It was a coincidence that I thought of Kim Woo-jin.

There was no other character who spoke like Kim Woo-jin in the novel, and the guy's ability came to mind when I felt someone following me from a certain distance.

After waking up in Han Yi-gyeol's body, the only time I met Kim Woo-jin was when I went to see Cheon Sa-yeon. Kim Woo-jin, who was arguing with me in the hallway, was memorable in many ways and I remembered him clearly.

Above all, Kim Woo-jin was the only attendant who followed Cheon Sa-yeon's orders with the ability to follow suit. He appeared several times in the novel, most of the time as the main character's watchdog.

Kim Woo-jin's ability to 'blur his presence' was a skill that was so useful that even the SS-ranked protagonist, who was much more sensitive than the general public, couldn't sense him properly.

If I hadn't known Kim Woo-jin's abilities in advance, I would have thought the person behind me was an ordinary person.

"You still don't understand the situation... Me telling you to not follow me isn't advice; it's an order. You can try following me like a dog one more time, if threats won't stop you."

If Kim Woo-jin hadn't gotten any information on me, there would have been no use in threatening him, but he had sent a video of me helping put out the fire. Anyway, the reason why Cheon Sa-yeon had Kim Woo-jin follow me was to see what kind of action I would take after a sudden change. There was no meaning beyond that.

As ordered, I would kidnap Cha Soo-yeon, and the protagonist would come rescue her. If the plan did not go awry, it was clear that Cheon Sa-yeon would cut off his interest in me again.

'It should be like that, so there should be no problem.'

It's just that it's bothersome that Cheon Sa-yeon became interested in me for no reason. I decided to get away from him, so I had to find a way out from now on while Cheon Sa-yeon was interested in me... Just imagining it was terrifying.

I got out of the building where Kim Woo-jin was and immediately caught a taxi. When I told him to go to the gate of the G7 area, the driver asked with a smile, "Oh! Do you also have an ability? If not, at that G7 place, isn't there a Red Fire something or other there?"

"Yes. 'The Empress of Red Flames', Cha Soo-yeon. I'm in the same guild," I lied shamelessly.

"Wooow~ then what's your ability, young man?"

"Eh, I'm nothing impressive. At the guild, I just process paperwork."

When I answered with an awkward smile, the driver said, "Is that so?" and smiled with me.

After 40 minutes, the taxi stopped. As I got out of the taxi, I sighed at the sight of the crowd, which was much larger than I had seen on the news. How would I get Cha Soo-yeon out of there?

Cha Soo-yeon, who was called the 'Empress of Red Flames,' was an A-rank belonging to the Jayna Guild (제이나 길드). Cha Soo-yeon, who could handle fire like Han Yi-gyeol handled wind, was one of the representative talents in Korea who had attracted many followers with her strong power and beautiful appearance.

I looked at the gate shining blue through the crowds. Like the Milky Way, black and dark blue were mixed at random, and the oval-shaped gate sparkled. Beyond that, there were a lot of vicious monsters out there that would kill any ordinary person immediately.

As described in the novel, gates appeared 20 years ago. Gates that appeared suddenly from all over the world began to spit out monsters, and in an instant, threw the world into chaos.
