[Hellbound From Hell]
“Hell?”
Seong Jihan felt puzzled after noticing the word that appeared in place of the ???.
Hell? The term is typically used to describe the afterlife or the underworld, isn’t it?Was this hidden ability, which was previously shrouded with ???, actually tied to Hell?
-Hell?
-Why is Hell suddenly mentioned…?
-Are we falling into Hell now that the Red factors have disappeared?
People quickly picked up on Seong Jihan’s muttering and started to question among themselves.
-Hell? Does he mean the Void?
-It must be that. The final destination of all beings is the Void. So, when they say Hell, they must mean the Void.
-But why specifically mention the Void here?
Alien beings watching the broadcast quickly assumed that Hell meant the Void.
However, Seong Jihan thought otherwise.
‘Hmm… This doesn’t seem to be the Void.’
The concept of beings ending up in the Void usually signifies death, which makes sense in the BattleNet context. But why would such a thing be hidden under ???
After pondering for a moment about what Hell might entail, Seong Jihan decided to reveal everything.
‘I’ve already exposed so much. I might as well reveal this too.’
He decided to harness the power of collective intelligence.
“Everyone, the Red factor have disappeared, but something like this has appeared instead.”
When Seong Jihan revealed the term ‘Hellbound From Hell’,
-What?
-So Hell is real?
-Wow… There really is an afterlife?
-See, this is why you should believe in religion! Or you’ll end up in Hell, lol.
-So believing in Seong Jihan is enough? lol
-Yeah, let’s trust in the Administrator for salvation.
As people reacted to the revelation that Hell might be real, some even started to joke about forming a religion around Seong Jihan.
Meanwhile, the alien viewers had a larger reaction.
-No way, the system actually verifies Hell?
-Is the system message genuine?
-The Administrator revealed it, so it must be true;
-The concept of Hell shouldn’t be separate from the Void… Why is such a term used specifically?
-It’s strange that this appears as a hidden ability.
The majority couldn’t understand why this was hidden from them, why it wasn’t classified as the Void.
At that moment,
[You’ve uncovered even this, it seems.]
A voice, familiar yet unsettling, resounded in Seong Jihan’s ears.
‘This voice… It’s unmistakably….’
It was the voice of the Red Administrator.
Despite supposedly being erased during the selection process, not all of him seemed to have vanished.
“You insidious bastard… Does this Hell have to do with you, Red Administrator?”
As Seong Jihan said this,
“Unc… Uncle! Look outside!”
Yoon Seah, her face pale with shock, pointed out the window.
“Why? What’s wrong?”
“The… The whole world… It’s turned red.”
Her voice trembled with fear as she described the world turning red.
But,
[Seah, what are you talking about?]
“I don’t feel anything unusual.”
Those watching at home, including the petrified Seong Jiah and the Shadow Queen, didn’t sense anything out of the ordinary.
However,
-Huh?
-Did you hear that?
-Yeah, he said something about uncovering everything…
-Is it just my eyes, or has the world turned completely red?
-The sunlight is totally crimson now;
-It’s nighttime here, but the moonlight is blood-red,
In contrast, human viewers all seemed to have similar responses to Yoon Seah.
They too had heard the Red Administrator’s voice and noticed the world turning crimson.
“Is this… only affecting humanity?”
Since Seong Jihan had transcended humanity by becoming an Administrator, this phenomenon didn’t affect him.
Seong Jiah was petrified, and the Shadow Queen was a Shadow Elf, so neither of them seemed affected as well.
[So… I really might not be considered human anymore.]
“That’s why I told you to use the key and revert to being human quickly.”
Offering a brief word to the feeling of isolation Seong Jiah was experiencing, Seong Jihan stepped outside to get a clear look.
‘While I can’t feel the world turning red… there is something off up there.’
The sky above, with the sun appearing as usual, seemed normal.
But from the direction of the sun, a faint red energy was emanating.
Moreover,
“Ugh… Why do I keep looking at the sun…”
“It’s really hurting my eyes, but I can’t stop…!”
People on the ground, too, were staring at the sky with confused and disturbed expressions.
To be precise, they were all staring at the sun.
‘I need to trace this red energy.’
Swoosh!
Seong Jihan ascended into the sky.
Then,
Whoosh…
The red energy grew increasingly intense.
And as he ascended, the sky too began to turn red, just as the humans had described.
-The Red Administrator is linked with Hell…?
-Did he create this Hell system separately from the Void?
-Isn’t the realm of death under the jurisdiction of the Black Administrator…? He’s really crossed a line;
-Does the Void not care about this?
-The Black Administrator didn’t seem aware of his subordinate colluding with the Red Administrator.
-Permanent Administrators might not be as omnipotent as we thought…
The consensus was that Hell should be within the realm of the Void, controlled by the Black Administrator.
That the Red Administrator had managed to create something separate yet overlapping with the domain of the Void led to doubts about the Black Administrator’s true power.
‘This is it.’
Seong Jihan arrived at the source of the powerful red energy emanations.
