#Episode 27
I was at a loss as to where to go.
I thought about a daycare center or something like that, but I didn’t know what to do or how to do it.
It was strange to know. My sister and I were young at that time. We were just kids.
We didn’t say anything, but my sister and I, like a military family, moved around a lot. We lived in Cheongju, and at the time, I went to Ga-gyeong Elementary School in Cheongju. My sister and I were different ages, but we had the same elementary school teacher, and that person came to mind.
Teacher Jo Ae-hyeon of Gyeonggi Elementary School.
We contacted him and he sympathized with our situation.
He gave me a room at his own expense and helped me and my sister until we became independent.
The funny thing is that my father, Jin Tae-seop, didn’t try to look for me or my older sister.
I don’t know why. I think there was some kind of subsidy or something.
Anyway, my older sister and I lived together like that, and she studied and I worked.
I delivered newspapers and milk, and I had a strong belief that I had to take responsibility for my sister, so that’s how I fed her.
My older sister lived up to my expectations. She studied well, got good grades, went to a good university, and became a good person.
I can’t forget what my older sister, who went to college, said to me.
‘Sihu, now that I’ve gone to college, you should go too. Now I’ll feed you.’
‘What about the tuition?’
‘You got a scholarship.’
My sister laughed like she was the happiest person in the world.
‘I want you to be happy.’
In fact, my older sister started supporting me from that day on, and I passed the high school equivalency exam in a year.
and.
Fell on Titan.
No matter how positively I think about it, no matter how broadly I think about it, I really don’t understand why this Jin Tae-seop in front of me is still alive.
Substitute.
“Why aren’t you dead yet?”
“… … Let’s put this aside… … and talk.”
My eyebrows furrow.
Next, I noticed the clothes and accessories that Jin Tae-seop was wearing. My eyesight is not that good, but I know the difference between luxury goods and regular duty-free goods.
It is clear that all the clothes Jin Tae-seop is wearing are luxury brands. There is a large diamond on his ring and a gold necklace around his neck.
By the way, I can smell the scent of mana from that ring and necklace.
It is most likely an artifact with magical properties.
“That bastard who was gambling has become so smart while I wasn’t looking.”
“……what?”
He just put his hand down.
Jin Tae-seop, who had been coughing, sighs and shakes off his clothes.
“Haa, Shihu. Why are you acting like this all of a sudden? We were laughing and eating together until yesterday, but now you seem like a different person.”
Stayed quiet.
“I liked that you were so different from your mean older sister, but did you hear anything from her?”
“sound?”
“I can tell from your expression. Yes, I was getting money from your sister. Is that why you were so angry? I’m your father. A father wants some money from his son, and you’re a brat.”
As he spoke, Jin Tae-seop quickly became angry, as if his anger was welling up inside him.
“I haven’t been able to hit my father’s head since childhood.
I hit it with a soju bottle and then with a patta. It was the right thing to do. Soon, Jin Tae-seop swung his hand. His hand touched my cheek. There was a crunching sound.
There was no pain. There was no awareness that I had been hit. There was only snickers and laughter.
“I guess this is a gift.”
“……what?”
“It was a bit boring. I didn’t feel anything when I came across the gates and the apostles and all that. But you’re a bit different.”
“… … What are you talking about… … .”
Jin Tae-seop couldn’t continue speaking.
I didn’t feel the need to think long. I didn’t feel the need to tell a long story.
Just do something you couldn’t do before.
It doesn’t matter if my sister stops me or anyone else stops me. No one can stop what I’m trying to do.
He grabbed Jin Tae-seop’s face. Kwak.
With a snap, his face contorts. His teeth pop out and his jaw dislocates. A window appears on Jin Tae-seop’s side. He walks toward it.
His expression is a mixture of confusion and fear. It’s quite a sight to see those emotions spread across his face.
He just threw it towards the window.
Time seems to pass slowly.
like that.
Kwaaaaaaaah-!!
There is a loud noise.
He took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it. He took a sip.
I looked down. Jin Tae-seop was lying on the ground. This is the 26th floor.
A normal person would die if they fell from the 26th floor. Artifacts and things like that don’t matter. I destroyed them all before I threw them.
After a long time, my body feels stimulated.
It’s fun.
So I laughed.

After confirming the body, Yoon Young-soo left the place without even thinking about it.

His gaze turns towards the window where Jin Shi-hoo is.
He sat down there. Jin Shi-hoo, who was smoking a cigarette, asked with a smile.
“You came quickly.”
“… Mr. Jin Shi-hoo, what are you doing now?”
Jin Shi-hoo tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.
ah.
Is that it?
“Oh, I’m sorry. I’ve been living in a different place for so long that I’ve forgotten basic common sense. You’re not supposed to smoke on the stairs of an apartment, right?”
The cigarette burst into flames. Yoon Young-soo felt goosebumps as he watched it disappear into ash.
I was a little mistaken.
Jin Shihou is strong. He is strong enough to play with the Seven Strong Jin Songi. The process of gaining that level of strength must not have been smooth at all.
It comes to a natural conclusion.
What are the chances that someone who has made the effort to have such powers will be able to live like an ordinary person?
If you try hard and hide it, it’s possible. But it’s fundamentally different from ordinary people. It’s because the root is distorted.
Jin Shihou is as dangerous as he is strong.
Look at him now. He may be a loser, but he is still a father in his own right. I just threw him from the 26th floor of an apartment building.
There is nothing more to see. Jin Tae-seop is dead.
But Jin Shi-hoo, who killed Jin Tae-seop like that, was now talking as if the only thing he did wrong was smoking a cigarette on the stairs.
