Chapter 100: 98

Chapter 98

Edited By: Sebas Tian

“H-huh……?”

As expected .

The members that were on the ground started coming back to their senses .

They didn’t know what happened, so they looked around with a blank expression .

And when they found Hyun-Soo standing tall before them, they realized that they came back to reality, so they released a sigh of relief .

Some released their anger by using profanity while hitting a wall and others stretched out on the ground knowing that they were safe .

A a few started crying .

“Ahhhhhh . It was really scary! Hiccup!”

Katrina was one of them and when she found Hyun-Soo after looking around, she started crying and ran towards him .

Hyun-Soo felt some sort of burdened, so when he slightly moved his body, she cried even harder .

‘I have that egg in my pocket . ’

It felt like he made a kid cry, so when he patted Katrina’s head, she stopped crying for a moment and then started crying again .

They mentioned books, studying, failing, so they probably had a traumatic experience related to those things .

While Hyun-Soo was calming down Katrina, the members overcame the remaining illusions .

“Damn it, I didn’t realize it was an illusion . ”

Eugene spoke while massaging his temple .

“On top of that, it felt like I was stuck in another illusion within that illusion! It’s an experience I never want to experience again . ”

“How did we come back to reality though?”

When one person asked, the rest naturally turned their attention to Hyun-Soo .

“I cleared the portal . ”

That meant that he killed the monster that owned this portal .

“What?”

“Really?”

The hunters all looked surprised when they heard that .

They didn’t realize that there was a monster and on top of that, they were helpless against the monster’s skill .

But the new member, Hyun-Soo, detected the illusion by himself and even cleared it .

In the members’ eyes, Hyun-Soo took the necessary steps .

“Where’s the monster that you killed?”

They just came back to their senses and the hunt was already over .

The members wanted to see the monster that Hyun-Soo killed .

Hyun-Soo led them to where Karazhan’s corpse was .

“A psychological monster…”

“There are theories that says that they could exist, but who knew one would actually appear…and on top of that, at a place like this . ”

David massaged his head, most likely because of a headache .

When the members confirmed that a psychological monster existed and that they were helpless against the monster’s skill, the members had mixed feelings .

“First, let’s take the corpse with us . Hyun-Soo, when we return to the base, please stop by my personal room . ”

“Understood . ”

After the members placed Karazhan’s corpse inside a plastic bag, they exited the portal .

As soon as they exited, the staff that were waiting started asking a lot of questions .

But Kim Yoo-Na refused to answer their questions and calmed them down .

They were probably extremely curious, but there weren’t any information she could share with them right now .

The members didn’t really know much anyways .

Hyun-Soo was the only one that had a lot of information .

After returning to the base, Hyun-Soo met with Kim Yoo-Na .

***

“Thanks for letting me know . You really helped out a lot . ”

“I only did what I thought was right . ”

“That’s not true . If it weren’t for you, our clan would’ve died inside that portal . If the first group doesn’t come back, the second group will enter and after experiencing the same thing that we did, the monster will kill them”

When Hyun-Soo informed everything he knew, Kim Yoo-Na thanked him .

It was easy to assume that it was a corpse, but when informing her about the appearance, size and distinct features, a lot of time had already passed .

“This situation is so serious that it could cause an issue . I can’t even imagine how big of an issue it will be . ”

Kim Yoo-Na looked straight at Hyun-Soo after mumbling .

“I really don’t know how to pay you back for this . I’m already having a hard time paying you back for the things I got…”

With a troubled look, Kim Yoo-Na stopped talking midway .

Like she mentioned, if Hyun-Soo wasn’t with them, they would’ve failed the hunt .

Like the guilds and groups that didn’t return, their clan could’ve disappeared after being labeled as a failed clan .

‘But we succeeded . ’

They succeeded twice in a row .

They didn’t know how big of an effect this success was going to bring them .

But there was one thing they knew .

The clan now had a lot of power .

A power called information .

People only made theories about psychological type monsters and since the clan now had information that no other clans had, they had the advantage .

This was all possible because Hyun-Soo was there .

“I’ll gladly take the credit for all I’ve done, but it’s really fine . I didn’t do it because I expected something in return . Actually, you trying to reward for everything that I’ve is more burdensome . I just did the right thing as a member of this clan, so giving me a reward makes me feel like an outsider . ”

“…That wasn’t my intention . If you felt that way, then it’s my fault . I’m sorry . ”

Even though she apologized, Hyun-Soo had an idea why Kim Yoo-Na was acting that way .

She felt indebted .

It was the same thing he felt towards Kim Yoo-Na a long time ago .

Kim Yoo-Na was feeling the same thing towards Hyun-Soo .

It’s because she clearly knew that Hyun-Soo’s actions affected the clan greatly .

On top of that, she felt emotionally indebted towards him when it came to Hye-Na .

