Requiem Of A Failed Hero

"Hyungnim?"

Min-ho first sounded unsure and staggered forward as he hang up the phone and tried to confirm who this person was.

The hospital patient scrub he was seen wearing was still on him, the difference is that blood had stained it, and it had torn in several places. Moreso, Raith had completely passed out with a face full of dirt.

"What in the world is happening? It is hyungnim, but why is hyungnim coming out of a gate?"

He suddenly picked up his phone again, "Shit shit, I need to get help. I can't take him to the hospital because he is now wanted by the government... I should..."

Min-ho scrolled his phone for someone to call and suddenly stopped on Agent Jong-Su.

This was the only person that would probably be able to help right now. So, he called immediately.

"Hello, Doctor Min-ho."

"Hyungnim! He's back! He fainted! He's here! He came out of a gate!!" He rushed the information on agent Jong-Su.

"Hey hey, Doctor Min-ho, please calm down. Let me get this straight. Hunter Raith, came out of a gate, like the first time..."

"Yes!"

"Is he with you now?"

"Yes!!"

"Please do not let anyone in until we arrive" Agent Jong-Su demanded and immediately ran to the chairman's office.

"Thank you human for helping me," Absalom said to the man in front of him as he was given his possessions by the jail officer and they both walked out.

His stand was unique and he stood out with his chiseled features and piercing eyes, his gaze was so intense that it would make anyone want to shit their pants.

His facial features were rugged and handsome, with a sharp jawline that made his face seem almost angular. His eyes were a deep brown, intense and penetrating like he was seeing right through him, especially now that Absalom was at his mercy because of his lousy actions.

His hair was a glossy black, neatly styled, and framing his face in a way that made him look even more striking.

"Uhm... human. Can I visit somewhere for a short while" Absalom carefully asked.

The Absalom carefully asked!

He definitely had to be a big shot.

He exhaled as he came to a stop outside the gate and put his hands in his pocket, then tilted his head at Absalom, "Don't you dare think I'm letting you one second out of my sight. We are going back to Japan."

"Hey, ah, Human see, I know that I committed a grave mistake without thinking of the good of the nation. But there was no way that I would have known that bastard had gotten so strong. And I had nothing to do with that powerful human... what is his name again..?" Absalom averted his gaze as he tried to remember the name he kept seeing on the TV news feed.

"Turner." The hunter helped him.

"Ah, yes. Turner."

"How odd, this is the first time I have seen you address someone by his name, it is always human or cockroach. I guess even you can't help but acknowledge his strength."

Absalom was silent, he hadn't really thought of it until now. But the hunter was right, he respected Turner a lot but the person he respected the most right now was not Turner.

"I need to make a stop, I am sorry," Absalom said and immediately darted off.

"Haaaaaa! Damn you!!" He shouted and ran after Absalom, leaving the car that they were both supposed to take.

Raith slowly lifted his upper body.

'...Ah, fuck the abyss... what the fuck were those monsters.' He lamented internally as he held his head together.

There was one thing that this experience thought him.

'I don't know that abyss at all.'

After a while with the abyss, he had at least thought that he was getting familiar with the abyss until it suddenly brought him to a land that is filled with different kinds of monsters, a desolate land where nothing could ever grow, not with the ravaging hunger of the monsters there... they even killed themselves to survive.

And in his short time of being there, he had to hunt a thousand of those things.

"...I died a lot... level 73" He mumbled as he looked at his level. Although the fact that he did not have a sword was another reason why he had to die so much. And his dark soldiers could not stand a chance against these monsters. No matter how many times he brought them back, the result was the same and it just seemed like he was wasting his energy.

Only Fenrir could stand a chance, which was why he created another dark soldier with the ego from the prison moments before he fought with Fenrir.

And this dark soldier exceeded his expectations. He was strong.

Min-ho suddenly came to the living room and paused as he saw Raith awakened, in his hands was a napkin and bowl of water.

Raith looked at his body and found out that he was sparkling clean, although the floor was stained instead. The floor...

"Min-ho, why didn't you put me on the bed?" Raith asked.

"Ha ha, what do you mean hyungnim, it's a white sofa..." Min-ho responded, chuckling sheepishly.

'This bastard...'

Knock! Knock!!

Raith's left eye immediately let out a subtle red glow.

"Hmm, looks like he is around for real." The Association Chairman mentioned, standing behind Agent Jong-Su who was shaking even as he knocked.

To have the association chairman himself come together with him all because of Raith. This was a big deal that could even land him a promotion.

"Agent Jong-Su you are here..." Min-ho said as he opened the door. His eyes belatedly rose to the tall figure of the person behind Agent Jong-Su.

"What... the... fuck?!!"
