353 Kitchen Garden and Greenhouse (3) Human emotions cannot be so easily divided, as if slicing a radish. It’s the same with Kang Taewoo. Every time I look at that child, I’m filled with complicated feelings. Though, under protective measures, we’ve become something like family, it’s not quite right to call us real family. But to say we’re not family at all—that’s not true, either. It’s just complicated. It’s hard to define. Of course, I know he’s not the kind of kid I…

553 (Hunter Academy Side Story 20) A Father’s Heart_1 The day he heard the news that the Jirisan fairy dungeon had closed— Hong Seok-young felt relief. Sometimes in life, it’s better not to know certain things. Sometimes, not digging any deeper is the wiser way to live. For Hong Seok-young, this little scrap of paper fell into that category. “You found this?” “Yup.” “…Did anyone else? Does the Association know?” “Nope.” Han Tae-kyung answered in his usual…

435 Aptitude (3) A good mage. I watched Kim Chaemin closely, trying to discern what she meant by those words. The “good mages” I knew, by the standards of ordinary people, were often those whose personalities could be called questionable. Think about it. Who is it that bestows the title of “good mage”? Let’s suppose a civilian is talking about mages. From a civilian’s perspective, it’s hard to know how a mage truly operates. Naturally, their evaluation of mages is based on…

499 Pursuit (3) Let’s turn back time a little. This happened when Woo Heejae and Kim Chaemin briefly returned to Korea to check on the runes. To be precise, after confirming the achievements of two apprentice mages and experimenting with the runes. They were supposed to head straight back to America, but it wasn’t as if there was no time at all to stop by home. Who knew how long they’d be in the US this time? Kim Chaemin herself had been living independently for ages, and her other family…

335 Smuggling Reports: 125(3) “All right.” Hong Seok-young looked down at the child standing before him, whose face was sullen and posture rebellious. The boy had been standing like that for some time, clearly dissatisfied about something. If it had been in the past, he would have mistaken that attitude for a fit of irritation. No, he most certainly would have misunderstood. But now, Hong Seok-young was familiar enough to read the boy’s embarrassment at a glance. If he truly had a…

537 (Hunter Academy Side Story 4) A New Face_1 Woo Hee-jae was nervous. Lee Mi-seon found this fact somewhat amusing. “Are you worried?” Woo Hee-jae turned to look at Lee Mi-seon a beat too late. There was something on his face that didn’t quite sit right with him, but it wasn’t a particularly grave expression. “Why? She’s a good kid.” Lee Mi-seon spoke with a hint of laughter in her voice. “I met her once after her admission was decided. She doesn’t take being a…

405 Admission Review (3) Present. “I-I’m sorry….” Eva Robinson stammered out an apology in Korean. The Korean she had hurriedly learned in such a short time was limited. Hello. Thank you. I’m sorry. She wasn’t a tourist, for heaven’s sake…. I let out a sigh. “I, I’m, uh, afraid of d-dinosaurs… is that right?” She quickly switched back to French. Seeing her trembling so badly, whatever I’d been about to say fizzled out. If she’d said she had a fear of…

536 (Hunter Academy Side Story 3) Cafeteria_2 …… …… …… Ji Yu-geon felt an unspoken pressure. He couldn’t say he hadn’t thought about transferring jobs. But he’d never actually said it out loud, so why did he now feel like a job applicant sitting for an interview? He’d never even been to an interview before. Come to think of it, neither the Academy nor Guild Mimi were particularly great jobs… Still, anywhere would be better than cleaning up after the…

514 The Magician’s Child (4) The sensation is glass. Very thin glass. Yet the force required to shatter that delicate glass is far from normal. On his third attempt, Hong Seok-young succeeded in breaking Michelle’s magic—not because he lacked strength, but because he wanted to measure and provoke the desired reaction. Michelle’s miniature suns would burst on their own whenever they neared Hong Seok-young. There was a small explosion, but that wasn’t really the main point. Inside the…

266 Tati (5) Nothing in this world ever goes exactly as you wish. Of course, there are days in life when everything seems to go right. Days when, for some reason, everything just falls into place. Days when even the water you drink in the morning tastes unusually good. Days when every traffic light on your way to work turns green just as you approach… days like that. But most of life isn’t so lucky. If people could live doing only what they wanted, the world would have met its end much…

