Janitors Association -1-
Cleaning Association
“This, this is······”
Charon opened his mouth inside his gas mask.
I can see it even though the goggles are blocking my view.
A look of astonishment. A face distorted with horror.
I tried to say something, but I couldn’t continue.
Suddenly.
In the end, he lowered his head like that.
“Huh, huh.”
I feel like my soul is leaving me.
My legs gave out and I fell down.
puck!
My knee hurt badly, I don’t know where I hit it.
“Ugh, kuluck!”
Me vomiting blood profusely.
It’s seriously black and smells like rot.
It won’t work.
[Einherjar Method][Regeneration][Vitality]
[Magic Recovery][Contamination Resistance][Poison Resistance]
I changed the trait and took a deep breath.
“Huh, huff.”
The smell of blood seeps into my nostrils like a swarm of ants.
After clutching the holy sword and taking a deep breath for a long time, I finally came to my senses.
“Grrrr······”
“Geugeuggeuk······”
Two groans heard in the silence.
Yeah, those were still there too.
I barely managed to stand up, pulling the holy sword out of the corpse.
My head feels dizzy and my vision darkens for a moment.
The level of internal injuries, addiction, and contamination is all serious.
He walked to one side, holding the holy sword like a cane.
The corpse shieldman and the skeleton gunman were looking at me with their blurred eyes.
“I’m dying, really.”
The two became scarecrows after their creator died.
He raised his sword and struck down.
Tragedy!
I looked really tired.
I aimed the holy sword at the head containing the magic chip, but it got stuck halfway through without even penetrating.
Ugh······ Let’s come to our senses.
“Whew, whoosh.”
I calmed down and recovered more magic power before taking on the challenge.
This time it went in properly.
The holy sword cleanly cut through the skull and magic chip.
Crash!
A corpse shield soldier slowly falling down.
The skeleton gunman was dealt with in the same way.
As the three bodies lay scattered on the floor, I finally felt it was over.
“Euuuuu.”
The tension was completely relieved.
The strength drains from my legs and I collapse on my own.
I sat against the wall and took a long time to catch my breath.
Then, using the method of slaughter, he gathered the poison in his hand, made a wound in it, and threw it on the floor, just as he had done in the Shinwon Market.
As my body suddenly became cool, a stream of clear energy entered my magical circuit.
[Purification] Acquire the trait.
I smiled faintly even though my mind was hazy.
‘I’m not a real knight.’
If you get Holy Light instead of Black Flame, it’s a perfect Paladin build.
I used the cleanser on myself repeatedly.
The body that was transformed without you knowing returns to normal.
Here, all recovered magic power is injected into the necklace to activate [Healing].
It took several hours for my body to recover somewhat.
‘it’s tough.’
It is not a complete recovery.
The wound still remained acutely painful.
What you need in times like this is magic power.
You’ll need to rest there for at least 24 hours to fully recover.
“Hehehe.”

I leaned against the dirty wall and laughed.
Caron, it’s Caron.
A full-fledged level 3 superhuman and dungeon boss, Charon!
To catch it at level 2, you need to fill up a party pool, and even at level 3, soloing is out of the question if you don’t have the right traits and equipment.
I can’t help but laugh when I catch that Caron all by myself.
Crunch.
He stood up with the holy sword tucked into his waist.
First, collect the magic cores of the corpse reinforcement soldier and the skeleton gunman.
After thinking about it for a while, I cut my hair and put it in my golf bag.
Because I need evidence.
Click, click.
I took pictures and collected magic chips.
While walking around, collect the ghost magic chips.
It’s already been torn in half and can’t be used, but I’d like to give some compensation if you submit it to the government officials as evidence.
Finally, I approached Charon’s body.
‘You had a wrist guard and a ring?’
Perhaps an artifact.
My heart was pounding like it was when I was boxing.
I can’t believe I’m so excited when I see a corpse covered in blood with a burst heart.
I guess I’ve become a great psychopath.
I took off my wrist guard and ring, feeling a little bitter.
‘The wrist guard······’
As expected, it was a lightweight version of the magic wand.
A thick wrist guard made of cloth with magic circuits woven into it, with several layers of special crystal bracelets placed inside, and then lined with a lining.
You can sell it for a pretty high price, but that’s it.
I lost interest and threw it in my golf bag.
And I held the ring in my hand as if I was going to put it on and rolled it around.
‘Huh, what is it?’
I don’t feel anything.
It’s a plain gold ring with a unique appearance, so I don’t know its name.
If it contains magic or properties, shouldn’t it convey some kind of feeling to its owner?
He tilted his head and fiddled with the ring for a while.
Suddenly the ring began to vibrate and suck my magic power.
I know what it is.
It’s a magic storage ring.
An artifact that stores magical power like a battery and uses it when needed.
These days, people tend to store a lot of magical power in things like smartphones, helmets, belts, glasses, and protective clothing, but it seems like Caron has some antique tastes.
‘No. This is a huge capacity.’
When I put some magic into it, the capacity was bigger than I expected.
