"The hunters' world is quite interesting," Eruhaben mused.

"I want to go there too!" Dodori said eagerly, glancing at his mama, while Mila simply shrugged.

"I'd rather sleep," Rasheel grumbled, stretching his hands lazily.

"Nobody asked you," Dodori shot back with a playful smirk.

"Oh its starting now"  Raon said as he flapped his wings on his mom lap while Sheritt just smile

CHAPTER 8: THE REASON FOR REMEMBERING(3)

"Is no one gonna comment on the title" Bud asked but no one replied 

"Ok then ignore me" Bud whined and slumped on the table

"But we need to argue about things that need to be argued about."

Cale's stoic gaze turned toward Sui Khan.

"Team leader, the God of Death isn't expecting just the few of us to take care of everything, is he?"

"If he's determined to go on a hunt, he might as well hunt down the God of Death. At least that would ease some of our headaches," Deruth said with a smile that mirrored Cale's own. Cale shivered internally, thinking, 'When did Father become this vicious?'

"An excellent suggestion, Duke Henituse," Alberu agreed, while Violan nodded in approval.

"Then I'll make sure to curse him out, kehehe," Cage added with a gleeful grin.

'You guys I am still here' God of death whined but no one really cared except for one god whose descendent are said to be impure placed a hand on death's shoulder and comfort him

The Hunters had created an organization they called 'Household.'

Cale could now get a better sense of the size of that organization because of the term, 'Church of Blood.'

"Really? Hmm, maybe I should read those books from your history," Rok Soo said excitedly.

"Are you even doing your job properly?" Cale asked with a frown.

"Orabeuni, can you tell me those stories too?" Lily asked eagerly, turning to her brother. Kim Rok Soo nodded in approval.

"Of course! Those stories are amazing. I love Cale's taste."

"Share the stories with us as well," Violan added. "I want to restock the library with books that match Cale's preferences."

Wuxia.

There are always the good faction, the evil faction, and the Church of Demons in these novels. Aside from those, the North Sea Ice Palace and the Church of Blood.

"Good and evil faction? What they separate good and bad people" Whitira asked with a frown 'Even if they separate good and evil, there will be some good in evil and some evil in good'

"Yea kinda but dont except them to be too good or too bad" Choi jung soo said from his experience 

"Of course" Whitira said 

"I want to fight the bad peopl harol kahahaha" Toonka said as harol sighed 'Well if Young master cale approved to it'

'I'll need to go to figure out the Church of Blood in that world, but it is one of the major forces.'

It was not just an organization but a major force.

It was possible that they would be more powerful and more insidious than the White Star's Arm.

Everyone tensed 

"Powerful than arm ha" Rosalyn pondered 

" Well it might be difficult but doable" Gashan said

No, it was highly likely.

'He wants us to take care of something like that on our own?

I know we have Dragons, Choi Han, and our other friends, but...'

"Even if we're strong, it's another world, not ours. That god better give us something for this work," Eruhaben grumbled.

"True! We can't work for free!" Raon shouted, flapping his wings energetically.

"We should loot everything we can, nya," Hong added, munching on his cookies.

If that was the case...

'A lot of our people will get hurt.'

His friends getting seriously injured to capture the Hunters? Them being put in danger?

"!"

"Unlucky bastard, we wont get hurt but you will" Eruhaben grumbled in annoyance

"Thats true weak human, I am great and might so I will protect you" Raon said while choi han nodded 

"Cale, you better not get hurt in a unknown world where we cant even reach" Deruth said with a concern look

'But this isnt about me'

"Young master cale, it is sweet you are thinking about us tho" Rosalyn said to ease the tension 

This basically gave Cale the biggest reason not to accept the divine item from the God of Death.

Cale's gaze was now too sharp for a gaze directed at his team leader he had met again for the first time in a long while.

Sui Khan responded in an oddly slow voice.

"Cale, I know that the God of Death has no shame. But would I inform you about such a god?"

"Sui khan doesnt seems like that" Raon said as he observed sui khan while he gave a tired smile

"Pfft, team leader acts shameless only to the enemies" Choi jung soo said with a smirk.

