I’m the only magic tower owner episode 183
“But if we push ahead with this, don’t you think the backlash will be crazy?”
Frost’s policies were somewhat too radical. Ea also nodded at my words.
“There is resistance, but the situation is turning out more strangely than expected.”
“Is it strange?”
EA floated a statistical data screen in the air.
“The public’s reaction is not as bad as we thought.”
Jeong Seo-jin, who was looking at the screen with a serious expression, pushed up his glasses.
“Hmm, I see. Excluding star hunters, the public’s current perception of general hunters is not very good. Recently, it has emerged as a social issue several times.”
It is quite common in today’s world for hunters to save citizens and ask for money or valuables, or to make unfair demands on citizens by abusing the hunter’s ‘on-site command authority’ in an emergency.
In the past, when I was working in Harlem, where I brought Eunsol, I received a death threat from a certified level 5 hunter named Ma Jong-guk. Perhaps it was because of the ‘first discoverer’ rights.
Well, there were a lot of people back then.
Above all, hunters are armed.
Monsters with enough power to decapitate civilians with a snap of their fingers.
The fear citizens feel when they encounter hunters is on a different level from the fear they feel when they see police officers with guns on the streets.
As the evil deeds of hunters frequently emerge as a social problem, there are quite a few people with hunter phobia.
“But if the policy is reformed like it is now, the position will be reversed. Defense service, not business. In other words, civilians who pay taxes will be the ‘better’.”
“So you’re saying that ordinary civilians agree?”
“Yes. Many civilians agree with the need to put leashes on hunters.”
No matter how many players and hunters there are, there are far more unawakened civilians.
The majority of the people support Frost’s policies, and President Park Jeong-yang and the ruling party absolutely support Frost.
Hunters are in a position where they have to criticize them.
“Seojin.”
“yes.”
“what do you think?”
Jeong Seo-jin closed his eyes for a moment as if he was organizing his thoughts in his head.
“Nationalist Hunter Policy. It is a policy that is already being implemented in some countries, such as China and Russia. It has its own advantages and disadvantages. I have nothing to say about the policy itself, but the problem is this policy. “It must be the intention of the person leading the project.”
“Frost’s intentions?”
“Yes. He never wanted to create hunters for the country. I know him better than anyone else.”
Jeong Seo-jin’s eyes filled with strength.
“A hunter who put the country first, but in reality will fight for himself. He is a man who can get away with being a dictator for his own needs, not for the country.”
“……hmm.”
I crossed my arms and was lost in thought.
This is what Frost’s family says before it’s my accountant. As Jeong Seo-jin said, I think this is a dangerous development in many ways.
“Tapju.”
Ea, who was browsing the Internet, spoke up.
“what’s the matter?”
“I found a problem. Please look at Frost’s training policy here.”
I looked at her new hologram screen.
[Reorganization of licensed player policy.]
: We will improve the current inefficient licensed player policy and focus on nurturing excellent growth resources to train them into certified hunters.
When I heard that the licensed player policy was being revamped, I thought there would be a more friendly policy for the non-combat community, but it was the opposite.
The policies are really clever.
If you read it without thinking, you wonder what will change, but if you look closely at the details, it says that non-combat players will have fewer opportunities to enter hunting grounds in the future.
There was a waiting time to enter hunting grounds and dungeons, and even the document procedures for entering dungeons became complicated. There is even talk of raising the standards for ‘other than power’.
On the other hand, combat players are given priority to enter the dungeon. This is a blatantly discriminatory policy.
‘I plan to exclude the non-combat world and focus on growing the combat world.’
Magic has appeared in the world. Among those who use magic, there are also those who passed the official exam. The era is coming when non-combatants who are walking the path of wizards with hope will once again have to shed tears of blood.
This really makes me angry. Why is everyone so upset that they can’t catch non-combat kids?
Jeong Jeong-jin, who was reading the article, also sighed.
“This is an issue that hunters other than the non-combat community would welcome.”
“That’s right.”
It’s good for general hunters to have a wider hunting ground, and it’s good for guilds to be able to quickly raise their prospects. It is a policy that there is no reason to oppose, and that makes it feel more dangerous.
“Tap owner. Please take a look at this too.”
The moment I saw the new hologram screen displayed by EA, my expression hardened.
[Potion regulatory policy.]
[Magic regulation policy.]
‘This is a policy that openly targets me.’
: It has been confirmed that several reports have been made to the association regarding side effects from taking potions in the dungeon. The safety of the potion has not yet been confirmed, and suspicions have been raised that the former Hunter Association skipped verification of the potion. A comprehensive review is scheduled to be carried out.
Magic had similar content. This means that there is a need for more verification of the stability and effectiveness of magic, which is gaining sensational popularity among young people.
I was persistent. Frost is still pointing the gun at me, but I never know when or where he might suddenly pull the trigger.
‘The real regime has changed.’
