Bonus Chapter: Forgot

The Rulers were shocked by the display of raw power here as they stared at the human that walked inside the cave without even looking back at them like it was normal.

Haru walked inside as he felt a huge amount of mana converge in one place he also felt many magical beasts inside surrounding Jin-woo who was amassing a huge amount of mana.

(What is happening? Shit I have to kill him quickly.) Haru heard a panicked voice as he entered the large clearing in the cave to see a blonde-haired man running towards Jin-woo who was lying on the ground while bleeding from his chest and mouth.

The blonde man's hand turned into a golden hammer as he tried to crush Jin-woo's head….

"Why the rush?" Haru said as he appeared behind the man startling him as he swung his hammer behind him but…

"You are quite easy to scare," Haru said as he grabbed the hammer while smiling but his eyes weren't.

(Damn it,) The blonde man cursed as he tried to man Spikes on his hand to attack Haru.

"Oh, we certainly can't have that," Haru said as his grip on the blonde's hand tighten and cracks ran on the hand before it shattered into tiny pieces.

CRACK*

SHATTER*

The man regenerated his arm and punched Haru's face.

(YOU FILTHY HU- ACKKKKK) the man's words were cut short as Haru grabbed the man's head with an iron claw and increased the power of his grip and lifted the man from his feet.

"You were saying something?" Haru tilted his head as he looked at the man who was holding his forearm trying to break free but Haru just tightened his hold on the former's head as the man writhed around.

"You can surely break out of it in like some hundred years give or take," Haru said with a smile as he looked at the man who was still trying as he thrashed his legs.

"But I don't have the time for that," Haru said as he looked at the man with his Sharingan.

The man's eyes blurred as he fell to the ground and his body spasmed.

"That takes care of him, now then," Haru said as he raised His Haoshoku Haki while looking at the monsters that numbered over 250,000.

POP*

SPLASH*

And all the monsters exploded like fireworks all around the cave on the spot as blood rained in the cave painting the cave walls and floor with fresh red blood and the innards of the monsters as Haru made a Shield with Gura Gura No mi to block the blood from painting him and Jin-woo.

Haru then looked at Jin-woo who is still taking in a huge amount of mana and his body was being remade to better match his powers.

Haru looked at the rulers who just walked and they were looking at this scene a bit wide-eyed. But then they looked at Jin-woo with a serious expression.

"This is all done so now are you guys going to be my enemy or allies?" Haru said as he looked at the three in front of him.

"Human don't over-" Fragment of Radiance was about to say but the Fragment of Brilliance stopped him.

"We aren't your enemies, you can consider us as allies if you see fit." The Greatest Fragment of Brilliant light said.

"Ok, then but if I see you guys doing something to the people I care for then, I don't mind adding some more dead bodies to the pile," Haru said as he narrowed his eyes.

"We only want to save humanity that is all. We'll take our leave then." The Brightest Fragment of Brilliant Light said.

Haru nodded and then looked at Jin-woo again not bothering with them.

.....

(And that is why… I shall give you the opportunity. Now, choose.)

The Shadow Monarch raised his left hand and all those faces Jin-Woo missed seeing appeared one after another.

(You can enjoy eternal rest inside this beautiful dream you have created within the territory of death.)

First, it was the face of the gently-laughing Association President Go Gun-Hee, followed by his young-looking mother well before she collapsed from the illness. His little sister ate fried chicken happily and Joo-hee looked at him with the same smile, And finally, the face of the Handsome Redhead who had lived with him since he was little and supported him through every difficult situation he had faced. He was looking at him with the same smile making Jin-woo smile as well.

(However, if you don't want that….)

The Shadow Monarch lowered his left hand and raised the right one, instead. In an instant, all those faces disappeared, only to be replaced by a humongous Dragon flying in from the darkened sky high above. And then, an army entirely consisting of countless Dragons following after it to incinerate every city they could find.

(….You shall return to reality and fight them.)

