In the past, I was the type of person who would just avoid conflict with other superhumans.
Because I was weak.
In the world of superhumans, I’m below average no matter how you look at it.
There were many more superhumans stronger than me, and in the superhuman world, strength was everything.
In the superhuman world, I was mostly in the position of
In order to survive, you had to please the strong.
Even when treated unfairly, they just endure it, pretend not to see or hear, and have no self-respect and just act like it’s nothing…
But you know what?
“I won’t live like that anymore.”
Being forced to return sucked, but I didn’t want to live a shitty second life either.
At my words, Jang Seok-hyeon, who had been stepping back for a moment, stepped forward.
“Because the kid keeps telling me to listen. Are you sure you want to try this?”
Jang Seok-hyeon thwarted the metal gloves he was wearing on both hands with a “Kkaang!”
Close combat is Jang Seok-Hyeon’s specialty.
I learned the basics of punching from that guy.
I mean, getting hit like a sandbag.
Wow. Thinking back on the old days brings back new memories.
I said, tapping the mat I was sitting on with my palm.
“I told you to take it. If you have the ability.”
“This kid···.”
Jang Seok-hyeon’s face turned bright red at my provocation.
The fat man and the thin man both had stiff expressions.
“We can resolve this through friendly conversation.”
“I guess it seemed too easy···.”
At their wink, more than ten supermen surrounded us.
But I couldn’t attack first without thinking.
They needed a reason to punish me, at least an excuse.
The fat man said.
“Apologize now!”
“What am I?”
When I asked again, the thin man started to eat the leftover rice.
“We made a polite request, and you are not being rude. Your attitude and tone towards industry seniors are also like that… This can only be seen as the White House Guild ignoring us.”
The fat man clapped his hands.
“If you formally apologize and give me the samples from the sack as a token of your apology, we can move on from today’s issue.”
“To be honest, we came first and started fighting, so weren’t you easily captured?”
Baek Yeong-hee, who heard everything that the fat and thin people were saying, shouted in an indignant voice.
-That’s ridiculous. Where can you find such nonsense!
Rather, Baek Young-hee seemed more angry than me.
I chuckled and tried to comfort her.
“You probably don’t know because you only work as a manager. In the field, the stronger one has the upper hand.”
I have experienced this kind of excuse countless times.
A man who came late and claimed his rights to the spoils.
A guy who stole other people’s prey by relying on the power of a large guild.
People who believe in numbers like this and start arguing.
It was really annoying.
“What if you can’t apologize?”
Their lips twitched at my answer. They must have thought I had fallen for their provocation.
On the other hand, Baek Young-hee seemed quite worried about me.
– Team 2 will be back soon. I’ll send support to them right away. Team Leader. You’ll be angry, but don’t give in to the opponent’s provocation and take your time…
“I’ll take care of this.”
I took out the ear mic and put it in my pocket. Then I dusted myself off and got up from my seat.
I looked around at those who surrounded me.
12 superhumans dispatched from 3 guilds.
Three of them are team leaders.
It’s a huge number for me to deal with alone.
What if you reveal all your hidden talents and even use your individuality?
Well, I don’t think that’s necessary.
Because I am not alone.
I spoke to Lily, whose expression had been frozen since a while ago.
“When I give the signal, set everything around here on fire. It’ll make these kids panic.”
The little boy nodded quietly at my words.
He’s usually a cheeky brat who thinks of me as a maid, but he’s really dependable at times like this.
“Can I burn it?”
“You can’t kill them. It’s annoying.”
“What if I just lightly grill the outside?”
“···What kind of steak is a person?”

A murderous sound, as if someone might say she’s a witch.
“no?”
“Well, I guess it’ll be okay as long as I don’t die.”
I patted the little one’s head and stepped forward.
I was thinking of making a cool statement like an action movie star and starting a fight.
“Come at me···.”
That was when.
Woooooooooo-!
Everyone’s heads turned in the same direction at the sudden surge of mana.
Woof woof woof woof!
The gate, which had been quiet for a while after pouring out a lot of snails, was shaking like crazy.
Bumpy.
The gate bulged strangely, then tore open with a loud cracking sound.
And then something huge fell out of it.
Ku-ung!
The height is equivalent to a three-story building.
The shell was a mixture of red and orange, and the skin was a gloomy gray.
Slurp.
It was a monster snail with dozens of tentacles.
The moment that guy showed up, the value of my sack was reduced to that of a recyclable trash bag.
“He’s a big guy!”
“Prepare for battle!”
The three team leaders shouted almost simultaneously, and the superhumans turned around and formed a formation in perfect order.
At that sight, I muttered in despair.
“Did I just get pushed by a snail…”
At that moment, the team leaders turned to look at me. Their eyes were gleaming with greed.
“You don’t get involved in this battle!”
“If you try to sneak in and get hit by our attack, we can’t take responsibility!”
“Take that sack and go back!”
A friendly warning that engaging in this fight could get you hurt – in fact, it would.
As for the monster snails that appear on the main menu, they were saying that they wanted to eat them among themselves.
“Hmm.”
I stared at the monster snail for a moment, then slung the sack over my shoulder and stepped back.
“Then that’s right.”
“You cowardly little brat.”
I heard such sounds from behind my back.
I put the mic back in the car and took out the ear mic and put it back on.
Immediately, Baek Yeong-hee’s voice was heard. It seemed like she had heard everything.
-Team Leader! What are you doing now? We need to go and fight! We need to hit them at least once so we can claim ownership of the loot later!
I leisurely folded my arms and watched the fight between the snails and the superhumans that had just begun.
“Don’t worry.”
A giant snail that just tore through the gate and appeared.
Those are on a whole different level from the snails that appeared before, that would explode like firecrackers if you touched them.
