I Alone Resurrect Chapter 217
The Legendary Knight (1)
An entirely pure white space.
Kang Hyeon smiled faintly upon entering this nostalgic space after a long time.
“What did you call me here for?”
He threw the words towards the administrator who would be watching him from somewhere.
[I wish you would have shown some sign of being flustered]
It was a message dripping with emotions of dissatisfaction.
“This isn’t the first time I’ve come here. I should be used to it by now. So, what did you call me here for this time?”
[Are you going straight to the point? We finally have a chance to chat after such a long time]
The administrator seemed to want to have a more comfortable conversation with Kang Hyeon.
[Actually, I can’t just invite you anytime I want to meet Kang Hyeon. This time, I was just lucky to get this opportunity]
Kang Hyeon could understand the administrator’s words.
‘There must have been an error during resurrection. Is it because of that?’
As if answering Kang Hyeon’s thoughts, the administrator continued speaking.
[I don’t intend to blame you for this. After all, it was just an accident. Thanks to it, we can have this conversation. However… It’s inevitable that I’m a bit flustered]
“What’s so flustering?”
Kang Hyeon asked with a puzzled expression at the administrator’s incomprehensible words.
[You’ll know when you check the status window after returning. Thanks to this, I’m getting a headache]
The administrator let out a laugh at the end of his sentence.
Kang Hyeon didn’t know what he meant, but since he would naturally understand when he respawned, he didn’t bother to ask further.
[Oh, shall we get to the main point? We don’t have that much time]
“Do as you please.”
[Kang Hyeon, from now on, this is an important story, so listen carefully]
Kang Hyeon nodded.
[The situation on Earth is turning out very differently from what I thought. Have you heard the name Agon?]
Agon. A name he’s been hearing endlessly lately.
Whenever the skeletons died, they would always cry out for Agon.
“The skeletons seem to be singing a song, shouting ‘Agon’ over and over.”
[Yes. This Agon has been causing quite an interesting situation, and things have gotten quite complicated. The 5-year countdown initially given with the first tutorial has become meaningless. You’ll understand this just by looking at how suddenly the Earth’s situation has changed]
“Indeed, the situation has been changing rapidly lately.”
Kang Hyeon also agreed with the content.
At some point, everything had accelerated rapidly.
Now, Kulsa undead were being kicked around like nothing, and Asas were also frequently seen.
And then there’s Adraz, whom he met in China.
Numerous countries were collapsing, unable to withstand this situation.
All of this happened in just a few months.
[So this time, I’ve decided to play an interesting move. You can look forward to it. But what it is remains a secret]
“Oh, I see…”
Kang Hyeon scratched his head with a somewhat bitter expression.
[However, what I’ve done is just a temporary measure. So I’ll contact you separately soon, so please take care of it then]
“You’ll contact me?”
[Yes. I’ve prepared the means on my side, so don’t worry]
“Understood.”
[Then, goodbye]
“Huh? It’s already over?”
[I don’t have time. Unfortunately, if we get the chance, we’ll talk longer next time]
The administrator tried to send Kang Hyeon away as soon as he had delivered what he wanted to say.
At the situation where questions were only piling up, just as Kang Hyeon was sighing, the administrator suddenly called out to him as if something had just occurred to him.
[Kang Hyeon]
“Yes?”
[Keep that necklace safe. It’s very important]
Kang Hyeon looked at the necklace around his neck.
A simple design with an amber-colored gemstone.
A Z-grade item named the Dimension Necklace.
“This? What is it used for?”
[That’s a secret]
His voice was full of playfulness.
‘Seriously, that guy… Someday I’ll get him back…’
As he was making a promise to get back at the administrator one day.
[Then, goodbye]
Kang Hyeon’s consciousness was cut off.

A familiar ceiling came into view.
This was Kang Hyeon’s one-room apartment.
“Ah, ah…”
Upon speaking, he confirmed his voice was working properly.
“I wonder if they arrived safely.”
The first thing that came to his mind were his guild members left in Japan, Shin Seong-ah and Yoon Na-rae.
“Ah… I probably died a day ago, so they might still be in Japan.”
Organizing his thoughts, Kang Hyeon stood in front of the mirror.
“What is this…?”
Kang Hyeon’s eyes widened as he looked in the mirror.
The man reflecting back was both familiar and incredibly strange.
“What’s wrong with my eye color?”
Kang Hyeon stared intently at his reflection.
“Red? No, is it orange?”
Eyes with an orange tint.
Looking like he was wearing a fancy circle lens, Kang Hyeon deeply furrowed his brow.
“My face seems to have become more fierce somehow…”
After staring for a while, he eventually turned away.
“Forget it. It’s not like I need to look good anywhere.”
Right now, the eye color was the least of his concerns.
‘I was told to check the status window.’
The administrator had told him to check the status window when he returned.
Kang Hyeon immediately opened the status window.

“What is this…?”
The first thing that caught his eye was the magic stat.
“It… It’s over a hundred!?”
His magic power, which had been in the early 40s, had risen dramatically.
“Though there were messages about the magic stat rising at the time… This is no joke.”
He might as well bow to Dera Asas for this.
“Is this what made him flustered?”
Though he didn’t know the reason, it seemed this magic power increase had caused some trouble for the administrator.
“Hmm… I’ll figure that out gradually.”
There were many other changes as well.
His level had jumped four stages to 97, and his stats had increased slightly.
“Looks like my ability grades have improved a bit too. That’s good…”
As Kang Hyeon continued to examine his stats, something caught his eye.
“I’ve got a new title?”
Kang Hyeon checked the newly acquired title.
First Magic Master: A title given to the first person to exceed 100 magic power stats.
Effect: 20% increase in magic manipulation rate.
It was a fairly ordinary ability title.
“I’ll have to use magic to see how much difference I’ll actually feel.”
Deciding to test his increased abilities later.
“I should get going.”
Kang Hyeon put on his BADASS jacket and headed to the guild house.