Even for a warrior-type superhuman, I have a large magical capacity. Even if I put all my magical power into it, there’s still a lot left over.
Assuming it’s fully level 3, can we say it’s a 1.5 Kim Jeon Sa?
It must have been the same for Caron, so it’s a huge item for a small ring.
It’s much better than carrying around a magic battery plugged into your protective suit.
“Okay.”
One is the feeling of being saved.
It would be nice to use it with a ring when using a magic gun later.
Even though I had many magical power recovery characteristics, I still found it burdensome to fire the magic gun in rapid succession.
Crunch.
He cut off Caron’s head and put it in his golf bag.
Although he was a famous superhuman, these two items were all he had.
If the quest occurs at the first landfill, it is as follows.
The setting is that one of the three directors of the Cleaning Association goes undercover almost naked and causes a disturbance at Landfill 1.
‘This is going to be a headache.’
Depending on the progress of the quest, once the linked quest occurs, you will inevitably come into conflict with the Cleaning Association.
This world wouldn’t be any different.
Since it is a complete reality, it would be more severe, not less severe.
There is no other way.
There is no choice but to win.
From the moment I decided to survive somehow, an endless struggle was in store.
“Let’s just do it like today, just like today.”
You’re doing really well.
I felt awesome today.
Who would have thought to go through it head-on at that critical moment?
I wouldn’t have been able to do that if I hadn’t had the 10,000 hours I spent at Arcane Seoul.
I stood up and encouraged myself.
When I put the broken gun and grenade launcher in my golf bag, it was quite heavy.
OMG.
I opened the door manually and went outside.
The sun was slowly setting.
A red sunset.
Even though it’s already time to leave work, the civil servants are waiting for me with anxious faces.
He was surprised and delighted to see me tired and dirty.
“Superman! Are you finally finished?”
Director Choi was also there.
“Superhuman! Are you okay? I thought something might have happened since you were so late!”
“There was something going on.”
“Huh? Even so, wasn’t it just a level 2 mutant?”
It would have been easy if there were only mutants.
I gave a shudder and pointed to my dirty body.
“I need to take a shower and cleanse myself first. I’ll be late getting off work, but I’d like everyone to wait a little bit since it’s an important matter.”
“Uh······ Yes, of course.”
“Okay. I’ll wait.”
The officials have question marks on their faces.
It’s almost the end of June. The sun won’t set until after 7 o’clock.
The attitude of “I should have waited until this time, why should I wait any longer?”
I ignored everything and went into the shower.
‘There is clearly a traitor.’
In a way, it’s natural.
Civil servants are underpaid here too.
Who would refuse if they gave them some money and treated them well?
The game makes no mention of the traitor’s actions or identity.
It exists only as a setting for a linked quest.
I have no intention of personally revealing the traitor’s identity.
I told the civil servants to take care of that among themselves.
Just thinking about how to fight the janitors’ association was enough to make my head hurt.
“Superman. Everyone is waiting.”
“Yes. Let’s go right away.”
The place where the officials are gathered is a conference room of the pollution facility management office.
They are all sitting together, led by the manager.
Among them, a young-looking civil servant looked around and spoke to me.
“Superhuman. Isn’t it already over? If you just catch all the mutants, we can take care of the rest.”
A look on his face like he’s dying to get off work.
I waited patiently, thinking that things might get worse when I didn’t hear from you, but since you came out alive, I guess you thought it was all over.
I didn’t bother explaining it in words.
Sizzle.
I opened my golf bag.
There, first, we take out the head of the corpse reinforcement soldier and place it on the conference room table.
The table shook with a thud.
The officials are so frightened that they jump up.
“No, wait a minute. What is that?”
“What kind of person’s head······”
“No! That’s not a human head! That’s a mutant!”
“A mutant?”
“You’re a mutant, so why do you have magic circuits embedded in your head?”
They still don’t understand the situation.
He took out the skeleton gunman’s head and displayed the magic core and magic chips he had collected separately in front of him.
If you still act foolish after doing this, you are not fit to be a resident of this crazy world.
The civil servants’ faces immediately became serious.
“No way, this······”
“Yes, that’s right. They’re not just mutants. They’re manufactured mutants, no, they’re modified mutants.”
“That means by any chance······”
“Do you all recognize this face?”
I took out Caron’s head.
A face so disgusted that it’s like biting one’s tongue.
The previous two heads looked like monsters, but this one was just a human head.
“Ugh!”
Several young civil servants covered their mouths and ran out of the conference room.
“Tsk tsk.”
The manager clicked his tongue.
“Anyway, these days, young people. Back in my day, we had to clean up dozens of corpses instead of just heads. Right? Chief Ahn?”
“That’s right. Wasn’t it chaos just a few years ago?”
“We should have tightened the discipline of the association guys back then.”
“I couldn’t help it because the members of the National Assembly sided with the association. The former president’s skills were really great.”
“Huh, I’m glad the association president has changed.”
“There are good points and bad points.”
I think I recognized him by looking at his face.
I took all the magic chips out of my golf bag and laid them out.
