My Range is One Million

Chapter 88: Friend Dongchul

Jaehwang got up from his bed and he still felt half asleep. He wasn’t hurt or anything but his entire body felt weak.

He then looked around with a surprised expression. He found himself in a room inside of Gwanjae’s mansion.

He looked out the window and saw a white flurry of snow flying through the air. The blaze of the sun didn’t look so dull like the one he had in the Alousu.

“Looks like I’m back.”

He then remembered about what happened with the Oaks at Justin point and how he returned back to earth.

“It was because of that explosion.”

He remembered being covered by a giant explosion during his fight it the oaks. It was insanely strong and it had affected everything. The spirit shouted something during all of that chaos but Jaehwang forgot what it was.

Now, he had woken up in this place and it was also strangely quiet.

-Spirit?

Usually, when he wakes up, the spirit would have said something by then but it was completely quiet. He started to get worried.

“Spirit! Where are you?!” Jaehwang yelled. The spirit had been by his side for the past few years and he couldn’t imagine being without her. They had a lot of fights but as they spent more time together, she became a part of Jaehwang’s life. It felt like he would miss a part of himself if she were to be gone.

-Ah... Keep it down. I was just sleeping.

The spirit replied with a tired tone.

“Phew...” Jaehwang sighed. For a moment he thought that she had disappeared.

-What do you need me for?

-Just worry about it later... I’m too tired to talk right now.

-Okay.

Jaehwang then kept quiet.

-How’s the energy refill?

-Already done, I can use most of my energy now.

-Great.

-Go back to sleep, you could die if you don’t get enough rest.

The spirit said. Jaehwang was still recovering from the panic he was feeling before. Looks like he couldn’t ask her about what happened at the end of their fight with the oak army. Maybe they succeeded and he was in the mansion for no reason.

It didn’t seem like they were having much success with the fight. Jaehwang was deep in thought and the door to the room suddenly opened.

“Rumi.”

The person who opened the door was Rumi, one of Gwanjae’s loyal servants. She was wearing spotless white clothes and her makeup was very light but flawless, her hair was also neatly tied up into a ponytail.

She already knew what he was thinking so she nodded her head before asking, “Are you feeling okay, are you hurt?”

“I’m okay.”

“That’s a relief. You were in a very bad condition when they found you, Gwanjae was very upset and angry about it too so we brought you here to rest.”

“I see. I’m sorry... ” Jaehwang gave her a polite bow.

Jaehwang apologized for the inconvenience since he knew that Gwanjae wasn’t easy to cooperate with when he’s angry. Even if he was fine now, he wouldn’t simply feel better.

“It was only a mission.” Jaehwang looked over towards the window of the room with a bitter smile.

“What should we do...There’s still a lot left to do.”

Rumi shook her head and agreed with him. She then walked into the room towards the table and Jaehwang followed along. They talked for some time. She mentioned that Jaehwang had been there resting for a total of three days.

“Seems like things were crazy,” Jaehwang said.

“Yeah. Samjeon church members and the Oaks were really destroying Justin point and the dimension gate was shutting down.

“Samjeon church...”

The light was then shed onto the whole story. Jaehwang passed out because of an explosion caused by the church followers. He wasn’t sure what kind of explosives could have been used but it caused the military buses to crash.

Jewhwang wasn’t sure how but they seemed to have successfully aimed for the base of Justin point before the explosion. The base was very well made but it has been around for too long and sustained so much damage during the attack. They were able to succeed with a plan full of hatred. It would take a lot to repair Justin point and get it back to the way it used to be.

He then suddenly thought about what happened at the giant footprint. Joonghwi also talked about them having a spy who worked for the enemy.

“Do you know if anyone survived? Or who escaped? Especially from soldiers.” Jaehwang asked.

“There could be some but they are nowhere to be found at the moment.”

Jaehwang was speechless. It was a disappearance and not a sacrifice. It must have been difficult for all those soldiers.

“I see.” He was then buried in his thoughts.

“But, with the soldier’s sacrifices, the secrets of that hunter base were kept safe.” Rumi replied.

“The hunters didn’t sacrifice that many.”

“I see. So they operated the emergency escape on their own, right?”

“Ah, DalJeon was also there during the fight,” Jaehwang said and Rumi nodded her head in reply.

“Ah, so he’s the one who brought you to safety. He’s in great condition. He was fully healed and he could tell us exactly what happened.”

“He... helped me?”

“Yes. When he saw that you were in a terrible condition he helped you evacuate the scene.”

He was Jaehwang’s savior. If it wasn’t for him then he could have died.

“Do you know how I could contact him?”

“You could talk to him tomorrow,” Rumi answered.

“Thanks.” Jaehwang became buried in his thoughts once again as he thought about how it all happened.

The Oaks could possibly have dominated Justin point.

But that wasn’t a simple problem. The real problem was that they would have to take the chance to suggest a new Korean hunter system raid paradigm and change everything completely about the worldwide monster guidelines.

Humans and all other species would have to come together. They would also have to collect the information of the Samjeon Church Bileons all over again from the beginning.

There was something Rumi said that caught Jaehwang’s attention the most. “And... Your friend woke up a few days ago.”

