solo leveling jin-woo x reader

chapter 29

So I read some of the original( translated) novel and i realised Yu Jin-ho name is Yoo Jin-ho. Im too lazy to go back 28 chapters to fix it so... you guys have to deal with that.

Jin-woo's Pov

Sitting up in cold sweat as I gripped my chest. Memories of the fight were like a vivid dream. I could still feel the Beast monarch claws that ripped through my stomach and the ice dagger that tore through my heart.

The sun shined brightly through the window and it was clear this was a hospital and I'm in a hospital gown.

"Have you come to your senses?" 

"Chairman Woo Jin-Chul?" Why is he here? "Chairman, what happened to those Monarchs? No, those monsters? How am I still alive? Where's Jeong Ji-soo?"

Woo Jin-Chul was shocked before it washed away from his face. "There are three things I should tell you. Firstly, I am not the chairman, But the chief inspector of the surveillance team. Secondly, I would like to ask you about the moving statues. And thirdly, How do you know who I am?" 

What. I was speechless as the two men in black suits walked around my bed onto the small sofa underneath the window.

"When we arrived on the site with the white tiger guild after receiving the report, It was already..."

"That's not what I'm asking." Curling my head in my hands it was obvious to the men that they weren't going to get anything they want from me. Excusing themselves, they left me. Taking this moment to check my status. Everything was the same. My Hp, my passive and active skills even my inventory. I changed from the uncomfortable gown to a pair of clothes I keep stashed in my inventory.

"Brother, What are you doing right after waking up? Don't tell me you hurt your head too?" Jin-ha walked in still in her school clothes and school bag. "Huh? Did I get the wrong room? Who are you?"

My appearance is the same as before I returned. "Can you really not recognize your older brother?"

"Are you sure you're my older brother? I feel like you've become different. You've grown quite a bit as well."

"I'm a little busy, I need to head to the hunter association."

"Why are you going there." Following behind me as I walked out the door.

"to tell them I'm giving up being a hunter." Walking down a bit passing Han Song-Yi. "Hey little sis, You wouldn't know where Jeong Ji-soo is, right?"

"Jeong Ji-soo? Who is she? Don't tell me you have a secret girlfriend." 

I walked away not giving her an answer which she didn't take so kindly to. 

I figure no one knows who she is because we meet at the dungeon in the subway. I got 2 weeks before I meet her. Should I start killing some birds?

Everything happened very similarly. From the rank machine not working to the chairman still alive.

"Then I will get straight to the point."

"Before that, there is a deal I would like to tell you about." I need to rebuild my army and in order to do that, I need access to Jeju island. "Please change the regulation so that even summoned creatures can be counted as raid members by the association. If you do that, then I will kill all the ants in Jeju island myself.

"Please don't say something so ridiculous!"

"It's something only I can accomplish. Please leave it up to me. I assure you I can take care of the ants in Jeju Island."

"Fine." And with that, our meeting ended.

 When the 2 weeks were up and I walked through the subway dungeon again like I did before but this time 2 things were different. 

firstly, the dungeon wolves were too easy to bet. Secondly, Ji-Soo never showed up. 

If she didn't show up then where in the world is she. Did she die after me? Was I the only one that sent to the past?

I'm living in the past now. I need to accept this but Ji-soo isn't here. How am I going to accept that.

Days went by and I relived my life. The team that nearly killed me, Ji-soo, and Yu-Jin-ho, The deal with Yu Jin-ho, High orcs, even the tower that I defeated with Ji-soo to save my mother. The tower was a lot harder to do on my own but I still manage to succeed. 

Two things I took note of is one is one the weird system notification,

And two, I kept reminding myself of her when things happened. I think to myself is this how she felt everyday.

I had enough of this when I finished the Jeju island and captured Beru. "I know that all of this is an illusion! So stop this charade and reveal yourself! How much longer are you planning to look down on me from above?" As i finished screaming at nothing the ground and walls around me turned into a void of nothingness and the floor below my feet rippled like water.

The notification that been annoying me all this time surrounded me like a piller and my heighten senses alerted me to another presence. "Who are you? are you the king of the dead?"
