The shop owner goes back inside and takes the cash.

As expected, it’s different from the banknotes we used before.

“Okay. Here are six 1 million won bills. Eight 100,000 won bills. Since it’s my first transaction, I’ll give you a little more.”

“Ah, thank you.”

I said hello and took the money and left.

There were only two types of banknotes, but even a quick glance at them showed that their quality was completely different.

It was thin like paper, but felt very tough and slightly plastic-like.

It’s a plastic-like fabric, not the kind used for things like X-banners… something like that.

The value of mana has decreased considerably compared to before.

In the past, before Min-gi fell into the dimensional rift, the price of one small monster’s energy crystal was equivalent to 6 to 10 million won, calculated based on the electricity bill alone.

However, considering its rarity and research value, it was worth at least several times more, worth several tens of millions of won.

I gave 10 of them and received only 6.8 million won.

Even though the prices don’t differ much when you consider motel rates…

However, Min-ki had no choice as he did not have any cash to spend right away.

Well, honestly, it’s not a waste.

Because you can earn hundreds of millions right away by going out of the city and hunting monsters for just one day.

If you follow the path that Chief Choi Hyeon-sik showed you, you will come across a busy street.

It is a bustling place like Gangnam in Seoul in the past.

The outside of the city has become a ruin, but inside the city, the scent of its former prosperity remains.

Looking around, I saw that there were a lot of motels around the bar.

If you look around a little more, you can see the hotel in the distance.

I can’t sleep in a motel for the sake of appearance.

I rented a room at the hotel front desk.

When I asked about a suite room, they asked for 3 million won per day.

I paid cash right away and got a place to stay.

The first thing I looked for when I entered the accommodation was the computer.

A computer with internet access.

But no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find anything similar to a computer.

I immediately picked up the phone and asked the front desk.

– Yes? What?

– The Internet. Isn’t there a PC with Internet access?

– What is that?

– Oh my. I….. Ah~! Is there anyone older there? Someone in their 40s or 50s at least.

– Just a moment. I’ll put you on the manager’s side. (Manager~ A customer here is asking for something weird…..#@$)

‘What the hell! What the hell is this?’

– Yes, sir. This is front desk manager Kang Man-sik. What are you looking for?

– What’s that in the suite? You used to use the computer to do things like the internet. You could go to websites and do searches and things like that.

– Ah~! It’s Wallnet. It’s possible. Isn’t there an M machine installed there that can handle everything from Wallnet to TV broadcasting?

– Sorry. It’s been a really, really long time since I’ve been to Korea. I don’t know how to use this. I’ll send a staff member to explain it to you.

– Yes. I will send it to you right away.

Eventually, one of the employees came up.

He looked at Min-ki as if he was looking at a strange species(?), then quickly changed his expression and gave a kind explanation.

‘Ah~. I guess that monitor that looks like a TV is an M machine.’

“Shall I explain further?”

“No. I understand. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to Korea… Anyway, thank you. This is a tip.”

Min-ki quickly handed over a 100,000 won bill.

“Oh, thank you. If you have any questions, please contact me anytime. I am the floor manager, Moon Gil-dong.”

“yes.”

The M machine looks like a flat metal tray.

This acts as a keyboard or mouse.

The monitor was like a large TV hanging on the wall.

The operating form was roughly similar to a tablet PC.

This thing that looks like a metal tray is a large monitor hanging on the wall.

Depending on your needs, clicking or touching the mouse, or keyboard input, is automatically converted.

It’s a bit strange.

Anyway, just like the staff explained, I leaned back on the bed, placed my hand on the metal plate, and used the internet.

No, now I’m using the world net(?) to find information on the 35 years of disconnected reality.

‘Well~ It’s not that difficult. Oh. So that’s what happened. Ah~!’

For a long time, we learned about the history of Earth after Min-ki left.

As if in a predetermined future, the portal gradually increased in number and level of monsters.

Seven years after Min-gi disappeared, a large monster finally appeared.

Thanks to this, 20% of human civilization was blown away.

Humanity failed to fully deal with the large monsters and lost parts of the Earth.

They tried to reclaim it again, but they were unable to withstand the massive onslaught of large monsters, and were unable to reclaim the land that had been turned into Monster Land, so they were busy protecting the remaining 80% of the area.

