"Whatever, hyung, you can deal with it on your own. I'll, I'll call you later. When I feel like it." See how it feels when it's him.

"Insoo-ya—"

He buys a teleport off his own savings and vanishes.

Fuck. Fucking—fuck. Fuck Nightmare, and fuck Kim Hye-jin, and fuck Kim Insoo, and fuck Min Woo-young, and fuck Park Yeonho, and most of all fuck Kang Jaeha.

Feeling sorry for himself is not going to get anything done, though, and since he's clearly not fit for any more dungeon work today he should get something actually productive done.

He opens his commscreen, connects somewhere he shouldn't be able to, opens an app that shouldn't exist, and checks messages he shouldn't be able to read.

Nothing.

Just how much time and money is he going to have to sink into this?

They pick up after two rings. "Speaking," says a suitably anonymised voice.

"How have you made zero progress so far?"

Permalink

"Has anyone ever told you you're an asshole?"

"Yes."

"I haven't made zero progress, asshole-nim, but if it was easy to find the kind of person who can get into a fucking A-rank dungeon and shoot an S-rank esper they wouldn't get to shoot many of those, would they?"

Permalink

"And I appreciate the money, don't get me wrong, I do! But I can't do literal magic, asshole-nim."

"Can you at least give me a progress report that's useful?"

Permalink

"Sure! I am almost certain they are from Europe."

Permalink

...okay, that's actually more than he'd expected.

"'Almost certain'."

"Who knows how many layers of bullshit dungeon tech-assisted redirection and VPNs they went through? You're doing the same, you ought to know. Their shit is better than yours, though. But I think we're getting there."

Permalink

Of course their shit is better than his, he doesn't do this kind of thing for a living.

"Fine. Good work." Conditional on that being true.

Permalink

"What are you planning to do with them once you've found them, asshole-nim? Out of pure curiosity."

Permalink

"I am going to deliver them to law enforcement like the good samaritan I am, of course."

Permalink

"And then what?"

Permalink

"What?"

Permalink

"You trying to get brownie points with Kim Hye-jin or Lee Tae-gun or somethin'? What's your game?"
