Seo Woo Jin -2-
A single-family home near Pangyo.
I was sitting in the living room, sipping coffee, overlooking a well-kept garden.
Chief Choi sits next to me and fidgets.
“It seems like the CEO is busy. He’s not the type of person to be late······”
“You can do that.”
If you’re a level 6 superhuman and the company you run is a top 10 private military company, you can’t help but be busy.
I leisurely watched the drones fly around and prune the trees in my garden.
That’s been going on for almost an hour.
Finally the door opened and a middle-aged man and woman came in.
A couple in matching white suits. They both had long swords hanging from their waists, but swords and suits went together just fine.
As soon as they entered, the energy waves they were emitting took over the entire living room.
‘This is level 6.’
I braced myself and got up as naturally as possible.
“CEO! Vice President! Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule!”
Chief Choi, bending his back almost 90 degrees.
“Nice to meet you. I am Kim Jeon Sa.”
I didn’t go that far, I just greeted him politely.
“hmm.”
The representative coughs in vain, as if he is displeased.
On the other hand, the deputy next to her, also a level 6 superhuman, smiled brightly.
“Nice to meet you. My name is Imiri. This guy here, the crooked guy, is Seo Jeong-ju. Nice to meet you.”
“Oh, what are you talking about?”
“I can see all the crookedness. If that’s the case, you should go into the study.”
“That can’t be.”
The representative snorted and sat down on a sofa in one corner of the reception room.
The attitude of turning one’s body and looking out at the garden is clearly one that one does not like.
The vice president sighed and offered seats to me and Director Choi.
“If you insist······ Please sit down. You can talk to me.”
“Yes, Vice President. Please take care of it.”
“I’m the one who needs to take good care of it. Since you’ve come all the way here, does that mean you’ll accept our request?”
Director Choi turned his gaze towards me.
I nodded my head heavily.
“Yes. Isn’t that the success bonus?”
“Well, I guess you need it too, Superman.”
The deputy representative gave me a new look.
The eyes that held wisdom were fixed on the black flames surrounding my body.
The same goes for the representative who was pretending not to know anything from afar.
While pretending not to see, I am secretly observing the black flames and the holy fire.
‘As expected.’
The circumstances are slowly becoming clear.
A solid company ranked within the top 10 among domestic private military companies.
Even my wife, who is also my co-CEO, is a powerful level 6 superhuman.
There are probably many superhuman educators you know.
But I think I know why I couldn’t awaken even one child who I wouldn’t mind putting in my eyes.
“I heard a general explanation from Director Choi. However, even Director Choi doesn’t know the details, so is there any reason why there would be a problem with awakening your magical power? As far as I know, you are both descendants of a long-standing Mumun clan, and your son inherited their blood, so unless there is a very special reason, I think you will awaken without a problem and become a superhuman.”
“That’s it······”
The deputy representative looks embarrassed.
“Hmm, hmm.”
The representative also coughed in vain without knowing what it meant.
Yeah, I guess so.
I guess I can’t say.
If something goes wrong, it will be a disgrace to the family.
The image of a weak idiot will also be added to the company’s image.
“I’m sorry. I can’t let anyone know. If you accept my request and take a magical oath of secrecy, I’ll tell you.”
“Oh, Vice President?”
Director Choi raised an objection.
“Isn’t it a bit much to ask me to do something without even telling me why?”
“There’s nothing we can do. We have our own circumstances.”
“hmm······”
Director Choi looks at me with eyes that ask what I should do.
What the heck.
My answer was set in stone.
“I understand your position, Vice President. But I can’t just accept the request, so how about meeting your son and then deciding?”
“Woojin?”
“Yes. There is no need for a secret meeting. Let’s talk briefly here and decide.”
I guess I can’t refuse this.
The deputy representative looked convinced, but the representative was grumbling to himself over there.

“Oh really, what would a level 1 beginner know if he saw this······”
“You stay still! Okay. I’ll call Woojin.”
The deputy gestures in the air.
A wave of magical energy was emitted, knocking on the sensor installed on the ceiling.
Then, it was instantly converted into an electrical signal and transmitted somewhere in the house.
What a curious device.
As I was curiously watching the sensor, the door opened and a handsome young man walked in.
“Mother, did you call me?”
“Yes, Woojin. I told you, right? There is a superhuman who overcame the baptism of the saint and became level 1. That’s him. Say hello to him.”
“Hello. This is Seo Woo-jin.”
Seo Woo-jin bowed.
It was a polite attitude that did not befit someone born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
Well, it was similar in the game. You could call him a polite character, you know? He was known among users as a humiliating character rather than a polite character because he would catch and kill users while using polite language.
“Nice to meet you too.”
I quickly glanced at Seo Woojin.
A slim and well-proportioned body.
A face that is so cute that you can almost see it.
A classy dress shirt and slacks.
This is a good thing. My eyes stopped at Seo Woojin’s right hand.
In the game, Seo Woo-jin wears thick black and gold gloves.
Only on the right hand.
Here too, it was like a game. However, the difference was that the gloves he was wearing now were not the black gold gloves of his old father’s sect, but silver gloves woven with silver, each strand engraved with a magic circle.
It looks expensive and must have been made with great care, at least something that was touched by the hands of a superhuman master.
“Your gloves are nice.”
“Thank you. It’s more than I deserve, but I always use it with gratitude.”
“I guess so.”
He took a breath and delivered a painful blow.
“Is it a sacred seal or a magical seal?”
“yes?”
“That one. Those gloves.”
Seo Woo-jin hides his right hand behind his back in surprise.
A face that is clearly agitated.
I looked back calmly at Seo Woo-jin and the middle-aged couple.
On the outside, I pretended to be calm and composed, but in their eyes, I looked like a leopard stalking its prey.
