“SoIt’s been 25 years” He blinked once and just like that, 25 years had passed The situation was so ridiculous that he wasn’t particularly shocked or du like a hidden-caainst that

‘My one They’ve completely atrophied’

Seo Jun-Ho stared down at his body, dumbfounded He was so thin that his bones were visible He had taken a nap, and just like that, the body he trained vigorously for 5 years was gone

“Specter-nim The President of the Players’ association has come to see you”

Wherever he went, the top doctors of the world spoke to hiether[1]

That was the least they could do to show respect to the savior of humanity Seo Jun-Ho wasn’t uncomfortable with this, because this was the treatment he had always received

“Is the President soer, then he would tell them to leave It hadn’t even been a day since he woke up He didn’t want to be bothered already

But the doctor said so “Yes The President spoke casually and said you were their friend”

“Friend…? Huh” There weren’t many who he considered a friend

‘Well, I suppose I’ll know once we meet’

Seo Jun-Ho turned to look out into Seoul, as if he was aed” There were ic one More than that, there wasn’t a single gate in Seoul when previously, they had been all over the place

‘It’sthe peaceful world that anted’

Thinking of his comrades, Seo Jun-Ho closed his eyes and smiled faintly “What will I do now?”

The world had changed when he was 20, and he beca he kne to do was to hunt uess I’ht With an unburdened heart, he pulled off his mask “Hup!”

The du their screams

Who was Specter? Besides his Korean nationality, he had always been a e, and face were unknown So how could he take off his mask so casually?

One of the doctors spoke with a shaky voice “W-whywhy did you take off your mask?”

“Huh? I don’t need it anymore” Seo Jun-Ho said this as he twirled his trademark mask in his hands “The world is peaceful now”

“UhI…” A shadow crossed over the doctors’ faces Seo Jun-Ho noticed the shi+ft “What’s with your reactions?”

“No, that’s…”

The doctors couldn’t say anything They silanced at each other

“I’ll explain” As the door opened, a put-togetherhis face, Seo Jun-Ho’s eyes ide He had a ferinkles now, but it was a face that he would never forget

“Areare you Deok-Gu?”

“Pfft” The doctors turned their heads away as they held back their laughs

“Ahehtly red “I want to speak with him in private”

“Yes, President”

After the doctors walked out, the President pulled up a chair and took a seat His eyes started to water “Jun-Ho, you still look exactly the same” Even after 25 years, his friend Seo Jun-Ho was still exactly the sae that his skin had started to wrinkle and his stomach started to stick out, but Jun-Ho still looked exactly as he looked when he was younger But his healthy body had deteriorated to the point that he looked sickeningly skinny

The President bit his lower lip, for so

“Wow That voice You really are Deok-Gu” It had becoe, but it was the voice of his childhood friend shi+m Deok-Gu

Seo Jun-Ho stared with aed“Hey, look! I told you that M-shape was a sign of balding! You said it wasn’t!”

“That’s all you have to say after…!” shi+ out a sigh “Hoo, that’s right… The Seo Jun-Ho I knew had always been like this What a heartfelt reunion…”

“Did you really expect that?” Seo Jun-Ho was still gripping his sto “25 yearsPfft, it’s been 25 years but there’s still no cure for balding?”

“The wigs are good You can’t tell the difference I didn’t wear one today because I was in a rush”

“Really? Then show me next time”

“You’ll be surprised” These two really did like to speak of such trivial things Considering how they were two grown men, they had a lot to talk about as they went from topic to topic without a mo, and Seo Jun-Ho would peel clementines from the basket[2] as he chimed in A few hours passed just like that

shi+m Deok-Gu smiled fondly “You rascal, you’re still exactly the same”

Even after 25 years, the two friends ere born and raised together were still the same

Deok-Gu had actually been nervous on the way to the hospital He was scared to show Jun-Ho the “adult” he had beco as freely as before

“You look the sa out a bit now”

“You…try getting old”

Seeing the aard expression on shi+m Deok-Gu’s face, Seo Jun-Ho spoke up “Now that you’re not so tense anymore, tell me why those doctors reacted like that”

“Ah, u the topic shi+uys defeated the Frost Queen, all the players received the sa the ratulations The Frost Queen has been defeated]
