Chapter 18: Black Star Organization (1)
"…Huh?"
As if hearing the unimaginable, the youth tilted his head.
"You'll sell it?"
Cases of selling a star relic that hadn't even gone through an appraisal were uncommon.
"Yes. I don't think it has the performance I'm looking for; it doesn't seem to react to my touch either. And…"
Ohjin glanced at the five people in black robes with a friendly smile.
They were a suspicious group that gave off a strange pseudo-religious aura.
A bloody aura like that of a professional killer leaked out.
'Well, this is predictable.'
Ohjin lightly shrugged.
"Isn't my life worth more than this star relic after all?"
"…What?"
The youth tilted his head in confusion.
And soon—
"Ha, haha! Hahahaha!! I think there's a misunderstanding!"
—holding onto his belly, he exploded in laughter.
"A misunderstanding?"
"Haha, yes. That's right."
The youth that had tears in his eyes touched the hem of his robe and nodded.
"Well… the fact that our guild uniform is dreary is true; it's our guild leader's mysterious sense of style."
He took off the robe that encompassed his entire body.
Under the robe was light leather armor similar to that most Awakeners enjoyed wearing.
"Certainly Awakeners turning into robbers inside dungeons is a common occurrence, but… we're not like them, so there's no need to be so cautious."
"Ah, I shouldn't have misunderstood."
Acting embarrassed, Ohjin bowed down.
'Misunderstanding?'
Smirking on the inside, he laughed.
'Bullshit.'
The clear murderous intent he felt when they saw the star relic in his hands.
A suspicious get-up that covered their entire body.
And, above all…
'They emanated the same aura as this star relic.'
An unpleasant, malicious aura with sticky viscosity.
Since he had absorbed the 'Black Star's power' through the Black Heaven moments ago, he could be certain.
'These bastards…'
'Have the same Black Star's power as the star relic.'
"Haha. Sorry for being discourteous; the world these days is so chaotic."
"Don't worry. We have also heard to be more cautious of Awakeners than monsters inside dungeons."
"Umm. Now that's that."
Ohjin once again held out the black drinking glass and smirked.
"This. Didn't you say that you need this?"
"Yes. The fact that we need it is the truth."
"If you name the right price, I'll sell it right now."
"Hmm. Do you have a separate reason for doing so?"
"As I said before, it seems to have a useless ability. If I got an appraisal and it turned out to be a 1~2-Star relic, won't I have to sell it at a cheaper price?"
He expressed that he wanted to sell it at the minimal price of a 3-Star relic in a roundabout way.
"Haha, I guess your words are true when you think about it that way. Very well. We will buy it."
Smiling brightly, the youth rummaged through the pocket of the robe he took off.
"How about trading it with this?"
What he took out was a starstone slightly larger than the size of a fist.
It was so pure that, rather than glowing, it radiated blue light.
'Wow, holy shit.'
A starstone with that size and purity would easily reach the hundred thousands.
At, worst 200~300k. He could even receive 400k if he went on a day when the market prices were high.
'That's the price of a premium foreign car.'
With that much, he would be one step, no, several steps closer to reaching his goal.
"Hm… Well, this seems like enough."
Doing his best to contain his shaking excitement, he nodded calmly.
The youth smiled brightly.
"Then the deal is established."
He exchanged the black drinking glass with the starstone the youth lent out.
"Fu, fufu. Finally…"
With the black drinking glass in his grasp, the youth cackled while excitedly shaking his shoulders.
Naturally, the black drinking glass he had handed over was nothing but the shell that remained after the Black Heaven had absorbed all its energy, but luckily it seemed that he hadn't noticed.
"Well then, I'll take my leave."
"Yes. Thank you for the deal."
After exchanging light nods with the youth, Ohjin moved towards the densely packed stalagmites around the cavern entrance.
"Kmf, pfft." he desperately tried to suppress his exploding laughter.
'Wow, great timing. I didn't think I'd be able to reel in such a pushover!'
Just when he had been so inwardly disappointed by the fact that the star relic he had earned after going through such hardship became an empty shell, a pushover appeared to buy that empty shell with hundreds of thousands of dollars. It was a windfall that was hard to come by.

"Pftufufu!!"
Laughing crudely in his mind, he hopped towards the entrance.
Of course.
—He didn't have any thoughts on idiotically leaving just like that.
'Black Curtain.'
Erasing his presence with the Black Curtain, he hid his body in between the stalagmites.
Lying flat on the ground, he crawled back to the cavern where he had found the star relic.
'Those bastards. They look way too suspicious, no matter how I think of it.'
He needed information on what objective they were looking for the star relic for and just what the Black Star's power was.
'By the way—'
Another question popped up in his mind.
'—Why was it not in six days, but now?'
Furrowing his brows, he recalled the memories that flowed from Lee Shinhyuk.
If it was according to the memories of Lee Shinhyuk from the 1st round…
'The star relic from this dungeon should be discovered in six days, on the 21st.'
However, those black-robed beings had entered the gate as soon as it had opened, like they had already known that a star relic laid dormant.
'No, since they said they came here aiming for it, they must have known.'
There wasn't a method of finding out how they found the gate as soon as it opened.
As there was no way they possessed memories of a Regressor like him, there was a high chance that an ability or item that located the 'Black Star's power' existed.
In any case—
'If I didn't come, these bastards would have taken the star relic.'
—the story didn't add up.
According to Lee Shinhyuk's memories, the star relic inside this dungeon should be discovered after six days.
There were two possibilities he could come up with.
'Due to some kind of reason, the future has changed, or…'
The star relic found on the 21st was not the black drinking glass but a different one.
'I'll know soon enough.'
Hidden within the densely packed stalagmites, he activated the stigma of the Hunting Dogs.
As the senses across his entire body amplified, he could hear the conversation the suspicious black robed beings were having.
"Why didn't we kill him, Sir Yujin?"
Yujin.
It seemed to be the name of the youth who he had traded with moments ago.
"Fufu. Isn't this place a dungeon that has just opened?"
"…Yes."
"Other Awakeners will flood in soon; it'll be a hassle if we leave unnecessary evidence."
"But we can perfectly dispose of dead bodies…"
"There isn't anything bad about staying safe, right?
Yujin slightly opened his half-shut eyes.
"Y-Yes! It's just as Sir Yujin has said!!"
