These Lunatics are Obsessed With Me

"What does it say?"

With no other choice, Do Gyul started reading the first skill like he was reading a textbook. In summary, it was a skill like this:

Skill:

False Truth (S): You can make certain objects or creatures that do not exist in this world be perceived as if they exist.

No Radius Limit

No Target Restrictions

No Duration

No Cooldown

※ Only one target can be perceived while maintaining the skill.

What… on earth is this skill? I've never heard of a mental skill like this before. Is it possible to make people below S-class recognize certain non-existent objects or creatures as if they existed? Isn't this a skill that can be used on almost anyone around the world? The only person above S-class was the main character, Kang Yoo-hyun who was an SS-class.

"…"

This was an incredibly astonishing skill. Regardless of the skill content, there were no restrictions imposed. I've never seen a skill without limitations on radius, target, or duration. The only limitation was that only one target could be perceived while using the skill.

Still, this could almost be considered a creation skill. With its high grade, being able to make almost everyone perceive something that doesn't exist is akin to creating objects or living beings. With this skill, Do-gyul could pretend to be a god.

Of course, that's impossible for Do-gyul to do, but if he creates a terrifying monster that doesn't even exist in the world…

No, let's not think like that.

I shook my head and looked at Do-gyul.

"Do Gyul-ah, let's not tell anyone about that skill."

"Why?"

"You might not fully understand yet… but to me, it seems like a dangerous skill. So, never use it, and don't tell anyone about it. Got it?"

"Huh? Yeah… Got it."

Do-gyul, who tilted his head, immediately nodded.

Let's move on for now and ask about the next skills. All other skills were also mental skills. They were an emotion assimilation skill and a mind reading skill. Fortunately, apart from the first skill, the other skills were safe.

"Should I tell you about my passive skills?"

"Are your passive skills also mental-related?"

"Oh… I don't think so."

"That's fine then."

I wondered if the skill Do-gyul had trouble controlling was Emotion Assimilation.

Originally, it was a skill to assimilate one's emotions to a specific person, but he couldn't control it, so he used it without realising it and interfered with other people's emotions.

Anyway, now I know the reason. If I told Park Yoon-sung, Do Gyul would immediately receive training.

"Can I really get out of the hospital if I'm trained?"

"Of course, you can."

"Can I stay with hyung when I leave the hospital?"

"Uh, that's…"

Actually, I hadn't thought about what would happen after Do Gyul left the hospital. Now that I think about it, I also need to decide where he will live.

The shared accommodation I lived in was Kang Yoo-hyun's house. I wondered if that guy would allow Do Gyul to stay there. Moreover, having Do Gyul stay at the accommodation would be inconvenient in many ways.

He needed to attend regular counselling and continue his training, so it would be inconvenient for him to stay in accommodation where he had to go back and forth through a portal.

"I can’t…?"

"No, it's not that you can't…"

I'm going crazy. I broke out in a cold sweat when I saw Do-gyul who was about to cry.

It's natural that Do-gyul clung to me. After the gate incident, he had been separated from his remaining family for more than five years, and even after our dramatic reunion, he still had to live apart.

I remembered the first time I saw him in the hospital room. His face was still vivid in front of me as he cried with tears and snot running down his nose, telling me not to abandon him.

"Of course we should live together. We're family."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

I smiled awkwardly and nodded.

Well, it'll work out somehow…

I thought so and smiled.

"The next dungeon support has been decided."

It's finally here.

After a brief sweet rest, it's time to get back to work. I gulped down at Park Yoon-sung's words. Considering the plot of the novel, the dungeon I anticipated should be correct.

"It's the Muspelheim Dungeon managed by the Tyr Guild."

"…"

I knew it.

For now, I was relieved because the storyline was no different from what I expected. I felt gloomy when I would soon suffer with the main character.

Muspelheim.

In Norse mythology, it was the home of the fire giants. Surtr, a fire giant who burned the bridge between Asgard, the world of the gods, and Midgard, the world of the humans, invaded Asgard, killed the gods, and reigned as king.

However, it seemed like the author only borrowed the name ‘Muspelheim" in the novel, because there were no terrifying fire giants or Surtr appearing in the Muspelheim Dungeon.

