Episode 2
“You’re a warrior? Huh!?”
“Uh… that is…”
scary.
I was really, truly scared.
If it weren’t for the title of the strongest man in the world, I might have peed my pants a long time ago.
As Choi Hyun-seok hesitated, the face of the small-headed monster became even more distorted.
“You idiot! You’re a warrior, but you can’t even say a single word properly!?”
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok opened his eyes.
It feels like a thunderbolt is striking my head.
I have attained enlightenment.
‘Yes! I am a warrior!’
What kind of being is a warrior?
The main character of the story who survives until the end and defeats the Demon King.
The strongest in the world!
Absolutely invincible!
That’s what a warrior is.
‘So this is a practice game. It’s like a tutorial.’
The little head in front of me now is like a task to test myself.
In fact, it was clear that this guy was just a showy guy on the outside, but was actually just an empty shell.
Once you’ve defeated this monster here, the real adventure will begin.
‘Choi Hyun-seok! Be confident!’
Choi Hyun-seok squinted his eyes.
World MMA Heavyweight Champion.
The strongest man on earth.
There he now even has the title of Warrior of the Other World.
How can you go on an adventure in this harsh other world if you’re scared of the monsters you met in the tutorial!
“Don’t mess with me.”
“what…?”
For a moment, Sodaegi doubted his own ears.
The guy put his hand on his ear and slowly reached out to Choi Hyun-seok.
“Say it again. What? What? Yeah?” “I said don’t mess with me, you son of a bitch!”
Choi Hyun-seok’s lightning-like head kick struck the guy.
So many strong people I’ve met in the ring so far.
No one has ever withstood this head kick.
‘It went in properly.’
The kick went in perfectly because the guy stupidly stuck his head out.
It was when Choi Hyun-seok smiled in satisfaction at the impact.
“What are you doing now?”
The little boy looked down at Choi Hyun-seok with wide-open eyes.
Thick, twitching tendons were sticking out from the log-like neck and face of the bastard.
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes began to wander around, losing their place.
“…”
“That’s not even funny.”
The small-headed monster grabbed Choi Hyun-seok’s ankle.
At the same time, enormous pressure began to build.
My body twisted involuntarily in the crushing pain of my ankle.
“Kuaaaaaa!”
“Didn’t you clearly say you were a warrior?” “Ah… Now, wait a minute…” “If you’re a warrior, this would be funny.”
“Ugh!”
This was really dangerous.
I feel like my entire ankle is going to break.
“Warrior… Warrior. Our fortress is truly blessed. I sincerely want to ask where these crazy warriors come from.”
“Ugh…!”
Even in the midst of pain, Choi Hyun-seok desperately racked his brain.
I have to get out of this situation somehow.
If we just change positions here and move on to triangle choke…
“You will wake up after taking a deep breath, you self-proclaimed warrior.”
A large, red fist approaches.
‘Ah… this sucks.’
Choi Hyun-seok lost consciousness.
***
Red Nightmare Raidrun.
He was a senior officer in the Demon King’s Army.
Deputy Commander of the 2nd Slave Unit, under the 3rd Army Corps of the Demon King’s Army.
The reason he was called the Red Nightmare, ruling over thousands of human slaves, is simple.
Because his entire body was red like blood.
The story was passed down by word of mouth, and now it has developed into something like, ‘Where Raidrun passed on the battlefield, a river of blood flowed!’

“Hee, heeeek…! Lord Raidran!” “Thank you for your hard work!”
The 2nd Slave Unit, both soldiers and slaves, were all afraid of Raidrun.
This is not only because of the terrifying rumor of a river of blood.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
“Go, thank you!”
The aura of intimidation emanating from Raidrun.
High-ranking demon
It is because of the unique magic and atmosphere that one feels fear.
It was so powerful that any human would wet their pants and fall to their knees just by standing in front of Raidrun.
Because of this, even though Raidrun didn’t do any particular harm, everyone in the unit feared him and followed him.
A top predator that seems to have nothing to worry about.
That red nightmare Raidrun was sighing as if the ground was collapsing.
It was because of an incident that had been tiring him out lately.
“Haa… I don’t know where these crazy guys come from.”
Even though it was an incident, it wasn’t really a big deal.
It’s just that some crazy people have started appearing in the fortress recently.
