Episode 1
Prologue
A woman was humming, unable to contain her excitement.
In front of her were colorful macarons and a cup of strong coffee.
It was the greatest happiness that kept her alive during her tiring work.
You could say it’s the joy of life.
“Hehehehehehe~ Coffee and macarons, of course
“The combination is the best!”
The woman put the whole macaron in her tiny mouth and munched on it.
At that moment, my throat suddenly became tight.
I think I was too greedy.
The woman thumped her chest and picked up her coffee cup urgently.
“Slurp… ah, hot!”
Maybe it was because I was in too much of a hurry.
A woman who burned her lips with hot coffee spilled the coffee in surprise.
“no!”
While I was working, coffee spilled on my important typewriter.
The woman looked around anxiously, wondering if anyone had seen her.
Fortunately, no one saw it.
“I guess just wiping it roughly will do? Hehe.”
I wiped the typewriter with a cloth and the coffee stains disappeared.
The woman smiled with satisfaction as she looked at the now-clean typewriter.
Until this moment, she didn’t know.
Let’s see what disaster this minor mistake could lead to.
***
Choi Hyun-seok is dead.
The flowery age of twenty-nine.
I never imagined that my life would end so soon.
“Haa… If I had known this would happen, I would have enjoyed life a little more.”
If I were to describe Choi Hyun-seok’s life in one sentence, I would say it was a short but intense life.
Heavyweight champion of the world’s largest mixed martial arts league.
Choi Hyun-seok, who was called a man with a god-given physique, was the best fighter in Korea.
No, he was the best fighter in the world.
Innate talent and constant effort.
Choi Hyun-seok won the champion title at the age of twenty-seven.
Over the next two years, he defeated every challenger by a landslide.
At some point, people started calling Choi Hyun-seok this.
The strongest man in the world.
It is a great achievement that every man has dreamed of at least once.
Nevertheless, after death, all that remained in Choi Hyun-seok’s heart was regret.
“Ha! A truck hit me. I really have bad luck.”
Choi Hyun-seok was hit by a truck and died.
It was an absurd thing that could only happen in a cartoon.
At first, I wasn’t even angry because it was so absurd.
Then, gradually, anger began to build up.
“What did I do so wrong!?”
If there is a God, I want to grab him by the collar and shake him right now.
Why? Why now, exactly?
I’m finally starting to live a great life!
I’ve been working out like an idiot my whole life and now I’m finally trying to enjoy life!
Choi Hyun-seok decided to retire at the relatively young age of 29.
I gave up my champion title and vowed to live a normal life without fighting anymore.
As if on cue, he was hit by a truck and died that very day.
“If it was going to be like this, you should have killed me a long time ago!”
Choi Hyun-seok couldn’t control his anger and shouted.
All that comes back is an empty echo.
“after…”
Some time passes.
My heart, which had been pounding violently, gradually calms down.
Soon, Choi Hyun-seok accepted reality.
“Yeah. I’m dead.”
Choi Hyun-seok collapsed.
The pure white clouds that covered the ground gently embraced him.
“It’s so vain. What is this, having never experienced one of those common relationships?”
I felt like an idiot for having only exercised my whole life.
If I had my life to live over again, I would never do it that way.
“It’s better now. Life was so hard. Now let’s just relax.”
You don’t have to train so hard that you bleed anymore.

You no longer have to fight against fierce and scary competitors.
When I let everything go, I felt more at ease.
“By the way, how long are we going to be like this?”
How long has it been since I came here?
I don’t know the exact time, but it felt like more than half a day.
But the sun still rises in the same position.
Choi Hyun-seok was alone here.
“I don’t know! It’s already over, so what does it matter?”
What is there to fear when you are already dead?
Choi Hyun-seok lay down on the clouds in the shape of the letter “大”.
Then the surrounding scenery began to come into view.
Blue sky.
The dazzling sun.
It was a pretty nice view.
“Dying isn’t as bad as I thought.”
The moment when Choi Hyun-seok spoke comfortably.
Light poured down from the sky with a sound effect of “Sharara~”.
Choi Hyun-seok jumped up and looked up at the sky.
“I’m sorry! You must have kept me waiting!?”
“angel…?”
***
Pure white wings.
Hair that shines golden.
Facial features that look like they were sculpted by an artist.
She was such a beauty that it was hard to believe she was real.
When we put all this together, the conclusion is the same.
‘You’re an angel…’
The woman in front of him was clearly an angel.
Choi Hyun-seok looked back on his life and regretted it again.
‘If I had known this would happen, I would have started going to church sooner!’
Choi Hyun-seok deeply regretted it.
Who would have thought that such a beautiful angel would be waiting for them after death?
If I had known this fact, I would have lived as a truly devout Christian.
“Mr. Choi Hyun-seok. Sorry for keeping you waiting! There was a backlog of people waiting.”
“No. Haha!”
Choi Hyun-seok hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, “There are a lot of reporters waiting,” but soon gave up.
When you have an angel right before your eyes, what else matters?
“Let me introduce myself formally! My name is Rachel. I am in charge of scouting people who have passed away on Earth.”
