"So that's why I sent you to the past. Jin Hyunjun, you're a brave man. You can call me however you like, except God."
"No, I don't deserve such praise, Guildmaster. I volunteered because of my selfishness. I wanted to redo the things I regretted. Just call me Hyunjun, Guildmaster like you used to."
"You deserve it, I saw that everyone I asked did not want to come back to the past, except you. Those who refused to have something they did not want to lose."
"It doesn't change the fact, that I did it on my very own selfishness." Jin Hyunjun stubbornly shakes his head.
"In your past, you did not join my Guild. You entered Paradise and thought you could improve without my help. Paradise has so many opportunities and low-rankers have a chance to rank up in that place. However, the path you took was painful and full of regrets."
"Yes."
As a result of Jin Hyunjun not joining, Nova Elpida, he still improves without Kim Yo-han's help. He wanted to prove to Imchul that one's effort would be rewarded someday. He joined a certain Guild in Paradise, A guild made of different people.
In the Human Continent, there are 12 Kingdoms and 1 Empire that controls the 12 Kingdoms. The Human Continent alone is a hundred times larger than Earth. It has a population of 10 trillion Humans.
The settings or themes vary, Western Medieval, Eastern Dynasty, Desert Kingdom, etc. Modern technologies are prohibited in paradise. Once caught, expelled is the light punishment. It's a place that is in constant war.
If you think there are too many humans, then you better not count the Demons.
And, 55% of Humans are natives of Paradise. Others came from other worlds. In Human continents there are thousands of Humans that come from other worlds.
Jin Hyunjun joined a Guild that was created by various otherworlders. He met people he trusted, the people who trusted him. But the war for power in Paradise was cruel, He lost those he trusted in pursuit of power. He became strong enough to be able to protect the people he held dear. But it was too late, he lost someone.
When he reunited with his friend Imchul. He was shocked. The Imchul he knew was now someone he knew in the past. Imchul became too strong he could not reach.
He asked Imchul if he could join. Jin Hyunjun was embarrassed, he rejected his friend's goodwill in the past. Now that he saw his friend fairing well, he shamelessly wanted to use friendship to enter Kim Yo-han's guild.
But, Imchul was not despondent or felt something was amiss. He helped Jin Hyunjun enter the Guild. That was when Jin Hyunjun learned that Kim Yo-han was a God.
When he joined there were already tens of millions of people who were on the same level as him. He thought he would need to work hard to please Kim Yo-han, but his thoughts were useless. Kim Yo-han can tell if you are loyal or not, he was god after all.
The reason why Kim Yo-han sent Jin Hyunjun in the past was because of one mistake he should've never made.
Kim Yo-han told Jin Hyunjun one thing. 'Do not resurrect Park Chae-rin and my parents, Do not be hasty. Make everyone strong enough that they can compete with the gods, until then do not resurrect them. You can revive those who died but not those three.'
Kim Yo-han stroked his chin. In Paradise, The will of Heaven's restriction will loosened. Bringing his level to the limit of what Paradise could hold.
In Paradise, Immortals are roaming around the world. But these Immortals are restricted, they cannot interfere with the mundane world. However, Immortals can fight among themselves in the Immortal realm.
Immortal realms are just in the clouds above the paradise. It's a place where Immortals live.
If Kim Yo-han's level went up, he could use his Godly skills to resurrect people. He would've done it quickly without a second thought. But, now that his future self told him not to do it. It made him hesitate.
In the end, Kim Yo-han made a decision.
"Let's go back. We should not make them worry."
"Yes, Guildmaster!"
...
[00:30:34]
[It's been decided! Earthlings will be transferred to the Kingdom of Augustus. Warning to low-level awakeners, the transfer point will be in the middle of the battlefield. Currently, the Demon Kingdom, Astra has invaded the Augustus Kingdom's border with Hundreds of Millions of Demons. All below A-rank are recommended not to transfer. Please prepare, members of the same Guild will be transferred together.]
In Nova Elpida's guildhouse. Kim Yo-han and the company are looking at the notification panel. They are all fully equipped from head to toe.
Kim Hana was shaking.
"A-Are you nervous?" Yoon Yuna asked her.
"Y-Yeah, are we going to be okay?" Kim Hana asked, her voice was slightly shaky.
"Pfft hahaha, you worry too much. Yo-han said it was okay. You don't have to think too much." Hwang Myeong-suk patted the two girls on the back. She was very excited and eager to see what Paradise is.
