[THE‼️ F000000L⁉️❗️❓️]

Translator : Elizabeth

Manager Lisa Cho, who manages Danny Joe's social media, was very troubled these days. It was because of the curses piling up on his SNS day by day.

Lisa Cho was an employee of UTA Strategic Communication, under United Talent Alliance, Danny Joe's agency.

Although she was in charge of him professionally, in fact, the two were not that close.

Nevertheless, Lisa owed Danny something.

In the past, while receiving dental treatment, she couldn't use official anesthetics due to health insurance problems and was administered cocaine illegally instead. Unfortunately, Lisa suffered from cocaine addiction afterward.

Being a single mother, she had to support her daughter. Whatever the situation, she had to earn money and couldn't let go of work.

Then eventually an accident happened. She ended up posting gibberish on Danny's SNS while intoxicated with cocaine.

The incident itself was settled surprisingly cleanly.

Because the role Danny was playing at the time was a pirate character muttering as if intoxicated with drugs. The public accepted that post as about concept acting and no big stir occurred.

But Lisa couldn't avoid responsibility.

Then Danny stepped up. He rather expressed gratitude saying that writing was exactly content perfectly matching his role.

And hearing Lisa's circumstances, helped her receive drug addiction treatment. He even wrote a letter directly to her daughter. On the day of the premiere, he sent a limousine and invited the daughter and friends together.

Since then, Danny became one body with Lisa.

Was it because of that.

“This rotten BITCH!”

Lisa was genuinely angry watching the behavior of Danny's ex-wife, Haber Laird.

After pushing for divorce with charges of domestic violence without proper evidence, Haber even took alimony. Yet she was putting herself forward as a victim of domestic violence again and holding onto Danny.

The fact that that time point was after receiving all alimony wasn't particularly surprising now.

However, there was almost nothing Lisa could do. Just managing Danny's SNS with a gloomy face was all.

At that time, there was one message exceptionally conspicuous among countless messages.

[Haber Laird is a ‼️ DDONG ‼️ BITCH ‼️]

Red exclamation marks pulled gaze intensely.

“DDONG? What is DDONG? For now BITCH is correct though.”

Although a word she didn't know well was attached, from the title it was content cursing Haber Laird blatantly. Just with that, it was worth reading enough.

Lisa opened the message.

And made a subtle expression.

“What the….”

The content was story that Haber committed an affair.

Problem was source of that information. Said it is Tarot divination seen by some internet broadcaster.

If it was usual Lisa, it was information she would have ignored at once and erased from memory.

But being Korean-American, she harbored weak fantasy about something called mystery of the East. Because she received such prejudiced gaze, rather became interested in Korean culture.

Separately, she liked Tarot quite a bit too. Entering through link of person called ‘Jang Cheon-hyun’ who sent message, seemed even able to speak Latin. Mysterious feeling increased a little more.

Above all.

She hoped Haber's affair was true.

So Lisa thought it would be okay to watch that broadcast at least once.

“Then let’s rest now everyone. You worked hard following my broadcast.”

[‘OO’ has donated 100,000 won!]

- Worked hard a lot <<< Real.

[‘00’ has donated 24,000 won!]

- Crazy bitch… really going after doing all 24 hours….

- F*ck finally can sleep!

- Factually 40 hours no termination really worked hard Yujin-ah.

- Bye bye~~~ Bye bye~~~ F*cking bye bye!!!

- ○o。.(´__ゝ`)ﾉ Good… night….

- Not just fruitful I’m bursting….

- Yujin-nim also worked hard.

- Wow huge boob.

I ended broadcast only after filling twenty-four hours tight eventually. Adding time cut in middle and turned on again, it was broadcast close to forty hours in total.

Only then concept called fatigue covered me. Accepting languor rushing in as is without pushing away, leaned body on chair.

While doing so thought.

I put a deadline of 1 year saying won't see divination related to money on broadcast. This wasn't decided lightly never.

