The World of Masks

Shortly after, the portal, which has been quietly shaking, began to tremble.

“Po, the portal's working! ”

A soldier shouts out loud. The people's gazes converge on the portal. The portal grows larger and larger. Later, when the portal was raised to more than twice its size, it appeared inside.

Bang!

A beautifully skinned arm magically crawls through the portal and splashes across the earth. The heavy, earth-shattering sound resembles the sound of the winds of hell.

“Hiic!”

The soldier who was lying down in the trenches closest to the portal screams.

The man who broke the suppressor hardened his face.

I expected it, but it's actually a lot more pressing. '

An arm that came out of the portal was just one person. You don't know how big the rest of you are hiding behind the portal.

I don't want to fight monsters. He's in a hurry. The soldiers are already gazed at by the liberated portals and the crawling monsters.

Qajik!

I put my hand in the suppressor that was left as a spare. It was Misrell in here.

Once he had disabled all two suppressors, he hurriedly began to escape the seriousness.

Rrrrghhh!

Behind him, monsters stepping into the new world roar and announce their existence. He hurries down the mountain, behind the screams he hears.

Beginning with this portal, portals around the world began to be attacked as a whole.

Jinsuk got up from bed. The horse horse and warm duvet feel that had not yet completely fled caught up with him. I couldn't feel his smooth skin. I got out of bed with a slight regret. However, the sadness ran away immediately to the smell of a pleasant morning.

He went to the kitchen. Yurin, who covers himself slightly with his apron, smiles when he sees the truth.

“Are you awake?”

She placed the last plate on the dining table. Food that is glamorous for breakfast but does not burden the stomach. How many men don't dream of getting up early every morning and presenting this award? If the smaller men who came to work boiling a piece of ramen alone saw it, they would curse beyond envy.

“We're all set. ”

Yurin untied his apron and said.

They sat at the table and ate while talking. After my meal, I moved away and sat on the couch in front of the TV, sipping coffee little by little.

It has already been several months since he resigned from AMSS. After the season, now the breeze again scatters white snow. The world was in a hurry, but the house of authenticity was only peaceful.

“Are you going out late again today? ”

Since he left AMSS and quietly operated the company, the timing was much wider than in the AMSS era. Yurin liked it too much. Despite the scandal, it didn't go well, but as Jin resigned from AMSS, both of them had more time. Moreover, I was most pleased that I no longer needed to jump into dangerous work.

“Yes, but I'm not going to join the company. The president of AMSS wants to see you. ”

Yurin's expression was hard. No matter how good it was to be with Jin, it was difficult to have a good image for the current president of the UN and AMSS.

“Don't harden your face. ”

“But.”

Yurin blurted his face and said, "But."

“It was all necessary. ”

“Never, never tell Mom and Dad that. ”

To Yurin's parents, the UN and AMSS were now subject to anger. The son-in-law said he took away all the things he had made for world peace. Moreover, anger was more natural because it was the result of so-called dirty 'craftsmanship', which was framed. They didn't believe as much as the bad rumors about the truth.

“Okay, I'll keep that in mind. ”

Jinsuk slightly hugs Yurin's shoulder.

“But first, I propose we go. ”

“Are you sure you want to apply? ”

Yurin leans on the shoulder of Jin and says.

“You're the ones who said you don't need your property. ”

“That's when I thought the world economy had recovered somewhat. ”

Due to simultaneous terrorism of portals around the world, a substantial number of portals resumed their activities. Of course, an enormous amount of monsters poured out. Not quite when the monsters first appeared, but again, the world was in chaos. You can barely get rid of the monsters and reactivate the portal, but this time you were attacked on the other side. Naturally, the world has strengthened its defenses around the portal. They increased the number of troops and some deployed to superpowers.

But that wasn't the end. The activity of the monsters originating in New Zealand became active, whether it was the reason the portal was triggered in a chain. Ocean monsters that only wandered near the coast of New Zealand literally swayed the oceans of the world. Several transport ships have been destroyed. Moreover, the number of monsters coming out of the portal has increased considerably. Fear struck again in the world. The global economy began to freeze. And that meant that the amount allocated to the UN and AMSS was reduced.

“Your business is hard too. ”

“But we still have enough to live on. The world is in crisis, so we should make a donation. ”

“Not to some extent. ”

Yurin throws a tantrum. He was not stingy with donations, or he would have been incapable of spreading his entire wealth if someone hadn't stopped him. However, the opposing team's gaze doesn't stop Yurin from fighting.

Jinsuk had to appease Yurin for a while.

“Phew. I can't help it. My dad told me if I ever spent any money on AMSS support, At least they let me eat. ”

“Ah-ha-ha, I can't say I'm sorry. ”

I smiled as if it was a favor or sarcasm from my father-in-law.

