**...Until Today** is the 14th Standard Regional Ultimate Wizard quest released for the Korean version of Crash Fever, albeit at Spectre difficulty.

Some time after the events of The Best Choice, Hanrakgungi had suddenly fallen unconscious, and was being watched over by her father Saradoryeong. Her memories of what happened in The Beautiful Butterfly suddenly come back to her, and she wakes up crying and calling for her mother. Saradoryeong notices that she finally woke up, and asks if she is OK. Hanrakgungi asks Saradoryeong where her mother is, and Saradoryeong's relieved expression quickly turns into a distraught one. He asks what she means, and she asks where her mother is and asks him to confirm that she is still alive. Saradoryeong is shocked, as her traumatic memories of the event should have been wiped. He tells her that he needs to go outside to get some fresh air, and that she needs to take some time to rest and recover.

After Saradoryeong has left the room, Hanrakgungi gets up in a frenzy and trips. She heads over to a crystal like AI in the room, and asks it where Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja is, despite the pain that even uttering his name causes her. The AI explains that Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja is currently imprisoned in Illusionary Hell. Hanrakgungi then asks where her mother, Won-gang-a-mi, is, but the AI just fizzles out instead of responding. She angrily shakes the AI, before taking a moment to collect her thoughts. She says that she will never forgive Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja, and that she will have her vengeance. Hanrakgungi then waits until Saradoryeong is out of the house, and quickly prepares to leave for Illusionary Hell.

Once she arrives at Illusionary Hell, she starts running around and loudly demands that Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja show himself. Gangrim asks what she is doing here, and blocks her path. Hanrakgungi recognizes Gangrim as one of the people who had come to Seocheon Garden previously, and asks what she is doing here. Gangrim asks Hanrakgungi if she has any idea what she is doing, and points out that she is intruding.

Hanrakgungi states that she is here to see Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja and to get revenge for the death of her mother; she's barely able to keep herself together while consumed with rage. She asks Gangrim if she has even any idea what Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja did to her family. An exhausted Jeon Woochi arrives, and complains about Gangrim moving so fast before noticing the tense situation at the moment. Gangrim realizes that Hanrakgungi has had her memories restored, and assures her that she knows all too well what happened. Gangrim explains that she was the one who imprisoned Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja there in the first place. Gangrim mentions that Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja is getting his deserved punishment in Illusionary Hell, and asks Hanrakgungi to calm down.

A sudden clank is heard, and Gangrim asks who is there. Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja walks forth, laughing maniacally, and asks if Hanrakgungi really came all this way just for him. Gangrim curses at him and asks how he managed to escape from the depths of the prison. Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja explains that Hanrakgungi had weakened the security of the prison, making it much easier for him. Hanrakgungi, filled with anger, tells Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja that everything is his fault. He just responds that it is good to see her, and remarks that she looks as beautiful as her mother. Hanrakgungi tells him to not say a word about her mother.

Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja mentions that Won-gang-a-mi only lasted a short amount of time, but was a wonderful toy of his. He asks Hanrakgungi if she hates him, and that he will tell her something amazing. He explains that the love of a mother is truly magnificent, and when he took control of Won-gang-a-mi her love still lingered unconsciously and she would look for Hanrakgungi. He remarks that it is all in the past now, and it is thanks to Hanrakgungi that he is able to enjoy recalling their past experiences together. He laughs at how amusing a tragedy this is, and says that it was Won-gang-a-mi's love for Hanrakgungi that had gotten her killed.

Hanrakgungi is on the verge of just lashing out, and Jeon Woochi asks Gangrim if it's really OK to let Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja sit around in the prison, as even now he has shown absolutely no regret at what he had done. Gangrim says they need to be careful to not disturb the order, but Hanrakgungi charges forth anyways. She has a memory of a happy moment from her past, and it gives her strength. She fights her way through several prisoners that act strangely, and confronts Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja. He tries to cloud her mind, but she persists against him. He continues to mock her, stating that everything that happens is according to "divine will" and was fated to happen.

Hanrakgungi manages to defeat him, and he remarks that his powers must have weakened over time. He says it's a real waste that she will be his executioner, as she would have made a better toy than her mother, which he had disposed of on a whim. Hanrakgungi becomes further enraged, while Gangrim insults Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja and asks if he still hasn't done enough. Gangrim says that he tries to deceive and convince others, and asks if he does it only to cause suffering.