“I think you were baptized, just like me.”
“Ahem!”
“ah······”
“Oh, how did you know?”
It’s obvious.
I answered, tapping the black flames around me.
“Common sense tells you that Seo Woo-jin hasn’t awakened yet. He must have received the bee-mo-su when he was born, and he must have learned all the martial arts of the two schools since he was young. Even if he’s a dullard, he must have reached level 1, or even level 3, so there must be a reason why he hasn’t awakened yet.”
“Even so, how did you know it the moment you saw it?”
“If you think about it a little, it’s possible. There must be some special reason why you’re asking a warrior-type superhuman instead of a magician or priest? Not a high-level, experienced superhuman, but a beginner who just became level 1 the day before yesterday? There’s only one answer. It’s related to the baptism of the saint I overcame, or to be more precise, am overcoming.”
“wow······”
Seo Woo-jin clapped his hands briefly.
“Wow, you’re amazing. I thought I was looking at a detective novel character!”
“Hey, not to that extent.”
“Really. You seem like a really smart person.”
Actually, it was possible because I knew about Seo Woo Jin.
Can we say that we have connected the cause to the result?
The atmosphere in the living room changed completely.
The representative listened intently as if he was interested, and the vice representative’s eyes sparkled and magical waves flowed out.
“Superhuman. Is there a way to solve this?”
“As you know, Vice President, baptism cannot be fundamentally abolished. There are only two ways: accept it and become a believer of the god, or reject it and overcome it.”
“Yes······”
The deputy looks at me with an earnest expression.
I guess you’re desperate.
“By the way, there’s one thing I’d like to ask you. Is that okay?”
“Go ahead.”
“I heard that becoming a follower of the old father is not a bad choice. Isn’t the old father’s sect one of the seven major religious groups in Korea? It would be better to join the sect······”
“Don’t even say that!”
The representative who had been listening became angry.
The deputy representative raised his hand to calm the representative down and spoke softly.
“Since you refused baptism, I will assume you are asking because you really don’t know. We have no choice but to refuse. I don’t think you know, but the old Father’s sect has a bad reputation.”
“Rumor?”
“Yes. Not only the doctrine of the sect, but also the saints, the seven apostles, the high priests, and the priests are all strange. In the first place, how can the minds of the authors who worship a god who accepts human sacrifice be sane?”
“That’s definitely true.”
“We will serve the Guyana Shiva if we can, but we have absolutely no intention of joining the old father’s sect. If our Woojin were to join there, the company and the family would be devoured, so who would want that? Until Lee and I get dirt in our eyes, it will absolutely not be allowed.”
Aha, so that’s what happened.
I nodded my head heavily.
If you think about it, Seo Woo-jin in Arcane Seoul was leading a personal guard called [First Corps].
First security, first unit.
A union of Jegeommun and Ilggeommun, established through a political marriage between the representative and vice representative.
Later, the couple dies in some kind of accident or loses their powers, and Seo Woo-jin joins his old father’s religious sect.
Carrying the entire first security.
“The Treaty of Westphalia is really useless.”
“That’s not true. If it weren’t for that, my old father might have ruled our country like in the Middle Ages. Woojin would have been brainwashed and taken away long ago. The same goes for you, Superman. As soon as the magic barrier was created, the heretic inquisitors would have kidnapped you. The God-Destruction Treaty protects both us and you.”
“I think so. I totally agree.”
The Peace of Westphalia was a treaty made by the gods in their own names.
Even the most powerful gods find it difficult to defy them head-on.
But does the world revolve only on principles?
There were any number of ways around it.
Representative examples include nonsense such as, “God only gives trials that can be overcome,” and “You can overcome them by rejecting baptism.”
It’s always the weak who suffer.
Even if Jeil Security had become an affiliate of one of the top five conglomerates, it would not have been able to do anything.
A future level 8 superhuman that you can easily eat is looming before your eyes, and you’re just going to leave it alone?
I can’t stand that.
“It won’t be easy to overcome. Baptism becomes stronger depending on the target. Woojin-ssi, you have potential, but you must have a considerable amount of magical power because you have been training steadily since you were young. If it’s to that extent, it won’t be easy to shake it off. Nectar is originally a specific remedy for fever, but I think you’ve already tried it.”
“You really know a lot, Superman. You did a good job placing the request. Honestly, I didn’t expect it to be this good.”
“So, is that okay or not?”
You also have a short temper.
The representative moves next to the vice-representative and asks with wide eyes.
I closed my eyes for a moment and took a deep breath.
Indeed, will it work?
Will it work?
Is it possible to overcome the powerful curse and blessing of fever, especially when it is in someone else’s body?
Even I still haven’t been able to overcome my fever and am still grumbling like this?
······There was a possibility.
No, it was enough based on my 10,000 hours of gaming experience and knowledge.
The problem is compensation.
I have to work really hard, and one bottle of nectar isn’t enough.
Will you give in, or will you be satisfied with nectar?
I screamed.
“It is possible.”
“Excuse me?”
“You’re not joking, are you? Are you serious?”
The faces of the representative couple brighten up.
Seo Jin-woo stares at me as if he can’t believe it.
“But there is a condition.”
“What are the conditions?”
“Just say the word. If only our Woojin could get better······”
“Nectar is a great treasure, but I feel like it’s lacking compared to the difficulty level. Isn’t it a problem that requires overcoming not just magical awakening, but also fever and baptism?”
“hmm.”
The representative and the vice representative face each other.
Countless unspoken conversations took place in their eyes.
“great.”
The representative nodded his head sharply.
“If there’s anything you want, please let me know. I’ll try my best to accommodate it.”
“Okay, I’ll tell you.”
Listen and don’t have a fit.
I looked at the representative and spoke forcefully.
“I would like you to teach me the art of bankruptcy.”
