Solo Leveling – Chapter 8

Jin-Woo is shocked by the heavy voice coming from the corner of the hospital room, and hurriedly turns his head to look.

"I'm sorry if we surprised you."

"Unfortunately, we can't wait any longer."

Two men dressed in black business attire approach Jin-Woo's bed. The young man tilted his head and asked them.

"Who…. Did you?"

He had never seen the faces of these two people before.

One of them with his hair cut short like a soldier and wearing sunglasses gave him a business card.

"This is us."

Jin-Woo receives a business card and reads what is written on it.

"Woo Jin-Cheol, the section chief of the Monitoring Division, the Korean Hunters Association?"

The Monitoring Division was the only department within the Hunter Association with many strong Hunters on their payroll. Yes, since this department was tasked with managing the country's Hunters, so, obviously, they would employ many high-class Hunters to facilitate that goal.

"What does the Monitoring Division want from me?"

Woo Jin-Cheol drags the chair closer to the bed and sits down. Another man, who was definitely his subordinate, stood behind him.

The unspeakable pressure emanating from the two knights staring around him was quite heavy. However, the story they tell is rather surprising.

"I fainted for four days ?!"

"It just so happens, do you remember what happened before you fainted?"

"Yes, I know."

"Please tell us everything you can remember."

Jin-Woo says everything honestly, minus the strange hallucinatory words he heard before he lost consciousness.

"And that's when you lost your consciousness ... Is that all?"

"Yes. I opened my eyes next, and I was in the hospital. "

Woo Jin-Cheol and his henchmen exchange meaningful views. For some reason, they seem to be plagued by Jin-Woo's lack of knowledge.

Actually, Jin-Woo is the one who wants to find out what is going on most in this room.

“How can I get to this hospital? Did large Guilds participate and kill those things? ”

"Well, actually …."

Woo Jin-Cheol awkwardly opens his mouth.

"At the time agents from the Monitoring Division and the White Tiger Guild arrived at the scene after being briefed by the survivors …"

The White Tiger Guild was a super-massive Guild and was also one of the top five in the country. The Association had realized the danger, hence they asked the help of a large Guild like the White Tiger Guild.

What the hell is going on over there?

Jin-Woo nervously gulps dry saliva.

"At the time….?"

"…. Everything 'lost'. The only thing that can be found in that open space is you, Mr. Seong Jin-Woo. There was not a single trace of god statues nor stone statues. ”

"Come back?!"

Jin-Woo shows a face of surprise, disbelief.

“It's hard for us to trust him too. If there is any inconsistency in the testimony of the survivors, or if we fail to find the bodies of the victims in the room, we may suspect something suspicious is going on. "

Woo Jin-Cheol scratches his chin.

It had been six years since he was ranked as 'A' and started working for the Monitoring Division. He can confidently say that he has witnessed and experienced almost everything during his tenure. However, this kind of situation was a first for him.

He had asked for other Guilds as well as Associations in other countries, but the end result was nothing worth talking about.

That's why …

"So, this is what we think …."

Woo Jin-Cheol carefully opened his mouth.

"There was a powerful being in that room, without a doubt. But, they are cared for by an unknown group, or an unknown person. Because, no otherworldly being escaped the Gate before it closed, you know. ”

They must consider all possibilities. Even if the odds were low, they would have to confirm everything. The head honchos of the Association deliberated, and then deliberated for more, and finally came up with a theory.

Woo Jin-Cheol carefully studies Jin-Woo's reaction as he continues.

"We .. suspect that Hunter Seong Jin-Woo-nim may have experienced another Revival."

Another Resurrection!

Jin-Woo's eyes are wide open.

Although extremely rare, there were several examples of humans who had awakened his abilities as Hunters who were undergoing another Enlightenment.

Often referred to as 'Resurrection', those who undergo this process usually become very powerful compared to before.

Initially, after the Hunter rank was assigned at the beginning, it rarely changed. A Hunter's abilities are determined when one goes through a Awakening, which is why.

However, it was a different story for those who went through the Resurrection-Return process.

Jumping over their own limitations to go from, say, a C to A rank, or even from B to S, such things have happened before.

Woo Jin-Cheol nervously swallowed his saliva.

‘Seong Jin-Woo …. If he went through Re-Awakening and became an S rank, no, it might even exceed that, then it was possible for him to kill the monster alone. ’

The statue of the god is said to have melted the C Hunter rank with nothing but his eyes, according to the survivors.

If one could kill such a creature despite being unconscious, how powerful would one be?

To prepare for this most unlikely possibility, Woo Jin-Cheol calls this incident a 'big secret' and ensures everyone involved will keep their mouths shut.

This was also the reason why Seong Jin-Woo found himself in a hospital room alone, as well as being treated by some of the best medical practitioners in the country.

Woo Jin-Cheol's chest starts beating very fast.

"Could Korea finally have Hunters at the level of a major international power ….?"

There are less than ten people around the world who can truly be described as a global power. But, what if Korea has a powerhouse that is said to rival a nuclear warhead in terms of pure firepower?

Of course, confirming the truth of the Resurrection was not difficult at all. Didn't the wise elders ever say to make hay while the sun was still shining?

Woo Jin-Cheol gestures to his henchmen.

"Bring here."

Then, the henchmen went to a corner of the room and started looking around through the bags placed there.

"That's…?"

Before Jin-Woo can finish his question, Woo Jin-Cheol explains first.

"This is a device to measure your magic energy."

He added that, although the device has been miniaturized, its efficiency or accuracy is not far from the actual full-size device located in the Hunter Association.

"All you have to do is put your hands on this magic crystal here."

