I Alone Resurrect Chapter 230
Mosha Adraz (1)
“President Howard?”
Despite Kang Hyeon’s lack of interest in worldly affairs, he knew who the President of the United States was.
“Yes. I’ve heard a lot about Kang Hyeon, but this is the first time I’m actually meeting you.”
“Indeed.”
Kang Hyeon’s expression was not good at all.
He thought Howard had come to ask for something.
If this had been before the world changed, it would have been more surprising than meeting a celebrity, but not now.
Now, the President of the United States was just one of the many people who wanted something from him.
“So. What brings the great President of the United States to me?”
“I hope you won’t be on guard. Anyway, if you wanted to, you could easily destroy this place and leave. I just want to talk to you.”
“What about?”
“About the future of humanity. And about the Administrator.”
“Haa… Again?”
“Pardon?”
“It’s nothing.”
Lately, there have been many talks about the Administrator.
‘What the hell is that guy up to?’
The sudden appearance of an S-class dungeon.
Dangun’s Han Se-hee.
Even the US President Howard.
The Administrator’s activities had been increasing lately.
‘What is his purpose?’
It was clear that the Administrator seemed to be trying to protect the Earth.
Dungeons and ability users.
Without them, Earth would not have been able to fight against the undead invasion.
‘Is it really so…?’
As Kang Hyeon’s thoughts deepened.
“Kang Hyeon?”
Howard’s words brought Kang Hyeon out of his reverie.
“Oh, I’m sorry. You wanted to talk?”
“Yes. If you don’t mind, I’d like to move to a different place and have a conversation. I know a quiet tea house nearby.”
“Near here?”
“It’s about a 30-minute drive. Anyway, it’s in the same direction as the airport Kang Hyeon is heading to, so it won’t waste much time.”
“Right. Well…”
Kang Hyeon nodded.
There was no particular reason to have a conversation with him here, but there was also no reason to avoid it.
Moreover, if it’s about the Administrator, it would be best to gather as much information as possible.

“The view here is not bad.”
“I’ve known this place since before I became a politician. After becoming somewhat famous, I’ve never been able to come back.”
A small cafe located below the mountain.
Through the large window, the blue sea sparkling in the sunlight was visible.
“To be honest, I was worried about whether they would still be in business… It’s really fortunate.”
At that moment, an elderly owner approached the table.
“What would you like to order?”
The owner was a woman who looked to be well over 60.
“I’ll have a mint tea.”
“You have a unique taste.”
“Mint tea calms the stomach. Would you like to try it too, Kang Hyeon?”
“I can’t stand mint.”
Kang Hyeon, looking at the menu, chose something.
“I’ll have something cold and sweet, anything.”
“Understood.”
The owner smiled comfortably, bowed her head, and left.
“Shall we get straight to the point? I don’t like beating around the bush.”
Howard, who nodded, stroked his chin.
“Where should I start…”
After pondering for a moment, he looked at Kang Hyeon.
“I received a mission from the Administrator from the very beginning of this situation.”
“What!?”
Kang Hyeon’s eyes widened at the bombshell statement.
“Kang Hyeon, haven’t you ever found this strange?”
“What are you talking about?”
“All of this.”
Howard looked out the window at the sea.
“Dungeons appearing. Monsters and magic. Even magic stones. It’s just like a fantasy movie.”
“…”
“The suspicion that everyone is adapting and conforming to reality too quickly. Haven’t you ever thought about it?”
“I’m a person who was originally quite far from such thoughts.”
“Haha. Maybe you didn’t have any particular thoughts. But in reality, many people did have doubts.”
“…”
“How are they adapting so quickly? Establishing social systems. Handling such a foreign energy called magic in an instant. Thoroughly preparing for the future.”
As he listened to the story, Kang Hyeon could certainly relate to some parts.
“Come to think of it, something comes to mind.”
“What is it?”
“In the early stages, the Korean government bought magic stones even when their use was unclear. As a result, they made a fortune.”
“Yes, that would be a prime example. There are many similar instances.”
Special treatment of ability users.
Handling of magic stones.
Rapid progress in research and development of magic.
When you think about it, everything changed and was systematized too quickly.
As if someone had informed them about it.
Like the fantasy novels Kang Hyeon loved as a child, with sparse holes in plausibility.
“All of that was my doing.”
Kang Hyeon crossed his arms, lost in thought.
‘Team Leader Shin Tae-gil said he would get information from the US… So this was it.’
He never imagined that the information would come directly from the US President.
Team Leader Shin Tae-gil might not even know about this fact right now.
‘Where was this planned from and how far does it go…’
Thinking about the Administrator, Kang Hyeon let out a deep sigh.
“I’m curious. How exactly did you do this? Does the Administrator directly approach you?”
Howard shook his head at Kang Hyeon’s question.
“Not quite. Rather than having a conversation… It’s a mission.”
“Mission?”
“It would be more accurate to say that a task is given to me. Receiving missions from the Administrator is my unique ability.”
“Whoa…”
“I solve the missions assigned by the Administrator. And accordingly, I receive experience points, stats, and various other rewards. At first, I even thought I was a chosen human.”
It was a statement he could somewhat relate to.
‘Because I too initially thought I was chosen because of my resurrection’
At that time, the administrator clearly said that there were no chosen humans.