"Haha. Thank you for understanding."
Smiling brightly, he gazed at the black drinking glass with mellow eyes.
"There isn't much time left until the era of stars will end and when the black stars will rule the skies."
He spread out his arms and turned his body around in a full circle as if he were in a play.
"All of those arrogant celestials will pay for their sins."
"The black stars grace!"
"To the Black Star Organization's glory!"
The four black-robed beings prostrated themselves on the ground.
Yujin laughed in satisfaction and picked up the robe he had dropped.
"The black stars are probably smiling brightly from everyone's devotion."
"We will follow the black stars' guidance!"
"Fufu. Ah, right. Have you brought the replacement star relic?"
"Of course."
The prostrating black-robed being stood up and took out something from his pocket.
A star relic in the shape of a drinking glass, glowing subtle blue light.
He lightly leaped onto the statue's head and inserted the star relic into the empty spot on its forehead.
"Then let's return."
"Yes, sir!"
As Yujin turned away, the other robed beings followed his back.
"Ah, right."
Clap—
As if he had remembered something, he clapped his hands.
He turned to one of the robed beings.
"You remember the face of the person I traded with, right?" he asked.
"Yes."
The black-robed being receiving his attention bowed deeply.
Yujin smiled brightly and continued.
"Follow his trace and kill him."
He ordered it like it was nothing.
"I will follow your orders."
"Ah, you know that you have to kill him outside the dungeon, right?"
"Of course."
The black-robed being who had received the order quickly headed towards the cave's entrance.
"Haha. Then we should go and report to the Executor."
Yujin and the three hooded beings all headed towards the cave's entrance.
"..."
Five minutes after the black-robed beings had disappeared…
Ohjin, who had been curled up in between the stalagmites, slowly stood.
"…Black Star Organization, huh?"
It was his first time hearing about it.
'I'm certain they're damn suspicious bastards. Are they some kind of illegal guild acting in the dark?'
Looking at their actions, they also seemed to be in some kind of pseudo-religion.
"There's a need to investigate deeper into this."
'The black stars will rule the skies? The celestials will pay for their sins? They certainly don't seem to be regular maniacs.'
"Anyways… So this is what happened."
Ohjin smirked while looking at the star relic stuck onto the stone statue's forehead.
One of his questions was answered.
'The future hasn't changed.'
What Lee Woohyuk and his guild members had found in six days was the star relic the Black Star Organization had replaced.
'Is that why they said that something was strange?'
Just before Lee Shinhyuk's memories were cut off.
He recalled the final words he heard.
The woman with glasses reporting to Lee Woohyuk definitely said 'some strange…' before the vision was cut off.
"Of course it's strange."
Ohjin reached out towards the star relic stuck on the statue.
Even if they had replaced it with a star relic of similar size, as expected, there was a foreign feeling unlike the original relic.
"I should take this as well."
He took out the blue star relic from the statue and put it in his sling backpack.
'The Black Heaven isn't reacting this time.'
It seemed like it had reacted not to the star relic, but the 'Black Star's power' dwelling within.
"Kyaa!!! How sweet~!"
He sold the empty shell of a star relic for an expensive starstone and also got his hands on another star relic that was used as a replacement.
'Well, a star relic used as a replacement will be at best 1~2 Star, but still.'
Even a 1-Star relic would amount to around $10000.
"Well then—"
After lightly stretching his body, he held the spear he had hidden between the stalagmites.
"—should I go catch the underling diligently running around in circles?"
The robed being that had gone out to chase him.
It was time to receive unanswered questions from the suspicious fellow.
* * *
"…Huh."
The man covered with a black robe narrowed his eyes.
"Why are there no tracks?"
Following the orders, he had searched for the tracks of the person he met in the cavern, but he couldn't find any trace of him outside the gate.
He entered the gate once again and searched through the complicated maze-like cave.
However—
"…What's going on here?"
—even though there were tracks of him heading inside, there were none heading outside.
'Dammit.'
He bit his lips with a nervous expression.
The appearance of Yujin and his bright smile popped up in his mind.
"Uh, ughh."
If he reported that he lost his track, there was no way Yujin would leave him alone.
"God dammit! Just where did he go!"
Bang!—
Failing to overcome his rage, he stomped his feet.
Flap!—
The hem of his black robe spread out.
And then,
"—Where? I'm right here."
Through the hem of the flapping robe, a spear's blade flashed in like lightning.
Thrust!!—
"Kugh! Kuk!!"
The eyes of the black-robed man widened.
Gazing at Ohjin, who had come from 'inside' the cave, his body shook in disbelief.
"Surprise, motherfucker."
Keke—
Ohjin twisted the spear that had pierced the man's stomach and smiled brightly.

Chapter 19: Black Star Organization (2)
"Kugh, kuk! H-How?"
The man's eyes widened and he grasped the spear that pierced his abdominal region.
Blood gushed everywhere.
Intense pain spread throughout his body.
However, more than the pain from his pierced abdomen, he received a greater shock from the fact that Ohjin had come from 'inside' the cave.
"I think you have a little misunderstanding."
Splat!—
Ohjin roughly twisted the spear pierced into the man's abdomen.
"Kugh!!! Kuhak!!!"
"I'm the one asking the questions here."
With a fishy smile, the man lowered his head.
"Nonsense!!"
Hwoong!—
The man wildly swung his fists.
From the swinging fists, a creepy black aura bloomed.
However…
Before the fiercely swung fists even made contact—
Crack! Crackle!!!—
"Arugagaggagagak!!!!"
Blue lightning sparked from the spear's blade that pierced the figure's abdomen.
Flop Flop—
His body flopped like a freshly caught fish, and he soon laid flat on the ground.
"Well, it's okay if I talk nonsense now, right?" Ohjin asked, pressing down on the man's chest with his knee.
"Tell me everything you know about the Black Star Organization."
"…Hah"
The man chuckled like he had heard something ridiculous.
He looked at Ohjin with arrogance in his eyes. "I have no reason to answ— KYAaaaaaaaak!!!"
Crunch—
Ohjin grabbed the man's left index finger and twisted it off.
"Really? Well, I guess I can't do anything about that."
He hadn't expected the man to obediently open his mouth anyways.
"You don't want to talk?"
"Huff! Huff!"
"Then, from now on—"
In times like this, the quickest and most efficient method…
"—don't speak a word."
