Requiem Of A Failed Hero



Humans, in their thousands, began to pour out of the black gate.

Are they dangerous?

Are they going to attack us?

Where are they from?

How are humans coming from gates?

Different kinds of questions ran around the crowd of hunters that were waiting to fight monsters but got humans instead. How were they supposed to raise their weapons against people that looked just like them, although their attires were very different but not too far-fetched? 

Finally, someone they recognized came out and made it to the front, it was Kaiser and Ryou. The two hunters had been reported missing after the gate in Germany closed.

Agent Jong-Su along with other agents including director Hyun Shik ran forward as fast as they could.

"Hunter Kaiser!" Director Hyun Shik showed up as he got closer to Kaiser and Ryou.

Kaiser approached him also.

"How? How is this possible? How are you coming out of the gate? Who are these people?" Even though there was a lot more question raging inside of him, Director Hyun Shik managed to ask the immediate ones.

Kaiser looked around and looked at the director, "It's a long story. But I hope you believe in the existence of other worlds. Or else this will be so hard for you to accept."

"Where is Hunter Raven?" Agent Jong-Su asked.

Kaiser looked back with a smile, "Our hero ugh, he should be coming out any moment."

Both Director Hyun Shik and Agent Jong-Su's eyes traced the same path that Kaiser's eyes followed, all of them were looked back at the entrance of the black gate.

Soon, a red-haired man supported by another red-haired came out of the gate, one was dark skinned was light-skinned. Then followed by a beautiful red eyes lady with blond hair, then a guy with a straight face and black hair, then another man with a big physique, almost looking like a lion with his red hair and beards all joined together.

A red-haired, boy in Armour and bruised face supported by other soldiers in armor too came out, and several other intimidating and fine individuals including elves of various kinds, Draear and his people too.

The crowd was endless and they were already getting tired of waiting for Raith in anticipation—just then a tall guy, covered with black blankets because his shirt had torn and his trouser was ripped and almost torn off walked out of the gate.

Raith had been caused to wake due to the noise of Antares and the others and the presence of the humans in the abyss. It was a very wrong decision to make, he scolded them about it but understood that they needed to save everyone.

As a matter of fact, he was glad they were able to make such a call on their own without him having to command them. But the presence of humans in his domain of power was very disturbing so he had to find a way to get rid of them quickly and the only option was bringing them to earth.

The abyss could easily open up a portal to South Korea and they would leave the Necropolis world as fast as possible. After opening up the gate, Raith made sure to personally see to it that everyone left.

Even though he was very tired, he still supervised the whole process and came out last.

The refreshing and gentle kiss of South Korean wind on his skin was heavenly, he paused and looked up.

"Oh, shit... I have missed this so much."

As he decided to take another step forward, his eyes got dizzy and he blacked out immediately falling—

—but into Mok Jae-Hwa's arms.

"Welcome back. Hero"

***

A few months passed and every channel of news discharge was filled with the news that has happened—people pouring out of the black gate.

And more attention was paid to the people than whatever had transpired, people's opinions quickly began to differ.

"With this many people, how is South Korea going to manage."

"Aren't they going to go into bankruptcy?"

"Shouldn't the person who brought them be responsible for them"

"Are they hunters too? Do they have power like us?"

"If they have powers does this mean that South Korea will have more numbers of hunters than any country in the entire world?"

More than the opinions of different news outlets from different countries what was more bothering was dealing with the country's government.

"Chairman Mok Jun-Seo, do you take us for a joke?! We have been requesting you for the past two months. Do something about these people and yet you have decided to do nothing!!" The prime minister yelled, spitting in the process.

"What do I do? We aren't even using the country's money to take care of these people. We have created a temporary shelter for them out of Hunter Raven's properties, this is because you insisted that Hunter Raith should take responsibility knowing fully well that he has been unconscious for the past two months."

"And what do you expect me to do uh? Chairman Mok? The people are talking, other countries are being hostile to us, especially America because they think these people will be absorbed into us."

"Aren't you being too small-minded now Prime Minister?"

"Mok Jun-Seo, I hope you still know who you are talking to." The man warned.

"Of course, my rage caused me to talk out of place. I apologize but if these people do get absorbed into us and are hunters doesn't that mean Korea will have more ratio of hunters than the rest of the world."

"And are you sure those ratios of hunters won't end up going to other countries because we don't have the resources to keep them? Is that not the reason why even Korean hunters left their country to go serve another country." The prime minister yelled at Mok Jun-Seo.

The man sighed and licked his lip, a raging habit he hadn't been able to let go of.

"Chairman Mok Jun-Seo, do something about this, or the parliament would have to deliberate on excusing you from your position"

Mok Jun-Seo frowned, "What?"

"Yes. Those are the president's words, not mine. And you know when that man is serious, he always does as he intends." The prime Minister said, giving him a nod.

"Happy belated Christmas, Mok Jun-Seo."
