The Reason the Manager Left the Hunter Guild

2 – The Day the King Disappeared

My life as a slave to the guild and my body and mind being torn apart day by day.

But… This life has changed in a way I never expected.

In a way that some might call a miracle.

In a way that some might call a curse.

However, I didn’t care how anyone judged my life.

Whether that was a blessing or a curse… The important thing was whether I was able to get what I wanted through it.

As a result, as much as I succeeded in this, I came to think that this could be called a blessing.

Although it is very likely that a god who gives blessings will see it, it will surely look rotten.

A huge world created by the breath of the gods, Aurelios Continent

In this world where various races lived under the blessing of magical power and vitality, although the word abundance was suitable, it was a world that did not fit at all with the story of peace.

A place where humans, elves, and demons continue their bloody struggle for survival.

Their war lasted for hundreds of years, and they continued to tear each other apart in a precarious balance of power.

Elves, a race blessed by God, and Asmodians, a race blessed by demons.

And the basic trend among them is to choose gods and elves, but depending on the situation, the balance continues and even the humans who are trying to survive.

Although countless people wished for peace over the course of hundreds of years of history, nevertheless, the greed of each race was endless, and at the same time, the gods and demons who supported them were also trying to expand their power in the eternal war. Has instigated an endless fight for

Then one day.

A being has appeared in this world that will put an end to this eternal war.

There has been a legend related to this since ancient times.

One day, a warrior chosen by God will appear and drive out demons and demons and save mankind..

A legend full of hope that when that time comes, this dreadful war will end and the world will be at peace.

But…

Contrary to the wishes of the humans and elves who believed in this legend.

It was not the warrior who ended the war.

Demon King…

To be precise, the strongest being with unprecedented power in the history of demons suddenly appeared one day.

A being who defeated the previous demon king and ascended to the position of a new demon king

Although his exact origins are unknown, this young demon king, known to have been blessed by the devil, has broken the balance of power in the continent, which has been in a tense balance, based on overwhelming force and formidable tactics never heard of before. Began to break.

A demon king who subdues enemies one after another with a tremendous momentum that has never existed in history.

To counter this, the elves and humans put aside their discord and formed an alliance, but…

Despite their solidarity, the demon king continued his winning streak by using various cunning tricks to divide them and destroy them from all walks of life.

After all, the warrior who was called the strongest warrior of mankind..

Even the so-called legendary warrior fell on his knees to the overwhelming power of the demon king.

Thus, the continent of Aurelios fell into the clutches of the demons.

A young demon king who perfectly ended a war that lasted for hundreds of years in just 10 years.

About the being who achieved this unprecedented achievement

Humans and elves now under the control of demons..

And the demons who became the final victors of the tribal war came to call this young demon king by the following names with the meaning of fear and respect.

Demon Sultan

In the name of Aztas, the Demon Emperor…

In that way, Aztas ascended to the throne as the reigning king who ruled the world and a great emperor who would go down in the history of the Asmodians.

However, instead of enjoying the joy of his victory, Aztas, who achieved such a great feat that no one else had accomplished, handed over his place to his predecessor’s son, and disappeared with his closest aides. Ended up

According to the story, his body and soul were dragged to hell in exchange for great power according to a contract with the devil.

Or, as much as he had fulfilled his purpose as a demon king, there was also a story that he was living in a quiet place away from the world with his colleagues while hiding from the world.

However, no matter which side was true, this one thing was clear.

After that, there was not a single person in the world who saw the demon king and his companions… And the elite warriors who followed them.

The black flames swaying in front of my eyes.

The one I met again after 20 years since I suddenly fell into this world started talking to me with a voice filled with deep joy.

– “Excellent.. I had high hopes, but I didn’t know that my wish would come true in such a short time. As the source of all darkness, I want to thank you.”—

“Okay, stop talking nonsense and keep your promise quickly. So that there is not much difference from the time I left.”

– “Of course I can listen to that much, but… Do you really want that? Think again, you are the ruler of this world. When everyone hears your name, Aztas, they tremble and bow their heads, and your body is no longer that of a weak human. If you want to, you can enjoy movies and live happily for a thousand years, ten thousand years, and aeons, but are you really going to give it up?”-

Although it is called a devil in the world, it unexpectedly speaks of it out of a heart that cares about me.

However, despite its persuasion, my will did not change.

As he said, there are many things I have accomplished in this world, and there are many precious colleagues around me.

But, nevertheless, I had to go back.

No matter how much wealth and glory I live here…

I couldn’t enjoy true happiness even for a moment when I thought of that child who would die lonely in pain, abandoned in the world without me.

The best way would be to bring the child here, but I was told that it was impossible to bring any more people from there.

In the end, all that was left was for me to go back to that child’s side.

“I will say it again. Return me to my original world To the place where that child is.. To the place where my sister Yuni is.”

-“… Ha ha.. I can’t help it. If that’s what you want…” –

A black flame that speaks in a voice filled with regret.

Immediately after concluding the story, I waited for it to return me to my original world.

But…

-“But… it seems that you won’t be the only one going into that world this time.”-

“..What? What is that…”

The words it uttered right before using the return magic

I didn’t understand for a moment what that meant.

But…

My doubts began to turn into surprise and bewilderment as I watched the magical energy flowing from the black flame wrap around me and continue behind me.

“..? What… what. Why are you guys here…”

Those who were engrossed in the conversation with the black flame were not aware of it.

There… All the dozens of comrades who had been with me during the great war so far were all gathered.

“I made it clear. He said that he would follow wherever Aztas goes.”

“You dare to leave me behind.. I’m sorry boss~『”

“Only the biological brother is the younger brother, and the stepbrother is the male? My older brother’s house is my home too!”

“The former eternal lord’s sword. The way the lord goes is the same way as mine.”

“Aztas, we, the Knights of Tintalos, have sworn undying loyalty to you. Please do not let us become lost dogs!”

“Ah…No. You… You guys know where I’m going right now… “

– “So, you worked hard during that time. We won’t see each other forever, but stay safe there.” –

“Hey! Hey! Wait for a sec! You’re the new guy.

For unexpected emergencies. I hurriedly shouted at the black flame.

A black flame that activates magic while ignoring my words.

Right after that, I started to be sucked into somewhere with a pungent flash that instantly filled my eyes.

While swearing at the last trick of that black flame, called the devil in the world,

*

The scene began to appear before my eyes as I barely managed to calm myself down.

It is a panoramic view of the city seen again 20 years after being semi-forcibly sent to the other world by a black flame..

To be precise, it was the view of Cheongju from the park near my house.

But…

“Hmm…This is that world. It is said that Aztas-sama originally lived there…”

“There is no such thing as elves and magic, it was developed by human technology..”

“As expected, there is a big difference from the outside.. It’s very interesting~ 『”

“I don’t feel the presence of other humans nearby, but… I’ll strengthen my guard for now, lord.”

“… “

At this moment, before I can even feel any emotions about the fact that I have finally returned to the world I was originally in.. To the modern Republic of Korea,

I started to recognize that I had to solve these hugely neglected ‘homework’ in front of my eyes.