…was primitive violence.
Crunch, Cruuunch!!—
One by one.
He twisted them off.
"Kiyaaaaaaaak!!!"
One. Two. Three.
The pulled apart fingers rolled around on the floor.
And just like that, after every finger on his left hand had been removed—
"Urggh… uh."
—with white foam dripping down, he opened his mouth.
"I, I'll— talk."
"Huh?"
"I… said I'll t-talk."
"Dude—"
Gripping the fingers on the other side, Ohjin shook his head.
"—what are you talking about?"
"…what?"
"Didn't I tell you not to speak a word?"
Crunch!!—
Breaking a finger on the other side, he smiled brightly.
"Uugyayayayatak!!!"
"Didn't you say that you didn't want to talk? Then don't say a word."
"N-No. That's—"
Cruuunch!—
One by one.
Just like the other side, Ohjin started to twist off the fingers.
"Ahhhhhhhh!! I-I said I'll talk!!!"
"Hey, there's no need to."
"B-Black Star Organization!! I'll tell you everything about them!!"
"Didn't I say that there's no need?"
"P-Please!!! I'll answer to everything, so…"
"I said there's no need to talk, you fuuuuuuuuck!!!!"
Bang!!!—
Holding onto the man's head, he violently slammed him down onto the floor.
"Why…!"
Bang!!!—
"Do you…!"
Bang!!!!—
"Keep trying to talk when I said there's no need?!"
Exploding out a fanatical scream, Ohjin continuously slammed the man's head down.
Although it was more than enough impact to instantly kill a normal person, the opponent wasn't a normal person but an Awakener.
Although his rank was unknown, as Awakeners received superhuman bodies together with their awakening, he wouldn't die from this amount of impact.
"Kkrhuk… ghuk… I-I'll t-talk. P-Please, I want… t-to talk."
The shivering man pathetically opened his mouth.
The man who had stared at him with an arrogant attitude cried pathetically like a three-year-old baby that had accidentally stepped on a lego in the living room.
'Should I end things here?'
Ohjin looked down on the pathetically shivering man and smirked.
'Indeed, this has the most direct effect.'
Unreasonable and irrational violence.
People met with fanatic violence outside the scope of common sense and reason were bound to be swept by fear close to that of trauma.
'There isn't anything scarier than a psycho who refuses to communicate.'
The effects looked certain, judging by the fact that the man's pants were wet.
"You want to talk now?"
"Yes, yes! I-I want to talk!"
"Alright then, give it a shot. What is the Black Star Organization, and what the fuck are the black stars?"
The man slowly nodded his head.
"T-The Black Star Organization is… an organization created by Black Star's celestials.
"…Black Star's celestial?"
"Yes, yes!"
'The hell is a Black Star's celestial?'
"I-In the past when all the stars were swallowed by darkness… t-the celestials born in that time are the Black Star's celestial."
"Fuck, how will I understand if you put it in that way?"
"Hiiiik!! I-I have simply only heard it that way from the Templar!!!"
The man curled up like a mole exposed to cold air.
"Anyways. Alright. So you're telling me that you're all Awakeners that follow the Black Star's celestial or whatever?"
"…Yes, that's correct.
"Alright, then, tell me the scale and where you guys are hiding."
"M-Mt. Baekunsan! Mt. Baekunsan located in Cheorwon-gun is where our branch is located."
"Is the entire mountain yours, you dumbass? You need to tell me the precise location, you dumbfuck."
"Aahhhh!! I apologize!!!"
Screaming from the threatening voice, the man pulled out his hair while shivering.
"There is a run-down observatory at the peak of Mt. Baekunsan! I-It's in the basement of that place!!"
"The scale?"
"A-Around fifty."
'Shit.'
'That's quite a lot.'
"That's the branch, right? Then where's the headquarters?"
"I-I don't know."
"You don't fucking know? "
'Let's go for the toes this time.'
"I-I-I really don't know!! Only the Templar knows of the headquarters location!! I'm telling you, an underling like me won't even be told the locations of the other branches!!"
"Hm…"
It didn't seem like he was lying.
'Well, there's no way they would reveal all that information to this small fry.'
'Bastards that babbled about making celestials pay for their sins would definitely operate with thorough security.'
"Is that Yujin bastard a Templar?"
"T-That's correct!"
The man quickly nodded his head like a broken metronome.
"But I seriously don't understand."
"Which part…?"
"Why are you following those suspicious bastards in the first place?"
He couldn't come up with a reason why they would plead loyalty to an organization that looked no different from a pseudo-religion.
"..."
The man shut his mouth tight for a while and soon said out in a low voice.
"…he gave it to us."
"What?"
"Sir Yujin has… granted us stigmas."
"Ah."
A short exclamation flowed out of Ohjin's mouth.
He recalled the image of people gathering and desperately praying to the celestials in front of the Sanctum.
'So they were using stigmas as bait.'
Although he didn't know what methods they used to grant stigmas, he could definitely understand why people were following such a suspicious group.
'The world is probably packed with people that will willingly kill either their parents or children in order to become Awakeners.'
It was that kind of world.
'Well, I don't think there's any more information left to gain.'
It was time to finish things up.
Shove—

Yanking out the spear in the man's abdomen, Ohjin aimed at his head.
"W-Wait!! Wait a minute!!!"
The man urgently screamed out.
"I-I have… a single daughter with me!! Please… please spare my life…!"
Drip Drip—
The man dropped his head while pouring out tears.
"You have a daughter?"
"…Yes, that's right. The truth is… the reason I joined the Black Star Organization was all for that child."
Biting his lips, he tightly closed his eyes.
"If… if I disappear all of a sudden, that child…"
There was no way a parentless child would be able to live well in this hell-like world.
That was something Ohjin himself knew better than anyone else.
Bang!—
The man roughly ground his forehead into the hard stone floor.
"I beg of you!! At least for the child, please spare my life…!"
"Hm."
"Or in the least… let me have time to say my last farewells to my daughter!!! Please!! I'm begging you earnestly!!" he cried out with a wretched expression.
Ohjin narrowed his eyes and looked down at the prostrating man.
"Name."
"Yes?"
"What's your daughter's name?"
"…Yerin. It's Choi Yerin."
"Age?"
"S-She's nine! It's still too young of an age to live alone in this world…"
"When's her birthday?"
