Chapter 352: New Season 1

Junhyuk thought his ultimate seemed like a black hole. He was able to kill a certain amount of space, and the space surrounding the dead space tried to replenish it. Meanwhile, the dead space sucked everything around it. The effects only lasted for a short while, but its power was definitely superior.

Junhyuk looked at the sky. He had killed the Harpy Queen, so he was expecting other monsters to appear, but the dimensional tear was quiet.

Even so, Junhyuk did not jump into it. Instead, he grabbed the Harpy Queen’s leg and looked around.

“That’s strange.”

He had learned about spatial death, and from there he had acquired his ultimate. His ultimate was amazing, and he did not think he could’ve activated a better one.

His health and his other powers had also increased.

Junhyuk was sure that he had become a hero, but Agenchra still hadn’t shown up. As far as Junhyuk knew, Agenchra could stop time and show up anywhere.

Junhyuk dragged the Harpy Queen’s body back, thinking it could be useful somehow. In the Dimensional Battlefield, killing it would give the team a bonus attack buff. The Harpy Queen also had a chance of dropping a bonus attack item, and while he didn’t know which body part carried the item, he decided to get it back to Guardians first. He wanted to give it to Elise.

As he dragged the Harpy Queen’s body, the other monsters stayed away from him. The trail of blood being left by the A-ranked monster was keeping them back.

Junhyuk walked heavily and crossed the border of the monster area. As he did, a large crowd of people rushed toward him. The teams had been able to kill the packs of turtles and retreat. They were all injured, none without any damage, but their eyes beamed as they saw him. They had only seen him kill the Harpy Queen from a distance.

Junhyuk smiled at them and tried to speak, but everyone stopped midstep, and that’s when he realized time had stopped. He looked around, and even before the dimensional tear appeared, he was able to sense it.

He stared at Agenchra, who had a big smiled on his face. Agenchra clapped loudly and took off his fedora, bowing to him.

“I’ve become a hero, right?” Junhyuk asked.

“Correct. The first hero among humans.”

His heart pounded. He had worked like a dog in the Dimensional Battlefield, but he was strong now. Calming himself down, he turned to Agenchra and asked, “Why didn’t you show up sooner?”

Agenchra pointed behind Junhyuk and said, “You were inside the monster area. That is not my territory. I can’t make you an offer while you are in there.”

Junhyuk turned to look at the area behind him. It certainly wasn’t Agenchra’s territory. Then, he turned to Agenchra, and the manager smiled.

“You’ve become a hero, so it’s time to sign a new contract.”

Junhyuk knew about the hero’s contract, and that it would be different from the champion’s contract.

“Show me the contract.”

Agenchra tore a page from his pocketbook and threw it behind him. The page grew to the height of a three-storey building.

The manager smiled.

“The hero’s contract isn’t very different from the champion’s contract. There are only a few changes.”

Agenchra pointed at the page, and parts of the document started shining. Junhyuk looked at it and raised his hand.

“Is there a limit to how long you can stop time?”

Agenchra shook his head.

“There is no such limit.”

“Then, wait for me.”

Junhyuk read the document as quickly as he could. It was as tall as a three-storey building even though it had come from a single page. Because of that, he spent quite a while going over it.

After getting a general understanding of it, he asked, “So, when I die as a hero in the Dimensional Battlefield, I’ll drop an item. That’s certainly different from the Champions’ Battlefield.”

“Correct.”

“And the victory reward is fixed at 200,000G.”

“Yes.”

A slight frown appeared on his face.

“The conditions don’t seem any better than the Champions’ Battlefield! In some ways, the Champions’ Battlefield is worth more!”

“But if you kill an enemy, you may pick up their item.”

“But I have to do it quickly. If not, it’ll disappear, and when it disappears it goes back to the dimensional merchant.”

“Those are the rules, and I can’t do anything about them.”

Junhyuk laughed and said, “The only benefit is that I can gain a reward when I become a legend.”

“That is so.”

Junhyuk read the part about the legend reward again. When one became a legend, a wish was fully granted.

“Is there a limit to what wish I can make?”

Agenchra smiled.

“So far, all wishes have been granted. We do everything we can to grant the wish.”

Junhyuk stared at Agenchra. He had learned about space and gained a new power, but his powers meant nothing when compared to those of management.

They not only controlled space, but also time. Management could also summon humans to the Dimensional Battlefield and had the capability of granting wishes.

“Time stops when a hero goes to the Dimensional Battlefield?”

“Of course.”

After some thought, Junhyuk said, “OK. Let’s sign the contract.”

