Chapter 405
Omission (3)
Joo Gwang-cheol.
Ah.
How could I ever forget that name?
It was my one and only father’s name.
‘Is it real?’
Real.
Is it Dad?
Don’t worry. I promise. I’ll come back no matter what. So, be brave. Okay? Dad believes in you.
The man who made a promise he couldn’t keep in the subway shelter and left.
Wasn’t my father actually breaking that promise?
Has he been alive all this time?
Actually.
I can’t guarantee 100% that it’s my father.
I can’t rule out the possibility of a person with the same name.
But.
I had a feeling.
‘It’s definitely Dad.’
A Ranker with the alias ‘Manager.’
The letters ‘???’ that had been registered since the early days of the Ranking Board.
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe I was able to get this fraudulent Unique Ability, the Cursed Necromancer, thanks to my dad.
“……”
Grip.
I clenched my fist.
Originally, my first goal was to be the world’s number one Ranker.
When I achieved that, my new goal changed to survival.
Overcoming obstacles that threatened humanity and protecting the Otherworld family.
But.
Now, my goal was subtly changing.
‘Father.’
Or.
‘A person named Joo Gwang-cheol.’
I wanted to meet him.
How?
‘First, I have to move forward.’
The System clearly said.
[999 Rankers are located in the Omission.]
[All Rankers existing in the current world will ascend.]
In other words.
The only one.
Joo Gwang-cheol doesn’t exist in the current world.
‘Let’s survive for now.’
Survive.
And find out what these beings called gods are.
Then.
Let’s look for the remnants of Joo Gwang-cheol.
“Oh, Joo Gwang-cheol?”
