Seodam.>

[Level:140]

*Status

[Strength 140] [Stamina 140] [Agility 140]

[Energy 1] [Magic power180]

*Talent

[Swordsmanship S] [Hunting D+] [Shooting C]

[Cooking D-] [Intuition A] [Quick-wit A]

[Etc…..]

*Skill

[Protagonist Hunter Lv. 4]

[White swordsmanship(S)]

[Sixth sense (C)]

[Ara-Sunyoung-sutra(SS+)]

[Library of the white witch(E)]

[Inventory (S)]

[How to run like the wind (S)]

[Concentration (S+)]

My level was 140, and the rank of my skill had risen considerably. According to the system’s words, A-rank hunter was around level 115, so the current me had a much higher ability than an A-rank hunter. But of course, I shouldn’t get conceited. In many worlds, there were many strong people, and among them there were superhumans that had URS rank or even higher, such as Dharma.

Although I gained strength faster than I ever expected, it was still lacking. There will be a time when I’ll need more strength to protect myself and the people around me.

Moreover,

‘Hell Gate. To get there, I need to be stronger than this.’

My expression hardened when I remembered what I had seen inside the Hell Gate.

Someone said to me that I saw nothing, that I wasn’t sane at the time, and I was so confused that I couldn’t distinguish between reality and illusion.

However, I firmly believed in what I saw.

‘Reina Ju.’

The other world beyond Hell Gate. And her back that I saw there, even though everybody said she’s dead.

“Phew…. System. You said you can’t find the dimension I want?”

<Yes. Because of my lack of strength… I’m sorry.>

“No. Don’t worry about it.”

<If the protagonist hunter’s level increases, my strength will rise as well, at that time maybe I could find it.>

“Alright.”

The Protagonist Hunter’s skill became level 4 after successfully hunting Lee Dong-joon. The amount of items that could be carried from one world to another increased as the inventory skill became S rank.

More importantly, the importance of the phrases [You can intervene with the flow of the story] and [the time difference now can be adjusted] were pretty big.

Time difference. It was also the most important thing to me as I had a lot of work to do on modern Earth. Unlike before, I couldn’t spend my time in another world for several months. There were a lot of people looking for me these days.

“Well, then, let’s take the next mission already.”

<Good. Oh, before that, there is one thing that bothers me these days….>

“What?”

<Umm… Nevermind, it’s still unclear. I will tell you later.>

“Alright then,. Please show me the list of the mission.”

When I was about to receive the list of the mission, suddenly,

[Skill ‘Library of the White Witch(E)’ had been raised to D rank.]

[D-rank library access and the penalty….]

[…….]

[The penalty has been offset.]

I stood up from my seat as soon as I saw the message.

“What happened? Why did the rank suddenly rise?”

I immediately activated the ‘Library of the White Witch’ and entered the imaginary world. When I looked around, I could see spellbooks flying in the air as they found their own place, and as I passed through the E-rank library and reached the end of the corridor, I could see the entrance of the ‘D-rank library’ was opened wide.

Gulp.

“C, can I really go in with no penalty?”

[The penalty has been offset.]

“Can I really go?”

[The penalty has been offset.]

In the end, I decided to believe what the library said and slowly stepped into the D-rank library.

Inside,

“Ah? You come?”

“……You, what are you doing here?”

“Ah. Well, I thought there was a more interesting book here, so I came in.”

“Before that, how did you get in?”

“Hmm? I just opened the door and came in…Wa-was it a place I shouldn’t have come in? I’m sorry.”

“No, it’s not like that…”

Yekaterina was reading a book as big as her body. She sat in the corner of the D-rank library with her white hair hanging down.

I was bewildered and couldn’t help but mutter…

“You are the real witch….”