Instead, the Muspelheim Dungeon was located in the desert. After the ocean, next is the desert. Even though it was interesting when reading it from the novel, now that I am getting closer to the plot and experiencing it myself, a feeling of darkness looms over me.

“The Tyr guild recently failed to conquer it, and their estimated rating was SS-rank.”

"Ha…”

Another SS-rank dungeon again?

Still, if it's just me and Kang Yoo-hyun, we should be able to clear it, right?

I stopped for a moment as I thought about it.

‘Come to think of it, the guildmaster of Tyr Guild was Jin Sang-hyun.'

What Jin Sang-hyun did in the novel naturally came to my mind.

Originally, the top-tier guild in Korea was Tyr, led by Jin Sang-hyun as the guild leader. After the gate incident, he awakened as an S-class hunter and quickly surpassed other guilds with the support of large companies.

However, Jin Sang-hyun was not an outstanding hunter. The hunters gathered around him were more like small-fry who were blinded by big corporate sponsorship rather than skilled individuals.

Being surpassed by the Odin Guild in just a year might have been an inevitable outcome. The world of hunters was a ruthless survival of the fittest. The Tyr guild was pushed to the brink due to the dungeon rating abnormality.

Although the Tyr Guild managed to gain support by joining the guild alliance led by the Odin Guild, it only added to Jin Sang-hyun's entitlement and led to his blackening.

In the episode I read, Jin Sang-hyun ultimately betrayed the guild alliance and joined hands with the Laufey Guild. His betrayal shocked the other guilds.

However, that is still far in the future. In this supporting episode of Muspelheim Dungeon, nothing significant seems to happen.

"Hunter Han Yi-jin?"

"Yes?"

I was lost in my own thoughts and was surprised by Park Yoon-sung's call. I met Park Yoon-sung's grey eyes head-on.

"Do you have any questions?"

"Uh, I…"

I looked around because I couldn't say that I didn't listen to his briefing. Then, a word appeared before my eyes.

[Daegu Dong-gu]

The Muspelheim Dungeon had a portal opened in Daegu Dong-gu, close to Daegu International Airport.

I knew from the novel that Daegu Airport was temporarily closed after the Tyr Guild failed to clear it, but suddenly I wondered how to get there. In the novel, it was only mentioned that they moved to the front of the dungeon in the next episode.

"But how do we get to Daegu?"

"…"

To my question, Park Yoon-sung answered with his usual warm smile. I used to be mesmerised by that smile, but not anymore. I looked at Park Yoon-sung, keeping my guard up.

"We're going to Daegu by private jet."

"A private jet?"

"Yes."

Those words remind me of the small planes that presidents or conglomerates use.

Wow, I made it. Riding an expensive private plane. Even though this is the world in a novel.

"We depart tomorrow. The current ripple from the Muspelheim Dungeon has grown to a dangerous level, so we need to move quickly."

"Yes."

This time, I, Kang Yoo-hyun, and even Kang Soo-hyun and Eden all decided to provide support. The Tyr Guild, which was in dire need of support, would naturally accept all support.

In the novel, Jin Sang-hyun was a bit more calculating and cunning, but now, he seems to be impetuous, probably because of the urgency of the situation. I didn't know much about this episode since it passed quickly in the novel.

"Let's conclude the briefing here. Rest well until tomorrow."

"Ah, Guildmaster-nim!"

"Yes?"

I stopped Park Yoon-sung from leaving the meeting room this time. I saw a confused look in his eyes. I approached him and spoke in a low voice.

"I'd like to tell you something about Do-gyul."

“I understand."

Park Yoon-sung nodded lightly and entered the small meeting room first. When I tried to follow him, Eden called out to me.

"Yi Jin-ah, are you going to the game room later?"

"…"

You sound like a VR addict.

Even though I shook my head inwardly, I knew what I was going to say.

"Go ahead and wait for me."

"Yeah!"

It's really fun, especially that zombie-shooting VR game. The zombies moving in 3D were so realistic that they were fun to shoot.

"Hyung, what about Jim Forest?"

"Um…"

Kang Soo Hyun's question brought me to the crossroads of VR and Jim's Forest once again. But this time, I had a predetermined answer.

"You two wait in the game room first."

I can play the VR game and then play the Jim Forest too.

"…"

"…"

I waved my hand to the two people standing there looking unhappy for some reason, and I also entered the small meeting room.