“Are you going to wear a suit? ”

“Maybe that's all right. ”

“Wait a minute. ”

Yurin brought out a few suits. After raising the dust, I started to think about which one would suit me by putting it all on my body.

“Just wear anything. ”

“Be quiet. ”

Jinsuk kept his mouth shut. The suit was quite a lot because it was a lot of money. They were all high-end, but he didn't know the difference. Although the texture of the cloth was very clear, the differences in the design could not be understood. However, Yurin seemed to notice the slight difference. No matter how strong I got, I couldn't get used to this world of incomprehensible fashion.

“Yes, I like this. ”

At last, Yurin's favorite suit combination is available. But that wasn't the end. The following were socks, the next was shoes, and the next was hairstyle. When he was dressed neatly, it was a close time.

'We have to step on it as best we can.'

I put on my shoes, and my heart was pounding for the dust. But I didn't express it externally. You wave to Yurin, waving your hands brightly, and then leave the house.

It's been a long time since AMSS has existed. Even when he was expelling Jin, he was in a position to change from the AMSS building immediately, but the chaos that followed was delayed before the AMSS headquarters.

As he entered the building, there was some commotion. Chan, that didn't end well for you either.

“It's been a while.”

Jin-seok waves to the steward. The concierge smiled awkwardly.

“I'm here for an appointment. ”

“Oh, yes. The Chan. · · · · · · · · is waiting. ”

I thought it was cool to say "Chancellor" in front of the seat. The concierge was a little blurry. However, Seong-jin was still there.

“Can I go up now? ”

“Yes, yes. because he said he would see it right away. You can go up.”

He said thank you and turned away.

“I don't need directions. I know the way. ”

Jinsuk winks at one eye with a sense of humor. Seeing that, the guide was able to relax to some degree. But I couldn't smile as brightly as usual. All I could find was a bitter smile.

* * *

Jinseok walks through a familiar passageway in front of the chancellor's office. Now I paused in front of the door that had become in someone else's room.

"Oh my God, does this have to be new? '

A small smile pops out. However, I turned around and knocked on the door.

Come on in.

You hear voices coming from behind the door. Jinsuk opened the door.

The interior was the same as before. Seeing everything that had happened since the beginning of his inauguration, I don't think I could afford to remodel.

'No, you weren't planning on remodeling.'

It must have been a long shot to move the headquarters. But the furniture was still somewhat housed.

And on a desk full of paperwork, "he" was buried.

“Welcome, Jin-seok Kim. ”

He, Sergey, stood up at his desk and greeted Jin. I smiled and received his greeting.

“Hello, Chancellor. ”

Sergey's eyebrows twitch. It seemed to have responded to the sound of President Jin. I looked at the truth as if I was observing whether he was really happy or being sarcastic. But all Sergey could see was a genuine smile.

“Have a seat.”

Sergey sits the dust on the couch. After ordering the car, I sat across from Jin.

The atmosphere was awkward. No, Sergey was very awkward, to be exact. For Jinseok, Sergey was the one who took his place in a way that was unfair to him.

Sergey has a glimpse of the dead. Is it poker face, or is it a real angel who has no grudge against himself? The question rises right up to your throat, but Sergey barely presses down.

“Sorry, we don't have much time, so I'll get right to it. ”

It was also true that Sergey was clumsy, but he had absolutely no time. While I was taking insults everywhere, I had a lot of work to do. The black spots engraved deep on his face were proof of that.

“Very well.”

“You said you were applying to AMSS this time? ”

“Yes, it is. ”

“You also said Jin-seok was similar in size to when he was president. ”

“A little less, to be exact. My business is not affected by the world. ”

Sergey nods. I understood enough.

“We welcome you, frankly. It's true that Jin-seok's relationship with Jin-seok is complicated, but it's also true that we can't afford it. ”

The secretary came in and put a cup of tea in front of the two of them. Sergey sips his cup of tea to see if it burns. The steaming car wasn't even hot. Or nervous enough to ignore it.

“Is there anything you want? ”

This was the most important thing. No matter how much money Sergei demands, even if he makes too much of an excuse, he will be forced to refuse.

“Not much. Oh, I want to know what the budget I invested is for, so I want you to send Eun-hee. ”

Of course, it couldn't have been a good offer as Sergey. I blurred my face slightly. Eun-hee Lee is known as AMSS's No. 2, a woman with tremendous abilities. Sergey's opponent has to be frustrated by the best of the best. But I could bear it. I had to. I had to accept that condition if I could breathe my life into AMSS's fundraising right now.
