I Became a Father - Chapter 14

“Kkeu, this is delicious.”

Although he was a little nervous, my tall and handsome friend was excited while he was eating the melona. The very friend who once went to a fast-food restaurant and said, ‘Give me a Sangsechikom, please.’
(T/N: Sangsechikom is Shanghai Spice Chicken Combo)

Yoon Kisoo.

How many people in Korea did not know this name? It would be like a kindergartener who didn’t know the name of our President. That was a good thing to say in advance, I mean.

From the 91st floor of the Mirage, only a small part of the contractors were allowed,  remember? From there, the condition of an exclusive contract is necessary. The exclusive contract was that the watcher made this kind of proposal.

[Excuse me, sir.]

[I think our store goes well with you.]

[How about you refund all the other stores and use our store only?]

Well, that kind of proposal.

It depends on the watcher’s tendency. It could be more agreeable or could be more threatening and also it could be clutter, but….. this also meant cutting off all support from other watchers and signing a contract with only one watcher.

Well, just because the watcher has an exclusive contract didn’t mean he could get rid of all the other contractors. But still, the exclusive contract was made with only one watcher with the corresponding compensation.

With that kind of exclusive contract, the only 90th level hunter in Korea. The only person in Korea who signed an exclusive contract. The contractor who was most favored by the ‘Ruler of Extinction’. Sometimes called the Wings of Extinction too.

These were the features of my less attractive friend, Yoon Kisoo.

To conclude, it meant that he was the best hunter in our country.

There’s another reason why this guy was especially great and popular.

[Passive Skill]

-Flame of Extinction (Rank: D→S)

It was a fact that he started with a D-Rank tutorial and took a passive skill S rank before signing an exclusive contract. He awakened as a hunter while moving through construction sites due to poor family conditions. At that time, it was not a Flame of Extinction but a Flame of Regeneration.

He was neglected because he has an ambiguous passive skill both in recovery and attack. He climbed into the Mirage but was neglected again because no one supported him except the ‘Ruler of the Extinction’. After all those hardships, he eventually reached the peak of the domestic hunter world like a perfect scenario. Should I say he’s like a typical protagonist style? After some hardships, came a happy end.

“What, why are you suddenly not talking? You don’t want to explain?”

“No, I’ll explain.”

I shook my head. I didn’t know about other people, but there’s nothing to hide from this guy. About everything I’ve been through in The Initial Dungeon.

[<Daughter who loves her dad❤> is getting sleepy little by little.]

I didn’t want to hide everything about Sehwa, who didn’t want to miss her smartphone even when she’s sleepy.

This Kisoo had never made a secret to me either.

“There are too many ears here, so let’s wait a bit.”

“….. do you mean there’s a lot of ears here hearing, right? Don’t worry. There’s no one around here. I checked everything.”

Certainly, Yoon Kisoo has appeared, but there were no hum or cheers around him.

[The Barrier has been confirmed.]

[Skill Name: Wings of Phantom Flames]

[User: Yoon Kisoo]

[Effects: Unrecognized, Inaccessible, Sound Blocked]

It was because Kisoo had casted a Barrier. The precision was low, but the power of the Barrier itself was better than I had now.

“No, I truly mean it. There would be no ear to hear everything you said here.”

But even if people around me were noisy, I would have answered the same anyway. Because the ‘ear’ I’m talking about was different from the other ‘ear’.

“What are you talking about?”

Kisoo groaned his head. By now, the Ruler of Extinction will be quietly rumoring to other watchers, right?

“Come on! Let’s start talking.”

“You really didn’t change, you silly man. So what’s your real rank?”

“EX.”

“Isn’t it a stealth of B rank magic? It’s great to be a B rank in one day. I’ll push you hard, so talk comfortably.”

“EX.”

“You keep saying that. Do you want to get hit?”

“Do you want to fight?”

“What the hell, Are you serious?

“Of course. I told you what I didn’t tell the association and the administration.”

[Many watchers pay attention to this conversation.]

“It’s here. The ‘ears’ who could hear it.”

The voyeur tenants would never let go of this. Watchers then rushed in.

“My God, what’s going on here?”

Kisoo was definitely a successful hunter. At least, he was not confused when experiencing the watchers suddenly gathered in one place other than dungeon and Mirage.