Gangrim declares that she will seal Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja so deep within Illusionary Hell that no one will ever hear from him again. The bedrock splits open, and countless black hands reach out and grab onto Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja. He starts to panic, and begs them to stop. Gangrim bids him farewell, and says she hopes he suffers for eternity. Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja is pulled down into the darkness, with the bedrock closing above him.

Jeon Woochi asks what that was, as he hasn't seen a trick so cool as that in his life. He asks Gangrim if she has had that power all along and was just feigning weakness. Gangrim remarks that he should learn when to shut up, and he apologizes and stops talking. Seeing the two of them interact causes Hanrakgungi to laugh uncontrollably, possibly to help cope with the emotions she feels. Jeon Woochi asks if she's laughing or is sad or hurt. Hanrakgungi says she has no idea and will leave the interpretation up to him while referring to him as "Woochi-brother". His face becomes red at hearing the endearing nickname.

Hanrakgungi walks up to Gangrim and stumbles, calling her "Gangrim-sister", and says that she thought they were the same age considering how young Gangrim's face looked. Jeon Woochi begins to make a snarky remark, but Gangrim grips him by the neck and points at the bedrock where Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja had been dragged under. Jeon Woochi apologizes again and shuts up. Hanrakgungi continues to laugh at how silly their interactions are. Jeon Woochi asks Gangrim how she managed to do that to Cheon-nyeon-jang-ja, and she reminds him that she has some control under Illusionary Hell. He remarks that she could have done it faster, but she retorts that it took a while to load since she hadn't used it in so long. Gangrim then quickly walks towards the exit, and Jeon Woochi runs after her telling her to wait up for him. Hanrakgungi chases after them both.

Several days later, Gangrim goes to Seocheon Garden to visit Saradoryeong. He asks what business she has there with him, and she says that a lot has happened and she would like him to listen to what she has to say. Gangrim asks him if he is still lamenting in regret what has happened, and says that she has noticed two different kinds of regret. She explains that the first kind is one that never disappears and takes up all of your time, while the second one is where regret leads one to bettering themselves and their life. She says that she has noticed that Saradoryeong's regret is much like the first, and points out that constantly reliving the past will only cause him to suffer and that blaming himself will only lead to his self-made death. She encourages him to stop looking backwards and to look forwards, and to live every day to the fullest so that he isn't consumed with regret.

She says that she isn't telling him to try and fight the suffering, as it will break him eventually. She remarks that the pain in one's heart can't be undone, and even Shang Di couldn't do anything about that. Gangrim advises Saradoryeong to embrace the suffering, but make sure to look forward whenever he is happy. She reminds him that he still has something that he must protect, and that is his greatest ally. She says that she believes he will eventually break free from his regret, and be able to move on to a happier life. She concludes that his memories of love will make him stronger than anyone, while dwelling on bitter ones will make him lose everything. Saradoryeong, who had listened without saying a word, starts to reflect on what she had said while also being unaware that Hanrakgungi was also listening.

At some later point in time, Hanrakgungi goes out to the gardens with Saradoryeong. He asks her if she really wants to go through with this, as the item she is holding was something she treasured so much. She assures him that she does, and that she wants to bury it in a pretty box where lots of sunlight are present. She takes a special ornament that was the only thing she had left of her mother, and puts it into a special box. She declares that she will plant flowers that are as beautiful as her mother all around the box, and says that she is sure that her mother will be happy as she used to love flowers.

Hanrakgungi begins to cover the box in soil, but stops for a moment. She begins to ask Saradoryeong that they might be able to use the special flowers from Seocheon Garden to revive Won-gang-a-mi, but she doesn't finish her sentence and stops. She remembers how long her father had suffered, and goes to continue burying the box. Saradoryeong pats Hanrakgungi on her head, and tells her that she has been strong. He apologizes for not being able to tell her everything from the beginning, and had always thought of her as a child until she was suddenly all grown up. He says that is only wish is for her to grow to be as gentle as her mother was. Hanrakgungi happily says that she will.

Hanrakgungi's tears fall upon the dirt where the box was buried, and she looks up to the sky. She asks her mother what she thinks, and promises to take care of it. Saradoryeong quietly says to Won-gang-a-mi that their daughter looks so much like her. A rainbow colored butterfly suddenly appears and floats around the two, making the day a new, happy memory.
