Chapter 269
Civil Servant Hunter’S S-Class Resignation Log Chapter 269
Epilogue
#1
Bang.
When the gun given to Seo-ra pierced my heart, was it the wound or my heart that hurt?
Hot blood soaked my chest and dripped to the ground. Even as the life contained in blood flowed down like sand, the manager could not take his eyes off Seo-ra.
Every time the tears that wet his cheeks fell to the floor, his heart sank.
I hoped he would never cry again, but he ended up crying.
Why are the only things I can leave for my loved ones are tears?
I was heartbroken that I didn’t have the strength to wipe it away anymore.
I hope you won’t be sad for too long. May you shake off your sorrow and enjoy happiness until the end of your life, when you barely survived.
With his earnest wish, he finally put an end to hundreds of years of life.
When he opened his eyes again, he was standing in a familiar space.
Brightly pouring sunlight, a gentle breeze on your fingers, colorful flowers gently swaying in the wind, and a beautiful mansion.
The home where he lived with his family on Earth and the prison where he was imprisoned for decades.
He was standing there again.
Funnily enough, with family I can’t even remember anymore.
The ‘home’, not a prison, was as full of happy smiles as blooming flowers.
His mother, who had the same platinum hair as him, walked down the trail wearing a parasol, and his father picked a rose and gave it to her as a gift. His brother dressed up in stylish clothes and went to meet his friends…
and he, wearing a white shirt, was sitting in the shade under a large cedar tree, reading a book.
The manager looked at himself with a very unfamiliar feeling.
Her long, waist-length hair was loosely tied and hanging down her shoulders, and her body, trained in swordsmanship, was slender and not rough. The lips that read the book were drawing a pleasant smile.
The self from hundreds of years ago, with no scars, smiling easily, and without a shadow on his face…
Because he stopped growing at the age of 26, everything was strangely unfamiliar and awkward, even though his appearance was obviously not much different from now.
Would you say it feels like seeing a completely different person? Maybe that’s why I didn’t envy them enjoying quiet happiness. I didn’t even feel like I wanted to go back to those days.
Even if I have a family, Seo-ra is not there.
My heart, which had not reacted much when I saw my family, started racing when I thought of Seo-ra.
I miss her already.
He burst out laughing as he could hear his voice grumbling, asking why he died alone if he was going to miss him as soon as he died.
Is it because it reminded me of Seo-ra? I was able to laugh at the scenes that followed.
A sudden earthquake shook the world, as if shattering a peaceful time. Everyone was screaming and shouting for him to evacuate, but he was under the tree and did not move, as if he were tied up.
And a blue gate filled with misfortune appeared in front of him.
The gate pulled him, who could not move, as if there were a force of gravity. It had no effect at all on the family who realized the situation late and came running, but only he continued to pull.
In the end, he was sucked into the gate, and the gate that swallowed what he wanted disappeared.
So he fell into Bhaskar alone. On that planet, where everyone was sensitive because it was immediately after a cataclysm.
Naturally, the residents of Baskar thought he was a monster that jumped out of the gate and began chasing him. As the chase began without even knowing why, he cried and looked for his family again and again.
Even though he had a sad-looking face and it was something he had actually experienced, the manager watching was not impressed at all.
All I could think about was that there were times like that.
The terrible scenes that followed also felt like watching a boring movie.
I watched calmly as he was stabbed by a piece of ore and his entire body was reduced to rags, and I wondered if something like that had happened when he cut his long, cumbersome hair short.
How long has it been since I watched a life so barely remembered from the past? He suddenly realized.
Ah, this is punishment.
It is a punishment to remind him of his sin of killing so many people.
The punishment of knowing my sins and forcing me to remember the people I killed even after death.
I wanted a death where everything would be immersed in silence, but if this was my punishment, I would endure it quietly.
If he could pay for his sins like this, he could repeat his hundreds of years of life as many times as he wanted.
Then the sins he committed won’t hit Seo-ra.
For that, I could endure anything, even if it meant having my whole body burn in hellfire.

After the labyrinth collapsed, the Earth was engulfed in chaos in many ways.
Half of us have hope that everything can go back to the way it was before the cataclysm.
Half of the people say it can’t happen and doubt that something else will happen.
There are no problems up to this point. As time goes by, everything will become known naturally.
The problem was that among the awakened, there were quite a few who did not want to let go of the supernatural power they had once tasted.
They somehow struggled to maintain their ability to awaken.
Believing that if the gate continues to exist like a labyrinth, the abilities and systems will not disappear and will last forever, they blocked the way to prevent new gates from being attacked.
WDO tried to persuade such radical awakeners.
However, unlike the WDO, Athena’s Ali, who did not negotiate, overpowered them all and attacked the gate, causing the conflict to grow.
“No matter what they do, the entire system will disappear someday anyway. So just ignore it. “Because the lives of civilians are more important than those of crazy people like me.”
It wasn’t wrong, but if they turned into criminals with no answers, that was also a problem.
So WDO President Oliver made a video call to Seo-ra, who became the system administrator, and asked for help. However, he faced even more difficulties than Ali.
– You can just catch them all, put them in restraints, and put them in jail. Things that were of no help when conquering the labyrinth now become a hindrance. Annoying.
On the screen, Yoon Seo-ra answered sharply.