"Yes?"
He urged the man that had an expression that seemed to ask why he was asking such questions.
"Quick. Answer the questions I ask. When's her birthday."
"It's on December… 14th"
"Favorite food?"
"…Why are you asking that?"
"You won't answer?"
"Pizza… n-no it's chicken!"
"Height and weight?"
"Uh… 131cm and… 2-28!! She's 28kg!!"
"Is that right?"
Ohjin nodded his head as if he had understood.
Choi Yerin, aged nine, birthday on December 14th, favorite food is chicken, 131cm, 27kg.
"Well, then."
Smirk—
He grasped his spear as the edge of his lips tilted up.
"Answer the questions I have asked so far in reverse."
A silence settled down like time had frozen.
"—what?"
The man's mouth and two eyes opened wide.
His legs shook like leaves in the wind.
"Weight and height, favorite food, birthday, age, name. Answer it."
"T-That's, uhh. 28kg… and. W-Wait… wait a minute!"
"Why? Don't remember?"
Well.
It was understandable that he couldn't remember, because…
"Lying backwards is hard by nature."
'Although I can.'
Thrust—
Blood poured down the spear's blade that had slightly penetrated the man's flesh.
"A-Agh. P-Please spare me! I don't want to dieeeeeee!!!"
The man fell into panic as soon as he felt the touch of the spear's blade on his skull.
"One last question. Where was your branch located again?"
"C-Cheorwon. The peak of Mt. Baekunsan…"
"Alright."
'So that wasn't a lie.'
Psshk!!!—
"Kugh, kuk!"
The blade precisely pierced through the middle of the man's forehead and crushed his brain.
"Fuu."
Snap—
Once the moment of tension was undone, a drowsy sensation enveloped Ohjin.
'Black Star Organization…'
Sweeping back his hair, he furrowed his brows.
"What a pain in the ass."
He ended up standing out to the suspicious group.
No, it wouldn't matter that much if it finished on the note of simply standing out, but—
'I thought they'd be great pushovers to take advantage of, but I ended up provoking a beehive.'
—he ended up scamming a group filled with dangerous beings.
"Ugh."
Feeling light-headed, Ohjin placed his hand on his forehead.
'There's no way they'll let this be, right?'
Revenge, blackmail…
Whatever the reason, they would appear before him once again.
'But it's not like I can face them alone either.'
Fifty was too many.
"…I'll need to prepare countermeasures."
There wasn't anything he could do right now.
"Well… you could also call this a good opportunity."
Ohjin removed the dead man's robe.
On his left chest was a stigma with a shape he had never seen before.
'So this is a Black Star's stigma.'
Spreading out his hands, he placed it on top of the stigma.
Rumble—
The black cloud that flowed from his palm enveloped the stigma.
Mana flowed into his body with an unpleasant feeling, similar to that of the star relic he had absorbed.
-Ring!
[The Black Heaven is absorbing the stigma of the Owl Nebula!]
[The amount of the stigma of the Owl Nebula is too insignificant to activate.]
"What kind of abilities will a Black Star's stigma have?"Stigma of the Owl Nebula…
Smirk—
Ohjin stuck out his tongue and greedily licked his lips.
* * *
The radiant Milky Way that split up the night sky.
Looking up at the uncountable amount of stars shining in the night sky, a white-haired elder narrowed his eyes.
Flutter!—
Then, a black owl landed on the elder's shoulder.
"Hmhm. So he has arrived?"
The elder nodded as if sharing a conversation with the owl, then slowly turned his body to face a black-robed youth respectfully kneeling with one knee on the ground.
"Holholhol," the man's peculiar owl-like laughter emerged. "Have you come, Yujin?"
"Yes, Executor."
Gulp—
Kneeling in front of the white-haired elder, Yujin swallowed nervously.
Even though he had worked under the elder for a couple of years, he felt a pressure that stiffened his body every time they met.
'…it's only natural.'
The elder standing in front of his eyes was the Black Star Organization's 6th ranked Executor—
—King of Owls, Cheon Doyoon.
'However…'
Today, he possessed a card that would relieve him from some of the intense pressure.
"Alright— so did you bring the object?"
"Of course."
Yujin took out the star relic from his robe and carefully placed it down.
A black drinking glass slightly larger than the size of a fist.
Inside of it dwelled the 'Black Star's power'.
"Holholhol!!"
Letting out a peculiar laugh, the elder smiled brightly.
"Well done, Yujin."
"Fufu. It wasn't anything too difficult."
Shrugging proudly, Yujin shook his head.
"Owls."
The elder slightly raised his hand up.
Flutter—
Together with the sound of flapping wings, dozens of beings wearing black robes appeared from the dark.
The elder sent a hand signal towards Yujin.
Nodding his head, Yujin carried the black drinking glass towards the complicated and bizarre magic circle engraved on the ground.
"At last, after the long wait, this day has come."
Yujin placed the black drinking glass in the middle of the magic circle and spread his two arms with a proud expression.
"Do you see this! That detestable sky!"
Flap—
The robe Yujin was wearing fluttered from the strong wind.
"That radiant night sky will be covered with black stars!!!!"
"..."
"..."
Powerful gazes shone under the deeply worn hood.
Although there were no words…
Dozens of Black Star Organization members observed the ritual with their breaths gradually growing more rapid.
"Now!!", Yujin shouted, pouring mana into the engraved magic circle.
"Look here!! The appearance of the Black Stars blessing our path!!!!!"
Owoong!!!—
As the magic circle engraved onto the ground shone with black light—
"This is nothing but the beginning!!!"
—nothing happened.
"Soon, more objects engrained with the blessing with appe—huh?
Yujin looked down at the magic circle which had stopped giving off a black light with a confused expression.
"…What?"
Knock Knock—
No matter how much he looked around and touched it, it showed no reaction.
"Why's it like this?"
The gaze of dozens pierced him.
He could see the expression of the elder distorting.
"Uh, uhhh? W-Wait!!"
—He was fucked.
"..."
"T-This can't be!! There's no way!!!!"
Yujin's half-shut eyes opened to their limit.

Chapter 20: Unleash the Hounds (1)
"..."
A deathly silence.
The elder looked at Yujin with a very distorted expression.
"Holholhol. Yujin… just what are you doing?"
A horrifying killing intent bloomed from the frighteningly shining eyes of the elder.