Because judged if ability of this degree, can equip anything within that time. At least enough to protect myself sufficient.

If growth width of ability was insignificant I would have turned direction to earning money without hesitation. Stock account also prepared already.

If ability doesn't work intended to build wall protecting me even with money.

But this ability was growing much smoother than expected.

I lifted hand slowly.

White and slender woman’s hand.

Was trembling minutely not sleeping over forty hours but… had conviction that even in this state right now if determined can draw out movement of human trained to extreme immediately.

“That existence… just what existence is it to give such power.”

I was holding transcendental power in hand more and more. So decided to prioritize growth of ability over money.

“….”

Recalled 1 year later.

If growing with this momentum day capable of acting freely without looking at anyone’s countenance will definitely come.

Imagining that day closed eyes quietly.

“Ha, this is really… what would I have done if chose Justice then.”

I who woke up after sleeping a wink sitting on chair nodded while erasing shoe prints remaining inside room.

Honestly yesterday was distracted because even police barged in. Didn't want to break 24 hour broadcast promise decided myself with matter of that degree either.

After taking sufficient rest head started spinning tight again. Thanks to clear mind could organize thoughts how to handle Kang Man-dae.

‘At first thought about stepping up myself.’

Just turning into salt, or placing curse. If only situation allows there was no simpler solution than this.

Investigation done with modern ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠science technology will rather make case fall into labyrinth.

Problem was point that whichever side chosen I have to move directly. To place curse too, had to approach at least to distance where can check each other’s face.

‘…Spark is too conspicuous so won't work.’

If using reversed talisman, as card turns into salt and crumbles current like magic occurs and rushes to opponent.

To speak honestly it was very cool. But that was obvious supernatural phenomenon no matter who sees.

‘Turning person into salt is also… leaves trace subtly.’

Never measured accurately but possibility was big that either volume or mass isn't greatly different from before conversion. In other words, if handling one adult at least close to 60 kilograms of salt remains no matter how small estimated.

That wasn't amount negligible never.

Even now in front yard of So-young's house white salt crystals remained.

Far from Jo Sung-gyu even trace of Im Gong-sik didn't disappear completely. Didn't melt and disappear all even though it rained clearly that day.

Let alone under ginkgo tree was more.

No matter how small estimated over two hundred kilograms of salt was scattered. Now not conspicuous thanks to piled snow but after snow melts someone will definitely question that amount.

‘Furthermore… seeing result of analyzing relic at museum seems DNA also remains though very little.’

If large amount of salt mixed with that person’s DNA is discovered every time person disappears?

That matter could become trigger making suspect me someday.

So worry was deep.

But realized only after sleeping a wink and waking up. That my thought was buried in one place excessively.

“Why did I dare think about stepping up myself. Leaving work I do best aside.”

How did I become able to send Kang Man-dae to prison in the first place. Wasn't it because I designed his fate like that.

This matter too wasn't essentially different. Kang Man-dae already piled up sufficient karma. I just have to push it slightly.

Problem is trace.

It was troublesome if clue that can be connected to me remains in that process. Opponent is ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠vested cartel of Korea. Couldn't avoid their gaze with ordinary moves.

Means I chose in such situation is….

“Seo Hyo-ju-ssi. Won't we meet directly once and talk? It is story related to debt you imposed on me too.”

—….

Was considerably radical thing.

“Phew.”

Finishing preparation to go out I took deep breath slowly in front of front door.

Top floor of Kkoma Building Chairman Yoon prepared. Already received contact that all preparation is finished enough to go with only body for residential space I will stay in from now on.

Meaning… right now I am moving house. Items of this house just call moving company later and move so no need to mind particularly.

Clack.

Turning handle and opening front door cold wind of dawn brushed cheek.

“….”

I stood for a moment without word and looked down at daldongne. Place I live is highest location even in neighborhood so just moving head left and right this area came into view at a glance.

Heart was complicated in many ways.