The lost continents at this time were Africa and South America.

Africa has lost control of almost 90% of its territory, except for some parts of the north.

South America lost exactly half.

However, the place that was lost was not the bottom, but the top.

Monsters have taken root in the vast jungles of the Amazon.

North and South America were cut off.

However, mankind has constantly fought to recover its former land.

The level of the Awakened has increased, and they have also been able to survive thanks to the large number of artifacts being distributed.

However, in the end, the two continents were not regained.

And then, 10 years later (17 years after Min-ki disappeared), a giant monster appeared.

Due to giant monsters, more than 100 countries, excluding those that are truly advanced in dealing with monsters, such as Europe, the United States, China, and Korea, have disappeared.

Since there are about 200 UN member states, half of them have disappeared.

Japan barely held out until it was completely destroyed by a giant monster, and all of Japan’s islands turned into lands of monsters.

This is a bit of a mess.

Anyway, now only Europe, Central Asia, East Asia, parts of the Middle East, and North America remain.

In North America, more than three-quarters of Canada has been taken over by monsters.

Only about 500km from the US border survived, and everything north of that was taken.

In the Middle East, only Türkiye, Syria, Iraq, and Iran survived as a region of humanity.

The Stan brothers states of Central Asia that followed also barely survived.

However, Pakistan and northern India were completely occupied by monsters.

Europe also lost control of the areas east of Moscow and northern Europe.

China also lost huge areas such as the Mongolian Autonomous Region and the Tibet Autonomous Region.

They were only able to defend the inland areas below Sichuan Province and Shanxi Province.

The Australian continent was completely destroyed.

In the end, humanity had lost about half of its land to monsters over a period of 35 years.

But as we saw when Min-gi came.

Even though it was a place occupied by humans, it did not cover the entire area.

Outside of densely populated areas like city-states, sparsely populated areas were still teeming with monsters that had yet to be dealt with.

Moreover, the bigger problem is that it has been 29 years since Min-ki disappeared.

That means the monster portal has been constantly breached for the past 6 years.

Instead of portals opening and disappearing for about 24 or 6 hours like in the past, the portals are now always open.

These portals were always open in areas completely occupied by monsters.

The number of these permanent portals reaches 500.

Even now, human habitation areas are fighting against portals that open dozens of times a day.

This portal only stays open for 6 hours, spews out monsters every 3-4 hours, and then closes shortly thereafter.

‘Is the state of the Earth serious?’

After Min-ki searched about the history of the past, what he searched again was the life and death of his family.

Your parents are most likely dead.

If he were alive, he would be 92 and 87 years old, respectively.

Min-ki’s younger sisters, Su-yeong and Ga-yeong, are also 62 and 60 years old.

However, no matter how hard I searched for Gaya Group on Worldnet, I couldn’t find it.

There is no such thing as Wikipedia in the current MoonNet, so it is very difficult to find traces of the past.

‘Hmm… Overall, it seems like corporate activity has been considerably depressed. Well, in these days of survival, if it weren’t for the necessities, most companies would have collapsed.’

I searched for MF Group and found this.

Representative Lewis is also still alive and well.

It is clearly stated on the homepage, and you can also find out the survival level through the Soul Entrust magic.

That’s because I don’t know the exact location.

However, when I tried to turn on the calling function of the M machine that I had learned from the employee earlier and make a call, I was unable to make a call.

The number I used previously is now showing as an invalid number.

The phone number system was completely different, so calls were impossible.

There is no personal phone number on the website either.

Min-gi thought about it for a moment.

If you just go to a place like a police station and say, ‘I’m Jeong Min-gi, the first president of the Awakening Association who went missing 35 years ago and the head of the MF Group,’ you’ll be treated like a crazy person right away.

Even if you call the MF Group and say, “Change CEO Lewis. I’m the chairman,” you’ll obviously be treated like a crazy person.

‘Honestly, there’s no need to rush. Should I just think of it as a 10-year hobby and enjoy it? But at least I should go to my parents’ grave and say hello.’

After thinking about it some more, an artifact comes to mind.

‘Ah~! The artifact I gave to Gayoung!! I marked it because I lost it. Now that I think about it, Suyoung is wearing an artifact too…..Should I look for it?’