"T-The, the thing is…"
His body shook as he desperately poured mana into the black drinking glass placed in the middle of the circle.
However, no matter how much he poured…
"Why… why is there no reaction…"
"…haa."
The white-haired elder, Cheon Doyoon, sighed deeply while stroking his beard.
"How much would the other Executors have mocked the owls if they saw this scene…"
"N-No! T-This is…"
"Yujin.
Flick—
He lightly flicked his finger.
Psk!!—
"Ughk!!"
A black feather shot out in the blink of an eye and grazed past his nape.
Blood flowed down his collarbone.
Yujin pressed down on his blood-dripping nape and looked towards Cheon Doyoon with eyes full of fear.
"E-Executor."
"Don't let me down any further."
"…Kugh. Yes, sir.
Chewing on his lips, he dropped his head.
"Eh, the mood has been ruined. Yujin, you may take your leave."
Tsk—
Cheon Doyoon clicked his tongue while turning his body away.
"The other Templars may also return to their post."
"Kek… kekek."
"Hohoho!"
The black-robed beings laughed mockingly while looking at Yujin.
Flutter!—
Soon, all of them disappeared.
"…Ah, ugh."
Yujin, who was left alone, clenched his fists.
"UaaaaaaaaaaaAH!!!!!!"
His outcry filled with anger rang throughout the dark mountain.
"Fuck!!! Fuck!!! Fuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!"
Tututu!! Tutututututu!!!—
Every time he convulsed, black feathers that appeared out of thin air swept the surroundings like a machine gun.
"Hugh! Hugh!"
Yujin faced the other direction with bloodshot eyes.
Step, Step—
He headed towards the insides of the observatory.
"S-Sir Yujin."
Underground, his fifty subordinates were shaking with fear behind their eyes.
"…That bastard."
An image naturally formed inside Yujin's head.
The youth with slightly droopy eyes who gave off a gentle impression.
"Where's the guy that went to kill that bastard?"
"T-That's"
"We… have lost contact."
"...."
Losing contact meant the failure of a mission.
"…find him."
"Yes?"
"I said find that son of a bitch, you useless pieces of shit!!!!"
Yujin's harsh criticism echoed throughout the basement.
* * *
One week after he returned from the dungeon in Mok-dong.
Ohjin hadn't entered any other dungeons and meekly stayed inside his home during this time.
There were two reasons.
One was obviously because he needed to hide himself from the Black Star Organization searching madly for him,
And the other was—
"Fuuu."
—to become used to his body and mana that had grown explosively after reaching the 3-Star rank.
"Ch-hat!"
On the rooftop of the rented house.
Hot sweat splattered over the shabby space filled with dark grime and mold.
Whoosh! Whoosh!—
Spearmanship flowed at a dazzling speed.
Movements in a series of stabs, cuts, and strikes naturally coursed through the air like flowing water.
"Hmpf!!"
After lightly stamping his feet, he jumped nearly 15 meters into the air and grabbed his ankles with both hands to conduct a back somersault.
It was an acrobatic movement a normal person wouldn't dare to attempt.
No, jumping in place close to 15 meters into the air was something difficult even for most Awakeners.
—Naturally.
It was nothing but a simple warmup for Ohjin, whose body had advanced another step higher after reaching 3-Star.
"Fuu."
Thud!—
Ohjin landed onto the ground with an elegant posture and looked down at his body drenched in sweat.
"Without a doubt… the stigma of Lyra is overpowered."
He had been overworking his body for 3 hours without rest from early morning until then, but although he was sweating, he didn't feel all that tired.
Even from Awakener standards, unless it was a stigma specialized in the body like Taurus, a 3-Star Awakener that could compare to him in simple physical ability most likely didn't exist.
'I can't be sure about the higher ranks, though.'
Regardless of the stigma's type, an Awakener's physical ability would improve as the star rank increased.
In cases where one possessed a physical-type stigma, their physical ability would increase much more compared to other stigmas.
'On the contrary, recovery-type stigmas like Aquarius would have small improvements on physical ability.'
To be more specific, even amongst physical-type stigmas—strength for a power type like Taurus strength, dexterity for a speed type like Scorpio—physical abilities would increase centered around their specialty.
'The reason why Lyra is overpowered is because even though it isn't a physical-type, it's still equipped with physical abilities around that level.'
The ability of the stigma of Lyra was lightning.
If you had to classify, it would not be a physical-type but a supernatural-type. Yet despite that fact, the physical abilities it held were powerful enough to slap Taurus's cheeks left and right.
Using a game as an analogy, you could say it was similar to a magician possessing a body powerful enough to smash the shit out of a warrior with their staff.
"If there was a game balance team, people would riot."
Ohjin giggled as he placed his spear against the wall.
Now that he had thoroughly trained his body, it was time to train the skills that came with his stigma.
"Skill board."
Boop—
Reacting to the low-pitched voice, a blue window appeared in front of his eyes.
[Stigma of Lyra]
⯁Possessed skills
①"Thunder & Lightning Lv3"
②"Blue Lightning Lv2"
③"Thunder Fall Lv1"
He currently possessed three skills..
'I need to prioritize training Thunder & Lightning.'
It was the conclusion he came up with after training each skill over the past week.
'The skill that's the foundation of the stigma of Lyra is Thunder & Lightning..'
In the end, Blue Lightning and Thunder Fall were just skills derived from Thunder & Lightning.
'If I level Thunder & Lightning, the other skills will naturally rise with it.'
Gently closing his eyes, he focused mana into his left chest.
Crack! Crackle!!—
Blue lightning blazed as a powerful spark erupted.
The amount of lightning increased distinctly compared to when he was ranked 2-Star.
Controlling the lightning, he compressed it into the shape of a ball.
The lightning shrank into the size of a basketball and flashed violently.
"Looking at it like this, there certainly is a big difference.'
There was the influence of his total amount of mana increasing once he was promoted to 3-Star, but more than that, the large difference came from the fact that he could use more mana at once.
'Since my mana was overflowing when I was 2-Star anyways.'
Simply taking only the total amount of mana into account, he wasn't inferior compared to 6-Star; he had as much as 7-Star Awakeners at least.
'No, I might have more.'
"…There was a time when my mana wouldn't decrease even when I tried to burn through it."
Did it only refuse to decrease? No, rather, it had increased.
