EP.21 Kill the Men and the Women!
'Is it enough?'
Yeo Hara opened her eyes at the sound of Ikhyun leaving.
Even though this dreamlike time was unfolding continuously, she felt.
Anxious.
It was just an inexplicable anxiety.
She had clearly captured Sung Ikhyun's heart. Anyone could see they were living like a married couple.
But she kept feeling anxious.
'Is this why I'm becoming vulgar without realizing? No, maybe it's not vulgar. Maybe all other women are like this too?'
But the anxiety that had sprouted in her heart remained.
She decided to believe.
That Ikhyun's feelings for her would be eternal. And that her own feelings would also remain unchanged.
'I'm Ikhyun's, and Ikhyun is mine. Until death, and even after death♥'
Hara smiled unconsciously as her eyes narrowed.
She quietly closed her eyes.
***
I thought some amazing notification would appear. But this is a bit ridiculous.
[Currently tallying survivors...]
[The next main story will continue in 30 minutes.]
I smirked.
Are these guys short on manpower too?
'Work, Celestial Horse Demon King. No, are the administrators working? Whatever.'
I rather liked it.
I slowly got up and got dressed.
First I received the dungeon reward I had postponed yesterday.
[Dungeon reward has been transferred!]
[Obtained 'Flash Grenade'!]
Oh, it's a consumable item.
Well, it was only a 1-star dungeon to begin with? I understand why the reward is like this.
I went outside.
'This break time between main quests is precious.'
One thing I felt while playing mobile games.
They call periods without events "no-vent" periods.
I realized you have to find things to do on your own during these periods.
The typical thing was grinding.
Grinding for points or materials needed normally, that is.
I lightly moved both arms as I felt my mana fully recovered.
'Mana recovers but I don't know the criteria. It doesn't seem to fill up much over time during battle.'
Then let's buy an item here.
I've only bought random miscellaneous things so far.
I haven't actually bought any artifacts, right? I should have a lot of points.
I tried to buy one this time. I opened the shop window.
-[Artifacts]-
Quality Longsword 6000DP
Equippable Buckler 11650DP
Cursed Mirror 38300DP
Twisted Glory Medal 31170DP
Brief item descriptions came up one by one. And there was something I needed right now.
I bought it and looked at the specs.
[Twisted Glory Medal]
Rarity: Rare
*Unique Continuous Effect 'Sacrificial Cleverness': Recover 1 MP per second. Lose HP equal to the amount recovered.
*Unique Continuous Effect 'Old God's Blessing': Gain 50% resistance to mental interference.
「To think a symbol of justice would be tainted like this. Is this also a revelation from God?」
Rare grade is quite an ambiguous grade. But the options came out quite good for that.
Of course, I lose health as much as mana fills up.
'That can be covered with the club's ability!'
I put on the medal that looked like a faded gold medal and moved forward.
I was concerned about the one-room apartment area, so I planned to go there.
I saw a few survivors as I passed through the streets.
I didn't pretend to know them.
They were people I might not have even known lived in the same neighborhood originally.
Why pretend to know them now?
It's meaningless.
'By the way, should I try using the enhancement stone?'
The enhancement stone I had briefly forgotten about while having sex.
I was going to try it on the gun but only just remembered.
I hid in an alley going to the one-room building and took out the gun.
It's so convenient to be able to put it in and take it out of the ring.
I used the enhancement stone.
As soon as I used it, the gun glowed faintly, then suddenly turned golden.
"Huh, what?!"
[0.1% chance of critical enhancement activated!]
[2-level enhancement, success!]
I looked at the notification in surprise then looked down at the gun. The specs were amazing.
[Assassin's Vintage Pistol]
Rarity: Ultra Rare
*Unique Continuous Effect 'Corrupted Mana Bullet': Uses 1 MP to fire a mana bullet instead of actual bullets. Deals fixed damage equal to 3% of max HP per second for 5 seconds.
*Unique Usage Effect 'Shadow Assassination': After hiding then revealing yourself in front of an enemy, bullets spread and fly to all enemies in sight for the next 8 seconds.
