<When the news of HN Chord signing Jung Yisun spread>

Title: Did Chord Scout an S-class Restorer?

https://news.dohae.com/article/23886781

[DohaeDailyNews] Chord324, new S-class Restorer recruit?

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

This came out today, but I don’t think many people have seen it yet, so I’m posting it. Everyone is already panicking enough after the recent announcement of the 7 dungeons raid. Even Overseas media is flooded with the Korean raid news.

As ordinary people,we can do nothing but trust in Chord’s abilities, but you’re telling me that suddenly, there is news of them recruiting an S-class Restorer, the same one that disappeared a year ago? There’s even word that Sa Hyeon scouted him personally… what???? This makes no sense… I just can’t understand why they would recruit a Restorer instead of a proper Hunter at this point??? RCEAab

Am I the only one who’s curious about this ? lolol or should i just delete this post and munch on cucumbers?

Comments

In the end, Guilds are also businesses aren’t they? Lolol S-class dungeons have such a large damage scale, so they must prepared a Restorer in advance lololol they’re getting both the dungeon clearance reward + the payment for the damage restoration at once haha Some people are scared to death, yet all HN can think about is making money~

↳ To avoid confusion it was Chord that recruited a Restorer, Chord ~

RNnTjg

↳ Upstairs comment I think you’re even more confused lololol isn’t Chord part of HN ?

↳ Uh…Chord is part of HN, but… It’s also hard to say that it belongs to HN…

↳ On the organizational chart it’s listed under HN, but it also operates as its own organization…

Schrödinger‘s Chord gC89mB

 

Never seen Jung Esun before, but he must’ve been tempted by the huge sum of money, disappointed lolol

↳ Our Restorer Yisun even restored the nation’s cultural assets for free, so I doubt he’s in it for the money. That’s what I believe!

↳ It’s not because of the money lol but I heard from a friend that the signing bonus HN offers when scouting is in the billions; AywtMB

↳ Yeah, It’s really in the billions

 

But fr, is there anyone among the kids who are scolding and cursing people here who would refuse a Chord scouting offer?lolol

↳ hahahahahah even if I didn’t care about money, I would still be loyal if i had billions stacked in my bank account ^^7 sjgFKG

↳ (Meme.jpg: ‘How dare you try to buy me with money! 'But it was too much money for me to complain'

 

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

I heard that Sa Hyeon scouted him personally, hasn’t it been like a really long time since that last happened ?

↳ Yep, yep, it’s been two years. He went around scouting a lot of people in the first year, and then one or two people in the following year, then they ended up with exactly 20 people. iSX5h6

↳ It’s a team that has Hunters crying and begging to join, yet it’s a Restorer that gets in…

↳ They even drove all the way to Yongin several times recently, going so far to scout him… is he that talented?

↳ Although he’s been MIA for 1 year, he’s still an S-class

↳ I’m sure there is no shortage of A-class Restorers in HN, so why go so far??? Sure, S-class>>>>>>A-class, but there are around 10 A-class Restorers around? So I really don’t understand what Sa Hyeon was scouting so desperately for… zGPivM

 

But isn’t Chord … a team of Hunters entering the dungeon? Why do they even need a Restorer?

↳ Frfr, and isn’t it HN that’s usually responsible for restoring Chord dungeons?

↳ Are they destroying buildings, restoring them, and then breaking them again??? Is the stress getting to them??? bJzP2S

;;; I suddenly had this scary thought… Could it be that he’s planning to destroy Yoonkang’s office then restore it lolololol then tell him ‘It’s restored, what’s the problem^^?’