He recalled the memory of when his mana explosively increased when he had fired"Blue Lightning" tens, hundreds of times in succession during combat with the mucus giant.
'Though I'm not sure why that kind of phenomenon happened…'
A few days ago, when he had set a day aside to experiment if the same phenomenon would happen again, his mana decreased as per usual.
'…Let's just keep that in mind for now."
Even if he thought about it now, It wasn't like he could figure out the cause or create the same phenomenon from back then.
"I'll just have to work on what I can right now."

Focusing the lightning flowing over his body to his fists, he performed light martial arts.
Whoosh! Whoosh!—
"Hmpf!"
Even if you called it martial arts, it was extremely clumsy, as he had never learned it professionally nor possessed a skill.
'Still, it's better than nothing.'
He was doing nothing but swinging his arms and legs in the air for now, but his skill would increase with time.
Crack! Crackle!!—
In any case, the point of the training was not for martial arts, but to get used to focusing lightning around his body.
Compared to his clumsy martial arts, he could feel his proficiency in handling lightning increase day by day.
"Ch-hat!"
For the finale, he retrieved the spear he had left by the wall and used lightning.
With blue lightning forming at its edge, the spear's blade cut sharply through the air.
"…Hm."
After he had continued training for around 30 minutes—
Tap—
—Ohjin placed the spear on the ground and furrowed his brows as if he was unsatisfied.
'Something about it just doesn't feel right.'
Tsk—
He clicked his tongue while looking down at the spear.
"This is a good weapon, but…"
Although Lee Shinhyuk's weapon was light and sharp, it interfered every time he used lightning because the spear's shaft was made out of wood.
'And only using the spear is somewhat of a shame.'
He kept on having a feeling that only using a spear wasn't enough to utilize lightning to its fullest extent.
In his last combat, he had also used nothing but his fists to fight the giant after sticking the spear into its back.
'It's not like I can become some kind of spear master from some Murim.'
The only reason he was proficient in spearmanship was because he had inherited Lee Shinhyuk's skill.
'I'll need to get new equipment soon.'
He didn't plan on getting it immediately as he was in more urgent need of raising his skill's proficiency.
"Should I head back now?"
Holding his shirt drenched in sweat over his shoulders, he went down the stairs.
"Hm?"
Going down the stairs, Ha-eun could be seen.
She was on her crutches, smoking out the open window.
"You're smoking again?"
"Bruh, it's not like I smoke that much."
"I told you to smoke inside the house, don't come outside."
"But it smells."
"Then don't smoke."
"That's impossible."
"You deranged chain smoker."
Shaking his head, he headed past her towards the stairs that lead down.
As the house was only around twenty steps away, it was a distance where she could amply go back and forth.
"Where are you going?"
"Home."
"Wait til I'm finished smoking, man."
"What kind of horrific words are you saying to a non-smoker."
"Smoke as well if you have any complaints. An Awakener's body will recover from the toxins in cigarettes on its own anyways."
"Waste of money."
"Fuck, why do I even bother," Ha-eun mumbled in a low-pitch and dropped her head.
"Hurry up." he stopped by the stairs and waited for her to finish smoking.
Sizzle—
Ha-eun fumbled around for the ashtray and rubbed the cigarette out.
"Are you finished training?"
"Yup."
"Argh, you reek of sweat. Go and wash up, you rascal."
"Hey, you're the one who held me here."
"Ah, right. Hihi! Sorry~"
'This bitch…'
"Hupf."
Ha-eun, who had clumsily reached out her hands and hugged his arms, leaned her chin on his shoulder.
"Now, hurry up and support me."
"Didn't you say that I smell?"
"Mhm. It's so goddamn bad. My nose is going to rot."
'Then why are you holding on to me.'
"…Haa."
He let out a short sigh and helped her into the house.
After laying Ha-eun down on the bed, he entered the cramped bathroom and filled a large plastic bowl with water.
Splash!—
He cooled his heated body with ice-cold water.
"Ooh, nice."
Letting out a moan like a middle-aged man that had finished a day's hard work, he scrubbed every nook and cranny with cheap soap.
Click—
Coming out after finishing the refreshing wash, he could see Ha-eun perched by the bed.
"Have you finished washing up?"
"Yup."
"Come here so I can confirm if you washed up well."
"Hey, I'm not a kid."
"Come here, you rascal," Ha-eun said as she tapped next to her seat.
He sat down next to her while smiling.
"Sniff, sniff."
Ha-eun, who had come up close, flared her nose and sniffed the smell.
Soon, the edges of her mouth perked up as if she was satisfied.
"Hehe!! So you've cleaned up properly!"
"You looked so much like a fucking pervert just now."
"So what."
Poke Poke—
While using the tip of her finger to poke his side, she pouted her lips.
"Now, turn your back this way."
"Why?"
"Just listen to me, man."
Tilting his head, Ohjin turned his body around.
Knead—
Her soft touch made contact with his shoulders.
Her hands filled with just the right amount of strength gently stimulated his back muscles.
"Huh? You're giving me a massage?"
Ohjin unconsciously burst out into laughter.
"What, you got a problem?"
"Haha! No. It's because I like it."
"Shut up, you bastard."
Different from her violent language, Ha-eun's touch that was slowly circling and stimulating his back muscles was incredibly pleasant.
"I'm dying~!"
'Mhm, It feels so good.'
"Does it feel good?"
Grunch—
Powerful pain, like his shoulders were stuck between some kind of press machine, shook him.
"I'm dying!!!"
"I'm seriously dying!!!!"
"Hehehe!! You baby, stop overreacting!"
Ha-eun broke out into laughter.
"Hey, what do you mean overreacting!"
Although she was nothing but a half-Awakener who couldn't use her stigma, as she was an Awakener that reached 7-Star in the past, the power behind her hand grip wasn't something you could laugh at.
"Huhuhu. Alright, alright. I'll do it softly."
Ha-eun giggled while massaging his back with just the right amount of strength as she had done at the start.
"It's finished."
"Thanks."
"Don't unnecessarily overdo yourself. How many hours have you been running around since dawn?"
"I'm not overdoing it."
As the stigma of Lyra was so overpowered, he didn't feel tired after continuous hours of training.
"You're talking back to me again."
Ha-eun lightly pinched his sides and carefully leaned her forehead onto his back.
"..."
An awkward silence suddenly set down.