[Here are the watchers who are paying attention to this conversation].

-Wolcheong, Ruler of Extinction, The Dictator, Dark Watcher, Arcane One, Garden World, Absolute Zero

-Whisperer, Overlook, Volcano, The Death Clown, Origin Eater, The Nameless.

While Kisoo was shocked, I checked who had come. There were 13 seats. A lot of people with big butts had come too.

Was it because of the buried truth? Because they didn’t like me trying to uncover the truth? Or was it because they were curious about the Initial Wizard?

I had expected they would come, but I honestly didn’t know why. I didn’t know clearly about the insides of the nobles whom I have never met.

By the way…..

“He’s not coming at this time.”, I mumbled.

“What?”

“Uh uh, there’s something like that.”

Come to think of it, there’s no Life Predator this time. It seemed that he was not really curious about this. At this point, I was a little disappointed.

“Now, then.”

I confessed everything. I didn’t hide with ‘it was a story of someone I knew’ but I just confessed it.

“The Initial Dungeon. That is the name.”

Kisoo worked hard to understand what I’m saying.

“Huh! Did time go so slowly? So how many months have you been through? The S-Ranks are usually a month.”

They were also shocked.

“What? 1587? If you try to trick me…… no, you must be serious.”

He also doubted my story.

“What kind of monster are you to finish the dungeon in that short time? And more than that an EX-Rank. You’ve suffered enough and done a great job.”

He patted my shoulders with a salty expression.

“Wait a minute. Stop.”

Suddenly he stopped talking and opened his mouth with a troubled look.

“Hey, that was just as hard as fighting while you had to go to the bathroom. So let’s pass the topic on.”

“Huh? But that’s the funny part, I want to twist my body like this………”

“That’s not funny.”

[Watchers are bored.]

Humans and watchers protest in a group.

It has been 1587 years, so there’s not a bit of consideration to be excited with my story.

“If I tell everything in a funny way, I would have been a story-teller .”

“No. What I’m saying is that you don’t have to tell me everything.”

Such a cold guy.

[The watchers agree with the <Wings of Extinction>.]

These cold tenants. The building owner was crying today.

“Phew.”

I had no choice but to skip all the important stories.

“Ppa~?”

“Huh?”

“Say hi! Hyun Sehwa. This is my daughter.”

I took Sehwa out of the inventory and hugged her.

“….Huh?”

Kisoo was frozen.

“Hmm~”

Sehwa slowly looked around in my arms and yawned for a long time.

“breathing slowly.”

Then she fell asleep. My daughter fell asleep, my smartphone ran out, and I had a sore back.

I’m glad that Sehwa became lighter, about 50kg as we came out of the Mirage…….

[<Ruler of Extinction> request for you to <Right to Know>.]

Huh? What is <Right to Know>?

…..Ah! I see.

Kyaa, as expected, the transcendental people were different no matter what. I’ve selected the words that best matched my privacy invasion.

They were trying to keep my suggestion to keep me and my daughter as secret as possible, in condition I just need to inform one contractor.

Of course, I’m not saying that the Ruler of the Extinction would know it alone, but it’s the agreement of all 20 watchers.

I thought I could tell two or three people, but it’s good for me to just tell 1 person only.

[You accept the request for the <Right to Know> of the <Ruler of Extinction>.]

Especially since I was telling everything to Kisoo so I have no reason to reject it.

By the way, The Ruler of Extinction is far from hypocrisy, it’s not even a propensity.

If I thought of this quietly, there won’t be any problems with the contractor, so why would I accept his <Right to Know> like this? I could just decline and still won’t get into trouble.

But he was Kisoo’s contractor and Kisoo himself wanted to know. Then…

“Minjun.”

Was I cherishing my friend too much, he who had been stiff, finally opened his mouth after a while. I didn’t know why I cared for him so much.

“Kidnapping is a crime.”

Kisoo was serious. He was so serious enough to make me wonder if he had this serious side before.

I hugged Sehwa, who was sleeping.

“Do you hear the person who said that me and my daughter are like a painting?”

“Don’t make me laugh, you’ll ruin the painting.”

Kisoo laughed and looked at Sehwa, who was sleeping.

“Hey.”