↳ It can’t be, he’s planning to break Vice Guild leader’s bedroom as well 😱

↳ Sa Hyeon possibly a psychopath;

  DEAdvh

I’m really curious about what Sa Hyeon is thinking; he spent sm time recruiting a Restorer all the way to Yongin… and it’s a Restorer who had suddenly disappeared for a whole year then appeared as suddenly right when the S-class linked dungeon appeared…tbh …hhh … Things aren’t looking good

222

↳ I heard there that some people have seen SH, SJ, and the ChrdHlr + JYS leaving the HN building together after lunch haha^^; they sure can fool around while we’re out here pissing our pants in fear. Y1HNkb

↳ Are you sure they went out to have fun? Don’t go around spreading baseless rumor and stir up panic unnecessarily ^^

↳ these kinda rumors are more dangerous than media tabloids

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

↳ Isn’t it natural for us to be suspicious when they keep wandering around during these desolate times haha it’s a matter of life and death for the whole country after all

  u1BPUY

There is also this post where OP claimed they saw them buying clothes at a department store, is that also a rumor? haha

↳ Whoa, foreign countries are all in chaos with #PrayForKorea trending, but here they are casually shopping.

↳ [This comment has been deleted.]

↳ Guys, it’s not just youㅠ, even if they fail, they’ll be the first ones to die yk ㅠㅠ ; I know Chord members might not seem human, but they fail, they’ll be the first fall in the first place~~ㅠㅠ Sbfo6

Anyway, since it’s a linked raid, and the seven dungeons would keep popping up there, is there a need to restore it everytime? Am I the only one who doesn’t understand why they brought a Restorer…?

↳ Actually, me too.. 222

↳ 33, they never said anything about restoring that area though

↳ lol The kid who was disappeared during the suspicions of the 2nd Great Dungeon suddenly appeared now, isn’t that suspicious?? Don’t be too naive… qbW4gA

 

JYS is really too much. Remember when the market building collapsed half a year, causing an uproar. At that time everyone was desperately wishing for him to come, but he never showed up. As a result, there were even casualties… 2sun is trash. Idk what 4Hyeon is thinking.

↳ Now we’re even blaming Awakeners for accidents lmao

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

↳ Is that the method for giving birth lololololol

↳ Don’t you know that the basic rules and guidelines for Restorers state that they cannot restore a building when there are still people under the rubble;;; At that time, all the people were trapped underneath the collapsed building, if it had been restored, who’s to say those people wouldn’t get trapped inside a wall or a pillar? Yall can’t even think *sweat*sweat* EdTMIC

↳ Stop blaming the Restorer~~~~~

↳ The main culprit is a obviously the poor construction, but because instead of cursing the rotten construction companies, you blame the Restorer… No wonder it’s such a mess?

↳ The Restorer looks just like your average next door brother haha, doesn’t he?

  Evma41

Yisun-ah, as an old fan, I’m worried … shake a carrot if you are kidnapped!

↳ Why are u worried? Isn’t his future all set in HN?

↳ But it’s Chordㅇㅅㅇ

↳ and Sa Hyeon’s the one in charge haha X8dIrb

↳ hahahahahahahaha Chord is fine and everything, but Sa Hyeon;;;

↳ Sa Hyeon is still the No.1 S-class Hunter

↳ His personality is also No.1, check out these links:

The other Guilds must be annoyed to death lololol they were probably hoping Chord, who monopolized everything, would finally fail, just for them to come out with such a cheat key.

↳ Chord was already great by itself, but you add a Jung Yisun to the equation = Invincible

↳ Betting money on a 7 dungeons perfect All-Clear

↳ It’s definitely an S-class dungeon, but as soon as Jung Yisun appeared it got nerfed 😱 WGqgZ7

↳ Sir, they’re using hacks;;

2.6- Extra

(CW/TW for the latter part: Mentions of Suicide)

The successful clearance of the second dungeon was all over the news all day long.

Not only Korea, but the whole world had watched as the ‘Seven Wonders of the Ancient World’ dungeon, also known as the 7-Raid, had been successfully cleared by Chord. It was a miraculous case of an S-class dungeon being cleared in only 4 hours. dbX1Qg

The HX Broadcast’s ratings hit an all-time record, and the videos posted on the site quickly surpassed tens of millions of views. The HN Guild was in a festive mood, and the Vice Guild leader, Sa Yoonkang, even expressed his joy in an official interview, announcing that he would spare no support for their special elite team Chord.