I remembered the code I had previously marked and focused my efforts on finding it.

It becomes a search right away.

But the artifacts were not in one place.

There are a total of 7 artifacts that Min-ki gave to his younger sisters.

1 Intelligence and 1 Accumulation for the unmanned swimming team.

Gayoung, who became a wizard, was given 2 intelligence and 3 accumulation.

Instead, the accumulation that Suyeong has is +20%.

Gayoung received 3 +5% items.

Anyway, the search results show that two of them are located at a close distance to the north.

Location-wise, it feels roughly like Seoul.

The other two are at the 8 o’clock position and appear to be over 1,000 km away.

This is China. Did you give it to Suyeong?

The remaining three are too far away.

It was east, and was estimated to be in the United States in terms of distance.

It’s so far away that I could honestly be wrong.

According to information from Wallnet, Seoul is fine, so should we go somewhere nearby now?

Ah, before that, let’s eat first.

– Yes, this is the front.

– Do you have room service here?

– Yes, you can. If you look in the drawer, there is a menu.

– Wait a minute. Yes. Here it is. Here’s the dinner set and a bottle of Bordeaux Comprea wine. One regular combination pizza. And 10 bottles of beer.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a meal like this.

Come to think of it, I starved all day today because I was chasing that group of hunters.

But the strange thing is, I don’t feel that hungry.

There is just ‘appetite’.

Is this your first meal in 35 years and 123 days?

I had a delicious dinner and drank a bottle of wine and 10 bottles of beer as side dishes, so I feel sleepy.

I have never slept since I was in a semi-fluid state.

Even though he was almost a demigod, he felt tired.

‘Well~ I’ll go tomorrow. It’s not like it’ll be a big deal if I’m a day late…..hmm~’

The next day, Min-ki, who had overslept, checked out right away and went out to look for traces of the artifact.

When I moved, I realized it wasn’t Seoul.

100m above, Min-gi was in a transparent state, and on the ground, a group of hunters were seen hunting monsters.

‘In terms of location, it would be around Goyang-si. Let’s see where. Ah, over there. But isn’t that Gayoung? She’s too young to be called Gayoung. Hmm…..’

I watched quietly from above.

The Hunter group consisted of 10 people and was comprised of a Triceratops-like monster called ‘Naphos’, which was considered the highest level of medium-sized monsters.

Another thing is that it was a bipedal dinosaur, not a quadrupedal one.

However, like Triceratops, it has horns like thorns sprouting all over its body and thick skin.

But even at first glance, this hunter team was much better than Choi Hyun-sik’s team yesterday.

I hunted down Naifos in less than 5 minutes.

And then he immediately dismantles it and puts it in a magic pocket.

‘Huh? It’s a Magic Pocket? I told you that it was really expensive. It’s on a whole other level than yesterday’s team.’

After collecting the important byproducts and setting out, they immediately head out, not even targeting medium-sized monsters.

When I got closer, I saw that it was a young female magician wearing the artifact that I had given to my younger sister, Gayoung.

She looked to be in her mid-twenties and was quite pretty.

I feel like I have the skills of a 4 circle master.

Did you say level 4.9 here?

Anyway, the female wizard is wearing an artifact.

It’s not just one. It has one intelligence and one accumulation.

And he also had a magic pocket.

I followed the Hunter team around all day like a stalker.

They hunted both medium and large animals and took the by-products.

In the case of small monsters, I just checked whether there was an energy crystal in the chest area and discarded it.

As I continued to watch, I found out that the female wizard’s name was ‘Im Seo-ha’ and her position in this group was quite high.

“Seoha. How cold is it?”

“There’s still plenty. I think it’s a little over halfway.”

“Really? Then should we go in further? Or should we take a detour and go back? Even if we take a detour, I think we can fill it up if we go around and hunt.”

“Um…let’s go into it a little more today.”

“Okay, let’s go in, kids. The princess has given permission.”

“Oppa~! Didn’t I tell you not to say that?!”

“Sorry~. It’s become a habit. Kids~ Let’s go~! The princess’s escort knights ‘Rose Squad’, let’s go~!!”

“Chief, O~~oppa!!!! Again~!!”

‘Kuk kuk.’

I almost laughed by accident.
