My Range is One Million

“Keep watching it.”

“Yes, sir.”

He asked him to watch the machine before he took the phone out of his pocket. He answered the call and heard someone else’s voice.

-Call this number! You’re the leader of the 312 special search party.

“I’m search party leader Park Hyeol.”

-Yes. Mr. Park, finish up with the checking.”

“Okay…”

-Stay where you guys are. Was it able to connect?

“Yes.”

-Wait a minute.

He heard the boss’ voice through the phone.

-Mr. Park, have you found the wormhole?

“Yes. About five minutes ago we succeeded in finding a tunnel-shaped wormhole and the ant is now currently investigating it.

-Really? Were there any monsters?

“It’s still investigating but it has estimated a third or fourth tier monster. The cave is very small so the analysis shouldn’t take long.

“Hm…”

The leader gave a long thought after he heard what he said. The search party’s original mission was to destroy everything they could find in the wormhole. They were supposed to dismantle the wormhole and continue their search but they took the time to measure the monster’s level of difficulty since that too was important for the mission.

However, they have discovered a third or fourth tier monster.

They might need to avoid them if possible. If they couldn’t continue their investigation because of that then the best choice would be to destroy it so he gave the decision to help.

“Investigating complete! The analysis said that there was an 89% chance that there was a monster!”

-What?

He talked on to the boss on the phone as he looked at the screen in surprise. He looked back as if something amazing had happened but his expression was then overturned by fear when the screen added a few more details about the monster.

“It’s a fifth tier monster!”

It was a monster that even a raid squad couldn’t defeat. Only a group of a high ranked hunters or a mid-ranked military group would be able to stand up to it.

He then heard the boss’ voice again.

-When you find the wormhole in mountain village 0421, destroy it. Stop the search and the ant machine analysis.

-You won’t be punished, aren’t you guys scared of blowing up?

They talked about a way to block the wormhole. One talked about using special concrete over the entrance of the wormhole and the second suggested to destroy it as the boss ordered.

-Isn’t investigating the place taking too long? Just get on with destroying it!

“Yes, sir.”

Mr. Park answered back. If they had found a fifth tier monster then there could possibly be a seventh tier monster in it as well and that would be enough of a reason to destroy the wormhole. Of course, now that they have an idea of what could be in there, they still didn’t know exactly what to expect.

“Mr. Jeon! Stop the search and evacuate. I’ll alert everyone. We have to proceed with the destruction!”

Jaehwang was concerned when he heard about it since he had to go back to the other side through the hole exit.

***

Two years later

Teutuk… Teuteuteuk…

“…Looks like its spring. Is it raining too?”

The voice of a man came from the corner and echoed through the quietness of the mountain country.

“Could you hand me a little?”

The sound of a girl with a bright voice answered back.

“No, It looks like you could leave.”

Papag…

Something had hit the ground and a man emerged from the black hole that it created.

They fell and rolled on the ground. He stood thereafter and looked around. He wasn’t wearing anything but he had defined muscles.

“Darn it… I’m covered in dirt.”

There was a girl standing next to him. Unlike the guy, the girl wasn’t covered in dirt and she was wearing a white dress that showed off her porcelain colored legs.

“Next time that you’d drill through the cave, I’ll make sure it that it wouldn’t collapse.”

“Okay. Good work.”

Jaehwang then sighed as he fell on his back and lied down.

Dirt and leaves covered his naked body but he didn’t care. He was finally able to see the familiar trees, grass, the scent and the clear sky that the drizzled its sunshine from above.

“I’m back.”

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he started to think about what happened before. Two years ago there were three baby monsters hiding inside the cave. All the difficulties went away and after the three monsters were taken care of. They went back to the cave only to see that it was destroyed. He was not sure on who did it but instead of being angry, he felt at ease.

After the other party discovered the monster, they had tried to see if anything went into the mountain country. It was overlooked but the situation still had gotten worse. Nothing had come out of the dimension gap but the wormhole wasn’t destroyed. It just let out a weak explosion that triggered the collapse of the rocks that surrounds it.

The spirit was able to find the location of the wormhole. The distance of the collapsed cave was 40 meters from the surface. One would consider it to be small but the gap was filled with layers of solid granite. It took them about two years to break through.

Of course, he didn’t just spend two years of his life breaking rocks. He lived a very frail life in that place. He had no choice but to face death to start his life by leveling up.

The tier of that snake was not what he thought at all. He was lucky to find a place on the southern side of the hole where third and fourth tier monsters had thrived. He was able to start his training thanks to that.

But it didn’t mean that they had a smooth ride from that point on. A squad would be formed just to be able to hunt for a monster and that was made for the sake of safety and efficiency. Jaehwang had nothing besides the spirit by his side.

His misfortunes had come one after another. His lineage was famous during their prime but hundreds of years went by and it was all gone. He was about to give up that time but with the spirit’s support, he was able to push forward.

Jaehwang started with one monster. He couldn’t use just one arrow, he had to use hundreds of them to finish it He didn’t prepare enough arrows so it became even harder.

That was the reason why Jaehwang’s skills had reached their highest limit for a tiger hunter. Although combining two more skills was still a challenge for him, he had inherited his skills from all the masters and he was able to complete his raids.

And today, he’s back to drill through the hardships of the real world. He looked around with tears in his eyes as he walked towards the cabin. His tiger hunting skill had reached a point where it was almost automatic and now, it kicked in but then after a few silent steps, it finally went away.

“Thank goodness, it’s working well.”

Click…

He unlocked the giant lock on the front gate of the cabin and all his sweet memories came back to him as soon as he went inside. He was back but it has been such a long time. It took him two years and he now became an adult while he lived in the Alousu.

“The TV’s here! It wasn’t here before!”

The spirit yelled about the TV being in the room as soon as they opened the door. Jaehwang just smiled as he greeted his ancestors before he went to the back of the cabin. He opened the power distribution board to switch on the fuse box before he walked back inside.

“Ah…We’re finally back.”

The spirit shouted in an excited voice. It was her only joy left in the cabin after that one night where a monster broke into the hideout and broke their tablet. It broke her heart because that was also something she enjoyed.

She had suffered from the TV drama withdrawal because of that, he thought about lending her his phone but she said that the screen was too small. Jaehwang had no choice but to suffer through her complaints every single day.

She had finally calmed down after they’ve come back to the cabin. Everything was still intact when he checked everywhere including the basement. He then went into the biggest room in the middle of the cabin. He passed by the main room as he headed into the closet where a musty smell filled the air. He just pulled out a cover, turned on the TV and let the spirit use his arm as a pillow.

“Season three is so sad… It’s hard to watch…”

He wasn’t able to relax until he found himself sitting beside the spirit as they continued to watch.

“…Hey…”

“What is it?”

The spirit answered without turning away from the TV.

“I’m going to go sleep for a little.”

“Okay.”

The spirit would be his guard whenever he went to sleep in the Alousu. She saved his life countless times because and because of that, he’s used to her saying that before she went to sleep. He lied down without a thought and then the last status window appeared.

It was a long and hard two years in the Alousu. Suddenly thinking about life on that side reminded him of a trotting horse lamp. Hiding, hiding, escaping, attacking and then hiding again. That’s how he lived.

“Hwue…”

He took a deep breath and ignored his sharp senses before he closed his eyes to fall asleep. He was finally back home.

The Alousu 3, The end.
