Relife Player 018

[Chapter 009]

[The changing future (6)]

“Damn it. What am I doing?”

Hyeon-chul grumbled as he pushed the back of the seat back to the limit.

“Haha, I will.”

The newcomer who was holding the steering wheel in the driver’s seat matched the rhythm. I was just repeating the same sounds like a machine to the question that I don’t know how many times already.

“ha.”

What is this like during Golden Week? I want to rest too.

Hyeon-chul heard that there would be a week-long holiday in May this year, and he was looking forward to the holiday.

But he was on duty in the car.

The Golden Week holiday, which everyone else takes a break from, is completely gone.

“Haa, I said I was doing it for nothing. I’d rather just live as a player. Why do I have so many things to do?”

All of this was because of the Twelve Seats.

At one time, he was the one who applied for the position that was mentioned as the best player in Korea. He also thought that if he was selected as the Twelve Seat, he would be able to fight strong people to his heart’s content.

In reality, it was a day with only excessive work.

To the point where my body itches because I can’t fight.

So was this case. As Cocoon unfolded in Seoul, the appearance of monsters decreased noticeably.

However, Cocoon was currently only enclosing the Gangbuk area. Areas unaffected by Cocoon were still teeming with monsters.

So Ga-eul Lim has been touring the country since the beginning of the year, focusing on installing cocoons.

The Twelve Seats had to accompany her on schedule to ensure her safety.

However, since <Destruction at the End of the Century>, monsters have been lurking all over the country. Comparatively, the number of monsters decreased as Seoul recovered its function as the capital city, but monsters were common outside of Seoul.

So, the installation of Cocoon had to be slow. This was because subjugation of the monsters occupying the road was prioritized before installing Cocoon.

In the meantime, people were starting a national migration under the name of the month of family.

After <Destruction at the End of the Century>, people who would not have been able to leave Seoul were moving one after another.

No matter what happens, everyone believes that Cocoon, the Twelve Seats, and the fairy will solve it.

Of course, the fairy government could not stop public opinion declaring a national movement. Insiders even said that they should use this opportunity to raise their approval ratings.

In the end, the fairy government allowed the movement of the people. While hiring a large number of players to protect them.

“Why is the road so blocked?

“It’s a great movement of the people. They say that all the roads around Seoul are in this condition.”

“It’s really annoying. I want to go home and wipe my feet and go to sleep.”

“More than that, I’m worried about September. If May is this good, how about Chuseok?”

“Even on that day, if I was on duty, I would quit twelve seats.

shit. what am i doing right now.”

“…haha, I will.”

Mana dwells in all living things.

When people start moving in large numbers, that much mana moves.

This is why Mana is bound to be ubiquitous.

And monsters are born out of omnipresence.

Even without that, people were passing by on the road infested with monsters, so the appearance of monsters had no choice but to increase.

Players were always resident on the main roads.

And the Korea Mana Management Organization increased the number of players during times when the amount of movement increased to help people move safely. Especially this year, due to the policy announcement of the fairy government, they even hired a large number of players.

As the scale grew, a role that could control the players was needed.

The Twelve Seats were the only government officials who could control them. In the end, Hyeon-cheol had no choice but to return the Golden Week holidays and put himself in the Han River bridge maintenance work.

I wouldn’t be doing this if I was older, but damn.

What was unfortunate was that the older members of the Twelve were sucking honey at the headquarters, and only the younger ones were put into field management.

“I’m sure I’ll get sick if it’s Chuseok. It might get better if I finish installing Cocoon by then.”

“It’s like this in May, but I’m going to die by Chuseok, very.

f*ck, I did the Twelve to fight the strong guys, but you know I did the Twelve to escort civilians.”

“haha….”

This time, the newcomer had no choice but to laugh without a soul.

There was no mental labor as they complained for hours on end.

After seeing Hyeon-cheol’s image known to the outside world and joining the Blaze clan, it was inevitable that he would only complain throughout the holiday season.

“These bastards. How old is the age gap between me and me? Really…”

There are a total of five members of the Twelve Seats who manage the site throughout the golden week.

All five were among the youngest members of the Twelve.

Moreover, he and the other two were selected as the Twelve Seats in their early twenties in recognition of their skills as players.

The more I thought about it, the more dissatisfied I was with the selection method.

However, his reputation and skills were bound to drop compared to the rest of the Twelve, who personally experienced <Destruction at the End of the Century>.

The player’s world is a world evaluated by ability and skill.

Even if it was the twelfth seat, it was no different.

Although the selection method was not fair, it was true that he was weaker than them.

In the end, the reason why he grumbled while looking out at the Han River was not only because of his age, but also because they were stronger than he was.

“Ha, I’m bored to death. Well, it doesn’t happen. I’ve been living in the car since morning, and my body feels sore.”

“haha….”

It’s good that things don’t happen.

The newcomer suppressed the words that were about to come out.

It wasn’t that I couldn’t fully understand why Hyeon-cheol was grumbling so much.

No matter where I went, the cars were tightly packed, so moving was slow, and the time spent congested on the road increased, which inevitably piled up stress.

Still, the skill is real.

signal has changed. After taking his foot off the brake, the newcomer kept his distance from the car in front and at the same time glanced at the back seat of the car in the rearview mirror.

Hair styled back so that the forehead is exposed.

His hair was dyed red, befitting his nickname <Yeomma>.

The ferocious eyes like those of a beast and the clumsy ear piercings added to the overall bad image.

However, unlike his appearance, he was a real man who could be called one of the 12 players representing Korea.