“Ah...” Jaehwang’s eyes then opened in surprise hearing that his friend had woken up.

“He’s in a much better condition than he was when you first bought him here. It’s just that...”

“Just what?”

“I don’t know why but, he still hasn’t spoken a word.”

“I understand. I have to see him right now. Ah... my grandfather...”

“Gwanjae is currently in a conference related to this situation.”

“Okay.”

He wanted to see his grandfather first but he was busy so he decided to visit Dongchul first which was okay for him as well. Jaehwang and Rumi then arrived in Dongchul’s hospitalization treatment center inside the mansion. They opened the door and there was a guy sitting and staring out of the window. He turned his head to the door as soon as it opened, he was surprised at what he saw.

He still had his visible muscles but he was so pale as if he hadn’t seen the sun in days, his face also looked unkempt as it was full of facial hair.

“W-who are you?”

“I don’t think he has speech-impairment.” Jaehwang carefully and slowly walked to Dongchul. Rumi then nodded her head and left, leaving just the two of them in the room. Dongchul didn’t remember him at all. He just stared and him with a confused look.

“Are you the one who helped me?”

“Yes.”

“How?”

“It’s a bit of a long story, it’s not important right now.”

“Oh, okay.”

“How are you feeling?”

“....” Dongchul just lowered his head without a word.

“Do you remember everything that happened?”

He then slightly moved his head. At that moment, Jaehwang suddenly moved.

Pang

Jaehwang punched Dongchul in his face. Dongchul then rolled off of the bed and onto the floor.

“Are you out of your mind, what was that!?” Dongchul shouted.

“You don’t have a speech impairment. Even your reaction now was just normal.” Jaehwang then attacked him again with a body slam.

Dongchul was unable to dodge or fight back so he just stood there in pain. Any normal person in that position would most likely be handicapped.

“My injuries are reacting normally too...” Jaehwang mumbled.

“Cut it out!” Dongchul coughed and shouted, “I said stop it.”

Jaehwang then stopped and dusted off his hands after he stood up. Sometimes the typhoon will rage through and create chaos.

“Ha...Idiot.” Dongchul mumbled to himself with an angry look on his face and he got up and sat on his bed.

“My mind and body his all healed an instant. Why did you do that?”

“What do you mean?”

“Whatever, you idiot,” Dongchul replied with a smile on his face. Rumi came back into the room to check and see what all the noise was.

“Everything’s fine,” Jaehwang said and Rumi left again. Jaehwang then sat in a chair next to the bed and said, “Tell me everything. From the beginning to the end...”

Jaehwang demanded. Dongchul was silent for a little but he soon started to speak.

“Are you strong?”

“?”

Dongchul asked out of the blue. He had already proven his strength for so many times. He stared at Jaehwang as if he knew something but he just scratched his head in confusion.

Things between them clearly weren’t like it used to be, Jaehwang didn’t even hesitate to attack him. He didn’t even seem bothered by it. That was the side of Jaehwang that he didn’t show to others.

“I need to think about it for a little.”

“I won’t interrupt, think about it and then tell me everything,” Jaehwang said as he kept him in his eyes. He wanted to know how he became a part of the church. He couldn’t have ever been able to kill him.

“I know, I know. I.... I don’t know. However, I can tell you the details from when I trained and became a Gagseog.” Dongchul then started to talk.

He said that he received a high rank after his training and transformation. He became one of the best hunters. The only problem that he had was the skills he received which were [Superhuman strength-Special skill] and [Recovery skill-Real skill].

They were really good and powerful passive skills as expected from their high rank but he was having side effects because of it.

However, Dongchul was hiding that fact. The reason was simple, It was because he originally went into the army without knowing anything in advance. Therefore, the conspicuousness was not revealed. After that, he was able to smoothly enter into the army missions. His ordinary life was then swept away.

The problem was his temper. Getting a hold of him was like trying to catch a mouse. In the beginning, it was a bit much but the skill’s impact was unexpected strong. He would joke around with his skills. He didn’t mention anything about having a platoon. He did mention that he would join in on tormenting others for information.

Things were difficult for a while and he said that he didn’t intentionally join in on tormenting others. He also said that hunting down a monster was more difficult and dangerous than he had expected.

Many people died in that place everyday and in that place, he was able to use the skills that he had received.

But he still had a hard time with the fact that his coworkers were always dying. He couldn’t deny the fact that he was getting stronger and stronger in that place. He learned how to control the skills he had and after one year, he became an expert and earned number one rank. He was even nominated for a higher position.

“You were apart of the Daehyeon group?”

“Yes. Someone in the Daehyeon group scouted me and offered me a chance.”

“Were you possibly affiliated with the army?”

“Yes and at the same time, I also received a task and I got support from other members.”

He mentioned that he was put in charge of a mission. The missile on the South side was from a group that he was a part of.

“And... because there was a really good chance that no one would never know about what went on there, they didn’t tell a lot of people about it. However, A group of special investigators apart of the Daehyeon group soon found out about it.

“...” Dongchul took a sip of water in a dented metal cup.

Friend Dongchul, The end.
