“Oppa! I heard an exceptional gate appeared in Gangnam!” Yoo-Jung yelled the moment Gi-Gyu entered his home. She knew he went to Gangnam to buy gifts for her and their mother, so she was worried about him.

Gi-Gyu replied, “I’m fine. Only the non-players were affected. This new gate didn’t really affect the players.”

“Phew… I’m relieved.” Yoo-Jung sighed deeply. 

‘But that’s why it’s so strange,’ Gi-Gyu thought. After saying goodbye to Sung-Hoon, he returned straight home. At the moment, he didn’t care if the new gate was an exceptional type or that it was unratable. What mattered to him the most was spending time with his family. Besides, this brand-new gate wasn’t going to break anytime soon. 

But one thing did bother him. 

‘That gate didn’t have a huge amount of magic.’ Gi-Gyu prided himself on being able to sense magic accurately. After all, he had Lou, the Emperor of Black Magic, as his Ego. He didn’t feel much magic when the gate appeared, and the fact that its energy didn’t affect the players much confirmed his assessment. Only non-players were affected, not even the low-level players.

So how could such a gate be unratable?

-Hmm. 

‘Do you know something?’ Gi-Gyu asked Lou. 

-I have a guess, but I need to think more about it. I’ll also have to talk with El, so you just take a day off today. I heard today is a big day for humans.

Gi-Gyu nodded when Lou suggested. He deserved a day...