「Have you ever seen all the stones die on a Go board?」
'Wow, it matches so well with my shadow ability? This much is needed when using mana for normal attacks!'
My cheeks twitched into a smile.
I wanted to test it right away.
When I snuck over to the one-room building, there were a few shadows. People were gathered.
I could hear their conversation.
"Are we all safe?"
"Sigh... Mr. Yoo-sung from upstairs."
"Ah, that's unfortunate. He was a good person."
"My friend Jin-sung is missing too."
Sadness and regret visible everywhere.
And people silently accepting it as if it had become commonplace.
I felt like even people's inner selves had become an apocalypse.
It was fortunate there were humans protecting this place on their own. I wondered what would happen if they were all wiped out.
I recalled what I heard from Sol-ji.
Go Uk-hee and the Kids mainly move around places out of sight.
Underground passages and tunnels are typical.
'In this case, would it be the riverside park or under a bridge?'
I snuck down to take a look.
Even though the world had become like this, the river was flowing calmly.
There were even unidentified fish visible in it.
First I passed one bridge.
As I left the shade, sunlight greeted me again.
I headed to the next bridge.
'Walking alone along the riverside on this nice day. If only noona was beside me.'
I smiled as I imagined walking with Hara.
Now that's become the norm. Since we're together at home every day.
For noona's sake, I wanted to end this apocalypse in one go.
As I was about to pass under the next bridge, I heard a presence.
"Um, excuse me. Please save me!"
"Hm?"
A woman appeared whose t-shirt was all torn and seemed to be missing her bottoms.
Her nipples peeking through the torn t-shirt were glowing pink.
'But the shape of her breasts is unusual. Like a bowl of rice turned upside down.'
Not knowing what I was thinking, the woman trembled and cried.
"Th-thank goodness. Please save me!"
"What is it?"
"I almost got kidnapped by strange people! I barely escaped but have nowhere to go, sob!"
"Oh?"
"Please..."
"Don't try to act anywhere. No, not even in your next life."
"What? What do you mean?"
I sighed. Does she think I'm an idiot? I reluctantly answered.
"I can clearly sense presences around. What kind of acting is this? Hey, aren't you coming out?!"
As I shouted, burly men appeared from the space under the bridge and the sides.
I knew this would happen. The killing intent was quite ominous.
I examined them one by one with Balor.
These bastards are all players.
Players only take damage from other players or in-game enemies.
It looks like a pinch at first glance.
The men smiled as they surrounded me.
"Ah, I can't face Kang-hyun hyung like this."
"It's fine, it's just one guy anyway?"
"You bitch, can't you even act?"
"Shut up, you fuckers. Why don't you try acting?"
The men, and the woman.
They're definitely not strangers.
The woman sneered then said to me.
"Sigh, wouldn't it be better if you just got caught by me quietly? Your face is quite my type, oppa."
"Who's your oppa, you fucking bitch."
"Fufu, these oppas are a bit rough, you know? How about kneeling now?"
"How do you know they're rough? Did you already get fucked? No wonder you smell like a whore."
"...What did you just say?"
"Well, what else can a powerless bitch do besides whoring? It's not like you'll go to job hell to look for work."
The woman's expression crumpled instantly at my sneer.
Of course, the men laughed along.
"Shit, that's a fact though. Hihi."
"Kekeke, but why are you so relaxed?"
"Baby, you're in the most danger right now."
"Seems like you can't read the mood. Are you crazy?"
I sighed.
The ones who can't read the mood aren't me.
This worked out well.
Let's test it here once.
"You're the ones who need to read the mood. You byproducts of sexual desire."
"This bastard... Everyone attack him!"
The men rushed in from all directions. I saw the woman sneering and backing away.
I looked around at the people who seemed to number about twenty and smirked.
I spread my shadow like a floor mat and melted into it right away.
Soon I felt mana draining rapidly from my body, then suddenly filling up.
At the same time, I suddenly felt hungry, and felt like something that shouldn't disappear was disappearing.
