Chapter 290
Late at night, Cheol-Soo sat alone in the office, turning up the volume on the TV. The news anchor was reporting the most current publicly available information about the Deep Realm.
⌜Amid the swirling speculations about the Deep Realm...⌟
The Core, and especially the Deep Realm, was a world completely out of reach for ordinary people. The broadcast described the Core as a place far more dangerous than S-rank Great Fissures, and the Deep Realm, known as its edge, was said to be a realm no human could dare to invade. Cheol-Soo couldn’t agree more.
“Whatever. I’ll just do my job,” he grumbled to himself.
He began reviewing various documents submitted by his staff: updates on a newly discovered E-rank Fissure in Seocho-gu, mana injection results for contracted Hunters, and requests for office supplies. Compared to the events being reported on the news, they were incredibly trivial matters.
Just as the clock pointed at 9 PM, the office’s automatic door suddenly opened.
“Hm?” Thinking it might be one of his employees, Cheol-Soo glanced over the partition toward the entrance. Instead, he saw a small creature waddling in.
With a wide grin, Cheol-Soo greeted, “Oh, Yong-Yong! What are you doing here?”
Yong-Yong hopped onto Do-Jun’s desk, retrieving a notebook labeled Great Job Stampbook.
“I left this the other day, so I came to get it.”
“Did you come with Do-Jun?”
“Nope.”