“Where on earth do they come from? Did they fall from the sky…”
The people, regardless of gender, all wearing strange clothes had something loose in them.
“I am a warrior!”
The warrior has basic options.
“Attack, Demon King!”
A fool who thinks he is the Demon King.
“If you don’t hand over the gold, silver, and women immediately, I will strike you with the hammer of justice!”
Even a crazy person who doesn’t seem to know what a warrior is.
They were crazy people who clearly looked at themselves and were afraid, but still said strange things.
“No matter how many people call themselves warriors on this continent, I still don’t understand what’s going on.”
Raidrun wasn’t worried about warriors or anything like that.
Anyway, there were countless fools on this continent who called themselves warriors.
In reality, there must be dozens of ‘self-proclaimed’ warriors who died at his hands.
There is only one thing that Raidrun is worried about.
I was concerned that there might be a problem with the fortress’ defenses.
“I need to finish the fortress maintenance quickly.”
The 2nd Slave Corps was currently rebuilding the broken fortress called Hemorn.
This place is close to the battlefield.
It was a distance that was wide enough for human spies to enter and exit.
“Ugh… I don’t know.”
Raidran shook his head to shake off his complicated thoughts.
All that could be done now was to quickly complete the construction of the fortress.
‘By the way, that guy earlier…’
The warrior Choi Hyeon-seok came to mind in Raidrun’s head.
‘It was different from other fools.’
A very large and well-trained body for a human.
The movements were so quick that I ended up allowing the flying kick to hit me.
It was a blow with such force that even Raidrun was momentarily dizzy.
Although I didn’t show it in front of him.
‘I guess it would be okay to use him as a slave after teasing him well.’
It seemed like it could be quite useful if used well.
Even though he was crazy.
***
That night.
Choi Hyun-seok, who was locked in prison, kept shaking the iron bars.
“Yaaaaaaah!”
Rattling! Rattling! Rattling!
“Open this! Open it, you little shits!”
It was a natural reaction for him.
He was clearly engaged in a battle with a large demon, but he suddenly lost consciousness.
And when I opened my eyes, I was lying on a smelly, hard stone floor.
“Do you think I’ll back down like this!? Bring that little brat! Let’s have another go!”
Choi Hyun-seok screamed loudly, completely forgetting that he had lost consciousness after being hit by Raidrun.
It was clear that something was wrong when he was hit in the head.
“What kind of guy is making such a big noise!?”
That was when.
A short monster walked towards Choi Hyun-seok.
Height appears to be approximately 150cm.
He had a skinny body with pitiful, thin muscles.
“Human. Do you want to die? Aaang!?”
It’s almost funny how it looks like a child is threatening you.
But Choi Hyun-seok couldn’t laugh.
Because in his hand he was holding a sharp sword that must have been about a meter long.
The bastard kept hitting the iron bars with his sword.
“I want to die!”
The first time I’ve seen such a giant flying object in my life.
There was dried, sticky blood and flesh there.
“If you yell one more time, I’ll eat your thighs with your bare hands. Do you understand what I mean, human!?”
Choi Hyun-seok nodded with his mouth tightly shut.
Thud, thud…
After a while, when the sound of the bastard’s footsteps grew distant, Choi Hyun-seok let out a sigh of relief.
“Haa, what the heck is this…”
It’s a situation that I simply can’t understand.
He was certain that he had died, and that a beautiful angel named Rachel would make him a warrior.
Wealth! Honor! And even beauty!
Of course, from the beginning, I didn’t expect to meet the innocent village chief and his pure daughter.
No, honestly, I was hoping for it, but it didn’t have to come true.
‘I thought we were going to have a great adventure…’
All he wanted was adventure.
Unlike my previous life, I wanted to wander the world freely.
A strange world where no one knows you.
I wanted to start a new life there.
‘A warrior’s a piece of shit… Shouldn’t he at least be given a sword!?’
Choi Hyun-seok came completely naked.
On Earth, I was confident that I could defeat anyone if I had a strong body, but this world is different.
His own body was useless in front of a muscular monster over 2.5 meters tall and a giant blade.
‘Where on earth did it go wrong?’
It was a night when I started to hate the angel named ‘Rachel’ who had said that she would make me a warrior for no reason.
