Founded Inside The Gate

One day in the early morning of South Korea, the strongest couple slept with each other on the same bed, sleeping.

The man name Sung Jin-woo just woke up recently, buckling up from his foam while checking his watch on his arm wrist.

It's already 6 a.m. His New Job is a Detective not anymore a hunter because all he went through was already over and now, all he wanted was peace and making a family with the woman he was in love with.

"6 o'clock already! dammit"

He hurriedly panics going to the bathroom, taking a shower immediately. His wife name Cha hae-in also woke up the moment his husband left the bed.

She casually went to the kitchen while a moan of sleepiness came out from her mouth while stretching her whole body to warm up. 

sizzle, sizzle, sizzle*

She starts preparing breakfast for the whole family. 

The moment her husband finishes showering. He went to the master bedroom and wore quickly his black t-shirt, Black pants with a black cloak, and a pair of black leather shoes.

After that, he went out and saw the delicious meal on the table prepared by his beautiful wife.

"Morning dear, Breakfast is ready. Eat now before its get cold" she said with a smile 

"Sure thanks dear"

 He smiled back at her and sat down, eating with his family.

....

When he was still eating his wife finished eating her meal and went immediately feeding to Su-ho. Few minutes pass by when the couple finished their breakfast.

Sung Jin-woo was about to leave on his way to the front door but his wife notice him about his clothes. She walk towards him in a swift and fix his clothes properly the moment his husband was about to leave the house.

"You know... Don't go, if you can't wear your clothes properly" Cha hae-in said to his husband as a bit of advice.

"Sorry, Am almost late and I can't have that" Sung jin woo said while putting his right to the back.

"O geez you sound like an old man," She said while Chuckled.

"Am I? well I am 31 years old after all so.." he said.

"Sheesh stop babbling about, your about to be late," she said.

[The Queen is right my liege it's almost 7 AM] Beru said.

"Yeah, well see you later dear," He said casually went to his car.

" Bye dear," She said and waving to her husband. The engine noise came out when he switched on the automatic car.

Vroom!

"Bye," the shadow monarch left driving through the road going for work.

"Well... I should clean the house now" She went into the house and starting her chores.

Cha hae-in started cleaning the house when her husband left for work. She flawlessly cleans each room one at a time while washing the clothes at the same time like a flash.

After all her chores were finished it was already afternoon. 

...

She finished eating also her son. She went to her son's room to play with him with his toy. Playing with his favorite toy, a dragon toy to be exact. His son was laughing with joy, enjoying watching his mom playing it. 

The mother gotten dizzy from her mind like the toy reminded her something like it was impossible for her to remember.

Her memory was foggy till she remembered a little, about a certain date with a man she was in love with, flying along with his majestic wyvern across the sky with a beautiful sunset view.



She remembered a tiny memory and drop a little tear to her wet eyes. Her son holds her hands, looking worried. He said to his mother

"Mama"

She glance at her son and saw him worrying about his mother. She said to her son.

"Sorry for worrying Su-ho, it's probably nothing.... do you want to keep playing?"

He nodded repeatedly while smiling.

"Well...ROAR!, AM THE GREAT DRAGON... KABUSH"

He laughs again with joy.

She loves watching her son who keeps on laughing and enjoy his time with her. She kept playing with her son until...

PREEEEEK...PREEEEK... PREEEK*ringtone*

A sudden call coming from her phone was left in the living room. she went to her phone and check. It was her husband calling her. She answered.

"What is it dear? "

"Oh, nothing I just wanted to hear your voice that's all"

"Really*Chuckled*" she blushed a little. "how are you doing there, doing great? "she ask.

"Yeah am on a case about murder, don't worry, it will be over soon"The monarch replied.

"What a relief so are you going home early," she said.,

"Well maybe..." he replied.

When the parents having their conversations. The boy was playing with his toys, a teddy bear and a dragon dragging and collide fighting both toys, Imagining a fierce battle.

Ssshho...

Then suddenly, a small portal came in at Su-ho's room swirling inside. His mother didn't sense something strange about what's going on without even a stench of its presence. 

The boy was curious about that thing in his room. He crawled slowly to the ground with his toys going near the portal. He look closer for a few steps ahead of him until a shadow hand came out of nowhere and grab su-ho into the portal and vanish in thin air without a trace left behind. 

... Back in time...