'I know that too' Cale thought.

"Human! I agree that the God of Death has no shame but Sui Khan doesn't seem like that."

Choi Han slightly nodded his head as if to show agreement to Raon's comment.

Sui Khan chuckled and continued to speak.

"The worlds with the Hunter households all have different situations, but, based on what I know, there are at least some helpers and organizations to support us in each world."

"Helpers! well that is kind of a relief" Basen said with a nod

"True, if there was no support in a unknown world then it will be so difficult" Tasha also agreed

"I also agree" Mary nodded

"Are they organizations that are against the Hunters?"

"Some are like that but others have either made deals with the God of Death or follow him."

"Someone actually follows him?" Cage asked doubtfully.

"I mean he is the only god who involves with humans as far as I see" Bud said with serious tone.

"I know and thats what makes him more suspicious" Taylor replied with a small scary smile.

Sui Khan looked up at the air.

"A wanderer went to the world with the Church of Blood to create a base."

"wanderers? whats that" Bud asked slowly, everyone is interested 

Choi jung soo eyes sparkled in the mention of him

Wanderers.

This was a path that a single-lifer could take after death as they could not reincarnate.

"ho" eruhaben gasps in interest.

'So he also knows about it, it is to be expected' Zed thought as he closed his eyes 

They could either work toward becoming a god or wander like a mercenary.

"Thats kinda interesting, but do they work till the end of the time" Sheritt asked towards choi jung soo which she suspect to be a wanderer

"Yea its kind of like that but wanderers have freedom that gods dont have" Choi jung soo said 

'That means a single lifer not only live more than a dragon does but even after death they have to live like this till the end of the time..... what bullshit' Eruhaben brows furrowed in annoyance 

Choi Jung Gun, the first Dragon Slayer and Choi Han and Choi Jung Soo's ancestor, was a wanderer.

"I feel like you know more about him" Choi Jung soo asked curiously

"Choi Jung Gun? yes...." Cale said as he hesitated to reply

Cale thought that team leader Lee Soo Hyuk seemed odd and naturally commented.

"Did Choi Jung Soo go to do that?"

"...Yeah."

"You are a wanderer?" Raon asked with his big eyes

"Yes, I am" Choi jung soo replied enthusiastically

Choi Jung Soo was a single-lifer.

He too chose the path of a wanderer.

"And i dont regret it" jung soo said with a proud smile

"We should be able to meet Choi Jung Soo there if things go well."

Sui Khan was talking to Cale but his eyes were looking at Choi Han. Choi Han had his head down and was looking at his hands since the moment Cale mentioned Choi Jung Soo.

"!"

'Oh right he is his uncle' Rosalyn let a sad smile 'What is the god doing to drag a kid to a unknown world, no one should suffer like that' She frowned 

Choi jung soo and choi han looked away from eachother didnt even had eye contact

Sui Khan quietly observed him before turning to look at Cale.

He then started to smile.

"Apparently there are Five Great Saints and Five Great Demons in that world."

"Demons?" Fredo asked thinking about the demon world

"Not like that, it is the humans in good, evil and demon" Choi jung soo replied and fredo nodded

Cale wondered why the team leader was suddenly talking about this before thinking about the team leader's personality and asking in a baffled voice.

'No way, right?'

"Is Choi Jung Soo one of them?"

"You are one of them" Bud shouted out

"I mean yea.... they started to call me a that after I showed some of my strength" Choi jung soo slumped in his seat

"Kahaha you are strong i wanna have spar later" Toonka said with a big cartoony smile while cjs nodded

"You are also a unlucky bastard it seems" Eruhaben said as he nodded to himself

"Yes."

Sui Khan sounded a bit mischievous, as if he was trying to calm this heavy mood. Choi Han raised his head a bit and commented.

"He must be one of the Five Great Saints."