“scout?”
“Yes! Scout! Do you know what it is?”
Of course I knew.
Because Choi Hyun-seok was a sports star.
Scouting, simply put, is the process of finding, discovering, and recruiting talented individuals.
But I couldn’t see what that had to do with the current situation.
Choi Hyun-seok asked calmly.
“Please explain in more detail. Aren’t you an angel?” “Angel? Hmm… kind of! You can be Choi Hyun-seok’s angel. Haha!”
Rachel smiled a bright, businesslike smile.
Something looks fishy…
Choi Hyun-seok desperately swallowed the words that were rising to his throat.
“So. What do you mean Scout? I’m already dead.” “That’s right! This is not the time!”
Suddenly Rachel approached him with a serious expression.
“Mr. Choi Hyun-seok.”
“yes.”
“Aren’t you disappointed!?”
“yes?”
Why are you asking me right away if I feel sorry?
What are you trying to say?
“You died without ever having a romantic relationship like everyone else.”
“…”
“You spent your whole life exercising, but then you got hit by a truck and your life ended. Don’t you feel wronged?” “Uh… well…”
Choi Hyun-seok became dizzy from the mental violence that suddenly started.
Rachel didn’t let Choi Hyun-seok come to his senses.
“Mr. Choi Hyun-seok!”
“Hey, it’s so close…”
Rachel pushed her face close.
Choi Hyun-seok raised his hand to push her away, but Rachel grabbed his hand and continued speaking.
“Don’t you want to become a warrior!?”
“Are you a warrior?”
“Yes! Warrior!”
Rachel nodded with a very serious expression on her face.
“There is a world suffering from the Demon King. I believe that Mr. Choi Hyun-seok will definitely become a great warrior and save them!” “No. Even if you suddenly say something like that…”
The pace of development is too fast.
Rachel wanted to say something, but she didn’t let Choi Hyun-seok have any doubts.
“Mr. Choi Hyun-seok has two choices.”
“Suddenly?”
“Yes! One is to reincarnate like this and spend this life as a pitiful old bachelor with no meaning.”
Rachel said, wiping away her unshed tears.
“It’s sad just to imagine it, right? Sob, sob!”
“Oh, yes…”
“But don’t worry, there’s another option!”
Rachel said with a strong look in her eyes and a shout in her voice.
“The other option is to be resurrected as a warrior with your current body and mind and save the world!”
It was obvious to anyone that he was trying to make the latter choice.
To be honest, I feel so uneasy.
It seems like there might be some bad intentions hidden there.
“Uhm…..”
Choi Hyun-seok shook his head.
Even though Choi Hyun-seok was a very wise man, he wasn’t stupid enough to just let something like this pass.
“Please give me some time to think about it. I would also like to hear a more detailed explanation.”
When I asked for an explanation, Rachel’s face instantly crumpled like a piece of paper.
Soon she returned with a refreshing smile as if nothing had happened.
“Mr. Choi Hyun-seok! Now is not the time to be leisurely explaining things like that.”
Rachel grabbed Choi Hyun-seok’s shoulder and shouted.
“Don’t you feel bad about dying like this?” “Well, that’s fine, but first, let me explain…” “What kind of explanation is needed?! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! He appears in a lot of novels, comics, and animations, right? Awesome warrior! Haven’t you ever seen one?”
“…”
“Fu! Honor! A chance to monopolize the beauty! I’ll get my life back that I wasted this time!”
“therefore…”
“What a frustrating person you are!”
Rachel beat her chest with her fist.
“Do you need to worry? If you don’t accept this offer, Mr. Choi Hyun-seok’s life will end here. Don’t you feel bad? I’m giving Mr. Choi Hyun-seok a new chance.” “That’s true…”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded without realizing it.
If you think about it, there was nothing wrong with what that angel said.
‘I don’t think it’s time to be picky about my situation right now.’
He himself is dead.
A life that was supposed to end here.
But then this beautiful woman named Rachel offers him a new chance at life.
That too, a chance to live as a warrior.
‘A warrior. A warrior…’
childhood.
Choi Hyun-seok also had a pure heart.
Cool warriors who appear in novels and comics.
I used to let my imagination run wild as I watched them finally defeat the Demon King and take everything.
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes began to shine.
‘I will become a warrior…’
A warrior who monopolizes wealth, fame, and beauty!
“Hero! Hero! Hero! When you wake up, the village chief of the countryside will come running barefoot and treat you to food while saying, “Hero~!” The hero will follow the village chief’s request and complete the mission wonderfully!”
“…”
“It doesn’t end there. When I finished my mission and came back, what the heck? The village chief’s youngest daughter was a pure beauty in her twenties!? At that time, the village chief would say something in a sly tone.”
Rachel cleared her throat and her voice became thicker.
“Ahem! Hey, Hero. My daughter is of humble origins, but if you take her in, I, a country bumpkin, could ask for nothing more!”
Choi Hyun-seok became more and more absorbed in Rachel’s story.
“The warrior just has to choose. A pure love that only looks at one woman? Or a harem kingdom with the most beautiful women on the continent? A warrior can do anything!”