As his facial muscles loosen, the sides of his mouth rises. Anyone looking at our Sehwa, they would be like that too. Ho ho.

[Some watchers think <Daughter who loves dad❤>is cute.]

Watchers were no exception. But why only some? That absurd.

“Where did this daughter suddenly appear? From the guy who didn’t have a lover until yesterday?”

“Inventory.”

“Oh, yeah. I’m really worried about the creature coming out of the inventory, but I’m not asking that, you bastard.”

Kisoo raised his upper body and frowned.

“Well.. I mean. Ah. Oh, how should I say this? Don’t be offended, listen.”

My friend, I couldn’t see the polite form of your comments that came in like that.

“Is she a human being?”

See? Didn’t his expression look so ridiculous? Extremely rude with his words.

But I understood.

“She’s so pretty, cute, lovely, charming, and adorable, right?”

“That’s what I’m saying.”

When I asked with a big smile, Kisoo smiled and nodded.

“Ah, not that!”

He shakes his head suddenly and turns his eyes on her.

“Hey, the baby woke up, the baby woke up.”

“Ikeuu.”

Kisoo quickly looked at Sehwa and shut his mouth. Then he lowered his voice as much as possible.

“She’s not a human being, right?”

“No.”

“It’s more embarrassing to me as you answer frankly. Explain in detail.”

“Before, you told me to skip this and that.”

“But you still have to explain, don’t say anyshit like the baby just comes out…..eum”

Kisoo stopped grumbling when he saw my eyes sharply staring at him and shut his mouth quickly.

My friend, at least understand what the sequence of the words that come out of your mouth.

“Ahhh.”

“Oh, there, there, very pretty. Good evening, my nephew.”

[Watchers are curious about the next story of <The Initial Wizard>.]

“Are you the Initial Wizard? Are you the Initial Wizard because you finished the Initial Dungeon? Haha, ha….”

Sehwa flipped around once in a timely manner, and the watchers paid attention to her. Kisoo’s effort not to miss a chance each time, he opened his eyes on me then I continued the story.

“Mirage. Do you know who made it?”

“Of course.”

“If you’re going to answer that it’s the watcher, stop there, my friend.”

“Hmm-”

At my words, Kisoo closes his lips inward.…. Why are you pretending to be cute? Anyway, I don’t intend to blame Kisoo for not knowing.

The Abyss.

The source of chaos by intervening in another dimension through the medium of dungeons, and the main culprit of the cataclysm upheaval that finally reached the Earth.

Back then, transcendental people with good will who couldn’t see the earth got eroded by The Abyss!

They awakened the hunter!

They made a gate to block the dungeon!

They set up a Mirage for hunters to practice!

They are the watchers!

Wow! That’s great!

“No?”

“No.”

Terribly, this is commonly known as the truth. That’s why I knew it. How many people knew the truth buried in lies?

If you’re an exclusive contractor, you might know the truth. I took a moment’s pause.

Hey, Mr. tenant, ‘Ruler of Extinction’.

Do you mind if I tell him everything?

The <Right to Know> that you used doesn’t include all the truth.

…..

Silence is positive! All right, let’s get this straight!

“Blessing of awakening. Blocking the dungeon with a gate. Building a Mirage. All of those were done by Sehwa’s mother.”

Sehwa cannot directly intervene in system messages for no reason. Since it is Sujin’s achievement, Sehwa can be the successor, that’s why she can intervene with it.

“Huh?”

“Oh, I mean the Mirage only up to the 50th floor. Above that, the watchers put it up.”

“Uh?”

I kindly added, but Kisoo’s face didn’t come back.

Anyway, the story goes on!

“Huh huh?”

Nurung was Sujin, and I gave a generous spoiler that Lee Sujin was Sehwa’s mother.

“Wait a minute.”

“Oh, again, why, what?”

“What should I call Sehwa’s mother? Can I just say Sujin?”, Kisoo asked.

“She doesn’t like it so just call her sister in-law.”

“Yes. So you’re saying that you’ve seen the sister -in-law’s real appearance, right?”

“What I’ve actually encountered in real life was like a balloon that lost its gas.”

“Then… then…”

Kisoo hesitated for a long time and then lowered his voice more than ever before.

“How did you make this child?”