"Pfft" Choi jung soo laughed 

"You give him a big credits choi han, well as expected from a family member" Cale said as he patted choi han shoulder

"I-" Choi han tried to speak

"That means they consider you as demon?" Raon asked as he tilted his head

"Yes, after I showed my strength they deemed me as a demon, well it doesnt matter" Choi jung soo replied 

'Demon ah, he must be strong then... well that is to be expected' Beacrox thoughted as he frowned he is getting behind in terms of strength

"No."

Sui Khan sternly shook his head.

"He's the Sword Demon."

"...Excuse me?"

Choi Han asked back and Sui Khan continued as if he found it to be funny.

"Apparently he earned the title by pummeling the contemporary Sword Saint."

"Why would you do that?" Rok soo asked in confusion

"Well not my mistake, that old guy wanted a fight so I did and now they call me sword demon" Choi jung soo said awkwardly 

"Well I guess titles dont matter, but I am very curious about that world" Whitira said while licking her lips

'Aigoo, my head.'

Cale brushed his hair back.

It was obvious that Choi Jung Soo would have been laughing and causing all sorts of incidents without thinking much about it. He even wondered if Choi Jung Soo really was a descendant from Choi Han's family as he frequently caused all sorts of incidents and had a personality where he didn't look back at what he had done.

"Ha, that's a serious accusation, Mister Cale," Choi Jung Soo gasped, clearly offended.

"Just so you know, I thought about it, but my head started to hurt, so I just accepted the duel. Now they call me a demon," he complained further.

"Well, I actually thought it through. Choi Han can't act, but you can," Cale said with a smirk

"Cale-nim!" Choi Han started to panic, while Rosalyn smiled, finding the situation amusing

"Choi Han is an innocent soul, but you..." Cale looked Choi Jung Soo up and down

"H-hey, what! I'm telling you, I didn't laugh and cause the trouble!" Choi Jung Soo protested

'Why, just why... Choi Jung Soo is like another Cale... just why...' Alberu internally cried.

The children began to giggle at the sight of them bickering.

"What kind of incidents did he go around causing?"

"I dont go around and cause troubles" Choi jung soo mumbled 

"Young master cale and mister choi jung soo are so similar" Mary said in a innocent tone

"Young master cale also goes around and cause troubles to the bad guys and we loot them" She said as she is reminiscing. Tasha just giggled. 

choi jung soo smirked "And i am the troublemaker"

Cale didnt reply anything because Mary is the one that said that, if its alberu or choi han he would have retorted back

"I don't know the details either."

Sui Khan calmly commented.

"If things go well, you should be able to ask him in person?"

They might be able to meet Choi Jung Soo.

Those words made Cale silent for a moment. Choi Han was also silent.

"I really hope they meet, hyung look so happy right now" Basen said in a low voice while Lily nodded

Someone else, who had been organizing his thoughts, used this moment of silence to speak.

It was Alberu.

"Either way, Sui Khan, you said that we would most likely go to the world with the white mages first if we have to go to different dimensions, right?"

"That's right."

Alberu had no idea what the Central Plains, wuxia, and Blood Demon were, so he decided to ask about the next step for now.

"Well that is to be expected from a fantasy genre" Rok soo mumbled 

"You talk like you didnt belong here in the past mister rok soo" Alberu called out

"I mean.... " Rok soo become silent

"Then what kind of world is the one with the white mages?"

The white magic associated with the Duke's House of Orsena...

It might even be connected to the destruction of the King's Palace as well.

'Beyond that, the Hunters are now a real threat to the Roan Kingdom.'

'If its trouble to Raon then it will become trouble to breck too' John sighed 

'If young master cale want man power I will just give toonka away, he will also enjoy it' Harol thought as he nodded to himself

This threat might spread throughout the Eastern and Western continents as well. It was normal to expect that people who messed with a King's Palace and a ducal house would be capable of doing even more.

Everyone with politics straighten up

"It sure will be a big problem" Harol mumbled lowly

That was why someone in Alberu's position needed to first learn about such a place in order to make plans for the future.

This question made Sui Khan silent for the first time.

The silence made everybody look at him.

Sui Khan started to speak just after the mood sank.

"That is a ruined world."

"A ruined world" Violan asked curiously if she is sending off his son she should know if its safe

'A ruined world ha' Tasha pondered how it can be ruined

'What?'

