The Another League Official YTUBE Channel broke through the mark of 4 million subscribers in mere 3 days before quickly surpassing 10 million subscribers. Even now, the number was still growing rapidly.
It was an astonishing growth. Each and every video posted on Another League’s official channel dominated the real-time ranking for video search as well as the trending charts of numerous portal sites.
However, for Ha Sunyoung, Yekaterina, Taylor Nine, Celeste, and Ye Sa-hye, who appeared on the videos, they hadn’t yet realized that they had become a great star.
Just like usual, Ha Sunyoung went to a convenience store around the guild hideout with sweats and a cap to celebrate the end of the day with beer and jerky. It was quite a luxurious spending for her who until recently lived with nothing but a small cup noodle for every meal.
Of course, she didn’t recklessly go on a shopping spree. When she found a 6,300 won jerky and a 6,100 won jerky, she always chose the latter. Because, in her mind, when she bought the cheaper one, she had saved 200 won, and with that, she could eventually buy another pack of jerky.
“The total is 15,000 won……huh? Aren’t you Ytuber Ha sunyoung?”
“Huh? I’m not a Ytuber, I’m a Hunter.”
“Oh! That’s right! Huh, awesome. I subscribed to your Mugong lesson and watched it every day! Look at this, even now I am still watching it!”
“Is that so…”
On the way to the convenience store earlier, Ha Sunyoung saw several people who were watching her video but she brushed it off as a simple coincidence. Unfortunately for her, Ha Sunyoung’s ripple effect did not end just yet.
“What!?!?! Ytuber Ha Sunyoung?”
“No, I’m a hunter….”
“Wow! Awesome! Can I take just one photo with you? You’re so pretty….”
Even though she wore a hat that halfway covered her face, there were some people who recognized her and talked to her. There were some people who also asked for her autograph as well as some advice regarding Mugong.
“Ah….”
Ha Sunyoung’s lips parted widely, even though the excessive interest was rather embarrassing, the whole situation wasn’t that bad.
Ever since she was young, her dream was to become an idol. She sang and danced more passionately than anyone else. Thanks to that, even when she was thrown into Murim, she was able to learn Mugong.
Her dream was still alive, as just recently, when Hellony jokingly asked about making a girl group, Ha Sunyoung was rather interested. If it wasn’t for her age, she might have held Hellony’s hand on the spot and asked to sign the contract right away.
Ha Sunyoung was quite old.
However, she was an expert who had achieved the realm of hwakyung, a realm that was extremely difficult to reach even for Murim people. Thanks to that, she had an outward appearance of a teen in their early 20s. And since Earth was a place where appearance means a lot, no one cared about her real age.
It was only natural that she had become so popular. It was because on top of her beautiful appearance, she was also a SS rank hunter who used Mugong really well and a very famous Ytuber.
So, while she was feeling rather awkward in receiving such attention… She seems to have finally found the reason for her life.
“That’s right! Kid, this Noona is Ha Sunyoung!”
“But, I’m thirty years old…”
“My age is twice as yours, kid!!” (P/N: lmao she’s so proud of it)
‘This is rather exciting?’
She snorted as she received a bunch of gifts from her fans. It seems that today would be recorded as the most enjoyable day in her entire life rather than the day she ascended into the realm of hwakyung.
‘I can give this cake to the white cat who is always sitting on Yoo Seodam’s lap…. And this…. Maybe for the chick who is always always chasing Yoo Seodam?’
Lately Ha sunyoung enjoyed eating snacks, and every time she bought some, she would always share it with everyone from Another League including the 50 swordsmasters. It was part of her new habit of buying and eating things she previously couldn’t eat because she didn’t have money.
After walking away from the crowd of people who recognized her, Ha Sunyoung turned into a dark alleyway. She took an ice cream from the plastic bag and put it on her mouth before saying something without even turning her back.
“Are you a stalker? No matter how beautiful I am, I don’t think what you do is right.”
And then, three men in black masks appeared around her. One in front and two on the side.
Ha Sunyoung was eyeing them with a glimmering eye, she was gauging their power based on their naegong.
Based on what she saw, she knew that all of them were a transcendental expert.
“What are you doing? Do you want my sign that bad?”
“Singer Geom-hee, Ha Sunyoung. We come here today because we have something to discuss with you.”
“Hey hey, you’ll make my heart flutter if you call me like that, so stop.”
“Leave Another League and return to where you belong.”
“OHO! It’s not even the transfer season yet, so why are you doing this? Hey friends, do you know that you’ll be a nuisance to our guild master if you do this?”
Slowly, Ha Sunyoung realized that the other party was not a member of the New Murim. They would not behave like this if they were part of New Murim Since Yoo Seodam was the military Advisor of the New Murim League. Moreover, she was also part of the New Murim League.
“First, tell me where you belong…”
“We are from ‘Murim Hohyanghoe’. It is not a fake Murim group created by warriors of Murim on Earth, but an alliance with a purpose of returning to the ‘real Murim.”