"Isn't that right, Yo-han?"
"It's alright everyone. Nothing will happen to you." Kim Yo-han nods.
Even he reassured them. Yoon Yuna and Kim Hana were still very anxious. Kim Hana was especially scared, Kim Yo-han told her she could choose to go or not. But, she wanted to come, her will was more powerful than her anxiety.
"Does that mean our enemies are mainly A-ranks and above?" Imchul asked.
"Not really, A hundred B-ranks can fight off a single A-rank." Jin Hyunjun answered him.
"Hmm, just like a hundred good foods can relieve my hunger."
"...That's one way to put in." Jin Hyunjun smiled wryly. This friend of his is something else.
"Welp, Boss says we can do it. That means we can do it." Imchul patted his chest several times.
"If I remember correctly, you only meet Guildmaster for a week. Your trust in him is quite good, huh?"
"Now that I think of it, it is! Maybe his leadership is great that's why I trusted him?" Imchul tilted his head while thinking deeply.
"Imchul-ssi, isn't it because Yo-han made your hunger disappear?" Hwang Myeong-suk bluntly said to him.
"Ah! Hahaha, Yeah! Boss's food was so great!" Imchul stuck his palm with his fist.
"Though, what Imchul-ssi said was also correct. Yo-han's leadership was brutal but what made us trust him was that he understood us more than ourselves. He knew our weaknesses and how to overcome them. He gave us lessons about what things we should do. I followed his instructions, and the improvement was amazing. My admiration and trust for him gets stronger every day."
Hwang Myeong-suk recounted the past few days she experienced. She became honest with her feelings. She's not even showing signs of hesitation.
"Myeon-suk, you're amazing, are you not ashamed?" Imchul said.
"Hahaha, Why would I be ashamed?! It's the truth! I like Yo-han! He is handsome and strong! What woman would not like him? Right girls?" Hwang Myeong-suk shamelessly confessed. She nudged at Yoon Yuna and Kim Hana.
"E-Eh? D-D-Don't Include me!" Yoon Yuna panicked, flailing her arms. Her face was bright red as a tomato.
"Hahaha, Yuna you're too shy. You're too obvious."
"A-A-Am I?" Yoon Yuna swallowed her saliva nervously.
"Yeah. Come on don't be shy." Hwang Myeong-suk grinned.
"Myeong-suk don't tease her." Kim Hayan appeared between the two. Her face was dark and grim.
"U-Unnie? Hehe?" Hwang Myeong-suk knocks her head cutely. But she was sweating coldly.
Kim Hana's anxiety was replaced by the loud beating of her heart. Her eyes would look at Kim Yo-han, and then she would look away again if she could not take the embarrassment any longer.
"Hahaha. I remember those days." Jin Hyunjun chuckled on the side.
"Don't talk about it..." Kim Yo-han rubs his forehead. He doesn't know how his future self accepted the women. Because, after Jin Hyunjun joined the Guild, the future Kim Yo-han already had many women.
'Why did Chae-rin not stop me?' Kim Yo-han thought grumbling.
These girls were only attracted to him because of his charm. If not because of that, they would not even spare him a glance. That is what Kim Yo-han thought.
It makes him uncomfortable to use his charm to seduce girls. That's why he decided to ignore the girl's feelings for him, no matter how cruel he was.
[00:01:02]
"It's time! Everyone be ready." Kim Yo-han commanded.
[00:00:53]
"Take your weapons out."
[00:00:32]
[00:00:10]
[00:00:05]
[00:00:03]
[00:00:02]
[00:00:01]
[00:00:00]
[[Paradise] is now OPEN!]
[Speak the word [Transfer]]
"""Transfer!"""
[Would you like to enter [Paradise]?]
[Yes] [No]
"""Yes!"""
[Confriming a Guild. 7 people will be transferred together.]
Everyone's vision is distorted. The surroundings faded into a dark void. Kim Yo-han could feel countless presence in the void. But he ignores it. Those things are void beings, vicious creatures that live in the void.
But those beings will not interfere with the transportation tunnel. That's if you don't get out of the tunnel, if you do, those are very hungry creatures.
Only Kim Yo-han is still conscious of the transportation tunnel. Mortals cannot handle mental stress, so their consciousness is temporarily blacked out.
Kim Yo-han could see the end of the tunnel. The will of heaven's restriction on him loosed up. Bringing his rank to Mid-rank Immortal.
