"Really?"
"Yes! I can even remember the golden light shinning on him as he flew down and landed! He looked so divine!"
"I literally can't imagine that. Dokja-hyung looks plain so I don't get why you think he looks divine-"
The door suddenly opened.
"Hey guys I came to visit Jin-Woo in the hospital!" Kim Dokja entered with a smile.
"Hyung when did you get so handsome-" Jin-Ah asked.
An irk mark appeared on Dokja's forehead but he kept smiling with closed eyes.
[The 4th walls laughs]
'You motherf*ck did you blur out my face here before I entered this world too?!'
-------------------------------------------------
"Hyung does awakening make you look better too?! No but that can't be because all the other hunters still look the same," Jin-Ah put her thumb under her chin as if she was thinking very hard.
"What if I told you that I've always been an awakened the whole time and had a skill to blur out my face but forgot to use it yesterday?" said Kim Dokja.
"But that can't be! You've always said that you didn't want to become a hunter and just wanted to run a coffe shop! You even hated violence a lot due to um... trauma," Jin-Ah voice got quieter at the end.
'4th wall what is she talking about?' the reader asked.
[The parents of the fragment in this word were killed in a gate outbreak because the hunters didn't make it in time. You were also abused by your other relatives]
'... Why is my life here depressing too,' thought Dokja.
"Well that's why I kept my power hidden because I just wanted to live peacefully but I revealed it because I couldn't bare other's loosing their loved ones because of a gate outbreak like me," Kim Dokja was able to quickly come up with an excuse.
Jin-Ah narrowed her eyes at Kim Dokja as if she was questioning him until Jin-Woo spoke up.
"Jin-Ah stop. Don't pressure sunbae like that," Jin-Woo scolded his sister.
"Alright alright. I guess I'll leave now since you're ok," said Jin-Ah before turning to Dokja, "also you might want to be careful. I think Jinwoo-hyung's going a little crazy because he asked if I could see a blue screen in the air," she whispered to Dokja (even though Jin-Woo could still hear) before leaving.
Jin-Woo and Dokja stared at each other in silence.
"Sunbae, the being in the double dungeon... was you right?"
"You're right, it was me," Kim Dokja replied, revealing his wings and horns.
Jin-Woo held Kim Dokja face and pulled it closer with a confused look. 'What is this kid doing?' Dokja sweat dropped.
"Sunbae, didn't you have red pupils in this form before? They're not here this time."
Jin-Woo was right. Aside from his wings and horns which are abnormal, he also had red flashing pupils when he appeared in front of Jin-Woo in the double dungeon(which was not mentioned before). They were like cameras or a tracker that the Architect had put on the body of the fragment when he had created the fragment. If Dokja didn't use the help of the 4th wall of fake the red in his pupils then the Architect would've known he was no longer in their controll.
"I can't really tell you the reason for it. Let's just say that I'm being tracked yeah," Kim Dokja just let out a smile. Jin-Woo on the other hand looked concerned when the reader mentioned that he was being tracked. "Also we've already graduated from high school so you don't need to call me sunbae anymore. Just call me hyung yeah?"
"Su- hyung, should you really be smiling when someone's tracking you?" Jin-Woo asked, concerned.
"I'll be fine. You're in bigger danger than me. Don't die before I do and get stronger yeah? I'll be leaving now," said Kim Dokja before leaving.
The reader was very anxious. Sung Jin-Woo was a protagonist but he looked very... weak. Not only did he look that way but he was even named 'The World's Weakest Hunter'. That literally screamed death flags. If Jin-Woo were to die, Kim Dokja's mission will be an instant failure. It wasn't the protagonist that revolved around a story, it was the complete opposite actually. It was a story that revolved around a protagonist, no matter how weak they are. If Jin-Woo died, this very world would collapse without a protagonist. It was literally 'The End'.
'So where am I supposed to go now?' Kim Dokja suddenly realised he was just walking in the streets without a destination (what he didn't realise what that the people around him were staring at him and taking pictures).
[The fragment in this world runs a coffee shop and live on the floor above it. It's supposed to still be open right now. You should go there]
With the directions that the 4th wall gave him, he made it to his coffee shop. His jaw nearly dropped to the ground when he arrived. There was a crowd of people with their phones out, squealing when he arrived. Aside from the fans, there were also other people wearing suits and looked professional. They're most likely people who wants to recruit him.
"Um excuse me, could you please let me through?" Kim Dokja smiled, sweating at the same time. He was dumbfounded.
"I want to order a coffee. Is your cafe open today?" asked a girl.
"I'm sorry but not today. I feel uncomfortable because there's a lot of people here. Please go home," replied Kim Dokja.
"What about exceptions?" a girl moved her hair behind her ear, clearly trying to impress him.
She's pretty, Kim Dokja wasn't gonna lie but, his companions were prettier. Plus, he felt like he wasn't going to like her personality at all.
"Sorry, no exceptions unless if you have actually reasons why I should let you in," the reader changed it a bit after he realised he could scam some money out of the recruiters.
"I'm not sure if I have a good enough reason but," Kim Dokja turned around and saw an old man, "can I come in?" the old man smiled.
[You have encountered 'Go Gun-Hee' the 'Chairman of the Korean Hunters Association']
'Chairman?' Kim Dokja's eyes turned into the won symbols.