Of course, skill and personality are not proportional.

Rather, personality and image seem to be in proportion.

“I can’t do it. I have to listen to the radio at least. If I don’t listen to anything, I’ll go crazy like this.”

I slept so much during lunch that I couldn’t sleep.

Hyeon-chul, who struggled around in the car, eventually tried to listen to the radio to appease his boredom.

It was then.

“—Huh?”

The hand he reached out to turn on the radio stopped right in front of him.

Mana, who hadn’t been caught in the detection net just a moment ago.

As the mana, which was only a small dot, began to grow little by little, it was growing to the point where it could be detected without opening the sensor net.

“f*ck?”

It was the size of a swear word.

He frowned and quickly cast his gaze across the Han River.

The green algae-filled river was turbulent.

“Why is that?”

The newcomer who was driving tilted his head and asked. The Clan Lord, who had been grumbling without a break, seemed to be very concerned about the way he put strength on his forehead with a serious expression.

Hyeon-cheol scolded such a rookie in a disapproving tone.

“Can’t you feel this? How did you get into the Blaze? Who’s the parachute?”

“Does the Blaze even have a parachute? Opponents are supposed to knock down all opponents, right?”

“Ha, yes. A strong guy is the best.”

I wanted to give him one, but I couldn’t because it was Hyeon-cheol who created the clan with the vision that the strong are the best.

“What the hell…”

Feeling puzzled, the rookie spread the detection network around the vehicle. Then, as Hyeon-chul did, he turned his gaze toward the Han River.

“This….”

why didn’t you notice

There was such an intense energy right nearby.

The newcomer’s expression became serious. He also noticed that the mana caught in the sensor network was rapidly increasing and that it was a serious situation.

“Still, I’m glad I’m not a fool.”

Hyeoncheol clicked his tongue at the rookie who belatedly grasped the current situation.

“This is no joke.”

“I know dude.”

The point where the omnipresent mana expanded was far from the current location.

Even so, the energy spread by the ubiquitous mana was unusual, and the intuition as a player cultivated over many years resonated strongly.

“omg….”

In an instant, the iron bridge swayed. The full appearance of the ubiquitous Mana made the Han River shake.

To the extent that the river water that rose up to the railway bridge hit the car.

Since the other person was showing such a blatant reaction, there was no way that there was no one who couldn’t feel it.

The phone rang.

He answered the phone right away without even checking who it was.

“Did you feel it?”

[yes.]

There was no way he wouldn’t know who the caller was in this situation.

Like herself, the serious tone of Twelve Seats, Park Hye-rim, was felt through the phone.

“What about the hierarchy?”

[…] According to the information, it is a Kraken belonging to the third tier. It’s the monster that collapsed the Seongsu Bridge in the past.]

“The third tier…”

On the other hand, Hyeoncheol’s voice could not hide his joy. The image of him whining like a child, saying that he would die of boredom, had already disappeared.

Only the fierce eyes of a beast were burning like lions on the hunt.

“Which bridge did it appear from? They say the guys there can deal with each other? What is the scale of the damage?”

[It is said to have appeared on Seongsan Bridge. As you know, players on the field cannot respond.

It is not possible to accurately determine the extent of the damage, but the scene is said to be a disaster.]

“Huh…”

Perhaps the Seongsan Bridge was in an uproar.

Even if you don’t bother looking, hell is being staged on that bridge.

Still, Hyeoncheol couldn’t hide his joy.

He’s really a fighting maniac.

Looking sideways at Hyeoncheol’s face, who raised the corner of his mouth in the rearview mirror, the newcomer stuck out his tongue.

haha That’s why it’s not Kang Hyeon-cheol.

Didn’t he join the clan after seeing him like that?

I was a newcomer with a smile on my face without even realizing it.

If people see this scene, be very angry.

Members of the Twelve Seats, which are said to represent Korea, are only excited about catching monsters without caring about people’s safety.

But that is the player’s mandate.

The reason for the player’s existence was to destroy monsters.

Even with the Twelve Seats, it was no different.

no. Because he is a member of the Twelve Seat, he had strong feelings about killing monsters.

“Seongsandaegyo Bridge… How long does it take from here?”

“Since this place is near Wonhyo Bridge… 10 minutes at the earliest… Oh, it will take longer than that.”

Looking out at the congested road, the newcomer corrected his words. It was impossible to deviate from the road on the way, and it seemed that it would take quite a while for the cars in line to get out.

“Ha, that’s it. I’ll just go alone.”

Time could not be delayed.

Hyuncheol sighed and got out of the car without hesitation.

“Clanlord!? What are you doing now…”

“What is it? I’m going to run. It’s faster this way. It’ll take 30 minutes.”

“You’re running!? It’s a two-hour walk!?”

“Ah, I don’t know. It’s noisy. If I can do it, I can do it. You hurry up and drive the car, and send the players who have spare hands to the field.”

[Wait! Are you going to run right now!? Are you crazy? No need to… .]

“Ah, I don’t know, I don’t know!”

I gave up rolling my head from the time I was born.

Hyeon-cheol, not wanting to hear any more nagging, threw his cell phone into the car.

Then, lightly relaxing, he took out his favorite bastard sword from the trunk.

“Strength.”

Along with the spell, mana flowed out of the body and wrapped around the body.

“Hey, Clanlord.

… ?”

When the newcomer tried to catch it, albeit belatedly, it was after Hyeon-cheol, who was wrapped in mana, had disappeared.

“Hey, what are you doing on holiday?”

Inside the vehicle that didn’t move at all, the newcomer sighed.