On the way to the guild house.
Kang Hyeon carefully observed the streets of Korea.
“Korea is truly peaceful.”
Even in this world, Korea’s public safety was relatively maintained.
Countries were collapsing, and people were dying in numbers too great to count, but.
South Korea still maintained a safe and peaceful society.
“Hm? What’s that…”
Upon arriving in front of the guild house, he saw a familiar black sedan.
Entering the building, Shin Tae-gil was indeed waiting for him.
“You’ve arrived?”
“Were you waiting?”
“Yes.”
“What’s this? Aren’t you always too busy to meet?”
As Kang Hyeon spoke playfully, Shin Tae-gil chuckled.
“I heard that Kang Hyeon died in Japan, so I roughly calculated the time. I figured you’d be here by now.”
“Is that so.”
“Anyway, you’ve worked really hard this time. Thanks to you, things were resolved well.”
Kang Hyeon shook his head at Shin Tae-gil’s words.
“I can’t say it was completely resolved. Choi Min-jun died.”
“I’ve heard the news. Choi Min-jun was someone with so much left to do… It’s unfortunate, but what can we do? This is the world we live in.”
“Work or no work. I was the one who wanted to kill him personally.”
“Oh, is that what you meant…”
Kang Hyeon walked to his personal refrigerator and pulled out a cold beer.
With a click, he emptied the beer can in one go and let out a sigh of relief.
“Krrr! Forget about that guy. How are the others?”
“If you’re talking about Shin Seong-ah and Yoon Na-rae, they’ll arrive in Korea this evening. There’s no reason for them to stay in Japan any longer.”
“I guess they’re both alive.”
“I just spoke with them on the phone, so don’t worry.”
“That’s a relief.”
“And from tomorrow, we’ll be deploying large-scale personnel to Japan. Since the stabilization of North Korea is almost complete, we’ve judged that we can redirect our personnel.”
It seemed the absorption of Japan was about to begin in earnest.
Kang Hyeon was about to mention Fujino Mimi but stopped, thinking Shin Tae-gil might not know about her yet.
“Good. We should seize this opportunity quickly.”
“It’s all thanks to Kang Hyeon. The core forces in Japan, including Dera Asas and high-ranking undead, are all dead… Now what’s left is to eliminate the traitors who sided with the undead.”
There were people who came to mind when he mentioned traitors.
Those he met with Fujino Mimi in Nagoya.
Although Kang Hyeon had dealt with most of them, it seemed there were many such people not just in Nagoya city, but throughout Japan.
“The remaining tasks can be handled by other ability users. There’s no need for Kang Hyeon to be concerned.”
At Shin Tae-gil’s words, Kang Hyeon sighed.
“Whew… That’s a relief. I’m exhausted. I want to rest quietly and train by myself for a while.”
“Currently, we’re in a relatively calm period, so there are no tasks that require Kang Hyeon’s intervention. After all your hard work, please rest well.”
Kang Hyeon nodded and pulled out a new beer can.
“Is that all?”
“Yes. Since I’ve said everything I needed to, I should go back to work.”
“Take care. I’m going to eat some beef for the first time in a while.”
Shin Tae-gil turned his head.
“Let’s go together.”
“Aren’t you busy?”
“I have enough time to have a meal with Kang Hyeon.”
“Tch. You’re always just talking about being busy.”
They didn’t know yet at that moment.
That this brief rest was the calm before the storm.

At the same time Kang Hyeon and Shin Tae-gil were talking.
Massive magical reactions began to emerge from around the world.
China. Russia. France, United States. Egypt, and so on.
The tremendous magical reaction simultaneously started in about 10 countries was similar to that of a dungeon.
The difference was that it contained a much stronger magical power than the A-grade dungeon, which was known as the highest grade so far.
South Korea was also included among the locations where these new dungeons were generated.
“Ah…”
Busan, South Korea.
A massive magical power and a generated dungeon.
A being sleeping deep within awoke.
“Where am I?”
The language from his mouth was unfamiliar.
There was nowhere on Earth that used such a language.
“I…”
He looked around his body.
His clothing was similar to a European medieval knight.
“I am a knight of the Empire.”
He drew the sword from his waist.
-Chaeng!
A well-honed sword shot out like a streak of light.
The space in front of him was sliced.
With one slash, everything within a radius of hundreds of meters was cut in two.
“Weakened.”
But the one who performed this feat frowned as if dissatisfied.
“What happened… I was definitely in the last battle…”
Dead.
He was definitely dead.
Trying to recall the memory brought a headache that felt like his brain would split, but he was certain.
In the last battle for the Empire’s fate, he had lost his life to an enemy ambush.
“What happened to the Empire…?”
Unknown.
He didn’t know what became of the Empire he had dedicated his life to protecting.
“I must leave this place first.”
He instinctively headed towards the dungeon’s entrance.
Despite a brain-splitting headache and someone’s order to remain here.
“I only follow the Emperor’s command.”
Enduring it silently, he finally reached the dungeon’s entrance.
“Is this the exit?”
Opening the door and stepping into Busan, South Korea.
His name is Vinus Karon.
The last knight of an Empire now lost to history.