Jin-Woo stared at the Army of Destruction led by the Dragon Emperor with a hardened face before making his reply. No, he asked something.

"You still didn't tell me how the Absolute Being died to the beings he created?" Jin-woo asked the question that has been plaguing his mind from the time he heard it the first time from Ashborn.

(…..He died because he didn't do his job properly.) Ashborn said as he looked at Jin-woo.

"Didn't do his job?" Jin-woo didn't quite understand the meaning.

(That is all I know,) Ashborn said as his voice had a bit of sadness.

"Then what about his plan? Why did he make Rulers and monarchs? Was it just for his entertainment?" Jin-woo asked.

(It is obvious isn't it, what does a person who is about to die does…. So do you want to go back right? Won't this guy be disappointed in you if you don't.) Ashborn said as his body changed to that of Haru who had a grin on his face.

"He'll annoy me for sure," Jin-woo said as he nodded.

(Then are you ready?) Ashborn asked.

And Jin-woo nodded and his vision darkened as he opened his eyes to see the same face in front of him.

"Yo, sleeping beauty you finally woke up?" Haru said as he grinned.

"Who are you calling sleeping beauty you Crossdresser?" Jin-woo said as he shot up to his feet.

"Hey who are you calling a Crossdresser?" Haru growled as both went loggerheads with each other completely forgetting about their surroundings which were full of blood with a man lying unconscious.

After fighting for a good hour they stopped as they faced away from each other.

"Who did this?" Jin-woo asked as he looked around to see the surroundings.

"Who else is here beside you?" Haru asked.

"Oh, was it him," Jin-woo said as he pointed at the man who was on the ground.

"Yeah it was him, he wanted to wake up the sleeping Beauty from her sleep," Haru said as he laughed.

"Wai- what he didn't right." Jin-woo panicked as he knew what Haru was hinting at.

"Who knows he was like this when I came here." Haru shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay let's stop this I know this guy isn't that strong," Jin-woo said as he looked at Haru.

"But couldn't you have come earlier and do things a bit, I don't know more cleanly?" Jin-woo as he looked at Haru.

"Oh, sorry I had to rush in here to find all these monsters and the blonde man trying to butt r-ape you. I'll do it more cleanly the next time," Haru said with a smile.

"You did good, No great." And Jin-woo's lips twitched as he said that.

"Anyway this is something else," Jin-woo said as he looked around to see the scenery around him.

"Yes, I call it the 'Monster Fruit Punch' how do you like it?" Haru said with a chuckle.

"Whatever, So you aren't going to kill him?" Jin-woo said as his eyes glowed purple.

"Yeah go break a leg I guess," Haru said as he walked aside.

"I will break a leg for sure," Jin-woo said as he cracked his knuckles.

.....

Currently in the Lobby of the Hotel where Haru and the company were staying...

SLAP*

"I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU...WHY DO YOU ALWAYS WORRY ME LIKE THIS," Joo-hee cried out with tears as she slapped Jin-woo.

"Ok, I didn't know it will become like this, and swinging at me you'll hurt yourself." Jin-woo said as he dodged Joo-hee.

And it continued as Haru was standing on the side with Hae-in looking at this.

The aftermath of the incident has been cleared and Haru brought back the corpse of Kamish that he found in the cave and then handed it to Hunter bureau. And the news of Jin-woo disappearing didn't make it out to avoid panic among the people. Anyway jin-woo didn't lose anything rather he gained Kamish as a Shadow soldier some on his level from the hoard of monsters that attacked him his army has gotten stronger and he also got the runestone: Dragon's Fear from the Hunter Bureau.

"Hae-in let's get ready we need to catch a flight." Haru said as he looked at Hae-in who nodded and they walked out of the Lobby.

"YOU BASTARD DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE HERE," Jin-woo shouted as Jin-ho was sitting in the corner as he hugged his legs.

"I'm being ignored again….." He mumbled in a teary voice.

And the group landed in Seoul the next day....