The main protagonist of the second dungeon clearance was undoubtedly Jung Yisun.

Although the Chord Hunters had performed brilliantly, everyone’s attention was helplessly drawn to the new Restorer that had appeared in this raid. Many people were amazed by his restoration abilities and grew more curious about his existence. The HN Guild was flooded with interview requests, and some brave reporters would even grab other Chord members and ask about Jung Yisun. Of course, they received no answer back.

Jung Yisun, who had now gained the interest and admiration of so many, was completely oblivious to the uproar. That was because he had been sleeping ever since he had collapsed after they had cleared the dungeon. He had been unconscious for two days and had a high fever. Even if a healing skill was cast on him, it would only help for a short moment before he fell ill once again. irHbgY

The penalty for using his hidden ability came stronger than Yisun had expected. Not only did he use it several times in succession, the scale of restoration was also quite large, so the aftereffects he suffered were even more severe. It was only after three days of sleep after collapsing, that he finally regained consciousness.

He was alone in a large room. Every couple of hours, a caregiver would come into the bedroom to check on his condition and recommend he drink recovery potions, but that didn’t make him feel any less ‘alone’. He had woken up in the morning, and for half a day, Yisun just sat there in a daze, then lay down and tossed and turned repeatedly. The room where he was staying suddenly felt unfamiliar. No, ‘unfamiliar’ wasn’t exactly the word to describe it… it was more like a haunting ‘loneliness’ or a ‘sense of loss’.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Around two years ago, when he had woken up after using his hidden ability for the first time, there were six friends noisily nursing him and fussing over him. They praised him for the cultural assets he had spent hours restoring, and watched his videos again and again, playfully saying that the real human national treasure was actually Jung Yisun. After all, there had been rumors that he would get endless offers and appeals from UNESCO all around the world. Then when one of his friends yelled, ‘The child is sick, let’s take care of him quietly’, it only quieted down for a short moment, before they burst out laughing at his own louder voice.

At the time, Jung Yisun had thrown a porridge spoon at them, telling them to leave because they were being too noisy. However, his friends stubbornly stayed by his side, saying that he was probably feeling fine since he had the strength to throw spoons around. It was their own clumsy way of caring about each other. The only way that friends who only had each other to rely on ever since they were 17. 8EoIMZ

“…….”

Jung Yisun leaned against the bed’s headboard, quietly watching the sun set. The glass windows at his apartment offered a beautiful view of the orange painted skyline. But the more he watched the sun’s descent signaling the end of another day, the more bitter he felt, and he could only curl up on himself. The temperature in the room was perfectly adjusted, yet he still felt cold.

He thought he had gotten used to loneliness, but now that familiar feeling was back and made him feel more miserable than ever.

The fact that he was lonely and that he missed them caused him to feel both sorrowful and horrified… because after everything that happened, how dare he miss them… As he fell back into his destructive habit, self-loathing creped up and tightly gripped his throat. He did nothing to break away from his gloomy thoughts, just quietly laid there and let himself be consumed with disgust. THeCXk

It was not until he heard the door open with a loud bang that Yisun finally raised his head. The person who came in stared down at Yisun who was sitting on the bed, then said, “You’re more stubborn than I expected, Yisun-ssi.”

The night had grown deep at this time. Sa Hyeon switched on the lights in the room, and his gaze drifted briefly to the bowl on the bedside table.

“You refuse to eat the porridge, you also refuse to drink the recovery potion…”

“…….” C2Dzri

“Is there something else in particular that you want to eat?”

Yisun didn’t answer, while Sa Hyeon sat on the large bed and stared at him. A few hours ago, he had received a call from the caregiver, saying that Yisun woke up, but he’d refused to touch any of his meals and recovery potions… only repeating that he wanted to see him.

