Episode 64. Two Years
“Thank you so much, thank you….”
The old man cried as he thanked the man. The man was smiling kindly, holding the old man’s wrinkled hands. A bushy beard with curly hair. His appearance reminded people of a religious figure.
Some people laughed at him, saying he had chosen a ridiculous style. But now that two years had passed, no one doubted his ability.
“Take care of your health from now on. Your son said you used to enjoy drinking and smoking. Although you are cured, the illness may relapse if you use harmful substances.”
“Yes, yes, of course! I won’t touch them from now on. I won’t waste any of my new life on that!”
“I hope your resolution lasts for a long time.”
The old man didn’t stop crying. It felt like he had regained his youth. He used to have difficulty walking, but now he even felt like he could do a handstand if asked to. His blurry sight became clear, and the sounds that were muddled from his old age were now distinct.
“Thank you. Thank you so much. I’ll do whatever I can, whatever I can to repay you.”
Some laughed at him for pretending to be a representative of God. But right now, no one could doubt that he was God-sent.
“You can repay me by staying healthy from now on.”
Said the man with a gentle smile. His hand was placed on the old man’s wrinkled forehead. It felt as if a light was shining upon the man. After many good words, the man left the hospital room, and the old man’s son and old wife came into the room.
“Oh, my God, Father. Father….”
It was a touching family reunion. The old man had once been called a chaebol, living a life blinded by greed. But after he fell ill, he realized that his health and family were the most important things in his life. The old man awkwardly took out his cell phone and slowly typed.
-Thank you so much, Mr. Jeong Si-woo. Please ask me if you need anything. I’ll help you with anything as long as it’s in my power.

“Thanks to you, Mr. Zhang Wei, we added one more person today.”
“You mean that another person who should have died survived?”
“No, we added another idiot we can use.”
“…….”
Zhang Wei looked dazed for a moment.
“Now we’ll have even more funds since one of the most prominent chaebols in Korea has joined the Zhang Wei religion.”
“What do you mean by Zhang Wei religion? I don’t remember making anything like that. And I didn’t even sign up.”
I laughed quietly. It had only been two years since he actively started to cure people, but he already had a massive following.
A person who saves lives in this messed up world just by existing. His Jesus-like appearance. These two factors were enough for him to become a savior.
“Yeah, yeah. Go ahead and pretend you don’t know.”
“No, I really don’t.”
“Then just watch this. We’re going to support an attack, and we have to know about the monsters.”
I handed over the materials I had prepared in advance to Zhang Wei.
He sulkily received it and soon began to focus on the document. After glancing at Zhang Wei, who had started to concentrate, I took out my cell phone and logged onto the Internet.
[Jeong Si-woo, a rising 18-year-old star.]
[The Association is “considering Jeong Si-woo as a candidate for a 1st class hunter promotion….”]
[Will the 18-year-old be able to take responsibility for the front line of Korea?]
The Internet was buzzing with my name. It was thanks to what I accomplished over the past two years. I managed to accumulate a degree of wealth based on my knowledge of the future, and I improved the abilities of hunters and guilds by distributing my analysis data. I didn’t stop there. I also personally destroyed Dungeons and Rifts that would have caused great damage to civilians.
My heroics were widespread throughout the world, and it was safe to say that nearly everyone knew my face and name.
-Si-woo, I’m graduating today! I heard that you’re going on a raid, so I guess we won’t be able to see each other. ㅠ.ㅠ
Hm. I looked at my cell phone and rubbed my chin.
“Can you go a little faster, sir?”
“What?”
“It looks like I have to rush off after the raid.”
“Okay.”
I couldn’t miss her graduation ceremony. After all, she would become our reliable supporter. I didn’t want to see Yoo Ji-yeon, who had next to no friends, graduate alone.
“Is it because of Yoo Ji-yeon’s graduation ceremony?”
“Yes. Why, do you find it funny that I’m trying to finish up the raid quickly just because of a graduation ceremony?”
“No, I was going to come with you once we’re done.”
Vrooom – The car started to go faster. I looked outside the car window and pulled up my status.

I couldn’t properly read all the notification windows that popped up.
Two years. These were the results of my two years of training and development. I tried to read them one by one, but the endless transparent windows discouraged me, and I turned away. It felt like I would get sick while reading them.
“Oh, right. I mastered the shield yesterday. When will I be able to track the Martial God, Mr. Traveler?”
[You must separately learn how to manipulate Ki, mustn’t you? You can’t track him right now. Slow down, slow down.]
“Ugh, okay.”
Yeah. What could go wrong if I just continued like this? I prepared to get up as I saw the Rift getting closer.
* * *
Splish!
“Ahhhrgh!”
“Oh, you idiot! Tanker, hurry up and cover the other side!”
“We don’t have enough over here either!”
“What? Then you’re just going to let people die? Because you don’t have enough hunters? Cover the other side right now! We’ll clear up this area and send backup! Just hang in for five minutes; no, three minutes. The Association sent A-class supporters, so it’ll be over soon!”