On that day in the past the hunters, at least 10 A ranks And 8 B ranks from the hunters guild raiding a B-Class Gate. The moment they went in they saw green goblins, 16 of them. They became confused as to why this Gate was a B-Class Gate when the monsters inside were just normal goblins. They  slaughter all the monsters within anyway without a break of injury and went to the next stage. When they keep on walking and killing some goblin on their way, they saw a boss room right ahead. They took a little peek and see-through. The boss was a big red goblin chief and consist of 10 red goblins Guarding him.

A rank Hunter leader said" OK guys were gonna kill that boss no matter what"

Everyone "YEAH!"

"OK, Tanks. you guys move front first so that the red goblin will get distracted while protecting the mages... then mages ready your spell to launch an attack spell for the boss. when you guys distracted them, we're gonna kill the all minions first and then kill the boss immediately"

"Ok, "Everyone said.

"Alright... Charge!"

Everyone charge in and attack the red goblins along with the boss according to their strategy. the battle kept on fighting, kept raging on and on for hours until it's finally over.

"Phew, it's already over, the boss was difficult to defeat, I understand why this Gate is a B-Class"

"No kidding, it almost killed me"

"Hah, if your talking about getting killed will you be able to survive the Jeju island"

"No fucking way there's no way to avoid death about that... One ant boss was insane"

"I know right only that ant almost massacre half of the S-Rank hunters"

"But only S-Rank Sung Jin-woo manage to defeat it"

"Yeah no joke that mage has the strength of a fighter and move like an assassin, that guy is no joke"

"He can also summon a thousand summons without breaking a sweat... like a piece of cake, Well hunters like us can only manage to summon only 1 or 2"

"Well... he did defeat a special authority rank hunter, Thomas Andre from the scavenger guild using his abilities "

"He is the 6th special authority rank hunter from our country"

"We're lucky that we have a hunter that can block an S-Class Gate"

"Hey guys, have you heard that Sung Jin-woo and hunter Cha hae-in are dating"

"Yeah!.. at the park, man they are worthy to be called the strongest couple"

"Bro it's not yet confirmed if they're dating"

"But bro, still..."

"Will you stop talking guys and more working, we have to collect the crystal before the gate closed"

"Yeah, yeah," Everyone said with a sigh.

When the hunters kept on collecting crystals from the Gate. They saw something behind that giant crystal. The hunters look closer about that dark small figure laying to the ground behind the giant crystal.

"Is that a monster? "

"If it was a monster then why didn't attack us or ambush us at some point"

"If that's the case then we should... "

Then suddenly, they felt something off about the atmosphere, it was cold and chilly lurking inside the Dungeon boss room. They were afraid of where this power coming from. Then a dark figure was about to stand up with a powerful dark aura like a shadow pop out. The hunters were afraid to look at it, about the small figure. One of the hunters shouted in fear.

"Who are you... reveal yourself!"

The hunters were completely afraid of the small figure. It started to move while opening its Blue glowing eyes walking through the surface of the ground cave making a sound, on each step. The small figure walks among the shadows of the dark cave While a shadow behind it grows bigger and bigger than ever before. The hunters piss their pants and tremble in fear of what kind of monster they're up against. They suffocate in fear having a hard time breathing the air inside the gate till then suddenly. When the figure came out.



It was just a boy who came out among the shadows. When the hunters saw him, His shadows grow smaller and vanish away like it was never there. The hunters were not scared anymore but shocked.

"How the fuck is this boy doing here"

"Did anyone brought a kid inside a gate?"

"No of course not, why would anyone brought a kid inside a gate"

"Then how can you explain this"

"Well I don't know, you tell me"

"Did somebody left him here"

" if so he should older by now but still..."

The hunters were still shocked that the boy was found inside a gate for the first time in history. They're wondering how did even a child get here inside a gate.

"Guys maybe it's a monster but still a kid"

"What are you talking about can you guess it by looking at him, it clears to me it's a Korean child"

"Then we should report this from the outside we don't know what happens but it seems this boy is a victim"

The leader of this attack force brought the child from the Gate and inform the monitoring division fast.

They grab there one sack of Magic crystal walking across the Rocky cave quickly reaching the exit.

When they came out from the Gate, the leader of the attack force went towards the female agent from the monitoring division informing of what they have found.

"What the!... where did get this boy?" the female agent ask.

"Inside the Gate Mam," The Hunter Leader said.

"What? you found him inside the Gate?"