At the time, Sa Hyeon was at the Hunter’s Association for the 3rd Dungeon Conference, so he did not respond to the call. However, when the caregiver said that Yisun hadn’t moved even after the evening, he came here. Sa Hyeon met Yisun’s gaze with his own.

“Hmm… Do I have to feed you myself?” sGMc68

“…. When exactly are you going to do it?”

Sa Hyeon was puzzled at the slightly slurred answer he received. Yisun cleared his throat before speaking again.

“……My friend. Now that we’ve cleared one dungeon, you need to use your Nullification just like our contract states.”

“We’ll go once you’re feeling better.” Uk7ZYz

“No.”

It was hard to speak because of the high fever, but Jung Yisun continued.

“I still don’t know if your Nullification will actually work on my friends, I need to see it with my own eyes.”

“And if it doesn’t work, are you planning to drop out of the next dungeon?” UE70MT

“……Isn’t that obvious?”

Sa Hyeon burst out laughing at Yisun’s incredulous tone. He lowered his head and laughed for a while as if he found his reaction very funny, which made Yisun feel a little uncomfortable.

“I think Yisun-ssi is mistaken about something, but…” he then added in a whisper. “Let’s just call it a bonus.”

Only then did Yisun remember the coercion and threats that Sa Hyeon had made in addition to his “offer”. Seeing Jung Yisun’s stiffening face, Sa Hyeon tapped the table with a cheerful face, as if to say don’t worry. tb4Y 7

“Let’s eat the porridge first, drink the potion, and then we’ll go.”

* * * *

The home he returned to after 10 days felt very strange.

In the past eight years of his life, he had never been away from home for so long. The trip they went to in high school was only for two days, and when he became an adult, he couldn’t think about something like traveling because he was working for the Honshin Guild. 38GAW1

So he lived in this desolate city for seven years. In this abandoned city where the people left and never returned, they lived together. Out of habit, they’d always talked about leaving this damn apartment one day.

But in the end, they never did.

Yisun felt quite conflicted about his situation, leaving the city alone and returning after ten days. After living in a spacious apartment for only ten days, the one he returned to, the one he had lived in for eight years, felt small and shabby. He couldn’t help thinking he was horrible for feeling this way.

He entered the apartment and stood frozen for a while. His friends didn’t even look at Jung Yisun, who had returned after a long time. They were still wandering around the space making bizarre noises. MbGeJ6

“Who is it you want me to use it on?”

At Sa Hyeon’s question, Yisun hesitated for a moment, then quietly walked over and grabbed someone’s arm. The body felt stiff to the touch, just like a cold and dead tree. The lack of warmth felt strangely unfamiliar.

“……Youngjoon-ie. Kang Youngjoon. It was his birthday a few days ago…”

“Is it a thing to care for a dead person’s birthday? Well, I can’t really say he’s dead either… but to think you would remember and even celebrate it, That’s such a Yisun thing to do.” VAinbc

Jung Yisun fell silent at his tone which did not contain a single hint of mocking but sounded more like he was simply stating objective facts. He had grown accustomed to Sa Hyeon’s way of speaking by now.

Soon, Sa Hyeon’s fingertips touched Kang Youngjoon’s chest. A pitch black smoke-like aura spread between his fingers, and then swirled around Kang Youngjoon’s entire body. Jung Yisun’s eyes attentively watched the whole process.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

It only took an instant for the restoration ability that flowed through Youngjoon’s body for the last year to disappear.

In just a few seconds, his body collapsed to the floor. Jung Yisun, who was watching from the sidelines, crouched down next to him in surprise and examined Kang Youngjoon’s condition. The eyes that were always glassy and half-lidded, were finally closed now. He no longer made hollow noises, nor did he stagger as he attempted to walk anymore. 1ISqwx

Yisun put his hand on the tip of his nose, pressed it to his chest, and even lowered his head to check for the sound of a heartbeat. After all of this, his expression collapsed into a blur of emptiness that quite resembled grief. He was dead.

“Since Kang Youngjoon was already declared dead a year ago, we can’t go through the normal funeral procedures. So, I was thinking of moving him discreetly to a crematorium, how’s that?”