Although no particularly good memory but still place no different from hometown to me.

I took step slowly.

Trudge, trudge.

“….”

Walking keeping silence strength didn't go into body strangely. Honestly couldn't understand accurately why in this state myself too.

“Sigh….”

I who sighed was just thinking should I use Strength talisman at least and cheer up.

—Bow wow!

That moment one white dog brushed past my side hurriedly. Following that one young man ran chasing behind.

“….”

I watched that scene slightly flustered.

Halt.

Suddenly that young man stopped running. And turned head slowly, looked at me.

—….

Blond foreigner young man. He was wearing unique attire even at a glance.

Was wearing top with splendid embroidery and pattern over tunic, reminded of traveler or wanderer yet didn't look shabby at all.

Wearing light shoes with only thin stockings on legs, and holding small bundle tied to stick on shoulder.

Free and open atmosphere.

…And appearance clearly not of modern times.

‘…What are you trying to test this time again.’

I looked at opponent, Fool Arcana with sunken eyes.

‘Are you saying hesitating at such moment is no different from fool.’

Since it is moment ability develops absolutely no reason to feel bad.

But was it because heart was restless. This situation right now didn't like strangely.

I was looking at him expressionlessly, but he was watching moth hovering under blinking streetlight as if having no thought.

With mouth wide open…. To extent wondering if moth enters inside mouth like that.

…Strength drained, tak.

I shook head and started walking again. Then Fool Arcana followed my side naturally maintaining constant distance.

Like that.

Bizarre accompaniment started.

He didn't stay still even for a moment.

Performed eccentricities ceaselessly.

—‼️

Suddenly covered mouth with surprised expression then pointed at something with one hand. Startled thinking problem occurred moved gaze….

- Jjam. Ji. (Pu**y).

Dirty talk was scribbled on wall. I just opened and closed mouth flustered.

—⁉️

Stopped walking a little more, Fool jumped pal-jjak as if greatly surprised by something again. At place I stopped along and looked was dog poop.

“….”

I stared at Fool dumbfounded.

In the ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠first place isn't that not even existence with substance. Even if stepping on dog poop, just passes through like hologram.

—❗️

This time Fool raised index fingers of both hands next to ears as if he became bull. And bent waist slowly then took posture aiming at something as is.

In front of that mantis was standing with two arms raised high.

“Haha.”

Absurd so dry laugh burst out.

—❓️

Also some time stopped going ahead of me a little and sat crouching showing appearance as if having fun conversation with something beyond alley. Strange so hastened steps and approached, ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠there was one flower blooming.

“Heuheuhue.”

Laughter leaked out.

Before knowing it, was becoming a little enjoyable.

And seemed to know.

Graffiti on wall, dog poop, mantis, flower. Fool was giving meaning to those things looking meaningless.

To scenery just passing by.

“Right. World was originally like that.”

Would anything existing in this world have meaning from moment born. Meaning is eventually just what existence looking at it grants.

Major Arcana total twenty-two sheets. Last among them was World, number 21. Therefore first wasn't Magician, number 1.

Was Fool, number 0.

Not even 1 but 0. Nothing is beginning.

Fool was different from other Arcana.

He didn't ask me, nor test me. Just guarded side.

I watched world that is nothing with him.

Was beautiful.

Could feel fear settled deep inside heart melting sareureu and disappearing.

That was fear toward unknown.

Jabak.

I stopped steps. And took out one card from pocket.

[THE FOOL]

I kissed that Fool card, and expressed gratitude quietly.

Then Fool who was just bright took off hat, and handed polite greeting with serious attitude for first time. And took out something from inside hat and threw upward.

—Poof!

Disappeared leaving only smoke popping playfully.

With this I became alone but.

At same time was with world.

Didn't fear world anymore.

—Flutter!

I snatched two cards coming down fluttering from sky.

One sheet was Fool, and other sheet was World.

On World card with antique handwriting, only one word was written.

—WELCOME!