"Yes, We don't know how to explain this but... one thing for certain is that this boy is a victim"

"Alright, I should inform the Chairman right away"

"what about the boy, mam"

"I should inform him first but.. you should bring him to your guild and tell your guild master about this until am done with my report"

"OK? Will do? "

The monitoring division making its way to the hunter association headquarters. The female agent called the Chairman while getting inside the car.

PHREEK... PHREEK... PHEEK*ringtone*

"Yes, what is it? "

"Sir, I have something to report"

"Speak up"

"They found a boy Inside a Gate"

Chairman Woo Jin Cheol was shocked coming from her report while he stood and slam the desk.

"How old is the boy?"

"Well Sir, the boy seems to be two years old"

"WHAT! How was he able to survive inside a gate?"

"I don't know sir... I don't know what happen to him coming inside so I can't explain anything further"

He remain silent for a few seconds and said.

"Well thank you for informing me. Tell me the rest when you're about to reach the association"

"Will do sir"

The female agent of the monitoring division ended her call. The Chairman was completely stunned from hearing it. The boy managed to survive inside a gate alone fill with monsters despite his current age. He sat down calmly, putting both hands together on the desk while murmuring.

"How was that boy still alive even now that would be impossible to survive inside a gate in such age but... "

He is still thinking about the current incident despite being hard to believe to hear the news. He called through the telephone.

*Ringtone*

He answered.

"Yes sir?"

"I have a task to give you"

"What is it, Sir?"

"Can you find this information about the boy's back story and also his parents"

"Who is the kid your looking for, Sir?"

"Don't worry, one of the employees will come to tell you the report soon, if you know anything to report to me at once"

"Yes sir"

The call ended.

He immediately followed his task, pressing his buttons from his computer working on it. The chairman continues to speak his thoughts alone in his office and said.

"I have to find his parents maybe there were worried about their lost son"

... Night...

At the time from guild building from the hunters guild and its already evening. the hunters brought the boy inside the guild building and he said.

"This is our guild, do you like it," Hunter A said.

The boy nodded repeatedly

"Glad you like it, kid," he said.

"Wow that kid understands you very well," Hunter B said.

"Why? "

"kids sometimes need time to understand what we're saying but for him, he understood us very clearly"

"Then this child must be quite smart maybe I should be the one to adopt him"

The child acted cautiously by spinning his head.

"What?"

"Hah, I think this kid doesn't like you" he smirks.

"Shut Up!"

The man in glasses appeared in front of the guild's building walking towards the two hunters carrying a child in arms.

"Hello, Hunters... And who's the kid?" the guild master said with a smile on his chin.

"Sir, This is the kid who was found inside the B-Class Gate," Hunter A said.

"Oh, is that so.. Interesting... We should talk elsewhere shall we" Choi Jong-in said.

"Yes sir, "both of them said.

The hunters as well as the child went to the elevator going to the top floor from the Hunters guild building.

Few minutes of waiting, they arrived on the floor walking through his office. When they enter the office, the guild master said.

"Alright, gentlemen take a sit," He said while he smiled at them.

"Thank you, sir," Both of them said.

Both hunters sat down immediately to the couch while the guild master was preparing the tea.

"By the way where is the rest of the hunters?" he gave the tea for the two hunters.

"They already went home Sir, "Hunter A said.

"I see... So why did you brought that boy in our guild then?"

"The woman from monitoring division said to bring him from our guild so... "

He cut off the conversation and said.

"It doesn't make sense that the Association sends this boy to our guild, shouldn't be the association job to take this boy to their custody, then why they send this boy to us? "

"Umm sir... "both with sweats

"Even I don't know what to do to help the boy nor our members,  if they're available to take him if they can"

"What about finding his parent's sir?"

"I called the Association and they told me everything that was going on...but when they were looking for his parents, they haven't able to contact them"

"Seriously sir?!"

"Yes, I think his parents are also missing inside the gate"

"What should we do sir? We can't just leave him"

"Did I say that?" The man in glasses said.

"No sir"

"Well, what about you two can you take care of this boy," The ultimate soldier said to the hunters.

"We can but..."

The ultimate soldier raises an eyebrow higher with a confused look.

"What's the matter, Hunters? "He asks.

"Well this boy doesn't want us, sir"

"Oh, quite a fellow... I see so this boy doesn't want you, Hunters?" Choi Jong-in said.

"It seems that way, "Hunter A said.

"This kid is quite picky though"

Hunter B said.

