"Master… I understand your abilities are nothing short of divine." Yeon spoke from across me as we had been sitting around my coffee table with my laptop open and showing the graveyards of the legendary heroes. "But I wish to say that this may not be so easy. I am not an awakener and I have lost the backing of my family."
"It's fine." I smiled. She was very gorgous and that's a plus. "I can grant you awaken abilites once we start hunting monsters."
Every monster or person that my 'units' killed offered a reward like an RPG system.
"T-Truly?" She looked surprised and I nodded. "I see… this changes things."
She muttered and then fully turned to help me as she also asked for my check book and banking card.
I handed it over since she knew more about fiance than I did my entire lifetime. She was technically older than me as well.
As her photos nearing the end of her life were practically etched in history for anyone to see.
Yet, that same woman was now her win my livingroom in her prime age.
With that said, Yeon wanted me to wait until she had established a firm foothold and then steadily tripled my initial money through the stock trades as well, I didn't know how any of it worked but she had forged a strong foundation for my future endeavors.

Three months soon passed. And I stood before the graves of Jenna, Yui, and Hana.
Taking their souls and leaving their graves empty, I returned home where I then began to bring them back to life.
Yeon stood at the ready holding the sets of clothes according to the measurements she somehow got from the heroes throigh some unknown means.
Yeon not only adapted to the new technological era, but she flourished and had even gotten a new certificate to found my new Guild.
'LEGENDS'. It was a little on the nose but I liked it.
And once the three legendary women were brought back whole, they each stared at me and responded simultaneously.
"""Master."""I felt a shudder run down my back but it wasn't done yet.
I then brought them back to life and their attitudes changed.
"What is the meaning of this?" Yui spoke first as Yeon stood and handed each their own clothes they once wore.
Yeon then took the time to explain it to them and myself.
Right then, Jenna spoke to me.
"Master… what do you intent do to with us?" She asked and I could see she was fighting to morale a move against me but couldn't.
"Nothing much." I responded honestly. "The dungeons haven't gone anywhere. The rouges have gone underground but are staging a large-scale attack in a few months. I had no real plans initially. But bringing you back felt like the right call. I apologize for disturbing your rest, heroes of the first generation. But I am weak. And have only my awakener abilties. So long as I am ajve, you can all do as you please. All I ask is that you keep me safe."
As a [Necromancer], I would not age last this current time. I will remain eternally as a 25 year old handsome man.
I can still be kileld but it would be absurdly difficult for anyone to try as long as I had my 'units' to draw from.
"… I believe you." Jenna then knelt down. Her tal 7ft tall height halved as she knelt down before me and offered her vow to keep me safe.
Yui and Hana also agreed the same and now, I had three of this world's strongest and versitile awakeners ever recorded.
~
1 week. It took less than one week for all three legendary awakeners to make waves.
Jenna, Yui and Hana had all gone separately to re-take the tests for their former guilds they had left behind and soon rose through the ranks with an absurd speed never seen before.
Sitting before the TV, Yeon got off the phone and walked over to sit down beside me to comment about how Jenna, Yui and Hana were already being talked about on the news.
"They sure don't waste time." Yeon said and I smiled.
"They are eager to get back to doing what they did best. Helping save Korea and wipe out the dungeons once-and-for all by clearing the lower floor boss." I said while drinking my coffee. "Aside from them, no dungeon has been cleared at the same level as whem theyw ere alive. Many have died. A lot of areas suffer from the leakage of the dungeons."
"Will you be joining them?" I chuckled.
"No. While I can bring back legendary heroes, I ajve zero chance of surviving down there." I lied but it's better I don't show my hand in case anyone is ever evesdropping.
"Shame. But you guaranteed I can gain awakener pwoers, yes?" I turned to her and smiled.
"Of course. But the monsters that Jenna and the others have killed have not provided a power I am satisfied with handing to you." They were still tearing the waters. "In two hours. All three of the major guilds had sent their guilds to raid three separate dungeons. Once they reach the halfway point of the 150th floor, I can grant you the powers of the boss monsters there."
I said and Yeon nodded.
~
As the first day passed, I turned to Yeon and held out my hands as I then passed along the new powers I gained from the girls taking out those boss level monsters.
[Rapid-Regeneration], [Behemoth-Strenght], and [Control-Immunity].
I could give myself these powers as well but didn't need to use them apart from [Control-Immunity].
I have these to all my girls and left it at that as Yeon soon clenched her hand and felt the surge of power.
With that, she asked for permission to go test her new peers in a dungeon nearby and I nodded as she left.
With them all gone, I opened four simotanious system panels showing the exact locations and live view feed of them.
Yeon was breathtaking as she was smiling whole slaughtering the monsters that ordinary A-rank awakeners would struggle again with ease.
