"I’m sorry, Hunter Kang Hyunsoo. Directly going to North Korea... seems to be impossible."

Right after returning from Japan, the first words Kang Hyunsoo heard were an apology from Go Kyungseok, the Hunter Bureau Chief.

He had acquired the information from the successor of the Sin of Sloth, Luke Aresa, that the Valley of the Ancient Times was located in North Korea, and he was planning to go there immediately. However, that was impossible.

North Korea, at the moment, was more than just an enemy country—it was chaos due to a coup.

To what extent? The plans and infrastructure prepared by the entire world were shattered.

Not only had the high-level collaborators planted by the National Intelligence Service and the United States disappeared, but there was no communication with China either.

China had also tried to send troops to cross the Yalu River, but they were stopped by North Korean hunters.