"Picky you say?"Choi Jong-in said.

The moment he was about to say a word. The door open widely coming inside the office. It was a beautiful woman with short hair blond, in a white T-shirt, Black pants, and black shoes walking towards the guild master giving the paperwork to his table before she go home early. The Boy kept on staring at her.

"Here you go sir," she said.

"Thank you, Hunter Cha, "The ultimate soldier said.

"Did I enter the wrong time? "She asks.

"No you didn't it was the perfect time" he replied.

"OK, then I should take my leave..." The moment she smells the scent, it doesn't stink anymore.

"What the?! Is Sung Jin-woo here but why would be here in the hunters guild" her thoughts.

She started to be curious about the scent so she asks her boss.

"Is Sung jin-woo here by any chance?"

"No why would he be here if he was? "He said with a confused look.

She smell again still doesn't stink.

"If Sung Jin-Woo is not here then who is? " her thoughts.

"Oh, by the way, Hunter Cha, I have to tell you something, "the guild master said.

"What is it? "she asks.

He raises his pointed finger pointed straight at the young boy.

"A boy? What about it sir?" She asks.

"Well simply to tell you the truth that boy was founded Inside a Gate"

"SERIOUSLY?!" She was surprised.

"Yeah" he grins.

"How was he able to survive anyway?" she asks.

"Well I don't know either, I'd ask the association about it and they haven't been able to explain this... and the Association, The Government, and the Police department was looking for his parents but they have no clue who is the owner of this boy"

"Seriously that much extent, it must be difficult to find them, maybe his parents were gone missing too," she said.

"Who knows... maybe we should found out sooner or later"

"Then who's going to take care of him?" she asks.

"Well I don't know either, for starters not those hunters, nor our members, nor me... these hunters told me that this boy was picky," the ultimate soldier said.

"Picky?" she asks.

The moment the guild master was about to Explain furthermore to the female hunter, the young boy said something inappropriate in front of the woman and the others. He said.

"Mama"

He meant to Cha hae-in the female S-rank hunter. Everyone in the office was completely shocked from hearing the boy phrase in front of her.

"Did this kid just said mama just now?"

"I'm not the only one right?"

"Well you're not the only one, I have never thought the boy said it was meant to her, it was awkward" *Chuckled* Choi Jong-in said.

"Sir, Did the boy referring to me right? "She was shocked and completely blushed.

"Yes, he was referring to you, Hunter Cha... It seems you will be the one to took care of him "

"But sir am inexperienced"

"Hunter Cha, there's no one in the guild who can take care of a boy like him instead he chose you so.. "

"But I can't.... "

"Mama," the boy said to her again.

The blonde woman look at the boy staring at his adorable innocent eyes sparkling around his face, can't able to resist his cuteness and his presence. 

She smells the familiar scent coming from the boy who doesn't stink also like someone she knows and he is too cute to leave him alone to let the association take him to their custody. 

She stares at the boy longer until she can't resist his sparkling eyes and was unable to deny his request, her feelings right now were holding her decision to volunteer to take care of him.

"Oh well, since Hunter Cha refuses his request, I should call the association to get him from our guild... what a shame"He smiles with a suspicious face.

"Sir I'll do it even though he doesn't like the idea"

"No your going to raid the gate tomorrow so I don't know you have the time"

"Then what about you hunter shin?"

"I can't you know I have three children at home so I don't know if I can work with four children the amount of money I have now furthermore am going to raid tomorrow as well"

"Damn"

"So no other suggestions hunters"

she couldn't hold it much longer, she surrenders and made up her decision. She said it at loud to Choi Jong-in.

"Fine! I'll do it" she blushed so hard, she even covered her face.



"Wise choice Hunter Cha, Thank you for taking care of the boy" he grin.

"Oh shut up, I'm not doing it for your sake, I'm only doing it because he's a kid and no one is willing to help him so... I'll do it"

"Oh... for his sake we'll... You will have your day-off tomorrow and Don't worry about your funds, you will have extra funds this year if you carried the mission with you" He cruelly smirk at the female hunter.

"OH shut up! we're leaving" She blushed hard while she shouted.

She quickly held the boy from the two hunters. She walk towards the exit from his office and slammed the door.

BANG!

"Bye Hunter Cha," He said goodbye to the female hunter with a grin.

"Is she going to be OK sir? "Hunter A asks.

"I know she can handle herself the moment she became the mother of the lost child"