On top of a circular plate, there was a fist-sized magic crystal embedded in the middle. It was pitch-black, as if it was a black hole that wanted to suck it!

It was one of the highest quality magic crystals that cost up to a billion won, not to mention one that could only be found on A rank monsters or higher. (TL: Almost $ 900,000)

As Jin-Woo stares at the magic crystal without saying anything, Woo Jin-Cheol forms a serious expression that is dignified and speaks.

"This is an important step during our investigation, so please, cooperate with us."

Jin-Woo nodded.

If he really had experienced Re-Awakening, then his life would have done 180 in an instant. And they would test it for free, so who should he refuse?

Jin-Woo puts his hand over the black crystal and soon, a warm ray of light comes out from there.

Droplets of cold sweat form on the forehead of Woo Jin-Cheol and his henchmen.

* SFX for missing light highlights *

Not too long after, the light surrounding the crystal disappeared.

Woo Jin-Cheol hurriedly took off his sunglasses and confirmed the number.

Soon, a small earthquake shakes Woo Jin-Cheol's eyes.

"How is it possible ?!"

Advertisements

He checked the numbers again, but they remained the same.

'How can….'

When considering the fact that the lowest average value for an E – rating the bottom rank of – is around 70 to 100, Seong Jin-Woo is no different from an ordinary person.

“Is this really a Resurrection? If so, what could be my new ranking now? ”

Jin-Woo's hands are soaked by the sweat of anticipation.

Seeing the suspicious reactions of the two Monitoring Division agents, the results were definitely somewhat beyond their expectations.

Meanwhile, Woo Jin-Cheol compares the existing data in Jin-Woo to the new measurements.

Measurement The first measurement returns the value 12. Four years later, it's 10. It decreased by 2, but is still within the error limit. ’

In other words, the magic energy measuring device worked well. Instead, it is Seong Jin-Woo's magic energy that just happens to be illogical, absurd.

It is a miracle that he survived until now.

Woo Jin-Cheol quickly realizes that being here is a waste of time, so he gets up from his seat.

"Let's go."

"Yes sir."

Woo Jin-Cheol and his henchmen quickly pack up to leave.

“Uhm, excuse me. Can you tell me what it is …. "

Just as Jin-Woo is about to ask, Woo Jin-Cheol bows his head slightly.

"Thank you for your cooperation. If you remember anything else, please contact us at any time. ”

As if their back end was on fire, two male-black-black quickly left the room as soon as they put down the device.

The hospital room that felt rather small suddenly became quiet and desolate.

"…"

Jin-Woo scratches the back of his neck.

"Then, I guess it's not,"

Well, if she thought about it, other than she felt refreshed, there seemed to be no change at all to her. Even if he were to actually go through Re-Awakening, it would still be difficult for him to kill all the statues, after all.

"Perhaps, you might have a chance against them if you are the ultimate weapon, Hunter Choi Jong-In, or SS Hunter rank Goh Gun-Hui."

Of course, he speculated like this was meaningless, as he had never seen them in action before. There was always a thick veil of secrecy covering the Hunters at S rank.

They were more like clouds in the sky to him, actually.

He thought here and accidentally raised his head. And that's when he saw 'it'.

'Huh?!'

He looked up thoughtlessly, and then, saw 'words' floating in the air.

(You have some unread messages.)

***

"…?"

He closed his eyes and opened them again.

(You have some unread messages.)

Those words remained floating there without a single change. He shook his head a few times and even rubbed his eyes, but they were still there.

Jin-Woo massages his sore forehead and bows his head down.

"It's been a long time since I started hearing strange things, but now, I've even seen it too …."

Could it be that something in his head was really broken?

There is a condition called PTSD. People who experience major accidents or traumatic events usually suffer from this condition.

It had only been a few days ago since he had witnessed the death of many of his comrades, not to mention that he himself was on the verge of dying as well, so it was not strange to hear or see strange things as possible side effects.

'However….'

However, there are some things that prevent him from rejecting this.

Jin-Woo's gaze lowered to his feet – legs were cut in half by the shield of the stone statue now everything is fine and cool.

The voice he heard suddenly inside the underground temple was hidden in the depths of the double dungeon; his legs (?) which was completely healed; and now, those words were floating before his eyes.

Too many strange things happen at once.

'What if….?'

It is possible that all of these are not isolated events but related to each other. When his mind arrived here, his aching head felt a little clearer.

'OK, alright.'

Jin-Woo slowly raises his head.

As soon as the confusion in his heart subsided and he felt calmer, he became very curious about the contents of the so-called unread message. There may be answers to his questions found in those messages.

To confirm those messages, he reached out toward those words.

And his hands just passed them.

"It's not operated by touch?"

It seems like he is too used to the way smartphones work. He could think of no other way to access the message other than tapping on the icon.

While she conferred on how to access the messages, she recalled the memories from the moments before she fainted.

"Right. It happened."

Back then, he could only convey his intentions to that unknown voice by 'talking' to her.

"Just like back then, I had to form words in my head or say them out loud."

Advertisements

Thinking that this must be the case, Jin-Woo then starts muttering the possible word combinations one by one.

"Sure."

"Message."

"Confirm the message."

"Check the message."

"Racial."

"I want to read."

"I want to see."

"Hey, show me, huh ?!"

That was.

"… Just what do you want to see that bad?"

He felt a cold and probing gaze coming from the side, so he turned to look. And, seeing her younger sister in her school uniform staring at her from the half-open door slit.

"Nh … .."

Jin-Woo becomes silent.

His oppa, busy glaring at the ceiling while demanding someone to show him something – he does not know how to explain this one to him.