Just then someone spoke to me from the next room.
“Hey you. Are you new?”
“Who, who…?”
“My name is Park Tae-soo.”
“Are you Korean!?”
“yes.”
Surprisingly, the person sitting in the room next to Choi Hyun-seok was a Korean like him.
Choi Hyun-seok, who had been using an unknown language since falling into another world, was very surprised and happy to hear Korean after just one day.
One, now is not the time to be drenched in joy.
“What on earth is going on? Please explain!”
Choi Hyun-seok spoke while sticking close to the room next door.
“I clearly died, and came to this world because they said they would make me a hero. But what is this…?”
“Ggggggggggg…”
Park Tae-soo, who was listening to Choi Hyun-seok, giggled as if he found it funny.
“Warrior… Warrior… How interesting. I am a warrior too.”
Choi Hyun-seok’s face hardened at that playful reaction.
“It’s not funny. I’m not in the mood to joke right now, so tell me properly.” “Does this sound like a joke? I may be a shabby old man now, but I used to be quite successful. In Myeongdong, there was no one who didn’t know the name of the king of fists, Park Tae-soo.”
Park Tae-soo spoke in a very serious voice.
I don’t trust it at all.
Choi Hyun-seok continued speaking, scratching his head.
“So you’re saying that you’re a warrior?” “That’s right! I’m over fifty this year, but I’m still in good shape!”
Of course, it is a secret that he collapsed and died from a myocardial infarction.
“So stop joking around…!”
The moment when Choi Hyun-seok was about to get angry.
“I’m a warrior too!”
“I am a warrior too!”
“I’m a warrior too?”
From all over the prison, people calling themselves heroes emerged.
“Kuuuuuu. I’m a warrior too. Did you think you were the only warrior?”
“Hahahaha!”
“Hehehe!”
Laughter filled the air.
Choi Hyun-seok looked around with a bewildered expression.
“What is this…?” “It is exactly as you see.”
Park Tae-soo said with a bright smile.
“There are a hundred ‘self-proclaimed’ warriors in this fortress.”
“What is that…”
Choi Hyun-seok didn’t know what to say.
Park Tae-soo chuckled as he watched him bewildered.
“Hey, rookie. Do you still think you’re a hero?”
***
Park Tae-su is said to be the first warrior to fall here.
Thanks to that, Choi Hyun-seok was able to hear many stories.
This place is rebuilding a fortress using human slaves.
The red-headed man that Choi Hyun-seok met was named ‘Raidrun’ and was said to be the leader of this place.
The guard we saw earlier was a goblin named Jack, and he was so evil that we had to be careful.
All of these were shocking stories with little realism, but there was one that was the most shocking.
“It’s all because of that XXX like Rachel XX.”
“yes?”
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes widened at the sudden appearance of the six-letter words.
Park Tae-soo continued swearing without paying any attention.
“That f*cking XX sent us here to the wrong place!” “Rachel! Raheel!!!”
“Next time we meet, I’m going to XX you, XXX you, and then I’m going to XXX you and just kill you!”
“Rachel XXXX XXXX XXX!”
As soon as the name Rachel was mentioned, the self-proclaimed warriors on all sides began to compete.
Self-proclaimed warriors who fry crab intestines and make brain mush while biting bubbles.
It was a sight that made one question whether they were truly warriors.
Choi Hyun-seok clenched his fist.
“Elder Taesu… Are you sure?”
“What do you mean?”
“That Rachel sent us to the wrong place…” “I’m pretty sure of it. I’ve talked to warriors who were captured from other places.”
Choi Hyeon-seok opened his eyes wide at Park Tae-su’s words.
“If it were anywhere else…!”
“Yes. A person who lived a normal life as a warrior.” “What about him?” “I heard that there is a district where warriors start. Most start in a bustling city, but sometimes they start in a quiet rural village.”
“…”
“In fact, most of them live ordinary lives because they are too weak to be called warriors, but it is said that no one has ever started their life as a warrior in the middle of the Demon King’s army.”
Choi Hyun-seok felt an unbearable anger welling up in him.
Then why did he fall into this hell?
His fists were shaking with anger.
“Why… why…!” “How could I know the reason? There is only one thing I know.”
Park Tae-soo said with a deep sigh.
“We’re all f*cked now.”
