[Episode 12] The Savior (1)
After a brief reunion, my grandfather went up to the rooftop to go to work.
The rooftop was filled with a greater variety of plants than before, but the most striking of these was the trunk of the world tree that surrounded the entire house.
It was amazing how the sunlight reached the rooftop.
“How have you been?”
“How are you doing?”
Woohoo—
“How have you been?”
Grandfather spread green vitality in all directions.
Since it had become a single entity, it seemed to be supplying life force instead of water.
He spoke to that grandfather.
“Grandpa, shall I show you something interesting?”
“Huh?”
I reached out toward one of the small garden plots my grandfather had created.
There was a hose there that usually supplied water to the garden, but it had been dry for a while because there had been no water supplied.
But then a stream of water started gushing out from there.
“How is it, Grandpa?”
The grandfather frowned when he saw that and said.
“Are you using the water from the water tank? Arthur, it’s not even enough to use the toilet.”
The main house was quite old, so there was a water tank on the roof.
When I checked there, the water was almost gone.
The gas used was LPG gas cylinders, not city gas, and those had already been used up long ago.
“No, Grandpa.”
I created water out of thin air and held it in the palm of my invisible hand.
“I’m making it.”
The grandfather looked carefully at the water floating in the air and asked.
“Is this real?”
“Yes. The water tank is full. So is the gas. The electricity will come on.”
“Is that all your ability?”
“Yes. From now on, we can live normally like before. There won’t be any monsters attacking us either.”
“What are you talking about?”
I gave my grandfather a brief explanation of my abilities.
In addition, the task of transferring all authority over the people who were with my grandfather to him was also carried out.
“If you raise your trust, you’ll unlock loyalty. If you raise it to 30, you’ll be able to register as a vassal. Since your grandfather is your second cousin, you can register up to three people.”
“hmm…”
From what I could tell, you didn’t seem to understand the system.
It might be a bit of a difficult concept for my grandfather. He had never played computer games and was not yet familiar with using a smartphone.
‘If I teach you slowly, Grandpa will get used to it!’
I don’t know about anything else, but I wanted to make sure you knew about the registration system.
Grandfather was quietly doing his work.
He said this while looking at the persimmons being picked and the lettuce being harvested.
“I’ll go down and take a look.”
“Oi.”
I could have walked down there myself, but I activated the Eye of the Absolute to test out my newly acquired skill.
And looking at the bedroom on the first floor.
‘Teleport.’
Shush—
I was able to go straight to where my mother and grandmother were.
Apart from feeling a little dizzy immediately after moving, there was nothing unusual.
‘It’s used like this too! ‘
Teleportation is also possible with the eyes of the Absolute.
‘It seems like it would be quite useful!’
The Absolute’s Gate skill had restrictions on where the door was, but teleportation had no such restrictions. It was just that the mental power consumed increased as the distance increased.
Perhaps because I had been working hard to build up my mental strength, teleporting once didn’t feel like much of a burden.
“mom.”
“Jaehyun? Didn’t you go up to the roof? Where’s your grandfather?”
“They’re working upstairs. How’s grandma doing?”
“You just look like you’re asleep. Fortunately, your complexion is good, and there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with you.”
Since my mother had worked in a nursing home for a long time, she could tell whether something was serious or not. Thanks to my grandfather’s regular supply of vital energy, my grandmother was in perfect health.
“That’s fortunate.”
I thought as I looked at my mother nursing my grandmother with worried eyes.
‘I gained my mother’s powers.’
Contract of subordination.
As your mother’s trust level reaches 100, you gain the ability to raise 100 Awakened people.
Candidates who could be made into Awakeners immediately came to mind.
‘People with high loyalty, people who were active in hunting.’
Among them, those with good abilities should be accepted as vassals.
‘Generally, when those with high-level abilities become vassals, they show higher levels and better abilities.’

As I was checking the skill window and making plans for the future, there was a list that was glowing faintly.
Summon Recover (1/10)
‘what?’
I checked.
‘Huh?’
[Recovery Summon] (10,000,000,000 won) (Activate)
The 10 billion won recovery summon button was activated.
Summon the recovery.
There was no need to worry since I had already confirmed with my own eyes the abilities that Samjok-O possessed.
Because it was an investment of 10 billion won that was worth it.
‘Summon Recovery’
[10,000,000,000 won is consumed as a summoning cost.]
Immediately after that.
Woohoo
The soft green light spread out in all directions, drawing graceful curves.
The moment a magic circle filled with gorgeous patterns is completed.
Phaaaat!
A green egg was hatched.
It looked as if it was surrounded by fresh, green leaves.
Soon, the buds began to open and something was born within them.
It was a fairy, with wings and a dress that resembled a single pink flower bud.
“Fairy (Lv. 1)”
It smiled broadly with its small mouth and flapped its wings.
Every time the fairy flapped her wings, a sparkling powder-like substance flew in all directions.
It raised its small body and after several trials and errors succeeded in flying.
It hovered around me, then settled on my shoulder, spread its arms, and hugged my face.
‘So cute.’
That was when.
“Ahem.”
The door opened and the old man appeared.