It is hard to believe that someone who killed his own family would act like that in broad daylight.
It was difficult.
This man was a very difficult man.
“… … Was it Jin Shi-hoo’s own will to kill Jin Tae-seop?”
Jin Shi-hoo laughed as if he found it ridiculous, as if asking why he was asking such a thing.
“Then who will you rely on?”
“… … .”
“Oh, speaking of which, that kid said something funny. He said he gave me money. What was that?”
“… … .”
“answer.”
Yoon Young-soo answered reflexively.
“The doppelganger and the master who were replacing the original Jin Shihou were paying living expenses.”
It was impossible to explain. I was just overwhelmed. I had a strong feeling that if I didn’t answer Jin Shihou’s question, something ominous would happen.
Really… … That feeling was so strong that he answered reflexively. Jin Shi-hoo let out a small sigh. Then he lightly touched Yoon Young-soo’s shoulder.
Yoon Young-soo felt the tension in his body melt away in an instant. He felt much more relaxed.
and.
Is this human a real monster?
“I’m sorry. I’m so inconsistent sometimes. Please take a deep breath and speak slowly.”
Jin Shi-hoo, who was smiling gently, looked a little scared, but tried to remain calm.
Jin Tae-seop approached Jin Song-i around the time she started to become famous.
Jin Song-i didn’t abandon Jin Tae-seop. Still, she gave him a house, money, and a car, calling him family.
But, as the saying goes, a dog’s habits don’t change, Jinsong gambled on everything he bought her, and as time went by, he reached a strange point where he lost more than he gave.
As I said before, I was weak towards my family.
He kept giving money because he earned a lot of money, but Jin Tae-seop lost money again through gambling.
In the meantime, he approached the 200th apostle who was pretending to be Jin Shihou and extorted money from him. Jin Song-yi has broad shoulders.
She has a lot on her shoulders, and she has to handle it all on her own.
Although there are many people who follow Yoon Young-soo and her, no matter how they are packaged, in the end, they are ‘men’.
There is a reason why they say blood is thicker than water.
After hearing the whole story, Jin Shihou just sighed with an expressionless face.
Yoon Young-soo said to Jin Shi-hoo,
“I’ll take care of that.”
The thing we are talking about here is the dead Jin Tae-seop. Jin Shi-hoo asked.
“How?”
“We will treat it as an accident.”
Jin Shihou laughed. Look at this.
“I guess this isn’t your first or second time doing this.”
Yoon Young-soo, who had been looking outside for a moment, opened his mouth silently.
“I don’t know if you know, but the Master is very soft-hearted. He is merciless to monsters, but he is very weak to people.”
“hmm.”
“There were more than a few people who interfered with such a master. The master preferred to hand such people over and get rid of them through due process, but not me.”
“… … .”
“Someone has to do it, and I’ve always done what I have to do.”
“That’s funny. I guess you have a very sharp personality.”
“… … As I said before, I just don’t care about the means and methods to achieve my goals. Of course.”
“of course?”
“If the right way is the most efficient, then we do it that way. But if not, then we do it that way.”
“or not?”
“We pursue efficiency through illegitimate means, because that’s the best way.”
Jin Shi-hoo truly thought that Yun Yeong-su was a good man.
Should I say that there is some connection?
“Just convince the Master. I’ll take care of the rest. Leave your laptop and main unit behind. I’ll take them and take care of everything else.”
and.
Yoon Young-soo took a wallet out of his pocket and handed it to me.
“This is the wallet that the doppelganger used. It has his ID, driver’s license, some cash, and a check card. Just in case, I sent the account and password that the doppelganger used to Jin Si-hoo’s email address. The email address is the same one I gave you back then.”
He smiled as he received the wallet.
“thank you.”
“no.”
So I left the apartment.
I picked up my watch and made a call.
To my older sister.
-What’s going on? I still have to go to Korea…
“Jin Tae-seop, he’s dead now.”
-……what?
“I threw it from the 26th floor of the apartment. There’s no way it could survive. That’s why I’m asking. What have you been doing up until now instead of killing it?”
* * *
Texas Hotel Suite.
Jinsong was checking her own physical condition there.
I quietly turned on the status window.
[Name: Jin Song-i]
[Occupation: Salvation Guild Guild Master]
[*Title: Light Magician]
[Level: 595]
[Current rating: SSS-]
[Potential Rating: *Undecided]
[Achievements: 45]
[Stat]
[Strength: S+] [Agility: SS+] [Intelligence: SS] [Stamina: SS] [Mana (Internal Energy): ??]
[Remaining stat points: 25]
The hologram that appeared in front of my nose was quite different from before.
To be exact, only one thing has changed, but that one thing is huge.
The number of mana has become a question mark.
Even though I’ve leveled up and have some remaining stat points, there’s no way I can simply raise my stat by one level with just 1 point.
As your rank increases, the remaining stat points required increase rapidly.
To upgrade from S+ to SS-, you need at least 200 remaining stat points. Right now, that’s a meaningless number.
Jinsong-i felt the changes in the status window as changes in her body. Jinsong-i quietly snapped her fingers.
‘Six’ spheres appear around her.
It didn’t end there.
I think it will be more.
Jinsong sent an idea.
Then two more spheres appeared in the air.
How on earth do I explain this?
It wasn’t like Shifu had done anything big.
I just tapped the body.
But the body became more sensitive to mana.
It has become easier to feel mana and more free to operate.
There was a wall blocking the space, and it feels like that wall has collapsed.
‘Just how strong is Shihou?’