“ah…”
Choi Hyun-seok just nodded his head repeatedly with a blank expression.
“Huh?”
Suddenly Rachel checked her wrist.
There was a crude clock drawn with a marker pen.
“Time is up, Mr. Choi Hyun-seok. I have one last question for you. Will you accept my offer?”
“that…”
“If you keep worrying about it, I’ll take it as a rejection and go now.”
“yes?”
“End this life as an old bachelor, and try your best in the next life!”
While doing so, he mutters, ‘Well, there’s no guarantee that I’ll be reincarnated as a human in my next life.’
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok raised his hand urgently as if he had seen the phrase “the closing time is imminent” on the home shopping channel.
“Let’s do it!”
“yes?”
“I will! That warrior!” “I knew that Mr. Choi Hyun-seok would accept! You can tell just by looking at him that he has ‘Righteous Man!’ written on his forehead.”
Rachel smiled brightly and cheered.
“I’m already dead anyway. What can’t I do? Let’s do it.” “Yes! Let’s get started right away!”
“as soon as?”
“What are you waiting for? A wonderful other world is waiting for the hero Choi Hyun-seok!”
I understand what Rachel is saying.
Everything is good, but why are you going like this all of a sudden without any preparation?
Rachel didn’t leave Choi Hyun-seok to worry.
“Fu! Honor! A great adventure to win a beauty! We cannot delay even for a moment. Even now, countless people are eagerly waiting for the hero to appear!”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded with a trembling face at Rachel’s words.
“Let’s go. Yes…”
“Then bye! Have a wonderful adventure!”
When Rachel waved her hand, Choi Hyun-seok disappeared.
Rachel, finally left alone, frowned.
“Whew! I’m so busy, why do I have so many worries?”
Rachel sighed and sat down on the chair, crossing her legs.
And then contact someone.
“Yes, yes! The 137,421st reserve warrior you mentioned, Choi Hyun-seok. I’ve safely completed the move! Yes! Of course! Who am I~ Don’t worry. Oh, the bonus will be sent right away… .”
***
A bright light enveloped my eyelids.
When Choi Hyun-seok woke up, his head felt like it was going to split open.
“What? I definitely…” Choi Hyun-seok searched his memory.
“Wealth! Honor! Beauty! Everything is waiting for Choi Hyun-seok!”
Memories that are gradually becoming clearer.
‘Yes. I said I would go on an adventure to become a warrior.’
That was when.
An unfamiliar voice was heard from next to me.
“Open your eyes… . Wake up… .”
I couldn’t quite make out what he was saying.
But, it doesn’t matter.
Because the content was obvious anyway.
It was clear that it was a voice seeking a warrior.
Isn’t this a common repertoire?
Open your eyes, warrior! Rise up, warrior!
As Choi Hyun-seok was thinking these trivial thoughts, a voice came to his ears again.
“I think I’ll gouge out your eyes. Aren’t you going to wake up?”
“huh?”
The dialogue is a little… no, a lot different.
The moment Choi Hyun-seok realized something was strange.
A tremendous shock struck his abdomen.
“Cough!”
My mind was blown and I was dumbfounded at the same time.
Kicking from the very first moment we met.
Where has Choi Hyun-seok ever been hit like this?
Heavyweight champion in mixed martial arts.
A man who holds the title of the strongest man in the world.
Kick yourself like that?
It’s something that can’t be done unless you’ve given up your life on gambling fraud.
Choi Hyun-seok quickly got up from his seat.
“What kind of a bastard is he? He died… .”
Choi Hyun-seok, who was about to shout, “Do you want to die!?” suddenly stopped.
‘what…?’
Something was strange.
Huge muscular chest.
And a chest with red skin filled his vision.
Choi Hyun-seok slowly raised his head.
Only after bending his head back for a long time was he able to see the face of the man who had kicked him.
“who are you…?”
The head is like a cow’s head.
I was very embarrassed.
“What are you doing lying around here? Judging by your attire, you don’t look like a normal slave.”
Choi Hyun-seok didn’t know what to say in response.
Because I was so, so embarrassed.
Choi Hyun-seok’s height is 198 cm.
But it’s one head bigger than that.
And what about those muscles that feel like they’re going to burst?
Red skin.
Menacing horns on the head of a cow.
Even flames were rising from the horns.
“therefore…”
It would be strange to remain sane in the face of such a monster.
“First of all, he is a warrior…”
“Hero? Hero~?”
The word warrior that came out by chance.
When Sodaegari heard those words, his face suddenly crumpled.
“You’re a warrior?”
The cow’s head pushed its hideous, huge face right in.
Just a minute ago, a beauty was sticking her face in like this.
There was a huge temperature difference.
“So, um…”
Choi Hyun-seok swallowed hard and shook his head desperately.
What should I say?
He clearly said that he would become a warrior.
But even if you look hard, the monster in front of you is not the innocent village chief waiting for a hero.
“I hate having to say it twice. You’re a warrior?”
Choi Hyun-seok slowly nodded his head at the bastard’s words.
“Uh… maybe a warrior…?”
That’s how hell began.