At least a few hundred broken and splintered magic chips.
The manager’s expression changed.
“Magic Chip? If it’s the magic chip that Caron used… then it wouldn’t have been able to create a zombie. Could it be a ghost?”
“That’s correct.”
“You didn’t just capture it, you captured its phantom and brought it to me.”
“Yes.”
“Ugh······”
The manager looked at me with a look of amazement on his face.
“It’s amazing that you’ve already caught Charon and the mutants, but you’ve also caught so many ghosts. It seems like what we know about you is just the tip of the iceberg.”
“Honestly, I was lucky.”
“Luck is also a skill. I’m not a superhuman, but I know a lot about superhumans. It’s true that Caron is a piece of trash, but his skill is real. Caron must have planned it and prepared for it, and that… Wow, you’re really amazing. Of course you caught the other mutants, right?”
“Of course.”
He additionally presented a magic core as evidence.
Officials busily took photos and collected samples.
Also, bring the magic storage box and put the three heads I gave you in it.
The manager bowed his head to me.
“I survived thanks to you, Superman. Actually, there was a mercenary team that I was planning on hiring other than you, but if I had joined that mercenary team, things would have been a mess.”
I know that well.
In the game, it really worked out that way.
A fully armed Caron is the final boss of the first landfill dungeon.
A mid-boss is a team of mercenaries who were resurrected as modified mutants.
You must clear this dungeon once to be able to mine at the first landfill.
I intervened before this process began.
“What are your plans for the future?”
“We should file a lawsuit. We were already being treated unfairly, and we plan to use this incident as an opportunity to show them a lesson.”
“It won’t be easy.”
“Hey, how can that be, when you’ve brought so much evidence? The council member who was looking after the cleaners’ association has also been removed from office, so those people have nowhere to turn.”
It is not a huge force that dominates South Korea, it is just an association at best.
The scene of the plane disintegrating in midair was vivid before my eyes.
The manager who had been smiling brightly suddenly hardened his face.
“First, I would like to apologize to Superman.”
“why?”
“You took risks for us for nothing. If we had just done our job properly, we wouldn’t have had to deal with such a dangerous situation today… And thank you so much for not running away and doing your job properly.”
Yeah, I know.
The manager left his post for a moment.
And he returns with two magic boxes.
two?
When you open one, the expected magic gun and black flame appear.
Second important thing.
There, an antique-style crystal bottle was shining with starlight.
The officials looked at the manager in surprise.
“Sir! That’s it!”
“Isn’t that a bit excessive?”
“Our office has one of a kind!”
“I don’t know when or what will happen······”
“Stop it. Don’t you know that thanks to you, Superman, we’re still alive? What do you think would have happened if we had left that guy, Caron, alone? It’s not a matter of dishonorable retirement! We would all have gone to prison!”
Oh, and there’s still more to come.
If Charon had stayed and caused an accident, a giant monster mutant would have been born, or a huge explosion would have occurred.
The manager politely handed me a pistol and holy water.
“This is the promised compensation and a gift from my heart. It is not the best, but it is a premium, so I hope you will accept it, as you may need it someday.”
“Thank you. I will gladly accept it.”
It was something I needed anyway.
I was thinking about going to the temple to buy it, so this is a good decision.
Let’s accept it gratefully. The manager lowers his voice this time.
“But there is one problem.”
“What’s the problem?”
“Do you know the president of the cleaning association?”
“I know a little bit.”
“Personality too?”
“Yes. Isn’t he just a dog? He’s a passive, stubborn person who can’t do anything except use his fists.”
“You’re right. He probably holds a grudge against you, Superman. I hate to say this, but… Everything that happens here gets reported to the Cleaning Association.”
The manager glared at the surrounding officials.
What do the civil servants think?
This is a world where taking bribes and selling information is commonplace.
“So, what I’m asking you is, are you interested in signing a contract with us?”
“Huh? A contract?”
“You can sign an exclusive contract with us for about two years and work at the Pollution Facility Management Office. The Management Office always welcomes capable people like you. If we do it in the form of special recruitment, there won’t be any problems. After two years, the Cleaning Association will be completely ruined, so think of it as dodging the rain. Then, if you like it, you can put down roots. If you’re a Superhuman, you might even be promoted to the Superhuman Office, not the Management Office.”
I looked at the manager from afar.
The manager is smiling kindly.
Just like when I first met Director Choi.
Also, just like the Nogada foreman who used to bully me in the original world.
“Uh······ Superman?”
Director Choi called me cautiously.
Half wanting to stop, half not knowing what to do.
Become a civil servant?
If you want to avoid the cleaners’ association, that’s fine too.
It’s not a bad choice.
As I said before, the status of civil servants in this world is as different as heaven and earth compared to the original world.
But that’s it.
So it won’t survive the upcoming series of episodes.
If you become a civil servant and live off your regular salary and bribes, who will develop character?
He grows up to be a moderately strong superhuman, but gets caught up in the current and falls to his death.
“Thank you for your kind words.”
So I could say it firmly.
“I refuse.”