453 Fragment Collection (5) Wu Yirouk did not remember Luise Kruger. “But still.” Instead, he left a subtle hint. “I’m not sure, but he said there was someone who looked similar among the people he had a huge fight with. He didn’t get a good look at her face, but he remembered her because she was one of the rare female guests.” “Hmmm.” “Don’t you remember?” “I’m not sure. It’s not like there was only one or two people she fought with before she…

452 Fragment Collection (4) ‘Huh? I told you, I don’t know. I’ve never seen her. Didn’t I say so last time? If you were Noah, do you think you’d show me your subordinates?’ ‘I wouldn’t.’ ‘If you answer that fast, what does that make me?’ There was no reason to expect his opinion to change at this point, but Alex Hope, with a sensibility incomprehensible to any normal person, remained brazenly confident. Not that I ever expected anything from him anyway. Hope was…

431 The Mist of Mont Saint-Michel (4) “Another interview request came in.” At the sound of the front door opening, Woo Heejae spoke up without lifting his body from where he sprawled across the sofa. At this hour, there was only one person who could be coming home. Besides, with that ominous aura flaring up outside the door, how could anyone not know? It was a good thing they’d moved from an apartment to a detached house back in middle school. If they still lived in the city, it would have…

274 Coin (1) “Who even uses coins these days?” “What are you talking about! People still use them all the time!” “Everyone just uses cards now. You give me my allowance on a card, too.” “What? You get your allowance on a card?” Hong Seok-young stared at me, genuinely shocked. “On a card? What kind of allowance is that! There’s no fun in getting your allowance on a card!” “Getting an allowance isn’t supposed to be fun, you know.” Hong Seok-young grumbled,…

413 Butterflies of Memory (3) The best-case scenario, of course, was for the gate to be clear. That was why we’d chosen such an extreme measure as burning down the forest. If you can avoid a fight, isn’t that always best? If the butterflies retreated from the fire, nothing could be better. It didn’t have to be completely clear. Just a small gap to slip through the gate—that was enough. Of course, we’d considered the worst-case scenario as well. Not that it was anything…

558 (Extra Story 25) Choice_1 The sweltering summer had come to an end. Just as the pleasantly cool breeze began to carry a chill, and the morning and evening air started to feel sharply cold. After discovering the business card, Han Taekyung and Alex had been busily traveling back and forth between the U.S. and Korea. They seemed to stay in Korea for a while, but then left for America once again. This time, no one knew when they would return. ‘You mustn’t cry just because I’m gone,…

308 Hunt (1) ‘Now then, let’s review what you’ve learned so far.’ ‘…What are you doing?’ ‘I said, let’s review. Or rather, let’s check how far you’ve gotten?’ Woo Hee-jae wore the exact same expression as Woo I-rok did when told it was past his bedtime and he should go to sleep. Whether he realized that Hong Seok-yeong was deliberately provoking him just to see that look or not, Woo Hee-jae protested in disgust. ‘What’s the point of that?’ ‘What do you…

561 (Extra Story 28) The Hunt Begins Han Taekyung sometimes thought about it. When Hong Seokyoung first asked if he had any plans to return to Korea, offering him a new job, he’d never imagined he’d end up with this kind of work. It wasn’t… that it wasn’t fun. In fact, it was almost too much fun, and sometimes he wondered if it was really all right to enjoy it this much. As for Alex Hope, since this was something he’d wanted himself, Hong Seokyoung hadn’t worried much about him.…

309 Hunt (2) “Urgh… kuh, kuhak!” “This is quite a peculiar magic.” Hong Seok-young tilted his head from side to side. The magic was dark. Not in the sense of some ominous aura—no, it was physically dark. Seok-young looked up again at the dungeon’s sky, now shrouded in black. It seemed as though something like ink was blotting it out… He raised his left hand. As he lifted it to eye level, a scrawny man was dragged up along with it. Brittle brown hair, pallid skin… The man…

511 The Magician’s Child (1) At some point, Hong Seok-young found himself in a position of responsibility. He was good at fighting, but he was no leader. Hong Seok-young disliked taking orders, but he hated giving them even more. Unfortunately, Hong Seok-young was very good at fighting. Not just good—he survived while others died. And when everyone else was dead and he was the only one left standing, he realized that, like it or not, he would be the one who had to explain what had…
