Chapter 30: Boomer Wizard (2)
After having witnessed an incident where multiple Gates had gone out of control simultaneously, The Mapogu siblings decided to get involved in order to save the lives of the civilians caught in the tragedy. This led to the loss of a few members of the team, their friends who had been as close as family to them. The Five Siblings of Mapogu simply became the Mapogu siblings.
In that case, was it necessary for Kim Ki-Rok to ensure that they avoid that incident?
No, he couldn't do that, as it could cause a butterfly effect and lead to even greater problems.
In fact, during some of his earlier Attempts, Kim Ki-Rok had decided to ignore this incident while he was busy increasing his own strength and raising a few talented individuals.
During those Attempts, he had focused solely on preparing for the emergence of the S-Class Gates, so all of his efforts had been devoted to ensuring his own growth and fostering the growth of his colleagues.
What did he have to show for all this effort?
They turned out to be some of his worst Attempts yet.
During those times he hadn't attended to the incident, talents who would have proved useful in combating the S-Class Gates ended up dead. In the aftermath, the absence of Hunters led to a spike in crimes caused by Awakened criminals.
From then on, Kim Ki-Rok had decided that he would do his best to get involved in all similar incidents, including those in other countries. As his interventions bore fruit, he integrated this strategy into the basic framework for future Attempts.
For domestic incidents, he would allow himself to intervene directly, and for incidents that would occur overseas, with the issue of travel time, he would indirectly solve them by providing the necessary information.
Of course, it wasn't like every situation could be solved according to his plans, but it was still possible to maintain the correct flow of events in the general scheme of things.
"By the way..." Yoo Seh-Eun had been diligently gorging herself on meat like the rest of her team. She pointed at the Gate visible through the restaurant window and asked, "About the Gate over there, is it really okay to just leave it like that?"