Sa Hyeon’s question fell lazily from above. His tone was relaxed, as if he was naturally confident that the Nullification would be successful. Yisun looked at Kang Youngjoon’s body… and nodded. After a whole year, he could finally find relief in death.

“Then right now, let’s….” Z4bD65

“Wait… Let me say goodbye one last time.”

( CW/TW: Mentions of Suicide and suicide attempts, extreme case of survivor’s guilt)

At Yisun’s words, Sa Hyeon glanced down at him briefly, then turned around and left the apartment without answering. The door closed quietly behind him, and the sound of unrelenting footsteps that stopped nearby made Yisun realize that he was standing right outside the door. Maybe it was to make sure he didn’t run away, or maybe… It was a way for him to prevent him from making any extreme choices inside the house.

Yisun, who had a vague idea what the other party was thinking, couldn’t help but laugh. 3wzFU6

After all, Jung Yisun was unable to die.

Now, other than his main approach of not dying until he’d laid the rest of his friends to death peacefully, Yisun couldn’t harm himself. The one restriction for an S-class Restorer was the “inability to harm living beings of the same race”, and that also applied to himself.

With the immense powers of an S-class, also came ability restrictions. In Sa Hyeon’s case, the restriction was that his hands would have to be in contact with the darkness when using the Shadow skill, so he always kept them in his coat pockets when under the sun. On the other hand, Yisun was unable to harm his peers from the moment his abilities manifested.

Due to Yisun’s nature, he had never tried to harm anyone during his whole life. And so, even though his powers actually manifested at the age of 18, he didn’t learn of the restrictions until he was tested for awakening at the age of 20. hPgfcO

Considering that some S-class Hunters had more troublesome restrictions,Yisun felt quite comfortable with his own. However, only his friends laughed and teased him, saying that it was really his destiny to live a ‘benevolent and charitable life’ since he could only restore inanimate buildings with his abilities, and could never harm living humans.

The first time Yisun had felt uncomfortable with his ability restriction was during a pillow fight with his friends. He had tried to hit his opponent with his pillow, just for it to suddenly bounce off as if an invisible curtain had formed in the air, leaving him frozen while his friends just bursted out laughing and wished they could’ve recorded that.

But then, the restrictions of his abilities had caused him despair in the most horrific way.

He had tried dozens, hundreds, and thousands of times. Ever since he lost all of his friends that day— no, ever since he made them that way, he had tried to kill himself again and again. He tried slitting his wrists with a knife, he tried stabbing himself in the heart, he tried opening a window and jumping out. He even tried once again from the rooftop. PZk6lz

But each time, the restrictions grabbed Yisun back by the ankles, it almost looked funny. The knife that tried to pierce his chest trembled, and when he tried to force it, it bounced off and fell to the ground. It was the same when he tried to jump off, instead of falling forward, he fell back instead.

Yisun was disgusted with this recurring situation. It felt like it was his own will that was keeping him alive, and that his ability restriction was nothing more than an excuse. On the other hand, he also felt disgusted at himself for trying to escape through death by himself when he made his friends into these undying creatures.

And so, it was only natural for him to be overjoyed when he heard of Sa Hyeon’s hidden power. This cruel restriction that had tied him so dreadfully to life, these cruel shackles that laugh at his attempts time and time again. It was due to his restoration ability… If so…

‘…The Nullification ability you’d promised to use on my friends… Please grant me one more chance to use it whenever I’d like to… There’s something I need it for.’ vE6h4d

The amount of time an ability can disappear after Nullification is 5 minutes. For others, it was a such a short amount of time, but for Jung Yisun, it was just enough time and the perfect opportunity to finally get what he longed for.

“…Sorry, Youngjoon-ah.”

Yisun buried his forehead in his friend’s hands. The cool hand against his feverish forehead gave him a strange sense of relief. An apology, a feeling of guilt, and longing for a friend who had finally closed his eyes. As well as… Envy, all of these mingled together. After a long pause, he said in a soft voice.