As they did what they wanted, I had only 3 months left before Isuel gets lost in that dungeon and begins his rise to power.
~
A month after the three major guilds began their unprecedented raids across three of the country's most volatile and dangerous dungeons, an announcement was made as the final boss in all three dungeons soon fell and all three dungeons were cleared as they will begin to revert back to normal levels for good.
The surrounding areas were saved and people were allowed to return to their cherished family homes once again.
The popularity of Jenna, Yui and Hana were so great, that people were calling them the incrnatuon of the 1st generation heroes.
Granting them their old titles once again.
And with South Korea making headlines, the rest of the world watched and reached out to have them come to their countries and help clear their own dungeons as well.
"Are you sure about this, Master?" Yeon sat across from me. Wearing a full sleek adventure body-suit and a cloak that hid her curvy body, she asked as we were en route to Russia.
"Yeah. I want to revive Madam Tsar and Ironjacket." These two were also from the 1st generation.
But unlike the ones from South Korea who used their powers for the people, these two had been war-criminals who were the 1st generation's strongest rouges as their powers were absurdity-incarnate.
Madam Tsar. The first ever recount of her appearance was in 1978. She was 27 years old when she awakened what she later awakener her ability:
[One-Woman-Army(OWA]. As the name implies, Madam Tsar was capable of summoning her era's modern military vehicles and firepower to terrorize her government and anyone else who wanted to stop her from doing whatever she wanted.
"I still think this is a bad idea, Master." Yeon said and I smiled.
"We will need her ability. The 'Final-Dungeon' has always been an unconquerable place where even many S-class Awakeners failed to breach the 100th floor."
And it was still speculated that there were far more floors than that as the saturation of monsters in each floor is ten times anywhere else.
"If you say so, Master." She said and I looked out the window from the private plane we were flying in.
~
After we landed, Yeon had arranged for transport as while I could jsut send her ahead and report o her side, I didn't want to reveal that function yet.
Besides, the countryside was gorgeous.
And once five hours passed on the road in a comfortable bus, we soon arrived at a remote town in which looked out to the freezing waters of the North.
Madam Tsar, also know as Katarina Vinkovisch.
"To think they would bury her where they knew she hated." This town was her former home. Before she burned it down and killed everyone here when she awakened her power. "But that's in the past… arise."
I always wanted to say that. And in the next moment, a stunning Russian woman stood upright as her eyes were dull and her posture still.
"Now… return to me." I spoke and soon after a blinding golden light, Katarina awoke and found herself alive again.
"… M-Master." I could see her resisting but couldn't fight back the control of my powers. "Hah… great,
Now I'm a bitch latched onto an Owner."
She spoke in a clear, thick Russian accent yet, I could understand her through our shared bond.
"Welcome to the living, Katarina." I smiled as Yeon wakes forward and handed over underclothes and a Russian robe that carried a fur hoodie.
"You're also on dof his pets?" Kat looked at Yeon.
"I am his aid." Yeon corrected but I could sense she was angry to be called that. "So are you."
"Sure. Whatever you say." Katarina then lifted her pale golden hair over her collar and looked to me. "So? What do you want me to do? Who do I kill?"
"No one… yet."'I said calmly. "We still have to get to Iorn-jacket."
I said and she snorted.
"That woman. Good fuck. Bad conversationalist." Katarina said as it was stated that Madam Tsar and Iron-jacket were in a same-sex relationship. In the 70's, that was considered the height of heresy. "Okay. If you bring back my love. I will serve you."
"You already do, idoit." Yeon said but I laughed.
"It's fine. Okay. I'll take that deal."'I held out my hand and she smirked as she spat on her hand and took hold of mine. "Gross but also kind of kinky."
"Master." Yeon sighed and I chuckled as she walked over and cleans my hand as we then got back on the bus and began on the road again to the heart of the Russian capital.
"How will we get to Iron-jacket's grave, master?" Yeon asked since iron-jacket had such an overpowered production ability to supply and Medea's amount of material from metal, steel, iron and copper.
So much so, that in her final stand against the Russian-Chinese coalition had pushed her to self destruct and cover her body into a solid Amber-gold statue.
No matter whay they did, she would stand tall and preserved her dignity as Madam Tsar's woman.
"Oh~, my i'ubimaja~." Katarina said as the bus stopped just across the Russian cremlin square. "Do we take the statue?"
I shook my head.
"No need. Let's wait for nightfall when it's clear and then I'll extract her soul from inside." I said and as we waited, night came down and I walked up to the stature on a pedestal.
Katarina stood beside me and Yeon to my right.
I raised my hand and soon grabbed Iron-jacket's soul remains as I soon took her back to the bus and headed away as I stepped back out in a wooded area and began her resurrection.
