Chapter 2
“Hmmmm…..”
Haneul was tossing and turning in the middle of the night.
He was having a troublesome dream.
Suddenly, his eyes opened wide.
He saw something exploding in front of his eyes.
“Gasp, gasp!”
Cold sweat was dripping down all over his body.
It wasn’t a simple nightmare.
Haneul’s body felt like it was on fire. Was it a flu or a body ache? He frowned as he thought of these ideas and raised his arm to bring it toward his head.
The ring on his finger was shining brightly.
“Huh?”
Haneul snapped out from his sleep. He was able to feel some form of heat forming on his finger. It was the same feeling as when he first wore the Silver Armor.
“What’s this? What’s going on right now?”
That’s when the light from the ring subsided.
Haneul rubbed his eyes and tried touching his ring again, but the light was gone as if it was never there. He was wondering if the light from the ring was connected to the nightmare he was having earlier.
Haneul turned his smart phone on. It was 3:30am, about an hour since he fell asleep.
‘Is it just a weird feeling?’
The ring was very strange. As Haneul tossed and turned, he kept on staring at the ring.
Chwarararak.
Haneul put his armor on, but there wasn’t anything different about it. It must’ve just been a weird feeling he was getting, and as he was trying to fall back asleep, something happened.
The phone suddenly started to ring.
It was a phone call from the Hero Organization.
‘At this time?’
With an absurd expression, Haneul picked up the phone.
“Yes?”
Silver Knight…….Right as Haneul was going to ask him who Silver Knight was, he recalled that it was the name he chose when he became a hero.
“Ah, you’re right. Yes, I am the Silver Knight.”
“No, wait, wait! Are you saying that an earthquake just hit?”
The phone was disconnected and a text message was sent right after. It contained the location of the First city in the East area.
“f.u.c.k. Where the h.e.l.l is the East area? If you’re Korean, you should tell me in a Korean way.”
English was hopeless to him.
Haneul turned the computer on to check for the location on the map.
After some research, Haneul found that the East area was the place on the east side of Seoul. The First city that they spoke of was Goori city. (TN – Goori city is the name of city in Korea.)
“There’s an earthquake in Goori?”
Haneul walked out to the veranda. It was late at night and the streets were empty and quiet.
Was there really an earthquake just as the Organization said earlier?
As Haneul was deep in thought, he walked closer towards the window and looked out far into the horizon. As his eyes came across the skies, south of Goori, he frowned because Haneul was able to see a huge cut in the sky.
It was the same sky he saw that day, when he looked out from the terminal.
Earthquake. An earthquake has happened again.
Haneul immediately checked the news. He was frustrated to know that it took him this long to notice when there were so many discussions going on.
Suddenly, there was something that caught his eye.
– The Special Ops has confirmed that the Earthquake this time in East area is at Level A. In order to correct this problem as soon as possible, any information will……..
“What? Level A? Then this is going to be super dangerous. What does this mean though? Aren’t I a Rank B hero? Why do I have to go to a high level earthquake when it’s so dangerous?”
In case Haneul might have missed something, he went back to the message to reread it. He was able to notice another message that he received 40 minutes prior to his last.
Haneul’s eyes grew wide with surprise. He was completely sure that he was only at the Rank B level, but it seemed that he was wrong and was actually Rank A.
‘What do they mean Rank A, did they send this message to the right person?’
Not only that, but there was a hot topic going around about Haneul on the internet.
A grand debut for the new Rank B hero?
There were several topics with t.i.tles similar to this.
It was the same explosion as when people gossiped about a top star and their lover.
It’s not too peculiar if you think of heroes as a famous top star, but it was hard to get used to when the conversation was about yourself.
A hero who had a grand debut while being the interest of the whole world. Honestly, it was because of the fact that Haneul was a Rank B hero, but there would be even more chaos if they found out that he was actually Rank A.
The Hero in Silver was going around like hot potato because of his popularity as well as charisma.
“s.h.i.t, I don’t know. Let’s move for now. I’m sure this order came down to me because I have the power to help them.”
If Haneul went and had a hard time with the fight, it wouldn’t be bad if a stronger hero helped him.
He packed away his phone, his wallet………
“Am I even going to need this stuff when I’m going to go fight? Meh, Oh wells.”
Haneul left his house. If he used his magic, his physical rose up by high margins. If it was him in the past, this wouldn’t have been possible, but now he was running towards Goori.
“Geez, so unfriendly. If they were going to make me do something special, they could’ve at least sent me a car or something.”
Haneul was running hard. As he was picking up on speed in a deserted street, he noticed that his ring was displaying a light glow.
As the Silver Armor covered his Haneul’s body, he put strength into his legs and disappeared into the darkness.
Chapter 2 – End.
