Kidnapped Dragons (KR Web Novel)

For someone to become aranker, connection was necessary.

That was proven by the fact that most of the rankers had organisations at their basis, like a renowned household, a large guild, or support from a transnational corporation.

An example was Rank 9, Myung Yongha theDruid of Regeneration, who belonged to KoreasMyung Household, which was known for its prowess in magic. Ever since a young age, he had stepped through an elitist course while receiving tremendous support from the family.

With an excellent talent, backed up by money and his own effort, Myung Yongha was able to become a world ranker despite still being in his late twenties.

However, BM was different.

He appeared out of nowhere, and unlike other rankers, he had no organisation or household that he belonged in. He would always act alone, and didnt cooperate with anyone.

BM didnt have enough connection to become a ranker. Nothing, including his childhood days and his background, were known. At the very least, it was unknown to the general population and due to that, the public had always been curious about it.

Where did BM come from?

The Regressor knew.

“Hmm…”

Once again, BM tried smelling the white alcohol. It was the smell of a fruit that couldnt be found on Earth, and with a blank expression, he kept smelling it.

Approximately 40 years ago, there had been an incident that struck the entire world,Mass Disappearance of Babylon.

Back then, thousands of young superhumans with great talent had vanished in groups. Due to the sudden incident, various governments put their heads together and searched for the missing people but ended up finding none.

BM was a victim of the Mass Disappearance of Babylon.

Back then, Jung Bongman disappeared inside the classroom of a superhuman primary school in Gangwon-do, and only came back to Earth after 15 years had passed.

He was a returnee.

At the same time, he was the first returnee from the nearby world, [Arandot], and that was the reason he could become the worlds second strongest person without any background.

“…This… where did you get this from?”

Towards the end of the sixth iteration, Yu Jitae had dropped by Arandot while on his way to the Demon World, and came across that bottle of alcohol there. It wasnt to his taste so he left it inside the [Shallows of the Abyss (S)] and now it was seeing the light of the day.

“I just got it from somewhere.”

“Are you giving me this while knowing what this means to me? Now I can see how you know so much about me. Are you perhaps from Arand…”

“No. Whatever youre thinking of, thats not the case. And dont try to find out too much about me.”

Not just the origin of the alcohol, but also about himself – Yu Jitae was telling him to remain silent about everything. BM understood his words, but for him that wasnt the important part.

“Haa, thats crazy. Seriously… crazy…”

Alcohol from Arandot.

This was the first time he came across it in the last 25 years ever since he had returned to Earth. No matter how hard he looked around, he couldnt find anything from Arandot on Earth.

This was more than enough for a rent fee.

While carrying the little bottle of alcohol, which he wouldnt dare drink, carefully with both of his hands, BM could only smell it repeatedly.

In any case, his task was over, and Yu Jitae was about to leave, but a sudden thought flashed across his head and he asked BM.

“Can I ask you for a favour?”

***

Yeorum was in a very bad mood.

There werent many things in the world that could put her in such a state, and the only things that could were Yu Kaeul, and her own diehard fans who had a few screws loose.

She wasnt expecting this kid to annoy her as well.