Real Murim. When those words came out, Ha Sunyoung’s mischievous self completely disappeared. The man also continued speaking with the thought that the conversation had finally caught her attention.
“Ha Sunyoung, you were a famous person back in Murim. We still remember Geomhee, who freely walked through Murim, with her singing and dancing abilities.”
Just like what they said, the existence of ‘Geomhee’ was quite unique in Murim. Although she was not recognized as a direct disciple in any school, she was a genius who created a completely new mugong by taking only good parts of one branch of mugong and combining it with another. Some said that if she was born into a lineage with decent swordsmanship, she would have become a higher expert in the Murim World.
But she didn’t want to settle down in any particular school. All she did was roam around the wide Murim while singing her songs.
And all those who had heard Geomhee’s song, they always said that they couldn’t forget her singing.
How could they forget the voice which was free yet lonely and happy yet depressed?
“The Murim Hohyanghoe is waiting for you.”
“…Can we really go back?”
“Even though it’s not possible just yet, our Lord said he knows the method.”
“That lord of yours… who knows the way to return home, who is it? Don’t tell me, he’s not weaker than me, right?”
“No way!”
They looked at Ha Sunyoung who threw such a word towards their Lord.
“The Lord we respect so much is ‘Bang Ho-win’-nim…. If you work hard for our cause just a little, we could soon return to Murim.”
Bang Ho-win, it was a name that modern people may not know. However, Ha Sunyoung knew about him very well.
Because he was,
“Pu ha ha ha! Hey, are you talking about that ‘Bang Ho-win’? That foolish and perverted man?”
“…….!”
She had no choice but to burst into laughter. Bang Ho-win was a notorious criminal in Murim who forcibly violated female warriors using his unique sorcery. By doing so, he grew stronger, and faster than anyone else. He even reached the realm of hwakyung (SS-rank on earth) right after Supreme Dharma.
‘That man was still alive.’
Even though Ha Sunyoung laughed hard on the outside, inside, she couldn’t feel the same.
It was embarrassing to talk about his sorcery arts which could also be called the lecherous arts. But even so, Bang Ho-win’s strength was real.
‘I thought he was killed by Supreme Dharma four years ago….’
Ha Sunyoung tried to pretend to be calm and said.
“Do you think I’m an idiot enough to agree to work under ‘Saekma’?”
(T/N: Saekma means lecherous person.)
In order to become strong, a female warrior was absolutely necessary for Saekma. However, in modern times, the number of female warriors were so little, there was not enough prey for him.
‘And in the midst of all that, he came to me?’
“So, you said that I just need to work hard as a girlfriend who is being sucked dry by him, right? But what can I do? I’ve already become Hellony’s lover.”
That’s what she hoped for….
“…You must pay the price for insulting our Lord!!!!”
“Tsk tsk tsk! These idiots… I like modern times better. Don’t you know that all the songs I used to sing at Murim were all pop songs??”
When Ha Sunyoung lived in Murim, she had never been happy even for a single day. She would rather drown herself in dish water and die than return to that hellish place. Yet, these guys had the guts to asked her to become a sex slave and give away the power she had accumulated painstakingly throughout her entire life to a bastard like Saekma? And it was all for the sake of returning to Murim when she was completely happy on modern Earth?
Ha Sunyoung thought about the time since she returned to Earth. It wasn’t all sunshine and rainbow, but she was truly happy. Even more so after she met Yoo Seodam who undid the ban placed upon her and helped them take revenge on Dharma.

This dreamy life where people recognized her even though she only wandered around the street…
She never intends to throw it away.
“I had never thought that we could solve this with words alone.”
“So what? Do you want to use force?”
“You are absolutely necessary for our purposes. I’m very sorry, but we’ll have to take you by force.”
“Ohhhh… Aren’t you cool?”
Ha Sunyoung smiled as she watched the three warriors pull their swords out.
The difference between rank in a fight between superhumans was absolute. When a fighter with stats of 3 and stats of 5 collides, there is a 99% chance that the fighter with stats of 5 would win. However, in a battle between warriors of Murim, such a difference wasn’t absolute.
In Murim, it was not uncommon to hear of a master who has reached the pinnacle being beaten by a third-rate warrior. Because, even if one was lacking in skills, there was always a way to win.
Pajik, Pajik!
Natural energy and mugong clashed with each other. Ha Sunyoung soon realized that there were a lot of talismans installed around her.
“…..”
Her naegong shook wildly. It looks like the talismans installed around the place were a proper one because she wasn’t aware of its existence.
Ha Sunyoung’s expression hardened, and the three Murim warriors pointed their swords at her. They believed in the technique they used. It was a technique that had allowed them to kill a peak rank expert back in Murim.
No matter how skillful an Hwakyung expert is, it would be impossible for them to fight with all they got when their naegong was disturbed. Moreover, the three of them had become more powerful by cultivating their swordsmanship as well as their base. They believed that with their current strength, they would be able to beat a hwakyung expert.