“After I send off the other guys too…” tzSs34

I’ll follow you.

For some reason, Yisun just couldn’t bring himself to utter these words aloud. It suddenly occurred to him that they might resent him for daring to follow. How many times has he restored them just to clear that dungeon? After surviving so selfishly, how dare he wish to follow them? If he ever saw them again, would they forgive him?

In the midst of his unanswered questions, Yisun dared to hope. ‘It’s okay, even if you never forgive me, just let me go with you.’

He leaned his head against his friend’s heart that long stopped beating and wished. OsdJcG

It was a very vile hope that had him balancing on the edge of despair.

Translator's Note

Word play on thought experiment ‘Schrodinger’s cat’, states that if you seal a cat in a box with something that can eventually kill it, you won’t know if the cat is alive or dead until you open the box. So, until you open the box and observe the cat, the cat is simultaneously dead and alive. In this case, replace cat with Chord, since they don’t know whether it does or doesn’t belong to HN

    Come on Sa Hyeon! Time to realize the severity of the survivor’s guilt and pay even closer attention. Or for the companionship of the rest of Chord to ramp up a notch or 20! I wonder how he’d react if he realizes what Yisun wants to use the extra nullification for… or maybe he already knows, but keeping quiet.

    • Thank you for reaading~~ 💞 Hmm i think he does realize to a certain degree just how much Yisun’s mental health (or illness?) had deteriorated, which is why his calculative a*s is being such a maniplative control freak, fussing over all kinds of details, taking him away from the house where the source of his trauma exists, trying to distract him with training, making sure he eats properly, the random touches and hand holding, also having him mingle with the other Chord members, etc… But ig he’ll have to try harder haha, or maybe try a different, more effective method 🤭? idk, we’ll see

  2. Korean netizens taxi drivers, be careful. They use their freedom of speech to harshly criticize everything around them

    Thank you very much for the translation 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

  3. uwahha my heart hurts, Yisun’s already doing bad so if he relapses at some point (which like,,,with how dungeons can go is very possible) its gonna be terrible.

    also the isolation when he was sick was 💔, everyone needs alone time but when your in a certain mindset all it does is worsen your mental health, i felt all that self-hatred in my soul

  4. waaaa congrats on finishing volume 2! firstly I have to say, I was amazed by all the translation notes in the first extra lol. all were appreciated!!! you worked hard 🙇‍♀️

    now, the second extra… ouch. 🥲 yisun is so broken. it truly hurts to read. extra kudos on the very fluid translation here, because this part really is so important for understanding the place Yisun is in mentally and it was very clear!

    it really makes me hurt though, like SO MUCH that Yisun is planning to use his favor from Hyeon to end his life. and knowing how many times he tried to do it himself… it’s twisted, but I can only imagine now how like… surprised? excited, even? Yisun possibly felt inside when he learned about Hyeon’s hidden skill. not just for his friends, but for himself… crazy. it hurts, but like, it hurts so good. this novel is truly so interesting and I’m so thankful that you’re translating it. ❤️

    • Thank you soo much!! I’m so happy to hear my translation was able to convey Yisun’s despair properly ;-; he suffereed too much he reaally needs to forgive himself… I can’t even fathom how he felt when he found out about Sa Hyeon’s ability, but it was probably as you said, a mix of surprise and excitment, maybe also fear and relief? idk like that’s some deadly salvation right there ;-; aaaaaah thank you for reading 💞🌸

  5. I don’t know why the Asian authors like to write ‘comments’ as a way to show reactions to the story. It seems like such a lazy way to write and it’s not fun to read at all.

    Anyway, such a heart breaking chapter in terms of yisun.

    😢

  6. I really, really hope Sa Hyeon has a strong redemption arc…right now he is so cruel and definitely not partner material…and after this chapter, I can’t help but see him as a bit dumb, too. Crossing my fingers; please become a more complex character soon!