Agenchra smiled and pulled out another sheet of paper. It shone bright blue, and the outline of a hand appeared in the center of it. Junhyuk placed his hand on the outline, and the paper shone brighter. After that, Agenchra took the sheet and smiled.

“We are done here.”

Junhyuk was still curious about some things, however.

“Then, starting this week, I’ll be hero?”

“Yes. A new season will begin, and you will be a new hero. That’s a good thing.” Junhyuk stared at Agenchra, and the manager smiled and continued, “The Dimensional Battlefield has gone through some major changes. They were systematic changes, and you will adjust well.”

“Who is on my team?”

Agenchra smiled again and said, “I can’t tell you about your new team. You’ll find out when you go to the battlefield.”

Still staring at Agenchra, he nodded.

“What about Gongon? Has he become a hero?”

“I haven’t heard anything about that.”

Junhyuk smiled. He had won the bet for the 100,000G.

“What will happen to my training facility?”

“The facility was created so that champions can train to become heroes. Therefore, everything will go to Sarang Kim now,” Agenchra answered.

Junhyuk frowned. He had to train in the facility to gain mana, but now, he wouldn’t be able to enter.

“Is there a way to give me access to it?”

“You’ll need permission from Sarang.”

Junhyuk smiled bitterly. Their positions had changed.

“You already said that two people can have access to it. Can I be the second person?”

Agenchra tilted his head and asked, “Is there a reason for why you need to enter?”

“Becoming a hero isn’t the end of things. To become a legend, being a hero isn’t enough. So, unless you make me a hero’s facility, I’ll still need access to it.”

Agenchra’s eyes widened.

“You are thinking of becoming a legend?”

“That’s right! I wouldn’t have become a hero if I hadn’t been thinking of that in the first place.”

The manager smiled and said, “I understand now. We don’t have another champion, so I will grant your wish for now.”

“Thanks.”

Agenchra took his fedora and bowed, saying, “I expect good things from you tomorrow.”

“You do that.”

Junhyuk was thinking that he had become a hero too quickly. When he compared his items to the items of legends, they were mostly inferior, but when he compared them to the items of other heroes, some of his items were of very high quality.

A lot of his items were of no use to him now that he had become a hero, and because of that, now that he was a hero, he could not die. He had five items that were worth over 200,000G, so if he dropped any of those, he would go insane.

“I’ll become a legend without dying even once,” he murmured.

Agenchra disappeared and time flowed again. Junhyuk saw the novices and the experts heading his way.

Peyton got to him first and asked, “What happened?”

“What?”

“That massive hurricane!”

“Hurricane?”

Peyton thought about what had happened for a while and said, “You brought the Harpy Queen down with that hurricane.”

Junhyuk’s power bore more of a resemblance to a black hole, but the others thought it had looked like a hurricane. When he had killed space, that space had not turned black at all. It had merely become nothing.

He shrugged and said, “It’s my secret weapon.”

Junhyuk did not tell them he was a hero now. People already expected a lot of him, and he did not want them expecting even more.

Johnson walked up to him, and Junhyuk handed him the body of the Harpy Queen.

“This is a Harpy Queen, an A-ranked monster. Send it to Guardians.”

Johnson nodded and answered, “Yes, sir. Right away.”

Junhyuk nodded and looked at the others.

“By the way, you did well carrying an orderly retreat without any casualties. I’m calling off afternoon training. Since I killed the A-ranked monster, they’ll be expecting its body for research.”

Everyone was glad, and Junhyuk walked up to Jiro and said, “The monster area is in transition, so there won’t be any training this afternoon. Let’s go back to the hotel.”

“Yes, sir.”

Most of all, Junhyuk wanted to check out his new power. He had killed space, but he didn’t know much about it. He didn’t even know its cooldown. Junhyuk had acquired his ultimate, yes, but he had to thoroughly investigate it first. No one would be able to explain it to him.

As they prepared to move out, Ling Ling walked over to him and asked, “Did you just become a champion?”

An expert would know if someone activated a new power.

Junhyuk shrugged and answered, “Well.”

Some would figure out that he was a hero now. Those like Jeffrey, who had already known Junhyuk to be a champion.

People would find out, but he wasn’t going to break the news to them first.

Junhyuk got into a vehicle and closed his eyes. He felt the energy within his body. After assimilating the living spirit, Junhyuk had prepared himself to become a hero. After becoming a hero, he felt that every single one of his stats had increased.

Along with his new power, he had to test everything out again. He had to enter the training facility.