The people were flustered when I disappeared.
"What the?!"
"Hey, activate detection, detection!"
"This bastard... he's under us?"
"What bullshit are you saying, idiot!"
I moved as if mocking them.
I leapt towards the slope going up to the road and drew my gun.
I revealed myself while looking at the gun that had become heavier and had a longer barrel than before.
"All together, beep beep! Beep beep!"
The gun spewed fire, and dozens of bullets rained down on the people with each trigger pull.
An unprecedented elation gripped my heart. Blood sprayed before my eyes.
Players?
They're clearly guys who have awakened skills.
Plus there are more of them than me. Anyone would say my defeat is the right prediction.
But that's only if I give them a fair frontal battle.
Now before my eyes, a pile of men's corpses riddled with bullets had accumulated.
But I hadn't killed them. I avoided their vital spots.
"Kyaaaah!"
The woman was lucky, having collapsed after getting hit once in the arm.
I approached her.
"Oh, looks like you're lucky?"
"Um, I-I'm sorry. Th-they told me to do as they said!"
"Wow, you'd even sell your parents to save your life, huh."
"Please spare me, I'll do anything!"
I smirked and looked down at the woman.
Her face was ordinary, her breasts were big but the shape was a bit off.
I took this chance to tear off the woman's t-shirt.
"Kyah!"
Boing♡
I reached out and grabbed her breast.
As I kneaded it like pounding rice cakes, the feeling was strange.
"...Hey, have you ever done a used goods transaction?"
"Suddenly... what?"
"When a used goods transaction goes wrong, you get a brick instead of the item you wanted, you know? That's exactly how this feels."
"Um, what...?"
"You fucking bitch!"
I struck the woman's temple with my gun. This really pisses me off.
I berated the fallen woman.
Honestly, any man would not be able to stay still at this.
How can you feel implants when touching breasts?
"No fucking way, if you got breast surgery at least make them pretty. I can feel the implants directly, you scammer bitch!"
"Ahuk, fuck..."
"Die, you, fucking, bitch!"
I stomped on the woman viciously to control my anger.
With each stomp and kick.
The woman's body bent and bright red blood sprayed, staining her body.
This really pisses me off.
"Hey, do you want to die?"
"S-save me... I'll do anything. Huuk, I'll even suck your cock if you tell me to!"
"I don't want a bitch like you to suck me, you implant bitch."
This is ridiculous.
Does she think everything can be solved by selling her body? There are bitches like this everywhere.
Let's properly ask while we're at it.
"Hey, which gang are you from?"
"I-I only know a person called Moon Gang-hyun."
"Who's Moon Gang-hyun? Is he strong?"
Updat𝒆d fr𝑜m freewebnøvel.com.
"No... He's a guy with glasses, used to be a manager at a big company. That's all I know..."
"Location of your base."
"Well, I've only been here with the men so..."
This is annoying.
Who is Moon Gang-hyun? Is he that 625 guy or whatever?
If he was a manager at a big company, he must have been smart. It seems similar in a way, but it doesn't feel like him at all.
I thought I'd get some information but it was a dud.
Well, how many gangs could there be? It would be cheating if I could find out everything at once.
I grabbed the woman's chin and asked.
"Do you want to live?"
"Yes!"
"Then die."
I struck her with the club and killed her. Then I killed all the fallen men with the club too.
Each time I killed one, I felt like something empty inside me was filling up.
My health and stamina were recovering.
But the rewards were quite mediocre.
I realized one thing from this.
'Like yesterday, really weak guys don't often show skills in rewards. Same with items.'
I felt anew how lucky I had been until now. But let's think positively.
I accumulated quite a few points, and my stats increased too, right?
This alone is much more profitable than others. When others are sprinting at full speed.
It's like I'm flying around in Chairman Park's spaceship.
I exhaled deeply and shook off the blood on my body.
My confidence grew even more as my stats increased from the rewards and I gained quite a bit of combat experience.
'Should I head back now?'
Just as I was thinking that.
Finally a new quest window popped up.
I was at a loss for words after seeing it.