"…Hey."
Cautiously.
A voice broke the awkward silence and rang out.
"Yeah?"
"After you became an Awakener… have you made a lot of money?"
"I made tons."
'I was lucky.'
The fact that he was the one and only apostle of Vega, received Lee Shinhyuk's memories, and that the Black Star Organization pushovers had appeared just at the right time.
He was making money at a speed incomparable to that of other Awakeners.
"…Really?"
Like chewing and swallowing grains of sand, she continued with a dry voice.
"Then I guess there aren't many days left of us being together."
As if a power switch was turned off.
A cold and stiff air spread throughout the cramped house.
"That's right."
Ohjin nodded quietly.
"There isn't much time left."
At this pace, he would soon be able to reach his goal of ten million dollars.
'And, if that happens…'
Everything would end.
Along with this everyday life that seemed like it would last eternally.
"Hihi! Did you suddenly become serious?"
Song Ha-eun giggled while smacking his back.
Smack! Smack!—
'That fucking hurt.'
Bzzzzzt!!—
At that moment, the smartphone he had placed on top of the shelf vibrated.
"What is it? Did you get a call?"
"Yeah. Give me a sec."
Looking at the smartphone, the name 'Team Leader Han Joonman' was displayed on the screen.
Click—
He opened the front door and took the call outside.
-Ah, are you available for a call?"
"Yes. I was actually going to contact you soon."
Just when he had thought of contacting them in order to sell the star stones and star relics he had ripped off of the Black Star Organization, they had contacted him instead. He could also gather more information about the Organization from them.
-That's great. I contacted you because there's something I needed to tell you.
"What is it?"
-An urgent request has come in.
A request.
The timing wasn't good, as he hadn't set any countermeasures for the Black Star Organization yet.
In the least, it was the right move to hide until Vega could materialize herself once again.
"Sorry. I'm not in a situation where I can receive a requ—"
-The remuneration is 2 million dollars.
"Woof!! Woof, woof!! Grrrr! Krah!!!"
-Excuse me?
"I'll head to the Association right away. Let's talk about the details later."

Chapter 21: Unleash the Hounds (2)
Awakener's Association HQ in Yeouido.
Passing through the Awakeners that gathered to take the registration, Ohjin entered the elevator that was open only to employees.
Knock Knock—
"Yes, come in." A deep voice could be heard after he knocked on the door of the Team Leader's office.
Click—
As he opened the door, the figure of a huge muscular man sitting by the office desk caught his eyes.
'Won't the chair break?'
Creak—
Throwing up a suppressed scream, the chair's creaks echoed once Team Leader Han's butt left it.
"Have you been well?"
"Thanks to you." While sharing a light greeting, Ohjin sat on the sofa.
Although he wanted to go straight into digging up information on the request that amounted to an insane amount of $2M, there was something he had to do before that.
"Have you perhaps heard of the Black Star Organization?"
"Black Star Organization?" Team Leader Han Joonman tilted his head and answered.
"No. I've never heard of them."
"Then… have you ever seen this stigma before?"
Taking out a piece of paper, he drew the stigma of the Owl Nebula and showed it to him.
"This is… wait a moment." Team Leader Han took out a booklet and started to flip through the pages.
Soon, he looked around the page that had stigmas drawn and narrowed his eyes.
"This stigma… is the stigma of the Owl Nebula."
"Do you know of it?"
"I don't know the details of it either, but… I'm certain that this is known as one of the 'forgotten stigmas'."
'Forgotten stigmas? What's that?'
"Its existence was recorded when the celestials first appeared on Earth 8 years ago, but we call it that because they can no longer be found."
"Was the reason for its disappearance not recorded?"
"Yes. Considering the situation back then… we weren't exactly in a situation where we could take records." Team Leader Han laughed bitterly while scratching his head.
"Ah," Ohjin let out a short exclamation, nodding his head.
Eight years ago…
When the gates leading to an external location first opened.
The time of nightmares, where numerous countries vanished and ⅔ of the world became covered in monsters.
If it was back then, being unable to take records was understandable.
'Why record when you don't know if you'll be alive the next day?'
That was a time where surviving each and every day could be called a miracle.
'Anyways, if the stigma of the Owl Nebula existed eight years ago…'
It meant that the Dark Stars' stigmas continued to exist throughout the eight years.
'Then there's a possibility that the Black Star Organization is also…'
An organization that had acted in the shadows throughout the past eight years.
'It wasn't an improvised organization.'
If they were an organization that hid in the shadows for a long period of eight years in order to achieve their goals, their scale wasn't one you could consider normal.
'The scale is becoming larger than I thought?'
Ohjin furrowed his brow.
In any case, It seemed like he hadn't poked a beehive—but a hornet's nest.
'I'll need to be extremely thorough with my preparations.'
He had a couple of methods that he had in mind, yet there weren't any that stood out to him.
"Hmm."
Ohjin turned his head towards Team Leader Han, who had been attentively looking at the paper that had the stigma of the Owl Nebula drawn.
"By the way, where did you find this stigma?"
"A dispute broke out in a dungeon a few days ago."
"A dispute?"
"Yes. I found a star relic inside the dungeon, but… an Awakener called Yujin attacked me, claiming it was his without reason."
He explained what happened the previous week with a slight bit of exaggeration.
"A-Are you hurt anywhere?"
"No, as you can see."
"Phew… that's a relief."
Team Leader Han let out a short breath of relief.
"Are you saying that the Awakener that had a dispute with you possessed the stigma of the Owl Nebula?" Team Leader Han asked.
"Yes."
"Ah, then the place known as the Black Star Organization is also…?"
"Haha. Indeed, you're quick-witted. Yes, you're correct. He said that he was a member of the 'Black Star Organization'."
"Hmm."
Ohjin slightly shrugged his shoulders and continued.
"Anyways, I was just asking to find out about their identities since I got attacked all of a sudden."
"I see… I understand. Our side will also try to investigate more about the stigma of the Owl Nebula and the Black Star Organization you mentioned earlier."
Team Leader Han nodded his head with a stiff expression.
"Thank you," Ohjin smiled while bowing his head.
If the Association was willing to investigate directly, he could expect good results.
Even if the Association was disregarded here and there, it was still the largest organization directly under the government.
If you were only taking information capabilities into account, most guilds couldn't even reach the tip of their toes.