He came down after finishing work on the rooftop.
As soon as he came down, the grandfather immediately checked on the grandmother’s condition.
Woohoo
The moment when the green vitality spread evenly throughout Grandma’s body.
Parrr
The fairy quickly flew there and absorbed the green energy that the grandfather was emitting with his whole body.
“Huh? What is this?”
[The level of the fairy has increased.]
[Natural recovery rate within the area increases by 100%.]
At that moment, Grandfather’s expression turned scary.
Sarurur
The fairy flapped her wings over Grandma, scattering sparkling powder.
At that moment, as if it were a lie, the grandmother opened her eyes.
“!!!”
Grandmother looked at Grandfather’s dirty hands with her half-asleep eyes and said something.
“Grandpa. How many times did I tell you to wash your hands after coming back from the rooftop…”
and.
“Why am I so sleepy….”
The old woman, who had been covering her mouth and yawning, fell asleep again.
One beat late.
“Grandma! Honey! Come to your senses!”
Although the grandfather urged the grandmother, the grandmother just took a deep breath with a relaxed expression on her face.
Then, this time, the grandfather spoke to the fairy.
“You? What did you do?”
Then, he poured green vitality towards the fairy.
“Just one more time. Just try one more time!”
But the fairy stretched as if she was tired, then fell to her side and fell asleep.
“Just try it one more time!”
“grandfather.”
“Huh?”
“Calm down.”
When I faced the excited grandfather, I saw tears gathering in his eyes.
He continued, pretending not to notice his grandfather quickly stealing it.
“Please continue to supply vitality to this guy regularly. Then, as the fairy’s level increases, the time it takes for Grandma to wake up will also increase.”
And one day, Grandma will completely wake up.
“Is that true?”
“sure.”
It seemed that the summoning of the Reincarnation was not something that simply appeared randomly.
‘It is related to the World Tree.’
That means that each summoning of other creatures has its own set of conditions.
That was when.
[Citizen Shim Kyung-taek has passed away.]
Messages of death from citizens have been appearing little by little since a while ago.
Perhaps they are the citizens who were accepted into the newly built annex.
In places where there are apartment complexes, relief teams would go around and treat people, but that wasn’t the case here.
‘Hundreds more people will die in the future’
If possible, I would have brought them here, but the relief team was currently busy rescuing people outside the area.
It was the same whether there or here, there were people dying.
But depending on where you were, life and death were at stake.
‘It’s not just here.’
People are probably dying all over the country and the world right now.
People who die from monsters, people who starve to death while trapped in their homes, and people who die fighting monsters.
Countless numbers must be dying like that.
‘Why on earth did this happen?’
It was a question that had always been on my mind.
Why did monsters appear, and why did so many people have to die?
But every time, the world did not give me an answer.
‘The first objective was achieved.’
Saving my family.
I was really lucky.
Thanks to the fact that my entire family was Awakened, I was able to survive in this world safely.
Now, if only Grandma would wake up, it would be perfect.
‘Second objective is..’
There has always been a question that has been with me about why the world has changed this way.
Why was I given such great power?
Ha Dong-geon, Oh Eun-joo, Kim Da-jeong, Seo Ye-jin, etc.
Compared to ordinary Awakened people, the abilities I possessed were enormous.
The only person whose abilities can be compared to mine is my grandfather.
But even that was actually a bit lacking compared to the abilities I had.
I also thought that maybe they were given that ability because they were my family.
So then again, why was I given such great power?
I kept asking, but as always, the world did not give me the answers, and I had to figure them out myself.
‘They say with great power comes great responsibility!’
It was a famous line from a movie in my memories.
If the line delivered to the main character in the movie is still etched in my memory, then it must have had a lot of meaning to me.
‘The second goal is… a little embarrassing, but it’s to save our country!’
Honestly, I don’t know about the world.
However, if I continued to level up steadily like I was doing now and built a annex with the money I earned, I thought I could probably get to a place like Korea on my own.
‘At least as much as I can’
The total number of people I can currently grant citizenship to is 220,000.
Shouldn’t we at least fill this up?
Of those, the population I filled in was only 10,000.
‘Come to think of it, I thought you said that jobs were created when the number of people exceeded 10,000?’
It was said that citizens could obtain jobs, but there was no change in the citizen management window.
‘Should I build a vocational research center first? Construction mode.’
Newly added construction list.
-Vocational Research Institute (2,500,000,000 won)
《Job Research Institute》 (Lv. 1)
A research institute that studies citizens’ occupations.
Occupations for which research has been completed can be acquired voluntarily by citizens.
Current available occupations
-Hunter: Obtains byproducts of prey.
It seemed that the vocational training institute would require a separate, large site.
There happened to be a flat area within the area that the Cyclops had tamped down in a mess.
I imagined an image of building a research institute based on that place.
‘Construction of a vocational research institute.’
[This facility requires 30 citizens during the construction period (7 days).]
[During the construction period, 30 citizens living there will be paid a daily wage of 200,000 won.]
[Do you really want to install it?]
[Yes/No]
I felt like I needed to talk to Kim Da-bin and save 30 construction workers.