It is indeed a ‘monster level’.
I’ve seen it in the Pokedex.
“With that power, you can never catch that thing. Unless you know the strategy.”
Of course, the Pokedex I saw also included a strategy guide.
***
“Tanks, get on board!”
Five superhumans simultaneously blocked the monster snail.
Armed with thick armor and shields, they seemed to have halted the snail’s advance.
For a very short while, that is.
The monster snail continued to advance as if it didn’t care about the humans blocking its path.
“Ugh···!”
“What power···!”
The superhumans clinging to the front of the snail began to back away.
Being pushed out by force wasn’t the only problem.
Cheeeeek!
The mucus flowing from the snail’s skin began to melt the superhumans’ shields and armor.
“Kwaaaaak!”
A superhuman covered in mucus screamed and stepped back, his face disfigured as if he had been doused with hydrochloric acid.
The team leaders’ expressions hardened when they saw that the monster snail they had thought was easy was stronger than expected.
“Dealers! Cut off the tentacles first!”
The superhumans split up left and right and started attacking the tentacles. But that wasn’t easy either.
Slippery.
The blade slipped as it touched the tentacle. Instead, the monster snail used its tentacles to attack the superhumans.
Whirlyrick!
A tentacle that had grown long like a whip wrapped around one of the superhumans and blew him into the air.
-Kwaaaaang!
When they saw a building collapsing in the distance, the superhumans finally realized that their opponent was formidable.
But I guess he still thinks he can catch it.
“Everyone be nervous!”
“Get behind the tanks!”
“Once the tank falls, unleash a ranged attack!”
At the shouts of the team leaders, the tanks all fell back.
At that moment, the slowest moving man among the tankers caught my eye.
He is as tall as a telephone pole, but his body is pitifully thin.
It was a face I knew from the past.
Name: Wang Gu-ho. Nickname: Hogu-wang.
Jang Seok-hyeon kicked Wang Gu-ho’s shin as he slowly backed away.
“You little punk! Move quickly!”
Wang Guho slowly bent down his petrified body and spoke.
“sorry.”
At that slow speech, Jang Seok-hyeon shouted as if he was about to burst.
“I told you to show your individuality when you speak!”
However, even after releasing his personality, Wang Gu-ho did not become very quick-witted. He looked around and when given the order, he stepped forward and blocked the snail with his whole body.
A slow, half-tank that can’t attack at all.
That was the reason why Wang Gu-ho was the scapegoat of the Black Hound Guild.
“Damn it! Where did this monster come from!”
The superhumans couldn’t hit the monster snail at all.
The tanks, unable to withstand the corrosive mucus, began to fall off one by one, and although the dealers managed to cut off a few tentacles, new ones soon grew back.
Slurp.
The monster snail did not stop moving forward.
As the number of superhumans who were unable to fight increased, the speed of their advance became faster and faster.
“no way···.”
“Hey, you’re not coming all the way here, are you?”
From behind, the terrified police could be heard muttering.
If things continued like this, it seemed like they would go over the barricade.
The sight of the building walking towards them was enough to terrify people.
Eventually, the superhumans gave up hunting the monster snail.
“Stand back until support arrives!”
“Retreat for now!”
At the team leaders’ command, the superhumans fell back at the same time as if they had been waiting.
It was a virtual declaration of surrender.
But not everyone could move quickly.
Wang Guho.
He was the only one left among the tanks to block the monster snails, and he slowly turned around with a surprised expression.
The other superhumans had already retreated to near the barricade.
Wang Guho’s eyes were wide with fear.
“Take me···too···!”
Jang Seok-hyeon, who was injured so badly that his right arm bone was visible, screamed.
“You little brat! Get out on your own! Just let out your personality and run!”
If you release your personality, Wang Gu-ho will die. That’s because the monster snail’s mucus will cover his entire body.
“help···.”
Wang Guho turned his head and looked at the other superhumans.
But even in the same guild, no one was willing to take a chance on an abandoned superhuman.
Whirlirik!
A tentacle wrapped around Wang Gu-ho. Wang Gu-ho planted his feet on the ground and held on.
however,
Whirlyrick! Whirlyrick!
I couldn’t hold out any longer as three tentacles wrapped around my body at once.
“no···.”
Wang Gu-ho’s body was lifted into the air.
It would have been okay if he had just thrown it far away, but the monster snail took the king’s relief into its mouth.
“Help me···.”
Everyone ignored his pitiful cries.
That’s when I stepped forward.
“Tsk. Those things are also colleagues.”
Choaaaah!
The tentacles were cut off, and Wang Guho’s body fell to the floor with a thud!
I could have accepted it from below, but I didn’t.
If you petrify this thing, it’ll be incredibly heavy.
Of course, he still seemed very grateful.
Wang Gu-ho slowly got up and looked at me.
“Oh, thank you···.”
I cut him off mid-sentence, knowing that if I listened to the end I would be heartbroken.
“Wang Gu-ho. Your personality isn’t written like that.”
“yes···?”
“If you have any questions, come see me later.”
This guy has a misunderstanding of his own personality.
How do you know that?
Because in the future, there will be superhumans with personalities like this guy.
And he is a superhuman who is called a hero.
“It’s annoying, so run away quickly. Let’s talk later.”
At my words, Wang Gu-ho released his temper and ran away in a panic.
Now all that was left was me, Lily, and the monster snail.
Okay, now that all the intruders are out, shall we get to the main menu?
“Little one. Let’s get started.”
Lily nodded vigorously at my words.
“huh!”
The little boy was now full of motivation.
After work, we decided to go eat some barbecue chicken.
Whoosh whoosh!
Flames burst out from all sides, trapping the monster snail.
“Then shall we go in?”
We walked into the fire.