If he just left things the way they are now, she might try to pull the Cinderella plan again .

‘It was so embarrassing’

Hyun-Soo remembered the embarrassment he felt then, so he decided to end things here .

“There’s no need to apologize . Hm…then can you allow me to take one thing?”

“What is it?”

“This . ”

Hyun-Soo took out the egg from his pocket .

He forget about it since he was focused on sharing information about Karazhan, but he remembered it at the right moment .

“What is that? An egg?”

“Yes, I think it’s Karazhan’s egg . ”

Hyun-Soo knew it belonged to Karazhan, but if he confirmed that it was, then she could become suspicious, so he answered vaguely .

“Oh wow…this is the first time I’ve heard a monster leaving their offspring . ”

Kim Yoo-Na expressed her surprise as she looked at the small, purple egg with gold patterns on it .

“Is this…alive?”

“Touch it . It’s warm . ”

“……!”

After Kim Yoo-Na carefully took the egg from Hyun-Soo, she admired it .

“I’ve been surprised many times already . ”

“The colorful portal itself is pretty surprising . It wouldn’t be weird if more surprising things happened on top of that . ”

The portal itself was already surprising .

Normally, colorful portals aren’t supposed to exist .

If that was true, then portals and the existence of hunters wasn’t a normal thing .

“Can you make it hatch?”

“Yeah, probably . I’m thinking about trying . ”

“If you need anything, just let me know . I’ll support in any way that I can . ”

Kim Yoo-Na promised to help in any possible . It seemed like she was thinking about the possible outcomes after it hatches .

“An incubator would be nice . ”

“I’ll have it prepared for you right away . ”

Kim Yoo-Na quickly added more information on the report she created and then nodded her head .

She gladly agreed to him keeping the egg .

She could’ve asked to hand it over to the clan, but she didn’t hesitate in her decision .

But she must’ve felt excited about it, because she offered to do some research to see if something similar happened before .

There was a very small chance, but Kim Yoo-Na looked pretty excited .

***

As soon as Hyun-Soo returned to the dorm, the first thing he did was wrap the egg with a blanket . He then placed it in a warm area .

‘I hope the incubator comes soon . ’

It showed on Interface as well .

That he needed to be careful and gently take care of it .

On top of that, he had to be cautious when holding it .

‘…I kept it in my pocket all this time, but it should be fine, right?’

He used Interface to check and luckily, there wasn’t anything different .

It was night and Hyuna visited after attending her afterschool program .

The egg was the first thing she discovered as soon as she walked in, so she started observing it with interest .

“This is a monster’s egg? It’s so pretty though . ”

“Insects and animals that are poisonous look pretty too . ”

“Yeah, but they’re a monster . ”

“It’s the same when it comes to being dangerous towards humans . ”

When Hyun-Soo said they were all the same, Hyuna shook her head .

“You lack emotion, Hyun-Soo . ”

“…What’s the point in being emotional towards a monster?”

He almost got killed by a monster that played with human emotions .

Since it wasn’t a good experience, Hyun-Soo spoke bluntly .

“No one is bad right when they’re born . Even though they’re a monster, don’t you think things will be different based on how they’re raised and treated?”

She was referring to wild beasts that were raised by humans .

“I don’t know . ”

When Hyun-Soo didn’t show any reaction, Hyuna said, “Maybe not, but still!”

“I heard you’re trying to hatch it . Then we should hope for the best . Who know? If we tell them that they’re nice and kind everyday, they might really hatch with a nice personality . There’s a reason why moms believe prenatal education is important . ”

“Then why don’t you come over and take care of it?”

“Really? Can I?”

Since Hyun-Soo wasn’t the gentle type, he welcomed it .

Hyuna smiled brightly when Hyun-Soo gave her permission .

If Kim Yoo-Na brings the incubator and Hyuna takes care of the egg, then 24 days will definitely pass by really fast .

Hyuna poked his side while Hyun-Soo was thinking about what a relief it was .

“But you have to take care of it too . It’s your responsibility since you brought it!”

“Can’t you take care of it?”

“Nope . When an animal hatches, the first figure they see is engraved into their mind . Since you brought it, you’re the owner . ”

Hyuna lectured him after telling him about the duck that saw a human right when they hatched and how the duck started following the human, thinking that it was their mother .

“I got it . ”

He wasn’t sure if it was true, but Hyun-Soo nodded his head because he felt pressured by Hyuna .

Hyuna created a temporary incubator by placing every lamp on top of the egg . She already started taking care of the egg .

But Hyuna’s shabby incubator was soon replaced by an incubator that a staff brought .

“I hope it grows up without any issues . ”

Hyuna mumbled while looking at Karazhan’s egg that was neatly placed inside the incubator .

“Me too . ”

Hyun-Soo agreed with her .

He was looking forward to the thing that was going to come out of the egg .

24 days .

The days left until it hatched .