She had changed somehow since she entered and escaped the 12th floor of the labyrinth alone. It was difficult to even approach him because he was so sensitive, like an angry person.
He quietly nodded to those who were shedding tears, saying thank you for destroying the labyrinth, but he had no mercy to those who made a fuss and said they could not accept this situation.
I was never this merciless person. What on earth happened on the 12th floor of the labyrinth?
– If you’re having a hard time, can I help you? It’s not even a problem to put people like that in jail.
Oliver, who was a little worried, asked Seo-ra another question instead of answering.
“Are you okay, Seora Yoon?”
Seo-ra Yoon not only became the world’s first EX level, but also acquired the unprecedented qualification of system administrator.
However, she looked more depressed than when she was an ordinary L-class hunter and was always in the shadows.
Even when many people were absorbed in the joy that the labyrinth had disappeared, she did not smile.
The person who brought peace to the world actually had a face that had lost peace.
– …If I sometimes regret the things I’ve done, will you criticize me?
Seora Yoon, who had been silent for a long time in response to Oliver’s question, asked.
regret.
I didn’t know that what she was talking about was a strategy for conquering the labyrinth. Oliver thought for a moment and then shook his head left and right.
“How can I criticize you if you say you regret what you did? Rather, it is our fault for relying too much on Seo-ra Yoon instead of sharing the burden. sorry.”
– …I didn’t mean to get an apology. Rather, if someone other than me had gone to solve the final labyrinth… I would have regretted it even more.
I couldn’t tell what was being said, but fortunately, Yoon Seo-ra’s face looked a little more relaxed, and Oliver relaxed as well.
“Take care of yourself. “My complexion is very bad.”
– Are you talking to me?
A smile returned to the expressionless face. Of course, a smiling face is the best to see.
“sure. of course. “I am always worried about Seo-ra Yoon.”
– This is why I like the president. thank you. If you want, I will catch all the radicals and throw them in jail.
“I will take care of that.”
When Seo-ra refused to cut her, she leaned back and laughed.
She laughed for a while and then looked at Oliver with tears in her eyes from laughing so hard.
– No matter what they do, all the magical power of the universe will disappear from Earth. Don’t worry, not only the system but also the gates they are trying so hard to keep will disappear along with the magic power.
“Is that true?”
– The power that maintains the gate is horsepower. However, if you leave it alone, people’s anxiety will only increase, so we recommend that you deal with it resolutely. I, the protector of the world, am asking you a favor.
“All right. I’ll try my best.”
This is a request from Yoon Seo-ra and no one else, so how can I refuse it? Oliver nodded obediently.
– And I won’t be able to contact you for a while.
“Is something wrong?”
– I have a place to visit, but it’s a place where radio waves don’t reach. The system is available, so if anything happens, please contact us through the community.
“Where on earth are you going…”
Yun Seo-ra answered Oliver’s curious question with a bright smile.
– The afterlife.
“…yes?”
– I have something to negotiate with King Yeomna.
I don’t know how long it will take.
Seeing Yoon Seo-ra casually spitting back words, Oliver foolishly asked, ‘Huh? I just repeated, ‘Okay?’
“The underworld. “You’re going to hell?”
– Hell and the afterlife are different. It’s not a place where sinners go, it’s just a place where the dead go.
Isn’t that what it is?
Oliver seriously wondered whether he should catch Seo-ra Yoon or not. But she waved her hand as if there was no need for that.
– Then I’ll come back. Don’t worry, I’ll contact you when I get back.
“No, hey…”
– I’m leaving tomorrow, so that’s what you know.
Yoon Seo-ra said that she would hang up first because she had a lot to prepare, and ended the call as a final goodbye.
Oliver, left alone, was truly embarrassed.
“Why on earth is he going to hell…?”
I guess it won’t work. I will have to ask Archangel Michael to protect her from going to hell.
Oliver, who did not know that the place where Yoon Seo-ra was going had nothing to do with Michael, hurriedly called out to Michael.
It was only later that he learned the truth.
* * *
The stigmata ‘the soul held by the King’ that Jeong Ho-yeong left as a gift to Yoon Seo-ra just before his death.
When Yoon Seo-ra realized that either the manager or herself had to die, she instinctively remembered it.
To activate it, she had to kill the manager, which caused heartbreaking pain.
When the manager died, Seo-ra immediately activated the stigmata and guided his soul to the underworld where King Yeomra was, instead of going somewhere else.
The body from which the soul escaped was completely frozen with spatial abilities so that it could be awakened again with the soul intact.
If you succeed in negotiating with King Yeomra and bring his soul back safely, you will be able to spend eternity with him as you wish.
“I’ll probably beat you up before that.”
Are you asking me to kill you without hesitation? And without even mentioning stigmata.
So I couldn’t forgive any more. Just before leaving for the afterlife, Seo-ra quietly clenched her fists.
“Seora, are you ready?”
At that time, Seong Ja-rim, who had come to see her off, approached her.
Now they were standing on a deserted beach to avoid people’s eyes. If you open the Gate of the Underworld in the middle of the city, it will be very noticeable.
“…are you really going?”
Kang Se-jun, who appeared with Seong Ja-rim, looked like he was not happy about Seo-ra going to the underworld alone.