Cale looked at his reincarnated team leader in shock.

Alberu spoke with a stiff expression on his face.

"...What do you mean by that?"

"Dead mana covers over 80 percent of the land there and creatures can only live in 20 percent of the world."

"A world covered with dead mana?" Obante eyes trembled 

"How sad, the people must have suffered so much" Mary said stoically but their is a hint of sadness

"No seriously! Dead mana covers like 80% thats fucked up" Rasheel shouted out

"Lets see what is happening" Eruhaben tried to stay calm

Alberu tried to imagine that in his mind.

A world covered in dead mana.

Most living beings in this world would either die or be seriously poisoned if they came in contact with dead mana.

Tasha sighed in frustration 

"Probably the dead mana users will be the one who rule the world for sure and watch people die" She said angrily

"I wonder if the dragons are there" Dodori pondered and asked mom 

"I hope there is"

"...Is the dead mana there different from the dead mana here?"

"No. It is the same. Dead mana is a critical poison to regular living beings."

"Then what about the plants, animals and humans" Lily asked with  a sad look

Alberu was visible in Sui Khan's red eyes. Alberu thought that his eyes resembled blood. The blood-like eyes were looking right at Alberu.

"People who can handle dead mana rule that world. The Dark Elves and black mages are the nobles."

"As i exxpected tsk" Tasha clicked her tongue in annoyance 'This is so bad I want humans and darkness attribute to live together not our role changed'

Unlike this world where Dark Elves and other darkness attribute races were slowly starting to get accepted starting from the Roan Kingdom, they were the ones in power in that world.

'He made the darkness attribute accepted' Rok soo smirked in amusement

"Ah."

Sui Khan turned to look at Cale as if he remembered something.

"For reference, the Emperor of the strongest Empire in that world must have a certain ability. They will only earn the qualification to challenge for the position of imperial crown prince by having that ability."

"Empire" Alberu asked in interest

"An ability ha" Choi han also ponderd

Crunch.

Sui Khan ate the cookie in his hand before continuing to speak.

Raon smiled at Sui khan eating his biscuit

"They have a title for the Emperor of that place."

Cale looked into Sui Khan's red eyes and Sui Khan looked back at him.

"The Emperor of the Dead."

"Necromancer" Shawn asked looking at Mary

"Me" mary pointed to herself as she is excited to see people like her exist in another world

The dead.

The silent Choi Han subconsciously commented after hearing that word.

"Necromancer."

That word made all of them think of one person.

The necromancer, Mary.

"Thats me" Mary proudly said that

"Will good girl mary will be with us in that world" Raon asked excitedly in Cale's mind

Sui Khan calmly agreed with Choi Han.

"Yes, only those with the power of a necromancer will earn the title of heir in that place. It doesn't matter whether they are from the main family or a collateral line."

"Ho" Tasha gasped 

'It is completely different from our world, our world despise necromancer but that world is ruled by a necromancer' Obante thought 

Sui Khan shrugged his shoulders.

"It's completely different from this world, isn't it?"

"Haaa."

Cale sighed and buried his body into the couch.

'A wuxia world and a world covered in dead mana...'

"I wonder if I also in a novel or something" Bud said with a serious look

"Now what made you think like that" Glenn said with a annoyed look

"I mean look the screen always shows chapter, maybe our life is also a book" Bud said but glenn replied 

"Keep your thoughts to yourself"  Bud pouted

"Wow."

'Fuck.'

Cale swore internally and looked forward before making eye contact with Alberu.

Alberu spoke with a stiff expression on his face.

"I cannot go. I can't leave the palace right now with the king gone."

Alberu looked guilty towards cale while cale just sighed 

'Did I asked that or something'

'Who asked?'

'This punk' Alberu internally swored while  Tasha giggled  at them.

Cale silently looked at Alberu, who said all of that despite Cale not asking him to go.

Alberu felt guilty after seeing that indifferent gaze.

'...It won't be easy.'

The world they may have to go first was a world covered in dead mana. A ruined world was a perfect description of