But…..
“Are you kidding me?”
Thud!!
The three Murim warriors opened their eyes wide as they felt a sensation akin to a massive boulder squeezing their hearts.
In an instant, the air around them turned cold.
They could see that Ha Sunyoung was still standing at the same place as before with the exact same posture and expression. But somehow, they couldn’t move closer to her.
Their instincts as a veteran warrior warned them that if they moved even a muscle, they would die.
“Seriously… I looked forward to it because it seemed like you guys had prepared something for me… But… Did you really think this would work on me?”
It works. In the first place, they were confident because they already experimented this technique against an hwakyung expert.
However, they weren’t aware.
The expert in front of them was different from an ordinary hwakyung expert.
Wheeiiinngggg!!
Ha Sunyoung rotates her naegong. However, it was something that the three of them hadn’t seen before. It was a completely different form of mugong… A new ‘something’ that could hardly be identified.
‘Th…that!! what the hell is that?!’
She tapped her necklace and ring and said.
“Seodam give me this… Uh.. What is it again? AH! Item! For emergency usage. Anyway, I want to test it out today..”
“…..!!”
“….But I think it wouldn’t even be worth it to test it out against you guys.”
When Ha Sunyoung pulled out two wooden chopsticks and threw them, the talismans on the wall were torn to shreds and disappeared. Then she pulled out a candle and threw it, it flew in the wind and burned three amulets that were cleverly hidden behind the fences and pillars in the distance.
After that, she pulled out a cake knife from the plastic bag.
That was the only weapon she needed. (T/N: This badassery~)
The latest_epi_sodes are on_the novel35.COM website.
“Come on.”
At the same time, the three Murim warriors rushed towards her at the same time. There were still several more talismans attached in the surroundings. Before she breaks all the talismans and weakens the effectiveness even more, she had to be subdued at all cost.
‘Ho…how?’
The sword of one of the Murim warriors clashed against Ha Sunyoung’s cake knife. The tip of both weapons keeps meeting each other like 2 opposite poles of magnets.
‘Nonsense…..’
As Ha Sunyoung lightly knocked her cake knife up, the Murim warrior’s sword bounced off and slashed the arm of another Murim warrior who was running from the side.
“What a waste… I was trying to cut your wrist.”
Ha Sunyoung was completely relaxed. She even spit out such words with a playful tone as she swung her cake knife.
Her swordsmanship may look like it was lacking a lot of things at the first glance. However, when they took a closer look, it was a very powerful swordsmanship. Sometimes it was fast and heavy, and the other times it was light and slow. It was very unique even for the eyes of Murim experts who had clashed against numerous enemies their entire life.
It was only natural, because Ha Sunyoung’s swordsmanship was the combination of her own swordsmanship which combines only the good things of numerous mugong techniques and Yoo Seodam’s swordsmanship.
“This…..!!!!”
One of the Murim Warrior quickly stepped back and climbed onto the power pole. Shortly after, the power pole split in two, his mask was also torn.
“Ahhhhhh!”
“Oh, you shouldn’t destroy the national property…!”
They judged that it was a battle with no chance to win. So, they quickly jumped into the next plan.
When all three of them started to run away, Ha Sunyoung smiled and soared into the sky.
She sprinted through the walls of the building as she swung her cake knife. They desperately tried to block her attack. And even though each of them were holding a modern ether blade, they couldn’t even cut Ha Sunyoung’s plastic cake knife.
‘I can’t believe it….!’
The three Murim warriors screamed internally.
Unlike them, Ha Sunyong was smirking. She was smiling despite the fact that she was still affected by the effect of the talismans. It hindered her naegong and demoted her to a S rank. That was why she couldn’t show the explosive momentum that hwakyung expert had.
However, she was still as relaxed as ever because, with her pure swordsmanship alone, she was able to overpower three S rank at the same time.
“Hey! Stop running away! You motherfuckers!”
The story of four Murim warriors who ran around late evening in Gangnam, where moonlight and artificial light harmonized with each other to create a dull glow, would become the highlight of the news the very next morning.

[Warrior of Murim Ha Sunyoung’s outstanding performance!]
“To think you were able to subdue them only a day after I asked for it…. You are really amazing!”
Ryu Gyeongsoo laughed out loud as he asked me to shake hands. He seems to be genuinely pleased that the three Warriors of Murim were arrested only one day after he lodged the request. Because there was no risk factor, Ha Sunyoung’s success was broadcasted nationwide to assure the citizens.
“I know you are someone different since you are a 16 years old veteran hunter who knows how to use both mugong and magic. Can you tell me how you found them so fast?”
Ryu Gyeongsoo praised me by saying that, but…
‘I don’t know what’s going on either…’
Because I did nothing.
However, it would only confuse him more if I told him that. So….
“It’s an industrial secret. Wouldn’t all veteran have unique methods?”
“Indeed!”
<Seodam… Do you have any conscience?>
If I had such a thing, I wouldn’t be the protagonist hunter.