I suddenly feel like I can’t breathe.
Was the position of Hunter Association President like this?
I am realizing how much Hongyul has favored and supported me during this time.
The current administration is trying to impose regulations on potions, non-combat areas, and even magic, which are the sources of my power. I feel that my position as a magic tower owner is decreasing in real time.
“Lord Tower.”
“why?”

The moment I looked back at Jeong Seo-jin, I felt my heart sink.
Before the Immortal disaster began, Jeong Seo-jin was making that exact expression.
“I will meet Frost and negotiate.”
“hey.”
I put my hand on his shoulder.
“Seojin. Look straight at my face.”
He raised his head.
“You’re not really feeling guilty, are you?”
“…….”
“It didn’t happen because of you. Frost is carrying out this policy with the intention of eliminating the remnants of the previous regime and subjugating the pro-Hongyul faction. You know that, right?”
“……yes.”
“Whatever it is, I decided to fight Unix from the moment I had you. It’s just that it happened a little earlier. And just in case, I decided to do it even though I knew it would end up like this. You are worth more than turning Unix into an enemy. “Don’t feel guilty.”
“……yes.”
I tapped Jeong Seo-jin on the shoulder and turned my head.
“Ah.”
“Yes, top owner.”
“There is no time. If the Association President is truly trapped in Frost’s trap, we must somehow rescue him before it is too late.”
“I have confirmed the instructions of the tower owner. Please just give orders.”
I took a breath and spoke.
“This disaster is over in Korea, but not yet in other countries, right?”
“Affirmative. North Korea, as well as China and Russia, which have large territories, are well underway.”
“Then I’ll have to look into it. Connect me to Representative Shin Nara.”
“All right.”
Now the Hunter Association is the enemy. No one can be trusted.
We need to turn this situation around as quickly as possible. before it’s too late.

‘We will create a new Republic of Korea!’
Frost’s inauguration speech resonated greatly with people. Frost’s appeal and ability to dominate the public were so great that he used it as a teaching material at a speech academy.
There were quite a few people who were influenced by him.
[What do you think about the association president’s new hunter policy?]
: Positive 55%, negative 31%, neither 5%, don’t know, 9% refused to answer.
The approval rating for Frost was over half.
In addition, Park Jeong-yang and the ruling party are providing active support, and the Unix Group is providing all the capital, so Frost changed Hongyeon’s existing hunter-based policy 180 degrees like a colt let go of the reins.
In interviews with citizens, reactions to Frost’s actions were mostly favorable.
“Frost? Oh, that’s good. He’s a great person. Did you see the video of him kneeling before the former president of the association to save his guild members? It made me cry for no reason.”
“When players with vicious weapons pass by on the side of the road… it’s honestly a bit scary rather than cool. I don’t know what kind of harm I’ll get if I start a fight for no reason. I wonder why it’s only now that a policy to control hunters has been introduced.”
“Honestly, I think it’s refreshing. You reap what you sow. Well.”
“Hmm, hmm. If you look at it just from a policy perspective, there are a lot of unreasonable numbers. But what can you do? It’s true that Frost is good at filling the void left by Hongyul’s death. In a crisis like this, we need to unite around a person with that kind of charisma. Do it! Hmm!”
Under Frost’s policies, the Korean hunter world was experiencing a major tectonic shift.
And the organization that had to adapt most quickly to this change was the Hunter Association. The association has begun a major reorganization.
Most of the executive branch agents, including Lim Nam-jin, Hong Yul’s confidant and right-hand man, were transferred to the newly established association department ‘World Disaster Strategy Department’.
The job there was to accept the alliance’s request for support and attack dungeons opened overseas.
A demotion that is obvious to anyone.
Originally, the federation’s request was made by coordinating schedules between the association and guild and sending out hunters who had free time.
The members of the ‘World Disaster Strategy Department’, who had been demoted from the executive branch, took charge of all such work.
The attack schedule was also extremely tight. Lim Nam-jin and the Hong Yul faction’s executive branch hunters had to carry out a murderous itinerary traveling around Myanmar, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Portugal, and Bolivia.
Seeing Hong Yeon’s former henchmen, who were supposed to keep Frost in check more than anyone else, dying, most of the association’s employees gave up their will to rebel and bowed down to Frost.
The association was facing a cataclysm.
Discipline became stricter, and the military discipline within the organization became stronger than before.
Before morning work, everyone gathers together to sing the national anthem and memorize the purpose that contains the association’s ideology, mission, and responsibilities, but many cumbersome procedures have been added.
“Don’t you realize that the regime has changed?”
Frost was looking with his back to the window at the employees who were shouting out the ideology of the Hunter Association outside.
When there was no answer, Frost turned his head.
“This is how you see it.”
“…….”
Seeing Hong Yeon with a cold expression entering the office, Frost smiled softly.
“We’re not spherical, are we?”