– Resurrection skill. It seems incredibly important, but why did they give it to someone like me who has no talent?
– It’s just random.
– What?
– The reason I’m watching Kang Hyeon is because it’s interesting, nothing more. I’m sure you weren’t thinking from the beginning that you were destined to save the world or that you were something great!
Recalling the words he had with the administrator, Kang Hyeon frowned.
‘That bastard… Was lying.’
At the time, Kang Hyeon had believed those words at face value.
But now, thinking about it, it was probably a blatant lie.
‘Maybe it’s true only for me. But it definitely wouldn’t be for the US President or Han Se-yeon’s younger sister.’
It was highly likely that the resurrection skill being given to Kang Hyeon was just a coincidence.
But for Howard, the US President, or Han Se-hee, Han Se-yeon’s younger sister.
He didn’t think such abilities would have fallen to them randomly.
‘How could the US President be given a mission-related ability, and Han Se-yeon’s guild leader sister be given a communication ability? That doesn’t make sense.’
All of this was likely meticulously designed and prepared by the administrator.
“Kang Hyeon?”
“Oh, sorry.”
Howard, the President, woke Kang Hyeon from his reverie.
“Where were we?”
“I was talking about receiving the mission.”
Kang Hyeon nodded silently.
“So that mission…”
“Everything I mentioned earlier. Reforming social systems, researching magic and magic stones. Passing that information to other countries. Sometimes deliberately leaking information in a clever way.”
Howard sipped his mint tea while looking out the window.
“That’s why I thought the US would survive until the end. Because I faithfully followed the administrator’s orders.”
“…”
“The result is this. The US has been split into east and west. Every day, I wonder which land we’ll lose next, how many citizens will die. I spend my nights thinking about these things.”
Howard recounted his desperate situation calmly, which made him appear even more pathetic.
“Well, I roughly understand the situation.”
Kang Hyeon chewed on the ice in his drink as if to wake himself up.
“So, what’s the conclusion? You didn’t come here just to make a confession of conscience. It seems like you want something.”
“…”
Howard gazed at his teacup, lost in thought at Kang Hyeon’s question.
After a long pause, he seemed to have made a decision and looked up.
“That’s right. I came to ask you for something.”
“What is it?”
“A new mission has been given to me. Perhaps it might be my last mission… And for that mission, Kang Hyeon is absolutely necessary.”
“Let’s hear it first.”
“It’s…”
The more Howard spoke, the more Kang Hyeon’s expression hardened.

After meeting with President Howard.
Thanks to Howard’s consideration, Kang Hyeon’s group returned to Korea very comfortably.
“What did the US President say?”
Choi Si-hyeon asked, to which Kang Hyeon chuckled.
“Who knows… What might he have said?”
“Come on, aren’t we in the same boat now?”
“We’ll have to wait and see.”
Although the answer might have seemed unpleasant, Choi Si-hyeon laughed brightly.
“It was an important conversation, but we don’t need to do anything right away. I’ll tell you when the time comes, so don’t feel bad.”
“I’m not feeling bad, so don’t worry. I’m just a rolling stone, after all. It’s natural.”
The group chatted and returned to the guild house.
“Did everyone do well?”
“Yes…”
The employees working in the office responded in weak voices to Kang Hyeon’s question.
“Where’s Olien?”
“She went with Vinus Karon?”
“Vinus? So she went to train?”
“Yes.”
After the zombie incident in North Korea a few days ago, Han Se-yeon had been receiving direct sword training from Vinus Karon.
It seemed Olien had also followed them to where they were training.
“I wanted to blow away this gloom with Olien’s brightness…”
Just as Kang Hyeon was sighing,Â
– Buzz!
His smartphone rang.
Checking the screen, it was Team Leader Shin Tae-gil.
“Should I not answer?”
“Why?”
Kang Hyeon frowned, and Choi Si-hyeon looked at him strangely.
“It’s obviously going to be a request. Whatever.”
“But don’t you think we should answer to know what it’s about?”
Kang Hyeon chuckled at Si-hyeon’s words.
“I’ll bet my guild leader position that this call will ask me for something.”
Yoon Na-rae raised her hand. “I want to join that bet!”
“What are you betting?”
“If the call is NOT a request, I’ll bet my Louise!”
“What’s Louise?”
“It’s a Maze Servant figure!”
“Just drop it.”
“Ow!”
After flicking Na-rae’s forehead, Kang Hyeon sighed.
“Let’s answer it first.”
As soon as he connected the call, Shin Tae-gil’s voice came through.
“Kang Hyeon! I heard you’ve returned to Korea.”
“Yes, I just arrived.”
“I’m sorry, but…”
“You have a request, right?”
Shin Tae-gil seemed flustered on the other end of the phone.
“Ah? Yes… That’s right…”
“Go ahead and tell me.”
Kang Hyeon gave a victorious smile to Si-hyeon and Na-rae.
“He has started to move properly.”
“Who? Who are you talking about?”
“Adraz, who was in China and Russia. He’s coming here.”
“Ah…”
Recalling Mosha Adraz, whom he had briefly met in China, a sigh escaped involuntarily.
“No time to rest.”
It felt like all stories were rapidly approaching their conclusion.
“But what can we do? It seems like it’s really coming to an end.”
Kang Hyeon smiled and looked at his guild members.
“Shall we go?”