"Would it be okay if I ask you one more thing?'
"Ah, yes. Of course."
"How much do you think this will sell for, roughly?
Ohjin took out the fist-sized starstone he received from Yujin and placed it on top of the table.
"Woah… this is quite a high quality starstone." Team Leader Han let out a short exclamation and examined the fist-sized starstone.
"Star relics will need a separate appraisal, but… this starstone alone will amount to $500K at the minimum."
'$500K!!'
He desperately restrained his lips from perking up from the mouth-opening amount of cash.
'Kya! Black Star Organization, you're the best!!'
An exhilarating thrill spread across his back.
He could earn this amount of money by using nothing but words for less than 5 minutes.
"Will the Association take care of this?"
"Of course. I'll make sure you receive more than the market price."
Team Leader Han puffed his chest while laughing in a confident manner.
As the humongous tanned man puffed his chest, the scene looked somewhat like a male gorilla boasting his strength in order to charm a female gorilla.
"The taxes…"
"Of course, there will be none."
'Huh.'
'I think I might fall for this gorilla.'

"Ah right, could you appraise this for me as well?"
He lent out the star relic the Black Star Organization had used to replace the black drinking glass.
"Is this the star relic that caused the dispute?"
"Haha, yes. That's right."
"I can't believe that you found a star relic already…" Team Leader Han exclaimed.
Finding star relics inside dungeons wasn't exactly a rare occurrence, but a beginner that had just finished their registration test getting their hands on a star relic was extremely rare.
'No, it's possible if it's Awakener Ohjin.'
Even if much time hadn't passed since he finished the registration test, to title him 'beginner'… The experienced feeling Ohjin naturally gave off was abnormal.
'His behavior is like that of someone who has rolled around in dungeons for years.'
'Although there's no way that's possible since he should have been an ordinary person before he awakened.'
Team Leader Han received the blue drinking glass Ohjin lent out.
"I'll put in a request to the appraiser connected to our side."
"Thank you," Ohjin bowed his head.
He momentarily thought about presenting the mutant's starstone as well, but he decided to hold onto it a little longer.
'It could be connected to those Black Star Organization bastards.'
There was a possibility that it could come in handy in the future.
"Now then. Is there anything else you wish to go over?"
"Yes," Ohjin nodded his head.
Hmp!—
His eyes shone, and he breathed roughly out of his nose in excitement.
'Now, it's about time for the main dish to come out.'
The main reason he ran to the Association as soon as he received contact.
"—What're the contents of the request?"
"Haha. I was just about to get into that."
Team Leader Han laughed in an easy-going manner and took a sip out of the mug filled with coffee.
"First of all, the one who requested this emergency request was the Valhalla guild."
"…Valhalla guild?"
It was a guild's name he had never heard before.
'Even so, if they can spare $2M as remuneration, that must mean that they're quite a large guild.'
Furrowing his brows, he racked his brain in an attempt to recall the name.
"It might be your first time hearing about them since they're a guild that's on the sudden rise."
"Ah, is that so?"
"Yes. As a guild that's composed of a small number of elites, they're a guild that's well-received, as each and every one of the guild members possesses great skill."
'A small number of elites…'
'I thought it would be a large guild, but they invested more into quality over quantity.'
"Moreover, their guild leader is extraordinary. It's to the point where he was picked as one of the candidates for the next generation's 'Seven Stars'."
Seven Stars.
It was a title given to the seven Awakeners that possessed the most strength and authority throughout the entire world.
As he was mentioned as one of their candidates, he wasn't your average Awakener.
"Well… I personally think that Awakener Ohjin is more amazing, though."
Shrugging his shoulders, Team Leader Han continued.
"I'm certain that Awakener Ohjin will become one of the Seven Stars' backbones in the future."
"You're expecting too much from me." Ohjin let out an easygoing laugh while shaking his head.
He was being courteous, but it wasn't like he didn't have the confidence.
If he continued to grow stronger, he would become one of them one day.
'Seven Stars…'
Even though they called them powerhouses that transcended humanity, he didn't have an exact idea of how strong they were, as he had never seen one before.
'There's also only one in Korea.'
Since six out of the seven lived overseas, it wasn't easy to hear news about them.
But that didn't mean the single Seven Star member in Korea was the type to actively partake in activities either.
"Khm. Then going back to the main subject of the request's contents… It's a type of request where you could call it hard, but at the same time, you could also call it easy."
'What's he talking about?'
"What are the contents of the request that make you come to such a conclusion?"
"…It's finding a person."
'Finding a person?'
"Is it finding a person and investigating them like a detective agency?"
'But the reward's $2M?'
'No matter how much you're overflowing with money, $2M?'
Ohjin looked towards Team Leader Han with doubt in his eyes.
Slightly shaking his head, Team Leader Han opened his mouth.
"This isn't a request for investigating someone but, as it's said, finding a person. Finding a missing person, to be exact."
"Ah."
'So it was like that.'
Finding a missing person, and amongst them, a person who had gone 'missing inside a dungeon', was something only skilled Awakeners could do.
"Who's the missing person?"
"Let's see… wait a moment." Team Leader Han looked through the request form.
"Ah, here it is." He picked up a single piece of paper from the pile of files and placed it on top of the table.
"Missing date, November 6th."
"So around two weeks have passed."
As the current date was the 22nd, two days and two weeks had passed, to be accurate.
"The place he went missing… It says that it's unknown, as his tracks were cut off starting from the early morning. They say that there's a high possibility he went into a 1~2-Star dungeon located around Incheon."
"I'll need to go around about eight places…"
There were currently a total of eight low-rank dungeons located in Incheon. He knew a lot about it, as he had been going around scamming using mainly low-rank dungeon's through the past couple of years.
'Well, eight places will be easy.'
Currently, for him who had reached 3-Star, he could finish his investigation in two, if it took a little longer, three days.
"Male. Aged around mid-twenties and 182cm tall. It also says that he has black hair and a sleek physique. Ah right, and his name… let's see. Ah, it's written here."
Team Leader Han, who was looking through the file, pointed towards a certain section.
"Lee Shinhyuk. The name of the missing person is Lee Shinhyuk."
"—What?"
'Fucking. Who?'
"How is it. Will you be able to find him?"
'No.'
'How the fuck do I find him when he's already dead.'
'I'm going crazy.'
